...Bulldogs have not lost a match away this season (2-0-0) and have only allowed two goals in the last five games that they have played. Harvard, on the other hand, has not been its usual dominant self this season, as the team has been troubled by a slew of injuries. Junior midfielder Kwaku Nyamekye has been among those injured that played a crucial role in the Crimson’s success last year. Fortunately though, Akpan and Fucito have helped the team with their excellent offensive play. Reflecting on the imminent matchup against Yale, Fucito said...

But a slew of academic experts in auction theory have yet to determine exactly how to make that work. Nor is it a guarantee that some of the worst run banks won't fail...
...give the federal government authority to buy up to $700 billion of difficult-to-sell securities. The legislation gained key support over the weekend from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and is now expected to be passed Monday by both houses of Congress. The plan follows a slew of financial shocks in recent weeks, including the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the government takeover of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and most recently, the failure of Washington Mutual and its subsequent seizure by federal regulators, the largest bank failure in American history.
