My parents paid my tuition. I had a scholarship that paid for my courses, but not my books, student fees, parking pass, etc. My parents paid for those. Had I never received a scholarship, they would've paid for the balance.
Not sure if those studies take into account the issues of scholarship. By virtue of a student earning a scholarship, the parents were not directly putting in as much money toward their kids' higher education. And by having a scholarship, it's a pretty good chance you were gonna do pretty well scholastically.

The first thing that came to mind for me was "But how does that correlate with graduation rates?" because there is a mass of data showing that the main reason college students drop out of school is lack of money. And sure enough:
the study found a positive association (even controlling for other factors) between increased parental contributions and graduation over five years. In an interview, Hamilton said that she explained this finding (even if apparently contradictory with the results on grades) because those with minimal levels of parental support have a much more difficult job paying for college, and those who can't pay, can't graduate. "Kids who don't have funds, they don't stay," she said.
Anecdotally, I think students do best if they have some vested interest in their own success but are not burdened with a lot of obligation.

I have not read the article in detail, just skimmed over it. I have to completely disagree with this. My parents paid entire educational expenses for all their children and everyone had at least a master's degree. We did get assistantships for schools for graduate work, which paid for all the graduate level expenses. My brother pays for his son's college expenses (all of it) and there is no sign that the kid will drop out. When parents emphasize the importance of good education since childhood, there is not much chance of the kid not completing a degree, regardless of who pays for the education. If the kid values education, he/she will complete the degree. It does not have to do with the 'blank check' this researcher is talking about.
I find even the topic of this study rather meaningless, and I don't believe she is right in her conclusion. I have not looked at the details of her work, so I don't know what segments of society she was looking at.
I think the most important thing is that you don't squander your time in college. I know I pick my classes more carefully now that I'm paying my own way through a certificate. (Although I don't have to do any GE classes because I already have a bachelor's.)
My parents paid for most of my tuition and I'm incredibly grateful for it. I know how lucky I am, and how much money that was. I didn't choose to party over attending classes. For some kids who have no idea how much money college costs, it's easy to see how they could spend all their time partying. My grades weren't stellar, but I still insist I was not smart enough to go to my alma mater in the first place. But I'm doing pretty ok in life.
Also, in addition to correlating support with graduation rates, the study is also looking at who pays the student's tuition and its relationship to the student's grades. You can get lower than average grades and still graduate.
And the data were drawn from three longitudinal federal studies, so I don't think the study focused only on one "segment of society". It's good that the students in your family worked hard to use the support from their parents, but the study seems to suggest that might not be the case for everyone whose parents are paying their way.

I find her research valuable, even if you don't, because it supports something I have believed to be true based entirely on personal experience--and personal experience is not conclusive.
When my son started college in the fall, I applied my particular personal experience in this area to set up the requirements we put on him, because I had come to believe that if we simply paid all his bills, he wouldn't try as hard. It is, if nothing else, good for me to be able to point to something more objective.
I think this work is interesting in terms of my particular students as well. As someone who works with at-risk students, I am always interested in knowing more about what constitutes an obstacle. And there again, this is similar to things I see, even in very poor students--students who have scholarships with stringent requirements invariably do better than students who have scholarships with loosely defined requirements who do better than students who have grants.
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."-- Albert Einstein.
I think this is true in many cases.The problem is that most parents who give a lot of money are apparently less than demanding about expectations. Then, Hamilton said, the students find college to be a great experience, and not one they are going to endanger by failing. "They say 'I want to stay there, but I'm not going to work too hard while I'm here.' They stay in college but dial down their academic effort."
On the other hand, there are kids like me who felt obligated to make the most of the buttload of money my parents shelled out for my college by working their tails off. I was shocked by kids who had no sense of duty or gratitude to their families for making a top-notch education possible and couldn't believe they'd take it for granted. But maybe I'm just weird.
I find the widespread notion that not paying your own way makes you a bad or spoiled or lazy person very unfair. My parents paid for our college partly because my father was kicked out by his father on his high school graduation. He was barely 17 years old. He lost a great life opportunity because of that, and he struggled for years to find a way to get an education after that. He did not want to put his children in that position. It was not his motive to spoil us or to make us lazy. And that is certainly not how it turned out, either.
I wonder how this corresponds with grades obtained in public school prior to college - did they account for that?
In Denmark, everyone gets a state stipend, plus free tuition. The grades are obviously a wide spread, some people do well, some do poorly.
One of the big factors I have seen is whether or not your parents have any college degree - people from non-academic families seem to struggle more to adjust, and have less support (some have none, aka why are you wasting your time, I did fine without a degree)
Anecdotal only. My FIL had a 3rd grade education. He paid for my husband's first degree (Baylor), my SIL's BA (Univ of Kansas) and Master's in Library Science (University of Arkansas), my BIL's degrees through his doctorate (MIT and Harvard) and another BIL's undergraduate degree (University of Arkansas). He also paid all living expenses which were all off campus. On the other hand, both my father and stepfather (who both had HS diplomas) refused to fill out the financial aid forms for me because "it was none of their business" what they made.

