DCNR evaluating overcrowding at Beltzville
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources officials today met with local legislators to update them on plans for a study related to the local community and visitor experience at the 3,002-acre Beltzville State Park in Carbon County.
Especially on summer holiday weekends, crowds often exceed the capacity of the park's parking lots and other facilities.
"With the help of a contractor, DCNR will be talking with different stakeholders who live and work around, and visit the park, about the challenges that the park's popularity presents, and about whether they have any suggested solutions," DCNR Director of the Bureau of State Parks John Hallas said.
Ann Toole of Toole Recreation Planning met with state Rep. Doyle Heffley and staff from the office of state Sen. John Yudichak. Toole will be interviewing stakeholders for their perspective on the challenges and solutions.
The information gathered will be used to create a public survey that will be conducted through Penn State.
Starting in mid-summer of this year, Penn State representatives will visit the park to survey visitors in person through Labor Day weekend, and would anticipate returning in 2019 to survey from Memorial Day weekend through mid-summer.
The land at the park is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood control, and managed for recreation by DCNR.
Attractions at Beltzville State Park include Pohopoco Creek, an excellent trout stream that feeds the 949-acre Beltzville Lake, which is a destination for boaters. Other attractions include the 525-feet sand swimming beach; and picnic areas.

are every resident in the
commonwealth. Politicians should be very careful attempting to side with anyone who moves against the use of state property by targeted commonwealth residents. This picture strongly suggest the target. Shame TN.
You don't have a problem with this? Do YOU?
I didn't think so! Ignorant....
Study, study, study, delay, and delay. It is an old yet very effective government trick.
I too have went here since the 70's, and it's true, it got crowded back then. On days when the lot was full, my Dad would leave and say we had to get there earlier next time. He didn't just park where he felt like it and teach us that we "deserve" to be here regardless of the rules.
And someone said litter was just as bad back than?? That's someone who truly wasn't there back then. It was not even close by any stretch of the imagination. The park was pristine and only occasionally may there have been extra trash piled on top of the dumpster. That is why there is a limit to the number of people who can reasonably enjoy this resource at the one time.
As for bacteria levels being from "farms", why than every year is there higher levels of bacteria, and less farms than there ever was around the lake?
Nearly very lake and river beach that is free, or relatively cheap in rural Pa has been enveloped with minority elements that seem to not have the same value for cleanliness as the rest of us.
Whether we just bicker about this forever or choose to really enforce existing "no parking" signs and make changes that can really make a positive difference is at the hands of those in charge.
It seems like for the past decade those in charge are not willing to "break a few eggs" to make a cake. Maybe it's time for some new bakers that will look out for the "quality" of the resource they are collecting paychecks to protect, and not be afraid to be considered 'racist' by enforcing the laws.
And congratulations to all that continue to throw trash out cars windows and make Pennsylvania roads look disgusting. It is nobody's job to pick up our trash. It is each person's responsibility to put it where it belongs in the first place.
Please understand on the crowded weekends there are dumpsters spaced along the parking lot to the beach area. You can't leave the beach area and not pass withing 50 feet of a dumpster yet there will be trash - and I mean trash like you cannot believe all over the parking lot.
Now drive over to the boat launch. It too is PACKED yet there's no trash or very little. And there's no dumpster there. Why is that?
I don't like the same things DIGGINGOUT@1 mentioned. Something tells me if you could understand Spanish that's a lot of what you'd be hearing (cursing and such) at the lake. However, we are not talking about rednecks, beer bellies, vulgar little kids, or fat cows. That's a discussion for maybe Mauch Chunk Lake, or the Carbon County Fair. We're talking about slobs throwing their trash all over a state park.
It's not illegal to be a fat, stupid, vulgar, bare bellied, beer guzzling redneck unless you add smoking in the wrong place. Then you might be arrested.
It is illegal to litter in a State Park - no matter who you are.
How you going to direct traffic? The park is full and more people what to get in. So they park on Pohopoco Road and walk in like in the picture above. By the way those signs in the picture say NO PARKING.
If you, me, and everyone posting went down the the lake on Thursday and parked on the grass and threw garbage on the ground NEXT TO OUR PARKED CAR the Rangers would be all over us and WE would have a problem. Now if we did that the 1,500 of our friends the PARK would have a problem.
And that's where we're at.
I am so happy that our little community has this place to offer to all who want to enjoy. I don't expect someone to drive for two hours to get here, see there is no parking and turn around to go home. People are people - whether they're clean or messy. It would be ideal if throngs of people would leave the place in pristine condition after a holiday weekend, but they don't.
So hey, State of PA, don't take a survey, don't ask stakeholders their opinion, and for heaven's sake, no referendums. Do your job, make the decisions, hire the workers, add a parking lot, and just deal with the problem. To the rest of you. Go! Go there and enjoy it, locals and "outsiders" alike. Go and enjoy it to the fullest, have a great day there!
Perhaps the solution is to hand out beach/launch access passes to keep count. Once they hit the cap, put a sign at 209 and 534 and another at 209 and Harrity that says the beach is closed or the park is at capacity so that people don't continue to drive toward the lake and creating a bottleneck on Pocohopo. I think you can also pass legislation that littering at State Parks carries and EXTREME cost in fines. Something like $1000 for the first offense. They may not pay it, but the perpetrator likely won't be coming back to the lake anytime soon. There are things that can be done to control the madness.
I've always thought and advocated for some kind of entrance fee. $3.00 to $5.00 per carload isn't going to break anybody's budget. And Carbon County residents should be able to either purchase or register for a low or no-cost season pass they can put on their dashboard. We also have to realize that we've experienced a population boom of epic proportions in the past 30 years or so. There's not a lot of pristine farmland or woodland available in the area. The added pressure on Beltzville or any other local attractions is a manifestation of the burgeoning population. State and local governments need to come up with a workable solution that helps to preserve places like Beltzville, alleviates overcrowding, but still allows anybody to enjoy the facilities.
My family and I were so excited to go to the local lake. I see first hand all the overcrowding and garbage. The garbage is not just on land it's also out in the lake there has been countless times I stopped and picked up plastic bottles and bags along with other things out in the lake. It's not just the problem with trash on the beeches it's going to eventually affect the wildlife of the lake. I live ten minutes from beltzville and I drive to lake wallenpaupake to fish and enjoy swimming and nature. The reason why all "the city folk" come to beltzville is simple. All the parks and lakes in New Jersey and New York you have to pay to get in so the city folk would rather drive hours to a free lake. Then they are free to party destroy and wreck those people don't come to enjoy and embrace its a party with no clean up and go home. I met people out there from the five boroughs of New York. Very rude ignorant people on personal watercraft cutting people off cursing at others in front of kids it's horrid and there needs to be a change. Everything is going to stay exactly as business as usual until we the people of this area stand together and force change. I have spoke to a couple people and they keep saying can't charge it's a free park. Well I say B.S it's owned by the army corps of engineers and ran by dcnr ok great we need to go to the army corps of engineers and have them make the change. It's easy local carbon residents is free pa residents 2 dollars a person 5 a person for out of state people. Boats registered in pa free every other 20 dollars for the day. And with the extra money they can hire more guards to patrol and fine the redneck slobs for littering having alcohol and everything else.

