The debate on whether ACT and SAT scores are an accurate tool for assessing student abilities has been going on for years. Even though recent studies found SAT scores to be less effective in predicting long-term college success than was previously thought, dealing with these tests is still pretty much unavoidable. Until standardized tests are out of sight and out of mind, students should do their best to get acquainted with them. Below is a sampling of average college SAT and ACT scores as reported by the Department of Education. To find more college ACT and SAT scores, information about estimated costs of attendance, and the number of applicants at schools across the U.S., check out our college search.

On September 20, 2007, a meeting of more than 40 representatives and national associations was held to discuss college ethics matters. The off-the-record discussion was organized by David Ward, the president of American Council on Education (ACE), in part as a response to recent investigations into unethical business practices between student lenders and colleges.
According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the meeting dealt with problems within the student lending industry as well as with questionable credit card solicitations to alumni and sporting-event ticket distributions. Mr. Ward was quoted as saying, ""If, for example, a president is about to sign a contract, somebody should say, 'What's the story we're giving to the public on this?' And if the president pauses, then maybe they need to pause on the contract too."
Pressures on schools to come up with funds have led to questionable actions that include receiving kickbacks from lenders and study abroad organizations. The meeting was to address such actions and to come up with plausible solutions. During the conference, Mr. Ward was asked to create a committee that would address legal problems between colleges and businesses and to come up with a checklist to assist college administrators in recognizing potential ethical problems.
To avoid or minimize the use of student lender services, students can look to scholarships and grants that can assist them in funding a college education. Conducting a free scholarship search will allow students to find myriad awards they are eligible to receive. For additional information on financial aid and college-related issues, students can take advantage of Scholarships.com Resources.

Filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is kind of like filling out a super complicated Christmas wish list. You write it, you hand it over and you cross your fingers when the time to open approaches. A lot of times you're disappointed with the results. Students should never dismiss the prospect of government aid. Even if they are not eligible to receive need-based grants, they will still have unsubsidized Stafford and PLUS Loans options. Receiving award letters with little or no aid options is frustrating, and it's all because of that stupid Expected Family Contribution (EFC) formula.
How much government aid a student receives is largely dependent on how much the government thinks a family can contribute to the education of their child. This is what is known as the Expected Family Contribution. Based on the income and asset information students provide on their FAFSA, the government determines a student's EFC number. The number is then sent to the student's school of choice which subtracts it from their estimated Cost of Attendance (COA). What's left over is used to determine if a student is eligible to receive federal or nonfederal aid.
The problem with the EFC is that it often overestimates how much a family is really able to contribute to a child's education. Although factors such as a (dependent) student family size and the number of family members attending college are considered, the expectations can still seem high. According to a 2004 Department of Education report, a family making between $45,000-49,000 per year was expected to contribute $6,000 to their child's education. One making between $50,000-54,000 was expected to contribute $7,000 and one that made between $95,000-99,000 was expected to contribute $18,900. It is doubtful that the average family can afford to contribute that much after paying all bills. Those with particular need, families with an EFC lower than $4,110, are eligible for free Pell Grant money this year, but only up to $4,310. That is not the average grant aid a student receives.
Recently released government data shows that, based on the average cost of an education at a public college, a family who sends one student to school is expected to contribute about 25% of their median household income. Those families who send their child to a private school are expected to contribute about 57% of their median household income. Even if students receive the maximum Pell Grant award, $4,310, the family may be nowhere near meeting the costs associated with a college education. If students are lucky, the new Congress-approved Pell Grant increase outlined in the College Cost Reduction and Access Act will be signed by President Bush. Based on White House reports, the president is expected to sign the legislation, but some doubts are still present.
Students who have been offered little or no financial assistance from the government can always look to scholarships and grants for financial assistance. Conducting a free scholarship search will allow students to find myriad awards they are eligible to receive. By using Scholarships.com's resources, students can find the scholarship and financial aid information they need to fund their education.

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's investigation into illegal incentives within the student lender industry has burgeoned into a full-out hunt for immoral use of student funds. The buzz has recently spread into college study abroad offices where administrators frequently receive money and free-of-charge trips in exchange for recruiting student travelers. As always, there are two sides to every story, and many college officials have been eager to tell theirs.
According to some study-abroad advisors, the trips were much more business than they were pleasure. College administrators have said that travel was a necessary tool for advisors who educated students on their locations of interest. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, Ms. Gayly Opem, executive vice president of marketing at the Institute for the International Education of Students, held such an opinion stating, "I don't know of any other way for them to do it than to visit the program."
An accusation more difficult to justify was one that claimed students who chose to travel without school program assistance were sometimes denied approval for credit transfers. The New York Times article about Brendan Jones, a Columbia student denied credit transfer from Oxford told the story of one such case. Although Oxford is well known for its academic excellence, and ranked higher than some abroad institutions Brendan's Columbia peers received credits from, the transfer was denied. Instead of returning, Brendan decided to finish school at Oxford.
Studying abroad is generally regarded as an enriching experience, in a both intellectual and social sense, but brows are rising at the business side of college travel. After Cuomo's investigation revealed questionable administrative tactics, the idea of colleges and travel agencies marketing travel as a full-out panacea just feels tainted. A 2004 issue of Transitions Abroad magazine featured the results of a study by the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES) which claimed that 98% of students who spent a year abroad returned with increased sef-confidence and a higher level of maturity. It also reported that about 70% of the travelers returned with an ignited interest in a career direction they pursued after the experience. I have a feeling that plenty of students studying in the U.S. also developed career interests during college.
The overall theme of the investigation is that college costs are out of control, and college administrators who act like businessmen are in part to blame. While hope for a major overhaul of the funding system is a bit premature, new legislation passed by Congress will increase Pell Grants and decrease some student loan interest rates. In the mean time, students can fill funding gaps by conducting a free scholarship search and applying for awards. Students can also use Scholarships.com's resources to find much-needed information about taking control of their finances and planning ahead for college costs.

Scholarships are great, all free money is. But as is true for earned income, students who receive awards may have to report them to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). To be in the clear, undergraduate and graduate students should take the time to check if their scholarships and fellowships are tax free. As long as students are careful about how they spend the money, their awards will probably be tax exempt.
Scholarships and Grants are tax exempt if:
1. The recipient is a degree candidate at an educational institution with a regular faculty, curriculum and enrolled body of students who attend at the location of educational activities.
2. The scholarship money is used for required tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment. Scholarship money used for room and board, travel and optional supplies is taxable.
3. The recipient is not accepting the scholarship in exchange for services received (e.g., teaching and research). This rule does not apply to scholarships received from the National Health Service Corps Scholarship Program or the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship and Financial Assistance Program.
Sometimes, only a part of a student's scholarship or fellowship will be taxable. For example, a student may receive $3,000 in fellowship money from a school. However, $2,000 of the money will be offered in exchange for assisting a professor in her research (fellowship money usually accompanies such stipulations.) The remaining $1,000 will not be taxed, as long as it is used for qualified school expenses. A student's future research service earnings may have to be estimated and reported, even if the work has not yet been completed.
To be certain that all income is accounted for, students should take a look at scholarship conditions and whether they can be used to cover qualified expenses. Students who believe their scholarship and grant money may be taxable should report their award to the IRS. If the scholarship is not taxable and the student has no income aside from the scholarship, a tax return does not need to be filed. To find additional information on scholarship, grant and fellowship opportunities, students should conduct a free scholarship search and take a look at Scholarship.com's financial aid resources.

