College Application Season is Almost Over, So Hang In There
Here are some of the latest, most interesting headlines about the college admissions process from media outlets across the country. Hope everyone who is in the throes of the college application process is in good spirits!
You have your SAT and ACT scores, have asked for letters of recommendation from adults who know you best, and have finished off the common app. So what's left? That piece of the application that you may have been putting off: the essay. Look at the essay as an opportunity, not an obstacle. Be passionate, be genuine, and wow them! Here are some ways to do so.
More and more students are applying to more and more colleges. Is this messing up the college admissions process? Some really fascinating stats. For instance, did you know that college applications have increased 70% (!) from 2004 to 2013, but there has only been a 5% increase in high school graduates during that time period?
For many college admissions officers, "weird" is beautiful…and your ticket to acceptance. What advice do they have for applicants? "Be your best self, whatever that means… "You don't have to go in saying 'Oh, the colleges want straight-haired people so I have to straighten my hair.' Be your best curly-haired self."
Looking to escape the skyrocketing cost to attend college in the United States? If you're willing to study abroad, there are plenty of opportunities. Ever want to live in Rio or Berlin?
One college in Indiana says testing for prospective students' personality quirks could be "the path of the future" when it comes to admissions. Why? They believe it may be a predictor of academic success.
Thousands of Chinese and South Korean students who plan to apply to colleges and universities in the United States are in a heap of trouble amid claims of widespread cheating during the recent SAT administration. Their scores have been delayed pending an investigation, despite looming deadlines for college applications.
And speaking of SAT-takers in Asia, we may finally know how many students in the world's largest continent actually sit for the SAT. This information has long not been shared with the general public.

SAT vs ACT – which test should you take?
Should you take the SAT? The ACT? Both? Colleges accept either SAT or ACT scores so you may be thinking "Which test should I take?" We've broken down the main differences for you so you can decide which test is best for you.
- Test Length and Timing- The SAT is a bit longer than the ACT – 20 minutes longer to be exact when you take the ACT with the optional essay. While there is not a big difference in timing when you look at the total time for each test, there is a real difference when you look at the sections. The SAT has 10 sections ranging from 10-minute sections to 25 minute sections. The ACT, however, has 4 sections plus an optional essay section ranging from the 30 minutes to 60 minutes. In addition, the ACT has more questions for students to answer, allowing for less time per question. Some students find the longer sections on the ACT challenging, while others find that 10 sections on the SAT is difficult to manage.
- Science – There is a Science section on the ACT. You may be thinking, "Wait! I need to know Bio, Chem, and Physics?" Not exactly. While the ACT does include questions in areas such as Bio, Chem, and Physics, you by no means need to be a science whiz to answer the questions in the Science section. The ACT Science section tests logical reasoning and critical thinking skills. Think of it as a science based Critical Reading section.
- Trig – Yep! There is trigonometry on the ACT Math section. There are only a few questions that test trigonometry, but you'll find them only on the ACT – no trig on the SAT.
- Wrong Answer Penalty – There is a wrong answer penalty on the SAT but NOT on the ACT. So, if you guess on the multiple choice questions on the SAT and you guess wrong , you lose a ¼ of a point. What happens if you guess on the ACT and you get it wrong? Nothing. You don't lose any points and you don't gain any points. This does not make the SAT more difficult, but for some students, the thought of possibly losing points when guessing can be stressful.
- Scoring – This is a major difference between the SAT and ACT. The two tests are scored on entirely different scales. The SAT is scored from 600-2400 while the ACT is scored from 1-36. Let's break it down by test.
- The SAT provides students with 3 section scores. A student receives a section score from 200-800 for Math, Critical Reading, and Writing. The essay score on the SAT is from 0-12 and is factored into the overall Writing Section Score. The 3 sections scores are then added together to give the student a composite score. Let's say you scored a 500 in Math, a 600 in Critical Reading, and a 550 in Writing. Your total composite score would be a 1650.
- The ACT, on the other hand, gives students 4 sections scores ranging from 1-36. The essay score on the ACT ranges from 0-12 but is NOT factored into any section score. The 4 section scores are then averaged to give a student a composite score. So, if you scores a 28 on English, a 30 in Math, a 28 in Reading, and a 26 in Science, your composite score would be the average of those 4 section scores – a 28.
You may now be asking yourself, what is a good score on the SAT? on the ACT? Well, that depends on what schools you are thinking about attending and the scores you need to gain acceptance into those schools.

