Camden Harbour Inn
Camden, Maine
Our No. 5 spot is a short drive from the coastal town of Camden, but our No. 4 spot trumps that from its soaring perch atop a central Camden hill. For those looking to sample the finer things in life, Camden Harbour Inn offers everything from simple luxuries to lavish amenities on your coastal Maine vacation!
Camden Harbour Inn is simply overflowing with luxury, style and refined amenities, making this coastal Maine accommodation more of a boutique hotel than a traditional inn. And your gracious Camden Harbour Inn hosts wouldn't settle for offering you any ordinary New England vacation. Instead, they've taken it upon themselves to execute complete lifestyle experiences tailored to your personal tastes. Vibrant floral displays, a sampling of local wines and even original artworks can all be placed in your already stylish Camden Harbour Inn suite. It was a close race, but Camden Harbour Inn easily offers the most spectacular scenery of all the Maine inns and bed and breakfasts on our list. Sure, there are the sweeping harbor and Penobscot Bay views you'd expect from a coastal inn, but Camden Harbour Inn also features breathtaking panoramas of the village, mountains and evergreen islands that flourish at the foot of this hilltop retreat.
Related Onsite Offerings
Camden Harbour Inn rooms and suites include en-suite private baths and are furnished with king-size pillow-top beds, the finest linens, fluffy towels and soft bathrobes. The inn is also the only lodging establishment in Maine to offer in-room mini bars.
Complimentary coffee, tea and snacks are served in this coastal Maine bed and breakfast's Princess Juliana Lounge throughout the day.
Fun facts
The innkeepers have added a hint of their Dutch homeland's history by naming Camden Harbour Inn's rooms and suites after famous world ports once used by the Dutch East India Company.
Belfast Bay Inn & Luxury Suites
Belfast, Maine
Our No. 5 spot has received its fair share of recognition, including the honor of becoming the seaside town of Belfast's first – and only – bed and breakfast to be awarded a prestigious AAA Four-Diamond designation. It may seem silly, but we simply couldn't pass up the chance to heap a few praises of our own upon this coastal Maine inn!
Belfast Bay Inn is also one of few coastal Maine accommodations to boast a place among the distinguished ranks of the Select Registry Boutique Hotel list. But what we most admire about this Belfast bed and breakfast is its innkeepers' genius decision to take up residence in a pair of 19th-century rowhouses and transform them into luxury suites surrounded by Belfast's quaint shops and boutiques. And this Maine inn's convenient Main Street address puts you a short stroll from Belfast Harbor's waterfront, while Camden and Acadia National Park are both a scenic drive away! We think Belfast Bay Inn's boutique-style ambiance is perfect for special occasions and long weekends on the New England coast. Tulips border the brick-lined sidewalks and streets of Shoreline Park and the inn's garden courtyard is the perfect place to curl up with a cup of tea and that book you're desperate to crack open. Slip on a soft terrycloth robe in the comfort of your Belfast Bay suite and sit back as skilled hands gently massage away every last trace of stress away!
Fun facts
Belfast Bay's innkeepers, Ed and Judy Hemmingsen, are no strangers to the travel business. They built the Bluenose Inn, a 97-room luxury hotel in Bar Harbor, before moving to Belfast and opening Belfast Bay's doors.

The Admiral's Inn Resort
Ogunquit, Maine
By definition, an admiral boasts the highest ranking among his or her peers, and we can't imagine a more fitting description of our No. 6 pick, Admiral's Inn Resort. This Ogunquit original is a commanding presence on Maine's coast and an admirable destination for your coastal Maine vacation!
While this coastal Maine inn is already decorated in authentic New England style, we'd like to pin a few more stars – four, to be precise – to its metaphorical chest. Admiral Inn Resort's all-new amenities, including two heated pools and two hot tubs, could easily take all four. The extensive treatment menu – Swedish and deep tissue massages, hydrating facials and aromatherapy cocoons, to name a few – offered by its day spa, Body Mechanix, could easily merit the addition of even more stars. But we'd rather save them all for the inn's crowning glory: it's designation as Ogunquit's only true full-service resort and inn! While it certainly wouldn't be as prestigious, perhaps a three-star salute would be more fitting for this coastal Maine accommodation. Not that the Admiral's Inn isn't deserving of a full four stars; it's just that this modest inn is actually three separate properties in one central Ogunquit location! There's the original inn, with its traditional bed and breakfast-style rooms. There's the White Rose Inn, acquired in 2008 and added to the Admiral Inn's selections. And the inn's most recent addition: a stunning coastal Maine hotel with spacious rooms and access to all the Admiral's resort-style amenities!
You'll find plenty to fill your days in Ogunquit, including shopping and dining in the Ogunquit Village Center, sunbathing on Ogunquit Beach and the quaint fishing community of nearby Perkins Cove
Fun facts
Originally called the Playhouse Inn, followed by the Post Road Inn, the Admiral's Inn is Ogunquit's oldest bed and breakfast and has been operating as an inn for nearly 50 years!

