Cash for people smugglers: no admissions
On Monday the opposition was pursuing the government over claims it handed cash to people smugglers. By Tuesday Labor was refusing to deny doing the same thing when in government.PT2M12S 620 349
The Coalition government has been under fire since last week when reports emerged that people smugglers had been paid $5000 in cash each to turn their boats around and sail back to Indonesia.
Tony Abbott refused to deny the reports in the face of repeated questions by radio presenter Neil Mitchell, who asked: "But surely we wouldn't pay people smugglers, they are criminals?"
Now Labor is also under fire, with multiple sources saying that the previous government also paid people smugglers.
With both of the major parties now implicated in payments to people smugglers, can you guess which politicians had the following things to say about them?

|One of the Darker than Black manga series isn't currently linked to the rest of the franchise. I think it should be linked to the first Darker than Black TV series, but I don't know what sort of relation they should have since I haven't read or watched any part of the franchise.

Sorry, I thought of a phrase and forgot to type it. I was looking at Dan42´s post and thought of "remake of" (same core story, "new and improved" animation/music/etc), but then I thought that it didn´t exactly fit. Maybe just leaving it as "related" is better?

Not entirely sure if I should just post here or make a new thread, but I've got a problem with the relations for the Fate/ franchise (specifically, the anime adaptations).
As it currently stands, the following relationships are in place:
Fate/Zero (TV)
> Prequel of Fate/stay night (TV)
> Fate/Zero (TV 2) (sequel)
Fate/Zero (TV 2)
> Sequel to Fate/Zero (TV)
Fate/stay night (TV)
> Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (movie)
> Fate/Zero (TV) (prequel)
> > Fate/Zero (TV 2) (sequel)
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (movie)
> Related to Fate/stay night (TV)
I have two problems with this. One, there's relationships missing (Carnival Phantasm should be linked as related, UBW and F/Z need to be connected, and UBW and F/sn should be listed as alternatives to each other).
The second, is that F/Z is NOT a prequel to F/sn. It's a relationship similar to the HaruToki series, in that the two titles are based off of things that are prequel/sequel to each other.
Fate/stay night (TV) is based off of the Fate/stay night Visual Novel (which is obviously not in the encyclopedia).
Fate/Zero (TV) is based off of the Fate/Zero novels (which probably should be in the encyclopedia, given that other light novels series are there).
The Fate/Zero novels are a prequel to the Fate/stay night VN, but that doesn't automatically directly connect the two adaptations. I would prefer to see F/Z (TV) listed as an adaptation of the F/Z novels, and, if anything has to be listed as prequel, the F/Z novels listed as a prequel to F/sn (TV).

According to this article there is also a Fate/Zero manga (adapted from the novel). I'm limited in what I can look up at the moment since I don't have Kanji support on this computer (and will probably get busy come half an hour from now when the shifts change at work) but I'll make what inroads I can...
Let's see what new titles from the franchise we have pending.
Fate/Stay Night: TV Reproduction (OAV)
Fate/Prototype (OAV)
Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya (OAV)
We do have a Fate/stay night (manga) which is currently "related" to the anime.
On the subject, should Carnival Phantasm (OAV) be listed as an adaptation of Take Moon (manga)? The plot summary suggests it should.
OK, I've added a shell for the Fate/Zero novel:

I'm getting conflicting information regarding the novels. Are they novels or light novels? Are they illustrated? How many volumes?
As far as I can tell there were initially 4 volumes released (listed on http://www.fate-zero.com/
There are 6 later volumes listed on JA Wikipedia that are on Amazon, but are not on the fate/zero site. These are illustrated bunkobon (presumably A6, which is smaller than B6) and published in 2011 by Star Seas Company/Kodansha. Total page count 1530.
Are the later books a re-packaged version of the earlier ones? Are they two separate series? Things are getting busy so I might need to leave this here for now.

My man Jeff taking a road shot. As he was taking his shot the sky was still firing towards the Vincent Thomas Bridge so I framed this comp with the road cutting diagonally through the foreground. Definitely one of the better sunsets I've seen from this side of the bridge. Getting excited about my SF trip next week, hope to shoot the shit out of Goldie J.

6th street bridge - Los Angeles
This one was back from when climbing on the 6th street bridge was the cool thing to do. I chose to be on the right side to catch the sun setting between the city and the traffic flow. Luckily the sun ended up breaking through the thick clouds to provide a bit of color. I think this was the last time I climbed up before the demo began.

