Convenient transportation will be essential to making classes in Allston feasible. As we have argued before, the shuttles between Allston, the river Houses, and the Yard need to be frequent, fast, stop in convenient locations, and run all day long. These shuttles will serve a dual role: connecting Allston Houses to the Cambridge campus and connecting undergraduates in Cambridge to the Allston campus to get students to their afternoon sections, seminars, and labs that are being planned in Allston. If transportationin either direction—by shuttle, foot, or bike—is inconvenient, the Allston campus will suffer...
...tough turnover, but at the same time, it was a lucky shot.” Although the Crimson outshot the Knights, 18-7, in the second period, Clarkson shut down Harvard’s offensive onslaught. Off of a long pass from Reese, Taylor took a fast slap shot at the Golden Knights net, but goaltender David Leggio halted the Crimson attack. Holding Harvard scoreless, Clarkson handed the Crimson its first shutout since a 2004 tie against Northern Michigan and its first shutout loss in 98 games. “We had numerous chances to score, but their goalie played...
...Connolly’s performance, though, as the Minutemen’s only returning offensive starter ripped a career-high five goals.The Crimson began the afternoon by scoring the first two goals—Mahler sprinted past his defender for an unassisted goal following Stenmark’s fast-break score to start the game.The lead did not last much past the first quarter, though, as Connolly scored all three goals during a 3-1 UMass run, tying the game at 3-3 with 13:15 left in the second quarter.Freshman defenseman Billy Geist was called for a holding penalty...
...didn't accomplish this by cutting spending--federal expenditures are up 19% since 2004, to a projected $2.7 trillion in fiscal 2007 (on the whole, this has been the most spendthrift Administration since Lyndon Johnson's). The deficit is shrinking, instead, because tax receipts have risen almost twice that fast. The President has offered a simple explanation for this welcome bounty: A strong economy, spurred by tax cuts, has driven up incomes and thus revenue. "Low taxes mean economic vitality," he said in February, "which means more tax revenues...
...last time taxes rose this fast relative to the economy was in the late 1970s and early '80s, when soaring inflation shoved Americans into ever higher tax brackets--resulting in big tax hikes that Congress never had to vote on. That ended in 1984, when income tax brackets were indexed to inflation. The dread alternative minimum tax (AMT) is not indexed, but despite all the bad press the AMT gets, its budgetary impact has so far been minimal. That will change very soon, barring congressional intervention, but it hasn...
