'You yourself have said Step 1 is to 'finish your own dailies', which shows you understand why people are there.'
Exactly. There's a weird crack in the article's logic as the author tries to breeze through his dailies before exercising a range of (admittedly very clever and well thought out) strategies for ensuring other players can't succeed in theirs.
It's a matter of opinion at the end of the day, but I'm not sure 'PvP Server' means you have to be an utter expletive delighted to everyone, everywhere. You could probably write an essay for and against, but perhaps there's a difference between a player who's out in the world ('World PvP', right?) and someone who's gone to a specific place, to do a specific thing and get done with it... but can't, because you're griefing them.
I mean, if that's the way we're meant to be playing we should probably remind everyone to grab their biggest mounts and sit on the quest givers between ganks...

I attended the General Assembly committee hearing this summer on revamping HOPE, which is running out of money despite what some posters here insist. With rising tuition and improved college attendance, the Georgia Lottery — which funds both HOPE and pre-k — cannot keep up with demand.
Many bad ideas were floated at the hearing. One was reducing the amount of HOPE to cover 75 or 80 percent of the tuition tab. My argument against that measure is that HOPE succeeded because it was so straightfoward — attain a B average in high school, maintain a B average in college and the taxpayers of Georgia will pay your full tuition at a public college.
Start diluting that brilliant concept — thank you Zell Miller for the simplicity of the idea — and HOPE gets murky.
I would prefer that we raise the bar on keeping HOPE, no more losing it and regaining it. We eliminate the smaller HOPE funds that go to students attending private colleges in Georgia. (I know it would hurt; I had a child at Emory for a while, but I think parents who send their kids to private college expect to live on rice and beans.)
We ought to get rid of all second chances and preserve the simplicity of the merit scholarship: To keep HOPE in college, keep your B average. Only 46.2 percent of students who had HOPE when they began University System colleges still retain it at the 30 credit-hour checkpoint; one year for most students. At 90 credit hours, or about three years, only 37.4 percent are still eligible.
I heard an interview with state Rep. Len Walker, R-Loganville, this week where he reiterated that HOPE may only be able to cover a portion of tuition in the future. I hope that proposal does not prevail. What do you think?
I think my 11-year-old twins will see a greatly reduced HOPE, and I better redouble my efforts to save for their college educations. You may see me waiting tables at IHOP on weekends. That's how I got through college and grad school. And it's where I developed my deep affection for silver dollar pancakes.

First off, don't pay for students that need remedial classes. Investigate for schools that significant number of remedial graduates AND sub-standard SAT/ACT scores for Hope eligible students. Grade inflation is as bad as CRCT cheating if not worse. My daughter's first roommate at UGA was going into pre-Med and lost hope immediately. She is a great kid that thought she was ready for college based on HS achievement. Her HS failed her! She would have succeeded in a more rigorous environment.

Well, I am not sure that I agree with you about doing away with the regaining after losing. It is possible to have such a horrible term once that it kills your GPA (a parent dying, for example) so I like being able to regain it, at least ONCE. I'd like to see the first year be a forgiveable loan, to serve as a deterent to the "try it and see if I like it" attitude that so many seem to have. Think of the joy of being able to tear up the promissory note when that 30 hour "test" is completed! I am not in favor of making it "needs-based" at all, or cutting down the percentage of tuition it pays. As I opined yesterday, I DO think there should be an ACT/SAT minimum. Grade inflation is rampant! (As an aside, several years ago I interviewed h.s. counselors from a dozen nearby districts. Each swore that there was no grade inflation at THEIR school, but at that other school down the road grades were completely out of whack.)
One reason to strip it down in terms of eligibility is the sheer amount of money that is spent administering the program. I'd love to see what that adds up to. I know the costs to the colleges originally was tremendous.
December 10th, 2010

I disagree with the idea that once students lose HOPE, they should not be able to regain it. For many students, I think the HOPE scholarship is a major incentive for them to get their grades back up after a tough first year at college. As a recent college graduate, I had many friends who lost the HOPE but worked hard and were able to get it back, saving themselves or their parents a significant amount of money. The first year at college can be a tough adjustment and I don't think students should be punished indefinitely for a bad first year.
I think the first thing to go should be funding for private schools. There are some excellent colleges in Georgia that can give students a great education, and if they make the choice to attend a private school instead they should accept the higher costs. HOPE currently pays $2000/semester for students in private school, and the tuition for Emory is ~$20000/semester – students/families who are already paying this much can probably afford the extra amount that HOPE covers.
December 10th, 2010

I also agree with stripping HOPE from the private colleges. While they would argue that they are doing Georgia a "favor" by taking "excess" students, in reality HOPE for the private colleges acts as an endowment-stretcher.

It is reasonable to expect student to keep a B avg to keep HOPE scholarship. At least provide full tuition, not partial deals. If funds are short, catch it on the front end. Top 10% (20%) of the sr class at your HS gets HOPE. That cuts down on grade inflation problem. If everyone at my school has an inflated grade scale, but it is different than the inflated grade scale at your school, the problem works itself out within schools.

If we make it a reimbursement plan, there is no need to hire new people to figure out the percentages, there is no need to worry about inflated grades at the high school level, and there is no need to change anything except to whom they make the check out.
It's not rocket science!
December 10th, 2010
12:14 pm
I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but make HOPE a reimbursement program where the student pays his/her tuition up front, goes to class, and then gets reimbursed based on whether or not they pass the class. A reimbursement program would do several things:
1. Eliminate the grade inflation pressure at the high school level.
2. Cut back on the number of casual students who go to college "free" for a year, flunk out, and never return.
3. If a student runs headlong into one of those "classes from hell", they may not get a passing grade, but it wouldn't "kill" them with regards to HOPE.
4. You could tier the payments – 100% reimbursement for an A, 90% for a B, 80% for a C.
Low income students can get Pell grants and loans to pay the tuition up front, so it should not impact them.

In addition to the worthy previous comments, cut back or eliminate the hefty bonuses that the Georgia Lottery Corp. awards its employees every year. Their salaries are already at the top of the scale. In 2007 the president received a $236,500 bonus in addition to her $286,000 salary for supervising a staff of fewer than 300.
By law, Georgia Lottery Corp. returns half of the income as prizes, 1/3 to Hope and the rest for operations and marketing. I think that it should be changed to half for prizes, the minimum for operations and marketing, and everything else to Hope.

I like the idea of matching the HOPE amount to the tuition and fees at a 2-year college level – if they charge different amounts. Just because we propose transportation doesn't mean we give everyone a Cadillac. Also, if students are getting any other scholarships, then those figures should be somehow calculated in to adjust the HOPE amount. The total scholarship amount should not exceed tuition+fees+on-campus room/board.
December 10th, 2010
12:39 pm
I, too, am starting to feel like a broken record (or, to update the term, a corrupted mp3 file):
The purpose of HOPE is to allow students to OBTAIN a 4-year degree, not simply for students to attend college. For anyone who does NOT complete the degree within a certain amount of time, say 5 years, HOPE reverts to a regular old-fashioned student loan.
If the paperwork would be easier, HOPE could start out as a loan and be canceled by providing proof of graduation within a set time period.

I am very thankful for HOPE, since I teach math, I was able to get the Hope teacher grant to pay for my Masters Degree.
My daughter kept HOPE all through college, except her last semester (she met the credit-hour max).
My son did the opposite of most students, he did not have HOPE going into college but earned it after 30 hours and has kept it ever since.

