Skip to comments.Falcons give Brian Banks a chance (spent 5 years in prison on false rape charge)
Posted on 04/04/2013 8:05:31 AM PDT by doug from upland
By now, Brian Banks is used to waiting.
He sat in prison for five years, punished for a crime he didnt commit. Freed last May after the victim admitted she had falsely accused him, the former USC recruit has been trying patiently but persistently to get a shot at the NFL.
Finally, hes getting one.
Jay Glazer of FOX, who has worked extensively with Banks to get him into NFL shape, reports that the Atlanta Falcons have signed Banks to a contract.
Banks, a linebacker, received tryouts last year from the Seahawks, Chargers, and Chiefs. Eventually, he joined the UFL and then the UFL promptly imploded.
The NFL wont be imploding any time soon. But the road for Banks remains steep.
Teams may have up to 90 players on the roster in the offseason. Hell now have to earn one of 53 regular-season spots or, failing that, one of eight jobs on the practice squad.
But at least he finally has a chance. We wish him well as he tries to make the most of it.
They should jail his accuser. 5 years MINIMUM.
Good for them and him. I hope he makes it and does well.
This "victim" should be put in jail herself...
I saw him on the news this morning. I hope he makes the team. Good luck to him.
I'm guessing that she copped a plea to come clean in return for immunity and anonymity. Otherwise, Banks would still be sitting in the slam. The cost of five prime earning years lost could easily exceed a Powerball jackpot.
In a few minutes, he will be on the Dan Patrick show on FOX Sports - in Los Angeles that is 570am
Is the girl in jail? She should get 2 days for each day he spent
That's the problem. Because they don't do that, it's easy to make a false accusation. They don't want to change that situation because it makes women look bad AND it makes you unable to buy your way out of a rape charge (which happens quite a lot).
Folks, he apparently plead, "No Contest" to the rape charge. That's why he's been in jail.
An innocent person would have fought a faked charge.
"An innocent person would have fought a faked charge".
Not necessarily. Remember, he was a teen when this happened. I am sure the deal was presented to plead no contest and serve 5 RATHER than serving 25 years. The article doesn't mention if he had a public defender.... I have the gut feeling that his parents couldn't afford a high priced criminal attorney.
Brian Banks' accuser didn't want to repay settlement, video shows
Theres an awesome video here of how the private investigator getting her to confess.
Wrong. Here is more background.
H. Elizabeth Harris The Attorney Who Recommended Brian Banks Plea Deal is a Judge Now
by Robert Littal | Posted on Thursday, May 31st, 2012
Just imagine for a moment you are 17 years old.
You have been arrested and accused of raping someone. You know that you didnt do it and you have told your defense attorney this many times and she looks at you in the eye and says.
Youre a big black teenager and theyre automatically going to assume you are guilty and youll be facing 41 years to life. What do you want to do?
This is the offer good for now and not later. Its your decision and not your moms,
This is what Brian Banks said his then defense attorney H. Elizabeth Harris said to him. He wanted to discuss his options with his mother, but wasnt allowed to.
Can you blame a scared and frightened Banks for taking the plea deal?
Without hearing Ms. Harris side of the story it is hard to say what exactly was going on, but knowing what we know now about Wanetta Gibsons going to trial wouldnt have been such a bad thing. A good defense attorney would have destroyed her story on the stand.
While Banks sat in jail and Gibson and her mom was making it rain with their $1.5 million settlement, Harris continued on with her life.
In 2004 she got a promotion.
Veteran criminal defense lawyer H. Elizabeth Harris has been elected a Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner by the courts judges, a court spokesperson said Friday.
Harris, 61, was the top-ranked candidate among 35 nominated by a panel of judges, and was the only one named on a majority of the ballots in voting for two positions.
Harris is now one of the Commissioners of the court, you can verify it here.
It appears that everyone went on to have a great life except Banks, image that
He has a shot with the Falcons which is great. If that doesn't work out maybe he should consider the CFL for a few years. Money isn't what it is in the NFL but the quality of football is good, comparable to larger college football programs here in the US.
This is extremely naive. First, most people don't have the money to fight a criminal prosecution. Second, the acquittal rate of those that do fight is very low. Third, the sentences for those that do fight and lose are much, much higher than those that plead guilty. Put all of that together and there are a lot of people who are not guilty but make the determination that the best way to cut their losses is to plead guilty.
The bottom line is that, innocent or not, if you are indicted, you have big, big problems.
That's what you think because that is what you would do. There are thousands who take a no contest plea after prosecutors pile charges on top of charges and tell you that you will get 20-30 years.
Your public defender is a putz, you have no money for a lawyer who will believe you and fight for you.
Then they offer you a plea bargain and you take it because you are scared and broke and you can't gamble 30 years of your life with the public defender putz rolling the dice.
Most people know jack squat about how the system works. It is a meat grinder.
I remember hearing about the case how his lawyer was pressuring the young teen to plead no contest for his best interest or face more years in prison. If I recalled correctly, the lawyer was telling him that there was no way he could win the case
An innocent person would have fought a faked charge.
From what I read, his attorney advised him that he was going to get convicted based on the witness testimony and they made a deal with the DA for a shorter sentence.
I know that in a perfect world, we think that innocent people are always found not guilty, but that's not how it always works in reality.
Testimony from a rape victim can be extremely powerful, even if it's false. The defense attorney probably thought the five years was the best deal he had in front of him.
"It appears that everyone went on to have a great life except Banks..."
AND that is why I am happy for him. I hope he gets this chance! I can't imagine being a 16 year old kid... signing on to a D1 college deal and having everything... college, your reputation and your freedom just taken away by some liar. I truly hope he can live out his dream....
The accuser contacted him via Facebook after he got out of prison. He arranged to meet her and recorded their conversation which is what led to his exoneration.
She sued the school district because the fake crime was on school grounds. She long ago blew through the 1.5 million dollar settlement, has never married and has two kids. The citizens of the area are very interested in getting their money back, but alas, it's gone. I don't know if anyone is looking to file charges against her.
He was 17 when his attorney tried to get him to make a plea deal. He refused because he hadn't done anything. She then told him he could take the five years in jail for a "no contest" please or face 40 to life. She told him he had to decide right then and couldn't even call his mother first.
His lawyer was scum who didn't want to go to trial and she won't discuss the case with anyone.
The one reason I don't like plea deals is for cases like this (and many others I am sure). Both attorneys... the defense and prosecution essentially "win" a case. They prop up their win portfolio on the backs of the innocent. My oldest will be 17 pretty soon... I can't imagine him facing "plead no contest and serve 5 or cling to your innocence and do 40". A grown man would have difficulty with that type of decision much less a teenager.
I hope his then lawyer (now judge) is ruined on a professional basis. I read a short article that said there was interest in a book or movie deal. Good! Sometimes bad cases like this can bring some light on a dark subject IMHO.
His story is supposed to be released on film -
I saw this story on 20/20 (i think) She sends him a message on facebook wanting to reconnect after the 5 years in prison. He decides to go along and get her to admit things on tape. Then he gets her to another meeting. I was hoping they would ask what motivated her to do this. It was bizarre and not even asked by the accused. The reporter didn't even ask him "why do you think she did this to you?" I was waiting for that question and answer but it never came. If this had happened to most people, the first thing they would ask after 5 years is "WHY did you do this to me?"
During the first meeting, when he asked her if she would be willing to recant and clear his name she said "I don't know, WE, (she corrects herself) I mean I, would have to pay all this money back. It would take a long time.
And bj clinton committed all those rapes and didn't spend a day in jail and he became president. America is so racist.
Go to your local library and check out "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham (non-fiction), read that tale of specious behavior by LE personel, review the Duke case and a few others then go ahead and post your comment a second time because your statement is so axiomatic.
Ever heard of Barry Sheck and the "Innocence Project"?????
Comments like yours give all of us Conservatives a bad name. (or are you a troll?)
I would guess that his lawyer, in addition to being the usual bloodsucking scumbag who wanted to enhance her resume with a win, is also a hard core feminazi who figured that Banks was still guilty of something on account of being a male.
Girls never lie about rape allegations, you know.
I also can't help but wonder if she got a piece of the 1.5 million $$$ settlement. It seems like that's an awfully large amount of money for one individual to blow through in roughly seven years. My tastes are so frugal that I'd have an awfully hard time spending $200K or so per year even if I tried.
If you get a check with seven figures all kinds of relatives, friends and other needy and worthy individuals will show up to help you with it.
Not piling on you with the others here, just wanted to relate my personal experience.
Someone very close to was falsely accused of a crime, the PD was beyond incompetent, and the supposed "victim" was himself a lawyer.
I was by my friends side through the while thing, and I can tell you that they scared the holy he77 out of my friend, who plead "No Contest" because they didnt want even the slightest chance of going to jail, because this person had young kids. My friend was, and still is, a Conservative, and we both had thought that most people who pled out were obviously guilty.
What I learned through that fiasco is that there is Justice, and then there is the "Legal System". Very loosely related. Its a game, a sport between both sides, and its dirty when you get down to the nitty gritty.
No way was my friend willing to take a chance. Ended up being under house arrest (ankle monitor) for 2 years, and probation for 5. Even had to pay some money back to the "aggrieved".
It was a total farce, and I will never view the "Legal System" again.
Is the girl in jail? She should get 2 days for each day he spent
It was a groundless, baseless lie to get back at his youngest daughter for some perceived insult. The little tart had been involved in this kind of crap before.
Our friend was repeatedly offered a plea bargain to a lesser charge, but he ended up fighting it. It ruined him financially. He lost his home, his job and eventually had to move to another state. But he was eventually completely exonerated and managed to keep his family together and start a new life. I'll never get over the disgust with how the legal system turned his life upside down when even a minimum effort in checking the little tart's claims would have proved the charges were bogus.
Nothing ever happened to his accuser. Her parents were trailer trash who couldn't have paid a judgment even if he had gotten one. They drank up every spare penny and went to the gubmint for more.
Financially, I have no doubt that he would have been better off by taking the plea bargain. But his kids and reputation were more important to him than than his finances.

