...lead it would not give up again. Lin copied Housman with his own three-point play on the next possession, then captain guard Andrew Pusar put back a miss to make it 44-37.Miller put back his own miss the next time up the floor, but Santa Clara would pull back to make it 47-43 with 12:08 left. Lin answered with a quick bank shot. Boehm then hit an open three and Lin followed this, after taking a pass from freshman guard Oliver McNally at the top of the key, with a bullet pass down low to an open...
Researchers predict the region's economic recovery will last at least seven years - far beyond the expected end of the national recession sometime in 2010. Even so, there will be some downward pull from the U.S. economic slump. In 2009, for instance, they expect some 8,000 jobs to be added here, a figure that will drop to 6,500 jobs in 2010. "While the rest of the United States is in a deeper recession than anyone expected, we're certainly in a better place - we are an economy that's still looking for workers," says Janet Speyrer, associate dean...
...October. In November, New York?based Genco Shipping and Trading wrote off a $53 million deposit in order to get out of a $530 million deal to buy six new vessels, freeing up liquidity and strengthening the firm's "ability to act opportunistically," a Genco spokesman said.

Hundreds of vessels have been laid up off Britain, Germany, Greece and Singapore over the past several months. In the River Fal estuary, near...
Space dust, magnetic storms, solar winds and the Earth's atmosphere all create drag, which slows down the planet. Even the amount of snow covering the polar ice caps adds to the rotational lag. But one of the main obstacles is tidal friction. Because the gravitational pull between the moon and the Earth is not uniform, the tidal force stretches the Earth - core, mantle, crust, oceans and all - producing bulges. The Earth's rotation pushes the tidal bulge slightly ahead of the Earth-moon alignment; the moon's gravity, however, yanks the bulges back to keep them in line. This...
...needed supplies. "You really do want people who are trained and thinking about this specific mission," says George Koenig, a former marine who previously served as counsel to the general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security during the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. "You don't want to pull someone who is training for combat missions." Still, Koenig acknowledges that even a properly trained military is not right for the long-term job of dealing with a disaster's aftermath. And, he says, "The one drawback [could be that] most people sign up for the military; they...