Tom Hardy has signed on to star in the film adaptation of Ubisoft's video game series "Splinter Cell" which is still seeking a studio.
The six games in the series thus far follow a covert operative and have sold twenty-three million units over the years. The film's story centers on Sam Fisher, a highly-trained operative in a secretive unit known as Echelon.
Eric Singer ("The International") has come onboard to pen the screenplay, while Ubisoft is expected to be very involved and retain control over how the game is translated into a film.
The film has been in the works for nearly as decade with Peter Berg previously attached to direct.

The JooJoo tablet, big in Europe but not much else, now runs Windows 7 with touchscreen controls for some reason thanks to Joojoo Forums dweller darkdavy.
The tablet runs about four hours with Windows 7 shoehorned in there, during which time it doubles as a space heater thanks to the heat it puts off as it chugs along trying to keep up.
There's a video and instructions in the forums so you can play along at home. Also, soothing birds of paradise:
Drawbacks? Well aside from a warm lap, the accelerometer does not work with Win7, nor does 3G. [JooJoo Forums via Engadget]

|Assistant Coach - Defensive Line
|(617) 496-6765
|Previous College:
|Bates 2005
|Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas
|12th Season
Michael Horan enters his 12th season as an assistant coach for Harvard football in 2020. Horan is in his ninth season at the helm of the defensive line after serving for three years as assistant defensive line coach.
He recruits student-athletes in the southwest United States, including Texas and Oklahoma.
Horan directed a defensive line that was a problem for opposing offenses in 2019. The Crimson ranked first in the FCS in team sacks (4.3 per game), fifth in team tackles for loss (8.6 per game) and sixth in rushing defense (89.8 yards per game), all of which led the Ivy League. Horan tutored first-team all-Ivy League performer Brogan McPartland, who totaled an Ivy-best 9.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss in just seven games, and Honorable Mention all-Ivy League selection Nasir Darnell, who led the Crimson with three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Harvard capped the 2018 campaign by defeating Yale, 45-27, in the highest scoring episode of The Game. The Crimson earned 13 All-Ivy selections, including five on the first team, and finished 6-4 overall and 4-3 in the Ivy League. Stone Hart was a finalist for the Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year.
For the second year in a row, two defensive linemen earned All-Ivy recognition, as Hart and Richie Ryan were both honored by the conference. The Crimson finished third in the league with 26 sacks and was also third in run defense.
Two members of the defensive line - DJ Bailey and Langston Ward - earned All-Ivy League recognition in 2016, as Harvard finished 7-3 overall. The Crimson defense ranked No. 7 in the country in rushing defense and 15th overall in points allowed per game.
The defensive line helped the Crimson to its 17th Ivy title in 2015 by allowing just 13.0 points per game. Defensive end James Duberg was named to the All-Ivy second team after registering 16 tackles and four quarterback hurries.
In 2014, the Crimson posted the program's 17th undefeated, untied record, going 10-0 overall and winning the team's 16th Ivy title. The defensive line was at the center of the championship run, helping the Crimson rank first in the nation in scoring defense (12.3 points allowed per game) and fourth in rushing defense (86.8 yards allowed per game). Zack Hodges was named the co-recipient of the Asa S. Bushnell Cup, as Ivy Co-Defensive Player of the Year, and was one of three defensive linemen to be named to the All-Ivy team.
Horan's defensive line helped Harvard claim its 15th Ivy League title in 2013. The squad made up the nation's sixth-best rushing defense (97.3 yards allowed per game), while the Crimson's scoring defense came in at 25th allowing just 22.7 points per game. Harvard recovered 13 fumbles to tie for 15th nationally and lead the Ancient Eight, while Zach Hodges '15 was the recipient of the Asa S. Bushnell Cup.
In Horan's first season heading up the defensive line, the 2012 group helped Harvard lead the nation in rushing defense (69.4 yards allowed per game) and sacks (4.2 per game). Defensive ends Hodges and John Lyon '13 ranked among the nation's top 20 in sacks per game, and three linemen earned All-Ivy honors.
In 2011, defensive tackle Josue Ortiz '12 was named the Ivy League's Defensive Player of the Year and was an All-America selection. Harvard's defense led the Ivies in scoring defense, rushing defense and sacks and ranked among the nation's top 15 teams in each of those categories.
Since graduating from Bates College in 2005, Horan has coached at four colleges and one high school. He began his coaching career at Stoughton High School, where he worked as an assistant coach under his former head coach, Greg Burke. After one season at Stoughton, Horan moved on to become the tight ends coach at Curry College. During his time at Curry, the Colonels went undefeated in the regular season, captured the New England Football Conference championship and qualified for the Division III playoffs.
In 2007, Horan was named linebackers coach at Kings Point, and in 2008, he moved to Wagner, where he coached the defensive backs.
At Bates, Horan was a senior captain and a two-time All-New England Small College Athletic Conference selection at safety as well as an All-ECAC pick in 2004.
Horan resides in Waltham, Massachusetts, with his wife, Susie, and son, Thomas.

