I've recently bought a home and Mr. Myers and his partner Mr. Russo attended the closing. He knows a lot about home purchasing contracts and was very helpful.

FREE VALENTINE DAY GIFT - The Child – Alien in the Delta
One night, the basketball teams played out-of-town at a high school, which was thirty miles from where we lived. After the girls basketball teams finished their game, a very tall girl with light gray-blue eyes from the rival girls basketball team came over to me and said.
Hey, boy, what's your name"?
"Thankful." I said
"What do your friends call you? She asked.
"My friends call me Thee," I said.
"I don't like that name." "From now on, I'll call you my boyfriend." She said.
She was one of the most popular girls in her school and played on the 'girls' basketball team. When she said that she wanted to be my girlfriend, and I said okay. This was a great confidence builder for me because she chose me, was two years older than me and a senior in high school. She had been dating seniors, and now she chose me, and I was just a sophomore. We only saw each other at basketball games or other school activities.
Our high school basketball teams played the district championship games in her home town. We stayed in that town as long as our team won. This gave me a chance to visit my girlfriend at her home. She asked me to come over to her house at about 5:00 p.m. because her parents would not be home. When I arrived, she invited me in, and we sat on the sofa and began kissing. We French kissed for a long time. By now I was very proficient at French kissing. When we kissed, I tasted liquor on her lips. Stopping to catch my breath, I noticed that her tongue was green. I wondered if my tongue had turned green also. Was this some new kissing technique I hadn't heard about, one that turns your tongue green? After making a quick assessment of the situation, I remembered how surprised and displeased I was, seeing her green tongue and smelling the alcohol on her breath. She asked me to have a drink of crème de menthe (a mint-flavored alcoholic beverage) with her, and when I refused, she told me to leave her house. I got up to leave, but she wouldn't let me go and held on to my shirt. Finally letting go of my shirt, she asked me not to leave. I realized that she was tipsy. So I left the house anyway, and I never saw her again. However, she sent me her picture and an invitation to her graduation ceremony. She had planned to attend college in the fall. Thinking back on that situation, I would enjoy having some crème de menthe on the rocks now.

The Soldier - Alien in the Delta - FREE - November 7,8,9,10,11
(excerpt from The Soldier)
My German friends took me to a village called Roden, close to the city of Saarlouis. We would often go to this guesthouse named after the owner, Agnes. At first appearance it looked like any other guesthouse that we were used to visiting, except the young women waiting the tables were in their late twenties and early thirties. They were older than the other young women that worked in other guesthouses.
Normally, guesthouse seating had tables with four chairs and nothing else. Agnes's guesthouse also had that type of seating in the daytime. The place was rearranged differently at night and especially on weekends. Two sliding walls were opened up to reveal what looked like living rooms. They had nice, soft couches and chairs with low tables in front. Candlelit lamps sat on end tables, and beautiful maroon drapes hung in front of the windows.
We went to Agnes's place during the day most of the time, when beer cost less. At night the beer and other drinks would double in price.
Agnes, the owner, looked to be in her middle fifties, was about five feet six inches tall with dark, short hair, and was a little on the heavy side but not fat. When she spoke with you, her voice sounded confident and clear; even though she displayed a motherly type personality toward everyone, you knew that she was the boss.
Her husband Nickolaus was a small man about the same height as Agnes, and his hair was beginning to turn a little gray on the sides, which made him look older than his wife.
Their daughter, young Agnes, was five feet seven inches tall and in her late twenties. Her skin looked as if it was naturally tan all the time. She had a beautiful face with shoulder-length black hair, which complemented her slender figure. You would never guess that she had two children. Her husband Josef was a handsome man who looked about thirty. He was six feet tall with brown hair and a muscular build. He was very friendly and very jealous. When we went to Agnes's guesthouse, I would speak German with her, and she would help me by correcting my German. Everyone working in the guesthouse helped me. They treated me like a family member.
Their home was in the same building as the guesthouse, with a kitchen on the first floor and their bedrooms on the second floor. I was invited to their home one Sunday morning to have breakfast with the whole family. I noticed that the young women who were waitresses also lived with Agnes. They joined us for breakfast. As we sat and had breakfast, Agnes asked me if I could bring them some liquor from the base. Nickolaus said that they would pay me ten times more than it cost me to purchase on base. I happily agreed to their terms.
I brought them liquor every time we visited their guesthouse. Liquor was rationed to servicemen monthly. My allocation was four bottles per month. This turned out to be quite a little profit-making enterprise for me.
On Friday nights, Saturday nights, and Sunday afternoons, the guesthouse was always packed. The living room sections would be opened up to provide additional space for the mostly male customers. The waitresses would remain in the living room with their customers. The men bought expensive bottles of champagne, wine, and shots of liquor for the tables in the rooms. About every hour a male customer would leave the living room with his waitress and go upstairs. She would give him a tour of the bedrooms, and she 'wasn't even a real-estate agent.