Best Seat in the House - Joshua Tree National Park Milky Way and tent
I had this idea in mind for our past trip out to Joshua Tree we just wanted to find a nice little cluster of trees to fill the frame with. We spotted this set as we were walking back from shooting startrails at the Wall Street Mill. We setup the tent, I climbed in using my iPhone to illuminate, and he fired both cameras. Since we took a few exposures, I stacked a few for the foreground to reduce noise, and just used one of the images for the sky with Topaz DeNoise for noise reduction. Love how the iPhone light, while dim, gets picked up by the camera's high ISO providing a subtle hint of light on trees. Nikon D750, Nikkor 14-24, f/2.8, 15 sec, ISO-6400

SkyspaceLA firework show, Los Angeles CA
Fireworks are a bit tricky to shoot. Shutter speed depends on the brightness, length, and how scattered or clustered the fireworks are. I also like to try and snap some of the first bursts before it gets too smoky but the smoke drifted over the rest of the buildings so it ended up being ok. In addition, this wasn't some annual event where we knew exactly where the fireworks were going to be visible from. We gambled a bit further away from the city hoping they would be high in the sky. Park row provides an excellent overlook with car trails leading into the city and we knew it would be a great location for the grand opening show for @skyspacela as long as the fireworks popped off where we needed them to. I chose a slanted line in rather than head on view to frame the US Bank tower in the middle of my frame. I had a few decent single exposures, but I ended up using 2 for the fireworks. One for the base and one for the top portion. They were both shot at 5 seconds, so I added in a longer 15 second exposure to get more fluid car trails. All shot with the Nikon D750, Nikkor 70-200 at f/14. ISO-100. 4Th of July is coming up, which may provide another opportunity to get out and shoot more fireworks.

Lost - Mesquite dunes Death Valley
I get that feeling a lot when shooting astro and just star gazing in general wondering what else is out there. I also get it, but in a different sense, when shooting scenes like this where the landscape is just so vast and you really can't appreciate it until you show a human element for scale. This was the case when I was wandering the Mesquite dunes in Death Valley after sunrise this day. I didn't see anyone else out there at sunrise and as I was wandering around I spotted one other person walking amongst the dunes. I suspect he spotted me too as we both stopped walking and snapped shots back at eachother. The dune layering provided excellent patterns to complement the shot. Nikon D7000, Nikkor 18-200, f/18, 1/30 sec, ISO-100

Strawberry Moon, Summer Solstice - Palos Verdes CA
A VERY quick and dirty edit on last night's strawberry moon. Given that the next time summer solstice and the "strawberry" moon meet will be in 2062, I figured I'd get out and snap a few. Didn't see any good local line ups based on what Stellarium was showing so I ended up going to a lookout in Palos Verdes where the full moon would rise behind the cliffs in the distance. Clouds/haze pretty much blocked the moon up until this point where it peaked out and then was visible thereafter. I wanted to capture it a bit lower so it wasn't as bright but I still managed to pull out the foreground shadows in this exposure. Plus the twilight blues got even richer as compared to when it first rose. I'll take a new moon over a full moon any day, but it was still fun to get out and snap some. Oh and happy summer everyone! Nikon D750, Nikkor 70-200 + 1.4x TC (effective focal length at 250mm), f/4, 1/20 sec, ISO-3200

6th street construction - Los Angeles
My man @half_tone checking out the construction on 6th during sunset. Used a telephoto here to compress the skyline in the background. They've made a lot of progress since this was shot. Probably about time to head back out and see what it looks like. Nikon D750, Nikkor 70-200, f/2.8, 1/2000 sec, ISO-160

Wizard is a card game similar to Oh Hell or Contract Whist. This app is a free to play implementation of the game with a single player version against the computer and a live version against other players online.
This app is approved by Ken Fisher of Wizard Cards International subject to written agreement.
Not sure what game the other reviewers are playing... ... But it's great. Not as good as in person, of course, and could really do with the super-Canadian rule (dealer can never bid to make even, because that way someone's always unhappy). But a great fun implementation nonetheless, and I've never experienced the issues mentioned by other reviewers.
Wizard The game gives you no chance to EVER win. You hardly ever get any good cards and when you do you are so far behind that there is NEVER a chance to win!! Very unfair and discouraging I will never teach this game to my kids!! I have given this game more than a fair chance and it still stinks. Your opponents never make a mistake and it's still not fair takes all the fun out of it I am uninstalling now.
Best wizard app so-far. Works well free, some additional features cost. Not as good as in person but I'm impressed. Give it a try!
Needs undue. AI gangs up on you. Small size of bid numbers make wrong bet. Wizard is cutthroat but all AI try to set you even if you are losing instead of going after leader.
Game locked completely Game locked on me. Couldn't play the card in my hand. Restarted app. Restarted phone. Nothing worked. Started a new game, and it did the same thing, couldn't play my card. Could go to settings and everything else, but tapping card wouldn't play. Uninstalled and reinstalled, but now can't find a way to log in to continue on leaderboards. Just says user name already exists when I try under edit name. Disappointed.
This game is amazing any one that says other wise just means you obviously don't know how to play
What's New
v1.1 - Added overall ranking table.
v2.0 - Jester(s) followed by Wizard now mean you can play any card. Apologies to anyone I have falsely corrected on this matter.
v2.1 - Added on-screen settings button

