Very long article, but one of the better first-hand-accounts I've read. This guy covers ALL the bases.
I support this guy 100%. I'd like nothing more than everyone defaulting on student loan debt. And that includes Ms Freud, who still has $30k left to pay. (But it would be a cold day in hell .. as she is very responsible.)
First, it would cleary help crash the system. Burn this mutherfucka down … the sooner the better … there is no other solution.
Second, because the guy wrote this; —- "If the numbers seem fuzzy it's because my student loans, private and federal, have been sold and resold and serviced and managed and payments lost and interest rates changed so many times that it's become impossible for me to track." ——– What a scam … been there, done that!!
I got divorced. Part of the settlement was that I got stuck with the Office Max credit card, about $1,500. I had a huge amount of bills, way more than the monthly income, so I had to decide whether to pay "Peter or Paul". I let the Office Max bill slide, although I had every intention of paying it off. Well Office Max sold off the debt. I get a call (and letter) from the new owner of the debt …. it's now about $1,900. (Even though they probably purchased the debt for $700, or less.). They were willing to drop maybe $100 bucks, but no more. I told them they can go fuck themselves Fast foward …….. the debt was sold many more times, accumulating more and more penalties, fines, charges, and other bullshit …. eventually reaching around $8,000. They never got a dime from me. Somebody won. Somebody lost …. and it wasn't me.

