Call it retribution, call it revenge, call it retaliation, call it all of the above, but tonight it better be called Bruins.

The Bruins host the Pittsburgh Penguins at TD Garden tonight and Penguins wanton winger Matt Cooke, who leveled Bruins center Marc Savard with a blindside hit on March 7, knocking Savard out cold and most likely out for the season with a Grade 2 concussion, is pucks public enemy No. 1.

London - Jose Mourinho never spoke of revenge, never said he had a point to prove, and yet everything about him after his Inter Milan side had beaten Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday spoke of a man enjoying a personal triumph. His pre-match press-conference had been a masterpiece of understatement, never stating how much his departure from Stamford Bridge in 2007 had hurt, and yet making it clear he felt he had been hard done to - and pointing out that he had been rather more successful since their parting than Chelsea.

DALLAS - As the Knicks walked into their locker room Saturday night, Eddie House yelled out, "Winning streak? Forget about it!"

Not only did the Knicks snap the Mavericks' 13-game winning streak with shocking ease, they avenged a 50-point loss to Dallas at the Garden on Jan 24.

"I think we remembered that game," Al Harrington said after the Knicks crushed the Mavs, 128-94. "They really embarrassed us on our home floor. So we were able to get a little bit of revenge tonight. It feels good. Revenge is sweet sometimes, you know? If we had gotten up by 50, it would have been really nice."

Ok, so Kratos is pissed off and ready to maim, murder, and viciously slice ‘n dice, hack ‘n rend anything that gets in his way, but come on – does it have to be this visceral?

Apparently the SCEA dev team thought so, and the tone is set immediately in God of War III, the culmination of the trilogy of games based off a son of Zeus that is challenged by the Olympian gods, then used and abused, but left alive and rather rabid for revenge. GoW III is cringe-worthy, and if players are not grimacing at times during this game, maybe they should seek counseling.

Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a senior figure in Hamas' military wing and wanted by Israel for more than 20 years, was assassinated in Dubai on January 20, Hamas said yesterday.

The killing of Mabhouh, considered to be a key player in arms smuggling to Hamas, has been linked to four men carrying European passports who have since managed to leave the country.

Mabhouh is believed to have been electrocuted and then strangled to death. At the end of a low-profile investigation that lasted more than a week, Hamas blamed Israel on Friday for the assassination and vowed revenge. Israel has not commented on the charges.

BENGUELA (Reuters) - Egypt and Ghana have advanced to the African Nations Cup final, maintaining their records as the tournament's most successful teams.

They will both play in a final for an eighth time when they meet in Luanda on Sunday after Ghana edged out Nigeria 1-0 and Egypt thumped Algeria 4-0 in the semi-finals.

Egypt, who remain on course for a record-breaking third successive title, will be heavily fancied against the injury-hit Ghanaian team, who overcame the absence of several key players to book their first final in 18 years.

Holocaust survivors and their relatives held a poignant vigil at Auschwitz yesterday to mark 65 years since the liberation of the Nazis' largest death camp.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined the sombre crowd as they passed beneath a replica of the infamous entrance sign Arbeit Macht Frei - Work Sets You Free.

The original is being repaired following its theft from the site in Poland. Similar events were staged across the globe yesterday for Holocaust Memorial Day. Carly Whyborn, head of Britain's Holocaust Memorial Day Trust charity, said the spirit of many Holocaust survivors sets an amazing example for today's world.

The July 5 violence began as Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking minority ethnic group, protested the deaths of Uighur factory workers in an earlier brawl in southern China and then clashed with police in the Xinjiang regional capital of Urumqi. The crowd scattered throughout the city, attacking majority Han Chinese and burning cars. Nearly 200 people, mostly Hans, were killed, according to the government. Two days later, Uighurs were targeted in revenge attacks.

When the president enters the House chamber tomorrow night to deliver his maiden State of the Union address, members of Congress, the press, and the public will see Barack Obama at the podium. But they will have Bill Clinton on their minds.

Specifically they will be thinking of 1995, when a humbled Mr. Clinton addressed a newly Republican Congress after his own health-care proposals went down in flames. Though President Obama's party still holds the majority in both houses, it.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Serena Williams moved a step closer to successfully defending her Australian Open title and extracted some family revenge Saturday with a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Carla Suarez Navarro.

Last year, Suarez Navarro beat Venus Williams in the second round.

The Spaniard didn't even get close this time.

Serena Williams' only real difficulty at Hisense Arena was in closing the first set, needing eight set points in a game that went to deuce 13 times and lasted longer than the previous five games combined.

The spurned mistress who outed her married lover on a billboard in Manhattan’s Times Square is just one more example of our out-of-whack culture that values sex over relationships, says Wheelock College professor Diane Levin.

“Women have changed,” she said yesterday. “They are taught that having a sexual relationship with a man, out of wedlock, even a married man, is what is expected of them.”

METAIRIE, La. -- Darren Sharper loves a good story, even more so when it involves him.

The NFL's interception king is on the cusp of only the second Super Bowl appearance of his 13-year career. To get there, he and the Saints must beat Minnesota, the team that let him go after last season, and Brett Favre, who was once Sharper's teammate, then a rival, and still a friend.

He wouldn't want it any other way.
