One of the things I will be paying attention to at this year's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, my eighth, is the growing VIP offerings.
I won't be partaking, mind you, as attending in anything other than a good old-fashioned tent seems like cheating somehow. Or it could be because it costs extra to avail oneself of things like upgraded shower and bathroom facilities, catered meals, stage-side seating and air-conditioned RVs.
True fans suffer for their music, right?
Apparently not. Bonnaroo offers a group package called Roll Like a Rock Star that promises you a berth on a fancy tour bus, three gourmet meals each day and exclusive access to parts of the grounds. The cost is $30,000 per group.
At Hangout in Gulf Shores, the VIP experiences lets you hang out in one of 1,600 hot tubs or in the private swimming pool that overlooks the stage.
Riverbend offers VIP opportunities as well. Club Riverbend, on the Chattanooga City Pier, offers exclusive seating, bathrooms and some vending.
That's a far cry from a swimming pool. What the over-the-top VIP offerings do is provide new revenue streams for the festivals, and I get that. But they also change the "attitude" of the event. Part of Bonnaroo's appeal, and the part that partially makes dealing with the heat, humidity, rain and whatever bearable, is the feeling of camaraderie. We are all in this together, so to speak.
Which is what music is supposed to be all about, right?
■ Looking for something different to do with dad on Father's Day? Why not take him to Historic Engel Stadium to watch a little baseball?
What's different about that, right? Well, first of all, there hasn't been any kind of baseball there since the actors in the movie "42" pretended to be playing there, and these games on Sunday will be played under 1864 rules by four teams in the Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball.
Significant among the rules difference are that there is no cussing, no spitting and the ballists, as the players are known, do not wear gloves.
The Oak Hill Travellers will take on the Franklin Farriers at noon, and Highland Rim Distillers will play the Nashville Maroons at 2:30 p.m. Admission to both games is free.

I worked at Old Dominion Freight full-time (less than an year)Pros
Great Pay, Decent Shifts, Line haul drivers get treated well.Cons
Management is very friendly to dockworkers during the hiring process. Once your hired all you get every day is criticism and complaints by management. Lots of favoritism from the head terminal manager and his cronies too low, uneducated, hoodlum dock workers over more professional oriented dockworkers. No positive reinforcement, the dock workers jobs are threatened every day by management. Very cut throat on the dock, even if your only there for a few days and don't pull enough weight you can get canned. Management likes to remind employees how great they pay them (Intimidation Tactics). Top Management likes to visit and act non professional by preaching there political beliefs to dock workers. Street thug, neanderthal, co workers bad mouth you to management if they feel your a threat to their weight counts. Great Place to work if you like getting scolded every day and being treated like a child.Advice to ManagementAdvice
To the head terminal manager, Don't ever resign from this company and take another management position. For the simple reason being that this will be the only place that will ever let your incompetence and lack of professionalism be tolerated.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

The Washington Post won four Pulitzer Prizes on Monday for its work in 2009, and The New York Times won three, while ProPublica became the first of the new breed of online, nonprofit news organizations to win the most prestigious award in print journalism.
The prize for public service went to the tiny Bristol Herald Courier of southwestern Virginia, circulation 29,000, for revealing that many energy companies failed to pay required royalties on natural gas drilling, and that the royalties that were paid were not reaching the local people who deserved them.
Paul Harding won the fiction prize for his novel "Tinkers," while the drama award went to the musical "Next to Normal," with music by Tom Kitt and book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey.
A Navajo Nation librarian was given top honors recently for his contributions to literacy on the 27,000-square-mile reservation.
Irving Nelson, who serves as library program supervisor of the Navajo Nation, was selected from a pool of more than 500 librarians worldwide for the title of Librarian of the Year for 2010.
Reader to Reader, a nonprofit organization based at Amherst College in Amherst, MA honored Nelson for his more than three decades of advocating for literacy on the reservation.
"Irving Nelson is an extraordinary individual," said David Mazor, executive director of Reader to Reader. "His dedication to his library and the citizens that use it is unsurpassed."
Nelson began his career driving a bookmobile on the reservation's rural roads. He also is credited with building an American Indian collection that includes 11,000 books, oral history tapes and land-claim records dating to 1675. Farmington NM Daily News reports.

