Are you looking for tips on going to college? This article is perfect for you. It's time to prepare for the next step in your life. If you have a clue as to what lies ahead, your college experience will be better.
Many colleges offer courses in study skills, so take advantage of the offering. High school is very different than college, and you may be at a loss for how to get good grades. A class that focuses on study skills will get you on track.
Apply to scholarships and other grants early. When you apply early, there is a better chance you will receive more funds. Create a list of important deadlines to ensure you don't miss any opportunities.
Leave no stone unturned when looking for financial assistance. You may find a scholarship for a student who excels academically or others that cater to specific, unique situations. You will also find a lot of state and federal grants.
If you are simply unable to scrape together enough money for tuition, look into an education loan. Once you graduate, you will have access to high-paying jobs and be able to pay your student loans back.
Bring all necessary test materials with you on test day. Forgetting things such as a calculator during a big math test could place you at a big disadvantage. There are various times when the instructor will not have extra writing utensils, so remember to pack what you need beforehand.
Do not forget to eat nutritious meals. The freshman 15 isn't an exaggeration. Be aware of what is going in your mouth. Pizza and high fat foods should be avoided at all costs. While it may seem like a cheap and quick option, you won't be getting the nutrients that your body requires.
Eat breakfast on test days. Anything, be it a muffin or a bowl of cereal, will do. If you are hungry, you will never be able to concentrate on the exam. Therefore, it is advisable to eat a breakfast with plenty of protein to help keep your mind alert.
You should find out what grants and scholarships you can get. There are a lot of different scholarships, some for specific majors. They may also apply to certain interests, like music, or personal characteristics. Grants can also help you to ease the worry of financial problems.
Wait to buy the books for classes as they may not be necessary. You could discover you don't need all the books you thought you did. Usually online classes don't require books. Sometimes, the course content will suffice in teaching you the course.
Figure out where the college's admissions office is and go to it before you pick out your college. This way, you can see if any school-specific scholarships are available. Lots of colleges provide their students with scholarships. A good conversation with an admissions clerk can tell you all the financial assistance opportunities you need.
You must study everyday to be successful. Sometimes, it may be difficult to stay focused, as you will need to maintain perseverance. Promise yourself that you will study each and every day. Study every day, whether you need to or not. It will ensure that you establish a routine.
Make yourself acquainted with all your class professors when the term begins. Learn the location of their offices and their office hours. Build a strong repertoire with them to achieve a better understanding if an issue like turning in something late or having something come up.
Don't just listen in your classes, take notes. Just the act of jotting down notes can help you retain the material. This helps make studying a breeze. Though you may know the material already, you should still make it a point to take notes.
Ride the bus to campus. Taking a bus to school probably won't take much longer than driving your car. You save time because you are not looking for parking. You can even save a few bucks from gas and parking permits. It is also great for the environment.
Do not rely how how you did in high school. College is much different than high school. You may have been a jock or a genius before, but no one at college knows who you were or cares about it. Make yourself work harder than you ever have and give new things a try instead of thinking everything will be just like it was in high school.
Be careful about submitting your initial draft. Take time to write it a second time. Don't just proofread your original draft. Rewrite the paper to the best of your ability. Read over the second draft you wrote and make it perfect. Doing this ensures that you will have included all the important information necessary.
If coffee is your passion, try not to purchase it each and every day. It might cost you way too much. Brew up your own coffee. It might have the convenience of getting coffee on the run, but you will keep a lot more of your money. Check your local discount store for an affordable coffeemaker.
Review all your notes carefully the night before a big test. By doing this before sleep, it is said to actually assist by allowing the information to be processed during the night's dreams. Do not expect to remember everything by simply reading your notes before going to bed, but use this trick along with other studying methods.
Never, ever plagiarize the work of another person. As a student, you are likely to author a wide-variety of papers on various topics and courses of study. Be certain you do not plagiarize the work of others. There are ways to prevent plagiarism, so do not try to beat the system.
Consider taking classes at a local community college for your first two years. This will save you some money. When you have acquired the basic common courses, you can transfer to a college of your choice. When you have a small budget, this may be your only option.
If you are having an important test the next day, read all your notes once more prior to going to bed. When you do this, your mind will review the information as you sleep. Your brain will help fill in the gaps of missing pieces of knowledge so that you'll find that you understand more information in the morning.
