... Sports Looking Back: Betty Bright’s Olympic Upset Our very own Betty Bright is leading the Tangerine Middle School soccer teams to victory with their 9-0-0 record. On Friday, the Lake Windsor Downs and Tangerine middle soccer teams will go head to head in the championship. Betty Bright is preparing her War Eagles to battle, but how did Betty come to be a soccer coach? Betty Bright was the greatest track and field athlete to ever come into Tangerine county. She participated in high and broad jumps. Eventually her success led her to the 1978 Olympic Trials. The following year she participated in the Pan Am Games in Buenos Aires. Sadly, Betty was hit in the eye when she attempted her first hurdle. The blow threw off her balance and she landed in fourth place. Now she is the Tangerine Middle soccer coach. She has lead the War Eagles to an undefeated victory so far. The team is beating all county records as we speak. It’s amazing how far Coach Betty Bright has gotten!

...tuition payment rules linked to a student's reported suicide, Malacanang responded only by washing its hands clean. President Benigno Aquino III himself passed on the chance to comment on the issue during the Philippine Military Academy graduation Sunday, where he chose instead to talk about his deepening eye bags and thinning hair. It was deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte who passed the buck to school officials in a radio interview Saturday, saying that the Palace is not directly involved in setting tuition policies. Asked if Malacanang can look into the University of the Philippines Manila's alleged "no late payment" scheme, Valte said: "We would have to defer to UP since they set the policy." Related story: UP Manila urged to change tuition policies Valte's apparent admission of helplessness is a far cry from the President's strong policy pronouncement about state universities and colleges (SUCs) not a year after his election. In his 2010 budget message to Congress, Aquino said: "We are gradually reducing the subsidy to SUCs to push them toward becoming self-sufficient and financially independent, given their ability to raise their income and to utilize it for their programs and projects." He cited as an example UP which, under the leadership of then UP President Emerlinda Roman, had embarked on income generating measures. UP around year 2006 began to lease out a huge part of its land for a development now known as the UP-Ayala TechnoHub, a...

...attending universities increases while the tax payer support decreases (Fethke 2012). The government has attempted to solve the problem by increasing federal spending on Pell grant programs and other educational loans with low interest rates (William 2013). But such programs have instead driven the cost of tuition upward since universities have to spend a great amount of money on student programs, operational expenses, and facilities upgrades to stay competitive with other universities (Clark 2011). There needs to be a solution that will help drive the cost of tuition down, but that solution will have to come from the government and has to include tax payer support. Because providing subsidies for schools that do not control their expenses and keep increasing their tuition cost does not make sense (Fethke 2012). A possible solution is for the government to pass a new law that would reduce the subsidies for universities that keep increasing the tuition cost for students, such a move would motivate universities to take a hard look at their expenses. As part of the new law the government should award higher subsidies for universities that keep their tuition cost down and affordable for students. The law would help student keep their loans at an acceptable amount, we do not need our children graduating with a huge debt that would cause them to default their loans; our children are the future for tomorrow. The law should also have requirements such as requiring universities to keep...

...A3811-1 Strategies to Attract and Keep Customers Jody Padgham Farmers who sell their products by direct marketing need to take the time to reflect on successes and failures in the business. Reflection is not enough, however. Change can be difficult, but assessing what worked and what didn’t will provide successful direct marketers with the opportunity to anticipate and respond to customer needs and wants. Keeping customers satisfied ustomers are the lifeblood of your business, so it is crucial to maximize customer satisfaction. Some degree of customer turnover is inevitable, but successful food marketers will retain repeat customers. It costs about five times more to bring in a new customer than to keep an existing one. C If you answered “yes” to nine or more questions, you are a better-than-average market operator. Below six is poor; between six and nine is mediocre. Surveys show that a customer who has an unpleasant experience at your business will tell ten or more people about it. Building a successful, positive image with your customers enhances your overall credibility. Living up to that image creates valuable word-of-mouth publicity. Customers most often base their purchasing decisions on the advice of people they know. Keeping the customers you serve happy can be your best marketing tool. A successful direct marketer should work constantly to find out what the consumer wants and develop products that satisfy customer demands. When customers are satisfied...
