...yesterday. “It’s been a problem for a while.”But starting next fall, professors will be allowed to provide up to two other options: either letting the Registrar’s Office administer a version of the exam before its scheduled date, or assigning a substitute exam—say, a take-home paper over December break.Kane said that professors at the meeting “embraced” the new policies. The only objection, he said, came from a faculty member who “felt that the way her final...
...material. Changing finals to before the holiday break would necessitate a drastic shortening of Reading Period, unless the College were also to begin classes in early September instead of mid-September. This fix would have problems of its own, though, too. Both professors and students appreciate the late start date of school because it allows for more travel and reflection during late summer. Ultimately, we like the extra-long study period that holiday break and Reading Period allow for.

...like looking at really busy pages, like Amazon's welcome page, on the Internet Explorer browser. Windows Mobile 5.0 still has some compatibility issues that need to be remedied, and one wonders whether mail and instant messaging software from Yahoo! or AOL will ever be brought up to date.

A helpful resource in this nascent period is the aptly named Windows Mobile 5.0 Fix Site wm5fixsite.com, which tracks everything that's out there, and whether or not you should touch it with a 12-foot pole...
First, the most rigorous study of Teach For America to date indicates that Teach For America teachers have a positive impact on student achievement. Mathematica Policy Research compared the academic gains of students taught by Teach For America corps members with the gains of similar students taught by non-Teach For America teachers in the same schools. It found that corps members’ classes made 10 percent more progress in one year in math than is typically expected and slightly exceeded the normal expectation for progress in reading. In addition, the students of Teach For America corps members achieved...
...bill would require the government to make gradual payments to drug companies based on R&D milestones, similar to the way defense contracting works, and would grant companies a 10-year period of market exclusivity for drugs designated as countermeasures. (Drug-patent terms typically vary depending on the date the application was filed and when the product is actually marketed.) More controversial, the bill would make it virtually impossible for individuals to sue for damages caused by any drug deemed a bioterrorism countermeasure, and BARDA would be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act, keeping its work largely veiled from...