When students unfold their FAFSA award letters, they may find that in addition to loans and grants, they were granted Federal Work Study (FWS) awards. What does work have to do with government assistance? Good point.
Aid in the form of work may not be the ideal award, but students who need significant financial assistance may want to consider working part time. Undergraduate and graduate students may be able to eliminate, or at least decrease, their borrowing needs by conducting a free scholarship search and by accepting Federal Work Study (FWS) positions.
These jobs are administered by colleges and often require cafeteria work, administrative assistance and research help. The work is not always glamorous, and it is often low in pay—think minimum wage. Don't worry; there are some benefits.
Although FWS income is taxed, students are usually refunded a good chunk of it, and their financial aid eligibility is not hurt in the process. Students who work outside of school may find their future financial aid to be in jeopardy because of earnings. Students who accept FWS positions won't have to worry about this. Their earnings will not be considered when government aid is determined. This is a great benefit as personal income is counted against students at a much larger rate than is that of parents.
Students who are interested and eligible for Federal Work Study are bound to find a job, and a flexible one at that. And because the jobs are created with students in mind, they tend to offer convenient schedules. The same can't always be said for stores and restaurants which offer the finest of hours—late nights and weekends. When finals and class schedules changes come into play, flexibility will matter.
Like other FAFSA awards, Federal Work Study money is limited. If an award letter states that a student is eligible for $2,000, they can only work until they reach that point. This may or may not be enough. Eligible students looking for work will have to decide whether FWS jobs or outside positions are right for them. Depending on schedule flexibility, pay rate and interest, one, the other or neither may be the best option.
September 17, 2007
After what seemed like a never-ending battle between the Senate and the House, a compromise was finally reached on the College Cost Reduction and Access Act. What's more, based on White House reports, President Bush is even going to retract his earlier threat to veto the bill. The proposal was sent to the president on Friday, and a signature is expected shortly.
The main points of the bill include an increase in Pell Grant allocations to students and a decrease in government subsidies to student lenders. According to Bloomberg L.P., about $20 billion of the estimated subsidy savings will be redirected to student loan programs. Among these is the Pell Grant program which, for the 2007-2008 year, awards a maximum $4,300 per student per year. Over the next few years, the maximum sum is expected to rise to $5,400.
Lenders are obviously unpleased and warn that the new bill will harm students in the long run. Certain lender and Congress members predict the changes will push many smaller lenders out of business and will lead to cuts in fee reductions for students with good payment records. However, with many large lenders still competing for business, the bill is likely to help much more than it hurts.Additional bill provisions include a forgiveness plan that will allow students to stop loan payments after ten years of work in public sector fields such as education. Only those who borrow under the Federal Direct Loan Program are eligible, but students who borrow under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) can still apply by consolidating their loans under the direct plan.
The bill was initially proposed as a reply to the student loan investigation that uncovered numerous illegal actions within the student loan industry. Many student lenders were found to have offered financial aid officials money in exchange for spots on preferred-lender lists. As the investigation continued, incentives such as stock tips, vacation packages and tickets to entertainment venues were found to be offered regularly.
As always, students should look to free grants and scholarships before taking out loans. However low the rates are, loans still have to be repaid. By conducting a free scholarship search at Scholarships.com, students will be exposed to a world of financial aid opportunities that may enable them to bypass loans altogether.
The "Scholarship of the Week" for this week, the first week, is the Blade Your Ride Video Scholarship award. This award creates an outlet for students who are eager to make a positive environmental change.And the outlet is fun. Those who wish to apply will get to create a 1-2 minute broadcast video expressing their feelings and concerns about the environment. They must do their best to sound convincing about the urgency of changes and the ability of the public to make a significant difference—a topic of bitter debate.
1. One $10,000 scholarship prize 2. Four $5,000 scholarship prizes
1. College Freshman, Sophomore, Junior or Senior. 2. Students enrolled full time in a Bachelor's degree program 3. Attendance at an accredited U.S postsecondary institution 4. GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0 or a 4.0 out of 5.0 5. No U.S. citizenship requirements 6. Passionate about the global climate crisis
Required Material:
1. Resume 2. Transcript 3. Letter of referral 4. Video

Pell Grants and Stafford Loans are well-known sources of government aid, but the selectively gift-bearing award letters that announce them don't have the final say when it comes to government assistance. Free FAFSA awards are an excellent source of college funding, but not all students are eligible because of their need-based component. Luckily, the government also awards assistance that is not need-based, and students may comfortably apply knowing that government programs are scam-free. Then again…Never mind.
Here are just a few options:
Scholarship for Military Children: With the help of the Scholarship for Military Children, children of active duty personnel, reserve and guard military members and deceased military members can find college funding. Students who apply must be under the age of 21 and be planning to enroll in college the following fall. Applicants must also meet the 3.0 minimum GPA requirement and must submit a completed application, transcript and a short essay. Numerous students will be selected to receive the $1,500 scholarship prize.
Morris K. Udall Foundation Scholarship: The Morris K. Udall Foundation, a scholarship program created in honor of Mr. Udall's 30 year contribution to the House of Representatives, intends to award 80 scholarships and 50 honorable mentions to sophomore and junior-year college students. Prizes will be awarded to students who dedicate themselves to a career dealing with the environment, one in tribal public policy or one in Native American health care. Award winners will each receive prizes of up to $5,000. An 800-word essay, a completed application, three letters of recommendation and school transcripts are required.
strong>Federal Cyber Service: Scholarship for Service (SFS): Put on your trench coat and go incognito. This is a cool scholarship for students who were dead serious about John Grisham novels. The Scholarship for Service program seeks to promote entrance into the government's fields of information assurance and computer security. Award winners are to participate in academic programs dealing with information assurance during their last two college years—this applies to undergraduates, graduates and Ph.D. aspirants. They will also take part in a government internship program and become a part of the FCS, an organization responsible for ensuring the protection of the US Government information infrastructure. Winners will be required to work with the government for two years following their graduation. Because colleges act as scholarship intermediaries, interested students should contact their financial aid office to see if their school is a program participant.
CIA Undergraduate Scholarship Program: The CIA Undergraduate Scholarship Program is open to high school seniors and college sophomores looking to enroll in a 4-year college program. Winners will apply their academic skills to assisting CIA professionals during their summer breaks. After graduating, winners will be required to work with the Agency for a period equal to 1.5 times the length of the college sponsorship. In exchange for their work, students will be given an annual salary, health insurance and up to $18,000 per year in college cost coverage. Trips to and from work in Washington, D.C. will also be paid for.
These are only a few of the many scholarship opportunities available to high school and college students. To find more government and non-government sponsored scholarship and grant programs, you may visit Scholarships.com. At Scholarships.com, students can complete a profile that will allow them to find information on financial aid opportunities that specifically match their eligibility qualifications.

