The next few pages should provide you with all the information you need to get the most from your financial situation and help ensure you can attend the university you want.
Of course, if you want more assurance, you can always contact us.
Merit vs. Need
Merit vs. Need
Like many colleges and universities, we distinguish between two types of financial assistance: support based on merit and support based on need. Merit-based assistance usually takes the form of scholarships, while need-based aid is typically awarded as grants, loans, work study, etc.
The College of Arts, Sciences and Engineering awards all merit-based scholarships. Questions about merit-based scholarships should be addressed to the Office of Admissions. The Financial Aid Office evaluates eligibility for need-based assistance and sends award notices. A financial aid offer from the University often includes both types of aid.
Merit-based aid is automatically reapplied to your financial package each year. However, since your family's financial situation will likely change from year to year, you must reapply for need-based aid each year.
You Should Also Know…
- Every application is individually reviewed so that factors such as assets, family size, and number in college are considered, in addition to the family income.
- We distribute merit-based aid regardless of a family's demonstrated financial need.
- Like most private universities, the University uses an Institutional Methodology (IM) to calculate an expected family contribution (EFC). This means the EFC at Rochester will be different from that provided by other sources, depending on each family's individual circumstances.
- Students who complete all application materials on time and are admitted to the University will receive a financial aid award letter shortly after their notification of admission. Late applicants may not receive their award letter until after the May 1 deposit deadline, so it's important to keep track of deadlines.
Merit Scholarships
Merit Scholarships (Merit-Based Aid)
The University of Rochester awards merit-based scholarships to freshman and transfer students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and potential, regardless of financial circumstances. Merit scholarship amounts range from $2,000 per year to full tuition.
All admitted undergraduate applicants to the College are considered for merit scholarships. Merit scholarships are awarded to students during the admission process and renewed annually if satisfactory academic performance and full time status are maintained. Students are eligible to receive only one scholarship. Students who receive annual scholarships of $15,000 or more have a GPA requirement of 3.0.
If you qualify for University of Rochester tuition benefits:
If at least one of your parents is an employee of the University of Rochester, you may be eligible for dependent child tuition benefits. Since both the benefit and scholarship funds can help with the costs of tuition only, you may be eligible to receive a combination of tuition benefit and scholarship funds that can approach or match, but not exceed, the cost of tuition. It is our policy that tuition benefits must be applied to your bill before merit scholarships. University of Rochester tuition benefits and scholarship funds cannot be applied to non-tuition related expenses, e.g. housing and dining services. Read more information on tuition benefits.

Jessica Cohen '15
Rush Rhees Scholarship
Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA
Major: Neuroscience
Clusters: Psychology and Music
Activities: Ski Club; BCS Undergraduate Council
Why did you choose the University of Rochester? "Rochester is a very strong school academically, but the main feature that stood out to me was the cluster system. Not having to design my schedule around some unwanted history credit and instead being able to take an interesting psych class instead is great. Additionally, I like the size of the school — it's small enough to provide a much more personal feel than a campus of 40,000 students, but not so small as to be claustrophobic. Plus, the campus is beautiful in the spring when the cherry blossom trees start to bloom."
What do you think best prepared you for life at the University of Rochester? "Taking AP and IB courses. When teachers and counselors say that classes in college are different than they are in high school, they're telling the truth. There may be less homework in college, but having effective study skills is really important in order to balance success in class and fun outside of it (especially in the sciences). AP and IB classes helped me to develop the basis for these skills."
When you applied for admission, what accomplishments did you hope would be recognized by the Office of Admissions? "Musically, I was proud to be the leader of my section in band and to be the manager of the musical's pit my senior year. Academically, I maintained a 5.0 (out of 5.0) throughout high school and was one of the valedictorians of my class. I had completed the National Novel Writing Month challenge (50,000-word novel in 30 days) four times by the time I started applying. These were all accomplishments I'd worked hard for, and I hoped I'd communicated that effectively to Admissions." [/well]

