I used to be a student at Lassen College and now I'm returning. Anything I should know?
If you have previously taken classes here at Lassen College, you are probably already in our system and have a student ID number. However, you will need to complete our new online application in order to update your information before you will be able to register for classes.

Although there are specific requirements a high school student must meet before they can take certain classes, it is possible for students to take college courses at Lassen College while still in high school. More information is available on the Special Admit section of the Admission and Records page. Or you can always talk to your HS counselor, or stop by the LCC Counseling Office.
Another option for high school students is EARNING COLLEGE CREDIT FOR HIGH SCHOOL COURSEWORK. Through the Career Technical Education (CTE)/Transitions program (formerly called 2+2), high school students have the opportunity to receive Lassen Community College credits for taking an approved technical education class at their high school.

I don't know what to major in. What degrees and certificates does Lassen College offer?
Many students do not know exactly what they would like to study when they begin college. Visiting the Counseling Office and meeting with a counselor is a great first step. Checking out this list of degrees can also get you started. LCC DEGREES/CERTS Another good resource is the Lassen College Catalog. Available in the Lassen College bookstore, as well as on the website, the catalog provides a wealth of information about all our degrees and certificates, all the classes we offer including course descriptions, as well as many important programs, policies and procedures here at Lassen. It is a valuable resource that every student should utilize. CURRENT CATALOG You can also check out the curriculum cards we have available on the wall outside the Counseling Office.

Apple sold nearly seven million more iPhones during its fourth quarter, but total revenue growth was up only 4.2% and profits were below prior year levels.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended September 28, increased to $37.5 billion from $36 billion while net income declined to $7.5 billion, or $8.26 a share, from net income of $8.2 billion, or $8.67 a share. The company's gross margins also took a hit, declining to 37% of sales from 40% in the year ago period.
The company sold a record 33.8 million iPhones during the fourth quarter compared to 26.9 million in the year ago quarter. Growth of iPads was anemic however with sales of 14.1 million iPads up marginally from 14 million last year. Sales of Macs declined to 4.6 million units from 4.9 million.
The lack of growth, compressed margins and drop in profitability didn't discourage Apple CEO Tim Cook and the company said it expects to see strong holiday sales.
"We're pleased to report a strong finish to an amazing year with record fourth quarter revenue, including sales of almost 34 million iPhones," Cook said. "We're excited to go into the holidays with our new iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, iOS 7, the new iPad mini with Retina Display and the incredibly thin and light iPad Air, new MacBook Pros, the radical new Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks and the next generation iWork and iLife apps for OS X and iOS."
The company also announced plans to give shareholders and early gift, announcing a $3.05 a share dividend to shareholders of record on November 11.
"We generated $9.9 billion in cash flow from operations and returned an additional $7.8 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the September quarter, bringing cumulative payments under our capital return program to $36 billion," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO.
For the company's first quarter which includes the holiday season, Apple said it expects sales to total between $55 billion and $58 billion and gross margins in the range of 36.5% and 37%.

ROSEMONT, Ill.— Metabolic syndrome poses a significant public health threat in the United States. Affecting over one-third of American adults, it is a cluster of symptoms that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes and accounts for billions of dollars of health care costs annually. Research has associated dairy consumption with a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome and its related diseases. A new scientific review, published in Advances in Nutrition, discusses how components of dairy's unique nutrient package may account for dairy's positive effects. The review was authored by research scientists at the Dairy Research Institute®, an organization founded under the leadership of dairy farmers who have a commitment to product, nutrition and sustainability research.
Dairy foods are an important source of key nutrients, contributing 50 percent of calcium and more than 10 percent of magnesium and potassium, and milk is the number one food source of calcium, vitamin D and potassium in the American diet.[1] This research review reported that these and other components within dairy, specifically milkfat and whey proteins, together may help regulate one or more elements of metabolic syndrome, including, blood pressure, fasting glucose levels, the makeup of fats in the blood and body composition.[2]
"Dairy is a great example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. This review provides further evidence that it's the components in dairy working together that provide nutrition and health benefits, in this case, related to improved metabolic health," said Beth H. Rice, Ph.D., lead author of the review article and manager of scientific affairs for the Dairy Research Institute and the National Dairy Council®. "Although more research is needed to confirm the potential benefits related to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, this research does reinforce for the dairy industry the need to communicate the value of dairy's nutrient package and its distinguishable contributions to consumer health and wellness."
The review highlights recent studies that show dairy protein provides wellness benefits. Some of these findings have indicated that dairy protein, specifically whey protein, may be associated with beneficial changes in body composition when accompanied by routine resistance exercise. Whey protein is regarded as a "fast" protein because it is rapidly digested, allowing for quick delivery of amino acids to muscle. It is also one of the highest sources of essential amino acids, leucine in particular, which is uniquely recognized as an activator of muscle protein synthesis and believed to have an overall beneficial effect on muscle metabolism.
"Whey protein in particular is an asset to dairy's nutrient package. Its ability to impact body composition and potentially impact risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome are an important benefit to dairy consumption," said Gregory Miller, Ph.D., president of the Dairy Research Institute. "Further research on the mechanisms of whey protein involved with body composition benefits, specifically when compared to other dietary proteins, could strengthen our understanding of dairy's role in reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome."

Hey, just wondering which laptop you guys would reccommend.
I would go for the Lenovo B570.
It has more bang for the buck.
Good Luck.
Bang for the buck is great, but if you want to keep it for more than a few years go with the IBM. They are built to last.
They are more business class and will hold up to a little more banging around. The usb ports and mousepad won't break as quickly.
But if it's not too much more spring for a dell Latitude. I have had a D620 and now have a Latitude E6400 ATG. It's ruggedized and has a bullet proof display.
I've had toshiba, sony, gateway, Acer and asus in past. But after owning a dell laptop I will never buy anything else again. They are built to last.
That's what i was thinking too, and i really like the finger swipe login. Thanks!
When you get a new computer it is best to make the recovery disks First Thing.
Have DVDs or some kind of backup available to completely back up the Original system.
That is the best way to make sure your backup software matches Your New Computers Hardware.
That saves not being able to get the correct drivers for your hardware, and you don't have to licenses the Windows OS software again.
Hardware can vary depending on the production run. That can change day to day for many manufactures.
The Lenovo B570 has a good OS, out of the box.