Westhoughton CC win U11 Pairs
The U11 Pairs Competition took place at Westhoughton CC on Sunday 4th September, with the home club hosting New Brighton CC.
There was an early start (9.45) to allow for a Bolton League game to start at 12.30.
Even though the wicket had been covered, the volume of rain that fell overnight was substantial that both the outfield and wicket were very wet. The Westhoughton groundsman and helpers had worked since 7:00 to get the final on, but it was decided to reduce the final to 16 overs and to only bowl from one end.
Westhoughton batted first and scored 294 for 1 wicket. In this competition teams start at 200 and lose 6 runs for wicket, so the target was 289 for New Brighton. In reply New Brighton lost wickets steadily and then suffered a disaster when Robert Kelly from Westhoughton had a "hat trick". This put real pressure on the last New Brighton pair and further wickets fell in an attempt to reach the target. They finished on 250 (304 for 9).
Well done to both finalists and all other teams involved in this year's competition. Westhoughton CC are congratulated for winning the U11s Pairs Competition for 2011.
The LCB would like to thank all involved in the competition and in particular Brian Woodhead who has pulled together the competition.

Endorsed by financial author Dave Ramsey and highlighted on Oprah Winfrey's Life Lift blog, eMeals charts out a week's worth of dollar- and health-savvy dinner recipes to relieve the burden of kitchen-related stress. Each week, organized grocery lists based on food style, family size, and even grocery store showcase flavorful culinary creations for discerning palates. Plans developed by working parents capitalize on sale items at stores such as Walmart, Publix, and Kroger, and an "any store" list can be used to navigate the aisles of other favored grocers. Family meal plans serve seven meals for three to six people, whereas plans for two are tailored to singles, couples, or a pair of sock puppets on a date atop a chest of drawers.
Special paleo, gluten-free, clean-eating, low-fat, and portion-controlled meal-plan options aid nongeneric eaters in assembling targets for their teeth and fitness regimens. The classic version of the Walmart family plan supplies culinary sustenance to families of three to six for an average weekly cost of $75?$85 and takes advantage of the store's regularly discounted prices. A duo can fill a Publix cart for $50?$60 a week, including side dishes.
Born of founder Jane DeLaney's desire to feed her family stress-free dinners provisioned from an organized list without coupons, eMeals allows shoppers to spend more time at the table and less time wandering about the grocery store uttering monophonic 10th-century chants in dismay.

Christopher John Wallis, Stevenage GB
|Patent application number
|Novel Processes - The present invention provides processes useful for preparing 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) inhibitors and their intermediates. In particular, processes for preparing 3-[3-(tert-butylsulfanyl)-1-[4-(6-ethoxy-pyridin-3-yl)benzyl]-5-(5-methyl-pyridin-2-yl-methoxy)-1H-indol-2-yl]-2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid, the anhydrous Form C polymorph of sodium 3-[3-(tert-butylsulfanyl)-1-[4-(6-ethoxy-pyridin-3-yl)benzyl]-5-(5-methyl-pyridin-2-yl-methoxy)-1H-indol-2-yl]-2,2-dimethyl-propionate, and intermediates useful in said processes are provided.
David John Wallis, Malvern GB
|Patent application number
|OPTICAL INSPECTION - This invention relates to methods of determining physical characteristics of and identifying and locating defects in substrates, such as semiconductor wafers, optical thin films, display screens and the like. The method involve use of PC scanners to image the substrate. In particular PC scanners used in transmission mode imaging allow information about the volume of the substrate to be determined. The method allows determination of characteristics such as layer thickness, curvature and optical constants through use of interferometery techniques and bifrefringence and strain through use of polarised imaging. The methods also relate to stimulating luminescence in the substrate, for example photoluminescence and electroluminescence and scanning the stimulated substrate for luminescence mapping.
|UNIAXIAL TENSILE STRAIN IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - A semiconductor device structure comprises an active layer and a buffer layer. The active layer is a quantum well structure. There is a lattice mismatch between the buffer layer and the active layer which places the active layer under biaxial compressive strain. Uniaxial tensile strain is applied to the active layer to reduce compressive strain on the active layer in a second direction but not in a first direction. This favours hole and electron mobility in the first direction, rendering the semiconductor device structure suitable for the formation of both p-channel and n-channel devices.
|STRAIN CONTROL IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - A semiconductor device comprises the following elements: an active layer comprising a quantum well structure and a buffer layer beneath the active layer adapted to form a confinement layer for charge carriers in the active layer. The buffer layer is adapted so as not to increase an overall strain in the active layer. The active layer is already strained as a result of a lattice mismatch between the active layer and the buffer layer. Strain in the buffer layer may be controlled by use of a strain control buffer layer and by appropriate choices of material and composition for the buffer layer and for a substrate on which the buffer layer is grown.
|P-TYPE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - A semiconductor device comprises an active layer above a first confinement layer. The active layer comprises a layer of α-Sn less than 20 nm thick. The first confinement layer is formed of material with a wider band gap than α-Sn, wherein the band gap offset between α-Sn and this material allows confinement of charge carriers in the active layer so that the active layer acts as a quantum well. A similar second confinement layer may be formed over the active layer. This semiconductor device may be a p-FET. A method of fabricating such a semiconductor device is described.
|METHOD OF FABRICATION OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - The invention relates to a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, the method including: providing a stacked semiconductor structure having a substrate, a buffer layer and one or more device layers; depositing a layer of AlSb on one or more regions of the upper surface of the stacked structure; and oxidising the AlSb layer in the presence of water to form a layer of aluminium oxide on the one or more regions of the upper surface. The semiconductor device is preferably a field effect transistor, and the method preferably includes the additional step of depositing source, drain and/or gate electrodes. In preferred embodiments, the method is controlled so as to avoid exposing the intermediate AlSb structure to the atmosphere and/or the oxidation step is conducted at a temperature between 100° and 300° C.

