...perfect on the penalty kill and tallied all four of its goals on the power play. Scoring four goals was quite a feat for Harvard, considering Scrivens is probably the top goaltender in the nation this season. Coming into the game, the junior was first in the nation with six shutouts and a .942 save percentage. He was also second in the country with a 1.57 goals-against average...

In the first six weeks of 2009, eight people have come down with bird flu, and five have died. Another thing is that while the disease has yet to go pandemic, as many doctors fear it could, it remains worrisomely persistent. Every year since 2003, about 100 people in Asia, the Middle East and Africa contract the disease. Last year, in a rare exception, the number dropped below...