I would assume that students at highly competitive schools would generally have had very high grades in high school and very good entrance test scores.
And here she found -- across all types of four-year institutions -- the greater parental contributions were, the lower the student grades were.
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."-- Albert Einstein.
I'm not sure if the study has identified a causation issue -- that kids who don't have a personal financial stake in their education get lower grades than students who do -- or a correlation issue -- that kids whose parents pay more of their way tend to be wealthy, entitled, and not necessarily as smart as their peers. It's a little hard to make much from the article because it doesn't really describe the methodology. For instance, take this paragraph:
I'm not sure what schools fall into which group. There are some private colleges that are very expensive but extremely competitive. They are others that I remember people joking about as the places where the kids of the really wealthy would go because they couldn't get into the good schools. At the latter schools, I can definitely see the privileged kids taking their educations for granted.The impact of parental contributions on grades was lower (but still present) at highly competitive institutions. Generally the grades were lowest for students with high levels of support from their parents at private, out-of-state and more expensive colleges.
Also, it seems to group kids based on the more total money the parent pays. My immediate thought is that would skew the data. There are a lot of merit-based scholarships that are awarded regardless of need, especially as top schools compete to get the "best" students. Those kids may still be from extremely wealthy families and, without scholarships, would have had their educations paid for. An example is my stepbrother, whose mother is extremely wealthy. He was a straight-A student, had a perfect score on the SAT, and was the top individual scorer nationally in the Academic Decathlon his senior year. Not surprisingly, a lot of schools gave him generous scholarship packages. Then, two years into school, he won a scholarship from Kodak that paid for his final two years of his Ivy League education. In the end, his parents paid very little of his undergraduate tuition and expenses, even though they would have paid it all. So by basic the analysis on how much parents pay, it may identify a group of children from wealthy families, but exclude from that group the children of wealthy families who are most likely to have academic success.
Another thing that needs to be considered is the impact of legacies and parental wealth on admissions decisions. Legacies get preferences and a lot of rich kids get admitted because the school sees potential donor dollars flowing from the family. At Yale, we used to talk about how different the professional and graduate schools seemed to be from the undergraduates because students had a much lower sense of entitlement. It would not surprise me that, as schools become more expensive and administrations are more and more desperate for donations, the same kids who the author has identified as the ones whose parents pay the most are ones whose family wealth gives them easier pathways to admission at schools that are more academically rigorous than to which might obtain admission under a purely need-blind admissions process.
The article also makes a point that the children whose parents pay for school tend to be more involved in the Greek system than the other students. That is hardly surprising if the other students have to work outside school or are more focused on achieving their goals. (Also, many scholarships have GPA requirements, so students who need money from outside sources may not have the same opportunity to slack off as their wealthier counterparts.) I suspect a study comparing involvement in the Greek system with grades would show that students who are actively involved in fraternities and sororities get lower grades on average. Just the time demands of the Greek system and the distractions they provide would seem likely to impact grades. On the other hand, as much as I dislike the Greek system, I do see how they can help students network once they graduate.
This emphasis on college grades is also highly amusing to me. I thought my grades were pretty subpar for my school. I wouldn't bother applying to med school with them. But they haven't exactly held me back in life. I'm far too lazy for med school anyway.
The only time when your college grades really matter is if you're applying to graduate programs. I don't think many employers even bother checking - they only care if you can do the work, not that you're book smart. And of course, connections and experience matter much more than grades nowadays.
Every single job I've applied for has asked for my college transcripts.