Electric, Gas and Water utilities have always been traditionally regarded as income stocks by investors. Their high current yields, and the relative stability of their distributions made them a preferred choice for investors who are seeking current income from their assets.
Utilities typically pay out a large portion of their earnings as dividends, which explains their slow dividend growth and high dividend yields. Most utilities operate as natural monopolies, which guarantees almost no competition in their specific geographic areas. It would be very costly to run two separate electrical grids, and such investment could take many decades to pay off. Thus utilities tend to generate stable earnings and revenues in any economic conditions, as people keep using water, gas and electricity in their daily lives no matter what.
A main risk factor for many utilities is government legislation in regards to greenhouse gases, which could increase their costs over time. Such legislation could force utilities to purchase CO2 pollution allowances, which could cut into earnings. The heavy government regulation could be the driving force behind future growth however. A recent phenomenon has been the smart grid initiative.
The smart grid initiative integrates information and communication technology into electricity generation, delivery, and consumption, making systems cleaner, safer, and more reliable and efficient. While it would be costly to modernize electric grids, there is some stimulus available from the department of energy. The department of energy plans to distribute $3.9 billion in Recovery Act funds for smart grid projects through two funding opportunities. The first provides $3.3 billion for deploying and implementing smart grid technologies across the country. The second provides $615 million for smart grid pilot projects. (Source: Yahoo Finance)
Because of the stability of their cash flows, utilities could afford increasing their dividends for long periods of time. Most utilities that I have stumbled upon have had a history of dividend increases, followed by a steep dividend cut, which is then followed by another string of dividend increases. More often than not however, dividend cuts in the Utilities Sector are followed by dividend increases for several years until the dividend payment reaches or exceeds the previous levels. Because of this cyclical nature of utility dividends I view the sector as more suitable for current income generation that for solid dividend growth. Thus for a younger investor who has more than 2 decades until they plan on living off their dividend income in retirement, I would not recommend a high exposure to utilities.
While current yields on utilities tend to be higher than the yields on S&P 500, dividend growth is much slower, which could erode the purchasing power of your utility dividend income over time. I view utilities stocks similarly to fixed income, as they are very sensitive to interest rates and have stable distributions.
Utility stocks typically lag during strong bull markets as investors chase higher growth prospects. In flat or bear markets however utility stocks do not decline as much and they are further helped by their generous dividend yields.
While it is true that some utilities don't have a strong history of raising distributions, there are several utilities, which have raised their distributions for more than 25 consecutive years, and thus are part of the dividend champion's list:
It is important to look at the dividend payout ratios, the EPS trends and the EBIT to interest expense ratio in order to gauge the sustainability of the dividend payment over time. The EBIT to interest expense or coverage ratio is an important indicator which shows whether utilities could afford servicing their debt obligations. While some investors focus only on the debt to asset ratios, I view the ability to service interest payments as an important factor that shows how sustainable the company's ability to operate as a going concern actually is.
Because of the slow dividend growth, I would not consider initiating a position in utilities stocks yielding less than 4% to 5%.

Utility dividends for current income
1 comment:
One way to compoensate for the utilities low dividend growth is to reinvest the dividends as long as you don't need the income. The coumpounding effect of those dividends will result in an actual growth of the paid dividends.ReplyDelete
When you reach the point where you need to income, you then simply stop reinvesting the dividends.

