Lou Dobbs has surfaced on the Fox Business Network. I wonder if his divorce from CNN has humbled him or maybe given him a different outlook on issues affecting immigrants and Latinos.
It's been a while since he's been on television getting all the attention. Well, there was that controversy in October 2010; when reporter, Isabel MacDonald with The Nation said she learned that Dobbs had hired undocumented workers to work on his horse farm in New Jersey. He denies the accusations.
If you've been living under a rock; Dobbs was on CNN since the 1980's. I remember him as a financial guru on CNN's Moneyline. That's where th guy made a name for himself.
By the tail end of his career at the Cable News Network he was very right winged and very anti-immigrant. Most times—just plain ugly about undocumented workers. I'm still shocked he is married to a Latina.
Much of his mean spirited rants were sensationalized inaccurate information about undocumented workers. In May, 2007, 60 Minutes called him out on numerous inaccuracies on his Dobbs reports. Here's a portion of the interview:
Here's more on the 60 Minutes Show and more fact checking by the group, Truth in Immigration:
I thought Dobbs was going to surface as a politician. It sounded like he was headed that way when he resigned in November 2009 from CNN. Here's what he said on his last show.
"Over the past six months, it has become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving as well as to contribute positively to a better understanding of the great issues of our day and to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible,"
Though Dobbs has been hired to do a business show called "Lou Dobbs Tonight" at Fox; I get the feeling one way or another this guy won't be able to stay away from talking about undocumented workers. Remember that's what got him ratings over at CNN. He'll need good ratings to keep his job at Fox.

Lawmakers balk on House pension bill
The fate of a last-minute pension reform plan is in doubt after the Illinois House adjourned Monday afternoon without calling for a vote.
The House is scheduled to reconvene today, but local lawmakers are skeptical that the attempt to tackle the state's $96 billion unfunded pension liability will be approved.
Today is the last full day of the lame-duck session. On Wednesday, the General Assembly elected in November will be sworn in. If the House approves the measure, the Senate would have to be called back into session to vote on it for it to pass.

The Toff In Town, VIC
This event has passed and sales are now closed
After 12 months of touring Australia, smashing milestones from Meredith Music Festival to the world-famous Spiegeltent, Cash Savage and the Last Drinks have taken a month's breathing time, secure in the knowledge that they are no longer one of Melbourne's best-kept secrets.
Excited to bring their eagerly-awaited second album to fruition, the band is gearing up for four straight shows at the Toff in Town, in the band's beloved hometown of Melbourne. The gigs are a chance to showcase a treasure trove of anticipated new material, while satisfying the local crowd's hunger for the band's classic signature tunes, including rollicking live-favourite One Key, and violin-heavy heartbreaker, Sooner or Later. After so many months of breaking new ground across the country, from regional theatres to time-honoured venues of the big smoke, it's time to come back home. Join the troupes in September when Cash and her beloved band head up the Toff, to be greeted by familiar faces, new friends, and the adoration of what has become one of Melbourne music's most loyal followings. Tickets $10.00 + BF on sale from Moshtix - phone: 1300 GET TIX (438 849), on-line: www.moshtix.com.au or Moshtix outlets including Polyester (City) / $12.00 on door. http://cashsavage.com.au/

Road to Rocky Raccoon
Now, let's be clear about why that commitment was a little out of the blue for me:
- I've never run a race on trails... at all.
- I've never run a race longer than a marathon. No 50Ks yet.
- I'd only even ran on trails maybe 3 times.
- I had a super crazy marathon schedule still left to take care of.
With all of that said, once I commit to something, I stay committed. In the last 5 months of training, I have run 960 miles. My training peaked in January with 245 miles. Also, in that 5 months, I ran 8 runs over 20 miles - including 3 marathons and 1 30-miler. Several of those long runs were also back-to-back with other double digit runs.
I do not question if I've put in the miles. I know I have. I've also been as open as I can to advice and input from people with a lot more trail experience than me (and I feel very indebted to them). But I still know that I have never raced on trails. And I know that I've never raced further than a marathon. And lastly, I know that I have very few hours on trails - not because I didn't want to train on trails, but because I have an atypical situation that results in lack of childcare most of the time... which actually means 80% of my runs are spent on a treadmill - which isn't exactly a good simulation for trails.
I know I will go into this race with a lot of shortcomings... but I'm OK with that. I have the miles on my legs. I have been uninjured the entire time. I feel mentally prepared. And no matter who you are, there's always something you could have done better in your training. I had to train the best I could with my circumstances, which really aren't conducive to hours of outdoor training, especially on trails - despite my desires.
And despite this lovely forecast:
I plan to get there and give my best effort to claw my way to the finish, no matter how long it takes. Although it would be swell if I could finish my 50-miler before Ian Sharman finishes 100-miles (a 7:30 pace for 100 miles is just not right).
Heading out tomorrow at noon so I can make it to Huntsville in time for the trail briefing. Excited!!! And freaked out!!!