Additional amenities at the Admiral's Inn include an onsite health club and sauna, day spa and a full-service restaurant with lounge.
The Kennebunkport Inn
Kennebunkport, Maine
Those in the real estate business are fond of saying that everything boils down to one – er, three – things: location, location and location. If that's true, then our No. 7 pick has cornered the market on coastal Maine destinations. The Kennebunkport Inn is the only accommodation in this coastal city's famous Dock Square, after all!
The Kennebunkport Inn's central location means that shopping, dining and attractions galore are all just minutes from your door! Dock Square is known for more than just its spectacular coastal scenery; art galleries, museums and one-of-a-kind boutiques all line this landmark's streets. Just beyond these earthly pleasures, you'll find a wide array of aquatic pursuits like fishing, sailing and whale watching on the Atlantic Ocean's deep blue waters. The Kennebunkport Inn even lets you choose the lodging that suits you, from the classic sophistication of the Main Inn to the breezy cottage-style rooms offered in the Wharfside Building. We'd suggest working up an appetite for the inn's newly-opened One Dock restaurant. This versatile Maine dining space alternates as a lively piano bar by night, while its patio offers al fresco dining under the starry coastal Maine sky. One Dock's signature cocktails and Kennebunk River views accompany whichever dining experience you choose!
The Kennebunkport Inn's onsite restaurant, One Dock, offers traditional coastal Maine dishes like baked haddock and steamed lobster, along with its signature fusion dishes that pair fresh seafood with Asian and Spanish flavors.
Fun facts
The Kennebunkport Inn was selected as one of the Travel Channel's Maine Best Escapes.

Newagen Seaside Inn
Newagen, Maine
There's only way to sum up the sea salt-tinged air, rocky cliffs and vast ocean waters that surround our No. 8 spot: quintessential coastal Maine. From its shuttered Colonial Revival exterior to the charming interiors of its seaside cottages, Newagen Seaside Inn is the definition of New England coastal chic.
Much of the credit for Newagen Seaside Inn's breathtaking accommodations undoubtedly goes to its prime location. Not only does this quaint Maine inn boast a Boothbay Harbor address, it's also perched on the very tip of scenic Southport Island. But don't think for a minute that we'd forget to give Newagen's innkeepers their dues. The scenery outside may come courtesy of Mother Nature, but Newagen Seaside Inn's immaculate guestrooms and cottages didn't decorate themselves! Hardwood floors, hand-stitched quilts and walls awash in coastal-inspired colors blend for a calming effect in these well-appointed Maine accommodations. If Newagen Seaside Inn's sunny interiors aren't enough to motivate you, we think a breakfast with a view is just what the doctor – er, innkeeper – ordered. Specialty dishes like blueberry French toast and chocolate chip pancakes are a delightful addition to breakfast staples like freshly-prepared pastries, juice and eggs. And the spectacular Atlantic Ocean views framed by the dining room's expansive windows make every meal as scenic as it is delicious!
Newagen Seaside Inn is the ideal location for your Maine destination wedding. This coastal Maine inn boasts 20 acres of oceanfront property for spectacular outdoor ceremonies, receptions and more!

