Alabama Crimson Tide 2010 Preview, Futures Odds and Predictions
The Crimson Tide ended on top of the football world last year with a win over the Texas Longhorns in the BCS National Championship Game. Nick Saban’s team must replace 10 starters on defense, so the new faces will be all over the field. The excellent news for Crimson Tide fans is the depth at Alabama is tremendous, and many people believe this year’s defense will pick up right where last year’s left off.
Alabama Offensive Preview
Mark Ingram is back after winning the Heisman Trophy last year, and I fully expect him to have a huge season again this year. According to 5Dimes, Mark Ingram is listed as the Heisman Trophy favorite for this year at +380 to bring home the honors. The Alabama offense will return eight of their 11 starters. QB Greg McElroy may not have had to take over games last year, but the job he did managing the game was tremendous. McElroy finished the season with 17 touchdown passes and just four interceptions. Expect Saban to call on McElroy to take it to the air more often this year as he continues to gain confidence in the young quarterback. Julio Jones is one of the most talented receivers in all of football. He was plagued with injuries last season and still caught 43 passes. His numbers should go up a great deal this year. While it’s easy to forget because of how great Ingram is, Trent Richardson is an amazing back that will contribute in a big way this season as well.
Alabama Defensive Preview
Normally a unit that lost so many of its starters would not be expected to be one of the best in the country, but this isn’t a normal team. The biggest losses from last year are Terrence Cody, Rolando McClain, and Javier Arenas. Can the youngsters step in and help the defense not miss a beat? That is the million-dollar question for Alabama this year. There will be a ton of talent on the field for this unit, led by Dont’a Hightower and Mark Barron. The rumblings around college football are that many of the young players Saban is ready to plug into this defense are already NFL-ready athletes. The Crimson Tide were ranked second in the entire country last year in defense. I think it’s highly unlikely this group can maintain quite that high of a ranking, but they’ll be very good.
Alabama Question Marks
This is the preseason No. 1 team for almost everyone, so there aren’t too many question marks, but there are definitely a couple. The Crimson Tide are in serious need of a reliable kicker. Leigh Tiffin won them several games last year with his foot, but he is gone and they need someone else to step it up.
Outside of Mark Barron the secondary could be a bit of an issue. They’ll need the young cornerbacks and safeties to step up in a hurry, or a team with a solid quarterback could hurt them.
2010 Alabama Futures Odds
The Crimson Tide are definitely thought of highly by the oddsmakers going into this season, and who can blame them? Alabama is currently listed at +425 to win the BCS Championship for college football futures odds at 5Dimes, which makes them the favorite. What about the SEC odds? The Crimson Tide are listed at -170 to win the SEC West and +125 to be the overall SEC champion.
2010 Alabama Football Schedule – Key Games
The 2010 Alabama football schedule is a potential mine field. The Crimson Tide will match up against Penn State in their second game of the season. The Nittany Lions should be down some this year, so I don’t expect that to be a big problem for Alabama. The game on Sept. 25 at Arkansas is the first game on the schedule that will be extremely telling as to how this Alabama defense can hold up. Ryan Mallett is one of the best quarterbacks in all of football, so the secondary of the Crimson Tide should be ready for an all out aerial attack in this one. The schedule also has a key matchup with LSU in Baton Rouge on the first weekend in November.
2010 Alabama Football Predictions
I don’t blame the oddsmakers or the experts one bit for making Alabama the favorite to win the BCS title this year, but it’s no cakewalk to repeat in today’s environment. I think there is a good chance that Alabama will lose to either Arkansas or LSU on the road. In the end, this is a team that has just as much talent as anyone in football, but the lack of experience will hurt them. I think they’ll fall just a little short of a second straight national title.

Truman State University
History
Truman State University was founded in 1867 by Joseph Baldwin as the First Missouri Normal School and Commercial College. Baldwin was considered a pioneer in education, and his school quickly gained official recognition in 1870 by the Missouri General Assembly, which designated it as the first public teaching college in Missouri.
Joseph Baldwin statue on the Truman State University campus
A region of 25 Missouri counties was designated as the school’s college district; these counties included Adair, Audrain, Boone, Callaway, Chariton, Clark, Howard, Knox, Lewis, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Macon, Monroe, Montgomery, Pike, Putnam, Ralls, Randolph, St. Charles, Schuyler, Scotland, Shelby, Sullivan and Warren.
As the school continued to grow, Basil Brewer wrote the school song “The Purple and White” in 1902. The song’s popularity prompted the university to adopt the school colors as purple and white. Thirteen years later, in 1915, the bulldog became the official mascot of the college.
In 1924 a fire destroyed Old Baldwin Hall and the library. Both were rebuilt, with ,000.00 allotted for the new library donated by Samuel M. Pickler, a member of the first graduating class of 1870, former faculty member, and a local merchant. The broad pond in the quadrangle (a prominent feature in pre-1924 photographs of the campus) was pumped dry in a futile attempt to put out the fire. The depression was filled in with debris from the ruined buildings and covered with grass, which now serves as the quadrangle (“Quad”) of the campus.