Report: Vt. roads improveJuly 08,2013Despite heavy rains that have washed out some Vermont roads this summer, a new federal report says Vermont has shown significant improvement in highway conditions.
The state has risen from 42nd to 28th in the country in the Reason Foundations analyisis based on 2009 data.
The Legislature passed a fuel-tax increase in 2009 to go toward a new bonding program to provide more money for bridge maintenance. The state also repaved interstate 89 between Richmond and Georgia that year, winning it a top raining for urban interstate pavement condition from the Reason Foundation.
Im happy with the jump, but it is still in the bottom half, Rep. Patrick Brennan, R-Colchester told the Burlington Free Press. Unless we stay on top of things, we are going to slip back.
The administration of Gov. Peter Shumlin and the Legislature this year agreed to raise the fuel taxes again to help fund the states growing list of transportation projects.
What we saw in the Legislature was just a major level of support to continue the momentum to make the system better, said Transportation Secretary Brian Searles.
Road construction projects are everywhere across the state as the state works to reduce the percentage of roads and bridges deemed in poor condition.
The funding from the 2-percent rise in the gas tax in May and the 2-cent diesel tax hike that went into effect this week allow the state to do more work as it weans itself from the $185 million it received in stimulus funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
In 2007, 20 percent of Vermonts bridges were deemed structurally deficient. In 2012, the percentage decreased to 9.3 percent, said deputy Transportation Secretary Sue Minter.
In 2009, 34 percent of state highways were rated in very poor condition. The percentage dropped to 24 percent or about 800 miles in 2012, Minter said.MORE IN This Just InHiker rescued from AT

Some people will tell you that real DIY maintenance of a gravel drive is impossible, even with a lawn tractor or ATV and a grader attachment — they'll tell you the only real solution is a full-size tractor or grader. However, lots of Toolmongers will tell you differently. I've heard about or seen rigs made of I-beams, box springs, and welded monstrosities, pulled behind every kind of contraption commonly seen in a yard, field, or worksite. This patented Driveway Groomer, designed to be pulled by a truck with a trailer hitch, seems as good as any.tramadol online pharmacy

Now those of us without cool tools like ATVs and bulldozers can convert our trucks, minivans, and SUVs into workhorses. The Driveway Groomer runs $350, and the Groomer Jr. goes for $265 — about the same cost as an attachment for heavier equipment.buy xanax online cod

A pallet weighted down with 10 cinder blocks, behind a garden tractor, works great.

Tech companies lash out at gov't snooping
Tech companies lash out at gov't snooping
WASHINGTON (AP) — Silicon Valley is escalating pressure on President Barack Obama to curb the U.S. government surveillance programs that vacuum personal information off the Internet and threaten the technology industry's financial livelihood.
A coalition that includes Google, Apple, Yahoo, Facebook and Microsoft lashed out in an open letter printed Monday in major newspapers and a new website, http://reformgovernmentsurveillance.com.
The crusade united eight companies that often compete fiercely against each other, but now find themselves banding together to limit the potential damage from revelations about the National Security Agency's snooping on Web surfers.
Twitter Inc., LinkedIn Corp. and AOL Inc. joined Google Inc., Apple Inc., Yahoo Inc., Facebook Inc. and Microsoft Corp. in the push for tighter controls over electronic espionage. The group is immersed in the lives of just about everyone who uses the Internet or a computing device.
As the companies' services and products have become more deeply ingrained in society, they have become integral cogs in the economy. Their prosperity also provides them with the cash to pay for lobbyists and fund campaign contributions that sway public policy.
Monday's public relations offensive is a by-product of documents leaked over the past six months by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
The records reveal that the NSA has been obtaining emails and other personal data from major tech companies under secret court orders for the past five years and scooping up other data through unauthorized hacking into data centers.
Silicon Valley has been fighting back in the courts and in Congress as they seek reforms that would allow them to disclose more information about secret court orders.
Several of the companies are also introducing more encryption technology to shield their users' data from government spies and other prying eyes.
Monday's letter and the new anti-snooping website represent the technology industry's latest salvo in an attempt to counter any perception that they voluntarily give the government access to users' email and other sensitive information.
Although the campaign is ostensibly directed at governments around the world, the United States is clearly the main target.
"The balance in many countries has tipped too far in favor of the state and away from the rights of the individual — rights that are enshrined in our Constitution," the letter said.
"This undermines the freedoms we all cherish. It's time for a change."

