Skip to comments.Racial Preferences by the Numbers (black = +310 SAT, Hispanic +130, Asian -140)
Posted on 01/11/2010 3:00:44 PM PST by reaganaut1
Its hard to get a straight answer as to how pervasive racial preferences are. On the one hand, many academics say preferences hardly even exist theyre just a tie-breaker that admissions officers use on rare occasions. On the other hand, the same academics often say preferences are crucial to diversity, and their elimination would wreak havoc on campuses nationwide. Perhaps nowhere has this bizarre contradiction been on starker display than in No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal a book that manages, despite this contradiction, to shed light on various controversies in higher ed.
THE EXTENT OF PREFERENCES Using the National Study of College Experience (NSCE) a collection of information from eight anonymous elite colleges authors Thomas J. Espenshade and Alexandria Walton Radford are able to calculate various applicants odds of getting into a school. They discover some mildly interesting trends regarding social class (more on that later), but their results for race are truly stunning. After academic performance and demographic factors have been taken into account, black applicants are more than five times as likely as whites to be accepted at NSCE private schools, and 220 times as likely to be accepted at NSCE public schools. Asian applicants, meanwhile, are only about a third as likely as whites to get big envelopes from private institutions, and one-fifth as likely to gain admission to public ones.
Putting preferences in terms of test scores, at private schools, blacks get an advantage, compared to whites, worth 310 SAT points (out of 1600), Hispanics an advantage of 130, and Asians a disadvantage of 140. At public schools, the authors present the difference in ACT points: blacks 3.8 (out of 36), Hispanics 0.3, Asians 3.4.

