...SawYouAtSinai, which was launched in 2004, takes its matchmaking seriously. Members fill out comprehensive profiles detailing their religious observance and outlook (frequency of Torah study? Black hat or knitted yarmulke?) and can't access an individual's profile until that person has been suggested as a match. That crucial limitation has allowed the site to win the blessing of well-known Orthodox rabbis and thereby reassure hesitant singles concerned about the propriety of online dating...

Likewise, Gazprom may be more attuned to the benefits of having a foreign partner with deep pockets and a long-term outlook. To help develop a vast gas field in the Barents Sea, Gazprom teamed up with Norwegian oil firm StatoilHydro and French giant Total last year, indicating there's still an openness to such partnerships, even as Russia gains confidence in its ability to fly solo. Moreover, Moscow is under pressure...
