...that had previously been tops in the Ivy League. The overtime loss was followed by a double-overtime draw against Holy Cross and a comeback against lowly Princeton. The team with copious options in the attacking third was suddenly stricken with an inability to find the back of the net. What was once seamless play quickly transformed into long-ball tactics and sloppiness in the midfield. Dartmouth marched onto Ohiri Field and ended all hope of an Ivy title with a 1-0 victory. But November brought the Crimson back to life. After a harrowing October, the team?...
...primaries took place: seat both delegations but grant each only half a vote per delegate as a penalty. In what the Obama campaign called a "gift" to Clinton they agreed to seat Florida's delegates based on the results of that state's January 29th primary, yielding Clinton a net gain of 19 delegates.

If you make wind turbines or solar panels, your job is reliably green. But Angelides and his allies want to cast a wider net. To them, a green-collar job can be anything that helps put America on the path to a cleaner, more energy efficient future. That means jobs in the public transit sector, jobs in green building, jobs in energy efficiency - even traditional, blue-collar manufacturing jobs, provided what you're making...
