You're never more alive than when you're on the edge of death.
Nestled in humanity's homeland, the youngest of Archer's Chambers follows the vision of one man — humanitarian Elias Graham. Fielding a wild, untamed crew of hot shots, thrill seekers, and daredevil confidence men, the African Alliance is perhaps best suited to face the new rigors of the 21st Century. Agents of this brash young Chamber square off against industrialist billionaires seeking to exploit the diamond mines and buried treasures of their home continent as well as global threats the rest of the Conspiracy is unprepared (or unwilling) to fight.
"That's quite all right. We all play the Game here…"
Delve into the very heart of intrigue with the first sourcebook for the Shadowforce Archer world setting, The Archer Foundation. Learn the stunning secrets the world's protectors hide behind their web of espionage and take an incredible tour through the secret history of the Shadowforce Archer world setting. Discover the true goals of the most pervasive spy organization on the planet, and the real threats they protect us from. Included in this 144-page sourcebook are detailed Chamber and Inter-Chamber protocols, several key Foundation locations in Australia and across the globe, and new rules for Foundation agents and their greatest enemies.
Justice. Law. Know the difference.
With centuries-old traditions and roots in the world's most feared secret societies, the European Commonwealth can (and has) blackmailed, blackballed, and broken presidents, premieres, and superpowers alike. Today, the combined forces of the elder power mongers known as the Gemeinschafft Consortium and the elusive ranks of Fade fight to keep the unstable political climate in their shadow community from exploding into open war.
Evil never dies.
In 1945, victory was seized from the jaws of the greatest evil of the 20th Century. Now, a new threat rises from the ashes of the Nazi regime, a criminal organization with dreams of global domination powered by the might of a living god. Wielding the greatest and most feared powers of the ancients and the unearthed power of countless mystic relics, the Hand of Glory stand poised to topple the delicate balance the Archer Foundation so desperately fights to protect. Only your agents stand between the world and a terrifying Fourth Reich bent on reengineering the world in the image of a fallen occult empire!
"Honor. Treachery. Vengeance. This is the path of shadow."
Their agents have been seeded in every government, shadow community, and Chamber — up to and including the Archer Foundation. What was once a routine exercise in precaution is now one of most powerful weapons on Earth. The only questions are… how will it be used, and whose blood will be spilled in the process?
Back in black and ready to play.
Shadowforce Archer™ rips back the shroud of conspiracy that has penetrated the highest levels of government for over 50 years, unleashing a thrilling combination of high-octane movie action, psychic spies, mystic artifacts, and ultra-national villain organizations, poised to dominate the entire world or leave it a pile of smoking ash. You become a shadow operative of the vast Archer Conspiracy, secretly charged with keeping the world safe… from itself!
The agenda is evolution. The failsafe is extinction.
For two years, the Archer Conspiracy has scoured the world, searching for the reason the Shop's gadgeteers broke away from their ranks. Fighting off the villain organization's overtly violent (and seemingly senseless) advances at every turn, agents of the world's shadow communities grapple with the looming certainty of a master plan they cannot see. Now, they're about to discover the truth as the Shop's innermost workings, goals, and unexpected motivations are laid bare for the entire world to see!

Teaching Tip: Other Kinds of Evaluations
Many are the ways to gather student feedback about a course and about our work as teachers. We do not need to rely on standardized feedback alone. One blogger for the Chronicle of Higher Education offers a tip for generating discursive evaluations we think very much worth your time: have your students write a letter to future students in the class.
The distinction between "summative" and "formative" appraisals really matters when thinking about and planning evaluations. Summative appraisals only evaluate performances. Formative appraisals aim to help improve future performances. It is the difference between simply assigning a letter grade to student writing and providing comments intended to help the student do better later on. Summative appraisals might generate more anxiety than anything else. Emphasizing formative evaluations will be better for our psyches and for the quality of future courses.
Students receive little practice in providing either formative or summative course evaluations, generally doing so only once for each class, with months passing between opportunities. No wonder if their feedback can seem thin or not very helpful! If we wish to improve the quality of the feedback, asking for periodic appraisals of specific aspects of the course might help. Students who believe their feedback matters are more likely to give it the care we hope for. Asking for feedback regularly—and using that feedback to improve the class—will teach students that end-of-term feedback matters, too. We discussed mid-semester feedback in a previous tip. Brown University's Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning has a one-page pdf of advice for Making Sense of Student Evaluation Feedback, which we heartily recommend.
Send us your tips and your requests—as well as your feedback about this tip and the quick hit series in general. We really value your responses!