About every hour a male customer would leave the living room with his waitress and go upstairs. She would give him a tour of the bedrooms, and she 'wasn't even a real-estate agent.
Agnes and family were the owners of a guesthouse that turned into a brothel at night and on weekends. At the same time, the young women waitresses would turn into prostitutes. You could make arrangements to have sex with them for a price. Prostitution was a legal business activity in
. Germany
On Saturday and Sunday, it was very difficult to find a parking spot close to Agnes. Their backyard was used for VIP parking. The yard would be filled with expensive German vehicles. Several waitresses would be sitting in the living rooms next to their customers. Young Agnes would also be sitting with the executives. Her section was filled with the wealthiest executives; they bought the most expensive drinks.
On Sundays when we visited the guesthouse, young Agnes would ask me to take Josef (her husband) away for a while to Luxembourg because he was extremely jealous. He could not watch his wife sitting on the coach drinking with other men without saying something to the men. So Agnes paid me in US dollars many times to take him anyplace for several hours.
I almost never had to buy drinks in Agnes's place, because usually the young waitresses and the owners would just bring drinks and leave them on my table. Drinks that had been purchased by the customer seated in their section
About every six months a new group of young women would come from other parts of
Europe to work at Agnes's place. Each one of them had a unique appearance or distinctive personality. While in , I never though very much about Agnes's guesthouse being a brothel. Now when I reflect back on the situation, it was an incredible experience I had as a nineteen year old, selling liquor to the owners of a whorehouse. Germany
Are you wondering if I was ever paid in trade? I will never tell.

[The Adult - Alien in the Delta] NOW FOR FREE
Success to me is setting and achieving goals. Becoming successful requires hard work, with a lot of luck and some well-thought-out risk taking. Do you want to know what it feels like to achieve a little success? It feels great!
We had taken a chance on an investment that could have caused us financial hardship for a very long time, had we failed. But on August 18, 1979, after almost three years of ownership, we sold the apartment buildings for a nice profit. Keeping more money from my earnings and paying less in income tax were our goals, and they had been accomplished with that purchase. The investment in the apartment buildings established a tax shelter that lasted far beyond anything we had planned. It helped us to obtain the knowledge and experience so that we could continue to investing in real estate. Over the years, we have been very successful with our income-property investments.

Shares of the largest publicly traded U.S. life insurer fetch around $53, just nine times projected 2014 profit of $5.69 a share and 1.1 times a conservative measure of book value that excludes unrealized investment gains -- a figure favored by many analysts and investors. That book value measure stood at $48 at the end of 2013, while stated book was $53.
MetLife's fans say the stock (ticker: MET), now yielding 2.1%, could top $60, supported by rising book value and higher earnings. It also offers a play on both a stronger stock market and higher interest rates. "MetLife is well positioned for when rates rise. It has a superior international operation that benefits from growth in the developed and emerging markets," says Barclays analyst Jay Gelb. He carries an Overweight rating on MetLife and a $62 price target.
Gelb notes that MetLife's price/earnings ratio of around eight based on projected 2015 earnings is the lowest in the life insurance industry and the company's return on equity is near the industry average at around 12%. There are less than 10 companies in the S&P 500 with a lower price/earnings ratio based on estimated 2015 profits.