2013 and earlier-Honda CR-V Prices Paid and Buying Experience
workingmom8 Posts: 1Hello -- I'd be grateful for any immediate thoughts on this offer, which I received yesterday (in writing) from a Honda dealer in Northern Virginia:
2013 Honda CR-V EX 2WD
"Sale price" - $22,109.00
"VA taxes" - $761.85 (Note - I've asked for clarity on how this was calculated, as it's clearly more than VA's 3 percent car sales tax)
2 Year VA tags - $103.50
Doc fee - $499.00
Destination - $830
"Appearance pkg" - $595.00
Total OTD - $24, 898.35
I will be paying cash, but the dealer doesn't know that yet.
Thanks very much!

If your deal is for a exl awd w/nav your price quote is 634 below invoice. Add the dealers doc fee's to that price and thats how much below invoice dealers is really selling you this CRV...
Try to negioate a lower sale price. If dealer wont remove doc fee's add doc's to sale price of vehicle. that would be a good deal.
Not 634 below invoice then paying dealers doc fee's of $299 plus.
Keep on shopping and getting quotes from as many dealers in your area.
Buy the CRV the last day of March. You will make your best deal on that day.

billy3554 Posts: 147A thing to recognize is a cash deal does not always provide a dealer with the most profit. Letting a dealer finance a vehicle often provides them a "reserve" which is profit from the financing.
Sometimes a good approach is to let the dealer finance which, if they get more profit from financing, might allow them to sell the vehicle at a lower price. You can always contact the finance company after the sale and pay off the loan immediately. There are rarely any pre-payment penalties on auto loans.
The small amount of interest you would pay might be offset by the price redcution. Just tell the dealer you will finance with them if they will lower the price by a few hundred dollars. What is the worse that can happen? If they say no and you still want the vehicle just pay cash. Nothing lost.
snapcat Posts: 1For a white 2013 CR-V EX 2wd
$24,043 sale price
398 tint, security system, door guards, mud guards
2,273.02 tax
441.66 license & reg.
399.98 doc fee
$27,555.66 out-the-door
Looks like taxes where I live are high compared to other states like 9 percent, I guess the lowest in the general area would be 8.8 percent but I tried cross shopping a lot of other dealers and they are just playing games and no one seems to think they can go below this quote.
Btw why is the last day of March a good one to make a deal? Is there some hidden dealer incentive for March?
mnc4494 Posts: 13The end of March is the end of the month and the end of a quarter. The invoice price is not what it costs the dealer for a car. The auto makers have other ways of other compensating dealers.
These are not anywhere on the internet and I would bet that only the sales or general manager really know what the goals they have to hit in order to get a "rebate".
Example, ( note these numbers are for illustration only) on March 30th dealer A is 2 cars away from reaching a sales incentive that would rebate 1% of MSRP for all the cars it sold in March or for the first quarter of the year. Dealer B is 10 cars. The dealers have an incentive in the form of rebate money to hit the target. If dealer A sells 2 cars a day on average they are almost certain to hit their incentive. Dealer B sells 5 cars a day so they have to be more aggressive in their pricing to get people buying cars. Do you think a dealer would sell a couple cars for $1,200 or more below invoice if they were going to get a rebate worth $50,000.
