...York discovered that its most vulnerable ninth-graders--the weak readers--were much more likely to stay on track toward graduation at the city's newer and smaller high schools than at its large conventional ones. "A big aha," says Hamilton, "is that a single strategy was not going to work. You need a portfolio of strategies." In the wake of the report, the city has examined what the best transfer schools, YABCs and GED programs were doing right and is trying to replicate them citywide...
...EMGs and NCVs (electrical nerve tests) could have been justified as well considering the weakness - or what seemed like weakness - of Tim's calf muscle. These rather unpleasant examinations measure the electrical activity in nerve and muscle. The torn calf muscle would hurt to use and so would appear weak. And its reflex would be inhibited by the pain and swelling, further implicating a nerve issue. Certainly one could justify these tests as well by the findings on Tim's exam. Right...

The movie suffers from a few weak elements that will take viewers out of the moment. Lots of the computer generated effects appear inexcusably fake. Sandman looks completely false and though Venom can be terrifying, he sometimes falls flat—instead of striking dread into our hearts, you kind of smile at his goofiness. There will also...
...final questions should be second-nature to Kerry, a long-time member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.Like advertised, the Kerrys’ book is a fine complement to the work of Gore: it provides a broader discussion of environmental issues and makes a stab at solutions, albeit a weak one. Had the Kerrys done as systematic, intellectually rigorous a job on solutions as they did on problems, they would have created a book with a serious roadmap for where the U.S., and the world, need to go. And that, unlike the book they produced, would have been a real...
Administration claims that Iran has been supplying arms to Iraq's Sunni insurgency have never made any sense. Coming soon after Washington initially accused Tehran of arming Shi'ite militias, they have seemed like a weak attempt to remake its case tying the country to attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq - the vast majority of which are carried out by Sunni, not Shi'a, forces...
