...sophomore goaltender led the men’s hockey team to two shutout victories over league opponents in its first weekend at home. The No. 19 Crimson beat No. 16 Rensselaer, 3-0, Friday night and defeated Union, 4-0, on Saturday. Richter impressed the home crowd with a total of 55 saves on the weekend—28 against the Engineers and 27 against the Dutchmen. He has stopped 115 of the last 116 shots he has faced and earned both league and national recognition for his play last weekend. Richter was named ECAC Hockey Goalie of the Week...
...than it was three years ago, Fang said, and 30% or more of graduates can't find jobs despite the 9.1% growth rate. "Wage pressure is nowhere to be seen," he said, and the foreign investment in the Chinese economy may sound huge but still represents only 10% of total investment. That suggests China is less dependent on foreign investment for its growth than other Asian economies have been and thus is less likely to fall victim to the meltdown that hit them in the 1990s, when investment dried...
Still, the transition to E.U. membership could be tough, as Poland has an 18% unemployment rate and an inefficient farming sector.

In World War I, Australia lost 59,258 young men out of a total of 330,000 sent abroad. Both as a proportion of troops killed or missing and as a proportion of national population, this was the highest figure for any Allied state. It left us in the 1920s as a psychically devastated nation of widows, spinsters and orphans. This enormous death toll was rationalized as a cleansing, an erasure of the inherited...
...results have been explosive. Huge deposits of minerals, including, at Jabaluka in the Northern Territory, the richest known uranium deposits in the southern hemisphere, lie beneath the earth. No less than 15% of the total land area of Australia is owned or controlled by Aboriginal groups and councils. Some 700 land claims, covering 50% of the Australian landmass, await determination by the courts, and more are coming in every day. This avalanche has caused legal and bureaucratic gridlock. Few Aboriginal groups accept mediation by whites. No two groups agree on land use. Some, for instance, think that tribal land should...