How do you know where dealers stand? Only one way, have multiple dealers compete. The dealer that stands to get the rebate by having you purcahse today will usually get you the best price.
Good points,
The best time to buy a new vehicle is the last day of any month or at quarters end. You never buy a car in the middle of any month.. End of march is the 1st quarter for car companies..
Most dealerships do not sell in high volume.. By emailing or contacting 30 or more dealerships you will find and make the best possible deal on the last day of the month.
Dealerships like Weymouth honda , Bosch, in Boston are high volume
Price honda in D.E. sell alot of vehicles. these dealerships get bigger incentive checks back from the Honda corp. they will sell cheaper than the little guy.
like above post mentioned you could find a really good deal if you find these dealerships at the end of the month..
Here is the formula to figuring the market price of your vehicle and getting the best price possible.
1- Invoice price
2-minus dealer holdback
3-minus any incentives and rebates
4- minus dealers Doc fee's.
5- Once you know the below invoice numbers you call as many dealerships and speak with the internet or sales mgr and let them know that for xxx price plus tax and dmv fee's you buy that moment and will secure the deal with a credit card deposit. to hold vehicle.. If your a good negotiator make your calls on the last day of the month. there is no need to step into any dealership to get your best price... You work your deal on the phone then pick up vehicle when its preped and ready..
6- Always get pre-approved with finance from the lowest bank rate or credit union.... this way you make the dealer match or beat it..This is the first thing you need to do..
This is the best starting point to any new car purchase. You always work up from this number.If you cant get dealership to remove doc fee's i always add that fee to the below invoice sale price.
Doc fee's are added dealer profit. Dont get suckered into paying high doc fee's.
Good luck
2013 Genesis 5.0 R-spec, 2013 Accord EXL V-6, 2012 BMW x-5, 2012 ML350
Most dealerships in N.J. wont remove doc fee's. Some will reduce doc's fee's.
Example::: if i want to buy my CRV for $500 below invoice and that dealerships doc fee's are $399 my asking price to buy is $899 below dealers invoice.
Why give any dealer large doc fee's. these dealerships sucker thousands of people in the buying game. If a dealer wants your business he will work with you. If not move on to the next dealership..

Still trying to find lowest OTD quote for a crv exl awd without nav or res.
I got a quote of "well under 27,000"-- but when i asked them to clarify whether or not that quote included fees, they refused to continue communicating until i came into the showroom writing:
"But you already have all the information we can give you by phone or e-mail, so now it's just a matter of coming in to Planet Honda to choose a vehicle you want and get ALL the info you need to make a good decision. Then all you have to do is drive home in your new car! For what day and time this week can I schedule you in to Planet Honda to go over all the details"
What is their point of making me shlep into the showroom without giving me clarity on what their quote actually is??
Do i simply disregard dealers who refuse to negotiate via email?
If so, it looks like most of the dealers i've contacted in ny/nj i'll have to disregard!

