Reducing college costs continues to be a hot topic of discussion, especially given survey results that show that college affordability is a growing public concern. Recent congressional acts, including the education provisions in the stimulus bill President Obama will sign today, the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008, and last year's reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, have kept the issue in focus, as have economic events, such as losses to 529 plans, rising unemployment, and new financial troubles for colleges. A wide range of ideas have attracted the attention of lawmakers and the media, including several suggestions making the rounds this month.
Jesse Jackson recently wrote an article in the Chicago Sun-Times suggesting that Congress pass a law to offer a 1% interest rate on federal student loans, including Stafford Loans and PLUS Loans. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune ran a column in January that went even further, suggesting that the federal government forgive all student loan debt. Meanwhile, Lamar Alexander, a republican Senator from Tennessee, has gotten some publicity for suggesting that more colleges offer three-year paths to degrees, as one of many potential cost-saving measures. Some states are looking into "no-frills" universities, and partnerships between state colleges and community colleges are also gaining traction as cost-saving options.
So we were wondering what people who are in the process of paying for college think. What would you like to see happen to make college more affordable and reduce the burden of student loan debt on college graduates?
February 25, 2009
In a speech delivered before a joint session of Congress, President Obama called for every American to complete at least one year of postsecondary education and pledged greater financial support for those attending college. He also urged that America become the "best educated" nation and set the goal of having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020.
In addition to healthcare and alternative energy, the president declared education to be a top priority for improving America's economy and its place in the world. He called on families, schools, and Congress to embrace this priority, and to better prepare citizens for careers that increasingly require some amount of education or training beyond high school.
President Obama promised greater funding for higher education in the federal budget for 2010. This may include the educational tax benefits he advocated in his campaign, as well as other increases to federal student financial aid. He once again mentioned community service or other national service as requirements for future financial aid.
In addition to pledging greater state support, he also asked for an individual commitment by each American to not only graduate from high school, but to set college goals and attend a college, university, community college, or vocational training program for at least one year. In addition to helping people succeed individually, greater education and training can lead to greater success for society.
Obviously, problems with paying for school will not disappear overnight. But with help from schools and the government, individuals who work hard and make higher education a priority can reap the benefits, despite the challenges that remain.

A bill to expand AmeriCorps and create new community service opportunities has passed the House of Representatives. The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education, or GIVE, Act passed today with bipartisan support in the House, and a similar bill, named the Serve America Act, has also been approved by the Senate education committee. It will move to the Senate floor early next week, where it is expected to be met with a similar level of enthusiasm. National service has been a priority of the Obama administration, so expect to see opportunities for community service expand shortly.
Over the course of five years, the bill will appropriate $6 billion to AmeriCorps, increasing positions from 75,000 to 250,000 and also increasing education stipends to $5,350--the same dollar amount as Federal Pell Grants. The GIVE Act also includes provisions to encourage middle school students to volunteer, as well as funding to increase volunteerism on college campuses. The GIVE Act will create volunteer programs focused on issues that have become major priorities in recent years, such as education and healthcare.
This legislation is heralded as the largest expansion in national service since the Kennedy administration. While AmeriCorps and other volunteer programs pay far less than a full-time job, many students have been showing increased interest in them due to the education stipends and living allowances they provide, as well as the opportunities for service and unique experiences volunteers gain. People serving full-time in positions affiliated with AmeriCorps or other programs also qualify for a new federal loan forgiveness program, which forgives Stafford loan debt for public service employees after ten years.
April 22, 2009
Yesterday, President Obama signed into law a bill to expand Americorps, a national service program that provides small stipends to people of all ages engaged in volunteer work throughout the country. The act, officially known as the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, paves the way for Americorps to grow in size from its present 75,000 volunteers to as many as 250,000 volunteers by 2017.
In addition to creating more volunteer positions, the Serve America Act will also increase the education stipend for volunteers to $5,350, the same amount as Federal Pell Grants. This will enable more recent graduates and people currently attending college to participate in Americorps programs, which are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to employment in the current economy.
The national service bill, sponsored by Senator Kennedy, quickly made its way through both houses of Congress, receiving bipartisan support, as well as a ringing endorsement from President Obama, who has long been a proponent of community service. Congress still needs to find funding for Americorps to begin to expand, but a provision to provide an immediate 25% increase in funding to the program was included in Obama's 2010 budget proposal.