Looking for more space, privacy or a bit of both on your coastal Maine vacation? Newagen Seaside Inn's cottages feature multiple bedrooms, living rooms and breezy screen porches.
Fun facts
In 1943, the original Newagen Seaside Inn burned down, but was rebuilt within three months and has warmly welcomed guests to the coast of Maine for the past 65 years.
Rocktide Inn
Boothbay Harbor, Maine
Our No. 9 pick may not be the first coastal Maine inn to hail from scenic Boothbay Harbor, but it does offer some of the most spectacular views of this beloved body of water! We simply can't imagine a finer location for your coastal Maine vacation than surrounded by Rocktide Inn's cozy accommodations and the sea's calming presence.
If the friendly faces of Boothbay Harbor residents are any indication, warm welcomes come standard in coastal Maine. Rocktide's innkeepers are eager to share whimsical touches like museum-worthy model ships and a miniature train that winds its way around the inn's dining room. But don't waste all your time holed up in the comfort of this coastal Maine inn! Outside, boat tours depart straight from the inn's docks, while historic trolley rides take you into the heart of Boothbay's shops, galleries and quaint charm. On the rocks may have once been a grim reality for shipwrecked fisherman, but the On the Rocks lounge comes with none of the same negative connotations. Playful thatched roofs are the only hints of deserted islands you'll find inside this sleek lounge space. And we certainly can't fault you if every breakfast, lunch and dinner finds you stranded inside Rocktide Restaurant's elegant dining space. After all, we had our fair share of Rocktide Inn's tender roast beef, juicy steaks and fresh seafood dishes during our stay!
Related Onsite Offerings
Rocktide Inn's Restaurant serves up a complimentary breakfast buffet each morning and boasts panoramic views of Boothbay Harbor's historic footbridge and the Mouse and Tumbler Islands.
Related activities
Rocktide Inn purchases a membership to the Boothbay Country Club each year so that its guests have access to partake in a round (or two) of golf on their coastal Maine vacation.
All-new suites at Rocktide Inn feature stylish contemporary décor and modern upgrades like whirlpool baths and flat screen TVs.
Brown's Wharf Inn
Boothbay Harbor, Maine
It may be the final pick on our list, but don't write off Brown's Wharf Inn as your everyday East Coast inn. If the oversized statue of an old lobster fisherman – complete with equally enormous yellow rain slicker – that welcomes you into this coastal Maine inn is any indication, you're in for a Maine vacation of grand proportions!
Brown's Wharf Inn's modest New England-style exterior belies the surprisingly spacious and luxurious rooms harbored beneath its roof. Flat screen TVs, wireless Internet and private decks with panoramic views of the sail boats and other craft moored in Boothbay Harbor all come standard at this coastal Maine inn. Brown's Wharf even offers budget-conscious efficiencies for those who prefer to spend the majority of their Maine vacation on water rather than land. The Old Salt Shed Lounge, which takes its name from its former use as – what else – a salt storage shed, is a must on any Maine vacation. This historic Boothbay Harbor eatery is famous for its succulent seafood dinners, so you'd be wise to reserve your space well in advance. You may have to fight through the local crowd to take your seat, but when a Maine lobster – straight off the fisherman's boats and dripping with butter – graces your plate, it somehow seems worth it!
Related Onsite Offerings
Brown's Wharf Inn is the perfect place to dock your boat on your coastal Maine vacation. The inn's private marina has plenty of dock space available; you can even fish from the dock or hunt for lobsters in the harbor.
Air conditioning, refrigerators and guest laundry make the Brown's Wharf Inn both comfortable and convenient on your coastal Maine family vacation!
Fun facts
Brown's Wharf Inn has been family-owned and operated by the Brown family for three generations.
Spruce Point Inn
Boothbay Harbor, Maine
Its name may hint at blue-hued spruce and prickly pine needles, but our No. 11 pick actually sits high atop a peninsula that stretches out into the Atlantic Ocean's watery expanses. We hope you're ready for a change of scenery on your coastal Maine vacation, because that's precisely what awaits you at the Spruce Point Inn!
Here at the Spruce Point Inn, the smoggy cityscape that once served as your backyard has been replaced with coastal Maine's craggy cliffs, sparkling waters and dense forests. Your nosy neighbors have been transformed into burly fisherman hauling in their catches and spiny sea critters turned to-die-for dinners when smothered with butter. And in place of your everyday soundtrack of honking cars, ringing cell phones and overbearing bosses, you'll find the sweet melodies of birdsong and the gentle lapping of Boothbay Harbor's waves. Chances are you're looking for more than a change of scenery on your coastal Maine vacation, but Spruce Point Inn is our recommended destination for any reason and in every season. Family vacations could use a little sprucing up in our opinion, and there's nothing like a little New England flair and a gentle sea breeze to put that spring back in the step of kids and parents alike!
The Spruce Point Inn's fun-filled summer children's program, The Lighthouse Camp, is the perfect supplement to coastal Maine family vacations.

Inn at Ocean's Edge
Lincolnville, Maine
You'll find plenty of admirable choices on our Top Coastal Maine Inn and Bed and Breakfasts list, but for a true New England experience at the water's edge, the aptly-named Inn at Ocean's Edge is our hands-down selection!
For once, we don't even care if you doubt our judgment – that would only mean more room for us at this delightful Maine inn, after all. In fact, we've got half a mind to forsake this entire list in favor of time better spent lounging in the sparkling infinity-edge pool, strolling the vast blooming gardens or indulging in a second helping at the Inn at Ocean's Edge's award-winning restaurant. But we'll take pity on your poor seafaring soul and let you in on this coastal Maine inn's best-kept secret: a scrumptious breakfast buffet overlooking Penobscot Bay. Lobster boats cruise past, loaded down with their morning catch – soon to be your dinner – as they take their place in the peaceful harbor. Over on Lincolnville Beach, tiny toddlers with shovel and pail in hand leave their mark on the soft golden sands. And across the bay, Islesboro beckons with a full day of shopping, wine tasting and exploration on its rocky shores!
Experience an aerial tour of the Maine coast from a helicopter that departs directly from the Inn at Ocean's Edge property.
Fun facts
The Inn at Ocean's Edge is a great place to cozy up with friends and family during the holiday season. The village of Camden even kicks off the season with a spectacular Christmas by the Sea celebration.

An Israeli couple say they found the statue covered with oil recently and that it spoke.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Hundreds of people have flocked to a small town in northern Israel to view a statue of the Virgin Mary that residents say "weeps" oil.
Members of a Christian family from Tarshiha, near the Lebanon border, say they have witnessed a miracle in their living room.
Osama Khoury said Tuesday that his wife Amira found the statue "covered with oil" recently. Amira said the statue "spoke to her" and told her not to be afraid. After a neighbor witnessed the oil, word soon spread.
Parts of the statue appear to be slick with moisture, even after it is wiped off.
The family says it is most striking when a "tear" seems to roll down the statue's cheek. It says some 2,000 people have come to see the statue over the last week.

