...napkin project, which has been endorsed by the Office of Sustainability, will supposedly save Winthrop the hundreds of dollars spent each month filling 2-3 dispensers at each table. According to the Winthrop REP, the initiative will be implemented in all the dining halls in the future, but Winthrop is taking the lead...
...news. Perhaps the fact that he was caught in time - and the same week that two other alleged bombing attempts were foiled in Middle America - tells us that post-9/11 security measures, many of them highly controversial, are working.

"Russia has firmly re-established its geopolitical position in the region, so there is almost no prospect of Georgian reunification," he says. Since the cease-fire, Russian troops have effectively sealed the border between South Ossetia and the rest of Georgia, and increased their military presence in both South Ossetia and Abkhazia. But while Moscow has recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent nations, only Nicaragua and Venezuela have followed suit...