It may be wise to come up with a sleep schedule during the time you are attending college. Sleep deprivation is common among college students attempting to juggle classes, work, and a social life. Unless you get the right hours of sleep, you will have a tough time concentrating in class.
If you're torn between a couple majors fairly early, try taking important starting classes for each one. That way you will get exposed to each, which should make choosing much easier. You should be able to use these credits toward a minor if you want to get a specialization or simply take a minor in a different area of studies.
It takes time to build new friendships. Try to arrive to class a few minutes before it begins if you want to get to know people. You can offer help to people that look lost. This can help start conversations with people.
You should get an early start to your day. You don't need to get up before the sun, but trying to wake up at around 7 AM will give you time to eat a decent breakfast and get ready for the day.
Are you an athlete who wants to participate in college sports? Talk to the college coach ahead of time. A lot of times, the coaches in the college won't know about athletes that are up and coming and that's why you need to let them know you want to play for their school. In addition, you just might land an athletic scholarship, which can really help pay for your classes.
Online colleges are a great option if you work full-time. Online schools are perfect for students who are working full-time jobs and have odd schedules. An online university allows you to complete coursework when, where and how it works best for you.
Be open-minded when dating. You should try to cook dinner at home and eat it by candle light. Also, you will be reducing an expense by playing this card. If roommates are an issue, strike a bargain. If they're able to stay out of the place when you're with your date, you'll do the same for them later on.
Building friendships is going to take some time. You could meet people by showing up early for class. You can talk to people who may be just as nervous as you are. This can help establish a lifelong bond with a friend.
If you are especially strong in a certain academic area, why not use your skills to make money? You could tutor other students from your classes or find high school students in the area. Advertise what you can teach on bulletin boards around your dorm on in your student center. The Internet is a good resource as well.
Take only the essentials if you are going to live in the dormitory. They're not big and don't offer a great deal of organizational space. List the bare essentials and stay on track with your list so you don't overbuy. Look for space-saving storage options and compact designs.
It is helpful when your academic adviser works in your specified field. A good adviser will help you choose the right courses. They might have additional information about other schools that can help you further your degree. Don't hesitate to speak with anyone and everyone who could offer insight. Why stop at only one person?
College is an exciting time, but you may also feel a bit nervous about what is in store. Still, it is important to remember that you will be fine. Make sure you get to classes early, and make time to study. Remember that you are in college to get your education and experience independent living.
Do you want to enter college after high school? You might want to work and save money or you just don't think you are ready. There is nothing wrong with not going to college as long as you have other plans for your future. Be sure to think about it before deciding.
Find people with similar interests and hang out with them. If you are surrounded by others who seek success, this trait will rub off on you. You can still have fun all together! There should be a harmonious balance between achieving success and enjoying your college years.
Save money on meals by eating on campus. Otherwise, you can end up spending a small fortune in fast food. Therefore, having student meal plans is crucial, although the food may not be all that great. Take money that might have gone to fast food and invest in nutritious items instead.
Take a break every once in a while. You can become burnt out from studying too much. Though you may have always been told that you can never study enough, that is not exactly true. If you are a perfectionist, it might be hard to just give yourself a break, but it is actually a healthy thing to do.
Direct Deposit
Find two students in each class to connect with. While it may seem strange, it's worth it. If you are friends with classmates you might be able to get their notes if you have missed class. Your study buddy may also become a cherished friend outside of class too.
Direct deposit is a better option for your financial aid funds, so skip the prepaid card offers you may receive. Most cards subject you to fees and surcharges. Others place limits on your withdrawals. Direct deposit is the best option when you enter college.
Make sure that you take your own notes, as your friends may not have the information you need. You can't be sure that the person sitting next to you in class is a good student and note taker. This can leave you with only half the lecture to study from.
The advice from this article should help you in college. Apply what you have learned here and you will have a productive and fulfilling college experience. Learn all you can about going to college before you ever step foot out the door.
If you have a talent for a specific subject, you may be able to translate that into some extra money. Tutoring other students is very lucrative. Advertise on bulletin boards in the dorm or at the student center. You can also post ads online.