Why I'm a terrible Flames "fan"
Ryan Lambert
July 27 2009 04:05PM
The above picture is what the stereotypical "sports fan" looks like. And that's why I'm not one.
Earlier this morning, I posted on Puck Daddy that the belief that the Blackhawks are "more than equipped" to deal with Marian Hossa's prolonged absence due to injury was certifiably insane. And now I've been accused of "sour grapes" because Calgary lost to Chicago in the playoffs.
That's just crazy talk, and I realized that it's because I barely like my favorite teams. This is a direct quote from my introduction post here at FN:
"I am not, however, one of those rah-rah "omg i luv Andre Roy"-type fans. On the contrary, being my favorite team in any sport comes with the great burden of my being hyper-critical and generally unaccepting of the team's moves, or at least whatever seems popular within the general fanbase."
This can be seen in posts like this one from Puck Daddy, where I said it was "off the charts stupid" to pick anything less than a Chicago sweep, or this one from TLP wherein I actually predict a sweep. So sour grapes it was not. It was, I think you'll find, an objective outside opinion.
The reason I'm not a "good fan," I think, is because I eschew blatant homerism and settle, instead, for a remarkable amount of what you'd likely call pessimism but I'd call realism. And that's the thing most sports fans seem to forget: you can support a team, and want it to do well, without just blindly giving a thumbs up and drooling a bit on your shirt when someone asks you how you feel about Free Agent Signing X.
Actually, my feeling is that the entire POINT of sports is to be unhappy. That's why 29 teams don't win jack at the end of every season. What good would winning be if everyone got a trophy just for the hell of it? Y'know who's had it pretty easy the last few years? Red Wings fans. And have you ever sat down and actually read the things they talked about this season? It typically fell into three categories: 1) Bitching that no one is giving them their due respect; 2) How brilliant their management is; 3) How their No. 6-7 defenseman was ruining their chances to repeat. Do you really want to be like that? Of course not.
And besides, the term "fan" is, as some people are wont to point out at the slightest provocation, short for fanatic, a person who, according to Winston Churchill, "can't change his mind and won't change the subject." Fanaticism is best left to ideological and religious kooks.
That's why I'm not a "fan" of the Calgary Flames, Boston Red Sox or Liverpool Football Club. Instead, I am simply a supporter. Supporters, unlike fans, can (and should) be rational, and as such considerably more tolerable. I will, more often than not, back my team up, but not to the point of having disproportionately high standards for them or, indeed, the desire to harangue those that do not share my viewpoint. Would that more people were like this.
The sports world would be a lot better off.
"Actually, my feeling is that the entire POINT of sports is to be unhappy"
If this is actually the case, I am really getting the point of sports right now, as are hundreds of thousands of Oilers fans.
If it's any consolation, I don't think you are a terrible fan. You can tell everyone who lips you off on puck daddy to bite me.
*pats self on back for being so high and mighty*
for god's sake, don't listen to the yahoo yahoos. those comments are a poor mans 4chan.
I'm glad you can be rational about your team (unlike your hate for the Oil) and that is probably why I like reading Gregor and Brownlee at ON.

Headshots March 26th
Thomas Drance
March 26 2012 03:31PM
Mike Burnstein got Keslurked. Pass it to Bulis has more.
Headshots are a Canucks Army feature where we link to the day's freshest news, and other assorted Canucks web-goodies. If you've written a blogpost, produced a tribute video or birthed a clever .gif into existence - please e-mail Thom at email@example.com.
An NHL scout called the Hodgson trade a "terrible deal" for the Canucks. No doubt it was a risky maneuver from Mike Gillis, but this is much is clear: Hodgson's recent point streak aside, he's just not ready to help teams win games yet. The real problem as I see it is that neither is Zack Kassian.
Our pal Gay Canuck has a solid take on the Keith-Sedin episode, which, he dubs "le Liason Dangereuses."
It has been confirmed that Daniel Sedin does indeed have a concussion. These things are unpredictable, but Canucks Nation will surely be watching the situation develop with bated breath.
Get a Load of This Guy Break: deliriously over-happy Sharks fan (who has an uncanny resemblance with early 90s Dave Coulier) gets jeered by Canucks fan (Via @HarkonCanucks).
Cam Charron finds evidence that Alain Vigneault is using a more conservative team strategy this season than he used last year. Unsurprisingly, it isn't working. I've always believed that this version of the Canucks are at their best when they're unleashed on the forecheck, the prevent defense on the other hand only prevents winning.
Pass it to Bulis breaks down a post-game locker room video, that features the Canucks being loud and obnoxious while showing off their abs. In short, the Canucks dressing room after a win devolves into a crappy bro party.
Following a challenging four game road trip, the Canucks return home and are feeling pretty confident. That's nice to hear, but actions speak louder than words. Let's see if this supposed surge in team self-esteem translates into the club legitimately showing up tonight against the Los Angeles Kings.
March 26 2012, 09:35PM
This blaise attitude Van has toward the remainder of the regular season is understandable given that the 'Nucks are concentrating on playoff prep. It is also troubling in that there is so little fan interaction on this site. Do fans care so little? Are they busy doing other things? I know they can't be busy working, at least at jobs other than service industry or grow-ops.
I am left to conclude that canuck fans are not real hockey fans like fans of the mighty Oil. What say you knuckleheads. Any response? Be better than your team, show some push back. Anyone? Thats what I thought.
Go Oil.

