Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has the talent and work ethic to become the most prolific player at his position since Jerry Rice. During Arizona's memorable run to last February's Super Bowl, Fitzgerald made 30 catches for 546 yards, scoring seven touchdowns in the process - all postseason records. His encore starts on Sunday, Sept. 13, when the Cardinals, who suffered a heart-breaking Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, host the San Francisco 49ers in their 2009 opener.

Whereas an average American student may never match up to his Indian counterpart on the basis of test scores or work ethic, political, economic, and, most importantly, pedagogical asymmetry almost guarantees that the latter will end up working for the former. This sad fact of globalization, perhaps rooted in the investment each country has made for its future, shortchanges India’s students today, and therefore fails to effectively inspire this nation?...