Loan forgiveness programs have been helping encourage students to enter careers in fields like education and nursing for years. Such programs are typically offered by state student loan agencies or non-profit organizations, and are often well-publicized to prospective college students. In many cases, students have borrowed liberally, banking on having a substantial portion of their student loans forgiven after five or ten years of work in their field. But budget cuts and stock market woes have been forcing agencies to make cuts to their loan forgiveness programs, in some cases almost entirely eliminating them.
Kentucky, Iowa, California, and New Hampshire are some of the states that have made changes to loan forgiveness programs, according to The New York Times. Even if you don't live in one of these states, if you're banking on having your student loan debt forgiven after you graduate college, you may want to see what guarantees there are that your state's program will still exist in its present form. Make sure you know how much of what you borrow you can expect to repay, even in a worst case scenario.
Regardless of repayment and forgiveness options, it's still a good idea to minimize your borrowing by finding scholarships and practicing good money management. Nursing scholarships and education scholarships are out there, as are numerous other scholarship opportunities. There are also several federal loan forgiveness programs for teachers, nurses, and other public service employees.
June 2, 2009
Last week, we blogged about states and loan companies making cuts to student loan forgiveness programs. The New York Times initially ran a piece on these budget cuts and has followed up this week with a chart of state loan forgiveness programs and their current financial status. If you're planning on using one of these programs to cancel some of your student debt after college, you can head over to their website to see if your program is among those facing potential budget cuts. If you don't see it listed, The New York Times is encouraging people to contact state and local loan forgiveness programs and report back with details.
While many state programs are facing cuts, federal loan forgiveness programs have expanded in recent years. New federal options include a public service loan forgiveness program and a repayment plan set to debut next month that will forgive students' remaining balances of federal student loans after 25 years of income-based payments. Congress has also approved more funding for Americorps, which can help volunteers pay for school. Cancellation programs for Perkins Loans may also become more popular if an expansion to the Perkins Loan program is approved in the 2010 federal budget.
Regardless of the state of your loan repayment and forgiveness options, keep in mind there is free money out there. Grants and scholarships are available for virtually every student based on any number of characteristics and criteria. For example, many groups offer nursing scholarships and education scholarships, among other major-specific awards. To find out more, do a free college scholarship search.

Samantha P. spent her childhood in Akwesasne, a Mohawk Nation territory on the New York-Canada border. When she moved from her Mohawk-language elementary school to an English-language middle school, she saw students from her reservation struggling with the abrupt transition and knew where her future would lead her. To help Samantha complete a degree in Education at the State University of New York at Potsdam and prepare for a career helping students from her community excel in both English and Mohawk, Scholarships.com has named Samantha the 2009 recipient of the annual $1,000 College Education Scholarship.
Scholarships.com has been awarding Area of Study College Scholarships since summer 2008 to help students like Samantha meet their college and career goals. The competition grants a $1,000 scholarship each month to a high school senior or undergraduate student planning to pursue a career in one of 13 areas of study, such as Education.
"Education is an important field in need of passionate and forward-thinking individuals," said Emily Hilleren, Director of Content for Scholarships.com. "Samantha's dedication to her area of study and commitment to a multicultural approach to teaching made her entry stand out among the numerous applications we received. Scholarships.com is honored to play a role in funding her college education with this scholarship award."
Scholarship applicants are asked to describe what influenced their career choices. In her essay, Samantha described her goal of becoming an English teacher near the community where she grew up, so that she could "incorporate traditional Mohawk stories like 'The Creation Story' with classics like 'Romeo and Juliet'" to instill in her students a passion for reading and writing. "I want my students to be chameleons and blend into the world of the Mohawk culture and the English world that surrounds them," she wrote.
The Scholarships.com Area of Study Scholarships are open to all U.S. citizens who will be attending college in the coming fall, regardless of age, test scores or grade point average. To apply for the Scholarships.com Area of Study College Scholarships, students can conduct a free scholarship search and complete an online scholarship application.

President Obama announced a renewed focus on "Educate to Innovate" yesterday, this time targeting the need for more math and science teachers. As part of the most recent developments involving that initiative, leaders representing more than 120 public universities pledged to do their part to increase the total number of math and science teachers from 7,500 to 10,000 by 2015. Of those who pledged that promise to the White House, 41 said they would double the number of teachers they trained in that same period.
"Educate to Innovate" was first announced last November. The program was first announced with the aims to encourage more middle and high school students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The program called on outside organizations to spend their own money and time to educate students on the kinds of things they could do in those fields, and improve their skill sets in those areas. This time around, the focus was on the colleges. The Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities has admitted it could do more to not only get more students interested in the maths and sciences, but to better prepare those who do pursue those fields to make the United States more competitive on the international scene in those disciplines.
The White House also announced that the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowships in Math and Science program would be expanded to include Michigan and Ohio, the National Math + Science Initiative's UTeach program would be expanded to include 20 additional universities, and that NASA, in partnership with companies, non-profits, and states, will launch a pilot program to enhance learning opportunities in STEM fields for students during the summer.
If you're already interested in science and math, make sure you know about all of the scholarship opportunities that could be available to you. As more emphasis is placed those fields of study, the incentives to pursue those disciplines will grow, so the time is now to apply for funding to pursue a degree in a STEM field. The National Science and Mathematics Access to Retail Talent (SMART) Grant is awarded to undergraduates in their third or fourth year. Eligible recipients must already be Pell recipients, and the maximum award is $4,000. If you're interested in competitions, the Intel Science Talent Search targets high school seniors with original research. To see whether you qualify for any of these or thousands of other scholarships, many of them related to the maths or sciences, conduct a free scholarship search to see the kind of awards you're eligible for.

Perhaps, for the time being, American colleges (see Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc.) are among the most desirable in the world, but there is some concern that this might not always be so and that perhaps this shouldn't be taken for granted.
Before Toyota started shipping automobiles to the United states in ever-increasing quantities, General Motors ruled. The American car was king in the U.S. and led all other auto companies world-wide for three quarters of a century. That began to change in the 80's and now it is not uncommon, even right here in the heartland of America, to see more Japanese cars on your morning commute than those manufactured in the United St. Could we have learned a lesson from Japan? Taken a page from their playbook maybe and avoided the enormous failure and subsequent government bailout of what was once the auto sales leader for 77 consecutive years? There are those who believe education is set on a similar trajectory. Here are five things we might want to consider:

As a regular attendee at the Courtyard theatre, I got to know which seats were sold as 'restricted view' but really weren't. Circle B 50 / B24 being two of them.
It looks like B53 / B31 are the corresponding 'cheap seats's in the RST. Has anyone sat in these? What is the view like?
Do you know of any particularly good value seats at the RST & Swan?