The less you expect the less you are going to get...
The more you expect the more you are going to get...
Why liberals can't seem to fathom these simple "FACTS OF LIFE" and they are bonafide FACTS shows that very little was ever expected from them....
There was a missing "not" in my comment.
I thought so LOL
My son tried applying to colleges with his race checked off as Hispanic, perfectly acceptable since his mother is from Peru. We didn't see any benefit at all. Perhaps it's a combination of race and income that really gets the benefit.
And that policy should be retroactive 100 years and impose fines on all public universities that used race as a basis for admissions between 1910 and 1965.
310 points is a lot of points! That's the effective SAT boost that black applicants get over whites.
There's more—Asians are at a 140 point DISadvantage to whites. So, adding it up, Blacks get a 450 point SAT boost over Asians. And, this is while the SC has said that racial preferences are illegal.
As Orwell said, some animals are more equal than others.
I'm so glad BHO is the post-racial President. I'm turning blue holding my breath while I wait for him to fix this clear inequality.
Most institutions of "higher," Oops, I meant "liberal" learning are socialist when it comes to ideology (but not salary). George Orwell had already recognized that socialist ideologies mean "some are more equal than others."
I'll just tell all my white sons, "You've gotta work twice as hard and be twice as smart to get half as far. It's your skin color. They can't overlook it. It's your burden to bear in this unfair world."
You can't have a culture that opts for Ebonics, says that correcting students' grammar is "racist"(Florida), and has a low percentage of two-parent homes (so that the young join gangs
to find the missing family),
and expect that culture to produce a number of college graduates equivalent to that from, say, a proto-typical Asian culture, which stresses family and education.
So where's the surprise?
It has nothing to do with racism, and fighting "racism" won't fix the problem.
It has to do with fixing the culture; and in that, the minorities have been the architects of their own failures.
That form of speaking is used several times in a book I have from 1918. A lot of people think that it is modern, wasn't it very popular in the 1990s?
Those 130 points turn a Latina into a wise Latina apparently.
Diversity is nothing but Anti-White Racism....and I guess in the case of education...Anti-Asian Racism
I would be curious to find out if people with Jewish surnames are treated like Asians.
Mrs. Jewbacca applied to several graduate programs of equivalent selectivity.
Her maiden name is decidedly "Jewish." My sur-name is rather amazingly generic French.
Mid-application process we married.
She was rejected to all (a sample of 3) where she used he maiden name and accepted to all (a sample of 4) where she used her married name.
All comprable schools; filled out within three weeks of another.
Coincidence, perhaps. But we always wondered.
It is also interesting to look at the home life these kids come from. Typically, in Asian homes, discipline for poor grades comes if the kid gets less than an "A." In white homes, the acceptable grade is a "B." In black homes, it is a "C."
As one poster stated, it's about expectations. And it all starts at home.
That is pretty vague. What kind of Blacks are we talking about here? Light skinned or dark skinned? With Negro accents or without? Would Obama get 155 point advantage because he is only 50% Black? What about an African American Albino?
The government needs to pinpoint these inconsistancies.
And here in San Francisco government funds can be used to turn a Latino into a Latina.
They pay for it in sublte ways...
A black guy I knew went to a black doctor. He was pretty sick, but this black doctor was like a supermarket butcher...
Must have gotten into med school under affirmative action. Not sure if he knew an eye from an ear.
Maybe the Hispanic advantage only works if the surname looks Hispanic.
You have to have the surname.
Only Hipanics with Hispanic daddies get the benefit.
One thing this should tell people is the following:
When selecting a doctor to cut you open for surgery, your preference should be the following (assuming no other data, like referrals, is available):
1) Asian
2) White
3) Hispanic
4) Black
Of course it's possible that that a particular black surgeon could run circles around a peer group of whites and Asians - but it is not probable. And you sure as heck know that neither the Asians nor the Whites got ANY help in getting through medical school...instead they EARNED their licenses.
And this is a major factor when I select a doctor. My first choice is Jewish (Archie Bunker taught me that when he looked for a lawyer), then Asian (including Indian), then White.
As more people figure stuff like this out, more people will make choices based on the similar criteria to myself...something that the Democrats well understand and, to me, a big reason why they want to take over health care (i.e., so that their friends who snagged medical licenses can get some work - once choice of doctors is gone).
Sorry if I offend anyone, but it was not my idea to NOT have a colorblind society.
It is a combination of race, whether or not either of your parents graduated from college, income and most important is the essay. They advise minority students to write an essay about how they over came some kind of adversity due to race. The essay is the most important factor.
ah, once again , Affirmative action and political correctness rears its ugly head to support America's demise. So hard work and excellence takes a back seat to skin color, all for the sake of "diversity". Now take a look at nations such as China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore. They would skoff at such preferences, instead their cultures are based on rewarding excellence, and only the best of the best get into the best universities and get the highest paying jobs.
They reward excellence. We strive for mediocrity, but all for diversity! who do you suppose will succeed best in the long run in technological advances and the world economy? How is America going to compete with our goal of mediocrity?
Lets see. "Liberals" will stand up for the Constitutional "right" of a communist to burn the flag, the "right" of one atheist to ban Christmas from public life, the "right" of same sex marriage, then support the State denying the rights of millions of Americans equal protection under the law because of their race.
Go figure.
It is obvious.
"Liberals" are morally bankrupt scum that are lower than whale poop at the bottom of the ocean.
... if officials stopped considering race, they predict, minority enrollment would decline precipitously. If NSCE private schools eliminated both the black/Hispanic advantage and the Asian disadvantage, blacks would go from 8 to 3 percent of these colleges admittances, Hispanics from 8 to 5 percent, whites from 60 to 53 percent, and Asians from 24 to 39 percent.Pretty amazing, if true.
I can't wait to see the rich being forced to be treated by the "poor". Busing to dumb college grads who voted for Obambi anyone?
Therein lies the real problem.
We can let the unqualified in upper-tier schools, and by the time they have reached college, the damage to the really bright students is minimal. But, you can't make the unqualified any smarter.
Best of all, really bright people are very good at assessing the intelligence of their peers. Affirmative action may gain someone a degree and a job, but when his peers understand the sham, he becomes sidetracked.
If I were Asian I'd be pissed. Hmmm, I smell an opening in this reverse discrimination scenario...
The left will tell you that all the cultural problems are the _results_ of racism. That's completely bogus, of course. Most "discrimination" and "racism" that blacks experience is DUE TO their culture, not the CAUSE OF their culture.

