Scholarship Information
Applying for and receiving financial aid is an important part of the college admissions process. If you can't pay your tuition, you won't be able to go to your intended college. That's why it's important to look at all of your financial aid options, including reading up on scholarship information to find out what you need to do before applying for awards.
We always stress that you should apply early and apply often, as awards are being added to scholarship databases constantly and many have deadlines that could be fast approaching. Conduct a free scholarship search on Scholarships.com as your first step toward finding awards you're eligible for and browse through our site to find helpful tips and advice on the scholarship application process. The more scholarship information you have, the more prepared you'll be to start the process and land your share of the free money out there to supplement your financial aid package for college.
How Do I Find Scholarships?
You may feel like it isn't worth it to apply to scholarship awards because of how competitive many of them are. But someone has to win, so why shouldn't it be you? Landing an award isn't easy but there are ways to improve your chances, especially if the scholarship you find is focused on criteria specific to your student profile. Qualification criteria vary so much from scholarship provider to scholarship provider that most people seeking scholarships could certainly find some assistance. Apply for academic scholarships if you have a stellar GPA and standardized test scores to match but don't forget all the things that make you unique and could land you free money to pad your financial aid package.
One of the most important steps once you find an award that interests you is to read the directions (pay attention especially to deadlines), qualifications (if you don't meet the criteria exactly, don't apply) and fine print carefully (an award you have to pay for to receive could be a scholarship scam). Paying attention to detail will also help you from making minor mistakes that will send your application to the bottom of the judges' pile. Remember that there are scholarship opportunities out there for everyone, even if your strengths have nothing to do with academics. Browse through our site to see some of our secrets to success and scholarship information on how to make your application stand out and look like a winning entry. Rather than fruitlessly searching through irrelevant or insignificant scholarship offers, students who visit Scholarships.com find applicable scholarship information that can be sorted by title, deadline, relevancy or maximum amount of money awarded.
When Should I Apply?
According to the National Scholarship Database, nearly 60 percent of scholarship deadlines fall between the months of February and April. Therefore, students should begin applying at least a few months prior to this, preferably sometime between September and December. You can use the summer months to complete last minute scholarship applications and finalize loan plans but the bulk of the work should be completed well before then. More importantly, students should always submit their scholarship information before the application deadline. Many organizations will not even glance at late arrivals when determining recipients of scholarship awards, so you could be out of luck if you're even a day late. Some applications may require you to put in some time but once you've completed an application or two, you might find it will get easier and take less time with each additional one scholarship award. You may even find that you're able to use components of some applications for other scholarships, such as essays or personal statements.
What Tips Should I Keep in Mind?
The misinformation and scholarship myths out there could scare anyone out of applying for college scholarships. If you do a little research now, you'll find that not only is the scholarship application process not as time-consuming and intense as you may think, but that there are awards out there for almost everyone. If you know what to look for in an award, you'll be less likely to find yourself paying to either enter to win an award or to use a scholarship search website. With options like Scholarships.com, there's no need to ever pay to get an extensive list of awards you qualify for. You don't need to look too hard to find scholarships you could be eligible for and students who know what scholarship information judges are looking for will have a head start on the competition and the best chance at winning scholarships. Some of the more important things to remember include applying early (or at least before the deadline), meeting all requirements, following all directions, proofreading and, if the opportunity presents itself, expressing personality and stressing individuality.
Browse through our site to see the kind of scholarship information you'll need to find awards worthy of your attention and you'll find that once you start the process, you'll be surprised you hadn't started searching sooner.

9/11 Memorial Flags Trashed at California College

by Susan DutcaVandals allegedly trashed the 2,997 American flags planted across Occidental College's campus as a 9/11 Memorial by the college's Republican Club. The broken and trashed flags were replaced by fliers that read, "RIP the 1,455,590 innocent Iraqis who died during the U.S. invasion for something they didn't do."

Private Jet College Tours? Sure...If You Have $100K
September 6, 2016
by Susan DutcaIt's not feasible to do 10 campus visits in only 5 days - unless you're willing and able to pay for a private jet that costs more than college tuition itself. Magellan Jets offers a college tour package to "decrease both the headache and the time spent on college campus visits." So if you have $100,000 to spare, sit back, relax, and enjoy the refreshment bar as you soar to your next campus [...]