From homeless to med school
He lived for part of his youth with his elderly grandmother in a shack behind a house. Ivy crept through the windows. There was no heating system. Mice flourished in the shack's chill.
And Friday, Peolia Kansas Fonsworth III (the most aristocratic name a poor kid has ever endured) participated in "Match Day," in which graduating medical students at UC Irvine found out which university hospitals had accepted them to begin their residencies.
Fonsworth, now 31 and a brilliant student who will finish his educational career with degrees in molecular biology, Spanish literature, psychiatry and business, has dreamed about being a doctor since the days he and his grandmother couldn't afford groceries.
"Education was the mechanism for me to get out of poverty," he said.
Long ago, he set a goal for Match Day: He would be accepted at the Yale University Hospital. He would move to Connecticut. He would become an East Coast guy and get comfortable with the snow.
He has a Yale banner in his bedroom and a Yale magnet on his refrigerator. He wore a Yale wristband Friday as he walked to the podium and opened the envelope to learn where he was matched.
But what would life be, especially PK Fonsworth's life, if everything went as planned?
Let's just say snow is not in his immediate future.
His grandmother wasn't really his grandmother. PK Fonsworth was born in San Fernando, Philippines in 1982. But his mother (too poor) and his father (a disinterested American soldier), couldn't care for him.
As an infant, Fonsworth was handed off to a neighbor, Ethel Watanabe, a Japanese woman in her 60s.
"She was the first person who threw me a lifeline," Fonsworth said. "She said, 'You're going to college, no matter what it takes.' She taught me about values and dreams."
Watanabe worked in a beauty salon and did seamstress work on the side. She earned enough to enroll Fonsworth in a private school. But Watanabe wanted more opportunity for her unofficially adopted son.
At 10, they move to Martinez, California, a suburban community in the East Bay near San Francisco. At 14, his birth father, Peolia Kansas Fonsworth II, became part of his life. The elder Fonsworth helped pay rent for his son and Watanabe in a nice apartment.
He was flourishing in school, showing a particular knack for biology.
Then, eight months after it started, his father's support ended. He now has very little contact with his father.
"I don't know why it stopped, but I know we couldn't afford rent or food," Fonsworth said.
In high school, Fonsworth got a job at a pizza parlor, then in a Walgreens photo department. He said he and Watanabe, then in her 70s, lived on his small income and her social security check.
"When I started high school, it was a question of survival."
One rainy day, when their lives were at their lowest point, Fonsworth and Watanabe bought groceries at Safeway. At checkout, they asked that their paper shopping bags also be wrapped in plastic so they wouldn't be damaged by the rain.
Cashier Sandi Flocken Ashton watched them carry the bags to the bus stop. The next time they came in, she asked them if they needed a ride home.
"I took them home, and they lived in a shack," she said. "It was absolutely horrible. I couldn't believe it had ivy growing through the windows."
Before long, Flocken Ashton was buying their groceries. She was at the Match Day ceremony last week.
"His life could have gone either way," she said. "I attribute it all to his grandmother. I am so proud of PK. He calls me faithfully. He never forgets to tell me, "I love you, Sandi.'"
As a senior in high school, he found out he would be receiving a scholarship — from the IDEAL Scholars Fund, given by the Level Playing Field Institute which was founded by his friend Freada Kapor Klein — to the University of California at Berkeley. Klein was also at the Match Day ceremony last week.
"While many people graduate from top medical schools and pursue prestigious residencies, painfully few have PK's lived experience," Klein said. "The barriers he faced are numerous and range from significant visible hardship to subtle unseen barriers ... From the day I met PK as a high school senior he has had a five-year plan. While a few details have been modified, he has kept his eye on the prize and pursued his dream.
"It's been an honor and a privilege to know and support PK all these years. The world is a richer place for having PK in it."
Before he got to Berkeley, Ethel Watanabe died of cancer.
"She was my mother, my father, my everything," Fonsworth said. "I will always remember my grandmother's mantra: Opportunity is education."
He set out to cure cancer. But his educational career took twists and turns along the way. He graduated from Berkeley with honors. Then he came to Orange County for UCI's Prime LC program (medical school focusing on the Latino community).
He has settled on psychiatry. He wants to help impoverished communities.
"At UCI, converting to mental health was a slow seduction," Fonsworth said. "I always admired people who worked with the brain and the mind. Psychiatry can bring marginalized people back into society."
For so long, he felt marginalized.
One of these days, when his schooling is over, he wants to open a network of mental health centers to serve the poor.
"I know there are incredible challenges ... in the under served community," Fonsworth said.
Challenges are what make him tick.
He won't be meeting those challenges at Yale.
If you haven't seen the Match Day ceremonies at UCI, you have missed screaming, crying, fist-pumping drama in front of about 500 friends, relatives and professors. One by one, 99 students walked to the podium and opened letters that would reveal their future. Some went to the University of Hawaii. Some went to the University of Toronto. They cheered when they were accepted by hospitals at Stanford or USC.
Fonsworth sat coolly behind his aviator sunglasses awaiting his name to be called. He knew he would be going to some prestigious mental health center in the United States. He had 12 choices. Yale and Harvard were his No. s 1 and 2 choices.
Finally, he walked to the podium, took off his glasses and opened the letter.
"Harbor UCLA," he read, prompting a wild cheer from the crowd. They didn't know Harbor UCLA, which is up the 405 Freeway in Torrance, was his fourth choice.
"I'm going to be local," he said. "It's a win. Harbor UCLA serves some of the most under served communities in Southern California."
He immediately put a good spin on his placement.
"Now it's sunny Southern California until the end of my days," he said.

