A major trade coming between Redskins and Eagles?
When Chip Kelly was coaching the Oregon Ducks, the offense moved at a speed unlike much college football had seen. At the helm of Kelly's most prolific teams was quarterback Marcus Mariota. Kelly, now coaching the Eagles, may be interested in reuniting with Mariota, who will be a top pick in May's NFL Draft. Since the Eagles hold the No. 20 draft pick, odds are Mariota will be long gone, and Kelly's team needs to move way up in the draft.

Mexico image under fire from Hollywood, Holy See
Mexico's international image is taking a beating these days, even from two worlds that rarely see eye-to-eye: The Holy See and Hollywood. President Enrique Pena Nieto was already struggling with falling approval ratings, relentless drug violence and a conflict of interest scandal when Pope Francis and an Oscar winner chimed in this week. In recent months, Mexico has faced international outrage and regular protests over the disappearance and alleged slaughter of 43 college students at the hands of a police-backed gang in September. Germany's federal commissioner for human rights policy, Christoph Straesser, met with parents of the victims in Guerrero state on Wednesday and said his country suspended arms sales to Mexico because German guns were apparently used in the attack on the students.

Don't Even Bother Trying to Get Into Nursing School
In a report (pdf) released Wednesday by the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce, researchers showed that bachelor's of nursing programs rejected 37 percent of applicants who were qualified to get in during the 2011-2012 admissions cycle. For associate's degree programs, the number is even higher: 51 percent of qualified applications weren't approved. Nursing schools simply can't expand fast enough to accommodate all of the good candidates they're getting. As a result, tens of thousands of students who complete the required coursework and earned the minimum GPA to get into nursing programs aren't accepted, the study shows.

NYC trucker accused of avoiding toll with device inspired by James Bond
By Barbara Goldberg NEW YORK (Reuters) - A trucker accused of using a James Bond-style retractable bumper to evade a $95 toll on the George Washington Bridge has been charged with using burglary tools, police said on Thursday. Hauling a load of candy across the bridge toward New York City on Wednesday, Pablo Ortega flipped a switch on his dashboard as he approached the toll gates over the Hudson River. This makes it unreadable to the EZ-Pass reader," Pentangelo said, referring to the electronic device that collects the toll from vehicles at the bridge entrance at Fort Lee, New Jersey. The Port Authority, which operates the bridge, charges a $95 toll for an 18-wheeler crossing the Hudson into upper Manhattan.
