Huffington Post: Parents Protest The 'Burden' Of English-Learners On Capo Schools - San Juan Capistrano, CA Patch

Posted: 29 Apr 2013 09:31 AM PDT

The 200 or so English-learner students at Marblehead Elementary in San Clemente are an unfair burden on the teachers, parents and students who live in the neighborhoods surrounding the suburban school, parents told the Capistrano Unified school board Wednesday.

In response, Trustee Anna Bryson said she was concerned that too many English learners are coming in with such a limited vocabulary that parents need to be taught to speak to their children.

Four moms whose children go to Marblehead say that students bussed in from the Las Palmas Elementary attendance boundaries and a predominately Hispanic neighborhood within Marblehead's territory are "stressing" teachers and parents alike. One even said she would probably be taking her twin first graders to another school come fall.

Huffington Post: Sexy Wedding Dresses From Designers' Spring/Summer 2014 Collections (PHOTOS)

Posted: 28 Apr 2013 09:33 AM PDT

Couture bridal designers showed their Spring/Summer 2014 collections in New York last weekend, and while most of the dresses were absolutely stunning and perfect for any wedding, there were a few dresses that caught our eye for another reason -- their sex appeal.

While many brides will have their grandparents and other older, possibly more conservative, family members present on their wedding days -- and therefore choose more subdued gowns -- some brides are looking for a sexier option. If you fall into the second category, you'll love the dresses below.

Click through to see the seven sexiest wedding dresses of the season, then let us know in the comments -- would you wear one on your Big Day?

Huffington Post: 'Iron Man 3' Box Office Soars Overseas; Robert Downey Jr. Sequel Bigger Than 'Marvel's The Avengers'

Posted: 28 Apr 2013 09:38 AM PDT

He is Iron Man for a reason. Behind Robert Downey Jr. and the red and gold suit he wears as Iron Man, "Iron Man 3" grossed an estimated $195.3 million from 42 international territories over the weekend, putting it ahead of the pace set by "Marvel's The Avengers," also with Downey in a lead role, last year.

According to Disney, "Iron Man 3" had the biggest opening weekend ever in Argentina, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. The film earned $21.5 million in the United Kingdom, $19.2 million in Korea, $18.4 million in Australia, $16.1 million in Mexico and $14.7 million in France. The $195.3 million is more than $100 million more than "Iron Man 2" made during its international bow in 2010. That film, however, was not released in 3D -- though the extra dimension does account for the massive global interest in Tony Stark's latest adventure.

"The surprise is the magnitude of this opening, not necessarily that audiences are responding to the movie," Disney distribution executive Dave Hollis said in a statement to Variety. "We believe this [opening] to be a strong indication of what will lead to extraordinary word-of-mouth worldwide."

Huffington Post: Latinos In Foster Care Reach Historic High

Posted: 28 Apr 2013 09:43 AM PDT

A historic number of Hispanic children are in the country's foster care system, a dramatic change brought on by immigration and the assimilation of a growing Latino population into American society.

The record increase is in part also caused by families breaking apart by divorce or separations caused by incarcerations or deportations of one or both parents.

The startling phenomenon was documented by the child and youth welfare group that operates under the name The Chronicle of Social Change.
