A nationally aired, 2007 "Independent Lens" documentary about the adventures of student journalists on Penn State University's Daily Collegian staff provides an inside look at the production of a student newspaper at one of the largest universities in the country.1 A prominent storyline in the film involved the paper's coverage of an incident of racially motivated harassment of African American students and its aftermath. According to the Knight Foundation report, only 13 percent of news publications in 2005 had achieved parity.13 Although the nationwide study found that newsroom diversity did increase by an average of four percent yearly, community diversity increased by 10 percent yearly; thus, parity remained in deficit.
DoD, GSA, and NASA have adopted as final, with changes, the interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement a section of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 that clarifies that there is no order of precedence among the small business socioeconomic contracting programs.

Interest Rate Parity is a theory that exchange rates are determined between two currencies based on the interest rate prevailing in those two countries. This paper examines and does an empirical test of interest rate parity between the United States and selected emerging Asian economies, which includes Philippines, India, Singapore, Thailand, Korea, Pakistan and Malaysia. Each one of these Asian economies is paired with the United States and the actual forward exchange rate is compared with the projected exchange rate based on interest rate parity. The null hypothesis states that actual forward exchange rates are equal to the projected forward exchange rate. If the null hypothesis is accepted, then we conclude that interest rate parity holds. Based on t-test for equal means, if the null...
One word can sum up the 2011 thoroughbred racing year in a nutshell, and that word is parity. No one horse took control of any major division or is a shoe-in for top laurels this year. The Triple Crown campaign saw a different horse win each of the three races, and the Breeders' Cup Classic gave us a horse who last won a big race 17 months prior. Let's take a look at how the year unfolded, month by month, via our year-end review. January: Gulfstream Park unveils a brand new multirace betting menu wherein you can end the day with five different types of wagers, including a Daily Double, Pick-3, Pick-4 and Pick-5 all the way to a newfangled 10-cent Pick-Six wager, called the Rainbow Six.
