From 9-11:30 a.m., the team will hold a morning practice available for public consumption. Make your way across the river to Harvard’s high school gymnasium (er, Lavietes Pavilion) to catch a glimpse of a Crimson squad much improved from last year. Old favorites like co-captains Jeremy Lin and Doug Miller will be dominating inside and out, and a couple of star rookies will be making their debuts too. Check out some video of the studs of the class of 2013, as well as the identity of the day’s special guest, after...

...contract with the teachers union and its 13,000 members amounts to a 7.9% pay cut. The bulk of the union's teachers will have 17 furlough days a year, giving Hawaii the shortest school year in the nation. "It's completely Draconian," says Vernadette Gonzalez, whose 5-year-old daughter, Inez Anderson, is a kindergartner at Noelani. "People are shocked when they hear that this was allowed, or even considered as a sane solution to the budget crisis." Gonzalez fears that students will not be able to make up for the lost school time, noting that teachers are struggling...
