Default Progress Docks with Station

SUMMARY: An unmanned Russian Progress cargo ship docked with the International Space Station on Saturday, delivering over two tones of food, water, fuel, supplies and scientific equipment. Progress 13 automatically docked to the Zvezda Service Module at 1313 UTC (8:13am EST) Saturday afternoon. This is the first spacecraft to visit the station since astronaut Michael Foale and cosmonaut Alexander Kaleri were launched more than 100 days ago.

I think this story is fantastic. In light of all the problems associated with the USA projects in recent years it is encouraging to see that the Russians seem to have got it right.
