...Harvard women’s squash team (2-0, 1-0 Ivy) opened its 2008-09 campaign by notching convincing wins over Brown and Williams with twin 9-0 routs. With last year’s entire starting nine returning and two highly-touted freshman opening their collegiate careers, the team was at top form from the first point. Despite having no seniors in the starting nine and just freshmen and sophomores in the top four flights, the Crimson demonstrated the consistency and poise of a much older team. “Not losing anybody from last year really helped...

The eligibility cutoff for each of these age groups is January 1, meaning that in the younger leagues those kids who were born in the first three months of the year are likely to be larger, stronger, and more mature than their peers who are nine or 10 months younger than they are.

More than five million households received mailers from unions that cited CAP in attacking McCain's policy plans...
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, alarmed that the agreement - which has taken nine months of painstaking negotiations - was about to unravel, fired broadsides in all directions. At a press conference, he lambasted naysayers as political opportunists who were trying to hold his government for ransom, in effect working against the national interest. His anger was directed not only at the Sunni, Sadrist and secular blocks in parliament, which have formed a loose coalition to oppose the SOFA; he also took an unrelated sideswipe at Kurdish politicians, without whose help he cannot hope to have the agreement ratified...
