    Many of the 8% of schools [i.e. the 8% of schools that got a grant from the fundation] did not succeed: Their test scores were actually lower than the average scores of schools in their school district, and their college-attending rates climbed painfully slowly, up only 2.5 percentage points over five years.

Tagged PDF files also work better with the screen-reader devices used by many blind and other disabled users. In most cases, tags are necessary in order to make a PDF file comply with Section 508.

    when you actually look at what happens when you add a lot of surveillance, it doesn't make it any easier to find the needles; it just makes the haystack bigger. On September 11 American intelligence agencies knew everything they needed to know to prevent the attack, they just didn't know they knew it.