"Hello, My Name is Stevie and I'm a Student Loan Deadbeat"
By Stevie Diogenes
I am a Student Loan Deadbeat. This is a story of how I accumulated nearly $200,000 of student loan debt, escaped the illusion of debtor's prison, and manage to get by in spite of crushing debt. I hope this serves as a guide for others who are struggling with overwhelming student loan debt, and helps them see that there is life after default.
I expect to be mocked and ridiculed by libertarians, those sanctimonious Randian cheerleaders who pepper their rants with the phrase personal responsibility while bragging about working 20 hours a day at 5 different jobs to pay their student loan debt and validate a rigged system.
And I expect to get death threats from tea party plebians who will grunt, in a nonsensical manner, something about me being a taker and mumble the afterthought, "if ya couldn't afford schoolin', maybe ya shoudda got yerself a job, ya damn libbrul."
I know I'll hear from right wing conservatives who believe that I got myself into this mess and, because other people in my situation paid their extortionists for freedom, I must do so as well, or starve and sleep on the street as punishment.
And I'll get the certain condemnation from Christians who will judge me for not obeying my masters; those brilliant Cruzian elitists who think Jesus preached capitalism and died for the sins of the wealthy.
But I write my story anyway, in spite of the risk of ridicule and death threats and judgment. I write my story because today, in America, lives are being ruined by a rigged student loan system. Hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens just like me are struggling with student loan debt they cannot pay. Hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens just like me are in default. This is America's shameful little secret, and it must be exposed.
They tell me my total student loan debt is approximately $185,000 and increasing everyday, with about $90,000 in default. I've carried some of this debt since 1986; I know I've paid approximately $40,000 over the years, and they tell me I owe more today than the total of all the original loans combined, thanks to interest, penalties, other usurious fees.
If the numbers seem fuzzy it's because my student loans, private and federal, have been sold and resold and serviced and managed and payments lost and interest rates changed so many times that it's become impossible for me to track. I'm not sure what I owe, to whom I owe it, what I've paid or the interest I'm being charged. About that student loan interest rate fight in Congress? I couldn't have cared less. Frankly, my student loan debt could be a $1 million now and it wouldn't make a bit of difference.
I'm married to this student loan debt. For better or for worse, richer or poorer, she has stayed with me through a divorce, a bankruptcy, and years of unemployment. As I grow older and less able to pay with each passing year, she becomes more demanding, a cranky old woman losing her hearing, continuously nagging me in increasing volume, unable or unwilling to hear my responses. She annoys me daily and will be at my side when I die. But the annoyance is trifling compared to my glee over the fact that she, too, will die, right along with me.
Like so many other naive souls — poor, wretched trophies of human traffickers — I was lured into my trap with a promise of a better life. But, unlike the others, led to their traps by shadowy, sneaky pimps, I was coerced by flashy hustlers who deceived me with legitimized aplomb. Those oh-so-righteous bankers who rode into my life on sedan chairs, supported on the shoulders of the U.S. government and shaded beneath a banner sporting all the colors of law.
The trap was skillfully planned and executed, born of a brilliant collusion among government, bank and financial industry scoundrels. Through contracts, social and legal, they bargained for their benefit (obscene profit for themselves) while guaranteeing me a lifetime of servitude and unmanageable student loan debt.
"Those loans paid for your education. It's your responsibility to pay them back."
My response: I earned my education through hard work and perseverance. If only I could have purchased it, I would have saved myself years of hard work, hours of sleepless nights reading and studying, stress-filled days worrying about making the grades and passing the classes, and thankless jobs, struggling to impress temporary bosses in unpaid internships so maybe, just maybe they would hire me upon graduation.
Student loans DID NOT pay for my education – I earned my education. But because I was born to the 99%, the gate to the opportunity to earn an education was locked to me. Student loans allowed me to rent the key to open the gate; student loans allowed me to join the lucky children of of 1%, those born within the gates who will never need a key.
Little did I know that that key I rented with student loans would also open the door to a trap from which I would never escape.
"You signed a contract. You must honor it."
My response: a legally binding contract requires a meeting of the minds. In a rigged system, there can be no clear, mutual understanding of the terms so no meeting of the minds can exist. Even if there was, unjust enrichment for one party at the detriment in perpetuity of the other party should clearly make that contract null and void. After all, who in his or her right mind would sign up for a lifetime of enslavement to debt in exchange for no guarantee of a verifiable or tangible benefit? [Obviously I am not a lawyer; my argument may sound reasonable, but it has no legal basis].
"I paid my student loan debt and it would be unfair to me if you didn't have to pay yours."
My response is this: at which point did fairness become a factor? Is it fair that children of the wealthy are free to work hard and earn an education and enter the job force with no crushing financial afterthought while the rest of us must become indentured servants in exchange for the mere opportunity to work hard and earn that same education?
In the U.S., college tuition is a regressive tax. To a wealthy citizen, $200,000 buys a pair of earrings or a couple of designer handbags; to the wealthy, education is merely an accessory. For the rest of us, college education is essential. It can mean the difference between reliance on taxpayers and food stamps while juggling jobs at Walmart and McDonalds, or getting a real job, paying taxes and providing opportunities for our own children.
One year later the illegal plant is declared a legal commodity. The first man is released after spending six years in prison and the second man is released after spending only one year in prison. Is it unfair to the first man that the second man is released from his debt?
Some will decide to embrace the chains of their student loan debt using personal responsibility as justification for their sublimation while chanting the following mantra:
I must pay off the student loan debt I was forced to take in order to get the chance to work hard and earn an education that would hopefully qualify me to hopefully obtain a job that would hopefully pay me enough so that I could hopefully pay off the student loan debt that I was forced to take for the opportunity in the first place.
Back-breaking denial feels good to some people. They see debt as bad and hard work as a virtue, closing their eyes to the fact that people who work 20-hour days making poverty-level wages are nothing more than pathetic victims of a rigged, cyclic system from which there is little chance of escape. Thanks to Fox News, these victims see themselves patriots as they take second jobs at Walmart and McDonalds, the sweat of their backs easing their slide into the abyss of modern day slavery.
But not everyone watches Fox News. There are people who see the "work ethic" lie for what it is, mass hypnosis shared by shackled, happy slaves. They see the student loan debt trap for what it is. And they are beginning to revolt.
Although my federal student loan debt ($95,000) is current and managed through Income Based Repayment (I pay $50 per month, which doesn't even cover the weekly interest), my private student loans have been defaulted through no fault of my own.
For a while I bought into the personal responsibility lie. I managed my private student loan debt meticulously for 25 years. When I couldn't make the payments, I filed for deferments. When those ran out, I had my student loans placed into forbearance. When that was no longer an option, my loans became delinquent. I consolidated twice to buy time.
After I got a job making $30,000 gross a year, I set myself up on the IBR plan for my federal loans, calculated what the private student loan debt collectors could garnish, divided that amount by the number of private student loan servicers I had to pay, and sent regular payments to each student loan servicer, not missing a month for 5 years straight. It wasn't enough.
Private student loan debt collectors made my life a living hell. They called me, my family, my office, and my references continuously, sometimes multiple times a day. I received at least 5 letters a week, issuing threats and demanding more payment.
I tried to reason with the private student loan collectors. I wrote letters showing them my budget, telling them I had little money to live on " and they responded with a letter in which they actually admitted the system is rigged against me. In the words of Student Loan Servicing Center:
"We sympathize with your situation; however, we do not offer a program to reduce your balance …"
"You may benefit from an extension if you are unable to pay due to financial hardship " keep in mind that customers who are experiencing long term financial problems will not benefit from this as it simply post pones the inevitable default."
Inevitable default?
My private student loans were put into default by the private student loan servicers because my five years' worth of consistent monthly payments was unacceptable. Legally, they could set the payment terms to whatever they wanted, so when they declared me in default, I began to see the light.
I immediately stopped paying on the defaulted private student loans. And I eventually stopped hearing from them. And I started to finally find relief from the mental trap of student loan debt.
Are the 600,000 people forced into default on their student loans each year really personally irresponsible? Or, can it be that the student loan system really is rigged?
Banks, the government, brokers and collection agencies found a way to unjustly profit off the desire of the 99% to earn an education. They designed a system that would reward lenders and collectors for forcing debtors into default. Creditors reap a 25% collection cost profit on top of the original debt amount if a loan goes into default. Naturally, that 25% is added to the balance of the debt.
They call the part we play in their unscrupulous little game our Personal Responsibility. I think we need to redefine Personal Responsibility.
Consider this:
If I had irresponsibly gambled and lost $200,000, and had no means to pay, I have the option of going to bankruptcy court to get my gambling debt discharged.
If I had irresponsibly bought a bunch of designer purses and shoes and clothing and gallons of martinis on credit, then lost my job and found myself unable to make a payment on my credit card, I have the option of going to bankruptcy court and getting my credit card debt discharged.
If I'm a corporation or a banker who carelessly loaned money to people I knew would be unable to make the payments, I have the option of being bailed out by the government and the taxpayers, or filing for bankruptcy and getting a fresh start.
But if I am an individual seeking an education, and I borrow money in order obtain the opportunity to go to college, work hard and earn an education, then find myself unable to obtain a job or afford my student loan payments, I go into default. The legal protection given to careless corporations, irresponsible gamblers or mindless shopaholics is not offered to me. Bankruptcy court is off-limits; I'm legally bound to my student loan debt forever.
The question of personal responsibility should be directed toward the lenders and the U.S. government. In the case of student loans, money is loaned carelessly and without restraint because the intent of the banks is not to be paid back; the intent is to make an obscene profit, either by selling or defaulting the debt . The banks have no financial incentive to help a debtor stay current on the debt; quite the contrary.
Perhaps banking responsibility is different than personal responsibility. The banks couldn't wait to give me money to attend law school, and they gave me even more money for living expenses while I studied and worked countless hours as an unpaid intern. The fact that I was a poor risk (female, over 40, with a terrible employment record, a former bankruptcy and a low credit score) was not a factor when the banks considered my loan application.
After finishing my first year of law school, I knew a career in law wasn't for me. Unfortunately, it took a whole year of my life, plus $25,000, to find that out. My only hope to pay off my now $50,000 in student loan debt was to obtain my law degree and become a lawyer, so I went deeper into debt and hoped I'd eventually make a lot of money. My grades weren't great, but that didn't matter to the banks. They gave me even more money secured only by my hope.
Imagine my surprise when, in my third and final year of law school, I received a letter from the Board of Admissions telling me I may not be financially fit to sit for the bar. Although I submitted my application at the beginning of my first year, it took the Committee on Character and Fitness nearly three years (after I buried myself in approximately $90,000 more student loan debt) to question my fitness to sit for the bar since I had had a prior bankruptcy on my record.
My financial character was good enough for the banks to loan me over $100K to go to law school, even with a former bankruptcy on my record.
My financial character was good enough to get me into law school and keep me there for three years, even with a former bankruptcy on my record.
My financial character was only brought into question after the banks gave me the money to attend law school, after the law school was paid, and after I earned a law degree. For nearly three years the Committee on Character and Fitness couldn't be bothered to review my application — in which I clearly admitted my former bankruptcy.
In hindsight, I should have walked away. But I fought and was eventually allowed to sit for the bar (a high price, paid with student loans). Needless to say, I did not pass, I did not become a lawyer, I did not get a good-paying job and I did not earn enough money to pay for my freedom from the soon to be $200,000 student loan debt.
What the banks and the collection agencies and the brokers fail to realize is that there is nothing easier than practicing civil disobedience when you have no other choice.
I carry the label of "Student Loan Deadbeat" with pride. I made no mistakes and committed no crimes. My situation is not a result of any sin. I was lured into this student loan debt trap, and the idea that I should seek forgiveness for my predicament is as ludicrous as expecting a human sex slave to seek forgiveness for being unable to pay for her freedom after being bought and sold against her will.
As a Student Loan Deadbeat, I no longer see myself as a victim. I know I have no chance of earning the kind of money it would take to pay off my debt. I don't work crazy hours at menial jobs so I can futilely toss hard-earned money into the bottomless pit in an attempt to gain the respect of half-wits and brag about my bootstraps.
As a Student Loan Deadbeat I don't see myself as irresponsible. I see myself as a freedom fighter, a promoter of justice for other Student Loan Deadbeats, a rebel against the phony debt prison pushed upon me and others like me by a criminal U.S. Banking Cartel. Student Loan Deadbeats don't play a game that is rigged against them. Student Loan Deadbeats are not obedient whores working to enrich their wealthy criminal pimps.
So what is our personal responsibility as Student Loan Deadbeats? Since we have seen the fallacy of the trap of student loan debt, we have a personal responsibility to warn others and expose the lies told by society, government, corporations and banks. We have a personal responsibility to free ourselves and others from the illusory debtor's prison. And we have a personal responsibility to change a corrupt system.
Student Loan Deadbeats do not have it easy. We cannot live like everyone else. Our struggle is continuous; mindfulness must become a way of life. I'm in my 50s, with no hope for retirement or even a full-time job. I earn money when I can get work from friends, live with roommates, barter, exercise and write. I live for today and fight my battles when I can.
And I do so with understanding and acceptance of the following:
I will probably never be bailed-out. Because of my student loan default, I will always be treated as less of a person, refused the same rights as others with "legitimate" business, gambling and consumer debt. There will be no fresh start for me.
I will never be employed. At my age, with my employment record, getting a good job is hard enough. A default on my record and a bad credit score (whatever that means) makes it virtually impossible to find long-term employment. Even if I got a real job, it would be difficult to keep due to constant phone harassment by debt collectors, the risk of embarrassing garnishments (after 2 garnishments an employer can legally fire you) and a looming court case.
I will never be able to run for political office. I am suspect, dirtied, worth less than others because my student loans are in default. Oh, if only I had merely hired prostitutes, or had illicit sex in a public restroom, or took secret, illegal contributions from powerful corporate interests or unscrupulous business owners " I could be candidate material
I will never get a credit card or rent a car. I pay cash for everything. I will never have a credit card or finance anything again. If I need a car, I borrow one from my friends, or rely on others to rent it and sign me as a second driver.
I will never live alone. I cannot get a lease with my credit history. I must live with roommates and rely on them to obtain the lease in their name.
I will never get a cell phone in my name. This is probably a blessing anyway; no harassing calls. I have a friend who buys a package deal and I pay him to use his second phone. I never answer calls from someone I do not know.
I stay off social networking sites. If I share my story or a comment or opinion, I use a pseudonym; why make it easy for the thugs to find me? I know that anything I say can and will be used against me in a court of law, and I do everything I can to avoid being stalked, hounded and harassed by student loan debt collectors.
If I get a message saying I won something, I ignore it.
I will never get married again. Potential spouses are afraid to be associated with my student loan debt.
I will never have a savings account. I will never have more than $500 in the bank. I will never have a retirement account or assets or anything that can be taken away from me. I know the government can empty my bank account at any time, without warning.
If I get any extra money I immediately use it to pay medical expenses or buy essentials like glasses or get my teeth fixed or fix my laptop or shoes or buy second-hand clothing or luxury non-GMO food.
I am constantly afraid of being arrested. I review the State and Federal court dockets each week, looking for my name. I know the tricks debt collectors have been playing. I know they can file a lawsuit against me, not give me proper notice, and have me arrested for contempt of court for not showing up for a court appearance for a case I never knew existed.
Fridays are especially unnerving; debt collectors work with law enforcement to arrest debtors on Friday afternoons so they cannot process bail and must remain in jail until Monday. This is illegal is some states but, in the case of debt collections, legality is irrelevant.
Student Loan Deadbeats cannot buy houses. We don't pay much income or property tax since we don't make much money or own assets. I've learned to live below my means. I am a "non-consumer."
On a lighter note, I am free of the headaches that go with full-time jobs and "owning" houses and cars. No more office politics, no more maintenance and repairs, no more worrying about making a mortgage payment on a house actually owned by a bank.
I've discovered James Altucher and his unique perspective. He has helped me see my situation as a positive rather than a negative. His words have given me the incentive to fight.
Making a living by my wits, living off the grid, leaving the rat race and conquering silly materialistic urges has helped me grow as a person. I fear less and take more risk. And I practice "onedownsmanship" with pride.
I'm learning not only to embrace my no-strings-attached lifestyle, but to love it. You can call me a loser but, the way I see it, I'm a winner.
If you're drowning in student loan debt, or are now in default, stop being a victim. Stop playing a rigged game. Avoid applying for credit. Live simply, and stay off the grid. Live with roommates, borrow the things you need and barter your talents in exchange for necessities. Keep track and claim all your income and make sure you pay all taxes you owe. (There is nothing wrong with paying taxes; everyone should pay their fair share. Only greedy criminals and spineless lemmings avoid paying their taxes.)
Become a proud Student Loan Deadbeat and show the world that student loan debt is nothing to be ashamed of. Talk about it. Write about it. Debt prison is a mental construct, so free yourself in your mind.
But remember, you're still a target of the powerful game players so be careful and mindful as you embrace your newly found freedom.