The former city councilman was convicted in July of using taxpayer money to fund his nonprofit organization, while placing his family and friends in no-show jobs.
Seabrook asked for a new trial and an acquittal.
He claimed there were issues with the indictments and insufficient evidence.
But a federal judge says his argument is "without merit" and there was "overwhelming evidence of guilt."

The following is an article submitted by Debi Golebiewski, co-chairman of the Lee County Relay for Life, about the harrowing experience Relay faced Friday night when a severe thunderstorm blew through Saltillo's city park and the region. I was at Relay, and it was a scary moment for all of us who took shelter in the community center. You know something was wrong when Kevin Russell, the radio personality and Relay co-chairman, got on the mic at the park about 6 p.m. telling the teams to tear down their tents because the storm was on its way.
Lee County Relay For Life Successful Although Hindered by Storm
By Debi Golebiewski
If you were not in attendance at the Lee County Relay for Life on Friday, June 12, 2009, you have no idea the experience we shared. The emotions raced from lows to highs but the event was a success. Shortly after everyone began gathering at the park for the Relay for Life, horrendous storms and winds blew through the area. (Photo of clouds over city park before the storm hit). The tents were destroyed, the luminaries blew away along with money, people were drenched and feelings were hurt. All of the hard work the teams had done, organizing their tents and working on their fundraiser projects was gone with a quick whoosh of strong wind! The event was moved to the inside of the Community Center (what could be salvaged) and as they say in showbiz, "the show must go on," and it did.
Without allowing the storms to stop the show, the gospel concert inside the community center went on without missing a beat. Everyone who stayed for the duration of the event was blessed with some wonderful music, food and fun that seemed to make a bad situation turn good.
Although, with the terrible weather and the winds taking away some of the money, we fell short of our goal, we still had a wonderful relay and received a true blessing. The luminary ceremony seemed like a lost cause when everything became air-born, but soon after the winds subsided, a group of concerned relayers set out to hunt for any money that might have settled in the park or anything else of value that might be used. Returning to the community center, a small group of people brought a couple of checks in that we could salvage. Then, one of the volunteers, Gene Echols, president of the local North Lee Civitans, slipped and fell in a mud puddle! There at his side was the entire list of names for our luminary ceremony. Although it was torn and wet, we brought it inside and dried it with great care so we could at least have a partial luminary ceremony. (Photo of the luminary forms, along with money and a check that were recovered).
As the time drew near, we gathered together and planned to show two luminary bags; one representing all of the names "in honor of" and another for all of the names "in memory of".
Debi Golebiewski and Gene Echols approached the microphone and started the luminary ceremony as Gene gave his own testimony of how he found the list of names. Then, turning the microphone over to Debi Golebiewski, each and every name was carefully read aloud to all of the 300 people still in attendance. There were only a few dry eyes in the center at that point. Once all names had been read and the flames from the two glowing luminary bags was extinguished, a cardboard box was circulated as an offering in a church service. By the time the box had made it through the building, people had donated $600! A blessing had been witnessed right there.
The 2009 Relay for Life might have been short of the expected totals of money raised but the event was a success. It will go down in history. Perhaps next year, we need T-shirts that read,"I SURVIVED THE 2009 RELAY FOR LIFE". Thank you to all of the teams and volunteers who worked tirelessly to make everything perfect for the event. And, thank you to all of the many people who gave donations for the event. It is very much appreciated. Without all of you, there is no way the Relay for Life would ever be a success.