Rochester Early Collegiate Scholarship
Hometown: Rochester, NY
Major: Neuroscience with a possible minor in Legal Studies
Activities: Off Broadway On Campus, Badminton Club, and the Rising Leader Program
What do you think best prepared you for life at University of Rochester? "Without a doubt in my mind I would say participating in the Pre-College Programs over the summer definitely prepared me for my life at the University of Rochester. I did Pre-College Programs all four summers of my high school years. Through participating in this program, I gained valuable skills that made me more curious, collaborative, sociable, and open-minded. The people, the environment, and the knowledge all really inspire you to learn more and to do more. I recommend this to any student who wants to experience something new and fun over the summer, who wishes to experience a little taste of the profession they are interested in, or who just wants to get the feel of a college campus!"
What are your future plans at UR? "My future plans are to hopefully study abroad my junior year in perhaps Belgium or England. I am also hoping to start doing research in the field of Neuroscience in my sophomore year. In addition to this, I would love to become a Pre-College counselor for the summer of 2015 and also take part in the Take 5 program and major in either Music, Psychology, or English." [/well]

FIRST Robotics Scholarship
Hometown: Grand Junction, CO
Major: Optical Engineering
Activities: FIRST Robotics, FIRST LEGO League, Optical Society of America, UR Robotics Club
Why did you choose the University of Rochester? "I originally found out about the U of R as a result of my participation in FIRST Robotics. The University of Rochester offers one of the most generous scholarships available to FIRST students, and receiving it made college much more affordable to me. When I visited campus, the faculty and staff were the most welcoming and accommodating I'd ever met at any school: they gave me an impromptu tour of the Optics labs after I'd stopped into a faculty member's office on a whim, and I was enamored of the campus as soon as I took my first tour."
When you applied for admission, what accomplishments did you hope would be recognized by the Office of Admissions? "In my application, I tried to stress that rather than being a "jack of all trades," I'd tried to focus instead on accomplishing great things in a few different activities. I focused on the fact that I was a Dean's List finalist in FIRST Robotics, an IB Candidate, and a leader in my local community. I hoped that these qualities would show that I really gave my all in what I attempted. I hoped that these qualities would provide an accurate reflection of who I was, and that Admissions could then decide if I was a good fit for the U of R." [/well]
FIRST Robotics Scholarship
Students who participate on a FIRST team and have an excellent academic record, make ideal additions to campus.

Jesse Moore Urban League Scholarship
Hometown: Cleveland Heights, OH
Major: English
Minor: Movement Studies
Clusters: Brain and Cognitive Sciences; History
Activities: Phi Sigma Sigma sorority, Volunteer Coordinator for ArtAwake
What do you think best prepared you for life at University of Rochester? "I was homeschooled from third–ninth grade, so I've always had a fluid definition of "learning" and "education." During my junior and senior year of high school I took a few classes at a local university for both high school and college credit. It was a great opportunity for me to see the level at which I was expected to work in college, but also to understand that learning is more of a personal experience and less of a requirement."
What unique opportunities have you taken advantage of at UR? "I was lucky enough to be elected as Volunteer Coordinator for ArtAwake and it was a great experience. A group of about 12 students locate an abandoned space in the city of Rochester and use it to host a one-day art and music festival in the spring. This year it was held at the former Rohrbach's Brewery building with about 14 bands playing throughout the day and over 200 pieces of art from students and residents of Rochester. It's one of the many UR-sponsored events that I think everyone should experience." [/well]

Major: Financial Economics
Minor/Clusters: Business
Activities: I am in the Theta Chi fraternity and I was a staff writer for the campus times. In addition, this year I plan to be involved with Colleges Against Cancer as well as the Finance and Economics Council.
When you applied for admission, what accomplishments did you hope would be recognized by the Office of Admissions? "I really wanted Admissions to notice I care for my community, as well as others outside of it. Throughout high school I participated in many different services to help others. These include working in the preschool at my high school, coaching baseball and basketball, Invisible Children, and working with Native Americans in Montana. I felt these activities defined me as a person, and I was glad that Admissions was able to notice them."
What piece of advice would you give to a prospective student interested in the University of Rochester? "Anyone interested in the University should try to stay overnight with a current Rochester student. For me, this was the main way I came to my choice. I was able to meet all kinds of people and get a feel for how the school is run behind the scenes. In addition, this allowed me to ask the students many questions, which helped me better understand the school." [/well]

What do you think best prepared you for life at the University of Rochester?