Base to maintain readiness despite ORI cancellation
Base to maintain readiness despite ORI cancellation

66th Air Base Group Public Affairs
12/15/2011 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- Air Force Materiel Command officials have approved the cancellation of the full-scale Operational Readiness Inspection at Hanscom, which had been scheduled for spring 2012.
Lt. Col. Scott Pierce, 66th Air Base Group Inspector General, was quick to explain that this does not mean that our readiness preparations and training can stop.
"On the contrary," he said. "Our readiness is vitally important to the way we conduct our day-to-day operations and we must maintain our readiness levels regardless of any changes in the inspection format."
Pierce explained that Hanscom's readiness will be tested through a more focused Targeted Readiness Inspection (TRI) to be conducted as part of the next scheduled Unit Compliance Inspection (UCI).
"We do not know exactly when the next UCI/TRI will come," Pierce said. "But we don't need to know, because we will make sure we are ready."
Based on the governing Air Force Instruction, the next UCI must be held within 60 months of the previous one, which for Hanscom would mean no later than November 2013. However, AFMC is only required to notify a base 45 days prior to arrival and could visit Hanscom anytime between now and November 2013, according to Pierce.
"The way we prepare is by maintaining a robust Self Inspection Program and an active exercise program," he said.
He notes that AFMC Commander Gen. Donald Hoffman emphasized this point when concurring with the decision to postpone the spring ORI.
"General Hoffman wrote that, in addition to the targeted evaluations, he expects local commanders to continue their exercises and self inspections," Pierce said.
The move comes in response to budget cuts and follows an AFMC "Inspection Risk Prioritization Briefing." In developing that, AFMC conducted a "base-by-base comparison of the maximum simultaneous authorizations available for rotational deployment taskings."
The analysis showed that Hanscom and some other AFMC bases had "relative minimum deployment-to-theater requirements." That determination led to a conclusion of "low risk" in not conducting the scheduled ORI this spring.
"What AFMC has acknowledged by going to targeted readiness inspections is that one size doesn't fit all," said ESC Chief of Staff Col. Tim Nickerson. "We have a unique mission of providing the warfighter with the tools necessary to execute the mission. We do not deploy as a unit but do so individually in support of AEF deployments. TRIs will focus more on our process for getting those folks down range and acquiring vital systems for the warfighter.
"We're ready to send our warriors to the battlefield, but Hanscom's primary mission is to provide electronic systems and capabilities to our warfighters on the front lines, and we don't diminish the value and contributions of our units or our people by stating that we can do that best from Hanscom Air Force Base," he added.
The new TRI format has not been finalized yet, but will likely include a deployment processing scenario, which also takes into account all of the pre-deployment preparation such as medical readiness and proper assembly of deployment bags. Readiness inspectors will also look at the ability of deployers to survive and operate in a deployed environment.
Beyond deployment-related responsibilities, a TRI will also test, through various exercise scenarios, the ability of base personnel to respond to emergencies, including active shooters, hazardous materials spills, aircraft crashes and even natural disasters. The inspection will examine - primarily by reviewing actual, ongoing efforts - acquisition managers' ability to provide quick reaction capabilities to warfighters and will also test the skills and abilities of functional experts to conduct deployment-specific duties.
At Hanscom, cancellation of the spring ORI doesn't mean that preparedness in any of those areas should drop off, Pierce said.
"Team Hanscom has devoted a great deal of time and energy over the past 10 months preparing for a readiness inspection that now more closely matches Hanscom's real wartime missions," he said. "But I'm confident we will maintain our readiness and the excellence of what we do as we continue a strong, yet focused base exercise program and through an active and robust Self Inspection Program in each and every unit."