Known as "The Little General", Hickey was a perfectionist and strict disciplinarian. He became famous among coaches for his detailed preparation, use of diagrams, and scouting reports. Hickey became the coach at Creighton University in 1935 and won the NIT title there in 1943. He led Creighton to four Missouri Valley Conference titles.

His St. Louis teams never had a losing season and Hickey led a team featuring Hall of Famer Ed Macauley to the 1948 NIT Championship. In 1958 he became basketball coach and athletic director at Marquette University where he won the NCAA Championship in 1959 and again in 1961. Hickey was named USBWA Coach of the Year in 1959.

Writer: Dodgers favorites to land Zack Greinke; Rangers on 'outside looking in'
The Rangers seem eager to beef up their starting rotation, so their interest in the free agent pitcher Zack Greinke seemed like a foregone conclusion as free agency kicked off earlier this month. But the Rangers have some serious competition when it comes to landing the best pitcher on the market, and the biggest threat seems to be a West Coast club with deep pockets, according to the Boston Herald's Michael Silverman.
"According to an industry insider, the Dodgers are the favorites to wind up with top free agent starter Zack Greinke, with the Angels and Rangers on the outside looking in," Silverman wrote this week.
The Dodgers were sold in March for a record $2 billion to a group of investors that included Basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson. The new ownership group hasn't been shy about spending wildly so far -- it absorbed more than $300 million in long-term salary commitments when it took Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett off the Red Sox's hands in August -- and the team is reportedly interested in adding Greinke to a rotation that already includes former Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw, Beckett, Chad Billingsley, Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang.
Perhaps more ominous was Silverman's other prediction when it came to the pitching market:
"No starting pitcher on the market is going to be complaining by the end of the hot stove season," he wrote.
In other words, prices could be sky-high for pitching talent this winter, and any bidding war that includes the free-spending Dodgers could be a tough one for the Rangers to win.