Olof Krans
The paintings of Olof Krans provide one of the best chronicles of daily life at Bishop Hill and of its citizens. With more than 90 paintings, Krans became one of Americas's famous folk artists. Without Krans paintings there would have been no pictures of life in the colony or pictures of it's people. His paintings command very high prices.
Olof Ersson was born on November 2,1838 in a small hamlet of Sälja in Tarnsjö Parish in northern Uppland of Sweden . The family arrived at Bishop Hill in 1850 during the second wave of Jasonists to Bishop Hill. Shortly after it's leader, Eric Janson, was murdered at the courthouse in Cambridge .
During the first two winters at the colony Olof attended school and as he got older he was an ox boy and later worked in the black smith and paint shops. When the Civil War began Lincoln called for volunteers. The colonists, proud to be Americans, raised an entire company and Olof was among the volunteeres. When he entered the army he changed his lat name to Krans. In Sweden when men entered the army they often changed their surnames. There were so many Johanssons, Anderssons and Olssons that when the name was called often several dozen men would step forward. The name Krans meant "wreath" and the whole family then took the name.
After the battle of Fort Donnelson in Tennesee he became ill and was given a disability discharge in June of 1862. During his time in the service there were two things that he looked forward to. One was returning to Bishop Hill and marrying his childhood sweetheart. Those two things became his biggest disappointment. After years of prosperity the communal colony had been dissolved in 1862 and his sweetheart had married somebody else. Olof Krans became deeply depressed and during this time he earned a living operating a horse drawn photography studio.
Eventually Krans shook off his depression and married in 1867 and moved to Galva. There he became a house painter and also did interior decorating. Krans would often use his imagination when decorating Galva's Methodist Church soon had vines and flowers painted on the pews and ceiling of the Lutheran church had a beautiful blue sky with golden stars twinkling.
In 1896 while he was recovering from a fall that left him crippled for a time, he began painting memories and people from his beloved Bishop Hill. There were no photographs at that time but in his paintings he captured the quiet, peaceful life of the colony and the strong determined faces of the Swedish settlers. The most popular being a painting of long lines of men and woman sowing in the fields. In his painting Krans documented daily life at Bishop Hill.
On the colony's 50 th anniversary Krans donated a large portions of his paintings to the colony. Now most of them belong to the collection of the Olof Krans Museum at Bishop Hill which was dedicated by the governor of Illinois in 1988 and witnessed by Princess Christina of Sweden .
Some of his paintings are also on display at the Tarnjö Museum in Sweden,only a short distance from the house where he was born.More than 30 paintings, presented in Tärnsjö, are photographically very well-made reproductions. The photos have been taken and produced under guidance of "Nordiska Museet's" keeper Sören Hallgren, who with great interests and very much skill accomplished these reproductions in full scale.
Olof Krans died on January 4,1916 in Altona. At the time of his death he had finished more than 90 pictures.