It's also possible that a professor will bomb your grade in his class if he finds out you have political views with which he strongly disagrees. Most profs won't do that, but a few will, and it only takes one.

Also, add me to the list of those who do NOT want to eliminate the ability to re-gain HOPE.
If a student loses HOPE and has to pay for 30 hours, what better motivation to tow the line than the possibility of getting it back?
December 10th, 2010

Most colleges have merit scholarships of some type or other. When a student fails to meet the continuation requirements, the scholarship is gone.
That is what should happen with HOPE>.
December 10th, 2010

It would indeed be improper to remove the possibility of regaining the scholarship. There are MANY reasons for grades dropping – Of course coming from a "bad" school with very inflated grades or not having learned adequate discipline, but also having a semester with too big a load or too advanced courses, doing too much volunteer work, or losing a parent to cancer or a car accident – -. How many others of you have failed at something, picked yourself up and kept on going? Some of you have committed felonies, and you're pretty much never forgiven. But to never be forgiven for getting a semester below 3.0??? Pretty harsh, guilty no matter what.
Few of us like the abject greed of the lottery operators, but the legislature set them up that way. Said greedy ones will argue that they're better than all the rest of us, so they deserve more. Only the legislature can change that. Likely when the earth reverses rotation.
@catlady, perhaps, but as I noted under another of these, the correlation between mommy & daddy's income and SAT score is VERY high. We'd be almost as accurate just to base HOPE on their tax returns. On the other hand, perhaps a little research (rather than the usual arbitrary and capricious decision process usually used in such matters) would tell us what a reasonable minimum would be in most cases.
December 10th, 2010

Everyone's situation as to why they were able to keep HOPE or lost HOPE is different. My child (I just raised her.) is a special ed student whose entire high school career was centered around graduating with honors and getting HOPE (her goal). She has to study twice as hard as regular students and this she did to achieve her goal. She did graduate with honors and received HOPE.
In her first semester, not knowing of her disabilities, the advisor assigned her a very hard course which she should not have had the first semester. She made all A's and B's on the other courses but made a C on this one. As she doesn't take an excessive load, she lost HOPE by a hundredth of a point, but they checked her grades after the 2nd semester-not 30 hours which she did not have.
She is not a party animal or social butterfly and has done nothing but study to get HOPE back, and I think she will next time they check. This is an obsession with her not me. Maureen, sometimes students loose HOPE, not because they have not done their best, but because of other circumstances. Not regaining this scholarship when the grades have been "remade" is not an option.
Because of her ambition, she will be a success, and any college will be very glad to have her as a graduate.

HOPE should be need based but I would concede a minimum SAT/ACT would be acceptable. Reward the achievers, especially those that had to claw their way up the ladder and didn't start in the middle or close to the end. Students that are not economically disadvantaged have hope through access to resources. The kids that need HOPE the most are the ones who have the ability but not the resources. You do this you'll save a nice chuck of money for the program.
Private colleges should have never been on the list in the first place, but they have a strong lobby that will fight for their piece.
Those that support it being for everyone just want to make sure their kids or relatives get it even if they have the resources to pay for higher ed. The money they save from not paying college tuition can go for other uses to their individual benefit.
Also, turning it into a loan/reimbursement makes it a loan not a scholarship and diminishes the program as a whole. This is just another way to protect the dreams of some (not economically disadvantaged) while dashing those of others (economically disadvantaged). And making it a loan does not make the paperwork easier

Students should get at 1-2 chances to regain but with conditions.

With 2 daughters in college the Hope has been a needed blessing. Our oldest daughter lost hope the 1st year but regained it the second year and has been on the dean's list evey since so I would strongly oppose loosing it without the chance to regain it. I don't understand funding the pre-K programs and think that should be the 1st cut. We are paying for 3-4 year olds to be baby sat at our expense. Most pre-k's dont even offer any educational classes. Now ask yourself where the money should be invested. In our 18-22 year olds who are ready to become our new leaders or someone who has hardly been potty trained. One more thing, if hope is in such diere straights why are we still handed out million dollar bonuses to the people who run it.
December 10th, 2010

Means test Hope Scholarships. If the family has a high income then give less Hope Scholarship but keep the full scholarship for those whose families cannot otherwise pay.
Getting loans for college can leave a child with debts that stay with them for 20 years. I don't think we should consider loans a solution for those who already don't have many resources behind them, especially for students who have worked hard in school to meet the grade requirement.
Finally, do allow someone who loses Hope due to a bad semester to regain Hope if grades are improved. Most of us run into something during college that proves we aren't nearly as smart as we thought – Advanced Statistics, anyone?

It would appear that the high school qualifications need to be tightened. When more than half of those students who qualified in high school loose their grant in the first year of college, we are spending way too much on students who are likely to never finish college. Perhaps we should require a 3.5 high school GPA and give extra credit for AP courses.
I like being able to regain a lost scholarship because the student has incentive to work hard, but he gets nothing until he has proven himself.
December 10th, 2010

Investing money in Pre-K provides more for the dollar—I don't care how much money you spend on an 18 year old, if they didn't learn to read well in the first few years of school, you're p*ssing in the wind.
Of course this goes against the thousands of middle-class parents who don't want to pay for college, so I fully expect to see Pre-K funding bite the dust. It doesn't matter how well a program works or if it is sustainable in the long term. What matters is popularity with voters. See: Security, Social.

For those that want to toss out HOPE for private colleges, be careful:
The high-end public colleges and universities don't have the class space to provide access to all students … be prepared to increase the budgets for state schools for faculty hiring, facilities, and the like. A kid that wants to attend Mercer University (with HOPE) probably does not see Columbus State as an alternative (without HOPE).
I believe the idea in making HOPE applicable to private schools is a way to expand access by using existing resources (private colleges and universities) rather than incur – what I am sure would be – exorbitant costs to expand the public option.

No to Need Based Hope – already federal dollars there
No to private schools – clearly a decision
No to regaining status – that's life baby! (no excuses)
No to Pre K – obvious child care
No to remedial classes – duh high school!
Yes to SAT/ACT qualifying in addition to grades
Yes to Hope at GA Technical Colleges
Yes to Lottery Bonuses (when income goals are met)
Yes to Hope for Georgia High School Graduates (9-12 grades) Not 1 or 2 years attendance.
My daughter graduated with Honors from Technical College with Assoc Deg.
My Son is Senior at SPSU and will graduate with honors.
No college debt for either one. They both knew that if they didn't make the grades then they would have to work and go to school. Both have received HOPE funding.
Take the Pre K money and spend it in the high schools to make sure they are prepared for the next level!
P.S. Never bought a lottery ticket!
December 10th, 2010

Instead of lowering the percentage of costs covered for all by the scholarship to a point which would be cost prohibitive: scholarships should only be awarded to those attending state schools; both the GPA and SAT scores required for entry need to be raised; provisions need to be made for the students that, in the past, would have gotten a scholarship to a four-year college to have the option to apply for scholarships to attend state technical school. Any, most importantly, any student with failing scores in the first year, caught cheating, kicked out for disciplinary reasons; quits or otherwise fails to succesfully complete the first–or any subsequent year–with a passing grade should be required to repay the scholarship fund for the tuition for that year–this one provision has the potential to discourage a lot of the partying time that should be used for studying and reserve limited educational resources for those that are going to college or technical school to learn.

