...else in the world. The going rate for a skilled computer system architect in India, for example, is about $50,000 per year, compared to $160,000 for the same job in Britain, according to consulting firm Forrester Research. For all that, there are no reliable statistics about the extent of offshoring. A report last month by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) said that while outsourcing business services is becoming a significant trend, most of it takes place domestically; only 1-2% is done internationally.

...seemed the film would be about the intricacies of the human mind, the ways in which memory can edit itself to protect us, how it can warp our perception of our lives to the extent that what is true for one person is considered delusional by those around her. The Forgotten teased me with echoes of Memento and The Sixth Sense and stirrings of Conspiracy Theory, with all the necessary ingredients for a philosophically sound, psychologically wrenching treatment of the division between reality and our experience of it.

By November, Carol Marin and her hardcore local news posse were toast. Their attempt at de-sensationalizing local news had only revealed the extent to which Americans (or at least Chicagoans) had become accustomed to the current sorry, sensationalized state of news in America...
With the departure of former Fletcher University Professor Cornel R. West ’74 and former Carswell Professor of Philosophy K. Anthony Appiah still fresh in the memory of many, these recent events have renewed concerns in some quarters about the extent of Harvard’s actual and perceived commitment to African and African-American studies. The latest losses could send the wrong message and raise doubts about Harvard among potential faculty...
