In addition to the Overview information provided for Water Quality, the Agriculture and Wastewater Workgroups have described their priorities and progress in the tabs below. Other important work is being conducted by the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership to restore water quality by implementing pollution reduction practices on urban and suburban lands and reducing pollution deposited in the watershed from the air. Additional information on these efforts will be included over time. Progress in implementing the Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and in achieving milestones set at the 2009 Executive Council Meeting is also described below.

Best Management Practice Implementation
Current (2009) implementation levels and implementation levels that would meet the Chesapeake Bay TMDL allocations for agriculture are based on Appendix V of the TMDL and presented below. The implementation levels represent the percent of the relevant land use area or pollutant source that received a BMP. The 2009 implementation percentages are derived from the Chesapeake Bay Program 2009 modeled progress run and, with the exception of annual practices (e.g., cover crops) that are reported separately each year, represent an accumulation of BMP implementation from 1985 through 2009. The Bay jurisdictions report all data (both annual and cumulative practices) annually to EPA. The Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) percentages are based on the Bay jurisdictions' final Phase I WIP input decks (information delivered in a format that can be run through the watershed model) submitted in 2010 that were designed to meet nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment reduction targets in each major basin in each jurisdiction.
Improving Best Management Practices
Best management practice (BMP) implementation at current levels will not achieve the goals set forth in the 2010 TMDL. In addition to increasing implementation of these pollutant reduction practices, new technologies are constantly arising, replacing older practices that may have been in place for years. Through the Protocol for Development, Review and Approval of Loading and Effectiveness Estimates for Nutrient and Sediment Controls, newer practices are considered and evaluated for inclusion in the model, and long-standing practices are re-evaluated to be sure they are still properly portrayed in the model. The Agriculture Workgroup has identified a listing of priority BMPs that, once incorporated, will improve the model. Progress of the reviews and a graphic depiction of the protocol can be found under Performance Assessment.

Additional Partner Strategies
The maps below show how selected agencies and organizations are focusing their resources. EPA has established Priority Watersheds for the different pollutants addressed in the TMDL. As described in the the Executive Order Action Plan, USDA-NRCS is working to establish Showcase Watersheds, where local problems can be observed and fixed with local solutions. Explore these priority areas below.
As a final note, creating a more informed, aware constituency is vital to increasing support for putting the right practices on agricultural lands. This is a challenge taken on daily by cooperative extension programs and soil conservation districts. Providing access to the information and resources they need via ChesapeakeStat and other venues is crucial to effectively diffuse information.

Who's happy now? Well, certainly not a lot of flyers. About one million US flyers were delayed or stranded in the days just before Christmas, when some 8,800 flights were cancelled, according to website flightstats.com. Many were in the Pacific Northwest and many, alas, were at the nation's connected-est airport, Chicago O'Hare. O'Hare delays proved that even if Chicago is no longer the nation's busiest airport, it is one with tentacles that do reach awfully far. Blame it on the weather. Snowstorms, ice, fog, and freezing temps slammed the Midwest and by Christmas Weekend, the delays had also enveloped the nation's truly busiest airport, Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson. We do know one person who took some cold comfort from the chaos: Kate Hanni.
The Californian realtor and founder of flyersrights.org sees the calamities as a widespread return to the bad old days of tarmac delays, the kind that set her on her crusade to begin with and the kind that set the Transportation Department to set up a tarmac delay task force.

text: Very Disappointed in the photo and shirt this year. The photo cam on cheep photo like paper, very thin and came in an envelope that did not say photo enclosed or had carbord from keeping it nice. What a aweful way to save a buck. In years past the phot came on quailty photo paper and this year they really dropped the ball. I sent an email offering to pay out of my own pocket to have the photo redone and sent on high quality photo paper and in an envelop to protect it but recieved no reply. What I had been waiting for and recieved was garbage and a poor effort to show our doubler accomplishment. The shirt is a cotton/poly blend and not as good of hi-tech performance wear as in the past either. At least the logo doesn't lood gaudy like I won big at the casino or something. Come on we deserve better - either don't offer anything at all or do it right. I am very very disappointed. Now the so called photo can't even be framed to be displayed on my wall with all the other doubler photos. Plus we had to wait a few weeks longer than normal - for what? What a waste .

