...goals in five minutes when we hadn’t scored three goals in 290 minutes, or even longer than that if you include the first half [of today’s game], so it was exciting.” LONG BEACH STATE 2, HARVARD 0 With the prospect of rain and strong winds across Ohiri Field, this was not the California weather that Long Beach State’s women’s soccer team was used to.

...Karzai's legitimacy is shot. Even before the election, many Afghans (though perhaps not a majority) were angry with him over his failure to curb a system of corruption and patronage that had paralyzed efforts to repair the war-thrashed nation. The international aid community is disheartened by the prospect of another five years of a government that is infested with warlords and drug traffickers. And Washington is fed up with Karzai's duplicity and fecklessness. Despite the fact that he came to power on the back of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, Karzai used the latest poll...