If you haven´t seen it it is a great spot...
No sex, boobs, sleazy innuendos, smart ass kids with dumb parents, over eating taco chips or boozing it up. Just one of God´s beautiful creatures and human´s who appreciate his handy work . . . sounds like a winner to me. I would love to be able to give that cute baby a big hug.
And the trainers not bad, either!
I love these horses. I´m not a sappy person but that ad does bring a tear to my eye. A few weeks ago, a team of the Clydesdales were staying near here. I went there and got to practically snuggle one of them. They are just majestic and beautiful.
crying into my keyboard now
Oh how I love horses! I even love the smell of horses. There´s an aroma that speaks of earth and sweat and pure muscle that is beautifuol in itself.
@6, you and I must be sisters. I would far rather muck out a horse stable than clean house (TheDad will back me up on this, lol!).
This means I can finally give up the Puppy Bowl and can watch the Super Bowl and still see baby animals.
Me too, #6. My family has kept horses(not Clydesdales) for four generations that I can count. One of my favorite places to be is in my tack room where the sweat soaked saddles and bridles hang to dry out when not being used. "Sweat soaked leather" sounds like hell but smells like heaven.
What a beautiful commercial. Clydesdales are spectacular horses and this little foal, with his beauty, just brought tears to my eyes. This ad is the winner!
The real America
#6,7,9.. Us too. We are horse people, love them, can´t imagine life without them.This commercial made me cry, because its real.When our horse sees my car, she runs to the gate just like a puppy. All of the horses have different personalities and most are sweet as can be.
I grew up with horses, and it´s been many years since I was near or in a stable, but were I blind folded and led into one, I would immediately recognize that aroma...the drying leather, the horse blankets, the smell of leather soap.......I know there are horses in heaven....I have been told. Can´t wait to ride Stormy again...or Topsey....or Sally....or Buttermilk. Pretty sure Calico and Lobo didn´t make though. ;)
Horse person here too. Cried like a baby at this commercial. Mr. Steele81 always says I love my horses more than I love him. They do get preferential treatment.
Between this commercial and the sad news about Barney Bush, I´ve been in tears all night.
What a wonderful commercial! How very refreshing. I got the chills from very beginning of it. I too have always loved horses. I love their noses. They feel like velvet. Dittos on the trainer. He´s not too bad either! Many years ago we went to St. Louis to see the Clydesdales. They were such beautiful, majestic animals. I have never forgotten it.
Beautiful animals growing on a beautiful ranch. If you get the chance to visit, go.Liked the ad.
I don´t care for beer but I went ahead and ordered a dozen kegs and jockey box.Must support the arts and all.
Big winner. I don´t drink beer anymore, but if I did, would be a Bud.Beautiful animals.
another horse person here..from the time I was knee high....have not ridden for many years. but still have dreams where I do...like riding a bike..once you know how..you never forget..you can always.."sit" at horse.God´s beauties...
60 years ago, I saw them in person, and was stunned by their massive size, the wagon and the Dalmation riding up top.Such beautiful horses.
Seems as if Ldotters are quite a horsy family! I went out to see my guy today and he ran right in to say hi! Yes, the smell is injected into us as soon as we smell it the first time, and you never ever forget it and the peace it brings you because it will course through your veins forever. Of COURSE I loved the commercial!I´ve always said if my critters weren´t in Heaven, I don´t want to go there as it would not be Heaven for me...
We had horses growing up too. So right, you never forget the smell, the velvet nose, so soft. The big beautiful eyes and the loyalty. I have yet to experience a sensation as exhilarating as riding a horse at a full run. It is like nothing else.I have not ridden or been around horses in many years and I miss them immensely. My husband has grown to love them from a distance and we hope someday to have one. Don´t know if that dream will ever come true now, the future is so dark. Thanks OP for posting, very nice.
Don´t miss this. Still sniffling. At least St. Louis is still doing one thing right.
I´m a long haul truck driver, my second career. For years, I´ve said that I´d drive for free for Budweiser for one year if they would reimburse my expenses, if I could pull one of their horse vans. That´s a serious statement that I´d be willing to honor just for the experience and the opportunity to be closely involved with the Clydesdales.
We lived in the St. Louis area for a lifetime and had the opportunity to visit these beautiful horses at the brewery and at the farm. And there was nothing more spectacular than on the first day of baseball season to see Gussie Busch taking the team and wagon around Busch Stadium while the crowd went nuts!This ad is just precious. DH said he saw on Fox Business channel last night that the ad made for Super Bowl in 2002 (the horses bowing) was the #1 Super Bowl ad of all time and that A-B only showed it the one time at the game. They are truly a treasure. Did you see in the article there are 40 babies on the way? How exciting.One more thing: There is a Busch farm in southwest St. Louis with a street running alongside one of the fields where you could see the horses grazing. Some years ago, someone shot one (or more) of the horses. I don´t remember the story, it´s been too long ago. I´ve been gone from there for too long, but it might be Laclede Station Road. Can you imagine the hatefulness in a heart that would shoot one of these beauties?

