...When I used to go fishing in the bayous of Louisiana as a boy, my friend Thomas would sometimes steal ice from those machines outside gas stations. He had the theory that ice should be free. We didn't reflect much on who would make the ice if it were free, but fortunately we grew out of that phase. Likewise, those who believe that all content should be free should reflect on who will open bureaus in Baghdad or be able to fly off as freelancers to report in Rwanda under such a system...
...lopsided match-up, should be seen as the main problem in this event. It was the players of the Covenant girls’ basketball team, not the coach or the league staff, that continued to take three-pointers once the game was clearly out of reach, that continued to steal the ball on defense from an obviously inferior opponent, and that made the basket that marked the 100th point.

But you can reduce your savings rate in 2009, spend the money instead and leave a less prosperous country in 2050. And if you borrow money from foreigners in 2009, as we have been doing more and more, they can indeed come knocking...
...year that the tides turn for Penn, which lost its first six games of the season and has lost its last five. Still, the Crimson knows better than to take the three-win Quakers lightly. Last season, it took an Emily Tay jumper with 14 seconds remaining to steal a one-point win over Penn at Lavietes Pavilion.“Penn is very physical and playing in their house is always one of our toughest games,” co-captain Niki Finelli said. “Right now, every team in the Ivy League is really dangerous...
