aurelia, my guess is no, they don't, but you might try calling a main number and asking for one of these people, maybe Mr. de la Vega. (I mean, not that you'll get him on the phone, but someone in his office could probably answer your question, at least.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'd better find someone who will talk to me because Plan B is having (former) Worldcom disappeared.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Pretty much. Which is why I type everything.
eta: I blame the fact that they got rid of corporal punishment before I started first grade. If they had been whacking my wrists with rulers, I bet I'd be making my zeros and Os correctly to this day....

Oh my. Is it OK to say that the Pope sucks? (Or is "sucks" too gay?)
From the LA Times: Pope's new edict on the priesthood
The Vatican recently issued a statement re-emphasizing that even chaste gay men are to be barred from the priesthood. Never mind that large numbers of gay priests -- estimates range from 25% to 50% -- already serve the faithful, with most adhering to their vow of celibacy.
"Guidelines for the Use of Psychology in the Admission and Formation of Candidates for the Priesthood," released Oct. 30 by the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education, not only reiterates the teaching that men with "deep-seated" homosexual tendencies are unworthy of ordination, it also urges seminaries to enlist the aid of psychologists in screening candidates for homosexuality and other "psychic disturbances."
(Emphasis mine.)
Sullivan comments:
It seems to me that the Los Angeles Times is correct in noting that no APA credited psychologist should ethically cooperate with this kind of bigotry and psychological illiteracy. Apart from a tiny fringe, American pscyhologists have not viewed homosexuality as a "disturbance" or indeed in any way a problem. Neither, of course, did Freud.

That wasn't as much fun.

Hey, does anyone know how accurate the size chart for the Lauren brand by Ralph Lauren runs? Becaue I found a perfect-for-me jacket on eBay, but the RL size charts tell me I'm 1.5" out of luck.

Somebody just mentioned "social capital" in their presentation (I'm in [boring-ass] class). Totally thought of you Buffistae.
