Yangon Region has set aside K100 billion (US$97 million) to build 10 affordable housing projects in the 2015-16 fiscal year, according to a senior official from the Department of Human Settlement and Housing Development.
Malaysia-based Frontier Digital Ventures will invest an undisclosed sum in two Myanmar web-based startups, including a property site, according to a press release.
Heavy development is taking a toll, and must be conducted properly if Yangon is to thrive in the years to come, according to experts at the Save Yangon Forum
Efforts to upgrade Mya Kyun Thar Park near Inya Lake are likely to be delayed, according to an official from the Yangon City Development Committee.
The trend for large-scale construction projects continued to alter Yangon's skyline in 2014, with work on many tall buildings now under way and dozens more in the planning stages.
This week's home near Pyay Road is a standalone in a large compound. It could also make the transition to an office – such as a recording studio – relatively easily.
The rate of property transactions likely dropped in 2014 following two years of heady growth, according to experts.
There's something clinical about this week's home in Kamaryut township. It may have been a dentist practice, or the headquarters of one of the more humourless NGOs in town.

Pew Research Center measured political use of Twitter, Facebook before the 2010 elections.
Compared to all social network site users, Tea Partiers were more likely to engage with political candidates and groups on Facebook and other social networks. A survey from Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project measured political use of Twitter, Facebook and other social sites leading up to the 2010 midterm elections.
Compared to 11 percent of all social networking site users, and 13 percent of Tea Party opponents, 22 percent of Tea Party supporters using social sites friended a candidate or cause before the elections. Pew also found some disparity between social networking Republicans and Democrats when it came to friending a candidate or cause. The study showed 17 percent of Republicans did so, compared to 12 percent of Democrats.
All in all, a nearly equal percentage of Republicans and Democrats – 40 percent and 38 percent respectively – used social sites for political purposes before the midterms.
Tea Party supporters using social sites seemed especially engaged and active, the study shows. Twenty-three percent of social networking tea partiers used sites like Facebook to find out who friends voted for, compared to 18 percent of all social network users. Among tea partiers using social sites, 23 percent used the sites to get candidate campaign information, while just 14 percent of all social site users did. The study also found 19 percent of Tea Partiers on social sites used them to post political content, compared to 13 percent of all online social networkers.
According to Pew, 8 percent of U.S. Internet users are on Twitter, while 61 percent use social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace. Eleven percent of Twitter users followed a candidate or political group before the election. Sixteen percent of Twitter users were on the site to get information on campaigns or candidates, and 12 percent were on Twitter to monitor election results as they were reported.
The study shows 36 percent of social site and Twitter users said a "major reason" they used the sites was to feel more personally connected to the candidates or groups they follow.
Pew surveyed 2,257 voting aged adults from November 3 through November 24, 2010.

December 04, 2014 // 2:00pm — 3:30pm

President Obama used his recent trip to Asia to push through the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the centerpiece of the US rebalance to the region. The US pivot represents a significant shift in the country's foreign policy and has generated debate in Europe as to whether it should align with Washington or adopt a more autonomous position, considering that Europe too has rebalanced toward Asia in the last decade. The focus of the European pivot both competes with and complements that of the US.

The only team ever to win 1 World Series in 86 years and actually think they've accomplished something.
The red sox have 0 class compared to the yankees
by blocox March 05, 2005
A team followed by fans who need to take a large rusty medal spoon and eat their own asses out. Get over yourselves. What the hell are you going to bitch about at your job as a sandwhich delievery man or a plummber. Get a life and follow something a little more important than a bunch of grown men playing a kids game.
The Boston Red Sox are a shameful example of a winning team that would be lucky to make the playoffs a year after winning the World Seris.
by Sons of Sam Horn February 24, 2005
A team that seriously needs a reality check and a flea bath, One becuase tehy r so gross and digustiong and 2 they think they r all tough and macho and on top bcuz of ONE WIN IN 86 YEARS. Oh, you no who needs a HUGE flea bath, JOhnnu Damon.. a guy who looks so much like a barabrian that scientist should test him to see if hes from teh stone age.

by yankeesrock March 31, 2005
A team I actually like, along with the Yankees. However, I like the Yankees more. Want to know why? The Red Sox fans are sauntering around, saying the Yankees suck, while they've won the first World Series since 19-freaking-18. Face it guys, the Yankees are better than you. At least for now. If you keep winning the World Series, you'll be the better team. But you haven't truly proven yourselves yet. Yankees are out of your league.
Mazel tov for the win in 2004, though. I was rooting for you.
by alb March 03, 2005
redsox are the lovable losers of the MLB. Yankees are far better and have 26 world championships. Redsox fan suicide rate is higher than any group of ppl on earth because they suck so bad.