The college was renamed Northeast Missouri State University in 1972, and, in 1983, the university was awarded the G. Theodore Mitau Award for Innovation and Change in Higher Education by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. Northeast Missouri State continued pushing for excellence. On June 20, 1985, Governor John Ashcroft signed a bill that designated the university as Missouri’s only statewide public liberal arts and sciences university. This changed the school’s mission to a state-wide rather than a regional (northeast) objective. As such, nearly 100 programs were dropped in the span of six years, including all two-year programs those that did not fulfill the liberal arts mission.
The school continued to win praise from such publications as US News and World Report and the university’s reputation continued to spread. By the 1990s, the university was no longer solely a teachers’ college, but also had a nationally-known accounting division and schools of science, mathematics, computer science, and literature. Ten years after Governor Ashcroft’s designation, Governor Mel Carnahan signed legislation renaming the school Truman State University. Truman State University is designated by statute as Missouri’s premier public liberal arts and sciences institution.

Academic Mission
On June 15, 2007, the Board of Governors approved and adopted the University Strategic Plan. In this plan the university will continue its devotion to providing a liberal arts education that is financially accessible. The primary vision, as stated by the Plan, is for Truman to be “…America premier public liberal arts and sciences university.” The Plan also lists six goals that outlines an agenda that will be implemented in the next three to five years.
As part of its focus on liberal arts and sciences, Truman requires all students to complete the Liberal Studies Program, or LSP. The LSP is designed to give students a “broad educational experience”, and consists of Essential Skills, Modes of Inquiry, and Interconnecting Perspectives sections.

Board of Governors
Truman State’s Board of Governors consists of ten members. Each member is appointed by the Governor of Missouri to serve a four-year term, with a student representative serving for two years. The ten members must meet residential requirements defined by Missouri law as follows:
Four voting members from inside Truman’s regional boundary, provided that not more than one person from the same county is selected.
Three voting members from in-state, provided that not more than one person is from the same college region defined by Missouri state law.
Two non-voting members from out-of-state. Former U.S. Housing and Urban Development secretary Alphonso Jackson, a graduate of Truman, served on the board in this capacity for two terms.
One non-voting member who is a current full-time Truman student. Student groups have lobbied the state to allow this member to vote. The Truman Student Senate recently passed a unanimous resolution calling for a student to become a voting member of the Board of Governors and sent the resolution to every member of the Missouri Legislature.
The current Board of Governors includes the following members:
Chair – Cheryl J. Cozette, Columbia
Vice Chair – Matthew W. Potter, St. Louis
Secretary – John W. Siscel, III, St. Louis
Mike Greenwell, Shelbina

Campus
The quad in Spring
The campus is located on the south side of Kirksville. Truman’s main campus is situated around a slightly wooded quadrangle, also known as the “Quad.” It is two blocks south of the town square, which includes an eight screen movie theatre and various eateries.
Notable buildings on campus include Pickler Memorial Library, the Kirk Memorial, the Kirk Auditorium Building (the oldest building on campus, built in 1922), Magruder Hall, McClain Hall, Baldwin Hall, Violette Hall, Barnett Hall, Ophelia Parrish, Pershing Arena, and the Recreation Center (or “The Rec”).
“The Bubble” of the Pickler Memorial Library
Pickler Memorial Library was named after Samuel M. Pickler, who donated funds to rebuild the library after it was destroyed by fire in 1924. Renovated in 1993, it is now houses the main computer lab, as well as approximately 450,000 volumes of various works. The front lobby area of Pickler Memorial Library is known as “the Bubble” for its curved glass atrium.
Kirk Memorial is a small, domed structure near the center of campus. The structure is dedicated to John Kirk, the fifth president of the university. It formerly housed Truman’s debate team and now houses a few administrative offices. The Kirk Auditorium, now known as “Kirk Building,” was once the University’s combined gymnasium and auditorium facility. It currently houses the Center for International Education, Student Affairs, Publications and the Department of Sports Information. The Rec is located just north of Centennial Residence Hall and is open everyday except on holidays. It also offers a gymnasium for a variety sports, a weight room, an elevated track, various exercise equipment, and a smaller, multipurpose gym for hockey, indoor soccer, etc. There are seven main academic buildings. Magruder Hall is the science building and houses the departments of Chemistry, physics, Biology and Agriculture. McClain Hall serves as both an administrative and academic building. For the academic portion, Classical & Modern Languages, Economics, English & Linguistics, History, Philosophy & Religion, Political Science, and Psychology can be found there. Baldwin Hall is connected to McClain Hall and houses the campus auditorium that is best known for hosting cultural events through the Kohlenberg-Lyceum Series. Violette Hall, named after former history professor E.M. Violette, is home to the School of Business, the Mathematics and Computer Science Department, and the Education Department. Ophelia Parrish is used as home to the Art, Music, and Theatre Departments. Barnett Hall is home to the departments of Anthropology, Geography, and Sociology; Communication; Communication Disorders; Justice Systems; and Nursing programs. Finally, Pershing Arena is for department of Health and Exercise Science classes.