My only concern is the devaluation of Sha Crystals. I think item-generated equipment should be unable to be disenchanted.
Other than that, what's wrong with a quick catch-up this late in the expansion? The gear generated is, more often than not, itemized for shit. I tried making some empowered gloves because I thought I might get some 535 gloves to replace my 530 valor gloves with hit on them, and of course I ended up with a set of gloves with 1200+ hit and no secondary. Not exactly top of the line. Other than meta slot for helms, does this gear even ever have gem slots?
Also, ToT (even LFR), Conquest, and Valor gear are all still higher ilvl. Really don't see the problem, again other than the flood of Sha Crystals on the AH. (Which is arguably not a problem, at least to some people... I'm biased as an enchanter, who made a lot of money off of Sha Crystals and some enchants that used them.)

Blog on your own domain
When I look around the blogosphere, I find most of the bloggers have hosted their blogs on free blogging platforms. A good percentage of such blogs have aggressive traffic while holding a great page rank.
Blog is a digital asset of the owner. A blog is valued at a premium price when it holds an envious Google page rank. The value still goes up if the blog has revenue base through Google AdSense or any other online ad channel. E-commerce or other business blogs will always go for an attractive price depending on their business model and revenue potential.
We know there are reputed companies like Sedo who are actively engaged in domain marketplace where one can sell his / her domain and websites at an attractive / premium price. There are domain names those were sold at millions of dollars just for the business attraction of the domain name. When you Google the Internet you will find websites like Flippa who are actively engaged in domain name market.
Who can sell his / her blog? Why a blog is bought by people? Who buy the blogs or Websites?
Let me site an example here. Say that you have a photo blog or an art blog. The blog is very reputed and you have built a lot of loyal traffic over a period of time. Your blog obviously should be holding a good page rank. It makes your blog a right digital asset for acquisition by an art store, a reputed art house, or for people who are engaged in supplementary services for artists like designer photo frame making people, training academies in art and painting or so.
One of the important considerations for blog acquisition would be that the blog should have been hosted on its own domain instead of a free blog site resident. Now you know it is time for you to acquire your own domain and host your blog on your domain. That would truly be an envious asset for you.
Let me also provide you some brief inputs in buying a domain for your blog and shifting your blog to new domain.
- Buy a domain name which has a popular keyword or combination of popular keywords. Register the domain for a minimum period of 3 years. Ensure you are giving an active and valid address as the Technical, Administrative and Registrant contacts. The mail ID you provide while registering the domain should be kept safe. Preferably you should buy the domain through Godaddy or similar reputed registrars. Buy hosting space again from a reputed hosting space provider. Google the Internet for reviews of hosting providers before you buy hosting space from them.
- Ensure that the domain name doesn't have hyphens and preferably not having alpha numeric characters.
- Preferably go for dot com domain name as it is highly popular and search engine friendly. If you don't find .com domain name of your choice go for other top TLDs or Country TLD (like '.in' for India).
- Submit the domain name to all major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Directories like Dmoz, Technorati, Blogbee.in.
- Host the website or blog with a popular web hosting provider.
- Import your blog content to the new address on your own domain. Use the import / export tool from your WordPress Dashboard to export the entire blog contents to a file and import on to your new blog.
- Get your domain or blog SEOd through known source. Preferably do it on your own.
- Make changes of your blog address across social media channels.
- Engage in regular activity through Social Media channels sharing the links of your blog posting or updates of your website to your network on old blog.
The other advantage of having your own domain would be freedom to create several sub domains and use them for your future blogs. For all the new bloggers who are yet to get initial page rank for their blog, it is highly suggested to go for own domain.
Note of caution: Blogs that hold good page rank could face the risk of losing the Google page rank after migration to a new URL. The migration should be done taking professionals help.
Happy Blogging!

Also, consume a lot of nuts, beans, and omega-3 fats that will help improve the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in your body. To maintain your glucose and insulin levels you should eat something every four hours.
Eat meals that contain a lot of low-glycemic legumes like chickpeas, lentils, and soybeans. These food items will help to keep the release of sugars into the blood stream slow, thus preventing the release of too much insulin.
Exercising is one of the best ways to balance your blood sugar and reverse diabetes. When you exercise it will improve sugar metabolism by decreasing central body fat.
The best time to exercise is right after you eat something since it will decrease your blood sugar the most. Perform sixty minutes of aerobic exercises five to six times each week, which will help you get a good handle on your diabetes. The more the intense the exercises you do and the longer you exercise the more effectively you will reverse diabetes and insulin resistance.
Focus on Your Gut Flora
The more good bacteria you have in your gut the more powerful your immune system will be and the better your body operate when it comes to reversing diabetes. Eat foods that are fermented such as kefir or yogurt to improve the amount of good bacteria in your intestine.
Take Supplements
There are certain supplements you should take in order to help reverse diabetes. One of the best supplements to take for diabetes is fish oil. Taking fish oil supplements daily will make your insulin sensitivity better, decrease inflammation, and also lower your cholesterol.
To assist you with improving your glucose metabolism take magnesium supplements. Vitamin C supplements will help you improve your antioxidant levels, which will help to balance and decrease blood sugar levels.
You can also control blood sugar levels by taking cinnamon supplements. Herbal supplements such as ginkgo, gymnema, and fenugreek can help you improve your blood sugar level. Alpha-lipoic acid is a great antioxidant that can help you decrease your blood sugar level greatly.
Reduce Stress
When it comes to reversing diabetes and balancing blood sugar naturally most people overlook the stress factor. Stress can cause diabetes since it produces insulin resistance.
The best way to reduce stress is to practice relaxation techniques daily. When exercising spend ten to fifteen minutes performing breathing exercises or yoga to help keep your stress and diabetes under control.

TUCSON, Ariz. – The Arizona women's tennis team remains undefeated after defeating Sacramento State 4-0 Saturday afternoon at the Robson Tennis Center.
The Cats made a statement early taking all three doubles matches, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2.
In singles action Arizona battled to earn each singles point.
"This wasn't our best performance," said Head Coach Vicky Maes. "We did well in the doubles, but had a bit of a meltdown in singles."
Freshman Lauren Marker continued to step up in the No. 3 role just as she did Friday. She earned the second point for the Cats by winning, 6-2, 6-1.
Senior Kim Stubbe grabbed the third point for the Cats shortly after by defeating Alina Soltanici, 6-1, 6-0.
Sacramento State challenged the Cats to earn their final point.
"We got the quick 3-0 lead, but then we kind of sputtered to a near stop," said Maes.
Senior Lacey Smyth took charge and claimed the match for the Cats by winning in the tiebreaker set, 6-1, 4-6, 10-6.
"Fortunately, Lacey kept her cool to win the super tiebreaker," said Maes. "But with this format things can turn quickly and I certainly did not feel comfortable for a while. Credit to Sacramento State for battling, but we need to do better mentally if we want to continue our winning ways."
The Cats clinched and junior Laura Oldham and sophomores Shayne Austin and Inge Hendrikx did not finish their matches.
The Wildcats will take their first spring road trip to Lubbock, Texas to take on Texas Tech on Friday, February 14 and Georgia Tech on Saturday, February 15. Both matches will take place at Texas Tech.

A quick search of google images for any sort of revealing photos of Lisa will lead in bitter disappointment. I was hoping to see her completely nude but found absolutely nothing. As always when you want too see an actress naked who never has posed naked you have to rely on celebrity fakes like these.
I got both of these from the Celeb Defamer site. They had a lot more of Lisa but these were my two favorites of the bunch. You can see the rest of them in full size by joining their site. Of course you will then also be able to see thousands more famous women like you never dreamed of seeing them.