(points, plus first-place votes in parantheses)

About the Poll
The HeismanPundit.com Heisman Poll is made up of 13 Heisman voters from across the country. They vote for five players each week. Tabulations are made on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis, with five points awarded for a first-place vote, four points for a second-place vote and so on. Last year's final Heismanpundit poll was the most accurate in the country, picking five of the top six finishers in the Heisman vote, including the winner.
Members of the panel include: Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel, Teddy Greenstein and Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune, Olin Buchanan and Tom Dienhart of Rivals.com, Jenni Carlson of The Oklahoman, Bruce Feldman of ESPN.com, J.B. Morris of ESPN the Magazine, Austin Murphy, B.J. Schecter and Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated, plus Dick Weiss of the New York Daily News.
Chris Huston, owner of Heismanpundit.com, coordinates and also votes in the weekly poll.
From a Voter
"They may not have the most eye-popping numbers to date — especially since they've played one less game than a lot of the other contenders — but Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy are running the best teams and still performing at a high level. Tony Pike is in that same category. The numbers of Jimmy Clausen and Toby Gerhardt are just too significant to ignore, even if the overall team success hasn't quite validated either Notre Dame or Stanford as among the nation's elite. But then, both players will have chances for signature games soon enough, especially when Clausen stares down the USC defense in a couple weeks." — a Heisman voter.
Heisman Game of the Week
No. 1 Florida at No. 4 LSU. High stakes here, as always. The Tigers might be Florida's biggest obstacle to an undefeated regular season. So will Tebow play or won't he? That is the question. If he plays and leads Florida to a victory, it will add another chapter to his amazing legacy and his end reward could be that elusive second Heisman. If he doesn't play, or performs poorly in a loss, then his Heisman hopes will fade considerably.
Player to Watch
Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford. Who would've thought the top running back on the West Coast might end up coming from the other side of the San Francisco Bay? The 6-1, 240-pound Gerhart is fourth in the nation in rushing and embodies Stanford's newly-discovered, blue-collar style under head coach Jim Harbaugh. With no other running backs in the race, Gerhart could make a late-season run at the trophy.
This Week in Heisman History
Quarterback Jim Plunkett completed 19 of 31 passes for 276 yards and one touchdown (a 50-yarder to tight end Bob Moore) as No. 12 Stanford upset No. 4 USC in 1970, ending the Trojans' 25-game regular-season unbeaten streak. Plunkett later beat out Notre Dame's Joe Theismann for the Heisman and then led the Indians to a stunning 27-17 win over undefeated Ohio State in the 1971 Rose Bowl.

So fervent is the interest in Jim and John Harbaugh right now that the rest of the family -- parents Jack and Jackie, and sister Joani -- held a Super Bowl conference call Thursday. The most probing reporter's question came via "John from Baltimore."
"Is it true that both of you liked Jim better than John?"
Stunned silence finally gave way to laughter.
Yep, it was John Harbaugh. Joani recognized the voice just as Mom was "ready to come right through this phone," Jack said.
"That's the fighting spirit," John from Baltimore said.
And that's the Harbaugh family. Tempting as it is to dismiss the brotherly angle as an over-hyped distraction to Super Bowl XLVII -- as Jim has tried to do -- the funny tales about the boys' upbringing go a long way to explaining just how the 49ers and Baltimore Ravens ended up here.
They paint a vivid portrait of how two hypercompetitive brothers with contrasting personalities -- the volatile Jim, the personable John -- set out on different paths only to arrive at the same destination.
Stories from the family and those close to them show that, and they take us to the root of this family tree.
• For the record: No, the parents don't like Jim best. "I know one is going to win and one is going to lose, but I would like for it to end in a tie," Jackie said. "Can the NFL do that?"
Nope, sorry.
As with Jim and John's previous meeting, there will be equal parts happiness and heartache. Last Thanksgiving, in the first meeting between NFL head coaching brothers, the Ravens thumped the 49ers 16-6.
When it was over, the parents first walked to Baltimore's locker room and found a raging celebration.
"I thought, 'We're really not needed here,' " Jack recalled. "So we walked across the hall into the 49ers locker room. It was quiet and somber. I finally saw Jim all by himself, nobody around him. He still had his coaching stuff on. I realized that's where we were needed. That was thrill of victory and agony of defeat, and I know we're going to experience that next week."
• The road to the Super Bowl was not a straight line. The Harbaughs had an itinerant life, moving 17 times during Jack's 43-year coaching career.
That was fine with Jim, who once informed his dad that he was ready to move after two years in Iowa because he had run out of friends.
Still, a lesson from Iowa left an imprint. Jack recalled taking the boys to elementary school on a cold winter day and turning around to see his boys shivering in the back seat.
"I saw their faces, their sad, sad faces," Jack said. "And our thing was: 'We will attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind! And oh, by the way, don't take any wooden nickels.' "
The wooden nickel part is long gone, but "Attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind!" is a staple in the 49ers' locker room. It was one of the first things Jim Harbaugh said when introduced as the team's new head coach.
Jack called the boys' decisions to choose coaching careers even after seeing the strain it can take at times, "the greatest joy" of his life.
• At youth hockey games, Jackie began sitting away from other parents because her boys kept plowing over other kids. As a youth pitcher, Jim once plunked a girl in the back -- bringing her angry mother onto the field to accuse Jim of being a bully.
"She was crowding the plate," young Jim reasoned.
Jackie eventually got called into the elementary school in Ann Arbor, Mich. There were complaints from parents about both, though mostly Jim, playing too hard at recess.
"Jackie told (school officials): 'You do everything in your power to make sure he's a good sportsman out there. But don't do anything to affect his competitiveness,' " Jack remembered.
That sounds exactly like Jackie, said Willie Taggart, a family friend who is the University of South Florida football coach.
"Jackie is really the head coach of the Harbaughs," he said. "I think even Jack gets his competitiveness from Jackie. She is just tough, and that rubs off on everyone else."
• Heaven was going to Dad's practices. At the University of Michigan, the brothers were taped to the goal posts and stuffed in lockers by players, and loved it. They collected used wristbands and would write No. 7 on them -- the number of Wolverines star quarterback Rick Leach -- and sold them to gullible classmates for a buck.
One day, Jim cavalierly risked the wrath of the legendary gruff Michigan coach Bo Schembechler.
"When people ask what the difference was between Jim and John, Jack always tells the story about when they were 9 and 10," said David Elson, an assistant under Jack and now the New Mexico State defensive coordinator. "The staff was coming off the field and John was right there waiting where he was supposed to be. But they couldn't find Jim.
"So they walk into Bo's office and there's Jim sitting in Bo's chair with his feet up on Bo's desk and he says, 'Hey, Bo, how are you doing?' That's Jim. He has a little more of a devil in him than John."
• In 1992, Jack's Western Kentucky program barely survived being disbanded. Funding was slashed, scholarships were dropped and two assistants were cut. Jack was ready to resign when the sons concocted a plan.
John, then a University of Cincinnati assistant, began drawing up two recruiting lists: one for his school and one for his dad's Division I-AA program. Jim, still an NFL player, became an unpaid assistant.
"Sometimes these boxes of stuff would just show up from Indianapolis," Elson recalled. "They'd be filled with once-worn cleats and pads that Jim would collect from the guys in the Colts' locker room because our budget was so bad and he knew our guys needed stuff."
Taggart was a high school star when he was told Jim Harbaugh wanted to visit him. "The NFL quarterback? Yeah, right," Taggart thought. But Taggart would be Jim's first recruit for his dad, and later Western Kentucky would win the 2002 I-AA national title.
"They didn't want Dad to give up football," Taggart said, "and they made sure he didn't."
• The brothers played one season together at Pioneer High in Ann Arbor.
"They could have a love-hate thing going," teammate Greg Yarrington said. "There were days on the field when they hated each other. But after practice they would be brothers again."
John was supposed to be the quarterback his senior year -- until the coaches got a good look at sophomore Jim.
"John was so gracious about it," said Yarrington, now a health care company vice president. "I remember the rest of the team wasn't receptive because let's just say Jim had a heightened sense of self-confidence. But John rationalized it and made sure the rest of us were OK with it, too."
• Jim, in contrast to his older brother, was never gracious about losing.
When Jack joined the Stanford staff, Jim immediately became a football star at Palo Alto High. His junior year, the team won a league title but was upset in a rivalry game to end the season. Reid Johnson was Jim's favorite receiving target, and his father drove them home afterward.
"My son was sitting in the passenger seat and saying, 'Well, we already won the championship and that's what really counts,' " recalled Pitch Johnson, an independent venture capitalist. "Well then Jim leans over from the back seat and says: 'Reid, don't you ever say that again.' "
• Little sister Joani -- five years younger than Jim, six years younger than John -- could hot-splice game tape by age 10. She was no jock, but she was as competitive as any of them.
She was once cast in the school play as a munchkin from "The Wizard of Oz."
"I was highly, highly offended," Joani said, laughing. "I do remember that I was not Dorothy or Glinda, so I decided to memorize the entire play in case somebody went down with the flu or something. They could just put me in there. I was ready to do it."
With that, Joani and her parents helped fans understand a little more about the men behind the curtain.

