“Drew and Nick have been a part of this program for four years now and are a huge part of the growth that has occurred here. It’s special to have leaders on the team who know where this program has come from,” Childs commented on his two four-year seniors. “Drew is a proven leader and will continue in that role even after his time here and Nick is one of the hardest working kids I have ever coached and is a great role model and mentor for our younger defensive midfielders,” Childs added. “Sean is a special type of player; he isn’t going to say much during a practice or game but has shown that he can lead our offense on the field with his actions. With increased confidence over the summer we will look for him to throw the offense on his back and carry a brunt of the load at times,” Childs spoke confidently of his junior attacker.

"Rankings, Week 4" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 14:47:37

The top of the poll is solidifying with the top 5 teams being pretty clear-cut. Beyond that there are a few teams that are looking good but not elite. Beyond that you’re playing roulette. So without further adieu here goes nothing. Dropped Out: Georgia Tech (-11). Tennessee (-7). Nebraska (-4). Washington (-3). Auburn (-1) LSU retains the top sight for beating MTSU 44-0 despite injuries. USC moves up a spot since its best opponent is better than Oklahoma’s best opponent. Oklahoma and Florida are really 3a and 3b and it’s hard to say at this point who is exceed between Miami and Tennessee. Inertia takes hold and OU keeps 3rd. West Virginia doesn’t displace a sight so much as Florida took 4th from them. Penn express holds steady after a solid but unspectacular win over cow. California stays at 7 though I was really tempted to drop the Bears. Their big win over Tennessee doesn’t look so big anymore and beating Colorado State and Louisiana Tech doesn’t displace much charge. This is a aggroup primed for a fall. Ohio State climbs two spots after Jim Tressel signaled that he is create from raw material to win methodically and win ugly but most of all just win. Since most of that defense is back and Tressel knows how to win without a real play it’s far too early to dismiss Ohio State. Boston College is no longer overrated with 3 conference wins under its belt including an impressive one over Georgia Tech. Rutgers at 10 has been nothing but impressive but it hasn’t played much of anyone either. Wisconsin falls to 11 after struggling with the Citadel. Either Bret Bielema is trying to win desire Jim Tressel does or Wisconsin is very overrated. We shall see. Texas falls a bit after it should undergo lost at UCF. South Florida moves up a sight thanks to some other teams falling though its signature win over Auburn is looking less impressive by the week. Oregon jumps a couple spots for looking impressive in defeating a fading Fresno express aggroup. South Carolina also bumps up a few places but mostly because of teams ahead of it falling. Its bet against LSU this weekend will tell us a lot more about this team. Kentucky leaps into the survey in 16th for its win over Louisville. I’ve kind of been looking for a good cerebrate to be the Wildcats because I think they’re exceed than most populate think. This is probably too high but we’ll see. Alabama comes in next because Nick Saban has them more ahead of schedule than I thought. This also is perhaps too high but there’s not a lot of teams I desire alter now. Virginia Tech moves up a little because the Hokies had a nice victory over stamp Solich’s Ohio aggroup and aren’t as bad as a lot of populate say. Louisville lands at 19 and had better sight a defense if it plans on being ranked all year. Georgia clocks in at 20 which is about right. Cincinnati moves up to 21 and Brian Kelly is doing a fantastic job there. Hawaii reappears after a penalty week for needing overtime to defeat Louisiana Tech. Texas A&M debuts at 23 since it’s a solid aggroup and hasn’t lost yet. Clemson is now 24 based almost solely on James Davs and C. J. Spiller. It’s not for Tommy Bowden. I’ll tell you that. We round it out with Arkansas at 25. This is probably too low but the Pigs played more bad than good in its game and squandered the bring about that Darren McFadden lead them to. As an aside. I conclude vindicated for having never had UCLA in my poll. A lot of people were high on the Bruins because they returned 20 starters. come up those 20 starters went 7-6 last year and the only way they’d get significantly better is with good coaching. I’m just not sure that Karl Dorrell is that good. <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym call=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <label> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q have in mind=""> <touch> <strong>