Wayne Brady on being perceived as not Black enough:
"No one can be harder on Black people than Black people. And I understand that, we like to claim what's ours — we are a very loyal audience. What irks me is when the person who says, 'Oh, Wayne Brady isn't Black enough for this role,' is the 26-year-old white screenwriter."

Raj Rajaratnam May Have Compensated A Few Prisoners To Keep Himself In The Lifestyle He'd Grown Accustomed ToBy Bess Levin
Last August, a report came out claiming that Raj Rajaratnam was having the time of his life in prison. As someone who went to great lengths to avoid going to jail (not so much by staying on the right side of securities laws but by paying a high-priced lawyer to accuse people churning out supposedly slanted coverage of his client of "sucking [U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York] Preet Barhara's teat"), this revelation came as a surprise. As a hedge fund billionaire who'd grown used to a luxurious lot in which he paid many people to keep him comfortable and content, there was an expectation that life on the inside would come as a rude awakening. And, yet, the report claimed that Raj was "reigning like a king," "doing his time in the lap of luxury compared to other inmates," with a set-up that included:
- A private toilet
- A shared balcony
- An adjustable bed
- "A very delightful guy doing all sorts of stuff for him– sort of like a 'manservant'"
- An inmate who cooks for him using a microwave when he "doesn't want to hoof it to the dining hall"
Unfortunately for anyone anticipating doing time on the inside, all of these perks apparently come at a cost, according to a guy who claims Raj had to pay a number people off to arrange the manservant and en-suite, among other things. Read more »
Disguising Insider Trading With Phrases Like "Fat Man Has A Friend" And "The Fat Man Walks Alone" Not As Airtight A Plan As Once ThoughtBy Bess Levin
Remember the group of old high school buddies, who put Colonia High Class of '88 on the map when they were criminally and civilly prosecuted for an "insider trading scheme focused on pharmaceutical and medical technology stocks"? They've all received punishments that range from fines to prison time and that's in spite of the fact that:
- The phrase "I have some vacation pictures for you" was a cover for payments made to tippers
- Deals were referred to in code as the "Fat Man," while updates on the statuses of deals were communicated with lines like "fat man has a friend" and "fat man walks alone"
- One of the men assured everyone that even if the Securities and Exchange Commission did catch on, they wouldn't have the resources to do anything about it. (To wit: "The SEC's got to pick their battle because they have a limited number of people and huge numbers of investors to go after."

My house is 4 years old and we purchased it from a modular home company called Customized Structures in NH.
We have had leaking in the two windows that are in our dormers. It looks like it enters where the jamb meets the sill. I have had a MW Rep out and he said it wasn't the window but installation. I then had a contractor remove the window and place ice and water barrier all around the opening and even installed a new system that has a plastic pan that is placed on the sill before you install the window. The window still leaks and the water now sits on the plastic pan rather than the sill of the opening. I had MW out again and again they say installation.I'am very frustrated not sure where to go from here.Fortunately my upstairs is unfinished so I don't have any damage yet. Is anyone having the same issue or advice on how I should handle this?
thanks Craig

Our builder recommended M&Wwindows when we built our house in 1995. We began having problems with our window sills on the outside a couple of years ago. Now they look like they are coming apart. There has never been a good seal on three bay windows. Has anyone else had this problem?

