...other news, Christie??€™s auction house in New York has pulled from its upcoming auction a human skull that previously had been used as a ballot box for Yale’s famously secretive Skull and Bones society. Apparently, there was a title claim issue. Either that or someone finally woke up and realized that no one would pay $10,000-$20,000 for a nasty piece of human remains...

Twelve percent of students in Baltimore schools were suspended during the 2006-2007 school year, and 40 percent of high-school freshmen in Milwaukee faced suspensions over the same period. Blanket applications of zero-tolerance policies and the suspensions or expulsions associated with them are keeping too many kids out of school unnecessarily. Administrators need to be constantly vigilant about how they apply these policies and discipline students—otherwise, safety in the educational environment will come...