The Top Tips to Nailing Your College Interview
The college interview is often the forgotten piece of the college admissions process. Most colleges do offer a college interview so it's in your best interest to secure an interview as soon as you can. Even though it's not the most important determining factor in getting accepted, the interview can help admissions officers get to know you better so that you're not just another name in a pile of applications. It can help you stand out! Here are the top tips to helping you nail your college interview!
- Do your research. Review the college website and brochures before the interview. Learn as much as you can about the school and the program you're interested in so that you appear knowledgeable about the school and interested in learning more.
- Be prepared for common questions! Admissions officers might try and throw you a curve-ball to see how you'll react in the interview. Be prepared! Here are some questions they can ask. Prepare and rehearse your answers to these questions before your interview:
- Why do you want to go to this college?
- What do you want to major in and why?
- How would your friends characterize you?
- What do you do in your spare time?
- Who is the most influential person in your life and why?
- Have your own questions ready. Some students say that the hardest question you'll get from an interviewer is "Do YOU have any questions?" Don't be caught off guard. Questions about activities, off-campus programs, housing – or whatever is important to you – are encouraged as it shows your interest in the school.
- Bring along a notepad. Write down your interview questions on a notepad. Also use the notepad to take notes during the interview.
- Dress to impress and arrive early. You want the make a good impression with your interviewer. Dress appropriately and make sure to arrive at least 15 minutes early. Arriving early will give you some time to relax and prepare yourself mentally.
- Send a thank-you note. After your interview, send a thank you note to your interviewer. Express your continued interest in the school. The more interest you show in them, the more interest they may show in you.
College Admissions in the Headlines: The "Rankings Are Here!" Edition
Here are some of the latest, most interesting headlines about the college admissions process from media outlets across the country. And we hope everyone has had a great back to school. Miss summer yet?
Last month, U.S. News & World Report released its highly anticipated and highly buzzed about 2015 college rankings. Our advice about the rankings remains this: They can be helpful as an aggregate source of data around different factors such as student population, academic life and other considerations. The statistics behind the rankings can offer useful insights. For example, a school's freshmen retention rate can be a strong indicator of whether current students are happy at that school and a school's financial aid profile can indicate its likelihood of offering need- or merit-based aid. All that said, a college's actual rank is probably more important to administrators and alumni than it is to the average college applicant. Dig deeper. Find the best bit. (U.S. News & World Report)
One important statistic that is not included in U.S. News' rankings is an issue that is top of mind to many students and parents: campus safety. But Kaplan's Test Prep's 2014 survey of college admissions officers finds that schools think campus safety stats SHOULD be a part of the rankings. (The Daily Pennsylvanian)
Also from Kaplan Test Prep's 2014 survey of college admissions officers: Colleges views most of the changes coming to the SAT in 2016 in a positive light: from students having the option to take the exam on a computer, to the writing section being optional instead of mandatory, to students not being allowed to use a calculator on certain math problems. But how do students feel about the changes? They are decidedly less excited about some of the changes. (Education Week)
At the annual conference of the National Association for College Admission Counseling held in Indianapolis last month, college admissions officers from around the country ( along with many guidance counselors) gathered to discuss major issues on the admissions landscape. Among them: "Will students choose them? Will students even find them?" They are using technology to woo prospective applicants. They want the best. (The Washington Post)
Smile! You may be on video…for an application essay, that is. Meet the non-traditional application that just a few colleges are adopting. The wave of the future or just a ephemeral ripple? (The New York Times)

