...four Advanced Placement (AP) exams. The College Board—the organization that administers tests like the SAT and AP exams—announced earlier this month that it will cancel four AP tests after the 2008-2009 school year: AP Latin Literature, AP French Literature, AP Computer Science AB, and AP Italian.

Roughly a hundred tourists a year are driven away in an Amsterdam ambulance after mushroom consumption.