It's basically a cheesecake, said the woman next to me. She was right. The Baked Lemon Ricotta is sold by the pound ($13.99/lb) at Murray's Cheese. It's texturally light (almost feathery!) but intense in flavor, demanding a side of sweet berries and hot black tea. The cheesy "dessert" is composed of three ingredients: buffalo milk ricotta, sugar, and fresh lemon. Creamy and tart with just a hint of sweetness.

Ten years after his death, Pat Tillman's spirit lives on in a military scholar program
By MARK EMMONS | San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News | Published: April 19, 2014
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Ten years after the death of Pat Tillman in a remote Afghanistan pass, monuments to his memory are everywhere.
A stone marker in San Jose's community of New Almaden. An 8-foot statue in Glendale, Ariz. The Pat Tillman Stadium at Leland High School and the Tillman Tunnel that Arizona State football players run through.
But the most fitting tributes to an admired man are not found in concrete and bronze. They are living legacies of flesh, blood and passion — the Tillman Military Scholars.
Nearly 300 active-duty service members, veterans and spouses inspired by Tillman's story have received college scholarships with the hope they will create a ripple effect that makes the world a bit better.
"We don't know what Pat would have done if he had lived, but I imagine he would have continued to serve for the rest of his life," said Adrian Kinsella, a Marine captain who attends the UC Berkeley School of Law. "That's what all of the Tillman scholars feel like we have to do. Every day I ask: 'Am I living up to Pat's ideal?' "
The San Jose native remains the best-known soldier of the post-9/11 era — an enduring symbol of selfless patriotism for putting an NFL career on hold to enlist in the U.S. Army, and then making the ultimate sacrifice for his country.
And the driving force of the scholars program is Marie Tillman, who found a way to ensure that something positive emerged from the devastating heartache of her husband's death on April 22, 2004.
"The 10-year anniversary really is shocking for me," said Marie Tillman, the president of the Pat Tillman Foundation. "In many ways it feels like it just happened yesterday, even if at the same time it seems like a lifetime ago. It took me a long time to realize that I not only had an opportunity to do something good in Pat's name, but that it also was a responsibility.
"It has become hugely fulfilling to invest in people who are so similar to the way Pat lived his life."
His spirit is represented in the Tillman scholars. Some are studying to become doctors, lawyers or social workers. Others work in high tech, public policy and education. Their common bond: A desire for service.
Kinsella, 28, who was deployed in Afghanistan and plans to become a prosecutor, made headlines earlier this year by cutting through red tape to obtain a U.S. visa for his interpreter, Mohammad, who now is his roommate.
Brian Loftus, a former San Jose cop who did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as an Air Force security forces officer, intends to create a network of Bay Area bilingual attorneys who can ease the mistrust non-English-speaking immigrants may have about the legal system.
Tim Hsia, an Army Reserves captain who served twice in Iraq and will graduate in June from Stanford with law and MBA degrees, has helped launch a nonprofit called Service to School that aids veterans with the college admission process.
"What happened to Pat was super-tragic and super-sad," Hsia said. "Marie and the whole Tillman family had every right to be angry and resentful because of the way the military handled everything after his death. Instead, look what they've done. Something wonderful has been created."
About 2.6 million Americans have served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars — less than 1 percent of the U.S. population. Perhaps that's why the conflicts could seem so removed from public consciousness. But while most didn't personally know someone in harm's way, it was nearly impossible not to know of Tillman.
He was a free-spirit who defied stereotypes. Tillman wore his hair long and played football with reckless abandon, but also was a deep thinker and academic All-American at ASU.
Tillman was an overachieving safety with the Arizona Cardinals when he made the jaw-dropping decision to trade uniforms — rejecting a $3.6 million contract offer and the fame that comes with being a professional athlete — to be just another soldier with his younger brother, Kevin. He never talked publicly about his motivations and rebuffed all attempts by the military to showcase him.
Erik Wittreich, who spent 36 months in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Army Green Berets, just happened to try on boots next to Tillman during their basic training.
"I remember how everyone was whispering as he was walking down a hallway, saying, 'There he is,' " said Wittreich, 34, a Tillman Scholar at Stanford's Graduate School of Business.
For the country, Tillman's shocking loss, at age 27, brought the wars home.
The circumstances of his death would only make the anguish more pronounced. Tillman initially was portrayed as a casualty in a mountain ambush. It was only weeks later — long after a nationally televised memorial service — that the military admitted the Army Ranger actually had been killed as a result of friendly fire.
As the years passed, Marie Tillman, who had attended Leland with Pat, was struck by news reports about the difficulty returning veterans sometimes had transitioning back into civilian life. She decided to refocus the fledgling Pat Tillman Foundation to help address that.
"My experience was that military people have a strong sense of service, in and out of uniform," said Marie Tillman, who lives in Chicago and is remarried with two children of her own and three stepsons. "These people have the values of wanting to contribute."
The scholars, in turn, are in awe of Tillman.
