...Amaker said. “We got to have our post players play bigger, but it was hard, with Keith Wright coming back having missed a couple of games…but we can play better than we did this afternoon from an interior standpoint.” One bright spot for the Crimson was the play of junior Dan McGeary, who keyed a late comeback in the second half with his hot shooting. The junior finished with 18 points on 4-8 shooting from downtown. The run started with Harvard trialing William and Mary 42-33 with twelve minutes...
...dark ending to a bright day for the Obama family, who spent Friday out and about on Oahu during their most public day since arriving home for the holidays on Dec. 20. At midday, Obama decided to take family and friends out for a dose of shave ice, a local refreshment, and a visit to Sea Life Park, a popular aquarium located on a rocky point near a lighthouse on Oahu's Windward side. Tourists who were inside showed pool reporters photographs they took of Obama and his group. Obama was wearing a casual cream-colored shirt tucked into olive...
Amid the gravest economic and financial crisis in decades, the outlook for Christmas was never very bright. Some 54% of Americans polled by market-research firm TNS Retail Forward said they planned to spend less money on Christmas gifts this month than they did one year ago.

Black Friday shopping gets underway bright and early the following day and just over a week later comes the lighting of the nation's most famous tree in Rockefeller Center. But Americans might learn a thing or to from the Spaniards; although the Christmas season doesn't really get started until Dec. 22, they do it in style. On that date every year, children from the San Ildefonso School (once an orphanage for boys) sing a three-hour Gregorian...
...fair, the French can be just as guilty of falling back on outdated stereotypes. They tend, for example, to view Germans as loud, corpulent, penny-pinching, beer-swilling summer-time beach invaders who turn bright pink as soon as the sun appears. (Come to think of it, that's how they describe the Brits, too.) They have also been known to moan when foreigners have threatened to take charge of French companies, architectural projects, or even - God forbid! - the Paris orchestra.
