ETS scores a perfect 1600!

...or not.

1,600 More SAT Scoring Problems Found



By JUSTIN POPE, AP Education Writer 2 hours, 5 minutes ago

The College Board disclosed Tuesday that an additional 1,600 SAT scores have not been rechecked from an exam in October that had scoring problems.

The previously overlooked batch of answer sheets came from among those being scored separately for a variety of reasons, including security concerns. Some of those scores were on hold and had not been reported, but others may have been reported incorrectly, according to an e-mail sent to college admissions officers and guidance counselors early Tuesday. The statement also was posted on the College Board's Web site.

American Appreciation of Culture Hits New Low with ABC*!

DETROIT - A 12-year-old visitor to the Detroit Institute of Arts stuck a wad of gum to a $1.5 million painting, leaving a stain the size of a quarter, officials say.

...

Holly Academy director Julie Kildee said the boy had been suspended from the charter school and says his parents also have disciplined him.

"Even though we give very strict guidelines on proper behavior and we hold students to high standards, he is only 12 and I don't think he understood the ramifications of what he did before it happened, but he certainly understands the severity of it now," said Kildee.


The hell he didn't! He's TWELVE, not six!



And I'm sorry, but... that is a ridiculous painting. "The Bay"? Where is the Bay? Is it inland? Is the ocean full of toxic algae?

I think the Winterfresh is an improvement.

Saddam Prescribed Ritalin



Today the judge at Saddam Hussein's trial ordered that, after the fifteenth request for Hussein to "put your bottom in your seat!", that the former dictator be sent to a medical doctor for evaluation.

Dr. Joe Doe, a family practitioner, was the only doctor in Hussein's HMO.

"It quickly became clear to me that Mr. Hussein was having trouble keeping focus on one thing at a time," said Doe. "I've seen this same syndrome countless times... I've put him on Ritalin, in hopes of restoring order to the courtroom." When asked if the medication is safe for a man of Hussein's years, Doe replied, "The collective age of all my patients currently taking Ritalin FAR exceeds that of Mr. Hussein's."

The judge was relieved to hear the diagnoses. "Maybe now we can get back to speach-making and pontificating--by the lawyers."

Source: Hussein was then placed in Time Out.