When you are making meme's online, and they're hilarious or perfect for your current situation or can be used in a twitter war or Facebook fight. Generally, being meme sauced results in blowing up your Facebook friends' news feeds with an abundance of memes (which they enjoy, thoroughly).

From Gentle Baby Care by Elizabeth Pantley
Babies love new places! There's so much to investigate and new things to touch. But many people aren't too happy to have your little one crawling or toddling freely about the house exploring everything in sight. While you think its adorable that Baby found the Tupperware, your host may not think it's cute that her tidy cabinet has been rearranged by sticky baby hands. If your host has a big heart she'll let you know that your baby's exploring is okay. But even then, you run the risk of your baby breaking or losing something.
Bring toys!
The best thing you can do is bring along a bag of toys to seize your child's attention. You can purchase new items, or dig through your baby's toy box to put together a collection of forgotten favorites. Avoid bringing loud toys that may annoy others, and bring toys that will hold your baby's attention for a long time.
Bring your own supplies
Think about things that keep your baby happy at home or in the car, and bring these with you, such as your sling, a favorite blanket, a Boppy pillow, or a special lovey. If you are prepared, then your baby will be more content.
Safety issues
Visits with a mobile baby are tricky, especially if you're at a home that isn't childproof. If you want to avoid physically shadowing your baby around the house, bring a few safety tools, such as outlet plugs and a folding baby gate to section off stairways. When you arrive, assess the area and ask if chemicals, medications, or fragile vases can be put away during your visit. Remember that you're certain to miss some hazards, so keep a close eye on Baby during your entire visit.
Food and eating
Whether your baby is new to solid food or has been eating it for a while, bring along a few favorites. If you don't bring snacks with you, your baby may not touch the dinner that's served and may cry for her favorite crackers. In any case, don't feel you must push your baby to try something new to the point of a temper tantrum. Politely requesting something simple like toast or cheese is perfectly okay and will be welcomed more than a loud and tense test of parent/child wills.
What if you're breastfeeding and your baby is hungry?
Do what comes naturally: Feed him! Breastfeeding is the most natural way to feed a baby. If your hosts aren't used to seeing a mother breastfeed, then you're doing our world a favor by introducing one more person to the beauty of baby feeding. Be thoughtful about other's sensitivities. This doesn't mean you need to hide, but your efforts to be discreet are a courtesy for those around you and may help others feel more comfortable about seeing you breastfeeding your baby. Using a sling, blanket or nursing shirt are easy ways to accomplish this.

For the first time in nine seasons, the 1-A volleyball champion does not go to Rich High School. Panguitch defeated Rich last Friday to win the title. The Lady Pirates from Green River, after finishing third in region play, advanced to the tournament but lost both of their matches on the opening day to finish their season.
As they have done all season, they had their moments of playing well but they also had their moments of struggling. Assistant coach Kayce Fluckey summed up the tournament; "This was a growing season for us. We had our moments but we could not stay constant. The season and the tournament were kind of frustrating. We are a team full of potential."
Green River opened the tournament against a good Piute team and they played well in a loss. The score was 25-23, 25-9 and 25-22. Although they lost the match, they played well in two of the three games. The Pirates then played Salt Lake Lutheran in the consolation bracket and lost 25-23, 25-19 and 25-20. Salt Lake Lutheran was not nearly as good of team as was Piute.
Leah Swalberg, one of two seniors on the team, played great against Piute and hopefully will get selected to be on the all-star team from the south.
Brandi Webster, Lindsey Spadafora and Crosby Hatt are all juniors that had their moments and will be counted on for next season. Bailey Packer and Jill Vetere were two sophomores that saw a lot of playing time and should be improved for next season. Coach Fluckey encourages "all girls to go to camps over the summer and to play with other girls from other schools."

