The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Publisher Rejects Soph’s Apology

The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Publisher Rejects Soph’s Apology

The thing that's more shocking than a 19 y.o. student cheating these days, is how brazenly she went about it. Knowing that she lifted so much from another's work, how could she not know that someone would recognize it? How did she get into Harvard if she's so stupid as to think people will actually believe her lame excuse that McCafferty's work was in her subconcious and simply spilled out onto her own work. She's not very bright, she's certainly cheated and got away with it many times before to think that she could get away with this, she should be quickly kicked out of Harvard, and she should be investigated for other acts of cheating in the past so that other colleges aren't duped by a cheat-gpa or other lies. What a disgrace.

States Help Schools Hide Minority Scores - Yahoo! News

States Help Schools Hide Minority Scores - Yahoo! News: "'I can't believe that my child is going through testing just like the person sitting next to him or her and she's not being counted,' said Angela Smith, a single mother. Her daughter, Shunta' Winston, was among two dozen black students whose test scores weren't broken out by race at her suburban Kansas City, Mo., high school."

Dear Ms. Smith, your daughter is a "her." So the next time you talk of someone sitting next to your daughter, you can say that they are sitting next to "her" and not "him or her" because that makes it sound like you're not sure of your daughter's gender. Geez.

Fan tosses syringe near Bonds

Fan tosses syringe near Bonds: "Fan tosses syringe near Bonds

(AP) - SAN DIEGO-A fan tossed a syringe near Barry Bonds as he came off the field in between innings on Monday at Petco Park, and the San Francisco Giants slugger said he picked it up in his glove and carried it off the field.

The syringe apparently did not have a needle.

'I just put it off the field so no one would get hurt,' said Bonds, who is under investigation by Major League Baseball for alleged steroid use.

The syringe toss occurred after the bottom of the eighth inning of the San Diego Padres' 6-1 win over the Giants.

'If that's what they want to do, embarrass themselves, then that's on them,' Bonds said. 'That has nothing to do with me at all.'

According to the book 'Game of Shadows,' written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters, Bonds used a vast array of performance-enhancing drugs, including steroids and human growth hormone, for at least five seasons beginning in 1998. According to the book, Bonds used several substances in various forms, including by injecting himself with a syringe and taking injections from his personal trainer.

Bonds, who has denied using performance-enhancing drugs, was booed often by the sellout crowd of 43,767 on Monday.

'I don't judge them,' Bonds said. 'I have to concentrate on baseball. I leave that up to you guys to make those statements in the paper.'"
