...Crimson an early power play opportunity, but Quinnipiac’s goalie held tough, and it was the Bobcats who earned one of their few promising opportunities with a shorthanded breakaway. Fraser had to commit a holding penalty on Quinnipiac’s Brandon Wong at 4:42 to prevent a solid shot, and the Bobcats had momentum heading into a powerplay of their own. It was at this point, though, that Harvard’s defense, and particularly sophomore goalie Kyle Richter, proved its strength. Defenseman Jack Christian contributed with a particularly athletic block, as the defense stifled three...
...Merkel's political challenge now is to prevent the widespread anger over the tax evasion scandal from becoming a broader political crisis. In Germany, it's not necessarily enough to just throw a few corporate executives in jail and be done with it. A poll conducted earlier this month by Infratest Dimap found that 69% of Germans feel wealth in the country is unjustly distributed.

Just as a house is more than four walls and a door, energy efficiency should be holistic, with insulation, appliances, lighting and clean electricity all working together...
...some, such reforms come too late. Cassidy's death was the first in a string of at least three that led to urgent meetings at the Pentagon earlier this month on how to prevent them. They included soldiers who died in late January at WTUS in New York and Texas. Lieut. General Eric Schoomaker, the Army's top doctor, told TIME that easy access to drugs and lack of accountability played key roles in Cassidy's death. "If there's any good to come of this at all," Schoomaker said, "it's that we will work as hard...
