Details of Carolina Hurricanes and the Ticket Luck value
Carolina Hurricanes represents Raleigh, North Carolina for the game of ice hockey. They are associated with the Southeast Division of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team with its exceptionally talented players is Stanley Cup winner against the Edmonton Oilers. Initially in the early nineties, the team earned fame with a name of Hartford Whalers. Now how did the team land upon the title 'Hurricane' from 'Whalers'? Well the story is, 'Canes' was previously used for the teams of Lethbridge and the University of Miami who were called Hurricanes for long. The name Whalercanes, comes from combining the nicknames Carolina and Hartford. It is seldom used to refer to the combined history of the franchise in North Carolina and Hartford. Fans of the team call themselves Caniacs that is derived from the team's nickname 'Canes'.
The Hurricanes received their new name a few months after a particularly active hurricane season in North Carolina in 1996, which included one major storm, Hurricane Fran that hit Raleigh directly. The Hurricanes' logo uses only one flag so it is an indication for a storm watch.
The New England Whalers was a result of the permission granted to the franchise, by the World Hockey Association, as an award to begin the game of ice hockey in Boston, Massachusetts. For the initial couple of years, the home games of the club were played at fixed venues including Boston Garden, Boston Arena, and The Big E Coliseum. Since the attendance at the championships lagged, the team included Connecticut among its venues for the game. Carolina Hurricanes started playing in the mid seventies at the Hartford Civic Center Coliseum to a sellout crowd. Except for the late seventies, the Whalers changed their venue to play games while their home arena at Hartford was under renovation. The energy level of the team did not remain consistent. Although the fluctuations made the Canes drop in NHL rankings; having faith in its potential, a number of new fans were attracted by witnessing the team's performance in 2002 playoffs.
The outcome of the 2004-05 NHL had a downgrading effect on the payroll, bringing it to $26 million. The fans were not positive about the season of 2005-2006 but still the first game back was played to a sold out arena. The performance of Carolina Hurricanes has always managed to surprise the National Hockey League. It proved its valor in the history of approximately three decades by playing the season to the best of its abilities. Canes were later ranked at fourth position in the overall league. Still, their fourth-place was far and away their best ever as an NHL team.
As far as its competition with rivals is concerned, the statistics of the competing teams are detailed as The Oilers winning Game 3 at Rexall Place, shining the spot light on Ryan Smyth. He was the super star of the game for scoring the last goal to win the game. Carolina bounced back in the fourth game, successfully making a score of 2-1, which brightened the chances of winning the cup. However, in game five, The Oilers made a comeback with an outstanding win by Fernando Pisani on a tough secede in the beginning of the extra session. This suddenly highlighted The Oilers for the game to win the trophy. Carolina Hurricanes in the sixth game, with a score of 4-0 had to face the defeat and the possibility appeared of the team surrendering in the final with a great score of 3-1.
Stanley Cup championship that the Hurricanes won in the following season was the first time the team added a major credential to its list of accomplishments. The team is the second in Southeast Division to have won the trophy consecutively. Not only this, Carolina Hurricanes is the only NHL team of ice hockey to lose approximately more than 9 ice hockey playoffs in a year and still make it to the Stanley Cup successfully.
It was hard for Carolina Hurricanes to maintain its success in the same way. The team was eliminated from the playoff contention after the losing to the Champions Tampa Bay Lightning, in April, 2007. This brought Chicago Blackhawks into the limelight for winning the cup after a number of failed sessions to make the post season happening after the victory.
The Edmonton Oilers couldn't make it to the playoffs as well in 2006-2007, making it the first season in NHL history for both seasonal Stanley Cup Finalists missing to be qualified for the playoffs. Later in 2007, the team didn't contend the playoffs and became the third defending Stanley Cup Champion and was ranked as second to win it after the prior lost playoff seasons.
