...demonstrates how out of touch with student interests the Ad Board is. Unfortunately, the sole avenue for feedback—the required letter of reflection that the Ad Board evaluates prior to reinstating a student’s registration—sheds little light. Quite predictably, students pleading to return to school have little incentive to be honest or forthright about the pitfalls of time off.

...which will launch later this year, will conduct the most comprehensive surveys of the moon the U.S. has ever attempted, using cameras that can spot an object as small as a football. The mission will help scout for landing sites, as NASA is holding fast to its plans to return astronauts to the moon by 2020. LRO will also hunt for signs of water ice on the moon, as well as help study the irregular lunar gravity field, caused by dense concentrations of mass beneath the surface--the geological equivalent of lumps in oatmeal. Most dramatically, it will collect detailed...

...spite of my open approach of maximum concessions, the Chinese position becomes even harder and harder." The violence that broke out recently was a harrowing reminder of the fact that 98% of Tibetans have no access to their leader and are denied the most basic of freedoms. And in return for talking of interdependence and the need to stop even thinking in terms of enemies, the Dalai Lama is known in Beijing as a "splittist" and the "enemy of the Tibetan people...