G35, 36, 48, 49 stalls. 2 pairs of seats, no armrests and not that comfy (but loads of legroom), but the view is that of a premium seat. They're priced at band C I think.
Posted 19 June 2012 - 03:30 PM
Yes, I sat in one of those the first time I sat in the RST, splendid (plus if you carry a bag and like the idea of keeping it with you there's plenty of space next to you to store it). But as Pharoah II said a minute ago, they are not that comfortable.
You pay for what you get, I guess :-)

Thanks. Those seats are already sold for the date I can go. but I'll definitely bear them in mind for the future.
B32 in the circle is available for the princely sum of £12. It's got to be worth a shot, surely.

Bear in mind it isn't a circle, it is a square so 32 could be right in the corner and you would be looking at bakcs of actors though they tend to walk around a lot. Also upstairs at the Courtyard is a tad vertigo ish, well for me anyway. You will have to lean over those in Row A a teeny bit. but basically, yes you get what you pay for and the whole theatre has an intimate feel despite the size.

Last weekend I saw Richard III and King John from the middle of the front of the gallery, and was pleasantly surprised at how close I was to the stage. (A25 and A28 I think). Good value for £22

FORTUNE -- As the Murdochs face questioning, concerns have arisen over what the News Corp board knew about the scandal and when it began to realize that these issues were serious.
Tom Perkins, a News Corp (NWS) director told the New York Times, "independent board members 'were stunned to discover the magnitude of the scandal over the last 10 days.'"
Although the magnitude stunned him in July, Perkins sold his shares in News Corp earlier this year after maintaining consistent holdings in the company's stock.
The News Corp 2008, 2009, and 2010 annual proxy filings showed that Perkins had consistent holdings in class A and class B stock: 6,000 shares of the company's class A stock and 21,750 shares of its class B stock.
But that changed this year -- he no longer holds those News Corp shares.
On February 8, Perkins sold half his class B shares and on May 19, he sold his remaining class A and class B shares, according to filings with the SEC.
Perhaps the board is so surprised about the scandal now, because as Perkins told the New York Times, there haven't been that many discussions about the hacking: "'The board did discuss this several times two or three years ago, maybe earlier,'" and "the board 'is fully supportive of the top management.'"
John Thornton, another News Corp board member, doesn't hold any shares in the company's stock and hasn't according to the last three annual proxies. Viet Dinh, another director, holds a relatively small number of shares.
Only time will tell whether support of the stock and support of the management go hand in hand. The company used to have "equity ownership requirements" for directors, according to the company's 2008 proxy. Those requirements were not included in the company's 2009 or 2010 proxy reports.
Keep your eyes on the SEC filings to see who will be buying or selling next.
Eleanor Bloxham is CEO of The Value Alliance and Corporate Governance Alliance (http://thevaluealliance.com), a board advisory firm.
While some suggest that News Corp. board member Tom Perkins is the company's best hope for turning a new leaf at the beleaguered company, his track record raises serious doubts. By Eleanor BloxhamJul 18, 2011 9:10 AM ET

Daily Fantasy Basketball Recap: 3.2.12
by Jason on Mar.02, 2012, under Quick hits
Beast of the Night: LeBron James posted a sick line to the tune of 38 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, five steals, one block and two three-pointers. He shot 59 percent (13-22) from the field, 83 percent (10-12) from the free-throw line and had zero turnovers (in 41 minutes of play). Sure, the absence of Chris Bosh helped, but these sorts of nights are expected from the No. 1 fantasy stud in the land.
Lines for Discussion:
Kevin Durant: 12-21 FG (57%), 9-9 FT (100%), 5 threes, 38 Pts, 8 Reb, 3 Ast, 5 TO; on most other nights, this would've been worthy of "Best of the Night" honors
Nikola Pekovic: 6-12 FG (50%), 2-2 FT (100%), 14 Pts, 9 Reb, 1 Blk, 2 TO; Pekovic has cooled off lately, but he'll bounce back sooner than later
Mo Williams: 7-14 FG (50%), 4 threes, 18 Pts, 1 Reb, 5 Ast, 3 Stl, 1 TO; Williams is getting a steady diet of minutes but has failed to take full advantage of them, mostly because of his struggles from the field
Tyreke Evans: 7-21 FG (33%), 4-4 FT (100%), 18 Pts, 6 Reb, 3 Ast, 3 Blk, 4 TO; in his two games as a starting small forward, Evans is averaging 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 3.5 turnovers, while shooting 33 percent from the floor
Waiver-Wire Watch (four stars = must add; one star = keep an eye on him):
Kendrick Perkins: 4 Pts, 11 Reb, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, 1 TO (**)
Luke Ridnour: 15 Pts, 2 Reb, 8 Ast, 3 Stl, 1 TO (**)
Grant Hill: 20 Pts, 5 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Blk, 1 TO (**)
Udonis Haslem: 11 Pts, 14 Reb, 1 Stl, 1 Blk (***)
LeBron James (wrist): monitor his status for tonight
Chris Bosh (personal): he won't play tonight
Deron Williams (foot): didn't practice Thursday, but will play tonight
Russell Westbrook (ankle): monitor his status
James Anderson (back): day-to-day
Danny Green (stinger): monitor his status
J.J. Hickson (hip): day-to-day
Willie Green (back): questionable tonight
For Tonight:
Kobe Bryant will play his second game in a mask tonight, as the Lakers host the Kings. See how Evans fares at SF again.
For Next Week:
5 games: DAL
4 games: ATL, BOS, CHA, CHI, CLE, DEN, GSW, HOU, IND, LAC, LAL, MIL, MIN, NJN, NOR, NYK, OKC, ORL, PHI, POR, SAC, TOR, UTA
3 games: DET, MEM, MIA, PHO, WAS
2 games: SAS