Pearl Rings BY:AMT 1/4"
Incl VAT plus shipping
What can we say, Designer Alissia Melka-Teichroew simply created a whole new category when she launched her quintessential 'diamond' rings. You don't like diamonds? Strange but here is your alternative: The Pearl Ring Precision laser cut out of Acrylic in an abundance of colors they can be worn as a single, but we prefer them stacked. Take 2 colored ones and add a black one in the middle, it's all up to you, play with them until you've found your favorite combination. Or do the opposite, don't ever wear the same combination twice, there are so many variations that you can create, virtually limitless... And even though it might not be a 'real' pearl ring, if you ask anybody to draw a pearl ring from the side – this is exactly what they will draw. Sizes/Diameter: Size 5 - 16 mm If you are wondering what size you need, click click here, most international sizes are provided. |

ConcreteNetwork.com has just published new, updated foundation repair information for homeowners that covers causes and signs of foundation failure, and information on repair methods.
Calimesa, CA (PRWEB) January 17, 2013
ConcreteNetwork.com, leader for concrete information online, has updated its online foundation repair information with new tips on repairing distressed foundations, and information on the causes and signs of foundation failure. This new information is a great resource for homeowners researching and learning about the topic of foundation repair and commonly used repair methods.
Foundation failure, also known at foundation settlement, is a serious and potentially expensive problem to encounter, that can lead to structural problems with the home. Fortunately, there are two methods of repair, hydraulic piering and slabjacking that can fix distressed foundations before the problem gets too severe.
ConcreteNetwork.com has recently updated its foundation repair information to cover today's latest advances in foundation repair, including information on the methods mentioned above. The site also offers homeowners articles covering a variety of other important topics related to foundation repair.
Articles take an extensive look at the causes and signs of foundation failure, along with cost information, and a detailed look at the two most commonly used repair methods. Giving consumers a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips, they can properly research foundation repair options and techniques, and go on to make a more informed purchasing decision when the time comes to hire a professional.

Apr 28, 20139This is a really great game because it is so out of the ordinary it isn't a first person shooter and it isn't a strategy game It is just the type of game that has endless possibility's use your mind to re create ideas or things in ordinary life into the game and it's just a game you use to relaxe and calm your mind I love it
Apr 27, 20134
Apr 27, 201310My favourite edition of Minecraft with excellent crafting better graphics and amazing split-screen and with lots of features and now with spawn eggs and The End and all the leaderboards, achievements and HD graphics and excellent controls and well worth the 1600 MSP the best XBLA game
Apr 20, 20139
Apr 12, 201310Comparing this to the PC version is unfair it is a secondary edition. So the game is good and while their are no mods or texture packs the game still is really fun. In short if you prefer Xbox to PC this is a must buy!
Apr 5, 201310
Apr 2, 20138I get that it is more of a medium of creation than an actual game and in that regard it is fantastic. The only reason I don't score it higher is because of 360 version's limitations. If ever there was a game that warranted micro transactions for mods, this would be it. Curious that Mojang haven't exploited this, yet.
Mar 29, 20131It is missing all of the of updates and thy makes it very boring. Also the pc edition seems to be more accessible. Shame. I loved minecraft one day. Now I just can't look at it. Perhaps if the updates are applied.:. This edition would earn a 8 out of ten. Nope.

Mar 18, 20139Grab some friends, make some plans and start your very own adventure! With Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition's smooth and easy to control gameplay and sublime mechanics, you'll easily find yourself murdering time with your thumbsticks!
Feb 1, 20135I much prefer the PC version over this one. Creative mode is really lacking. Controls could be better well (making it easier to run and fly in creative mode would be a huge step forward imo). Adding local co-op would be a huge plus as well. Overall, I am rather disapointed with it.
Jan 23, 20139
Jan 16, 20138If you don't have a PC then this is the best option. That's the best I can really say. It's the next best option. The world size is limited and it's several updates behind, but it is based entirely on the PC version and not built from the ground like the App version.
Jan 2, 201310pro!
Dec 23, 20129
Dec 20, 201210I have not been so completely engrossed in a simple game like this in a while! Such a simple premise, yet so engaging to the imagination. I have resisted the urge to use creative mode as much as I can because I like the sense of accomplishment of building something incredibly huge with materials I collected myself.

