...frustration. The extracurriculars began with some shoving in front of Yale’s net that sent junior forward Doug Rogers and Yale’s Mark Arcobello to the locker room with 10-minute game-misconduct penalties at 16:50.Less than three minutes later, junior Chad Morin would also take a 10-minute misconduct for a shoving match in front of the Crimson’s bench.

At one camp, staff were increasingly finding themselves mediating conflicts between refugees and local farmers, who complained the influx from Darfur had ruined their land. At another camp, Haroon Ibra Diar described how, when his people fled to Chad, the janjaweed were already employing their own macabre energy-saving measures.