Campus Map
Services available on campus to students include the student health center, career center, and writing center. General use of the health center is free, but it is closed on the weekends and holidays. The career center is located next to the health center and provides help to students in determining a career path, selecting a major, developing career skills, helping put together a resume, or even conducting mock interviews. The writing center is located on the third floor of McClain and offers critique and editing for student papers.
Academics
Admissions
Truman State University is Missouri’s only highly selective public institution of higher learning. This designation means that, in order to be accepted, applicants must have a combined ability score of at least 140. The combined ability score is calculated by adding the percentage of students in the applicant’s graduating class that the applicant outranks and the percentage of students the applicant outscored on a nationally-standardized test (usually the ACT, although the SAT is also accepted). Admissions decisions are also based, however, on a mandatory application essay, the applicant’s resume, and the applicant’s high school and extracurricular record. According to the Princeton Review, Truman has a selectivity rating of 97, a 79% acceptance rate, and an 85% retention rate. All applicants must have 4 credits of English, 3 credits of math, 3 credits of science, 2 credits of foreign language, 2 credits of social studies, and 1 credit of fine art. The average GPA of an admitted student is 3.76, with 50% of all admitted students ranking in the top 10% of their class, and the median ACT range is 25-31.
The Liberal Studies Program
On July 20, 1985, the state of Missouri charged Truman State University with serving as the state’s premier public liberal arts and sciences university. In order to meet this commitment to the people of Missouri, the Truman faculty and administration created the Liberal Studies Program, the general education curriculum undergraduates complete in order to receive a Truman degree. The Liberal Studies Program consists of three distinct areas:
Essential Skills for success in liberal studies, including courses in writing as critical thinking, public speaking, elementary functions, statistics, computer literacy, and personal well-being.
Modes of Inquiry by which students may approach problems and issues in other academic areas. Students must complete coursework in seven of the following eight modes: fine arts, literature, history, mathematics, philosophy or religion, life science, physical science, and social science.
Interconnecting Perspectives that allow students to understand and appreciate better the knowledge they have gained. This includes taking a series of writing-enhanced courses, an interdisciplinary seminar course in the junior year, at least two semesters of a foreign language, and participating in an intercultural experience (this can be fulfilled through any one of a series of courses or by going on any study abroad trip).
Schools
The School of Arts and Letters is the home of the departments of Art, Classical & Modern Languages, English & Linguistics, Music, and Theatre. Degrees offered through the school include Art, Art History, Classics, English, French, German, Linguistics, Music, Romance Languages, Russian, Spanish, Theatre, and Visual Communications. In addition to the 17 distinct undergraduate majors offered, the school also offers 6 graduate programs, including Music and English.
The School of Business offers degrees in Business Administration (BA or BS) with emphasis in Finance, Management, Marketing, and International Business. In addition, a BS and MAc in Accounting are offered, with the graduate program ranked third in the nation in terms of CPA passage rates.
The School of Health Sciences & Education offers degrees Communication Disorders (graduate and undergraduate), Nursing, Health Science, Exercise Science, and Education (MAE only). Education students can emphasize in elementary education, special education, English, exercise science, foreign language, music, mathematics, science, and visual arts. The School of Science and Mathematics offers degrees in Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics and Psychology.
The School of Social & Cultural Studies offers degrees in Communication, Economics, History, Justice Systems, Military Science (minor only), Philosophy & Religion, Political Science, Geography (minor only), and Sociology/Anthropology.
Students are also free to create their own interdisciplinary majors or to minor in any of the approved interdisciplinary minors, which include African/African-American Studies, Asian Studies, Classical Studies, Cognitive Sciences, Environmental Studies, Folklore, Forensic Science, International Studies, Italian Studies, Mathematical Biology, Medieval Studies, and Women’s and Gender Studies.
Campus Life
Residence Life
In the 1960s the university built Dobson Hall (1961), Ryle Hall (1963), Missouri Hall (1965) and Centennial Hall (1967). There are three other residence halls on campus: Blanton-Nason-Brewer (1948, Brewer added in 1959), Ezra C. Grim Hall (1923), and West Campus Suites (2006). The residence halls are maintained by ResLife, an administrative body of professionals and students who live in the halls and act as student advisors (SA’s) and hall directors. Truman’s residence halls are currently undergoing a million renovation schedule. This project included the construction of West Campus Suites in 2006, the renovation of Missouri Hall in 2006, Blanton-Nason-Brewer in 2007, and Dobson in 2008. Ryle Hall is currently in the first phase of a two-year renovation, and Centennial is scheduled to undergo a two-year renovation after Ryle.