I hope you guys take advantage of some of the things added by the new DLC. I'd love to see a greater presence of the Hutt Cartel, Black Suns, and other pirate factions as well as smuggling going on.
This member has provided no bio about themself...
I hope you guys take advantage of some of the things added by the new DLC. I'd love to see a greater presence of the Hutt Cartel, Black Suns, and other pirate factions as well as smuggling going on.
So wait... I'm confused. Are you suggesting that Cairo Station was not a SMAC? And it was simply an "ODP"?
You know what is really annoying to see on any mod page? "Pls fix this!" "Pls make this!"
I'm pretty certain the team of mod makers who are constantly playing this game and testing their mod are probably aware of an update that breaks their mod and they're probably going to be working on a fix without you needing to ask for one and you asking for one is probably only annoying to them.
Maybe I'm just the ******* though :-}
Wait, why did you not just keep the Haven in game until these future developments are finished? Won't that really throw off the balance of the game?
awesome! I love this fighter design.
Is it just a texture change? or was the model modified a little? It looks fantastic either way.
Are you guys still working on the TOR addon?
Awesome ship! I've been hoping to see this in the mod since I saw it in that board game
I've encountered issues with my firewalls before tagging files that I know are not infected or viruses as dangerous and automatically deleting them before they download.
I think I heard it was a balance issue. UNSC is designed to be flimsy but numerous while the covenant are fewer but sturdy. With the shield tech added, the UNSC because numerous and sturdy and outclassed the covenant.
Hangar doors? But the Stalwarts have never been shown to have fighters.
I've always wondered, are those blueish doors on the side of the Stalwart where the ODST drop pods were launched in Halo 2?
Yeah those plans are a hero system. I was wanting to know if they'll implement that system when they put the Orion into the mod.
Will you guys implement the new way that the Phoenix is included in the mod when you put in the Orion?
i need dis
Is that two MACs I see :)
I'm curious why the flood picture was removed from the pirate window.
Maybe this is just me, but the Covenant Patrol Station seems really overpowered. I haven't played a Cov v. Cov match but when its the UNSC against the Covenant, it seems very OP.
Having not played Halo 5 and seeing those ships for the first time when I just googled them: Damn those look ugly as sin. The Blockade Runner is not absolutely horrible but its still ugly. The Man O' War looks more forerunner than Covenant (Sanghelli). 343 is not doing these factions very proud with their ship design.
The Covenant is supposed to be extremely overpowered when comparing 1:1 ship strength with the UNSC. The UNSC have a really strong "alpha strike" with their mac cannons and can be built faster and cheaper than covenant ships. The mod is designed (last I heard) so it takes about 3 UNSC ships to take down a comparable Covenant ship.
Yes. That's exactly what the CRS is.
There are forerunner ships in the mod. They're not going to include ancient humans though.
I know it might take up a lot of resources for something smallish but I was wondering if there was any chance that in the future for the 1.0 release, we might see ship skins for flood captured ships. Something that looks like this:
Does this have the flood crash bug?
Whats the deal with the maps for 0.80? There are fewer available by default in the mod than the previous version (these are fantastic maps however). But when I go into the Galaxy folder, there are all the previous maps in there still and the current ones that are named different names.
I'd love to have an updated version of this. Also, (I'll probably ask this in the main comments too) whats the deal with the maps for 0.80? There are fewer available by default in the mod than the previous version (these are fantastic maps however). But when I go into the Galaxy folder, there are all the previous maps in there still and the current ones that are named different names.
0.80 is amazing from what I've gotten to play so far guys. The best part of the mod is how well you guys capture the feel of the Halo lore. It never feels like I'm playing SoSE with a Halo skin but rather an actual Halo space game.
I was thinking about other ways that each faction could be distinguished from one another in their play style. You've got a big emphasis on how outgunned the UNSC is compared to the Covenant. I know that in Rebellion (I've actually not played around with many features in vanilla rebellion) there's a feature that allows one of the Vasari factions to scuttle planets and extract a lot of resources but leaving a dead asteroid behind. In my mind this feature obviously has no place in halo lore (unless there's some crazy forerunner tech in one of the books I'm unaware of) but it sounds like you might have some freedom to make some changes to what happens when you "abandon" a planet.
It seems like a very UNSC feature to allow for an "Evacuation" option for planets owned by the UNSC. It could produce scenarios where you know you can't stop the Covenant fleet that is attacking the planet, but maybe you can buy enough time to evacuate the planet so that people can get away (you get the nice bonus from doing so). I don't know how much this could be achieved with the base sins engine but just thought I'd spit the idea out there.
I thought the geth were a part of the Reapers?
So is this a planetary type? Is it a buildable station by the Cerberus faction? or is it a neutral station that is capturable?
What will the last be for? Also, how will you balance this many starbases in the game? Will planets that have 3 be almost impossible to take?

