summary of article in one sentence... information following the first sentence goes into the specifics. This article contains importance/ impact (important for travelers, parents, the general population so they know the specific details and airport security is making progress) , helpful/ special interest (it is interesting that right after the tenth anniversary of 9/11 airport security seems to be cutting back.

In the latest edition of Time Magazine, author and Yale law professor Adam Cohen presents an overly simplistic portrayal of New Jersey's new "cyberbullying" law as a "model" for the nation. Cohen's method of analysis, which typifies the reasoning of many state legislators, can be reduced to this: "Bullying is a big problem. This is a tough legal response. Therefore, it is good." Well, maybe. But when even the lobbyists for school administrators are publicly fretting that the schools are being given too much authority (or as they see it, too much responsibility), then you have to wonder whether the train has jumped the rails.

EVERY summer in Chicago, most neighborhoods put on their own street fair, with generally the same mix of homogeneous items: cheap sunglasses, tacky art, deep-fried food and music by local bands. But recently, a new concept - let's call it the curated flea market - has caught on, thanks to the introduction this year of Dose Market by a group of young and intrepid media and style experts.

The studying that middle school and high school students do after the dismissal bell rings is either an unreasonable burden or a crucial activity that needs beefing up. Which is it? Do American students have too much homework or too little?

The most critical missing piece, Randolph explained as we sat in his office last fall, is character - those essential traits of mind and habit that were drilled into him at boarding school in England and that also have deep roots in American history.

Reading Shakespeare is rigorous but rewarding; it is an essential part of our curriculum and every student should be enriched. Although some disagree. They question the relevance and significance of Shakespeare, close-mindedly criticizing his grammar and English, refusing to delve and explore the true meaning of his words. Prepare to be enlightened, Bard-bashers!

ou're ready to vent, so I'll get you started: you say Shakespeare is not English and it's written in a way we no longer speak. I beg to differ; Shakespeare concocted roughly 1,500 words/phrases of the English language that are commonplace today. Who's not familiar with "gloomy", "in a pickle", "breaking the ice", "watchdog", or "heart of gold"?

Hunterdon Central Regional High School's annual Cabaret has seen major changes this year due to budget cuts, but did not fall short of amazing people like it has for over the last 3 decades. Due to this year's budget cuts, Hunterdon Central had to make some significant changes to this year's Cabaret. The show saw multiple cuts which included a decrease in the number of acts, two of the directors were cut, and the Cabaret chorus was not seen at all at this years show. This year's Cabaret was directed only by Mr. Magalio which was one of the things that led to the significantly less amount of acts.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed everything I was doing, my education served no purpose other than meeting the standards of the 'system.' Soon enough, I yearned for a deeper meaning, a more useful application to what I was learning.

Throughout my four years at Central, I have heard these words countless times, resonating with anger and defiance in the hallways. Despite the handful of students who go to class each day with a smile and desire to learn, the overwhelming response is clear: students find little value in the education they receive each day.
