...perimeter, creating matchup problems for smaller players or slower posts who attempt to close out against her quick release. That frees up the lane for Moretzsohn, who at 6’7 is the league’s tallest player by four inches and already has an automatic hook shot from the right side. Budischak has battled injuries throughout the year, but she’s proven to be a consistent threat close to the basket as well. Rollins, finally, has the finest touch of them all and plays extraordinarily well with her back to the basket...
Even more amazing than Clarkson's emergence as a credible pop singer is that her glitz-free approach--she favors hook-filled, unpretentious songs, like the addictive Since U Been Gone, delivered with a vocal minimalism alien to her dolphin-shrieking peers--has made her kind of, well, cool. Since U Been Gone was named the third-best single of 2005 in the Village Voice's industry-wide poll of music critics, which a few years ago would have been as inconceivable as seeing The Da Vinci Code's Dan Brown on the list of Pulitzer finalists.

...foul-outs were a] momentum shift-that was, ‘it’s time to take advantage of it, it’s time to go, time to put the dagger in,’” Hartford said.Junior Brian Darcy dumped in a jump hook as the shot clock expired to widen the advantage to four, but then Collins took control.

The Hamas win will cement Israel's belief that there isn't a partner; the unilateral impulse will remain the driving force in Israeli politics...
...will just encourage the U.S. to concentrate even more exclusively on counterterrorist search-and-destroy operations, undermining the "softly, softly" approach the European troops are equipped to handle - indeed inviting them to become targets. Of course, as in Iraq, effective local security forces might get foreign soldiers off the hook. But the new Afghan army of 26,000 is unreliable, and the new police force of 56,000 is 90% illiterate. Even more worryingly, some Iraqi terrorist tactics, such as suicide bombings and roadside explosives, have been showing up more frequently in Afghanistan. So what started as a clever political...
