...we’ve got a really good feel for each other’s game.”For the season, Housman finished first on the team with 82 assists, but passing was not the only offensive dimension he displayed. The freshman grew into a crucial alternate scoring option, averaging 10 points per game, and his 271 points were the third most on the Crimson. He led Harvard in scoring on three occasions, including a 20-point performance in a win at Columbia in which he played all 40 minutes and shot 10-of-11 from the free-throw...

"It's a couple that is trying to have a kiss, and there's a writer in the middle that doesn't let them," says Patricio Wills, a longtime telenovela writer and now head of production for Telemundo...
...injury to the tissue between hoof and bone that can affect the healthy left hind leg, which now bears more weight. To minimize the risk of reinjury, Barbaro will be confined in his stall for several months. The goal is not to get him fit enough to race; that option ended shortly outside the gate at Pimlico. What he does need is an ankle strong enough to support him on his hind legs for mating. (Artificial insemination is forbidden for Thoroughbreds, in part to avoid overworking a few blood lines.)