The HOPE helped put our daughter through UGA. She never lost it and that's what we expected. We told her, due to her capabilities, that if she lost the HOPE then she would have to get student loans. I also could see in her freshman year, being in a sorority and fairly social, that I would have to add an incentive. It's hard to make up grades, so I put out the carrot of paying for half her sorority expenses if she made a 3.5 and would pay for all of them if she made a 4.0. My real goal was for her to maintain higher than a 3.0, thus retaining the HOPE. It worked. Good thing. Our financial position changed drastically and the HOPE was fabulous for us and her. And no debt for anyone!!
December 10th, 2010
3:56 pm
No means test should be required for the HOPE scholarship unless we pass a law that requires parents to pay for a child's tuition.
Cutting HOPE to less than 100% will raise student loan levels. When students graduate with more loans, earnings go to pay off loans with interest rather than back into the local economy (one of the reasons for HOPE and keeping kids in-state.)
The legislature needs to cut back on special interest tax breaks and properly fund higher education. The crisis in HOPE was created by cuts to education. The institutions have been forced to raise tuition to balance out the cuts. (This was the legislature's method of getting its hands on the lottery funds).
We should freeze tuition at our public colleges and universities for the next 10 years. The rise in the costs of tuition is the reason HOPE is struggling even though the lottery is making more money than it did in the 90's.
Lastly, HOPE should not go to private schools. If the students want HOPE, they have options. If they want to go to a private school, that is their option.
December 10th, 2010
3:57 pm
For those that want to take the Hope away from private school students also remember that Hope only pays $4000 per year for private schools and full tuition at public schools. The fund saves money by paying the smaller amount to private school students. It is interesting that this discussion follows the same pattern as everything else in this country lately. The Hope shouldn't be and isn't a "needs based" program. It is an earned program and the kids who earn the Hope by their hard work in high schools deserve it just as much if they go to a private school as if they go to a public school.
December 10th, 2010
4:14 pm
Mystery Poster — I love your idea! HOPE should become a loan if one does not obtain his college degree in a reasonable amount of time (6 yrs. max).
Lee — You're out of touch with the masses. Making HOPE a reimbursement program puts college out of reach for most. The majority of HOPE recipients have no means for paying for college up front.
I feel strongly that HOPE should remain merit-based and not need-based. I also STRONGLY believe that funds for the GA preK program should be eliminated. It is nothing more than free babysitting. HOPE has been around long enough to have students enrolled in the initial preK program to have graduated from college…Where are those students? What impact did the free preK program have on students v. students in the same graduating that did not attend a free preK program? My guess is that there was no difference.

Someone needs to do an audit on the Lottery. As a retailer my sales have not gone up but the amount of money that I pay the lottery has gone way up. I also see how much I am paying out in winning tickets and it is at an all time low.

I would like the option of a pre-paid college plan like Florida. That way parents could go ahead and pay the tuition and not worry if the kids keep up their grades. It could ease the burden on Hope funds.
December 10th, 2010
4:23 pm
Of course HOPE should be eliminated for private colleges, but that's not going to happen. The private school lobby is very strong, as Just Wondering pointed out correctly. Those who argue that it takes the pressure off our public schools… Well, I have yet to meet anyone for whom a $4K/yr grant makes the difference between affording and not affording a $20K/yr college, and I believe that anyone who says it does is disingenuous.
Of course there should be a means cap on HOPE. If the family makes more than $100K a year (or pick another arbitrary number, maybe as a multiple of the poverty line), then begin scaling it proportionately back. They don't need it… emphasis need. But that will not happen, either. HOPE is now seen as a middle class entitlement program.
And of course this is why the pre-K funding is being attacked. It's not a babysitting program; it's a demonstrably effective means of eliminating some of the gap between the middle and lower socio-economic classes. The middle class folks don't see the point in that. Wonder why?
Paying for only part of tuition with HOPE is essentially turning it into another "nice to have" scholarship that won't actually enable those who need it to go. Similarly, demanding reimbursement if a student loses HOPE will deter many promising students from attending. Lose it and never get it back? Refuse to help pay for remedial courses? Well, that penalizes those students who are from low-quality school systems. And since that's not most middle-class parents, that's just fine.
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish, and he'll want to see the Centers for Learning Fishing closed down, because he doesn't need them anymore, and by golly, he essentially taught himself to fish (at least, that's what he tells himself). Furthermore, fishing is so gosh darn simple, he doesn't understand why everyone isn't fishing already. They must be lazy.

One more thing–tuition costs will stop rising at public colleges when the state stops gutting the budget for college and university systems. Even with tuition increases, the cuts have been astronomical.
Further, the draconian cuts experienced by the state's public colleges this year are going to be even worse in the upcoming Republican administration by the corporate-worshipping Deal. Get used to more tuition for fewer services.
As Deal has said, education is now a low priority for the state.

1. Only pay for the number of students the funds allow (higher averages accepted).
2. When lost, it is gone – no "re-earning" Hope.
3. Pay for full tuition and books, etc. for those earning hope.
Pretty simple.
December 10th, 2010

Students in private colleges have historically been short-changed by the HOPE Scholarship program. The State of Georgia provides much heftier support to students in public institutions of higher education. Reducing — or eliminating — HOPE Scholarship funds to students in private colleges is a very bad idea. Contrary to what is sometimes claimed, the finances of families from which private college students come are quite similar to the finances of families from which public college students come.
December 10th, 2010
4:39 pm
Maureen, so you think that schools should be allowed to raise their tuition as much as they please and the hope should still pay all of it? That doesn't even address why they continue to raise tuition at a huge rate in such tough economic times.
Also, I'm not sure how "brilliant" a system based on b average is. It seems common sense to me.
December 10th, 2010
4:43 pm
This is not rocket science…
Anytime students are required to make an investment into their education, they'll likely work harder at it. My idea is to have EVERY student pay for their college tuition upfront and get REIMBURSED if they earn an A or B at the end of the semester. If you want to pay 75% for a B and 100% for an A, that'll work, too.
End of discussion.
December 10th, 2010

HOPE most certainly isn't wasted on students at private colleges. Many receive other scholarships – often offered by the school – that reduce the cost of private school tuition dramatically. I know several people who just barely covered private school tuition through a combination of HOPE, merit-based scholarships, and need-based grants. Additionally, some private college students are using student loans to cover all or part of the cost and HOPE at least reduces the student loan debt level upon graduation.
December 10th, 2010
4:45 pm
I definitely agree with not paying for remedial classes and private colleges. That being said, it seems that the higher ups are frustrated because too many of our students are qualifying for HOPE in general. They need not worry because after everything is stripped from the K-12 programs, no one will qualify for college any way. Have to keep the minimum wage worker ratio status quo. Way to go Georgia!