Stephanie - 'Sister of My Heart*'
by Stephanie Levin
The first time I met Alexandra (Alex), I hoped we would become friends. We met through work and Alex quickly went from being a wonderful colleague to being a dear friend. Alex was outgoing, adventurous, smart and spontaneous. She loved traveling, she could put people at ease instantly and she had a wonderful sense of humor. She was free-spirited and she could light up a whole room with her smile, with her sheer presence. She was a gifted teacher, a devoted friend and a truly amazing human being.
Alex was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. She suffered from depression for most of her too short life and began contemplating suicide at the age of 14, long before we knew each other. She attempted suicide several times, including twice in the six months before she took her own life on April 22, 2006. She was 29 years old. She suffered and struggled to get through each day more than any person ever should. She hid her struggles well—the vast majority of people who knew her, even close friends she had known for years never knew she suffered from depression.
This is not a story about undiagnosed mental illness. This is not a story about not seeing warning signs, about "not seeing it coming." Alex's story, my story, our story, is about fighting. It is a story about fighting the depression, the mood disorders, the stigmas, the loneliness, the hopelessness, and the physical and emotional toll this disease took on her body, on her soul. It is a story aboutfighting for good treatment, for enough treatment, for affordable treatment. Heartbreakingly for Alex, for me, for her family and all of the friends she left behind, it is a fight that we lost.
I watched a woman who was confident in almost any situation, who directed summer camps and non-profit agencies, who traveled alone in Thailand for two months, ran the Honolulu AIDS Marathon and biked 600 miles in the AIDS Life Cycle become debilitated by a disease that left her exhausted, unhappy and unable to function as she once did, even with the help of medication and therapy.
She was my best friend. She was the closest thing I have ever had to a sister."
Alex left San Francisco about a year and half before her death, living in Massachusetts, Maine and finally Jackson Hole, Wyo. Despite the physical distance, we were constant companions. I flew to Jackson Hole every few weeks. We spoke on the phone several times a day and sent emails back and forth constantly. Dealing with her illness, trying to help her survive and get better, was the focus of both of our lives. Everything and everyone in my life came second to Alex—she was the center of my life. She was the rhythm of my life. I lived in her time zone as well as mine. I knew her schedule—every appointment, every dose of medication, every meal she ate, every movie she watched. She was my daily alarm clock. She was my best friend. She was the closest thing I have ever had to a sister. I couldn't have loved her more if we had been related by blood. She was my family. Her death has left an enormous hole torn in my life, my heart, my soul. She left a tremendous emptiness that is filled to the brim with loss, with regret, with pain and with so many questions that I will never know the answers to.
In our years of friendship Alex taught me many things. She taught me how to drive in the snow. She taught me that drinking things through a straw makes them taste better. In the way she lived her life she taught me about living life fully and completely and she taught me about following my instincts. She taught me to try to embrace change and she taught me that anything is possible, if you want it enough. Alex was a woman who dreamed big dreams, who took risks and who tried new things. Alex believed in the power of individuals to change the world.
When I found out about the Out of the Darkness Overnight in San Francisco last June, I knew I had to participate, because it was exactly the kind of event Alex would have wanted to get involved with. I signed up to crew because I was afraid to walk alone. I was afraid to have 20 miles of time alone with my thoughts, alone with my grief. The crew seemed an easier task, as it would force me to meet people, something Alex was so good at and something I find so hard. Being a crew member did, in fact, help me meet many, many people.
First I met a woman whose daughter's boyfriend took his life in November 2005. I met a woman whose daughter took her life 10 years ago; she would be 31 now. I met all of the wonderful women and men who were part of the sweep vehicle crew team. I also met hundreds of walkers. I met a walker who was released from a psychiatric hospital in April, and still came out to walk. I met a walker who was several months pregnant, and still came out to walk. I met a walker who had back surgery a few weeks before the walk, and still came out to walk. I met walkers and crew members who had lost mothers and fathers, grandparents, brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews, sons, daughters and friend after friend after friend. I met so many people, heard so many stories and had the opportunity to share my own story, to share Alex's story. As I drove a van along the route, I could see all the different people who were walking -- people of all ages and backgrounds. I heard people express feelings and emotions and reactions that were just like mine. It was incredible how connected I felt to people I had only just met, how understood I felt by people who didn't really know me and never knew Alex. I felt supported, I felt accepted, I felt held by a community that I wish wasn't as large as it is. I am blessed to have a wonderful network of friends and family whose support has helped me, both during Alex's struggle to live, and in the months since her death. And yet, somehow, the men and women that I met at the Overnight, whose names I don't know, touched me, affected me, helped me heal, in a way I never would have thought possible before the event.
I don't have the right words to adequately and accurately explain the power of the Overnight in San Francisco. It is an experience I will hold close in my heart for the rest of my life. I came home exhausted that Sunday, but for the first time since Alex's death, I was exhausted from hard work, from connecting with people, from doing something positive with the pain and the grief, not simply tired from the pain and tragedy of her death. Out of the Darkness does not bring Alex back. It does not heal the wounds her death has brought. Nothing heals these completely, and nothing should. I believe the scar is important, because to heal completely and not leave a mark would be to forget the impact Alex had on my life. But it does show me that I am not alone: thatother people have, like me, been so enveloped in pain that you feel like your head is being held underwater. And they have found a way to lift their heads up above the water. The people I met taught me that change is inevitable, that in a year, or three, or 10, I will hold my grief differently. They showed me that, even though most days it still doesn't seem possible, I will survive this, and that like them, I can choose to use the experience to bring about change in this world: that I can choose to stand up and be counted among the community of people who are asking that suicide and depression not be hidden any longer, who are hoping fewer and fewer people will join our club of survivors. AFSP is the giant hand that sweeps across the country and brings us together and holds us and helps us hold each other. There are no words to truly express my gratitude for this experience, for this community.
I feel that knowing Alex, in all her complexities, in her brilliance and beauty and in her healthy self, and in many ways especially knowing her in her illness in a way no one else did, has changed me, has shaped me, has made me a better person, perhaps has even made me who I am supposed to be. Participating in the Out of the Darkness Overnight has made me a better person as well and while participating, for the first time since Alex's death, I felt like I was doing what I was meant to be doing. Getting involved with the Overnight helped me get involved with AFSP locally and I am so proud to have had the opportunity to work with AFSP as the event coordinator for the San Francisco Out of the Darkness Community Walk. I am grateful to have the AFSP community to lean on, to learn from and hopefully to contribute to in my own ways as well.
Stephanie lives in San Francisco and can be reached at email@example.com.
*Alex and I shared a love of reading and shared many books throughout our friendship. Sister of My Heart, by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, was the first book we shared and one of our favorites.

Poor Service and Poor Customer Service
Posted by Sherrygallant on 05/15/2013
WOODSIDE, NEW YORK -- Do not use RCN if you want good service. It is a waste of money.
I recently upgraded to TIVO to save money and the quality has gone way down. I was told that my computer and television would work better and the opposite is true. Now I have trouble with my phone, internet and TV. I want to go back to the old way and they said that I can't. The service representatives are rude.
I am looking for another service.

RCN Email
Posted by Krauss on 03/13/2013
VIRGINIA -- RCN. COM has to be one of the worst companies ever. We're completely held hostage to this company. Horrendous customer service, technical support and products. For over two months now they have been returning my email as SPAM and then today they started blocking all mail as being blacklisted by me. They have no clue on how to fix a problem after 6 phone calls that go on for hours. Problems never get fixed.
Tonight I talked to a supervisor pertaining to email issues and was told that he had no IT experience that he was just a supervisor. Now how is that. They hire people to supervise so-called IT staff and the supervisors have no IT experience. This is one reason problems don't get fixed. You call RCN to report a problem and they never get back to you on the problem of get it fixed. Call back a week later and have to go around in a circle going over the samething you had to tell them the week before and it goes like this week after week.

