Lauren Conrad’s Morning Meeting

Offering up a wave to paparazzi on the scene, Lauren Conrad got a bright and early start to her day in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday (August 12).

The Hills hottie was accompanied by her assistants, as the group slowly, but surely, made their way to visit an office building for a business meeting.

Meanwhile, LC recently cleared up rumors pairing her with My Boys actor Kyle Howard. When asked if a romance was in the works, she told Us magazine: “No. I know him, that’s it.”

Miss Conrad has also been busily designing a couture gown for the statuette passer-outers at the Emmy awards show on September 21st.

Enthused about getting such an opportunity, Conrad said: “It was a huge compliment to be asked to do that,” she says. “It’s amazing just to be taken seriously.”

Grading of CBSE schools likely this year

Assessment to be done in phases

It will help identify gaps in types of schools

CHENNAI: The grading of CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) schools based on a group ranking system might begin this academic session, said Ashok Ganguly, CBSE Board Chairman.

“If everything goes as planned, the grading system will start this academic session,” he said, speaking to presspersons at the inauguration of a regional-level CBSE science exhibition at the SBOA School and Junior College, here on Monday.

There was no comprehensive and systematic survey to evaluate learning and teaching at the primary and upper primary levels, said Mr. Ganguly. Gaps existed between the types of schools, such as government schools and Kendriya Vidyalayas and between regions such as Central and North-East.

Such a study would help to identify gaps and provide appropriate intervention, he said. Rather than rank schools individually, the grading system would group schools into grades, such as ‘A star’, ‘B’. The assessment, based on learning in mathematics, science and languages, would be done in phases, he said. The first assessment would be done at the primary level, in standard V and the next assessment after three years, in standard VIII.

Mr. Ganguly said that schools would need to become institutions of excellence to help students compete in an international arena. “We can become a knowledge society by 2020 only if the talent in every student is identified and nurtured.” Whatever be their talent, whether in sport, arts or sciences, a platform was necessary to showcase them.

The Ignite programme, an initiative by the CBSE and National Innovation Foundation to nurture creativity and innovation in students, was a step in this direction. The programme received 2,000 ideas from students, out of which 34 ideas were patented in 2008, he said.

In addition to having programmes for children, new pedagogy and teaching competencies need to be developed. In-service training programmes for teachers, not only in their subject areas but also to acquire in generic skills, were needed to constantly upgrade teaching competencies, he said.

Olympics: 3 down, 5 gold medals to go for swim sensation Michael Phelps

United States' Michael Phelps celebrates setting a new world record as he wins the gold medal in the men's 200-meter freestyle.

BEIJING - It was the race that derailed Michael Phelps in his bid for immortality four years ago.
This time, though, he owned it.
Swimming the third of his planned eight finals at the Beijing Olympics, the superstar blew away his competition in the 200-meter freestyle on Tuesday morning at the Water Cube, winning in world-record time once again and moving inexorably closer to breaking Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals in a single Olympics.
"I couldn't ask for anything else, so far,"
he said.
Phelps now has three gold medals and three world records here, equaling

the record of nine career Olympic golds after tearing nearly a second off the previous 200 freestyle record he
set at the world championships last year. He led from the moment he hit the water to roaring cheers, surfacing long after the rest of the field and powering his way to another victory.
"I wanted to try and get out into open water," he said, "and I was in the outside lane, so it was kind of difficult for the others to see me. I just wanted to get out there and try to hold on."
Try to hold on?
Phelps was under world-record pace all the way, finishing in 1 minute, 42.96 seconds and beating Korean silver medalist Park Taehwan by nearly two full seconds - an eternity in swimming. Park finished in 1:44.85, with American

Peter Vanderkaay in third at 1:45.14. Phelps was so dominating that a Korean reporter asked in the post-race press conference if there is anybody "in this planet" who can beat him.
"It's an honor to swim with that guy," South Africa's Jean Basson said after finishing fourth. "You just look at him in awe. To say you swim with him is amazing. . . . I have never seen an athlete like him before."
His domination was hardly unexpected; Phelps entered the race with by far the fastest time of the year.
But the 200 freestyle is the event in which he earned only bronze at the 2004 Athens Games behind Australia's Ian Thorpe and the Netherlands' Pieter van den Hoogenband. He acknowledged being motivated by that defeat, and avenging the loss clears the way for his continued pursuit of Spitz, who won seven gold medals at the 1972 Munich Games.
Not that he wanted to talk about that, though.
"I take one race at a time," he said, laughing off another question about his record pursuit. "That's the only thing I can do right now. Two possible relays coming up and still seven more individual swims, the only thing I can do is take one race at a time."
Especially because the next test might be among his toughest.
For the only time, Phelps must swim two finals on Wednesday, in the 200 butterfly that he is expected to dominate - he's the defending world and Olympic champion, as well as the longtime world-record holder - and the 4x200 freestyle relay. It's his busiest day within a schedule that has him perpetually trying to eat and sleep whenever he can in order to recover from his seemingly endless run of races.
"I've been eating a lot of pizza and pasta," he said. "A lot of carbs."
