...fell out of recent audience favor. The otherworldly Daybreakers and Legion have underperformed, as has Mel Gibson's comeback revenge vehicle Edge of Darkness. And although $30 million isn't a bad start for Benicio Del Toro as Wolfman, the picture will need long legs, here and abroad, to earn back its husky $125 budget. Only Sherlock Holmes ($204 million) and The Book of Eli (which will hit $100 million before it's finished) have capitalized on blood and fisticuffs. Indeed, depending on whether you count Avatar as a love story or a war epic (it's both...
...Election Observation Mission to Nigeria as "not credible" due to "lack of transparency and evidence of fraud," adding it had "no confidence in the results." Jonathan's 2007 declaration of $2.4 million in assets during the campaign also raised questions about how an academic and public servant could earn so much. Jonathan's wife Patience was indicted by the anti-corruption Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for money laundering in 2007.

Just recently, the NLC released a report on the abject conditions in a Reebok sweatshop in San Salvador. According to the report, workers...
...Quakers’ Mark Rappo sprung from a headlock to earn an early takedown and would not relent. Rappo negated Keith’s tremendous escapability by consistenly corralling the young grappler. Each time Keith got his legs under him, Rappo would keep hold of his opponent’s foot. When Keith finally did break free, the Penn standout earned two more takedowns and a five-second pin, pushing the bout out of reach. Rappo finished with a major decision to put the Quakers on top for good...
Caputo also started the day solidly, earning a 6-1 decision against Kurt Brendel, but the most encouraging sign for Harvard came in the heavyweight division. Sophomore Spencer DeSena—competing for the first time this month—posted a dominant 7-0 win to earn the Crimson’s only win from a non-captain on the weekend. If the squad hopes to compete more effectively as a team, it will need such performances from less experienced grapplers as it advances through the Ivy slate...
