Father Guido Sarducci's Five Minute University

 I find that education, it don't matter where you go to school, Italy, America, Brazil, all are the same -- it's all this memorization and it don't matter how long you can remember anything just so you can parrot it back for the tests.

I got this idea for a school I would like to start, something called the Five Minute University. The idea is that in five minutes you learn what the average college graduate remembers five years after he or she is out of school.

It would cost like twenty dollars. That might seem like a lot of money, twenty dollars just for five minutes, but that's for like tuition, cap and gown rental, graduation picture, snacks, everything. Everything included.

You know, like in college you have to take a foreign language. Well, at the Five Minute University you can have your choice, any language you want you can take it. Say if you want to take Spanish, what I teach you is "¿Como está usted?" that means, "how are you", and the answer is "muy bien," means "very well." And believe me, if you took two years of college Spanish, five years after you are out of school "¿Como está usted?" and "muy bien" about all you're gonna remember.

So in my school that's all you learn. You see, you don't have to waste your time with conjugations and vocabulary, all that junk. You'll just forget it anyway, what's the difference.

Economics? "Supply and Demand." That's it. Business is, "you buy something, and you sell it for more." Theology, I'm gonna have a theology department, you know, since I'm a priest, and what you have to learn in theology is the answer to the question, "Where is God?", and the answer is, "God is everywhere." Why? "Because he likes you." That's kind of a combination of the Disney and Roman Catholic philosophy. It's just perfect for the late 70s or early 80s you know, just perfect.

Well, after the courses are all over, then it's time for a little Easter vacation. No time to go to Fort Lauderdale, only lasts for like twenty seconds. But what I'll do for you, I like to turn on the sun lamp you know, give you a little glass of orange juice, that's for the snack part, orange juice, and then after vacation it's time for the final exams. I say to you, "¿Como está usted?" you say "muy bien," "Where is God?" "God is everywhere," Economics, "supply and demand," then you put on a cap and a gown, I get out my Polaroid camera, you know, make a little snap flash picture for you, I give you the picture, you give me twenty dollars, I give you a diploma, and you're a college graduate, ready to go.

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure, right next door to the five minute university, I might open up a little law school. You got another minute?

After getting my BA degree in economics and also getting a law degree more than 20 years ago, I assure you Fr. Sarducci is almost right on the mark about what you remember & learn from that experience. He's hilarious. The real world is where you get your education and it's an on-going process every day.

Barry Soetoro's Identity and Relationship to the Name Barack Obama

As many are aware, political opponents of Barack Obama have made an issue over his birth certificate. Various organizations, maybe most notably the so-called 'birthers',
 maintain that the birth certificate presented while he was running for president wasn't actually his, even though the Hawaii state government, the state of his birth, says that it is.

It goes further. Through various research efforts, many conspiracy theorists say that Barack Obama is actually Barry Soetoro and that somewhere along the way he changed his name to Barack Obama.

These believing that Barack Obama is actually Barry Soetoro allege that President Obama was not born in the United States. According to them, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, moved to the United States as a young man, and changed his name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Obama. Their basic premise is that they believe he was not born in the United States and therefore is ineligible to be President of the United States. Their other point is that each time President Obama signs his name, it shouldn't count since he really isn't Barack Obama, but is actually Barry Soetoro.

Furthermore, they say, since Barack Obama took the oath of office using the name Barck Obama, he never really took the oath of office since his actual name is Barry Soetoro.

Make sense?

Generally speaking, the questions of whether Barack Obama is a natural born United States citizen and whether or not his actual name is indeed Barack Obama are raised by fringe groups. The mainstream media pays little attention to the questions at this point as they are thought to have been well researched and ultimately discredited.

But today, something is up as the name "Barry Soetoro" has rocketed to the top position of Internet searches. Sometimes, some of the groups trying to promote awareness of their cause figure out ways to manipulate search volumes, thereby gaining exposure for their topics.

Leann Rimes and Eddie Cibrian to Live Together

One big happy family?
We can't even imagine how Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife, Brandi Glanville, is feeling right now, but we can assume she's not very happy. After all, not only is Eddie Cibrian moving in with the girl he cheated on his wife with, but he's also moving his kids in, too! We say this is crossing the line.

READ: Eddie Cibrian Fears Marrying LeAnn Rimes Will Ruin His Career
We just wish these two would stop flaunting their relationship so much. We get it-- you're together, you're in love, and you're happy you cheated on your spouses for each other. OK. Now, please, show some respect for the people you've shunned and keep your relationship a bit more discrete.
But it doesn't sound like LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are ready to do that any time soon. Not only is LeAnn still tweeting about how hot her boyfriend is, but now Eddie and his kids are moving into Cibrian's ex-wife, Brandi Glanville!

A source told E! Online, "Eddie and the kids are moving in with Leann to save money since Eddie lost his CSI job... Mason is moving into the dog's old room, and Jake is moving into LeAnn's office." Wait, the dog's old room?! Isn't LeAnn Rimes rich enough to have a few bedrooms in her house? No?
READ: LeAnn Rimes Ends Twitter Break

LeAnn purchased this home right around the time she and Eddie came out with their relationship. And it just happens to be down the street from the house Eddie shared with his ex-wife. Ew.
Remember when Brandi told People.com, "She can have most of everything...just not my children and my family"? Well, it looks LeAnn is one step closer to getting that. We wouldn't be able to handle this if we were Brandi. She and Eddie share joint custody of their two children, though, so Eddie can live wherever he wants with them.