Carolina Hurricanes has a huge fan following which includes renowned WWE wrestlers, Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy. Their matches today are watched by thousands of ardent fans as well as sports lovers. To cheer the team to victory in the upcoming season, get your Carolina Hurricanes Tickets now!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 29, 2006) - Hispanic children from the Tri-Cities came together for an evening of sports and recreation when the ETSU men's tennis team hosted a soccer and basketball clinic sponsored by Sports for All.
Sports for All is a program organized by athletes and is dedicated to the development and recreation of Hispanic children in the region. "The idea is to motivate the kids, through sports, to stay in school," said Migrant Education Program Coordinator Maria Pestalardo. "By participating in these clinics the kids can see a role model in the players."
"We have fun playing with the kids," said junior Lisandro Picardo (
Around forty children attended the clinic which took place Monday night in
It was the third time this month the Bucs participated in the clinics. "Since everyone on the team is international it's good to be able to give back," said Assistant Coach Johan Dorfh. "By being here hosting the clinics the players recognize the opportunity they have been given to play tennis and go to school here."
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics takes pride in its community service activities and strives for 100 percent participation from it student-athletes, coaches and administrators throughout the year.

Total time: About 1 hour
Note: This makes more "pistou" than you will need for the soup. You can use the extra to top grilled chicken or mix it into salads or steamed vegetables.
Servings: 4 to 6
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 bulb of fennel, thinly sliced (preferably on a mandoline)
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped plus 2 cloves garlic, smashed, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound fingerling potatoes, sliced crosswise into 1/4 -inch-thick slices
1 bunch slender carrots, sliced crosswise on the bias into 1/4 -inch-thick slices
6 sprigs savory, divided
1 bay leaf
5 cups water
1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1/4 -inch cubes
2 bunches parsley, leaves only
Peeled zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 (1-inch) slices rye bread, cut into cubes
1. Heat a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, then the onions and sauté until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the fennel and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the 5 cloves of garlic and continue to cook just until the garlic is aromatic, about 1 minute. Season with one-half teaspoon salt and one-half teaspoon of pepper.
2. Stir in the potatoes and carrots. Add 2 sprigs savory and the bay leaf, then pour in the water. Stir in another half-teaspoon salt.
3. Bring the water to a simmer, then reduce the heat so the water just "shivers"; it will steam with maybe one or two bubbles every once in a while. Add the rutabaga and cook, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender.
4. Meanwhile, make the pistou. Place the parsley (reserving several leaves for garnish), the leaves of 3 sprigs of savory (reserving several leaves for garnish), 1 clove of garlic, the lemon zest, mustard and one-fourth teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. With the food processor on, pour in one-half cup olive oil. Set aside.
5. Make the croutons. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil with 1 clove garlic in a pan over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and 1 sprig savory. Sauté, tossing frequently, until the bread is well-browned on the edges, about 3 minutes. Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast until the bread is dried through, about 5 minutes.
6. When the soup is ready, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. This makes about 2 quarts soup. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each with a few croutons and a dollop of pistou. Garnish with parsley and savory and a grind of pepper. Serve immediately.

I have the Big and have only been using one print head, even tho I have the dual extruder.
I wanted to get used to the single before trying the dual.
While putting the parts together I noticed a lot of build up on the nozzle and underside of the heating block.
I decided to clean it before mounting it to the dual plate and SNAP there went the thermistor right at the block.
Half in and half out no fixing it.
So I decided to use the extruder I have not used and it is out of wack....
It wont regulate the temp, I had it set for 210 for the first test and it went up to 268 before I noticed.
Every time I try to heat it it just keeps going up, there is no stopping it until I kill the power........
So now I have no extruders that work!!
Went to Inventa Part, guess they dont have parts for sale yet.
Going to Ebay now.....

This year's merger of XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio was accomplished in part to achieve efficiencies of scale for the United States' two satellite radio firms.
Some of those efficiencies were achieved Nov. 11 when some programming content exclusive to one service became available on the other service.