Neighborhoods: Northside
HORRIBLE – OIP on James Street is horrid. I usually get my order of wings from W. Genesee St. location and they are so much better. I can't believe they are the same franchise. The wings on James Street were fried too hard even when I put in a special request not to fry hard. The wings taste like they were spoiled. The James Street location should be ashame to serve people the way they do. YUCK!!!!!
ive had better – OIP is by far not the best in the cuse. Their wings are pretty good but the get sickning and their over rated.Pavones in my opinion best pizza hand down along with Little Macs, but ima wing king so i go to lil macs or the change of pace for the best wings in town.
Awful! – My boyfriend and I went to OIP a few days ago, I was actually really excited about the idea because I heard a lot of good things about it. Unfortunately the pizza was terribly disappointing. One of the worst ones I have ever had! The awful smell stuck in his car, we looked the pizza in the fridge and we have no idea of what to do with it. What a waste of $15!
Great Pizza! – I don't know why people in Syracuse don't know good pizza, they aren't that far from NYC. But this is the best pizza in the city hands down. Fresh made, good sized slices, not too greasy (like Twin Trees Pizza). Also, very good cheesesteaks! I'm from Philly and it's hard to find a good cheesesteak, especialy on good bread. Most places just throw meat in a hot dog bun! The wings are tasty too. All the OIP's (James St, Eastwood, Genesee St) are very good. The people behind the counter at the Eastwood one can sometimes have an attitude, but the pizza is worth it.

In light of the current presidential campaigning, there appears to be one area that has received little attention. We have all heard about the HHS mandate forcing all religious and charitable organizations to face penalties if each organization does not comply in providing contraceptives and abortifacient drugs. There is much confusion and misinformation on this penalty, and it up to all of us to find the facts and take action.
Financial impact - The penalty could amount to $100 per day per employee, which amounts to $36,500 per employee per year. This penalty would bankrupt any organization. The HHS penalty, as it now stands, will take effect in September of 2013.
Example - The Informed Choices Medical Clinic in Ames will open in November 2012. This fully accredited medical clinic gives counseling and high resolution ultrasound images of the baby in the womb at no charge. Of the pregnant women considering abortion who go to the clinic, 90 percent will choose to have their baby. This clinic will have to shut down if the HHS penalty is forced upon them.
Lawsuits - There are now legal proceedings underway by several Christian institutions, hospitals and schools against the HHS mandate, to strike down this requirement. This outcome may not be known until 2013 or later.
Actions What can be done now?
1. To defeat this HHS mandate we must vote with our Christian conscience to protect life of the unborn and our religious freedom.
2. Take it upon yourself to have your church, business, or other organizations make an objective risk assessment to ascertain the threat of this HHS mandate. What is being done by your church to educate people about this issue?
We must pray and trust in God, but we must also take action to protect our religious freedom. Remember, silence is approval.

