...Colgate assistant captain Kyle Wilson shredded the opposing defense, registering assists on all four Colgate goals as the Raiders defeated the Harvard men’s hockey team, 4-1, at Starr Rink on Friday night. Colgate junior winger Marc Fulton tallied the eventual game-winner with just 39 seconds remaining in the first period, converting from point-blank range on a feed from freshman blueliner Nick St. Pierre. Wilson earned the secondary assist on the play, already his second point of the night after he helped set up sophomore center Tyler Burton’s tally to open scoring...
...female distance runners in the country. On Saturday, the Harvard track and field star finished 54th at the USATF Cross Country Championships at Van Cortlandt Park just outside New York City. Her time of 30:23 for the 8-kilometer race put her just under four minutes behind the winner. Blake Russell, a 30-year old professional runner, won the championship race in 26:47.

Ironically, the first winner isn't an oil giant from the "coalition of the willing" but DNO ASA, a small company traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange. DNO negotiated the rights in early 2004 to drill in about 1,500 sq. mi., inking the contract in the final week of the U.S.-run occupation of Iraq.

...Lauvergeon will no doubt get over her disappointment soon, since Areva emerges as a big winner even though it lost out to EDF. That's because, as the price of selling 15% of its equity to the public, EDF agreed to invest as much as $47.6 billion over the next five years, mostly in France. Since nuclear power accounts for more than 75% of France's electricity, a good chunk of that money is likely to go toward upgrading existing plants or building new ones. EDF's dominant supplier: Areva, which has already picked up an order...
Last September, some 300 executives from the world of energy and politics clambered into a huge hole in the Finnish town of Olkiluoto to watch a laser light show as the climax of the groundbreaking for the first nuclear plant to be built in Europe in 14 years. The winner of the $3.6 billion plant contract was Areva, in a joint venture with Germany's Siemens. China currently has nine nuclear reactors in operation and says it will increase its nuclear capacity fivefold by 2020. The Chinese are expected to select a Western contractor for two new plants this year...
