...guarantee its success, the key is to tailor the trip to the person to whom you're giving it (i.e., not yourself). Says Tom Johansmeyer, a New York City-based writer, that was the trickiest part about planning the trip to Southern France he gave his wife for her 30th birthday - making sure it retained all the elements of a gift, while being enjoyable for him too. So, after putting her through an arduous hike up a steep cliff from the Riviera town of Eze-Bord-de-Mer (his idea of fun), he made sure there was a birthday cake...
...describes the opt-out process as “checking the appropriate box” on one’s July student bill. However, the termbill Web site explains that students must handwrite a letter and send it to the Student Receivables Office by September 30th. The printed information in the Handbook for Students mentions no such cut-off date and nothing about a letter.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the original “Halloween,” the slasher movie that created and set the standard for most of the stereotypes seen in modern horror flicks. Besides, there have been enough “sensible” killers like Jigsaw and Hannibal; nothing beats a completely ruthless psychopath massacring scores...
...That opinion, apparently, is not universally shared. October 31 marks the 30th anniversary of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), which outlawed employment discrimination against women who are Poehler-ized. But the news that pregnant women need to be treated as would any employee with a broken leg or other temporary disability - i.e., not get fired or demoted - seems to have not quite sunk in. Complaints to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) are on a decade-long rise, up 65% from 1992 to 2007. And the number of cases the EEOC has decided to take on has quadrupled...
