...crunch could ease later this summer. Massive productivity increases have already led to added capacity, and increasing inventories should stall soaring prices and lower refiners' margins. Still, the refining and distribution system is severely strained. If rolling blackouts in California hamper refining operations, supplies could thin out again, not just in the West but throughout the country, as distributors race to reroute gasoline. If there are no disruptions, then wholesale prices should drop. The real question is whether gas-station owners like Saroki and Glazer, hurt so badly these past months, will pass those savings...

...Kolarik went down with an apparent knee injury. If Kolarik had bowed out, it would have been the second knee injury that the Crimson's second line suffered this week, having temporarily lost freshman winger Tim Pettit earlier this week in practice. However, the injury didn't appear to hamper Kolarik. On his first shift back, he took a pass from junior winger Jared Cantanucci in the low slot to put the Crimson up 3-2 at 11:19. It was Harvard's first lead of the night. "I got a knee check and it stiffened up on me," Kolarik...
...that, this high-profile launch is welcome, even if it's as precious and trendy as a truffle-emulsion foam. British superchef/pretty boy Jamie Oliver isn't actually naked--the title refers to his minimalist recipes--but his artfully disheveled, Prada-model looks probably didn't hamper his TV deal. To be fair, this gravy-boat dreamboat is professional and informative. But his languid preening, the jerky handheld camera and the Brit-pop sound track are enough to make you want to toss your biscotti...