Neal Rickner, who served three tours in Iraq as a Marine fighter pilot, said he long has been skeptical of the celebrity culture and always wondered if Tillman's Army enlistment had started as some kind of publicity stunt.
"But as I came to learn more about Pat, I realized just how wrong I was and that he was polar opposite of that life," said Rickner, 40, who works at Google and is the producer of a new documentary about the military-civilian divide in America. "On a pretty regular basis, I'll be facing some challenge and think about what Pat would do. And I just know he would stand by his convictions, and not conform to other people's expectations."
So far, the foundation has helped 290 men and women attend 85 universities, giving $4.6 million in support — largely from the annual Pat's Run fundraiser race, which will be held in Tempe, Ariz., on April 26. Another class of as many as 60 scholars will be named next month from a pool of more than 2,600 applicants nationwide. The process has become selective to the point of agonizing, said Alex Garwood, Tillman's brother-in-law and foundation co-founder.
"Last year we had a Navy SEAL corpsman who had done countless tours," said Garwood, who works at a Silicon Valley data storage firm. "He hadn't been able to save everyone, and now he wanted to become a doctor so he could save more lives. Well, he was the last to be cut. Think about that, and how good the people must be who were named scholars."
The program alleviates some of the crushing debt of college and better allows the scholars to pursue their dreams after school. But, they say, something deeper is at work.
"He already is a legend," Hsia said. "But his lasting impact might not be felt for 20 or 30 years. That's when we can take measure of all the amazing things done by this group who all are linked to one person."
Pat Tillman.
Pat Tillman timeline
Nov. 6, 1976: Born in Fremont
Fall 1993: Starred on Leland High School football team that won Central Coast Section title.
1994: Graduated from Leland and enrolled at Arizona State, one of just three major colleges to recruit him. Tillman famously told then-Coach Bruce Snyder that the Sun Devils could redshirt him as a freshman if they wanted, but he still was only spending four years at the school "and then I've got things to do with my life." They didn't, and he would earn a marketing degree in 3½ years with a 3.84 grade-point average, becoming an academic All-American.
Fall 1997: Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year.
1998: Seventh-round NFL draft pick (226th pick overall) of Arizona Cardinals and quickly established himself as a standout safety despite his modest 5-foot-11, 200-pound stature.
2000: Sports Illustrated writer Paul Zimmerman named Tillman to his NFL All-Pro team after a 155-tackle season.
September 2001: Shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Tillman gave an interview with NFL Films, describing how unimportant playing football suddenly seemed to him. "My great-grandfather was at Pearl Harbor and a lot of my family has gone and fought in wars," he said. "And I really haven't done a damn thing as far as laying myself on the line like that."
May 2002: Turned down a three-year, $3.6-million contract offer from the Cardinals in order to enlist in the U.S. Army for three years with his younger brother, Kevin. Their starting base pay was $1,290 a month. Tillman had just returned from his honeymoon with wife, Marie.
2003: The brothers were part of the initial invasion of Iraq and then attended Ranger School. Tillman turned down the chance to leave the Army early and return to the NFL.
April 22, 2004: Died in Afghanistan during a firefight that initially was portrayed as a mountain ambush by Taliban insurgents. But investigations later determined the military hierarchy had known immediately that it actually was a tragic case of friendly fire and he was accidentally killed by fellow Rangers. That fact was not released until weeks after his death, resulting in accusations by family members that there had been an attempt to conceal the truth. Tillman posthumously was promoted from specialist to corporal, and received Silver Star and Purple Heart medals. He was the first recently active professional football player killed in combat since Buffalo Bills lineman Bob Kalsu died in Vietnam in 1970.
May 3, 2004: About 3,000 mourners gathered at the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden for a memorial service that was televised live on ESPN. "While many of us will be blessed to live a longer life, few of us will ever live a better one," said Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona. "He was a most honorable man."
2004: The Pat Tillman Foundation was created.
2008: The foundation was refocused to provide scholarships for active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses. The program now is affiliated with 85 universities and has produced 290 Tillman Military Scholars. As many as 60 more will be named in May.
2010: Inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
April 26, 2014: Annual Pat's Run will be held in Tempe, Ariz., expecting to draw about 30,000 entrants, with 4.2 mile "shadow runs" occurring across the country, including in San Jose and San Francisco. The events benefit the scholarship program.

'Our inability really, to kill a penalty at the start of the third period in Boston, I thought hurt us. Our strength during the year was playing with the lead and how well we played with the lead. We made some errors that allowed Boston some momentum in this series. I don't think it had anything to do with bigger or stronger. I thought physically we were fine in that series. I actually thought we were the harder team.'

There are several reasons to number the postings. Probably the most useful reason is to aid in retrieval. For example, in longer threads I sometimes have to leave and return at a later time to finish. If the postings were numbered, I could keep better track of my progress without a whole lot of rereading to find my place.
Blake, I really love this forum and the Instructional Articles. Thanks.