Oct 11, 20127This game is great fun, unfortunatly it is heavly over shadowed by the seeminly lack of interest by its devs fabs have been waiting for an update for months now.
Sep 27, 20120This is a casual game for plebeians without taste, or for people who don't have a PC to run this game. As a port it was even worse (shockingly) than the PC version because it lacked the ability to use mods, which make up most of the PC game play.

Aug 10, 201210I love this game!!!! Maps ARE HUGE like i play 10 hours a day and i still have not uncovered the whole map everything on this game is great you need to get this game now!!!!!!!!

Jul 23, 20129I like it it's the original minecraft but with a better crafting mode, the maps are smaller and is a old version but the splitscreen mode is fantastic.
Jul 22, 20128If you like vanilla minecraft this is a must get. Im pretty sure they will add texture packs later in the games life but even now I say its a must buy ONLY if you don't have the pc. If you do its still a great game but it will get old fast

Jul 6, 20129This game has all the best values of an officially packaged game, with the addition of fresh new ideas. However, it can be a bit difficult to get to grips with the controls, but for the casual gamer, this is a must buy.

Jun 24, 20128This game Sucks compared to the PC version, no mods, no recent updates, no split screen unless you have HDTV, the game feels boring when you play alone, the menu is horrible and way to slow , maps are small.
Jun 23, 20129
Jun 20, 20129
Jun 18, 20120It's really broken.
I would just get it on PC if you want to get it at all.
You get mods, actually unlimited generation and the actually whole fame. -

Jun 10, 20129now if your thinking of buying this game then you should even if your not a regular online player its a good game the reason i took 1 mark off is because its better if you are but still it dosnt really matter its thats the only reason so buy this game...........willy out :) peace

May 29, 201210A fantastic game regardless of the platform. This version contains the main features, but unfortunately does not yet include some more recent updates. A tutorial, crafting information and game hints are all available to the players, preventing the need to research information. Definitely a must buy for Minecraft fans and a great experience for new players.
May 29, 20128A new feel really. The game is not fully updated and a skin system has yet to be introduced. The multiplayer is now seamless from one game to another. This version is geared for social players. Same as the PC. Nothing new in this one. Recommand it.
May 28, 20127A good PC port to console. The controls feel natural, the drop in system works well, the lag is usually minimal, (although it goes up when there's a lot of stuff on fire) and it is a hell of a lot easier to communicate with your friends. This would be a 9/10 for me, but the update they released it as isn't even after minecraft's official PC release.
May 26, 201210Wow what a refreshing game amazing love it so different im gonna buy the PC version now for all the extras i didn`t expect to like this due to the graphics game but i`m blown away its awesome best game ive played in years and years I hope they build on what they have started here.
May 25, 20125Fans scream in joy, Notch gets his money... everyone is happy. In reality, fans get a poor crafting system and a overall inferior version to the PC, and a hard time fapping to Creepers. (Actually,Creepers are still hot) but to keep it simple, Creepers give this game a 5/10. If it weren't for them, it would be a 0.
May 23, 20123I played the demo of this game, and if Jeb wants my 25 euros for pre-Adventure update version of game, then heck no, I would better buy something fun at second-hand store.
May 22, 20129
May 22, 20129Minecraft on xbox360 is not up to date, but if you have never played the PC-version i suggest you to buy it. This game is really funny and in coop it is even better. You can mine through the ground and the anture and and then build up palaces. I like to lie on my couch playing minecraft with friends.
May 21, 20128
May 21, 20129Ok, its not the same as on the PC, but I love this game! =o)

