Gaston Caperton is stepping down as president of the College Board, the company that runs the SAT and Advanced Placement exams. Caperton, 71, has helmed the College Board since 1999, a period that saw the number of students taking its exams go from 3 million to 7 million.

In 2009, Fortune magazine reported that an equal number of students now take the two tests.

A tea party-backed conservative congresswoman says President Barack Obama has failed to demonstrate a vital U.S. national security interest for going into Libya.
Rep. Michele Bachmann also says "I would not have gone in" to the strife-torn North African country where strongman Moammar Gadhafi is fighting to cling to power against a resistance force.
The Minnesota Republican is considering whether to seek her party's 2012 presidential nomination. She tells NBC's "Today" show she doesn't support intervening regularly in humanitarian crises.
She says the "Obama doctrine" would provide a rationale for the United States "to enter into one country after another." Bachmann says she's against giving military assistance to the rebels fighting Gadhafi, saying she fears there are al Qaida elements among their numbers.

Jennifer Aniston is used to being in front of the cameras, and now she's going to get another chance to make some magic behind the lens. She's slated to direct a short film about breast cancer for Lifetime's five-part anthology, Project Five.
Four other stars will also get to try the directing thing for the same project, and three of them have been named: Alicia Keys, Demi Moore, and Monster's Patty Jenkins. The fourth gal has yet to be revealed.
Jen is definitely excited about the project -- both the new gig and the film's message. "Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention. Otherwise, our goals are small," she said in a statement (via Us magazine). "We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts all of our lives, no matter who we are."
This is her second time in the director's chair: She worked behind the camera on 2006's Room 10, starring Robin Wright Penn and Kris Kristofferson. "After you get enough movies under your belt you sit back and go, 'What's next?'" she said about the gig in a past interview. "It's getting to a time where creatively I want to turn in a different direction."
In his opinion piece at Politico today, Joe Scarborough asks, "How can liberals call for Qadhafi's ouster when they opposed the war against Saddam?"
It's a good question! And it would have helped if Scarborough had, you know, identified some liberals who were taking that stance, so they could be asked that. You know, like, maybe a link, or something? So I could see such hypocrisy in action? This is apparently too much to ask.
But, okay! Scarborough says that "for a decade," President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were compared to Hitler and Stalin, "condemned as an immoral beast who killed women and children to get his bloody hands on Iraqi oil," by anti-war activists and CODE PINK, etc. "But," Scarborough says, "in the morally murky afterglow of the Obama years, the certainty of these secular saints has melted away."
What's At Stake In The Massive Walmart Anti-Discrimination Case Before The Supreme Court
0 komentar Diposting oleh asoy di 02.47Wal-Mart Stores, the largest retailer in the world, and the Supreme Court on Tuesday to argue that the court of a class action to combat discrimination lawsuit by female employees that have cost billions of stops dealer. In the work for 10 years, could be commensurate with the largest class action civil rights case in U.S. history to do so.
In early 2001, more than 100 employees accused Wal-Mart, which pulled in $ 14.1 billion in profits last year, although sales remain the United States, and pay his employees less than men in similar positions and in favor of men in promotions to the stores of the United States 3400 By the end of 1998. He denied any wrongdoing, Wal-Mart, said that its policy prohibits corporations, discrimination, and encourage diversity and ensure equality of treatment.
Wal-Mart and victory would be a terrible setback for civil rights, and legal experts say the absence of a mechanism that recognizes the workers themselves against discrimination.
"Some employers calculus and economic integration that it will not be liable for discrimination if they are made, and so they can continue the status quo until someone holds them responsible for this," said Marcia Greenberger, co-chair of the National Women's Law Center. "I think that win [against] Wal-Mart will not change."
Questioning the legality of the Supreme Court to consider whether there is the largest retailer in the world of discrimination, but it is a technical issue: Do the statistics enough so that these women that the case began a decade ago to be able to make a large group of staff at National current and former to put into practice Costume category?Wal-Mart will argue in court that the women in the different stores you do not have enough in common to make the work of a single class action.
But, as a class action lawsuit at Wal-Mart is an important means to combat discrimination on the implementation of laws, experts say, because they allow employees to group together the costs of litigation and information through the case, and demand applies to employers, as an individual of his or her own.
"If this class is the mechanism of action is flawed, and I fear that large quantities of discrimination, which will remain in the shadows and the United Nations, that is correct," said Greenberger. "This means that it will not go astray in the budgets of American families across the country of your salary got family members that this is really worth, this is a difficult time for staff and their families to be discriminated against in wages and deception."