Paul McCartney wanted to savor the moment.
"This is such a cool event," he said to the 50,000 fans assembled before him at San Francisco's Candlestick Park on Thursday. "I'm just going to take a minute for myself just to drink it all in."
There was certainly much to take in - most notably, the undeniable sense that we were witnessing a historic occasion. For this was not just another concert, but rather the final one to ever be performed at the equally storied and maligned venue.
McCartney's "Farewell to Candlestick" concert was a beautiful way to say goodbye to an old friend, one that had provided so many chills (literally speaking) and thrills during its 54-year history. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer delivered some 40 songs during the final public event at the famously windy, cold and antiquated building, taking fans on a magical musical tour of his Beatles, Wings and solo catalogs.
Of course, McCartney was the perfect candidate to turn out the lights at the 'Stick. He was returning to the scene of the Beatles final concert, which happened 48 years to the month earlier -- on Aug. 29, 1966. No wonder he said he felt a bit of "deja vu" as he stood onstage at the soon-to-be-demolished former home of San Francisco's 49ers and Giants.
"It's sad to see the old place close down," he said. "But we are going to close it down in style."
Mission accomplished -- and then some. McCartney and his band sounded fantastic as they performed an approximately 2 ?-hour set built from dozens of the greatest songs in rock 'n' roll history. The troupe opened with a stellar version of "Eight Days a Week," from 1964's "Beatles for Sale," and was still going strong come encore time.
The evening was thick with nostalgia, but only part of it had to do with the music.
The wind whispered throughout the night, reviving memories from the stadium's mighty sports history. Fans, clad in Giants hats and 49ers sweatshirts, seemed well aware that they were standing in this house of past champions for the final time. Thus, for some, this "Farewell to Candlestick" was as much about reconnecting with Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Willie Mays, Steve Young and Willie McCovey as much as it was about reliving the tunes of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
The mood was a mix of joy and sadness. For decades, people have complained about this venue's shortcomings, which include the bad traffic, the cold weather, the crowded concourses and the outdated facilities, all of which were on full display on Thursday. In the end, however, many also seemed sorry to see it go. (They might get over that feeling real quick once they get a look at the 49ers fancy new digs in Santa Clara -- Levi's Stadium.)
Yet, the joy definitely triumphed on this night. McCartney made sure of that.
The 72-year-old Liverpool native hasn't changed his show all that much in recent years. He's still telling many of the same stories and offering up similar set lists to what fans witnessed on his prior trips through the Bay Area, such as at last year's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.
But why monkey with something that works? He simply plays the hits -- and plays them well -- while exhibiting an amazing amount of energy and charisma onstage. He does more to give the fans their money's worth than just about any other entertainer in the game. He's the rare performer with really nothing left to prove, who still handles each and every song like his legacy depends on it.
McCartney thrilled at basically every turn, whether he was crooning such touching ballads as "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "The Long and Winding Road" or rocking through up-tempo offerings like "Lovely Rita" and "Paperback Writer." The main set climaxed with a fabulous "Live and Let Die," which came complete with a fireworks show, and the ultimate singalong favorite, "Hey Jude." He'd then return for two lengthy encores.
It was a potent swan song for Candlestick, sending this historic venue out in style.

Learning how to use QuickBooks to its full potential goes far beyond learning the basic features of the program. Even many experienced QuickBooks users often struggle when applying certain business situations to QuickBooks. In this course, we'll go beyond the basic introductory concepts and you'll learn how to utilize many of the more advanced features and applications.
You'll learn how to manage multiple company files and how to export and import list data from one file to the next. If your business handles inventory, you'll learn how to enter price levels and track discounts and credits. You'll even learn how to enter and track mileage that you incur on any vehicles that you use in your business.
This course also covers many other common topics that small business owners encounter. You'll learn how to create customer statements, assess finance charges on overdue balances, and write off these past due balances when it appears that the customer is not going to pay.
Lastly, you'll learn how to enter common transactions that occur between the owner and the business, including when the owner takes money out of the business or invests new capital. You'll even learn how to make journal entries to deal with those difficult situations when you may pay for a business transaction using personal cash. The course concludes with a discussion of how to track loans and how to use the budgeting feature to better plan and control your business.
This course is designed for those QuickBooks users who already feel that they have a good grasp on the basics or have successfully completed the Introduction to QuickBooks course. Whether you are a small business owner, bookkeeper, or accountant needing a QuickBooks refresher, after taking this course, you'll feel more confident and secure in accounting for your business.
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
Lists form the backbone of QuickBooks. In this lesson, you'll explore how to add and edit multiple list items. You'll also learn how to create class items to further categorize transactions. Finally, you'll discover how to enter inventory part items and how to combine these items to build inventory assemblies.
Tracking inventory in QuickBooks is a multi-step process. In this lesson, you'll learn how to enter and use Sales Orders to keep track of customer orders. We'll go over how to create Purchase Orders that you can either print or email to your vendors to order more inventory when you need it. And to help you keep track of it all, we'll discuss how to use the Inventory Center in QuickBooks to quickly view inventory transactions, edit items, and produce some amazing reports.
If you work with the same vendors over and over again, you may receive discounts and earn credits. In this lesson, you'll learn how to record these discounts. You'll also learn how to enter and manage vendor credits when they arise. Finally, you'll gain the skills you need to adjust your inventory balance should it get out of sync with your actual in-stock inventory.
If you ever have to travel by car to a job site or project, you may want to track the vehicle mileage so that you can later deduct it on your tax return. In this lesson, you'll learn how to enter this mileage and the rate the IRS allows for a deduction. You'll also learn how to create some great reports that you can use as support for your tax return. Last, you'll find out how to bill a customer for the mileage you've incurred, even if it's at a different rate than the IRS allows.
Sometimes you may need to bill a customer without the need to create a full-blown invoice or sales receipt. In this lesson, you'll learn how to create a statement charge directly to a customer's account. You'll also learn how to easily change the price of multiple sales items using QuickBooks' Change Item Prices feature. Last, if a customer is late to pay on an invoice, you'll learn how to assess a finance charge and how to write the balance off the books if the customer ultimately fails to pay.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to utilize QuickBooks' batch invoicing features to create multiple invoices at the same time to send to any of your customers on your customer list. You'll also learn how to set up billing groups that you can use over and over again to send recurring invoices. In the second half of the lesson, you'll explore how to modify a letter template and then create a form letter that you can send to your customers or vendors. You'll even learn how to create and print envelopes and labels based on your customer or vendor information.
Most small businesses carry a small amount of cash on hand to pay for odds and ends. Over time, these small amounts can have a significant impact on your accounting records. In this lesson, you'll learn how you can use QuickBooks to track petty cash amounts. In addition, you're going to learn how to enter the sales of gift cards and certificates. You'll also become proficient in making entries to record when a customer redeems one of these gift cards or certificates.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to record an owner's infusion of capital into the business. You'll also learn how to record transactions where the owner withdraws money from the company's bank account. In addition, you'll examine when and how to use the Make General Journal Entries window to record various entries that don't involve the business bank account, including the times when the owner might use personal funds to pay for a business expense.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to enter a long-term loan in which you use the proceeds of the loan to purchase an asset in your business. You'll then learn how to track this loan using the Loan Manager feature to split apart the principal and interest portions of the loan payment. We'll also dive into the planning and budgeting features built into QuickBooks. By the end of this lesson, you'll see just how easy it is to enter budget data so that you can later evaluate your company's performance using some of QuickBooks' reporting features.