The Catholic Channel, which is programmed by the Archdiocese of New York and was launched by the archdicoese and Sirius in 2006, is now available on XM Channel 117. It's still available to Sirius subscribers on Channel 159, right next to EWTN at Channel 160.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Save the Date: You are invited to Bella Notte, a special event to benefit Last Hope Animal Rescue's needy yet lovable dogs and cats on Thurs. Sept. 3rd from 6 to 9 pm at Sergio's Restaurant in Massapequa.
Setting the Stage: The spaghetti and meatball scene in Disney's Lady & the Tramp is as romantic as Scarlet and Rhett or Bogey and Bergman. Who can forget the cooks on mandolin and concertina serenading the runaway dogs in the alley? "Oh, this is the night, it's a beautiful night and we call it bella notte. Look at the skies they have stars in their eyes on this lovely bella notte."
Lady & the Tramp has a special place in my heart since it was the first movie I ever saw at a theater. I was a 4 years old in Queens so when my godmother picked me up with her friend who I had never met, I screamed bloody murder because you weren't supposed to go anywhere with strangers. Good thing my mother shoved me into the car. The dogs and colorful animation were beyond my wildest dreams.
For about 15 years a huge poster of Lady and her beau Tramp sharing spaghetti was a focal point in my classroom. A buff Cocker puppy visited one day and we posed her next to the poster. Thephoto of the puppy superimposed on the poster in an avant-garde way became a permanent fixture. Later the same Disney poster hung up in Babylon Shelter. Now it's getting spruced up for the Bella Notte party.
Last Hope's upcoming Bella Notte party is an evening of Italian cuisine and "puppy love" attempting to recapture the spaghetti and meatball magic. We're not forgetting cats. After all, "we are Siamese, if you please." The event is still evolving. First I wanted the "right" Italian eatery to set the mood. It had to have a private room plus be stucco with that 1950s feel. Too many restaurants were either heavy duty marble or too gladiator. I went to about 15 places before choosing Sergio's in Massapequa. Theroom is cozy yet rustic. (In contrast, the setting was never in question for last fall's "Pesos for Paco". Our fiesta funder for the Chihuahua who needed orthopedic surgery was designed around Don Ricardos in Babylon.)
Mangia: For the "Bella Notte" menu, Sergio's will serve a full dinner with a choice of entrée, beer, wine, and soda included. Mike, the owner, was kind enough to add the symbolic spaghetti and meatballs to our selection. I am on the hunt for a baker who can recreate the smoochable scene on a sheet cake. Last Hope (www. lasthopeanimalrescue.org) will be selling tickets soon at $45 a person, but please decide quickly; our cozy room can only accommodate 70.
Besides the old poster I started gathering Lady & the Tramp memorabilia, mostly off EBay, for decorations and raffleprizes. A California lady sold me three prints that had been on a bedroom wall for 52 years. As a little girl, she would talk to Lady, Tramp and Trusty at night when she got scared. So far, I have a vintage tray and purse, but do have my eye on an antique movie poster showing Tramp on his way to the dog pound.
Music, Maestro: I want to do better than a concertina/ mandolin duet. Our special Mr. Maestro will make the evening complete. Gregory Williams, acclaimed violist will be performing popular and classical Italian music. My third grade alumnus Gregory, now 25 and a teacher himself, was (is?) a musical prodigy. (When are you too old to be a prodigy?)
As a toddler he sat down at the piano and began playing the theme from the Jetsons by ear. While Gregory was in my class he won a young composer competition at Hofstra for a symphony he wrote for his baby sister. Thesame year he made his stage debut by playing keyboard inside a washing machine box for our "Slug Fashion Show", our puppet production, where he learned the cruel lesson- the show MUST go on. When it got stifling inside the box, I sprinkled him with water and told him to keep playing. Years later I had the privilege of seeing him twice at Carnegie Hall as part of the NY Youth Philharmonic.
A graduate of Boston University and the Eastman School of Music, Gregory has played at Tanglewood and many other venues. When I was still teaching, he would drop in to play impromptu requests for my students. Presently he organizes alumni concerts for the school district's music scholarship. Wait until you hear him play viola.