Triptych image: "Lance"
Credit: Julie Gorton
I WAS ONCE INVITED to write a biopic about Lance Loud by his mother Pat. In the 1970s, the Louds were America's most discussed clan, thanks to the first-ever reality TV show, An American Family, the experimental 12-part PBS documentary that sought to present unfiltered truth by filming the Louds of Santa Barbara virtually nonstop for seven months. When the series aired in 1973, unexpectedly huge numbers of viewers tuned in. Americans took one look at the handsome couple with their five handsome children and barely submerged problems, and they were hooked by this new way of storytelling. By the time the final installment aired, 10 million people were watching, including every pundit in the country. The chattering class saw the Louds as an example of what was going terribly, terribly wrong in the world at large; the show inspired a virtual phantasmagoria of national projection. To this day the family is still sorting out what the hell happened to them.
In the center of that maelstrom was Lance, the oldest and most vivid of the five Loud children. Just 22 at the time American Family aired, Lance was funny and flamboyant, and in love with the prospect of confronting the world and starting some wild dialog. He is sometimes described as the first gay man to "come out" on TV, but that is inaccurate. Lance just was. His family adored him and didn't question his "orientation." That he became a cultural touchstone wasn't exactly his fault, nor was it his mission. He spent the rest of his short life alternately bemused, befuddled, and, finally, proud that he had accidentally become a beacon for other gays and outsiders and artists who longed to find community in truth.
Lance formed a punk band and became a cultural journalist and had success at both careers, but his most seductive talent was his way of making anyone within his orbit feel like they were in the center of some magically twisted universe. If you were with Lance, whether you were getting gritty soul food at some dive on Avenue D at 4 a.m., or catching the Jobriath concert at the Bottom Line (tickets of course were complimentary; Lance knew everyone), you were where it was happening, and you didn't want to be anywhere else.
His exuberance was offset by its dark twin, an occasionally morbid obsession with worthlessness and isolation, documented in his sardonic and engaging writings. In his final interview for Details he described his writing as clumsy and dull witted and his work as "some loser's musings on his own mortality." On December 22, 2001, Lance died of an AIDS-related illness. He was 50 years old.
I met Pat Loud, Lance's mother, around 2000, through my longtime best friend Kristian Hoffman (who had known Lance since high school). The most devoted of moms, Pat was seeking a project that would, in a way, extend Lance's life and bring his buoyant spirit into the present.
After convincing Pat of my credentials (I have 20 produced plays to my credit), she handed over a stack of Lance's writings, essays and interviews — as well as the entire American Family series on VHS which I'd watched, along with my mom, in confused fascination as a nine-year-old. Ten years later I watched again, this time with an avid sense of appropriation (in the intervening years I had discovered my own gayness and had, like ...