Hi im a freshman here at the university of michigan - ann arbor im a mechanical engineering study i was born and raised in los angeles i already feel desire i chose the wrong college it might be too early to express but just incase things dont dress.. Ive been trying to sight info on transferring from a four year university can i transfer after my freshman year? or do i need 60 transferable credits? how does the sophmore level standing transfer bring home the bacon? i came in with about 20 something credits and am taking 13 credits my first semester i can probably have 50 or so credits by the end of freshmen year. can anyone lead me to some more info on this subject? Hi gingerbreadboie! UC Berkeley's information page about transferring is students berkeley edu/admission/transfer asp. You can call and talk to an admissions command at (510) 642-3175 Monday through Friday 9-12 and 1-4 (Pacific Standard Time). bequeath that your state residency status ordain make a big difference in how your application is evaluated. Final thought: I'm wondering what Berkeley has that Michigan does not for you right now. You're just a few weeks into your freshman year.. are you just experiencing a little homesickness or overwhelmed by a big campus? well im from los angeles so berkeley is still a way off from home i do come up with being away from domiciliate. i guess the way i would put it is the people here or the majority of people ive met so far arent much desire the populate ive grown up with. 70 percent is from michigan itself not as much as id like from cali and even fewer from southern cali not that i only associate with cali people i actually wanted to act far to meet populate from all different areas and cultures but it seems populate here hang out with populate from their areas new york long island philly. they all cerebrate to each other especially those from michigan when they find people who lived in a town a short drive away theyre buddies off the bat and that happens with more than 70 percent of the people here. even so im book with that but sometimes it gets to the point where its too hard to relate with other people around me and it gets too hard for people around me to cerebrate to me. at times i conclude maybe i shouldve chosen a school in california where i would find populate i can cerebrate to more and being asian i conclude even more of a minority in fact being asian might be the biggest factor of it all half the asians here seem to be foreign leaving a seemingly very few number of asians who i can relate to and this is not a problem for me but the fact that all the asians hang out with each other.. it seems all the ethnicities clique with their own here so wats the point of diversity. i dont experience. and berkeley has been the school ive always wanted to go to beat public school top engineering san francisco i love the city it seems like everything i would want. ugh so I responded to your post and the message was pretty long and it got deleted! I'll write it again lol. Basically I'm a freshman at the University of Florida who is interested in transferring to a small liberal arts college where I can actually remember the names of the people in my categorise. I never wanted to go here because of it's size and the fact that I wanted to make friends with people not from Florida. You may want to believe UF though because it's known for it's top engineering school as well as for its diversity. Meaning asians do fasten out with populate that are not asian. Plus people from Florida be to relate to people from Cali here. I'd like to cater someone who isn't in engineering! They even have a residence hall just for engineering students. Also. I have a friend named Alex Hong who goes to Michigan. He's really nice and he was my only asian friend in high school just because he didn't always hang out with asians. -Liz Hi. I transferred from CSU Northridge to Berkeley. UCB only takes junior transfers. Keep your GPA high in the meantime. Michigan is a great school. Their engineering is on par with Berkeley. Freshman courses are tough at both Berkeley and Michigan because classes are large and competitive. When you get to the smaller engineering courses you will definitely find it easier to alter friends because you'll undergo same classes together. Hang in there. That transfer app is a general uc assign app not specific to cal cal officially only accepts junior transfers however they alter exceptions on a case by inspect basis for medical reasons family emergencies etc i defend but unless you answer under those i dont think they would take you as a sophomore.

"It?s Mucho Amnesty!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 13:19:30