~ Mr. Intense!
Jaeger is a German Shepherd who came to Healing HEART Sanctuary in April 2013 at five months old. Jaeger had been paralyzed as a young pup while playing with his siblings. With a veterinarian's help, Jaeger learned to walk again. Then he had a growth spurt and couldn't figure how to maneuver his newly sized body. Just when he would figure out how to walk again, he would grow and then be down again. His spine begin to twist each time he was down until he figured out how to walk again, (when it would straighten out?). Just before his largest growth spurt, his owner had double carpel tunnel surgery on both wrists. She was not allowed to pick up anything over 5 lbs. Jaeger went down for longer than ever before because she could not help him up. That's when she called us. Learn More (by clicking here)

When Legionnaires' disease burst on the clinical scene in mid-1976, the question was: What kind of infection is this? Today, the question is more likely to be: Is this particular pneumonia Legionnnaires' disease?
Help in answering that question is coming from several sources.
At the American Society for Microbiology's recent conference on diagnostic immunology in Atlanta, for example, Gary L. Lattimer, MD, and Luther V. Rhodes III, MD, of Allentown, Pa, and R. A. Ormsbee, PhD, and M. G. Peacock, PhD, of the Rocky Mountain Laboratory (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) underlined the problem by emphasizing that Legionnaires' disease and psittacosis can be confused.
"This consideration is significant," Dr Lattimer emphasized, "because of the mortality associated with inappropriate therapy for either of these two disease entities."
At the same time, the Pennsylvania and (Hamilton) Montana investigators suggested a diagnostic aid: IgM rather than IgG. Their conclusion is based

U.S. policy pushes Cuba into the arms of our adversaries
Published: Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 31, 2011 at 5:15 p.m.
News last week that French telecom giant Alcatel-Lucent SA has begun laying a 1,000-mile, underwater fiber-optic cable between Venezuela and Cuba is the latest evidence of how U.S. sanctions toward Cuba undermine U.S. national interests, push the communist island into the open arms of our adversaries and continue Cuban citizens' dependence on the regime. By focusing solely on isolating the Cuban government and denying it resources, the United States has, ironically, only isolated itself from the realities at play inside Cuba and alienated its allies. Unfortunately, legislation proposed by Florida U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan only continues this counterproductive pattern and, in this case, puts Florida's industry and environment at greater risk.
Despite positive steps taken by the Obama administration, this problem continues, as illustrated by the fiber-optic cable now being laid between Venezuela and Cuba. In April 2009, President Obama announced changes to U.S. sanction programs toward Cuba, designed to increase the free flow of information to the Cuban people and expand communication links between the two countries. The measures were much-needed steps in the right direction. The new rules expanding family travel and remittances have already proved an invaluable tool in facilitating needed processes of national reconciliation, reducing Cubans' dependence on the regime, building good will with allies in the region and, most important, empowering Cuba's civil society.
Unfortunately however, the changes to telecommunication sanctions fell short of the president's stated goals. A report issued in July 2010 by the Cuba Study Group, in collaboration with the Council of the Americas and the Brookings Institution, detailed the reasons why the April 2009 changes to Cuba telecom sanctions must be clarified and expanded, and it laid out specific recommendations for doing so.
Today, approximately a year and a half after the White House announced changes intended to allow U.S. telecom companies to enter into agreements with Cuban entities, not a single agreement has been made.
The slow grind of U.S. bureaucratic review of Miami-based TeleCuba's request for permission to lay a fiber-optic cable to Cuba cost it (and the United States) the opportunity and sent Cuban officials shopping for more convenient partners. They found them in Alcatel-Lucent SA and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. So, while Chavez works to limit Internet freedoms in Venezuela, U.S. sanctions have kept American companies from beating the autocratic leader to the punch.
Buchanan's misguided bill
Now, some U.S. lawmakers want to continue this counterproductive behavior by forcing reputable oil companies out of Cuba. Last week, Buchanan introduced a bill in the House that would authorize the U.S. Interior secretary to deny leases to firms that do business with any nation currently facing U.S. trade sanctions. Buchanan sites the potential threats to Florida's tourism industry and environment as his motivation.
If passed, the legislation would let the secretary of the Interior to deny leases to Spanish energy giant Repsol and Norway's Statoil, which are leading a consortium of international oil companies looking to drill for oil in Cuban waters. Just as in the case of the fiber-optic cable now being laid from Venezuela, Buchanan's proposed legislation would punish reputable firms such as Repsol, forcing Cuban leaders into agreements with parties with questionable reputations and safety records.
In essence, Buchanan's noble efforts to protect Florida's coastlines by sanctioning reputable firms investing in Cuban waters will actually result in greater risks for the state's natural resources. In contrast, a bipartisan commission set up by Obama following the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which was co-chaired by former Sen. Bob Graham, recommended to a Senate Energy Committee hearing last week that the United States work with Cuba and Mexico to reach an agreement on tougher offshore oil drilling standards. The report recommended: "The U.S. objectives should be to prevent drilling by companies unwilling or unprepared to meet the high safety standards essential to extracting oil and gas resources responsibly and to have a verification process to ensure compliance."
U.S. lawmakers should learn from the missed opportunity illustrated by the fiber-optic cable now en route from Venezuela to Cuba, and refocus U.S. policy from one that pushes Cuban leaders into the arms of the likes of Chavez and firms with questionable practices toward one that protects U.S. interests and puts it in a position to influence events inside the island.
Tomas Bilbao is executive director of the Cuba Study Group. Previously, he served in the successful campaign of Mel Martinez for U.S. Senate. From 2001 to 2003, Bilbao served in the administration of George W. Bush as deputy director of operations at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and as personal aide to Secretary Mel Martinez.