Behavioral: Questionnaire
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Creation of a Population-Based Stomach Cancer Registry in the Cremona Province Area in Italy. Study of the Epidemiology, the Risk Factors and Clinical, Histological and Biomolecular Features of the Pathology.
- Collection of life-style, familiar, clinical, histological and biomolecular data [ Time Frame: Five Years ]
- Collection of biological samples (blood and cancer tissue samples) [ Time Frame: Five Years ]
- Analysis of epidemiology, risk factors, family history and unidentified susceptibility genes and proteins [ Time Frame: Five Years ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|January 2010
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Background: GC is the 2nd and the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the world in male (M) and female (F) respectively. Worldwide there's a marked geographic variation in incidence and outcome. In Italy Cremona is characterized by the highest mortality rate.
Methods: On March 31, 2014 this observational study registered all cases of stomach or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) tumor diagnosed in Cremona province from 01/01/2010 to 12/31/2012. Data were collected following AIRTum (Associazione Italiana Registri Tumori) and IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) cancer registration recommendations. TNM and tumour site classification was according to AJCC/UICC 7th ed.; morphology according to Lauren classification and hereditary cases according to International GC Linkage Consortium guidelines. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method and curves were compared by Log Rank Test. Age incidence rates were calculated per 100,000 and standardized at European standard population.
Results: 448 cases were registered (M : F = 1.4 : 1) for a total resident population of 363,606 corresponding to an incidence rate of 31.2 for M and 15.2 for F compared to national rates of 22.6 and 11.8 respectively. Median age (interquartile range) was 75 (67 - 81) : 73 (64 - 79) for M and 78 (70 - 83) for F. M were younger than F at diagnosis (Mann Whitney Test). Cumulative risk by age of 84 was 5.2% for M and 2.6% for F. Median survival was 13.9 months (CI 95% 10,6 - 18,4) and there were no differences by sex (M: 11.33 CI 9.4 - 15.4 and F: 18.7 CI 11.7 - 24.2). Only 185 (41.3%) patients were submitted to surgery; pathological stage was I in 21%, II in 29% , III in 45%, IV in 5% . Diagnosis tumor site was GEJ in 15%, fundus - body in 45%, antrum - pylorus in 40%. Adenocarcinoma represented 95% of all cases, with 63% intestinal, 20% signet ring cell and 12% mixed-type. In 16% of gastric healthy mucosa H. Pylori infection was present and about 20% of tumor tissue showed HER-2 over - expression.
Conclusions: Incidence of GC in Cremona is higher than in the rest of the nation and 1 / 20 male is at risk to develop GC by the age of 84. The causes are not known at this time. Data collection is still ongoing in order to plan preventive strategies in this high risk area.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|Child, Adult, Senior
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
PATIENTS ELEGIBILY : Any patients age at GC cancer diagnosis was included. Male and female patients were either included. Healthy volunteers were not included. At the time of diagnosis of cancer patients must be a province of Cremona inhabitants (districts of Crema, Cremona or Casalmaggiore). Informed consent signature was required.
TUMOR ELEGIBLY: Diagnosis must be performed from 2010 Juanuary, the 1st to 2013 December, 31st .The diagnosis must be of a infiltrating malignant tumor. The diagnosis should be of a primary tumor. Precancerous diagnosis were not considered. Recidivate tumor were not considered. The site of localization of the tumor at diagnosis must be stomach or gastro - esophageal junction as site of tumor onset.
HDGC ELEGIBILY : Gastric cancer is a known manifestation of inherited cancer predisposition syndromes similar to hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer and Li-Fraumeni syndrome. According to the OMIM database, more than 90 per cent of gastric cancers are sporadic, whereas less than 10 per cent are hereditary (HDGC). Germline E-cadherin inactivating mutations in the CDH1 gene are responsible for the development of GC in approximately 30% of families with the hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome (HDGC). Diagnostic criteria for HDGC are formulated by the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium in 1999 and then they are reviewed in 2010. In order to individuate HDGC case and to included them in a specialist counselling and CDH-1 gene mutation evaluation, criteria by International GC Linkage Consortium 2010 guidelines were followed.

With a new and improved upper, the Asics Gel Neo33 2 packs a bit of pronation control with a flexible and responsive ride into a dependable trainer.
The Gel Neo33 2 continues to be a competitor in the mild support trainer category. Utilizing both Asics' plush Solyte and firmer SpEVA foam compounds in its dual-layered midsole, the Neo33 2 treats a runner to a nice bit of rebound for an energetic and responsive ride. Though the 11.1oz weight of the Men's size 9 doesn't scream performance, our testers were impressed at the swift sensation the shoe offered.
The upper undergoes a nice change in this update. Gone are the thick and rigid leathery-suede overlays of the original Neo (The Paleo?), replaced by thinner synthetic overlays, and fewer of them. The result: a more accommodating and less constrictive fit that will make a wider variety of feet happy.
With Gel units in the heel and forefoot, the Neo33 2 provides plenty of lasting protection from impact, and with deep flex grooves throughout the outsole, this shoe delivers a flexible and smooth transition from heel to toe. Expect the Neo33 2 to be a solid trainer for slight overpronators or neutral runners needing a touch of support during longer runs.
"The cushioning hits a nice sweet spot – it's soft without being pillowy, and it has a bit of responsiveness to it."
"The new upper is a huge improvement. It's much more flexible than before, reducing hotspots and discomfort."
"As a neutral runner, I didn't feel the supportive post get in the way. Should be a good choice for runners whose arches begin to collapse over longer runs."

