Yale’s offense never got started, and its defense is questionable at best. Cornell’s air-tight defense should provide a much tougher test than that of San Diego, and its veteran offense will put enough points up to win. Cornell picks up an Ivy road win by a touchdown...
...OUTLOOK In the minds of the Ivy media, the Quakers have been deemed the team to beat this season. Earning that distinction on the field, however, might be a tougher task. Penn meets its two most difficult Ivy opponents—Brown and Harvard—on the road and must close out the year with a pesky Cornell squad that found its stride down the stretch last season. Penn doesn’t appear to have improved enough to take down the Crimson in Cambridge, and it probably won’t be able to dodge all the bullets...
...disputes that North Korea needs an energy source - oil, nuclear, something - to address a shortage that causes regular blackouts, even in the capital. An oil-rich country like Iran has a tougher time making a case for a nuclear energy program, according to President Bush, and he wants China's support in pressuring Iran to surrender its nuclear ambitions.

Brash's message of personal responsibility and hard work is striking a chord with taxpayers...

Walking to Court 6 , I was just in time to watch Tobias Summerer implode in a winnable match against Ivan Ljubicic, the 18th seeds. Three reckless shots cost him the second set, while his lone fan tried to encourage him in German, although not too loudly. Ljubicic looked like he was mad at everyone; his serve was just vicious and its force drew occasional gasps from the crowd...