Milligan came back in the 2nd half trading buckets with Tennessee Wesleyan most of the half, before the Buffaloes closed the game with a 17-4 run against the Bulldog bench.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Wizard of Oz had its British premiere at the London Palladium on March 1st, 2011, directed by Jeremy Sams (who had collaborated with Lloyd Webber on the script) and with choreography by Arlene Phillips. The cast included Danielle Hope as Dorothy Gale and Michael Crawford as Professor Marvel and the Wizard, with Paul Keating as Hunk and the Scarecrow, Edward Baker-Duly as Hickory and the Tin Woodman, David Ganly as Zeke and the Cowardly Lion, Emily Tierney as Glinda, Hannah Waddingham as Miss Gulch and the Wicked Witch of the West, Helen Walsh as Aunt Em and the Munchkin Barrister, and Stephen Scott as Uncle Henry, the Head Guard, and someone called Philippe.
Hope's fellow Over the Rainbow winner Sophie Evans became her understudy, as well as doing regular performances during the weeks of the show's initial run. Toto was portrayed by no less than four dogs.
Robert Jones designed the sets and costumes. The latter were of course designed mostly around the lines of those in the MGM film, but with stylistic differences which ranged from the teenaged Dorothy wearing overalls in the opening sequence (changing into the more familiar gingham frock later) to the Tin Woodman looking not unlike his counterpart in The Wiz, with a torso resembling an oil drum.
As for the sets, they seem to have left greater impressions on many audience members than even the show itself, and not all of them favorable. One reviewer likened Jones's Emerald City to how an inebriated man might see the lobby of New York's Chrysler Building. With typical British cynicism, some reviewers decried the spectacle of the show as overshadowing the narrative, but others praised the performers, especially Crawford.
The former Phantom, who not long before had rallied from myalgic encephalomyelitis, a frightening form of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, departed the show at the same time as Danielle Hope. His role was taken by Russell Grant and later by comedian Des O'Connor, while Sophie Evans moved up to the starring position.
Soon after the British show closed in September of 2012, a Canadian production got underway, and even did its own reality show covering its casting of Dorothy; it's interesting to note that the contestants wore silver shoes! The winner of that competition was, curiously, another Danielle, this one with the surname Wade. Her runner-up, and subsequent understudy, was Stephanie La Rochelle.
The Canadian production was performed in Toronto, the home of James Doyle and Joe Cascone's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Its cast included Cedric Smith as Professor Marvel and the Wizard, Jamie McKnight as Hunk and the Scarecrow, Mike Jackson as Hickory and the Tin Woodman, Lee MacDougall as Zeke and the Cowardly Lion, Robin Evan Williams as Glinda, and Lisa Horner as Miss Gulch and the Wicked Witch of the West.
"But what about the actual music?" You may well be asking by now.

I was recently alerted to an extraordinary organization by a teacher friend, who posted an account of a visit to Barnes and Noble with her 3rd grade class. She wrote:
"Thanks to the My Own Book Program, every student in my class was able to buy $50 worth of brand new books from Barnes and Noble today.
The kids listened patiently as the coordinators gave them suggestions for shopping. And then they were off, snapping up copies of The Diary of A Wimpy Kid, Because of Winn Dixie, super hero themed chapter books, and one boy found a children's version of The Odyssey, which filled him with delight.
This boy, who is an out of the box thinker, is still trying to find his tribe: the people who will get him as he is, instead of trying to make him conform to everyone else. As we were leaving the store, he said, "This bookstore was so beautiful. It almost made me cry." Me, too. Me, too.
Thanks for this great story, and for descriptions of the program. Prior to the actual visit, the fund sends personnel to the classrooms. Children are guided to make inventories of their current reading, favorite topics and areas of interest. With discussion around these lists, by the time the children reach the store, they are well prepared to make smart choices.
Any teachers out there who are in the low-income areas and schools being served by this program should take note and follow the link to access books for their own classes! http://foundationcenter.org/grantmaker/myownbook/
Interestingly, there is another site of the same name which sends volunteers to visit classrooms and give away books on site:
While I don't have a personal connection to this site, it is worth exploring. Getting books into the hands of children is a worthwhile endeavor by any means available! I am reminded of an earlier event I documented in Newark where a foundation sponsored Scholastic in providing new books to the children there, along with a little backpack to keep them in! http://www.examiner.com/article/my-very-own-library-foundation
Excerpted from what I wrote:
". . . . . look at the life and legacy of Anne Feeley, a remarkable, dedicated woman who started a program for Newark school children called "My Very Own Library". She passed away in October 2012 from a rare form of brain cancer, but in collaboration with the Foundation for Newark's Future, that year, her foundation provided 11,000 children in Newark Public Schools with a total of 10 free books of their own choosing!"
Surrounded by so much visual media, and over-stimulated by video games and over-the-top action movies, it is hard for traditional print media to compete. Schools are the last bastions of support for life-long reading habits. There is no incentive for reading better than the experience of doing it – often, consistently, and in optimum conditions, such as a quiet, comfortable place where your imagination can soar. If we cannot provide these incentives and the resources for rich, engaging books, we are fighting a losing battle with the Matthew principle. Those who have access and resources will go deeper, faster, more successfully, and those that do not will simply lose out and fall farther behind. Not seeing the value in, or being able to make sense out of, the written word is still a disadvantage. The same children who aren't reading are also not benefiting from the alternative resources such as online and video sites, museums or educational workshops and after-schools. Educators, parents and foundations of the kind showcased here must continue to bridge the gap.
Bonus link: Children in grades 1-6 can earn a free book just for reading 8 books this summer. Check if the program is available near you through this link: http://bit.ly/1usgM8M
I have also written frequently about specific books - mostly picture books suitable for read-alouds - that will delight and inspire your young readers. Please check my articles for references.

Baseball Cruises Past Arkansas, 9-1
March 14, 2004
Fayetteville, Ark. - Saturday's rain-out must have given the University of Illinois at Chicago baseball team the rest they needed, as the Flames combined a potent hitting attack and a pitching gem to race past Arkansas for the 9-1 non-conference victory in front of 2,047 at Baum Stadium at George Cole Field on Sunday afternoon.
"I liked our intensity throughout the entire game," UIC Head Coach Mike Dee said. "We executed our gameplan flawlessly today."
Junior second baseman Bryan Russo continues to shine for the Flames, going 3-for-5 with four RBI, a run scored and a stolen base. Senior outfielder J.P. Moran (2-run homer) and junior catcher Justin Johnson both chipped in three hits for UIC on Sunday.
Junior southpaw Ryan Gehring (2-1) retired the first 11 batters he faced and held the Razorbacks to one hit and struck out three batters in eight innings of work.
"Ryan Gehring was outstanding today," Dee said. "He had command of all of his pitches today and performed like a champion."
With the victory, UIC improves to 7-4 on the campaign, while the Razorbacks fall to 12-6 overall.
Ryan Lennerton was tagged with the loss for Arkansas, allowing three runs and six hits in 2 2/3 innings.
UIC will be back in action on Friday, as they will travel to Coral Gables, Fla., to open a three-game set with #7 Miami at 7:00 p.m.

