South Bend Tribune: Smart vs. cool: Schooled by culture, race and ethnicity (snip) But a few miles away at Hyde Middle School, in the heavily Asian Cupertino Union School District, Tiffany Nguyen detects the opposite attitude.

I'm sure that many of our readers are devout followers. So I guess this one's for you lot. From the South Bend Tribune: "In life, you've got to think like the rook," Antwon explains as he sets up for another game. "He can go anywhere, backward or forward, but only in a straight direction.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Political candidates often go door-to-door to learn about the people in their district. But political databases can often tell candidates a lot more about voters, such as where they stand on hot button issues and their voting history.
