From its opening sweep of its home tournament to its recent defeat of nationally-ranked CSU East Bay, the Harvard women’s water polo team (11-9) has stepped up its game all season long. The sophomore-infused lineup has proven itself against squads from across the country, but there’s one opponent they’ve been waiting for all season: the one that keeps getting away...
Though Brown comes into the matchup ranked 20th in the country, the task of taking down a ranked opponent might seem less daunting than usual, since the Crimson has already beaten one—then-No. 19 CSU East Bay—two weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Bears have lost all three of their games against nationally-ranked opponents.

According to media reports, Westerwelle is opposed to a troop increase and would rather focus on efforts to train the Afghan police. But Merkel's Defense Minister, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, a member of the CSU, is reportedly open to the idea of contributing more troops. "The FDP is the problem child of Chancellor Merkel's new government," author Gerd Langguth, who has written a biography of Merkel, tells TIME.