The College Recommendation Letter: Who to Ask, When to Ask, and How to Ask
As part of your college application, admissions committees often ask for two or three letters of recommendation written on your behalf. There's no need to be anxious about requesting a recommendation, so long as you follow these few simple guidelines!
Who to Ask for a Letter of Recommendation
Guidance counselors and high-school teachers typically write letters of recommendation, although additional letters can come from coaches and/or employers. In any case, these letters should be from people who know you well, both in and out of the classroom. Collectively, they will inform the admissions committee of your abilities, character, passions and personality.
When deciding whom to ask for a recommendation letter, consider the following questions:
– Is this a teacher with whom I've formed a connection with?
– Has this teacher witnessed my growth or development in any way?
– When was the last time I spoke with this teacher?
– What subjects did I take with this teacher?
Your 12th grade teachers have likely not yet had enough time to get to know you, unless you took a class with them previously, and you have presumably matured since you were a wide-eyed freshman in 9th grade (at the very least you want to appear as though you have!). The strongest letters of recommendation don't always come from the teacher with whom you earned the best grade, but instead the teacher who watched your academic skills develop. A letter that says, "Devon struggled early in my history class, but she re-doubled her efforts after the first exam, stayed after for help and steadily improved throughout the semester as a result of her hard work and determination" is a lot more compelling that a letter that says "Abigail earned an A+ in my AP Calculus class and she seemed nice based on my limited interactions with her."
If you are only allowed one teacher recommendation, it's best ask one who taught you a core academic subject. Check the requirements of your colleges; some require two recommendations – one from a math/science teacher and another from a humanities teacher.
When to Ask for a Recommendation Letter
Ask early. As you probably know from your own essays and written assignments, you never do your best when rushing at the last minute. Give your teacher or guidance counselor time to write you a glowing review. At a minimum, you should make an in-person request a month before the deadline, but you can ask as early as the end of junior year, since it is those teachers who will likely be writing your letters.
How to Guarantee a Great Letter of Recommendation
Arrange a time in advance to speak with your letter writers after class, or after school. This ensures you'll have your teacher's full attention, and also makes a good impression by demonstrating that you respect your teacher's time.
While the Common Application will automatically email your recommenders once you add them to your online application, this should not be seen as a substitute for in-person request, nor should you add a recommender to your Common Application before asking. Many surprises in life are good, but learning via your inbox that you've been tasked with writing a recommendation letter for a student who didn't even ask you isn't one of them.
Request, but don't expect. You will benefit by having your recommendation written by someone who sincerely desires to write a strong letter on your behalf. If your request is denied, be grateful that this individual understands the impact these letters have on your future and respects you enough to be honest about their willingness up-front.
Be prepared with a list of colleges to which you are applying as well as their application deadlines. A resume, short summary of your high-school accomplishments, and statement regarding your collegiate plans should also be provided to your letter writers.
Afterward, be sure to show your gratitude by writing your recommenders a formal thank you note and don't forget to keep them updated as application decisions start rolling in! They'll be thrilled to know they helped you achieve your college dream.
The Top Reasons to Prep for the PSAT
Sophomores and Juniors – it's PSAT time! The PSAT is a few weeks away – and you are likely thinking, "It's the PSAT – practice for the SAT, the real test." This is true. It is a practice run for the SAT, but this is likely one of your fist times taking a standardized test and prepping for it can really pay off. Why should you prep for a practice run? We're breaking down the top reasons for you right here!
1. It's like prepping for the SAT! The skills and topics tested on the PSAT are also tested on the SAT. By preparing for the PSAT, you are already on your way to preparing for the SAT.
2. You'll know what to expect. Do you want to walk into the PSAT not knowing what is tested or just how long it really is? By prepping for the PSAT, you will be familiar with the format and question types you will see on test day. Would you want to walk into a test and not know what was on it?
3. It can help with test day nerves. By preparing you'll gain confidence. You will walk into test day feeling prepared and ready to do well. It's like any other test – you want to do your best and preparing will help you to do that! If you have never taken a practice PSAT (or SAT or ACT) you may feel nervous about not really knowing what is on the test. Knowing what to expect can help with test anxiety and can lead to a better score!
4. There is scholarship money you can earn for college! That's right! Just by doing well on the PSAT in your junior year, you can earn a college scholarship. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation as well as many colleges and universities award scholarships to students who score well on the PSAT.
So, where should you go to prep? The good news is Kaplan is offering PSAT Cram sessions for FREE to help students prepare for the Math and Critical Reading sections of the PSAT. We're committed to helping students feel prepared so they can walk into the PSAT ready. To sign up for PSAT Cram sessions click here!
Your Monthly SAT/ACT Math Strategy!
Welcome to our monthly blog series on SAT and ACT math topics! Each month, we will target a different math topic that you will see on the SAT and ACT. Practice makes perfect – so if you practice these math skills, you'll be well on your way to earning a new high score! This month, we will focus on sets.
What is a set you may ask? A set is any given list of elements. That's it! It could be a list of the single-digit prime numbers – 2, 3, 5, 7 – or even a grocery list! Don't be confused by the use of brackets around a list of items; they just show you where the list begins and where it ends. For example, Set A consists of the numbers one through five inclusive and the vowels in the alphabet: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, A, E, I, O, U]. Nothing scary there!
What could the SAT or ACT ask you to do with sets? Well, it will either be one of two things: find the union of the sets, or find the intersection of the sets.
The Union of sets is anything that appears in Set A OR Set B. It's what you get when you take both sets and combine them into one. So for example:
Set A: [Apples, Bananas, Tomatoes, Kiwis]
Set B: [Carrots, Broccoli, Apples, Oranges]
Union: [Apples, Bananas, Tomatoes, Kiwis, Carrots, Broccoli, Oranges]
**Since apples appear in both sets, it only needs to be counted once in the Union.
The Intersection of sets consists only of the things that appear in BOTH sets. So in the example above, only one item appears in both sets: apples. Apples is the intersections of those two sets. Let's do another one, just to make sure we get it.
Set A: [Cow, Duck, Pig, Dog, Cat]
Set B: [Fish, Hamster, Dog, Turtle, Cat]
What is the intersection here?
Dog and Cat appear in both sets, so those are the items in the intersection!
[Dog, Cat] would be the answer!
Generally, the SAT and the ACT will stick to letters and numbers when making up sets, but the process is the same as above. You can now walk into test day with confidence, knowing that you've mastered Sets!
Your Monthly SAT/ACT Vocabulary Strategy!
Going through vocabulary flashcards not your favorite weekend activity? Of course it's not! But if you are a high school student, it is important to build your vocabulary. Why you may ask? Well, the SAT and ACT test your knowledge of vocabulary through Critical Reading passages and questions that focus on grammar. While often overlooked by many students, studying vocabulary is one of the best ways to improve your verbal scores on the SAT and ACT. This monthly blog will help you build a stronger vocabulary and help you rock the verbal sections on the SAT and ACT.
Let's face it: summer has come and gone, which means I no longer have an excuse to pretend I'm Kobayashi and eat 50 hot dogs in a single sitting. It also means that I'll have to put "School's Out for Summer" by Alice Cooper on the backburner for another nine months or so. But that doesn't mean that Back to School and the coming of autumn is any less exciting than summer! While most high school students dread this time of year, there are many things to look forward to! September means that autumn is just around the corner. Autumn is when nature reveals its full beauty before going to sleep for the winter. The leaves change color, and the air starts getting crisper. There are hundreds of words that describe this time of year, but many focus on one aspect of it: beauty.
With hundreds of words that mean beauty, how can students possibly learn them all in time for the SAT and ACT? By grouping words together by meaning, you can create connections between words, allowing you to recall many words rather than one. Because of this, words here will be grouped by meaning rather than by how they happen to be spelled.
This month's group of words focuses on the beauty of autumn:
So get out there and start using these words to describe the beautiful change of seasons! Remember that the more you use a word the more likely you are to remember it!
The Top 5 Tips for Fighting Off Senioritis
Seniors – this is it! Your final year of high school! Many of you are working on college applications, writing essays, collecting your letters of recommendation, and possibly studying for the SAT or ACT one last time. All this on top of school work and maintaining some semblance of a social life! It is easy to understand how "Senioritis" – that infectious little bug that runs rampant around January or February of Senior Year – is so contagious. Don't worry – we are here to give you the top 5 tips for fighting off Senioritis.
- Remember – grades still matter! It is very tempting to let the Senioritis bug catch you when you hit submit on that last college application. But, remember those colleges you have applied to and your dreams of receiving that acceptance letter! Colleges may ask to see second semester grades and you do not want to show them a nose-dive second semester. Stay focused on your goal of getting into the college of your dreams.
- Nix that bad habit before it becomes your routine. One of the top symptoms of Senioritis is lethargy. You have worked so hard, maybe the hardest you have in your high school career – balancing school, applications, and standardized tests is a lot. It's natural to tell yourself "I deserve a break!" and of course, you do, but don't let this become a habit. Take some time to relax after you have submitted applications and taken your last SAT or ACT, but don't take too long of a break. Stay involved in school and your activities and keep your grades up. If you don't, it will be easy to lose focus.
- Remember, this is your last year of high school – you will want to enjoy it! One year from now you will be in college. Repeat – one year from now you will be in college! Let that sink in for a moment! You do not want to look back at Senior Year and think, "Wow, I wish I had done that…" or "I wish I was more involved in high school.." It is exciting to think about college and be done with high school, but it is your last year of high school at home with your friends. Enjoy it! You don't want to regret missing out on things.
- Challenge yourself. Continue to take challenging courses, this will keep you on top of your game. If you take an easier course load, it can be much more tempting to slack off.
- Have fun! Remember to take time to have fun! Everyone needs some time to recharge. Just find a balance between working hard and having fun. This will make Senior Year that much sweeter.
The Top Tips to Surviving Your Freshman Year of High School
High school can be a very overwhelming place, especially since you're the new kid on the block. You're in a new environment surrounded by new teachers and new students. While high school can be scary, it's also the start of a new chapter in your life. This year, you don't have to take admissions tests, look at colleges, or apply for financial aid. It's the perfect time, though, to start taking the first steps on the path that will take you to your dream school. Here's a list of what you can do in your freshman year of high school to help you prepare for college:
- Get yourself a daily planner. High school is a busy time between classes, friends, extracurricular activities, studying, family, college prep, and the rest. A daily planner will help keep everything in your life in order. Every assignment due date, test, deadline, or appointment will all be in one place.
- Challenge yourself in school. Select classes that will stretch your knowledge and skills – and impress colleges down the road. This is also a great time to map out the classes you'll take over the next few years.
- Get the best grades you can. Remember your freshman year grades do count! They will affect your GPA and will be viewed by colleges.
- Form relationships with your favorite teachers. Not only will they help you throughout your high school career, you'll feel very comfortable asking them to write the recommendations for your college applications.
- Find extracurricular activities that spark your interest. These can be activities organized by your school or activities that you do outside of school. Be willing to try activities that are new to you whether it's volunteering, a new sport, or a club.
- Start learning about the new PSAT and SAT! You will be one of the first classes to take the new tests. The College Board has already shared some important information and you can learn about it all on our SAT Test Change page. Remember to keep checking this page for the most up-to date info on the test change!

