...those of you who spent last year in high school or under a rock, Matthew M. DiPasquale ’09 tried to rectify this, venturing out naked on the Weeks Footbridge with only a self-timed camera (or an incredibly, incredibly intrepid photographer) and a desire to deliver the pale nakeds to the masses, artsy HBomb be damned. I loved the ensuing magazine, if only for his hilarious self-interview and his AP test score boasts, for me two porno must-haves...
...blank analogies (e.g., blue:sky::____:grass). The test grew and by 1930 assumed its now familiar form, with separate verbal and math tests. By the end of World War II, the test was accepted by enough universities that it became a standard rite of passage for college-bound high school seniors. It remained largely unchanged (save the occasional tweak) until 2005, when the analogies were done away with and a writing section was added. (That section is graded separately from the verbal test, boosting the elusive perfect SAT score from 1600 to 2400.) (See more about the SAT revisions...
...took the U.S. history AP test last year, the most popular subject test offered. There's also the PSAT, taken in the junior year as preparation for the full-blown SAT and as an assessment for the coveted National Merit Scholarships.

However, the UNHCR has condemned the procedure. On Nov. 26, in comments on an ongoing case before Israel's high court, UNHCR said that Egypt is not safe for asylum seekers. It mentions the regular imprisonment by Egypt of asylum seekers; "numerous" reports that Egypt deports some asylum seekers back to their home countries in breach of international law; and the "disturbing" shootings at asylum seekers, as reasons for Israel...
...even as the Israelis focus on the perceived threat from Iran, time is rapidly running out for a two-state solution to the conflict with the Palestinians. Frustrations are running high among Palestinians, who have watched two decades of negotiation with the Israelis bring them no closer to statehood. A latticework of Israeli security zones and settlements makes nonsense of the territorial integrity of the West Bank, while a ring of Israeli-controlled space is forming around East Jerusalem, without control of which no Palestinian or Arab leader will be able to accept any peace agreement. Not surprisingly, then, Palestinian...
