...what,” Hallion added. “This is such a big game for us, and I knew I wanted to be on the court.”Despite Hallion’s second-half heroics, the Ivy champions would not go down quietly. Dartmouth senior Ashley Taylor (22 points), named the League Player of the Week in each of the past two weeks, hit a gutsy three-pointer from far beyond the arc with 37.4 seconds remaining to cut the Crimson lead to two. After two Hallion free throws, Koren Schram hit another three-ball to pull...
...Denver is how the 2008 Democratic Convention, which would be a perfect showcase for this newly left-leaning region, may be thwarted by a local labor leader so passionate he once picketed a Bruce Springsteen concert. That concert was being held in the city's Pepsi Center, and Jim Taylor, head of Local No. 7 International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, thought that the Boss shouldn't perform in an arena that refused to sanction unionized workers. The Pepsi Center still doesn't have union labor - and it is the proposed site of the Democratic Convention...
...Schroeder and Diana DeGette - though the state of Colorado can tilt red or blue, depending upon the whims of independents.

He's trying to get some leverage." Taylor's protestations have also highlighted the way Republicans will profit from a Democratic convention in Denver. The Pepsi Center is is owned by Kroenke Sports Enterprises, a.k.a. Stanley and Ann Walton Kroenke. She is the niece of Sam Walton, the conservative Republican who founded Wal-Mart. The couple, residents of Columbia, Mo., have contributed generously to individual Republican campaigns...
...Bright Hockey Center on Saturday night. After two losses at the end of November, the Crimson (4-9-0, 3-7-0 ECAC) did not play a game in the first two weeks of December. But Harvard showed little signs of rust in the league victory. Junior winger Mike Taylor netted two power-play scores, including the opening goal of the game just 2:48 in. Doug Rogers tallied the eventual gamewinner at 4:32 of the second period, knocking home a feed from senior center Kevin Du. That put the Crimson ahead, 3-0, but the Big Green...
