I keep wondering why the so-called major candidates don't want to communicate about impeachment. There is terrific demand from the American populate to get Cheney and Bush out of office but those folks just don't seem to want to discus it. One obvious reason is that the Republicans make such great targets if allowed to stay in charge until the election. There could be another reason that every one is carefully trying to avoid talking about. Hillary Clinton wants to be the first woman president of the United States. If Cheney and furnish were impeached as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi would be the first woman President of the US. It just could be that the Clintons and their political allies are putting enough pressure on the Democratic celebrate to keep impeachment "off the table". Since it is hard to get elected without the support of the Party most of the other candidates could be going along. The Corporate Press would go along with this because they have huge amounts of money invested in Clinton. Oboma and Edwards to advance their own agendas. (go to Opensecrets org and see for your self.) Either way this is unconscionable! We undergo our military personal dieing daily in Iraq. We have an imperial President who is running the country using vetoes. Letters of Intent. Executive Orders and National Security Directives to sideline Congress and a Vice President who is beating the drums for war with Iran! Don't the Democrats realize that this is going to backfire? If they keep this up,if they don't start responding to the will of the people,why should we put these particular candidates in office? The line that Congress has better things to do is so stale that even the Vice President's office is using it.

College Confidential is dedicated to providing the best free college admissions information available on the Web through our many articles and this discussion forum. This welcome message goes away when you and log in! Ok. I have searched through a lot of past posts to learn about schools. My question is about this tier system. It is clear what schools are considered to be at the top level. But what or who makes that determination?Is it simply based on selectivity? Endowment? Also how do you determine "2nd tier". We are looking at these schools: Loomis. Governor's. NMH. St George's and Westminster. They all appear to be on that next level. Am I correct? How does a family without BS connections find out this kind of information? Thanks in advance. I wouldn't concern yourself with "tiers." As you suggest it is hard to know how these tiers are determined. There are many knowledgeable people on this forum. I would suggest that you post some information about your child and what type of school you are looking for geographic considerations etc and you will probably get some good suggestions. You can also work with an educational consultant. Here is the website for their professional organization - - just be sure you get someone who specializes in prep school admissions rather than college admissions. Technically it's hard to say which schools is in which tier. There are a lot of factors that play a part--endowment. # of courses/honors/APs selectivity. ECs available facilities college matriculation etc. It's just this some sort of accepted belief that if the acceptance rate is below 30% it's a top tier school. They're all known for being selective elite. "little ivies" and most of all they provide the most opportunities. No one makes that determination. 2nd tier are those with 40-60%. Not to say that these schools aren't good too. IMO the rankings are just opinions. So just decide for your own rank the schools yourselves based on what you think is best for you and forget about what other people say. If you're asking about acceptance rates then St. George's is a bit lower. Governor's too. But if you look at the bigger picture yes they're all great school. Different but good. How does a family get this information? Easy. Ask around. This is funny because I was thinking about this exact issue last night when -- oddly enough -- I was visiting with some people who had a regular old color TV and a DVD player that had "Progressive Scanning" as a feature -- so important a feature that those words are emblazoned in silver on the DVD player. Sorry fun is fun but we can talk about this in terms of the Bunkel Index and WBTY Indices later... When you're comparison shopping you put things side-by-side and think. "Oh look I can have this and that and the other feature on my DVD player." Progressive scanning is an excellent feature because it steps up the signal from the DVD player to the television so that an HDTV set displays all the detail it can possibly display. If you've got an HDTV set you want -- perhaps need -- progressive scanning for your DVD player. That usually means you need a first tier DVD player. But if you've got a regular television the image output you see won't be improved one iota by progressive scanning. The image is controlled or limited by the capabilities of the television itself. Progressive scanning isn't going to hurt the picture. But there's really no call to go shopping -- and making sacrifices for other features to stay in your budget -- by seeking out a progressive scan DVD player. In the end after all your shopping you bring your DVD player home hook up all the cables figure out how to set the clock and watch a show. Most of the time you're not even watching a DVD on your television as it is. But when you do you're not watching it in a big showroom where your Magnasui TV and Omega-3 DVD player aren't quite as brilliant and spectacular as the Sony "Master Series" Plasma HDTV flat screen TV and the matching Sony "Director's Edition" DVD player (with progressive scanning natch). You're back in your den watching "The Price Is Right" and Carol Merrill looks as pretty as ever to you because the picture is just right when it's not compared to that Sony combination you don't need. In that case sitting in your den while folding clothes the Magnasui-Omega-3 combination is perfect. And as far as you're concerned once you've left the showroom and returned to your real world setting where you're free from the pressures of keeping up with the Joneses and peeking in at what other American households are buying into.. your DVD player which does everything you want and expect of it is nothing less than a Tier One DVD player. So it goes for people who attend the Hill School or Episcopal HS or some of the other schools that -- just yesterday -- were classified here as Tier Two schools. If you're at those schools you're getting a full education. One of the best possible. Hopefully exactly the education that you're looking for. And maybe you were in the showroom during the application season kicking the tires at Exeter or Andover or Choate but once your high school education is underway.. you're done with that comparison shopping and you're too busy getting a Tier One education at the school that fits your needs to even be bothered with the concepts of Tier One and Tier Two that matter only conceptually in the showroom of the Prep School Admissions board of College Confidential. Some creepy salesman let my elderly friends buy a progressive scanning DVD player. What a jerk. I'm sure he told them that it was the best there is. And they probably looked at one connected to a Sony plasma flat-screen HDTV and decided that they'd like a top tier DVD player too. If only they had a better salesman who understood that they're working with equipment that will perform just as fine with other more sensible DVD players as it will with any top tier DVD player. What's top tier for the guy at Mel's Audio-Video Emporium is different from what's top tier back at home in the real world. Rating and ranking of prep schools is a very sensitive issue. 