Immigration Controversy Could Drive Up College Costs
The University of Central Missouri is one of many higher-education institutions to express support for its Muslim students after President Donald Trump's executive order restricting travel by people from seven predominantly Muslim countries.
Like many of the rest, it has reasons for feeling apprehensive that are not solely about empathy.
The university hosted more than 3,700 international students last year, most of them paying full tuition that helps subsidize domestic students. Losing even a portion of those - something there are signs may already be starting to happen nationwide - would have a significant financial impact that could ultimately drive up costs for Americans.

Brazil qualify for 2018 World Cup after Coutinho and Neymar down Paraguay
Brazil have become the first team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup maintaining their proud record as the tournament's only ever-present side with a little help from Lionel Messi's foul mouth and lightly regarded Peru. The five-times champions beat Paraguay 3-0 on Tuesday for their eighth successive win in the South American qualifying competition. That in itself was not enough to confirm their participation in Russia but Peru's surprise 2-1 win over Uruguay in a later game guaranteed Brazil a top-four finish.

Solar-powered 'skin' could make prosthetics more real
Many people try to stay out of the sun. But if a new type of solar-powered electronic skin makes its way onto prosthetics, wearers will definitely want those rays shining on their limbs.
Researchers are already working to create smart skin that embeds sensors that mimic the tactile feedback of human skin, making it possible for amputees to feel pressure, temperature and even dampness. But how to power the futuristic material?
A team from the University of Glasgow in the UK has come up with a version that harnesses the sun's rays. Because it produces its own energy from a natural source, the engineers say, the electronic skin would operate longer than similar materials powered by batteries or tethered to a power source that would also limit portability, clearly a key feature of any everyday prosthetic or touch-sensitive robot on the go.

Channel 4 'could move out of London'
Proposals on whether to move Channel 4 out of London will be considered as part of a government consultation. Plans to privatise the TV company have been shelved but where it spends its money is also under review Culture Secretary Karen Bradley has announced.

Ms Bradley will outline the consultation plans at the Nations and Regions Media Conference in Salford on Wednesday.

President Trump climbs into an 18-wheeler and pretends to be a trucker
That's the role the president briefly assumed Thursday when he climbed into the drivers seat of a Mack 18-wheeler parked on the South Lawn of the White House.
Trump, who wore an "I Love Trucks" button on his lapel, tried his best to emulate a truck driver: He enthusiastically pumped his fists, made a series of facial expressions that lit up the Twittersphere, and excitedly tooted the big rig's horn at least six times.
And Trump clearly didn't run out of gas: following his spirited session of trucker role play, he met with truckers and CEOs from the American Trucking Association to discuss healthcare.

NYC apartment featuring David Bowie's piano on the market for $6.5 million
The chance to play the late David Bowie's piano while enjoying unobstructed views of Central Park in a New York City apartment could be yours for $6.495 million. A three-bedroom two-and-a-half-bath apartment once owned by Bowie and his wife Iman went on the market on Monday. The couple sold the apartment located in the Essex House on Central Park South in 2002 10 years after they wed. Bowie's Yamaha piano was included in the 2002 sale and has remained in the apartment ever since. The current sellers who did not buy the apartment from Bowie and Iman are keeping the tradition alive by including the piano in the listing price. "I would imagine it is hard to move but I think it's really a great catch for buyers the apartment's exclusive agent, Bernice Leventhal of the Corcoran Group, told ABC News. The 1,877-square-foot home is used as a pied-à-terre by its current owners. It features a limestone foyer, walk-in closet, two master-sized bedrooms and a master bath with a rain shower and heated floors.

When an applicant to the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health got an email on Wednesday saying it was "delighted to welcome" her, she said she was overcome with euphoria.
She began sobbing, and her body shook.
"I couldn't even control my body," said the applicant, a 23-year-old for whom Columbia was the No. 1 choice. "My teeth even started chattering. I didn't even know that could happen."
That jubilation lasted only about 75 minutes, however, as a second email arrived informing her - and 276 other prospective students - that the acceptance notices had been sent in error.

Michelle Pfeiffer says she's 'more open' to work now that her children are grown
Michelle Pfeiffer is juggling a much busier schedule these days. Speaking with director Darren Aronofsky for Interview magazine she said her Hollywood career was put on the back burner after she had children but she's now ready to get back in the game. "I've never lost my love for acting. I feel really at home on the movie set. I'm a more balanced person honestly when I'm working Pfeiffer told Aronofsky. But I was pretty careful about where I shot how long I was away whether or not it worked with the kids' schedule. And I got so picky that I was unhirable." She's now an "empty nester she said; her daughter Claudia Rose Pfeiffer is 24 and son John Henry Kelley is 22. This has given her the ability to take on more roles. This year, she'll be seen in HBO's The Wizard of Lies" alongside Robert De Niro Aronofsky's "Mother!" and an adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express which will also star Johnny Depp, Josh Gad and Penelope Cruz.