All eyes will be on the election today and enough words will be written on the subject over the next 12 hours that I really do not feel thatI can contribute anything new to the discourse. Instead of looking at the election and alleged related trades and investments based on the outcome, I will concentrate on looking for opportunities in the hedged portfolio strategy I discussed yesterday.
As I mentioned in Monday's column, the hedged results of stocks in the S&P 500 that have dropped 50% and those that are down in the past year and trade below book value have been solid on their own. The un-hedged results have been nothing short of spectacular in the short term, returning far more than the market. It just makes sense that these lists would be a fertile hunting ground for trading and investment ideas.
The strongest performers have been the list of stocks that have dropped 50% in the past year with a return of more than 50% in the past six months. By definition this will be a portfolio of stocks that have stumbled badly and are out of favor. The second portfolio was dominated by coal stocks, which is one of the ugliest sectors of the market. The first one was paced by overleveraged telecoms, including Sprint (S) and Metro PCS (PCS). The portfolio this time may be the poster child of ugly, unloved stocks. As the market has worked higher and indexers and ETF traders have kept a firm bid under S&P 500 components, the stocks that have dropped the most have truly ugly fundamentals. It is also the smallest list so far, with just four names that have dropped by 50% or more in the past 52 weeks. It is their ugliness that gives them a chance to bounce over the next few months, but I would not suggest any of these as anything but a potential trade.
In alphabetical order, our first ugly duckling is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Nothing has gone right for this company the past few years. Intel (INTC) has steadily taken share from the company amid a weak market for their products -- 93% of AMD's revenues come from outside the U.S. Plus, weakness in Europe as well as the desktop market in China has just crushed sales and profits. The graphics chip division has held its own but it's not enough to return the company to a growth trajectory. On top of its basic problems, it has too much debt for a technology name, which makes it difficult for the company to compete in a crowded market. There is absolutely nothing bullish in the prospects for the company. Any good news could cause a strong pop in the stock because 26% of the float is sold short.
A short-covering pop is pretty much the only reason I can see shares of Apollo Group (APOL) gaining ground. I hate the industry and have been short the stock for more than two years now. About 14% of the float is sold short and many short sellers have covered after the recent price declines. New student sign up and total enrollment continue to decline and the trend will not reverse anytime soon. I think the stock will bottom below $10 but there is always the chance of news driven short term bounce in the stock.
Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) is on our list as the company seems to have fallen out of favor with the fickle teen and young adult market. They have slowed growth projections and are limiting new store opens. They have been shareholder friendly with substantial stock buybacks and the stock yields a little over 2%. Not a day goes by that I do not hear a whisper of a private equity or leveraged buyout of this company and the rumors could give the stock a last quarter bounce.
First Solar (FSLR) has been on the list since the start of our little project. The shares are still down 50% -- even after a six-month recovery of more than 35%. Conditions may be improving in the solar business but pricing favors the manufacturers of traditional silicon products over First Solar thin film semiconductors. However, the stock has momentum and continued talk of green energy spending might push the stock higher in the short run.
These are the ugliest ducklings we have seen so far. It will be interesting to see if the winning streak for the biggest loser stocks continues. Traders should be able to find opportunities on both sides of these beaten-down stocks.

THE war-changing efforts of one of the most secret places in the country will be the focus of a new museum.
Defford Airfield Heritage Group and the National Trust at Croome have received £82,900 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to boost the project dedicated to the the people who lived and worked at RAF Defford, near Pershore, in the Second World War.
The wartime museum will sit inside a newly-restored section of Croome's visitor centre, the Decontamination Annexe which was rescued from dereliction by the Severn Waste Environmental Fund
Dr Dennis Williams, the museum's newly appointed custodian, said: "We're incredibly pleased that the Heritage Lottery Fund has decided to award our project the funding we need to create a fantastic experience for Croome's visitors.
"We have been working on the bid this year and it's been a lot of hard work, but we're delighted that our efforts have been fruitful."
Dr Williams, a member of the Defford Airfield Heritage Group, added: "The museum will provide a way of engaging people in what the Air Force was really like in wartime Worcestershire and we're all looking forward to getting the work started."
The new museum will be home to special facilities designed to present an imaginative and stimulating experience for visitors to Croome and will promote further understanding of the war-changing efforts of the workforce at RAF Defford.
One of the most secret places in the country; new radar inventions were developed, tested and installed in aircraft at RAF Defford in the 1940s and the museum will tell the story of the airfield, the development of radar and the 2,500 people who worked there.
It is hoped the museum will be open by the end of September.
An outreach and education programme is an essential part of the project, enabling the story of RAF Defford to be shared with local groups, societies, schools, colleges and universities.
The project will also create a wide range of volunteer roles at Croome to set up and run the museum, carry out historical research, and assist with activities.

Comfortable, appear well made, a little thin so not good for very cold weather.
Not Enough Padding
By Les

See all my reviews
I have two pair of Nashbar Mansfield 2 tights wo/chamois. I love them, they fit well and are warm in the dead of Winter in MI. These were on sale so I thought I would try the Chamois version. They are warm and fit ok, the chamois is awkward between the legs when walking but not a big deal. The padding wasn't good. I wear a pair of Nashbar chamois liners under the other ones and it has more padding. I would buy another pair of these. Good for warmth but padding is weak.
Nice pair of tights. Chamois is comfortable
By beepover
from Ma
Chamois is large enough to give very good comfort. Multidensity is comfortable. I would say good from 42 degrees to 62 degrees. I always like to keep warm so some people might be able to wear the tights at a lower temp. Time will tell on durability, used for only a few rides.
perfect tights for cool weather
By Marc
from Seacoast NH
I've found that reviews which provide detailed information about fit to be the most helpful, so will endeavor to do the same. I am 5'9", 145 lbs, with 30" waist and 32" inseam and am very satisfied with the fit of the small size. The tights are perfect for cool weather rides, and the chamois and drawstring made for very comfortable riding.