George Ferguson
Havre Daily News sports editor
The Frontier Conference men's and women's basketball season is still in its infancy. However, if the opening weekend of play was an indication of what the next two months hold, fans better buckle up for a wild ride.
On the men's side of things, there were few surprises during the opening weekend of play, but many close games. An obvious amount of parity was evident in the conference.
The Carroll College Fighting Saints, who were unanimously picked to win the league this season, came into the opening weekend of play as the No. 2-ranked team in NAIA basketball, and that is the way they came out. The Saints picked up two victories on the weekend.
The surprise of the weekend may have come from the Montana State University-Northern Lights, who went on the road with a roster sprinkled with key players who had yet to see a Frontier Conference game. The Lights posted wins at UM-Western and Montana Tech, firmly establishing themselves as an instant contender for a conference championship in 2006.
Aside from Carroll and Northern, the weekend was loaded with splits. No. 19 Westminster College dropped what was only its fourth game of the entire season, leaving the Griffins in a logjam at 1-1 in conference play, along with Rocky Mountain College, Tech and Western. Only the University of Great Falls and Lewis-Clark State went winless on the weekend. Surprisingly, the Warriors had been ranked in the Top 25 coming into the weekend and had just two losses against 12 wins on the year.
Something will have to give on Saturday night as the Lights host Carroll. However, Northern will have a tougher time getting to Saturday night's game undefeated. The Lights first have to contend with a tough RMC team on Friday night in Havre, while the Saints are at struggling UGF.
In other games to watch this weekend Tech (1-1, 9-7) is at Western (1-1, 7-11) on Friday night and LC State (0-2, 12-4) is at Westminster (1-1, 11-4) on Saturday night. The game in Salt Lake City is especially critical to the Warriors, who can ill afford to start the conference season 0-3.
As the season heats up, so too is Western swingman Ty Palmer. The junior is leading the league in scoring at 19.1 points per game. Palmer is also tops in the league in free-throw percentage and second in 3-pointers made.
As wild a start as the men's season got off to, things got even more complicated last weekend on the women's side of things. Carroll College, who had been ranked No. 7 in the nation coming into the weekend, dropped games at home to Lewis-Clark State and Westminster College, leaving the Saints at 0-2 heading into this weekend.
UM-Western (2-0, 15-2) and LC State (2-0, 14-2) were the only two left undefeated after dust settled on the first weekend of play. Western's wins over MSU-Northern and the University of Great Falls helped them climb to No. 6 in this week's NAIA poll. LC State moved up to No. 14.
Carroll dropped to No. 15 this week, while Northern, which rebounded from its first loss in more than a month by defeating Montana Tech on Saturday night, fell one spot in the poll, to No. 24.
Despite all of the upsets, it is clear that the Frontier Conference may be one of the strongest leagues in all of NAIA basketball this season. The reason for that may be the dramatic improvement of Westminster. The Griffins are 8-7 this season and are sitting very nicely at 1-1 in league play.
The main reason the Griffins are so improved is the play of Shalee Fackrell, who is leading the conference in scoring with an astounding 26 points per game. The Griffins will be looking to post another upset on Saturday night when they host LC State in Salt Lake, which should be the featured game of the week in the conference.
Northern will also have a pair of very interesting games this weekend, as does Carroll. The Skylights will welcome Rocky Mountain College to the MSU-Northern Fieldhouse on Friday night. The two teams hooked up in a nonconference affair in Wolf Point in late November, with the Skylights coming out on top. The game is the first conference game between the two schools since MSU-N first-year head coach Chris Mouat left RMC, where he was an assistant. Friday night's game also marks the return of former Havre High standout Jeri Matter to Havre.
Meanwhile, Carroll will try to avoid a disastrous start to its conference season when it visits a UGF team that only has five wins this year, but carries plenty of firepower to give the Saints a difficult game in Great Falls.
On Saturday night, the Skylights and Saints will hook up in Havre with plenty of lasting conference implications on the line. Another former HHS standout will also be on the floor during that game when the Saints' Jolene Fuzesy comes to town. Fuzesy is leading the conference in 3-point shooting this season.

There could be some travel to Denver, Green Bay, and potentially to other locations such as terminals. This is a role where the person will likely be working with another business analyst who supports the business. Besides that person, they would be working very independently. So they need to be able to do that. It is not a situation where they will be part of a team supporting the same business unit, so they need to be comfortable with that.

Had this iced today – yummm. I know it's hot tea season, but I just came from dance class and wanted to try my Steeper's iced tea capability (just how they do it in store O:)
Drizzled a little agave over my ice cubes and whala. Instant iced gratification.
I steeped a little long (a tad bitter), but used lots of leaf so my second cup was less bitter. It's a nice green taste, with a hint of strawberry. And dang the leaves smell good. Can probably get a third cup, here we go!

Hi heather. I'd like to be able to come to the April 10 book group but it will depend on whether I can get there on muni. Can you let me know where it will be.
Hi Heather,
Nice to meet you! I was wondering if you could help me find a Canadian native for a proofreading/editing job for 10 hrs /wk Oct. 1 - Nov.1 in San Francisco, flexible schedule. I do not know where to find a Canadian native English speaker who could help us and take part in this project. Perhaps, you could help me spread the word around, or recommend some resource. Thank you!
Catherine Neyman
Hi Heather! Thanks so much for setting up and running the meeting last night. I had a blast. It was great to meet you!
Hi Heather, I have stepped down as the organizer of this group as I've become too busy with my new business. Would you like to be the Organizer? if so just fill out the info on the site. If no-one steps up the site will disappear in 15 days time.
Heather! So glad to see you've joined us! I had a great time last night and am looking forward to your July meet-up. Hope you can join us on this side of the bay sometime soon! Carissa
Hi Heather, good to bump into you today at 22 eureka st, what did you think? did you see anything else today? Lokk forward to seeing you at the next month end meetup.
Thank YOU for organizing this group. I organize a biking group and it is nice to just be a member of some other groups. I look forward to meeting you!
I'd attend at Alborz, but don't change just for me. It could a future venue - I'm staying in the group. Since it is a restaurant, I think it is important that everyone order something - an appetizer, or share an entree with someone else, or a glass of wine (on which the restaurant has a decent profit margin) I went to another book group back in Feb - there were five people, and four people paired up with someone else and shared an entree. It kept the cost down and the restaurant happy.
Some restaurants where the noise level is conducive to discussion:
Malai Thai, 3189 16th St @ Guerrero
Alborz (Persian), 1245 Van Ness @ Sutter
El Zocalo (Salvadoran), 3230 Mission @ Valencia
Cafe's are harder, since they tend to be small. Quetzal, 1234 Polk Street @ Sutter is big - sometimes it is loud, sometimes it is quiet. If you talked to the managers in advance, you could probably arrange for them to keep the music on the quiet side.
I'll let you know if I think of others.
Thanks for the clarification about Sushi Rock - that some people order food and some don't. My personal feeling is that if I am taking up space in a restaurant or cafe, I need to buy something. I do understand the challenge of finding an atmosphere where discussion is possible, especially with a larger group. I was looking forward to the original venue - wasn't it a tea house kind of cafe? I'm running out of space on this post - will send you another with some venue ideas.

Response to the Ministry of Justice's Call for Evidence on the Current Data Protection Legislative Framework | |
December 2010. This response comments on the Ministry of Justice's Call for Evidence on the Current Data Protection Legislative Framework. It highlights the substantial discrepancies between the rights of individuals to see their own personal data under the Data Protection Act and the rights of any member of the public to obtain official information under the Freedom of Information Act. It also deals with an apparent obstable to the release under the FOI Act of anonymised statistics derived from personal data. | |
Response to consultation on extending the coverage of the FOI (Scotland) Act | |
November 2010. This response comments on the Scottish Government's consultation on extending the coverage of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. | |
Does the public interest test include the benefit to the public overseas? | |
September 2010. A short submission to the First Tier Tribunal (Information Rights) on an aspect of the FOI Act's public interest test. The submission argues that the public interest test can include the potential benefit from disclosure to the public in countries other than the UK and is not limited to the benefits to the UK public only, as the Information Commissioner has argued. | |
Response to the Scottish Government's consultation on a revised FOI good practice code | |
April 2010. Response to the Scottish Government's consultation on revising its code of good practice under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act. The response expresses concern that the draft code's approach to requests which are phrased in terms of 'documents' rather than 'information' is restrictive and undermines the Scottish Information Commissioner's guidance on this issue. It suggests that the guidance on the provision of advice and assistance could be strengthened; that the loss of specific Scottish Government guidance on the EIRs may have unintended consequences; that the draft may lead to confusion between the FOISA exemptions on breach of confidence and substantial prejudice to commercial interests. It also says authorities should not be entitled to ignore a request for internal review which has not been made to a designated person. | |
Ministry of Justice's freedom of information statistics 361 kb | |

Submission to the 30 year rule review 464 kb | |
April 2008. Response to the review of the 30 year rule that was set up by the Prime Minister. The response summarises the 7 Information Tribunal decisions to date dealing with advice or internal discussion and points out that in almost every case the Tribunal has held that disclosure should have taken place at the time of the request, a few years or months after the decision. It says that this material should now be proactively released after 15 years, though if necessary, the reduction could be brought in in two stages, starting with 20 years initially. This change would also mean that these exemptions could no longer be used to withhold information under the FOI Act once it was 15 (or 20) years old. | |

The Campaign has written to the Information Commissioner challenging the view that the Commissioner does not have the legal power under the FOI Act to require authorities to include particular classes of information in their publication schemes.

Evidence on the draft Bill to the Public Administration Committee 312 kb | |

"Very very good! Only difference Id make is a little trick I learned from my great grandmother. Simmer the hollowed cut side in a little bit of water for a few minutes in a frying pan to cut back on the strong flavour of the bell peppers. Its usually too strong for me and with there being no meat in them itll help balance out the flavors. :)"

Post subject: 2007 Turkey Contest Sign Up
It's that time of year again. Last year we held our 3rd Annual turkey contest and everyone enjoyed it a lot so we're doing it again this year.
This year is special so let's do it In Memory of Bossgobbler. The idea is mainly to recognize some of the great birds our forum members take throughout the spring with a little friendly competition.
Teams will be formed with hunters from across the country and take the best scoring birds from those teams, add them up and see who comes out on top. This is just an informal contest, no prizes or entry forms or anything, but it gives us a chance to keep up with everyone's season and gives some bragging rights as well.
What we need is for anyone interested in being part of this contest to reply to this topic and state what subspecies -- Eastern, Rio Grande, Osceola or Merriam's you are going to hunt for this year.
Contest is open to all members who enter prior to Feb 28,2007. If you have a child under 16 who wants to enter the contest, sign them up too. Consult Contest Rules for any question on how to register.
Also, to help us set the teams up, we need to know if you are an Experienced hunter or a Beginner. If you normally shoot at least one turkey a year, that makes you experienced in our book, no matter how old you are.
We'll have basically the same rules as last year. Each team will have at least 12 team members and we'll take the 5 highest scoring birds from the team, regardless of subspecies, to make up the team score. Only 1 bird can be used from any one team member.
Contest entries are due by 9:00 pm Eastern, Feb. 28. The contest will run through June 2, which will allow any of those late season hunters to get their entries in after the season is over. We will take the 5 best scoring turkeys from each team, regardless of subspecies. Only 1 turkey may be used from each team member for the team score. Each hunter can, however, enter as many birds as he wants for the individual awards.
It doesn't cost anything and there are lots of great turkey hunters here so ask questions and join in the discussions. Just remember that your team is counting on you so if you sign up, stick around and post your bird or at least let us know how your season went. We have lots of turkey veterans and beginners as well here so stick around ask some questions and get to know your team members.
Remember to check the Contest Rules section for more details.
Here would be a sample entry --
I'll be hunting Kansas and Missouri for Easterns & Florida for Osceolas
E (just use an E or a B for experienced or beginner)
Diplomacy is the art of making a point without making an enemy.

Updated: January 10, 2013
"Very popular with the people traveling Route 66. It's in all the magazines. They were on the Food Channel. They were very well known throughout the United States and overseas. They brought in a lot of people from overseas," says Charlene Hunley, Fan of Cafe on the Route.
The owners also owned the L.L. Sawyer's restaurant inside the Gryphon Building in Joplin which closed last year.

Hi all! My name is Radha and I'm one of Scholarships.com's newest virtual interns!
In high school, I was a well-rounded student – high GPA, honors classes, extracurricular activities and volunteer work...you name it, I did it – but after getting accepted by both the University of the Pacific and the University of San Francisco, limited finances and financial aid prevented me from attending either school. To save money to put toward transferring, I instead enrolled in De Anza College and Evergreen Valley College to complete my gen eds. It wasn't easy (De Anza was a distant commute and made it difficult for me to take the classes I needed to transfer) but I amassed enough credits to transfer after two years. I didn't get into my first choice (UCLA) and my second choice (Berkeley) did not have my intended major so I enrolled at UCSB, where I was accepted into the Honors Program and received plenty of financial aid. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned when my transfer status affected my major so I am back at EVC but transferring to San Jose State University in the fall. Whew!
I've always enjoyed writing (I hope to write a book someday) and I believe my interest in working with others – plus my excellent persuasion abilities – will lend itself to a career in public relations. Being a Scholarships.com virtual interns complements my goals perfectly: It's an excellent opportunity to gain experience in something I enjoy doing and since I'm always looking for scholarships to pay for school, writing for a website that helps students do just that seemed ideal. Hope you'll all enjoy reading my opinions and advice just as much as I enjoy sharing them!