While professor/student relationships are very different in a university setting, it is important to figure out your learning style and work to your strengths in order to maximize success."
Why did you choose the University of Rochester? "I chose the University of Rochester because I like the size of the school and I like the programs that it offers.

Major: Chemical Engineering
Activities: Delta Upsilon fraternity, business manager for the American Institute of Chemical Engineering and STEM Initiative, building manager for Wilson Commons
Why did you choose the University of Rochester? "The moment that I visited the U of R, I instantly knew that I belong here. It's a bit cliché, given how many college students say that in their testimony of their future Alma Mater, but it is very true. The university combines the beauty of the rustic scenery and the vivacity of an urban city. Furthermore, the lack of general education requirements told me that the University wants me to pursue whichever subject I feel most passionate about."
What was your favorite class in high school, and why? "My favorite class in high school was history. Like the saying "to move forward, we must look backward," I learned that lessons in history could be applied in the future as well. I love the fact that one historical event does not happen independently; instead, it happens by the repercussion of many other events that preceded it."
What do you think best prepared you for life at the University of Rochester? "My internship at a polymer research lab helped prepare me for life at U of R. During my time there, I learned that I am really interested in that type of research and that allowed me to foresee myself as a future engineering student."[/well]

These funds are limited and are awarded on the basis of your calculated need. Detailed information on the terms of these loans is sent under separate cover, with interest rates and repayment terms detailed.
Institutional Employment
Campus employment is not limited to the Federal Work-Study Program. Many students without FWS eligibility work in dozens of different departments on campus.
Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan
The Direct loan program also offers an unsubsidized loan for students whose financial need is met through other resources (merit aid, family contribution, etc.). The interest on this low-interest educational loan accrues while the student is in school. The maximum yearly limit is determined by the Department of Education.
Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
The PLUS program allows parents to borrow up to the cost of education minus any other financial aid offered. This loan offers an annual variable interest rate, and repayment begins 60 days after the second disbursement of the loan. Interested parents can access the online application.

No. Every application is individually reviewed so that factors such as assets, family size, and number in college are considered, in addition to the family income.
Undergraduates in the College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering must achieve a specified cumulative GPA and accumulate a specific number of credit hours at the end of each semester to continue receiving financial aid. These requirements are outlined in the Academic Standing Policy – Satisfactory Academic Progress.
Students who complete all application materials on time and are admitted to the University will receive a financial aid email notification shortly after their notification of admission. Every effort is made to ensure that all students receive their financial aid award information prior to the May 1 deposit deadline. However, late applicants may need to make a deposit decision prior to receiving an award.
Students who do not receive financial aid notifications typically have not filed all of the materials requested by the Financial Aid Office. Check to make sure you have completed the CSS PROFILE and the FAFSA and that you included the University on the list of schools to receive the information. If you have any concerns about your financial aid application, contact the Financial Aid Office.
If your family has concerns about contributing the portion of the cost not covered by financial aid, we encourage you to contact the Financial Aid Office so that we may discuss the situation with you. Every situation is unique, so we will work with you to determine what financing options are available to assist your family. In all cases, a written appeal detailing your special circumstances and providing appropriate documentation will be required in order for a further review of your file to take place.
No. You may compete for scholarships regardless of your family's demonstrated financial need.
How do scholarships that I receive from outside the University of Rochester affect my financial package?
The amount of the outside scholarships received will reduce the work-study and loan awards before reducing university need-based grants. The combination of outside awards and Rochester-packaged awards may not exceed a student's determined institutional need or estimated cost of attendance.
Application requirements and notification procedures differ based on the term for which you are seeking admission. For the most up-to-date information, please contact our office. There are some merit scholarships that are unique to transfer students. Transfer students are also subject to different general guidelines, such as loan levels and the number of semesters they may receive institutional funding. Transfer students only receive university aid until the graduation date that was determined at the time of admission.

