...either. Nova, despite its winless record, is a solid squad out of the Atlantic-10 that gave Lehigh and UMass a run for their money. Senior ball carrier Joe Sandberg exploded for 166 yards and two touchdowns that propelled the Quakers to a season-opening win, but the Wildcats counter with bullying fullback DeQuese May. My gut tells me Penn won’t let the Brown-Harvard winner get comfortable.Prediction: Penn 30, Villanova 17DARTMOUTH (0-1) VS. NO. 1 NEW HAMPSHIRE (2-0)This is close to as big of an offensive mismatch as you could possibly find...
...Benedict may wish to argue that somewhere in the minds of Islamic suicide bombers is an unstated understanding that if anyone tried to reason them out of their plans they would counter that logic had no role because this was the will of God.

And, of course, more than anything, I would love to give a fearlessness boost to my daughters so they can avoid so many of the fears that I had to fight to overcome...

"The alliance with the GSPC isn't new, in that the group pledged its loyalty and assistance to Zarqawi back in March of 2005," said one senior French counter-terror official, referring to the Qaeda In Iraq leader, Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, killed in April. "Frankly, we still view any networks or projects Zarqawi's wider group may have begun before he was killed as more immediately dangerous than a new partnership with al Qaeda.