College classes, whether taken online or in person, may all seem to be the same. Both types require you to read, write papers, take tests and participate in some way but there is a big difference in the lifestyle that you can lead when you take online classes instead of taking traditional classes on campus.
I have personally taken both online and traditional classes, experienced the differences between the two and quickly learned that my learning style needed to be adjusted on a class-by-class basis. With traditional classes, you have a set time to go to class, turn in work and take tests. Your other daily activities have to be planned around your class schedule. Online classes allow you to be more flexible with your time – the ones I've taken allowed me to base my school activities on my daily schedule and do the work when it was convenient for me – while still studying and adhering to deadlines set by the instructor. But with this increased flexibility comes more responsibility, as you have to learn how to make a schedule you can stick to. This schedule should list all of your assignments along with their due dates so that you don't miss turning anything in. (When I first started taking online classes, I missed two assignments because I hadn't adjusted to this new type of learning. Ouch!)
Online classes are very convenient for those who have busy schedules that don't allow them to sit in traditional classes. Taking classes online makes it easier to push your work to the side until the last minute, so be prepared to manage your time more closely if you want to stay on track.

The debate on whether ACT and SAT scores are an accurate tool for assessing student abilities has been going on for years. Even though recent studies found SAT scores to be less effective in predicting long-term college success than was previously thought, dealing with these tests is still pretty much unavoidable. Until standardized tests are out of sight and out of mind, students should do their best to get acquainted with them. Below is a sampling of average college SAT and ACT scores as reported by the Department of Education. To find more college ACT and SAT scores, information about estimated costs of attendance, and the number of applicants at schools across the U.S., check out our college search.

I began my high school career at EXCEL-Orr High School but quickly realized the school was not doing enough to prepare me for post-secondary success. At the beginning of my sophomore year, I transferred to Urban Prep Academy and though my collegiate dreams were now within reach, the transition was not easy. I was met with much opposition and had multiple run-ins with many of the students. I was torn: Here I had this great opportunity but these external factors were taking an academic and emotional toll on me. I began to regret transferring and eventually regret school altogether.
Luckily, I found solace in my extracurricular activities such as debate and youth activism club. These things helped me realize my full potential and made me believe that there was something greater in store for me. Transferring quickly went from the worst decision I had ever made to the best, especially when it came time to start applying to colleges. Initially, I saw more challenges – Will I get in? Can I afford tuition? – but my worries were put to rest just as fast: We had an entire class period dedicated to college preparation and the application process, which is where I found out about the site you're reading right now. Not only did I get accepted to a fantastic school, I also received enough scholarships and grants to pay for it.
If you find yourself dissatisfied with your high school's curriculum, don't sit idly by: Challenge yourself by taking harder courses or transfer, like I did. It may be difficult at first but any struggle will be well worth it in the future.
Julius Claybron was born on Chicago's South Side in the Harold Ickes public housing projects. At the age of five, he lost his father to diabetes and was raised by his mother and grandmother, who helped him to enroll in Urban Prep Academy, a public all-male college-preparatory high school, during his sophomore year. Julius started to read at the age of two and still enjoys escaping in books during his spare time. He will begin his freshman year at Cornell University this fall, where he plans to double major in psychology and English literature.

