...have a hoard of talent, led by freshman Max Kenyi, Amaker’s other three-star recruit. The squad would have been even meatier had Amaker retained his top recruit, center Frank Ben-Eze, but the first-year instead committed to play with senior sensation Stephen Curry at Davidson, last year’s NCAA Tournnament Cinderella team. It’s not all bad for the Crimson, but the team will most definitely miss Van Nest this year. Combined with a minor injury to fellow freshman forward Peter Boehm, Amaker will need to fill some holes in this...
...long-term growth, corporate pension funds tend to lean heavily on stocks. More than 60% of S&P 500 firms' holdings at the start of the year were in equities. Those firms that bet most aggressively on stocks have been especially hard hit. For example, about 80% of Harley-Davidson's pension assets were invested in equities at the end of last year. Johnson & Johnson's (79% equities) and Exxon's (75%) funds have also been bruised. But the pension pain may be most acute for smaller outfits, some of whose obligations amount to more than 100% of their market...
Erik Buell, Founder and Chairman of Buell Motorcycles, the Harley-Davidson subsidiary that makes high-performance sport bikes, is dressed in his signature mechanic's shirt and faded blue jeans when he greets me at the Buell plant in rural East Troy, Wis.

I quickly forget the plane ride that I spent fretting about how to get out of riding a motorcycle. Buell has turned it into an opportunity you wouldn't want...
...year-old former motorcycle racer from small-town Pennsylvania has this kind of effect on people. There's something about his restless enthusiasm and unpretentious charm that makes you want to hang out with him--and buy his bikes. Just ask Harley-Davidson. The hogmaker fell under Buell's spell 15 years ago when it decided to purchase a 49% stake in the tiny company as a way to attract a younger demographic to the iconic baby-boomer brand. Harley kept increasing its stake over 10 years and finally bought it all in 2003, even though Buell accounts...
...soccer and hopefully get a win.” Harvard enters this weekend’s matchup on a six-game unbeaten streak after Tuesday’s scoreless tie at Fairfield. Thus far, the season’s highlight reel includes a 2-1 win over previously-unbeaten Davidson, a 2-1 overtime victory over Northeastern, and, last weekend, a 1-1 draw with 12th-ranked Boston College. But if the team can’t start on the right foot against the Quakers, these high points will mean little. “It’s something...
