...spurred on by the Crimson bench, led Harvard to a 78-69 win in Ithaca and a season sweep of the Big Red on Friday. The Crimson reserves exploded for 28 second-half points as Harvard erased a nine-point halftime deficit and overcame Cornell’s torrid shooting from beyond the arc. “We’ve got to get ourselves motivated and refocused when we’re not playing up to par in the first half,” freshman forward Katie Rollins said. “We came out really strong...
...Klassen's torrid race was a highlight not just for her but for the whole team. By the time she took a congratulatory call from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, she had won four medals. She added the fifth last Saturday in what she calls the "most dreaded race," the 5,000 m, to set a new Canadian standard. And Vancouver 2010 is still in the picture.

Deep trouble. Yale is 0-3 on the road this season, making a couple of weekend splits almost a best case scenario for the Bulldogs. With...
...sure, many Google watchers are still gaga. Safa Rashtchy, a managing director of investment firm Piper Jaffray, says he expects Google shares to reach $600 by the end of this year. But the big bet behind the lofty share price--that Google can keep up its torrid rate of growth--is far from a sure thing. At last week's close of $363 a share, Google's P/E ratio (stock price divided by earnings per share, a measure of expected profits) is a whopping 76. Compared with the average of about 20 for S&P 500 tech stocks, Google...