Online Creative Writing Graduate Programs & Graduate Schools
Pursuing online graduate writing programs could be a flexible way to earn your graduate degree from the convenience of your own home. And, since the coursework is digital, you could pursue online graduate writing programs when your schedule (or inspiration) allows.
Online Graduate Creative Writing Program Basics
The goal of most online graduate creative writing programs is to develop students' writing finesse. To do this, many programs place writing, style, and technique development at the forefront of their digital curriculum. Where programs may differ is in the genre they concentrate on. While curriculum requirements may be similar, each program might look at writing through a different lens.
For example, students could focus on some of the following genres in their degree program.
- Poetry
- Fiction
- Young Adult Fiction
- Children's Fiction
- Creative Nonfiction
- Literary Translation
This may be an important consideration when choosing a great online graduate writing program for you. Genres offered may vary by school, so read program descriptions carefully. Then speak with your preferred programs for more details.
Why Earn your Graduate Creative Writing Degree Online?
Aside from the convenience, an online creative writing graduate program might offer other potential benefits. Below are a few more reasons why you should consider the online program type.
- You could receive near-instant feedback from your peers. Email and instant messaging could allow you to send multiple drafts of your work to your classmates and professors for review. This might provide you with additional critique outside of class time.
- You could write from the comfort of your own writing space. Some people might feel more comfortable writing in a specific place. And for some, that might not be a classroom! As long as your work is turned in, you could have the freedom to write where you like.
- Writers aren't known for keeping conventional hours. And, an online program reflects that! Students may be able to write and send feedback as their schedule (or writing routine) allows. This might be a great choice if you're currently pursuing professional endeavors during typical class times. Or, you just happen to be a night owl!
Online Creative Writing Graduate Degrees
Online creative writing graduate programs are typically offered at three different degree levels. While they share similar goals and formats, each may dive into core topics to varying depths. Additionally, each degree type may be designed for students with different levels of experience and education. Depending on your educational goals, you might want to consider one of the following options.
Online Masters in Creative Writing Programs
The online masters in creative writing program is a holistic program that covers both writing and key parts of the literary canon so that students may comprehensively understand the art form. This combination of courses may offer a behind the scenes look into how to effectively craft piece of work beyond simple plot points.
Workshops are a key part of online masters writing program's curriculum because they may require students to consistently produce new works. Not only could this be a great way to practice, but to also receive feedback. During these programs, you may be asked to submit current works in progress so that your peers could offer critiques. This constructive feedback may prove vital in developing your narrative.
For online students, these classes are typically conducted via internet forums, email, and instant message services. Students could submit their works to the class, and download feedback as it is made available.
It's important to note that these programs often blend students studying different literary genres together. This way, the feedback you receive could offer a new perspective on your work. For instance, someone writing creative nonfiction might be able to provide new insight on your young adult work. Workshop requirements and structure may vary by program. Speak with potential schools for more details.
In addition to workshops, online creative writing masters programs also offer core courses and electives for students to flesh out their literary knowledge. During your studies, you might encounter the following subjects.
- Literary Adaption
- Cross-genre Writing
- Literary Criticism
- Regional Writing Traditions
This is only a sample of some class you could take. These and other electives may be great to add to your curriculum because they expand upon the techniques you could use for your stories. Straying outside your personal bubble to study these new methods might act as inspiration for your art. Course offerings and requirements differ by program. Check out a school program syllabi to find one that matches your interests.
Thesis & Graduation
Students pursuing an online masters in creative writing may be required to submit one completed work in lieu of a typical thesis. This could be work you might have completed during your workshop courses. After graduation, you might want to use this piece as part of your professional portfolio. Or, even try to publish it!
Considering the above-mentioned curriculum and thesis, students could potentially earn an online masters in creative writing in 1 to 3 years depending on enrollment. Program length varies by school.
Online Doctorate in Creative Writing Programs
Online doctoral creative writing programs may allow students to dive deeper into their own writing process. That is because these programs tend to focus more on the workshop experience as opposed to courses. This is probably most evident in their dissertation requirement. Unlike other doctoral programs, PhDs in creative writing may require students to produce a full length, completed work to be submitted to a committee. Dissertations could include some of the following forms.
- Manuscripts
- Short Stories
- Poems
- Screenplays
Your dissertation may leave you with a completed work that has been edited by your peers and professors, much like the masters program. This might be a great asset when looking for a potential publisher. Keeping in mind the dissertation and class requirements, students could earn an online doctorate degree in 3 to 5 years. Program length may vary by program.
Creative Writing Graduate Certificate Programs
Online graduate certificate creative writing programs might be a perfect choice for students who want to quickly develop their writing skills. These programs generally focus on a specific genre of writing as opposed to combining multiple. By doing this, they create a succinct, workshop oriented curriculum. This might help students hone their writing ability without taking additional elective courses.
Not to mention, the online format could help you take on this relatively quick timeline in your own schedule. This might allow you to pursue other professional goals simultaneously to your academic ones.
With the brief curriculum and convenient scheduling, students could potentially earn a creative writing graduate certificate in under a year.
High & Low Residency Programs
Many online graduate writing programs require students to take part in a residency program. Much like the name implies, this usually involves students living and writing on campus. This intensive could allow students to wholly focus on their writing without outside interruption. And, during this time, you may also be living with fellow creative writing students. As a group, you could be able to contribute feedback to each other to help refine your works.
The residency program usually does require students to come on campus. But, there are options. When researching, you may find that there are high residency or low residency programs. High residency programs last from 2 to 6 weeks. Low residency programs, which are commonly associated with online studies, could last around 10 days. Residency length varies by program.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'holiday' tag.
The holiday season is officially here, with just a month until the new year, and less than a month until Christmas Eve. It's a time of year when many families are thinking about charitable giving and what organizations need help.
It's also the time for holiday giving advice, and over the last few years, we've seen a push towards a more informed, personalized giving. We've been told to give strategically and to treat giving like a project, looking for outcomes. In general this isn't a bad way to look at things, and can help in terms of deciding on a charity of choice, but it's not about a return on investment.
Recently, the Globe and Mail came out with some holiday advice in terms of giving, as treating your gift like an investment, and focusing on the tax break you get as a result. And they included the idea that since businesses don't always highlight personal stories in quarterly reports, charities shouldn't either.
This is similar to the Kickstarter effect where charities are advised to show a real goal and bring people together to meet that goal. Not a bad idea, and often the big payoff of a number is a long-standing success metric for specific campaigns, especially around the holidays.
Here's the problem: most of the charities who need your help don't need one big thing. They need operating costs covered, they need additional space, they need to hire another resource, they need new plumbing, they need building repairs and maintenance, they need the things that every organization needs, and it's not sexy.
A Focus on Things, not Service
Let's use an example: a hospital in your area needs a new MRI machine. That piece of equipment comes with a price tag that can be easily turned into a goal for lots of people, who then get to say at the end 'look, I helped get that machine!' This is obviously useful and will help lots of people who need that machine. It's an unqualified win for you, for the hospital and for the community. The perception is fantastic! People all helped to buy a new thing, and having that thing will help loads of people. And it comes with prestige to boot.
However. The same hospital also needs 12 additional beds for mental health care, a new admin hire to keep the outpatient clinic open late and two extra nurses. The hospital could wrap those things into a package and run a campaign to upgrade the mental health unit, but it will be harder to get people into the idea of donating funds to salaries and laundry service and other operating costs. So a good idea to get people interested is to tell stories about families helped by the unit. It's not an 'exemplary employee' situation like you'd see in a business's success report, it's a preview of the real value an organization can offer.
Here's the other perception problem:
It's too easy to conflate the salaries of badly needed hires and increased hours of operation with 'administration' and assume it means that the organization that needs your donation isn't properly funding 'projects' or 'equipment.' And I promise you, hospitals, libraries, women's shelters and animal rescues need funds to stay open. Funding operating costs is incredibly important, and isn't sexy in any way. But even worse, it can be seen as some kind of proof that the organization isn't running well and can't keep itself open. This is easy to deal with by looking for organizations that have been operating for a long time or have recently expanded.
Give to an organization.
Help the shelter that needs to increase their hours of operation. Buy a membership to a public art gallery. Spend on a day care who's funding has been cut. Donate to a hospital's general fund. Contribute to the YWCA's urgent needs. If your budget includes global charities, find an organization in good standing with a long history of helping others. Doctors Without Borders and Amnesty International come to mind.
One piece of advice from that same Globe and Mail article makes a lot of sense to me: volunteer your time to organizations you care about. If you work with them and see how things operate, you'll get a strong sense of the values and commitment of the organization.
This season, use your gift to keep things moving. Find an organization you care about and fund their greatest need. Give the gift of staying open, expanding the offering, and of continuous service.
And remember, it's a gift. Not a loan, it's not a business plan. Give expecting nothing in return, and volunteer expecting only to improve your own community.
Happy Holidays!

