...Crimson overcame a rough opening period in which it was outshot, 10-4, to unleash a barrage of shots—and goals—on the Clarkson defense...
...death toll represents a rough average based on a survey of nearly 10,000 households. The low estimate for the study totaled 104,000 civilian deaths, with the high figure reaching 223,000. Both tallies were well below the 600,000 estimate put forward in a disputed 2006 John Hopkins University study, which surveyed far fewer households. But the new U.N. total rose significantly above the most widely cited running tally by Iraq Body Count, a human rights group that puts the number between 80,000 to 87,000 from the start of the war until...
...Indians, in turn, accuse the Australians of double standards. In the rough-and-tumble world of international cricket, Australia has long been known as one of the toughest teams. Though they have tried to lose their bully boy tags over the past few years, Australian players still regularly "sledge" - or verbally niggle - their opponents.

He could hold back, then rip down the keyboard at lightning speed...
...DeClore of Iowa in a close match in which the freshman fell short by a point. Jantzen then lost his next match by fall and forfeited the fifth place match by medical default, finishing sixth as a result. Junior co-captain Louis Caputo (184 lb.), seeded fourth, had a rough start to the tournament, losing by fall to Derek Ross of Nebraska-Kearny in just 51 seconds, banishing him to wrestlebacks. The veteran recovered, however, to record six straight victories over a two-day span, including a major decision and two technical falls. Caputo then faced third seed Christian Sinnott...
