Danielle M. George All Headline News, Staff Writer Beijing, China (AHN)- Like clockwork, every Monday morning, Jin and a group of her friends meet in a park in Beijing to practice their favorite activity - break-dancing. Her friends call her "Auntie Cool". "Auntie Cool" is just one of the growing number of senior citizens in China. The UN predicts that by 2030, China will have 236m over-65s - and that by 2050, senior citizens will make up a quarter of the entire population. Jin is the kind of role model Chinese authorities were trying to find when they put on the first national beauty contest for the elderly, the Silver-Aged Beauty Contest. The Silver-Aged Beauty Contest has energized and mobilized thousands of senior citizens throughout the country. Six thousand older Chinese have battled through regional contests to win the honor of traveling to the capital for the final. Jin has an advantage over the competition having already earned the title of Image Ambassador for the Chinese Elderly and the Most Trendy award. To Jin this competition is just one example of how the elderly population can do their part as citizens of China. "Keeping an active, healthy and spiritually satisfied older population means better prospects for the country and economy. " Despite suffering from diabetes, Jin is at the forefront of a new cultural revolution in China that has been sweeping through her generation in recent years. A retired factory worker, she has forged a new career in her golden years as a dance teacher and elderly fashion model.

New York (AHN)- A Bronx teacher allegedly paid a former homeless man $2 dollars to take and pass his state exam. Rubin Leitner, 58, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, did so well on the test that authorities became suspicious. According to local authorities Wayne Brightly, 38, allegedly coerced Leitner to get a fake state identification card that showed Leitner's photo with Brightly's name. He then used the ID, to obtain a school ID card to use on test day. The two men met in the late 1980's as students at Brooklyn College, after a chance meeting in the alumni office Leitner began to tutor the teacher. While Leitner and Brightly are old acquaintances it would be rare for authorities to mistake one for the other. Leitner is a heavyset-Caucasian male and Brightly is a slender-African-American male. Leitner is also 20 years older. After the high exam score, the state became suspicious of Brightly's passing score. Brightly sent Leitner to meet with officials, however the cover-up was unsuccessful. Brightly has pleaded innocent to coercion, falsifying business records and other crimes. He has been taken out of his Baychester classroom pending the outcome of the case. Of the 19,000 teachers across the state that take the certification exam about 95% pass.