Chipola will have much to get used to in the coming days, most notably playing in higher altitude, but considering the alternative the Lady Indians won�t offer many complaints.
Chipola will have much to get used to in the coming days, most notably playing in higher altitude, but considering the alternative the Lady Indians won�t offer many complaints.
Chipola (43-9) begins play in the NJCAA Division I softball championship Wednesday in St. George, Utah. It�s Chipola�s third appearance at the event with a 2007 title on the ledger. The Lady Indians are one of 16 teams to qualify with hundreds of teams remaining at home to watch from afar.
The tournament features eight of the Top 20-ranked teams in the country, led by No. 1 and top-seeded Butler of Kansas. Sixth-ranked Salt Lake is the No. 2 seed, followed by Chipola (ranked 10th) and Northeastern Oklahoma A&M (No. 11). The double-elimination draw concludes with the championship Saturday.
This is Chipola�s first nationals trip since 2010 at the same venue. The long trip out west and the high altitude are two things the Lady Indians will contend with. The time change, two hours behind Central, and late starts also provide challenges.
Chipola opens against 14th-seeded Odessa, Texas (46-19) at 8:30 p.m. CDT in what is one of the latest start times in the tournament. No. 6 Iowa Western (41-12) and Lake Land (49-5) of Illinois are in the opposing bracket with winners and losers facing off Thursday.
The Lady Indians surged to a 5-0 record and a state championship behind an offense that�s now hitting .364 as a team. Chipola scored 47 runs in throttling five opponents to secure the national berth.
Stephanie Garrels and Mya Anderson each continued a hot streak at the plate at state. Garrels raised her team-leading average to .491 to go along with 55 runs scored. Anderson adds a .458 average, a team-high nine homers, 57 RBIs and 53 runs.
Garrels also has led a Chipola team flashing speed with 48 steals. The Lady Indians have 205 steals as a team with eight posting double-digit totals.
Eva Voortman has carried Chipola in the pitcher�s circle with 141 1/3 innings. She�s 21-2 with a 0.94 ERA, 104 strikeouts and 35 walks to go along with 14 complete games and five shutouts. Sneads� Karissa Childs contributes an 11-7 record and a 2.45 ERA in 105 2/3 innings.

