Shane’s Shutout and Special Teams Lift No. 8 Men’s Hockey Over Princeton
With less than two minutes to go in the first period, Princeton fired a hard one-timer from the blueline. The Red’s new-look top power play unit consisted of sophomore defensemen George Fegaras and Ben Robertson, Major, Psenicka and sophomore forward Ryan Walsh. Cornell successfully held off the Princeton power play, but Shane tripped up a Tiger skater and sent his team right back to the penalty kill. “We talked about getting pucks to the net [on the power play], and that play where Ben Robertson found Ryan [Walsh] on the back door. A fifth power play for the Red came with under five minutes left, proving to be another successful man advantage.

At climate talks, painstaking diplomacy and then anger
But at nearly 3:00 am on Sunday, Azerbaijan's stoic, silver-haired COP president Mukhtar Babayev raised the gavel. But no sooner was word of the deal out than countries were lining up to lodge complaints. Chandni Raina accused Babayev of ignoring objections and going ahead to announce the agreement by consensus -- a tactic repeatedly used at UN climate talks. - Down-to-wire talks -India is known for its fierce independence and criticism of Western climate policies, but it had not been as visible as some other countries, both rich and poor, in the breakneck diplomacy to reach the COP29 deal. But after pounding the gavel on a deal, in a plenary room named after Azerbaijan's national poet, the usually taciturn Babayev took a short victory lap.

Indian billionaire Adani down again, but not out
Indian billionaire Adani down again, but not outNEW DELHI, Nov 23, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Indian billionaire Gautam Adani's feverish push to expand his global energy and infrastructure empire has been knocked by US bribery charges, but analysts believe the tycoon will bounce back. The Adani Group dismissed the bribery charge as "baseless" but Shriram Subramanian, founder of corporate governance advisory firm, InGovern Research Services, said it has "huge" implications. The bribery charges are a huge hurdle for key investors, and sparking grassroots demands for greater scrutiny of major projects. In October, Gautam's nephew and board member Sagar Adani -- also named in the indictment -- told AFP there was "no political connection" between Adani Group and Modi's government. But Kugelman warned the "reputational blows", not only to the Adani Group but to India, were "severe".
