When the Harvard women’s hockey team rolled into Hamilton, N.Y. on Saturday, its afternoon contest with Colgate had all the makings of a trap game. The fatigued Crimson was playing its sixth game in two weeks and the Raiders—while stuck in the middle of the pack in the ECAC standings—held an impressive 12-4-1 record at home. But Harvard (15-8-3, 14-4-2 ECAC) is dominating its conference opponents right now, and the team used that momentum to barely sneak out of Hamilton victorious, beating Colgate...
...emptiness. “They” are perceived by Vargalas alone, a result of his deep pathology: “When discovered, ‘They’ immediately change tactics… It’s impossible to surround ‘Them,’ to trap ‘Them’ in a corner, to push ‘Them’ up against the wall—it’s ‘They’ who surround you, who hold you in a siege like a live castle, whose walls, alas...
...stuff got rewarded for it. In his vision, all links on a page would facilitate the accrual of small, automatic payments for whatever content was accessed. Instead, the Web got caught up in the ethos that information wants to be free. Others smarter than we were had avoided that trap.

"One thing you do is prevent good software from being written...
...military denied shelling any hospitals, and has blamed the LTTE for civilian casualties. The government said Monday that the military campaign was in a "decisive stage", and that it could not "be responsible for the safety and security of civilians still living among LTTE terrorists". Colombo claims the rebels trap civilians in order to use them as human shields. Although the government has demarcated a safe zone north of Mullaittivu, it's unclear how non-combatants might be able to reach the sanctuary. While aid agencies clamor for access to those displaced, neither they nor most journalists have been allowed...
...switch on to him. Again, Harvard rebounded on a clutch three from Housman on the next possession, but needing a stop just a minute later, it happened again. With the Crimson down just 68-65, Mavraides nailed another wide-open trifecta after Princeton had broken down the Harvard trap with 30 seconds to play. A stop would have given the Crimson a shot, but Mavraides sealed Harvard’s fate, finishing the game with a team-high 22 points.“Every team goes through stretches where they struggled to win…unfortunately, we seem like we?...