Team Summit Colorado dominates first age class race of the season
Team Summit Colorado hosted the first Bolle Age Class Race Series of the season at Breckenridge Ski Resort in early January, and emerged with 63 top 10 finishes, with 17 of those being podium results.
The Bolle Age Class Race Series is for young alpine ski racers ages 8-13 years old and is a U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association Rocky Mountain Division event. Nearly 160 athletes from Steamboat Springs, Crested Butte, Eldora and Breckenridge traveled to compete with Team Summit Colorado in four races on Breckenridge Ski Resort's Cimarron Run on Peak 10.
There were plenty of nerves at the start of the first race of the busy competition season, and coupled with the cold January temperatures, it seemed there were plenty of obstacles to overcome. But the Team Summit athletes have been preparing for months leading up to this race since last season's spring camps at Arapahoe Basin, summer race camps at Mount Hood, while leading into the regular season training at Copper Mountain and Breckenridge.
Soon, though, nerves disappeared as excitement prevailed.
The U10 boys and girls dominated the podium.
In a single race, Aiden Olsson, Dylan Smith and Michael DeBlois swept the podium while Meagan Brones left the weekend with four gold medals.
The U12 boys and girls also skied fast, with Michael Dudzic and Pete Dohr finding themselves frequently on the boys' podium. Maddox Gayer landed herself two silver medals and one bronze and Helenka Ostasziewski stayed in the top 10 every race.
The U14 boys and girls had similar results. Peyton Brones won two races in addition to a second and a third. Megan Andersen had a top 10 finish every race.
A special thanks goes out to Breckenridge Ski Resort and all the volunteers that made the first race of the season a big success for Team Summit Colorado and all participating athletes and teams.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Yes..thats the Q..i have only owned one Traxxas car erlier, and that was one of the first Revo 1/16 in Sweden ( http://traxxas.com/forums/showthread...=1#post4073766 ) and that one was a REAL good car..it held up for almost everything..but im racing 1/16 cars only today, but i miss some hardcore bashing!!
So, the Stampede 4x4, does it held up for some power?
If i am buying the 4x4, what is the MUST upgrade for it to take some power
Al info, or link would be real greatfull
I was thinking of, 2,3s or maybe 4s lipo, sandpaws an all 4 corners, or Masher2000
can you help me?
Best regards Thomas
TpParts RcXtreme | Xray XT8e 2019 | MAXX 4s
Only thing you have to upgrade is the CVD'S. The diffs are the same as a Revo and handle way more power than a MERV could ever handle.
Had-> MERV, ERBE, Stampede 4x4
Thank you DC, sounds great
Are there any special rims for this one to..i do not remeber, or does any, "larger" 12mm hex rims fit ? same rear and front ?
TpParts RcXtreme | Xray XT8e 2019 | MAXX 4s
You could also install 17mm adapters and run 17mm hex wheels.
Had-> MERV, ERBE, Stampede 4x4
If you want to run 3S or 4S youll need to look into a better power system. The Castle MMP/SCT 2400 combo can handle 3S all day long and 4S if you wanted. It takes a small bit of chassis modding (nothing major, just removing some plastic) to get it to fit but IMO its the best 3S or higher setup you can run in this truck and will blow your mind in terms of power. Its worth it.
Thanks you all for this input, just ordering a truck =) MMP - 4600 motor and some 4s lipos
tower or amain do not have the MIPs...any idea where they can be bought? RPM parts ?
TpParts RcXtreme | Xray XT8e 2019 | MAXX 4s
The two main motor choices for the Stampede 4x4 are the Castle 3800kv and the Castle 2400kv, the later actually comes in a combo with the MMP. Both of those motors are 4-pole motors and have the torque required for a larger vehicle such as the stampede.
That 4600kv motor would be a good choice for something like a really light 2wd buggy or stadium truck. There are more factors than just the KV when it comes to a motor, and generally speaking, it's the lower KV motors you should be looking for to get the power you need for a truck like the stampede. KV is only one factor in speed, with the right battery and gearing the 2400kv can be faster than the 4600kv would ever dream of.
And you want to run the 4600kv on 4s? You're in for a big surprise...

Be aware that the battery tray is pretty small, I would check dimensions. Also 4s is gonna be quite beastly. Might consider 3s as your everyday driver.
I would do RPM arms, front and rear.
Did you get 5mm pinions? I would just go for 1/8, save alot of money, and I'm not a fan of any type of reducer.
_ 3 lines are all that's allowed in a sig.
Sorry for all bump, but i am so glad...did found that the local dealer had all the RPM parts for the Stampede in stock..so now the car is almost done
TpParts RcXtreme | Xray XT8e 2019 | MAXX 4s
Great setup. I run my pede with the 2400 motor geared 18/54 on 3 but that may be just a bit high. the gearing options you've purchased should allow you to run all day with no issues.
Not even close.The battery tray is small? Isn't it the same size as the battery tray of the Slash 4x4?
_ 3 lines are all that's allowed in a sig.
This 4s lipos have the same dimension as the IB 5600 2s lipo (not hight)
thanks for all help guys, il be posting later
every part are shipped...besides the lipos.