Match Report: Brendan Rodgers draws on special Anfield night despite exit
Liverpool 3 Zenit St Petersburg 1 (Zenit win on away goals)
Ian Herbert
Ian Herbert is Chief Sportswriter at The Independent.
Friday 22 February 2013
It was a tantalising glimpse of the past Liverpool are so desperately trying to re-create. The drama, the denouement, the din almost heaving the roof off Anfield. We actually seemed to be stepping back into that gilded European era which, precisely six years ago last night, saw Rafael Benitez's team step out in front of 88,000 fans in the Nou Camp, beat Barcelona 2-1 and begin to believe, prophetically as things turned out, that they might travel all the way to another Champions League final.
That the Europa League should have proved beyond them at the first knock-out stage, leaving the eternally positive Brendan Rodgers to speak reverentially late last night about Zenit as "a team of that ilk" is a measure of how far they must climb to get back. "Hopefully in the future there will be many more great nights. Having experienced that, I want many more," the Liverpool manager also said. It's part of the agony of belonging to Liverpool that no-one knows how long that might take.
It may feel like a slightly desolate place when the dust settles, with no fixture this weekend and nothing left to play for except the very slender prospect of a top-four place in the Premier League. But at least this was a touchstone to the past; a performance– led by Luis Suarez but written through by the contributions of Lucas Leiva, Jose Enrique and Joe Allen – to warm spirits chilled by the last six months.
Everyone had a night of spirited European football to invoke as Liverpool sought the improbable feat of overturning a two-goal European first leg deficit for only the second time in their history. Although they began impressively and forcefully, with Steven Gerrard in an advanced role and Jordan Henderson and Enrique threatening with their delivery from the left, the Russian counter-attacking trident of Hulk, Danny and Axel Witsel was rapier fast.
This was the prospect that Jamie Carragher was confronted with a little less than 20 minutes in, when Gerrard's fire-and-brimstone tackle cannoned back to the feet of the 35-year-old. Quick feet were required to control with his right and clear with his left from the lurking Hulk. Carragher didn't possess them. The striker pounced, seizing the ball and romping forward 15 yards to place the ball past Pepe Reina. It was a desperate moment for Carragher and one which so ill-befitted his last European night for his beloved club. "There's no blame. It's probably the first mistake I've seen him make since I've been at the football club," Rodgers reflected.
A mountain was in Liverpool's way but they poured forward to scale it, delivering players to the offensive effort who have simply not been in there during some of the capitulations which have punctuated this season. First Daniel Agger, slaloming through towards the Russian area, to be felled Igor Denisov, for the free-kick which Suarez thumped, right-footed, through the kind of wall for which eastern Europe is not famous. Then Allen lurking in the area to receive an Enrique cross, deflected off the foot of a lunging Aleksandr Anyukov, which he scooped in adroitly after Vyacheslav Malafeev had parried his first header.
Rodgers insisted last night that his side were denied a penalty at 2-1, when Tomas Hubocan waved his arms at a Suarez cross, though initial viewing suggested the ball hit his leg. More questionable seemed to be the manager's decision simultaneously to remove Allen and Henderson, both performing well, for Jonjo Shelvey, who struggled, and Ossama Assaidi, which affected the rhythm of the team. At the time, Suarez had just levelled the scores with a searing free-kick. Liverpool were favourites then. This seemed like a moment for Rodgers to stick, not twist.
Assaidi's one mazy run drew yet another Suarez free-kick, which Malafeev palmed sharply away before a gilt-edged opportunity was blasted wide by Shelvey. The players left to an ovation and the stadium stilled at last. But the hope is unceasing. They won't stop believing that there will be a brighter day.
Man of the match Suarez.