"MetLife is one of the cheaper stocks in a sector that is, itself, cheap relative to the market," says Eric Hagemann, an analyst at Pzena Investment Management, a MetLife holder. "MetLife has strong domestic franchises, a growing emerging-markets business, and a solid management team focused on ROE [return on equity] expansion, yet the stock trades at a discount to peers on price-to-book value. We believe this gap will close as regulatory overhang disappears and the company resumes stock repurchases," he says.
One reason the shares of the 146-year-old insurer is so cheap: It's one of only a few large financial outfits not buying back any stock.
MetLife and rival life insurer Prudential are awaiting regulatory guidelines on capital and other issues. It's expected that MetLife will be designated a "systemically important financial institution" like the country's largest banks, but the federal regulators have yet to set these rules for life insurers. The regulations aren't expected until late 2014 or 2015 and conservative MetLife has refrained from stock buybacks -- and it is expected to continue to do so -- until the new rules come out. By contrast, Prudential and American International Group AIG 0.2011704462326262% American International Group Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD54.79 0.11 0.2011704462326262% /Date(1427835728940-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7243812 AFTER HOURS USD54.79 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 180344 P/E Ratio 10.449924662890275 Market Cap 75044802821.178 Dividend Yield 0.9125752874612155% Rev. per Employee 981769 More quote details and news » (AIG), which both have been designated as SIFIs, have been buying back stock.
While most analysts don't see any buybacks until 2015, MetLife is expected to boost its dividend, now $1.10 annually. The dividend could approach $1.50 in 2015, providing a yield of nearly 3%, up from the current 2.1%. The company has made acquisitions, including the purchase of a Chilean pension administrator for $2 billion last year. If the pending regulatory capital rules turn out to be onerous, it's conceivable that the New York-based insurer could separate into two companies, one domestic and the other international, which could put itself below the threshold for which so-called SIFI rules apply.
BEST KNOWN FOR ITS ADS featuring "Peanuts" comic-strip characters and its ubiquitous blimp, MetLife offers life insurance as well as variable and fixed-rate annuities to individuals, and a range of services to employees of big companies, including dental, disability, and group life insurance. In its corporate benefits unit, it offers guaranteed investment contracts -- which are bond-like investments -- to participants in defined contribution retirement plans.
About 30% of MetLife's profit comes from outside the U.S. The insurer bolstered its overseas business in 2010 with the $16 billion purchase of Alico, formerly owned by AIG. The overseas business, including operations in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia is growing faster than MetLife's U.S. business.
It's making progress in meeting financial targets. MetLife hit the lower end of its 2016 goal of a 12%-14% return on equity during 2013 and its earnings mix is shifting away from more capital-intensive activities like life insurance and annuities. The company is seen as capable of generating mid to high single-digit gains in annual earnings.
If long-term rates rise in the next few years, MetLife would profit because it makes it easier to fund fixed-rate products like annuities and guaranteed investment contracts while cutting risk on certain life and annuity offerings that guarantee holders minimum returns. In fact, MetLife is viewed as one of the biggest beneficiaries of higher rates among big financial companies -- MetLife's market value is $59 billion. The stock's movements often track changes in the 10-year Treasury yield with MetLife rising from the high $30s to $50 last spring as Treasury rates surged.
MetLife also is being helped by a stronger stock market since that lifts fees on equity-sensitive offerings like annuities while lessening the risk that it will have to make good on minimum return guarantees on those equity-oriented products.
IT'S A COMPLEX FIRM with complex accounting and an investment portfolio of almost $500 billion, or about nine times its equity base. That makes it vulnerable to market dislocations and indeed, MetLife shares were crunched in the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
The Bottom Line
The stock could be worth more than $60 a share, or about 20% above its recent level, based on rising book value and higher profits. It's also expected to lift its dividend.
Since 2008, MetLife has sought to reduce its business risk and current CEO Steven Kandarian, who took the top job two years ago, has made that a continuing priority. MetLife has stopped selling new long-term care insurance policies -- a business that has stung MetLife and other insurers -- and it has stopped offering a type of universal life insurance that carried elevated risk. MetLife also has pared sales of variable annuities, while cutting the annuity roll-up rate, or the rate at which benefits increase regardless of performance of the underlying investments. This reduces MetLife's risk if equity markets tumble. Variable annuity guarantees were a problem for life insurers during the financial crisis.
It's a plus that Kandarian -- as well as other top executives–have a financial background. One risk with a life insurer is that it tries to sell more products that boost current earnings but expose the company to considerable risk in rocky financial markets.
In a record stock market, MetLife offers a nice package for investors: a rock-bottom P/E and price/book ratio, an attractive global franchise, and a financially astute management team.