Another good question, and easier to answer!
The Refreshed Home creates good plans, and helps people make wise decisions, so they can get on with their life. So, anyone looking for this to happen could be the one who hires-and pays me.
Homeowners hire me most often, but busy professionals in tangent fields pay me to be on their team too.
Like the homeowners, they want to save time and stress. They want the project to go smoothly, and quickly. They also get to spend their time doing what they do best. They like to hire me because I have a good 'bedside manner', and understand that people are at the heart of the process. Here are some examples of how that has worked in my business.
Agents Some agents feel comfortable approaching how to best prepare a property for sale, some not so much, but they all have lots of other things to do; so busy agents make me part of their marketing plan with sellers.
Buyer agents-those representing best interests of the buyer-bring me in when their client really likes a house, but can't see the potential, because of the old, the out-dated or uber-decorations of the seller. We do a walk through of the property, and in short order they will have some specific visions for what the house could be.
As motivation to follow, then maintain Staging recommendations, some agents even make arrangement to reimburse sellers for Staging consult costs at time of closing.
Senior Move Managers are typically hired by down-sizers, or their adult children. The plan is to assist the homeowner in getting out of one home, and into another, and usually involves getting home #1 sold. Senior Move Managers bring me in to decide what to keep, and how to show the house best, but also because I understand, and respect what their clients are going through.
Contractors Even the most organized project can have things happen. Delays. A change of heart. Discontinued tile. Etc. And contractors are also very busy. My background lets me understand the issues that come up, get decisions made in a timely manner, streamline communications and alleviate stress.
Attorneys who handle divorces, or estates often oversee the sale of a property. They recommend me because while getting it done quickly, and getting the best price has to be a given, so is dealing with their clients at their most tender time.
Staging FAQs is an on-going series where I answer the most-often asked questions in 400 words or less. Keep reading, and feel free to ask your own questions! You can reach me directly at email@example.com or 914.607.2895

The Associated Press
DALLAS — Mike Gundy says he intends remain at Oklahoma State amid a report that he was offered the Tennessee job.
Gundy said Thursday there was "no question" he planned to stay at his alma mater. The former Cowboys quarterback is the school's winningest coach with an eight-year record of 66-35.
Speaking at a media event promoting the Heart of Dallas Bowl, Gundy also downplayed reports of a strained relationship with Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder. He said it was "a lot better than what people say."
The Cowboys finished 7-5 a year after qualifying for the BCS and beating Stanford 41-38 in overtime in the Fiesta Bowl.
CBS Sports reported that Tennessee had offered Gundy the job. Gundy wouldn't address the Tennessee situation specifically.

|Song Title
|Gardening at Gropius House
Rejecting European modernism in the head modernist's own backyard. And imagining the world without a nose. These are the points of departure for Neil Rolnick's new CD, Gardening At Gropius House. And though the topics sound serious, the music is joyful and uplifting, infused with grooves and sticky melodies, with exuberant and virtuosic writing all around. In a recent feature on Rolnick at NewMusicBox.com, Frank Oteri said "over 30 years he has helped to create a much changed musical landscape in the United States." Gardening At Gropius House and Anosmia keep pushing those changes. The title piece, a concerto for violin, computer and ensemble, features the irrepressible Todd Reynolds with members of Alarm Will Sound, conducted by Alan Pierson. The second piece, Anosmia, is a monodrama for three singers (Andy Osmia and the 2 Scents), computer and ensemble, featuring baritone Daniel Cilli and the New Music Ensemble of the San Francisco Conservatory, conducted by Nicole Paiement. Give it a sniff.
"[V]iolinist Todd Reynolds brings a lot of grace to ["Gardening at Gropius House"] ... [A] very satisfying listen overall." [FULL ARTICLE]

Apple iWatch rumors get wound up again
An Apple iWatch is back in the rumor mill today, running deep with Dick Tracy nostalgia, Bond envy, and wearable future fancy. Since we have the iPhone and the iPad, and nothing Apple has already made is ever good enough, it's only ever what's next that matters, and when that's not an iTV, it's this. Preamble done, here's Nick Bilton from the New York Times:
In its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., Apple is experimenting with wristwatch-like devices made of curved glass, according to people familiar with the company's explorations, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because they are not allowed to publicly discuss unreleased products. Such a watch would operate Apple's iOS platform, two people said, and stand apart from competitors based on the company's understanding of how such glass can curve around the human body.
Mobile payments, proximity logins, notification projection, Siri integration, the dream list goes on and on.
It's not remotely outlandish to imagine Apple is considering just such a device in their labs. If Apple is ever to release an iWatch, beyond an Apple TV-like hobby, it would have to:
- Make them money, i.e., sell tons of units at margin
- Disrupt an existing industry and provide high value to Apple customers.
- Increase the overall attraction of Apple's ecosystem.
iOS on a 1.5-inch screen would be interesting, but would it be interesting and far along enough for Apple to bring it to market this year?