July 20, 2009 – The Dept. of Labor issues Field Assistance Bulletin 2009-02, providing guidance on Form 5500 annual reporting requirements for 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity programs for contracts issued before Jan. 1, 2009.
In 2007, the IRS issued the Final 403(b) Regulations and the DOL published a revised Form 5500 and related regulations, eliminating limited reporting for 403(b) plans and requiring ERISA 403(b) plans with 100 or more participants to file audited financial statements with their Form 5500 filings. Recognizing that administrators could be unable to identify all participant contracts and accounts issued before Jan. 1, 2009, the DOL provided transitional relief for the 2009 plan year Form 5500 filings as long as certain conditions were met.

(Photo above) Sen. Tom Berryhill (R-Twain-Harte) reviews information on key education bill presented to him by a team of area teachers as part of the Capital/Delta visit to legislators at the state Capitol.
Educators from schools in the area around Sacramento and the river delta came to the Capitol on April 30 to talk to their lawmakers about key measures pending in the legislature.
The educators spoke width legislators on two measures dealing width teacher dismissal and evaluation and one providing for privatization of higher education coursework.
The three measures are pending in the Senate Education Committee, which has them on a vote-only agenda for Wednesday, May 1. Educators testified against the measures during an earlier committee hearing on April 24.
Specifically, the educators are seeking to defeat:
SB 441, the CTA-opposed measure by Sen. Ron Calderon (D-Montebello). Heavily backed by StudentsFirst and founder Michelle Rhee, the bill seeks to drastically change teacher evaluations. Instead of improving the teacher evaluation system, this bill would limit evaluations to four measurements. It would also eliminate their input on evaluation processes by eliminating the subject as an item width the scope of local collective bargaining. In the view of educators, the measure would do nothing to provide them width the useful and effective feedback that would help them become even better teachers.
The bill failed to gain the five votes needed for passage during the April 24 hearing, but the author was able to gain "reconsideration," paving the way for the May 1 revote.
SB 531, the CTA-opposed bill by Sen. Steve Knight (R-Palmdale). This bill would make onerous changes to the laws governing discipline and dismissal of certificated employees. It would eliminate employee input about a fair process by eliminating these items from the scope of bargaining.
SB 520, the CTA-opposed measure by Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento). This measure would privatize community college and higher education on-line courses that should be taught by college faculty.
You can help win these important votes by getting in touch width members of the Senate Education Committee through CTA's Legislative Action Center.
The educators were also seeking legislators' support for CTA-supported AB 375, by Assembly Member Joan Buchanan (D-Alamo). That measure streamlines and improves the state's dismissal process to help protect children and the profession. The measure was on its way to the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
A team of teachers from the Sacramento – Delta areas speaks width a staff member of Sen. Gaines on key issues. Team Member Dana Dillon, an elementary teacher from Weed, urges support for AB 375, a teacher dismissal bill by Assembly Member Joan Buchanan (D-Alamo) and a "no" vote on SB 441, by Sen. Ron Calderon (D-Montebello), an opposed measure that would undermine effective evaluation for educators. Other team members include area teachers Nik Fertitta (out of frame), Lysa Sassman, Alek Ustaszewski, and John Halvorsen.
A staff member for Sen. Lois Wolk , Michael Erke (c.) talks width (r.) Rob Rogers, who teaches in Woodland, and Howard Blair, who teaches in Davis.

Happy 25th Anniversary Sun!
By lskrocki on Feb 23, 2007
Sun was incorporated 25 years ago today. I've only been at Sun the last six years, but had my eyes set on becoming an employee long before then. I blogged previously about one of my first fond memories about working at Sun -- it was the day I almost met Scott McNealy, Sun Founder:
"It was the fall of 2000 and I had just joined Sun -- something I aspired to do for years. I was in training at the Sun campus in Burlington, MA and Scott was speaking at an all hands. Not only was it standing room only, but the best position I could get was in a hallway where I could see him through a couple panels of glass. I was super starry-eyed -- like seeing the pope or something!Scott has a far more compelling story about how it all began. Have a look...
The only other time I saw him, I was a volunteer at the Sun John Elway Golf Classic and was standing at the 1st hole. As Scott arrived at the hole, I meant to say something like "Hey Scott! Good luck today!", but instead I just stood there. Frozen. Staring. Mouth agape. I'm sure he was impressed."

In 2004, Noah Mills made his debut catwalk appearance at theGucci and Yves Saint Laurent shows, in Milan and Paris. The following year was much more fruitful for Mills and he opened the Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan. In addition, he walked for Dsquared2, Givenchy, Alessandro Dell'Acqua, and John Galliano. Later in his modeling career, Mills graced the catwalks of Bottega Veneta, Michael Kors, Versace, Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani, and many other fashion shows.
Along with his catwalk successes, Mills has been photographed for many leading advertising campaigns. In 2005, he was shot by Steven Meisel for one of Dolce & Gabbana's most controversial campaigns; wearing a pair of low-riding jeans way below the waist, which gave both men and women a LOT to think about.
In 2006, Mills was announced as the new face of Calvin Klein and Emporio Armani. He was also photographed for Tom Ford (2007), Michael Kors (2009), Tommy Hilfiger (2010), and others.
Away from the model spotlight, Mills like to play and tatch basketball. He also has a keen interest in psychology. In 2010, the hot Canadian appeared in "Sex and the City 2" as one of the lovers of Kim Cattrall's character, Samantha Jones.