In a recent issue of The Journal, Hindhede7 of Copenhagen discussed the effects of the food restrictions that were imposed on the Danish people as a result of the blockade existing during the latter years of the war. Despite the fact that Denmark was a noncombatant neutral nation, the interference with the international transfer of food, brought about by the food administrations of the allied governments and the shipping situation, prevented the importation of the usual quota of bread cereals and of the large amounts of cattle feeds that had been used before the war to maintain the stock of domestic animals used directly as food or kept to supply dairy products. Although the situation was somewhat similar in Germany, it would appear that the outcome of the shortage was far more serious in the latter country than in Denmark. The greater success attained in Denmark in maintaining the

So I was skeptical about getting this one but I eventually caved in after I read a bit of it in a bookstore. This isn't a typical making-of book where the author tells you step by step how the fim was created. Instead we get many short essays from the creators of the film themselves telling their experiences on making Lilo & Stitch. It's a terrific idea that reminds us of the human element in creating a film. Even better, the essays seem genuine and give us little insights into the mind of the individual creator as well as the Disney corporation. Generous amouns of pre-production art is sprinkled throughout the book and I'm going to buy a second copy to frame a few of them.
If you have any interest in Disney, animation in general or Lilo & Stitch you will definitely get something worthwile out of this book. I'm actually axiously looking forward to the next making-of book from Disney again! Life is good.
But not this book. I purchased this book because I'm one of the biggest fans of the movie Lilo and Stitch, which In my opinion is the best movie Disney has made for a long time. And Stitch is by far my favourite animated character, of any film, ever. Just thinking about him brings a smile to my face. I wanted this book to see the development of Stitch over the years, and ended up getting more than I bargained for.
The very first page of this book opens you up to stunningly beautiful watercolour backgrounds, some from the movie, some entirely new. And as you read along, text is interwoven with the backgrounds like it is truly part of the picture, making for a beautiful book. But it's the content that counts, and here this book excells. This book is a collection of stories by people who were involved with the creation of the film. And every story hits a very personal note. You peer inside the very lives of the people who helped to make Lilo & Stitch a reality, and indeed get to know their very thoughts and feelings. Chris Sanders, in describing how Stitch came to life, is especially humourous, sometimes going on to tell about childhood embarassments that may or may not be related to the movie, but provide for some very good entertainment, again on a very personal level.
All the creators of this film seem to carry an undeniable love for the characters they have created, and a respect and love for the Hawaiian culture and environment as well. They all were movitated people who had a clear goal in mind: to make the most out of Lilo and Stitch, and bring some nostalgia back as well.Read more ›
The book is comprised of a bunch of concept art, and art-in-progress from the development of the movie, as well as personal stories of the concept and movie's creation, told by the people who went through the process. There's a genuine sense of love for the characters that's prevalent throughout the book, and the theme of simplicity, and a personal connection with the audience pervades the entire structure of this book.
From Chris Sanders' first drawing of Stitch, to some really zany sketches for products based on the likeness of Dean deBlois, there's lots of stuff that's both interesting because of its relation to the movie, and interesting because it's so ... off the wall.
If you loved the movie, as I did, there's almost no chance that you won't find this book insightful, and entertaining.

The staff was efficient but curt. My only real complaint was the complementary internet was quite slow during the high use times of the day.