May 18, 20128Minecraft on PC is awesome. In Xbox 360 is medium. Minecraft is rely helped by Mods and online. Losing this we have a great game that have the main minecraft (survival). The fact that they added tutorials is realy helpfull. The maps are smaller (but really, have you EVER explored a PC map totally?), and is an older version of Minecraft, but is still great, and have split screen.
May 18, 20128
May 17, 20126
May 17, 20123Very buggy - this game should not have shipped yet. I can't even use a furnace without the game hanging. Otherwise exactly what I'd expect from the port - same fun as the PC version.
May 16, 201210I found it great adaptation. The music is very good and the only thing that could improve the control. I played a bit on PC and the keyboard is still the best but having Minecraft on the xbox is superb. Really recommended and justified the 1600 MP.
May 16, 20127
May 15, 20127This is a huge downgrade from the PC version of the game. Does it work? Oh yeah, it's a playable game. The issue is many additions to the PC version were not included. You should only get this version if your computer is not powerful enough to run the PC version of minecraft or if you have no available friends on the pc.
May 15, 201210Amazing game Splitscreen is the best! Only get this if you are looking to play with some friends. You also need an HDTV which sucks if you wanted to play splitscreen.
May 15, 20129this game is a great crossover to the Xbox, the people at 4J have done thier best to bring a new look interface to the 360, and as it is the 1.6 beta patch from the PC, i have a feeling we will have to wait a while until the 360 version is up to speed with the PC version, including the end, ocelots and NPC villagers, an overall great game for people who have played the PC version
May 14, 20127I might put up a full review later, but for now, I just want to point out something.
Yes this game has split screen co op but that will NOT WORK, if you are not playing it on an HDTV.
This has no effect on my score by the way. -

May 12, 201210Well guys, this game is just insanly amazing, way to put out! Currently me and a friend need miners to help us, message me on Xbox if you are willing an we will talk about a reward :) -Hubbs554
May 12, 20126
May 12, 20128
May 11, 201210So far, same old minecraft. claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssic. Great gameplay, so crappy its good graphics, and creativity make this good, and xbla makes it better.
May 11, 20127
May 11, 20122This version is very bad, definitely not worth it, bought it and played for a while but not this good, do not waste your money on it, the PC version is MIL times better.
May 11, 201210Great game, brings back a lot of old memories from the beta days of the P version. Love it, would recommend anyone looking for the minecraft experience without a decent pc to get this game!
May 11, 20125
May 10, 20129Minecraft, with a few temporary downgrades, but with split screen. If the developers follow through and update this game quickly, I'm sure it will be the best arcade game on xbla.
Jul 29, 201290Slightly simplified compared to the PC version, but still a great conversion of an excellent game. Endless amount of creativity are guaranteed. [July 2012]
Jul 13, 201290Minecraft on the Xbox Live Arcade is an addicting and rewarding experience, assuming you are willing to put the time into the experience. This is one of those games where you will truly get out whatever you put into the game, and that can be both good and bad. If you put in the time and dedication though, you will discover one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences ever.
Jun 20, 201286Minecraft is just as addictive on the Xbox 360 as it was on the PC. Too bad the world is only a small fragment of that of the original game. [June 2012]

I'm not completely fond of the Activety stream so I think I'm going to see if I can not make it the default view when you go to the forum.
I haven't removed any posts/forums so if something is missing I'm not sure where it has gone. How was the team ranking list working before? Was somebody updating it? I'm sure I can get it back pretty easy or at least create a new post for it.

Equates to: "You really don't know but I wish you did." "What exactly did you do last night?"

1. Substitution for something not to be said out loud.
2. Substitution for something that cannot be thought of at the present moment. 3. Question, literally meaning either i. "Are you still listening?" or ii. "Do you think you understand?" (informal) 1. - You want me to ... you know ... ?
- What, suck me off? - Yeah. 2. - So I decided to give her that thing. - What thing? - The thing, you know. 3. - She didn't like the thing, so she dumped me. You know? - Yeah. |
3. | you know | ||
1. When used as a question: Same as, "Know what I'm saying?"
2. When used right before a giggle or titter: Something that is to embarassing or "icky" to bring up directly in conversation. 3. When used by a criminal or psychotic: You understand and have knowings of the insane/ socially unacceptable/ depravedly criminal/ inhumane/ abasedly amoral things I have done. Now I must kill you. 1. So then I just had to bust a cap, you know?
2. Then he showed me his... you know *giggle*. 3. You KNOW! *Lunges at you with a knife* |

