The Scoop: Quite possibly this fall’s most hotly anticipated theatrical release, Gone Girl stars Ben Affleck as the husband of a missing woman who slowly becomes a key suspect in her disappearance and likely murder.
Pop Quiz: Gone Girl is based on author Gillian Flynn’s wildly successful third novel of the same name. Flynn first started making a name for herself in the publishing world while writing for what magazine?
Answer: While it may not be the most respected of publications, Flynn got her big start in the publishing world while writing television reviews for Entertainment Weekly. Everybody’s got to start somewhere (not that working at EW is too shabby of a beginning).

A dog bite claim is a personal injury claim (or, in the most serious cases, a wrongful death claim) that should not be taken lightly. Regardless of whether you are a victim or a defendant, you need to be aware of potential defenses to dog bite claims that can be used either in court or during settlement negotiations. Following are some of the most commonly used defenses.
In states that hold a dog owner strictly liable for his dog’s aggressive behavior this defense can only be used to assert that the defendant’s dog did not commit the attack. Other states, however, apply a “one bite rule” that exempts a dog owner from liability if he had no reason to believe that the dog was aggressive before the victim was bitten. In these states, the owner can successfully defend the lawsuit if he can submit enough evidence to show that the owner should have known that the dog was dangerous.
In states that require the victim to show that the owner was at fault in order to win, the victim might claim that the defendant violated an animal control law by, for example, “allowing the dog to roam freely without a leash”.
In many states, proving this much would be enough to hold the dog owner liable under the “negligence per se” doctrine. The dog owner might defend against this claim by asserting that the dog escaped its enclosure in a manner that the owner could not have anticipated (by digging underneath the owner’s fence, for example) and that the owner did not “allow” the dog to roam freely. In states that hold owners strictly liable for damages caused by their dogs, however, this defense will be useless.
Certain types of medical experts can examine a dog bite victim’s wounds and reach scientific conclusions about how the attack proceeded – a puncture would suggests a different type of attack than a tear wound, for example). If these conclusions contradict the victim’s testimony, they could be used to discredit the victim.
Regardless of whether you are a victim of a dog bite or a defendant against a dog bite claim, a skilled dog bite attorney can help you prevail, whether the case in concluded in court or at the settlement table.

‘Long Island Medium’ – her dance with the dead is turning heads!
‘Long Island Medium’ – her dance with the dead is turning heads!
The “Long Island Medium” continues to gather more fans as people are becoming mesmerized with this new show on TLC. Teresa Caputo not only amazes viewers with her abilities to talk to the dead as the “Long Island Medium,” but she hooks you in because her own personality is bigger than life. While the jury’s still out for many, when it comes to Caputo’s psychic gift, each week more believers are born after watching this medium from Long Island at work, as seen on a clip from AOL News.
Teresa Caputo is not shy and she certainly doesn’t sugar coat a thing. Whatever it is she is hearing from the dead, it comes out the way she’s heard it, bringing on as many laughs as tears to the people she’s reading. While people say she talks to the dead, it’s more like the dead talk to her, so much so, that she can’t get away from it at times. Even a mundane shopping trip turns into a reading on aisle 5 of a supermarket because the dead are urging this medium to stop the lady who just put a box of cereal in her cart.
The “Long Island Medium” has caught the eye of the nation and she’s building her fan base up each week as she continues her dance with the dead. Last Sunday, when Teresa went to “cleanse a house” with sage, which is something that’s done to get rid of unwanted spirits, she had one spirit hang on who wasn’t going anywhere. Teresa visited a woman who just moved into a new home and she called Teresa because she felt like something was off in the house. While she couldn’t explain what it was, the feeling was disturbing to her and the house cleansing with sage was performed by the “Long Island Medium,” to rid that feeling.
The woman’s dead father was there and was adamant about Teresa giving his daughter, the home owner, a message. It caught the woman off guard because Teresa wasn’t asked to come and give her a reading, just to cleanse her house. Teresa hit the nail on the head when it came to knowing personal stuff about the dead father, so her house cleansing trip turned into the dead passing on a message. This is how Teresa’s life goes, when she least expects it the dead are there wanting her to pass along a message, sometimes to strangers on the street.
The “Long Island Medium” gives people that closure with their dead loved ones, which they might not have gotten for one reason or another on their own. Another uncanny bit of information that Teresa seems to pull from nowhere is how that person died and who was with them when they passed away. It isn’t guess work on her part; she just knows it as if she was there when it happened. Teresa is much more believable than any of the other psychics who’ve graced the TV screen in the past, just the first 10 minutes into any of her “Long Island Medium” episodes is evidence of this.
Her readings aren’t generic, they’re tailor made. She really goes into great detail with information that pertains to the dead individuals, with things that would be impossible for her to know unless that dead person was really there in spirit telling her these things. The only explanation for this is that Teresa Caputo really does have the dead around her!
Sunday nights on TLC come alive with Teresa talking to the dead at 10pm ET.