Not a good HiltonPosted Apr 28, 2016 on Hotels
When you stay at a Hilton you expect a certain type of hotel different than a Super 8 or comfort inn. This one failed in several areas. Wifi was next to worthless, Key wouldn't work several times and had to go back to lobby to get it rekeyed. The breakfast you had to pay for and it was not good, slow bad food. We were with the rowing team and meals were supplied by the Hotel and the ladies had to eat in basement that smelled like someone cleaning fish. The chicken was like rubber and the vegetables were soggy and almost inedible. They ended up getting other food somewhere else. Bed was ok duvet was about worn out

HILTON GARDEN INN IS 1ST RATEPosted Apr 26, 2016 on Hotels
Came in for the night after a long work week with a friend. Checked in, unloaded our bags and went out on the town. The front desk called us a cab and gave us a number to call once our adventures were over. We woke the next morning to head out to the golf course and I was very pleased. Nothing like coming to a hotel and have them take care of all your needs!

County had no voice in firestorm meetings
Officials want seat on mutual-aid panel
March 12, 2008
When firestorms burned across Southern California in October 2003, representatives from 10 agencies gathered in Riverside County to determine the severity of each blaze and send extra firefighters, engines, bulldozers and aircraft to the front lines.
No one from San Diego County was invited to the meetings, and little had changed by October 2007, when wildfires scorched the region. A Cal Fire unit chief was sent to represent the county's fire agencies, but he arrived a day late.
By then, many of the resources had been allocated, said Bill Metcalf, the county fire coordinator and chief of the North County Fire Protection District. "We cobbled together a system that worked, but it wasn't ideal," he said.
Although no county lost more homes or lives during those firestorms than San Diego, local fire officials have been shut out of the mutual-aid meetings mostly because the region doesn't have a central fire department.
Cal Fire coordinates firefighting throughout the county during most major wildfires and represents local fire departments at emergency meetings held by the Southern California Multi-Agency Coordination Group.
San Diego-area fire officials were left out of a follow-up meeting the MAC group held last month.
The oversights have galvanized city and county leaders and increased criticism of Cal Fire. Before the 2007 wildfires were extinguished, the agency came under scrutiny for its decisions to ban night flying and to ground military helicopters because there weren't enough spotters to help pilots position water drops.
"One of the things we need to address right away is our representation at these meetings, because if we depend on Cal Fire to do this, we're going to continue to have a problem," San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders said at a recent meeting of the wildfire reform committee. Sanders is co-chairman of the panel with county Supervisor Ron Roberts.
Next month, Metcalf and San Diego Fire Chief Tracy Jarman plan to ask MAC's supervisory board for a seat at the emergency mutual-aid meetings. Metcalf said they aren't asking to become the 11th member of the group because that would require the county to have a regional fire agency.
The 2003 wildfires killed 17 people and destroyed 2,500 homes in San Diego County. In 2007, 10 people died and 1,700 homes were destroyed in the county.
Southern California MAC's emergency resource allocation meetings are held in Riverside and are attended by representatives of 10 member agencies: the U.S. Forest Service; U.S. Bureau of Land Management; Cal Fire; the state Office of Emergency Services; the Los Angeles Fire Department; and the fire departments of Kern, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Orange counties.
The Office of Emergency Services organizes the meetings, said OES Deputy Chief Tom Drayer, who ran the sessions in October.
Jarman said she feels that San Diego County has been an afterthought in the meeting room, where maps hang for each county that has permanent MAC members.
"L.A. County and L.A. city both have a map. There's nothing for San Diego," she said. "We need to have a local voice at the table assertively vying for fire assets."
Drayer said "aircraft, 'dozers and everything else was sent to San Diego" last year and in 2003, even though the county wasn't represented as well as neighboring counties.
"The reason why San Diego didn't get the resources they felt they needed (last year) is because we had 22 major fires burning over a few days," Drayer said. "And some of it has to do with timing. Their fires started a little later than everyone else's, so some of the resources were already allocated."
Jarman and other San Diego County fire chiefs have said their crews were on their own for at least the first 48 hours during the last two firestorms.
In October, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department didn't receive any air or ground support from the MAC group, said Brian Fennessy, San Diego's deputy chief.
The first Southern California MAC meeting during the 2007 wildfires was Oct. 22, when the San Diego County fires were entering their second day. One person had died, and hundreds of houses burned unchecked as local firefighters pleaded for help.
At 6 a.m., Drayer called Metcalf and Chuck Maner, an assistant regional chief for Cal Fire overseeing operations in San Diego County, and told them to send someone to Riverside. The meeting would start in two hours.
No one would formally represent San Diego County at the daylong session.
More than 12 hours after Drayer's call, at 8:11 p.m., the first official step was taken to fill the county's seat: Cal Fire put in a request for a unit chief, according to dispatch logs. At 4:43 a.m., the logs indicate, the order was assigned to Brad Harris, Cal Fire's unit chief for Nevada, Yuba and Placer counties.
Harris, who had been deployed to San Diego County after the fires started, drove from San Diego to Riverside to attend the meetings and arrived at 8 a.m. Oct. 23, the dispatch logs show.
"Chief Harris was engaged in the discussions . . . he provided good intelligence back and forth on what was happening in San Diego and with the MAC group," said Drayer, the OES deputy chief.
Harris did not return phone calls for this story.
Cal Fire Staff Chief Bob Green, who oversees southern operations, represented Cal Fire at the meetings in Riverside. He also filled in for Harris until he arrived, Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said.
OES Chief Kim Zagaris said Harris, who is based more than 500 miles from San Diego in Auburn, was selected because "there weren't a lot of senior (Cal Fire) staff in San Diego to go around and meet the needs.
"No one agency is equipped to handle some of the fire sieges we deal with. . . . We do the best job we can trying to keep people out of harm's way and protect their property."
Thomas Kaa, whose Rancho Bernardo home was destroyed during last year's fires, doesn't understand why someone who lives and works so far away represented the region.
"That is a source of frustration," Kaa said. "Why wouldn't they send someone from our backyard, who knows our situation, to represent us?"
The MAC membership hasn't changed since the group was formed in the 1970s. Zagaris said he's unsure why San Diego wasn't included.
"All I can say is you don't have one agency that represents that area – you have what, 60 agencies?" Zagaris said. "You don't have any real regional capability down there."
Jarman thinks San Diego County has been excluded from the MAC because it has 65 fire departments serving 18 cities and rural areas. Over the years, turf battles, money concerns and a lack of political will have thwarted efforts to form a central fire agency.
Jarman and Metcalf, the county fire coordinator, weren't invited to a meeting the MAC group held last month to review wildfire response until Zagaris realized the morning of the meeting that no one was representing San Diego County. Cal Fire's Harris had been invited to represent the county, but he couldn't make the seven-hour drive.
Jarman and Metcalf were called, but they couldn't make the meeting on such short notice.
"The intent wasn't to exclude San Diego," Drayer said. "The intent was to gather members of October's MAC group so we could evaluate and improve the process."
Pending official approval, Drayer and Zagaris have assured local fire officials that they would have a representative at future emergency MAC meetings.
"I agree that things could be stronger down there," Zagaris said. "But we are talking, and that's the good news."

