...five minutes of overtime. The 6’1 guard rewarded that confidence just at the point when it looked like the game, seemingly well in hand for Harvard when it held an eight-point lead midway through the second half, had escaped from the Crimson in brutal fashion. With the score tied at 78 and a minute and a half left in overtime, Wildcats guard Jermaine Anderson pulled up at the top of the key, several feet beyond the arc, and buried the three to ignite the suprisingly vocal 642 fans in attendance and give New Hampshire...

While Buddhist police and soldiers are still the prime targets, these days the militants are killing just as many Muslim civilians. Anyone who joins...
...accord, he notified Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas who passed on the offer to the Israelis. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was told that if he pulled troops out of Gaza, the Palestinian militants would halt their rocket fire. For Palestinians and Israelis, the truce offered a respite from a brutal and inconclusive mess in Gaza. In last week?s offensive, over 30 tanks rolled into Gaza, and Israeli forces used aircraft to fire missiles killing suspected Palestinian commanders. The Palestinians tried to counter this assault by sending a swarm of civilians to the house of a militant commander...
