...strong contender for a medal with her American partner Ben Agosto, Belbin finally got her U.S. passport by a special amendment to a congressional act on Dec. 31, 2005, a day before the U.S. Olympic Committee's deadline for eligibility - even though a parent of a rival ice dancer lobbied senators to oppose the bill. Yet not every athlete desperate to find a welcoming Olympic team makes the cut. Greece's national bobsled and skeleton teams include at least two Canadians and three Americans with dual citizenship, but they still didn't qualify for the Games. Austrian skier Josef Strobl...
...that two-thirds of the world's Internet population speaks a language other than English), and it will form more global partnerships with content providers. Here are some things Google watchers speculate it is pursuing: new ways to search for (and perhaps buy) music, an online payment service to rival PayPal, some sort of smart phone, a space elevator to transport stuff to the moon. (Don't laugh. Brin and Page can't seem to let go of that last one, at least as an idea to kick around.) To help accomplish its goals, whatever they may be, Google raised...
...last kill of the match belonged to the Crimson. Though its regular starting setter remained unavailable due to a bone bruise—and its best player sat on the bench with a sore shoulder—the Harvard men’s volleyball team cruised past league rival Vassar, sweeping the Brewers 3-0 (30-20, 30-23, 30-24) on Saturday afternoon at the Malkin Athletic Center to win its first contest of the young season.

Without Davis, Hedrick's quest could end early, as the Netherlands are now the favorites. U.S. Speedskating coach Bart Schoute didn't expect Davis' decision-he refused to comment after the media relayed Davis' announcement to him. Davis also cites altruistic reasons for his choice: U.S. skaters Clay Mull and Charles Ryan Leveille are pursuit specialists...
...level of polarization afflicting Haiti today makes national reconciliation a tall order. Some presidential candidates have already made it clear that should Pr?val win, they will not support him. Most aggressive is businessman Charles Henri Baker, running second in the opinion polls. Pointing to his rival's 1996-2001 tenure, he said, "Nothing positive was done for the country under his leadership. I will watch him closely. If things go the democratic way, great, but if he is back to his own ways, we're the opposition." Another leading contender, 75-year-old political science professor Leslie Manigat, says Haiti...
