...eleventh-hour alternates; with one, Alexander Artemev, getting the call to suit up just a day before the competition began. Entering the team finals, the U.S. trailed China, the leader, and eventual gold medal winner, by 9.475 points and occupied a medal-distant sixth place. Yet the unexpected does tend to occur at the Olympics, and the American men ultimately found themselves accepting bronze medals in the men's team finals Tuesday, behind the heavily favored China and Japan...
...varies from restaurant to restaurant. For some restaurants, Wednesday night is the dead night. No one likes lunches. Lunches tend to be lower check and higher pressure. And no waiters like to serve brunch. That's the punishment detail. Waiters usually know what the good shifts are and have them staked out. It was so hard to get a Saturday night in my old place.

According to the CSPI, violations that justify immediate shutdown...
...wrong guys," he says. Most aid-and-development experts, he claims, depend on Western-style measurements and reports. Rwandan churches, he says, have neither the time nor the obligation to produce them. Moreover, he asserts that executing a program involving spiritual goals through churches initially produces "results that tend not to be programmatic - they tend to be life change." (For instance, PEACE has recorded 10,000 baptisms in Rwanda.) Even when classic development programs are under way, he continues, "we don't sacrifice sustainability for speed. If you go back to my very first message in 2003, I said, This...