Libyan government tanks and rockets blunted a rebel assault on Moammar Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte on Tuesday and drove back the ragtag army of irregulars, even as world leaders prepared to debate the country future in London.Rockets and tank fire sent Libya's rebel volunteers in a panicked scramble away from the front lines, before the opposition was able to bring up truck mounted rocket launchers of their own and return fire.
The two sides traded salvos over the small hamlet of Bin Jawwad amid the thunderous crash of rockets and artillery shells as plumes of smoke erupted from the town. The steady drum of heavy machine gun fire and the pop of small arms could also be heard above the din.
"There aren't a lot of us in Bin Jawwad right now," said Faisal Ali, a 20 year-old-rebel who had retreated from the town. "If (Gadhafi) has enough firepower and forces using tanks, he will surely take over Bin Jawwad," he added, noting that the rebels' special forces, one of their few trained units, had not yet retreated.
The latest rebel setback emphasizes the see-saw nature of this conflict and how the opposition is still no match for the superior firepower and organization of Gadhafi's forces, despite an international campaign of deadly airstrikes.
A U.N.-mandated no-fly zone and campaign of strikes by the U.S. and its allies helped rebel forces regain territory lost of the past week, when they were on the brink of defeat by government forces.
This beloved classic is getting a facelift. Quite literally.
Disney has closed a deal for a big screen reboot of Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple" mystery novel series, and the House of Mouse is making substantial changes to the story. Deadline reports that, instead of the British grandma Jane Marple portrayed in the books and in previous big screen incarnations, the film series will instead feature a young, far more svelte amateur sleuth, to be played by Jennifer Garner.
Garner, of course, has plenty of screen experience when it comes to solving mysteries, starring in the longrunning TV spy show, "Alias." This will be a bit different; the novels, 12 in all, were written from the 1930-70's. Whether the films will stay in that considerable span of time, or be brought up to date has yet to be announced.
Marple has been played by a number of notable actors, both on TV and the big screen. The first films starred Margaret Rutherford, while Angela Landsbury took on the role in the star-studded "The Mirror Crack'd," which included Tony Curtis and Elizabeth Taylor.

Happy quarter-century, Lady Gaga! The singer turns 25 today and celebrated her big day with 60 close friends over the weekend in LA.
Lady Gaga is 25! (Bauer Griffin)
Gaga held her party at La Cita, a low-key Mexican hotspot, and turned the dinner into a mini concert! She took the stage with the restaurant's Mariachi band and belted out some of her hits, including "Born This Way" and some Madonna hits. Luckily, her "Born This Way" rendition was caught on video!
(So, add that to her Country Road remix of the new hit single, and that makes three awesome "Born This Way" versions!)
A source at the party said (via Us magazine) "she was onstage for most of the night performing for all her friends. No one knew she was going to go up there and perform with them, I think she just loves to be on stage and doing what she does so well."
Apparently there were several birthday cakes at her party, and while she wasn't at the mic in her sparkling black dress, she walked around and gabbed with her friends while nibbling on cake. "She was walking around saying hi to everyone," the source said. "It was an amazing night."

Lawrence of Arabia, a 1962 British film based on the life of T. E. Lawrence directed by David Lean and produced by Sam Spiegel through his British company, Horizon Pictures, with the screenplay by Robert Bolt and Michael Wilson. The film stars Peter O’Toole in the title role. It is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential films in the history of cinema.
Lawrence of Arabia tells the story of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence who was known for his liaison role during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turkish rule that was happening during 1916 to 1918. Yet, some see this Lawrence of Arabia as the tragedy of Lawrence’s life for which he felt eternally guilty. On the other hand, despite Lloyd George and President Clemenceau of France striking such a deal, Lawrence succeeded under Churchill at the Colonial Office in creating the kingdoms of Iraq and Transjordan, on whose thrones were placed the Arab brothers he trusted, Faisal and Abdullah.
Like many others, I was shocked when I heard that Geraldine Ferraro died today. She was a key figure in the political world, but more than that, she was a beloved mother, involved teacher, lawyer, politician, and journalist. I hadn’t known she had been suffering from multiple myeloma for the past twelve years. Also, like many others, I Googled the disease to see exactly what it is.
Multiple myeloma is an incurable blood cancer. Specifically, it is cancer of the plasma cells in bone marrow.
In multiple myeloma, plasma cells grow out of control in the bone marrow and form tumors in the areas of solid bone. The growth of these bone tumors makes it harder for the bone marrow to make red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This causes anemia, which makes a person more likely to get infections and have abnormal bleeding. As the cancer cells grow in the bone marrow, they can cause pain and destruction of the bones. If the bones in the spine are affected, it can put pressure on the nerves, resulting in numbness or paralysis........