ATV, or all-terrain vehicles, are designed for fun, adventure, and having a good time. However, to call them all-terrain may be a misnomer; there are plenty of terrain types that are not well suited for ATVs. When an individual who is operating an ATV doesn’t understand this and what off-road trails are safe, isn’t aware of proper operation procedures, or fails to operate an ATV with a high duty of care, an accident can happen. In fact, every year in the United States, there are thousands of ATV-related injuries, and hundreds of ATV-related deaths reported.
ATV accidents occur for a number of reasons, and can result in myriad injuries. If you are someone who has been involved in an ATV accident in Alabama, contacting our experienced Alabama personal injury attorneys at the offices of Smith & McGhee should be your next step. Our attorneys can help you to understand your rights, options, and how to seek a compensation award that accounts for all of the losses you have suffered.
ATV defects, including defective throttles, tires, fenders, gas tanks, etc.
The type and severity of ATV-related injuries depends on a number of factors, including the force involved, the angle of the accident, protections for the rider (helmet, etc.), and more.
An ATV accident causes more than just physical injuries like those listed above; it also causes serious psychological and economic losses. When a person’s injuries are severe, they may be prevented from going to work and earning a wage, from doing the things that they once loved and enjoyed, from providing for their family or contributing to household duties, and perhaps even from being able to care for themselves on their own. Of course, lost wages, the costs of in-home care, and the costs of medical bills for hospitals stays, medications, surgeries, and more result in huge economic losses for a victim. Economic losses, pain, suffering, and loss of mobility can then lead to psychological injuries, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
All other economic and noneconomic losses you have experienced.
One of the key parts of recovering compensation after an ATV accident is being able to prove the fault of another party. Our lawyers will open an investigation into your case, and will work hard to determine exactly what went wrong and who is to blame. In Alabama, liability is based on the breach of the duty of care, and if you can prove that your accident and injuries would not have occurred but for the negligence of another party, you can hold that party liable for your damages. We can help you to bring forth a claim against another individual, such as another rider who was operating their ATV while intoxicated, or against the manufacturer of an ATV, or ATV part, with a defect that caused the accident.
If you are injured in an ATV accident in Alabama and would like to seek compensation for the value of losses that you have suffered, it is important that you meet with an attorney and initiate the claims process quickly. In Alabama, you only have two years from the date of your injury to bring forth a claim; if you wait longer than two years’ time to file your suit, you will be barred from seeking damages at all.
A day that starts at as fun and adventurous can end in serious injury when negligence and ATVs are involved. If you are the victim of another person’s negligence and you are injured in an ATV accident, or if you lose a family member in an ATV crash, our compassionate lawyers are here to support you. We will work hard for you and your family, and never charge you unless your case is won. For a free consultation, please call our law firm directly at (334) 702-1744.

Question: How many words constitute a fictional short story? Not a short, short story but a short story.
Answer: Generally, a short story is any story under 7,500 words. Anything under 1,000 words is often termed flash fiction.
However, these definitions are not fixed. Sometimes works up to 20,000 words have been called short stories. You have to check with individual publishers (such as literary magazines, websites, contests, etc.) to see what length of stories they are looking for and what terms they are using to describe them (e.g. micro-fiction, novelette, novella, postcard fiction).
At the extreme lower end there are also "six word memoirs," such as this famous one attributed to Hemingway: "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn."

