...heavy consequences of CSAT scores drive the Korean high school education system into a frenzy—one those creepy parents on CollegeConfidential.com can’t even touch. High school students almost all attend “cram school” classes, where they’re taught material expressly for the CSAT. Even more serious parents send their children to boarding cram schools, where they study for the test from 7a.m. until midnight, and are banned from watching videos, the Internet, and having boyfriends/girlfriends...
...this sort of thing is not uncommon; I'd guess 20% to 30% of my patients are into some type of supplements or "nutriceuticals." But Jerry stands out. He's a conservative, older guy from that generation of men who were most definitely not "in touch with" their bodies. He's practical, worldly, wise and skeptical.

...Kennedy years, he was almost perfect in his hard work and insightfulness.

...seen nothing yet. Apple is expected to unveil its own table computer (think of an iPod Touch on steroids) by the end of the year. While a larger-screen device cannot run the 50,000-plus iPhone applications without some modification, we can assume that Apple's engineers have a fix in the works. So when it arrives, it'll be a game changer, complete with a library of software that provides 50,000-plus reasons not to go on the Web. The biggest part of the game it will change will be to dilute the Google-dominated...
Dillinger gets the genial touch of Johnny Depp's star quality in Public Enemies, the gigantic, meticulous but finally perfunctory new biopic from director and co-writer Michael Mann. There's not a soupon of psychopathy in this Dillinger; rather, he's a smart, charming, efficient entrepreneur whose career would've lasted much longer if he hadn't been surrounded by klutzes, sharks and a betrayer from a brothel...