Jim Calhoun could scarcely watch when the most improbable postseason run of his coaching life at Connecticut came down to an open 3-point attempt by Arizona's Jamelle Horne.
The shot clanged off the back rim. The clock hit zeros.
Nine victories in just 19 days. Calhoun has seen just about everything, but nothing like this – and now his Huskies will keep running all the way to Houston.
Kemba Walker scored 20 points, freshman Jeremy Lamb added 19 and UConn earned its second Final Four berth in three years, beating Arizona 65-63 Saturday to win the West regional..........
The Korean War. An Army unit is ambushed while on patrol in the countryside, their interpreter has double crossed them. The soldiers get strapped down to gurneys and hoisted on to helicopters, flown away into the night skies with their fates uncertain. So begins The Manchurian Candidate, the 1962 film written by George Axelrod (adapted from the book by Richard Condon), directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Frank Sinatra, Lawrence Harvey, Janet Leigh, and Angela Lansbury.
After that brief prologue, we soon learn what happened to those soldiers. Somehow, they escaped and were brought to safety by Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Harvey). Awarded the Medal of Honor, Shaw returns home a hero, with his politically minded mother (Lansbury) using his fame as a way to propel her second husband, a U.S. Senator, into the national spotlight. Raymond wants nothing to do with his mother or his step-father. He hates them both, HATES them. Raymond is given the opportunity of lifetime to work for a New York newspaper and tries to put the war and his family behind him.......
The nexus of Obama’s almae matres: Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard, as well as that of his parents, the University of Hawaii, in the CIA’s mind control, behavioral modification, and mass hypnosis projects is deeply troubling. The fact that Obama has failed to provide a full accounting of his past academic and professional employment history, coupled with the presence of a major CIA presence within his and his parents’, grandparents’, and step-father’s backgrounds opens up the real possibility that Obama was, to use the CIA’s own term, “nurtured,” for a higher calling.
Obama told the nation that his would be the most open and transparent in recent recent history. However, Obama’s biography and those of his parents and guardians are full of more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. It is well past time for the President to make good on that promise and fully release his past academic, passport, employment, and overseas travel records. After eight brutal years of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, the nation was ready for any change. Unfortunately, the CIA, through LOOKING GLASS, MK-ULTRA, ARTICHOKE, PANDORA, and other behavioral science programs were ready to answer the call. The CIA answered the call with Obama and most of us bought him and his “Hope and Change” propaganda fecundity “nurtured” by CIA programs going back some sixty years.
The 1962 film the Manchurian Candidate is a certified classic. The political thriller was so good that it earned the best tribute it could get. A remake. In 2004, Denzel Washington took on the role originally played by Frank Sintra.
There was of course some updating in the remake, some new tweets, and lots of color. But the original black and white, still holds it own. So which one is better and what has been said in comparing the two films?Most film fans who were familiar with the original political thriller tend to side with the 1962 version. But under the direction of Johnathan Demme with a cast that included along side Denzel the likes of Meryl Streep and Liev Schreilber, they do a fabulous job. It’s a strong piece of cinema that comes as a fresher, bright version of the dark and foreboding original.

For the first time, scientists have accessed the molecular causes of multiple myeloma – an aggressive, incurable blood cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 40%.
This week, several multiple myeloma genomes have been sequenced. And they reveal an assortment of mutated genes involved (that have never been suspected before) and identify chemical pathways to target in future therapies – some of which are already in development.
The disease begins in the bone marrow, where white blood cells become malignant (pictured), crowding out normal bone marrow cells and attacking solid bone. There are about 20,000 new cases in the US a year.
To map out its genetic code, researchers sequenced 38 tumor genomes from multiple myeloma patients, and then compared them with the patients’ normal DNA sequences.

Cherry Blossom Festival 2011 Kicks Off With Solemn Tribute To Japan Victims
0 komentar Diposting oleh asoy di 00.53The flowering trees that symbolize friendship between the United States and Japan are blooming for the 99th time in Washington in the wake of one of the world's worst natural disasters.
Before the two-week National Cherry Blossom Festival opens Saturday, organizers held a fundraising walk and vigil Thursday evening among the trees for victims of Japan's March 11 earthquake and tsunami. An estimated 18,000 people have been killed in the disaster.Several hundred people gathered at the Washington Monument on a cold evening, some holding Japanese flags or signs of support.
"Everything started on what I call 3/11 – earthquake, tsunami and nuclear incident – and we are still struggling," he said. "This is a very tough fight, but the consolation is people around the world are trying to be with us."
Demi Lovato is apparently a believer in the supernatural. This week, the Disney star told TMZ that she spied a spectre hanging out in her closet once upon a time: "It was creepy, it was in my closet when I was about eight it scared me to death. It just popped out and it was horrible!"
Lovato is by no means the only star who claims to have been haunted once or twice. A while back, a member of Lady Gaga's tour crew claimed the pop singer was being followed by an "annoying" spirit named Ryan. Other celebs who've recounted creepy encounters include Nicolas Cage, Keanu Reeves and Matthew McConaughey.
