...unsurprising that Harvard has chosen not to make an exception in its exam schedules for Inauguration Day. Few University holidays currently mar the efficient academic calendar, and Harvard has remained stalwart in its opposition to the celebration of Patriots Day--a shameful practice for a school that calls Massachusetts home. Yet no matter how busy the students, professors and administrators of Harvard may be, if the University can spare a day every February to remember the great presidents of the past, it can take time once every four years to celebrate the potential of the next administration, to listen...
...girl savings, I'd better hit the streets now. By the end of January, footwear options will be limited. Mind you, I don't actually need a pair of boots, but shortly after the New Year's ball in Times Square drops I plan the new year's shopping calendar. Especially in a quasi-economic slowdown, shoppers target seasonal and end-of-season sales.

While no final votes will be taken before then, temporary Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy plans to open hearings on Ashcroft and may even call as a witness Ronnie White, the African-American judicial nominee whose candidacy Ashcroft famously torpedoed in 1999. White, the first black member of the Missouri Supreme Court, was Bill Clinton's choice for a federal district court seat...
...school calendar is seen by many as a quaint holdover from the agrarian economy when students needed weekends and summers off to help till the family farm. And it's a distinctly American phenomenon. While most American students spend their late afternoons and weekends doing nothing in particular, students in other nations simply devote more days to schoolwork. Italian and Korean children have more than 200 school days; Chinese kids have 250 - and, unsurprisingly, many tend to outscore their American peers. Add that to the growing research showing that during those long summer vacations, when memories fade and learning...