The main problem with government social welfare programs – and HOPE is most certainly one – is that they are generally retained after their creation long after they are either A) proven to be ineffective or even counterproductive or B) the original set of circumstances that justified their creation no longer exist. And for HOPE, B) is the case. Make no mistake: the reason why HOPE was created was to keep the best Georgia students from leaving the state for better universities elsewhere, particularly those in Florida, Texas, Virginia and North Carolina. It was a way of reducing brain drain and increasing the reputation of our state universities on the cheap (i.e. without working to improve the quality of our universities, or for that matter of our K-12 system), a perfect solution for the conservative Democrats who ran this state at the time (where conservative Republicans would have denied that it was a problem worth addressing in the first place).
But look, that was way back in 1990, before the Olympics, and before the economic boom, and before the growth of the Atlanta suburbs and exurbs with well-educated, high income families (mostly transplants) to stock outstanding public and private high schools. Before then, there wasn't really a whole lot that separated Georgia from Alabama, South Carolina etc. Now, the state has changed, and part of that change includes an AAU university that is one of the top 5 public colleges in the nation (Georgia Tech), another highly ranked university that will soon reach AAU status now that it is adding programs in engineering and medicine (UGA), a legitimate urban research and liberal arts university (Georgia State) plus some other fast risers (Kennesaw State, and now that they also have engineering Georgia Southern). So, instead of needing HOPE to bribe a relatively small number of top high school students to stay in state to attend a pedestrian (to be kind) university system with an antiquated governance model, HOPE is now a welfare program for a large pool of mostly affluent students that would have remained in-state anyway. The program is no longer needed and should be scrapped altogether.
Some have suggested that HOPE should be means-tested to limit its number of recipients. The issue there is that needy families already receive need-based financial aid. Similar problems exist with other proposals: they don't justify the existence of the program and are merely inventing ways to try to keep around a program that is obsolete, or to put it another way to find a way to justify continuing to spend the money. And yes, that includes the pre-K program: what evidence is there that it actually improves the academic performance of the children who receives it, or increases the quality of preschools? Or I should say that the folks who support "universal preschool" need to openly advocate their agenda instead of using HOPE funds to implement this progressive goal stealthily and incrementally.
So, 1 of 2 things should be done. The first is to simply end the lottery. The lottery preys on a vulnerable population (addicts, desperate, the poor), legalizes and legitimizes a social problem, and is not only a regressive tax, but a reverse Robin Hood scheme, one that takes revenue mostly from the poor mostly for the benefits of the upper classes. I suppose progressives and liberals countenance this outrageous scheme primarily because it represents some sort of victory over the fundamentalist or evangelical Christians that oppose gambling. Allow me to say that any "victory" that results in unemployed single mothers and gambling addicts subsidizing the university educations of people that have the means to pay for it themselves is not worth having. (By the way: the fundamentalist and evangelical Christians who accept HOPE money but are talking about opting out of ObamaCare have some explaining to do.)
If we choose to retain the loathsome lottery, then its revenue should be directed towards something more worthwhile. For instance, instead of paying for tuition, the money could be used to add programs to the colleges themselves (i.e. the engineering program at UGA, and in particular raising the many "universities in name only" in this state to actual universities … only UGA, GT, Georgia State and Medical College of Georgia are legitimate, comprehensive competitive universities … compare our other universities to the California State University System – not the University of California system with the elite schools like UCLA and Berkeley mind you, but the Cal State system with schools like Fresno State – and it becomes a huge joke that entities like Albany State, West Georgia, Valdosta State and Columbus State are called "universities."). Perhaps it could be used to improve innovations in K-12 (i.e. magnet schools that would be run by the state instead of local school boards, vocational/technical training for non-college bound students, afterschool programs, AP classes and other amenities for rural and other underfunded schools, online classes, a grant program for charter schools).
Or a better idea: what about transportation and infrastructure? Long needed highways, port expansion in Savannah, light rail, heavy rail, high speed rail, streetcars, trolleys etc. That and alternative energy research. Now that this state will finally have 3 public engineering schools, it is an excellent time to become a national leader in getting us off both foreign oil and scams like ethanol.
The bottom line: HOPE is outdated. And it is also bad social policy for this state, to create the expectation of being able to go to college for free. (Or if we are going to implement some sort of liberal socialist – excuse me, progressive – scheme like that, then pay for it with something other than lottery funds.) Either end the lottery altogether (my preference) or use the money to solve an EXISTING state problem (like transportation) and not something that hasn't been a problem (brain drain) for going on 10 years.

JASon, public colleges are raising their rates because the state isn't funding them. They have cut programs and staff to the point of ridiculousness. The tuition hikes don't begin to match the funding cuts.
December 10th, 2010

Well first of all you need to put a freeze on college tuition costs. The yearly rate of increase in tuition rates is rediculous and especially so for books. My son is studying accounting @ Kennesaw State and his books last semester were over $800 bucks & the editions are updated every year so you have to pay for a new one every year. Second, I would cap pre-k spending to a certain level. I think that parents can should pay a portion of the costs of Pre-K for their child as its benefits are dubious @ best. We are starting kids out earlier and they are still behind so something is not working there. Those areas would be a starting place for reform.

One of the major problems with HOPE is that no school wants to have the least amount of HOPE scholars, so there is rampant grade inflation. So now you have 'C' students getting HOPE.
Hate to sound cold hearted, but it's a matter of resource allocation. If HOPE can't cover everyone, then we start at the top and hand it out until it's gone.

If a student who wants to attend a private school can't afford it, then she/he should consider some of Georgia's fine public schools. However, tax money shouldn't be used to support private enterprises, including colleges. We agree that education is important, so we subsidize it; however, we cannot afford to subsidize private education.
December 10th, 2010
4:57 pm
Fundad, you should petition the Georgia legislature to stop cutting the budget to the state's public colleges. The amount of money gained from the tuition hikes doesn't begin to cover what was cut. Services have been chopped mercilessly the past few years, and you can expect more tuition hikes and service cuts as the state budget deprioritizes education even further.

A 3.0 is absolutely not good enough to deserve FREE education! Get a dose of reality! You won't get a job nowadays with that kind of GPA, but the state will reward you anyways?

Todd McShay released his mock draft on ESPN today and here is who he has mocked to the San Diego Chargers:
COLLEGE: Florida AGE: 20 HT: 6-0 WT: 185 POS: CB
Analysis: The Chargers need to upgrade at cornerback and in the return game, and Purifoy could help in both areas. He is raw with his technique but has the potential to develop into a playmaker at corner because of his very good ball skills, and because he's one of the most naturally talented defensive backs in this draft. If the Chargers pass on Purifoy, they could go with a smaller but equally skilled and more polished cover corner in TCU's Jason Verrett. If they take a CB here, they could target a pass-rusher like Auburn's Dee Ford in Round 2 and a guard like Baylor's Cyril Richardson in Round 3.
I think Purifoy would be a reach at this spot. I would much rather take his second option of Jason Verrett in this spot. Purifoy has much better size at corner though.
I love what McShay projects to the team in the next couple of rounds though. Dee Ford and Cyril Richardson. Can we sign up for that right now?