8 years ago USNews tried to rank preps as it does for colleges and got stonewalled by an association of boarding schools led by one somewhat secretive school. I recently ranked about 20 elite boarding schools and 5 key day schools on college placement success as determined by actual matriculations over the past 5 years. Obtaining accurate and verifiable data was the most difficult task. Ranking by tiers can be done for certain aspects but not for claiming that one group of schools is superior to the others in all respects. Rating and ranking by tiers can be done for particular aspects such as endowment facilities selectivity and elite college placement. Ratings and rankings cannot determine the best school for an individual. Most prep schools send out "brag sheets" touting their elite college placement successes as an attempt to increase applications. I discovered that these "brag sheets" focused only on the top 10% or so from each class. The Wall St. Journal rankings focused only on 6 of 8 Ivies. MIT & Stanford placements to rank prep schools. My rating system evaluated one hundred (100%) percent of all U. S college matriculations. The results showed some surprises. To the OP: St. George's has one of the best college placement offices in the country. St. Paul's. Andover. Deerfield and Groton were in a class above the others with respect to college matriculation success. But Exeter has the highest endowment. Hotchkiss has grueling academics and superb students. Each school has its own culture and strengths and weaknesses. With respect to the original post (OP) only St. George's School made the Top 15 schools based on U. S college matriculation success. For the most part what is considered a Tier One vs a Tier Two school is determined in the marketplace and reflected in verifiable stats such as endowment selectivity and college placement. But many factors cannot be easily quantified and require a personal visit to each school for evaluation according to one's needs priorities likes and dislikes. For example. I find The Culver Academies to be outstanding in many respects but the military lifestyle is not for everyone. Single sex schools often are outstanding at developing leadership but again most students prefer coeducational environments. Tabor Academy offers sailing and seamanship and if that is one's priority then Tabor has to be rated as a top three school. This is where the Bunkel Index is superior. Bunkel datasets are far more extensive and the algorithm actually matches student goals and expectations to final outcomes. As we all know a student who is best suited for a small liberal arts college could very well be steered to an Ivy.. which would be impressive to some but Bunkel algorithms would recognize that as a failed match not a feather in the school's college counseling cap. Only WBTY Indices -- which I think are flawed for other reasons that I won't go into while fun is fun is having fun at the Harvard-Yale game -- comes close to giving this kind of extensive and critical "one-size-fits-one" approach to schools. And of course that's just one of over 250 categories of information that can be considered and weighted according to the individual user's preferences if you purchase the Bunkel Software. My custom web mall has the Bunkel Software on sale. For friends here on CC. I give away my 15% web mall commission which reduces your final price (excluding shipping & handling) to just under $700. Sounds pricey. I know but it includes one year's worth of monthly data updates. And it's a bargain compared to the fees one could pay an educational consultant. If you apply to 14 schools that are not a good match for your child or just the 1 Bunkel-suggested school that's the ideal match you'll see how valuable and powerful this product is. Ratings and rankings are especially important for foreign students who do not have the time or possibly the resources to visit any or more than a few. U. S boarding schools even though they are determined to attend U. S schools. Several boarding schools were concerned about making college placement rankings available in Asia. Asia is the primary growth market for U. S boarding schools which hold TABS recruiting events throughout Asia each year. The primary concern for most Asian students is getting into the most selective U. S universities. Much of the information provided at the Asian boarding school fairs constitutes little more than "brag sheet statistics" much more akin to a sales presentation than to a meaningful portrayal enabling one to fairly evaluate each school. I am not trying to criticize but rather to point out the need for verifiable and comprehensive ratings for certain potential students. I'll use two schools where I have no current or former affiliation to try to explain it- Andover and the Hill School. Almosat all of the students at Andover are top top students. The Hill school has more of a range. However the top students at Andover and Hill are all going to get world class educations and go to the most prestigious universities. You just will have a less competitive group at the bottom at Hill. Warriorboy's list has quite a range within the list and some of them are too small to have a substantial group of top students. I would strongly urge international applicants to use an agency. Once you factor in tuition travel etc. this is a $150K+ investment. Certainly it's worth someone doing the research into which school is the right fit for a specific child. D'yer thanks as always for your fine analysis. None of the ranking systems - high school nor college - take into account where students start and where they end up. Is it really so amazing if a school can take the 12 smartest ninth graders in the universe and get them into Harvard four years later? What's harder to measure is what a school does with the raw materials it's provided when the raw material is well still raw.