Foreshadowing Fall
I'm sitting in my room in Manila, trip slightly prolonged, looking out into the garden of eternal sunlight, dreaming of the crisp, moody New York City fall. A trip to my tailor's nearly cost me a finger, as I held up a piece of velvet chiffon and had my finger caught in a dirty steel ceiling fan #sufferingforfashion. I've been spending the last few weeks mapping out my looks for this season, and this endeavor involves a good deal of accessory planning. Here are my favorite recent acquisitions, nearly all in my favorite amalgamation of all colors forever and ever: black.

Skip to comments.The Time to Eradicate Retread Blog Pimps Has Arrived
Posted on 01/14/2013 8:30:08 AM PST by nyds
Today the people of the United States of America have an opportunity to make the world a better place. Rather than wasting time compromising the political ideologies of progressives and conservatives, Americans could use that time to employ modern economic and scientific advancements to eradicate poverty. The USA could lead the world into a new era where prosperity is the rule rather than the exception.
(Excerpt) Read more at newyorkdailysun.com ...
As long as there are lazy shiftless people there will be poverty...
I would argue we have already eradicated poverty. America's poor are the fattest people on the planet. Basic childhood diseases such as polio, smallpox, etc... have been eradicated. Everyone in this country can have basic food and shelter easily even if they don't lift a finger to help themselves.
In fact, our prosperity has resulted in a whole new set of problems - spiritual and moral poverty
Dick McDonald: Space Cadet!
Just send everyone a million bucks. All our problems would be solved. It works just this way for lottery winners, doesn't it?
That was quite an interesting way of framing Social Security privatization. It's true as well, but people almost never approach it from that direction.
No more welfare, food stamps, housing, medical care, etc!!!
Everyone make their own way in this world or quit taking up space on this planet!!!!
>> Rather than wasting time compromising the political ideologies of progressives and conservatives...
By using the word "progressive", which is a euphemism for "turd" favored by the left, the author outs himself as one of them.
>> Americans could use that time to employ modern economic and scientific advancements to eradicate poverty...
It would be more beneficial over the long haul to employ modern weapons advancements to eradicate progressives.
America's poor were materially better off than the poor anywhere in the world and materially better off than our middle class of 50 years ago. It was called the free enterprise system.
Then we started subsidizing and importing poverty with no thought as to how to pay for it . . . and we got more of it. Go figure.
I thought LBJ did that already in the 1960's. See how well it worked out?
Just start handing out trillion dollar coins. Problem solved.
Quit paying people not to work.
If most people opted for making a paycheck, they wouldn't BE 'staying on welfare and dependency programs'!
Sometimes the backassward logic of these progressive critters is SUCH a hoot!
So this is not an Onion spoof?
Universal Savings Account (USA) for everybody! You are forced to 'save' for your own good.
Now it is time for Obama$Care to take care of the 'poor'. Just think of the children!
The author might as well start the United Federation of Planets.
"There will always be poor" - Jesus Christ.
Pres. Obama, the great savior, can just make poverty illegal by executive order and that would solve everything.
The age old problem solved.
After all, it works with the budget, right?
The median household income in the US is less than $52,000 per year yet if you divide the total public aid spending by the number of recipients the per person amount is about $60,000 per year.
Putting aside how many people are in a "household" in this demographic group, just how much more should we be spending before the job of eliminating poverty is completed and we can move on to other important social issues?
pres Obama needs no stink'n budget.
he's been operating without a single budget.
/wonder how it will work if everybody operates without any budget
You ask excellent and totally logical questions, and even the authors idea of privatizing accounts is not a bad one.
The fatal assumption comes when one thinks the government has ANY interest in 'ending poverty'.
My neighbor who is close to my age,and who apparently made about the same annual income now collects disability practically equal to my take-home pay of a 40 hour job.
We both have back problems.He sits ayt home doped on prescribed painkillers in a rented house watching TV and gets help with rent and food as well.
I got a job where my back issues don't really matter,and mortgage payments.
Which one of us is living the American dream?
All kidding aside.
I have grown to be extra weary whenever I hear people starting their idea with phrases like 'Today the people of the United States of America have an opportunity to make the world a better place.'
Especially if the proposed 'remedy' is not based on individuals' own decision.
Reagan put us on this path, but it didn't involve Big Government, so the politicians, bureaucrats, media, and other useful idiots put an end to it.
As the lazy hillbilly said 48 years ago when Lyndon Johnson declared WAR on Poverty...."If the President wants me in THAT WAR he is going to have to draft me!"
The flaw is that the government will sooner or later raid or seize the funds for its own wasteful spending.