NEA, partner organizations provide $400,000 for teacher training in science, technology, engineering, math
NORTHGLENN, Colo. – Colorado is the first state to receive a challenge grant from the National Education Association and matching-fund partners to train more teachers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia made the announcement today at Northglenn High School, which is transitioning into a STEM school to emphasize student learning in subjects projected to drive many 21st-century careers.
The NEA will provide $200,000 to the New Jersey Center for Teaching and Learning (NJCTL) for teacher training and certification, technology and support to expand its math and science program in Colorado. The NEA's challenge grant is being matched by grants from the Morgridge Family Foundation ($150,000) and Xcel Energy ($50,000).
The NEA's goal is to raise $1.5 million in efforts to spread the NJCTL teacher training model to many states. The Center cultivates teachers who are highly qualified and skilled educators to fill science and math teacher shortages, and has added more than 130 new physics and chemistry teachers in New Jersey since 2009.
Quotes from the participating organizations:
(watch video of remarks by Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia and CEA President Kerrie Dallman on CEA's YouTube channel)
On the national front, President Obama wants to add 100,000 highly qualified and skilled educators to better prepare students in the STEM subjects that are expected to be critical in 2.7 million new jobs over the next five years.

Giving the Gift of LifeFor many, organ donation is an opportunity to turn tragedy into life. Choosing organ donation often brings a sense of peace to the loved ones of someone who dies suddenly.This was the case for the Warder family when 17-year old Tristen passed away at Flagstaff Medical Center last year surrounded by his parents, family and friends. Several hours before, the family had decided to donate his organs, knowing they could save lives. Tristen's heart saved the life of a Phoenix man; his liver and a kidney saved the life of a Tucson man; and his eyes allowed an 11-year-old girl who had been born blind to see.Samara "Sam" Griffin, an FMC intensive care nurse, was with the Warders during their final journey with Tristen. As a certified donor nurse, Sam is trained to talk with families about the donation process and help them make the right decision for their loved one and themselves regarding organand tissue donation."Sometimes we know a patient can't survive their injuries or illness," Sam said. "When this is the case, my role is to provide care and medical support to the patient and family through the end of life process. It is important for the patient to die with dignity and for their loved ones to be able togrieve and make the end-of-life decisions that are best for them. Some chose organ donation, some do not. There is no right or wrong; either way we are here to support their decisions." Sam exemplifies FMC's commitment to supporting patients and their families through difficult times. Recently, Donor Network of Arizona recognized Sam for her outstanding work with families facing decisions about organ and tissue donations. She was given the Arizona 2012 Outstanding Nurse award.Additionally, Donor Network recognized Michael Reidy, M.D., with the Outstanding Physician award and Marvin Cody, Navajo Translator, with the Outstanding Family Support award for theirwork with families.In 2011, 168 organ donors in Arizona gave life to 478 people. Today, more than 116,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, with more than 2,300 people in Arizona on the organ donation waiting list.
Arizonans can sign up as registered organ and tissue donors when they apply or renew their driver's license or ID at the Motor Vehicle Division, online at DonateLifeAZ.org or by calling 1-800-94-DONOR.