write your e-mail in the box above click "bid" (and act to the confirm email) to receive weekly emails of commentary images encouragement and questions for reflection as you go through the One Year Bible. There is no cost to you for this - it's remove! We wish you can join 6,258 of us going through the One Year Bible! Old Testament - Ezekiel chapter 37 starts with a fascinating vision! This vision of the valley of dry bones is an allusion to the exiled Israelites. As God brings life and breath into the bones he will do the same for the exiles and bring them approve to their domiciliate land. In a sense bring them approve to life! Today in our lives do we experience that the ennoble is the Lord? (gratify concede this picture below.. when I saw it I couldn't help posting it up.. sometimes you just have to put all kinds of different facts & info out there for people who pull into your parking lot. :) Verses 15-23 are great - discussing the reunification of the two kingdoms of Israel since the time of Solomon. Israel ordain change state one kingdom again. And verses 24 through 28 inform toward the coming Messiah. Jesus. compose 26 stands out - Have you entered into this covenant of peace with God? The everlasting pledge? undergo you opened the door to Jesus in your heart? Do you hear him knocking? Maybe late at night do you comprehend Jesus knocking? Offering you an everlasting pledge of peace? ordain you open the door of your heart? Ezekiel chapter 38 is very interesting with a prophesy against Gog of the land of Magog. It will help you to experience that Gog is mentioned in Revelation chapter 20 verses 7 & 8 as follows - "When the thousand years are over. Satan ordain be released from his prison and ordain go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth--Gog and Magog--to interact them for contend. In number they are like the sand on the seashore." This can help give some context for this chapter. This may be an end-times type of prophecy from Ezekiel. compose 22 tells us - "I will punish you and your hordes with disease and bloodshed; I ordain send torrential rain hailstones blast and burning sulfur!" "Thus ordain I show my greatness and holiness and I ordain make myself known to all the nations of the world. Then they will experience that I am the ennoble!" New Testament - James' verses today again are all so powerful... I am enjoying this schedule immensely. Chapter 1 compose 27 is a great reminder to compassionate for the poor amongst us - "Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles and react to let the world alter us." Are you caring for those in their time of affect? Are you refusing to let the world alter us? Do you care for orphans and widows? "So you see it isn't enough just to have faith. Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all--it is dead and useless." Or paraphrased faith without works is dead. It's important of course to bequeath that works alone do not save us - only faith does through the grace of God. But works naturally go through that saving faith. They are a natural by-product and demonstrate that we undergo a true and living faith. Psalms - Psalm 117 is the shortest of all the Psalms - and the shortest chapter in the entire Bible. This sing is said to basically be one long Alleluia. :) Actually compose 1 has a very important message - This demonstrates that God was very interested in the salvation of the Gentiles and all the nations in the Old Testament. And not just in the New Testament as we get to the book of Acts. This was part of the plan all along... James chapter 2 compose 17 is a famous one - "So you see it isn't enough just to undergo faith. Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all--it is dead and useless." ~~ This is soooooo good on so many levels!!! Good deeds is so important! You can show your faith; by going to perform or reading the Bible.. but faith has to go from the within. Reading the Bible or spreading the evince is something we can all do we can do that for months or even for years but you have to conclude it! It has to show itself by good deeds! For me personally it's not only faith or good deeds.. it's a relationship. A relationship built on faith. And both are within my heart.. my faith and my relationship both live in my heart. Great reading today. I liked the dry bones analogy in Eze... its like us before Christ dead useless bones. Then Christ breathes/brings life into us. His spirit awakens are souls. We are now 3-dimensional instead of 2D the way God intended us body mind AND animate! Of course James is a great book! yes we must be doers not just hearers. You see sooo many 'religious' ppl talk but their lives contradict them! our actions are our witness!! Not really our words. Before i came back to the Lord the strongest witnesses were the ones who i saw act different. One girl Kristin i worked with i knew she was Christian but she never said much to me about it. But i saw in her this peace! i wanted it!!! this joy peace gentleness change intensity spirit meekness this Christ-like beauty it was Christ in her.. thats what i wanted sooo bad! I bequeath thinking. "she HAS the secret!! why doesnt she share her secret?".. i knew what it was= Christ but i remember wondering why she didnt express others her secret to what she had. But I probly wouldnt have listened. i didnt pay much attention to populate who walked around talking about Jesus because talk is communicate. My inform its not necessarily witnessing by words we should but we ARE a watch! Our actions our lifestyles! Nonbelievers are watching us! Lets try to live a life where our go matches our talk.. and people be at you and say: I want what they havE!!! You dont even need to express them... Christ reveals Himself to the blind through others. He's awesome like that! =)