New York Daily Sun ^ | 14/01/13 | Dick McDonald
Typical liberal dumbass stooge! Hey McDonald, LBJ declared a war on poverty in 1964, and stated that poverty would be eradicated in 10 years (1974). How is that war coming along? We now have more people percentage-wise below poverty level than it was in 1964.
These liberals are the epitome of stupidity and wasted programs & policies. We need our own conservative country more than ever!
1. First, we have to define "poor." In the current zeitgeist it seems that the only people who aren't considered poor under any circumstances are millionaires. Ergo, a person with a million dollars cannot be considered likey one of the dreaded "working poor." So a million dollars it is.
2. Next, we instantly cure poverty by sending a check for $1 million to every American American citizen who isn't already a millionaire.
3. It would cost $300 trillion to honor these checks, so we get the mint to coin 300 $1 Trillion dollar coins. We could put LBJ's face on them as a consolation prize for having lost the War on Poverty. Obama can keep them in his bottom desk drawer. That way he can shine them whenever he likes and look at his majestic reflection in them.
Voila! Problem solved!! Next up: providing enough whellbarows so that no American is left without a way to carry enough money when he goes to the grocery store for bread.
So sorry but the "time to eliminate poverty". Isn't herte yet. The American public just voted for 4 more years of economic ruin and job losses.
You don't say much do you?
I dislike that the New York Daily Sun could be confused with several other news papers by people who aren't paying attention.
I don't see much Libertarianism in the articles you post. I see arguments for the reasonableness of progressive policies.
You haven't done any thing wrong and I'm not the posting police, but what is your intent? What do you hope to accomplish publishing these on Free Republic?
So sorry but the "time to eliminate poverty". Isn't herte yet. The American public just voted for 4 more years of economic ruin and job losses. "ELections have consequences" you know.
What part of "The Poor you will always have with you" does he not understand?
Nailed It!
Many a tyrant has come to power on the promise of eradicating poverty.
Good points all.
But Lefties don't believe in math.
Just the kind of "science" that gives them the answer they want.
The blog led to http://www.theusaplan.com/ which isn't a bad idea.
The deception to get people to the other web site, not such a good idea.
Just announce that the "poverty line" is now $5.00 per month. Presto! Everyone is living above the new poverty line and therefore no longer poor.
This is so simple I surprised Zero hasn't thought of it yet...or even V.P. Crazy Joe.
Exactly - is the author suggesting that these people be eradicated as the only way to get rid of poverty? No poor people = no poverty...
I have learned by experience that you CANNOT help some people. No matter how much you try to help, they ALWAYS make bad choices and do stupid things. So utopian marxist morons should not be taking MY money to try do something that is impossible . . . just to make themselves feel good . . . makes me feel terrible!!!
The poor will always be with us. - Jesus.
Today the people of the United States of America have an opportunity to make the world a better place.
they will just redefine "poverty". the reformer's problem isn't truly impoverished people. their problem is the difference in lifestyles. the problem is that there are comfortable people.
What poverty? Haven't we won LBJ's War on Poverty?
No matter HOW much money is given to poor people, they will still be poor. It's a self imposed mind set.

This example shows an implementation of a triangle wave generator circuit using two op-amps. The first op-amp acts as an integrator. The second op-amp acts as a non-inverting amplifier, with its output voltage limited to approximately plus or minus ten volts by the two zener diodes. The Sine Wave block modulates the waveform amplitude via the Variable Resistor block, and the DC Voltage Source can be used to add a DC offset. See the Example - Modeling a Triangle Wave Generator section of the Simscape™ Electronics™ User Guide for more information on how to construct this model using the Simscape™ and Simscape Electronics block libraries.
The two Band-Limited Op-Amp blocks are parameterized based on an LM7301 device. The datasheet gives the gain as 97dB which is equivalent to a gain of 10^(97/20)=7.1e4. Input resistance is given as 39e6 ohms, and slew rate as 1.25V per microsecond. Bandwidth is given as 4MHz. No value is given for the output resistance, so this is set to zero. In practice the output resistance will be small compared to output series 1000 ohm resistor in this circuit.

Currently a teacher can go to the "Categories and Items" page and hide a category containing assessment items. All of the items will be hidden which makes sense. The teacher can then manually make some of the items visible and the category remains invisible.
This conflict of an invisible category containing a visible item leads to some strange behaviour. The invisible category means the item won't be displayed to students on the user report but it appears that the visible, yet not displayed, item is still included in aggregation calculations. To fix that the teacher needs to show the category which then automatically shows everything else in that category so they then have to go through and hide everything but the one item they originally marked visible. Plus it's just generally illogical to to have a visible item in an invisible category.
When an item is made visible that should propagate up to its category.

I think this would create problems in several areas, instead in 2.0 we should create separate flag for hiding in grade_category,
so my -5 for 1.9.x
So we would have two hidden related flags. One indicating the item/category has been hidden/shown directly by the user. One indicating the item/category has been hidden/shown as a result of a parent being hidden or a child being shown. Two fields called something like hidden and indirectly hidden.
That would be kind of cool actually. Within a category you could show some items and hide others then hide the category. Later when you show the category the items would "remember" whether or not they were hidden or not prior to the category being hidden.
Can you explain more about problems this could cause as Im not sure what you mean?
In short any change in 1.9.8 that would be changed again 2.0 creates unnecessary problems and confusion for our users. Also some things might become suddenly visible which is something that is definitely not good for stable branch.
good point. we should probably avoid subtle behaviour changes in 1.9.8 then again in 2. Ill bring this up with Martin as to what should be done.
I'm proposing we leave this as is in 1.9 then implement it properly in moodle 2 with 2 hidden flags. 1 flag for directly being hidden and another indicating that the item has inherited being hidden. That way items can remember whether or not they were hidden or visible when their category is made visible.
I can't see real problems in this. There won't be any unexpected changes in hiding because it only happens when the user manually unhides something. Calculations are always looking at the actual hidden flag on the items (and will always do so) so nothing will change there by itself.
In 1.9.8 we should implement this so that the category grade_item (only) gets un-hidden whenever any other item in the category gets unhidden. This will also make the "eye" on the category open as well (as a side effect) only because it has to use the same flag.
In 2.0 we should implement this so that the category grade_item AND the category itself get unhidden. This will behave exactly the same as 1.9.8. The difference to 1.9.8 will only be when someone chooses to then hide the category grade_item (total) - in this case the category itself will not be changed at all (which is much better), thanks to
My +10 to go ahead.
Turns out the flag you were talking about Petr has already been added. In fact it was added by me. Im not sure what I was thinking. the second flag idea I was talking about is a bad idea.
Sorry, I am a little confused with the logic here.
So, I have a hidden category with hidden items, then I unhide one items and it will trigger the whole category to be unhidden too?
What if I do not want my student to know about that category, or its name, or that I even put the items in some category?
e.g. Compare visible courses in hidden categories scenario. If you allow that for an install, and then have a visible course in the hidden category, it will not show your category all of a sudden. Just the course.
I, personally, would expect that students will also see just the unhidden grade, but not my category.
With these changes if you have a hidden item in a hidden category and you unhide the item then the item and the category become visible. The other items in the category remain hidden.
Previously what happened on the user report was that if you unhid an item, as its category was still hidden, it wouldnt be displayed at all but it would be included in calculations.
"What if I do not want my student to know about that category, or its name, or that I even put the items in some category? "
I'm not sure how to handle that. I dont think you were ever able to show grade items in hidden categories. We could add a setting similar to the "allow visible courses in hidden categories" setting you described.
Yep, I understand that the other items will remain invisible.
My gap in logic lays the fact that child item influences the parent category.
I would (myself, again) think that it obvious that if the parent is hidden, and I want to unhide the child, then I need to move the child out of the parent category. Not that the child would just go and overrule the parent settings.
"I dont think you were ever able to show grade items in hidden categories." - correct. I am just thinking outloud about options
i am "reviving" this issue because of an strange behaviour.
It seems that the if some user changes any field of the item (not only the visibility), it changes the category visibility of the categories.
Should I create another bug for tracking this down?
Kind regards,
Hi Daniel Neis, thanks for reporting this.
I've created the MDL-46978 to fix the bug you've mentioned.
A university that is a technology platform customer of ours has raised this change as confusing. There is also a previously existing community discussion at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=200657
I have asked our client use the above community forum for discussion regarding this issue and recommend others to do the same.