Best 10 inch tablets
We round-up the best 10in tablets on the market
Apple has promoted a one size fits all approach with its 9.7in iPad and iPad 2 tablets, and most of the competition has followed suit with similar sized 10.1in models.
Pitched as ideal media consumption devices, 10in tablets are said to be the ideal tech device that sits between a smartphone and a notebook — large enough to work comfortably on, but light enough to carry around on a day to day basis.
Popular 10in tablets include the Galaxy Tab 10.1v, sold exclusively through Vodafone, the Motorola Xoom, launching initially on Telstra and then available through Optus, and the Acer Iconia A500, sold through retailers including Harvey Norman and Myer.
Upcoming releases are set to include the thinner Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (not to be confused with the current Galaxy Tab 10.1v), ASUS' Eee Pad Transformer and Eee Pad Slider models, and the webOS-powered HP TouchPad.
4 / 8
The Acer Iconia A500 is a little on the chunky side, but potential buyers may be happy to make the sacrifice in return for USB and HDMI-out connectivity.

I own an Acer A500, and as an ex iPad owner, I love the A500 more. The major pluses for me are Adboe Flash and tab ability in browser, customisation, better keyboard, widgets, drag and drop files in explorer (bye bye iTunes) and an awesome array of ports with full and micro USB, micro HDMI, and a micro SD card slot.
cant wait to have a look at all of these when they get here, we have the Acer A500 in Stock and its pretty sweet, http://shop.pchappy.com.au/Notebooks/Acer-Iconia-10-1-Tablet-A500.aspx?stockid=13228

Cramer recommended FRX 20 points above current price.He recommended Intc and TXN several months ago when they were both 30% higher.He recommended comcast when it was 20 points higher.He spoke like God that after June 30th the market will explode on the upside,Now he says sell all drug stocks and blames all of his mistaken calls on Bush.Once think I have learned the hard way is "Don't listen to Cramer."
Thanks for the info. Good luck to you.
Yes, got the email earlier and I did buy 300 to average down. That sounds awfully close to my recent history w/ JC (no irony there) ;). They are confident of it.
So are you saying they e-mailed to buy more FIX today? If so, I guess they're comfortable with it's decline?I've spoken with the CFO at FIX and he's seems a sharp fellow.
bought 300 more on their email
Just heard Cramer say the since he picked KMRT, all is forgiven. Not a word on AA, FRX, EMC, INTL, DD, NT, CMLS, RHAT.I guess that's his pattern, he has no responsibility and, now, Bush did it. That's a popular chorus. My cat was sick last night, "Bush did it!". What a man.Under 10 looks sound and its producing, but the same rules I apply to Cramer apply here. IN a down market don't buy the second email, wait, you'll get it lower.
I tried the free trial of the under 10 service, but didn't subscribe when the trial was up just because I knew Cramer had a hand in it, too. I recognized some of the picks as Cramer favorites.I'm not anti-Cramer; I just think his methods aren't working and his ego is preventing him from taking actions to preserve capital: his and his subscribers. I hope for all that he gets it together.And when I had the under 10 free trial, I made a little with it, but I have one stock left from the service that continues to decline: FIX.If any of you guys get the Under 10 service, could you tell me what they're saying about FIX?TIA, and best of luck to all
had it for almost a year---gonna cancel at renewal-don't need help to pick a handfull of div. stocks a year. use action alert ---need to use it for ideas ---you can't play like crammer unless u have big bucks--im down 9k on frx-you have to stop out of his stocks after a couple of points or you will get burnt.he is hot and cold
Thanks for the info on "Stocks under $10". I personally don�t like cheap stocks. I rather to have 25 shares of PD than 1000 shares of NT or LU. Buy the way, I sold PD yesterday. Bought it @ 68 a few weeks ago. Will buy back if it comes down to mid $70s. I�m more interested to try �The Save Safe Plan�. Is anybody have used this service?
The under $10 service is pretty good. I worked for Cramer before, and I love reading all of the Cramer bashers on this sight. It brings me sheer joy to see that psycho being ridiculed left and right. More on under $10 service. Me and David Peltier, one of the Port Mgrs of the under $10 service worked side by side for a couple of months... He is a bright guy who applies sound theory to all of his investments. He is no Cramer, you can make $ investing with Dave. Initiated position with Frx @ $52. By the way I also started buying PD when Cramer said to sell... Now its over $80!! I dont subscribe to any of his services... infact reading these message boards are more than enough info I need in order to find out what Cramer is doing.
marketmark2004 has hit it when he said: "Then, as they drop, all he says is "buy more". Well, if you average down and wait forever, I guess anyone with deep enough pockets can eventually break even. But I thought this game was to make money, not break even."That's the essence of Cramer's plan. If you don't have the millions to average down when he's cold, you'll lose big.What I don't get are the people that call him and say: " I've made $XXXXX.XX with your advice." Either lucky, wealthy enough I don't why they use him or liars. They all sound too happy to be liars.I was up pretty good going into April, better than 10%. Following him has nearly wiped that out. He knows he's on the ropes with guys like me, though he's eating as little crow as possible. Stocks under $10 is a better service.

