...Texas. The Crimson (2-2) split its matches, taking one game apiece from Kansas (7-11) and host North Texas (10-7). Both victories were last-out walk-off thrillers made possible by the outstanding debut of freshman pitcher Rachel Brown.“Our coaches told us that pitching wins games, but a great team can win it in the bottom of the seventh,” Brown said. “We can do this, we can expect wins like this, and I think it shows a lot of heart.”Brown pitched two complete games...

New York Times columnist David Leonhardt makes a clever pitch for spending now on things that will save you money later--such as Kindles and Costco memberships. But that's not going to stave off depression. And so government indebtedness and spending are being substituted for consumer indebtedness and spending. The federal deficit is projected to hit $1.2 trillion this year...