Beading Bits
Here I am.
I've somewhat overcome my angst over my routers.
I've now actually done some practicing on scraps, with different bits. Shockingly successful.
I have not given up making some beaded face frames.
I'm looking at Rockler for 1/4" bead-creating bits.
I am not sure of the measurement to buy.
I wanted to know if I'm correct looking a this: 37561.
Are these the right thing? I'm again just afraid of buying the wrong thing.
Thanks for your help!
The bit creates an edge bead.
Point cutting beading bits do not work as well for cutting (the thin point is easily damaged, even in a carbide bit) but can cut grooves away from the edges.
Two passes per bead.
You can find models with very narrow points, but they get more and more likely to break during use.
I just purchase more than one and get to work.
Here is a link that might be useful: Point cutting beading bits
I have a router table and several routers.
To make beads, I use my table saw and the set listed below.
The cutter is the one at the lower right.
By positioning the fence, single bead, double or triple bead can be milled.
Here is a link that might be useful: Making beaded trim
Thanks all. That is helpful!
Oh - I'm in the DC area. I'm looking for someone/place to teach me the finer points of this routing thing. :) I'm feeling better and better about using the simpler bits, but I'd like to have some pointers on the more complicated ones.
I own dovetail bits, mortise and tenon bits, and a bunch of other things I'd like to learn to use. I also have the set up for a bench, without the bench part. I'd like to know how to do that.
I've been haunting the local Woodworker's Club, but they have nothing planned for routers. (Is the world that enamored with turned bowls and pens?)
I don't know anyone to ask to teach me, so I'm hoping you folks might have a suggestion.
Get a book or two by Pat Warner(Routerman).
Or, join www.woodnet.net

CEFReeman, usually a 3/8" bead bit is used for beaded faceframes. You can of course use any size you prefer, but the consensus is that 1/4" is a bit small, and 1/2" is too large to comfortably mount hinges to (unless the faceframe is 1" thick) so 3/8" was settled upon.

Oversize bases
I have noticed that all the Star Trek canon bases are oversized except for Earth Spacedock. Earth Spacedock is 1/2 size smaller than it should be because the doors are supposed to dwarf the Galaxy with but in this game, its not so. Meanwhile the Deep Space 9 and K7 are oversized. Deep Space 9 in this game is 3 times the size it should be and have 1/3 as many windows as it does in the show. K7 is like 10 times the size it should be. In TOS the K7 Station was barely larger than 3 Constitution class ships. You can't say that K7 was upgraded since it was just uncoverd from cloak 2 years ago, and that that style of design has not been in use since TOS. As you look at TOS, the Motion Picture movies, TNG, and the newer movie, you can see that Earth Spacedock has been changed and upgraded to fit the current Flag ships. Since the Odyssey Enterprise is not wider than a Galaxy Class, then there is no need to make Earth Spacedock bigger than canon. It would nice if they brought Earth Spacedock's size up a tad to reflect the true canon size so it can easily fit the Galaxy Class through the doors.
Its funny that all the new Starbases, including the fleet ones, are small and don't have hangars or docking bays that can fit even the smallest starhip. They are more the size of outpost stations than starbases.

The brilliant Ludens Ensemble will enchant us with their ambitious project 'Macbeth in Silence' – an adaption of Shakespeare's classic play turned into a performance solely based on the actors' movements.
Our next feature is something really exciting and yet entirely different from what we might expect from a theatre piece.
Next on our list is Leith-based collective Siege Perilous with a multi-disciplinary live theatre performance of Gorky's 'The Lower Depths'.
Are you ready for some theatre teasers? Sweet! Let's start with the emerging Bracknell-based 80collective, a group of creative minds exploring new work and practice.
We are delighted to announce that we've got the green light for Hidden Door at Kings Stables Road! Thanks to everyone who has helped us get to this stage.
When we first explored the site at Kings Stables Road we completely fell in love with it. We still don't know if we can definitely use it, but the time is coming. Will our great gamble pay off? We'll know soon enough.
We're excited to announce that we'll be working with the fine folk at The Bongo Club on a joint collaboration which will see events taking places across both venues during this year's festival.
We've been promising you something exciting and here it is… our Limited Early Bird Tickets for Hidden Door 2015!

