...students looking for personalized, one-on-one career counsel in July, the Office of Career Services may not be the place to go. Amid sweeping budget cuts across the University, OCS is considering the option of slicing operation costs by cutting one-on-one advising for the month of July, according to Interim Director Robin E. Mount. In early April, the University will assess the expected figures for next year’s budget based on the number of eligible staffers that have accepted the retirement incentive package. Eligible employees are those over 55 years of age who will...

He is also attempting to get about 800 absentee ballots tossed into the final tally, most of which are from counties...
...North's most provocative act since it tested a nuke in the autumn of 2006. Bosworth and, earlier, his boss, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have already beseeched the Chinese to intervene with the North, and diplomats in Seoul say that Beijing has done so. If Pyongyang ignores that counsel, says Victor Cha, former director of Asian affairs on President Geroge W. Bush's National Security Council, the Obama Administration will face two key choices: go to the United Nations to seek broad international sanctions against Pyongyang or reimpose the U.S.'s own financial sanctions, which infuriated the North...