A few days after the NFL fined him a fifth time, Mike Mitchell said he believes the league is targeting him and directed a few pointed words at commissioner Roger Goodell.
A sixth fine – for his comments Monday – might be forthcoming for the Panthers' physical and outspoken free safety.
Mitchell was one of five St. Louis and Carolina players fined for their roles in the fights and shoving matches during the second half of the Panthers' 30-15 victory on Oct. 20.
Mitchell, a former Oakland Raiders player in his first year with the Panthers, was docked $7,875 for taunting after a fourth-quarter hit on Rams quarterback Sam Bradford, who sustained a season-ending knee injury on the play. Mitchell celebrated in front of the St. Louis bench, but said he didn't realize Bradford had been injured.
Mitchell wasn't surprised when the FedEx envelope arrived from the league office last week.
"Roger being Roger, I guess," Mitchell said. "To be honest, I think there is a little bit of a targeting system they have out. And I think I'm one of the guys they've been looking for, but I'm OK with that. The coaches and my teammates know who I am, know the type of player I am."
Mitchell said his five fines this year have totaled close to $45,000 – money that has gone "right in Roger's pocket," he said.
And Mitchell doesn't believe the latest fine will be his last.
"There's going to be (more). We have nine games left, and I'm not going to change the way that I play," Mitchell said. "I'm not getting penalties. I'm not playing dirty. I'm not hitting anyone to the head. If you want to fine me on these little judgmental things, keep them coming. It's a write-off."
Mitchell, the Raiders' second-round pick in 2009 from Ohio University, said he's been fined more than 10 times during his career.
Mitchell's arrival in the league coincided with the implementation of a rule prohibiting defenders from striking a "defenseless receiver" in the head – fouls Goodell pledged to crack down on the following year following a spate of vicious hits during a single weekend.
Mitchell believes players with reputations as big hitters are being singled out, saying he's been fined every year he's been in the NFL.
"I'm just being targeted because I play football and I'm physical. I'm not out here cheap-shotting guys or doing dirty plays like you've seen people from Detroit do," said Mitchell, referring to oft-fined Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
"I'm not doing those things. So why I'm getting fined I really have no idea," Mitchell added. "But I'm going to keep playing my game. It's working for our defense and our team."
Mitchell missed the opener against Seattle with a calf injury and didn't become a starter until Week 3, following a season-ending Achilles injury to Charles Godfrey. He's the only player in the league with at least three interceptions and two sacks, and has helped bring a swagger to the Panthers' third-ranked defense.
"He's a presence back there in the secondary. And you know those guys. When you're on offense prepping for teams like that, you take notice of guys like that," Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said. "He's back there lurking, and he's looking to make those big hits. But I think also, what people don't realize, is he's good in coverage."
Olsen also praised the tackling ability of Mitchell, whose 28 solo stops rank third on the team behind linebackers Thomas Davis (35) and Luke Kuechly (32).
Godfrey believes Mitchell plays with a "controlled violence," but said "he has to play a little bit smarter on some of those plays."
Since picking up a personal foul penalty against Baltimore in the preseason, Mitchell said he's tried to slow down when approaching a ball-carrier on his way to the ground.
He's only been penalized once during the regular season – an unnecessary roughness call for hitting Arizona running back Andre Ellington near the sideline in Week 5. He was not fined for the hit.
"I've definitely cut down on the personal foul penalties. As long as I'm not getting flags that are hurting the team," Mitchell said. "You're going to fine me for something that's not getting flagged, that's their judgment."

Transcript of European Union/United States Justice and Home Affairs Ministerial Press Availability
WASHINGTON , Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following transcript of the European Union/ United States Justice and Home Affairs Ministerial Press Availability was released today by the U.S. Department of Justice: 1:40 P.M...
We have also worked on the level of controlling explosives by identifying components that can be used to manufacture explosives, as well as the ways of trafficking in these explosives and other elements used to manufacture them.
We have discussed the establishment of a PNR, a Passenger Name Record, in Europe . This would allow us to be more aware of flights coming into our countries while also remaining alert to protecting individual liberties.
We are also working to try to anticipate threats as much as possible. The best way we can protect our own citizens is to avoid attacks being conceived. Society evolves, technology evolves, and crime also evolves while using our technology.
From this point of view, this morning, as the Attorney General said, we have worked a great deal on protecting children. We have talked about Internet child pornography. During the presidency of the European Union, we agreed on creating a European platform to unify analysis and surveillance of child pornography Web sites.
I thank the Attorney General and the European community for assisting in financing and supporting this effort. Because this involves not only our own borders but Europe's borders, I suggest that the European and American forums be allowed to continue to work together on this subject.
We have also worked on managing borders. I welcome six new European states in the American Visa Waiver Program. There are still some countries that do not have access, but I hope that they will soon be able to.
Also this morning, we dealt with the problem of our experience exchange in the area of terrorist threats, which I referred to earlier, as well as the area of transnational organized crime, such as drug trafficking. We are working to adjust our resources to deal with these threats as well, because protecting ourselves against terrorism, organized crime and drug trafficking is not the only goal, this helps us protect ourselves as well.
So that is what I wanted to bring up for you with regard to the working meeting this morning as well as our lunch. All of this took place in a very positive atmosphere, and this indicates the level of trust between our organizations and governments concerning a subject which is at the heart of our responsibilities to our countries. Our responsibility is to protect our citizens.
ATTORNEY GENERAL MUKASEY: Now, Jacques Barrot , European Union Commissioner for Justice. Thank you.
MR. BARROT: (Through translator.) Thank you very much, Mr. Attorney General, Mr. Baker, and thank you for the kind welcome from the United States of America .
I should say that the Commission has worked under the leadership of Michelle Alliot-Marie in excellent cooperation with the French Presidency. I am happy to say that we look forward to continuing to work in such a positive spirit.
We are continuing to develop our cooperation in the law enforcement area across the Atlantic in a manner that reflects increased confidence and cooperation. We brought up the subject of the ratification of the mutual legal assistance treaty and extradition treaty. We are encouraging the final ratification by the few member states who have not done so yet, so that it will become operational.
We support the exchange of information while at the same time being concerned about protecting the security of personal data. We would like to reach an international agreement about this problem concerning information exchange and protection of personal privacy. As Minister Alliot-Marie said, "We evaluated terrorism. We have discussed radicalization. And with regard to radicalization we have accomplished a great deal with Mr. Kirkov, responsible for counter-terrorism."
In February 2009 we will host a seminar and we invite American participation. And, as I understand, Mr. Baker said he would participate. We also dealt with the topic of explosives with a seminar which took place last week in Brussels , which also allowed for very fruitful discussions. We have a European action plan dealing with explosives, and we have established a European network to eliminate explosive devices.

Welcome to the Seneca Lake Wine Trail
New 2015 Winery Members
While their official membership does not begin until 2015, Bagley's Poplar Ridge Vineyards and, under new ownership, Castel Grisch Winery have both been welcomed back aboard the Seneca Lake Wine Trail and will be participating in various programs towards the end of this year, and throughout 2015 and beyond. As is the case with all our member wineries, these new members are committed to crafting quality wine using grapes harvested in the region, creatively and passionately reflecting the terroir.
Deck the Halls Weekends
Our two remaining Trail-wide events are our November and then December Deck the Halls Weekends! These two separate, but virtually identical, events taking place the weekend of 11/21-11/23 and 12/5-12-7, are also our most popular and tend to sell out at least four weeks in advance of the event itself. Co-sponsored by Elmira's ever popular The Christmas House retail destination, participants can visit up to 33 different participating wineries, enjoying wine and food pairings along the way, and collecting a custom ornament at each visited winery with which to adorn your handmade grapevine wreath. You can purchase tickets to this event here, and see much more information about the event here.

