...have won 10 special elections - besting Democrats in Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina and Texas. It should be noted that the seat won in Delaware represents parts of Vice President Joe Biden's hometown. While others may be waiting for the Virginia and New Jersey 2009 gubernatorial elections as bellwethers for 2010, we have been focusing on rebuilding the party from the grass roots up - through recruiting, training and supporting down-ballot candidates for state office. The party has a bright future. It is being built in the states where the next generation of leaders...
Save for a few players born in Korean enclaves abroad, most of the North Korean team exists in obscurity at home. Ri Myung-guk, the mop-haired beanpole of a goalkeeper, seemed to characterize that alienation, his shoulder-padded jersey far too large for his alarmingly skinny frame, and his sweat pants - always a fashion faux-pas in the football world - pulling up short across his shins. Yet, the last time North Korea's footballers participated in the World Cup, they were the pride of the continent and the darlings of football fans around the world. In the 1966 tournament...
...study is a follow-up to a similar one conducted in 1995. For the new report, Boyd and his Harvard colleagues used a proprietary database called Osiris, which updates its financial data daily, to cull information on the major shareholders of tobacco-related equities.

When Lord Stanley of Preston, the Governor General of Canada, purchased the Cup for $50 in 1893, he never anticipated that a goalie would use it as a popcorn bowl in a movie theater, like the New Jersey Devils' Martin Brodeur did over a century later. Stanley bought the Cup as a prize for the best amateur hockey club in Canada. The NHL took control of it in 1926, but the tradition of abuse started at the outset. In 1905, a member of the Ottawa Silver Seven drop-kicked the Cup into a canal. The boys kept the party going...
...despite the fact that the U.S. is still the group's No. 1 financial backer, and they concede that the OAS could vote this week to readmit Cuba without U.S. approval, though it would be rare for the organization not to forge a consensus on the matter first. (New Jersey's Cuban-American Senator Bob Menendez has threatened to cut off U.S. funding to the OAS if it lifts the suspension.) Still, "the OAS's historic journey to become a region that defines itself democratically is not something that can be lightly walked away from," says a senior State Department...