Typical Complaint, with TWIST - (Actually a positive outcome.)
Posted by NickV on 12/09/2010
UNKNOWN -- Due to a problem on their behalf RCN cut off my email yesterday morning, and I spent a day and a half on 30 minutes hold --> disconnect, multiple 10-20 minute holds, listening to a recording raving about how great their service is, expecially on line, with occasional semi-conversations with virtually incomprehensable, incompetent, rude customer service people, 4 call backs not received, on and on and on. . . to the tune of at least a day and a half of wasted time, only to be told that maybe it would be fixed tommorrow, ( after one tomorrow came and went with no resolution)
Finally, I called the Headquarters in Herndon and talked to a lady in their executive escallated resolution team, who had a terrible cold, and was obviously not feeling good while she was listening to someone "straining to be civil" after all I had been trough. She asked if I could give her a few minutes and that she would call me back in 10 to 20 minutes. . . Within about 15 minutes I got a call that said she had sent me an email and asked if I got it, I told her I would check, and found that it was the first email received since they capriciously cut off my service. ( I had sent myself "test" messages 3 or 4 times from another account -- all of which "bounced" as undeliverable within 1-5 seconds.
She obviously got the problem resolved in 10 minutes where everyone else I had been attempting to deal with for 1 1/2 days had been unable to do so.
So the moral of my story is Please for your sake, and sanity if you have a problem you can't get resolved call their headquarters and talk to the executive escallation team and give them a chance, if all of them are like the lady I dealt with, I would bet the can solve your problem without being short, rude, incomprehensable, or wasteing your time.
It was GREAT to deal with a competent, pleasant person for a change!!!!!

RCN is a SHODDY provider
Posted by Gek on 11/16/2010
ARLINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS -- We had RCN for less than 1 year. ON July 1, a Thursday, our on-demand went out. I called RCN. They took the call. The next day, I called again, they took the call. I called every day, July 1-5. Of course being a holiday weekend - I did not get any response on my service call July 6th. We then canceled our service on July 22nd for RCN's non-ability to provide service.
They then are billing us for 1 week of service after we canceled. We have tried calling. To no avail - No on the other end of phone can help you or resolve your problem and supervisors who can resolve the problem are not reachable!!! Our problem is not resolved, and we don't know how to resolve it.
DO not get service with RCN.

HERNDON, VIRGINIA -- My special needs under age child was playing with TV and pushed buttons and ordered 3 porn movies. Called RCN to have them remove they won't. What should be my next step?
I thought you had to have some sort of clause verifying you you were at least 18 to order. There is nothing like this. Isn't RCN selling Porn to underage children?
Not only am I concerned due to the cost but also what they are providing to children.

The thing is, it's still your responsibility to watch your child to make sure these things don't happen. They have no way of confirming that what you say is the truth. Think about it. I'm sure every day they get someone saying "I didn't actually order that movie my kid was playing with the remote" or some other story from people who probably DID order the movie and are trying to get out of it. I'm sorry, but lesson learned I guess. I don't know what RCN is, but through my cable you can set a parental password for pay channels and movies that keeps your kids from ordering. I'd look into that....
Posted by MRM on 2010-09-09:
Ytrop, you have said it first, set up a parental password. Bravo!
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2010-09-09:
You should have an option for parental control on your cable box, TV or whatever. Do you have that set? I believe it would be up to the company whether or not to waive those fees. Many people claim their underaged kids does this, and it's odd that it's always the 'porn' and not regular pay per view type movies. I'm not saying you're one of those people, but you have to realize, just how many dishonest people there are that will try pulling this on these companies.
In my opinion, all you can do is explain it to them and request the fee be dropped. Maybe even talk to more than one rep...sometimes, one rep will do what another is not willing.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-09-09:
There is a lock channel feature that as others have said, requires a password, or unsubscribe to the channel or channels.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-09-09:
I can see how, if a person didn't know it was an option, something like this could happen. RCN probably won't issue a credit, but I agree with DB, it doesn't hurt to try again. As much as I hate DirecTV's customer service, I will say when they were setting up my service, they walked me through all the options of how to set up parental controls and even block those channels from even showing up in the menu.

Do not underestimate your underage special needs child.
Posted by werelucky on 2010-09-10:
Did they ask you if you actually see your son push the buttons to order these three movies. Were they ordered all at once or three different times? Special need carries a wide spectrum of issues, did they ask how old this child was? If they were ordered all at once then you should of been refunded, if they were ordered at three different times, well......
Posted by punxnotdead80 on 2010-09-10:
Special needs is no excuse for bad behavior.
Posted by jktshff1 on 2010-09-10:
What the others said. Parental controls was my first thought also.
Posted by PepperElf on 2010-09-10:
i'm now wondering if the movies were viewed or not.
saying that your "special needs son ordered it by accident" may work if the movies were not viewed but if they can tell that the movies were viewed the bill still has to be paid.
kinda like... if the same son was in a grocery store and grabbed a candy bar and ate it, it would still have to be paid for even if he didn't have permission to get the bar or if he didn't understand it.
as others have suggestion it may be time to add in parental controls.
depending on your son's age, it is possible that his body is sending out signals that he might not be prepared to deal with.
Posted by MRM on 2010-09-10:
Once you click the order button, it's done deal.
Posted by Venice09 on 2010-09-10:
That was my thought on this too, Pepper. If the movies were ordered accidentally by pressing numbers and were never viewed, then the OP has a point. If the movies were watched, that's a whole different story.
As far as RCN providing porn to underage children, that's not a valid claim. The parents provide the service in the house, and it's their responsibility to monitor their children's viewing. RCN has no way of enforcing age requirements of viewers, only subscribers.
I am curious how old this child is and if the movies were watched.

Can this even be legal?
Posted by Xenocrisis on 08/14/2010
RCN has now taken to charging people an additional dollar on each bill paid (EVEN if paid on time), if you don't allow them access to your bank account for their auto pay program. Clearly they need competition in order to level the field and force them to behave ethically.

I think it's legal if they specify it in their contract, but I'm not sure. One thing I am sure about is they wouldn't get my business if they demanded, or tried to 'encourage' me to give them, access to my bank account for any reason. It's my account and it's up to me who gets access. If you can find another provider dump these guys.

