Andy Blevins' story.
One in there Americans in their mid-twenties attended but did not finish college.
Only 41 percent of low-income students entering a four year college managed to graduate within five years. (66% of high income did).
75 percent of students enrolling in community colleges said they hoped to transfer to a four year institution. But only 17 percent of those made the switch within five year. The rest were out working or still studying toward the two year degree.

Smart People Attract Smart People (and Money)
This article is fascinating:
A great paradox of our age is that despite the declining cost of connecting across space, more people are clustering together in cities. The explanation of that strange fact is that globalization and technological change have increased the returns on being smart, and humans get smart by being around other smart people.
Dense, smart cities like Seattle succeed by attracting smart people who educate and employ one another.
A person’s earnings rise by more than 7 percent as the share of people in his or her metropolitan area with a college degree increases by 10 percent, holding that person’s own level of education constant. Educated neighbors are particularly valuable in dense cities, where contact is more common.
Skilled people have often chosen to come to already educated cities, and the share of Seattle adults with college degrees has risen to 56 percent from an already high 47 percent in 2000.

A Work in an Anthology, Reference, or Collection
Works may include an essay in an edited collection or anthology, or a chapter of a book. The basic form is for this sort of citation is as follows:
Lastname, First name. "Title of Essay." Title of Collection. Ed. Editor's Name(s). Place of Publication: Publisher, Year. Page range of entry. Medium of Publication.
Some examples:

Swanson, Gunnar. "Graphic Design Education as a Liberal Art: Design and Knowledge in the University and The 'Real World.'" The Education of a Graphic Designer. Ed. Steven Heller. New York: Allworth Press, 1998. 13-24. Print.
Note on Cross-referencing Several Items from One Anthology: If you cite more than one essay from the same edited collection, MLA indicates you may cross-reference within your works cited list in order to avoid writing out the publishing information for each separate essay. You should consider this option if you have several references from a single text. To do so, include a separate entry for the entire collection listed by the editor's name as below:
Rose, Shirley K., and Irwin Weiser, eds. The Writing Program Administrator as Researcher. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 1999. Print.
Then, for each individual essay from the collection, list the author's name in last name, first name format, the title of the essay, the editor's last name, and the page range:

iv. Examples of solutions from the Yakima Valley are GOOOOLDENNNNNNN.
3. Why is this important in Yakima?
a. So far, the unemployment is up, but not as up as most places.
b. So far, housing prices are down, but not as far down as most places.
c. But…
d. 42-50 percent on public assistance.
e. ENI ranking.
f. Right now, the budget is being balanced by cutting social services and public employment (teachers, firefighters, police, parks, schools etc) vs. asking people who start out on third base to share the pain. In fact, through bailouts and tax cuts, we've sweetened the pot for them. This is somewhat of an editorial, but it's also factual.

8. What is happening in budgets RIGHT NOW to these ideas?
a. What does this do to our solutions?
b. What doesn’t cost money, but still works?
c. What costs money, works and is worth raising taxes? Just because it’s not popular doesn’t mean you can’t argue for it. Recent attempts to raise taxes on candy and pop and bottled water/income tax on wealthy (200-400k), and nationally on 250k+.
d. The idea of "class warfare" is a dangerous one, but it goes both ways.
e. I'll show you some of my cards. Sunday school and growing up here. But, as a teacher, I strive to for objectivity. I go to extremes in this regard and take pride in it as a professional obligation.
f. I get most excited when I'm reading a paper if the writing is well organized, logical, researched, anticipates opposition and questions. Not whether I agree with the ideas politically. I'm looking for good writing/thinking.

Where to cut the budget, according to David Brooks:
A second austerity principle is this: Trim from the old to invest in the young.
We should adjust pension promises and reduce the amount of money spent on health