Latest Update
The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is continuing to improve energy efficiency in the Delaware Valley. DVRPC has met with regional and state experts and visited towns implementing energy efficiency projects to learn about their best practices. The Commission launched the first round of Direct Technical Assistance (DTA) to work closely with nine municipalities in southeastern Pennsylvania to identify opportunities to reduce energy costs in their daily operations. DVRPC has worked with its contractor, Practical Energy Solutions, to gather energy baseline data from the municipalities and assess buildings for energy efficiency opportunities. Since November 2012, DVRPC has held scoping meetings with eight of the nine DTA communities to review the data analysis results and discuss each municipality's priorities, and Practical Energy Solutions has drafted assessment reports based on the findings from the energy assessments. DVRPC also hosted a roundtable with the energy company PECO as part of a quarterly seminar series to provide information and training to municipalities. The roundtable aimed to help municipalities better understand PECO's street lighting tariff, which poses a barrier for energy-efficient street lighting improvements due to a high fixed cost for this service embedded into the rates. In addition, DVRPC has conducted outreach on the LED Traffic Signal Conversion Program through email announcements, phone calls, and a survey and will work on coordinating a pilot study. Upcoming activity includes delivering final assessment reports to municipalities, convening the nine DTA communities for a working session on how to implement projects, and creating workshops and trainings for water and sewage treatment facilities.
Project Summary
Helping Small Municipal Governments Achieve Energy Efficiency Improvements
The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) Regional Circuit Rider for Energy Efficiency in Local Government Operations project provides training and direct assistance to the governments of the four suburban counties in Greater Philadelphia to develop and implement strategies to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions associated with their operations. This project works with four of the nine counties within the DVRPC region and focuses on the 228 small municipalities that are too small to qualify for Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program and lack the resources of larger cities. DVRPC serves as a "one-stop shop" for these municipalities to address the capacity gaps they face in making use of energy efficiency resources.
The project is providing six distinct services to the 228 targeted municipalities, beginning with outreach on savings opportunities available in energy efficiency and conservation. DVRPC also develops and provides trainings, analytical tools, and outreach materials for the municipalities on the benefits and processes for managing energy use and improving energy efficiency in municipal buildings, wastewater treatment facilities, vehicle fleets, employee commutes, and outdoor lighting. DVRPC also provides technical assistance on analytical tools that evaluate energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from local government municipal operations. The Circuit Rider project designs cost-effective packages for reducing energy use in municipally-owned buildings that leverage available grant funding and incentives to assure a maximum payback period of five years. DVRPC is also preparing case studies and monitoring and reporting data to track outcomes and lessons learned from the project.
By engaging municipalities in cost-effective energy efficiency investments in their own operations, this program will increase awareness of energy efficiency opportunities among citizens throughout the region. DVRPC will profile select communities that have institutionalized energy and greenhouse gas management through this program, using a standard template that will summarize energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions reductions and provide a narrative of the project. These case studies will be available on DVRPC's website and will be used to publicize the program, demonstrate the value of energy and greenhouse gas management, and communicate progress to other municipalities.

Sober St. Patrick's Day® Mission:
"To reclaim the true spirit of the day and to change the perception and experience of what St. Patrick's Day can be, by providing family-friendly, alcohol free events celebrating the best of Irish music, dance and comedy."
With the participation of celebrities from the arts, world-class musicians and dancers, senior Irish politicians, television cameras, and a sold-out crowd, Sober St. Patrick's Day® was launched on the world in New York City on March 17, 2012. This new kind of party attracted significant media coverage and was, by any standards, a roaring success – no green beer or bad behavior, just a really good time! The party sold out in advance again in 2013 and received even more press and TV coverage, as Sober St. Patrick's Day® has now expanded to other cities, too.
The Irish national holiday – St. Patrick's Day – is celebrated around the world and nowhere more enthusiastically than in America. Unfortunately, the holiday has become increasingly associated with uncontrolled levels of drinking and public intoxication, alienating citizens and audiences everywhere who want to enjoy the best in traditional Irish culture and "reclaim the true spirit of the day."
Sober St. Patrick's Day® is for anyone looking for an alternative to the boozy stereotype, whether you're looking to provide a healthy celebration of Irish entertainment for your entire family, want to go on a great new date or are a person in recovery who has long since abandoned the holiday.
Please Note: We're not against people having a drink or two to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. We're simply against people using St. Patrick's Day as an excuse to get wasted.

Our Recommended Experts Can Help you with Every Aspect of your Home Sale.
Only Pay for Services You Need!
Do you know what percentage of your home's equity you would pay to a real estate agent?
Enter your expected selling price, your real estate agent's commission percentage and the amount you still owe on your property.
Why use FSBOMichigan.com to help you sell your home?
To skip the typical 6% commission which is $15,000 on a $250,000 home
Your property is your largest financial asset. And most homeowners still hold a mortgage on their home so their equity is potentially much less than the selling price. This means a 6% commission may be a HUGE percentage of your equity. Why should you lose so much of your equity that you worked so hard to get!
To Avoid paying for a service that may not be worth it
When you compare other items you buy in your lifetime, like insurance, utilities, gas and heat or even a car, do you really believe the service you receive for selling your home with a traditional real estate agent is worth approximately $6,000 to $20,000? The main service that real estate agents provide is convenience and, in some areas, agents can get a license within two weeks.
1 out of 3 homeowners sell without a traditional real estate agent
Today, a third of homeowners are selling their homes without the use of a traditional real estate agent. The internet has a wealth of tools to help you sell your home. Sellers are relying less on real estate agents and more on their savvy web surfing abilities.
Sellers nationwide saved thousands
Last year, nearly 1,500,000 sellers nationwide saved thousands by not using a full commission agent. With a little time and effort, a home seller can do or obtain the same services an agent offers. From home appraisers to real estate attorneys and showing your own home, these services can be done by any home seller.
More than 90% of home buyers use the Internet during their search
Gone are the days that a buyer needs an agent to show them a home. With multi-media platforms, buyers can find out everything about a home in the comfort of their own livingroom. They aren't wasting their time with showings and home sellers aren't wasting their time with uninterested buyers.
FsboMichigan.com is an effective and affordable alternative
FsboMichigan.com has worked hard to rank high in popular search engines. With our low-cost advertising, you can literally sell your home for less than the cost of a newspaper ad.
Get the best of both!
If you choose to use FSBOMICHIGAN.COM's optional Flat Fee MLS Service (same one Realtors use), you not only save ½ of commission fees, but you still retain YOUR RIGHT to sell to anyone not represented by a realtor as well! Best of both!