Keeping deer away from your hosta???
We are looking at possibly buying a home on the edge of our little town with a country setting. The neighbor up the hill warned me that the deer are going to have a feast on all my hosta. We stayed out there well into the morning hours, and sure enough, the deer come right through there and go up to her place, and munch on her gardens. She has tried sprays of all kinds, home remedies, etc. I suggested putting a radio out in the gardens. She said that wouldn't bother them in the least. There HAS to be a sure fire way of keeping them out. Looking at the tour links that Steve posted today proves that. So, what IS the secret? Am I going to have to sleep in my hosta "beds"? ;)
I'm in the country with woods all around. Last year it got so bad I covered my plants with plastic garden fencing. This year I tried the milorganite fertilizer and that seemed to work. Then my daughter got me a product called deer scram and I haven't had damage yet. Good luck they can eat alot.
Here, a 4 wire electric fence does the job, mostly.
It helps to 'train' them by placing strips of peanut butter covered tin foil at intervals in early spring. Evil, but effective.
There are at least 50 deer that travel through our 'other' yard each morning and evening, but they don't come into the electrified yard, by and large.
hth and fwiw,
My sister uses one of these Motion Activated Scarecrows to keep the deer away from her garden (we use large dogs). It has worked wonders for her. No fence, no spraying you just have to keep it attached to the hose (and to remember to shut it off when you want to go in the garden).
Here is a link that might be useful: Motion activated sprinker
I live in the country and deer are abundant. I have found that if I spray my hosta (and other perennials) as soon as they start emerging with Invisible Fence, and repeat spray after rain or every week for about a month ... that is all it takes. I do not need to continue all summer.
when I had my farm I didn't grow hosta but I grew lots of edibles, both the kind growing in the ground and the kind growing on the hoof. I used the Irish Spring tip and it worked for me. Put a bar of Irish Spring in a 5 gallon bucket filled with water. Let it sit for a day or two, stir once or twice. Put it in your sprayer of choice and spray any plant you don't want eaten. Worked like a charm for me. Only downside was I had to repeat after every rain.
I had 6 wire hot fence, only thing it kept in was the horses. Deer just jumped it.
Whatever you do just don't feed the deer intentionally or you will never get rid of them.
Enjoy your new homestead. Nothing more relaxing than country living.
This is barely tangentially related, but Cricket Love, I want to know if you plan on moving your hosta garden a la Ken. If you do, keep us posted! (Also, if you don't, maybe you could do a post about how you will go about building a different hosta collection--choices you would readily make again and ones you would strike off your list, etc.) Pretty please?
Love Otto!
We are fenced but as everyone knows, that doesn't stop dear. The first year we planted, they ate everything! But we do have a dog and I think that once the dog pees all over the yard, the deer get the message and stay out.
We just enjoy watching them all stroll past our yard in the field which we back up to.
LOVE Otto!!!!! Weekendweeder - I will be moving all of my hosta. Honestly, I think I would die of a broken heart if I had to leave them behind! Haha! With moving from a very tiny lot to a small acreage, I will be, however, making MANY new beds!!! So, in a sense, it will be like starting over! Great question! I will photo journal the move and share on here!
Thanks for all the great advice, humorous comments, and genuine interest everyone! You all are my "secret garden" at the end of the stressful day! Thank you! :)
I moved my Hostas and other plants from my old property to the new house. Well I got such a surprise....
They ate every hosta and every Daylily in one night. Can you imagine having a full garden and going out the next morning and seeing only stems sticking out of the ground. They even ate the Daffs the first year I moved in.
The property was empty for a few years so it had become their restaurant. I live on 4 acres but not isolated. This is a suburban neighborhood but all the house have large lots.
The property does have a 8' fence but that means nothing to them. I have seen them jump that. I get herds of deer. I have been working on this for 3 years.
I purchased...
Wolf urine that I put in a spray bottle and Spray that occasionally on grocery store plastic bags and hung them on the fence where I see they may have been by the poop evidence.
I put some of the Sweeney's Deer Repellent gadgets. They are covered containers that you put on a stem. That is suppose to trigger flight response to the deer. I suspect it is a wolf urine concoction. Home Depot purchase.
Homemade spray. Onion, Garlic, hot sauce, wolf urine, egg, mixture.
Biondi Deer off work for my deer. I tried every one on the market. Every area deer are different. I do think you have to try them all to see which one your deer do not like.
Nite Guard system. It is a flashing red solar light to fool the deer that they think danger. Of course near that area I spray the wolf urine. So it is a site and smell fix I am using.
I have herds of deer not an occasional walk through deer problem. When I see deer it is 10 or more. I have had as much as 20-50 deer in the front yard at one time.
I have also sprinkle Millorganite 3 times a year.
Finally, there path I have picked up pallets from the grocery store for free. They have trouble walking on these because their feet go through the slat space and fall down.
As you can see I have done everything short of a gun. So far for one growing season only one hosta has been eaten I have 100s. So I am not sure if that was deer, rabbit, groundhog, etc. since it was only one hosta.
I have heard that deer do not like to deal with two fences. You might want to try the electric wire fence with peanut butter outside your 8 foot hurdle. I'm guessing they won't like that. Here are some more ideas including a 7 wire slanted electric fence!
Here is a link that might be useful: Click on the Cornell U. link
But they don't work worth a darn against groundhogs. I have had to resort to putting my new babies in jail, at least until the Repellex kicks in. Blood meal does work somewhat, but the stakes that hold a blood meal cup never had a chance. The raccoons stole them.
Deer will not jump a 5 or 6 foot fence they cannot see through, so I suggest you solidify your fence - a long-term solution could be using dense, fast-growing, tall shrubbery, literally making a living fence. If they can't see their landing site, they move to a spot where they can see what's on the other side. Of course, we all have breaks in our fence - called a driveway - so there could always be a way into our yards. We plan our garden so that the garden area is behind dense living fence walls and inside that is our garden "oasis".
Trust me, this works. I live in the country - we have 60 acres and with it a lot of variety of wildlife. We are surrounded by grain, livestock, and hay fields. In my garden spot, I have a line of dense caraghana on the east because that stuff survives everything. On the south, I have a row of some other dense shrub (have no clue what it is - it sports small pink flowers which the bees are gaga for, and black berries in the fall), a stiff 8-foot windblock fence on the north since the north wind is vicious in the winter, and the house on the west side. Deer don't seem to like our garden because they're essentially trapped. So, my apple tree, roses and other plants stay fairly well protected.
In the more urban areas you could plan your "living fence" so that it meets the local criteria if you have height restrictions, but I doubt you'd have a problem with 6 feet. Of course, while this type of fencing grows, you'd have a deer problem in the meantime, but I was thinking this could be a long-term relatively low-maintenance solution.
I like the water sprinkler idea. Animals don't like to get involuntarily wet, especially from a sudden spray. It's very effective behavior modification.
We use a similar idea for a horse who is a stall kicker. Every time she hits the wall with her back feet, she gets nailed with a jet of water from 3 of the walls on the stall. It's very effective and only takes a couple days to stop the behavior. She tests the system periodically to see if it's still working (which it is since it is a permanent fixture in her stall).
I have been using this product - Shot Gun Deer Repellent by Bonide -
for 3 years now. We back up to corp of engineer property and the deer around here are rampant. I spray once a month (smells horrible for a day or so). It's the only thing I've found that works.

