...Weintraub includes a plea for parents to check their college anxieties at the door. "Their kids are just transitioning into high school," he says. "They're going to be exposed to drugs, sex, lots of changes. Can we just deal with the developmental issues first?" By the time they enter the college hunt, many kids have been conditioned to treat the process more as a race than a romance, a test of who comes in first, not what will make them happy. "You ask students what they want," says Rachel Petrella, a counselor at California's La Jolla Country...
...have invented the first coin-operated vending machine to sell holy water. The modern precursor of today's machines surfaced in 1880s London, dispensing postcards.

"The studies so far, with most of the ARV products, suggest very low levels of systemic absorption," she says. "It may be that there is insufficient absorption...
...Anyone who purchased a Dell laptop in the last two years can do the same at www.dellbatteryprogram.com. You will be prompted to enter the product number written on the inside of the battery. McArdle entered his and saw a green check mark indicating his battery had been one of those recalled. He entered his mailing address, phone number and e-mail address, and was issued a shipping order for his free replacement. He was miffed, however, to find out it would take 20 business days for the delivery. In the meantime, the college English professor from Fort Wayne, Ind., will...