Dobson Hall is coed by wing and houses roughly 400 students. Dobson features community-style bathrooms, study areas, laundry facilities, air conditioning in all rooms, and a convenience store, but no cafeteria.
Ryle Hall is the second largest hall at Truman. This coed dorm houses nearly 600 students in suite-style rooms. The standard arrangement is two bedrooms, or four people, sharing one bathroom. Ryle has a spacious main lounge that is often used for on-campus events. The dorm features a cafeteria, computer labs, mailboxes, vending machines, ATM machines, laundry rooms, and also house a classroom used by the Residential College Program (RCP). Ryle will be undergoing renovations from 2009-2011. The North wing and main lounge of Ryle will be closed and remodeled during the 2009-2010 academic year, reopening in August 2010. The South wing of Ryle will be closed and remodeled during the 2010-2011 academic year, reopening in August 2011. Renovation plans also include remodeling the Ryle cafeteria during the summer of 2009.
Centennial Hall (commonly called “C-Hall”) is the largest dorm on campus. This coed dorm houses nearly 600 students in suite-style rooms. Like Ryle, the standard arrangement is two rooms, or four people, sharing one bathroom. Centennial also has a spacious main lounge that is often used for small on-campus events. The dorm features a cafeteria, computer labs, mailboxes, vending machines, ATM machines, laundry rooms, and also a large study lounge. The primary difference between Ryle and Centennial is that Ryle’s lounge is located on the first floor with its cafeteria below, and that Centennial’s cafeteria bisects the second floor, with the lounge area sitting directly below. Centennial will be the final dorm renovation on Truman’s campus, completing a seven year renovation schedule of all of the residence halls. The hall renovated similarly to Ryle, in 2 stages, the first from 2011-2012 and the second from 2012-2013.
Missouri Hall (commonly called “MO Hall”) is a coed residence hall that houses 518 students, making it the third largest on campus. Missouri Hall is made up of seven different wings. On both the north and south sides of the building three wings join with a common lounge. The two common lounges are linked by a seventh “crossover” wing. From overhead, the building is shaped like an elongated asterisk. While each wing is either male or female, each “house” (the north or south side of a single floor) includes both male and female wings. The building also houses a large cafeteria, study rooms, laundry facilities, and many public kitchens. With a high percentage of first year students each fall term, more students get their start at Truman in Missouri Hall than any other place on campus.A renovation of Missouri Hall began in the summer of 2006 and concluded during the summer of 2007. The upgrade included improved air conditioning, renovated bathrooms, wiring upgrades, improved community space, an updated dining hall, and a new lobby.
Blanton-Nason-Brewer (commonly called “BNB”), offers three floors of suite-style, coed living arrangements to students. Originally three separate buildings connected by breezeways, the building underwent a major renovation in the 2007-2008 academic year and is now one, unified residence hall. The north wing, Brewer Hall, is primarily used as sorority housing. The east and south wings, respectively Nason Hall and Blanton Hall, are used as regular housing. BNB does not have its own dining hall, so residents typically walk to Missouri Hall, which is next door. The hall offers two large lounges with fireplaces on the first floor. The second and third floors have open community lounge areas, study rooms, computer workstations, laundry facilities, trash and recycling areas, and public kitchens.
Grim Hall is the smallest residence hall on campus, with a capacity of just 68 residents. It is also unusual in its hardwood flooring and house-like appearance. Originally a dormitory for nurses at the adjacent Grim-Smith Hospital, it was later acquired by the University in the 1930s. For many years Grim was also the “International Dorm” by striving to maintain a population of at least one third foreign students. Because of its small size, Grim Hall sometimes feels more like a home than a large housing complex; much of its personality comes from its residents differentiating Grim from the large dormitories.
West Campus Suites, just northwest of Centennial Hall, opened its doors to 416 students in Fall 2006. Currently, all floors are coed by suite and the building’s residents come from all class standings. Each room (with the exception of single rooms for eight student advisors and apartments for the hall director and community coordinator) consists of two bedrooms attached to a central living room, sink, kitchen cabinets and large bathroom. All suites have individual central air conditioning. Each floor has its own dedicated lounge, 2 study rooms, laundry facilities, trash and recycling center, campus events bulletin board, and computer labs. A favorite amenity of students is the convenience store located off of the main lobby.
Truman offers the option of three campus-owned apartments for student living: Randolph, Campbell, and Fair. Randolph and Campbell Apartments provide residents with a kitchen area, while students living in Fair Apartments use their meal plan to eat on campus. Fair is located across the street from Violette Hall, Campbell is located next to the tennis courts, and Randolph is located behind Dobson Hall.
Yet another option is Farm Hall, located at the University Farm. Only a handful of students, often majors in agricultural science, live here each year. Their work on the farm helps them gain useful first-hand experience, as well as help pay for room and board.
Student organizations
Truman is host to a variety of student organizations. Option for student involvement include campus media, cultural organization, departmental and professional groups, Greek life, honorary societies, political groups, recreational sporting organizations, religious communities, service groups, and Student Government.
Greek Life
The Greek community contains almost 20% of the campus in nineteen fraternities and eleven sororities. The fraternities are governed by the Interfraternal Council (IFC), which includes the thirteen nationally recognized Greek fraternities on campus: Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Kappa Lambda, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Chi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Tau Gamma, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Kappa Theta, Phi Kappa Tau, Phi Lambda Phi , Phi Mu Alpha, and Phi Sigma Kappa. The sororities are governed by the Panhellenic Council, which is made up of five internationally recognized sororities on campus: Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Zeta, Sigma Kappa, and Sigma Sigma Sigma, and several local sororities: Sigma Chi Delta, Beta Omega Beta, Tau Lambda Sigma, Alpha Sigma Gamma,Phi Delta, and The Primroses. There are also seven of the divine nine Historically Black Fraternities and sororities which are part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. It also has a multicultural sorority and fraternity. The sorority is Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc, while the fraternity is Sigma Lambda Beta National Fraternity, Inc. The organizations do service around the community, provide leadership on campus, and provide a social outlet for students. In addition to these organizations, Truman also boasts an honor fraternity for nearly every major on campus.
Honorary
Truman also offers a wide selection of honorary organizations. Such organizations include Alpha Phi Sigma, Alpha Psi Omega, Eta Sigma Phi, Eta Sigma Gamma, Kappa Delta Pi, Kappa Mu Epsilon, Lambda Pi Eta, National Residence Hall Honorary, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Sigma Pi, Pi Delta Phi, Psi Chi, Sigma Delta Pi, Sigma Tau Delta. In addition, there is the Pershing Society, a special organization for students who have been awarded the Pershing Scholarship, the University’s most prestigious award.
International Students
Truman enrolls students from all over the world. According to 2009 figures from the International Student Affair Office, 309 students represent 45 countries, with the largest contingent (127) coming from Nepal.

In addition, “Charlotte” and an unnamed little boy have haunted Grim Hall for 70 years, and “Gina” watches over the women of Ryle. See external link “Truman Ghost Stories,” below.
Students traditionally stuck their chewing gum on a redbud tree on the east side of campus. This “gum tree” was decorated in colorful wads, and at times, it even sported students’ names. The tree was vandalized and knocked down by an unknown party in 2000, but students quickly adopted another tree.
The sunken garden, site of many student weddings, is actually the cellar left from the Baldwin Hall fire of 1924. Due to the frequency of student weddings in the sunken garden, a campus myth came into common circulation. It is alleged that if a new couple has their first kiss at midnight on one of the two benches located in the sunken garden, the couple will eventually get married.
A row of large, clapperless bells is fixed in a brick wall on the quad. The Bell Wall was built and dedicated at the Centennial Celebration in 1967. The bells were donated by Joe Burdman, local businessman and University benefactor. The historic bells were collected from abandoned churches, schoolhouses and public buildings in northeast Missouri. Each bell was meant to represent the ideals of liberty, justice, religion, and education.
The annual football game against Northwest Missouri State University was established in 1930 when Northwest president Uel W. Lamkin sent Fair a polished hickory stick from the farm where the former president Eugene Fair was born. The “Hickory Stick” has since been contested annually. Army ROTC
Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) was established at Truman in 1969. Approximately 200 Truman students are members of the “Bulldog Battalion” and enroll in military science courses each semester. Students completing the ROTC program are additionally awarded a minor in Military Science.
Athletics
Truman is a member of NCAA Division II and plays in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association conference. The athletic department sponsors 21 teams (11 men’s and 10 women’s) more than any other school in Missouri. Among Truman’s most recent successes include: four regional championships for women’s volleyball, a regional berth for men’s basketball in 2006, and undefeated regular seasons for both men’s and women’s soccer. In March 2008, the women’s swim team won their seventh national title in eight years, again beating their in state rival Drury University. The team holds the record for most national titles won in their division. Indoor sports are played in the Pershing Arena (named for general John J. Pershing who attended Truman the 1880s). Indoor sports include: Men and women’s Swimming, Wrestling (M), Volleyball (W), and Basketball (M/W). Outdoor offerings are; Soccer (M/W), Golf (M/W), Football, Baseball, Softball, Track (M/W), Cross-country (M/W), and Tennis (M/W). Stokes Stadium is the site for home football games and track meets.
In addition to intercollegiate athletics, recreational teams exist for lacrosse, rugby union (Bulls and Bullets), roller hockey, Ultimate (JujiTSU and TSUnami), men’s volleyball and men’s and women’s soccer.
Truman students passed a resolution in the Spring of 2007, adding a /semester fee to all students taking six or more credit hours to help support athletic facilities on campus. The addition of lights to Stokes Stadium was one of the first projects completed with the help of the student athletic fee.

Jacksonville State University Scholarship ,000 Drawing ***
Jacksonville State University Scholarship, If you have decided that going back to college is a great decision for you, then you need to find a way to fund your decision. This is typically done by locating the appropriate amount of college aid. The problem is trying to find the funding that will get you through the next 2 to 4 years. Here are a few ways that you can find college aid fast so that you can start on your path toward a completed college degree.
One of the best sources for college aid is a scholarship. Scholarships are typically given by universities or private organizations that are interested in promoting certain individuals through a particular school or degree program because they have shown certain qualifications.
There are a few things you need to consider before randomly applying for every scholarship that comes your way. Here are a few tips on how you should prepare prior to filling out the application.
First, before you apply to any scholarship program, you need to read and understand what the requirements are for that scholarship. If you determine early on that you would not qualify, you will not waste hours if not days of your time filling out and sending in an application that in all likelihood would be rejected.
Second, once you have determined that you have eligibility for this program, you need to fill it out as thoroughly as possible. This means that for every question that is asked, it needs to be filled in. If you leave any blanks on an application, it will need to a guaranteed delay and you may miss deadlines that may be necessary to meet in order to qualify for that particular program.
Third, while you are filling it out, make sure that you write very neatly. In our information age, more than likely most of the scholarship applications that you fill out will be online. Therefore, you will not have to worry about how legible your writing is. However, some private scholarships in local communities will ask you to fill out paperwork that is physical and needs to be turned in and reviewed by a human being. If it is not legible, it will more than likely be rejected.
Fourth, you are almost guaranteed to be asked to write an essay. Writing an essay will be very easy if the scholarship in the program you are applying for is directly related to your college interest. If you are going for a scholarship in biology, and you have a biology major in mind, you will have no problem writing a great essay. However, if you are going into chemistry, and you are applying for a scholarship in astronomy, not only will you have difficulty writing a good paper, but you will more than likely be rejected because it has nothing to do with the program you are applying for.
Finally, make sure that you keep track of all of your deadlines. In order to get enough money for school focusing only on these programs, you need to keep a file which lists all of them and the deadlines that you need to meet. A great idea is to save a file in Excel on your computer so that you can easily access it from your desktop to keep track of when each application is due.
Applying for scholarships is one way that you can avoid having tens of thousands of dollars in debt once you have left school. This is usually acquired by taking out multiple student loans to finish your college education. By taking the time now and working hard to get free money for college, you will save yourself years of agony in paying off loans for an education that you needed to have and that will benefit you in the years to come.

Selecting the correct day and time to trade can play a major role in your forex success. Although forex market seems to be available 24/6, not all the days of the week will bring profits. A trader not only has to choose the right day to trade, but also know the best hours. When not to trade? What is the absolute best time for forex? When can you get most earnings? Best Time To Trade Forex Market
Let’s go over the basics – 3 major forex trading sessions:
1. New York market opens from 7:00 AM to 4 PM
2. Japan/Australia market opens from 7:00 PM to 3 AM
3. London market opens from 3:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Seems like forex market never sleeps, however the trading volume and price movements are not the same during all the mentioned sessions. There are times when you should jump in and there are times when it is better to keep out.
The main idea is to get involved when the forex markets are the busiest. Each currency reacts differently during each session. For example:
During London market – Euro, US dollar, British Pound and Swiss Franc are most active currencies involved.
During New Year market – Us dollar, Euro, British Pound, Australian dollar, Japanese Yen, Canadian dollar and New Zealand dollar are the most active currencies.
A great time to trade is the first 3-5 hours of each opening session mentioned above, especially when your fundamental analysis points on new economic releases. However, the best time to trade is between 3 AM and 11 AM. Best Time To Trade Forex Market
The overlap between New York and London markets (3 AM – 11 AM) creates an intense trading momentum full of trading opportunities enhanced with frequent price movements, and therefore is the best time to make money. With the right trading plan, money management and system, you can make thousands of dollars within minutes.
The currency pairs that are most active during the overlap are:
1. USD/ CHF
2. GBP/USD
3. EUR/USD
4. USD/JPY
Many economic releases are made around 8:00 AM, therefore the 3 hours between 8 AM and 11 AM are extremely profitable for very quick and significant profits.
Keep in mind that volatility is very fast and if you aren’t careful, instead of making money, you can lose most of it! Therefore, the use of stop/loss and the discipline are crucial for you success. Also, don’t cry over the spilled milk – if you missed a trend, get over it. There will be more opportunities, trust me!
