Yanks, Sox make the right moves

|

With the Major League Baseball season winding down, and the passing of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, several contenders made bold moves to improve their clubs for the stretch run, while others decided to stand pat, citing fiscal constraints and a general lack of talent available with so many teams in the thick of the wild card race.

Armstrong grabs fifth straight Tour de France victory

|

It was his toughest win yet. But when Lance Armstrong rode down the Champs-Elysees in the yellow jersey for a record-tying fifth consecutive time on Sunday he permanently secured his position among the great cyclists in Tour de France history. The 31-year-old Texan joins Spanish great Miguel Indurain as the only two riders to have won cycling's most grueling and prestigious race five times in a row -- a record Armstrong will look to break next summer. "It's a dream, really a dream," Armstrong said in French to the media after once again ascending the Paris podium in yellow.

Baseball deals important as trade deadline looms

|

With Major League Baseball's non-waiver trade deadline just over a week away, rumors abound as to which teams will act as "buyers" to stockpile talent for a potential pennant race, and which teams will be "sellers," offering high-priced veterans in return for prospects that may (or may not) be able to help them in coming years.

Golf: Possibly a healthy alternative to class

|

As someone for whom going to class this term can best be described as a secondary activity, I've decided I should invest the mental energy normally directed to my primary reason for being at Dartmouth into what has overtaken academics in importance -- golf. I've been playing more than is healthy, seriously.

Formula racing team performs well at national event

|

The Dartmouth Formula Racing Team returned to Hanover earlier this week with an impressive 18th-place finish in the annual international Formula SAE competition. The race car is designed and built entirely by Dartmouth and Thayer School students, who handcraft almost everything in the car, including frame, suspension and bodywork. The competition is held at the Pontiac Silverdome outside of Detroit, and is sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers and the big three automotive companies: Ford Motor Company, General Motors and the DaimlerChrylser Corporation. This year was the 23rd annual running of the event and saw the largest and most competitive field to date.