What do you think of Eddie Cibrian moving into LeAnn Rimes' house with his kids?

What is Prader-Willi syndrome?

Prader-Willi syndrome
Classification and external resources
Patient with the syndrome showing characteristic facial appearance, with elongated face, prominent nose, and smooth philtrum
ICD-10	Q87.1
ICD-9	759.81
OMIM	176270
DiseasesDB	10481
eMedicine	ped/1880
MeSH	D011218

Prader–Willi syndrome (abbreviated PWS) is a rare genetic disorder in which seven genes (or some subset thereof) on chromosome 15 (q 11-13) are deleted or unexpressed (chromosome 15q partial deletion) on the paternal chromosome. It was first described in 1956 by Andrea Prader, Heinrich Willi, Alexis Labhart, Andrew Ziegler, and Guido Fanconi of Switzerland.^[1] The incidence of PWS is between 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 25,000 live births. The paternal gene origin is lost due to deletion and the maternal genes are silenced due to imprinting. PWS has the sister syndrome Angelman syndrome that includes maternally deleted and paternally imprinted genes in the same genetic region.

What is Prader-Willi syndrome?
Prader-Willi Syndrome is an uncommon genetic disorder that causes poor muscle tone, low levels of sex hormones and a constant feeling of hunger among other things. People with this disorder have a problem with their hypothalamus, part of the brain that controls feelings of fullness or hunger. Thus, these people never feel full and have a constant urge to eat, ultimately leading to life-threatening obesity.
Prader-Willi syndrome in most cases result from a spontaneous genetic mutation in genes on chromosome 15 that occurs at conception.  In rare cases, the mutation is inherited.
What are the symptoms of Prader-Willi syndrome?
Often people with this disorder experience symptoms in two stages.
Stage 1 - Infants with Prader-willi syndrome can have low muscle tone affecting their ability to such properly. Because of this, they need special feeding assistance to help them eat and they may have problems gaining weight.  The situation gets better as they grow older.
Stage 2--Between the ages of 1 and 6 years, the children with the disorder may feel constant hunger, have an insatiable appetite, meaning they never feel full.
Although they eat more, but because they have less muscle mass,  they do not burn as many calories as the normal peers leading to the development of life-threatening obesity if the diet is not kept under strict control.
Other symptoms that may affect people with Prader-Willi syndrome include
Behavioral problems such as stubbornness or temper tantrums
Delayed motor skills and speech due to low muscle tone
Cognitive problems, ranging from near normal intelligence to mild intellectual and developmental disabilities; learning disabilities are common
Repetitive thoughts and verbalizations
Collecting and hoarding of possessions
Picking at skin
Low sex hormone levels
Prader-Willi syndrome is considered a spectrum disorder, meaning that not all symptoms are expected to occur in everyone with the disorder and the symptoms may range from mild to severe.
People with Prader-Willi syndrome often have some special mental strengths as well, such as skills in jigsaw puzzles.  If obesity can be prevented, people with the syndrome can live a normal lifespan.
What are the treatments for Prader-Willi syndrome?
There is no cure for Prader-Willi syndrome. But, early intervention can help people with the disorder build skills for living a better life.  Early diagnosis is essential and luckily a health care provider can simply do a blood test to check for Prader-Willi syndrome.
Exercise and physical activity can help control weight gain and develop motor skills.  Speech therapy may also help with oral skills.
Human growth hormone can help increase height, decrease body fat, and increase muscle mass.  However, nothing can help control appetite in those with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Leona Lewis Falls Off Her Horse, Sports Crutches But No Major Injuries

British songbird Leona Lewis, A few months ago a fan punched her in the face at her book signing, and then just a day before New Year's Eve, she took a tumble off her horse in L.A. and has been spotted hobbling around on crutches. The hits just keep coming! At least her music career really took off in 2009.

She wasn't seriously injured from the fall, but the songstress was apparently thrown from the horse when it took off into a speedy gallop. A friend of hers said (via Perez Hilton): “Leona was riding the day before New Year Eve and fell off when the horse started galloping too fast. She went to emergency. It was pretty scary. She had quite a tumble

Sources said she is doing well, and will get right back up on the horse -- once her boo-boos have healed.

Travis Pastrana New Year's Eve 2009: Accomplishes World Record Rally Car Jump

Travis Pastrana set a New Year's Eve world record for jumping his Subaru Impreza WRX STI 274 feet across Pine Avenue Pier in Long Beach, California. The motocross champion and stunt performer launched his car over open water, careening into a wall after the jump, but emerged victoriously and unscathed.

Travis Pastrana (Getty) His 274-foot jump over open water, from pier to pier, beat the previous rally car record of 171 feet. The jump was televised on ESPN live, after the Chick-Fill-A Bowl this evening, in front of a screaming audience. Pastrana backflipped into the water after setting the record.

He'd apparently been practicing jumps that distance in the desert, but he was still a little nervous about the real deal. He said previously (via NowPublic.com): "I'm still scared to death. There's always a risk. But it's worth it to wake up every morning with a passion."

Tiger Woods is latest sponsorship AT&T

NEW YORK (AP) - AT&T Inc. said Thursday it would no longer sponsor Tiger Woods, joining Accenture in dropping support for the world's top golfer, who's taking a break from the sport to focus on his marriage after his admitted infidelity.

The phone company hasn't used Woods' image extensively in advertising, but its logo appeared on his golf bag. That deal had been billed as a "multiyear" agreement when it was signed early in 2009, after Buick ended its endorsement one year early because of its financial woes.