Step 1: Submit an Admission Application and complete admissions file
Step 2: Apply for financial aid
Step 3: Attend New Student Orientation and complete placement testing
Step 4: Meet with an advisor and enroll online
Step 5: Pay tuition and buy books
It's easy to apply for admission to Henderson Community College. Just follow these simple steps:
Official documents must be mailed directly from their source (high school, college or GED Center) to:
Henderson Community College
Admissions and Records Office
2660 South Green Street
Henderson, KY 42420
If you have any questions about this process, please call the Admissions and Records Office at (270) 831-9652 or 1-800-696-9958, ext. 19652.
Go to www.fafsa.gov. This is the official financial aid website where you can apply for federal aid, state grants, and loans. You will need last year's tax forms (1040 forms, W-2's, etc.) as well as Henderson Community College's FAFSA code which is 001993. We recommend that you complete your FAFSA no later than March 1 in order to qualify for the most financial aid possible; however, the earlier you complete the FAFSA, the better chance you have of receiving grants. If you do not have access to a computer, you may come to the college and use one of the computers located outside the Admissions and Records Office.
You can click to complete a scholarship application for Henderson Community College. The scholarship deadline for Henderson Community College is March 15 for the subsequent fall semester. HCC strongly encourages you to apply for scholarships. You don't have to be a straight-A student to qualify for scholarship money at HCC! Your high school guidance counselor will have a list of scholarships from your community. If you have questions about the different types of financial aid or how to apply for financial aid, you may contact the Financial Aid Office at (270) 831-9628 or 1-800-696-9958, ext. 19628 or check out our Financial Aid FAQ.
There are three basic types of financial aid:
If you have questions about financial aid, please check out our Financial Aid FAQ.
A transcript is an academic record that shows the classes you have taken, the grades for those classes, your overall grade point average (GPA), and any degrees or diplomas you may have earned. Henderson Community College must have a transcript from each school that has been attended previously for a student's file to be complete.
All official transcripts should be sent to: Admissions and Records Office Henderson Community College 2660 South Green Street Henderson, KY 42420
If you have never attended college before, you probably have many questions. New Student Orientation is a two-hour meeting in which we try to answer your questions. Some of the topics we will cover include:
When you leave New Student Orientation, you will have an unofficial and tentative schedule of your first-semester classes to discuss with your advisor. New Student Orientation is required of all first-time college students. While orientation isn't required of transfer students, we recommend transfer students attend so you can learn the policies and procedures at Henderson Community College. Once you apply to Henderson Community College, you will receive a postcard indicating that we received your application. We will then contact you by letter. The letter will direct you to contact the college and make an appointment for New Student Orientation.
Completing an orientation session will prepare you for your first meeting with your academic advisor. During orientation we will explain various college processes to you, allow you to ask any questions you may have, and most importantly, teach you to read a college class schedule and help you determine the classes needed during your first semester. By doing this, you will be prepared to meet with your academic advisor and enroll in classes. Watch your mailbox closely as more information will be sent to you about how to schedule an orientation session. To go ahead and schedule an orientation session, please call (270) 831-9610.
At Henderson Community College, we want all students to be successful. In order to ensure success, we need to place each student in the appropriate level of classes, depending upon each student's academic preparedness. We use several measurement tools to determine academic preparedness:
ACT: This assessment is required of all Kentucky high school juniors. The ACT can be taken multiple times and it is typical for students to take the ACT again their senior year. If certain benchmark scores are not reached, students will then need to take the COMPASS placement exam. To schedule an ACT exam, you may go to www.act.org.
The current ACT benchmarks for Henderson Community College are:
If these benchmarks are not reached, then the COMPASS placement exam should be scheduled.
COMPASS: This free assessment is taken only by those students who either did not make the appropriate benchmarks on the ACT or who never took the ACT. It can be scheduled by calling the Testing Center at (270) 831-9610 or 1-800-696-9958, ext. 19610.
SAT: Some out-of-state students may have taken the SAT. If this is the case, Henderson Community College can accept this test by comparing the SAT scores with ACT scores. Additional testing may still be needed. If you have questions about the SAT, you may call the Testing Center at (270)831-9610 or 1-800-696-9958, ext. 19610 or the Admissions and Records Office at (270) 831-9610 or 1-800-696-9958, ext. 19610.
Some students may have to complete placement testing depending upon ACT or SAT scores. If you aren't sure whether you need placement testing, scroll up to the section about "COMPASS Assessment". Watch your mailbox closely as more information will be sent to you about placement testing. To schedule placement testing please call (270) 831-9610 or 1-800-696-9958, ext. 19610.
Absolutely! In fact, due to HCC's unique positioning near several states, we have special tuition arrangements with many out-of-state counties.
• If you live in the following counties, designated as reciprocal counties, you are automatically charged in-state tuition:
o Indiana Counties: Gibson; Perry; Posey; Spencer; Vanderburgh; Warrick
• If you live in the following counties, designated as contiguous counties, you are charged a special tuition rate that is less than full out-of-state tuition:
o Illinois Counties: Alexander; Gallatin; Hardin; Massac; Pope; Pulaski
o Indiana Counties: Crawford; Dearborn; Floyd; Franklin; Harrison; Jefferson; Ohio; Ripley; Scott; Switzerland; Washington
Tuition rates do change periodically. Check the website for current tuition rates.
Typically, once you have lived in Kentucky for 12 consecutive months, you are considered a resident of the state and will then qualify for in-state tuition. However, under certain circumstances, that length of time may be shortened. If you have questions about residency, call (270) 831-9716 or 1-800-696-9958, ext. 19716.
Residency Application Form
Once the admissions process has been completed, you will make an appointment with your advisor to discuss your course schedule and then enroll online in your classes. Don't worry if you don't know who your advisor is—we will give you this information during New Student Orientation or you can contact the Admissions & Records Office at 270-831-9610 or 1-800-696-9958, ext. 19610.
At Henderson Community College, we pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of programs from which students may choose. There are two types of degrees that can be obtained from Henderson Community College: Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree: The AAS degree is a technical degree designed to train the student for a specific occupation in a relatively short amount of time so the student can enter the workforce quickly. Currently, HCC offers nine different AAS degree programs noted below.
Associate in Arts (AA) or Associate in Science (AS) Degree: The AA and AS degrees are general education degrees designed for students who want to complete their general education curriculum and then transfer to a four-year institution to complete a Bachelor's degree. Our transfer degrees are designed to easily transfer to any Kentucky institution as well as most institutions in the southern Indiana area.
You can find more information about the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees on the HCC website.
In addition to these degree options, Henderson Community College offers diplomas as well as certificates for many different programs.
Some students want a technical degree (AAS) so they can join the work force as quickly as possible, but other students would like to pursue a Bachelor's degree. While Henderson Community College doesn't offer Bachelor's degrees, HCC does offer the AA or AS degree, both of which transfer very easily to a four-year institution. While both degrees require some of the same classes, both degrees also have some basic differences:
Our nursing programs and dental programs noted below are designated as selective admissions programs. For more specific information about these programs, please see the following links:
A syllabus is an outline of classroom policies, procedures, and educational topics to be covered in a particular class. A syllabus typically lists the expectations an instructor has for the students, and some syllabi even list the expectations a student should have for the instructor. A syllabus is typically given to each student at the beginning of the semester for each class the student attends. All instructors at Henderson Community College use syllabi, so if you are taking four classes, you should receive four syllabi.
At Henderson Community College, we believe advising is a learning opportunity. As such, we believe the student should know what is expected of him or her when that student meets with his or her advisor. HCC has developed an advising syllabus, which contains basic information about the student's chosen field of study as well as expectations for both the student and the advisor. This syllabus should be brought to each advising appointment and used during that appointment. It is the student's responsibility to bring the advising syllabus to the advising appointment. While you will receive a copy of the advising syllabus in New Student Orientation, if you would like, you can print a copy now.
Download the Advising Syllabus.
This is a very important decision each student has to make, and the decision is dependent upon many variables. Some obligations you may need to consider before making this decision might include:
This topic will be covered in more detail during New Student Orientation, and the student should also discuss this matter with his or her advisor before enrolling in classes.