Question: Can a book have too many characters?
Answer: It really doesn't matter how many characters a book has as long as they are engaging.
You need at least one main character whose dilemma the reader can relate to, and an impact character who presents an alternative way to handle the problem (even if this character is imaginary). That's the minimum.
Some novels have many, many characters, if they are long and have a number of subplots. (The Harry Potter series is a recent example.) It all depends how many you need to tell the story or to flesh out the main character's world.
* You must keep your plot moving.
* Publishers may be more inclined to publish a 100,000 word novel by a first-time writer than a 600,000 word novel (which means less space for extra characters).
* It will be easier for you to keep track of 20 characters than 200, and easier for the reader too.
* You don't want redundant characters. If two characters fulfill basically the same function, it may make sense to combine them.
But there's no hard and fast rule. It all depends on your story.

I'm calling mularkey on the OA here. What do you guys get?
let x = score of third game.
solve for x = 64.
Now the sum for the two lowest = 107, but the combo could be anything. Ie. 106, 1 OR 50,57. How can you tell what is the highest score then. Insufficient.
Stmt 2 says the same thing as the first.
I have this gut feeling like I'm totally overlooking a small piece of info here that is making me confused.

A business’s fixed costs are £60 000, selling price per unit is £10, and total variable costs per unit are £2.50. Which ONE of the following is the break-even level of output (to the nearest whole number)?
The answer is 3 – Break even level of output = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit. Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit – Variable costs per unit. Therefore the breakeven level of output is: £60 000 / (£10 – £2.50) = £60 000 / £7.50 = 8 000 units.

When Tesla went public in 2010, the then-seven-year-old electric vehicle maker had delivered around 200 cars. Eight years later and still struggling to turn a profit, CEO Elon Musk would actually love to take the company private again (if he can); while on the side of the world, Tesla’s much younger rival has barely delivered any cars, but it’s eager to put itself under the scrutiny of Wall Street analysts and retail investors.
Nio, a four-year-old Chinese electric car company, debuted on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday. In less than 36 hours, shares rose by an eye-popping 82 percent at its highest point on Thursday.
Analysts were not enthusiastic about Nio prior to the Wednesday’s trading, mainly due to the company’s short operating history and a lack of track record in sales. Nio CFO Louis Hsieh said the doubts were “fair criticism” in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.
That’s partly why Nio priced the IPO near the low-end of expectations at $6.26 a share, which valued the company at $6.4 billion. At this price, Nio expected to raise $1 billion in new capital. Hsieh said the funds are needed to open a new manufacturing facility in Shanghai.
After a few sluggish hours in the morning on Wednesday, shares picked up momentum to close at 5.4 percent higher for the day. And on Thursday, shares shot up to a high of $12 in an almost straight path.
Nio was founded in 2014 as NextEV by Chinese entrepreneur William Li. The company has produced a few eye-catching concept cars, such as an electric supercar called EP9 (priced at $1.48 million each, only 16 were made). But its mass-production line was largely nonexistent until much more recently.
In June of this year, Nio announced on Twitter that it had started to ship its first batch of ES8 Crossovers (priced at $66,000), the first model designed for mass production (like Tesla’s Model 3).
The company has yet to disclose how many cars it has shipped in total. Nio has been taking orders in China since December 2017.

How many people must be there in a room to make the probability 50% that two people in the room have same birthday?
The number is surprisingly very low. In fact, we need only 70 people to make the probability 99.9 %.

