...suspension this week of an entire Iraqi police brigade of roughly 700 men is the most dramatic step taken so far by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government to deal with its corrupt and inept security forces. But TIME's correspondents in Baghdad, Aparisim Ghosh and Brian Bennett, warn that this may be no more than a fig leaf, designed to shore up al-Maliki's political standing, rather than the start of a substantial cleanup...
...Fortunately for the Quakers, though, they are a vastly superior team to Buddy Teevens’ inept Big Green...
...negative adjectives and metaphors. Indeed, Boll is no stranger to criticism: when his film Alone in the Dark-based on the video game of the same name-came out in 2005, critics called it "overblown, amateurish gibberish," and used it as proof that Boll "belongs in the pantheon of inept directors."

That’s just plain stupid.For a university that has always been damned good at marketing itself to alumni and potential donors, Harvard is astoundingly inept at explaining simple policy changes to its own students.Take as an example the creation of Harvard’s new peer-advising program, of which I am fortunate to be a part. Last year, instead of announcing that the popular, 25-year-old Prefect Program would henceforth be better funded...
