...extraordinary briefing in the Green Zone pointed a finger but it wavered. The sophisticated bomb technology behind some of the deadliest improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq came from neighboring Iran, said U.S. military officials in Baghdad on Sunday. Those IEDs used a molten ball of copper to punch through the armor of American vechicles to kill or main the passengers. Such explosively-formed penetrators (EFPs) have killed 170 U.S. troops and wounded 620 more since the spring of 2004. Their use has doubled since 2006, accelerating at the end of that year. The U.S. is usually guarded in revealing...
...important that we improve our 5-on-5 play.”Trailing 2-1 at the first intermission, Harvard took control of the game in the middle frame.Rogers tied the game just 57 seconds into the period. Picking up the puck in the left corner of the Princeton zone, the pivot skated behind the goal and somehow slipped a shallow backhand shot past Tigers goaltender Zane Kalemba at the right post.“I just tried to wrap it in and flip it through the goalie’s legs,” Rogers said...
...even more heartbreaking given the circumstances.”Harvard appeared to have the Jadwin riddle solved as the second half started, jumping out to a 42-34 lead over the first three minutes of the frame. By switching from man-to-man to an extended 3-2 zone, the Crimson was able to contain the sharp-shooting Princeton squad, which shot 6-of-14 from three-point range in the first half.

Coupled with stellar offensive play from Harvard, the Crimson built upon its halftime lead of 32-29. The only problem for Harvard: with the exception...
...funny thing happens in wartime: The U.S. military, which likes to describe peacetime helicopter accidents as "hard landings" or with other euphemisms, is often quick to suggest that a helicopter downing in a war zone "does not seem due to hostile fire." An accident, in other words. So that means, rather amazingly, that while they don't know what caused it, they claim to know what didn't cause it. And too often it's wishful thinking: In the wake of initial findings, the chance that the enemy actually did bring down the helicopter is acknowledged. (Following Wednesday's crash...
