...Palestinian leaders say Israel's security cannot be guaranteed as long as it maintains its occupation; Israeli leaders say the occupation cannot be ended while terrorists threaten Israel's security. Hence the "roadmap," reminding the two sides of what must be done in order to break out of the logjam. But if the Israelis and Palestinians prove unable or unwilling to head out along the route described in the "roadmap," the question becomes whether the international community - and the Bush administration - has a Plan B to achieve both Israeli security and Palestinian independence...
...first-round bye in the ECAC tournament, which is given to the top four teams in the league during the regular season. The Crimson is currently in second place, three points behind Cornell, and there is no way that more than one team in the current fourth-place logjam (Brown, Dartmouth and Union) could catch Harvard during the last four games of the regular season. There’s no sense in going into detail—it’s too complicated. Just trust that your buddies on the team will have the weekend...
...increased power over the Bundesrat. That means almost every new piece of legislation must be negotiated by the Mediation Committee - whose 32 members, drawn from both houses of parliament, are now evenly divided between the SPD and the CDU - before it becomes law.

"There will be a de facto grand coalition constituted in the Mediation Committee," says Peter Lösche, a political scientist at the University of Göttingen. Grand coalitions are extremely rare...
...Minor League Co-Pitcher of the Year last September after a 58-game relief stint with Class A Western Michigan. Birtwell went 7-2 with a 1.59 ERA and struck out 101 batters in 79.1 innings… With Lentz back in the lineup and a sudden, unprecedented logjam at catcher, Walsh has worked Mann out at first base and Lentz in left field to make a platoon situation possible… The Crimson will open its season during spring break against several Florida teams, then begin its home campaign against Rhode Island on April...
...wireless industry's recent Tower Summit and Trade Show in New Orleans. "Wireless companies have already paid the Federal Government over $20 billion for licenses that are tied up in local disputes," lamented Laura Altschul, government affairs director for T-Mobile USA. "We need to break the logjam in residential areas." To speed the process, the Bush Administration is trying to give the industry unfettered access to the public right of way. Municipalities could lose control over tower siting along major roads, but it's unlikely that citizens will have no say in what happens along the edges of their...