Hurricane-strength gusts set loose a Carnival cruise ship which had been tethered to a dock in Mobile, Alabama on Wednesday. The ship, known as Triumph, is undergoing repairs following a February engine fire. No one was injured in Wednesday's incident; all crew members and contractors were accounted for.

The crippled cruise ship whose sewage-filled breakdown in the Gulf of Mexico subjected thousands to horrendous conditions tore loose Wednesday from the dock where it's being repaired, lumbered downriver and crunched into a cargo ship.

Porsche has spent years working on their 911 , but while that might be their ultimate sports car, the Boxster is one of their best sellers. It was first seen as a disgrace to the Porsche name, as it was smaller and not as powerful, but once the Cayenne came along, all was forgiven.
The first ever Boxster was introduced in late 1996 as a 1997 model and a 2.5-liter flat six-cylinder engine powered it. Three years later, the new Boxster S variant was introduced with a larger 3.2-liter motor, while the base model received a more powerful 2.7-liter engine.
More changes came in 2003, 2005, and then again in 2007, when the Boxster got some of the stuff from the baby 911, called the Cayman . In 2009, the Boxster models received several new cosmetic and mechanical upgrades that upped the power and performance.
The changes kept coming and the Boxster kept taking them all in. Now the Boxster has been updated one more time and is looking better than ever.
UPDATE 03/14/2012: The Boxster S model lapped the Nurburgring race track in an impressive 7:58 - or about 18 seconds shy of the new, more powerful Porsche 911 which scored an heart-racing time of 7:40.
This speedy lap time means the Boxster S is faster than models like the Corvette C6 (7:59), the Viper SRT-10 (7:59), and the C63 AMG Coupe (8:01) - which are far more powerful than the tiny Boxster. This result also makes the new generation better than the model it replaces which had a lap time of 8:10.
UPDATE 06/08/2012: Porsche has found a very interesting way to promote the new generation Boxster: the company displayed the 2013 Boxster S and some members of its iconic lineage - the 550 Spyder and the Carrera GT - at Grand Central Terminal. Check out the video by clicking in the image above!
Hit the jump to read more on the Porsche Boxster.
Porsche isn't the best when it comes to designing things. One look at the first generation Cayenne and that becomes perfectly clear. There are more examples as well, as the 911 has been updated every few years, but not much ever changes visually. While Ferrari are the Versace of style, Porsche is the Kmart brand.
Although the new Boxster might look like the current model at first sight, when you look really hard you can see that every panel is all new. The front of the vehicle was inspired by the Porsche race cars of the 1970s and features a completely new lightweight body and a completely revamped chassis. It also gets large, imposing air intakes, a long wheelbase, and a low, raked windshield. Elements like the distinctive wings and the side air intakes were inspired by the 718 RS 60 Spyder. For the back of the Boxster, Porsche added a rear wing that is only visual when the car hits a top speed of 75 mph.
The new Porsche Boxster will be offered with a fully electric convertible top that opens and closes in about 9 seconds and is operable at speeds up to 31 mph.
While the exterior was updated to deliver better performance, the interior "is purposefully designed as a declaration of independence." It was updated with a 3-spoke sports steering wheel and three circular dashboard instruments. The information on the on-board computer, communication, audio settings, and the navigation system are now displayed on a high-resolution 4.6-inch TFT color screen. It also received standard sport seats which were designed to be comfortable and provide excellent support even during performance driving.
Both models, the Boxster and Boxster S, are powered by a flat-six engine with direct petrol injection. In the base version the engine has a displacement of 2.7 liters and delivers a total of 265 HP, while the S version gets a 3.4 liter version with 315 HP. Both versions can be combined with either a manual six-speed gearbox as standard or a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) available as an option.
When equipped with the manual gearbox, the Boxster will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds and up to a top speed of 164 mph. With the PDK transmission, the model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and up to a top speed of 162 mph. The Boxster S will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and will hit a top speed of 173 mph when equipped with a manual gearbox and can make the sprint in 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 172 mph when equipped with a PDK transmission. The Porsche Boxster's fuel consumption with PDK is 7.7 l/100 km and 8.0 l/100 km for the Boxster S.
The new Boxster will go on sale at a starting price of $49,500 and the S version can be had for a starting price of $60,900.
The Competition
The obvious competition for the Boxster are the other German sports roadsters, like the BMW Z4, theAudi TT , and the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class . Nissan's 370Z might also be in the same conversation.
The SLK features a hard-top folding roof, so weight will be a bigger issue for the Mercedes. Being a couple years away from launch, the information of the next SLK is still fairly scarce. Most sources suggest the current lineup of engines will carryover to the next SLK. That means that the base motor will be a six-cylinder with about 230 horsepower, while the upper model will get a 300 horsepower 3.5L V6.
BMW isn't planning on any major updates for the Z4, but that doesn't mean it won't be competitive. The Z4 has a smooth motor, wonderful handling, great looks, and top notch build quality. Like the SLK, it has a retractable hard-top. There are three models to choose from; sDrive30i, sDrive35i, and sDrive35is.
The Audi, like the Z4, doesn't have any major changes coming its way. The car is available with a four- or six-cylinder engine. The entry-level turbocharged inline-four motor delivers 200 horsepower, while the larger V6 mill serves up 250 horsepower. There is also a TT-S and a TT-RS . The RS is powered by a direct injected and turbocharged 2.5 Liter five cylinder engine that makes 335 HP. For the TT-S , the standard 2.0 TFSI power plant has been upgraded to produce 265 HP and 260 lb-ft of torque We like the look of the TT the best out of the other four, though we will have to wait and see how it compares stylistically to the 2012 Boxster.
Finally,Nissan offers up something a little less German. Although Nissan might not have the same high-end badge as the other two, it drives around the track with just as much authority. That being said, the 370Z is a little harder on the road. The370Z has a V6 displacing 3.7-liters and delivering 332 horsepower and 26 mpg on the highway.
Overall, the competition is fierce, but not much compared to the Boxster's overall handling and performance. As an everyday vehicle, the Porsche is just wonderful.