You have a nice set up in the works. I find the 2400 combo to be smooth as butter, I'm running 3s and really think its an awsome motor for torque and speed.
I'm not a hatchet man! I'm a maggot!
Sounds real good, q is are the Bandlads any good...maybe the Masher2000 is the key to have fun in the gravelpit?
What bigbore from traxxas fit the car and what type of Proli e powerstroke shocks can be fitted? They have slash and longer ones
Maybe im loosing it ..ordered a set of IMEX Claws, like DC, RPM Wide Clawz, Jconcept Ford Raptor SVT, Sponsordecals from Parma..
Looked over my sons truck, and ofcourse i missed a set of Sandpaws for my 4x4..just ordered them and revolver wide + more decals..

Sounds good CC,Thats my goal to get people interested. why dont you just get one :-) for your self
TpParts RcXtreme | Xray XT8e 2019 | MAXX 4s
I would, but I am in the process of rebuilding my fleet (I currently have 9 vehicles!). Maybe someday. The Stampede platform is my all-time favorite (my first hobby class R/C was an E-Stampede 11 years ago)...I suspect that I will pick a 4x4 Stampede up sooner or later.

I have own several traxxas vehicles, and the pede was the last I thought was getting, I love this truck nice build Thomas.
Thanks RC-Fan...small update today..passed by the LHS..and did find some REAL BB shocks..app 100 dollars, 2 sets of pistons, and 2 sets of spring was included.. it is front shocks for a 1/8 buggy..it is app 3 mm shorter then rear stock, and app 4 longer then front, but it will fit my style, outer on front arm will be perfect, and inner on rear
And then i tired the truck on my lunch (bought shocks later)..on gravel,tarmack....it is inzane..and so fun...what a CAR
TpParts RcXtreme | Xray XT8e 2019 | MAXX 4s
Depending on the shock's compressed length you can also internally limit the front 4mm and use the stock holes. Also on the rear you can unscrew the lower mount a bit to get a bit more length or replace with longer ones
Had-> MERV, ERBE, Stampede 4x4
Yep, thats true DC..il be finishing thoose tomorrow...now it is time for a cold one
TpParts RcXtreme | Xray XT8e 2019 | MAXX 4s
So i have mounted them..they fits perfect, and are real BigBore shocks..i have not tuned the shocks to the point where i likeém..but almost.

Since I also live in Europe (my great granddad was even Swedish!) and know what the prices are compared to the US, that truck must have cost you quite some krones...
Awesome truck...

Nobody is born with experience
Thanks m8, o yes, it was not free ...app little over 1000$ all this costed me, and i must say, it was with out a doubt one of my best spend money..the truck is..inzane, with the setup i have, and best of all, it is fun,and hold up..

Tomas p I just finally got mine up and running, with a much milder setup(1800kv castle/mmp 4s), and it is indeed an awesome experience. Your truck must really haul the mail... How is your stability with the 2.2's? All I have is 2.8's and I like the look of the 2.2's better.
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Rag they do the job good on gravel and grass etc, maybe little unstable spec with 2400 and 4s lipo..:-) you are right this car is a beast, i like my car better with the badlands but it is ok with the paws.
Id say masher2k or badlands on rpm wide crawlwr rims
i hope i am right here..but this is a Bashing/monstertruck car..The handling should not be perfect..But just to run the car, or maybe only change Oil and spring cant be the best.
This is how i do it..regardless car.
I love bashing, i have always..but there is racing in my blood, and therefore a natural thing is to "setup" a car...Basher or a racer i do not care. Why have you to adapt to the car?

If you're struggling with bad credit, the credit system can seem like a towering deck of cards precipitously stacked against you. However, while the consequences for having poor credit are tough today, the truth is that in ages past they were much worse — for everyone. Borrowers were dealt with harshly, and lenders were, too.
So join me, won't you, in my credit spaceship of the imagination, as we journey back in history, to a time when things were simpler … and the credit laws more horrific.
The Code of Hammurabi (1780 B.C.)
This ancient Babylonian code of laws is one of the earliest known written works — and it's full of rules relating to credit and debt. In some ways, it's a pretty measured approach to credit: The rules restrict creditors on the amount of interest they can charge, and allow debtors options for how they will repay a debt. Yet some of those options are pretty extreme. Take, for example, this code: "If any one fail to meet a claim for debt, and sell himself, his wife, his son, and daughter for money or give them away to forced labor: they shall work for three years in the house of the man who bought them, or the proprietor, and in the fourth year they shall be set free."
The Old Testament – Ezekiel (592-570 B.C.)
There's a reason that the Old Testament has a fire-and-brimstone reputation. The consequences for transgressions are severe. And in the Book of Ezekiel, usury is considered a transgression. The passage in question — Ezekiel 18 verse 13 from the New International Bible — is decidedly unambiguous. "He lends at interest and takes a profit. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he is to be put to death; his blood will be on his own head."
I wonder what the punishment for the financial crisis would have been.
The Seventh Circle of Hell, Dante's Inferno, The Divine Comedy (1308-1321)
Dante's Inferno is an epic poem detailing one man's journey through hell. While this literary work didn't serve as the basis for the law of the land at that time, at the very least it offers a view of the values of people living in the 14th century. So in Dante's vision, guess who resides in the seventh circle of hell? Usurers, who charge excessive interest. Other residents include warmongers, murderers and blasphemers. All of them spend an eternity in a desert of fire, where it also happens to rain fire … which sounds even worse than Times Square on a summer Friday afternoon.

In the meantime, if you want to figure out what your credit looks like before you wind up in the seventh circle of debtors' hell – which is where I think anyone with excessive student loan debt probably already feels like they are – get a free copy of your credit reports every year and go to Credit.com for answers to your credit questions, your free credit scores and a clear explanation of why they are what they are.

US scientist in race to learn from Indonesia's dying glacier
The only glacier in the western Pacific could disappear in less than five years, taking with it vital clues about the earth's changing climate, a US scientist said Friday.
Ohio State University Professor Lonnie Thompson has just completed what he calls a "salvage mission" to extract ice cores from the glacier on Punjak Jaya, which soars above the tropical, reef-fringed waters of eastern Indonesia.
The ice core samples he collected after his 13-day trip to the Papuan central highlands are set to be shipped back to Chicago on Wednesday for further analysis.
But Thompson said one thing is clear: the glacier is dying.
"This is the only ice in the western end of the Pacific warm pool, which is the warmest water on earth. When it melts that history (from ice cores) is lost forever and there's no way we can recapture it," he told AFP.
"My biggest concern is that we may be too late to capture that history. Some is already missing from the top and from the bottom. How much of that history do we still have?"
Thompson estimated the glacier is disappearing at a rate of seven metres (22 feet) a year. As it is only about 32 metres deep, it could be gone in four or five years.
"Looking at the loss of ice that's been occurring since the 1830s we thought that we were looking at decades (before the Punjak Jaya ice disappeared)," he said.
"But I've never been to a glacier anywhere else in the world where it rains every day... If it rains on a glacier then that's the death of the glacier."
One of the world's leading experts, Thompson has visited glaciers from Kenya to Peru. But he said he had never seen anything like what he experienced in Papua, where the ice was visibly melting under his tent.
"It's the first glacier that I've visited where you can hear the water flowing underneath the ice," he said.
The 88 metres of ice samples from his expedition will be added to the Ohio State University's valuable archive of tropical ice cores, where it will remain available for researchers years after the glacier itself may have gone.
The study of glacier ice reveals evidence of past climate fluctuations, which can then be referenced with samples from other parts of the planet to get a better understanding of current climate change.
"We hope to be able to reconstruct past temperatures, look at the history of the ice here and compare that with ice from around the world, particularly with ice from the other side of the Pacific Ocean," Thompson said.
He said he hoped to publish his findings early next year.

Call Center Sees Irvine HQ as Brand Boost
Saturday, December 29, 2012
A call-center operator has moved its headquarters to Irvine from Chino, bringing a work force of 75 to Orange County.
Alorica Inc. has taken the entire 11th floor—about 20,000 square feet—at 5 Park Plaza in the Jamboree Center, an office complex owned by Newport Beach-based real estate development firm Irvine Company.
Alorica had leased about the same amount of space in Chino. It made the move to Irvine as part of a larger effort to bolster the company's stature, according to Chief Marketing Officer Amit Shankardass.
"In 2012, we embarked upon a rebranding effort for the company," Shankardass said. "We had a new logo and a new messaging system internally and externally. We also wanted to establish a better, more vibrant corporate environment for the company, which is what instigated our move to Irvine."
Irvine's infrastructure and convenience in transportation are among the factors that drew Alorica to the city.
"Things like hotels, restaurants and entertainment, as well as the office's proximity to John Wayne Airport—all of these are factors that attracted us," Shankardass said.
Alorica provides customer-management outsourcing services from 40 call centers across the U.S. and abroad. It has more than 20,000 employees companywide, with about 16,000 in the U.S.
The company caters to a number of industries, such as financial services, retail, utilities and tourism. Its services range from technical support and online chatting platforms to social media support.
The 12-year-old company is privately held and does not disclose financial data, but Shankardass said it has seen "substantial growth over the last three to four years, growing approximately 20% year over year."
Hiring also has grown, which is typical in the labor-intensive call-center business, which often sees companies "hiring hundreds every year," according to Shankardass.
Industry Growth
Alorica isn't alone when it comes to growth. The National Association of Call Centers describes the U.S. call-center industry as "among the first industries to recover from the recession."
"Encouraging employment data, [which] show a positive trend in contact-center employment for the last eight quarters, [have] buoyed the industry," wrote Paul Stockford, research director at the Hattiesburg, Miss.-based organization, in a July 2011 paper, the latest such report available.
Stockford's study indicates the call-center market includes some 66,000 offices and more than 3.5 million workers in the U.S.
Most of Alorica's new hires will be made at offices beyond OC.
Shankardass said the company isn't likely to open a call center here, but will continue to look for opportunities to expand its headquarters.

Denver Bronco Rod Smith: Thanks, little piggies, for providing insulin, but that's as far as it goes
Ever on the lookout for new ways to earn money, Gleneen Brienza and the committee for 2012 Brass Ring Luncheon hit on something truly unusual: Nominating four high-profile people for the dubious honor of "winning" the chance to kiss a pig.
Former Denver Bronco Rod Smith, firefighter Derek Trombetta, Mrs. Colorado Courtney Graham and Judy McNeil a past president of the sponsoring Guild of the Children's Diabetes Foundation, were the contenders; the winner would be decided by how many $20 votes were placed in their name.
Turns out Smith, a member of the Broncos' Ring of Fame, and McNeil, who is also a past chair of Brass Ring, each received an equal number of votes and were called to the stage to do their duty by mistress of ceremonies Kim Christiansen of 9News.