Garmin unveiled yesterday at Heli-Expo 2010 the G500H avionics system, specifically for the VFR Part 27 helicopter market.
Jim Alpiser, Garmin's director of aviation aftermarket sales, said the impetus for Garmin's entry to the helicopter market was essentially one of safety. "We saw a need to better serve, based on news about helicopter accidents, particularly those involving controlled flight into terrain [CFIT]. The time has become right for us to ask 'What's that need that we can serve?'"
Gary Kelley, Garmin's marketing vice president, added, "FAA reports have indicated three main areas of operational risks for helicopters: inadvertent flight into IMC, night operations and CFIT. The G500H was designed to proactively address these issues and help reduce situational risk and the challenges that come from a busier airspace. We're serious about safety and we believe our new helicopter products will help make flying safer."
The G500H offers optional synthetic-vision imagery with helicopter-specific databases featuring more than 7,000 heliports, including 5,500 not previously included. Nearly 30,000 additional low-altitude obstacles are included as well. The G500H can also receive and present XM satellite weather and display video from infrared enhanced vision systems and other video sources. The system includes a solid-state attitude/heading reference system (AHRS) and an air-data computer. With its remote magnetic-heading sensor, the AHRS is capable of rapid alignment while moving, including in-flight dynamic restarts. The G500H communicates and integrates with other Garmin panel-mounted products including the GNS 430W/530W series and Garmin's new Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System (HTAWS).
Available as an option on newly purchased GNS 430W/530W systems or as a field upgrade, the HTAWS TSO-C194 software will provide operators with graphical and audible alerts of potential terrain and obstacle conflicts along the projected flight path. Forward-looking terrain avoidance incorporates a multicolor, terrain-hazard display and gives voice alerts when the aircraft descends below 500 feet. The system also provides a reduced-protection mode to give low-level operations minimal alerting while continuing to provide terrain and obstacle protection.
The basic G500H system carries an introductory price of $24,995, which includes a control/display unit, the AHRS and magnetometer, air-data computer and temperature probe. Garmin's helicopter synthetic-vision technology (HSVT) is expected to be available as a G500H option for $7,995. Garmin anticipates FAA STCs for G500H installations on the Bell 206 and 407 in the second quarter of this year. The Olathe, Kan., company plans for its HTAWS to be certified and available in the same time frame for $9,995. The G500H system is on display at Garmin's Heli-Expo exhibit (Booth No. 1417), as well as in a Bell 407, installed by Edwards & Associates, and at the Eurocopter static display in an EC130-B4, installed by Air Methods.
Other Garmin systems that mesh with the G500H include the new GSR 56 Iridium transceiver, the GTS 800, GTS 820 and GTS 850 TAS and TCAS I traffic awareness systems, and SafeTaxi.

Board of Supervisors Discontinues Consideration of Gatehouse II Purchase
Feb. 23, 2009
News Highlights
More Information
At it meeting today, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted to discontinue any further consideration of the Gatehouse II purchase.
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova, who introduced the motion, said that the business plan for Gatehouse II has a number of positive features, including the opportunity to return some school facilities back into classrooms. "However," she said, "an acquisition of an administrative building at this time, while we are struggling with a challenging budget and a volatile and unstable economy, is not in our best interest."
The Gatehouse II proposal was first brought to the board in October 2008. Following discussion in closed session of the potential acquisition, members of the board were concerned about a number of aspects of the proposal, including the relatively narrow margin of savings expected over the long term. The board was briefed on an amended proposal at its Feb. 9 meeting.

If you walk into a store with a lot of fragile objects, you might see a sign that says, "You break it, you own it." Although the pottery barn doesn't have this rule, despite the common misconception, it is a principle firmly ensconced in legal precedent. And by the same reasoning, the fate of the potentially broken California egg industry is now owned by the Humane Society of the United States. Even if you're not in the egg business, the scrambling and the disarray are worth noting.
HSUS was the major funder and promoter of the Proposition 2 campaign in California. HSUS pushed that campaign to require more space for egg layers in spite of research showing that the regulations could bankrupt the state's egg industry—so said UC-Davis agronomists. Promar International, an agricultural research firm, came to a similar conclusion.
In short, HSUS pushed a campaign with the knowledge and obvious intention of driving the state egg farmers out of business. For every job lost in California as a result, HSUS needs to take responsibility.
HSUS might reply that it tried to get national egg standards that would spread the pain across the industry, i.e. the "level-playing-field" argument. That's just a ruse. By increasing production costs for more farmers, it would simply spread the job loss as smaller farms with less access to capital closed because they couldn't afford the federal mandate. There would be losses nationwide instead of just in one state—but that's hardly something to crow about.
At this writing, we are now presented with the following playing field: The federal Egg Bill requiring larger cages hasn't passed; there's Prop 2 compliance uncertainty with an approaching deadline; and there's the possibility of the King amendment passing in Congress, which prevents California from banning out of state eggs from farms not in compliance with CA standards.
If King's amendment passes, we'll be right back to where we were after Prop 2: With an HSUS law that was logically going to result in putting state egg farmers out of business. If that's the case, farmers may move elsewhere.
But let's assume the King Amendment doesn't pass, and that the Egg Bill likewise doesn't pass. Where does that leave Prop 2 and egg farmers both in California and elsewhere?
Right now, that still seems up in the air — thanks, again, to HSUS.
While a state court recently upheld Prop 2, rejecting claims from farmers that the law was unclear, it remains to be seen if further litigation will occur—from HSUS. Since Prop 2, HSUS has been dodgy on just how much space per chicken is required to abide by the law.
This summer, the California Department of Food and Agriculture defined Prop 2 as requiring 116 square-inches per hen. But HSUS has, over the course of the past several years, given differing answers on the square inches it sees as satisfying the law. HSUS claimed in 2010 that it was "crystal clear" that Prop 2 required all farms to go cage-free. Then, this year, HSUS said that 200 squares inches would meet the requirements of Prop 2.
So which is it?
HSUS has told the media that, if the federal egg bill fails, it will as a general rule not accept 116 square-inches as an acceptable housing standard for egg-laying hens. So it's fair to wonder whether, if the egg bill doesn't pass before January 1, 2015, when Prop 2 goes into effect, whether HSUS will challenge the California Department of Food and Agriculture's determination that 116 square-inches is sufficient under Prop 2. (Is your head spinning yet?)
Frankly, there's no reason to think that HSUS won't sue. If it didn't, it would be ceding territory on its own initiative. And the result of a challenge to the CDFA could be damaging to California egg farmers, many of whom have likely already started investing in Prop 2 compliance.
If California tries to enforce the law that applies Prop 2 to anyone trying to sell eggs in the state, litigation will likely be launched in federal court on the grounds that it interferes with interstate commerce. And that will continue the drama for several years. A state may interfere with interstate commerce in limited circumstances when the health of citizens is at risk, and the writers of AB1437 stretched themselves into an argument that eggs produced in non-Prop-2-compliant housing would be a health risk.
But the evidence that larger cage or cage-free eggs are significantly more Salmonella-free is weak at best. It's quite possible that a court could toss the protectionist AB1437. That scenario would leave egg farmers in California where they were right after HSUS successfully passed Prop 2: Screwed, thanks to HSUS.
So what's the lesson here for anyone in the ag community? Don't let HSUS make inroads and get the upper hand. These vegans and their attorney friends will pull out the stops to attack agriculture. Sometimes it's a frontal attack. Sometimes it's through a backdoor approach. In any event, it's important to be proactive and to stay on offense. If you don't, HSUS will happily take the initiative. And they aren't afraid to own the breakage in the industry.

