...presenting teaching fellow Michael L. Dougan one of the Joseph R. Levenson Memorial Teaching Awards last night, Ashish Agrawal ’08, told a story of Dougan’s dedication to his students: two days before his wife’s due date, the molecular and cellular biology TF held a review session.

Unlike other navigation devices, which rely on FM frequencies to receive updates, but can't communicate their own location, the Dash Express has both Wi-Fi and a cellular modem built in. Yet even the Dash Express can't be remotely located using this technology. "We are not technically capable of tracking exactly where a device is," says Mark Williamson, Dash's director of marketing, who adds that the device was purposefully designed that way to protect consumer privacy...
...some cases, McCain's intervention on causes that favored donors appeared to be exceptional. Consider the committee meeting that McCain led on June 23, 1999. The topic of the day was a proposal to require access to 911 emergency services for cellular phones. But McCain scrambled the script with just a few hours' notice.
