...world's deadliest and most resilient insurgencies. Sri Lankan military officials said on Sunday that more than 500 cadres of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had been killed in fighting over the weekend and that the Tamil separatist fighters are now confined to a narrow coastal stretch a little more than seven miles long in northern Sri Lanka - a far cry from the vast swaths of eastern and northern Sri Lanka controlled by the insurgents just two years ago. And eight military divisions with as many as 50,000 personnel backed by air support are going...
...Kennifer goals to round out a 5-0 run. Kennifer contributed five goals throughout the game. The two teams jostled for the lead throughout the second half. Although Harvard held a 10-8 advantage to start the fourth, Brown’s offense amped up its tempo down the stretch and grabbed an 11-10 lead with two minutes to go. The Crimson had one last opportunity to tie the game up with 34 seconds remaining. Zdrojewski got the ball inside to MacLaughlin, but a defender forced her to foul.

...unanswered scores lifted the No. 3 Big Red (7-1, 3-0 Ivy) to an eventual 13-12 victory. “We put forth a pretty good effort, but we made too many errors—sloppy errors,” co-captain Nick Smith said. The pivotal stretch began with 6:12 left in the third period after senior defenseman Max Motschwiller sent a pass to teammate Jason Duboe on the right wing, where the junior midfielder was able to give Harvard an 11-9 lead. Cornell responded in a little over a minute when Rocco Romero slipped...
...city's relatively harmonious ethnic and racial diversity. The Olympic Village is to be built along Lake Michigan, just south of downtown. An 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium is to be built in Washington Park, which is tucked between a middle-income neighborhood of rowhouses and a rather bleak stretch of Chicago's South Side. Officials here also will play up Chicago's extensive public transportation network, although there is reason to be skeptical about whether its train system - which is aging, prone to delays and frequently dirty - can be significantly improved in time for the Games. And being...
