Latino High School Graduation Rates Up 10%
More Latinos are graduating from high school than they were nearly a d <a href={url}>{keyword}</a> ecade ago, according to a new study by the U.S. Department of Education.
According to the report done by the National Center for Education Statistics, Hispanic students graduated at a rate of 71 percent in 2010. That is a striking jump from 2006, when the rate was 61 percent.
The national rate is 78 percent and the rate for white students is 83 percent. African Americans have the lowest rate at 66 percent while Asians graduated at a rate of 93 percent.
It’s promising that high school graduation rates are up for all ethnic groups in 2010 – especially for Hispanics, whose graduation rate has jumped almost 10 points since 2006.- Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
<a href={url}>{keyword}</a> “The is good news,†Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a statement. “It’s promising that high school graduation rates are up for all ethnic groups in 2010 – especially for Hispanics, whose graduation rate has jumped almost 10 points since 2006.â€
Still, Duncan said, Latinos have a long way to go.
"The trends are hopeful but our high school dropout rate is still unsustainably high and it's untenable in many of our African-American and Latino communities,†he said. “We have a long way to go here."
Jack Buckley, Commissioner for the NCES, said while Latinos are performing better, the numbers are also up because more people are identifying themselves as Hispanic.
“The population of students has changed and there are more identifying themselves as Latinos,†Buckley said.
Buckley pointed to California as an example of the improvements among Latinos. About 59 percent of Latinos in that state graduated in 2006, a number that climbed to 71 percent four years later.
According to Buckley, half of California’s 4th graders identify themselves as Latino. He said the economy could be the reason for the improved scores.
“One thing that we see across the country in general is that graduation rates goes up when the economy goes down,†said Buckley.
There’s a reason why education goes up when the economy tanks.
"If you drop out of high school, how many good jobs are there out there for you? None,†Duncan said.†That wasn't true 10 or 15 years ago."
Graduation rates increased by more than a percentage point in 38 states between 2009 and 2010, the study found. Only the District of Columbia saw its graduation rates decline between by greater than a perc <a href={url}>{keyword}</a> entage point during those years.

Yankees' Alex Rodriguez Has Surgery, Out Until After All-Star Break
It has not been a great start to the 2013 season for the New York Yankees – and players have not even started reporting to spring training yet.
Third baseman Alex Rodriguez had surgery on his left hip Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined until after the All-Star break.
The New York Yankees said Dr. Bryan Kelly, Rodriguez's surgeon, repaired a torn labrum and impingement and the operation at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York "went as planned and without complication."
The 37-year-old Dominican-American former All-Star is expected to be released from the hospital on Thursday <a href={url}>{keyword}</a> and the anticipated time for a full recovery is six months. The Yankees signed free agent Kevin Youkilis this offseason to play third base while Rodriguez is out.
"Hopefully his surgery went well and he gets back as soon as possible," Yankees captain Derek Jeter said in Tampa, Fla. "I don't know the details of how it usually takes, but you just want to make sure he's healthy."
Kelly said last week that Rodriguez had a condition known as femoral acetabular impingement and it was caused by genes, not by steroids. Rodriguez admitted in 2009 that he used steroids while with the Texas Rangers from 2001-03.
Kelly said the injury was responsible for Rodriguez's poor performance in September and October, when A-Rod was benched in three of nine postseason games and pinch hit for in three others. He batted .120 (3 for 25) with no RBIs in the playoffs, including 0 for 18 with 12 strikeouts against right-handed pitchers.
Rodriguez is due $114 million over the next five years as part of his record $275 million, 10-year contract, so his health is a major concern for the Yankees.
Des <a href={url}>{keyword}</a> cribing the bone meeting the socket, Kelly said "we'r <a href={url}>{keyword}</a> e basically taking an egg-shaped femoral head and through the use of a camera, a motorized burr and Fluoroscopic imaging, we're reshaping the bone to a predetermined shape."
A 14-time All-Star, Rodriguez had right hip surgery on March 9, 2009, and returned that May 8. Kelly said the left hip requires more recovery time because Rodriguez is a right-handed hitter and rotates it when he swings.

On the first Saturday of each month, Life Arts taps into the many questions received andanswered by the staff of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. A sampling:Q: How do the Amish celebrate Christmas?A: Their holiday usually lacks Christmas trees, Santa Claus, children in newoutfits and exterior lights and glittery displays — and sometimes even gifts, according to a storypublished before the 2011 holiday by the Detroit Free Press and USA Today. Their traditions do include food and cheer, and stories and discussions aboutthe religious meaning of Christmas, among members of extended families. In keeping with the Amishway, they celebrate a simple Christmas — an about-fa <a href={url}>{keyword}</a> ce from the excess in many other households.Their holiday dinner, meanwhile, typically involves turkey and sometimes what is called “Christmaspudding,†or a layered mixture of cream cheese with red <a href={url}>{keyword}</a> and green gelatin.(Source: “No fanfare for Christmas among Amish,†)Q: Why are typewriter key <a href={url}>{keyword}</a>s placed as they are?A: In 1867, Christopher Sholes invented the first typewriter in Milwaukee. Earlyprototypes had the keys in alphabetical order, often prompting the jamming of adjacent keys. Sholesconceived the “QWERTY†pattern still used — placing the most-struck letters far away from oneanother. Computer keyboards, of course, don’t pose a jamming problem, but, because so many millionsof people know the pattern, any change is considered unnecessary.( World Book Encyclopedia)
