US notes Bangladesh's Islamist turn, looks to woo Jamaat. DC-Delhi ties at risk?
As the Jamaat-e-Islami, Bangladesh's most prominent Islamist party, prepares for what analysts expect to be its strongest electoral showing yet, US diplomats are signalling their willingness to engage with it, reports The Washington Post. The diplomat notes Bangladesh's "Islamic shift", and seeks to build bridges with Jamaat. Experts, however, cautioned that drawing the Jamaat, which has a pro-Pakistan tilt, closer could hurt the already fraught India-US ties. Though the American Embassy in Bangladesh clarified that the US didn't favour any political party and the interaction was a "routine, off-the-record" exchange, the signal is unmissable. US SETS REDS LINES IN BANGLADESH JAMAAT OUTREACHadvertisementHistorically outlawed under successive governments, most recently during Hasina's tenure, Jamaat has long advocated sharia-based governance and socially conservative policies, including past proposals to reduce women's working hours.

CORNELL NOTES: As At-Large Hopes Slip Away, No. 12 Women’s Hockey’s Focus Shifts to Preparing for ECAC Tournament
“We’re at a point now where we pretty much are going to have to win the ECAC tournament to get in the NCAA Tournament, or at least get to the [ECAC] championship game,” said head coach Doug Derraugh ’91. However, at least one of the 11 tournament teams will come from the New England Women’s Hockey Alliance — a conference without a team near the top 11 in the NPI — meaning that there will be at a maximum five at-large bids. “Where we are right now, I don't think is going to win the championship,” Derraugh said. While all 12 ECAC teams make the conference’s tournament, the top four receive a first-round bye and home ice for the best-of-three quarterfinals. In fourth place — with 29.5 points — is Quinnipiac, while Princeton sits at the top of the standings with 34.