Michael Fassbender Takes Best Actor, Chinese Surprise Film 'People Mountain People Sea' Wins DirectorWe might have abandoned the Lido a few days ago, but somehow festival organizers felt able to go on with the final awards ceremony without us this evening. With a jury led by Darren Aronofsky that also included David Byrne, Todd Haynes, Mario Martone, André Téchiné, Ejia-Liisa Ahtila and Alba Rorwacher, it was anyone's game, although for much of the week, talk had pegged Steve McQueen's "Shame" and Yorgos Lanthimos' "Alps" as potential front-runners for the big prize, the Golden Lion. However, the winner turned out to be something of a surpris...Read More »
That was fast, although not unexpected. After excellent reviews out of Venice and Telluride (see our Lido review here), Fox Seachlight has picked up the North American domestic rights to "Shame," the follow-up, sophomore directorial effort by British artist-turned-director Steve McQueen.Read More »
One of the fall festival season's most anticipated pictures, at least in our eyes, is British artist-turned-filmmaker Steve McQueen's New York-set portrait of sexual addiction in "Shame" starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan.Read More »
As English-language directorial debuts in the last few years go, Steve McQueen's "Hunger" ranks up there as one of the most uncompromising. An award-winning, sometimes controversial British artist, McQueen chose to move into feature film by examining the life of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands, managing not to flinch from any of the grim details, using takes of up to 20 minutes in length, and showcasing a tour-de-force performance from the now firmly-planted-on-the-A-list Michael Fassbender. It picked up an enormous amount of critical support, including the Camera D'Or at Cannes in 2008, and signified both director and star as major talents to...Read More »
As the summer winds die down with a flat and uninspired whimper, the realization sets in: the summer of 2011 was for the birds. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was the last major tent-pole to open, followed by sleeper hits like "The Help" and the not-so-successful R-rated action comedy, "30 Minutes or Less." Many had forecast that the overstuffed summer would prove disastrous, with Jon Favreau predicting that, "There's not a weekend where there won't be teeth on the floor," but ironically it's Favreau's film that proved to be one of the biggest box-office disappointments. Financially, films did very well with three billion-dollar blockbuster...Read More »
However, Can This Once-Hot Project Bag The Rising Star?While names like Tom Hardy, Andrew Garfield, James McAvoy, Garrett Hedlund and Chris Pine are ostensibly the five biggest rising and most-wanted leading males in Hollywood, arguably no actor is more desirable in Tinseltown right now in than Irish/German actor Michael Fassbender. In the two and half years since 2009's "Hunger" put him on the map as an acting force to be reckoned with, the thespian has found himself in the utmost demand and has already worked with some of the most top-shelf and interesting directors out there, including Ridley Scott ("Prometheus"), Steven Soderbergh ("Haywi...Read More »
Says The Complex Meta-Adaptation Will Include "Three Separate Worlds"One of the more anticipated films around these parts, likely not hitting theaters until 2012 or even 2013, is Brendon Gleeson's directorial debut, "At Swim-Two-Birds." No, we don't run a Gleeson fanclub, nor are we obsessive fans o...Read More »
Comic-Con wrapped up over a week ago so we're kind of surprised it's taken this long for this to happen, but some pretty grainy, lo-res but no less intriguing snaps from the "Prometheus" footage shown in San Diego have made it to the web, providing us our first look at Charli...Read More »
Update: "The Descendants" image removed by request.Read More »
It's been a flurry of a morning with the awesome Toronto Film Festival line-up being announced. On top of that comes a ton of first looks at films that have been highly anticipated on our part. First up we have quite a few photos of Steve McQueen's "Shame," starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan. McQueen last directed Fassbender in "Hunger," a movie about the 1981 hunger strike in Ireland. "Hunger" was Fassbender's first shove into the spotlight, and he's now one of the year's "it" guys, knocking it out of the park in "X-Men: First Class" earlier this summer and getting ready for an awards push as Carl Jung in David Cronenberg's "A Da...Read More »

