Volume Two, which features 11 songs penned by Deschanel (plus two covers) and produced by Ward, has a similar tone but ups the complexity of the arrangements. "It's much more difficult to play live," says Deschanel. "We're in rehearsals now, and I'm like, Oh, man, why didn't I write simpler songs?" The result, however, is clean and intimate--the sound of a duo making music as much for themselves as for an audience. The first single, "In the Sun," is upbeat and danceable, but the standout track is "Thieves"--a brokenhearted love song so timeless that...
...voting in France's regional elections. Sarkozy's Union for a Popular Movement party, which snagged a surprisingly low 26%, lost by a wide margin to parties on the left; a coalition composed of the Socialist, Europe Ecology and Leftist Front parties took a combined 47%. Pollsters expect a similar result in the second round of voting, which is scheduled for March 21. The elections, held in each of France's 22 regions, are the last contest before Sarkozy's expected 2012 re-election...

And that's not even counting the fact that unlike her, Laszlo and I both have penises. So more like...
...compete in an increasingly global workforce. Obama would define school success by how much improvement students make from grade to grade, no matter where they started, as opposed to the current system, in which schools are judged on students' absolute performance, not their progress. Obama's model is similar to the one we pioneered three years ago here in New York City, where we give schools an A-to-F grade based on how well they're helping their students acquire skills. The grades help focus schools on a clear set of expectations and are one way we hold them...
