Fergie Concert Tickets
Singer Fergie watches the Boston Celtics play
Paul McCartney plays a free charity concert in Kiev
McCartney rocks KievTens of thousands of people braved thunderstorms Saturday night to see Paul McCartney perform a charity concert on Kiev's Independence Square.
The outdoor show, the first in Ukraine for the former Beatle, was billed as the biggest concert ever in the former Soviet republic. It was broadcast live on national television and on giant screens in five cities.
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili was among those in attendance.
The concert was free, but organizers asked for donations from businessmen and others to help buy diagnostic equipment for Ukraine's National Cancer Institute's children's department. More than 500 people have contributed a total of about $600,000, and donations were continuing to come in, organizers said.

Majority of B.C. students exceed expectations, exam results show
Results from provincial tests in reading, writing and math suggest that more than two-thirds of B.C. students in Grades 4 and 7 are meeting or exceeding educational expectations, Education Minister Shirley Bond said Friday.
"There is still more work to be done to ensure that all students meet these expectations," she said while releasing the 2008 results from the tests, known as the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA).
Girls continue to outperform boys in all subjects and non-aboriginal students do better than aboriginal students, the release says. More students participated in the FSA this year than last, despite a vigourous campaign by the B.C. Teachers' Federation (BCTF) encouraging parents to withdraw their students.
The union opposes the tests because teachers say they cause unnecessary stress for students and do not contribute to learning. As well, they don't like the tests because the Fraser Institute uses the results every year to rank elementary schools.
"While I am very encouraged that more students wrote the FSA this year, the results confirm what we have said all along - we have work to do," Bond says in the release. "The focus now is to work with districts to help individual students."
This year's tests were administered in February and individual results were sent to parents in March.
Results for individual schools and districts are available at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/reporting/achieve/fsa-bas.php

UNISWA results in three weeks
Students of the University of Swaziland can brace themselves for more suspense as it has been established that their final examination results will be out in three weeks' time.
Several concerned students have been calling this publication to establish the date for the release of their exam results at the country’s institution of higher learning.
UNISWA Registrar (Corporate Affairs) told the Weekend Observer that external examiners have already left the country after checking the examination papers.
“At the moment, faculty boards are meeting to discuss and make an assessment of the examination papers. Thereafter, Senate will meet and approve the results. This is going to happen next week, and it is only then that the results will be released. Students must rest assured; they will be informed of the date of the release of the results. We are still processing them,” said Gama.
Senate will meet for a day or two next week, which means the results will be out the following week.
The Registrar further disclosed that UNISWA students behaved very well during the May examinations as not even a single student was caught copying.
Said Gama: “We commend the good behaviour this time. No student was caught cheating in the May exams. However, two students were caught copying during the December examinations at the Mbabane Campus.”
After the release of the results, students who did not do well will have to take the supplementary examinations sometime in July.
The next academic year resumes on August 14, 2008.
It is not clear whether the university will reintroduce the infamous semesterisation programme next academic year.
In April, the Supreme Court of Appeal interdicted the university from implementing the semesterisation programme this current academic year after a protracted legal battle between the Student Representative Council (SRC) and the administration.
However, the Court Order does not restrict the institution from reintroducing the semesterisation programme next academic year.

College Admissions Go Online in Mumbai
Students seeking admission in first year junior college (and their parents) can breathe a sigh of relief. Now they will not have to go about visiting every college to get the admission forms, at least in Maharashtra.
The state government of Maharashtra has a launched a new website 'www.mumbaiapplication.com' that will offer online admission form submission facility for first year junior college across over 500 colleges that are affiliated to the University of Mumbai, reports IANS.
Students will have to create an account to get started with filling the admission applications online. The registration will include the personal details that are usually asked by the college, which will save the hassle of typing the details every time while filling the form. The system will auto-complete information in the application as you type.
In addition, if the student has passed SSC from Maharashtra Board this year, they will only need to submit their seat number of the SSC exam, after which their name, caste, and marks will be automatically picked up from the SSC results. For other boards, students will have to enter the data manually, as well as also upload scanned images of their marklists and school leaving certificates.
After registration, students can select the colleges of their choice and pay the application fees online itself. A online receipt of the payment made will be sent through email as well as on the mobile phone mentioned in the registration form.
However, those who still want to follow the traditional process can go ahead and follow the manual process of scurrying from one college to another followed by standing in queues for submission of their application forms.
