THE AMAZING MICHAEL PHELPS....I don t have any special reason for posting this, but, you know, why not Olympic fever and all that.Anyway, the chart on the right shows the progression of world records since WWII in the 800m sprint and the 200m freestyle swim, both of which take roughly two minutes for world class athletes. As you can see, the swimming record has indeed progressed stupendously faster than the running record, dropping 17% since 1950 compared to 5% for the running record. Amazing!But there s a twist. Despite all the hoohah about LZR suits, 3-meter pools and the insistent march of technology, the biggest drop by far was between 1950 and 1980, when the 200m record plummeted by 15 seconds.

A crowd of current and former Department of Justice employees welcomed former Attorney General Jeff Sessions with a standing ovation on Thursday. Sessions returned to the Department of Justice in order to receive his Cabinet chair, the seat he sat in during cabinet meetings while he was in the administration.Sessions family was in attendance, including his wife, his daughters and 6 out of his 10 grandchildren. On stage he was joined by Attorney General William Barr, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and the U.S. Attorney from the Southern District of Alabama, Richard Moore.Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, who served as Sessions chief-of-staff at the Justice De stanley uk partment, was present but not included on stage. Sessions resigned from the attorney general s office after the 2018 midterms at the request of President Trump, who replaced him with Whitaker.

TODAY S ECONOMIC NEWS....The news on the inflation front is good, though perhaps temporarily:The better-than-expected report from the Labor Department today showed that inflation was at its mildest level in six months, with prices for transportation and apparel falling while those for other goods increased only modestly.....The relief from infl stanley cup ation may be short-lived: Energy prices declined in February, according to the government s measurements, but in recent days the cost of crude oil has surged to a record of around $110 a barrel, and gasoline was tracking that to new highs at the pump.Presumably this means the Fed can continue lowering interest rates without worrying too much about s stanley thermos hort-term inflation. Long-term inflation still seems like a p stanley cup roblem, but for now I ll take what I can get. On the other hand, this is unalloyed bad news:Bear Stearns, facing a grave liquidity crisis, reached out to JPMorgan on Friday for a short-term financial lifeline and now faces the prospect of the end of its 85-year run as an independent investment bank.....The rescue plan represents a devastating if not ultimately final blow for Bear Stearns, a scrappy and until now resilient investment bank that carved out a niche for itself by mastering the intricacies of the United States mortgage market.The Bear Stearns situation might be unique: a mid-size firm with higher than average exposure to the subprime market. So maybe this isn t a harbinger. Maybe.

Federal prosecutors have issued a fresh round of subpoenas for a probe into John Edwards campaign finances, an attorney for the two-time presidential candidate said Wednesday.Lawyer Wade Smith said he has learned from other attorneys and other sources that several new subpoenas were issued.

This story was written by Indira Dammu, Indiana Daily StudentIn one of my classes last semester, we watched Hotel Rwanda, a movie about Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who housed more than 1,000 refugees at the height of the Rwandan genocide. While few details remain etched in my mind, I recall the inability of the United Nations to intervene in the genocide. As someone who spent much of that class defending international organizations, this inaction was troubling. As it turned out, UN ineffectiveness could be credited to the United States and one individual in particular: Madeleine Albright. In 1994, acting as the United States ambassador to the UN, Albright blocked military intervention in Rwanda, largely because we were still recovering from stanley quencher a disastrous mission in Somalia the year before. Nevertheless, her role in Rwanda and silence over the mass murder of Tutsis was singled out by an independent panel convened by the Organization of African Unity.