Amore: A few details still need work. I'd like to stage photos of couples at the outdoor bistro table, reenacting the spaghetti slurp. In the meantime my Edgar Afghan Poe and his sister Charlotte are trying their best to announce the pasta party by going Hollywood in "Pets". I'm also figuring out how to have a DVD of the movie play during the dinner.
Call for Chianti Bottles: There's a reason why I am mentioning the event so early. We need empty Chianti bottles to make the candle centerpieces. So if you happen to have any empties in the trademark basket, please don't throw them away. By the way, Ferraro's in Babylon Village has the right vintage. Salute! Please leave me a bottle message at the Beacon or Post.
Speaking of Vino: Last Hope's Wine Tasting Benefit at the Walt Whitman Birthplace Huntington is this Fri. June 19 from 6 to 9 pm- $45 tickets can be purchased at the door… Also there will be a free charity networking event at Fat Fish in Bay Shore on Tues. June 23 from 6 to 8 pm to benefit both Last Hope (www. lasthopeanimalrescue.org) and Long Island Cares, Inc. the Harry Chapin Food Bank (www. licares.org). Guests are asked to bring an item on the organizations' wish list.
For Adoption: Thedogs and cats at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon have a wish list too. They are wishing for a loving home. This adorable female piebald Dachshund was found in Wellwood Cemetery wearing a rhinestone collar, yet no one claimed her. Four-year old "Carly" in the white lobby cage is an ideal cat- calico, friendly, spayed and already declawed. Females: mature red Doberman Cage 44; young Shihtzu found on Sunrise Hwy; "Hallie" playful Pit who has been at the shelter over a year Cage 38. Males: Akita mix Cage 12; a new Beagle Cage 1; Puggle Cage 18; ": Phelps" Retriever mix who swam the Babylon canal Cage 5; "Skitz"- wonderful tabby in lobby.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
From Conservapedia
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an agency which insures deposits in bank institutions in the event of financial failure. Current policies insure the first $250,000 of deposits for an account holder. It was established during Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, through the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933.
Initially, the FDIC insured the first $2,500 in each deposit account. In July 1934, the limit was raised to $5,000. In 1969 the limit was raised to $20,000, and in 1974 it increased to $40,000. In 1980, the limit was raised to $100,000.[1]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – With last weekend's season-opening loss to the LA Galaxy still fresh on its mind, the New England Revolution will be looking for a bit of redemption on Saturday night when the club visits Eastern Conference foe D.C. United at RFK Stadium.
As eager as the Revs will be to forget about last weekend's result and secure their first points of the season – especially against one of their most bitter rivals – United will be just as motivated to improve upon its season-opening performance, a 4-0 loss to the Kansas City Wizards.
Head coach Steve Nicol is well aware of the dangers posed by playing a team coming off a heavy loss.
"If it was us, I'd be hoping the players would be like that," Nicol said when asked if D.C. might have any extra motivation because of last weekend's result. "So yeah, we have to be careful."
Nicol believes that the best way to approach D.C. is to be the aggressor from the start.
"We have to start well and not give them any encouragement," he said. "If we can put them on their heels early, then maybe the crowd will go the other way and instead of backing them up, they might turn against them."
Perhaps one of the main reasons both New England and D.C. were unable to secure points in their season openers was the current injury situation plaguing the clubs. Each team will have to overcome the loss of several key players if they hope to earn a result on Saturday night.
United will be without influential midfielder Clyde Simms, who recovered from preseason knee surgery in time to start the season opener against the Wizards, but suffered a left hamstring strain in that match and is now expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Also unavailable will be defender Marc Burch – who started 25 games for D.C. in 2009 – while he recovers from right foot surgery.
Bryan Namoff (post-concussion symptoms) and goalkeeper Josh Wicks (L shoulder surgery) were also listed as out on Tuesday's injury report, while Devon McTavish was questionable with a groin strain.
The Revolution can sympathize with United's injury woes, as New England was without seven players – many of them key contributors – for the season opener against the Galaxy.
