...shortage of university-educated instructors means that the higher grades suffer the most. Najeeba Behbood, 26, an 11th-grader at Karokh High School, was lucky to land in a chemistry class taught by a former college professor. Even then, the course was pure theory: with no laboratory, the teacher had to make rough drawings on the blackboard to demonstrate the use of cathodes and anodes in producing electricity. But Behbood is happy to be in the class at all--it was a struggle persuading her parents to permit her to attend, because the professor was male...
...went home with Michael the night we met, and figuratively speaking, I didn't leave again for those 7 1?2 years. The breakup sucked, the more so because it was no one's fault. Our relationship had begun to suffer the inanition of many marriages at seven years. (The seven-year itch isn't a myth; the U.S. Census Bureau says the median duration of first marriages that end in divorce is 7.9 years.) Michael and I loved each other, but slowly--almost imperceptibly at first--we began to realize we were no longer in love. We were intimate...

And if tracks were up for bid, firms that performed poorly could be replaced when their contracts expired...
...veterans of the Iraqi and Afghanistan wars, the suit says, at least 15% suffer from PTSD, an emotional illness characterized by nightmares, memory loss and irritability. The VA's failure to provide treatment - only 27 of the nation's 1,400 VA hospitals have programs dedicated to PTSD - has led to an "epidemic of suicides" by returning troops, said Paul Sullivan of Veterans for Common Sense, the lead plaintiff group...
...sort of work in the same vein, Tom, Tilda, myself, we're of the ilk that says, learn your lines, hit your mark and say your lines. There isn't a lot of making a whole lot of making everyone on the set suffer through it. I really appreciate that on a film like this. We shot it very cheap and we didn't have a lot of time. There was no time to screw around...
