Challenge funding is completely separate from the objective process that the council conducts when it awards "project based grants." Arguments that challenge funding violates the $500 spending cap on project based grants are off target. Challenge funding is distinct from project based grants--it is more like the council allocating funds for an event that it will run itself. The council will be, in a sense, outsourcing the planning and execution of this event to student groups...
Coming into Lynah Rink, undoubtedly the most hostile hockey environment in the conference, the Crimson was at a distinct disadvantage to the No. 3 seeded home team. And despite the best efforts of the Harvard parents, who engaged in a little pre-game taunting of their own, sporting "Cornell Sucks" shirts and signs to that effect, the Crimson could only come away with a pair of 4-3 losses to end the season...
...admits. The colonoscopy itself is conducted under a mild sedative. "I was chatting the whole time," Couric recalls, "bossing my camera crew around."

Although the songs on the album each have a distinct sound, a few tracks seem out of place. "The Flood" incorporates an industrial sound that just doesn't fit the rest of the album, contrasting sharply with the next two tracks, "Cast No Shadows" and "Ordinary Night," both of which are quiet, meditative songs that could almost lull one to sleep. But the album does contain some promising music. Noteworthy tracks include "Last Weeks of the War" and "City of London," the latter of which contains traces of the Mekons' punk roots. The melodic voice of Sally Timms also deserves...