Chief among the missing for the Revs was 2009 league MVP finalist Shalrie Joseph, who has been fighting to return from a right hip flexor strain.
Joseph's activity was limited during training this week, but he remains cautiously hopeful that he'll recover in time to make the trip to the Nation's Capital.
"I feel good," Joseph said after training on Wednesday. "I'm still making progress. It's going to be a day-to-day decision. Right now, I'm just trying to get back into fitness and trying to get my legs right."
Also questionable for this weekend's match is defender Darrius Barnes, who – like Joseph – missed the season opener with a right hip flexor strain. It was the first game Barnes missed in his professional career after appearing in all 37 games in all competitions in his rookie year last season.
"They're coming along," said Nicol in reference to Joseph and Barnes. "They've both got a chance, so hopefully they'll make it."
Meanwhile, Taylor Twellman (concussion), Matt Reis (L shoulder/L knee surgery), Edgaras Jankauskas (R calf strain) and Nico Colaluca (L knee sprain) were all listed as out on the midweek injury report, while Mauricio Castro will be unavailable while serving the second game of a two-game suspension.
One player who is healthy and will likely be in the starting lineup on Saturday night is rookie forward Zack Schilawski, who led the Revolution in preseason scoring and impressed in his professional debut against the Galaxy.
After the Revs conceded much of the possession in the opening 45 minutes in Los Angeles, Schilawski was pleased with the way they responded with an impressive second-half performance.
"I think one of the things to be excited about was I thought we showed a lot of improvement over 90 minutes," he said. "I'm excited to see what we do this weekend. I think we're improving every day, getting more comfortable and more confident, so I think it's a good sign."
Third-year veteran Chris Tierney – who was active in a left-sided midfield role against the Galaxy – agreed that the Revolution's second-half performance against LA should provide a launching pad into Saturday night's meeting with United.
"I thought in the second half especially we kept the ball and passed the ball decently well," he said. "We created a couple of chances that I think as we get a little more practice in training we should finish off."
With another week of training under their belts, the Revs will have their chance to put themselves to the test on Saturday night at RFK Stadium.

This will be a tremendous running weekend with the milder late February weather of Cape Cod, from the 5km fun run and party on Friday evening through the terrific post race party at the host Resort and Conference Center of Hyannis. This will be the first big race on the Cape for 2014. What a way to get the season started! Celebrity runners and Boston Marathon legends Bill Rodgers and Dick Beardsley, along with Dick and Rick (Team) Hoyt, a pre-race pasta dinner, a race exposition, terrific awards, and a spectacularly picturesque course all add up to a wonderful opportunity for a memorable race experience.
And the Half Marathon will be the first of the popular Half Marathon Trilogy. It's followed by the Johnny Kelly Great Hyannis Half Marathon, May 25, 2014; and the Harwich Cranberry Harvest Half Marathon on October 5, 2014. The Cape Cod Trilogy has a points and prize structure and offers jackets to everyone who finishes all three. Check it out on the race website. www.hyannismarathon.com
The Hyannis Marathon and associated events provide a terrific run for everyone--a great race in a beautiful place. The 2014 edition of the Hyannis Marathon certainly will be an ideal opportunity to enjoy a weekend or a mini vacation on Cape Cod, no matter which race option you choose. This will be the first of the New England marathons, enhanced by the beauty and history of the Cape. The course is picturesque, and the post-card views are only part of the draw for runners of all abilities. This will be fun, folks—fun on the run. Every participant—in each of the race events—will be treated as a special guest. Every runner is an elite athlete at Hyannis.
The 34th Annual Hyannis Marathon, Half Marathon, and Marathon Relay will take place on Sunday, February 23, 2014. All races will begin at 10:00 a.m., although there is a 9:30 early start for those challenged by the six-hour course limit. Race Headquarters--exposition, packet pick-up, pre-race pasta dinner, awards and post race party--will be at the Resort and Conference Center of Hyannis, 35 Scudder Avenue, Hyannis, MA 02601.
