...horse race with a record $6 million purse, Dubai draws 7 million visitors a year, along with big-name acts from Luciano Pavarotti to Tiger Woods. Its economy has nearly tripled in size, to $34.5 billion, in just a decade. "We have built a success story in a short span of time," says Mohammad al-Gergawi, executive chairman of Dubai Holding, the government-run conglomerate that oversees most of the emirate's big domestic and foreign investments.

...Penn on Feb. 11, captain Matt Stehle struggled to maintain his lofty scoring and rebounding averages from the season’s first 21 games. Stehle, who finished the season with 14.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, contributed just 11 points and seven boards per contest during that span, which included three of his lowest point outputs of the season (six against Yale, eight against Princeton, and nine against Cornell).

Then Winnipeg's Cindy Klassen and Ottawa's Kristina Groves netted gold and silver, respectively, in speedskating. That made Klassen the first Canadian to win four medals at a single Olympics (she would add a fifth on Saturday). Three hours later, Canada survived...
...after, freshman Kaitlin Martin returned the favor. On a free position shot, Martin scored her first intercollegiate goal to even up the game at one goal apiece. That was the last moment at which both teams were tied. The Orange went on offensive overdrive, scoring three goals in a span of 5:55. Two goals came from Kathryn Rowan, who would go on to lead Syracuse in scoring with four shots during the day. Harvard managed to slice the deficit to two goals. Natalie Curtis, unassisted, slipped the ball past goaltender Jen Kasel, bringing the score...