Heritage Foundation
Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a New Right think tank. Its stated mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of "free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."[1] It is widely considered one of the world's most influential public policy research institutes. The Foundation wields considerable influence in Washington, and enjoyed particular prominence during the Reagan administration. Its initial funding was provided by Joseph Coors, of the Coors beer empire, and Richard Mellon Scaife, heir of the Mellon industrial and banking fortune. The Foundation maintains strong ties with the London Institute of Economic Affairs and the Mont Pelerin Society.

The Heritage Foundation concerns itself with many issues in about 20 different subject areas, everything from missile defense to public administration.[2] It regularly publishes comprehensive articles, papers, and journals expressing its strong neo-conservative opinions in these subject areas. While the Foundation has contributed many ideas to contemporary public policy, it is best known for the ideas put forth by its foreign policy analysts in the 1980s and early 1990s to provide military and other support to anti-communist resistance movements around the world. The Foundation pushed for this strategy, known as the Reagan doctrine, in Afghanistan, Angola, Cambodia, Nicaragua and other nations around the world.
The Foundation worked closely with leading anti-communist movements, including the Nicaraguan contras and Jonas Savimbi's Unita movement in Angola to bring military, economic and political pressure on Soviet-aligned regimes.[3] Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Foundation's support for the Nicaraguan contras and Angola's Savimbi[4] proved extremely influential with the United States government, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Council and other governmental agencies.[5] The Heritage Foundation presented its case for armed support for these movements, and United States support soon followed. The Foundation ultimately succeeded in its efforts, with the United States winning both covert and overt "wars of liberation" against Soviet-aligned states around the world. Critics argued that this endeavor led to undue bloodshed in the Third World and damaged American relations with the former Soviet Union.[citation needed] Supporters have argued that the cost imposed on Moscow by such efforts was huge, leading to the beginning of the end for the imperial Soviet empire.[citation needed] Whatever the truth, it was the first prominent example of The Heritage Foundation's ability to spark global debate and fundamentally alter the course of American policy.
But Heritage Foundation foreign policy analysts did not just champion the Reagan Doctrine in Washington. Some were key actors in these conflicts, visiting the front lines to provide political and military guidance to Savimbi and the contra leadership. They also provided bold and inflammatory predictions that these conflicts were tugging on the very soul of global communism and that these Soviet-supported regimes and the Soviet Union itself were on the brink of collapse. This prediction, of course, looks surprisingly accurate in retrospect, but ignores the many other contributing factors to the collapse of communism.[3] The Foundation also leaped to the defense of Ronald Reagan's description of the former Soviet Union as an "evil empire," a description that generated wide global rebuke as potentially inviting nuclear conflict and, at the very least, further poisoning East-West relations. But with strong support by Heritage and other influential conservatives, Reagan stood by the statement, refusing to retract it until the Soviet Union began to crumble.
In an attempt to build on its foreign policy influence, the Foundation also engages in domestic and social policy issues, but its effort in these two areas has never quite matched the influence it wielded (in the late 1980s and early 1990s) in altering the debate over American foreign policy. Yet the Foundation continues to weigh in on these topics with varying levels of success. One of its undeniable successes has been serving as a forum for many of the nation's leading neo-conservative activists and intellectuals.
The following comments by former Republican Majority Leader Dick Armey, published in the summer 1994 issue of the Heritage Foundation's Policy Review, exemplify the Heritage philosophy:
"Liberation is at hand.... A paradigm-shattering revolution has just taken place. In the signal events of the 1980s - from the collapse of communism to the Reagan economic boom to the rise of the computer - the idea of economic freedom has been overwhelmingly vindicated. The intellectual foundation of statism has turned to dust. This revolution has been so sudden and sweeping that few in Washington have yet grasped its full meaning.... But when the true significance of the 1980s freedom revolution sinks in, politics, culture - indeed, the entire human outlook - will change.... Once this shift takes place - by 1996, I predict - we will be able to advance a true Hayekian agenda, including.... radical spending cuts, the end of the public school monopoly, a free market health-care system, and the elimination of the family-destroying welfare dole. Unlike 1944, history is now on the side of freedom."[6]
