...illegal for U.S. citizens and residents because of the U.S. embargo on trade with Cuba,” says the Web site for the Office of International Programs (OIP). Study in Cuba has recently become more difficult because of new regulations that make it trickier for Harvard to obtain licenses from the Office of Foreign Assets Control. The new rules, says Lorena G. Barberia, an OIP program associate, “mean substantially less licenses.” In 2003, Barberia says, the U.S. government issued 181 licenses for study programs nationwide; in 2005, they offered fewer than 70.

...immediate aftermath of the revelations of the Hewlett-Packard spying scandal, outraged legislators on Capitol Hill promised to do something about the evils of pretexting - the shady practice of impersonating someone to obtain that individual's personal information that was at the center of the company's efforts to eavesdrop on journalists and board members. For the moment, however, it appears that all the tough talk, as is so often the case in Washington, will remain just talk. This year states have passed laws of varying strength banning the practice - California recently became the 15th one, although the bill...
Those findings--and aggressive lobbying by auto-safety advocates--have helped push 45 states to adopt some form of graduated driver licensing, or GDL, which lengthens the waiting period before teens can obtain a full "go anywhere, anytime" driver's license. Slowing down the process has slowed down the accident rate.

The state's late-night crashes were down 27%, and crashes with teen passengers were down...
...will be employed temporarily in a specialty occupation,” according to the USCIS website. An H1-B holder can remain in the country for six years. But the number of such visas issued annually is currently capped at 65,000. Harvard students who fail to obtain an H-1B visa can still work in the U.S. for up to 12 months under a program called Optional Practical Training (OPT). But students staying in the U.S. under that program can only seek jobs connected to their field of study.That’s not the only drawback...
...concept of the digitized library catalog through his vision to outmode traditional paradigms of searching such as HOLLIS and WorldCat. This vision culminated in the birth of the Google Print Library project (since renamed the Google Book Search project), which in its culmination will not only enable users to obtain the customary title, author, publisher, or ISBN of a book by simple query, but also allow them to search within the content of all scanned volumes for keywords, sometimes returning even full passages from the text in question. The intended goal is to eventually make all public-domain works available...