Topic: Wildflowers
Title: Wildflowers and grasses in Vermont
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Invasive in VT.? I am ready to try seed balls in my SW Vermont meadow. (All the tilling and clearing of grass - or as sometimes advised - using Round Up??? for a wildflower garden? seems like so much work, how does a field of wildflowers gain hold in the wild?) I'm thinking things like CA. poppy, altho not native - won't be hardy enough to be invasive. Can you advise? I don't want to wreak havoc, but would love to see flowers blooming with the grass. Also, your instructions for seed balls is so specific about materials - has there been any success with sloppier applications? Thank you for any info. you can provide,
ANSWER:Mr. Smarty Plants suggests starting with at one of our "How to" articles and you may find others of them useful as well. The article I am suggesting is "Meadow Gardening"—it seems rather appropriate for your problem. This article gives you tips on preparing the site, seeding it, and then maintaining it. You would probably find "Getting Started" useful, as well. Next you should visit our Recommended Species page and select Vermont from the map or the pulldown menu. This will give you a list of some 90 species of native plants commercially available for landscaping in Vermont. You can limit that list by several characteristics using the NARROW YOUR SEARCH option; for instance, you can choose 'Herb' from the General Appearance category and the appropriate criteria for your site from Light Requirement and Soil Moisture. You can find even more possibilities by doing a COMBINATION SEARCH in our Native Plant Database and selecting Vermont from the Select State or Province option and then choosing your preferences under the other characteristics. Plants that you find using either search technique are the ones that will do best in your area and they are beautiful. Why bring in non-natives that have the potential for becoming invasive when you have these beautiful choices? Mr. Smarty Plants would NOT recommend California poppies for Vermont.
There are numerous recipes for seed balls that exist besides our own How to Make Seed Balls (e.g., Path to Freedom: Projects–Seed Balls, Texas Junior Naturalists: Make Seed Balls) so, yes, you can be somewhat sloppy about the ingredients when making them. The main thing is to have the seeds, a little organic-rich soil, and some clay-ey soil to hold them together when you add the water. It is really a lot like making mudpies that you probably made when you were little.
Below are some suggestions for colorful, hardy wildflowers that are native to Vermont:
Symphyotrichum novae-angliae (New England aster)
Rudbeckia hirta (blackeyed Susan)
Monarda fistulosa (wild bergamot)
Monarda didyma (scarlet beebalm)
Coreopsis lanceolata (lanceleaf tickseed)
Lupinus perennis (sundial lupine)
Asclepias tuberosa (butterfly milkweed)

A new issue brief from ACE sheds light on why certain racial and ethnic minorities—specifically African Americans and Hispanics—have lower levels of postsecondary degree attainment. The Education Gap: Understanding African American and Hispanic Attainment Disparities in Higher Education is the first in a series of four briefs on diversity and inclusion issues. The series is generously supported by the GE Foundation.
The Education Gap examines the degree or certificate attainment of college freshmen from different racial and ethnic groups who have met nine conditions for academic success. The nine conditions were chosen because, unlike inherent traits such as being the first in the family to attend college or having a particular socioeconomic status, they can be influenced by deliberate efforts.
"The reality is that many African American and Hispanic students must endure challenges and obstacles even before college that can be detrimental to their chances of matriculating and graduating," said Kim Bobby, director of ACE's Inclusive Excellence Group. "As we strive to reach higher attainment rates, these inequities present a great challenge to the higher education community. We're grateful for the continued support of the GE Foundation as we work together to develop scalable solutions to these problems."
The brief finds that African American and Hispanic students were less likely to take rigorous courses or earn college credit in high school, educational opportunities that enhance postsecondary academic success. They also were more likely to defer entry into college, need remediation, attend part-time, or complete fewer than 20 credits in the first year. Any one of these conditions can have a negative impact leading to lower levels of attainment, and many African American and Hispanic students face more than one of these obstacles.
"These data show that racial and ethnic achievement gaps don't happen overnight—they evolve over time," said Mikyung Ryu, associate director of ACE's Center for Policy Analysis and the brief's author. "Because academic success is a cumulative process, by failing to meet one condition after another even after they enroll in college, some minority students face narrowing chances of success. The brief underscores that a one-time or one-dimensional policy will not move these students far enough toward college graduation and that the higher education community and our colleagues in K-12 must work together to take action."
The brief, which is free to ACE member presidents and can also be purchased on ACE's website, is the first installment of the Diversity Matters in U.S. Higher Education series. The series is designed to provide campus leaders with timely, cutting-edge and actionable information they can share with the members of their campus community on a broad range of topics revolving around diversity and inclusion in U.S. higher education.
