...Crimson with 7 rebounds. “I thought we played really well as a team,” Tay said. “We had different sparks from so many different players.” The game reached a climactic finish in the last five minutes, with crucial shots from Matera. With the score tied at 47, she hit a long range three pointer that was punctuated by a tip-in from sophomore Emma Markley, putting the Crimson up 52-47. Penn responded by scoring six of the next eight points to make it 54-53. Markley quashed...

The party's recent emphasis on divisive issues like abortion, gay marriage and stem-cell research has proved out of touch with voters more concerned with the economic crisis and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Disowning any "pride of authorship," he asked both publicly and privately for the two major political parties to work together in Congress on a crucial bill to stimulate the tanking economy. And what happened? While the bill passed by a comfortable margin in the House, it earned not a single vote from a Republican. What's more, 11 Democrats opposed it as well.

Perhaps the program's most crucial success was to introduce family-planning to revolutionary Tehran, an effort that has brought down the birthrate per female, from six children to two, with the full support of religious leaders. They at first urged Iranians to boost the ranks of the "soldiers of Islam" but then promoted contraception to stop the alarming growth in population. The lower birthrate is critical to a nation like Iran as its economy evolves. About 7,000 women went door-to-door in Tehran and talked to mothers about the benefits of smaller families, informed them...
