...since I was a kid,” Parilo said Wednesday. “I thought it would be fun to have my family on Family Feud. This is a little twisted, but still fun.” The Harvard team will compete against seven other universities for a minimum prize of $120,000. USC, UCLA, Caltech, The Ohio State University, University of Notre Dame, University of Michigan and The University of Texas at Austin are also fielding teams. While the team has plenty of enthusiasm, they’re just getting to know each other—they...
...counterparts risked souring the moderate Democrats she can't afford to lose. The bill the Senate passed included a $100 billion extension of unrelated tax benefits - provisions like tax breaks for business R&D and alternative energy and money to prevent more Americans from being hit by the Alternative Minimum Tax - that the Blue Dogs have fought for years. This increasingly powerful bunch of Democrats isn't opposed to tax cuts, but they are against passing them without offsetting the costs with spending cuts...
...Congress run, the Senate, taking the lead, passed the second bill 74 to 25, with a few crucial add-ons to sweeten the pot for Republicans: extensions of popular tax benefits for business R&D and alternative energy, relief for the growing pool of people subject to the alternative minimum tax, disaster assistance for states affected by Midwestern floods and Hurricane Ike, and a provision raising the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's ceiling of guaranteed deposits to $250,000.

...Boston University, the weather was not a friend to the Crimson. Harvard finished ninth overall in the regatta, placing tenth in the A-division and eighth in the B-division. The competition was characterized by a lack of wind, which only allowed for three races—the minimum amount required for a regatta to count—to be completed. “[We were] not very happy with the result,” junior Drew Robb said. Skipper Robb and freshman crew Annie DeAngelo placed eighth, twelfth, and eighth in three B-division races. The Crimson saw similar...
...coercive implementation of the uniform minimum age has, contrary to popular belief, probably had very little influence on saving lives on the road. In fact, Harvard economics professor Jeffrey A. Miron and Elina Tetelbaum ’07 have published a working paper which suggests that any correlation between 21 laws and reduced TFRs is only statistically relevant in states that had voluntarily increased their drinking ages before the FUDAA was passed. Among states that adopted the 21 minimum because of the government incentive, there has been no measurable reduction correlation with teen TFRs. Moreover, decreases in TFRs over...