Everyone is wondering when we'll see our first snow. It's not unheard of to get a slushy, whitening of the ground this time of year but it's a very rare event this early.
The photo above shows us what it looked like up in far northern Wisconsin over the weekend. This was shared by my good friend Steve Brown.
But where I was in Lake Geneva (the southern part of the state), it looked very different. Most of the natural oak trees in Southern Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and Eastern Iowa still have plenty of leaves on them. And in the Lake Geneva area, many were still green! Typically, no snow will accumulate until the leaves fall from the trees. It's Mother Nature's little signal about when we should expect the first snow of the season. If snow did fall right now, lots of limbs would crack and break off causing damage or death to many mature trees. Once a majority of the leaves fall from the limbs, they are able to hold the weight of the snow.
In Northern Wisconsin, many of the trees are not deciduous like they are here. Pines and evergreens have very strong limbs that can carry the weight of the snow.
Over the next few weeks, as more leaves fall, our snow chances will increase. Typically, our first inch of snow occurs around Thanksgiving.

With New York's primary election date steadily approaching, it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore a growing trend among supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders. As someone in full support of Sanders, I am entirely sympathetic to—and often contribute to—legitimate criticisms of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
There is a huge difference, however, between valid criticisms of Clinton's policies and decisions and the blatant misogyny that has flooded my Twitter and Facebook feeds. Too much focus has been put on irrelevant, gender-based criticisms of Clinton from both supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Sanders.
Unsurprisingly, the Internet has proved to be an excellent platform for relatively uneducated and politically unaware people to voice their every thought regarding Clinton. As a young woman, I know for certain I am growing tired of older generations of women scolding me for not supporting the prospect of a female president—ultimately questioning my feminist ethics. While the majority of Sanders supporters are feminist in their principles, it is undeniable that Clinton is the target of misogynistic rhetoric from Republicans and Democrats alike. The recent hashtag "#BernieBros" is enough to make my head spin.
An example of this blatant misogyny can be found in an MSNBC segment that meticulously discussed Clinton's public speaking techniques in March. After Clinton gave a speech in Detroit regarding job creation and gender equality, three male reporters on MSNBC's "Hardball" took it upon themselves to criticize Clinton for shouting during speeches.
One of them stated: "There's a private version of Hillary Clinton that's very winning and very charming, that's because there's no microphone." Because, as we know, a presidential candidate's most valuable asset is their charm.
Clinton herself has spoken out about the constant criticism of her "shrillness," stating, "I've been told to stop, and I quote, 'Shouting about gun violence.' Well, first of all, I'm not shouting, it's just, when women talk, some people think we're shouting." This is a classic example of a passionate woman being labeled as overly emotional and abrasive.
These criticisms of Clinton are just more examples of women being told to quiet down and be politer. Sanders himself had to condemn the growing misogynistic attacks on Clinton from his own supporters, stating, "We have many hundreds of thousands of supporters, and some of them have gone over the edge. I apologize for that."
Clinton has consistently shown dishonesty and troubling associations with issues many college students take seriously, such as welfare reform, militaristic ventures and her ties with corporate powers. I support Sanders because his values coincide with my own, primarily with his stances on abortion, college tuition and minimum wage.
Trump and Sanders supporters alike are guilty of criticizing Clinton for irrelevant issues that are tied to her gender. Mocking Clinton for "barking like a dog"—as Trump has—is not a legitimate criticism. Sanders is known for hollering and wildly gesturing from behind a podium without once being called shrill. We need to stop associating assertiveness and power with "bitchiness" when it comes to women.
Regardless of who you'll be voting for in the primaries, take it upon yourself to end the misogyny that is increasingly apparent in this election.

Hopefully all readers will have a good break. Employment law looks as if it will have its interesting moments in 2010. The report on reforms to the Holidays Act is generating considerable interest and it will be interesting to read the full report in the New Year.The Rest Breaks Bill, discussed in an earlier post, seems to have become less urgent and must wait until 2010. In spite of this air traffic watch towers seem to have continued to operate after November 1st.
But it is almost time for the break so discussion can wait until 2010.

Bug-eyed, insincere

Maybe then, we would hear

Koch-funded group, LIBRE launches six-figure campaign to promote vouchers
Roberts: Koch-funded group launches six-figure campaign to promote vouchers
Laurie Roberts, The Republic | azcentral.comPublished 4:51 p.m. MT Nov. 16, 2017 | Updated 5:14 p.m. MT Nov. 16, 2017
Everything you need to know about the Empowerment Scholarship Account program in Arizona. Wochit
Laurie Roberts: It appears the Kochs are prepared to spend whatever it takes to ensure that Arizona voters can't -- or won't -- kill the universal voucher program.
(Photo: maxkabakov, Getty Images/iStockphoto)
The Koch network is stepping up to protect its investment in Arizona.
An out-of-state group called the LIBRE Institute on Thursday launched a six-figure grassroots initiative to empower and educate families in Phoenix about the policies increasing their educational opportunities.
Translation: this group, funded by the Kochs, is prepared to spend whatever it takes to ensure that Arizona voters cant or wont kill the expanded voucher program approved earlier this year by Gov. Doug Ducey and the Arizona Legislature.
Koch involvement is nothing new
Already, the Koch network and associated dark money groups have spent millions to get a governor and Legislature that would push for and pass universal vouchers.
Already, the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity is suing to try to knock Prop. 305 the citizen referendum aimed at vetoing our leaders' universal voucher law off the 2018 ballot.
Now comes the plan to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars targeting Latino families with ads, mailers and phone calls about the wonders of educational choice. Given that we already have plenty of educational choice, I'm guessing the campaign is really about the state's new universal voucher law the one thats on hold thanks to a true grassroots
referendum effort by a group called Save Our Schools Arizona.
You just wouldn't know it from LIBRE's announcement Thursday of its PR.
Through the launch of our new grassroots initiative we are educating families on the educational options available to them, and on the role that educational freedom plays in empowering families with the ability to select the best options for their children, Carlos Alfaro, LIBREs Arizona director said, in a statement. When you empower families with more choices and greater access to information, it better equips our community to reach the American Dream.
What LIBRE should tell voters
Hopefully, as part of this grassroots initiative, the LIBRE folks will be sure to explain that a voucher alone isnt going to empower parents send their kids to private school not unless they can kick in an extra $5,000 to $10,000 a year to cover tuition.
Hopefully, as part of its educational efforts, LIBRE will explain that a universal voucher program will more likely create two sets of Arizona schools: private ones for the children of parents who can afford to pay the difference between what a voucher is worth and what private tuition costs. And public ones for the kids whose parents cant.
Hopefully, as part of this six-figure campaign, the LIBRE Institute will explain how Arizonas woefully underfunded public schools will become a higher state funding priority once all the well-to-do kids have fled to private schools.
Hopefully, the LIBRE folks will explain how Arizona kids already have plenty of choice through open enrollment, home schooling, charter schools, tax-funded tuition scholarships and yes, vouchers (a k a Empowerment Scholarship Accounts).
How ESAs already are available to anyone who is disabled and to anyone who attends a poorly performing school. Also to anyone who has a parent in the military and anyone in the foster-care system and anyone who lives on tribal lands. Also, anyone who has a sibling who already has an ESA.
So who would get vouchers under our leaders' new universal voucher plan?
Mostly, Im guessing itll be suburban kids whose parents already can afford to send their kids to private school.
But then, I'm sure the Koch-funded six-figure PR plan will explain all of that.

