...team had trouble controlling the ball on the turf of Hartford's fields, because Harvard plays on grass in Allston. "We didn't keep the ball, we couldn't settle it, but we have to deal with that," Leone said. "We really just couldn't get into a flow because we didn't keep the ball for any length of time." HARVARD 1, HARTFORD 1 The team wasted no time in showing off its new class of recruits, as freshman Katherine Kuzma scored the team's goal in a 1-1 tie in the season opener against tournament host Hartford...
...millenniums, China hardly touched the mighty Mekong, content to let its raging headwaters flow unimpeded from the Tibetan plateau down through Laos, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. But over the past few years, the emergent superpower has begun turning the world's 12th-longest river into a highway for regional commerce and a source of hydroelectric power. For many Indochinese entrepreneurs, increased China trade and investment has allowed a backward region to participate in their upstream neighbor's remarkable economic expansion.

The ebb and flow of the Mekong has both blessed and cursed the people of the Delta. For Tranh and other Vietnamese, they can only hope to profit from what the river now brings to Vietnam's shores: the energy of China's economic expansion, and the lure of a better life...

"Someone who is shy is less likely to open up and have a communication flow with other people," she says. "So that increases the likelihood that any turbulence from a traumatic incident is bottled up and can grow like a mushroom." If their shyness prevents them from sharing their pain with others, particularly close family members, then the feelings of humiliation and shame can get exaggerated. "They have nobody...