The table above shows the number of students in a certain high school class who are boys and the number of students in the class who are studying biology. What is the total number of students in the class?
The answer is B: Statement 2 alone is sufficient but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
Statement 2, on the other hand, sets up a formula for calculating the total number of students in class. Let's take a closer look at that statement.
26 + X = the total number of students.
2X + 18 = the total number of students.
These equations both equal the same thing, so they equal each other.
Now you can go back to one of the original equations, plug in 8 for X, and get the total number of students.
So Statement 2, without Statement 1, tells you there are 34 students total.
Bear in mind that since this is a Data Sufficiency problem, you don't actually need to solve everything, to the point where you get your answer of 34. Once you determine that you have two equivalent expressions for the total number of students, both of which contain the exact same unknown variable (X), you can know that the problem is solvable with the information from Statement 2 alone. And that's all you need to know to correctly select answer B.

Read out the two numbers.
Decide if the first number is "greater than", "less than", or "equal to" the second number.

Question: How do you write a good novel in which the protagonist has an evil story goal?
Answer: Though they are more rare, there are stories told from the point of view of an immoral or villainous person. Shakespeare's Macbeth is one example. A Clockwork Orange is another.
In first person narration, reading such a story feels like having a mobster mistake you for his best friend. On the one hand, it's flattering to have him share his life story with you, while on the other hand you can mentally step back and pass judgment on his crimes.
Traditionally, villainous protagonists were the subject of tragedies. You read such stories to see how their mistakes and character flaws led to their downfall. Tragedies were lessons on how to not lead your life -- don't be greedy, selfish, overly ambitious, etc.
More problematic are the villainous protagonists who win in the end. Their stories can be disconcerting because they offend our natural sense of moral justice. The thematic message they deliver is a sense that something is wrong with the world (society, the universe, God, etc.). A system that would allow a villain to win must itself be a corrupt and immoral system in need of reform. Such a story is disturbing because people like to draw comfort from the notion that they understand the rules of the world, and that understanding makes the world fair and just. Seeing a villain win destroys that illusion.
So I would suggest you decide what your thematic message will be. Are your writing a tragedy or an indictment of the world?
Next, it helps a lot if you can make your villain appealing. This may mean giving him charm, humour, a backstory that evokes sympathy, flaws that the reader can relate to, or perhaps one or two traits that are admirable.
Consider that Ebenezer Scrooge has his endearing qualities (he enjoyed games and dancing). Even Satan in Paradise Lost comes across as admirable for his championing of individual freedom: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
Finally, it may help to give your character an inner conflict. Show us either the arc of his downfall or (if he starts out nasty) let him be pressured to reform but ultimately refuse to change.

My initial reactions are rage and disappointment. My first responses are deep grief and sadness, even anger. What are you thinking? What have you done? What happened?
Yet, I tread carefully. I start to judge you, lash out and condemn you in my mind, but I must not. Judge not that ye be not judged...It is not my place. And truthfully, any temptation to judge causes me to see my own sin and failure so vividly, I dare not go there. But what is this I feel, this nauseousness, this suffocating ache?
I grieve for the One who has blessed you with every good and spiritual gift, the One who made sure there was a way out of temptation, though you didn’t appropriate it…I grieve for the one who has walked beside you these many years and made you a better man and brought you honor in the city gates, covering you with her love and grace…I grieve for the three for whom, you having given the devil a foothold, will battle the enemy’s territorial claim on their souls and hearts. I grieve that you have removed the covering of covenant from your family and the wife of your youth and pitched your tent in enemy territory. I grieve for the pain of the ripped one-flesh.
When did sin take such a hold it made sense to you? Has there been unfinished adolescent business? Is there a wound you are trying to salve?
How have you justified this in your mind and heart? How have you calculated the cost, the sadness and the pain on your family, the church, your friends and sphere of influence, and reconciled it as being worth it?
What are you doing, man who has received the full grace of God for so long and in so many ways, son of a holy man, to repair the heart-wrenching, seemingly endless agony you have caused?
I mourn for the anguish you are bearing, though it is of your own doing. Sometimes we hurt ourselves more than we do anyone else. I mourn for the distance you must be feeling right now from Father, though God promised to never leave us or forsake us, we find it hard to look at Him when we have taken an unholy path. I mourn for the damage this will do to your relationships with the ‘arrows of your quiver’ – your true heritage from God. I lament over the loss of holy love and weep over the consequences you’ll endure for your choices, however beautifully graced this may become, there will be a bitter fruit you must taste. There will be lasting evidence that effects all goings-forward.
â€¦God was there as a witness when you spoke your marriage vows to your young bride, and now you’ve broken those vows, broken the faith-bond with your vowed companion, your covenant wife. God, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage. And what does he want from marriage? Children of God, that’s what. So guard the spirit of marriage within youâ€¦God-of-the-Angel-Armies says, “I hate the violent dismembering of the ‘one flesh’ of marriage.” So watch yourselves. Don’t let your guard down. Don’t cheat.
God is the witness to the union, just as He is the witness on your behalf against the enemy. He is the One who formed you and created you with His intent in mind. He created and chose you – do you comprehend the miracle of this?
And so, because I have needed grace so desperately so much in my life, because Jesus has shown us that only he who is without sin may cast the first stone and that is not me, I am praying for you. I am praying that you will get wisdom and go after it with all your might! I am praying you will flee from the enemy and run to the Hiding Place. I am crying out to God to save you from that enemy, and from yourself (when you are own worst enemy). I pray you will repent fully and humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. I pray that you will experience a brokenness that knocks the wind from your body, a crushing that will release the power and presence of God into this situation. I pray you will let the Truth set you free, no matter how much that hurts or embarrasses you.
I pray that soon, you will be the free-est man I know, whole and restored, in spite of yourself.