Your weekend gets underway on Friday evening, February 21, with the Hanlon Shoe 5km Family Fun Run, at 7:00 p.m. which begins at Hanlon Shoes at 387 Main Street. Following the run there will be "Dinner and Drinks" (cash) at Palio Pizzeria nearby at 435 Main Street.
It will be a celebration, and excitement is in the air. Registration is already well ahead of last year. They can only accommodate 400 in the marathon, 2,500 in the half, and 75 teams in the relay, so register early. Not only that, but the price goes up after December 31, and you must register by then to be guaranteed one of those unique and colorful long sleeve T's.
These races are for FUN. Any long distance race is challenging. But this will be as much fun as you can have while running. Every runner will be treated as though she were the most important person in the race. These events are especially runner-friendly for beginners, or first-time long distance folks. Alternatively, it can be a perfect tune up for Boston (and a Boston qualifier for 2015 because the courses are USATF-certified).
It will be more than a race weekend. It is a perfect chance for a weekend get-away, a mini vacation on a quiet, and always beautiful, Cape Cod. There will be plenty to keep you busy, if you like, with a two-day Race Exposition, a fun run, pre-race pasta bash, and post-race awards with the post party and live music. Yes, the post race party will be held at the Resort and Conference Center of Hyannis, second floor, and will feature complimentary food with a cash bar.
All the while, you can simply enjoy the quiet ambience of Hyannis and Old Cape Cod. Organizers have arranged several accommodation options for comfort and affordability, nicely outlined on the race website.
The Race Exposition in the main ballroom of the Resort and Conference Center of Hyannis will be open on Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. respectively. There will be a variety of exhibitors available. And race packets will be available all through Saturday and from 7:30 to 9:45 a.m. Sunday, race day. Bill Rodgers, Dick Beardsley, and Team Hoyt will be available to chat, have photos and sign autographs and books from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 Saturday. They will also speak at the pasta dinner.
Please check the Web Site www.hyannismarathon.com for an impressive list of sponsors, exhibitors, directions, beneficiaries, course info, registration, results and a listing of very attractive merchandise/keepsakes. Late registration, if available (extremely unlikely) will also be open during these times. But do not wait.
Marathon, Half Marathon, or Relay--Events For You
Everyone can participate; there is a race for all. She may run the marathon, while he runs the half or the relay. Four friends may get together for a reunion—a great weekend to catch up, and participate in the relay. People come from all over the country to enjoy this.
Teammates, or family members can enjoy the weekend by volunteering or running the Marathon Relay. It has four legs--two are 7.3 miles in length, and two of 5.8 miles. However, act fast, because there will be a cutoff at only 75 teams. All events will have caps in order to deliver friendly, personalized service to all, whether elite, average, or back-of-the-pack participants. This marathon is simply one of the best for first-time marathoners, but it is also popular with veterans. The new rule--every runner is treated as a guest.
Consideration is given to all paces and abilities. For example, there is an early start for slower runners. Early start marathoners, half marathoners and relay teams will have different colored bibs, which will identify runners by event.
There is a significant price break for registering by December 31, 2013. Do so, no matter which option you choose! Attractive, colorful long-sleeve T-shirts will be guaranteed to all who register before January 1, and thereafter as available.
The Course
Both courses are smooth and mostly flat with a few rolls. There are just enough slight inclines to relax the muscles. The course is monitored by police and volunteers, with aid stations and port-o-lets in the right places.
The Marathon and Marathon Relay will run a terrifically scenic double loop; the half marathon navigates one loop. All events end at the same finish line near the Resort and Conference Center of Hyannis—no bussing, no point to point.
Runners will enjoy the essence of Cape Cod—picturesque and historic. The events tour scenic villages and beautiful beaches. The villages of Hyannis Port and Centerville have that quintessential Cape Cod/New England look and feel. Fishing villages, Craigville Beach, the John F. Kennedy Memorial (overlooking Lewis Bay), Officer Michael Aselton Memorial Park, the Kennedy family compound, Kalmus Beach (one of the best wind surfing beaches on the east coast—year round), Fortes Beach, the magnificent homes of whaling captains, ferries to the islands, fishing fleets, and the rolling Atlantic horizon are a few of the scenic vistas.