An interjection, most often used when saying something the listener does not, and often could not reasonably, know. There are 374,102 hairs on my head, you know.
5. | you know | ||
1. Interjection
2. Conversation starter 3. To point out something that your conversation partner doesn't know, but should. This phrase is way overused in Minnesota. Also, it's never taken literally. 1. "I called him, you know, 5 times this morning and like, he never answered."
2. "You know, this place smells retched." 3. "I have my doctorate in something, you know." |
6. | you know | ||
The perfect response to any question asked. Can be used when one just doesn't want to answer a question or when one doesn't know how to answer a question. Girlfriend: "So what exactly did you do when SHE came over last night!?"
Guy: "You know." Teacher: "Billy, think about this. 3x + 4 = 7. What is 'x'?" Billy: "You know." |
7. | you know | ||
As it is sometimes used in Boston, a solitary expression used to concur with anothers pointed or humorous observation. Person A: Bostonians are so impatient, they want to order their lunch before their ass even hits the seat!

Topic Overview
What is vaginitis?
Vaginitis is infection or Reference inflammation Opens New Window of the Reference vagina Opens New Window. It can cause itching and burning, a change in vaginal discharge, and sometimes pain during sex.
What causes vaginitis?
Vaginitis may be caused by bacteria, yeast, or other organisms. Bath products, douches, and spermicides also can irritate the Reference vagina Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window and cause itching and discomfort.
The three most common types of vaginitis and their causes are:
- Yeast infection. A healthy vagina normally contains a small number of yeast cells, along with a certain number of bacteria. Normally there aren't enough of the yeast cells to cause problems. But sometimes something happens to the vagina that lets the yeast cells multiply quickly and take over, causing symptoms. Taking Reference antibiotics Opens New Window sometimes causes this. Being pregnant, taking birth control pills that contain estrogen, or having Reference hormone therapy Opens New Window can also cause it. So can some health problems, like Reference diabetes Opens New Window or Reference HIV infection Opens New Window.
- Bacterial vaginosis. This happens when some of the bacteria normally found in the vagina are able to multiply quickly, causing symptoms. Experts are not sure what causes this. But certain things make it more likely to happen. These include having more than one sex partner, having a female sex partner, having a Reference sexually transmitted infection Opens New Window, using an IUD for birth control, and douching.
- Trichomoniasis. This is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a Reference parasite Opens New Window. You get it by having sex with someone who has it. It is commonly called trich (say "trick").
Another type of vaginitis is atrophic vaginitis. This is an irritation of the vagina caused by thinning tissues and less moisture in the vaginal walls. This often occurs with menopause as a result of the decrease in the hormone estrogen. Surgery to remove the ovaries can have the same effect.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of vaginitis may include:
- A change in your normal vaginal discharge, including gray, green, or yellow discharge.
- Vaginal redness, swelling, itching, or pain.
- Vaginal odor.
- Burning when you urinate.
- Pain or bleeding when you have sex.
How is vaginitis diagnosed?
Your doctor will check your vagina for redness and swelling and will take a sample of vaginal discharge. The sample can be tested in a lab to see what is causing the problem.
How is it treated?
If you are pregnant, talk with your doctor if you have any symptoms. Some problems can affect your pregnancy, so it is important to talk with your doctor and get the right treatment.
- Yeast infection: If you have had a yeast infection before and can recognize the symptoms, and you aren't pregnant, you can treat yourself at home with medicines you can buy without a prescription. You can use an antifungal cream or suppository that you put into your vagina. Or your doctor may prescribe antifungal tablets that you swallow.
- Bacterial vaginosis: Doctors usually use antibiotics to treat this problem. It is usually a mild problem. But it can lead to more serious problems, so it's a good idea to see your doctor and get treatment.
- Trichomoniasis: This disease is also treated with antibiotics. Both you and your sex partner need treatment.
- Atrophic vaginitis: This usually is treated with estrogen creams or tablets.
How can you prevent vaginitis?
- Do not take antibiotics unless you really need to.
- Do not douche.
- Do not use feminine deodorant sprays or other perfumed products in or around your vagina.
- During your period, change tampons at least 3 times a day, or switch between tampons and pads. Don't leave tampons in for more than 8 hours. And be sure to remove the last tampon you use.
- Use a condom during sex. Limit your number of sex partners.

