More college-bound Californians are heading out of state
◼ Fed up with tuition increases and frustrated by rejection at packed California universities, more high school graduates than ever are ditching the state to attend college. - Phillip Reese/Sacramento Bee h/t: MH
Boise State saw its freshmen enrollment from California rise tenfold during the last decade. Arizona State doubled its enrollment of freshmen from California. The University of Oregon has quadrupled it, with freshman enrollment from California growing from 280 in 2000 to 1,100 in 2010.
...The trend, revealed in a Bee review of federal data, comes as the University of California system has stepped up its own efforts to attract out-of-state students. Despite those moves, taken largely to pay the bills, the number of students leaving the state for a four-year college far outpaces the number coming here....
The worst-case scenario for California is that a large number of students who leave the state for college don't return, leading to "brain drain."
...California still retains a higher rate of high school graduates than many other states, including New York. It's fallen from near the top to the middle of the pack.
But California needs all the college graduates it can get, said Thad Domina, assistant professor of education at UC Irvine.
"The creation of human capital," he said, "is a major driver for economic growth."

Darby was part of a group calling itself the 2008 “RNC Welcoming Committee.” When Darby learned that the group planned to throw molotov cocktails at the crowds, he went to the FBI and became an informant.
◼ THE MOVEMENT: OCCUPY UNMASKED -- AGAIN - David Bossie/Breitbart's BIG Government
The “RNC Welcoming Committee” obviously was an extreme group and he knew it. Darby is a hero for revealing and stopping their bomb plots. Of course, he was vilified by the Left as a “snitch” and a “rat,” while the media focused on the idea of him betraying the liberal cause instead of shining a light on the radicals who sought to attack and harm innocent people attending the RNC....
In ◼ "Occupy Unmasked," we seek to expose the roots of what is now called Occupy Wall Street, tracing its insidious origins. Check out ◼ the film’s trailer on our website for a snapshot of what’s to come, and be sure to sign up for email updates about the documentary’s progress. Together we can continue Breitbart’s legacy, do the job the media refuses to do, and unmask the radical Left 's plans to fundamentally change America and eliminate what makes it great.

Obama tells Americans not to take chance on Romney
◼ "We are not turning back the clock, we are moving forward," Obama said, seeking to revive the political magic that swept him to power in 2008, and unleashing his most strident attack so far on the man who wants his job.
He said Romney, a multi-millionaire former venture capitalist, wanted to reward himself and rich friends with tax reductions and "rubber stamp" slashing spending cuts on education, clean energy and health care for the elderly.
"Ohio, I tell you what, we cannot give him that chance ... this is not just another election, this is a make or break moment for the middle class," Obama said.