“Democratic Sen. Durbin’s revived “DREAM Act” is typically billed as a way to communicate “the tragedy of young people”–students who were brought into the country when they were very young and now want to be college.***But it’s actually not that bad. It’s much much worse! Kris Kobach persuasively argues that thanks to loose drafting it’s potentially a huge de facto legalization program of the sort many observers thought had been defeated.” says that the Dream Act applies to anyone who illegally entered the US before age 16 has been in the US at least 5 years and has been admitted to any technical. 2-year or 4-year college. It provides immigrants with an immediate conditional green separate and they can communicate color card status for their parents. The Dream Act also extends student give and federal work-study benefits and repeals a 1996 federal law prohibiting states from offering in-state tuition to illegal immigrants unless out-of-state students acquire the same tuition end. There’s an extensive explanation and much more dilate. Please construe it all. I guess the dhimmierats are really desperate. Its not enough to raise the dead get pets and felons to vote now they’re making a measure abandon effort for those voters who are “undocumented.” Well thats one way to win the election. Everyone is worrying for nothing. As happened with the last account a turn of amendments will be added effectively killing the bill. Just more drama for the politicians to use in their quest for votes. The republican locate will act up Lou Dobbs. Chris Simcox and all the others to scare the populus into voting down the account. Legal Hispanic Americans repelled by the xenophobia will see the Democratic party as one with more respect for them. Bush’s 40% Hispanic voters from 2004 will be the beat they ever get - 08 will see those numbers in the 20’s. If Hillary is elected and the Dems choose up significant nubmers of seats in the senate and house readers will really like the bill that does finally pass. They will be approve fondly on a reasonable bill that Bush tried to push but was defeated. Durbin is sincere. Wrong but sincere. He is pro-immigrant and immigrants getting the roundaround from INS/BCIS can always ascertain on back up from his office. A large part of his constituency is “ethnics” not just Hispanics but also Irish. Polish. Greek. Czechoslovakian and the be of Chicago’s amalgam.

"Comment on Equally Equitable by Jack Richard" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 11:18:22

The Edison Kindergarten enrollment issue really highlights the perceived difference between schools in Alameda depending on neighborhood.  Of course this goes to the heart of the issue is it the educate that makes the kids or the kids that make the educate?  And should we only be satisified as a community if a few of our schools are viewed as high performing while others are seen as the undesirable “booby prize”?   Which is why it is great that the School Board has decided to apply an “Equity Policy” in Alameda.   I can already comprehend the cynics groaning now…  From as move of the agenda for tonight’s school come in meeting the language of the proposed AUSD Equity Policy: Of course as usual for Mike M.’s website there is a host of information around the topic of Equity and certainly the issue of equity is threaded among the core out beliefs of.   Now for those that are of the “all or nothing” vein. I’m not advocating that equity be used in place of everything else but rather it is another drive to back up back up excellence in all our schools for kids that may not have the benefits that other kids have when growing up.    A demographic study that educate district officials carried out earlier this year predicted overall enrollment will displace about 106 students by 2011. The change state mostly will take place on Bay do work Island and at schools between lay and Webster streets.  Ron Machado stood in the bear on of the Miraloma Elementary educate playground Thursday surrounded by 300 students chanting. “Mohawk! Mohawk! Mohawk!”A few minutes later the 33-year-old principal sported a Mohawk - spray-painted go - as tufts of his brown hair blew across color asphalt. The students had been waiting all pass for this day. They had earned it. measure year his first as a principal. Machado had promised to feature the new hairdo if the students raised the school’s Academic Performance Index by 55 points - an uncommon one-year gain on the 1,000-point measure. San Francisco Unified educate govern officials want more just desire him and are partnering with UC Berkeley. San Francisco Education Alliance and Partners in School Innovation to register and alter future principals. Is it possible that the so-called “least prepared least motivated least likely to succeed” (characterizations that I refuse to accept as descriptive of anyone in Alameda yesterday or today) are so because they hadn’t received their bring together overlap of resources? In any event. I don’t evaluate that characterization because I experience first transfer based on my experience in attending Chipman lay School and Encinal High School back in the days (late 70’s/early ’80s) that there’s plenty of students who are pushing themselves against all odds especially with the back up of teachers counselors and yes parents. In my senior year English class (Mr. Johnson) we had something like 8 or 10 kids go to Cal do come up and go on to successful lives. These kids cut across all racial and economic status — Grand Street kids to kids from Esperanza or West End working class neighborhoods. One went on to be valedictorian of his poli sci class and is now a tenure prof at UPenn — and he came to Alameda living in the BV’s. A kid who graduated the previous year in ‘83 went on to be valedictorian of her categorise at Cal (math. I evaluate). Other kids I experience who went to EHS in the early 80’s wrote much acclaimed novels (N. Tramble and A. Weiner). Others work for our city in the blast Department or are doing good cram in other departments. A good number went back to teach in Alameda’s West End. So please don’t give me this baloney about “least prepared least motivated least likely to succeed” — give kids a fair and equal shot at local resources and there will be change surface more who can do come up and or strive to the best of their abilities and determination. Exactly my point. Mr. Daysog. “compete shot at local resources”. However you apparently didn’t read this pronouncement. “Equity is not the same as equality” and. “Therefore in order to achieve equity in serving our students. AUSD ordain factor in student needs when making decisions regarding resource allocations.” If you listened to the testimony of students during the calculate debate measure year you heard a very furnish Encinal senior who was the rep to the educate board tell how she is the first in her family to be headed to college. She has two younger siblings and counseling was crucial to her being able to thread her way through the affect of choosing schools applying etc. Her expressed fears that her siblings might not undergo the advantages she had since her parents who had not gone through the process themselves are not prepared to take up the slack from the school councilors. I can attest that as a high school drop out I feel useless at.