Unapproved economics class with ties to Koch network being taught in TUSD

Tucsons largest school district has allowed a controversial economics class with a biased textbook and ties to the Koch network to slip through the cracks and be taught at four high schools without being properly vetted or approved.
Now, in the middle of the second year of the yearlong class, the Tucson Unified School District Governing Board is scrambling to decide what to do with students who are currently enrolled and grappling with the consequences of having already graduated students who technically didnt take an approved, required economics class.
Critics of the class say the way it was quietly inserted into district curriculum highlights the worst aspects of both the Koch network and TUSD that the former is attempting to fund an ideological revolution through its clandestine infiltration of public institutions, and the latter is too incompetent to notice a contentious, unapproved course in its schools.
I dont think its ironic that such a controversial class slipped through the system, TUSD Governing Board member Kristel Foster said at a recent board meeting about the problem.
The course, dubbed Ethics, Economy and Entrepreneurship, is offered as a dual-credit college course developed in partnership with the University of Arizonas Center for the Philosophy of Freedom, better known as the Freedom Center. The Freedom Center receives funding from Charles Koch and other Libertarian-minded donors, some of them unnamed, as well as from a special appropriation from the Legislature.
Students who take the yearlong class, which is condensed to one semester at the university level, can earn three credits for Philosophy 101 through the University of Arizona at a discounted price. Classes are supposed to cover the same material with the same rigor as the college version.
About 100 TUSD students are enrolled in the course.
Teachers prepared for the class by taking a graduate-level course called The Ethical Entrepreneur under the UAs department of political economy and moral science, which houses the Freedom Center.
The course is currently taught at Tucson, Rincon, Pueblo and Cholla high schools. Cholla offers it only as an elective, which does not satisfy the requirement for a high school economics credit. The others allow it to fulfill state requirement that high schoolers take an economics class.
At least three other public school districts in Pima County Amphitheater, Sahuarita and Vail along with some private and charter schools, offer the course, either as an elective or to meet a core requirement for graduation.
Students are expected to learn concepts including micro- and macroeconomics, business ethics, personal and business finance and the process of innovation.
But TUSD Superintendent Gabriel Trujillo said other districts that offer the class should beware the course, as developed through the Freedom Center, has some biases and omissions that may throw it out of alignment with state standards for a required economics credit.
It would behoove (other districts) to undergo a detailed review, to pull the syllabus and make sure that it aligns with state standards for college and career readiness for issuance of economics credit. When we did that process, we did have to work a little bit to make sure everything was aligned, he said.
Supporters of the class note that funding for the course development didnt come from the Koch brothers, the powerful billionaires behind Koch Industries who have spent fortunes to push free-market politicians and policies. Instead, it was funded through a $2.9 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation, which is often called a spiritually inclined nonprofit that funds interdisciplinary research in areas including religion, science and free-market economics.
The foundation says the goal of the program is to help students come to a deeper understanding of the nature of success and the virtues that are required to secure it in our distinctively American context.
And the foundation has big goals for the course, which it hopes will reach 25 percent of Arizona high school students by 2025.
Supporters argue that while the rollout at TUSD was flawed, the controversy around the classes is misplaced. They say the course itself should be judged on its own merit, not on its loose affiliation to a controversial political figure.
Mario Villarreal-Diaz, formerly of the Freedom Center but now an associate professor of ethics, economy and entrepreneurship at the department of political economy and moral science, argued that people are concerned about the centers donors but should focus on their output and the course curriculum.
Ultimately, the course teaches economic concepts that are used to explore what it means to be an ethical businessperson in hopes of teaching both economic and moral concepts, he said.
Villarreal-Diaz realizes the course may be done at TUSD due to the controversy, but if the district does get rid of the course as a knee-jerk reaction because it is associated with the controversial Freedom Center, it will just hurt students.
Its interesting that the issue is the district approved the course without proper vetting and review, and the outcome now may be that they get rid of it without proper vetting or review, he said, encouraging skeptics to sit in on a class.
But critics argue students who took the class have been cheated out of a balanced look at economics in the only class many of them will ever take on the topic.
Instead, critics argue, public school students are being exposed to what equates to right-wing, free-market propaganda sponsored by an organization of wealthy business owners whose ultimate goal is to indoctrinate children and groom a new generation of free-market ideologues who will grow up to loosen regulations on business.
David Gibbs, a history professor at UA and a member of Kochs Off Campus an organization opposed to undue donor influence in academia said the course is a disturbing example of how the Koch family and other like-minded donors use massive amounts of money to influence the educational system as a means to influence political climate.
Theres something fundamentally undemocratic about that process. And theres something disturbing about the way theyre trying to instill their ideological opinion in education, particularly at the K-12 level, Gibbs said.
Gibbs argued that the course presents a skewed version of economics that ignores concepts that dont fit in neatly with free-market ideals, and that the main text used to teach it, which was developed by academics affiliated with the Freedom Center, is pure propaganda.
Ive read the textbook, and its basically an effort to indoctrinate students and give the impression that the economics profession is dedicated entirely to kind of a pure, free-market paradigm, with a very heavy emphasis on deregulation, low taxes and the like. Theres a skewed representation of economics there, which does not represent the consensus of the economics profession, Gibbs said, noting that he teaches economics history.