The Guts to Run a Winter Marathon
This will be New England's first marathon of the year, and the timing is perfect. Relatively consistent temperatures make distance running on the Cape in winter comfortable, whereas April and May can be very unpredictable, and often hot. It's certainly a better alternative than training in the cold, and marathoning in the heat. There will be two more hours of sunshine compared to mid December. The average high for February 23 is 41 degrees, with a record high (1984) of 61 degrees.
Weather on Cape Cod is milder than the rest of New England. The Gulf Stream historically brings moderate running and biking/windsurfing weather. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy outdoor activities year round, and many recreational runners enjoy the trails and byways along the Cape's shores in winter. However, be prepared for any weather. This is New England. It takes guts, both to run it and to organize it. But the more you think about late February for a marathon/half marathon, the more attractive it becomes.
There are two Team Options--Marathon Relay Teams, and Half Marathon Teams
Team participation brings a whole new perspective to distance running, and to weekend getaways. The top three score in the Half Marathon. Divisions will include male and female open, masters, and seniors, mixed open, masters, and seniors (at least one woman), as well as Clydesdale and Filly teams, so there are plenty of opportunities to bring home a beautiful plaque. This is in addition to overall, age, weight, and division winners in each event.
Bring friends. Relay teams include the following divisions--female and male open, masters, and seniors, as well as Fillies, and Clydesdales. Four teammates (relay teams may have less than four) can enjoy a weekend away by running the Marathon Relay. The relay handoff points are Craigville Beach and the Resort and Conference Center--four legs.
Awards and Divisions
Awards are as plentiful as the hospitality at these events. There will be engraved plaques for the top woman and man in each race. There are seven age divisions for each race (10-year age groups), and each goes three deep. In other words there are 126 age division awards, plus awards for numerous weight divisions. Marathon and half-marathon division winners will receive very attractive medals. Chronotrack B-Tag timing by Granite State Race Services will offer immediate, accurate results.
Every finisher will be awarded a medal—both marathon and half marathon.
Both races include more Clydesdale and Filly weight-division prizes than any other marathon or half marathon, all going three deep. Clydesdale open and masters 190 to 210 pounds, Clydesdale open and masters 211 to 225 pounds, and open and masters 226 and above. The Clydesdale senior division is 190 pounds and up. Filly open and masters' (140 pounds) prizes are also awarded in all three individual events.
Winning half-marathon teams will be awarded plaques, while winning relay teams will receive specially crafted Quahog Shells.
Record, Reward
There will be a $500 bonus reward for a marathon course record. Judson Cake set the Marathon record in 2010 (2:22:23), and Kim Duclos holds the women's record of 2:56:06 (2008). Both the Marathon and Half Marathon are certified.
Weekend Getaway
There will be three event options associated with Marathon Day, providing a distance, pace and challenge for everyone. And what a location! What wonderful scenery! The surroundings alone guarantee enjoyment. In addition to the fabulous Old Cape Cod style, scenery, and ambiance, these events have terrific organization; and a wonderful venue for pre and post-race festivities. This will be a memorable weekend getaway, exciting and affordable, a goal worth pursuing.
Cape Cod Quiet
The courses tour one of the favorite vacation spots of the northeast, but most of the tourists will be gone. Runners can extend their stay in Hyannis to enjoy the tranquility of beautiful Cape Cod in winter. The year-round population of the cape is 210,000, but swells by three times that number during the summer months. Cape Cod has 550 miles of shoreline, totals 396 square miles, and has 360 lakes and ponds. Tourists come from all over the world just to experience Old Cape Cod. Race Weekend in Hyannis provides that opportunity—and so much more.
Hyannis, Massachusetts, one of 15 towns on Cape Cod, is a tranquil, relaxing, scenic, and tremendously enjoyable destination for running. Add to the location an exceptionally well-planned, well-organized race with three options and 34 years of history, and the result is a tremendously enjoyable running experience.
