Most Arizona High School Grads Don't Finish College
Four out of five Arizona high school graduates do not have a college degree six years after graduating from high school. Just over half haven’t gone to college at all.
The Arizona Republic reports that a study by the Arizona Board of Regents suggests that the state needs to increase efforts to get more students into college and that colleges need to increase graduation rates.
Studies show that college degrees are increasingly required in the workforce and that workers with degrees make more money over their lifetime.

Walking Blogger Passes Through Globe-Miami, Writes About It
Blogger Peter Teeuwissen is walking across the US and just passed through San Carlos, Globe and Miami. A nice, long article about it includes photos and a bit of history about mining and the wild west.
I then wend my way back to Broad street to follow it back out to 60. On the way I pass a marble slab with an inscription. It says that near here was the Hanging Tree, a sycamore where L.B. Grime and C.D. Hawley were lynched in 1882 for the holdup murder of two men. It says the culprits had a 'fair hearing' before someone on Tuesday evening, and at 2 a.m. Wednesday morning they were taken out and hanged. 'Saloons were closed and it was an orderly lynching.' And--get this--the monument is dedicated to the law enforcement officers of Gila County. 'Protect and serve.' Behind it stands a young sycamore, perhaps twenty years old, which might be a descendant of the Hanging Tree.
That’s a pretty interesting commentary on local law enforcement. I don't know about you, but I get a little nervous in a place that brags, in the name of the law no less, about an orderly lynching.'
There's even a rant about "right wing radio." I love it.

Tips for Holiday Charity Giving
Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard offers some tips on how to avoid holiday consumer scams:
Make sure you know how your donation will be distributed and how much actually goes to the charity itself, rather than to administrative costs.
Except for the well known traditional bell ringers, don’t give cash and make sure your check is payable to the charity, not an individual.
Never give out personal information to a solicitor either by phone, mail or at your door.
And never give a donation to a charity that offers to take your donation directly from your account, or asks you to send a donation by courier/overnight express mail, or asks you to wire your donation. Donate directly to the organization, either in person—at an event sponsored by the charity—or through the US Postal Service.
