Harvard got on the board just over half a minute into the second period, when Ryabkina fished the puck out of a scrum in front of the net. The junior, positioned near the left post, backhanded a shot from a tricky angle that managed to sneak through Northeastern goalie Leah Sulyma’s legs...
...dustings. But even Obama, a Chicago transplant, acknowledged over the weekend that the city's "Snowmageddon" was formidable. The National Weather Service urged drivers to stay off the roads on Wednesday morning, citing "life-threatening blizzard conditions." Swirling winds of up to 60 m.p.h. were recorded, whipping up near whiteout conditions, with visibility at Dulles International Airport outside Washington about one-tenth of a mile. Thousands of people in the region went without power. The storm, which originated in the Midwest, was barreling up the East Coast on Wednesday, battering Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston, forcing preemptive school...

On Wednesday, the Pakistani government confirmed reports that Mehsud has died, and the Taliban has continued to deny...
...forces intensified their drone flights over Pakistan's lawless border region after a video was released showing Mehsud posing with a Jordanian doctor, a double agent who on Dec. 30 blew himself up along with seven CIA agents and a Jordanian intelligence officer at a U.S. base near Khost in eastern Afghanistan. Since Jan. 1, say Pakistani military officials, the unmanned drones - the most feared weapon in the U.S. arsenal - have struck 15 times inside Pakistan, usually in remote mountain hamlets that Pakistani ground forces cannot reach.