Just cleaning the surface of your jetted tub is not enough. To ensure that your next bath is enjoyable, the jets themselves must be cleaned regularly to remove the bacteria and mold that can grow inside. This is a guide about cleaning bath tub jets.
I was surprised that folks do not realize that the "black stuff" in the Jacuzzi tub jets is black mold! There is no need to scrub. Simply fill the tub with water and then add a half gallon of household bleach. Turn on the pump and let it run for an hour. Turn off the pump and let the bleach water stand overnight.
In the morning, put on a rubber glove and pull the plug to drain the tub. You must do this at least once per month. I have been using this method for thirteen years and my tub is fresh and clean. No black mold and no tub damage.
I moved into a home that has a Whirlpool bathtub. When I operate the jets, a black substance comes out. What could it be and how do I clean it? I ran the tub for an hour and still have the substance.
By Electus from Jacksonville, FL
Fill the tub with enough water to cover the jets adequately, so the water won't splash everywhere when you turn it on. Then, put 1/2 gallon of bleach into the water, turn it on, and run for 20 minutes. That should do it!
The flaking you see coming out of the jets is from the use of bleach and dishwasher detergent. Bleach kills and leaves behind the "gunk" in the pipes; cascade just delays the flaking. The pipes need to be flushed with a product that scrapes the gunk off the sides of the pipes and jets. The Ahh-Some Bio Cleaner for Jetted is one product that works great and keeps the pipes clean.
You have to clean the pipes in a jetted tub just as much as you clean the toilet otherwise algae & mold start to grow in the pipes, the cycle begins all over.
Use a product that was meant to clean and not some cheap way of killing bacteria. It's a bit more complicated than what is told on these forums. Learn to enjoy your time in the bath, not fight the gunk!
After reading this article, I decided to try Ahh-some for my jetted tub and I was amazed how well it worked. I followed the instructions and was amazed how much black soot floating in my tub. I can't believe that I was soaking in such filthy water! I also like the fact that it is a bio cleaner since I have several small children at home. I don't have to worry about them inadvertently consuming it.
I moved into a home that has a Whirlpool bathtub. When I operate the jets, a black substance comes out. What could it be and how do I clean it? I ran the tub for an hour and still have the substance.
By Electus from Jacksonville, FL
I saw this on one of those filthy house shows, the english version. They ran a hot bath and put in a dishwasher tablet, just trying to remember if you have these in the States. You could use a standard dose of whatever you use in your dishwasher; let it dissolve and stand for 10 minutes then you run the jets a few times. Hopefully this will do the trick if not repeat the procedure until they run clean. Hope this helps seems like an easy fix to me. (01/17/2011)

I have just moved into a house that has a whirlpool tub. What is the best product to use to clean out the jets?
By Sheila from Ontario, Canada
I have a whirlpool tub and all I do is fill the tub with really hot water (it has to go over the jets). While it is filling I add a cup or so of white vinegar. Turn on the jets for about 20-1/2 an hour. (I have a timer built into the wall.) You may find a dirty scum on the water as it works and you may have to clean the tub after. I do this every month. I never got directions how to do jet cleaning as the tub came with the house, but vinegar is safer on any possible rubber or plastic parts the jets may contain. I find it is economical and eco-friendly. (11/03/2010)
By thriftmeg
Does anyone have a formula for cleaning my tub jets using vinegar in the water? How much vinegar to a tub full of water and is there any other ingredient to add?
By mo2 from Phillipsburg, NJ
I have bathtub jets and I clean them periodically with bleach. I use a cup because my tub is big and holds a lot of water. Fill the tub to above the jets so the water circulates well. If you want to conserve water, clean the jets after someone has used the bath. Don't drain the tub and add more water if necessary. Run the motor a few minutes, turn it off and let it soak a while before draining. Scrub around the jet outlets with a soft toothbrush. I think bleach is better than vinegar for this job. It will sanitize the pipes/water jet apparatus.

