...guard Drew Housman and freshman guard Oliver McNally each had 10 points as Harvard shot 12-of-20 from the floor after the break following a rough 12-of-32 performance in the first half. On the other end, an excellent Crimson defense held the visitors to just 38.7 percent field-goal shooting after the break. “In the second half, we were able to stretch things out and I thought our defense was tremendous. I thought that was the key for us. I was really pleased for us to get another win under our belt coming...
...second half proved that accuracy was the key. Both teams again came out of the locker rooms in attack mode, yet the Crimson was able to supplement inside scoring with perimeter target practice as well. Harvard shot 49 percent from the field overall and 44 percent on 4-of-9 from downtown. Columbia shot just 37 percent from the field and were brick masons from beyond the arc, shooting 0-10 from three point range...

Fortunately, the Obama administration has aimed these hikes at the right brackets—the top five percent of taxpayers and what some have called the “shadow banking industry,” namely hedge funds and private equity firms. Currently taxed at only capital gains rates, these money managers would now face income tax rates, yielding a projected $24 billion in tax revenue. Not only is this logical, since they earn their income through capital gains, but it is the right target in leveling the playing field...
...There are better ways for Harvard to work with industry. Yale made headlines in 2001 when it partnered with Bristol-Myers Squibb to jointly announce that they would permit the sale of low-priced generic drugs in South Africa, which led to a 96-percent reduction in the price of one first-line HIV treatment. More recently, the University of British Columbia has formalized a policy that will incorporate global access wherever possible into agreements with industry. These licensing policies for global access cost a negligible amount because markets in developing countries generate so little revenue. The benefits of these...
...fund university research. For example, in the year following UBC’s implementation of its global access policy in 2007, UBC increased the number of new technologies licensed, industry funding remained steady, and research funding from all sources, including government and non-profit, increased by over 15 percent...
