...competed for the Crimson in all five fall tournaments, and freshman Peter Singh made four appearances. At the McLaughlin, the first event of the fall, in which the team finished in 12th place, Mayer’s three-under 67 would prove to be the team’s lowest score of the season. At the Yale Invitational, the first spring event, Harvard held a two-stroke lead after round one but fell to sixth place overall after posting a combined score of 312 on the second day. The round-two struggles revealed a frustrating inconsistency, but even establishing...
...severity of the crime originally being investigated. It's part of a general category of enhancements - from particularly depraved conduct to the use of a weapon - that can, depending on the crime, increase a sentence if the judge determines by a preponderance of the evidence (the law's lowest level of proof) that they happened.

"In the last 15 years, [child] abuse cases have increased so much," says Masami Ohinata, a developmental psychology professor at Keisen University. "I consider this increase an SOS sign that tells us we live...
...largest carmaker, and even runner-up brands like Honda are in better shape than their struggling American counterparts. But back home, the news isn't so golden. Thanks to an aging, shrinking population and lackluster consumer spending, sales of full-size vehicles in Japan last year were the lowest since 1977. Mighty Toyota may have posted a record global profit of $18.6 billion for 2006, but its home-soil sales slumped...
