Kissing babies, stumping on the campaign tour and meeting with the local supporters all seems so... well 1.0. Texas Congressman and libertarian Dr. Ron Paul represents the new 2.0 candidate, with his success recruiting supporters through new social media channels. But Congressman Paul's online supporters may run far afield from the typical campaign supporter. With over 114,000 views, the MSNBC interview with Michelle Shinghal, representing Strippers for Ron Paul, showcased one of the many new and curious groups campaigning online for the Republican hopeful. With some candidates in the 2008 Presidential election embracing every facet...
...this edition of TIFF, one day was not enough to contain all the 9/11-related movies - not with Hollywood finally getting the Iraq bug. Two American fiction films, Brian De Palma's Redacted and Paul Haggis' In the Valley of Elah, both based on true incidents of violence involving U.S. soldiers, have been among the festival's most strident talking points. Gavin Hood's Rendition tossed Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal and Meryl Streep into a story of U.S.-condoned torture of a terror suspect.

Graduate School of Education (GSE) Lecturer S. Paul Reville was appointed chairman of the State Board of Education (BOE) last month by Governor Deval L.

Reville has held many leadership positions in the education...
...Some wonder, though, if that is enough. John Paul II may have raised the bar forever on what we expect from a Pope. His central role in undoing Communism, critiquing capitalism and calling on world religions to actively seek peace made the last Pope a major global player. One can sense that Benedict understands that he cannot just do all gospel, all the time. In Austria he dropped in references to globalization, economic disparity and even the environment. But on those subjects he doesn't exhibit the incisive intelligence that characterize his theological and philosophical musings...
...ultimately, to stand out the way John Paul II did on world affairs, Benedict will again have to use his skills as theologian-philosopher to make a political point - adding a bigger dose of diplomacy than he did last year in Regensberg. He had a chance during an address last Friday to Vienna-based diplomats to lay out his broad vision of world affairs, but he chose not to take it. With key figures at the International Atomic Energy Agency present, for example, he made no mention of growing tensions between the West and Iran. Still, Benedict may soon...
