...sophomore forward Michael Del Mauro all had shots on goal in the early going.Despite having control of the game early in the first period, a quick lapse in play caused the Crimson to suddenly find itself down two goals. The Raiders scored two goals within 40 seconds to swing the momentum its way. “I guess for a few minutes we let down our guard and they got two quick goals,” Killorn said. “That was kind of a downer, but then we scored in the second period, so we knew we could...

Well before this month's election, Obama fever was in full swing in a small town in western Japan called Obama, where residents formed hula teams in homage of the politician's Hawaii years. Ten months ago, Notchi didn't even know who Barack Obama was until his wife mentioned he looked like the up-and-coming politician. "I thought Obama was a pro wrestler or a fighter or something," the comedian recalls, wearing the dark suit - originally purchased for weddings and funerals - that he uses...