"What lies here is sure to resurrect excitement for this hit adventure game."
In response to The Walking Dead: Season 1's tremendous success, Telltale Games has opted to release an episode of DLC content prior to Season 2 titled "The Walking Dead: 400 Days." I had the opportunity to sit in on a playthrough of one of the DLC's scenarios and speak with the team. What lies here is sure to resurrect excitement for this hit adventure game.
The DLC is one episode with five scenarios that follow five new characters. Telltale's representative hinted that these characters may turn up in Season 2, though nothing is confirmed. However, decisions made in Season 1 influence 400 Days, and choices in 400 Days will influence Season 2, ensuring satisfying continuity across the franchise and further personalizing each player's unique story.
Based on the menu screen during my visit, the five characters appear to be Russell, Shel, Wyatt, Bonnie, and Vincent, whose scenario we explored. As the name implies, 400 Days tracks the story of each character anywhere from day 1 to day 400 after the outbreak. The stories seem to take place near a certain truck stop on a Georgia highway that players may remember from the events of Season 1. Telltale's representative suggested that these episodes may intertwine in some respect, and several references to the first season will be subtly hinted at throughout the DLC.
Vincent's story begins in a city; we see him pointing a gun at someone pleading for mercy. Our lead appears distressed and eventually pulls the trigger. As he tries to escape, he hears sirens in the streets, and we see him next in an orange jumpsuit, shackled to fellow inmates on a prison bus. Similar to experiences in Season 1, background chatter can be heard during downtimes in dialogue and during dialogue, further adding to the immersive experience. Each choice-prompt includes three options with a much slower timer, during which Vincent's companions chatter back and forth. Also in parallel to Season 1, the exchanges on the prison bus represent what one might expect on a prison bus, such as: "Someone open a window!" and then, "It's a prison bus, asshole." The writer hasn't pulled any punches, meaning players can expect an authentic experience with "real" dialogue.
The implication here is that the outbreak has yet to happen, though as the story continues, zed-heads make their debut. Given the unique situation presented, how Vincent and his companions deal with the outbreak while chained to their seats and each other stimulates the intrigue and tension familiar to fans of this award-winning series. Rest assured, difficult choices will need to be made. Of course, be careful what you say, because the game continues to mark points at which others notice what you communicate.
Telltale communicated during the Q&A that a previously purchased season pass will not offer access to the DLC, though the price is a modest $4.99. Players should expect two to three hours of content, though each scenario varies in length. Also of note, the scenarios are written by different authors, and Robert Kirkman has celebrated them with praise and been supportive of their efforts.
The impetus behind 400 Days seems to be in part due to a desire to offer insight into Kirkman's world beyond that of Grimes and Clementine, though the characters in the DLC do not appear in the comic book whatsoever. When asked if the characters in 400 Days will appear in Season 2, Telltale's representative smirked and stated that anything is possible.
Telltale seems to put a premium on responding to player feedback, which is one of the strengths of releasing episodic games; this, too, was communicated as one of the perks of releasing DLC content before Season 2. With a release planned for July on all previous platforms and a Vita release of the entire game along with 400 Days, Telltale has placed an oasis amidst the drought of Walking Dead content, making sure fans won't forget what earned Season 1 so many awards. Though, with such unique storytelling and style, how can we truly forget?

Jimmy Smits, Kathy Bates Series Picked Up by NBC; 'Mercy,' 'Trauma' Canceled
Among the dramas headed to the Peacock net is 'The Cape,' starring 'ER's' David Lyons as a policeman who is framed for a series of murders and is forced to go into hiding. Determined to be reunited with his family, Lyons' character becomes his son's favorite superhero ('The Cape') and quickly "takes the law into his own hands."
Meanwhile, 'West Wing' alum Jimmy Smits will return to the network in the drama 'Outlaw,' about a Supreme Court justice who quits his job to go work for the little man.
Rounding out the list of dramas is the latest legal series from David E. Kelley ('The Practice'; 'Ally McBeal'), 'Harry's Law.' The show stars Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates as a lawyer who unexpectedly starts her own firm with characters portrayed by Brittany Snow and Ben Chaplin.
On the cancellation front, NBC will part ways with both 'Mercy' and 'Trauma' after one season, according to the Ausiello Files. 'Trauma' was previously canceled last October, before NBC quickly had a change of heart. Now, though, its cancellation appears to be official.
As for comedies, NBC has picked up 'Friends With Benefits,' from 'Arrested Development's' Brian Grazer. 'Party Down's' Ryan Hansen and 'One Tree Hill's' Danneel Harris star in the laffer, about two friends who hook up as they await the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Right.
As we previously reported, 'Chuck' has officially been renewed for a fourth season.

Hartford Speedway will continue to pay $1500 to WIN & $200 to START for the remainder of the 2015 race season in the UMP Late Models. We hope that the Late Model racer community will continue to grow at Hartford and we reach our weekly goal of at least 15 cars, but rest assured that no matter the car count Hartford Speedway is committed to the Late Model payout for the entirety of the 2015 season.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact Tim Dibble at 269-313-9132.