Union Public service commission (UPSC) has added new syllabus related to the security issue, the new topics are Money laundering, naxalism and many more. In this post we will going to explain about Money laundering, what is money laundering , Methods of money laundering, how is money laundered and how it is relate to the corruption, terror finance. So read it carefully I will try to give all answers related to the money laundering.
What is money laundering and how is money laundered?
Money laundering means changes the illegal money, which is obtained from the illegal activities such as smuggling, extortion, and drug trafficking and gambling to the legal money to make the money legitimate. Every money launders main aim is washing the dirty money and convert it into the legitimate money. As we have seen that charted accountants and bank manager are playing a crucial role in the conversion of illegal money into the legal money and they also give suggestions to the money launders.
History of Money laundering
Money laundering had started from the 4000 B.C when Chinese merchant used to hide the money and send them to the outside of the country from the jurisdiction of the King; this was the beginning of Money laundering.
Money can laundered though these methods
- Placement
- Layering
- Integration
Also Check: UPSC Answer key & Question paper of Prelims 2013
1. Placement means placed the money into various institutions such as bank because larger amount/money can not be deposited in Bank, every bank will ask for the source of the money. (Private and Public banks). A person can easily deposit large amount of money through the various parts of money according to the banks rule and requirements, this is also known as smurfing. Because
Money laundering can be done through invest in gold biscuits, coins, antiques, fine arts (paintings) which also give as legitimate source of money laundering.
2. Layering means invest money or send money far away from the origin of the money such as to invest in Swiss bank and second method is give the tax to the other states, which can easily makes the money legitimate
3. Integration means invest the money in the economy again and reinvest the money again through various businesses in economy.
How is Money laundering related with corruption
Corruption and money laundering are interlinked. As we have seen that, some bureaucrats take bribe with the help of third person and they wants to hide source of their illegal money. Thus, Third person invest that money from the far away of its origin. Such as, invest in Swiss bank, in gold coins etc. For understanding, we can take the example of such as many elites people have their money in the Swiss bank.
Narcotics Terrorism and Terror finance
Narcotics terrorism and terror finance are interlinked. Narcotics terrorism means import and exports the drugs to the other state or country to make them dependent on the drugs. With the help of that money, they purchased arms and ammunition which leads to the terror finance.
Techniques of money laundering
Money laundering can be done through various techniques
- Airlines is first method to do money laundering, which is safe method for the money launders, some groups have their own aircraft (Private), there is no intervention of government.
- Money laundering can be done through the porous land borders
- Last one is through the way of water: Personal fleet is very successful way to the money laundering
Narcotics Terrorism and Terror finance
Narcotics terrorism and terror finance are interlinked. Narcotics terrorism means import and exports the drugs to the other state or country to make them dependent on the drugs. With the help of that money, they purchased arms and ammunition which leads to the terror finance.
Thoughts: I am Aditya an UPSC aspirant i would like to say that, This is good decision for the Union Public service commission that added the syllabus relating to the security issue, because to know about the security is mandatory for the all UPSC aspirants. People must know about the money laundering. Because awareness can make you aware about the money laundering, I will hope this information will increase your general knowledge. If you find this is important then you must recommend to our friend and family members.

How to choose the best CMS for your website
As a website owner, you should be able to update content and carry out administration functions without having to go to a developer every single time.
Common tasks might include blog updates, changing staff photos, processing orders, editing products or managing memberships.
A content management system (CMS) promises you an interface for completing these tasks, without ever having to touch code.
But not all content management systems are created equal, so are you better to go with something off-the-shelf or custom-built to your requirements?
Off-the-shelf CMS solutions
There is a plethora of off-the-shelf content management systems available, from blog platforms like Wordpress to systems like Drupal and Joomla. They are widely used, come at a low cost upfront and are packed with features.
- Get up and running quickly by reducing development time.
- Create a website without in-depth technical knowledge.
- Widespread editing control over content.
- Support forums, tutorials and documentation available.
- Interface can be cluttered with more controls than you need.
- Popular content management systems are frequent targets for security hacks.
- Add-on software often required to extend functionality.
- May require tricky work-arounds to do things that don't fit the mould.
- Control over look and feel can be restricted.
Off-the-shelf content management systems are appealing because they offer so much for so little cost. And they can work when the scope of your site is simple and well understood. However, when they limit what you can do or become daunting to use, the appeal quickly fades.
Content management isn't plug and play
In most cases, the CMS you choose will become inseparably linked to your website and form the foundation on which everything is built.
Just as building materials and methods dictate how easily a house can be altered, your CMS will dictate how easily your website can be extended and adapt to the ever-evolving web.
A common example of how websites are needing to adapt is the ability to work across mobile devices. To achieve this, you might make your site into a responsive website or even create a dedicated mobile site.
With some off-the-shelf content management systems, the inherent limitations can make mobile optimisation a harder task.
When the cookie cutter doesn't cut it
Choosing an off-the-shelf CMS can be a case of compromising – an attempt to fit your specific business requirements into a product that caters to all.
Your CMS shouldn't require you to consult a manual or use work-arounds to get things done. It should be simple, intuitive and match your workflow.
"Truly elegant design incorporates top-notch functionality into a simple, uncluttered form."
— David Lewis
When a system offers to do everything, you can end up with an interface like this:
With a custom CMS, the interface mirrors your unique website structure, making the relationship between content you're editing and how it appears on the website clear and obvious:
Tailored to you
Your website is a living thing that needs to adapt and grow over time. Because it's difficult to envisage all of the ways your site may change in future, it's hard to assess the suitability of different content management systems.
The beauty of custom development is that you build only what you need and it's ready to grow with you when the time comes.
- Simple and easy to use interface.
- Very focused on your tasks.
- Development time goes into only what you need.
- Keeps things fast, flexible and lean 'under the hood'.
- Total control going forward.
- Usually comes at a higher cost upfront.
- It helps to have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish.
"Simple can be harder than complex" — Steve Jobs
Although custom content management comes at a higher cost upfront, it can be more cost effective in the long term to build something right from the start, than to manipulate an existing product into what you want.

One consideration this article doesn't touch on but businesses may want to consider, is that with a popular off-the-shelf CMS such as Wordpress, Drupal etc you can take your website with you if your relationship with the web developer changes for any reason. If a custom system is used you are likely locked in to that particular design company or facing a total rebuild.
I agree with Mark's comment and this flexibility of web developer can also exist with a popular CMS which includes a large amount of custom website development. For example we use the open source Umbraco CMS which uses ASP.NET and SQL server technology which is compatible with many companies and web development organisations. We have taken over the on-going development of maintenance of Umbraco based websites from other web design agencies with little technical difficulty.
So, yes this can be done even with complex sites and it gives customers more flexibility, assurance and helps them "keep their supplier honest".
Actually you're not locked in with a developer if you get them to build a custom CMS. You just need to make sure that should have a contract to say that you have the right to have any other developer work on the code so aren't locked in to using that particular development company.
As Archer says, it really depends on the company. We use open technologies (PHP & MySQL) to develop our custom solutions and the client owns all code. So they are free to take the site and CMS to another developer or hosting company if they wish.

Casey James sings about going after the girl he's about to lose as she's about to board a plane in his latest single "Crying on a Suitcase." That was one of the songs Casey performed during a 30-minute set at Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National Airport Tuesday afternoon.
The performance was part of U.S. Airways celebration of their expanded service from D.C. and Casey says,"I can't think of a more appropriate place to sing 'Crying on a Suitcase.'"
Casey's self-titled debut album is now in stores.