A colleague at the UA history department, Douglas Weiner, told the TUSD Governing Board the textbook used in the course teaches a kind of fairy-tale economics that has no basis in history. For example, he said, the text argues that private property and patent laws are the keys to successful companies.
Those things are true enough, but those textbooks completely ignore that the whole industrial revolution has been built on the foundation of plantation slavery and all sorts of other more complex economic developments, he said, noting he teaches economics history, and thinks the textbook is junk science.
Whether the course amounts to libertarian propaganda or entrepreneurial inspiration, TUSD has a problem: It was never approved to be taught in the district.
To remedy the problem, the Governing Board is considering retroactively certifying the class for those who took it last year or are currently enrolled, causing minimal disruption to the students and teachers. But the board is going to re-evaluate whether it wants to keep its ties with the class after this year.
The district and students are in this mess because former district employees failed in their duties, according to Superintendent Trujillo.
In 2015, three teachers wanted to bring the course to schools in the district and started the approval process, Trujillo said. Those teachers did everything right, he said, and received initial approval from two administrators who are no longer at the district.
But another administrator who is also no longer at the district never forwarded the request for approval to former Superintendent H.T. Sanchez, who, in turn, never brought it to the Governing Board for approval, Trujillo said.
Approving courses is one of the most important jobs of the board and superintendent, right alongside crafting a budget, Trujillo said, and that the district failed in its duties is embarrassing.
When Trujillo asked the Governing Board to review the problem and come up with a solution before the Dec. 5 meeting, board members clearly felt hoodwinked that they werent even aware a controversial course was being taught right under their noses, without their approval.
Quite frankly, I didnt know this course existed. And Ive visited all of these campuses, Governing Board Member Adelita Grijalva said.
How many unapproved courses are there in TUSD? asked Board Member Rachael Sedgwick.
And the course itself has some problems. John Kramkowski, the districts assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, recently audited the curriculum and found that the core textbook, which was developed by the Freedom Center, did not offer a balanced look at macroeconomics.
The issue was whether there truly was a balanced deep-dive effort to give the students broad perspective in the three types of markets traditional, command and market economies and whether those were all treated fairly, Kramkowski said. He said while the core text developed by the Freedom Center was too one-sided to achieve that goal, the addition of supplemental material satisfied those requirements.
If you just looked at the textbook, and if these teachers were just teaching this textbook, then I would absolutely say it does not meet the requirements of a Tucson Unified School District economics class. With what the teachers do to supplement the text, it does meet the requirements of a required economics class, he said.
Ethics, Economics and Entrepreneurship is not TUSDs first controversial course.
Interestingly, the controversy swirling around the class mirrors the controversy that surrounded TUSDs Mexican American Studies program, but on the opposite side of the political spectrum.
And while TUSD is once again mired in controversy, this time over the courses roots and the fact that it was never formally approved, other districts that approved the class through the proper channels say they havent seen any problems or controversy surrounding the course.
The Vail Unified School District offers the course purely as an elective, per Superintendent Calvin Baker.
Baker noted that electives are free to explore viewpoints on a subject area and arent necessarily expected to provide a totally balanced overview like a required economics course might. And he noted that because the course offers dual enrollment at the UA, its like taking a college course, where the standards for bias are lower than in high school.
Baker said he thinks the students, who are all high school seniors, can handle it.
If it were a dual-enrollment literature class, for example, the standard might be a little different, the material a little more controversial, he said.
The Amphitheater district also offered the course only as an elective at Ironwood High School, beginning this year, district spokeswoman Amy Sharpe said.
Manuel Valenzuela, superintendent at Sahuarita Unified School District, said that like TUSD, Sahuarita offers the class to fulfill the economics requirement. Unlike TUSD, the district did a full review and approval before it started teaching it, and didnt see anything wrong with the class.
He noted that the curriculum Sahuarita is using seems balanced and the 12 or so texts used in the course quote both free-market and socialist figures, from Adam Smith to Karl Marx.
Being a collegiate course, it does seem to go above and beyond the rigor of a usual high school class, he said.
Stacia Reeves stood in front of a class of 21 seniors at Rincon High on Friday afternoon, using pizza and hamburger restaurants as examples to explain concepts like opportunity costs, economics of scale and comparative advantage as the allegedly propagandistic text lay open on a handful of desks.
Besides Ethics, Economics and Entrepreneurship, Reeves also teaches economics, advanced placement macroeconomics, advanced placement U.S. government and politics. The class covers the same topics as her other economics class, but also includes aspects of morality and entrepreneurship , she said.
The students had no clue that theyd been sitting through a controversial class critics say is designed to brainwash them. And when told about this dilemma, they seemed unconcerned.
Vienne Winston and Kariah Walker, both Rincon seniors, said they took the class to fulfill the economics requirement and arent seeking credit through the university, since neither plans to attend the UA.
Neither had ever heard of the Koch brothers or their network of wealthy political donors. When a reporter explained the controversy behind the course, they rejected the criticism.
I dont feel like anyone is brainwashing me. (Reeves) asks a lot of questions and she asks us to reflect a lot. I dont think someone would do that if they were trying to make you think a certain way, Winston said.
Inside of the class, its not very controversial. But for people who dont understand whats going on inside of the class, maybe theyre basing (their opinions) on assumptions, Walker said.
The students were more concerned that the fallout may affect their ability to graduate and urged the Governing Board to leave the course in place, at least until theyre finished.
Im not going to be able to graduate if they pull this class (midyear), and thats really going to impact my life. But if they want to scale back (in the future) based on the opinion of everybody, I think thats fair, Winston added.
Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

