...second to surprise league champion Brown.Just three days later, as has long been the custom for the Crimson’s squad, it was announced at the team’s end-of-season banquet that linebacker Matt Thomas had won a close election for captain of the 2006 unit, replacing the graduating Erik Grimm ‘05. But from that point, from an exhilarating win and well-deserved celebration to last Saturday’s 31-14 home victory against Holy Cross, few positive things happened for fair Harvard’s football team.

...troops reportedly held an unofficial video-making competition. According to two former soldiers who served in Iraq, the troops produced what may have amounted to thousands of videos, many of them edited in an Army-provided computer room.

When it goes on a training exercise soon, he is not likely to participate; the corps doesn't want to train him and then lose him if he goes on trial. Wuterich says he occasionally sees members...
...there were sound reasons why Big Blue disgorged that trademark business--not least of which being that it was a lousy one. With its market share in retreat, the unit had lost nearly $1 billion in 3 1/2 years. Much of IBM's sales were in a slow-moving segment of the PC market--large shipments to major companies--and IBM hadn't fully tapped the more robust small-business and consumer markets. As a result, Lenovo's PC shipments have grown more slowly than the industry average for four of the past five quarters. That lopsided business, says William...
