The requirements for accessing the Internet are minimal: having a device capable of viewing the information and a service to provide you access to the World Wide Web (an ISP-Internet service provider). The world's knowledge is essentially at your fingertips - theoretically, at least.

The news this summer was filled with many items of import: new healthcare plans, Congressional bailouts and former President Clinton's rescue of two captured journalists. There was one more major national event which didn't quite seem to receive the attention it deserved: the Congressional hearings for President Obama's nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to replace retiring Justice David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Every era has its milestones, and the tenure of the President of the United States is no exception.

As the election is coming closer and closer, those of us who are still undecided voters are looking for some final decisive action by either of the candidates to persuade us to vote for one over the other.

It's been six weeks since Hopkins started its 2008-2009 school year, and the freshman class of 2012 has finally settled in to the routines of college life. With midterms and papers coming full force, we're too busy to pay much attention to the small things; things which once made all the difference in the world.