The Best HCG Diet Food
Category :HCG diet dangers 0
The foods allowed by the low calorie HCG diet are carefully screened. You can't just take any foods low on calorie and eat them. Being low calorie is just one of the aspects of the diet that makes it effective. It is at the same time a detox calling for fiber rich foods and lots of liquids, and good amounts of proteins are also required to build and safeguard muscle tissues. The HCG diet wants you to have all kinds of vitamins and minerals to make sure you maintain good health while you are dieting.
The HCG diet focuses on two things that you lose weight fast and you keep the diet results permanently. Being fast, it's able to drop half pound at the very least daily, it's time frames are rather short. There are two time frames. One covers 23 days for those who do not have much to lose. Another covers 40 days for the seriously fat. Still the diet knows that healthy eating habit plays a critical role in providing a long-term solution to the weight problem. Thus, the HCG diet might be very low calorie, but it selects foods to allow very carefully.
The HCG diet comes with a recipe that its founder, Dr. Simeons, formulated. There is no doubt the hCG diet food is ion that recipe since the doctors has tested the recipe for a long time before releasing it for public consumption. The foods, mostly vegetables, fruits, sea food and lean meats, contained in the recipe meet the requirements of the HCG program. They have plenty of protein, fiber and minerals and vitamins your body needs to keep healthy. They contain very little calories – just 500 calories – to make sure you lose weight.
There are many HCG diet variations offered by some HCG experts. It would be wise not to utilize versions until you have compared them with the original found in the book "Pounds and Inches" that Dr. Simeon wrote. You can also consult a nutritionist of a doctor about changes to the original.
The reason why you have to be careful about changes in the foods recommended by Dr. Simeon is that HCG diet dangers may arise out of it. The foods in the original diet recipe had been tested for their ability to help activate the HCG hormone you take in conjunction with the weight loss diet. If you have read anything about how the HCG program works, you know that the HCG hormone has a lot to do with speeding up your metabolic process which results in fast fat loss and reduction in food cravings. The fast metabolic process also generates lots of calories, so that you will weaken at all.
The risks you face in changing some of the food items in the recipe are too great. Perhaps, you just have to follow the recipe, but if you cannot do that, do not forget to consult somebody professional, so that you will still lose weight as expected and serious dangers can be avoided.