Since water does collect at the pan/Sill it seems that it is draining as designed. The window should have weepholes, either visible or within the system. I have seen a lot of installations were mass of caulking was used around the windows covering up the openings(weepholes) and not allowing the water to escape.The key in windows installation is not ( like so many believe)how to prevent water from entering the opening(because sooner or later it will)but how to drain it once its in. detailed pictures would help and you can send them to my website www.probuildersmall.com if you wish, I maybe able to assist with my advise

Peter Gillgren, M.D., from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, and colleagues compared survival with surgical resection margin of 2 cm versus 4 cm in a controlled trial of 936 patients with clinical stage IIA to C cutaneous melanoma thicker than 2 mm. Randomization was done by sealed envelope or by computer generated lists with permuted blocks, and 465 and 471 participants were allocated to treatment with a 2-cm or a 4-cm resection margin, respectively. One patient died in each group during follow-up but were included in the analysis. Overall survival was the primary end point. No systematic recording was done for adverse events.
The investigators found that, after a median follow-up of 6.7 years, 181 and 177 patients died in the 2-cm and 4-cm margin groups, respectively (hazard ratio, 1.05; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.85 to 1.29). The five-year overall survival was the same in both groups at 65 percent.
"Our findings suggest that a 2-cm resection margin is sufficient and safe for patients with cutaneous melanoma thicker than 2 mm," the authors write.

Rock Genius
[Produced by Daft Punk]
Work it, Make it
Do it, Makes us
Harder, Better
Faster, Stronger
More than, Hour
Hour, Never
Ever, After
Work is, Over
Work it harder, make it better
Do it faster, makes us stronger
More than ever, hour after hour
Work is never over!
A very cool single indeed this, only tainted slightly by the fact that by being involved with Gap, essentially the McDonalds of clothes, Daft Punk have revealed their true colours not as shiny robot creatures, but as big dull squares. Still, this is very good indeed, a muscular and shiny take on the 1980s influences currently coming to prominence in the hands of slightly less affluent souls like The Faint and Cut Copy, and for which Bangalter and de Hommem-Christo were the first.
Guitar solos. Funny manipulated voices, all in all this is effectively a national anthem for a futuristic, agreeably funky state.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
Good annotation, with nice reference to the Edwin Birdsong sample.
The song is sampled twice: at 2:55 and at 0:00.
However, the song used in the GAP commercial was actually Digital Love

Low price. Small size. Attractive design. Plug fits well into Australian power point. Tends to get warm. Uncertain reliability. Bought two of these to charge mobile phones.

You can use it in too many situations. For example, I needed it to replace a broken cell phone charger and worked like a charm. Virtually any device that charges with USB can use it. It is small, so you can port it without any problem. And fortunately the price is small too. I do not have any complain.... Read more
Compact, discreet and it works. Charges phones (iPhone, Lumia 920, Desire HD) just fine, runs small usb appliances.

Really Low price for the product! Its great and it works perfectly with my iphone 4s and iPod 5gen. It even has all the original writing on the back.

This is a great unit. It is small in size, low cost and simple to operate. Just plug in a USB cable and it will supply power to anything you need to charge.

Small, Cheap Do not use!!. This product is inherently unsafe. The Live prong on the plug sits directly in front of and very close to a connection to the usb connector.

Art Department Visiting Artists Fall 2014
Thursday, September 11, 2:30-5:30, Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento: Legal Workshop for Artists and Designers (132 Marano Center)

Thursday, September 11, 6-7pm, Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento: Artist Talk (105 Lanigan)
Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento is a practicing artist with an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts and a practicing lawyer with a JD from Cornell Law School. He will present a version of his program "Law School for Artists". His creative work is equally interesting and is located at the intersection of art and law.

