...Palestinian death toll has topped 700, according to U.N. and other sources in Gaza, while 11 Israelis have been killed, eight of them soldiers. Meanwhile, worldwide calls for a cease-fire - including repeated pleas from Benedict - have come to naught. On Thursday, during his annual address to the international diplomatic corps assigned to the Holy See, the Pope said that "military options are no solution and that violence, wherever it comes from and whatever form it takes, must be firmly condemned." The Vatican has long called for a negotiated settlement and wants Israel and the U.S. to engage other regional...
...record overall, something seems awry. To rise from the bottom to the top in one year, something big has to change. That something big was 6’10” super-recruit Andrew Van Nest. Unfortunately for the Crimson, the hopes the big man brought were for naught, as the power forward from Weston, Mass., is done for the year. Last week, the freshman suffered a shoulder injury, which will require season-ending surgery. Due to Ivy League rules, he does not have the option of red-shirting, so Van Nest will only have three years to showcase...
...Palin has the ambition for it: note her efforts to distance herself from the failing McCain campaign by criticizing the use of robocalls and the decision to pull out of Michigan and by saying that just packing her bags for Alaska after a defeat would make her efforts "for naught."

Palin has shown her ability to connect with the conservative base, and she knows how to inspire donors to write checks...
...oogling than chewing, he left the restaurant not with a hand-penned autograph, but with some first-hand celebrity DNA. Upon chatting with the waitress and discovering that Justin’s wine glass had already been claimed (his overtures for Justin’s fork were for naught, as Timberlake was eating a sandwich), Noyer recalls, “I said something like, ‘OMG, would it be like totally ‘I Love Lucy’ of me to take a souvenir?’” While the common fan cherishes celebrity possessions...
...left out the perhaps most important alternative: that of a leader. The U.S. as sole remaining post-Cold War superpower needs all the international support it can get to successfully play that responsible role. A great deal was achieved during the Clinton Administration, but that was almost put to naught under George W. Bush. As macabre as this may sound: it was only "thanks" to 9/11 that the world at least halfheartedly rallied back around the U.S. Barack Obama as President has an important message for the world: "We are your leader of choice, not because our army is stronger...
