...shot in years at the Ivy title from flaming out in a late-season eight-game league losing streak. To do so, Cusworth must take over the lead of the Crimson frontcourt in the absence of first team All-Ivy forward Stehle, help his teammates develop a head of steam to compete in the second half, and, in the process, complete his evolution into the dynamic force so many have projected him to be. “I’m trying to focus on establishing dominance. [I want to] make a name for myself,” Cusworth says...
Unfortunately, Harris’s band can’t keep up this pace for long: by the time that they reach the final piece of the first suite, “Bourbon Street Jingling Jollies,” the band already seems to have lost steam, even as Harris tries vainly to provide locomotion with his consistently stellar playing.

Lanzhou's environmental officials said Tuesday they were still assessing the impact of the spill, and that those responsible would be punished...
...office holder, has a brusque, sometimes cartoonish style that has made her uphill battle even steeper. Though the treasurer, a social moderate, clinched enough votes in March to snatch the nomination in the bloody, five-person circular firing squad otherwise known as the G.O.P. primary, her campaign quickly lost steam. In a September poll of 600 likely voters, Blagojevich led Topinka 45% to 33%. "She just hasn't been able to capitalize on the negatives associated with the governor," said Jay Stewart executive director of the of the Better Government Association, a non-partisan watchdog group based in Chicago...