Tech survivors rally for gun control
Armed with duct tape, Colin Goddard balanced on a chair to hang a screen so people could watch a film at the Richmond YWCA gymnasium.
Goddard appears to be fairly athletic. But four years ago, he was barely able to do one spin on a bicycle because of gunshot injuries he suffered during the shooting rampage at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007.
Goddard and others gathered in Richmond this week to share their thoughts about gun violence as "Living for 32" – a documentary about the Tech massacre – was screened at the YWCA.
Goddard was one of the people who survived when a fellow Virginia Tech student, Seung-Hui Cho, entered their classroom and began shooting. Cho, who had a history of mental health problems, killed 32 people before killing himself.
Since then, Goddard and other survivors have become activists for gun control.
The film screening in Richmond was organized Monday by the Virginia Center for Public Safety. Colin Goddard's father, Andrew Goddard, is president of the nonprofit group.
Gun control is the subject of debate in the General Assembly as the 2011 legislative session gets under way. It's also a national issue after a gunman killed six people and wounded a dozen, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in Arizona on Jan. 8.
Several bills before the assembly would relax existing firearms laws. Some would make it easier to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon, prohibit the state from restricting firearms or exempt guns made in Virginia from federal regulation. The Virginia Center for Public Safety opposes such measures.
The center supports bills that would provide more gun control. One measure, for example, would require criminal background checks before people can buy firearms at gun shows. Other would ban firearms from libraries, the Capitol and the General Assembly Building.
"They have to keep guns out of the State Capitol," Andrew Goddard said. "We don't want consequences."
To underscore how lax existing laws are, Colin Goddard goes to gun shows and demonstrates that he can buy weapons with cash – and without an ID or background check.
The film screening at the YWCA drew an audience of concerned citizens and victims and survivors of gun violence.
Omar Samaha, a Virginia Tech graduate, joined Colin Goddard in presenting the film and answering questions from the audience.
Samaha's sister, Reema Samaha, was killed during the Virginia Tech shooting. Samaha now works with Students for Gun Free Schools, a grass-roots campaign to ban concealed weapons from college campuses. The campaign was started in honor of Samaha's sister.
"Students feel they need to carry because they don't feel safe ... it is a variety of social issues," Samaha said.
The film recalls events that happened nearly four years ago. For many in attendance, the emotions were as raw as if the ordeal happened yesterday.
Alex Evans was the chaplain for the Blacksburg police and pastor at Blacksburg Presbyterian Church. He was present the day of the shootings and said the film carried him back to the day.
"I felt a very emotional response," Evans said. "But also very logical and practical. [Colin Goddard] is calling on us to improve our law and society."
Goddard says he is not anti-gun; however, he believes society needs more control over violent weapons.
"Living for 32" will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah at the end of January and at Virginia Tech in February. Students can request the film to be shown at their university.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Liveblog: Senate Banking Committee on Foreclosure Fraud
|By: emptywheel Tuesday November 16, 2010 2:21 pm
Liveblogging of the Senate Banking Committee hearing on foreclosure fraud continues. Senator Richard Shelby was actually pretty good, but then Sens. Mike Johanns and Bob Bennett went to some length to try to pretend the banksters weren't doing what they were doing.
Liveblog: Senate Banking Committee Hearing on Foreclosure Fraud
|By: David Dayen Tuesday November 16, 2010 12:35 pm
This hearing is the latest example of national policymakers getting involved in the foreclosure fraud issue. The Congressional Oversight Panel warning of the enormous risk from the failures of servicers was the first report of its kind at the federal level to take full measure of the situation, and this is the first Congressional hearing. Senators on the Democratic side like Jeff Merkley and Sherrod Brown are sure to press the bank representatives aggressively on why foreclosure mitigation programs have failed, and why they used false documents to evict people from their homes. The ranking member on the Republican side, Richard Shelby, wants to investigate failures at the major loan servicers.
MERS Does Full-Court Press In Washington
|By: David Dayen Monday October 18, 2010 6:30 pm
I'm told that MERS is doing briefings on Capitol Hill for Congressional staffers. This is usually kind of the first round of a pushback campaign. Though the issues surrounding MERS are well-known and have been litigated in state courts for a while, today they decided to respond to the many assaults on their business model. The CEO of MERS, R.K. Arnold (is that MERSCORP or MERS Inc., which has no employees?), delivered a statement today, meant to "clarify" questions about its operations. Let's take a look.

