...Although basic food and fuel supplies are entering Gaza, the Israelis have kept out the construction material essential for rebuilding the thousands of homes damaged and destroyed in January's fighting. If the onset of winter sees no progress in rebuilding the homes of those currently living in tents and other temporary shelters - and especially if the U.S. pushes a plan that is viewed as an attempt to isolate Hamas - the pressure on the group to end the cease-fire will be coming not just from more radical challengers, but from Hamas' own commanders and fighters...
...you’ve placed yourself or have been forcibly placed on the pre-med track or are otherwise considering a concentration in the life sciences, say hello to Life Sciences 1a. LS1a covers the basic principles of molecular biology and chemistry that you will need for most upper-level courses. If you never took AP Bio or Chem, save yourself the struggle and take Life and Physical Sciences 1a, a course geared for students with limited background. You’ll get caught up in no time and won’t be much less prepared for subsequent courses...

...need to stop pretending we are honest and instead be honest about cheating. The ethical battle of our time is about the fairness of medical technology: genetic engineering, cloning, steroids, plastic surgery. We are O.K. with Viagra, LASIK and Paxil because they restore basic human functions, but we get really uncomfortable when people improve themselves by buying their pert breasts or giant pecs. It's no different from the original objections to wearing makeup, dyeing one's hair, and oiling up before an ancient Greek wrestling match - which would not have been necessary if ancient Greek men had had makeup...