Re: "... people familiar with the company's explorations, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because they are not allowed to publicly discuss unreleased products."
Hmm. There can only be a tiny handful of people who know about Apple's smartwatch-related experiments. If any one of them actually leaked the rumor, then the whole group would immediately be locked down. Like in "24."
On the other hand, would Apple benefit from an official planned leak? Could such a leak be used to measure possible interest in an Apple smartwatch? Or maybe a leak like that could actually work as a pre-marketing "grassroots" campaign. To get the hype rolling long before any actual product announcement, if Apple has decided to release a smartwatch.
I think it's obvious that Apple's needs to first determine whether or not there is consumer interest in an Apple-branded smartwatch. And if so, would there be enough profit in it to make it a sustainable product? Is it worth developing, marketing, updating, and maintaining over a decade or so? Leaking rumors and gauging response to blogs, etc. would be easy and fast, though the Apple blog-reading demographic isn't necessarily like that of the greater consumer demographic.
Maybe the Apple TV "hobby" isn't enough. Or maybe Apple has determined that the TV project is going to be a hobby for many more years (until enough contracts get signed.) If so, maybe the smartwatch is Apple's next "hobby."
I just got paid $6784 working on my laptop using these simple steps leaked on this web page. Make up to $85 per hour doing simple tasks that are so easy to do that you won't forgive yourself if you don't check it out! Weekly payments! Here is what I've been doing http://Rich45.com
I'm sure they would come up with something like 'Watch what we have in store for you' as far as hinting to their iWatch...if they ever were to do such a thing. Calling it now! ;-) Watch.
I'd probably buy one the second it launches.... as long as I don't have to charge it up too often. The Pebble Smart Watch doesn't quite do it for me but is definitely the way forward.
I want one. No. More than one. I want all the colors it'll be available in :) interchangeable colors would be epic
I'd definitely get some for my wife and I
Count me in for sure.. I don't see much of a point to a regular watch, but if apple makes a "smart watch" with a quarter of the functionality being hypothesized, it'd be a no brainer
How about the battery life? And how you connect to the internet to update information on the device?
I've just received my Pebble, at long last, and that's just served to whet my appetite for what Apple could do themselves with the tighter iOS integration they could provide.
Bring it on!
is there any word yet on when the pebble will/if be made available to the public? i know right now its just to people who supported it in kickstarter right?
i'd def buy an iWatch the moment it came out. I'm on the fence to the "need" of an iPad as I've got my MacBook Air and iPhone 5 but would be all over the watch in a heartbeat.
Yeah I'm definitely not interested in one. Who wears a watch anymore anyways? With the advent of smartphone availability, in my opinion it has become quite redundant to wear a watch or use any device that is available in the same capacity on a smartphone. Obviously I would be exaggerating to claim there is no place for specialized devices (e.g. camera, GPS, etc.), but I would have to say an iWatch is not the next in a line of great devices that Apple has innovated to create. Even if it did have all of the functionality of a smartphone, save for making calls, texting and other communication functions, it would be redundant to the features of a smartphone, which I dare to say we will continue to carry with us for a long time to come.
I want this.
Aria. if you, thought Edith`s story is impossible... last week I got a new Ford Mustang after bringing in $4474 this past five weeks and even more than ten thousand this past-munth. without a doubt its the most-comfortable work I have ever done. I actually started eight months/ago and almost straight away was bringin home more than $83... per-hour. I follow the details on this straightforward website,, www.work27.com (click on home for details)
My watch is more for fashion than anything else. I'm not changing it for an i-anything. I think its ridiculous people are getting excited about one more device to buy and integrate just to avoid pulling your phone out of your pocket occasionally.
iWatch has been pushed back to fall now. There were screen problems that caused a delay so it won't be ready for WWDC 2013.
I wish they would hurry up ... I may just have to go get me a Pebble smartwatch in the mean time.

