...Your latest video, "This Too Shall Pass," had some backlash from fans because, unlike your first few videos, users weren't able to embed the clip on their blogs or on other websites. When did you get tipped off that this was going to be a problem? It was actually the video before - for the song "WTF." We put it online and started getting complaints from our fans. It wasn't on the front page of YouTube, there wasn't a huge splash about it. By the time the second video came out, it was a day or two before...
...problem with using development funds for education is that results are difficult to quantify over short periods of time. Even with a state-of-the-art teacher-training college, something desperately needed in Afghanistan, it would take at least four years to see qualified instructors placed in rural schools. But there is another way to spend money on education that is quantifiable, sustainable and quickly effective. In the 1970s, the Soviet Union provided thousands of university scholarships annually to Afghan students. The only condition - set by the Afghan government - was that each of those students return to Afghanistan immediately upon...
This isn't the kind of problem most school chiefs in the U.S. have to worry about. A year ago, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm gave Bobb, the former president of Washington, D.C.'s Board of Education, the task of ending the financial crisis that has devastated the Detroit public-school system. In the past decade, the number of Detroit public-school students has plummeted from more than 167,000 to 84,600, mainly because of the emergence of charter schools and the middle class's exodus to the suburbs. It could fall further, to 65,000 in the next four...
...former Senator needs to recruit the missus, Elizabeth Edwards. "If she said, 'He breached the most important thing we had, which is trust, and I'm hurt beyond words, but I believe in him,' she'd get Mother Teresa status and it would help him with his biggest problem, which is the credibility,'' says Sitrick. This could be tough, however, since two new books, one of which is by Edwards' former aide Andrew Young, a.k.a. the guy who originally claimed to be Quinn's dad, cast both Edwardses in a bad light, and Elizabeth may not want to put herself...
...says GFDL's Morris Bender, the lead author, is that it simulates the statistics of the most severe future hurricanes - something previous studies couldn't do because of an inability to accurately reproduce a hurricane's structure. A new modeling approach used in this week's study remedies that problem, he says, and suggests that Category 4 and 5 storms will become relatively more common by 2100 - with the important caveat that the change will not become clearly detectable until the second half of the century. The locus of the biggest increase, continues Bender, is projected...
