Wednesday's heavy rains left 5-6 inches of rain in Falmouth, and caused flooding in town. President Barack Obama proposed cutting the debt by $4 trillion over 12 years without supporting Republican budget cuts that he said hurt "the poor and the elderly."

The Cure Lounge, owned by Paige Hospitality, on Tremont Street in Boston must pay a $30,000 fine to the state, send its employees to anti-discrimination training, and publicly apologize after some black Harvard University graduates were not allowed into the club for an event after the Harvard-Yale football game on November 20.
Today is the day. Harvard and Yale stage the 127th edition of The Game at Harvard Stadium at noon. Yale (7-2) leads the series 65-53-8. Harvard (6-3) won 14-10 in 2009.
Seven out of fifteen ain't bad. That's how many New England schools made the Princeton Review's "green honor roll" of the greenest colleges in America by receiving as-close-to-perfect-as-possible green rankings of 99 points.
Oh, Yale. When will you learn? First you rip off (half of) Harvard's motto, and now this. In a desperate attempt to distract people from the fact that it's only the third-oldest institution of higher education in the U.S. (our own Harvard, of course, being first), Yale has resorted to financial attention-getting techniques. On the heels of the announcement that Harvard has lost $8 billion, or 22%, from its endowment, Yale is coming out with news that its own endowment has dropped 25%, finally making Yale the leader in something. (It's about time.) But those figures may be misleading: Harvard lost 22% through October of this year. Through the same period, Yale is down only 13%. The 25% estimate comes from University President Richard Levin, who says the school has lost even more money in November and December. Assuming Levin's numbers are correct, Yale's endowment now stands at a paltry $17 billion in comparison to Harvard's $28 billion, and Yale's loss for the year was about $5 billion. That's just not going to cut it, Bulldogs—you've got to bleed more bucks.
The Canadians, almost as unaccustomed to this Bruins approach to winning as we are, were determined not to let the (now in FIRST PLACE) Boston Bruins swoop into the Bell Center and keep the good times rolling. So what did they do? They play the emotional card and schedule Patrick Roy Night, seeming to assume that the Canadians would never consider giving Roy a less-than-stellar tribute.
This is the weekend of "The Game," which guarantees that the bars of Cambridge will be clogged with "Teh Douche." Bostonist is researching the thematically-correct home-drinking alternatives:
