Vickers retiring after 42 years with VSAC
WINOOSKI Donald Vickers has some important plans for the future.
I have a chicken coop thats falling down, a garden to tend to, and I will have to unplug my alarm clock, said Vickers, who is retiring after serving 23 years as president and chief executive officer and more than four decades with the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation.
When Vickers joined VSAC as director of the state grant program in 1971, he was one of four employees. Under his leadership, VSAC grew to 400 employees, until 2010 when the U.S. government restructured how it administers federal loans. For VSAC, whose budget came from administration fees, the shift was painful.
Im a growth kind of guy and I wasnt sure I was the right guy for the job, Vickers recalled of the time when, after two decades of steady expansion, he had to lay off 130 employees. What happened during that difficult spot made things difficult for Vermont families.
Before 2010, VSAC was a one-stop shop, where prospective students could learn about grants and loans, but the conversation would begin with the most basic of questions: What do you want to do?
Its an important question, because a loss of interest can lead to not finishing college, leaving students with high debt loads and an inability to pay them off, Vickers said.
VSAC also discusses loan options, and the reality a student will face upon graduation when its repayment time, through financial aid nights at most high schools.
VSAC also communicates its message though media used by todays teens: social media and websites such as www.startwhereyouarevt.org, which is aimed at current students grades seven through 12 and is intended to help them make an informed decision about what they want to study and how much it will cost.
Now, most students dont find out about the terms of their federal loans until right before you enroll, Vickers said.
While a career decision can be daunting and the loan amounts terrifying to youths and their families, the prospect is more attractive than not getting an education, Vickers noted.
According to 2011 statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for a college graduate is 4.9 percent, compared to 9.4 percent for a high school graduate and 14.1 for a dropout.
Vickers will leave VSAC on June 30, but before he goes he will be honored in March during a ceremony in Boston as he receives the Eleanor M. McMahon Award for Lifetime Achievement from the New England Board of Higher Education.

Spanggur Gap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Spanggur Gap
|India / China
|33°34′23″N 78°46′48″E / 33.573°N 78.78°ECoordinates: 33°34′23″N 78°46′48″E / 33.573°N 78.78°E
The Spanggur Gap is a mountain pass on the Line of Actual Control. It is a gap in the mountains to the south of the Pangong Lake. To the east of the gap is the Spanggur Lake.
According to Indian sources, India was in control of the Spanggur Gap during the war of 1962 and there were Indian posts there,[1][2] but it was taken over by the Chinese army during the Sino-Indian War as the Indian army withdrew in order to bolster defences of the nearby Indian village of Chushul.[3][4]

Ratings & Reviews
5 Reviews for La Privada at Scottsdale Ranch
Sort by:
I love the overall vibration and attitude of the staff and grounds.
The grounds are well cared for, the amenities are nice, and the management staff is excellent.
The attention to detail needs to be improved. When I moved in I was told there were no gate fobs to open the gate after hours. Why would there not be any? Also, maintenance seems to work at their own schedule. Lights are outin ouside areas around my place. Why
Staff is very inconsistent with leasing information eg costs, requirements to transfer or end lease etc. Also, I have to be very proactive because I hardly get responses back on questions I have about my lease or on maintenance issues.
The office staff does not respond well to tenants they don't follow through with requests or valid complaints; i.e. tenants leaving garbage in the garage area and not picking it up. Amplifying Music at 12, 2am. Loud drunken parties at the main pool area until 1, 2 am. Was told this was OK because it was one of the staff?? Tenants children above apt jumping so hard it makes the light and fan jump in below apt. Cigarette smoke smell from above apt seeping into apt below.
What is a Certified Resident?
A resident who lives at the property and has completed a resident satisfaction survey.
Advertising properties provide a list of email addresses of its residents to Kingsley Associates, a third party market research firm, who then sends out the satisfaction survey to the residents. Properties may also conduct satisfaction surveys of its residents through other third party market research firms. In those cases, we will publish those survey responses as long as the questions conform to our standard survey format.
Because reviews are from Certified Residents, and are managed by a third party, you can feel confident that the feedback provided is accurate and trustworthy.
General Directions
From 101, exit northeast on 90th Street. Turn right at Via Linda and La Privada will be two miles down on the right just past AJ's shopping center.

The problem is the lack of guns in the hands of responsible sane people. In Israel there are guards toting machine guns in every mall and school. This sort of gun violence would be next to impossible.
Switzerland is a good example of responsible gun use. Everyone who has served in the military is required to have one.
It's time to face the facts. Liberals have allowed the demons in with their libertine anti-God philosophies. The sea change occurred in 1962 when they banned God from the schools, hiding behind the lie of the separation of church and state. Thereafter all the negative social statistics started to spike.
Back in those days they actually had gun ranges in school and there was a much larger gun culture. Guess what, there were far fewer mass murders of this type. So the problem is not guns, the problem is a lack of morals and a lack of God. I blame the leftists, dumbocrats and liberals for falling into the trap created by our satanic overlords.
Oh Bullshit! It's you gun loving fuck heads who allow any mental head case mofo to have a gun; just to protect your own precious rights. Just start saying no to the pill poppers and crazies. You know not "everyone" should be allowed to do "everything"...Now take that from a so called libtard you asswipe.
Ah, really no point in saying anything with a tard like you anyhow. The subject of gun ownership is clearly above your pay grade.
Anonymous Coward 5141990
The same people that want your guns also want at least 90 percent depopulation of the planet - and that's public record if you take the time to actually investigate. Bill Gates said on Ted presentation he wants your ass dead. What are your odds that you are going to be in the 5-10 percent that is allowed to live? I don't know but it is probably not in your favor. I do know this. Your chances of surviving these killers when they finally decide to slab you falls drastically once you are disarmed. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Anonymous Coward 29158753
Who is disarmed? You tards make so many jackass asumptions and enemies along the way. Good thing conservatives are still conservatives regardless of who butters our bread; I guess we just know how to play the game better to get all the toys.
Are you stupid? All I stated was that nut jobs should not be entitled to have guns. If you choose to share your guns and space with wackadoodles you can have at it. I'd rather waste my bullets for the real pricks...you know the ones you reference above. And do you seriously think they will use guns to kill us aka thin the herd? No the guns will be needed to kill the wackadoodles I refer to that will go nuts when tshtf fer reel. Think.

"I think the way we play is the way we were built, and if we had to make all these guys into checkers and play a trap game, I think it would have been a pretty boring team to watch, and we wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful as we were."
Sounds like an indictment of old-fashioned Hitch hockey.
Since: Dec 08
Edmonton, Canada
#2 Apr 30, 2010
The quote is from the Caps coach who's team, quite frankly, wasn't all that successful playing a run-and-gun style of game. Hitch had to try and make a silk purse out of a sow's ear in Columbus.
#3 May 1, 2010
I didn't mean the quote was necessarily an indictment of Hitch himself. I meant the pre-lockout neutral zone trap which has been sold to the people of Columbus as "Hitch hockey."
Now that you mention it though, it is an indictment of Hitch in a way because, while Hitch didn't have the level of talent that Washington does as you mention, he did try and fit players into a system instead of building/using a system that fit his players which is not the way to run a team for success according to the quote. I don't however think Boudreau was specifically calling out Hitch, but we can apply what he said to our own situation here.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes
Supernova Surprise: Black Holes May Pull Apart, Reignite White Dwarf Stars
Submitted by strike on Fri, 2008-02-01 17:00
?A strange and violent fate awaits a white dwarf star that wanders too close to a moderately massive black hole. According to a new study, the black hole's gravitational pull on the white dwarf would cause tidal forces sufficient to disrupt the stellar remnant and reignite nuclear burning in it, giving rise to a supernova explosion with an unusual appearance.?

Sounds harmless enough.
Name: Alex
Sex: Male
Location: Currently in Boston, MA for school, but my heart is still back at home in Maplewood, MN (near St. Paul).
Marital Status: Single
Age: 22
Religion: Christian, Protestant I guess, but I don't think it's really important whether you're Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox. I think it's rather unfortunate that politics and personal rivalries have made such divisions, but I think most people are able to get past these differences most of the time.
Drink/Smoke: Can't stand the taste of alcoholic drinks and I find smoking repulsive.
Likes: Music, music, and music. I may be on an anime forum, but I spend way more money and time on music than on anime. I mostly shop for used CDs since they're cheaper although I guess that doesn't support the artists. But most of the bands are broken up or something anyway. I still buy new CDs frequently, though. More often newer releases by bands that still exist. These three links should be able to give you a good idea about my taste in music if you explore them thoroughly enough. I also like to be very precise and over-analyze things. Well, maybe it's not so much something that I like as it's just something that I do. See? I'm being precise! I think this is why most of my recent posts have just been correcting factual errors. I like reading sci-fi and fantasy novels too I guess.
Dislikes: Bad music. I won't be any more specific so we don't need to start any ugly arguments or debates. Also, seafood.
Favorite anime: Full Metal Panic! & sequels
Favorite game: I'm not really much of a gamer. I tend to prefer real-time strategy Japanese style RPGs.
Fun facts about one3rd: Fun facts? I'm not so sure if there are any. I played in a band, now broken up, for about a year called Arsenal Of Venice. I don't feel bad about plugging it since the band is broken up! I left the band so I could attend music school in Boston and I should be done in December.
Pictures: I don't really have many pictures of myself. Here's one of me that looks like a disembodied head. I suppose it's fairly obvious that the picture was altered with some photo editing software.

I love to cook and can make almost any kind of dish from any country.
I would love to one day learn Gaelic and Latin.
I plan to travel to a new spot around the world every 3 years once I turn 30. I wanna see the world (or what's left of it at that point).
I am an avid anime figure collector. Mostly resin and PVC models. My collection has expanded over the years to the point of needing it's own room.
Photos: So the old photo of me is no more. This one however is from a week ago at my friends wedding, I'm the second on the left. The one who looks like Mario Batali.
edit--- So after several years I figured it was time for an update.

Video Games: don't play much based on not having the time to do so, but I like RPG and puzzle video games and am a PS/PS2/PSP devotee (have never owned game systems other than Sony ones). Favorite game: FFVI. Next game: expecting to get Legend of Heroes III for PSP which will possibly make up the extent of my future gaming time. Also likes Blizzard PC games (but then again don't have time).
Favorite Foods I: Mexican, used to be Italian and Japanese food has always been a close 2nd or 3rd. I am another person who really likes chicken (most favorite meat), but I also love crab and most other seafood/fish. Plus I very much dislike beef and can't stand canned tuna. If it's fresh baked or smoked tuna it's fine but for some reason canned tuna I find repulsive.
Favorite Foods II: Sushi, orange juice, and tends to enjoy food best plain with few addons like toast and butter, cheese pizza, ham and cheese sandwiches, coffee black or with a little milk.
Things I dislike about myself: Tend to not respond or interact well with authority. That's pretty much why I have the job I have right now, I get to be a real slacker but I also have a good work ethic as long as I don't have to deal with actually reporting to a "boss" on an hourly basis.
Things I like about myself: Usually very forgiving of people who treat me bad, and end up making good friendships with people I originally started out hating.
Not so interesting or fun facts about Past: Originally from Hawaii, have lived all over the U.S. and got a degree in Environmental Biology from SUNY in New York. Although I have been to Japan and love Japanese culture I would have to say my favorite country is Spain and fell in love with it after visiting, and plan to someday live there.
Maybe interesting fact about Past: has a relatively high tolerance to heat and natural toxins, poisons, etc.
Sorry no photos of Past (coming soon maybe...)

Location: Vancouver
I'll play!
Name: kolibri
Gender: Female
Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada
Marital status: married
Religion: Agnostic/Yogi
Drink/Smoke: Neither. I drink a glass of champagne at new year's, but I hate cigarette smoke. I can make a fool of myself perfectly sober, as you all know.
Favorite music: I listen to pretty much everything, except Country & Western (so sue me). At the moment I'm going through a big J-Rock phase.
Favorite sports: Don't watch any. Can't avoid ice hockey here though.
Favorite games: Don't play videogames, but I like board games - Puerto Rico is probably my biggest favorite right now. Also Carcassonne, Chez Geek and Settlers of Stone Age are other regulars.
Favorite anime: Naruto, Planetes, Princess Tutu, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fullmetal Alchemist (in no particular order)
Favorite manga: D. Gray-Man, Loveless, Banana Fish, Monster, Naruto, Bleach, Antique Bakery, NANA (in no particular order)
Likes: Friends, hanging out with them and chatting about nothing and everything. Yoga, the spiritual and physical calmness it brings me. Cosplay and cons, meeting new people and being amongst fellow geeks.
Dislikes: Stupidity. Ignorance. Unwillingness to learn. Spoilers. Seriously, you know those.
Fun facts about kolibri: Although I'm a complete geek, work in an office and code for living, I'm also a qualified yoga teacher and I teach yoga and meditation part time. So maybe that fact is not too fun, but maybe it's interesting? Also even though I live in Canada I'm not Canadian - I'm actually originally from Finland, although I haven't lived there for ten years. Was that fun? No? Well, how about this - kolibri means "humming bird" in several languages, including Finnish. It's a nickname my hubby gave me because I'm "small and briliant" - aww? I'll shut up now.
Ooh, look photos:
Yes, Delta, summer comes to Canada too.
Blond? I can do blond!
And a mandatory yoga photo

The Asterisk War GN 1
The Asterisk War's manga adaptation makes a perfectly serviceable debut, even if this magic high school adventure is nothing unique. Rebecca Silverman takes a look. ― If you've ever read or watched a Magic High School story before, you'll immediately be able to draw parallels to The Asterisk War. That's not because the manga adaptation of Yuu Miyazaki's light novel series isn't good, but rather becau...

Whe Shoji Kawamori gets creative, the results can be spectacular - and controversial!

Kagerou Daze Novel 4
Kagerou Daze is slowly improving as a series, but it continues to suffer from less than stellar writing and unlikable characters. Rebecca Silverman breaks down this twisted story. ― Kagerou Daze has the dubious distinction of being one of the most difficult light novels currently being published in English to follow. In part, this is due to the dense language of the first two books, although that tha...
The X Button - Signing Off
It's the final X Button, and Todd retires the column with a rundown of his lesser-known favorites! Plus Sonic Mania, Lady Layton, and Nintendo rumors! ― Here it is, readers: the last installment of The X Button. Next month will see another video-game column take its place, with the talented Dustin Bailey (that's Dustin, not Justin) at its helm. I thought hard about how best to close this little attr...
Liselotte & Witch's Forest GN 1
This fantasy romance from Fruits Basket creator Natsuki Takaya weaves a magical blend of sweetness and melancholy, but can it stand apart from her previous work? Rebecca Silverman takes a look. ― Despite several of her other works being translated and released in English, Natsuki Takaya remains best known for her series Fruits Basket, whose light fantasy premise hid surprising emotional depths. Lisel...
Answerman - Why Aren't Anime/Manga Sales Numbers Public?
Every month we see anime and manga sales charts from Japan, but there's no equivalent in the US - how come we never see sales info anywhere else? Justin gets into it. ― "Oshino Hunter" asks: In Japan exact sales numbers are given for all anime and manga, but in America, we get NO stats on anime sales, and only what has sold better than others for manga. Why is this? Even in Japan, publishers do not ...

Kuromukuro Episodes 1-13 Streaming
This Netflix-licensed spring season anime is finally available for streaming! Was this mecha adventure worth the wait? Theron Martin takes a look. ― We've seen anime about a person from the present being catapulted into the future to become an ace mecha pilot before (see Buddy Complex, among possibly others), but a person from the past coming to the present instead? That's certainly a new twist. It's...

