Time to head north.Harvard concluded its equivalent of spring training on Thursday with an uninspiring overall record of 4-8, after dropping six of eight games on its recent seven-day getaway to Florida. Head coach Joe Walsh used the road trip to tinker with his batting order and vet candidates for the everyday lineup and regular starting rotation. “I’m looking for somebody to take a job out there, whether it’s an infielder or an outfielder,” Walsh said. ”We’ve just been moving...
...It’s political speech…I don’t see what it disrupts.” There is thus no justification for Frederick’s banner to fall under the principal’s jurisdiction.

Knowing he couldn't compete with the beer conglomerates, he began to tinker with an idea: invent a healthy soft drink using beer-brewing principles. Says Leipold, "One of the goals was to make a drink for children that didn't have any artificial additives and that followed the purity requirements traditionally used to make beer." That meant a product with natural ingredients only: malt, water, sugar, fruit essences. No corn syrup, nothing artificial. And he'd use the same fermentation process he used to make beer - the trick would be leaving out the alcohol...