A can do a work in 9 days, B can do a work in 7 days, C can do a work in 5 days. A works on the first day, B works on the second day and C on the third day respectively that is they work on alternate days. When will they finish the work ?
Answer : 3 [6 (261/315)] days Explanation : Answer: C) [6 (261/315)] days Explanation: After day 1, A finishes 1/9 of the work.After day 2, B finishes 1/7 more of the total work. (1/9) (1/7) is finished.After day 3, C finishes 1/5 more of total work. Total finished is 143/315.So, after day 6, total work finished is 286/315. Now remaining work = 29 /315 On day 7, A will work again Work will be completed on day 7 when A is working. He must finish 29/315 of total remaining work. Since he takes 9 days to finish the total task, he will need 261/315 of the day. Total days required is 6 (261/315) days.

A nurse put 100 gloves into 4 containers. She puts gloves in the containers in such a way that each container has two more gloves than the one before. How many gloves are in each container?
Answer: 22, 24, 26, and 28 gloves.
Let X be the number of gloves in the first container. Then there are X+2 gloves in the 2-nd container, X+4 gloves in the 3-rd container, and X+6 gloves in the 4-th container. Hence, we have X+X+2+X+4+X+6=100. Solving for X, we get X=22 gloves in the first container, 24 gloves in the 2-nd container, 26 gloves in the 3-rd container and 28 gloves in the 4-th container.

The sum of the squares of three consecutive odd integers is .
Which of the following is the smallest of of these three numbers?
Not able to be determined.
Not able to be determined.
An odd integer can be expressed as because two times any number is an even number and one plus an even number is always odd. We can then write these three consecutive odd integers in terms of as . We can then square each of these numbers and add them together.
Then use binomial expansion to rewrite the expression (better known as FOIL).
We can then combine like terms and set it equal to as given.
This tells us that two possible sets of numbers satisfy this condition: and . It is evident that the sums of the squares of these numbers should be the same, so we cannot determine which set the question is discussing.

