...School A vs. School B may not have varied much. But how School A's engineering students judged those programs may be radically different from how School A's business students do. That finding underscores why using one single number to gauge an entire school is an ineffective tool at best for predicting what an undergraduate experience will be like. "Even high-performing institutions as measured by average benchmark scores have work to do to improve the experience of all students," says Alex McCormick, NSSE's director and a professor of education at Indiana University.

...coal plants will require that Best Available Control Technology (BACT) be used to reduce CO2 emissions, the same criteria currently used for other pollutants, like sulfur dioxide or soot. BACT requires companies involved in power plants to use the best available technology to control pollutants - it's a tool to keep pollution controls up to date as both safety technology and our understanding of pollution impoves. In the past, CO2 wasn't affected by BACT because the EPA didn't recognize it as a pollutant. This decision changes that...

By researching different programs and working with a team of volunteers, youngsters can gain valuable perspective on how the rest of the world lives and how better to prioritize their own "give-save-spend ratio," says Willis. Helping others is a powerful tool for teaching children about sacrifice and detachment from material things, she says...

The following two years were spent painstakingly analyzing the remains found within. Pieces of jewelry, ornamental seashells, or the odd tool have been found in other Natufian graves, but the careful arrangement of the woman's body - her back rested against a wall, legs spread and bent inward from the knee - as well as the surrounding ring of tortoise shells piqued the archaeologists' interest. "This kind of assemblage is different from...
