...Lauren McCrery and Trinity’s Lauren Polonich to reach her quarterfinal bout with Ranieri. In one of the tournament’s tightest matches, Blumberg held a 2-1 lead but dropped the fourth game, 9-5. In the final game, Ranieri finally edged out the narrowest of victories with a 10-9 win. Lorentzen, as the top seed, had a relatively easy time against the No. 32 seed, the No. 16 seed, and the No. 8 seed before toppling fifth-seeded Larissa Stephenson of Trinity in the semis in less than 20 minutes...

Capp, who failed to win the position in last December’s elections, won the post by the narrowest of margins against an opponent who is to graduate in three weeks.

She rarely giggled or shrieked; her voice suggested that she was either disdainful or incapable of severe highs and lows. She wasn't one to spit out rapid-fire dialogue, a vocal reticence that would have limited her roles even...
...world's busiest waterways into one of the most dangerous. About 800 km long, the strait is traversed each year by some 50,000 ships carrying one-third of the world's trade and half its crude oil, including 90% of Japan's oil needs. Its narrowest point, near Singapore, is barely 2 km across, making passing ships easy targets. In its latest report released last month, the London-based International Maritime Bureau (IMB), whose Piracy Reporting Centre is headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, notes that although piracy decreased by a third worldwide in the first nine months of this year...
