...million. With their coup, the Kendricks beat out a movie by a slightly more renowned brother duo, Joel and Ethan Coen's Burn After Reading; and they did it without George Clooney and Brad Pitt in the cast. The next week's takings added $5.5 million, for a total of $12.5 million and counting. That's a nice haul for a picture with a $500,000 budget, but it's nothing new for the Kendricks. Their previous movie, Facing the Giants, cost just $10,000, according to the Internet Movie Database, and grossed $10 million; in other words, the film...

"Even before the bank bailouts, the budget was tight and growth prospects were low, so it's hard to see where the money can come from," says Pierre Blaise from the Brussels-based centre for socio-political research (CRISP).

Though they're the largest type of animals, mammals range in size from the titanic blue whale to the tiny mouse lemurs of Madagascar, which can fit in the palm of your hand. What they have in common are clear...

(A win counted as one point and a tie counted as a half.) But considering that several of the players are internationally-ranked chess masters, the match quickly became more complicated...
...senior John Christensen shot 77-76-77, and captain Michael Shore shot 74-78-84. Harvard was one of two teams to bring players to play as individuals. Four traveled with the team and played the course, though their scores would not count for the Crimson total. “We took nine overall, five as part of the team, and the rest just to gain experience and to evaluate everyone’s game in a tournament setting,” Mayer said. Playing as an individual, freshman Tony Grillo knocked out an impressive 15th place, shooting...