When two multi-platinum selling classic rock bands take an outdoor stage to close out the summer, there is a good chance musical magic will fill the air, and Wednesday night was a perfect example of that. Boston and Night Ranger descended on the Ford Amphitheater in Nampa on the 2014 Heaven on Earth Tour. The bands delivered the final outdoor rock event of the summer season, and there was definitely a touch of madness in the air.
Bay Area based Night Ranger were among the hard rock elite in the mid-80s, releasing platinum albums and filling the airwaves with a bevy of classic hits. This summer the band released its brilliant new album, High Road, which finds the band continuing its legacy of crafting hooky and melodic sing-along rockers. As co-founder and guitarist Brad Gillis told The Examiner in an interview last week, the band stacked the deck for this show, dealing out one hit after another beginning with "A Touch of Madness", "Sing Me Away, and "Four in the Morning (I Can't Take Anymore)", representing each of the band's first three records. Those familiar with the band know that bassist/vocalist Jack Blades took a brief hiatus in the 90s to record as part of the supergroup, Damn Yankees, and Night Ranger surprised fans with two hit singles; "Coming of Age" and the ballad, "High Enough", from that band's debut album.
For fans yearning for something new that sounds like something vintage, Night Ranger delivered with the title cut from the new record, High Road. Blades and company encouraged the crowd to break out their singing voices to help on the chorus. The band dusted off a deep cut from their debut album with "Eddie's Coming Out Tonight", before laying down a tight rendition of their classic, "When You Close Your Eyes". Next up Gillis broke out one of his most iconic solos from the band's debut single in 1982, "Don't Tell Me You Love". Playing off against Brad was former Alice Cooper guitarist Keri Kelli, who just joined the band in place of the recently departed, Joel Hoekstra. Drummer/vocalist Kelly Keagy kicked off the double encore with the help of keyboardist Eric Levy for the monster smash, "Sister Christian". Closing it out, the band loudly reminded the Treasure Valley crowd: "(You Can Still) Rock in America".
Night Ranger's set was too short for my taste, but it was built to thrill the crowd. I would love to have heard another track off the new record and one or two off their amazing Somewhere in California album from 2011. In all, it was a fantastic set by a group of fun loving guys who still live for getting up on that stage. One noticeable flaw: the guitars were too low in the mix for such a riff driven band.
When Boston arrived in 1976, its debut album altered the face of rock and roll. Led by mastermind guitarist, organist, engineer, producer…Tom Scholz, the band created a sound unlike anything before or since, and that eponymous debut album went on to become the best-selling debut of all time (until a little band called Guns n' Roses came along). While Scholz remains the band's sole original member, he has surrounded himself with passionate and like-minded musicians who really bring Boston's music alive.
Boston rightfully kicked off its 90+ minute set with "Rock & Roll Band" and "Smokin'" from that '76 debut. The fans left their seats, found their feet, and lost their minds. On the latter track, Scholz fired up his organ which billowed smoke on the song's breakdown. The band only played two tracks off its newest record, Life Love & Hope, including the title track. Oddly, they did not play the album's single, "Heaven on Earth" from which the tour takes its name. Hit after hit followed, including; "Cool the Engines", "Feelin' Satisfied", "Peace of Mind", "Amanda", "Don't Look Back", "Something About You", and of course, "More Than a Feeling".
Gary Pihl, who has been with the band for nearly 30 years, was masterful on the guitar, while bassist Tracy Ferrie (Stryper) bounced about the stage like a grinning rock and roll minion. Onetime bassist and now rhythm guitarist, Kimberly Dahme took her turn behind the mic for "Surrender to Me" and added depth to the background harmonies on every song.
While no one can hope to replace the unique voice of the late Brad Delp, vocalist Tommy DeCarlo turned in a strong yet understated performance throughout the show, and drummer Curly Smith kept the rhythm driving all night. The always subdued Scholz, was the typical goofy grinned genius who continues to be driven by his love to create. His guitar and organ performances were spot on and he demonstrated both during the title track from the band's fourth album, Walk On.
The band has been touring with special guest and former American Idol finalist Siobhan Magnus. The young singer lent her voice to "Walk On", then stuck around to provide back-up vocals for the final few songs, including the show finale, "Foreplay/Longtime", which electrified a crowd which had grown a bit distracted during the 20 minute interlude of lesser known songs after "More Than a Feeling". The fans jumped right back into their groove and remained there for the two-song encore of "I Think I Like It" and "Party". Despite a slow moment or two, the overall set was dynamic and flawless and our hearts and heads were swimming with distant memories of our youth.
Wednesday night marked two outstanding performances by two bands who continue to write and record great new music. At this point in Boston's storied career Boise may have seen their last local appearance, though we shall keep our fingers crossed for at least one more trip back. You can catch our interviews with Night Ranger here, and Boston here.

Victims of Ovarian Germ-cell Tumors can Do Away With Chemotherapy Unless Disease Recurs
by Savitha C Muppala on October 22, 2010 at 12:24 AM Cancer News - G J E 4
Researchers from Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center (DF/CHCC) have said that nearly 50% of girls treated for germ-cell ovarian tumors can safely be spared chemotherapy using a "watch and wait" strategy to determine if the follow-up treatment is needed.
Data from the trial involving 25 young women ages 9 to 16 are being presented at the 42nd Congress of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) in Boston on Friday, Oct. 22. The study was led by Lindsay Frazier, MD, a pediatric oncologist at DF/CHCC and chair of the Germ Cell Tumor Committee of the Children's Oncology Group.
Advertisement"I personally think that not giving chemotherapy to half the patients [women with germ cell ovarian tumors] is a good thing," said Frazier. "The chemotherapy is just as effective given when the disease recurs. I would recommend that parents consider a watching and waiting strategy."
Germ cell tumors are malignancies that develop in precursors of sperm cells in boys and egg cells in girls. Some forms of the tumors are most often detected immediately following birth; other types are most common between the ages of 10 and 30.
Previous trials had shown that delaying chemotherapy was safe and effective in Stage 1 germ cell testicular tumors in boys. Over time, 30 percent of the patients developed a recurrence, but they were all cured by chemotherapy.
"So instead of giving 100 percent of them chemotherapy, only 30 percent needed it," explained Frazier, who said it's been found that the usual three cycles of chemotherapy administered for the tumors doubles the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease or second cancers.
The current study was undertaken to test a similar watch-and-wait approach in female patients. Frazier said 25 girls with Stage 1 germ cell ovarian tumors were recruited from about 100 medical centers - an indication of the cancer's rarity. In all cases, the tumors had been completely removed by surgery.Instead of undergoing chemotherapy immediately, the girls were monitored closely for signs of recurrence. Every three weeks their blood was tested for biochemical markers signifying a regrowth of the cancer, and every three months they were scanned with CT or MRI imaging.
"The median time to relapse was two months, and the latest relapse was at 9 months, so the families were not living with uncertainty for a long time," Frazier said.
The recurrence rate was 50 percent - higher than in the boys with germ cell tumors - but the delayed treatment was similarly effective though one girl died, yielding a survival rate of 96 percent.
Preventing unnecessary chemotherapy treatment for half of girls with such tumors is still desirable, said Frazier, "because there is evidence that girls are even more susceptible to long-term harm from chemo than boys are."

