...offense was sparked by three-pointers from co-captain Jessica Knox, Tindal, and Hallion. Over the final 9:35 of the first half, the Crimson outscored the Saints 26-4 to take a 38-24 lead into the break. Despite the large lead, the second half provided some drama. Siena’s Melissa Manzer scored 11 straight Saints points to cut the lead to single digits at 49-41 with just over 15 minutes to play. “The second half [our defense] was marginal. They were spreading us out, we were late in rotations...
Marc Rich, the fugitive U.S. tax cheater famously pardoned by President Clinton earlier this year, has been back in the news--staging a boardroom coup to seize control of one of Switzerland's biggest property-management companies. This corporate drama brought another wave of unwanted attention to Zug, the picturesque and very private town where Rich works. But Zug has a lot more to offer than a chance to spot the elusive financier. Otherwise, why would 19,456 companies and subsidiaries locate offices there...

...probable sequels seen as the decisive struggle in France's wider reform drive? Firstly, because successive governments have previously proposed and failed to modify the "special regimes" in the face of union resistance. And that is the second reason why the renewed attempt is producing a high-drama showdown. Although strong in sectors like transport - where strikes often cause enormous disruption - French unions represent less than 8% of the national workforce, and have seen their influence steadily wane over the years. Should they fail in their traditional "last stand" defense of the "special regime" pensions, they'd allow Sarkozy...
...That battle to be the viable alternative for anti-Hillary Democrats is gradually emerging as the key campaign drama in the stretch run to the Iowa caucus. It's true that Obama and Edwards have both shown signs of progress of late, attacking Clinton as a polarizing or corrupt agent of the status quo: some 70% of likely Iowa Democratic caucus-goers are either undecided or not supporting Clinton. But most observers say there isn't room for three top-tier candidates, which means the two won't be able to play nice with each other for much longer...
