...crucial turnovers. Defensively, Harvard continued to show a lack of big-play ability in the secondary. Losing senior corner Kane Waller to a thigh injury didn't help, but the Crimson looks uncomfortable in nickel situations and tentative when protecting a lead.

...summer radio staple "Steal My Sunshine"--and it's pretty safe to assume it did--a surprise was waiting inside the Paradise. It began with Styles of Beyond, an underground hip-hop group from L.A.

That risk shouldn't keep you from buying stock for the long run, stuffing your 401(k) each pay period and sitting tight when the market turns choppy or goes flat for years. But here's my prediction, and you don't even have to buy my book: short-term risk will become more apparent in coming years, keeping a lot of money out of the market and the Dow below...