"Job" finalists to Disneyland Resort in June. The most popular videos
included a Princess-in-Waiting, who received more than 70,000 votes and a

-The Patina Restaurant Group Coming to Epcot-
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has selected the Patina Restaurant Group to be
the new operating participant for the restaurant at the Italy Pavilion at
Epcot. The Patina Restaurant Group was one of the original operating
participants at the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort in
Anaheim, starting in 2001. The Patina Restaurant Group is tentatively set to
operate the existing location in an interim form beginning September 1, 2007
with a new restaurant concept scheduled to open Fall 2008.
Naples at DLR (Downtown Disney) is REALLY REALLY good, and the prices are
very reasonable for the portions, so I think this is a good move by Disney.

-Second Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique To Open-
On September 10, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is expanding and will open a
second location inside Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom. The new location
will replace the current King's Gallery store. The castle Boutique is
scheduled to start accepting appointments April 29, 2007 for September 10,
2007 dates and beyond. A reservation is highly recommended and can be made
by calling 407-WDW-STYLE up to 180 days prior to arrival.
I am very excited about this. We would have had to go to DTD before MNSSHP
and now we don't!! I also think going from BBB in the park to Cindy's castle
for meal is much more convienent. – r4kids
I can understand wanting to put BBB in the Castle. However, moving the one
very unique store out is not a solution. There are enough of the
cookie-cutter stores that could have been remodeled to accommodate this
need. - BigRedDad

-Tusker House to Host Two New Buffets!-
Tusker House Restaurant at Animal Kingdom is being converted from a
quick-service restaurant to a buffet restaurant. Beginning November 18th, it
will offer a character breakfast buffet, called Donald's Safari Breakfast,
and a lunch/dinner buffet. Tusker House will be closed from August 20
through November 16, 2007 for the renovations. Donald's Breakfastosaurus
character breakfast at Restaurantosaurus will be discontinued after November
I think it makes sense to move Donald & Co. to Tusker House. I thought
Restaurantasaurus was a little dark and small for the character breakfast.
Tusker House will be more conducive to character interaction and a buffet.

Good news for the Donald Breakfast but bad news that they had to close one
of the best CS options at WDW. – DDuck66

Al Jazeera hopes to be on Indian TV soon
Al Jazeera English, the only international news channel operating from the Gulf, is likely to reach Indian television screens in the next few months, Al Anstey, managing director of the Qatar-based network, said. Aarefa Johari reports.business Updated: Oct 23, 2010 01:05 IST
Al Jazeera English (AJE), the only international news channel operating from the Gulf, is likely to reach Indian television screens in the next few months.
Al Anstey, managing director of the Qatar-based network, said that the channel has "nearly completed" the procedures for getting a landing license in India, and has begun talks with leading cable operators.
"India is one of the most important markets for us, and I believe it has intelligent, outward-looking viewers who would appreciate high quality content," said Anstey, who is visiting Mumbai. "Cable operating companies have shown a huge interest and willingness to transmit our signals to viewers here."
From broadcasting a video of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden justifying the 9/11 attacks in the US in 2001 to having its Kabul office razed in a US missile attack, the Arabic station has had a tumultuous past.
AJE was launched as an offshoot of the Arabic Al Jazeera four years ago. It covers India through a bureau in New Delhi and has 30 bureaus worldwide.
According to Anstey, launching in India is part of the channel's new development plans, which include expanding its bureaus and staff base for sharper news gathering across the developing world.
"In a competitive market with a proliferation of news channels, I believe AJE has something different to offer India in terms of its journalistic vision and quality of content," said Anstey, adding that the channel's mission is to cover stories from developing countries in ways that make it interesting for a global audience.
"The channel emerged as a democratic voice in the middle-east, and though we are owned by the Qatar government, we operate with complete editorial independence," said Anstey.
"There are times when we have been thrown out of a country, but that only means we have done our job of covering the truth."