British & Irish Lions
Wilko plays down Lions talk
Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:05
I'm like the guy in the armchair
Jonny Wilkinson has played down his chances of being selected for the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia, saying Owen Farrell and Toby Flood deserve their chance.
Wilkinson continues to impress for French club Toulon and his masterful display of kicking and defending in Sunday's 21-15 win over Leicester in the European Cup quarterfinals led many to suggest he could do a job for the Lions in June.
However, the 33-year-old playmaker said: "As far as I'm concerned, I'm like the guy in the armchair, wishing I could be on the Lions tour."
Wilkinson, the second-highest points scorer in Test history, wouldn't turn down a Lions call-up but added: "It's now about the young guys taking the game forward."
The Lions squad is announced April 30.

Gophers Ready For #B1GMediaDay
July 25, 2014
The University of Minnesota football team begins fall practice on Aug. 1 and hosts Eastern Illinois at home on Aug. 28 to open the season. Before any of that can happen though, the media rounds must be made.
A trio of Gophers - safety Cedric Thompson, running back David Cobb and quarterback Mitch Leidner - will join coach Jerry Kill in Chicago for the Big Ten's annual media days on Monday and Tuesday. The two-day whirlwind media tour takes place at the historic Hilton Chicago and draws media from all over the country.
Minnesota's quartet will visit with television outlets BTN, CBS, ESPN and FOX and will also face numerous questions from print and online media and a large radio row contingent. The two-day event, which also includes photo shoots and an alumni autograph session (Laurence Maroney will represent the Gophers), concludes with the 43rd Annual Kickoff Luncheon on Tuesday afternoon.
The three student-athletes will then return to Minneapolis on Tuesday night to prepare for camp, while Coach Kill will travel to ESPN in Bristol, Conn., on Wednesday for the annual Big Ten Coaches ESPN Car Wash. Kill will spend about five hours in Connecticut, but is slated to participate in 14 different interviews/photo shoots during that time. Among the highlights will be visiting with numerous ESPN.com reporters, participating in a live chat and appearing on ESPNU, College Football Live and SportsCenter.
Minnesota begins its fall camp on Aug. 1 and will have three practices and one scrimmage open to the public.

Jasmin King considers massage a higher calling, and her devotion to the art of healing is evident in both her practiced hands and her spirited personality. For further proof of how seriously she takes her craft, take note of her fluency in modalities that range from the gentle strokes of Swedish massage to the targeted pressure of deep-tissue and sports massage. Her knowledge extends even to specialty modalities such as Hawaiian lomilomi, which ties together flowing, graceful strokes with a meditative focus.
King's healing abilities don't stop at massage. Her spa treatments include facial massage and body wraps, the latter of which cocoon clients in scented fabrics that release toxins and promote the growth of nascent butterfly wings.
The staff at Vitalogy Skincare tends to skin's health and appearance across eight dermatology locations. Medical-dermatology services cover conditions such as acne, rosacea, and hair loss; cosmetic dermatology focuses on looks with Botox and Juvéderm injections, as well as laser removal of spider veins and hair. Lasers also resurface skin or guide complexions through photorejuvenation, which diminishes the appearance of sun damage to restore younger, more vibrant looking skin. Vitalogy also tackles skin cancer with Mohs surgery—in which founding doctor Eric Adelman, DO, is a fellowship-trained physician—a precise method that quashes the cancer by carefully removing tissue layer by layer.
Sara Berens, Luster Spa's owner and lead aesthetician, distills 13 years of professional experience into each treatment, performing efficacious facials and hair-removal services. Located inside Salon Republic, Luster Spa uses warm wax to clear skin areas of unwanted hair, leaving room for the studio's Swarovski crystal body tattoos or hand-penned grocery lists. A collection of facials treats specific concerns including those of acne-prone, dehydrated, and aging skin.

