...conference play is no guarantor of Ivy League success.What began as a promising 2005-06 season for Harvard turned into a nightmare just as the Ivy League season kicked into high gear. After beginning the season 5-0 in non-league play with quality wins over Holy Cross and Vermont, validating its preseason No. 2 ranking, and improving its record to 10-5 after a home-and-home sweep of Dartmouth, the Crimson began to veer off course when it suffered an excruciating 79-77 loss to Cornell in Ithaca. Harvard led by four with just over a minute...

Vermont beat heavily favored Syracuse in 2005, and this past spring No. 16 seed Albany nearly pulled off the greatest upset in tournament history, leading for much of the game before falling to the UConn juggernaut.

The idea is to ensure that low-wage workers don't see their purchasing power decline every year as costs rise and their wages remain static. Washington, Oregon, Florida and Vermont have already enacted such indexes. Opponents argue that indexing could lead to spiraling labor costs, but a recent analysis by Michael Ettlinger of the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a progressive research institute, suggests that there is minimal risk of the so-called "runaway wage" effect...