Standardized testing is as much – if not more – a part of the college process as dancing when the fat envelope arrives, Facebooking your new roommate and shopping for extra-long twin sheets. That will no longer be the case for DePaul University applicants for the freshman class entering in 2012 because the Chicago school has announced its plans to make the reporting SAT and ACT scores optional.
But don't start shredding your test prep materials into confetti just yet: Students choosing not to submit ACT or SAT scores will be required to write short responses to essay questions designed to measure "noncognitive" traits, such as leadership, commitment to service, and ability to meet long-term goals. These essays were introduced a few years ago and subsequent research convinced the admissions committee that the nontraditional measures did more than the ACT or SAT to predict the success of low-income and minority students at the university. Jon Boeckenstedt, associate vice president for enrollment management, said he wants to encourage applicants with high grade-point averages but relatively low standardized test scores to apply and believes the new method will allow his colleagues to better select applicants who are most likely to succeed and graduate.
DePaul is now the largest private university to join the FairTest list, joining Wake Forest as one of the most selective institutions to adopt test-optional policies. Do you think giving students the choice to report their scores will produce the results DePaul expects? What do you think is a better barometer of qualified applicants: test scores or essays?

This past Saturday, one-third of high school students taking the SAT opened their writing sections and were met with a prompt that even the most extensive prep courses couldn't have prepared them for. The topic? Reality television and its impact on its viewers.
While the prompt didn't ask test-takers to cite specific shows or characters (as a New York Daily News headline suggests), SAT owner the College Board has been called culturally insensitive because the question assumes all students have a television, watch reality television and watch enough reality television to distinguish between them. Angela Garcia, executive director of the SAT program, responded that all essay prompts are pretested with students and then reviewed "to ensure that they are easily understood and that each student has an opportunity to respond, and is wide-ranging enough for a student to demonstrate their writing skills." Still, students, parents and school officials are equal parts distraught and confused, anxiously awaiting to see how answers to this question will impact scores.
Standardized testing – whether it's about changes to existing exams or the decision to make submitting scores optional – is a hot topic as of late and now, we want to hear from you. Did you receive the reality prompt? How did you respond? Do you think you would have fared better if you were given a different prompt? Do you think the SAT (or standardized testing in general) is an accurate measure of a student's worth?

Imagine studying hard, taking AP classes and earning a stellar GPA for four years and having that hard work pay off by being named the valedictorian of your class. Sounds like a dream, right? Not necessarily. Just ask Carolyn Fine.
Fine received the news that she'd been selected as Vacaville High School's valedictorian and but her heart sank when she found out the date of the graduation ceremony: It was scheduled to take place on the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, a day prohibiting the use of anything requiring electricity until after sunset. This meant she would not be able to use a microphone during her speech, drive to the ceremony or pose for pictures in her cap and gown after receiving her diploma. Fine spent the next few weeks struggling to decide between honoring her faith and delivering her valedictory address and ultimately decided the former was more important. Admiring her choice, school administrators offered a solution to satisfy all parties. "They prerecorded my speech and they are going to play that while I'm standing up there," Fine said. "It was a tremendous relief. It seemed like I had reached a compromise where I could keep to my faith and accept this, because it's a huge honor."
What would you have done in Fine's situation – honored your faith or given the speech using a device powered by electricity?

The decision to attend college is one that everyone arrives at differently. For some, not going to school isn't an option, be it by their own standards or their parents'; for others, taking the next step in their educational career may have required a little more convincing. I have even heard stories of parents who bribe their kids to go to college with promises of apartments or cars.
While a new ride or a place to call your own might sound tempting, there's an even more tempting offer out there from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel – the 20 Under 20 Thiel Fellowship, which, in exchange for a commitment to not attending college for two years and dedicating themselves entirely to their inventions, Thiel offered each fellow $100,000. The response was overwhelming, as are the opinions floating around the controversial award.
One of the lucky 20 fellows, Dale Stephens, wrote an article for CNN discussing his own feelings toward the idea that real world experience could prove to be more beneficial than a formal education. He discusses his disappointment in the values that are promoted by the college system – a disappointment that resounds on college campuses around the country. He goes on to discuss the possibilities out there for our generation beyond a traditional education, which, as Stephens puts it, are beyond the extremes of "Becoming the next Mark Zuckerberg or mastering the phrase 'Would you like fries with that?'"
Stephens' call to seek opportunities beyond the formal educational system may be influenced by his experience as a Thiel Fellow but is an idea that is considered by many current and soon-to-be college students. I myself have heard students complain about feeling as though they aren't really getting anything out of college. The phrase "I'm never going to use this in real life" is one that's uttered frequently, but how much truth is there to that? Do you feel that there's something to be learned in college or is it a societal expectation we've come to accept?
Angela Andaloro is a rising junior at Pace University's New York City campus, where she is double majoring in communication studies and English. Like most things in New York City, her life and college experience is far from typical – she commutes to school from her home in Flushing and took nearly a semester's worth of classes online – but she still likes to hang out with friends, go to parties and feed her social networking addiction like your "average" college student.

