Unbelievable, as well as badly, badly needed. The Crimson had lost four of its last five, and appeared headed to new depths when four goals in seven minutes chased starting goaltender John Daigneau (10 saves on 14 shots) in favor of Grumet-Morris after one period. Harvard seemed, by all indications, to be in just-get-us-outta-here mode...
...amid the doubts and daily press reports of Kozlowski's trial, Breen says he's staying focused on the "blocking and tackling" of just running a company. And with the numbers starting to turn in his favor, he is even hoping to take his first vacation since joining Tyco. It won't be to a Mediterranean island for an over-the-top toga party a la Kozlowski (the bad).

Ever wonder why the Amish look so fit? In an experiment, 100 adults in an Amish farming community in southern Ontario wore pedometers and logged their physical activity for a week. Not surprisingly, the Amish, who favor a 19th century lifestyle, were quite active. The men reported 10 hours of vigorous work a week and averaged 18,425 steps a day. All told, they engaged in six times as much physical activity as did their "modern" counterparts. The bottom line? Only 4% of the Amish men were obese, vs. 31% of non-Amish men. And this despite plenty of potatoes...
...after the match’s frantic start, the momentum settled to equally favor both players. Bergman held her own, rattling off victories in four games, but was unable to overcome Cioroch’s break of her serve, falling 6-4 in the second. The straight set victory earned the Bulldogs their fourth point, knocking Harvard from the tournament...
