...contrast, the union had its worst round of talks with the University in 1992, according to Jaeger. The contract renegotiation—which became deadlocked over issues of employee compensation and benefits and required the intervention of an outside mediator—was not resolved until January of the following year...
...contrast, the civilian government has been more open. "They have made the offer, and some of our law-enforcement agencies are receiving training from the Americans," Interior Minister Rehman Malik tells TIME. Still, Malik says, "we need all sorts of capacity-building equipment, the list is long." Some leading analysts argue that the U.S. has focused too narrowly on the army to the neglect of the police's counterterrorism abilities - which could prove crucial in thwarting bombings, like the one that struck a crowded marketplace in Kohat on Sept. 18, killing...
...lifetime experience that can “distinguish and advance one’s legal career.” According to the rankings, 41.4 percent of 2007 Yale Law School graduates were employed in judicial clerkships, with 37.0 percent of the class clerking in Article III courts.

Law schools are often judged on the basis of how many of their graduates clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justices, though they are not formally ranked on this...

Suspenseful music, by contrast, delivers no thrilling action, and thus becomes such a frustrating aspect of the movie that by the end there is no uncertainty—however fleeting—of what comes next. Both “Sorority Row” and Theta Pi eventually go down in flames...
Raptorex's mouth, by contrast, was most likely a primary weapon - like that of its distant descendant Tyrannosaurus. But that alone wasn't enough of an advantage to let it evolve into the predator that would ultimately dominate North America and Asia. That probably didn't happen until larger predatory dinosaurs went extinct for other reasons, say the scientists, allowing Raptorex-like creatures to begin growing. Once they started to get into the league of the big predators, though, where speed and bone-crushing jaw strength would let them range farther and crunch the bones of the biggest prey, there...
