...Harvard coach Ray Leone said. “[The players] are starting to learn each other: [their] strengths and tendencies. It’s taken a long time to make that happen.” Harvard has now scored three or more goals in three straight games, a major feat considering the squad did not score more than twice in any of its first nine contests. Against Maine, Harvard got on the board quickly, scoring in the third minute. The play started with a precise through ball to sophomore Katherine Sheeleigh, who raced towards the goal and then slotted...
There’s a new freshman goalie in town who’s making a big mark on the Harvard men’s soccer team. Austin Harms has already accomplished a difficult feat, especially for a rookie—gaining a starting role on one of the top teams in the country. After starting the first two Ivy League games of the season, Harms boasts a .900 save percentage with nine saves. Yet the California native doesn’t feel any pressure from his new role on the team. “It?...
...hack trumpeted today, however, was How To Make A Laptop Stronger, Lighter and Cheaper By Carving It Out of A Block of Aluminum. This technological feat was pioneered on the earlier superlight MacBook Air and from this day forward (until we reach the Glass Singularity, I guess) will be standard fare on all Mac laptops.

The highlight was certainly Larissa Ponomarenko’s highly arched instep beating the ground in a frenzied tick as she extended her leg on the floor with extreme hyperextension, a feat that could be trite and crude in the hands—or rather feet—of another. “Liturgy,” choreographed by Chistopher Wheeldon, was billed as the highlight of the evening, by virtue of the two stars on loan from New York City Ballet, Maria...
Chilling out is no mean feat for traders and investors these days, though; they appear to see panic selling as the better option. On Friday, Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 7.19%, while trading in Australia shot down 8.2%. Japan's Nikkei index dropped 9.62%, bringing its total loss for the week to 24%. Even before Asia's miserable day was over, European markets gave new force to the glumfest, opening with plunges near or in double digits. By day's end, those declines had been scaled back to 8.85% on London's FTSE 100, 7.7% on Paris...