256, 64, 16, 4 ... ?
The common difference of consecutive terms is 4.
The fifth term is 2.
The seventh term is .
The sum of the fourth and fifth terms is 20.
The common ratio of consecutive terms is 4.
The seventh term is .
In this geometric sequence, the numbers get smaller; therefore, there will be a fractional ratio. We can determine the common ratio by dividing one of the terms by the term immediately preceding it. In the above sequence, use the smallest numbers, 4 and 16, in order to make the calculation the easiest.
Now, address which four of the five statements are false.
There is a common ratio, not a common difference, in a geometric sequence. Thus the answer choice that mentions "common difference" is incorrect.
The common ratio is , not 4. Thus, the common ratio answer choice is incorrect.
The fifth term is 1 in this sequence, not 2, which eliminates another answer choice.
Finally, the sum of the third and fourth terms is 20, and the sum of the fourth and fifth terms is 5; the only possible correct answer is "The seventh term is ."
In the sequence 3, ____, ____, 24, what numbers can fill the two blanks so that consecutive terms differ by a common ratio?
If the common ratio is r, then the sequence can be rewritten as 3, 3r, , . We see then that , which gives us that r=2. Therefore, the missing terms are 6 and 12.
Plugging our values into this equation we can find the common difference.
Therefore, in this case the common difference is .
Therefore, in this case the common difference is .

Example: A Skateboard is reduced 25% in price in a sale. The old price was $120. Find the new price. First, find 25% of $120: 25% = 25100. And 25100 × $120 = $30. 25% of $120 is $30. So the reduction is $30 . Take the reduction from the original price. $120 − $30 = $90. The Price of the Skateboard in the sale is $90. Calculation Trick. This little rule can make some calculations easier: x... 2) Find the reduced level to establish a finish ground level (FGL) by utilising the cut and fill method (cut equals fill) 3 ) How much soil is required if the RL of the building pad (FGL) is to be 16.300.

An OT is evaluating an adult patient who is diagnosed with focal hand dystonia of the dominant hand. Symptoms interfere with the client’s employment as a professional chemist. What information would be MOST IMPORTANT for the OT to gather prior to establishing an intervention plan?
Answer: C. Focal hand dystonia is a neurological condition that causes the fingers to involuntarily flex or extend. Since the patient’s primary limitation is related to his job as a chemist, the OT will need information regarding the specific movement patterns the patient uses at work as a chemist before the OT is able to establish a treatment plan to address symptoms that affect those movements.

