Journalism Inflation

The Times says law schools are inflating grades.
One day next month every student at Loyola Law School Los Angeles will awake to a higher grade point average.

But it’s not because they are all working harder.

The school is retroactively inflating its grades, tacking on 0.333 to every grade recorded in the last few years. The goal is to make its students look more attractive in a competitive job market.
Leave it to others to clarify the issue:
Despite all of these, the most controversial issue which attracts much attention is the sudden, intentional and dubiously grade inflation which is very effective. This has already been going on even before the decrease in legal job in the market.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to be obtuse, but I really don't know what this means.

"Almost Unmistakably Timely" is a construct that is highly resistant to being parsed...

Wait, so, are law schools as ridiculous in their schooliness as colleges?

One of my favorite things about academic institution is how horrible they are, and yet how often they are attacked along the dumest lines imaginable.

There has already been mixed reactions coming from Universal Music group, Interscope Label. The most positive was London’s Evening Standard saying that Eminem is on top of the game with only himself as his only competition. But even against himself, he still wins.

There are three sexual symptoms linked to someone who has poor testosterone level. These are: having a bad morning erection, small amount of sexual desire and erectile dysfunction. Other symptoms, which were also linked to menopausal, were depression, fatigue and not being able to perform sexual activities properly.

Define "properly" Mr. All One Guy.

Preconceivably they are paid a bonuses for every adverb they irrefrangibly use.

Indeed. The goat is not complaining.

a bad morning erection

Who got off on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

There is money invested in this?

Even for Australians it's odd.

having a bad morning erection

Bad as in too erect, or not erect enough?
