...avoid having to fire employees in order to cut costs. Instead, department chairs were notified earlier this week that non-union salaries will be frozen and most searches for tenure-track and tenured faculty will be put on hold. While the salary freeze may be unfortunate, it is a fair and logical step given the dire economic situation and the need to cut about $100 million from the FAS operating budget.

...hating on Nirvana. Great job, Uncle Muscles. 3. “Gump”—Parody of “Lump” by The Presidents of the United States of America The Presidents are such an inconsequential band that it’s probably not fair to call them out, but let’s put it this way: “Forrest Gump” was released in 1994, and “Lump” was recorded in 1995.

"No one knows what will happen next with the financial crisis," Kazakov says. "Everyone is waiting to see." His wife...
...Millionaire Fair late last month, even the glare off the hood of a $250,000 Wiesmann MF4 supercar could not blind a visitor to the fact that there was far less interest on both sides of the cash register. A glitzy show designed to part Russia's well-to-do from their cash, the fair is usually spread out through three halls in Moscow's Crocus Expo center - this year it took up only two. With fewer vendors and wider aisles between the stands, the small number of visitors seemed even more sparse. "There are much fewer people this year...