'What an exciting day for the Congress. Some of you are too young to know this, but you've read about it in history books. I remember when President Kennedy came forward in 1961 and said that he was going to inaugurate a program that would send a man to the moon and back safely within 10 years.
'Now, for those of you who weren't born yet and just read about it in history books, you have to know that sending a man to the moon was such an impossible idea at that time. It would almost be like a magician cutting somebody in half and then putting him together again. How could this possibly happen, that somebody would go into the sky, to the moon, and then come back?
'In his remarks, President Kennedy made the following statement: 'The vows of this nation can only be fulfilled if we are first, and therefore, we intend to be first. Our leadership in science and in industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to our selves as well as others, all require us to make this effort.'
'This is our Innovation Agenda which is reflected in the innovation legislation before us today. In answering President Kennedy's call at that time, to put a man on the moon,
'Today, Congress has the opportunity to make a decision for the future.
'Nearly two years ago, House Democrats created our Innovation Agenda, in a bipartisan way, which guarantees our national security and economic prosperity, expands markets for American products, and asserts our leadership throughout the world in the decades to come.
'Already this year, the New Direction Congress has led the way in promoting innovation in investments in education, science, and research and development.
'Today, with the America COMPETES Act, we have bipartisan, bicameral legislation that implements much of the Innovation Agenda.
'The COMPETES Act focuses on four key areas: education, research and development, energy independence, and small business.
'In education, the COMPETES Act recognizes that
'What I love about this bill is that it's market-oriented, public-private, entrepreneurial-partnership, to keep us number one.
'We know that independent scientific research provides, innovation begins in the classroom and that scientific research provides the foundation for innovation and future technologies. The COMPETES Act makes a sustained commitment to research and development by putting us on a path to doubling funding for the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, and the Department of Energy's Office of Science.
'I heard Congressman Wamp with great enthusiasm talk about the ARPA for energy, I'm excited about it as well. To help achieve energy independence, the COMPETES Act focuses on energy research and innovation by creating a new Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy (ARPA-E).
'This new initiative will provide talent and resources for high-risk, high-reward energy research and technology development, and attract investment for the next generation of revolutionary technologies.
'And finally, the America COMPETES Act recognizes that small businesses are often the catalysts for technological innovation, and the backbone of a strong economy. It puts us on a path to doubling the funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, and creates a new initiative, the Technology Innovation Program, to support high-risk, high-reward, pre-competitive technology for small and medium size companies.
'Because this bill is a decision in favor of future jobs, and future economic strength, it has earned the endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce, many university Presidents, ITI, TechNet, and the National Association of Manufacturers, among others.
'I urge all of my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, to support it. And before I close I want to acknowledge the great leadership of Science and Technology Chairman Bart Gordon, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, and Congressman George Miller who is the chair of our policy committee, for the work they did in bringing people together, Democrats and Republicans, entrepreneurs, high-tech, bio-tech, academics, people in the work-force, students, venture capitalists. Meetings were held all over the country to put together the Innovation Agenda, which is reflected in this legislation.
'In passing this bill, we're asserting global economic leadership, create new business ventures and jobs and give future generations the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.
'I began my remarks, Mr. Speaker, by quoting President Kennedy, who is an inspiration to so many of us of a certain generation who are active in public service today. He harkened back to our founders and our vows to our nation, and I want to hearken back to that place too, because our founders were among the earliest American entrepreneurs. They were magnificent disrupters, they thought in new and fresh and different ways.
'They came together, imagine the confidence they had; they declared their independence from the great Naval power in existence at the time, did so in a declaration that asserted the quality of all people, and then went forward to win the Revolutionary War, write a Constitution that made us the freest people in the world. And when they did so, they designed the great seal of the United States. And on that great seal it says 'Novus Ordo Seclorum.' These people, with all that revolutionary spirit, with all that disruption of that status quo, had so much confidence in what they were doing, so much faith in themselves, faith in this country to be, and faith in God, that they said what they were establishing was for the century, for the ages. Seclorum. Those of you who know Latin know that that means 'forever.' And it was that optimism, that confidence that built America.
'It is in that spirit, of disruption of change, of doing something different, of having a big goal of aspiring to greatness that we as President Kennedy said: 'Do honor the vows of our nation,' and this legislation is in their pioneer and entrepreneurial spirit.'