'Walking Dead' star Lauren Cohan on season 7 finale: 'It's heartbreaking'
Lauren Cohan who has played farm girl-turned-fighter Maggie since season 2 of "The Walking Dead isn't giving away any spoilers for the season 7 finale. But she does acknowledge that it will be heartbreaking." "You're certainly in for a lot of emotion she told HarpersBazaar.com in a new interview. [It's] incredibly bittersweet beautiful and heartbreaking." As any fan of the show knows AMC's zombie apocalypse drama has always been heartbreaking -- evidenced in this season's premiere when two of the show's beloved cast members fell victim to Negan played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. As always the cast held a traditional sendoff or so called "death dinner for their fallen cast members. It's funny when I stop to think about calling them death dinners. It's such a frequent part of our lingo that I forget how absurd it is like spying on your own funeral Cohan explained. We've had some of our best nights together at them. There's always a lot of tears but we also have bonfires and play games and get to tell the family member leaving how much we love them -- and you know completely embarrass them."

Toronto Cancels U.S. Class Trips Due To Trump Travel Ban Concerns
Canada's largest school board has barred all future field trips to the United States because of concerns that some students could get caught up in President Donald Trump's travel ban. And a girls chorus in California just became the latest U.S. institution to ditch an overseas trip for the same reason.
The Toronto District School Board wrote in a letter to principals Thursday that its decision was passed unanimously at a meeting held the previous night, amid concerns for protecting student safety and embracing values of equity and inclusion. Trustees also feared that border problems could scuttle trips at the last minute for students who often fundraise for many months to pay for travel.

The Teacher Shortage Crisis Is Here
As students headed back to school this year in and around Tampa, Florida, thousands of teacher positions had yet to be filled. It followed a year in which tens of thousands of teachers were hired on emergency or temporary credentials to help fill empty slots around the country - 900 of them in Oklahoma alone.

The teacher shortage crisis is here, at least according to a new report from the Learning Policy Institute, and it stands to get worse.

Trump targets tech's H-1B visa hiring tool
SAN FRANCISCO - President Trump's relationship with Silicon Valley has always been volatile at best, but it seems things soon may get even more contentious.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai was among the first to condemn the order, noting that it impacted nearly 200 employees, risking stranding some abroad.
Administration officials have drafted a new executive order aimed at overhauling, among other things, the H-1B work-visa program that technology companies have long relied on to bring top foreign engineering talent to their U.S.-based locations.

Why Superman is missing in the 'Justice League' trailer
After the full "Justice League" trailer dropped on Saturday many fans had one major question: "Where is Superman?" Some said the clip which features the likes of Batman the Flash Aquaman and Wonder Woman isn't complete without the Man of Steel. Although he hasn't yet made an appearance in the "Justice League" trailers (the first one was released last year at Comic-Con) Henry Cavill who plays Superman is listed on IMDB in the "Justice League" cast. So he's coming back somehow. Furthermore the clip from this weekend was the first to feature Amy Adams who plays Clark Kent's love interest Lois Lane. If you recall from "Batman v Superman the Flash travels back in time and mentions Lois is the key to something. Another teaser at the end of Dawn of Justice" was the floating dirt on Superman's grave. This was director Zack Snyder's best effort to tell fans he's most definitely coming back. Snyder so far has been mum about these important details. Snyder did however speak to USA Today over the weekend and touched on the imminent comeback of one of the greatest heroes in comic book history. "It's hard to have a 'Justice League' without Superman. That's how I feel about it he said. It was always a super-intriguing concept to me to have this opportunity to have him make that sacrifice but also have him be this in a weird sort of way the why of 'Justice League:' What do you do now with him? What does the team think? What does the world need? All that comes into play. It's fun for us but it'll be interesting for audiences what we do with him."

Solar-Powered.... Skin?
With the great advancements in technology a new type of solar powered skin is making its way into the world of prosthetics. Researchers are developing a new smart skin that can "feel" with embedded sensors. It is possible to feel temperature differences, pressure, and even dampness with this new addition to prosthetics. The "solar" part of this new technology comes in when trying to power it. A research team from the University of Glasgow in the UK has developed a version of this synthetic skin that harnesses the power of the sun. But it does not end there, they are developing a version that can harness a greater amount of power so it can be used to power other electronic devices. Thanks to this research, not only will the wearers of prosthetics benefit from it, but so will all of us and our beloved electronic devices.
