...five minutes left, the two teams were tied 52-52. Yale pulled away on a 6-0 run, forcing the Crimson to come from behind with time running out.“[The last few minutes] were hell. It changed from us being in the driver’s seat to playing catch up,” said co-captain Lindsay Hallion, who led the team with 15 points.With 30 seconds remaining, Finelli drained a three to bring the Crimson to within one point of the Bulldogs, 59-58. Co-captain Jessica Knox committed a foul to stop the clock...
...French conservatives did score some significant victories in the initial round of voting: Former Prime Minister Alain Jupp?, for example, won the mayor's job in Bordeaux, just nine months after he suffered a stunning upset for the city's parliamentary seat - a loss that made him ineligible to serve in the national government. Fifteen of the 22 members of Fillon's cabinet of 33 who were on Sunday's municipal ballots either won first-round victories, or were in strong positions for the runoff.

His 2005 election to a five-year term as OAS chief gained him Latin street cred, because he was the first candidate in the history of the organization elected without U.S. backing. (The U.S. eventually accepted him as Secretary General after dropping its bid to seat a more conservative Mexican nominee.) Insulza gained further credibility as an impartial broker last year when Chavez, widely regarded as the force that got Insulza elected, angrily declared him "a true idiot" and "a viceroy of the [U.S.] empire" for warning the Venezuelan leader not to encroach on a free press...
