...course, tell you how that works out. I can perhaps hint that there are some wonderful ironies in the last reel. I can certainly say that if this movie cannot match the high moral sentiments of, say, Schindler's List , it is, on its much smaller scale, a very good movie, which like Spielberg's masterpiece, offers us a shifty central figure, whose much less certain redemption is fascinating to observe. The Counterfeiters leaves us pondering this question: When government itself becomes fully criminalized, does our hope of surviving its depredations depend not on brave acts of resistance...
...That study involved people who were already going to a clinic for sleep problems," says Boden-Albala, "[Our study is] an off-the-street, community-based, prospective cohort study. But one of the limitations of [our sleepiness scale] is that we're not really able to differentiate what type of sleep disturbances these people were having." While the scale indicates that people are sleepy during the day and therefore not resting well at night, it doesn't say why. In terms of stroke and other vascular risks, says Boden-Albala, "The question really is, Is it sleep apnea...
Arnold's insane-looking contraptions are mostly an attempt to remedy simple engineering inefficiencies we've come to accept. Why shouldn't we have foot pedals on our kitchen sinks so our dirty hands don't touch the fixtures?

...between $60,000 and $100,000 will be $15,683 for both student contribution and room and board. Under the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative, undergraduates whose families earn between $60,000 and $120,000 will contribute between zero and 10 percent of their annual income based on a sliding scale. Students whose families make between $120,000 and $180,000 will pay only 10 percent of their annual income, Harvard announced in December. Stanford’s expansion of financial aid will cost the university an additional $20.7 million, bringing their total cost of need-based scholarship to $97.2 million...
...Although Kosovo's declaration of independence has been expected for months, the scale of the response - both among Serbs and by foreign governments opposed to the decision - has surprised many. It is not clear how long the protests will be sustained, but for many Kosovo Albanians, as well as U.N., EU and NATO officials in the territory, it has gone on long enough...