Hello Roger. Thanks for the bid. As you saw I am new to this process, in the military and moving across the country. I did have a shipper who my friends have used recently but he may not be available for my timeframe. He had moved similar boats for my friends for around $2400. Could you go lower for this trip or is the $2800 your bottom line? I apologize for being forward but I selected the bid request price just based on the uship recommendation. I would really like to work with you on this as your feedback is excellent. Hope to talk to you soon.
Hi Matthew. I didn't realize you were military, I am an Air Force Veteran myself. If you go to Uships military page and scroll to the bottom on the right side you will see they did a story on my business recently. Not sure when your friends had they're boats moved, probably before fuel prices went up the way they have. Can we meet near the middle at 2600.? If so you will need to change your offer price to that amount . Once that's done I'll accept the offer and then you accept and Uship will give us each other's contact info. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm on the road in NC but I'll respond quickly. I look forward to working with you also
Roger, $2600 sounds like a plan to me. I will decline the current bid and put a new one out for 2600. I will not accept a bid from anyone until I hear from you. Thanks a ton.

Is there a way to get the value of an annotation in server side code? For example, I have:
public class Dummy
[Display(Name = "Foo")]
public string foo { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Bar")]
public string bar { get; set; }
I want to be able to get the value "Foo" on server side with out posting it back to the page, but like an attribute of the class, or something of the sort. Like a @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Foo) But in c# server code.
Is that possible?
Thank you.
