...individual performances throughout the meet but saved their best for the last event, an exhibition 200-yard freestyle relay. Eight Crimson seniors, instead of the usual four, each swam a 25-yard leg of the relay to help the squad to a light-hearted victory in the event and cap four years of competition together at Blodgett Pool. “Today was about having fun, paying tribute to the seniors and going out with a bang,” junior diver Samantha Papadakis said. The seniors were not the only ones making a splash. Papadakis made school and Blodgett...
Perot says he knew so little about IBM that at first he thought it made only typewriters. Soon better informed, he became a Dallas-based computer supersalesman whose order books bulged so quickly that IBM put a cap on his commissions. In 1962, after five years, he founded EDS with $1,000 in capital as a company to process computerized data for other businesses.

He managed to persuade underwriters...
...such as corn ethanol by 2017. The proposal is solid--to a point. You can't use biofuels without flex-fuel vehicles, and currently there aren't many out there.

She then set off on a trip to Iraq and upon returning went a step further than she had before: "I support putting a cap on the number of American troops as of January 1st." In the end, she may be able to triangulate successfully between the dangers of Muskie-esque centrism and Kerry-esque accommodation to the left. I'd bet on her if her competitors remain limited to candidates like Senators Edwards, Barack Obama, Joseph...
...holding harvested fruit in packing houses for four to five days and testing it to avoid another PR snafu. And while growers will make more money on the few oranges they are able to sell, they are also aware that they have an incentive to keep a cap on the extra margin. Peaches, nectarines and grapes, many of which come from Chile, are now hitting their peak season - and for many consumers, that substitution may do just fine...