The solubility of the major constituents of natural gas in ionic liquids (ILs) can be used to identify their potential for acid gas removal from a producing gas stream. We have developed models for the solubility of H2S, CH4, and C2H6 in ILs at typical conditions encountered in natural gas treatment. In this work, a conductor-like screening model for realistic solvation was used to predict the activity coefficients for solutes in ILs and a cubic EOS was used for vapor-phase corrections from ideality. Empirical correlations were developed to extrapolate solubilities where experimental data are not available at desired conditions; targeted in this study at 298.15 K and 2000 kPa. Over 400 possible ILs were ranked based on the higher selectivity of absorption of CO2 and H2S over CH4 and C2H6. The best 15% (58) of promising ILs for sour gas treatment predominantly contain the anions BF4, NO3, and CH3SO4 and the cations N4111, pmg, and tmg. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 59: 2993–3005, 2013

WANTED: Wanted: Ramps (Allium tricoccum) or wild Leek
Hello. I am in the GTA and looking for Ramps (Allium tricoccum) to start my own small patch. I have lots of other edibles to trade.
St. Lawrence Market had them last year when they were in season in early spring. I bought a couple to plant... we'll see if they made it soon.
The produce store right near the Front St. entrance near Church St. is where I found them last year for $2-3 a bunch.
I pulled up my sunchokes, but they tough to get rid of and I am sure I get a few come up this year. I bought mine at whole foods and seem them at Hyland farms. Usually labelled Jerusalem artichokes. They really did cause me to have bad gas issues ;-) but I did find them quiet nice in the garden. They really spread fast .
I will post again if I find ramps anywhere!
Thanks for the tip, I read that about them (J. artichokes), and apparently one has to get 'used' to eat them...supposed to be very good for people with diabetes?
I wouldn't mind planting some, will have plenty of space.
Hope we can find ramps.
Got them! thanks a a super terrific member of Gardenweb - Shechar, I got a email saying they at St Lawrence market, and so made a dash over and bought them. They now planted and here is to hoping I can get a colony going.
The same store and a couple others had sunchokes including organic
Was just at St. Lawrence Market for lunch. They still have plenty of wild leeks if anyone is still looking. If history is any guide, they will only be in stock for a week or two. The big grocery store downstairs has them too, plus fresh Morels (for $50/lb!)
Also made another great find - fresh tumeric root at the organic store in the basement! Won't survive our winter, but I have been interested in seeing how it grows, and shouldn't be too hard to overwinter indoors if it does well.

What an incredibly horrendous idea. Increases in student debt are the result of students making bad decisions about the schools they attend. Students are enabled by the federal government that created and supports student loan programs that allow these young kids to qualify for insane loan amounts.
A better solution would be to restructure the current student loan programs such that student debt load is capped at some reasonable level. The effect would be that students would be forced to make more rational choices about the schools they decide to attend and how they pay for their education. The education market would respond accordingly as more money flows into community colleges, state schools, and other lower cost education options. Costs would go down.
"Free" college education supported by general taxation or more targeted taxation would have the undesirable effect of disconnecting personal spending choices from personal spending consequences. The result: market distortion that pushes costs up at increasingly unsustainable rates and second order pressure for education rationing by the federal government.

''' Rob found himself resenting the inordinate amount time it takes to fry an egg in the morning and decided something had to be done. Simplifying food as "nutrients required by the body to function" (which sounds totally bulimic, I know, but I promise it's not), Rob has come up with an odourless, beige cocktail that he calls Soylent. '''
I can relate. I also resent the the inordinate amount of time is takes to bathe every day, pick out something to wear, or talk to a girl. Over a 20 year period, the average time a strong and virile young man like myself and Rob are at their mental and physical peak, eliminating egg frying and all these other hassles can liberate up to five years worth of extra time for more worthy pursuits such as playing D&D. Toss in the benefits have making some serious bucks and getting to drink a beige, odorless yet tasty beverage twelve times per day, well...damn. Sign my ass