a. Find 2-4. (For rough drafts)
i. Put in your own words
b. Find page numbers and quotes to help define these obstacles.
i. Explain the quotes
2) What are the solutions to those obstacles as presented in the books
a. Find 1-2 solutions
i. Put in your own words (for rough drafts)
b. Find page numbers and quotes to help define the solutions
i. Explain the quotes (For final drafts)
3) What are the solutions you or your classmates have come up with?
a. Put 1-2 in your own words
b. Find evidence outside the books to support your ideas.
One Way to Organize This Essay
Paragraph 1: Intro (hook, background, thesis)
Paragraph 2: Obstacle 1 (define using texts)
Solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)
Other solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)
Option for each body paragraph—add an example of the obstacle and solution from the texts or from other source.
For ex: (obstacle) Angela Whitiker struggled to complete her degree because she lacked reliable childcare. –find quote that explains family structure from CM and/or childcare dilemma in N&D’d
(solution) She would have been able to complete her degree more quickly if she didn’t have that concern and instead could have put her children in a clean, safe, predictable environment, like the ones proposed by Ready By Five.—quote Ready by Five website.
Paragraph 3: Obstacle 2 (define using texts)
Solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)
Other solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)
Paragraph 4: Obstacle 3 (define using texts)
Solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)
Other solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)
Paragraph 5: Obstacle 4 (define using texts)
Solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)
Other solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)
Paragraph 6: C-A: Some might say, others might say, I say. (Right before end or right after intro is a good place for this) Acknowledging the other ideas is a good start. Conceding/Defeating them as top priorities will be more credible and convincing, thus putting you on the fast track to better score for C-A.
Paragraph 7: Conclusion

Educational Needs Index
Here's a site that tracks Educational Needs.
Yakima Country ranks 59th (from the bottom) out of 2071 overall and 32nd in Education in particular. (And last year we were 100th. That's right, we've gotten worse. Jeez.) The next county in Washington is 291, then 423.
My first reaction: I've got to get out of this place. My second reaction: Well, if I want to make a difference, this is the place to be.
In any case, it definitely shows us why it's critical to understand Angela Whitiker's situation. We're living in one of the poorest, least educated places in the country and it's up to us to figure out a way to change this.
The three factors drive the ENI model and the variables that make up each factor are:
Educational Factor – Indicators assess the educational capacity of a region’s adult population. Indicators measure the percent of the population with a high school degree, associate’s degree, and bachelor’s degree, and a measure of the educational attainment gap between younger and older members of the workforce.
Economic Factor - Indicators in this category assess the degree of economic challenges facing counties. Indicators measure the percent of population in poverty, unemployment rates, the existing earnings capacity of residents, and dependence upon manufacturing and extraction jobs.
Population Factor – Indicators assess the present population growth issues facing the county and potential need for increased emphasis on human capital development to address changing demographics. Indicators measure recent and project population growth, population aged 19 and younger as a percent of the total population, population aged 20-44, and the relative size of an area’s at-risk minority population (African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans).

The Cost of War
http://costofwar.com/en/
This is an issue raised by Friedman in "Their Moon Shot and Ours".
You can use the interactive feature to see "Trade Offs".
This is clearly and "anti-war" site, I guess.
But I'd like to leave that debate for someplace other than the comments.
It's just eye opening and a measure of priorities, whether you agree with them or not.

4. Are there more than two sides? (This would make your English teacher feel very good about you).
8. A note about how to fit in TWIF
Best if you can set it up as each paragraph addressing an issue raised by TWIF (Collaborators, synthesizers, explainers, etc).
It can also work if you are using TWIF as a set up or in conclusion to the research. This means you might use TWIF in a paragraph at the beginning of the essay to set up the concepts inherent in a globalized economy, or to define terms you will want to use later. (If there’s time I’ll show a sample of this).
A very broad outline of this would be:
1. Intro and How would this impact the Yakima Valley? Thesis
2. Friedman says
3. Others say
4. I say
5. Conclusion
Rough Drafts (4 pages=20pts) due Monday. Bring four copies (I'll take points off this time if you don't have four copies).
1. Math Scores and Community College Students
2. Your Brain Lies to You.
3. The Big Dilly-Dally
4. Bonus Points—V Week, others.
5. Conclusions powerpoint/Amazon search inside
6. Thesis statement for essay two with clickers.
7. Counter-Arguments for the topics?
1. Take your thesis and try to write it as an opposite statement.
2. Take your thesis and see if you can figure out what the other side might say.
3. Take your thesis and find the weakness of it according to TWIF.

Does it have a "works cited" section?
Are there clues to bias?
Do they over-rely on emotion?
Does it looks cheesy?
Wikipedia
Guest workers in WaPo
Guest workers won't work
Guest Workers won't work