How To Change Your IP Address
Anyone can change their IP address faster with these instructions. You no longer have to seek out help from technical support or your nerdy friends when you are ready to change a IP on your computer or router! These instructions work on other common technologies like laptops, mobile phones, and tablets.
We've summarized the quickest ways to get a new IP address and that is sure to speed up the time it would have taken you by reading other instructions or articles you might have found on the Internet.
How to change your computer IP address
Changing your computer IP is as simple as turning your computer and router off for ten minutes and rebooting them both. This one move is the fastest possible way to get a new address assigned to you. If this ten minute technique does not work and you have the same IP address as before you will unfortunately have to contact your ISP and get a static assigned IP or have them flush your account. It works every time!
How to change your router IP address
Very similar to the way you change your computer's IP, change your router or modem by unplugging it for around five to ten minutes. This allows your ISP to drop their connection to it and flush their router entries. To get a new IP and connect back to the Internet, plug your router back in and give it five minutes to connect online and be assigned a new IP. When you get the same IP back in some cases and the change didn't work call up your ISP and see if they can reset it for you on their end.
No time for those fast ways of changing your IP? Visit a proxy instead! Instead of minutes it will only take seconds to change your IP address and appear totally different to anywhere you visit on the Internet like websites or Facebook.
Use our free proxy list to find proxies that you can use to change your IP address to thousands of other places in the world. It's free!

Watch the sun color the sky orange,
then yellow.
Heat bursts—
over the lip of the mountain to the east.
Tiny bird tracks are the ones you follow,
yellow and purple flowers cover the ground.
Make your body twist and bend
under a barbed wire fence.
Weeding squash next to tall, pink zinnias,
bells of blue-white sesame flowers.
Large black bees hum,
while butterflies dance above the rows.
The silence is so big
you can't find your place in it.
Then, one day,
it's part of you.
Head to the ditch in a roundabout way.
Even though the cool is what you want more than anything,
you wait,take your body in slowly,
feel the water ride up your thighs.

Giant Pills Exercising In Train Station
There's some human-sized pills working out at Union Station in DC.

Their findings are documented in the new publication "Best Drugs for Less" which is being handed out for free in front of these not jagged, not little, pills. Video here.

Before learning about the importance of crafting strong paragraphs, and before doing reverse outlines to reflect on the organization of my argument, I had to learn two important lessons about being an academic writer. There are so many technical aspects to crafting a well-written text, but all the technique in the world can't make up for trying to write about ideas that are too big or impossible to prove.
I needed to learn what kinds of things I could say about my project before I could actually write anything meaningful. What kinds of claims have been made about these objects? What kinds of discourses are they a part of? With which part of that discourse am I willing to engage? That my project touches on well-known and heavily published material only puts more pressure on these issues.
I also had to figure out what I actually wanted to say before writing too much. There is nothing worse than getting lost inside 40 pages of a text having persuaded myself that there is something important mixed in with those ramblings. All the tips and advice about academic writing were useless to me until I figured out what I actually wanted to say.
I'm also choosing to write with a confident voice, even though another voice in the back of my head asks, "what if you are missing something really big?!" I have to just focus on my work and let go of my low-confidence-crutch as I try to figure out what is an arguable claim.
These are the hard lessons for me, and I feel like I was on my own for much of this struggle. I may be wrong about being alone, but, well, feelings aren't really right or wrong. In reality, if I had been able to identify and articulate these as the challenges I was facing, I could have asked for more direct help from those around me who would certainly have delivered it. But because I couldn't see that my problem was that I was asking questions that focused on issues that were either too big to prove or not the most important and relevant aspects of the project, I couldn't explain where my energy was being wasted.

Michigan State Spartans are in the Final Four? Yes they are!!! The Spartans have had a rough season with numerous loses under 10 points but none of that matters at this point. Most team goals for the year is to improve from last year or win a championship. Michigan State is looking for their next one since 2000. Our first look at the team was at the prestigious Orlando Classic were they played strong but lost down the stretch 61-56 to Kansas. The Spartans lost by 10 points to Duke early in the season. These two teams are very familiar with each other. If Michigan State wants to get to the championship game they will need to keep Duke off the free throw line, not let them jump out to an early lead and get outstanding play from the starters / bench.

