...kept Harvard at bay. St. Lawrence, on the other hand, did not get its first shot for over seven minutes. The first goal of the game came with Harvard on the power play, but it was the Saints who lit the lamp. Attempting to keep the puck in the zone, Harvard sophomore defensemen Chad Morin failed to bat down a St. Lawrence clearance, allowing for a Saints 2-on-1. Junior Kevin DeVergilio picked up the puck on the right side before centering it to classmate Brock McBride, who beat Crimson sophomore goaltender Kyle Richter. It was the first shorthanded...
...stopped wishing and started doing. In May, it entered a landmark pact with Switzerland, which, thanks to its reputation for financial discretion, has long been a favorite stopover for thieves moving hot goods onto the global black market. Swiss law allows shipments to sit in its free-port zone for up to five years without going through customs. But now, with this agreement in hand, if Greek authorities suspect a consignment may contain stolen art, they can ask the Swiss police to search it. Italy is looking to seal a similar deal with Switzerland...
...could argue that the two-month late-night hiatus was a blessing or a curse for candidates. The shows have long since been institutionalized as a free-fire zone on politicians, where ridicule is relentless and labels harden into epitaphs.

...that's nothing compared with the overtures Seoul has been playing for its Northern cousins. The centerpiece of commercial ties between the two countries remains the Kaesong industrial zone. Opened in 2003, the district is now home to 65 South Korean-run factories employing 20,000 North Koreans. Lee Im Dong, general manager of the Kaesong Industrial Council, says hundreds of other companies plan to set up plants there when a second phase opens in early 2010. A rush is anticipated in part because, at the October summit between Roh and Kim, the North agreed to key improvements...
...Hoping to capitalize on the momentum at Kaesong, the Roh government is also pushing an ambitious plan to create a second special economic zone (SEZ) in and around the West Sea port city of Haeju. One idea floated was to build a man-made island to house factories in the West Sea. But Lee Myung Bak's transition team has all but ruled out any quick movement on a West Sea project, mainly because the geopolitics of the region are still deeply contentious. The maritime border between the two countries is contested - the North and South Korean navies have skirmished...
