...means certain,” said CEB President Adam Goldenberg ’08. “I’m glad that it has ended the way it has with such amicable terms.” According to Pforzheimer “Warlord” John M. Sheffield ’09, the treaty between the three winners emerged following frustrations at what players characterized as the rampant cheating and treaty-breaking. He cited Dunster’s unhonored alliance with Pforzheimer and a ploy by the Mather War Council to bombard the site with fake accounts...
...young Arctic Monkeys have, with “Favourite Worst Nightmare,” done it again. They’ve released another phenomenally listenable album of pounding guitars and even harder (read: more scathing) lyrics. Once again, lead singer and guitarist Alex Turner and the other Monkeys from Sheffield, England, give us a delicious taste of blue-collar anger.

Since then, United has opened a city-center bar and retail outlet at the stadium. Analysts are impressed. "If a club hasn't got a high profile...
...Call the second DH category "the tweeners." Chicago's Jim Thome, Jason Giambi of the New York Yankees and Gary Sheffield of the Detroit Tigers are former position players in between the prime and swan song stages of their careers. But they still have plenty of pop. Thome, for example, belted 42 home runs last year, and Giambi's .413 on-base percentage was tied for sixth...