Voted by the Nickolodeon Parents' Picks Awards as San Antonio's Best Kids' Hair Salon in 2009 and 2010, Sharkey's combines skilled scissoring with interactive games, lighted dressing rooms, and whimsical barber chairs within a vibrant, engaging atmosphere. Similar to vintage drive-thru salons, kids awaiting treatment can watch DVDs or play video games on personal flat screens while resting in miniature motorcycles, purple Barbie Jeeps, and sparkling Mercedes Benzes. A Sharkey's kids' cut ($18.95) gussies girls with a shampoo, haircut, wet style, hair clip, glitter star, balloon, and lollipop. Meanwhile, dapper lads get washed, chopped, gel styled, candied, ballooned, and tattooed with a temporary decal. Call ahead for an appointment, and to reserve your child's chosen chair.
At Beautiful Solutions, beauty seekers acquire lustrous and toxin-free skin without transplanting their brains into metallic exoskeletons that attract refrigerator magnets. Each body wrap utilizes a blend of 27 select minerals and herbs mixed with aloe vera to heal and nurture absorbent skin. During the treatment, the body is covered in special towels soaked in a mineral and herb solution, and the senses are soothed by aromatic scents. Skin emerges toned and firm, but not likely to bully hair follicles and take their lunch money. Drinking eight glasses of water per day for the next five days facilitates the detoxification process and helps maintain a sleek and revitalized muscle holster. Male patients must bring swimming apparel for the treatment.

Normally, by this time of year, there are a million things I want. Sale season is in full swing, my trigger finger is itchy in anticipation of second markdowns, everything on the shopping front is grand. This year, despite the fact that I love a lot of what's going on in fashion right now, my Christmas Wish List (and birthday wish list, since it's Christmas Eve) is kind of limited.
Gift Guides(Page 2)
Getting a gift for your mom can be tricky, no matter her age. You want to carefully straddle the line between luxury and practicality; I don't know any moms who aren't busy (my mom, who is retired and has two grown children, still never picks up her cell phone because she's always out and about), and I also don't know any who couldn't use a little bit of a treat.
When we think Gucci, we think of fabulous Italian style, best-of-the-best exotic handbags and leather goods with a rich historical context. All of this continues Gucci's iconic tradition, which is why giving the gift of Gucci will leave anyone jumping for joy.
We've looked at budget-friendly gift ideas under $500 and under $250, and now we're down the budget-friendliest of them all: gifts under $100. Whether your wallet is feeling a little tight this season or you simply have too many friends and loved ones to lavish something extravagant on all of them, these gifts pack a lot of value into their relatively small price tags.
As much fantasy gifts are fun to look at and think about, the reality for most people, even most luxury customers, is that we've all got a budget to stick to. In keeping with that idea, we've constructed a series of price-tiered gift guides to make shopping with your checkbook in mind just a bit easier.
We've spent a lot of time in the past couple of weeks searching high and low for the best handbags and accessories to give and receive, and because of that, we can say with confidence that you'll scarcely find a better accessories gift selection then that at Nordstrom.
The holidays get very expensive very quickly. Not only are there gifts to buy, but there are parties (both to attend and to throw), holiday dinners, travel expenses and a whole other hosts of costs that go along with a celebration.
There are a few obvious bag gifts every holiday season. After all, who wouldn't want a classic Chanel or Hermes bag, if one were an option? Beyond just the obvious choices, though, there's a whole, wide world of potential handbag gifts out there, spread among a variety of price ranges and for nearly everyone on your list.
As much as we'd like to give everyone a handbag for the holidays (and we really, really would), that's just not an idea that's within our budgets this year. Makeup, skincare and haircare, on the other hand, are a much more price-flexible gift idea; a $30 eyeshadow palette is delightful, but so is a $600 set of Tom Ford lipsticks.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – May 28, 2014 – As of 2:30 p.m., today, Virginia Beach Public Works has closed the Elbow Road Bridge (between Salem Road and Round Hill Drive) due to corrosion of a structural member that has reduced its load capacity.
The bridge will remain closed to traffic until repairs can be made. Traffic will be detoured and maps that show the detour routes will be posted on the Virginia Beach Public Works Department's web page at: www.vbgov.com/publicworks as soon as they become available.
The repairs to the bridge are currently being developed, and the city's contractor will start repairs as soon as materials and conditions allow for work to begin (i.e. weather). It is unknown at this time how long the bridge will be out of service. Current estimate of length of closure is five to seven days. Additional information will be distributed as it becomes available.
This road closure is likely to produce traffic delays, congestion and some construction noise. Advanced warning and detour signs will be clearly posted advising motorists of the road closure and detour route. Citizens are urged to schedule their commutes accordingly to avoid delays.
For additional information, please contact Chris Hasty with Virginia Beach Public Works at (757) 385-1470, or email@example.com.

Im doing some image processing and I have the coordinates of the 4 points of a quadrilateral. (something like a trapezium) How can i get the coordinates of all the pixels inside it? I'm using Java by the way. Thanks!
You need scanline polygon filling.
Here's a quick PDF lecture on the subject:
Here's a web page example with some sample C code and a good illustration of the basic idea:
Here's the short form. Divide your quadrilateral lines into those that are on the left, and on the right. For each constant-Y-coordinate row, figure out the crossing point for the left line; figure out the crossing point for the right line; all pixels on that row between the two crossing points are inside of your trapezoid.
Just by way of history, this sort of thing was originally (and probably still is) done for rendering 3d scenes in software. I think it had a different name back then, but I can't remember it. However, you don't actually have to draw the pixels; the algorithm will give you the pixels whether you draw them or not.
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Find_which_side_of_a_line_a_point_is_on has pseudocode on how to find which side of a line a point is on.
If your quad is defined by points are A, B, C, D - checking if your point is on the 'left' side of AB, BC, CD and DA should give you the answer.
Edit: Oops, I read your question as finding a point, not all points. Hope this is helpful still.
Is this a collision detection question? Do you want to know if a given point is inside a shape? Or do you you really want the co-ordinates of all the points inside your shape?