Yes - you can obtain additional points on the application for specific and current medical certifications. Please refer to the AS in Nursing Application to find out which medical certifications are accepted and their corresponding points.
Can I still work while in the program?
Students have found it difficult to work full time while attending the program. This is a personal choice and is encouraged to be looked at carefully, especially in the final semester.
Can I transfer into a BSN program?
Nursing courses from associate degree programs do not usually transfer directly into BSN programs.

Did the LPN to AS in Nursing Bridge (3 semester) program merge with the AS in Nursing (4 semester) program?
Effective fall 2014, new College of Western Idaho (CWI) students with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) status will enter the CWI Nursing program in a synergistic cohort model covering four semesters. This model will improve collaboration and support in covering the rigorous curriculum – benefiting all nursing students.
Previously, new LPN students did not attend the first semester of the program which led to challenges in adjusting to the academic setting and connecting with fellow students who were entering the second semester.
"We believe that this change will ultimately help students succeed in an inclusive learning environment," notes CWI Nursing Program Chair Allison Baker. "Our goal is to provide nursing students with the best in education while at CWI so that they are successful in their nursing career."
Do we need to take the TEAS test prior to acceptance?
Yes - the successful completion and corresponding score on a TEAS test will be an important part of the application process moving forward. Information is on-line at: www.atitesting.com. You will always want to study for and complete the most current available TEAS assessment as there may be a few assessments to choose from. TEAS scores are good up to five years. When you apply to the AS in Nursing program, you will need to include a copy of your best TEAS score to date. For more information on how we score applications, please see our AS in Nursing Application.

At CWI we do not automatically evaluate bachelor's and/or master's degrees. In order to find out what courses transferred to CWI, you need to submit a completed Bachelor's Degree Transfer Credit Request Form.
Is the program full-time? Is it during the day, night, on-line?
Primarily courses are Monday thru Friday, during the day. This varies by semester and by clinical site. At this time, there are no online courses available for the AS Nursing program.
Is there a wait list to get into program?
We accept new applications every spring for fall admission. There is no waiting list. Students who wish to be considered for application must reapply each year by resubmitting an application. Previously submitted applications will not be available to students who want to reapply. It is recommended that applicants keep personal copies of all the submitted documentation for the application process.
Is your nursing program accredited?
On Tuesday (Aug. 6, 2013), the College of Western Idaho (CWI) Nursing program announced it has been approved for initial accreditation with the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), formerly the National League for Nursing Accreditation (NLNAC). The ACEN Board of Commissioners recommended initial accreditation for the program following a site review completed in late January.
"This national accreditation signifies the quality of CWI's nursing program. Students' graduating from the program and successfully passing NCLEX exam will be able to transfer on to bachelor and graduate nursing programs and receive preferential employability with healthcare organizations," said Cathleen Currie, CWI Assistant Dean for Health and Human Services. "Garnering accreditation for our nursing programs involves virtually every area of our college from our One Stop Student Services team who help students through the enrollment process, to the faculty in our academic areas building the foundational skills, to the nursing instructors who provide exceptional hands-on learning opportunities for our students to succeed."
Until now, the CWI Nursing program was considered a candidate for national accreditation. Approval of initial accreditation was awarded following a rigorous review process of CWI's self-study report, the College catalog, curriculum review, a site visitor's report, a recommendation by the Program Evaluators and Evaluation Review Panel. The new designation provides the program a five-year period to further develop areas of emphasis as identified by the Board of Commissioners, with an evaluation visit scheduled for spring 2018. The ACEN is responsible for the specialized accreditation of a wide variety of nursing education programs, including clinical doctorate, master's, bachelor's, associate, diploma, and practical programs.
"Our nursing program has been producing exceptional students with highly desirable skills," notes CWI President Bert Glandon. "We are thrilled to have received confirmation from the ACEN for initial accreditation status and look forward to continuing to serve our community with affordable, quality educational offerings that support a strong workforce in the healthcare sector."
Also see our Nursing page for more details.
It has been 15+ years since I was in college. Will everything transfer?
Many courses from accredited programs/colleges will transfer. In order to be sure of the transferring coursework, you will want to apply to CWI online, pay the $25.00 Application Fee and submit your official transcripts directly from each college/university to One Stop Student Services, MS 1000, P.O. Box 3010, Nampa, ID 83653. CWI will then evaluate your transcripts and send you a Transcript Evaluation Report by mail.

Academic progress and options in employment often go hand in hand, with better readers typically getting better jobs and making more money. Poor reading skills are linked to poverty and incarceration. Consider the flowing statistics reported on The K12 reading website:
- 66% of students who reach the fourth grade without proficient reading skills end up on welfare or in prison
- over 60% of adult inmates in the U.S prison system have reading skills at or below the fourth grade level.
- 85% of juveniles in prison are functionally illiterate.
- 43% adults who have extremely low reading skills survive at or below the poverty line.
But all is not lost, even for struggling readers. Reading improves with practice. Parents can improve reading skills during the summer to help students hold on to or improve gains made during the school year with 15-20 minute sessions using short comprehension passages.
Because good readers naturally predict what will happen next as they read, mysteries, such as The Disappearing Dog Dilemma, by Christy Barritt, are a popular genre to use for developing or strengthening prediction skills.
Students read the text softly to themselves while the adult provides guidance and coaching to individuals based on listening to the student read and watching for facial cues that the student is reading with ease or difficulty.
Once students have completed the reading, the adult provides ample praise and asks questions to ensure that the student has comprehended the text.
A free set of six printable comprehension passages based on the Disappearing Dog Dilemma are available on TeachersPayTeachers. These passages are consecutive so the further students read, the more background knowledge and context they have.
The passages cover Common Core standards RL 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4. The questions span the scope of Bloom's Taxonomy and include: recall, sequencing, explain, describe, comprehend, infer, estimate, predict, facts vs. opinion, compare and contrast, pros and cons, and figurative language.

this might seem like stupid Q but I have PS problem: like the title says I try something like:
$all = gci D:\work\
$all | Select-String ".*_.*=-1"
(im looking for config option that has value -1 and _ in name) Problem is that PS freezes, aka it doesnt finish in reasonable time, ctrl +c doesnt work. Ofc you could say that data is just to much for it to process, but problem is that grep takes like 1-2 secs on same folder and same regex.
Grep command is (originally it didnt have -r but I added it after some comments, grep is still fast but it takes 20-30 sec)
grep ".*_.*=-1" -r D:\work\*
$all | ForEach-Object {echo $_.Name; $_|Select-String ".*_.*=-1" }
shows slowly filenames... I guess the problem is that Regex speed in PS is pathetic...