Jumping out to a lead of 17-2 in a frentic first quarter, the boys of Pinnacle Junior High School defeated Canyon View 56-39 to claim the 2010 Castle Valley Athletic Association JV Basketball Tournament championship.
The contest was played at Mont Harmon Junior High on Wednesday, Feb. 24 before hundreds of racous fans cheering support for both sides.
"Wyatt Howard led the way for our defense and played awesome in the game," Coach Bowen said.
After two quarters the Panther's had more than doubled Canyon View's score going to the locker room ahead 39-18. According to Bowen many players executed key roles including Jake Hardy who had an excellent game and scored 17 points. Chris Reynolds posted 12, Wyatt Howard added eight in addition to his great defense.
Chris Smith and Freston Smith added six apiece. Cody Sanchez added four leading to the impressive win. "I'm so proud of these kids this is the first time Pinnacle has a junior high title," Bowen added.

Does anyone know what teams we are scheduled to play for our out-of-conference games in 2007? We're obviously playing Iowa, but are we playing Toledo again?
I noticed that Nebraska and Virginia Tech signed an agreement to play home and home games, and I'd like ISU to start scheduling some bigger name teams to play. Iowa is a big game, but UNLV and UNI sure aren't.
Kent State, Iowa, UNI & Toledo
Not surprising... :-
I guess it doesn't really bother me since we aren't a national powerhouse yet that is questioned because we schedule cupcakes. The fact is, is that some of these teams that we schedule as "cupcakes" turn out to give us good games! (See Illinois State, Army 2005). It won't really bother me until we don't have to worry about teams like Kansas and Baylor beating us...

UNI was runner-up, but close. Even though they did make it to the championship game, being 1-AA will be looked at as a cupcake game no matter what. cstrunk is probably right, we shouldn't be looking at bigger games until we can prove that the little teams aren't a problem for us anymore. Maybe we can start scheduling games that will help recruiting though. Beating UNI won't help us at all, but playing teams like UCF, USF, Rice, or Houston would give us exposure in some big recruiting states.
Last year, our youth and inexperience almost cost us the Western Illinois and Army games. This fall, ISU will field a senior/junior dominated team and should be read to play at a high level early on. Playing Toledo and UNI will force the team to crank it up from the gitgo. Playing a 12 game season with no real cupcake games means the coaching staff will have give game experience to the second stringers so they can be available when the injuries take out starters by midseason.
Skldany has always been up to the task with rebuilding defenses, but he's got a hell of a task ahead of him.
As far as the first post in this thread, especially with this part of the South rotation, I'll gladly feast on cupcakes. I'd rather go 3-1 with 3 easy games and Iowa than 1-3 with one easy game. We aren't good enough to the point where we need to count on getting 5-6 conference wins to get bowl eligible. Toledo would probably be as tough as I'd go. That's just me, though.
I think some people are misinterpreting what I meant about cupcakes. Let me try to clear this up.
I don't necessarily think that Toledo and UNI are cupcakes, but let's be real here, they are not considered outstanding programs. This does not mean that they aren't good, but when people hear Iowa State beating Toledo or UNI, they pay no attention to it at all... but if they hear Iowa State beating a school like UCLA then they take notice. UCLA (or ANY well-known team) wouldn't even have to be that good, as long as they have good history and are a well-known team.
So yeah, we are not necessarily scheduling cupcakes. We are playing some very respectable teams in OUR eyes. But to the rest of the country? They don't care about teams like UNI or Toledo, or Army or Western Illinois or whatever. I would rather us play a team like Illinois or Arizona, sure they may not be that great, but they are major schools with, at different times, major programs. People would take more notice.
I also agree that we shouldn't be blamed for scheduling cupcakes, as right now it's good for our program. And with a schedule like ours this season (with OU, Texas, TT, Iowa) cupcakes are needed!
Yup, I agree. It's just at this point, any win is better than a loss to a big school, unless it was like Florida State, 2002. Our strength of schedule shouldn't really matter until we enter BCS conversation (which hopefully is soon enough). :)
I thought we were to go to UNLV in September of 07. What happened to that game? I was looking forward to a great road trip? Did I miss something?
I believe it will be in 08
Thanks! I will look forward to 08 then. I was sure I saw in for 07 once. But this will give me another year to look forward to it.
I don't think much good could come from playing a more difficult out of conference schedule. The kids would be beat up more going into conference play, and we would lose more games and qualify for less bowls. One good team (Iowa) is enough given that we are in the Big XII.
the unlv game is this year
ram that kock in.