I find that deer will adapt to any single deterrent, given enough time. I rotate deterrents with some overlap - blood meal, Milorganite, and "Liquid Fence" (mixed with some DMSO). It seems to work well despite heavy deer presence in the area.
I'm experimenting with the new granular Liquid Fence - so far so good, but it's too early to be sure.
So many great ideas!
Marquest - I would have been devastated! In tears, on my knees devastated! I'm one of those weirdos who gets on my 3 year old for smashing ants, but I think I would have seriously thought about purchasing a gun! LOL
Did all of your plants survive?
As for deer not jumping solid structures, the neighbors up the hill have a 6' privacy fence and the deer have no problems leaping over it. Maybe they remembered what was on the other side prior to the fence being put up? She's about ready to rip out all her gardens and just reseed with grass :(
We are waiting to hear back about our offer, so PLEASE keep your fingers crossed! I want this house SO bad!!! Maybe if I plant the deer their own special garden, they'll leave mine alone? LOL What do you think of me putting a radio out in the garden at night, along with a motion activated light pointed towards the gardens? Would this even begin to deter the deer? We also found that there are groundhogs living under the deck there. Will they eat my hosta? And raccoon - they don't eat plants...right?
Again, thank you all SO much for all your input! I sincerely appreciate it!
Groundhogs will eat your hostas. And your astlbes, your heucheras and all your veggies. As bad as deer. Trap them out if you can.
Raccoons won't eat your hostas, but they will raid your trash and eat your koi, and dig up your plants, collateral damage looking for worms and grubs. They will also move into your attic if they can. And steal your tomatoes and your corn.
Possums are harmless, if you see them.
Good luck, it's a tough battle but you can win.
If you plant them their own special garden, they will not only love it but they will then venture into to your other gardens to see what other goodies you have. I had a neighbor on adjoining acreage feed the deer. Made me so mad. Once they finished at her place they then came to mine. Always had a deer problem, but once she started feeding them it got much worse.
You might have to trial and error to see what works best for you.
Here's keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck!
Cricket Love, believe me once it sunk in, I was happy my yard is so private. I probably would be in jail or mental hospital if the neighbors had seen me. I was devastated, crying, swearing, stomping you name it I was doing it. LOL
I will wish you luck but be prepared. It is a fight, you have to be committed. They can wear you down. It hurts to look at your gardens all pretty and come out and it is all gone in one night.
They survived they came back this year so I have been out with all my sprays and anything that I can do to have my gardens.
Solid fence does not work have that on one side, Believe me they will jump. I have sat in my morning room and watched them flying over the fence right into the middle of my hosta bed.
mosswitch is right groundhogs will eat your hostas. So I have double trouble. I constantly have had them eat a garden and I find the hole stuff it with used kitty litter top it off with a three bags of dog poop. I have a Mastiff so it is big poop. That keeps them out for about a month.
I did not have the heart to take a pic of the entire garden but I took a picture of my Sum and Substance before and after. Just a sample to give you a visual of what to expect. Do you think you can take this? LOL
Black pepper sprinkled liberally on and around your plants helps some against groundhogs. They don't like that. I buy it by the pound at Sam's Club, lol! But miss just one plant and they will find it! You do have to reapply it after a rain, that is presuming you ever get rain.
Someone told me a couple of days ago that if you hang CDs in your garden it helps scare the deer away when they flash in the breeze. Think I'll try that.
Something is still grazing in the end of the woods, ate most of the impatiens. So I was out there sitting on my bench by the little pond for four mornings in a row at 4 am, and alI I saw was my slug patrol (the dozen or so box turtles that roam the woods) and one young possum come to drink at the pond. I need a game camera.
I've had good luck using deer netting around stuff I want protected. Don't know how good it would work w/ critters like groundhogs but the deer don't mess with anything that's protected with it.
I roll it up & store it over the winter & reuse the next summer. Haven't had to buy any from the store as I've found it a rummage sales & have enough to last thru the next decade, at least.
I live at the end of town w/ school forest behind me. Deer pass through every day but, thankfully, I don't have herds of them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Deer Netting
Mrquest - THAT would completely break my heart!!!! I'm a night owl, so I think my plan of action is to sit out there for a few nights and see what goes on and who comes and goes.
I'm so sorry for your heartache. :(
Mosswitch - Thanks for the black pepper idea! I did find 2 places that they are coming in and out of under the deck on the property. And the CD's is brilliant!
Ronnie - thanks for the link!
ci_lantro - I''m going to look into the netting. Better to be safe than sorry!!!!
Alexis - I kind of figured as much. A lettuce garden will only last for so long before they eat it to the ground and move on. Plus, hosta seem to be their favorite anyway, so they'd probably step right over anything plants "for them".