Can they do anything they promise?
Posted by TaranJames on 03/06/2010
Recently I decided to hook cable up in my apartment for my husband who is a HUGE hockey fan. I have heard a lot of bad things about RCN in the past, but I thought it would not hurt to give them a chance. My husband called RCN one day not too long after setting up our service to add the NHL Center Ice Package to our account. We were already almost half way through the season and he asked the representative on the other end if we can have a prorated amount for the service. We were surprised at how easily this could be done. We were also informed by this representative that the package would not only be prorated but broken up into 4 installments. We confirmed with the agent several times before hanging our call up that we would be receiving the NHL Center Ice Package for $120 total and pay that by 4 installments of $30, one installment for the next 4 bills. Thinking this was reasonable and not too good to be true, we happily accepted and not too long after the call my husband was plopped right on the couch watching the Washington Capitals.
A few weeks later the RCN arrives in the mail and I almost hit the floor when I saw the bill. It was $90 more than what I expected!!! They had charged me the whole $120 right then and there! My husband who is much more reasonable and even tempered than me handled the task of calling customer service to square this mess away. He spent nearly 2 full hours on the phone with several different people. He first spoke to a young lady, she reviewed our account for him and did advise my husband that, yes, in fact the package was added incorrectly and our account was not billed correctly either. However, she explained to my husband that she cannot change the feature now and that we would have to pay the entire amount our or services will be shut off for lack of payment. Of course my husband politely fought back on this and eventually she did place him on hold to speak to a supervisor. After 20 MINUTES, yes MINUTES! she came back explaining that neither she or her supervisor can make the adjustments. My husband calmy escalated to her supervisor.
Now my husband is speaking with a gentleman who is the first representatives supervisor. He begins to explain to my husband that when sports packages are added to a customers account they are NOT able to be broken up or there will be double charges. My husband could not understand how on earth you could be double charged if you are making a certain number of payments of a specific amount that will equal to the total cost of what you are buying, how you may be double charged. This supervisor however did offer us a $5 credit on all of our bills for a year. Rather than arguging with this supervisor he escalated over him. He held for 43 minutes this time.
Now my husband was talking to a manager who really seemed as though she wanted to help. She was able to make adjustments to our account so the total amount will be broken up as follows. On the next bill we would be paying 1/3 of the cost of the package, and on the next bill we will pay the remaining balance (2/3 of the cost of the package) along with the $5 credit for the rest of the year (which we did not ask for). Exhausted but happy with some sort of solution where we were able to meet them halfway, although I do not believe we should have, we agreed and though the nightmare was over.
Now I am looking at my RCN bill that I just pulled out of the mailbox no more than 1 hour ago, and I swear if I were Mount St. Helen I would destroy earth! I am about to blow! Not only do we still owe the whole $120ish for the package but we did not receive that $5 credit we were promised. I working for customer service for a cell phone company have a understanding of how billing works. Maybe this bill was produced before the issue was allegedly resolved. I gave them a benefit of the doubt and just called into the automated system to hear my account balance. I was assuring myself the whole time I punched in my 13 digit account number that I would not hear the same amount printed on this paper, it would be lower and I could just kick off my shoes and relax.... I was wrong.
Nothing had been fixed! I'm fuming mad, I filed a complaint with the BBB. I am calling RCN first thing Monday morning and they will not be speaking to my husband. They will get the wrath of the account holder and I will make sure I get what I was promised. If I do not, I will rip all of their equipment from my entertainment center and return it right to their customer service office and cancel my service right then and there. They will not see a penny from me, but they will get a taste of legal action.
My advise, if you have a choice, do not choose RCN.

RCN is the worst company out there!
Posted by Snifflesmcg on 01/15/2010
100 BALTIMORE DR, PENNSYLVANIA -- I have been with RCN for 10 years now because they are the only company that offered the phone/cable/internet bundle. In that time, I've been SO unhappy! One may say "Why don't you just switch", it's because RCN is a monopoly in this area and I have no choice. They have horrible customer service. I set up a password 7 years ago on my account. Today they tell me a can not access my account without a NEW password and I can't set it up today, I have to fill out the letter they were going to mail me and then I can find out some information.
They gave us converter boxes a few months ago....charging us $3 per converter box, I needed two. They came out, set them up and I had a pixelated picture for a week. After asking for a credit, the gave me (hold onto your socks) $2.37! Oh and another thing, my very expensive Tivo didn't work like it used to due to only one tuner in the NEW converter box that I did NOT want in the first place. I was forced to buy a new HD Tivo for $300!
Since I had a bundled package, I had 5 phone features. Well, that was thrown out the window and then they started charging for the features that used to be free and then raised my package price without my knowledge.
The internet is constantly slow and often disconnects due to the router they have given me (for the price of $3 per month for renting it).
Last year they took away channels I had gotten for free and added them to the premium package that you have to pay extra for (like TruTv).
I am going to buy a house someone in a different area just so I can move away from the endless crap that I have dealt with for all of these years. If you were smart, stay away from these crooks.

Worst experience with RCN. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND RCN TO ANYBODY.
Posted by Ronak on 12/12/2009
LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK -- I had the RCN account for almost 2 1/2 year. I then had to move out of city in July so I needed to close the account. I called customer services to cancel it and they directed me to the billing department for cancellation of service. I had to wait for almost 35-45 min every time I tried. I am a busy person and can't hold phone for more than 30-40 min. So I could not get hold of them. I got that RCN connection from a person seating in the lobby of my building claiming himself as RCN agent. Almost all the residents who had RCN in that and surrounding buildings bought connection through him. His name is Zareef. I tried to call him to let him know that I need to cancel this connection as I was moving out. He never responded. Till the day of my moving, I was trying one or the other way to know what am I suppose to do with the modems. At last I left modems in the apartment and informed the owner of the apartment. After reaching my new place which is in different state, I tried RCN again to let them know that this is the case. A customer representative would take the call but would not help me to resolve my problem stating its job of billing department even after knowing that billing department won't take "cancellation call" before 45 mins. I stopped trying further as I did my bet enough. In October I got a phone call from RCN asking if I still live in the same apartment because someone called from that address for new connection. I told them the whole story and they then canceled my account!!!!!!! Let's say if no one would have come to occupy that apartment, RCN would never know whether I am still there or not. Ridiculous. They charged me with good amount of money for not returning modems. I told them that I tried what I could but could not get hold of them. That's not my fault. No one has time to hold phone for 45 minutes to cancel the service. I demanded explanation and told them that I am not going to pay this money because its not my fault. If their claimed agent is not responsible to call me back, I am not suppose to pay for their carelessness. Now I have received a letter stating that they might inform the credit bureau which will spoil my credit history. This is sort of harassment. I don't have any other choice but to pay that money. Additionally they have added some service charge strangely for using their service which I have stopped using for last 6 months. This is really ridiculous. This RCN company is very careless and don't care about customers. I WOULD RECOMMEND NOT TO TAKE THEIR CONNECTION BECAUSE SOME OR THE OTHER WAY IT CAUSES TROUBLE.