I'm pretty sure they were talking about the game @ UNLV since he was looking forward to a nice road trip. We play UNLV at home this year.

I guess you are also bothered that a minority like Rubio dares school his "betters", like Kerry, the Senator from France.

Obama's Timidity on Syria: Lessons from a Fiasco

We Know Everything About Celebrity Scientologists, But Nothing About Scientology
January 18, 2013
Most new religions, like most new businesses, die a quick crib death. Scientology, however, is not about to disappear. Scholars put the number of adherents in this country at about 25,000—a far cry from the millions of members its leaders claim, but hardly insignificant for a group that was founded about 50 years ago. Despite all its bad press, the allegations that it terrorizes its critics, its cult-like secrecy and hounding of apostates, and its very weird science-fiction cosmogony, it has become a part of the fabric of communities across the country.
The Big GOP Health Care Idea
February 17, 2010
The single most popular health care idea emanating from the right is to allow Americans to purchase health insurance across state lines. What a stupid idea, making people buy insurance only within their own state! Here's fabulist Betsy McCaughey making the case in a Wall Street Journal op-ed: Both parties should agree to liberate consumers to buy insurance outside their own state. A healthy 25-year-old New Yorker could cut his costs by two-thirds if permitted to shop on e-healthinsurance.com and buy coverage in another state. Now, think about this for a minute.

If you're trying to figure out why President Barack Obama has lately appeared to be over-inflating that birdcage he calls a chest, U.S. aerial drones executed wanted terrorist and expatriate American Anwar al-Awlaki, along with his similarly American-by-birth sidekick, Samir Khan, last week. Therefore, Obama gets to walk around in his John Wayne shoes for a bit.
Let me be clear: I oppose virtually everything Obama planned to do, has done and/or will do during his four years in the White House. But the executions of al-Awlaki and Khan are not on the list. I know my kill-'em-where-you-find-'em attitude gets me sideways with some folks, including Bob Livingston and Congressman Ron Paul.
We shouldn't be in the business of whacking people like we were in Tony Soprano's gang and our victims were wearing wires in the back room at Satriale's. But occasionally, the role America should play and the role America must play are not the same role.
Sure, it would be easier to simply let these animals continue spouting off about jihad in Jihadi-stan (Yemen, in this case). Consider it: Jihadi-stan sucks. It's dirty, the food is terrible and the women are all dressed like beekeepers. You can't tell if that's hot Fatima or that hook-nosed Ayesha walking down the (dirt) street; and even if you could, walking around dressed like beekeepers in 110 degree heat all day makes them both smell like hamsters.
The problem is that al-Awlaki was not play-acting at terrorism. Al-Awlaki exhorted his followers to kill what he calls "infidels" and you call "the Nelsons from two houses down." And punching his ticket hardly lowers the intellectual temperature in the human room. It's not as if, given enough time, he was going to abandon his holy war against the infidel crusaders and concentrate on that cure for cancer he dreamed about as a junior jihadist.
For those of you who object to Obama trying on his big-boy shoes after al-Awlaki's execution, that's an unfortunate door-prize you keep when you win a Presidential election. The military scores the touchdown, and the President gets to spike the ball. George W. Bush did it, George H.W. Bush did it, Ronald Reagan did it and even Bill Clinton did it — although Monica Lewinsky helped. Jimmy Carter never did it; but, as we found out later, he was rooting for the other team.
I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with sticking Islamofascists to a bulletin board like human thumbtacks — no matter which country they call home. Does it violate Yemeni sovereignty? Possibly, but ours is more important. I will concede that that sounds jingoistic; but from time to time, it's perfectly reasonable to remember that the United States is better. They want to kill us because we live by ideals which are anathematic to them: free elections (unless ACORN is involved), cold beer and letting women drive (hey, maybe… nope — my mom will probably read this). And they have proven that — given time and some luck — they can do it. We, in turn, kill them because they're planning to kill us.
However, what Obama failed to learn and his supporters will never acknowledge: If you want to dine on the spoils of war, you must use the utensils of death. Suddenly, the same people who spent the eight years of the Bush Administration decrying the idea of American troops even mildly inconveniencing Islamofascists have become the most hawkish people since Gen. Douglas MacArthur asked for permission to nuke China. The same doves who wanted a public trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed are now channeling their inner Rambo over the executions of al-Awlaki and Khan. Barack Obama the candidate deplored secretive actions against Islamofascists. Barack Obama the President demands credit and respect for ordering them. Even some of their fellow travelers are compelled to recognize such blatant hypocrisy. On Sunday's broadcast of the no-longer-compelling Meet the Press, Democratic Party sock puppet E.J. Dionne Jr. wandered off-script: "You've got to be honest and say what would liberals say if George Bush had done this?"
I do believe we already know the answer to that one.