The watch is as advertised and has so far performed flawlessly. The owner's manual is well written. Within a few minutes of opening the package I was able to set and operate the watch. It is a little heavier than expected but weight is not excessive. One drawback is the need to have the band resized. I took it to a Citizen authorized jeweler who shortened it for a small fee. Point being you lose some of the benefit of buying off the internet by having to visit a jeweler anyway but the he didn't have one on hand and couldn't beat the price!
Completely happy with this watch from the first i saw it i wanted it and i finally got very happy i did

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has chosen 19 schools across the country that it will investigate for instances of gender bias in the admissions process. The schools were chosen based on their proximity to Washington, D.C., with an eye toward making sure the list was a mix of the different kinds of liberal arts public and private four-year institutions.
The commission began its inquiry into whether colleges were being more selective when considering female applicants in November. Why is this happening now? Female enrollment has grown steadily over the years, with about 58 percent of bachelor's degrees being awarded to women, and there has been some concern that men have been given some admissions preference over women as the number of female applicants continues to rise.
The issue has been made even more controversial due to its link to Title IX, the federal law that prohibits gender discrimination at educational institutions that receive federal funding. The law has been most often applied to athletics, as it mandates that men and women are equally represented on sports teams at these institutions. Advocates for female athletes have grown concerned over the inquisition, as it could raise questions about Title IX and whether the legislation is even still needed because the number of women in higher education has grown so significantly.
Perhaps the real question, however, is why the number of men enrolling in college has decreased. A focus on liberal arts colleges in this investigation could point to the fact that fewer men are interested in liberal arts educations, preferring instead technical or research universities or institutions that have proven backgrounds in male-dominated fields like engineering. Regardless, the results of the investigation should at least answer some questions as to whether gender bias is as prevalent as the commission believes, if women are being treated unfairly, and if there need to be changes made on the federal level regarding legislation to prevent inappropriate admissions practices.
The schools receiving subpoenas include the following: Georgetown University, Howard University, Johns Hopkins University, Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, Shepherd University, Virginia Union University, Gettysburg College, Goldey-Beacom College, Goucher College, Messiah College, Washington Colleges, Catholic University of America, Loyola College in Maryland, Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, York College of Pennsylvania, the University of Delaware, the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, and the University of Richmond. All of the schools were chosen based on their location and how representative they would be in the sample with the exception of the University of Richmond, which has been criticized extensively for reports of gender bias in its admissions policies.

A recent analysis by the Associated Press (AP) shows that student-athletes are 10 times more likely than non-athletes to gain admission to their intended colleges and universities through a "special admissions" process. The special admissions refer to allowing students to attend a school on criteria outside of what is typically judged by admissions officials, such as grades and standardized test scores. Put more simply, if you're a stellar athlete with grades that aren't so stellar, you're more likely to gain admittance to an institution of higher education than your less athletic peers.
The analysis identified more than 25 schools, including Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Alabama, where admissions requirements were bent significantly in favor of athletes. According to the AP, at the University of Alabama, 19 football players got in as part of a special admissions program from 2004 to 2006, the most recent years available in admissions data submitted to the NCAA by most of the 120 schools in college football's top tier. The AP got the information using open record laws. Ten schools did not respond to the AP's request, and 18 other schools, including the University of Notre Dame and the University of Southern California, declined to release their admissions data.
Coaches contacted for the AP story justified the special admissions on the basis that other students with special talents - musicians, for example, or gifted dancers - are also judged based on those talents. "Some people have ability and they have work ethic and really never get an opportunity," the University of Alabama's coach Nick Saban said in the article.
So do you buy it? The AP article suggests there isn't anything inherently wrong with special admissions, until it leads to student-athletes being admitted to schools they aren't prepared to attend. Should NCAA admissions criteria be more lax then? Student-athletes participating in NCAA sports are expected to not only have a minimum GPA and decent standardized test scores, but to maintain those qualifications while on a team. Those admitted for their special skills may not be ready for the rigors involved in maintaining a certain academic standard, or more generally, keeping to a rigorous academic schedule. What do you think? Should certain groups of students be offered "special admissions," or should standards remain the same across the board?