Wednesday October 8, 4-5 pm Joyce Silverstone, Lecture, (1A Hewitt)
Joyce Silverstone is an artist printmaker based in Massachusetts. She is a graduate and a traveling fellow of The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Joyce is affiliated with Zea Mays Printmaking, artistic community/studio facility dedicated to teaching and practicing the use of environmentally safe materials, where she is a member of the core faculty.
When I was introduced to printmaking, I felt drawn to monotype's visual language. I enjoyed the surprises that come from the unwilled and accidental that is part of the process of making monotypes. At the same time, I discovered traditional printmaking methods of describing space, using fades, transparency, texture, and linear marks to build, remove, and imply space in a print.
-Joyce Silverstone
Wednesday, October 15th at 6 pm Edward V. Kelley Lecture, (103 Lanigan)
Edward Kelley currently works in the sculpture department at Drake University in Des Moines, IA. Prior to joining the Drake community, Edward worked in the fine arts industry as a mold and pattern maker as well as owning and operating a fine arts services company. Edward continues his interest in mold making by organizing and leading a yearly cast metal workshop in the sculpture department. Edward's artwork creates objects that seem to exist somewhere between a narrative and a physical space as a way to subtly tease our serious nature.
Thursday, October 16th, Edward V. Kelley Iron Pour, 6-9 pm, (Off Iroquois Trail between Oneida Hall and The Village)
Witness the spectacle of the ancient technique of pouring glowing, molten iron into molds as Edward Kelley works with Oswego students to create cast iron sculpture.
Thurs. Nov. 13th, 4-5pm, Nate Larson Lecture, (106 Lanigan)
Nate Larson is one half of a collaborative artistic duo with Marni Shindelman. Using location coordinates of posts made by users of Twitter, Larson and Shindelman go to the places where each "tweet" originated and make a photograph of what they find there.
We use publicly available embedded GPS information in Twitter updates to track the locations of user posts and make photographs to mark the location in the real world. Each of these photographs is taken on the site of the update and paired with the originating text. Our act of making a photograph anchors and memorializes the ephemeral online data in the real world and also probes the expectations of privacy surrounding social networks.

Early College Designs enable more students, particularly low-income and minority students, to experience rigorous high school and college coursework that leads to improved outcomes. Early college students are outperforming their peers nationwide:
- 90% graduate high school vs. 78% of students nationally
- 94% earn free college credit while in high school
- 30% earn an Associate's degree or other postsecondary credential while in high school
Every young person needs a postsecondary credential to thrive in today's world. Yet, as a nation, we fail to provide too many young people with the education they need to succeed. Millions of young people graduate from high school unprepared for college and careers in today's global economy.
- 22% of high school students are not graduating from high school.
- One-third of students who enter postsecondary education require remedial education before they can earn college credit.
- Less than half of all college students graduate within six years.
These problems are particularly acute for low-income youth, first-generation college goers, English language learners, students of color, and other underserved populations.
Since 2002, Jobs for the Future and our partners have helped start or redesign nearly 250 early college schools that currently serve more than 75,000 students nationwide.
Early college high schools replace remediation with acceleration, engaging instruction, and individualized supports to prepare all students—particularly those traditionally underserved—for college and careers.
Early College Designs are based on the bold idea that academic rigor, combined with the opportunity to save time and money toward a postsecondary credential, are powerful motivators for students to work hard and meet intellectual challenges.
- Full-service early college high schools
- Early college STEM schools
- Early college pathways in comprehensive high schools
- Pathways to Prosperity models that integrate career pathways with an Associate's degree
- Back on Track models that reengage off-track and out-of-school youth
For information on how to implement Early College Designs in your school, see Early College Design Services.
Student Outcomes
- 80,000+ students served each year at 280 early college schools.
- 90% of early college students graduate, compared with 78% nationally.
- 94% of graduates earn some college credit while in high school.
- 71% of early college graduates immediately enroll in college, compared with 68% nationally, and 54% of low-income students nationally.
- 30% of early college graduates earn an Associate's degree or postsecondary certificate along with their high school diploma.
- Early college graduates earn an average 38 college credits for free.
- 73% of early college students are of color.
- 61% are from low-income families.
- 56% will be the first in their immediate families to attend college.
Recent Accomplishments
- 50,000 more students will benefit from Early College Designs expansion to Denver and South Texas, thanks to a $15 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Investing in Innovation (i3) program.