CHRIS LEWIS, PARTNER: People are arrested all the times of the day and night. No one ever really plans on being arrested. I think it's important, and something that we do is we make ourselves available twenty-four hours a day. People can call our office at any time of the day or night and they're going to have a live person that answers the telephone, that takes down their information and that gets word to one of the attorneys as soon as possible.
I realize that whenever people come and they talk to me that they're in a position they didn't expect to be in and they're scared, and they want their life just to be back to normal, and I care about that. I don't care about a case just being brought to a conclusion. I really want the best outcome for my clients.
Prior to becoming a criminal defense lawyer and right out of law school, I prosecuted for several years. What being a prosecutor allowed me to do was it exposed me to a wide variety of cases. It also had me in the courtroom every single day trying cases. I know how prosecutors are going to think. I know how they're going to approach a case. I know what they're going to do in trial, and knowing those things helps me better represent my clients.

The New York-based Pretty Things Peepshow will be coming to Johnson City's Galaxy Lounge Feb. 5 and 6. The peepshow began in 2009, and is currently conducting its 2013 U.S. tour, which started in late January, and will continue into mid-March.
Peepshow producer go-go Amy created the Pretty Things Peepshow after performing solo in burlesque shows and sideshows. In addition to performing on burlesque stages and in burlesque festivals, go-go Amy also did pinup modeling for various magazines, was the feature dancer in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' music video for "The Zephyrs Song," and appeared in Warped Tour.
I had the opportunity to interview Amy and ask her a few questions about her career, the Pretty Things Peepshow and the peepshow's current tour.
Q: You've worked in burlesque for a while now. What exactly is burlesque?
A: Burlesque is old timey strip tease, which had it's heyday from the early 1900s to the 1950s. It's more about the tease than the strip. The sexiest part of the human body is the imagination so I keep enough covered up to make that the focus of my acts.
Q: What inspired you to go into burlesque and to do pinup modeling?
A: Pinup modeling makes sense for me to do since my body type is well-suited for it. I have no problems at all with size 0 super models. I respect all ladies no matter what size or shape, but I do know that it's important to use what you've got and what I have is a voluptuously vintage body so that's the kind of modeling I do. I also think the cheeky aspect of it really suits my personality as well. As for burlesque it is an easy transition form the world of pinup modeling as so much of the styling is the same. I love being on stage and making fabulous costumes, I actually got my start as a costume designer, and since I love the skin I'm in why not throw some glitter on it and show it off?
Q: When did you get the idea for the Pretty Things Peepshow? How did it begin?
A: I had been working as a solo burlesque performer for a while and I got hired by a sideshow called The Brothers Grim Sideshow. I fell in love with all the variety acts but wanted to add the sparkle and shine of burlesque to them and that's basically the idea behind The Pretty Things Peepshow. I also met several of our current performers on that show, too.
Q: How did your experience in burlesque and sideshows influence the content of the Pretty Things Peepshow?
A: I learned everything I know from Ken Harck, The owner of The Brother's Grim Sideshow. He taught what to do and I also learned what not to do. Touring with that show really opened my eyes to a lot of things and this show wouldn't be around today if they hadn't hired me all those years ago.
Q: What can the audience expect from the show?
A: The audience can expect to be entertained by an amazing group of people who are really passionate about what they do. We will have dangerous, funny, sexy and skillful acts in this show plus live music by our new house band The Peepin' Toms. There's a little something for everyone and a whole lot of fun in our show!
On Feb. 6 at 6 p.m., go-go Amy will be teaching a 90-minute vintage hair and make-up class. The class is $30 and those interested can purchase tickets online. The class also accepts walk-ins. For more information about the show or the class, visit www.prettythingsacademy.com.
The peepshow will begin at 9 p.m. Tickets are $12 for an individual ticket and $20 for a both-night package. The Galaxy Lounge is located on 216 E. Main St. in Johnson City.

