It's 4 in a million, and not 5 or 6. You don't get that resolution with 1 in 250000. Maybe they're just too lazy to divide by four, but precision might have been a consideration.
Doesn't matter. There's legislation being made to redefine a football field to two square inches so this asteroid will then be too small to have to worry about.
Every lit class I took had the books most guys hated but girls liked, and the occasional book the guys liked but the girls hated. I've generally found the difference is the books either focus on character development or plot. Maybe someone has a better breakdown of what appeals in books, but I would say try to evaluate books on character development and plot. If you have too many books in one category, half the class will hate the course.
Students who don't like the books will almost certainly use the cliff's notes. Some teachers respond to this by writing the tests around the cliffs notes, which just makes those students hate the class more and hate the teacher. While you do have to work around the cliffs notes to properly evaluate the student's understanding, you need to work with them also. In the end if they just don't like the books they probably won't enjoy the class one way or another, so there may be little you can do. I liked maybe three books I had to read in high school, so I've never had an enjoyable lit course. I like reading, so I just hope a teacher can figure out how to stop taking the fun out of it.
Can't business method patents fit into similar arguments? I have never heard an explanation why business method patents are allowed in the first place, so I suppose until I do I can't evaluate how good the reasoning is, but being abstract I see no reason for them to be patentable.
(I realize I could go search for the answer, but I assume more people would be enlightened if someone explains this instead).
(I live in the Chicago suburbs) It's not that I don't want the games or economic reasons. I don't want them for political reasons. Maybe it's the same in Madrid, Tokyo and Rio, but Chicago does a good job of defining how machine politics work. I don't want Mayor Daley to have $Billions in contracts to dole out to friends and political connections. Not to mention he'll get credit for it all which will ensure he remains mayor for life. He's done some good things with his power, but in the end his machine is far too corrupt and I'd hate the power he'd gain far more than I would like having the games right at home.
Instead of making it illegal to text they should just prevent it in the first place. Replace the windshield and all windows with an inch of metal that blocks all cell phone frequencies.
Depends on the distracted driving laws. The article claims texting is more distracting than many other tasks, so it would make sense for it to be a bigger offense than changing the volume of the radio. It's all the same if both distractions make you swerve and hit the car next to you, but given most distracted drivers assume they won't hit anyone, the fine has to be tuned to the risk, and not the results. Otherwise you're just looking at justice and not prevention.
There are many stories of soldiers on both sides of the American civil war putting down their guns on Christmas and socializing, just to go back to killing each other the next day. You don't have to know the person as an individual- if you connect culturally you already know them fairly well without having to talk to him.
It's only nominally a democracy so those 70 million Iranians have little to do with the government's actions. I don't know the relationship between Ahmadinejad and the supreme council but I'm assuming he can't say too much they don't approve of. As for what he said I don't know- I hadn't heard anyone claim otherwise so I had assumed since it is commonly referred to it might be true. I know he's said plenty against Israel but I don't know offhand if he said anything close enough to give the same effect as wishing destruction upon them.
He's still a high-ranking government official, and the spokesman for Iran, so if he says something it has weight to it, even if he doesn't directly have the authority to call an attack on Israel.
As for the misquote now I know not to use that anymore.
The problem isn't hours spent studying so much as motivation. The stereotype for asian students (however accurate) is that they get pushed by their parents close to their academic limit. Contrast with the stereotype for American students being sports-centric and studying just enough to get those C's and D's needed to stay on the team.
Somewhere in between is where we want our average students to be headed. Unfortunately most students see they are neither valedictorian quality or star quarterback material and become disinterested, settling with 'just enough' and getting by with minimal effort.
NCLB seemed to try to address this, but is the wrong answer. More time in school would be a good idea if only we weren't already using so little of the current school hours- a wrong answer. Not sure what the right answer is, but until the average student sees benefit to working hard for those A's the smart kids earn in their sleep, I won't expect our education system's report card to improve.
Considering Iran has said they'd love to wipe Israel off the map, and they are working on the capability to do so, Israel has justification for a strike against Iran's facilities. I don't expect Iran actually intends to nuke Israel unprovoked, but it's kind of like pulling a toy gun on a police officer and expecting him not to shoot you. The cop would be more justified in shooting than Israel has in attacking Iran, but they still have some level of self-defense justification.
NB: I'm leaving analysis to other people, I'm just making an isolated point. I realize I'm overgeneralizing a bit but I'd rather have a short post than consider all the loose ends that you get when using the word "Israel".
So they need to look at teen births only to look for patterns. It would also be a good idea to look at only winter births just to confirm whether the teen births are the ones sticking out like this (probably true but they have the data so no reason to assume anything).
See, that's the problem. You accept this "article reading" DRM attached to the information. If you would just boycott this DRM eventually they will have to give you the information without such restrictive limitations.
I say he should go to jail and keep the house. While in jail he can't lose any more money- in the mean time the house can earn him rent so maybe he can upgrade to a hotel.
The ones finding all the cameras and covering them up are not necessarily the intended target of said cameras. They have value as a deterrent too. The chance of an organized robbery is hopefully small, but any business is likely to have small-time shoplifters and people defacing property. Fail all of that, the cameras should pay for themselves through incentives from the insurance company.
NB: I'm just saying what sounds reasonable to me- I don't claim to know how true my assumptions are.

Why would I want solar-powered shingles? My shingles never needed to be powered in the first place.

Slashdot should hire you and the parent to make similar posts every time a study-related story is posted so people might catch on faster.

They seem to put a kid as being disadvantaged for having a mother that completed high school in fewer years than her peers.

One-time purchase. It's a trap, though- they don't charge you until you close the program.