The informational web site www.policyexperts.org is a "service of The Heritage Foundation," listing many of the world's leading conservative-leaning public policy experts. Additionally, for many years, its scholarly, quarterly publication, Policy Review, was widely viewed as one of the world's leading conservative public policy journals.
The Heritage Foundation has been home to some of the nation's most influential neo-conservative voices, especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Foundation has since lost some of its luster, as some of its leading voices have graduated to other influential government and non-government careers. Still, the Foundation remains a conservative voice in Washington and around the world.
Policy stances
Supporting nuclear power
An April 2009 memo by Heritage fellow Jack Spencer criticized the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, drafted by Representatives Ed Markey and Henry Waxman, for containing "virtually no mention of nuclear power." Spencer wrote, "If reducing carbon dioxide and other emissions, creating jobs, and promoting domestic energy sources were truly the objective, then nuclear energy should be central to the legislation." He went on to suggest how federal energy legislation should encourage nuclear power, including by instituting "a fast-track program for granting construction/operation permits for certain new plants" and allowing "nuclear waste producers to finance and manage their own spent nuclear fuel however they see fit so long as public health and safety is protected." [7]
Against the European Union
In March of 2012, Heritage fellows Nile Gardiner and Ted Bromund released an "issue brief" entitled "Five conservative principles that should guide US policy on Europe" where they claim that "a politically unified Europe is not in the interest of the United States."[8] In the brief they argue that the U.S. government should not back further integration in the European Union, especially in the areas of defense and foreign policy.[8] In an interview with the EUobserver, Bromund stated that US officials should not have any direct dealings with EU officials, only with member states[9] He even went as far as to dismiss High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton, as "a non-entity who is not worthy of respect."[9]
Fighting Immigration Reform
As a response to the earned citizenship provisions of the comprehensive immigration reform bill under debate in the U.S. Senate as of May 2013, Robert Rector, a Heritage research fellow, and Jason Richwine, policy analyst, released a special report on immigration entitled "The Fiscal Cost of Unlawful Immigrants and Amnesty to the U.S. Taxpayer". The co-authors estimated that the cost of offering a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants (part of a plan by a bipartisan group of senators to overhaul the immigration system), would create a "lifetime fiscal deficit" for the government of $6.3 trillion. This cost estimate is based on several big assumptions (that the majority of immigrants formerly in the country illegally will eventually use government programs for low-income Americans, for example) and was rejected by many conservatives.[10] The report was highly criticized by both the left and the right, with prominent conservatives speaking out against it.[10] Haley Barbour, a Republican leader and former governor of Mississippi, called the report a "political document" and stated, "This gigantic cost figure that the Heritage Foundation puts out is actually the cost over 50 years. If you put the 50-year cost of anything in front of the public, it is going to be a huge number."[10] Even anti-tax activist Grover Norquist denounced the study, claiming the cost estimate was "wildly overblown."[10] Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform spoke out against the report, aruging that the underlying analysis only focused on costs while ignoring all the benefits of the immigration bill.[11]
The study was further discredited when the Washington Post brought to light that co-author, Jason Richwine, had argued in his Harvard doctoral thesis, "IQ and Immigration Policy," that Hispanic immigrants have lower IQ's than white Americans and that the U.S. would ameliorate problems by only selecting high-IQ immigrants.[12] Amid the controversy, Richwine, resigned from the Heritage Foundation.[13] In the wake of Richwine's resignation and continued scrutiny from Republicans and conservative groups, Heritage has gone into full "damage-control" and is considering "hiring a high-profile public relations firm to help deal with the fallout of the report."[14]
Despite criticism, former Sen. Jim DeMint (R – S.C.) is standing by the controversial study saying, "There's no doubt that these numbers are real."[15]