Ship them all to a province other than Quebec once they hit puberty -- maybe even send them out of country to train
Crazy about sports!
They should ask the Canadian audience to stop giving out standing ovations for crap skating.
And having Stojko and Robinson as multiple National Champions can't be good for inspiration.
I think they should look at what other successful programs are doing and copying what they can. What are the Japanese/Russians doing? What has the US done in the past (although the US could use some updating too).
This being said I suspect that the Russians/Japanese success has something to do with how popular figure skating is in their perspective countries. However Canada has had no problem being competitive in the other disciplines. Perhaps more competition at the lower levels would be good.
Also at the national level they can emphasis certain things that they feel needs to be emphasized. For example I know a couple of years ago the Russians introduced more points for 3/3s etc. The Canadians could institute bonuses for attempting all the jumps etc. This being said they obviously want to encourage quality.
But I definetly think making the coaches should look at how other countries are developing their girls and see about making some changes there. Joannie Rochette's coach though who obviously did a terrific job; should perhaps help as well.
Bear more children (esp. girls). Recruit more people from outside Canada (Get Paulina Whovever--any of the Paulinas!). Bribe Joannie to return to competitive skating.
Canada's population is A LOT smaller than Japan, Russia and the US. Canada won't have the same depth in one discipline (although dance is strong at the moment) or across all disciplines (although Japan's pairs and ice dance programs are weak).
I have no idea what Robinson and esp. 3-time World Champion Stokjo has to do with it. Both are skaters who did the best they did with what they had. To me, if I saw that with Canadian ladies and we got the same results, I'd be okay with it.
What was with that comment about Stojko and Robinson hahaha Having a role model who won mutliple Olympic medals, World titles, World medals, etc etc etc Yah... thats bad for a youngsters coming up.... And Robinson, going from has-been to top 7 at the Olympics?? Yah that's also bad motivation and no source of inspiration at all.... Seriously ?? LOL
Skate Canada announced a new competitve skating format for the upcoming years to help with the puberty monster. Apparently the structure for competitve skating is more geared towards success for men... because puberty makes them stronger. And then they also go into dance and pairs because of that fact too. The new format is to help skaters continue throughout the competitve years, so that we don't lose young talent. There are some very talented female skaters in the younger ranks.... however, some of them don't make it to Senior's because of the puberty-monster. Our Junior champ did quite well this year at Nationals. But like has been mentioned above, we don't have as big of a population as other countries, so we have fewer resources to choose from.
More focus on jumps! MUCH more focus on jumps! This is the one thing that is holding Canadian ladies back, and it needs to be consistent jumping as well. Anything that will reward difficult jumps should be implemented, e.g. triple triple combo bonuses, bonuses for two triple lutzes/flips programs, etc.
The double axel requirement for novice free programs this season is a good start, but there needs to be more.
I think quality is important, but looking at the state of the Canadian ladies, difficulty and consistency in jumps is what we don't have, and what the Japanese and Russian skaters do have. Quality at this point, should definitely be second to difficulty, because a very nice clean high quality triple lutz double toe is simply not going to cut it internationally when up against a mediocre triple lutz triple toe.
The other thing that is unfortunate is that even before puberty, we don't have any good Canadian ladies, I don't think we have ever had a "jumping bean" like in the US, Japan, or Russia. So for Canadian ladies, it much less to do with puberty and girls losing jumps, because they simply did not really have any jumps in the first place!
I remember attending a competition once (summer) a few years back, pre juvenile level, skaters from internationals were able to compete, and Japanese skaters went 1 - 2 finish, doing double axels, and yes this was pre-juvenile.
"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." -The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
You just have to persuade the young girls up there in Canada that they don't have to play ice hockey be tough and strong.
ETA yes, Canada's population is smaller than other major figure skating countries, but then how is it they have such strong men when fewer men pursue figure skating. In Canada many more women figure skate and look. I also agree it's the jumps.
double post
Who wound up getting the Worlds spot? I'm guessing 4CCs wasn't quite as effective as they'd hoped.
It is looking pretty grim for Canadian ladies right now. I only hope Brian is able to work his magic on Cynthia like he did on Javier - but that will obviously take time.
LOL I guess Skate Canada's attempt to brush off Canadian Nationals short program as a fluke for Phaneuf didn't work.
And if Phaneuf could do even a 1toe after one of the jumps she landed, she would have beaten Lacoste. Oh well.
As for Lacoste vs Phaneuf, it doesn't matter which one goes to Worlds 2012, as the result will pretty much be the same. Neither one is likely to crack top 10. Since Amelie beat Cynthia at both Nationals and 4CC, Amelie should get the nod.

