...hope that my.Harvard will catch on beyond shopping period, because it can be an effective way for all organizations on campus—not just official College business—to disseminate information. There are more improvements to the portal that could truly cement my.Harvard’s usefulness: chief among them a way for student organizations to automatically add events and meetings to the calendars of their members. If Harvard students could specify the student organizations to which they belong, the announcements and calendar entries they receive could be customized for each student. Student groups already appoint members...
...hours, the two forces battled until the outmatched gunmen melted into the shadows. "We killed folks. There's no doubt we did," says Chiarelli. He knew the fighting would soon resume, but he sent his men back into the same neighborhood to distribute food supplies and materials such as cement, nails and boards to repair homes. It was part of the military's mixed mission: to defeat the insurgents while trying to win the backing of Iraq's resentful citizens...
...officials had wondered what conditions might prevail.

Hassan Khreisheh, deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, tells TIME he handed a report on the cement deals to Arafat's attorney general and has recommended prosecutions...
According to a copy of the report obtained by TIME, well-connected companies won import licenses for 420,000 tons of Egyptian cement from last September to February, but only 33,000 tons reached the Palestinian market. The rest, the report charges, went to an Israeli company in Haifa. The report doesn't say how much of about $6 million in profits went to P.A. officials and their connections, but it does accuse several companies, including some owned by the family of Civil Affairs Minister Jamil Tarifi, of profiting from the deal. Tarifi did not return calls requesting comment. Arafat...
