...spokesman told TIME the company doesn't anticipate their shipments to peak until Dec. 21, when they expect to process 22 million packages (a typical day, by contrast, involves only 15 million). And if you really want to push it, major carriers will accept holiday shipping as late as Dec. 23 - two days later than the deadline for first-class and priority mail shipments through the USPS. For the privilege of overnight shipping that arrives at your destination on Christmas eve, you can expect to pay a hefty premium...
...increasing stipends for graduate students by three percent. The Harvard community has not been given a brief on the state of the budget since Sept. 15, so we are unsure of whether the announcement is a sign of budget security or an exception to the FAS policy of late that dictates trimming spending wherever possible. Regardless, Dean Smith’s spending decisions are misdirected. Given the numerous cuts the university has faced since the unfortunate implosion of the economy and subsequent drop in endowment value, several areas of the College need future funds more desperately than professors and graduate...
It’s time for Harvard students to rise up like our predecessors to protest our modern equivalent—the cuts to hot breakfast.

The late revelation that two members of his finance committee had supported Hotze's anti-gay PAC did not help Locke with moderate Republican voters, who saw the issue as not central to the vote. The business establishment, which originally felt that Parker could not win, cooled to their chosen candidate...
...displaced. Talks on the sensitive issues of property and security have barely inched forward since last year, despite twice-weekly meetings. The problem now is that time is running out for the Turkish Cypriot side. A deal, or at least a concrete roadmap, would have to be agreed by late February to be approved in time for Talat's election run. "The only way really to get the Greek Cypriots to move forward is pressure from outside," says Munir. "But the question is who could apply that?" It is also a delicate issue. Christofias last week complained that "our tragedy...