The Ark Encounter, a Noah's Ark-centered "edu-tainment" theme park to be built in Northern Kentucky, has faced repeated attacks since December when Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear announced plans for its construction. One of the more egregious examples of bad reporting appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The editors claimed it was "outrageous" to divert money budgeted for Kentucky's schools to "help fund" the Ark Encounter and to put taxpayers "on the hook" for the Ark's cost.
What's the truth? The construction of the Ark Encounter will be paid for entirely by private funding. Once it opens, visitors will pay sales tax while at the attraction, and the state will rebate a portion of those taxes if attendance milestones are met.
In May, a Kentucky tourism authority unanimously approved the rebate, which brought howls of protest from Ark opponents and rumors of a possible lawsuit.
The state would not be collecting any sales tax if the Ark Encounter moved to another state. Moreover, Kentucky would lose several hundred workers from the Ark Encounter and thousands of other jobs at businesses created by the attraction—jobs which, in turn, will generate more sales tax and payroll tax revenue for the state.
The real outrage is how the media can misreport the truth when they don't like the facts.

Reviews for Favorite Banana Cream Pie(32)
Sort By :
This pie was wonderful. I loved that it didn't have all of those artificial ingredients found in instant pudding and cool whip. It was decadent, but delicious. The custard truly needs overnight to set up completely.
Looks delicious!!
I'm a a mildly experienced baker. Usually my creations a really good or extremely mediocre. Anyhow it is my darling boyfriend's birthday tommorrow and his favorite pie is, u'd guess'd it, Mom's Banana Cream Pie! I was sorta nervous of screwing this up majorly, such as scalded the pudding or that the pudding wouldn't thicken but it is now cooling on my stove and it is Delicious and beauitful. I love vanilla, like A LOT, but my taste tester (Auntie Ruth) said that it has a tiny bit to much vanilla (I used a tsp, so mybe ya'll can try 1/2 tsp). Also, I used cream top whole milk to up to richness factor (of course and why not?, this is banana CREAM PIE not Banana low fat pie, hehe) Anyhow, I can't wait to assemble it and see my sweetheart's face. I'll bet he'll eat the entire pie. This was so easy and I would definetly make again.
Amazing! I'd never made a cream pie before, so I was a little nervous, but it turned out perfect! Made it for Easter, and everyone loved it! Will definitely be keeping this recipe for future use.

To the Editor: Excessive daytime sedation (EDS) is a common and disabling side effect of antipsychotics (AP). We report on a case of a 17-year-old patient with difficult-to-treat symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic tic disorder, and primary derealization syndrome, whose compliance was noted to be poor because of AP-induced EDS. We successfully used modafinil for the treatment of this AP-related EDS, but with initial exacerbation of tics. This report highlights the need for careful dose-titration of modafinil, especially in those with past or family history of tic disorders.
Excessive daytime sedation (EDS) is a common and disabling side effect of antipsychotics (AP), often leading to treatment noncompliance. EDS can be treated with activating agents such as modafinil or stimulants or by stopping the sedating APs. We report on a case with successful use of modafinil for the treatment of AP-induced EDS, but with initial worsening of tics.
A 17-year-old boy presented to the hospital outpatient services with a 3-year history of derealization, pathological doubts, aggressive and superstitious obsessions, re-reading and re-writing compulsions; and excessive blinking, facial grimacing, quick movements of the arms and legs, and grunting sounds. There was a family history of tic disorder in the mother and maternal aunt. He was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic tic disorder, and primary derealization syndrome. He was treated with fluvoxamine 200 mg/day and risperidone 2 mg/day. Compliance was noted to be poor because of sedation. Treatment was changed to fluoxetine 40 mg/day and haloperidol 2 mg/day. With this, there was 90% improvement in his tics and significant improvement in OCD. In view of the patient's continuing complaint of lack of alertness during the day, modafinil 200 mg/day was added. After adding modafinil, a worsening of tics was noted; hence, the dose was decreased to 150 mg/day. In the next follow-up, after 2 months, the patient reported 80% improvement in tics. The score on the Naranjo ADR Probability Scale was 8, which scores as Probable. The total tic score on the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale was 15/50 (before modafinil), 40/50 (on modafinil), and 16/50 (after reducing modafinil dose).
Modafinil has been traditionally used to reduce excessive sleepiness in patients with narcolepsy and shift-work sleep disorder. There is preliminary evidence for its successful use in AP-induced EDS.1,2 In this patient, addition of modafinil at 200 mg/day led to significant improvement in EDS, but was associated with worsening of tics. However, with a titration of its dose down to 150 mg/day, tics were brought under control.
There are reports of stimulant-associated exacerbation of tics,3,4 but causal relationship has been debatable.5 Use of a nonstimulant like modafinil in appropriate dosage can lead to effective amelioration of EDS without marked worsening of tics, as demonstrated in our report.
The precise pathophysiological link behind exacerbation of tics and modafinil's mechanism in promoting wakefulness remains unclear. It is believed that it increases synaptic dopamine following blockade of dopamine transport. This leads to increased tonic firing and downstream effects on neurotransmitters involved in wakefulness, as against phasic dopamine firing seen with classic stimulants like amphetamine and methylphenidate, promoting reinforcement and abuse. Tonic dopamine leads to release of histamine from the tuberomamillary nucleus of the posterior hypothalamus and then further activation of the lateral hypothalamus, with orexin release to stabilize wakefulness. This increase in synaptic dopamine is also believed to be associated with exacerbation of tics. This can be managed by careful titration of modafinil dosage and also the use of Dopamine-2 receptor antagonists.

