...game tied at 58 with 2:56 remaining, Pioneer guard Drew Shubik hit two free throws, starting a 9-0 run that would send Sacred Heart (4-7) to a 75-66 win over the Crimson (4-10) in Fairfield, Conn. and keep the visitors winless on the road so far this season. Following Shubik’s pair of free throws to start the run, the Crimson turned it over and Shubik hit another pair, making it a four-point game.

...middle of nowhere, but this Maoist guerrilla camp marks a fork in the road for the Himalayan nation. After a decade-long civil war that has claimed 13,000 lives and prompted mass protests in 2006 against the autocratic rule of King Gyanendra, the Maoists have been brought into the political mainstream, via a peace agreement that would turn the oft-romanticized Hindu kingdom into a secular republic representing the true social and ethnic diversity of Nepal's 27 million people. The self-styled People's Liberation Army agreed to retire to rural camps such as this one, to begin...
