...Origine et de la Qualité (INAO) determines exactly how much the winegrowers can produce--this year's harvest is expected to bring in 400 million bottles. With a steadily increasing demand, winemakers have asked French regulators to commit what would once have been considered heresy: to redefine or even expand the boundaries of Champagne. The beverage, after all, gets some of its character from its chalky terroir and rough climate. Yet the Syndicat Général des Vignerons de la Champagne, the grape-growers union, argues that an expansion would simply be a return to Champagne's origins. When...
...federal government long ago got into the business of insuring two groups that the job-based system excludes: Medicare covers retirees, and Medicaid covers the jobless and indigent.

So both parties would shift responsibility for health care away from business. The main difference is whether government or individuals would get control of the money business now spends on health care...
...cover adult beverages, the UC allotment to cover miscellaneous party supplies, and ultimately end up spending the same amount of their own money they would have even if the party fund still covered alcohol.

That figure was already raised by $260 in the 2007 budget and by $490 in the College Costs Reduction and Access Act passed earlier this year, meaning that if the bill passes the maximum Pell Grant...
...former University President Lawrence H. Summers. Despite his relatively short tenure, his legacy remains to this day. This fall, Harvard’s Office of International Programs (OIP) added six term-time study abroad programs, according to an old Crimson article. The OIP’s efforts to expand offerings for its participants have paid off. The number of students studying abroad in the past six years has more than doubled, according to the OIP, In 2001, only 106 students studied abroad for either a semester or a full year. Last year, 246 students went abroad during the term. However...
