...Brazilian Grand Prix, the final race of the year. In just his second season in Formula One, 23-year-old Briton Lewis Hamilton became its youngest ever world champion, sensationally grabbing fifth place on the last corner of the Interlagos track in São Paulo to claim motor sport's premier prize by a single point from hometown hero and Ferrari star Felipe Massa. Italian Giancarlo Fisichella was less fortunate. Fisichella, 35, and in his thirteenth year in Formula One, was the last driver to finish, and ended the season without a single point...
...United States to send aid. But because this situation is fully entangled in international diplomatic bureaucracy and constrained by the very instable power structures that exist in the region, that simple task is never simple. Without utilizing these traditional channels of bureaucrats, the U.S. could possibly violate the sovereignty claim of the Congolese government.

The Board attempts to understand what happened and to determine if a rule of the faculty was violated. They do not see this as an adversarial relationship, since every student who appears before...
...Your claim that the rulings are clear before the Board convenes is also wrong. There is no opportunity for a ruling to be made before the meeting because members do not meet to discuss a case and do not discuss a case even in the meeting until the student has had a chance to appear and present his or her side of the story. To say that the decision is already made and that a requirement to withdraw is all but automatic is wrong. This can be seen in the statistics of Board decisions. In the last academic year there...
...better sales pitch but also that they are using better technology to attract money and turn out voters. "After 2006," says South Carolina governor Mark Sanford, "we put the same leadership back in place. It's just insane. In the corporate world, you would not do that." If Republicans claim to be the reform party of small government, Sanford says, they must first stop seeing their appropriators convicted of felonies. "You have a lot of members of Congress who are not upholding what this brand is about." (Read "Congressional Races to Watch...
