So you stayed up super late playing Doom III, crawled under the covers at 5 a.m., and half an hour later the alarm goes off. Your partner bounds out of bed with the speed of Stupendous Man and the alacrity of Hobbes greeting Calvin when he comes home from school. “Yay!” your partner says. “Morning is here! We can seize the day!” And then you sho

The int'l students I saw had some kind of test results or form or something that came with their application. I didn't pay much attention to that. But yeah, that might vary by school. It's easier for alumni to donate if they don't have to change currency (she says cynically).

Top 10 ways to get into the private college of your choice (1 = most important, etc.)) 10. If nothing else on the list, get near-perfect scores on your SATs 09. Apply to colleges where your familiy members have attended (preferably also colleges where they've not been kicked out, as I learned) 08. Be a valedictorian 07. Be international. Or j

*bookmarks page, titling it "grammar bible hand-out"* Damn, citahellion, this article was only a couple months late for me to print out and take to class for all my students. Oh, and I'm not allowed to use that kind of language with them, though I sure thought it whilst grading. I don't know exactly why some of those are so difficult to understand, but I think I have an idea, though I won't elaborate on my hypotheses here. <img src="../images/

Not true, that usually gets everyone's attention and results in at least 10 comments. Yes, here's #10. I feel this way a lot, though maybe without the "I hate you people" part. Rav

I think I might be close to being a psycopath. I figured there was "no reason" she killed her sister because, perhaps, psycopaths kill for no reason. But come to think of it, they must kill for some reason, i.e. to see the hot guy again. So maybe I'm not so close to being a psycopath. And also a little dumb. And...I'm embarrassed...I thought of an apple, which is clearly NOT a vegetable. -A.

Wow, you're more talented than I am, though I did make a convincing-looking solar eclipse. I just downloaded the bubble one and that's pretty cool too, although IMO the dots one is better.

Yeah, I have issues with being in a swing state. I'm actually a registered libertarian, Gid, so we have that in common. However, one of the candidates is much more attractive to me than the other, and being that I'm in a swing state, I might just vote for him instead of Badnarik. (Having said that, I would love to see national coverage on any of the stations about Badnarik or Nader, just to confirm the rumors that they're actually running.) So

Thanks for posting this. My uncle is over there right now and he tells us about this kind of stuff. We've had soldiers come home and write to the newspaper and ask them why they're not covering this info. You get an insightful for pointing out what other people should be. -A.

Gid, Fortunately for all the children in the world, I probably won't have any, so they won't have to worry about it. Also my parents raised us without believing in any of that (believe me, we discovered that Santa wore whitey-tighties when he filled the stockings and that was traumatic enough!) and I don't recall that we ruined it f

Hmm. I was there when my cousin discovered Santa wasn't real, and the cousin, who is usually well-behaved and just the nicest little guy, was so sad for about two weeks and again the next year at Christmas. Why would you feed your kids a bunch of lies? They're going to find out at school, anyway. I'd much prefer to tell my kids (if I ever have any) that Christmas is about sharing with other people, not about being good and getting presents (a

Paul, IFirst: I'm not sure what the question is regarding law enforcement. Could you expand/clarify it a little? Second: Obviously, I agree that anyone convicted should be identified. Regarding the rest of your post, are you saying the press should categorically not print any names involving rape charges? I'm thinking about this. I like the idea of it, but I'm afraid it's edging in the territory of defining what is and is n

I did my senior comm paper on the freedom of the press and tabloid journalism. The trouble is, again, drawing lines. If you restrict the freedom of the press when it comes to tabloid journalism, then you've set a precedent for further restrictions on that freedom to be interpreted by different courts in different manners. Comm Law is full of cases where a precedent has been set and therefore has to be followed; that's why judges write cases so narrowly