Maybe leaving Phaneuf home is a good thing. Her only one good competition since recovery from injury was 2010 Worlds. Now she can have more time to rework things with Brian (darn that lutz). I suspect most of the work is with her head, not her blade.
Congrats on Lacoste for making Worlds. If Phaneuf comes back strong next season, Lacoste will pretty much be fighting for her own spot by placing top ten at Worlds.
in practise, phaneuf lands maybe 1/10 lutzes. not all of her issues are mental - brian will probably rework the lutz technique.

Jesus Alone
Salvation cannot be bought except through the blood of Jesus. It doesn't get any clearer than that.
BY: Michael Youssef
For some 2,000 years, people have used, abused, and shaped Jesus and Christianity to fit their personal and subjective construct.
Even in my own lifetime, I have heard Christ called "The Revolutionary Jesus," "The Marxist Jesus," "The Nazi Jesus," and "The Capitalist Jesus"-to mention just a few.
I daresay that had this abuse of teaching been done to one of the founders of the other great world religions, the abusers might have been hacked to death in an attempt to avenge mischaracterization of the religion's fundamentals. Yet those of us who consider ourselves to be orthodox Christians do not respond this way-both because we believe in Jesus' injunction to his followers to turn the other cheek (seeMatthew 5:39
andLuke 6:29
) and because of our foundational belief in the sovereignty of God. Hence the statement attributed to Charles Spurgeon: "Defending the Bible is like defending a lion." The Bible speaks for and defends itself.
Nonetheless, from time to time, we are called upon to set the record straight, drawing upon 2,000 years of Christianity that is centered upon the God who is the Alpha and the Omega, the one "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8, NIV). Today it is imperative that we as Christians point out the way in which society is altering the unalterable. We must defend the notion that God has not changed.
Take the results of a survey conducted in early August 2005 byNewsweek and Beliefnet
. More than 1,000 Americans were asked what they believe and how they practice their faith.
Perhaps what is most interesting-and disturbing-about the results is that 68 percent of evangelical Protestants and 83 percent of non-evangelical Protestants said that yes, according to their own religious beliefs, "a good person" who isn't of their religious faith can "go to heaven or attain salvation."
Here's how Newsweek's Jerry Adler put it: "Along with diversity has come a degree of inclusiveness that would have scandalized an earlier generation. According to the Newsweek/Beliefnet Poll, eight in 10 Americans-including 68 percent of evangelicals-believe that more than one faith can be a path to salvation, which is most likely not what they were taught in Sunday school."
I certainly hope not, but I am no longer so sure.
This finding is startling. And I have to wonder where we, as a Church, have failed? Are we not communicating the Bible, which clearly teaches that Jesus is the only way to God and that no amount of good deeds or random acts of kindness can get anyone into heaven? Are we not making it clear that salvation cannot be bought-except with the blood of Jesus?