Their services
Posted by Beauty4ashes on 08/21/2009
RCN sucks. How can a city as big as Chicago only have two cable companies, that both sucks by the way? RCN doesn't have many options to chose from, and if you have problems with your services you can expect to be credited O for all your problems. Then the customer services representative don't speak good English and they aren't helpful at all. I wish Chicago will look into having better cable companies here. And they are too high for the lousy services that they provides

U.S. JOURNAL about a group of people living in Sumter County, S.C. called Turks. They are not really Turks. Throughout the Southeast there have always been communities of people who constitute a third race, usually discriminated against by whites and almost always segregating themselves from Negroes. They are dark-skinned people of mysterious origin. Most of the groups apparently descend from remnants of Indian tribes that long ago intermarried with whites and with freed or escaped slaves. "The men are mostly of the small-farmer or tenant class and most of them are poor," an article in the Columbia "State" said in 1928. Every Truk is certain that he is white and certain that his neighbors are ready to believe that he is part Negro. The founders of this community were 2 men who fought with Gen. Thomas Sumter during the American Revolution and were given land by the Genl. around his plantation. They were a Frenchman called Scott and Joseph Benenhaley, who is usually identified as a Moor or an Arab. The Turks were discriminated against and segregated until a few years after World War II. At first they succeeded in getting their children admitted into Hillcrest, the local white high school; later into grade school. Eventuall most local white students went to a private high school, but some white students, not local, from Shaw Air Force Base, do go to it.

When Richard Pitino took over the men's basketball program at Minnesota and dug into film of his returning players, one thing struck him about center Elliott Eliason.
"He was always hanging his head when he made a mistake," the first-year coach said Monday. "It looked to be a bigger deal than it needed to be. He was just beating himself up mentally during the game.''
Now, the 6-foot-11, 240-pound junior from Chadron, Neb., is more likely to force an opponent to cringe.
Eliason is second in the Big Ten in blocked shots at 2.7 per game and third in rebounding at 8.6 while adding 6.5 points a game on 50 percent shooting.
"He's aggravating to play against,'' ESPN analyst Jimmy Dykes said during Minnesota's 75-67 loss to No. 2 Syracuse. Eliason had six points, nine rebounds and five blocks despite being limited by foul trouble.
Michigan State found him similarly annoying last Saturday when the Gophers (13-4, 2-2) took the No. 4 Spartans to overtime in East Lansing before falling 87-75. Eliason had seven points, 11 rebounds and four blocks.
"I like him,'' MSU coach Tom Izzo said Monday. "I think he's made great progress. Like all big men, each year as you get more experienced, you make progress.
"He's a cornerstone for that program right now because he's solid, doesn't make a lot of mistakes, sets pretty good picks, rebounds pretty well and defends pretty well.''
If you think Eliason would look good in a Nebraska lineup that is starved for big-man play, it's not like the Huskers didn't try.
Eliason held a scholarship offer from former coach Doc Sadler for 15 months before saying no. Current NU coach Tim Miles had Eliason on a campus visit while at Colorado State, but he told the Rams no, too.
It's hard to argue with Eliason's decision, now having played for one coach who won a national title (Tubby Smith while at Kentucky) and another who has been in a Final Four (Pitino as an assistant at Louisville).
Eliason, who started 11 games as a freshman and 13 as a sophomore, has 16 starts in 17 games this season. He opened the year with 11 points and a career-high 17 rebounds against Lehigh. That was the first of five double-doubles. He also has blocked at least four shots in a game six times.
Pitino said Eliason wasn't in the best of condition when the new staff arrived, but worked hard to catch up.
"He has done a good job of transforming his body," Pitino said. "He's playing with a great motor. He's always done that. He's working hard every single day to impact games. The next step for him has got to be demanding the ball in the paint and, when we throw it to him, making something happen."
The way Eliason can do that is to keep his head up, not down.
"He has done a much better job of not letting things affect his game," Pitino said. "He is playing so much more confident because of that.'

On Sunday, October 3, U.S. Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) will visit Union Baptist Church as it celebrates its designation as a National Register of Historic Landmarks by the U.S. National Park Service in recognition of the Church's history and architecture.
Union Baptist Church was founded in 1852 and it has made important contributions to the civil rights movement. In 1892, the Church withdrew from the Maryland Union Association because of discrimination, and over the years the congregation has been a national leader in the fight for civil rights. Union Baptist Church also has a rich architectural history. In 1905, internationally and nationally known architect William J. Beardsley designed the current Church, which is located on Druid Hill Avenue. The Church also is known for its antique stained glass windows, designed by John LaFarge.
· WHAT: Senator Cardin to join Union Baptist Church as it celebrates its designation as a National Register of Historic Landmarks
· WHEN: Sunday, October 3rd at 12:15 pm.
· WHERE: Union Baptist Church,

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120403/NE80973LOGO )
Notable growth statistics for 2013 include:
The company's success in 2013 is a reflection of the value that Nasuni's cloud-integrated storage service brings to the architecture, engineering, manufacturing and legal sectors. In law firms, for example, Nasuni enables practices to provision massive amounts of secure, cloud-based storage within minutes, eliminating many of the challenges associated with litigation support data.
In architecture and engineering, Nasuni enables enterprise IT to provide uniform storage, backup and disaster recovery to offices around the world. IT can manage its global storage from a single location while simultaneously giving their users fast access to the most recent version of files, including the massive CAD files which form the core IP of these professional services firms.
In manufacturing, Nasuni is giving enterprise IT teams a way to make sure their data is safe and protected – especially the information coming from tools and automated machines that are core to the manufacturing process. Using cloud-based synchronization, Nasuni ensures integral data is safe and available all the way from the plant floor to the corporate boardroom – all while helping these companies achieve significant savings over traditional storage solutions.
Some of Nasuni's customers in 2013 include:
"Nasuni continues to grow exponentially because we offer previously unthinkable storage capabilities – centralized management with uniform storage, backup and disaster recovery to all locations – at a price that's typically far less than an organization's backup budget alone," said Andres Rodriguez, CEO of Nasuni. "Our storage innovations have particularly resonated with law firms, architects and engineers because we solve industry-specific storage problems that previously had no solution. We've only just begun to tap this multi-billion dollar market, so we expect to continue our exponential growth into 2014 and beyond."

Nasuni is an enterprise storage company that provides globally-distributed organizations with a simple, unified storage solution that includes mobile access for all of their remote and branch offices. By combining on-premise hardware with cloud storage, Nasuni delivers a secure, all-in-one data storage solution that provides local performance for users, simplified and centralized management for IT, and an easily scalable, complete remote office storage solution for the enterprise.

