...victory over league champion Penn last year, although certainly no match up elicits the emotion that pervades Lee for a battle between the oldest of the Ancient Eight. While Housman’s experienced the negative aspect of that emotion, Yale first year point guard Chris Andrews, who helped seal the victory by scoring 10 points on 10-of-12 shooting from the free throw line in the final seven minutes, was introduced to the power of his home crowd...
There have been times in habitually left-leaning Canada when the suggestion that a politician took money from U.S. conservatives would have been enough to seal victory for the other guy.

But the refugees stayed on. ?We live here and we will die here,? read signs they posted in the garden...
...allegations surfaced soon after Nour founded his party calling for democracy and slamming Mubarak as a dictator. He had to run his presidential campaign beneath the cloud of the forgery allegations and then in elections last month lost his parliamentary seat amid widespread allegations of voter intimidation. To seal his fate, a state security court sentenced Nour to five years in prison last week and had him hauled off to begin serving his time. Even if Nour is exonerated on appeal, his lack of a parliamentary seat removes him from eligibility to run for president again in six years...
