...week Reinharz sent a letter to Brandeis students and faculty to apologize for his confusing mishandling of the whole affair. "The statements [from the university ]gave the misleading impression that we were selling the entire collection immediately," he wrote, "which is not true. The University may have the option, subject to applicable legal requirements and procedures, to sell some artworks if necessary, but I assure you that other options will also be considered." In his letter Reinharz also said that "the museum will remain open," but as an arts study center, "more fully integrated into the university's central educational...
...Republican governor of Hawaii, where the teachers' union agreed in 2007 to negotiate terms of a new drug-testing program in exchange for higher wages. Now some Hawaii teachers are resisting. (So far, no drug tests have been administered.) The contentious issue of teacher testing has also become the subject of recent court cases in North Carolina and West Virginia, where educators argue that the cost and time taken by random tests would be better spent in the classroom.

Probably not. No studies I found have looked at the specific issue of whether random drug tests affect substance use among teachers.

The authors theorize that drug-using kids may think that prescription and other drugs are harder...

Her mother has indicated that the preemies are the result of IVF treatment, a confounding thought from both a parent's perspective--Suleman already has six children under the age of 8--and a physician's. In June, just about the time those eight babies began growing inside her womb, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) issued updated guidelines on the number of embryos that should be transferred to a woman's body in the hope they'll implant in the uterus and lead...
...Oscillating between the creative controls of the respective halves of its founding duo, David “Avey Tare” Portner and Noah “Panda Bear” Lennox, the band matured from a cabal of electronic-noise anarchists into fully-fledged experimental-pop pioneers. The subject matter of their songs tended usually (and, in light of lyrical choice, thankfully) toward the uncertain, but generally shared a thematic convergence of childlike awe, exuberance, and ecstatic joy propelled by a fascination with dynamic tension that can only rightly be called explosive.Then in 2007, the nascent cult around...