Now, when is the best day to trade? Which days should be avoided? Although the market is available 5 days a week, there are certain days which are better avoided:
1. Fridays should be AVOIDED, since the end of the week is extremely unpredictable.
2. Sundays should be AVOIDED, since there is almost no action in currency rates.
3. Holidays should be AVOIDED, since the market is in most cases motionless.
The BEST days to trade are Tuesday and Wednesday, since the peak of trades happen during this time of the week. Best Time To Trade Forex Market

Forex (Foreign Exchange) simply means the buying of one currency and selling another at the same time. In other words, the currency of one country is exchanged for those of another. The currencies of the world are on a floating exchange rate, and are always traded in pairs Euro/Dollar, Dollar/Yen, etc. In excess of 85 percent of all daily transactions involve trading of the major currencies. Inter Bank Forex Rates Pakistan
Four major currency pairs are usually used for investment purposes. They are: Euro against US dollar, US dollar against Japanese yen, British pound against US dollar, and US dollar against Swiss franc. The following notation is used for these currency pairs: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF. You may consider them as “blue chips” of the FOREX market. No dividends are paid on currencies. The investment profits come from well known “buy low – sell high”.
If you think one currency will appreciate against another, you may exchange that second currency for the first one and stay in it. In case everything goes as planned, some time later you may make the opposite deal – exchange this first currency back for that other – and collect profits.
Transactions on the FOREX market are fulfilled by dealers at major banks or FOREX brokerage companies. FOREX is the world wide market, so when you are sleeping in the North America some dealers in Europe are trading currencies with their Japanese counterparties. Therefore the FOREX market is active 24 hours a day and dealers at major institutions are working in three shifts. Clients may place take-profit and stop-loss orders with brokers for overnight execution.
Price movements on the FOREX market are very smooth and without gaps that you face almost every morning on the stock market. The daily turnover on the FOREX market is about .2 trillion, so investor can enter and exit position without problems. The fact is that the FOREX market never stops, even on the day of September-11, 2001 you could obtain two-side quotes on currencies. Inter Bank Forex Rates Pakistan
The currency foreign exchange ([http://www.123forex.blogspot.com]) market is the largest and oldest financial market in the world. It is also called the foreign exchange market, or “FOREX” or “FX” market for short. It is the biggest and most liquid market in the world, and it is traded mainly through the 24 hour-a-day inter-bank currency market – the primary market for currencies. The forex market is a cash (or “spot”) inter-bank market. By comparison, the currency futures market is only one per cent as big.
Unlike the futures and stock markets, trading of currencies is not centralized on an exchange. Forex literally follows the sun around the world. Trading moves from major banking centers of the U.S. to Australia and New Zealand, to the Far East, to Europe and finally back to the U.S.
In the past, the forex inter-bank market was not available to small speculators due to the large minimum transaction sizes and often-stringent financial requirements. Banks, major currency dealers and the occasional huge speculator used to be the principal dealers. Only they were able to take advantage of the currency market’s fantastic liquidity and strong trending nature of many of the world’s primary currency exchange rates.
Today, foreign exchange market maker brokers such as FX Solutions are able to break down the larger sized inter-bank units, and offer small traders the opportunity to buy or sell any number of these smaller units (lots).
These brokers give virtually any size trader, including individual speculators or smaller companies, the option to trade the same rates and price movements as the large players who once dominated the market. Market makers quote buying and selling rates for currencies, and they profit on the difference between their buying and selling rates Inter Bank Forex Rates Pakistan

Money Management and your Odds of Success
Most traders are virtually guaranteed to lose – because they have money management strategies that ensure they are constantly going to get stopped out by normal market volatility.
For example, many traders risk say 2% of their equity on a trade. On small accounts, this amounts to just a few hundred dollars. They enter the trade, and market volatility ensures their stop is hit. The market then goes back in the direction they had anticipated – and piles up thousands of dollars! Our trader though, thinks he was just unlucky – and tries again, but he wasn’t unlucky, and volatility will take him out every time.
Money Management Guaranteed to Lose
A string of small losses soon adds up, and the trader runs out of money – and his online currency strategy is at an end.
The trader may have been right, on where markets were going – but got stopped out of the trade – and ended up losing instead of winning.
Does this sound familiar? – It happens all the time.
How to Protect Equity and make Bigger Profits
Here are seven tips to incorporate into your currency trading strategy, to protect equity and build huge profits.
1. Don’t listen to advisors or brokers. Advisors don’t care if you win or lose – and brokers certainly don’t mind, as they work on the assumption you will lose anyway. The more commission a broker makes the better – and tight stops ensure this.
2. You need to risk more per trade – so you need to be very selective in trades. Forget day trading, and concentrate on the big, longer-term trends.
3. Keep in mind this truism – “with risk goes reward”. Without risk, there cannot be big rewards. Currency trading offers big rewards – but you have to be prepared to take the risk.
4. Taking a risk with no thought, and taking a calculated risk, is entirely different. If you are taking a bigger risk, you are not necessarily going to lose – it depends on the logic behind the trade – and the profit potential. That’s why you should trade sparingly – and concentrate on the big trends.