High school juniors who took the PSAT this fall are likely beginning to notice a new phenomenon hitting their mailboxes at home: a wave of mailings from colleges across the country. To parents, the flood of viewbooks and application packets is likely reminiscent of the piles of credit card offers that often make up the bulk of their mail. Beyond sheer volume, there are other traits that college mailings share with credit card offers, and these were recently explored by The New York Times.
In recent years, colleges across the country have been sending out priority applications to entice students to apply and hopefully attend. The applications usually come in bright packaging, usually with some language that suggests the student has been singled out as someone of special interest to the college. Some examples the article gives are "Advantage Application," Distinctive Candidate Application" and "Exclusive Scholar Application."
Inside, students find a partially completed application and an announcement that the school has waived the application fee, and possibly some of the application requirements, for a select number of students, including the recipient of the application. In reality, most priority applications are sent out in batches of tens of thousands. The wording isn't always strictly honest, either. One college, University of the Pacific, promised to waive application fees for its "Distinctive Candidate" applicants, but they don't actually require an application fee from anyone.
Still, the applications are convenient for students interested in attending these institutions. Waived fees can save students $50 or more per application, and the option to substitute a graded high school paper for a freshly written college application essay can also be enticing. They can also provide an opportunity to learn about a college the student might have never considered otherwise. In fact, this is the reason many admission officials state for choosing to launch a priority application campaign.
However, some counselors are worried that the inundation of priority applications may encourage students to wind up only applying for college at schools that mail them priority applications. Students can also be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of mailings landing on their doorstep, especially when each application is a nearly identical, overly fluffy, and not necessarily true portrayal of the college and the applicant's chances of being admitted. This can complicate the college search for students who, for whatever reason, aren't able to visit or fully research each school that seems promising. Others in the higher education world worry that these applications represent a prioritization of selling the school, boosting enrollment, and increasing their U.S. News ranking (an increase in applications or in test scores of applicants can be a considerable boost) over their mission of recruiting and educating students who will thrive at their school.
What do you think of these applications? Did you receive any from colleges? Did they affect your college choice in any way?

Despite recent trends of more students across the country enrolling at institutions of higher learning, many students and their families remain mostly uninformed and unprepared to navigate the college and financial aid application process, according to a report issued yesterday called "Planning for College: A Consumer Approach to the Higher Education Marketplace."
The report, from MassINC, a think tank in Massachusetts, looked at decisions students and families need to make when applying to and paying for college, and the information they need to make those decisions. It found that students and parents currently have great difficulty "getting the most out of their college dollar," as the price of higher education only continues to rise.
Perhaps even more alarming is that families have started borrowing more to pay for college, without considering risk and the rate of their return. Related to increases in student borrowing amounts, an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education yesterday looks at the idea that doctoral students finish faster if they take out large loans. The most obvious answer why is that taking out more student loans allows the students to take more classes, and quit part-time jobs that may have been reducing their college costs. It's a choice students must make every day - should you sacrifice some comfort to reduce your student loan debt, even if it means taking longer to complete your degree? It's a personal decision, but students should be aware that they'll be expected to start repaying any debt once they graduate.
The Massachusetts study also found that students and families had little knowledge of tax benefits and college savings plans, and how to compare them. For example, there are 118 different 529 Plans, and the resources out there do little in the way of pointing consumers to the advantages and disadvantages of each. Families and students also admit to knowing little about the actual sticker price of colleges, as that often depends on the funds available to assist incoming students, an unknown when those students first apply.
The report's authors suggest families and students must become more like "savvy consumers" who are able to understand and successfully manipulate the college and financial aid application process to their advantage. The process should also be made less complex, an idea that is already being explored by federal legislation such as the Higher Education Opportunity Act. Finally, families need reliable measures about the educational experience that colleges and universities offer beyond the annual rankings we see in the Princeton Review, for example. According to the report, while the U.S. Department of Education is providing increasingly consistent and accessible indicators, such as graduation rates, this branch of the college-bound decision remains the weakest.