After a debate that included references to "jedi mind tricks" and "a galaxy far, far away," the Colorado Senate on Friday gave initial approval to a bill allowing undocumented immigrants to attend public colleges at the in-state tuition rate.
Under Senate Bill 33, students who graduate from high school and have attended a Colorado school for at least three years would be eligible for the in-state tuition rate regardless of immigration status.
The Senate gave the bill first-round approval on a voice vote, and it now needs a recorded vote before it can go to the House.
Compromise versions of the bill the last two years excluded the undocumented immigrant students from getting something called the College Opportunity Fund scholarship, which is funding sent to all public colleges for each student who gets the in-state rate. But with Democrats back in charge of both chambers of the legislature, the compromise version - which they'd referred to previously as "unsubsidized state tuition" - is out and the subsidy is back in.
An amendment from Democrats to the bill declared that the bill would require no additional appropiation for the College Opportunity Fund. But Republicans called the amendment a dishonest attempt to conceal the costs to taxpayers of the bill.
Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, the chairman of the Joint Budget Committee, argued it was wrong to think of the College Opportunity Fund as a per-pupil subsidy. Steadman said the subsidy was created as an "elaborate fiction" by lawmakers years earlier so that funding for higher education did not exceed revenue limits under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights.
He said the legislature every year decides ahead of time how much money each institution will get under the College Opportunity Fund, and adding more students at colleges doesn't change that formula.
"Each institution is going to get its same percentage regardless of what students enroll where," Steadman said.
But Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, offered his own amendment to label to the Democrats' amendment as a "jedi mind trick."
"This (Democratic) amendment says there are no illegal immigrants here; just move along," Harvey said.
The amendment failed, but the Star Wars references continued.
"It's not those people in a galaxy far, far away who would benefit," said Sen. Jesse Ulibarri, D-Commerce City. "It's those people in our neighborhoods who would benefit."
Even with the fight over potential costs, three Senate Republicans have indicated support for the bill, a historic first, and the bill also could pick up GOP votes in the House. Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, has indicated he will sign the bill.
"I'm of the opinion that this is a very conservative idea," said Sen. Larry Crowder, D-Alamosa, one of the three Senate Republicans in support of the bill.
Crowder said that even though he believed the bill would cost money, it was worth it. He said that taxpayers have invested for years in students who don't have legal status and would be essentially squandering that investment.
Traditional foes of the bill also chimed in.
"It's not some sort of a xenophobic, irrational fear," Sen. Kevin Lundbeg, R-Berthoud, said of his opposition. "It is a basic respect for the way the law works and that we maintain that rule of law in the future."
Legislative analysts estimate there are approximately 1,500 high school graduates each year in Colorado without legal immigration status, and of those, about 500 will attend college the first year the law takes effect. An additional 250 will take advantage of the new law each year after that until 2017, analysts predicted.
Based on those numbers, the new students would generate an additional $2 million in tuition for colleges and universities in the first year and $3 million the following year, money which also would be spent to educate those students. But because the 2013 version of the bill includes the College Opportunity Fund for the immigrant students, the state would spend $930,000 to subsidize the students the first year and $1.4 million the following year, the analysis said.

Everyone's favourite rockney Cockney sparrows Chas and Dave are heading Birmingham for one last knees up.
Chas and Dave are back together after Dave left the group in 2009. Which is a blessing, because I'd feel robbed if I turned up to see Chas and Dave and Dave was not Dave, but a bloke pretending to be Dave.
Written off by snooty types as a novelty act Chas and Dave are in fact some of the most accomplished musicians Britain has ever produced.
Before forming the band the pair played with countless all time rock and roll greats with Chas Hodges performing alongside Jerry Lee Lewis and guitar virtuoso Albert Lee.
However, sick of having to sing in an American accent Chas phoned old friend Dave up over a pint and pitched his idea of writing songs in the tradition of the Kinks and singing in their native London tongue.
They recruited Mick Burt on drums and began an ascent up the charts to become household names in the 1980s selling millions of records and at one point appearing on television almost every week.
Their big break was when Gertcha, a song about an out of date word Chas' dad used to say, was used for a Courage Bitter advert in 1979.
A string of hits followed including the unforgettable Rabbit Rabbit, Snooker Loopy, two FA Cup songs with Tottenham Hotspur and the bittersweet tale of lost love Aint No Pleasing You.
They even managed to bring Eric Clapton back to British screens when he joined them for a jam on their Christmas special in 1982.
The pair continued to tour and release albums throughout the 1990s when they briefly went out of fashion but at the turn of this century musicians began falling over themselves to recognise their importance.
As well as making music look easy and keeping the tradition of music hall alive they helped keep sayings like "gertcha" in the lexicon of theEnglish language and added a few more like "more rabbit than Sainsbury's".
Jools Holland, Tori Amos and The Libertines all professed their love for Chas and Dave and all they represent and when Dave's wife died in 2009 it looked like the end of the road as he retired to paint gypsy caravans.
However, due to the lure of the stage and the success of a recent documentary Last Orders the pair are back in the saddle and embarking on a huge tour in 2013, which could be their last.
Chas and Dave are at Birmingham Town Hall on Friday, April 5 and for tickets phone Box Office 0121 345 0600.
