Five years ago, the Nellie Mae Education Foundation established the New England ABE-to-College Transition Project – the first grantmaking program within our Adult Literacy initiative. Our goal was to bridge the gap between academic work required for a GED certificate and skills required for college-level work. We developed a partnership with the renowned New England Literacy Resource Center (NELRC), whose expertise in educational transitions for adults inspired and shaped our undertaking. So far, the 25 ABE-to-College Transition programs that received our grants and participated in technical assistance activities with NELRC have prepared more than 1,600 GED recipients for college. Recently, Dr. Julia Gittleman of Mendelsohn, Gittleman & Associates completed an evaluation of the Project. What resulted is one of the few studies that documents GED recipients’ access to higher education — The New England ABE-to-College Transition Project Evaluation Report.

    MIT Admissions Spoof Webpage

    About MIT When I attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), it was the greatest technology university in the world, of all time, particularly in Information Technology (IT), which includes cybersecurity. Now it has been taken over by those who don't care about its technological greatness, many non­MIT alum, and only want to use it to forward their leftist liberal political agenda. An organization is only as good, or as bad, as those who lead it, so let's meet some of MIT's leaders. Along the way, why this is the MIT Admissions page will be explained. Leo Rafael Reif, MIT President In the late 1930's Reif's parents, Eastern European Jews, fled the Nazis to Venezuela. Reif is not an MIT alum. He was educated in the third­rate education system of Venezuela and in California, both where he was heavily indoctrinated into leftist ideology. While nothing could force him to return to the hellhole that is Venezuela, he still embraces the leftist ideology of Venezuela's destroyer Hugo Chavez. After I was at MIT, it decided to pick its president based only on a penis and pigmentation check and picked non­MIT­alum Susan Hockfield to meet this new­found singular agenda of diversity. After she resigned (and Reif knows why), next on the diversity checklist was an African­American or Hispanic. Reif didn't think he could pass for African­American so, borrowing a scam from non­Native American Elizabeth Warren, he pretended to be Hispanic and became MIT President. (I took high school Spanish but that doesn't make me Hispanic.) Too bad for all those real African­American and Hispanic MIT alum.

    Silenced by a Pistol John Hampden Pleasants, Slavery and the Disappearance of Dissent in Virginia

    Silenced by a Pistol John Hampden Pleasants, Slavery and the Disappearance of Dissent in Virginia Suzanne Cooper Guasco, Ph.D. Queens University of Charlotte 7-17-2015 Cooper Guasco 1 On the wet and dreary morning of Wednesday, February 25, 1846 John Hampden Pleasants, the former editor of the Richmond Whig, and Thomas Ritchie, Jr., the co-editor of the Richmond Enquirer, met on the canal tow path in Manchester City, just across the James River from Richmond. Armed with pistols, swords and bowie knives, both men faced one another squarely, separated by a few hundred feet while their seconds attempted to negotiate an amicable resolution to the conflict. When they failed, Pleasants initiated the duel by calmly walking directly toward Ritchie. Initially, both men refrained from discharging their weapons, but once Pleasants was within range, Ritchie opened fire “throwing down his pistols as fast as he fired.” Certainly several of his shots hit their mark, but Pleasants marched forward “without falling in the least,” refusing to fire “his first pistol” until he was within ten feet of his opponent. Pleasants then closed in on Ritchie, “struck him with his pistol in the mouth” and lunged forward with his sword cane, intent on running him through. “Ritchie, in the meantime, was constantly firing, until at last he drew his sword” and the men “were parted.” Pleasants then fell to the ground, struck by six bullets and wounded in the hand, arm, chest and leg. Thomas Dean and Jefferson Archer placed the mortally wounded Pleasants in a carriage and transported him back to his room in the city.

Scott can be reached at: [email protected] Pre-Publication Review Copy 2 (c) 2012 Scott White This book is dedicated to Eve, Kira, Zachary and Benjamin. They are the lights of my life. Pre-Publication Review Copy 3 (c) 2012 Scott White Dear reader, This is NOT the book I really want to write. This book is called Don’t Do Anything That Can Kill You – Yet Another College Guide, I want to write Don’t Do Anything That Can Kill You – NOT Another College Guide. The world does not need another college guide; there are too many already. Please read this letter before the book because I want to tell you what this book is, why it is the way it is, what I hope to develop instead, and how you can help make that happen. The first half of this book contains essays that present my perspective on the college application process, and suggests attitudes you might adopt too. The second half contains a collection of reference materials that I hand out to students and their parents. I think all of it is useful although some of it is out-of-date. I am not sure I’d want to include this in the book I really want to write because it can be found elsewhere. It is in this edition because that way I can just give this book to my students rather than a loose collection of articles.

    History and Facts on Virginia

    History and Facts on Virginia Capitol Building, Richmond 3 HISTORY AND FACTS ON VIRGINIA In 1607, the first permanent English settlement in America was established at Jamestown. The Jamestown colonists also established the first representative legislature in America in 1619. Virginia became a colony in 1624 and entered the union on June 25, 1788, the tenth state to do so. Virginia was named for Queen Elizabeth I of England, the “Virgin Queen” and is also known as the “Old Dominion.” King Charles II of England gave it this name in appreciation of Virginia’s loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War of the mid-1600s. Virginia is designated as a Commonwealth, along with Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. In 1779, the capital was relocated from Williamsburg to Richmond. The cornerstone for the Virginia Capitol Building was laid on August 18, 1785, and the building was completed in 1792. Modeled after the Maison Carrée at Nîmes, France, the Capitol was the first public building in the United States to be built using the Classical Revival style of architecture. Thomas Jefferson designed the central section of the Capitol, including its most outstanding feature: the interior dome, which is undetectable from the exterior. The wings were added in 1906 to house the Senate and House of Delegates. In 2007, in time to receive the Queen of England during the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown Settlement, the Capitol underwent an extensive restoration, renovation and expansion, including the addition of a state of the art Visitor’s Center that will ensure that it remains a working capitol well into the 21st Century.