- Phillip Truluck (Executive Vice President and Trustee)
The Heritage Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation. In its annual report it states that "we rely on the financial contributions of the general public: individuals, foundations and corporations. We accept no government funds and perform no contract work."[20]
Between 2001 and 2010, the Foundation received $3.38 million from the conservative Bradley Foundation.[21]
With a long history of receiving large donations from overseas, Heritage continued to rake in a minimum of several hundred thousand dollars from Taiwan and South Korea each year through the 1990s, according to Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting.[22] In the autumn of 1988, the South Korean National Assembly uncovered a document revealing that Korean intelligence gave $2.2 million to the Heritage Foundation on the sly during the early 1980s.[23][24][25] Heritage officials "categorically deny" the accusation. Heritage's latest annual report does acknowledge a $400,000 grant from the Korean conglomerate Samsung. Another donor, the Korea Foundation -- which conduits money from the South Korean government -- gave Heritage almost $1 million from 1993 to 1996.[22]
There was also a connection between Heritage and the Rev. Sun Myung Moon (founder of the "Moonies" as well as of the Washington Times). This first appeared in a 1975 congressional investigation on the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) activities in the US. The report noted, "In 1975, Ed Feulner ... was introduced to KCIA station chief Kim Yung Hwan by Neil Salonen and Dan Feffernan of the Freedom Leadership foundation". Salonen was head of Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church in the United States. The Freedom Leadership Foundation (FLF), a political arm of Moon's Unification network, was linked to the World Anti-Communist League. In the early 1980s, the KCIA began making donations to Heritage Foundation. In turn, Heritage established an Asian Studies Center.[23][24]

While corporations provided only $1.5 million -- 4% -- of Heritage's contributions in 2006, they nonetheless have significant interest in the foundation's policy output. These include defense contractors Boeing and Lockheed Martin, finance and insurance companies such as Allstate Insurance, Mortgage Insurance Companies of America, and American International Group (AIG), auto company Honda, tobacco company Altria Group (Philip Morris), drug and medical companies Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, and Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, oil companies ChevronTexaco and Exxon Mobil, software giant Microsoft, and -- chipping in over $100,000 each -- Alticor (Amway), Pfizer, PhRMA, and United Parcel Service (UPS).[31]
Historical Funding

Right Web says of the Heritage Foundation:
- "The foundation received $2. 2 million from the Federation of Korean Industries in the early 1980s. Initially it was believed this donation came from the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (which would make the Heritage Foundation a foreign agent of Korea), but the Federation later stated that the donation came at the encouragement of the KCIA."
- "The Heritage Foundation's income has increased every year since 1981. The progression has been: 1981--$7. 1 million; 1982-$8. 6 million; 1983--$10. 6 million; 1984--$10. 7 million; 1985-$11. 6 million; 1986--$14. 0 million; 1987--$14. 3 million; and 1988--$14. 6 million. In 1988, foundations provided 38 percent of Heritage's income, individuals provided 34 percent, and corporations gave 17 percent; the remainder came from investments and sales of materials."[32]

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after the Senate, in a 81 to 18 vote, passed a bipartisan proposal to address student loan interest rates, which doubled on July 1st:
"Today, the U.S. Senate took a concrete step toward restoring the economic security, educational opportunities, and peace of mind of America's students. For too long, millions of our country's best and brightest have been waiting for Congress to find a responsible solution to rising student loan interest rates. While House Republicans have insisted on saddling students with even more debt, the bipartisan Senate legislation seeks to ease that burden.
"This bipartisan compromise offers hardworking students and families critical protections, reduces rates on all new loans this year, and saves undergraduates $1,500 on average over the life of their loans. The plan caps market-based interest rates, ensuring students won't bear the brunt of skyrocketing rates in the future. While the House Republican bill only offered uncertainty, insecurity, and more debt for our students, the Senate compromise will restore a sense of security for nearly 11 million Americans.
"Much work remains to ensure that students and families can balance the cost of college with their financial responsibilities. Rather than balancing their budget on the back of middle class families, House Republicans should immediately take up and pass this proposal without further delay so we can keep college within the reach of all of America's students."
