...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...
Moreover, both candidates have done about-faces in strategy and rhetoric. When Franken was behind in the recount, his counsel argued that they wanted every legally cast ballot counted. But with Franken in the lead, they have taken a decidedly less sweeping position. When Coleman had the slim lead immediately after the election, he declared that if he were Franken, he "would step back" and concede defeat for the good of Minnesota. And during the recount, Coleman's lawyers vehemently argued against the inclusion of the same absentee ballots upon which Coleman's case now relies...

On Friday, the panel heard arguments about a request from Franken to dismiss the case altogether because, they argued, Coleman failed to prove that there were enough improperly rejected ballots to close Franken's 225-vote margin. The court is expected to rule on that motion soon. In the meantime, Franken's team has been trying to prove that flaws in the state's election system were the exception, not the rule. 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...
