...results from Friday’s Ivy League Heptagonals championships, but the one that best encapsulated the Crimson cross country team’s performance this weekend was: the more things change, the more they stay the same. In the end, a new coaching staff, a different training regiment and a renewed vigor weren’t enough to keep the men’s cross county team out of the Ivy League cellar, as the Crimson once again finished last at the Heptagonal Championships at Van Cortlandt Park in New York City this past weekend, placing...

By 3 a.m., TV announcers had declared Wednesday a holiday for most citizens, while civil servants were asked...
...competition. According to two former soldiers who served in Iraq, the troops produced what may have amounted to thousands of videos, many of them edited in an Army-provided computer room. Most of the videos on the website feature soldiers from a unit of the Darwin-based 2 Cavalry regiment which provided security for Australian diplomats in Baghdad until 2005. Someone referred to as Sean, who goes by the Internet nickname of pomstar, takes credit on the website for posting the videos. Sean writes that he spent "eight years in the Australian army, serving in a few places...