the plan for the future
As on 23 July 2013
Taken from: Wikipedia - 1492: Conquest of Paradise
1492: Conquest of Paradise (in French, 1492 : Christophe Colomb) is an epic 1992 European adventure/drama film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Roselyne Bosch, which tells the story of the discovery of the New World by Italian explorer Christopher Columbus (Gérard Depardieu) and the effect this had on the indigenous people.
The film was released by Paramount to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyage.[2]
Christopher Columbus' discovery of the Americas and the effect this has on the indigenous people, starting with his solicitation of Queen Isabella I (Sigourney Weaver) to gain the necessary funding. In the beginning, Columbus becomes obsessed in making his trip westwards to Asia, but lacks crew and a ship. The Spanish council is also heavily disapproving of it, and are not keen on any act of independent thought. After continuous warnings at the monastery, he becomes involved in a brawl with the monks, ending up lying in the monastery courtyard to pay penance. His eldest son Diego, one of the monks, looks on disapprovingly. As Columbus continues his payment to penance through a vow of silence, he is approached by a representative of an interested party who wishes to fund the journey. Columbus meets with the Queen, who grants him his journey in exchange for his promise to bring back sufficient amounts of riches in gold.
Columbus tricks many crewmen by telling them that the voyage would only last seven weeks. He goes to confession at the monastery to absolve his sins, and the monk reluctantly gives him absolution, as he is unable to inform the crewmen without breaking his oath. The next morning, three ships leave for the trip to Asia, with the flagship being the Santa Maria. During the voyage at night, one of the crewmen notices him navigating by the stars, a skill previously known only to the Moors. Columbus then happily teaches him the secret. Nine weeks go by and still no sign of land. The crew becomes restless and the other Captain turn against Columbus. He tries to reinvigorate them, to let them see the dream that he wishes to share. Whilst some of the crewmen were still not convinced, with all of a sudden the main sail catches the wind, which the crewmen see as a small act of God's willingness. At night, Columbus notices mosquitoes on the deck, indicating that land is not far off. Some days later, Columbus and the crew spot an albatross fly around the ship, before disappearing. Suddenly out of the mist they see the first sign of land. An island covered in lush vegetation and sandy beaches, the first discovery of the New World.
They befriend the local natives, who show them gold they have collected. Columbus teaches one of them Spanish so that they are able to communicate. He then informs them that they are to return to Spain momentarily to visit the Queen and bring the word of God. They leave behind a group of crewmen to begin the colonisation of the New World. Columbus receives a high Spanish honour from the Queen and has dinner with the Council. They express disappointment with the small amount of gold he brought back, but the Queen approves of his gifts. On return to the island, however, all the crewmen left behind are found to have been killed. When the tribe is confronted by Columbus and his troops, they tell him that other strangers came and savaged them. Columbus chooses to believe them, but his commanding officer is not convinced. They begin to build the city of San Salvador and eventually manage to holster the town bell into its tower, symbolising the arrival of Christianity in the New World.
Four years later, the commanding officer cuts the hand off one of the natives, accusing him of lying about the whereabouts of gold. The word of this act of violence spreads throughout the native tribes and they all disappear into the forest. Columbus begins to worry about a potential war arising, with the natives heavily outnumbering them. Upon return to his home in San Salvador, he finds his house ablaze, confirming his unpopularity among a certain faction of the settlers. Soon, the tribes arrive to fight the Spaniards and San Salvador becomes war-torn, with Columbus' governorship being reassigned with orders of him to return to Spain. After being informed about the discovery of the mainland by an Italian, he is sentenced to many years in prison, but is bailed out by his sons soon after. When summoned by the Queen about seeing the New World again, he makes a case for her about his dream to see the New World. She agrees to let him take a final voyage, on the condition he does not go with the brothers of his crew, and that he never returns to San Salvador. The closing scene shows him old, with his youngest son writing down his tales of the New World.

Renowned Greek composer Vangelis composed the score. Its main theme, Conquest of Paradise, was used by former Portuguese Prime-Minister António Guterres at his 1995 election and is used by the Portuguese Socialist Party as its anthem since then. The theme is also used at the starting line of the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc ultramarathon.
Other usages of the theme include New Zealand Super 15 Rugby franchise the Canterbury Crusaders, as they run onto the field, often accompanied by actors dressed as knights and riding on horseback, and rugby league team Wigan Warriors who play in Super League, as well as being played before the start of every match in 2010 ICC World Twenty20 cricket tournament as well as the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. In these events the theme was played right before the national anthems of the two competing nations, as the flags of the two nations were carried into the ground, accompanied by the players of the two teams. The German boxer Henry Maske (former world champion (IBF) in the Light heavyweight category) used the main theme as his official entry theme during his professional career.
Despite the film's dismal box office intake in the United States, the film's score became a successful album worldwide.
Release and Reception
Box office1492: Conquest of Paradise opened in theatres on October 9, 1992. It was rated PG-13 in the United States due to violence and brutality. The film was not a success, debuting at No. 7, and ultimately grossing far below its $47 million budget.[3]
CriticalOverall, the film got mixed reviews,[4][5][6][7][8] with the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes giving the film a "rotten" 39% rating based on 17 reviews. However, respected film critic Roger Ebert said in his review that the film was satisfactory, stating "Depardieu lends it gravity, the supporting performances are convincing, the locations are realistic, and we are inspired to reflect that it did indeed take a certain nerve to sail off into nowhere just because an orange was round."[9]
