Students who face disciplinary action may request that the SFJB hear their case. If the Ad Board does not object, the case will automatically be heard by the SFJB. If it does object, the SFJB will still decide the case unless a majority of its members vote not to decide the case...
...Even the holy grail of optics, invisibility, was nearly achieved this summer by researchers at University of California at Berkeley. Beforehand, scientists had only been able to bend longer waves, like radiowaves, around objects. The Berkeley team was able to engineer superior “metamaterials,” made from a fishnet-like lattice of metals, which could bend visible light around an object with little noticeable disruption. The process is still expensive, but the strategic benefits to the Army, which provided the funding, are obvious...
...into a cost of $1,500 to $3,000 for each employee who earns $50,000. For those who are single and earn more than $100,000, matching 401(k) contributions can cost a company $6,000, as much as health insurance might.

It is also a masterpiece, and its publication in English translation by Farrar, Straus & Giroux on Nov. 11 is the most electrifying literary event of the year. With 2666, Bolao's posthumous conquest of America is complete...
...Guard might object, but for young people - and they are legion, with 70% of the population under the age of 35 - the film is a big draw. "Why shouldn't this man, who transformed an entire country, enjoy raki, like dancing, miss his mother or not like sleeping in the dark?" asks pop singer Nil Karaibrahimgil. "Do these [facts] change what he did or diminish it? Being introduced to Mustafa made Atatürk even more of a hero in my eyes." Some 800,000 people have seen Mustafa so far - more than the latest James Bond movie - proving perhaps...