Q: is kabutomaru controlling action of all the ppl he summond like ever puch, kick, block, jutsu they use ???
Why isn't he controlling them via punch, kick, block etc?
He has those goddamned stones. I bet there is a complex process to exactly order them on what to do. Or maybe a mental command.
You can't say exactly say "no," when its unsure.
My own little question.
What was the limit to the Sage of the 6 Path's Izanagi power?
Juubi had inhumane power, and if the Sage was smart enough humans wouldn't be able to control it properly even with separating. Now, why didn't he just eliminate the Juubi entirely? Delete it from existence, perhaps the world of Naruto would have more peace. The Sage had much power to make the Juubi's body into the damned moon - in his deathbed.
With all that power why not use Izanagi to erase the juubi completely? What was his mentality to separate the beasts? Why weaken the Juubi's powers when you can just erase the goddamned thing with the broken Izanagi?
juubi isn't just a monster. juubi is the hate, the evil. you can't kill that with a jutsu. you need something more that even the sage didn't had, something that he taught that his younger son had.
when you read naruto, you read just word by word?
take an advice, enjoy greatness.
Kabuto is able to seize complete control and use specific abilities when he wants; Itachi being held in reserve for his Genjutsu is a strong example of this. Kabuto can also stop his pawns from moving entirely, or force them to move in a certain way, as when he forced the Edo Tsuchikage to summon the other Edo Kages. He can turn them into mindless killing machines like Zabuza and Haku, but all that means is they no longer have human thoughts or emotions, and focus entirely on killing. They still stick to their own fighting styles.
Asuma was under complete control in the sense that he had to fight his students even while yelling at them to defeat him. Kabuto could have shut him up, but he wanted to let Asuma talk to use the enemy's compassion as a weakness. But that doesn't mean Kabuto literally was deciding when Asuma would jump, block, kick, etc. It's not that specific.
Edo clones have their own will and souls, Kabuto merely enslaves them. They do his bidding, simple as that. It's not like Sasori's puppets, or Nagato's paths, which have no souls, no minds, and no chakra of their own. Kabuto tells his puppets to kill, and they decide how best to accomplish this. Remember, he only revived the best of the best with his technique; they know their own fighting styles better than he does, and as long as they remain loyal, there's no need to control exactly how they fight. Unless, like Itachi and Nagato, they are being held back as trump cards.
Again, the issue is not whether Kabuto can control minor movements such as punches and kicks; he obviously can. That doesn't mean he is, and every one of the fights suggests he is not.
Juubi is a monster. Its sentient, conscious, and probably has a mind of its own.
Alright say you can't entirely destroy the evil itself, why not seal it into a separate dimension? Isolate the damned thing, and everyone's happy.
Does Edo Itachi still have poor eyesight? Considering Edo Nagato still has major mobility problems, it only makes sense that Itachi would stillbe nearly blind.
I once theorised that Naruto could protect himself from Amaterasu by using a continuously renewing Kyuubi Cloak. Now that he no longer has a Cloak (unless he learns to create one) the question remains pertinent. The fight between Naruto and Sasuke draws ever closer. How shal Naruto fend off an Amaterasu attack. Obviously, the SO6P's Younger Son must have had a way to fend off Amaterasu from the Older Son.
Past Amaterasu Survivors:
1) Madara...We still don't know how he did it, but we know that his body is artificial and that he can grow new parts.
2) Raikage...He used speed to avoid Amaterasu attacks, but had to cut off his own arm when he got hit.
3) Gaara....He used his sand to form a sheild
4) Jiraiya's Fire Toad....Had a hole blow right through it, Jiraiya was able to seal the rest of the flames.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
since when can izanagi erase beings out of existence? lol... it can only negate attacks and deaths, it also holds the power to create apparently...wiping things out of existence is more kamui's thing.
also, my question: just how powerful is this new kyuubi mode naruto has attained?
when he entered the three-tailed cloak while fighting orochimaru, a simple yell created a powerful shockwave which damaged his surrouindings like the bridge.. look how powerful the kyuubi-mode was against pain during its' 6-tailed to eight-tailed level.. whioch seemed to surpass even the sage-mode.
now that naruto has achieved complete control over the kyuubi chakra; does he still have access to all this power!? o.O
if so... i think he has little to worry about, from the raikage... >:]

Love them!
"I really like these sneakers. They are very comfortable, and not at all stiff, yet provide great support. I do a lot of lateral movement in my workouts and these really hold my feet snugly, especially since the tongue is attached to the inside of the shoe. And they are also super cute, the orange is on the pinky side."
