This loss, as Vloka predicted, came against one of the sabre tournament’s third place finishers, St. John’s junior Dagmara Wozniak. But, despite these minor setbacks in the early parts of the competition, everything fell into place for Vloka, who was able to finish strong and win the bouts she needed to on the way to the national title. In the semifinals, she defeated Ohio State sophomore Margarita Tschomakova by a score of 15-10 and then went on to beat Ward by a slim two-point margin in the championship round...
Never a stranger to controversy, Harvard’s conservative publication, The Harvard Salient, has once again caused a minor furor on campus. A Mar. 13 feature by Patrick T. Brennan ’11 has many students up in arms about the author’s apparent insensitivity toward certain racial and cultural groups, and dismissal of the ethnic-studies program at Harvard. When evaluating the purpose of a liberal-arts education, we think that fields such as ethnic studies provide critical opportunities for students to expand their views on the world; as such, ethnic studies has every right...
...subsidies are hardly targeted at the have-nots. A family of four making up to $88,200 annually—roughly $30,000 more than the 2008 median household income—will receive subsidies from the legislation. Democrats claim that these changes, plus other minor provisions (like allowing children to remain on their parents’ insurance until age 26 and limiting the amount that smokers can be charged relative to non-smokers for insurance) will reduce the deficit. With nearly $1 trillion in new spending, how could this possibly be true...
TDEP have been around for almost 14 years—a minor miracle given the relentless energy their music demands. They play mathcore, a punk-metal hybrid that demands two things of its musicians: world-class time-keeping ability, and the belief that repeating a riff is risking stagnation. Not surprisingly, TDEP are virtuosi whose ability to maneuver odd time signatures at harrowing speeds is nonpareil. However, bands that work within a genre as schizophrenic as mathcore must be more than top-notch musicians. They must also be tasteful—too many blasts of guitar noise, time signature changes...
...early years, most Americans will see only minor changes in the health care system. It will almost immediately end some insurance-company practices, such as denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions. And dependent children under the age of 26 would be allowed to remain on their parents' policies if they cannot get health insurance elsewhere. Adults with pre-existing conditions would also be able to buy coverage through expanded high-risk pools...