Navratilova's Nostalgic Week in Prague
Published May 14, 2006 12:00
PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Although it didn't have a fairy tale ending, the return of Martina Navratilova to her former homeland of the Czech Republic this past week for the ECM Prague Open 2006 by Ceska sporitelna was still an emotional, cathartic experience.
The 49-year-old, who fled the former Czechoslovakia in 1975 and became an American citizen back in 1981, was making her first professional appearance here in 20 years, after helping the Americans tackle the Czechs during the 1986 Fed Cup final.
Seeded No.1 alongside young Czech player Barbora Strycova, Navratilova received a standing ovation before and after her much-anticipated first appearance back in the Czech capital, her birthplace. Her first match back ended in a comprehensive 62 63 win over Olga Blahotova and Ahsha Rolle (another Czech-American pair). The capacity crowd of 4,000's showing of appreciation nearly brought Navratilova to tears.
"It was an experience I wouldn't change for anything else," Navratilova said. "I had to keep myself from crying. But there can't be too much nostalgia, or we would lose quickly."
In a surprisingly quick turn of events, the sentimental favorites were ousted in the second round, 64 62, by Americans Ashley Harkleroad and Bethanie Mattek-Sands. The unseeded duo would eventually prove to be one of the top performers of the week, making the final before falling to Shahar Peer and Marion Bartoli.
"We didn't play as well as we did in the first match," Navratilova said. "It's a pity. I had hoped for a better result. I did what I could but was not able to prevent the loss.
"Although we have lost much earlier than we would have wanted, playing in Prague was an amazing experience that I would never trade for anything."
Navratilova is a former world No.1, a 167-time Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles titlist and a 175-time Tour doubles titlist. The Sarasota resident's most recent title came last summer in Toronto, capturing the doubles with Germany's Anna-Lena Groenefeld. Her best result this season so far is a runner-up finish with South Africa's Liezel Huber in Miami.

Plant Maltese Cross in full sun to partial shade in well drained soil.
It tolerates
nearly all soil types and short periods of drought well. As the
"Maltese Cross" starts to come into bloom, the plant may need
to be staked.
Seed can be started in a cold frame or greenhouse in early spring
and moved outdoors after danger of frost has passed. For much
quicker growth purchase pre-started Maltese Cross plants at your local Garden
Center. Once the plants become established they may be dug and divided in spring.

1947 Induction Ceremony
Two Philadelphia A's and two New York Giants join the Hall of Fame in the induction class of 1947. Teammates Mickey Cochrane and Lefty Grove of the three-time pennant winning Philadelphia A's from 1929-1931 along with leading vote-getter Carl Hubbel and all-around second basemen, Frankie Frisch of the New York Giants complete the class.
MICKEY COCHRANE: An extremely fierce competitor for the Philadelphia A's and Detroit Tigers, Cochrane was a do-it-all catcher who led his team on and the off the field with his exceptional play and strong leadership. He hit for a career average of .320 while leading Philadelphia to three straight pennants from 1929-1931 where he excelled at the plate, batting .331, .357, and .349 in each respective year. After spending nine season with the Athletics, Cochrane finished his career as player-manager of the Detroit Tigers for four seasons where he won a World Series Championship in 1935.
FRANK FRISCH: A superb second basemen who the New York Giants (1919-1926) and St. Louis Cardinals (1927-1937), Frisch was a top-notch athlete whose range in the field equaled his production in the batter's box where he hit for an average of .300 or more in 11 straight seasons. As player-manager for the Cardinals, Frisch led his team to a World Series in 1934.
LEFTY GROVE: A pitcher for the Philadelphia A's from 1925-1933, Grove was the epitome of a number one pitcher. In a three-year span from 1929-1931, Grove went an incredible 79-15 winning the pitcher's Triple Crown in each of those seasons. Grove went on to win 300 games in his career, an amazing feat for any pitcher and collected nine ERA titles, the greatest total in history.
CARL HUBBELL: The leading vote-getter for 1947 with 87% on the ballot, Hubbell starred for the New York Giants where he averaged 23 wins a season in a leading role for the club's three pennant wins in a five-year span. He won two Most Valuable Player awards in those seasons, but is most known for his remarkable feat in the 1934 All-Star Game where he struck out Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin in succession.