The Art Of Selling Stocks 0 commentsDec 11, 2013 5:00 AM | about stocks: AAPL
Please note - this is not a missive to advise you to sell all your stocks. If you read my thoughts on the taper yesterday, you'll know that I believe any selloff on taper fears is a buying opportunity.
Today we're going to talk about the "art of selling." No, not the Donald Trump art of "selling" - I'm referring to the art of selling your stocks at the right point to maximize profits and minimize losses.
Trading is about honesty. It's about finding the truth within ourselves through a constant process that forces you to make difficult decisions about your future. You are deciding on your future because the decisions you make as a trader impact your lifestyle.
The main difference between a losing trader and a "master of the universe" is that the winning trader is skilled at knowing how (and when) to sell for a loss or a gain. In the same way expert poker players know when to hold'em or when to fold'em. I don't believe this to be an innate skill, but can be learned by anyone with plenty of practice and a willingness to change their approach.
For now, let's focus on taking losses…
The importance of taking a loss and moving on is neatly summed up by trading legend Larry Livermore in "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator…
Losing money is the least of my troubles. A loss never troubles me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong - not taking the loss - that is what does the damage to the pocket book and to the soul.
As price starts to decline, rationalizing starts to increase, and the "troubles" compound into worse problems. And that's why it's psychologically more difficult to sell for a large loss rather than a small one. Bad traders will continue telling themselves, "Well, I held for this long. Might as well see it through now."
Bad traders are not only unable to see the truth, but also afraid to face it. They begin to justify price action and hope that the stock miraculously comes back.
My old boss at Salomon Brother once told me, "If you feel yourself hoping the trade comes back in your favor, immediately sell half." Hope is a trader's worst enemy.
Selling early and often for a loss will leave you in a better position to make better decisions. If you're holding and hoping, you are allowing emotion to overcome your decision-making process. Stop making excuses for bad behaviors.
Another understanding of why selling for a loss can be difficult comes from BF Skinner's work on positive reinforcement. We buy something, it goes higher, and you get a reward for holding. If investors are rewarded for holding, they are more likely to try and hold again in another trade.
Let's look at how this applies to stocks…
This is a 2 year chart of AAPL. You can see on the left side of this chart how AAPL went straight up from $400 to $650. Investors were rewarded for holding.
Now look at how much longer the selloff back to $400 took. Buyers of AAPL didn't give up hoping that the stock would return to $700 because they were so heavily rewarded on the way up. They rationalized price action on the way down, in lieu of observing stop-losses. This led to a longer drawn-out period of sell-offs and bounces.

The physico-chemical history of Falling Evaporating Bodies around Pictoris: investigating the presence of volatilesC. Karmann1, H. Beust1 and J. Klinger2
1 Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de l'Observatoire de Grenoble, Université J. Fourier, BP 53, 38041 Grenoble Cedex 9, France
2 Laboratoire de Planetologie de Grenoble, Université J. Fourier, BP 53, 38041 Grenoble Cedex 9, France
(Received 22 December 2000 / Accepted 12 March 2001)
Transient spectral absorption events have been monitored for many years toward the star Pictoris and have been interpreted as resulting from the transit across the line of sight of evaporating comet-sized bodies (Falling Evaporating Bodies, or FEBs). The model shows that these bodies come from circular orbits at AU, becoming star-grazers due to planetary perturbations. The physics of the evaporation of those bodies is widely influenced by their physico-chemical properties, especially the presence of volatile matter. We investigate here this question from a modeling point of view, adapting for that case the models designed for solar comets. We simulate the physico-chemical evolution of the FEB progenitors on circular orbits for a time comparable to the supposed age of Pic, and constrain the quantity of volatiles present in them in relationship with its age and to the semi-major axis of the orbits. We also constrain this semi-major axis by investigating its influence on the dynamical model of FEB generation by planetary perturbations, and show that it is probably less than ~10 AU. Finally, we show that demanding the FEB progenitors to be icy in a major part of their volume at those distances is probably an unrealistic constraint, and that they more likely look like asteroids with perhaps a small icy nucleus rather than fully icy comets. This result leads to a revision of the FEB evaporation model that has been assumed up to now.
Key words: stars: Pic -- methods: numerical -- comets: general -- stars: circumstellar matter -- planetary systems: formation