Staff report
LUMBERTON — Robeson County's Early College High School has been named as one of the best in the country.
The school, which offers select students an opportunity to earn both their high school diploma and associate's degree in five years, was recently recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for its high level of student academic performance. It was one of only nine schools in North Carolina, and 269 schools nationwide, to earn the Blue Ribbon designation this year.
According to the U.S.. Department of Education's web page, the Blue Ribbon Program sets a "standard of excellence for all schools striving for the highest level of achievement. It also says that the program honors those schools where students attain and maintain high academic goals, including those that beat the odds.
Almost 7,000 schools across the country have received the Blue Ribbon designation since it was established in 1982.
Robeson County's Early College High School, located on the campus of Robeson Community College, operates as a partnership with the college. Students take their required high school courses and then participate in college classes to earn credits that can be transferred later to a four-year college or university.
"This helps the kids make the transfer from high school to college easier," said Sheila Gasque, who is in her second year as the school's principal. She said that the school is now in its eighth year of existence.
Students have to meet certain eligibility requirements to be accepted into the school, which Gasque said currently has about 200 students. This year, about 165 students from across the county applied for the 45 to 50 openings available each year. Only 52 of the applicants were accepted.
Johnny Hunt, superintendent of the Public Schools of Robeson County, called the Blue Ribbon designation for the Early College High School a "great honor."
"This is a big honor for the (school) system, county and state," he said. "I think this is a very deserving school."
Hunt said that to his knowledge this is the first time that any school in Robeson County has received the Blue Ribbon designation.
Hunt said that the Early College High School was originally designed to serve first-generation college students.
"This was geared to help those students get their two-year degrees," he said. "Now some of the students there are attending the school to just get their community college degree while others are planning to move onto a four-year university."
According to Gasque, plans are under way to hold a celebration on the RCC campus to recognize the achievement. Representatives of the school, including its principal, will travel to Washington, D.C., in November to officially receive the award from federal school officials.
Several students at the school told The Robesonian that the Early College High School is like family.
"Here we know most everyone by name," said Alia Warsco, a 10th-grade student who said she hopes to eventually pursue a career in medicine.
The students all said that the experience they are receiving at the school is setting the stage for them to move easily into a university environment. They said they have learned valuable lessons at the school such as the proper way to study and the importance of being responsible for their actions in regards to their academic endeavors.
"We have wonderful teachers, and the small classes are great," said Gabriela Hernandez, a 13th-grade student who says she hopes to become a physical therapist or find a job in the area of forensics.
"I've had friends at other high schools ask me why I want to attend the Early College High School," said Hernandez. "I always ask them, 'Why not?'"

Although it has only increased the number of miles driven by 30% during the past five years, SCAT has been able to increase passenger fare collection by 88% over that same time period, while its fuel costs jumped 286%.
Since 2004, SCAT has slowly added to the number of vehicles it has in service and the number of miles it drives.
It operated 86 vehicles in 2004. That number rose to 107 vehicles in 2008. The number of miles driven in that same period jumped from 3.7 million to 4.8 million. And, in the last five years, fuel-and-lubricant costs went from $62,822 to $2.4 million — a 286% rise.
SCAT attributes the rise in fuel costs to the explosion in fuel prices during the past few years and the addition of Sunday and late-evening bus service in 2008.
Even with the rapid rise in collections, passenger fares offset only a small fraction of SCAT's annual operating budget. Passenger fares totaled $3.1 million in 2008. SCAT's budget that same year was $21 million.
County tax dollars pay the majority of that budget. According to SCAT General Manager Anthony Beckford, roughly 70% of funding comes from Sarasota County, the federal government provides 20% and 10% comes from the state.
Beckford said public transit's goal is not to be fully self-sustaining on the money it collects from the fare box. In fact, SCAT's goal is just to earn 14% of the cost of a route through fares it collects. In 2008, fares accounted for about 12% of SCAT's operating costs.
Of the 32 public transportation systems in Florida, Beckford said most generate 10% to 12% of their operating costs through fares, so SCAT is now at the high end of the state-transit systems.
But federal and state governments set higher goals.
The federal government requires public-transportation systems to generate 20% of their operating costs through fare collection; the state requires 25%.
When asked what happens if those goals aren't reached, Beckford said "nothing, really." Both threaten to take funds away, but Beckford said they've never done it, and he doesn't anticipate it happening.