|In response to Re: heat cast iron joint or dig out?
: My washer drains into a cast iron pipe with a sharp bending trap and then goes directly into one of the main vertical waste pipes in my house. It slows regularly and water overflows into my basement. I'm thinking of removing the cast iron and replacing with PVC. Should I heat the cast iron joint or dig it out?
Dig it out. LonnythePlumber

The world's best youngsters have descended on France for the Junior World Championship, and one can expect a familiar tale to unravel.
The world's best rugby-playing youngsters have descended on France for the Junior World Championship, and one can expect a familiar tale to unravel.
In the tournament's five-year history, only two teams have lifted the title, with New Zealand winning the first four editions before South Africa came out on top on home soil last year. A further two teams (England and Australia) have made it to the final in years gone by, and one imagines it will once again be Junior All Blacks and Baby Boks that hit the front in 2013.
Pool A: South Africa, France, England, USA
South Africa have been dealt two heavy blows in the build-up to the competition, with Jan Serfontein's success at Super Rugby level seeing the centre called up to the senior Bok side and Kings winger Sergeal Petersen ruled out by injury. Despite this, the Baby Boks look a competent outfit, if not as well rounded as the previous vintage.
France's Christopher Tolofua is one young gun who has already claimed higher honours, with the Toulouse hooker having turned out for France in two Tests last year. Together with strong-running winger Teddy Thomas, who enjoyed a sparkling debut Top 14 season, Tolofua will be one of those coach Didier Retière will be counting on to help get the hosts out of a tough pool. With will sorely miss the presence of Toulouse centre Gael Fickou, who is with the senior French squad in New Zealand.
Eight members of the England team that finished a dismal seventh in the 2012 event once again get a shot at the JWC title, including skipper Jack Clifford. It surely can't get any worse for England this year, but should they lose their opening fixture to the hosts it could just do so. London Irish winger Anthony Watson is one to look out for out wide, with the 19-year-old a very dangerous runner.
The United States haven't turned out at the tournament since 2008 when they were relegated to the Junior World Trophy where they were promoted from last year. The Young All Americans are definitely an unknown quantity but are sure to possess some raw talent that could see them put up a strong performance or two. Whether that can be sustained over 80 minutes appears unlikely.
Pool B: Australia, Fiji, Ireland, New Zealand
New Zealand have assembled a strong squad, with two players with Super Rugby experience in skipper Ardie Savea and centre Jason Emery, and 12 who turned out in last year's ITM Cup. It's this kind of experience that could prove crucial as while many teams posses a star of the future or two, few have as many top-level performers across the park.
Last year's Australia squad included now Super Rugby regulars Kyle Godwin, Chris Feauai-Sautia and of course Liam Gill. Nick Frisby was also involved so the hope will be that they can produce similar prospects in the tournament. It is a tough Pool though for coach Adrian Thompson, whose side's games will be played at Stade de la Rabine, Vannes.
Ireland head into the competition on the back of a mixed bag of results in the U20 Six Nations in which they beat England courtesy of a late Tom Daly penalty but were held to a 25-all draw by Italy and lost to Wales. Mike Ruddock will be looking for more consistency from his team in France and they'll need it in a tricky group. Daly's partnership in the midfield with Rory Scannell will be a key area for the Irish.
The name that immediately jumps off the Fiji teamsheet is that of Marika Vunibaka. No, the Sevens star hasn't been given a free pass into the competition, but rather his nephew comes into the limelight with the hope of carrying on the family tradition.
Pool C: Argentina, Samoa, Scotland, Wales
Having lost just once in the U20 Six Nations earlier in the year, Wales skipper Ellis Jenkins will be hoping his troops can muster the same kind of performances that saw them beat all but England, with an added ruthless edge that at times was missing. Jenkins himself is one to keep an eye on in France, with the back rower following closely in the footsteps of Lions captain and Cardiff colleague Sam Warbuton in more ways than one. Having made the semi-finals last time out, Wales will feel they have a decent chance of topping Pool C.
The 2012 JWC was somewhat of a wonder year for Argentina, finishing fourth after topping their pool. It will be tough for Los Pumitas' to repeat the feat. However, they are boosted by the fact that playmaker Patricio Fernández, a star of the show last time out, will once again be around to pull the strings – as will six other members of the class of 2012 – and the knowledge that they beat the defending champions, South Africa, in warm-up matches earlier this year.
The young Scots seem set for a poor time of it despite being in what on the face of it appears to be the easiest pool. With just two wins in the U20 Six Nations (albeit one was the surprise scalp of Ireland) and not a single victory in last year's JWC, it's going to take something special for Sean Lineen's men to go deep in the competition. Having topped the scoring charts last year, Jamie Farndale will be one of those needed to provide spark and after nine months on the sidelines due to a fractured leg, Farndale will certainly be looking to return with a bang.
Samoa finished winless in South Africa last year and first and foremost their aim will surely to be to get a victory under their belt and avoid returning to the IRB Junior World Trophy where they spent 2011. The versatile Fomai Ah Ki will be hoping his experience from the past campaign will aid his side going forward.
More than 200 players have made the jump from the Junior World Championship to the Test arena and IRB Chairman Bernard Lapasset admits he's excited to get a glimpse at what the future has to offer.
"Talking to the captains this afternoon, you get a sense of just how exciting this year's tournament is going to be. There are some mouth-watering matches in store and personally I can't wait to see France take on England in "Le Crunch" at La Roche-sur-Yon on Wednesday," he commented.
"These players have an excellent opportunity at this tournament, and it's up to them to grasp it with both hands. The scene is set, the preparations are in place and now it's just all down the players to give it their best."

