It involves us each to tell the others about a high point, a low point, and a new experience we’ve each had in our day.

Art: the improving upon an established technique
"Do you know what policy is?"
So while I don’t post too much about my daily life on this blog I was in a situation today that seemed blog worthy to me because it gives just a small taste of how some private schools, such as NU, might treat alums in reality.

NDAA Further Reading →
“Many legal experts consider the NDAA a congressional codification of war powers the Bush and Obama administrations have claimed they already possess. David Glazier, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and expert on the law of war, argues that Obama already had the power to transfer suspected Al Qaeda members (even Americans) to foreign custody, and the NDAA simply endorses that...