One California law school is being very transparent in their attempts to make their students' grades more competitive, thanks to recent revisions in their grading system. Loyola Law School in downtown Los Angeles recently announced they would be bumping students' GPAs up by one-third of a point, to align themselves with other schools in the area they feel already grade on a higher curve. Students who had an A- in a course would now receive an A, for example.
The fix may not be considered grade inflation in the traditional sense, as it involves a school-wide decision to raise the student population's GPAs and includes the full support of the administration. Grade inflation is typically less obvious, and may vary course by course. The stereotype at many of the most prestigious private colleges across the country is that once you gain admittance to such a school, you won't meet much resistance in your goal to graduate with an impressive GPA.
The situation at Loyola suggests that schools are paying more attention to their grading policies as a way to keep students from seeking out colleges where they have better potential to graduate with a higher GPA. According to an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, the school decided to give students' GPAs a boost when it noticed many of their graduates had been entering the job market at an unfair competitive disadvantage. The change won't only affect current Loyola students, but recent graduates since 2007. The boost will make the most difference to students on the cusp of a B-average, as many employers are hesitant to consider job applicants with GPAs below that point.
Critics suggest it will make it even harder for graduates to land jobs now that the change has hit the news, as now employers know the school has artificially inflated the students' GPAs. Administrators disagree: "We're not trying to make them look better than other comparable students at other schools. We just want them to be on an even playing field," Victor J. Gold, the school's dean, said in The Chronicle. The students' class ranks will not be affected by the change.
On the other hand, professors at some schools have been faced with "quotas" that limit them in awarding a certain amount of one letter grade over another, leading some students to complain of grade deflation. This has created some discontent at Princeton University, for example, where students worry that grade inflation at nearby Ive League schools will place them at a disadvantage. (Princeton has been working to urge professors to offer grades based solely on work and merit, not outside pressures, for several years.)

Providing incentives for good grades is an increasingly common policy for parents of elementary and high school students. In my household, report card day meant personal pan pizzas and a reprieve from the topping battle among my sister who didn't eat cheese, my sister who only ate cheese, and my own vote for a supreme pizza with extra cheese. After pizza ceased to be a point of contention, my parents switched to the popular plan of offering financial incentives for good grades. I don't remember the pay scale exactly, but I do remember missing it once I hit college. Many undergraduate students are probably in the same boat, thinking about how even $10 or $20 per A could mean fewer trips to the plasma bank or even an extra textbook or two next semester.Two brothers, who also happen to hold economics degrees from Harvard and Princeton, had a similar idea. Michael and Matthew Kopko launched the website GradeFund last month to apply a model similar to fundraising for a marathon, where sponsors pledge to donate a certain amount per mile completed, to finding money for college. College students' friends and family members, as well as corporate sponsors and others interested in donating money to help deserving students fund their educations, sign up on the site to give a certain dollar amount per grade earned to a particular student.Students create profiles donors can search, and are matched up with people interested in helping them finance their educations. Rather than agreeing to provide student loans or cover tuition in exchange for work, like in other peer-to-peer financial aid programs we've mentioned on our blog, donors on GradeFund, like scholarship providers, don't require anything in return for their donations. While it's unlikely that a student will pay for their entire university education this way (according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the current highest pledge per A is $400), they could easily pay for their books and possibly even a good part of other expenses that college scholarships or student financial aid might not cover. Plus, since these payments are linked to concrete achievements by students already attending college, donors may feel less apprehensive about the recipients of their philanthropy floundering once they face the academic challenges of their undergraduate studies.