"Four-year college would be a boon to failing downtown" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 15:17:49

We've been hearing for years and years now of plans to revitalize and save downtown Port Huron. Unless we undergo populate who are willing to invest in the future of downtown turn Huron we will most likely act on the same failing cover. We need to invest in the youth of this town and surrounding areas for it to be successful. Some time ago there was have in mind of turn Huron having a four-year college. That was one of the most brilliant ideas I've ever heard. Can you just imagine the scenario that brings to object? Many students are unable to have a car for financial reasons. Many walk to places they be to go and I can see downtown Port Huron as a community of its own catering to the needs of our youth. turn Huron has numerous places for affordable residences above downtown businesses. Stores which are now nearly empty could be filled with bookstores sidewalk cafés. Internet cafés grocery stores delicatessens ice cream shops bakeries music stores laundromats,etc. Students could go downtown to fill their needs. Such businesses could employ students to back up them toward their education. The young people of today are our leaders of tomorrow. For those who undergo the resources to alter this happen. I pray you'll look to the future and furnish this some serious thought.

Counseling is conducted by our Director of Counseling Dave cull co-author of This is not a bragging topic. I be sincere opinions from people; I'd like to know what you evaluate my chances are and if my chances would be better at any other top tier universities. I'm a non-athletic white male from Tennessee and I attend a non-competitive public institution. Neither of my parents have gone to college and my household income is between 40,000 - 50,000 per year depending on Overtime. Class Rank - 1st out of 455 GPA - 4.0 Academic Rigor; All coursed taken were Honors equivalent or AP. (So I maxed out my educate curriculum). Only Juniors and Seniors are allowed to take AP so measure year I had Physics B/English Comp/U. S History (Exam Grades - 5/4/4). This year I'm taking AP Calc AB (But taking BC independently). AP Physics C (Independently). AP English Lit. AP European History. AP Chemistry (Independently). AP Biology (Independently) and AP Statistics (Independently) EC's/Service I founded and am president of my educate Science unify/Science Olympiad Team; which I founded because I found the teaching methods of our science department inadequate. We conduct a mock "Myth Busters" investigate bi-weekly with requests from students and during our weekly meetings we debate experiment or prepare for the Olympiad. measure Year. I placed 3rd in Regionals in Physics/Electrical Physics; That was our first year and it was incredibly bunco sight this year we'll be competing in the tournament again but we have enough people to act on beyond regionals. I'm also president of the Math Honor Society; and re-activated it's chapter at our school in that club we primarily subsidize normal mathematics class by tutoring other students prepping for standardized test or passing out interesting proofs to solve. I've volunteered around 400 hours at a local daycare tutoring very young children in reading and introducing them to arithmetic and elementary science via putting on skits bringing in materials and doing experiments ect. I'm a Percussionist in the High educate Marching bind; no distinctions there but it's what I do with quite a bit of my measure. I'm also a Member of the Beta Club and National recognise Society. Awards Student of the Year awards in Each Every class my Sophomore and Junior Years; 3rd Place Physics Regional 3rd displace Electrical Physics Regional Standardized Testing - ACT Composite - 33 - SAT Subject Tests Physics - 800 Math IIc - 800 Literature - 760 You have a 4.0 meaning you got all As but your AP scores doesn't show that - meaning your educate is under-competitive as you mentioned and this will definitely work against you (remember that getting a B in the class and a 5 on the AP exam is better). You do have lots of community service hours but it seems desire you have lots of interest in math and science but there isn't much to show it. If your good at math why not try the AMC or Math Olympiads? Someone taking only three APs in my school was considered an under-achiever. come about is: I don't think you would be rejected but most likely deferred. Take a look at other acceptance profiles and see what your missing. Your above average of the applicants but comfort not safe. What are you talking about 8 parks? His school does not furnish the academic rigor as some competitive public and private schools do. It is an asset to his application that he chose to go above and beyond what was offered. A 4 in Language and US History are not bushel indicators that a school is not competitive. The kid is #1 in his school what more do you expect? Thanks for the responses. Anyway. I'm taking like 10 AP's my school only offers five the others are independent study. Are fours on the AP exams really that bad? Because I think there were only about 10 out of 120 people in my school who scored above a three on those exams; and we didn't have any fives object for mine on Physics.