Game Changers with Kevin Frazier
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Game Changers with Kevin Frazier spotlights people of all walks of life who make a positive difference through athletics. Many of the stories center on professional athletes who use their fame to inspire and teach kids, but the series gives equal acknowledgement to those whose work gets less attention but still has a strong impact on others. These inspiring and intriguing stories about role models are fine for all ages, but they'll probably be more of a draw for kids with an interest in sports.
User reviews

Kids say
What's the story?
GAME CHANGERS WITH KEVIN FRAZIER introduces viewers to athletes and others involved in sports who use their skills and experience to change others' lives for the better. From sports professionals who mentor kids to sports hopefuls who refuse to let obstacles stand in their way of success, these stories explore how athletes use their knowledge of the game, teamwork, and competition to inspire others to work for their goals as well.
Is it any good?
What's more fun than watching your favorite baseball player take the field? Perhaps watching him share his passion for community service and helping others. Not only does Game Changers give fans a front-row seat for some inspiring do-good work, it's also an opportunity to see these pros in a more off-the-cuff scenario, and that's always fun. It reminds us that, under those uniforms, they're just regular people who are using the skills they have to do something great, whether it's on the field or in their local communities.
Interspersed with the stories of the pros are other stories that might not otherwise make the news but that are fascinating nonetheless. How are experts working to ensure the safety of young players in contact sports? How can technology help players with disabilities fully partake in their favorite sports? The pros in these fields may not be handing out autographs like the players do, but their work is changing the face of the games in important ways, too.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about role models. Kids: Who are some of your role models? What do you most admire about them? Do their actions ever surprise you?
In what ways is our world constantly changing because of technology? Are all of these changes good ones? Can you think of a way in which technology has had a negative effect on people?
Kids: What are some of your unique talents? How do you like to use them? Are you able to use them to help others? How does it feel when you do?

Recurring Role
When Myka explains the significance of "Edward Prendick" to Pete, she says that he would "know him as Marlon Brando." However, Brando plays Dr. Moreau in the 1996 movie, not Prendick. Prendick doesn't appear in the 1996 movie, as his character is renamed Douglas. He is played by David Thewlis.
Myka: Maybe there's a clue in one of Wells' books, because our library is amazing.
Leena: I know, first editions of everything that's been printed.
Pete: Does that include comic books?
Myka: Really? That's your first thought?
Pete: No, but you definitely wouldn't like my first thought.
Myka: You're right.
Myka: You know that my dad used to read me H.G. Wells when I was a kid?
Pete: Yep, nothing like a little War of the Worlds to put a toddler to sleep.
Myka: You've read War of the Worlds?
Pete: Uh, no, but I saw the movie. Tom Cruise was awesome. Oh, and Brando in Island of Dr. Moreau--I could've been a scientist.
Myka: Great, great, now all we need is Angelina to do The Modern Utopia and you'll be all caught up.
Pete: How do you not have jet lag?
Myka: Because I slept on the plane. I mean, how many time can you watch Marley & Me?
Pete: It's so sad.
Pete: So, uh, what'd you say to Mary Poppins, anyway?
Myka: Oh, I just told her that you were a mental patient who thought he was H.G. Wells' long-lost boyfriend.
Pete: No, you didn't. Did you? (glares at her) Nice. That's not even funny.
Pete: I'll admit it, I thought she was hot, but she's also obviously a...
Myka: Cavorite.
Pete: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure she was that, too.
Myka: No, Cavorite was--was an anti-gravity metal that Wells wrote about. But Cavorite doesn't exist. I mean, there's no such thing.
Pete: Myka, in this job there's no such thing as no such thing. We just met the female H.G. Wells, for crying out loud.
Myka: Good point.
Claudia: Okay, well, the flames only go up eight rows. All we have to do is climb 20, run across the top, and climb down.
Artie: All we have to do?
Claudia: On the upside, you'll be able to work off some of those extra pounds you've been griping about.
Artie: Devil child.
As of the second season premiere, Simon Reynolds is no longer credited as a show star, and Allison Scagliotti-Smith is billed as a series regular.