CANANDAIGUA — Residents gathered in full force Friday to honor 16 outstanding women who lead, serve and give with unflagging commitment to the Canandaigua community.
More than 400 wined and dined at the Finger Lakes Community College Student Center in Hopewell Nov. 15 — the largest number to attend any of the 29 annual ATHENA events, presented again this year by the Canandaigua Area Chamber of Commerce and Professional Women of the Finger Lakes.
Two top awards were presented at the event. Stephanie Kunes-Mincer, president and CEO of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Upstate New York Chapter, received the ATHENA award. And Erica Bapst, Owner of Adorn Jewelry & Accessories, received the ATHENA Young Professional Leadership award.
"It feels amazing," said Kunes-Mincer after her name was announced. "Being a part of that ATHENA family is overwhelming. There are so many women who have just accomplished so much. I was speechless, to be honest with you."
The ATHENA award celebrates professional accomplishments and leadership, community service, and assistance given to help other women to reach their full potential. Kunes-Mincer shared a word of advice for other women in leadership.
"Find your passion," she said. "Do good and you'll be changed. Live your dream — don't live someone else's. And don't give up."
She said most of her inspiration has come from the people she's worked with at the MS Society.
"I do as much as I can to help them and to make life better, to improve quality of life," Kunes-Mincer said. "I don't want to give up — I want to keep advocating for people who are living with MS until we find a cure and I can lock my office door for the last time and go home."
The ATHENA Young Professional Leadership award, given to Erica Bapst, honors an emerging woman leader, 40 years or younger, who demonstrates excellence, creativity and initiative in her business or profession, provides a valuable service that improves the quality of life for others, and clearly serves as a role model for young women both personally and professionally.
"The group of women who were in this group of nominees have done so much — so, so much," said Bapst after the ceremony Friday. "I feel like I've only done a fraction of what everybody's done. I'm just grateful and humble. I'll just make sure I'll do what I can to pass on the encouragement and people can help see their dreams through."
Bapst opened her own jewelry store at the age of 25 in 2004. This year she moved that store — Adorn Jewelry & Accessories — to South Main Street in Canandaigua, increasing her visibility and tripling her retail and studio space.
Her advice to young women chasing their dreams: Believe in yourself, and do what you can to help those along the way.
Page 2 of 2 - "My mother has been my rock throughout everything — the process of starting a business, everything," said Bapst. "She's always there to support me and make sure I'm able to do what I feel that I need to do. Beyond that, there are many, many people in the community who have planted that seed of encouragement within me, that whatever I do — beyond my family, beyond my own personal gain — actually matters in the community."
In addition to the two ATHENA awards, the 2013 ATHENA scholarship was given to Susan Welch, massage therapist and owner of Island Wellness in Geneva.
A media presentation spotlighted all ten of this year's ATHENA Award nominees. A silent auction was also held, and a portion of proceeds from the event went to women's scholarships. The evening was made possible through the support of Randall Farnsworth Auto Group, Ameriprise Financial, EFP Rotenberg, LLP, Five Star Bank, and LaBella Associates, P.C.

FORTUNE -- Intel processors are found in about 80% of the world's computers. But the company lags behind in mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, where chips licensed by rival ARM Holdings (ARMH) rule.
That may soon change, if Intel (INTC) can get a promising new technology onto mobile chips fast enough.
On Wednesday in San Francisco, the company unveiled an innovative production technology that it says will allow it to cram more transistors onto microchips for years to come. The "major technical breakthrough" is a 22nm microprocessor codenamed Ivy Bridge, which will be the first high-volume chip to use 3-D transistors. (For more on the technology behind 3-D transistors, check out Intel's illuminating video below).
"Intel's scientists and engineers have once again reinvented the transistor, this time utilizing the third dimension," Intel CEO Paul Otellini said in a press release. "Amazing, world-shaping devices will be created from this capability as we advance Moore's Law into new realms." More

Nasty service... – This mcdonalds has turned bad.. First of all there hashbrowns are tasteless and burned half of the time.. The fries are the same way.. The burgers are dry. And they burn the egg mcmuffin buns.. I am going to get food some where else.. Because they suck.. And they get an attuite if you ask they to replace something..
Burgers, sandwiches, Happy Meals and all things fried and grilled draw families and fans to the world-famous Golden Arches. – In Short
The intoxicating smell of golden fries cooked to crispy perfection and succulent burgers sizzling on the grill permeates the space, while a lively chatting and munching crowd maintains a laidback vibe at this famous fast food haunt. Hungry patrons of all ages and walks of life order classic favorites like the Big Mac, Chicken McNuggets, and the Filet-O-Fish sandwich. As for breakfast (it is the most important meal of the day, after all), this drive-thru king offers both sweet and savory morning meals like the Egg McMuffin and Hotcakes, as well as flavored iced coffees for a much needed java jolt.

