Norfolk, VA, February 09, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Iris Kim, a graduating senior at Norfolk Academy, has been named one of more than 3,000 candidates in the 2012 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. The candidates were selected from nearly 3.2 million students expected to graduate from U.S. high schools in the year 2012. Being one of these approximately 3000 students puts Ms. Kim among the top 0.1% of graduating seniors nationwide.

The 3,000 candidates were selected for their exceptional performance on either the College Board SAT or the ACT Assessment. In addition, each Chief State School Officer (CSSO) was invited to nominate one male and one female candidate, based on their outstanding scholarship, residing in the CSSO’s jurisdiction. Further consideration is based on students’ essays, self-assessments, descriptions of activities, school recommendations, and school transcripts. A distinguished panel of educators will review these submissions and select 500 semifinalists in early April.

The Commission on Presidential Scholars, a group of some 32 eminent citizens appointed by the President, will make final selection of the Scholars. They will select one young man and one young woman from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. students living abroad; 15 students at-large; and up to 20 students from the creative and performing arts. The U.S. Department of Education will announce the Scholars in May.

Scholars will be invited to Washington, DC, for several days in June to receive the Presidential Scholars Medallion at a recognition ceremony and to participate in events and activities with their elected representatives, educators, and other leading individuals in public life.

Iris is the daughter of Beyung and Nosuk Kim, and can be reached through Norfolk Academy’s Director of Communications, Betsy Guzik, at bguzik@norfolkacademy.org or 757.461.6236, ext. 5112.

For more information about the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, parents and students can call the U.S. Presidential Scholars Office at 319/341-2PSP (319/341-2777), or send an email to PSP@act.org.

Reporting from Beirut— Two judicial officials were assassinated Sunday in barbour jackets Idlib province, and the strife-riven nation faced what could be a critical week, almost a year after the bloody rebellion erupted against the government of President Bashar Assad. Authorities said "an armed terrorist group" in Idlib city opened fire on a car carrying a judge, Mohammed Ziyadeh, and a prosecutor, Nidalhttp://www.shopbarbourjackets.com Ghazal. Also killed was the driver, said the official Syrian Arab News Agency.An opposition activist reached in Idlib contradicted the official version and said Syrian security forces killed the pair because they were cooperating with antigovernment rebels active in the northwestern region, close to the border withTurkey. Assassinations by unknown assailants have become a familiar feature of the conflict in Syria, where armed insurgents are fighting to barbour quilted jacketoust Assad, whose family has ruled the country for more than 40 years. On Saturday, the state news agency reported, gunmen assassinated a member of the city council in the northern municipality of Aleppo, a business hub that is regarded as staunchly pro-Assad.In various areas of Syria, the www.officialbarbourshop.comgovernment has been fighting to recapture terrain lost to rebels. The opposition said insurgent enclaves in the western city of Homs were shelled again Sunday, as reports circulated that ground troops might be preparing an assault on the besieged rebel bastion of Bab Amr. The Local Coordination Committees, an opposition coalition, reported at least 20 killed Sunday across the country, including nine in barbour coats Homs. The numbers could not be independently confirmed because of restrictions on media access in Syria. Despite the ongoing violence and threat of a full-fledged civil war, Assad has scheduled a nationwide referendum for Sunday on a new drafthttp://www.barbourjacketsshop.com constitution that is a centerpiece of his asserted reform agenda. Much of the opposition has rejected the move as a stalling tactic and called for a boycott.

Steven Rattner, who advised Obama on the bailout, barbour jacketssaid Romney’s course would have immediately led to “an economic meltdown of proportions we have not seen in this country.” That would include a “deep, deep depression in Michigan,” affecting car factories, the suppliers that feed them, and even day-care centers and bars used by millions of workers, he said. “If the advice that he had prescribed in November of 2008 had been followed by either the Bush administration or the Obama administration, http://www.shopbarbourjackets.comwe would have today no auto industry, no Detroit, no state of Michigan -- no exaggeration,” Rattner said in an interview. “Both administrations concluded there was no such thing possible as a managed bankruptcy.” Romney defends his position that the government shouldn’t have provided direct help to the car companies, and advocated it anew in a Feb. 14 op-ed in the Detroit News that called Obama’s management barbour quilted jacketof the bailout “crony capitalism on a grand scale.” He charged that the president hampered the auto industry’s recovery by using the rescue to enrich union supporters, even as he went along with the restructuring Romney had suggested. “The course I recommended was eventually followed,” Romney wrote, noting that GM and Chrysler quickly emerged from bankruptcy in mid-2009. The piece drew www.officialbarbourshop.comcriticism from Mike Jackson, chief executive officer of AutoNation Inc., the largest auto-dealer group in the U.S., who called it “truly reckless, detached from reality, and dishonest,” as well as “very bad politics, especially in Michigan.” Jackson, who has been a Romney advocate, said in an e-mail to Bloomberg News the assertion that private financing should have been used to fund GM barbour coatsand Chrysler bankruptcies was “fantasy,” adding, “Everyone knows we were in the midst of the greatest financial meltdown since the 1930s.” Some Republican strategists believe Romney’s argument could resonate with bailout-weary voters in Michigan and other industrial states such as Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, who are suspicious http://www.barbourjacketsshop.comof government intervention even as they are pleased with the outcome of the automobile rescue.