i V' JL---'; 0 1 1 1 i Help Weber Get Brigham's Goat II WEBER-BRIGHAM WEBER LOSES TO SOUTH List Friday Weber's hoop artists journeyed to Hyrum with the inten-t.on of removing the horseshoe from the farmers' pockets, and revenging themselves for the defeat handed thorn the week previous. After indulging in a substantial meal of poached eggs on toast, "Male" led the crew over to the town hall where the battle was to be staged. Already spectators from all parts of the valley had their teams safely tied outside and were waiting impatiently for the fracas to start. After the ai rival of the town band it Mas decided to begin the contest. Jcnes knocked the ball to Schade i:; the first jump and passed it to Jep. Phil took a shot and scored the first basket. In the next play Jep passed the ball to Schade who came in the lime light by crawling from under his gluey guard and made a seeminly impossible basket. The crowd at this point became excited and stamped their boots upon the floor w'ifh such accents that the Hyrum center had to foul Jones to prevent a basket for Weber. Schade made a clear cut pitch and from then on until the end the northerners took matters in hand, the familiarity with their over-sized ( ?) hall as well as their greater ac-curacy in passing and basket shooting gave them the long end of the score at the end of the game, which ended 37 to 20. Weber was by no means outclassed and put up a hard fight until the final whistle. The lineup and summary follow: Wcter (20) South Cache (37) Jeppson rf S. Jensen Schade.. If Thompson Jones c Parkinson Ii. Lindsay rg . Clark Linford lg Baldwin Subs Weber, Newman; Hyrum, Bird. Field Goals Weber, Schade, 3; Jones, 3; Hyrum, Jensen, 6; Thompson, 5; Parkinson, 4. Foul goals Thompson, 7-10; Schade, 8-12. COUTH CACHE 29; WEBER, 17 Lid some one say state champion- ship? Our hopes for the state flag descended about fifty per cent Friday n'ght, Feb. 1, when for the first time in history the Weber team met defeat at the hands of the South Cache high school team to the tune of 29-17. One of the players from Hyrum must have picked up a horse shoe as ho was running to catch the train for Ogdon, because the farmers succeeded in getting Weber's goat in the first part of the fray, and they piled up such a large score that the local boys were unable to overcome the lead. Over-confidence had a whole lot to do with losing the game. The biggest part of the squad ceased training and were not fit for the contest. Let's not "bawl them out," however, as we are sure that the coach told 0(JDEN, CLASH TOMO DESPITE STRENUOUS WEEK, TEAM IN GOOD SHAPE Tomorrow night will witness the renewal of the usual rivalry between old foes. Weber is pitted against Boxeider High in a long anticipated game of basket ball, which will be staged on our own floor at eight "bells." Despite the fact that our team has played three games in the past six days and the last of these but one day past, our boys seem in the best o; condition. Brigham in former years has come to us undefeated, but this year Dame Fortune has failed to smile as radiantly as in former years. Even the team from North Cache, which we defeated last week, has the honor of trimming the boys from the "Peach City." Coach Watson materially strengthened his crew last week when he added Orla Shurtliff, Ellis Barker and Lee Davis to his lineup. When asked the purpose of the addition, the coach was reluctant to say and it is thought he is preparing to tender the students with a small surprise. The three new men have been prominent figures in almost every practice and class series games of the season. Brigham will be represented by practically the same team as last year P. Watkins, Cornia, Tingey, Lillywhite and G. Watkins. It is quite probable "Male" will start the game with the usual combination Jeppson, ' Schade, Jones, R. Lindsay and Linford. The colors of both schools are the same purple and white. Be sure to ,get with the right bunch and root, root, root Weber's purple and white on the top. A dance will follow the game. them a few things that woke them up. We learned a good lesson, so let's avoid over-confidence in the future. The game started with a big surprise for Weber. South Cache began piling up the score, and it was necessary for Watts to revise the lineup. "Shanty" took Ray Lindsay's place at guard; Jep replaced "Bones" at center, and Newman filled Jep's vacancy at forward. Weber held her own from then on. The first half ended 21-4. Weber came back strong the second half and made 13 points against 8 for South Cache. The final score was 29-17. The lineup and summary follow: Weber South Cache Jeppson If S. Jensen Schade rf R. jensen Jones c Parkinson 11. Lindsay rg Clark Linford If Baldwin Substitutes: Weber Newman, Center, C. Lindsay, Peterson; South Cache Bird, Thompson. Referee: Peterson. Summary: Jeppson, 4; Schade, 1; C. Lindsay, 1; S. Jensen, 6; R. Jensen, 3; Parkinson, 3; Baldwin, 1; Thompson. Fouls from free throws, Schade 5 out of S; S. Jensen 1 out of 2. Score: Weber, 17; South Cache, 2S. UTAH, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1918 RHOW N GHT DEFEATS RICH 25 22 After meeting defeat at the hands of Hyrum, Male's crew determined that they would return home with at least one piece of bacon. Arriving in Richmond, they found that the boys had already done their chores and that the fair co-eds had already been escorted to the scene of battle. Still believing their team invincible, a scream of laughter burst from the Richmondites when our combination of Jones and Schade stepped on to the floor. But he who laugns last laughs best. Right from the beginning our men found that they must contend with the feminine jeers, from the jump it was anyone's game, both sides alternating in scoring. The limited amount of playing space made the game rather rough, but Jep's gang held their own, the first half ending with Weber leading by two points. To show that they were still confident of winning, the entire student body formed in line and enjoyed a snake dance in which their band featured.When the whistle again blew, the Richmond five started out with a vim and Weber found herself slipping. The score gradually turned in Richmond's favor, until five minutes before the game ended, when it stood 22 to 12 in favor of North Cache. Then something happened that will never be forgotten by any person who witnessed the game. Jones threw a clean basket from the center of the floor. The Impossible took place. Lndsay duplicated Jones' stunt. Jep made two field baskets and Schade, not to be outdone, tossed in three field baskets and a foul, and thus in five minutes of play Richmond was defeated on her own floor for the first time this season, the score totalling 25 to 22 in Weber's favor. The summary of the game follows: Weber (25) Richmond (22) Jeppson rf Waddoups Schade If Talbot Jones c VanNoy R. Lindsay rg Skidmore Linford lg Bair Subs: Weber Peterson. Field goals Weber, Jeppson, 3; Schade, 4; Jones, 2; Lindsay, 1. Richmond, Waddoups, 3; Talbot, 1; Von Noy 3; Bair, 1. Foul goals, Schade, 5-9; Talbot, 6-9. FORMER STUDENTS ENLIST Former students of Weber still continue to manifest their patriotism to Weber and our country. Last Monday four cf these friends, three of whom were graduates, proved their loyalty to the Stars and Stripes, by enlisting in the Service Army of Uncle Sam. Angus Brown, '14; Arzon Marshall, '16; Dewey Holmes, '17; and Robert Ellis, '19, all enlisted on the same day. They left the same afternoon for respective training camps, being anxious to get into active service. Students of Weber vividly remember these active students and as they leave us we express ourselves as wishing them Good-speed and a safereturn. LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY FITTINGLY OBSERVED G. A. R. GUESTS OF HONOR AT PROGRAM Surpassing all other Devotional programs of the season the program of last Tuesday nearly swept the student body from its feet. Of course the occasion was Lincoln's birthday, but the spirit and tenor of the program was such a pleasing deviation from the custo-r.iary faculty entertainment that to tbe older students it brought back fond remembrances of old time celebrations and marked a milestone in the life of the "young ones." Bishop Ridges and Prof. Dixon, who arranged for the program, took especial pride in having all the G. A. R. veterans of the city present, for which they received the heartiest commendation of the student body. The same whole-souled spirit that has characterized the visits of these grand old men in the past prevailed. Enthusiasm, sacrifice and unquestioned devotion seemed to stand out in every visitor. The numbers on the program itself were representative cf Lut feel ing of all who either took part in entertaining or partook of the inspiration. Josephine Shorten's vocalization of "Camping on the Old Tent Ground," could hardly have been more appropriate or realistic. "The Flag Without a Stain" by Miss Agnes Warner also added enthusiasm to the occasion. It is useless to review the addresses of Capt. Hulanski and Slate Senator Joseph Chez, because they were so forcefully idealistic that we all can remember their messages. The committee, who arranged for the program, the Herald not knowing whether Prof. Dixon and Bishop Ridges are the only ones, are certainly to be congratulated. LYLES LARKIN WRITES PROF. JENSEN Prof. C. J. Jensen, Care Weber College, Ogden, Utah. Dear Bro. Jensen: No doubt my many friends at dear old Weber will have the opinion I did not appreciate the Christmas box sent by our dear Alma Mater, but not so. I am at present, as you will see, in the Base Hospital service, where I have been since Christmas. I am on duty from seven in the morning till seven in the evening, and as we are required to be in bed with lights out at nine o'clock, we only have two hours to write to our loved ones and to do any personal duties. I most certainly appreciated the Christmas box and must say the girls of Weber are some cooks. I am always glad to receive the Herald and occasionally run across the names of some of my friends. I would like very much to have my Herald sent in care of the Base Hospital, Camp Kearney, so I would not miss any. It is surely a credit to our school, and contains many snappy articles. I am proud to say that Utah leads the camp with regard to the small (Continued on page 4, Col. 4) No. 10 APOSTLE McKAY AD DRESSES STUDENTS HIS THEME THOTS ARE ACTIONS IN EMBRYO Weber was highly honored by the presence last week of Apostle David 0. McKay of our the Mormon church, and president of our school board. Apostle McKay visited a number of classes and gave a most timely and inspiring talk in devotional on Monday, Feb. 4. This is not the first time Apostle McKay has met with the students in devjiional nor have his talks been less forceful, 'but his talk was of such a pertinent nature and came at such an opportune time that his message reached every student present. In his talk he developed the theme that our actions of tomorrow are determined by our thots of today. He cited instances in his own life where small ihots and actions of his own had reaped a large harvest in years to come. He also showed how mis-judgments had been the cause of re-gr;t when proper understanding was restored. He finished his remarks with an admonition to both students and faculty to get closer together and work Harmoniously for theup-building of Weber; and that this was possible only when they understood each other. Visits, such as this one, from members of the board only tend to strenth-pu the confidence of the .students in the fact that the board has the interest, at heart, of the students. FACULTY IN "THE TANGLE" TEACHERS ALSO HAVE DRAMA FEVER Now that our stage is a reality, the. faculty are making an attempt to adjust to conditions and are soon going to surprise the student body with an outburst of dramatic ability in the form of a "tangle." Not only is the play to be a tangle, but "The Tangle." In proof of this statement we submit the following evidence. Prof. Kimball Young is to assume the role ol "Reverend." We hope he is successful. Then Profs. Dixon and McKay are to be the "devils" of the faculty thespians. Perhaps there is a little more chance for success here than in the case just mentioned someone suggests that in the case of Prof. Dixon, it might be true to (Continued on Page 4, Col. 3.)
