SAT Cheating Scandal

How about just relying less on these stupid tests? They’re useless. The only question I got right on mine was my name and look at me now! Can anyone of you spare some change?

In recent years, nearly all states have passed laws prohibiting the use of handheld devices while driving. Nevada took a different approach. In a first for any nation, the state passed a law that legalizes texting, provided one does so in a self-driving autonomous car. This places Nevada at the forefront of innovation. — http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/06/science/sebastian-thrun-self-driving-cars-can-save-lives-and-parking-spaces.html?_r=1&src=tp&smid=fb-share

I’VE been saying this for a while, but now it feels even more acute: America’s democracy has shrunken to “the only 100 days.” Since F.D.R., we’ve measured presidents by their “first 100 days.” But now it’s really “the only 100 days.” Presidents lately seem to have just those 100 days to lay down a transformational agenda and get it passed in their first year — before they have to tailor their politics to the midterm elections — and then, if, as often happens, their party loses the midterms they have to focus on the next presidential election. China has five-year plans. We have 100 days every four. So all I’m thinking about now is how we get the most out of the first 100 days of 2013 — our next quadrennial chance to make serious policy (barring a crisis that forces our hand). — http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/11/opinion/sunday/friedman-the-next-first-and-only-100-days.html

The [Hornets] were recently bought by the NBA, which prompted Jackson to say: “Not happy about that.”

Jackson put forth a scenario where Hornets star Chris Paul might revive his demand for a trade, and Jackson wondered how the league could manage being the one deciding which other franchise would get Paul.

“Who’s going to pull the button on it?” Jackson asked. “When Chris says he has to be traded, how’s that going to go? … Someone’s going to have to make a very nonjudgmental decision on that part that’s not going to irritate anyone else in the league.”

I don't get it.

Was I the only one who saw the horrific Giants offense last season? Are they really just going back out there with the only changes being a “healthy Posey” and 2 journeymen outfielders? WTF?!

The Department of Homeland Security has spent billions since 9/11 trying to keep dangerous people and dangerous explosives off airplanes, and treating us all air travelers like potential terrorists in the process. But according to a former security adviser to a leading airline, the terrorists have changed the game-and the government hasn’t yet caught on. — http://gizmodo.com/5865487/insider-56-billion-later-airport-security-is-junk