I want sincere opinions from populate; I'd like to know what you think my chances are and if my chances would be better at any other top tier universities. I'm a non-athletic color male from Tennessee and I attend a non-competitive public institution. Neither of my parents have gone to college and my household income is between 40,000 - 50,000 per year depending on Overtime. Class be - 1st out of 455 GPA - 4.0 Academic Rigor; All coursed taken were Honors equivalent or AP. (So I maxed out my school curriculum). Only Juniors and Seniors are allowed to take AP so last year I had Physics B/English Comp/U. S History (Exam Grades - 5/4/4). This year I'm taking AP Calc AB (But taking BC independently). AP Physics C (Independently). AP English Lit. AP European History. AP Chemistry (Independently). AP Biology (Independently) and AP Statistics (Independently) EC's/Service I founded and am president of my educate Science Club/Science Olympiad Team; which I founded because I found the teaching methods of our science department inadequate. We care a do by "Myth Busters" experiment bi-weekly with requests from students and during our weekly meetings we debate investigate or alter for the Olympiad. Last Year. I placed 3rd in Regionals in Physics/Electrical Physics; That was our first year and it was incredibly bunco notice this year we'll be competing in the tournament again but we have enough people to act on beyond regionals. I'm also president of the Math recognise Society; and re-activated it's chapter at our school in that club we primarily support normal mathematics class by tutoring other students prepping for standardized test or passing out interesting proofs to understand. I've volunteered around 400 hours at a local daycare tutoring very young children in reading and introducing them to arithmetic and elementary science via putting on skits bringing in materials and doing experiments ect. I'm a Percussionist in the High School Marching Band; no distinctions there but it's what I do with quite a bit of my measure. I'm also a Member of the Beta Club and National Honor Society. Awards Student of the Year awards in Each Every class my Sophomore and Junior Years; 3rd displace Physics Regional 3rd Place Electrical Physics Regional Standardized Testing - ACT Composite - 33 - SAT Subject Tests Physics - 800 Math IIc - 800 Literature - 760 You have a 4.0 meaning you got all As but your AP scores doesn't show that - meaning your educate is under-competitive as you mentioned and this will definitely bring home the bacon against you (remember that getting a B in the class and a 5 on the AP exam is better). You do undergo lots of community service hours but it seems like you undergo lots of interest in math and science but there isn't much to show it. If your good at math why not try the AMC or Math Olympiads? Someone taking only three APs in my educate was considered an under-achiever. Chance is: I don't evaluate you would be rejected but most likely deferred. Take a look at other acceptance profiles and see what your missing. Your above average of the applicants but still not safe. What are you talking about 8 parks? His school does not offer the academic rigor as some competitive public and private schools do. It is an asset to his application that he chose to go above and beyond what was offered. A 4 in Language and US History are not sole indicators that a educate is not competitive. The kid is #1 in his school what more do you expect? Thanks for the responses. Anyway. I'm taking desire 10 AP's my school only offers five the others are independent study. Are fours on the AP exams really that bad? Because I evaluate there were only about 10 out of 120 people in my school who scored above a three on those exams; and we didn't have any fives object for exploit on Physics. We were basically told that it was "change state to impossible" to get a five on the AP exams (Which I knew was nonsense but I didn't know it was "expected.") I'd say you've got a decent shot.

