...Harvard men’s volleyball team (6-5, 4-2 EIVA Hay) had a stunning weekend against New Haven (7-8) and Stevens (9-10), capturing two victories without the loss of a single game. The Crimson ended its three-match losing streak last Friday with a sweeping win against the Chargers, 3-0 (30-26, 30-18, 30-23). The following day, Harvard defeated the Ducks of Stevens, 3-0 (30-25, 30-28, 30-27). The weekend propelled the Crimson back over .500. “I think we are building a lot of momentum...

Chavez plans to seek another referendum on constitutional amendments such as abolishing term-limits before his current term ends in 2012. A big part of his argument to his countrymen will be that only he can stand up to Washington...
...Halftime in Ithaca. The crowd definitely has reason to cheer--they haven't stopped all night. A Louis Dale runner gives the Big Red it's largest margin of the night at 45-20. As time expires, Pusar gets blocked going for a layup attempt, much to the crowd's delight. At the half, it's Cornell 45, Harvard 20. Barring an incredible turnaround, it's looking like Harvard will finish the 2007-2008 season without a single road...