GUTHRIE — As singer-songwriter Willy Mason sang to thousands of sweaty but appreciative fans on a huge stage at Cottonwood Flats in downtown Guthrie on Friday night, the band that organized the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover, Mumford & Sons, was in a tent backstage, quietly making the name of their touring festival mean something to thousands of Oklahomans.
In Guthrie, a generous showing
No photographs were allowed as Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane presented a check for $109,000 to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma — the proceeds from the first 1,000 tickets sold during the second wave of tickets released for the two-day festival. It was a gentlemanly gesture that, according to representatives from the Food Bank, will provide up to 500,000 meals for Oklahomans affected by the May tornadoes that hit Moore, Shawnee, Carney and other Oklahoma towns.
"They are probably the nicest guys I've met in my entire life," said Angie Gaines, director of marketing at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. "They are very much genuine people who want to help out. They kept saying to us, 'Thank you for what you do at the Food Bank,' and it's wonderful to meet a group of musicians who want to give back and want to help the community. To help Oklahoma."
David Fitzgerald of DCF Concerts, the Oklahoma City-based promoter for the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover, said the donation was made possible after DCF put an additional 10,000 tickets on sale after the initial 25,000 tickets sold out in February. A slight change in the stage positioning made it possible to sell 35,000 total tickets and make the donation possible.
"The tickets were $109 apiece, and so now they are presenting a check for $109,000."
The donation was in keeping with the general tone of Gentlemen of the Road, a festival in which Mumford & Sons, Mason, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Alabama Shakes, Justin Townes Earle, Haim and other acts partner with the towns they visit, creating opportunities for cities like Guthrie to raise significant tax revenues from the events.

SAVANNAH — The Georgia Gwinnett men's soccer team used a second-half score Sunday from Berkmar grad Martin Lugo to top the Savannah College of Art and Design 1-0, capturing the SCAD Tournament on the Bees' home field outside Savannah.
The Grizzlies (3-0-1) remain undefeated after two weekend wins, their first road games of the season.
Mill Creek grad Zach Mruk played a ball through to Lugo that the freshman forward buried midway through the second half Sunday to produce the deciding score.
Goalkeeper Greg Hartley turned away the Bees' attempts to tie throughout the final minutes to preserve the victory.
"It was a great win by our boys today," said GGC head coach Steve DeCou. "SCAD is a high-quality opponent and to go to their field and win is an accomplishment."
The Bees (1-3) had just beaten 16th-ranked William Carey on Saturday by two goals.
"Winning our first two road matches made for a great weekend," DeCou added. "Since we are unable to play in postseason competition, it is nice to be able to win a trophy this year."
As a first-year member in the NAIA, the Grizzlies are not eligible to compete in postseason play.
GGC returns home to host Bob Jones University on Saturday at the Grizzly Soccer Field at 2 p.m.
