The U.S. News & World Report annual ranking of U.S. law schools has become the legal academy's favorite punching bag. Every year, about this time, folks start criticizing the survey's methodologies, reiterating how easy it is for schools to game the system. (At the same time, few can question the survey's importance.) In recent years, one method some schools used to boost the average test scores of their students was to cut the number of full-time students and add more part-time students. (Click here for a 2008 WSJ story by Amir Efrati, touching on this phenomenon.) Click for a different, perhaps more fundamental critique of the survey over at the Concurring Opinions blog.

A borough six miles west of Pittsburgh, Carnegie (Car-NAY-gie) came into being in 1894, when two boroughs merged. In a clever act of solicitation, the new locality named itself after steel magnate Andrew Carnegie in exchange for his agreeing to endow a high school and, you guessed it, a library, which opened in 1901. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/11/AR2010021101702.html
