Harvard’s offensive duo of the weekend, freshman third baseman Virginia Fritsch and junior catcher Annie Dell'Aria—a transfer from Notre Dame—each cranked an RBI double in the effort, driving in Williamson both times...
...campaign heats up, so does populist sentiment that there ought to be a law against outsourcing--or at least something to slow it down. Various schemes have been proposed, such as tax initiatives or trade barriers to keep jobs from moving. Some companies may feel political pressure. Dell has moved some call-center support for business-enterprise customers back to the U.S., but the company cited poor service as the reason...
...America's biggest single source of consumer electronics. That came at some cost to American jobs but at a big cost to countries that compete directly with China, such as its Asian neighbors and Mexico. Along the way, China became a vital link in the global supply chain.

First, the bad news: at a hefty 215 g (a comparable iPod weighs 57 g less), the Dell DJ is a little too big - it barely fits in a pants pocket. But the player has some nice improvements over Apple's. The large volume buttons are a plus...