Selena Gomez Covers Elle, Gushes Over Justin Bieberby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Sorry, ladies. But it sounds like Justin Bieber really is that dreamy.
In the latest issue of Elle, Selena Gomez is hesitant to open up too much about her relationship, but she does share one story with the magazine about just how lucky she is to be dating the Biebs.
"He really is a hopeless romantic," Gomez says. "I had just mentioned it in the car – all I said is that I really want to see Titanic again, and then..."
... this happened.
Among other topics discussed by Selena in the interview:
Growing up in poverty: "I can remember about seven times when our car got stuck on the highway because we'd run out of gas money... [but my mom still] saved up to take me to concerts. She took me to museums, aquariums, to teach me about the world, about what's real."
Working with Disney: "[It] is a machine, so people automatically assume that you can't work for the channel unless you act and sing and dance and sign up for all that. That's absolutely not true. I always did everything the way I wanted to do it."
Choosing roles: "I get offered the teenybopper movies, and I've done that. I haven't done a mega-hundred-billion-dollar Transformers movie, but that's not what I want to do either."
Gomez also poses rather provocatively for the magazine. Check out this Selena Gomez cleavage shot now!
she has a cool life
she's fat
am in love with selena gomez she is awesome i adore here i wish i can see here on person like really see here not on TV i mean i want to see here in real i love you selena boo
Justin is so lucky that he dating SELENA
and SELENA is so lucky that she is in love with amazing biebs
unromantic bieb + romantic selly =perfect for each other
Selena coud do better.
God! Guys she is happy with the beiber. It would be a bad decision to date a fan because well, they are fans! Ok? And she is still herself! Isn't that great?
Selena is such a DARLING, very hot too and sexy without even trying too hard!!! I reeeally like how she has grown up
I am definitely a Selena Gomez fan. She is a class act. I hope she stays grounded and stays a good person. Justin is blessed to have found a good girl in Hollywood.
i really love salena gomez she has to try to date a fan . i m sure that she will be more happy with me compare to justin
im glad she is happy however, i wish she would date fan someone like me, this fan is interested and loves her very much

Take 2
A different spin on sports by The Seattle Times staff and readers.
Comparing Russell Wilson and rookie QB class to famed 1983 trio
When you think of superb rookie classes of NFL quarterbacks, you think of 1983 and Hall of Famers John Elway, Dan Marino and Jim Kelly.
But could this year's crop of rookie QBs, including top trio Russell Wilson of the Seahawks, Robert Griffin III of Washington and Andrew Luck of Indianapolis, be better? Their statistics certainly look good.
Wilson, RG3 and Luck have already combined to lead their teams on 10 game-winning drives in 2012, according to pro-football-reference.com.
Back in '83, Elway and Marino combined for three.
(Kelly didn't play his NFL rookie season until 1986, despite being taken 14th overall in the 1983 draft by Buffalo, because he played in the USFL instead for two years.)
The 2012 trio is 21-15 as starters.
The 1983 trio was a combined 15-20 in their rookie seasons.
Marino led the Dolphins to the postseason and a memorable 27-20 loss to the Seahawks in a 1983 AFC divisional playoff matchup at the Orange Bowl. He threw two touchdown passes and two interceptions (Dave Krieg kept pace with him).
Elway's rookie season was one to mostly forget – only 2.7 percent of his passes went for touchdowns. The Seahawks' Wilson is stellar in comparison, with 6 percent of his passes going for touchdowns.
The 2012 trio is also way more mobile, combining so far for 1,228 yards rushing. The 1983 trio totaled only 389 yards rushing in their rookie seasons.
Time will tell if this year's rookie quarterback crop can measure up to the 1983 trio, but it makes for a great debate.
One thing the '80s group has is height: All are at least 6 feet 3 and Marino is 6-4. Luck is 6-4, but RG3 is 6-2 and Wilson is, well, 5-11, right?

Bergdoll takes MoMA architecture role
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York has unveiled Barry Bergdoll as the head of its department of Architecture and Design.Bergdoll takes up the much-coveted position more than seven months after Terry Riley stepped down from the high-profile role in November last year ( Race is on for MoMA architecture role). Currently the chair of the Department of Art History at Columbia University, Bergdoll will officially take on full responsibility as MOMA's new Philip Johnson chief curator in January next year. MOMA bosses have described Bergdoll as 'one of the world's most distinguished architectural scholars'. He has written a raft of books, including Mies in Berlin, which scooped the Philip Johnson Award of the Society of Architectural Historians in 2002 and the 1994 tome Karl Friedrich Schinkel: An Architecture for Prussia. 'I am delighted to join the talented staff at MoMA, where I have been fortunate to be associated in both a curatorial and advisory capacity in the past,' said Bergdoll. 'I also welcome the opportunity to work with the Museum's outstanding collection and develop exhibitions that extend this department's distinguished and innovative record in the field.' by Richard Waite
