Jeremy Lin Out for Rest of Regular Season With Knee Injury

Jeremy Lin's basketball season has come to an abrupt and untimely end, because of a knee injury that will require surgery.

Lin, the Knicks' point guard, has a small, chronic meniscal tear in his left knee, the Knicks announced Saturday night. He will undergo arthroscopic surgery and is expected to miss six weeks, wiping out the rest of the regular season and possibly the first round of the playoffs, assuming the Knicks make it.

Obama Clearing Way to Tighten Sanctions Targeting Iranian Oil

President Obama has determined there is enough oil in world markets to allow countries to rely less on imports from Iran, a step that could ramp up western sanctions to deter Tehran's nuclear ambitions, an administration official said Friday.

Mr. Obama is required by law to decide by March 30, and every six months after, whether the price and supply of non-Iranian oil is sufficient to allow for countries to cut their oil purchases from Iran.

The new sanctions, passed as part of the defense budget and mandated by the Senate in a rare 100-0 vote, penalize foreign corporations or other entities that purchase oil from Iran's central bank, which collects payment for most of the country's energy exports. The sanctions are meant to pressure Iran to curb its nuclear program.
