...high-tech companies have started to fight back. Industry lobbyists have been working with Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and other lawmakers to make it much harder to win lawsuits for injuries caused by Y2K glitches. Bills currently working their way through Congress would raise the burden of proof above the standard that plaintiffs must meet in other lawsuits--that their version of events is more likely true than not. And they would impose caps on punitive damages and attorneys' fees...
...SALMON LIFE CYCLE: As salmon move through their cycle of birth, maturation, reproduction and death, they migrate through a variety of ecosystems where they are vulnerable almost every step of the way. The eggs A hatch in shallow streams, releasing larvae, or alevins B, which within a few months become juvenile fish called parr. Parr, in turn, grow into 8-in. smolts C in about two years, and it is these small, silvery fish that make the improbable migration from freshwater river to saltwater ocean. Smolts that survive the trip--and plenty don't--spend four years at sea, feeding...
...Some students form joint concentrations between related fields, such as Computer Science and Mathematics. (This is a combination particularly appropriate for students interested, as I happen to be, in foundational or theoretical issues in computer science.) But joint concentrations are not meant as an escape hatch for students simply unable to make up their minds between unrelated alternatives. There are no joint concentrators in Astrology and Music, though there are Astrology concentrators who pursue their musical interests, both curricularly and extracurricularly, at a very high level...

...struggle over patent extension is where Mylan has assumed the role of crusader for lower-cost drugs. Last year the company helped found a lobbying group called the Campaign for Fair Pharmaceutical Competition. The group is currently pushing to eliminate sections of the Waxman-Hatch Act, a landmark 1984 law designed to promote drug competition. One target: a provision that prevents the FDA from reviewing generic-drug applications for 30 months if the patent holder sues...