UK: September 23, 2010 on Syfy
Australia: January 7, 2011 on SCI FI
Czech Republic: May 27, 2012 on Prima COOL
Pete: I could've been a scientist.
Referencing one of Marlon Brando's most famous lines, "I coulda been a contender," from the 1954 film On the Waterfront. Brando's character, an ex-prizefighter named Terry, makes the remark when lamenting what might have happened if he hadn't fixed a fight.
Myka: Great, great, now all we need is Angelina to do The Modern Utopia and you'll be all caught up.
Referencing the 1905 work by H.G. Wells, part of his Utopian series, where the author lays out much of his philosophy and vision for a near-perfect future society. Chapter 6, Section 3, focuses on how women would function in such a utopia.
Myka: I mean, how many times can you watch Marley and Me?
Referencing the 2008 movie based on John Grogan's autobiographical book, Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog. In the movie, John and his wife adopt Marley, a labrador retriever, as a pup and he grows up with the couple as they begin a family of their own.
Pete: So is H.G. Wells one of the Munsters?
Referencing the popular CBS series, The Munsters (1964-1966). The series featured a family of monsters trying to fit into normal society. Their father, patterned on Frankenstein's monster, was played by Fred Gwynne.
Pete: So, uh, what'd you say to Mary Poppins, anyway?
Referencing Mary Poppins (1934), a series of eight children's books written by P. L. Travers. The books center around a mysterious, magical English nanny who is blown by the wind to Number Seventeen Cherry-Tree Lane, London and into the Banks' household to care for the Banks' children. The books were adapted in 1964 into a musical Disney film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke They have also been adapted by Disney Theatrical as a stage musical in London (2004), and a Broadway musical (2006).
Cellphone: "C" is for Cookie, that's good enough for me.
Referencing the song of the Cookie Monster on Sesame Street. First performed on a March 1972 episode, it is one of the show's best-known tunes, and has been covered by several bands.
Pete: "Put the candle back." Young Frankenstein.
Referencing the 1974 movie directed and written by Mel Brooks. A parody of the first two Frankenstein movies, Pete is referring to a scene where Dr. Frankenstein tries to negotiate a bookshelf that conceals a hidden passageway. His assistant, Inga, has to remove and replace a candle in its holder to get the bookshelf to rotate. The timing doesn't go quite as planned.

New ink promotes new world tour.
Zac Brown's Drummer Won't Play Upside Down
Yes, the Zac Brown Band will be playing stadiums when they open some dates for Kenny Chesney in 2013.
But don't expect the guys to do anything too crazy during that tour, ZBB drummer Chris Fryar tells his hometown newspaper, The Birmingham [Ala.] News.
No Mötley Crüe antics for Chris or the band, and that means, most importantly, no pyro.
"It adds a whole level of responsibility," Chris said.
Also, no upside-down drumming, à la Tommy Lee.
"I think that stuff is really, really cool," he said, laughing. "But everything has to be strapped down. I'd be scared all the ChapStick and pocket change would fall out of my pockets."

Area Info
Michigan is a Midwestern state located in the east north central portion of the country. Bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair, Michigan has the longest freshwater shoreline in the United States, the ninth longest total shoreline (including island shorelines), and in 2005 had more registered recreational boats than any state except California and Florida.
Though the state is nowhere near an ocean, residents are never more than six miles from a body of water, giving the illusion of a seaside retirement. Filled with sandy, dune-lined beaches and a number of small towns with quaint downtown areas, the Great Lakes lakefront is nicknamed the "Riviera of the Midwest". Between boating, fishing, hiking the shoreline, and shopping in the quaint lakefront towns, there is plenty for retirees to do.
Central Michigan is also a popular spot with retirees who golf. The state holds 850 public golf courses including the Forest Dunes Golf Club in Roscommon, a 7,141-yard Tom Weiskopf designed course, that last year was selected by Golf Digest as one of America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses. Michigan has the largest state forest system in the nation and is a hot spot for snowmobiling and hunting.
Michigan does have some extremely cold and snow-filled winters. A nice change from the heat of the summer, the cold weather can be enjoyed sitting by a warm fire with a cup of hot cocoa.

Will to Win: A female cop with a gun to her head (Part 1)
In 1998, Officer Donna Wescott went to meet a fellow officer for coffee at a 7-11. Little did she know what she was about to encounter. She shares her story of how she reacted and communicated when a gun was pointed to her head. She says her training took over in that moment and is the reason she remained alive.