Oil Spill Blame Game Misses the Point
There was plenty of finger pointing at this week's Congressional oil spill hearings.
The chairman of BP America, Lamar McKay, said BP is responsible for cleaning up the spill, but he blamed Transocean for the failure of the safety seal.
Then Transocean CEO Steven Newman said that since BP is the operator, the spill is ultimately the oil giant's fault. And Halliburton executive Tim Probert denied that flaws in his company's cement contributed to the leak.
Meanwhile, oil continues to flow, uninterrupted, into the Gulf of Mexico.
But what the company executives and government officials fail to recognize is that the oil spill is not the fault of one company -- it represents an endemic lack of accountability from the oil industry and government agencies as a whole. The catastrophe isn't the result of one mistake, it's the result of a fundamentally broken system.

Hi Millbarge! Is thie exactly the same as previously slow pc pack? If i have that shoul i install this over that one? Or just leave it.
I really need this mod because since the new update, the graphics have gotten better. Which means my frames have gone down, dramatically! I used to run at 40-60 fps, now I run 20-40 fps!!
Is this going to get an update for 8.0?
I need something like this for 8.0. Its not working for me anymore...
This is not working after 8.0 came out. Foliage remover is not working either since 8.0. I have it installed thru curse client. My FPS has gotten horrible again.
fixed! Thanks man. This seems to even remove the scope shadow in sniper mode and that has proven to be a big help
Well I'm glad for the mod you did. Question: If I'm still seeing exhaust from the tank, that means the pack has not kicked in? It unpacked into a seperate folder in the 7.5 folder in res_mods so I think its in the right place
How can I remove it?
wow that bites, I have seen a lot worse in chat
what do they do if shared ip among say college dorms etc that share the same ip?

Hi folks, I have an OOB 1.1.2, and was waiting forever for a soft unlock, so eventually took the plunge and opted for a ***sim solution.
I have been following this guide...
[1.1.2 OTB] Downgrade/Activate/Jailbreak MADE EASY (For Newbies)
But I think I messed up, I inserted my sim and the nextsim before I started, the process, I followed all the steps up to upgrading back to 1.1.2 and then run the jailbreak but it didn't seem to work, so I restored back to 1.1.1 and tried the process again, this time I realised, it may have been because I inserted my sim before the process so i took my sim out and inserted the original AT&T chip and tried again, but now when I get to this part...
I dial the *#307# it rings me but it takes away the backslash button and doesn't give me the option to clear those numbers from the screen.STEP3 - ACTIVATE AND JAILBREAK
Before you complete this part MAKE SURE that the AT&T Sim card is in your phone
Now, you are on the activation screen that says slide to make an emergency call, slide to get to the keypad and then do the following:
Dial *#307# and hit call
The iPhone will now start to ring itself, once it start to ring you have to erase *#307# by using the backslash button on your iphone and then type 0 and then CALL, the iphone will ring again and this time hit "Answer" then hit "Hold", the Phone will start to ring itself again, this time click "Decline".
If i press answer, it still gives me the option to hold which i have done and I can still get into the contacts menu and insert the prefs url etc which i have done.
I have set the unlock to never and set up the wifi, i have signal bars showing but now when i click on the jailbreak url it just say's safari can't find server...
I tried browsing to google, to see if it was just the site was down, but it can't find google either...
Anyone have any ideas, I have tried restoring and going through the process again, but I keep ending up back here.
Did I mess it up by trying to bypass activation with my own sim in it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

After nearly a decade of planning, design and construction marked by several high-profile lawsuits, a community-led populist uprising and the near collapse of the global financial system, Barclays Center is now officially open for business.
Developer Bruce Ratner took the honors Friday in pulling the switch to illuminate the new court for the Brooklyn Nets at an official ribbon cutting event attended by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, team co-owner Mikhail Prokhorov and at least one Nets starting player, among many others.
"We needed to build for Brooklyn the most architecturally beautiful arena in this country, and we did it," Ratner told the crowd.
The ceremony comes one week before the first of rapper and Nets co-owner Jay-Z's multiple concerts at the arena.
Even with the ticket booths deserted, basketball court cleared and concessions empty, there was a noticeable feeling of excitement in the air as the press, Forest City Ratner employees and city dignitaries milled about a complex rushed to completion in time for its Sept. 28 opening.
Outside the arena, protestors wearing large masks depicting Ratner and Borough President Markowitz weaved in and out of the crowd.
However, inside Barclays Center new atrium, the acrimony among some area residents accompanying the project almost completely disappeared—replaced instead with a sense of relief and optimism regarding the borough's future.
"Barclays will be a center of economic growth for many years to come," Bloomberg said.