Hobart and William Smith Colleges is looking to give juniors narrowing down their college search choices a more unique brochure experience. More than 20,000 of them will receive 3-D glasses to go along with the school's brochures, a strategy the school describes as both a gimmick and symbolic of what the school is all about.
Viewing things in 3-D has only become more popular thanks to the success of James Cameron's "Avatar." But looking at a brochure is undoubtedly a different experience than sitting in a movie theater with a bucket of popcorn in your lap. The New York Times talked to the school's director of communications, Cathy Williams, this week. She sees it this way: Hobart is looking to change the way students "see the world." The 3-D glasses are symbolic of that idea, and the brochures ask potential applicants to "open your eyes to new possibilities at HWS."
Nearly 10,000 of the recipients requested the catalogs; another 12,000 or so were identified through a College Board search program. (Institutions of higher education are able to purchase lists of students who have scored above a certain level on standardized tests or who have expressed interest in a particular field of study.) Those who receive the brochures don't only get the 3-D experience on paper. They're also then able to view videos of professors explaining the science behind the concept of 3-D.
Colleges have been working extra hard lately to entice potential applicants. Some have revamped their college application packets to resemble credit card offers, now speeding up processing times, waiving application fees, and using language typically used by credit card companies: Advantage Application, Distinctive Candidate Application, and the Candidate's Choice Application, to name a few. More than 100 colleges and universities paid the same marketing company to send out variations of these applications last fall. Some spent more than $1 million on these application campaigns, according to the New York Times.
While their applicant pools have indeed increased thanks to the marketing campaigns, it makes one wonder how colleges find advertising dollars in their budges while tuition and fees continue to increase, schools shutter their "no loans" programs, and colleges struggle with budget deficits. What do you think? Would 3-D glasses included in your college brochure spark your interest in a school more than the glossy materials you usually receive? What other gimmicks have you seen colleges use to get students to apply to those schools?

Today, at 7PM EST, Scholarships.com's own Kevin Ladd will be giving a presentation on the scholarship search, focused primarily on high school juniors. The webcast will be hosted and produced by CollegeWeekLive.com, a site that offers virtual college fairs featuring all sorts of presentations from colleges, financial aid professionals, and much more. There is a College Chat, Student Chat, information on federal aid such as the FAFSA and even video chats.
Today, Kevin's presentation will address scholarships and the importance of beginning your search early, citing scholarships offered throughout a student's high school years as well as the benefit of having familiarized yourself with the financial aid and scholarship search process long before your senior year. In fact, there are some scholarships specifically targeting high school juniors for which you won't qualify if you put off searching for financial aid until your senior year in high school.
The earlier you begin searching for scholarships, the better chance you have of finding the best ones and being awarded free money for college. For more on this and to "virtually" visit some college halls while you are at it, check out CollegeWeekLive.com and don't forget to be there at 7PM Eastern Time to see Kevin's presentation on finding scholarships. If you do miss it today, you can search for it in the College Week Live archives tomorrow and thereafter, but if you catch his live presentation today, you will be able to text any questions you might have.

May 1 is traditionally the day many students submit enrollment deposits to their intended schools and make their college choice official. For colleges will late and rolling admissions, however, now begins the time to woo students into choosing their school for fall.
Despite what you've heard about increased competition and limited space at the most selective institutions (and colleges in California, where the state school system is using wait lists for the first time), space is still available at a number of colleges across the country. A survey released today by the National Association for College Admission Counseling lists those public and private schools, and whether slots available for new freshman and transfer students are limited or more plentiful. The Space Availability Survey is also probably good news for students on wait lists, as it shows there are still options for those who may be rejected from those schools they have been waiting to hear back from. The survey also lists which schools still have housing and financial aid available to incoming students, as both may be limited this late in the game.
For once, it seems, the ball is in the students' courts. Schools that may need to reach deep into their wait lists or that may have lower enrollments overall due to high price tags that may not be as desirable in a tough economy may need to put in a little extra effort getting students interested in their campuses. A recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education described the "sweet and subtle science" of wooing students who have yet to make their final decisions. At Lafayette College, for example, admissions officials spend much of the late spring reaching out to high school seniors and their parents with personalized follow-up letters, e-mails, phone calls, and on-campus events meant to showcase how their school is different than the rest and is more interested in building relationships with new additions to their student body.
At Menlo College, admissions officials don't expect to have their incoming class finalized until the first week of September, according to an article yesterday in The Chronicle, with many of those late registrants coming from overseas and transfer students from across the country. Pennsylvania State University at Schuylkill is about two-thirds of the way to their enrollment goal for their new group of incoming freshmen. At the same time, recruitment officers there are contacting juniors for next year.

An obvious increase in the number of students who submitted plagiarized essays as part of their applications to Pennsylvania State University's business school this year has forced the college to go public about their use of plagiarism detection software.
An article in Inside Higher Ed today described how admissions officials at the college discovered they may have a problem, and how bold students have been getting when it comes to turning in essays lifted from Internet sites and elsewhere. Essay answers on the topic of "principled leadership" as part of the college's M.B.A. program application led admissions officials to discover at least 30 essays that "borrowed" from outside sources without the proper attribution. According to the article, a number of students plagiarized the same article on the term, lifted from a business school association's newsletter.
In the article, the school's admissions director says students have surprisingly only gotten worse at plagiarizing. One year, she said she looked over an application that included an essay lifted in its entirety from another source. The applicant didn't even change fonts before sending in their essay.
According to Inside Higher Ed, a number of schools across the country already use software to detect plagiarism when evaluating students' college applications. (The article mentions that it's typically used by graduate and professional schools that often have multiple essay requirements.) But Penn State is the first to be so vocal about it. Faking one's way into college has been a popular topic lately, thanks to the efforts of former Ivy League student Adam Wheeler, who faked his way into Harvard University and was able to nearly transfer to Stanford University before his deception was finally discovered.
Plagiarism software is more commonly used in the classroom by professors and instructors on high school and college campuses. Being found out typically means at least a failing grade on an assignment, and depending on the school's policy, may mean expulsion as well. So, there's only one way to avoid getting yourself into trouble. Don't do it, even if you're struggling in an essay-heavy course. Don't try buying term papers online, either, as that won't keep you from being detected by the software. (You didn't think you were the first one to use that paper, did you?) If you're concerned about attributions or references, talk to your instructor about properly citing sources. And if you need help on where to start with your application essay, check out our tips on how to do so.

