Jon Draud, recently named Kentucky education commissioner, plans to use a Northern Kentucky program as an ember to light a fire under education throughout the state.Draud said Friday that he wants to work with Chambers of Commerce and community leaders throughout the state to encourage them to hold education summits like November's Northern Kentucky Education Summit that drew 850 people - from educators to business leaders to parents - to discuss how every segment of the community needs to support education."One of my first initiatives will be to take the summit concept and do it regionally on a statewide basis," said Draud, who late last month resigned his seat as a state legislator after being named education commissioner. "I want to use the Chambers of Commerce as a base of support."Draud said he has met with the state Chamber of Commerce president and has a planning meeting scheduled for Jan. 10.Attendees left the daylong summit in Covington pledging to become "champions" for educ

In the same article published in People, Angelina Jolie recently lauded President George Bush’s call for Congress to double the funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief to a whopping $30 Billion.
The staggering amount reportedly includes funding to help orphans worldwide (and we all know how close orphans are to Angelina’s heart — she is also an honorary board chairperson of the Global Action for Children, an organization she helped launch in April)
“We are all very grateful that the President has made this major commitment to these children,” Jolie said in a statement.
“These are the world’s children, and this is the world’s responsibility, and we hope that other G-8 countries will follow his lead.”
“I will continue to actively lobby on behalf of these children and encourage Congress to follow through on this commitment,” Angelina added.
Congratulations for this feat, President Bush! And congra

COLFAX, Washington (WNB) -- A new study recently published by the National Science Union of Health Conscience Researchers (NSUHCR) is purported to have shown numerous positive health effects of the pond scum. The study, which was started nearly 6 years ago and completed a month ago reportedly shows a link between scum ingestion and cancer remission, lower instances of heart disease, and increased immune systems.“These are really groundbreaking findings,” said Dr. Adam Clover, the head of research for the NSUHCR. “This has the potential to help treat or cure every major disease plaguing the world, it’s really fantastic. More research is need for us to figure out exactly why our bodies react so strongly to pond scum but the hypothesis around the lab is the body loves the high ion content.”The study is not without its skeptic though. “I would highly suggest that nobody goes out and starts lapping at the brown foam floating in their neighborhood lakes,” FDA researcher Dr. Pau
Paul Jewell paid tribute to Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo after the young pair conspired to bury his Wigan side on Boxing Day.
Ronaldo scored twice within four minutes of his half-time introduction, while Rooney was outstanding throughout the Reds' 3-1 win.
Although the England striker was frustrated in front of goal, it was his all-round contribution which caught Jewell's eye.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is brilliant," said Jewell. "Not only is he quick, he is also a fantastic footballer. He is good in the air and he lifted the crowd.
"Rooney was amazing as well. We had a three-on-one situation when he got back to clear. The lad does not know the meaning of the phrase 'lost cause'."
Having faced United and second-placed Chelsea in the space of four days, Jewell admits this season's title race will go right to the wire.
"It will be a dead heat," he predicted when asked which side he thought would ultimately prevail as champions.
"Today Manchester United were better than us in all dep