Veterans Disability Attorney James Fausone Comments On Call for VA Disability Benefits Reform
Northville, MI (Law Firm Newswire) August 19, 2013 – According to former VA Secretary Anthony J. Principi, the VA backlog of disability claims is due to the most recent policy decisions and laws that have burdened the system.
Principi argued that current eligibility requirements are far more liberal than, as President Lincoln once charged, "To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan." He said that the 50,000 veterans wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan who have filed for disability claims are not the reason the system is clogged, but that the system was already overwhelmed by veterans who were filing claims from long-ago service.
"While every benefits system may face the occasional questionable filing, the focus of the VA disability benefits system needs to support the servicemen and servicewomen who need those benefits to which they are entitled," commented veterans disability attorney James Fausone.
Principi called for the restoration of the "integrity" of the Veterans Administration claims system in a keynote address this June at a forum on the VA. The forum, co-hosted by Concerned Veterans for America and The Weekly Standard magazine, featured Principi's keynote speech, where he stated that Congress, vet service organizations and the VA, must address the expansion of disability pay eligibility. Principi has called for a "rebalancing" of priorities or the VA system will be at risk, he said. His remarks were in sharp contrast to other speakers, who urged the VA to work more efficiently and faster on the backlog of disability claims still pending.
More than one million claims are filed each year: an estimated 80 percent of these are filed from veterans who served prior to 2001, Principi said. A vet who served a single day in Vietnam can file for medical conditions typically seen in aging men, Principi said, such as prostate cancer, lung cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Type II diabetes.
It has been 40 years since the end of the Vietnam War, and 37 percent of VA claims have been filed by Vietnam vets, twice as many as those filed by recently discharged vets, according to Principi. And, says Principi, as much as 11 percent of claims, 100,000 or more, have been filed by veterans who never saw conflict. Vietnam-era vet claims increased, posited Principi, due to assumptions that "ailments of aging" such as some heart diseases and Type II diabetes, were added to the list the VA accepted as caused by exposure to Agent Orange.
The VA paid out $26.6 billion in 2005 in disability compensation. By the end of 2013, it will pay out more than $60 billion.

The time is nearing for Nicole's contract with DSP Media to expire!
According to one entertainment representative, Nicole will officially wrap up KARA promotions in February and then go to the United States to study abroad. Supposedly, she and her mother are in the process of preparing vocal and dance training. In addition, Nicole's side disclosed to My Daily, "She is preparing to leave for America."
Additionally, Japanese media outlet 'Tokyo Sports' had reported on January 10, "Nicole has disappeared from the picture of the 5 KARA members for the Android Smart Phone application 'I Love Music' game."
The Korean communication carrier and Japanese corporation KT Japan responded to this with, "We acted one step ahead as Nicole's contract expires on the 16." DSP Media told Sports World on January 13, "That was just a simple accident. The picture immediately returned to its original state."
SEE ALSO: KARA successfully wrap up their 3rd Japanese tour
DSP Media also left a statement on KARA's official home page, "DSP Media's contract with Nicole, who had been a member of KARA for the last 7 years, will expire on January 16, 2014 . . . Her promotions with KARA will unfortunately come to an end, but we ask that you join us in supporting Nicole as she prepares for a new beginning."
In relation to KARA's future activities, the agency wrote, "This year, KARA are preparing for various activities, such as individual acting and an album release . . . We ask for the same amount of support and love in the future for the KARA members who wish to appear before their fans with an even newer image."

I wish her best of luck. I know Kara won't be the same without her but I also do know that for any profession you are in, staying at the same workplace for more than 7 years is undercutting your potential for new experiences, more pay, or moving up.

Hope to see Nicole soon!

Though I'm not a big fan of Kara anymore, it's still saddening. She used to be my favorite member. Good luck, Nicole...
ssilhyn· Posted January 14, 2014 @ 8:31 am
so funny how some people who claimed to be their fans are telling people here if they will still be a "kamilia" after Nicole's withdrawal of renewing her contract with DSP. Kara isn't just made by Nicole, we might be used to see them 5 but there are really a circumstances like this.. Just like their sunbae, ss501 and my idol, they can still be on stage as 5, might not be now but of course SOON and in the FUTURE!!! People are telling DSP suck or not good agency for not supporting Nicole, well think about it, if DSP didn't support Nicole, then y did they let her go and do what she wants, simple bec. they want Nicole to do what she really wants and not pushing her to re-sign with them and just do whatever the agency wants.. Letting go sometimes is the answer for a better future.. come one, Kara might be famous as group but we all just saw them as a group, of course everyone wanted to see them growing as an artist, then let's see them as that!! Solo career is sometimes depends on how people will appreciate them.. the result will still depends on us, viewers.. so let's see an ARTIST KARA rather than an IDOL KARA!!! just support the five of them not just one or two...
I will always support Nicole & KARA!