American University has expanded its "test-optional" application policy, giving all students who apply to the school before Nov. 1 the option of choosing whether or not to submit their ACT or SAT scores as part of their applications. The college had up to this point only allowed early-decision candidates to opt out of providing standardized test scores.
Although the early-decision deadline is later—Nov. 15—being accepted by a college early typically means you need to decide right then and there whether you'll accept admission to that college or go elsewhere. Opening up the policy to even those regular decision students will give more students the power to decide what they'd like to include in their applications to the school. Those students who do take advantage of the policy and submit their applications early won't necessarily hear back about whether they've been accepted to the school early; they'll be notified by the regular April 1 deadline.
According to an article yesterday in The Chronicle of Higher Education, a good number of even the early-decision candidates chose not to submit their standardized test scores last fall. Of the 538 early-decision applicants the school received, which in itself was an increase of about 33 percent over the previous year, 191 did not submit test scores, according to The Chronicle. While administrators said it takes longer to review applications that don't include the test scores, giving students who may not do as well on their standardized tests but who excel elsewhere an opportunity for admission is worth it. Admissions officials now pay more attention to the kinds of courses students took, including AP classes and other college-level work.
Standardized testing has been criticized for years, with the National Association for College Admission Counseling going so far as to say the practice should end altogether in favor of a more holistic application process. American University isn't the only college to go test-optional in recent years, either. Saint Michael's College in Vermont no longer requires that potential new students submit SAT scores as part of their application process. The school reasons that some students are better test-takers than others, and that there are other ways to evaluate applicants instead. Students there may still choose to submit either their ACT or SAT scores if they feel it will help their applications.

I used to hate Hate HATE when my brother was allowed to do something and I wasn't because he was a boy and I was a girl. I'd stomp and sigh and eventually find something better to do but the sting of that bias stuck with me for a while. I (and I'm sure my parents) would shudder to think of my reaction had I been denied admission to the college of my choice when another candidate got in based on any other reason than merit.
Though college officials claim their preference toward alumni children is modest at best, a new book states the opposite. In Affirmative Action for the Rich: Legacy Preferences in College Admissions, editor Richard D. Kahlenberg calls for a reexamination and elimination of alumni preferences now; as an advocate for class-based as opposed to race-based affirmative action, Kahlenberg also argues that with the elimination of affirmative action in several states (a shift he predicts will spread), existing biases make it "hard to justify alumni preferences when you have gotten rid of help for minorities." One section of the book, which is a collection of research articles by scholars, journalists and lawyers, even details how much the advantage of being an alumni child has increased in the last 20 years (Princeton admitted 41.7 percent of legacy applicants in 2009 – 4.5 times the rate for non-legacies – while the legacy admit rate was only 2.8 times the rate in 1992) though they are typically are "average" academically and "under-perform" those with similar demographic backgrounds who did not receive alumni admissions preferences; there is also additional assistance for white applicants, athletes and the children of wealthy donors. Inside Higher Ed delves deeper here.
I haven't read the book so therefore I cannot choose a side just yet, but I have to say the article has me intrigued. Getting into college (not to mention finding the money to pay for it) is competitive enough so why turn it into a steeplechase rather than the marathon it already is?

Dr. Seuss had only one Grinch that stole Christmas but Northeast Philadelphia has at least two of them, according to Philadelphia police.
A bumbling robber with a pocket knife attempted and failed to hold up a couple of Northeast Philadelphia businesses on Mischief Night, but he ended up with a jar of loose change and small bills for his troubles. Police hope that surveillance video from the two targeted businesses will help them generate leads on the identity of the unknown bandit.
Two armed robbers held up a busy late-night eatery in Mayfair early last Friday. The heist occurred at about 1:45 a.m. at the Red Robin Diner, 6330 Frankford Ave., when two unknown men entered the business, including one with a gun and a bandana over his face. The gunman approached an employee and demanded money, while the other crook served mostly as a lookout, police said.

Deerfield residents take their picnic indoors
Despite heavy rains Friday, residents at The Deerfield senior living complex in New Richmond enjoyed the 10th annual Marilyn Everson summer picnic celebration.
At the last minute, the picnic, which is usually held at Everson's home in New Richmond, was moved inside. The attendees still enjoyed a lunch of picnic food, topped off by Everson's favorite fresh raspberry desert.
Everson started her picnic in 2001 and has kept it up ever since.
