...Miller sees it, "Five thousand years of commodity-price history" says that oil should be priced at the "marginal cost of production"--the price at which it makes sense for companies to find and extract it from the ground. And that, Miller says, is currently about $40 per bbl. Oil has shot way higher for perfectly rational reasons, from booming global demand to Hurricane Katrina's impact on refining capacity, but overseas producers have every incentive to boost supply at today's prices, says Miller, which should make up for existing shortfalls. "Barring an unforeseen event"--another Katrina...
...Crimson finished the day with only 226 yards of total offense—120 of it during a largely inconsequential fourth quarter. The Cornell defense once again had an answer for All-American running back Clifton Dawson—holding the junior to just 39 yards on the ground. The Big Red has held Dawson to an average of 58 rushing yards in the teams’ three meetings during his career. Even more discouraging for the Crimson, after a week when coach Tim Murphy stressed ball security, Harvard came out and committed five turnovers—four...

Schools, whose examination halls had been filled with students taking their high school diplomas, were deserted, answer sheets scattered on the floor.

When they found open ground, families began offering special naful prayers, while others knelt on the roadside and began reciting the Quran. Loudspeakers in the mosques urged the faithful to seek forgiveness. "I thought doomsday had fallen," said Abdur Rashid Hajjam, as he came out of prayers at a Sufi shrine. "Pray for our brethren...

Cinephiles will appreciate the homages to classic horror flicks sprinkled throughout the script. And if for no other reason, keep in mind that as hand-drawn animation quickly disappearing from screens, Wallace and Gromit may be the final vestiges of a manifestly man-made medium all too quickly succumbing to machinery...
Penn’s rushing defense, ranked third in the nation, will shut down the Bison ground game, and the backup Bucknell punter Ryan Korn—who assumed the role after the starter Phil Azarik came down with mononucleosis—will probably pull a hamstring cleaning up after the three-and-outs. If the Quakers so desired, they could win by 50. Restraint and sportsmanship could cut that number almost in half, but Penn will easily cover the points...
