Lelling says 33 parents "paid enormous sums" to ensure their children got into schools such as Yale, sending money to a man named William Singer for faking records and obtaining false scores on important tests such as the SAT and ACT. "Singer's clients paid him anywhere between $200,000 and $6.5 million for this service." In most cases, he added, the parents paid between $250,000 and $450,000 per student. "These parents are a catalog of wealth and privilege," Lelling said. "They include, for example, CEOs of private and public companies, successful securities and real estate investors, two well-known actresses, a famous fashion designer, and the co-chairman of a global law firm."

"So when we play these kind of average math games, we are right there." The USGS simulated a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on the Hayward Fault, which runs up and down the East Bay Area through Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward, Fremont and Milpitas. The results show that an earthquake of that scale could kill up to 800 people and cause more than $100 billion in total damage. California Town Fixes Crooked Curb, Breaks Geologists' Hearts THE TWO-WAY California Town Fixes Crooked Curb, Breaks Geologists' Hearts The report also found that a quake of that size could ignite up to 400 fires in the Bay Area that would destroy the equivalent of 52,000 single-family homes. Old pipes in the underground sewer system would very likely rupture, cutting off access to water for firefighters and residents.

In 2013, Shefet had a plain-vanilla legal practice. He wrote employment contracts and analyzed intellectual property claims. That all changed, he says, when a client's vengeful enemy took to the Internet and created websites that attacked Shefet — claiming he was a member of the Serbian mafia. The claim was so ludicrous that Shefet shrugged it off. But the pages quickly rose to the top of his Google search results. Some colleagues began to question Shefet openly, and he realized he couldn't ignore it anymore. He felt his reputation and his career might unravel. Shefet obtained an order from a French court directing Google to stop highlighting the defamatory sites in search results for his name. He hired a courier to serve the injunction at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. But nothing happened, he says. Google's lawyers ignored it. "The pinnacle of arrogance is indifference," Shefet says. "They simply couldn't care less ... not even a bot response."

But Chaslot says he noticed the main goal at YouTube wasn't to inform people; it was to keep people watching videos for as long as possible. "This goal has some very bad side effects and I started to notice the side effect as I worked at YouTube," he says. Among the side effects he noticed: People tended to get only one point of view on a topic — and not always the right one. For example, a search for "moon landing" might bring up videos from conspiracy theorists arguing that NASA faked the whole event. Chaslot tried to create an algorithm that would show people different points of view. But, he says, his bosses weren't interested.

They said he is a 25-year-old resident of the community at Kukio Golf and Beach Club and had been out paddleboarding with his father. Father and son told rescuers that a shark had bumped the younger man’s board, then tore into him after he lost his balance and fell.

However, since 2009, newer studies have shown benefits of soya products, including tempeh, tofu, edamame and soy milk. 7. Use regular bar soaps The doctor recommends using old-fashioned bar soap instead of antibacterial soap can lessen the risk of toxins you are exposed to. 8. Buy organic fruit Dr Funk recommends eating organic produce as often as you can. She said this is especially important with fruit or vegetables you consume with the skin on as it may have absorbed toxins. 9. Dust and vacuum your home regularly Dusting and vacuuming is a great way to lessen the number of toxins in the air, according to Funk. 10. Fill your home with household plants Many house plants naturally absorb toxins, Funk said.

Michael Dunn adds, "Holding people accountable for being late is not micromanagement. Getting to work on time is called respecting your coworkers."

This isn't because it isn't really red, but rather because its redness is a macroscopic feature. Human blood is red because hemoglobin, which is carried in the blood and functions to transport oxygen, is iron-rich and red in color. Octopuses and horseshoe crabs have blue blood. This is because the protein transporting oxygen in their blood, hemocyanin, is actually blue. .. . But our blood is red. It's bright red when the arteries carry it in its oxygen-rich state throughout the body. And it's still red, but darker now, when it rushes home to the heart through the veins.

I have nothing to say: no hopes, no dreams, no fears, no warnings, no insights; nothing, absolutely nothing...I try to remember what it was like when tomorrow seemed so full of possibility and my words seemed to have the power to influence (if only slightly) what that tomorrow would look like. "I can't really remember that. Now tomorrow will be exactly like today and yesterday and all the days preceding and all the days following, I have no influence over anything. "But one thing I do remember, one thing I know: the sense of possibility was real. It may have been naive to believe our dream could come true, but it was not foolish to believe that another world was possible. It really was. Or at least that's how I remember it."

'Our mouths were ajar': Doctor's fight to expose Flint's water crisis By Sanjay Gupta, Ben Tinker and Tim Hume, CNN Updated Thu January 21, 2016 "We were attacked," Hanna-Attisha recalls. She was labeled an "unfortunate researcher" and accused of causing hysteria. Critics said her figures did not line up with the state's findings. Even though General Motors stopped using the city's water supply because it was corroding engine parts, the official reaction, Hanna-Attisha says, was one of "denial, denial, denial." The criticism, she says, took its toll. "I was physically ill. I think my heart rate went up to 200. You know, you check and you double-check, and you know your research is right. The numbers didn't lie, but when the state is telling you you're wrong, it's hard not to second-guess yourself." A turning point came, however, through a conversation with a state health official who reached out, asking how she had come to her findings. "They re-looked at their data and found, 'You know what? Our findings are consistent with your findings,' " she says.

Germany's justice minister and Europe's industry boss raised the pressure on Volkswagen to compensate European consumers as well as U.S. drivers for its diesel emissions scandal, potentially adding to a hefty bill. Volkswagen has been mired in scandal since September when it admitted it had cheated U.S. tests by using software known as "defeat devices" to mask nitrogen oxide emissions. In the United States, Volkswagen Group of America has promised goodwill compensation worth $1,000 each to tens of thousands of vehicle owners. But in Europe, VW officials have said they will repair vehicles to remove illegal software, but have no plans to pay consumers compensation, arguing they have suffered no loss.

Last July, after more than a year of public complaints about the drinking water in Flint, Michigan—water so pungent and foamy that a local pastor had stopped using it for baptisms—reporters were calling the state’s Department of Environmental Quality. The response from the department was of limited urgency. In an internal e-mail to colleagues, a spokeswoman, Karen Tommasulo, wrote, “Apparently it’s going to be a thing now.” The D.E.Q. tried to stop the water from becoming a thing, partly by downplaying concerns. A memo from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency warned that the city’s use of a new water source was exposing the public to unsafe levels of lead, but Brad Wurfel, the.department’s lead spokesperson, told a reporter, “Let me start here—anyone who is concerned about lead in the drinking water in Flint can relax.” Even after a group of Virginia Tech researchers found unsafe levels of lead, Wurfel disputed the importance of the findings because, he wrote, the group “specializes in looking for high lead problems. They pull that rabbit out of that hat everywhere they go.” He added that “dire public health advice based on some quick testing could be seen as fanning political flames irresponsibly. Residents of Flint concerned about the health of their community don’t need more of that.”
