Since 1988, Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies has published an annual report assessing the state of housing in the U.S. This year's analysis culls information from several sources, including the Census Bureau, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The report strives to be a resource for policymakers and private citizens looking to buy, sell or rent. It reviews affordability concerns, explains how housing continues to affect the economy and cites factors that could drive growth in the future...
Brown's victory against the rebels could leave Mehta hanging on until next year for a chance to kick - or kick out - his MP.

As for the state's inability to provide commuter lines to complement HSR, authority chairman Lee Chira calls it a chicken-and-egg debate: establishing one kind of line...
After the American Medical Student Association flunked Harvard Medical School last year for failing to submit its conflict of interest policies for review, school officials hastened to turn in the paperwork this year—and got a B. Earlier this week, AMSA released its third annual PharmFree Scorecard, which evaluates conflict of interest policies against industry influence at U.S. medical schools. This year's report evaluated policies at 149 schools according to 11 categories, including gifts, free samples, and other compensation—all possible areas of conflict with pharmaceutical companies. Harvard Medical School also came under fire last...
