...attaching a firm deadline to the end of negotiations, with 2010 as the latest possible date.

That extra time might also allow China or India to soften their negotiating tactics, and perhaps accept lesser limitations, such as mandatory targets in energy efficiency or renewable power use.

Their guile was rewarded when Yale forward Denny Kearney forced overtime with his 6-on-5 goal. A scoreless overtime, in which Harvard (5-2-1, 4-2-1) was shotless, stood in stark contrast to the eventful third period. The Bulldogs posted all three of their goals in the final...