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
- Which Democrat Will Next Head the House Financial Services Committee?November 29, 2011 1:45 PM
With upcoming retirement of Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), House Democrats will be vying for the role of top dog on the House Financial Services Committee, where Frank has been the highest ranking Democrat since 2003. Like Frank, many of the other high-ranking Democrats on the committee exhibit intimate ties with the industries with interests before them. Here's a primer on who could be next in line for the reigns of Democratic power after Frank's departure next year.
- Jet Setting Politicians, Bundling Lobbyists and More in Capital Eye Opener: April 27April 27, 2010 10:03 AM
Retiring Rep. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.), the chairman of the House Committee on Science and Technology, is taking heat for racking up travel expenses on the taxpayer's dime, according to Roll Call. Gordon announced he was retiring in December, but has since visited or plans to visit Denmark, Italy, France, Switzerland and China -- all on official business and paid for by taxpayers.
- Politicians Contribute Big Money to Protect Their Partisan BrethrenApril 13, 2010 12:00 PM
Particularly vulnerable or especially promising politicians often receive financial help from their fellow partisans who want success on election day. Toward this end, party leaders and others may transfer or contribute money from their candidate committees and leadership PACs to these targeted candidates.
- Bill to Grant Federal Marriage Benefits to Gay & Lesbian Couples Faces Uphill BattleSeptember 15, 2009 3:15 PM
Democratic Congressman Jerrold Nadler of New York introduced a bill today to repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. Groups advocating for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues and rights, however, face an uphill battle on K Street and Capitol Hill to pass it.
- Congressmen Hear from TARP Recipients Who Funded Their CampaignsFebruary 10, 2009 9:18 PM
The eight CEOs testifying Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee about how their companies are using billions of dollars in bailout funds may find that the hot seat is merely lukewarm. Nearly every member of the committee received contributions associated with these financial institutions during the 2008 election cycle, for a total of $1.8 million.
- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

A Container is a "storage compartment" for your data and provides a way for you to organize that data. You can think of a Container as analogous to a folder in Windows® or a directory in UNIX®. The primary difference between a Container and these other "file system" constructs is that Containers cannot be nested. You can have up to 500,000 Containers in your account, but they only exist at the "top level" of your account and Containers cannot reside within other Containers.
Note: Containers only scale to about one million objects before peformance degrades. If you're a developer, you should be aware that Containers can only be removed from Cloud Files if they do NOT contain any storage Objects. In other words, make sure the Container is empty before attempting to delete it. The Control Panel interface does allow you to delete a Container regardless of it being empty or not. The interface will prompt you prior to removing the Container and deleting any storage Objects.

Derby Designs
Apr 9, 2014
Inspired by vintage Toile prints from the '60s and '70s, focusing on action scenes from the Kentucky Derby® track and race. Details for the type of horse, the color, even down to the movement of the mane, were provided by the Churchill Downs® Organization.
Our Women's Designer was really inspired by the old school preppy-ness of this type of print, and worked closely with our in-house Illustrator on the the layout of the scene, making sure to include really interesting and relevant details about the track and the race.
Meet Katie, Our In-House Illustrator
"We really wanted to create that great conversational piece that a woman would talk about and wear at the Derby. There is so much detail in the print that you could look at it for hours and find something interesting or something historical. It is a special print that's supposed to resonate with the people who frequent the Derby and can relate to things they see every time they go, as well as people who are going to the Derby for the first time and can appreciate all the excitement of the race with the historical significance that the Derby represents!"

Each organization will receive a $15,000 Arts & History Economic Development Grants in recognition and support of the positive impact each organization makes on Boise's economy, said Mayor Dave Bieter.
Also, Boise Contemporary Theater, the Boise Philharmonic and the Basque Museum & Cultural Center each will receive $10,000 from the city's Economic Development fund, which was created in 2009 from the rental of the City's rail property in southeast Boise.
Boise's arts community generates upwards of $48 million of local economy and about 1,600 full-time jobs.
"These economic development grants are an investment by the city to ensure our community will continue to enjoy the dividends these arts groups bring to our community," Bieter said.
The Arts & History Economic Development Grant program is funded through the current year only, and will be reviewed in future years as resources allow.
Trey McIntyre Project dancer Chanel DaSilva and the company interacts with students regularly as part of the company's Engagement programs.

Entering the 2012 season, seniors on the Red Raider football
team had two goals they had not yet accomplished in their collegiate career
– win a Big 12 Conference championship and beat Texas.
With a 31-22 loss to the Longhorns (7-2, 4-2 in Big 12 play)
on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium, both of those goals will go left
unchecked after the seniors hang it up at the end of the season.
"I mean it's our last chance at UT," senior quarterback Seth Doege said. "It's our last chance to really try to do something special here
that nobody has done before and give us an opportunity to do that. So that's
out of it too … But it hurts to know that the goals you were after and you set
for your team going into the season kind of went out the door with this loss."
Doege finished the game going 26-for-44 for 329 yards and
one touchdown, but chances to cash in for seven came a plenty.
Tech (6-3, 3-3) drove into the red-zone five times,
converting only two of those trips into seven points, the other three for field
The Longhorns defense stalled Tech's drives multiple times,
but penalties also hindered the Red Raiders, nine for 85 yards including a
crucial holding penalty against Tech late in the fourth quarter after Kenny Williams had ran the ball into the end-zone.
"A lot of disappointment, obviously," Tech head coach Tommy
Tuberville said following the loss. "We just shot ourselves in the foot. Made
too many mistakes against a good football team. The last two weeks we've done
that, so hopefully we can correct that."
Neither Tech offensive coordinator Neal Brown, nor defensive
coordinator Art Kaufman was made available to the media following the loss.
The Red Raider defense has seen their share of struggles the
last two weeks, giving up the big plays and that was its achilles heel against
the Longhorns.
Texas had six plays go for 20 or more yards, including a 25
and 75-yard touchdown passes from Longhorn gunslinger David Ash, who finished
11-for-19 for 264 yards and three touchdowns, to Mike Davis, who finished the game
with four catches for 165 yards.
Tech middle linebacker Will Smith said there were
adjustments made on the defensive side of the ball, but done a little to late.
"There were a few minor adjustments," he said, "but it's
just about settling down and just paying attention to what you already know.
Just simple things like that that we should have done earlier that could have
helped us prevent a couple more early scores."
Now the Red Raiders have to regroup this week and prepare
for their final home game of the season as Kansas comes into Lubbock following
a 41-14 loss to the Baylor Bears in Waco on Saturday.
Despite the loss to Texas, Doege knows the team needs to
recover and get ready for the next one against the Jayhawks.
"Yeah, it's tough, but that's part of it. I think we've been
around long enough to know that there are three games still left," Doege said.
"We can still, like I said, we can still make a special season out of this.
Three winnable games just like this one. But we've got to learn from the mistakes
on this film and this game, continue to push forward, continue to get better as
a football team and try to up our bowl game, whatever it may be."
