America's Top School Districts
Across America, these are the best metro areas for primary and secondary education. Forbes ranks the top 20 districts in the country. With 90% of children enrolled in one of the city's 1,035 public schools (the other 10% are in private schools), a public library system offering 10,650,133 books, and some of the country's most acclaimed undergraduate and graduate programs, it's no wonder Washington-Arlington is ranked at the top of its class. Other top districts include Madison, WI, Cambridge/Newton, MA, Baltimore/Towson, MD and Akron, OH.

Hollywood's Most Influential Infants

To determine which tykes were tops, Forbes looked at both Web presence and press clippings for more than 50 A-list offspring (5 years old and younger) over the course of a year. Then, with a whittled-down list, they reached out to E-Poll Market Research for both awareness data for the kids and consumer-appeal rankings for their celebrity parents. Among the top 10 are Anna Nicole Smith's Dannilynn, The Beckham's Romeo, Britney & K. Fed's Sean Preston, Suri Cruise and topping the list was Shiloh Pitt-Jolie.

Biggest Celebrity Paydays of 2007
Most of us can't recall what we made in a single day. But these aren't ordinary days for the members of this list. June 7, for example, was the single highest earning payday in the life of drug dealer-turned-rapper Curtis "50 Cent". He earned an estimated $100 million when Coca-Cola bought Vitaminwater maker Glaceau which he owned a large stake in. But that was only the 2nd biggest payday of the year. The top belonged to George Lucas who on May 24 earned $200 million when toymaker Hasbro paid him to buy back stock warrants.