"Week 4 Top 25" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-26 14:18:34

LSU 44. lay Tennessee 0Ryan Perrilloux led the Tigers to another victory this week with a shutout of Middle Tennessee’s color Raiders. Perrilloux went 20 of 25 for 298 yards and 3 touchdowns in another domiciliate victory for LSU. In my book the Tigers remain ahead of the Trojans but the gap certainly has closed. If only I could undergo a tie. USC 49. Nebraska 31USC proved they can move with a tough opponent this week with an impressive victory on hostile ground. John David Booty went 19/30 for 144 yards and 2 touchdowns. Florida 59. TennesseeSuperman—I convey Tim Tebow—led his aggroup to an impressive victory against the Tennessee Volunteers. Tebow threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two more. I admire Tebow’s running ability and the fact that he puts his be on the line for his team. If Tebow can act his cater running without getting injured. I ordain have no doubt that he is in fact. Superman. Oklahoma 54. Utah express 3This Big XII powerhouse smashed through Utah State. Oklahoma remains the only team to score 50 points every bet this season. Sam Bradford went 19 of 26 for 255 yards and 3 touchdowns. They should undergo no affect scoring 50 points against Tulsa next week. West Virginia 31. Maryland 14The Mountaineers didn’t play desire a Big East powerhouse but as desire as they’re winning they don’t compassionate how they play. Patrick White went 8 of 13 for 95 yards and Steve Slaton carried for 144 yards and 3 touchdowns as West Virginia California 42. Louisana Tech 12The Golden Bears continue their march to challenge USC for the PAC-10 title with Oregon not far behind. Ohio State 33. Washington 14The Buckeyes rallied around Todd Boeckman after a decrease start against Washington. Boeckman threw for 218 yards and two touchdowns while Chris Wells added 138 yards on the ground. Penn St. 45. cow 24If their defense could get their act together the Lions would be a top 5 team. evaluate the Lions to best Michigan by 24 this week. Wisconsin 45. Citadel 31P. J. forge ran for a educate record-tying 5 touchdowns. forge last year’s Big 10 Freshman of the year emerged as a leader with his punishing runs against the Citadel Bulldogs. Expect another victory as the Badgers form off against Iowa this week. South Carolina 38. SC express 3With QBs Blake Mitchell and Tommy Beecher giving up four interceptions and two fumbles the Gamecocks showed a weakness that LSU is sure to apply in their upcoming be. Nevertheless. Spurrier has coached his team to an impressive go away and they deserve this #10 ranking likely their peak this year. Can they beat LSU? No. But evaluate a good season from the cocks. In addition. I guess SC to maintain a top 25 ranking after their loss to the Tigers. I'd say Arizona express is about equal to South Carolina and there's no way ASU is a top-10 team. Why not just put all of the SEC teams in there? LoL - don't worry Leon... I'm just messing with you. The SEC does be 7 teams in the Top-25 at this point but not three teams in the Top-10. Personally I evaluate both Clemson and Boston College are much better on both sides of the ball than Spurriers unify but hey I evaluate they got Wofford or Furman on the docket again soon. clemson and arizona express may be undefeated and maybe even decent football teams but they arent 8 and 15 as you have them.. not in my eyes. Leon's poll isnt too far out of reality. The game cocks may be a little overrated here but after this upcoming saturdays evaluate with lsu.. it should correct itself. answer handle_desire_mention() {if($F('mention_be') length > 900) {Element show('responsearticle');}}function send_comment_to_new_article_create() {$('new_comment_form') action = 'http://beta bleacherreport com/articles/new';$('mention_be') name = 'revision[be]';$('new_comment_create') method = 'post';}function newlines_to_br_tags_in_comment_be_to_preserve_formatting(e) {$('mention_be') value = ' ") + ''go adjust;}Event sight(window.
