...Huskies in the first 30 strokes, and a particularly strong Northeastern varsity built the lead to three-quarters of a length by the 500-meter mark. After the settle, Harvard relied—as it has all season—on a powerful, methodical base speed to creep up on the Huskies...
...environmental cost of this cropland creep is now becoming apparent. One groundbreaking new study in Science concluded that when this deforestation effect is taken into account, corn ethanol and soy biodiesel produce about twice the emissions of gasoline. Sugarcane ethanol is much cleaner, and biofuels created from waste products that don't gobble up land have real potential, but even cellulosic ethanol increases overall emissions when its plant source is grown on good cropland. "People don't want to believe renewable fuels could be bad," says the lead author, Tim Searchinger, a Princeton scholar and former Environmental Defense attorney...

Collectively, the Big Red pulled down 35 boards, including nine offensive rebounds. Tyler, shooting 9-of-11 from the floor, achieved a double double with 19 points and 10 boards. The Crimson paled in comparison, as no one achieved double digits in rebounds. As a team, Harvard could only...
