...necessity, start several years in advance. We do, however, object to his abuse of the legislature and blatant defiance of the will of his constituents. To use his personal time to prepare for his political future is one thing, but to hijack his state’s legislature and convert it into a national showcase of his political agenda is quite another. The issues that Romney continues to needlessly push—reinstating capital punishment and, most prominently, banning same-sex marriage—have already been sufficiently debated, and the electorate’s will has been made clear...

...projectors. But paying for ongoing costs, such as transferring films from 35-mm to digital, encoding them and getting them to movie theaters, calls for more creative solutions. Avica, which makes servers, wants to digitize all 500-odd screens in Ireland using private funding. In its bid to convert 500 screens across Europe by 2007, Belgian firm XDC will charge theater owners a small monthly fee and make up the difference itself. And at Disney, which recently installed 84 digital projectors in the U.S. to show a 3-D version of its big-buzz animation Chicken Little, senior vice president...

...staff are planned at least six months in advance. Despite this, we have produced four successful shows.The final constraint faced by HCC is the limited availability of appropriate venues at Harvard. There is no ready-made concert venue, but merely spaces used for other events that the HCC must convert. Sanders Theatre’s seating is limited; Lavietes and Gordon Track are first and foremost athletic arenas and are only available through the kind cooperation of Harvard Athletics. The primary use of these venues requires that concerts happen on off-days, namely Sundays. While the planning process can take...

...makes a bad bet. But through naked short selling, hedge funds can stir up trouble for any publicly traded firm. In the case of Pet Quarters, the suit alleges that Badian's hedge fund lent the firm sorely needed operating capital on terms that allowed the hedge fund to convert the debt to shares at any time. Through naked short selling, Badian then pushed Pet Quarters stock from $4 to just pennies. Badian balanced his massive short selling with cheap shares obtained after he converted the loan to stock...

...weekend contests against No. 3 Cornell and No. 17 Colgate, and to match the perpetual ECAC powers, the Crimson (2-1-0, 2-1-0) must sift through its first three games—through a sporadic mix of precision and sloppiness, of pinpoint execution and absolute inability to convert. En route to its early record, Harvard outskated Dartmouth 5-2, outfought Princeton 2-1 and just plain could not execute against Quinnipiac in a 5-2 loss. Tomorrow against the Big Red (3-1-0, 2-0-0) and Saturday versus the Raiders...