Part I: This begins a news series on the economic summit and its speakers and breakout sessions
The inaugural economic summit was held in Castle Dale on Sept. 14. The event was attended by 125 interested people. Marc Stilson, the chairman of the Emery County Economic Development Council welcomed everyone to the event and thanked them for coming. Stilson said this is the first summit to promote economic growth in the county and plans are underway to make it an annual event. He said that in setting goals this year for the economic development council the top idea was to hold an economic summit to generate some positive energy and present a good forum on how to grow and sustain quality growth in our community.
Stilson said, "The only thing constant in life is change and we must be able to adapt to change in order to be successful." Commissioner Drew Sitterud introduced the new economic development director for Emery County, Mike McCandless.
Deb Dull from Utah Power announced the guest speaker for the morning session, Bob King from Innerwest Mining. Several breakout sessions were held throughout the morning and the lunch speaker was candidate for governor, Jon Huntsman, Jr.

New state tests based on Ohio's Learning Standards will start during the 2014-2015.There are two former tests that will continue in the short term. In 2014-2015 school year, third-graders will take the Ohio Achievement Assessment in reading only. Students in the Class of 2014 through 2017 will continue to take the Ohio Graduation Tests if they still need to pass one or more sections. Both of these tests do not cover all the content of the learning standards.
A. The Ohio Department of Education, American Institutes for Research staff and committees of Ohio educators reviewed questions on the third grade Ohio Achievement Assessments and the Ohio Graduation Test, which originally aligned to the 2001-2002 standards. Reviewers decided if a question aligned to one of Ohio's Learning Standards. If it did, the question stayed in the test bank for the 2014-2015. If it did not align to a learning standard, the reviewers deleted the question.
A. The dual aligned questions in the tests must meet current blueprint and statistical requirements. Questions do not move from one grade level test to another grade level test.
Science: Questions identified as dual aligned and within the grade band are considered appropriate for the test. To meet the Ohio Graduation Test requirements, the following types of questions will still appear on Ohio Graduation Tests.
Social Studies: The Ohio Graduation Tests for social studies in the future will be dually aligned with the focus on American History and Modern World History. However, in order to maintain the test requirements, or blueprints, of the social studies the Ohio Graduation Test, a few questions from the following 2002 benchmarks on the OGT 2014 -15 and beyond will be on People in Societies A-C; Geography A-C; Economics A-B; Government A-B; Citizens Rights & Responsibilities A-B.
English Language Arts and Mathematics: Questions identified as dual aligned and at or below the tested grade band are appropriate for the test.
A. Ohio's Learning Standards. By teaching Ohio's Learning Standards, teachers are preparing students for the assessments they are taking. Teachers should prepare students on above content in science and social studies that will be included on the OGT.
Last Modified: 11/10/2015 5:03:22 PM
Pursuant to ORC 3301.079 (B) (3) and 3313.60, it is the responsibility of Ohio's local boards of education to vet and approve curriculum and educational materials for use in the public schools within their district. The use of any materials posted or linked to on the Ohio Department of Education website, including materials within Ohio's Learning Standards or Appendices or any state model curricula or other educational resource material, is entirely up to the discretion of each local board of education.

As late as 1910 men came digging on Vansittart and Tin Kettle Islands looking for skeletons. Here we moved them where none will find them, at the dead of night my people removed the bodies of our grandmothers and took them to other islands, we planted shamrocks over the disturbed earth, so the last resting place of those girls who once had slithered over the rocks for seals will remain a secret forever.

Kernel Seasons Review & Giveaway
Kernel Seasons has changed the way we eat popcorn. We rarely ate popcorn but after tatsing all of the seasonings Kernel Seasons offers we will eat popcorn all the time.
We had the chance to review all the flavors.
My favorite being White Cheddar & Nacho Cheddar.
My husband loved the Cajun, Jalapeno, & Parmesan Garlic. ( he ate all 3 bowls)
We had a popcorn party & our friends gave us their opinions.
They loved Ranch & Barbeque.
We also recieved popcorn kernels. I love to pop our own kernels it always tastes better than microwaved.
To keep the seasonings on we used the spritzer.
I loved using the movie butter topping. Extra Buttered popcorn with White Cheddar is the best.
I wasnt sure if I would like the Chocolate Marshmellow it just didnt sound like it would go with popcorn but it was so good.
My cousin borrowed the Chocolate Marshmellow & Carmel and mixed them together. She loved it.
Popcorn is a healthier snack and with all these seasonings you cant go wrong.
These seasonings would also be good for cooking other foods.
(My husband used the Nacho Cheddar on his burger tonight!)
Kernel Seasons is having me give away a gift pack of two microwave popcorn pack & 3 seasonings. ( white cheddar, nacho cheddar & kettle corn.) Giveaway ends June 24th!

Captivating and funny, no one can resist a heartfelt phrase about love and romance that really tells it like it is! Created in a gold-tone, this ring features a full colored image encircled by a rim of aurora crystal, set under an acrylic dome. A mixed metal finish adds to the retro appeal of the design. The ring measures 1-3/16"L x 1-3/16"W x 7/16"H with an adjustable band. Sure to be a conversation starter.
Complete the look with the matching bracelet 129-903.
Part of the Sweet Romance Collection. Made in the United States.