5. Use up to 10%, or maybe even more, on the trades you are confident in – these are the big moves – and you don’t want to be stopped out!
6. Don’t move stops up too quickly to protect equity – big currency trends last months or years – so give the trade room to move. You don’t want to get into a big trade, and get stopped out on the first correction – if you think the trade is going to be big, then have the courage of your conviction.
7. Use options as a vehicle – they’re great if used correctly – to give you staying power. Use at the money, or in the money options – with plenty of time value, for greater staying power. Options are a great tool, but NEVER buy out of the money options – or options that are close to expiry.
An online currency strategy consists of a number of components – and the one that lets down the bulk of traders, is money management. They try so hard to avoid risk, but end up creating it – and lose. Don’t make this mistake in your currency trading strategy – you need to take risks, pure and simple – and as the famous, US general George Patton said:
“Take calculated risks – that is quite different from being rash”
The fact is, most traders don’t believe this – they end up creating risk by trying to avoid it – and that’s why their currency trading strategies fail every time – don’t make the same mistake!

Question by Lys: Is Foreign Currency Trading worth it, and does it work?
My father is willing to pay me to use a Foreign Currency Trading software basically all day every day. But, we’ve researched that it is a large investment to get the software to be able to do it. They’re advertising that if you do it all day, everyday you can make “a lot” of money per year off of this. I am concerned before we pay for the software if the program really does work and if you are able to make money off of it?
Best answer:
Answer by MoneyMonkey No. No. No. No. No. You can LOSE a lot of money. And you will be out the software cost. Only professionals should do anything along these lines. This is a really bad idea. Unless your father is paying for everything, and he has plenty of money he can afford to lose you should not even consider this venture.

Is foreign exchange trading a true get rich quick scheme? Foreign exchange trading, or Forex, is a real opportunity to get extremely wealthy in a very short amount of time. How?
The key is leverage.
Some Forex brokers allow you a leverage ratio of 200:1. That is the equivalent of investing ,000 into a 0,000 asset, and an asset that you could turn around and trade within seconds for a quick profit if done correctly!

Automated Trading – Forex Trading System
The trend in Forex trading systems is towards using complex mathematical algorithms to predict Price turns in the market but which are the best? Let’s take a look…
Lets first of all define what a mathematical theory is – it’s a theory that works all the time. Now as yet, there is no algorithm that works all the time and the reason is quite simple – the markets don’t move to certainties just probabilities but are any of these complex theories able to make a profit?
Most Forex trading systems that make money are simple not complex!
The more complex you make the rules the more likely it is to fail as there are too many elements to break.
You see a lot of vendors selling systems online which are supposed to beat the markets but they don’t. These vendors simply do a back test on data knowing the closing prices and bend the system to fit the data. Going forward of course you can’t do this and the system collapses and loses.
We see technology enrich our lives in many areas but in the Forex market technology and complicated theories don’t and the reverse is true they help you lose. If you want an example of how technology doesn’t help you then consider this:
30 years ago 95% of traders lost and the ratio remains the same today, despite the amount of technology traders throw at the market.
If you want to enjoy trading success, forget about technology and complication and keep it simple and robust; you then need what I will refer to as the missing link and that’s the correct mindset.
Trading is not about just a method, it’s about having the discipline to apply it.
If you don’t have the discipline to execute your trading signals, you have no system.
You have to trade with discipline through periods of losses until you hit a home run and this is something most traders simply cannot do. They either think they won’t face these periods or lack the confidence to have the discipline required.

Question by jessicabutton86: Automated Forex Trading Robot is a Scam?
I’m a novice forex trader who just started trading forex a week ago. I was wondering if anyone had heard or tried the automated forex trading robot like this one http://forextrading.wellexplained.info/ I’m so much attracted to it and planning to get one and try it myself. I read some reviews on it and all of them were positive.
Have you tried it before? Worth buying? Should I give it a go?
Best answer:
Answer by Joseph T I’ve been trading forex for almost 8 years now, I believe in proper Forex education than anything. If you really wanna make profits from Forex, learn it and trade it yourself. Experience makes you a better and successful trader. And no, I’ve never tried that piece of script that promises so much of gains in a month. But one of my friends did. Yeah, he did make a profit of about 80% in one trade, but he lost almost 90% of his investment in the other 6 trades. Script is still a script, it’s written by human based on historical data. More info, refer to http://www.squidoo.com/forex-robot-trading-system-scam/
Therefore, if you really wanna do well trading Forex, learn what Forex is, how Forex works, learn the charts, study the markets, and be brave to trade, remember high risk high return. You should get a proper Forex education like this http://www.squidoo.com/the-forex-kingdom-review/ rather than counting on a trading robot.
Good luck in pursuing your forex riches.