It’s important not to let the facts get in the way of the truth.
You are a college-admissions officer charged with a difficult task—accepting a cohort of students that will be a good match for your institution. You want bright, well-rounded students who will successfully graduate in four years. Of course, the group should be diverse—racially, socioeconomically, geographically. Ideally, every one of these young adults will go on to be recognized for his or her contributions to society.
You have two folders on your desk. Each contains an application for admission to your college. There is one spot left in the incoming freshman class. Applicant No. 1 has a grade point average of 2.1. His ACT score in math is 16; in English it’s 19 (both out of a possible 36). His high school transcript shows he has acquired the necessary Carnegie units. He played no varsity sports, but does have community-service experience. His letters of recommendation are quite positive.
Now open the second folder. It contains the story of a young man on a quest for self-improvement. He was dealt a tough hand. Growing up in a poor neighborhood of Philadelphia, he was sent to a subpar public high school and, after a few years languishing in classes, slid out of school. As a result, he was kicked out of his mother’s house. He turned his life around by enrolling in YouthBuild, a high school program for “overage and undercredited” young people. For the last year, he has been working with a national nonprofit organization that promotes and supports innovative high schools all over the country.
He is an emerging intellectual—a voracious reader who took the initiative to enroll himself in a college course, paid for with stipends he earned through the completion of rigorous service to his community through AmeriCorps. He has delivered keynote addresses and spoken on panels at multiple national conferences, and has founded an organization, Organized Youth for Educational Alternatives, that has received seed funding and interest from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Which applicant would you admit?
Applicant No. 1’s academic history may make you apprehensive. It would not look good for the college, or be doing the applicant any service to admit him if he is not going to be able to handle the work. While he has impressive community-service experience, most applicants have some of that. And he is not going to be winning any championships for you.
Applicant No. 2 also has a spotty academic record, but, on the other hand, it is clear that he has intellectual drive, knowledge of self, and a proven track record of resiliency. He can respond to real-world deadlines and engage a variety of people. He appears to be a dynamic young man, hungry for the opportunities that college could provide.
The problem for you as a college-admissions official is that these two folders belong to the same applicant. Unfortunately, the way the admissions process works at most schools is that if the first folder resembles Applicant No. 1’s, the second folder never gets read. Consequently, many of the most dynamic students, with the most life experience and the strongest desire for education, are locked out of institutions and scholarship programs that could benefit greatly from their presence.
The two folders described above belonged to Andre Bradley, one of the authors of this essay. Andre’s recent experiences in applying to colleges and scholarship committees illuminate problematic aspects of the college-application, -admissions, and -financing systems.
After Andre enrolled at an alternative school, his participation in authentic learning opportunities gave him the motivation to be the first in his family to complete college. Armed with potential and immense self-motivation, Andre graduated from high school and applied to colleges. As he prepared his applications, though, he discovered that colleges and scholarship programs demanded transcripts that included cumulative grades for all of his high school work, rather than examples of his best work, most of which he produced in 12th grade and the two years after his high school graduation. Unfortunately, he found that many colleges and scholarship programs have no way of examining the performance trajectory and endpoint of an applicant. Instead, a grade point average, an SAT score, and a Carnegie unit total are all they need.
Judged by these traditional metrics and algorithms, Andre’s indicators of potential and resilience did not look good. There seemed to be no way to give special weight to his urge to excel and his recent performance. Andre had discovered who he is—someone absolutely ready to enter and excel in a four-year college—but unfortunately, it mattered all too much what and where he’d been.
An unusual story, you might say. But we would disagree. This is the trajectory of many of the millions of young people in alternative schools. They enter these innovative programs with enormous deficits, as measured by the traditional methods of keeping score. Because virtually all these students are high school dropouts, they have extremely low cumulative grade point averages. No matter how hard they work or how great their accomplishments, they find the deck stacked against them.
So as Andre, and many others who have traveled similar paths, place themselves in the vulnerable position of presenting their achievements and identities through numbers and words on paper, the following questions emerge: What constitutes “readiness for college,” and how can this be measured? How is merit assigned for turning one’s life around? What metric can be used to compare a student who has all the advantages of family support, a well-resourced school, and intensive and expensive SAT coaching with a student who has had none of these benefits? Does employing the same metrics to all produce the equity we value? When someone discovers himself and moves forward, how far back do you have to look? Are early setbacks and low grades relevant? How do colleges ensure that doors are not closed to students who have shown resiliency by surviving inadequate health care, housing, and schools, enrolling in alternative programs, and obtaining diplomas?
In our work, we too often get the feeling that we are trying to game the system on behalf of our kids. In so doing, we are further calcifying a system that needs to be entirely rethought. Rather than searching for ways to boost students’ GPAs and continually fight the uphill battle of convincing admissions officers and scholarship judges that each of our students should be considered as an exception to the rule, we would like to help usher in a new, more nuanced, and insightful system of assessing students’ readiness for postsecondary education, one that takes better account of young people’s potential.
William E. Sedlacek, in Beyond the Big Test: Noncognitive Assessment in Higher Education, has researched the success of minority students in college and developed a list of indicators—including positive self-concept, availability of a strong support person, and realistic self-appraisal—that can guide a student’s college readiness and aid in advising and admitting minority college-student applicants. A list such as this would help colleges ask the right questions and look in the right places in developing a full picture of every applicant.
The current system privileges a paradigm that will not serve our young people or our society well. We run the risk of losing this and future generations of talent. Yet, at the same time, we possess the promising possibility of offering educational opportunities to a diverse vanguard of students who possess exponential potential. It is worth the work.
Let’s change the system, so that all of the talented students who have followed alternative paths to the threshold of postsecondary institutions can access, afford, and thrive in these environments.

A business’s fixed costs are £10 000, selling price per unit is £4, and total variable costs per unit are £1.50. Which ONE of the following is the break-even level of output (to the nearest whole number)?
The answer is 3 – Break-even level of output = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit. Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit – Variable costs per unit. Therefore the breakeven level of output is: £10 000 / (£4 – £1.50) = £10 000 / £2.50 = 4 000 units.