The Right Race, the Right Time
There are 34 years of tradition here. The marathon began in 1978, and the half marathon was added in 1985. The marathon is a qualifier for Boston. Beyond the tradition, however, there are unique aspects that help to make this event very special. And it is not only the last marathon before Boston, but is also first in the region in the calendar year. Late February is the perfect target to keep your running on track.
Set your goals now for 2014, and include this one on that list. Hyannis is your opportunity for a wonderfully memorable weekend at one of the Northeast's most beautiful locations—and a race you will not forget.

ugh, yet another interception by roethlisberger. i'm so glad they won't make the playoffs.
ugh, yet another interception by roethlisberger. i'm so glad they won't make the playoffs.
i hate to say it, but the ravens look to be a pretty good team this year. kudos to them.
We're too soft to beat the Ravens this year. We were lucky we weren't shutout again. Another pathetic game on both sides of the ball.
the steelers just were not a good team this year. at least they are officially out of the playoffs so people will stop with the stupid playoff talk.
SUCH A ****ING WASTE OF 3 TURNOVERS!!! Our defense played well, considering it got NO help from the offense whatsoever. We lost the field position battle all game, and the defense gave up a couple touchdowns, but still, when they had to step up, Townsend had a pick and a forced fumble and McFadden had another pick. But what do we do? 3 and out, or a fumble, or an interception, or a few sacks. The Ravens tried to let us back into the game, and our defense tried to get us back into the game, but our offense simply refused to do ANYTHING. And it wasn't even Willie Colon's fault! Our offensive line just got beat, Ben looked ****ing SCARED, Parker couldn't do anything, and Nate Washington was doing his best Will Blackwell impersonation.
Nate Washington played?.....lol
Does anyone else think Troy came back too early? He looked a little slow out there to me. Yes he got beat twice for TD's but that isn't the only reason I am asking. Other plays he just looked slower than normal.
No! No kudos ever to the f*cking Ravens!! They are a b*tch team with a bunch of f*cking *******s! F*ck the Ravens! They are undeserved!
I'm just glad I wasn't really expecting anything this game like I was the last one. I'm still pissed off though! Our offense was lost out there.

2005 Chrysler Town & Country ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
New seating system best in class in convenience.
This is a great time to be shopping for a new minivan. Ford, Toyota and Nissan launched all-new models for the 2004 model year and GM and Honda are introducing all-new models for 2005. To counter this, Chrysler has added more than a dozen new features to its Town & Country models, including an innovative new seating setup. And the price of entry has been dropped with the addition of two value-priced models.
Chrysler's new second- and third-row seats fold perfectly flat, flush with the floor, revealing more than 160 cubic feet of cargo space. That's substantially more than what's available in any sport-utility vehicle, including the behemoth Chevy Suburban. The Town & Country's seats are quickly and easily folded flat without having to remove the headrests. To accommodate the new seating system, Chrysler's engineers redesigned the Town & Country's underbody and designed a new fuel tank, exhaust system, parking brake cables, and rear climate control lines, and modified the rear suspension.
When the seats are in place, they provide comfortable perches for up to seven passengers. Storage bins and cargo nets assist with carrying groceries. Curtain air bags designed to provide full-length coverage for all three rows of seats are available, though they're not standard equipment.
The Town & Country offers a responsive engine, smooth, quiet ride. The luxurious Limited model comes with leather upholstery, upscale appointments, and dual power sliding doors and a power rear liftgate. GPS navigation, DVD entertainment, hands-free communication and other features are available for increased convenience. The Town & Country remains a solid choice in spite of new minivans from other manufacturers, and it makes a lot more sense for moving people around than an SUV.
The 2005 Chrysler Town & Country lineup includes several trim levels: base, LX, Touring, and Limited. Two V6 engines are available: A 3.3-liter V6 comes on base and LX models and produces 180 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque. A 3.8-liter V6 comes standard on Touring and Limited models and develops 215 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. All models come with a four-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is not available.
The base Town & Country ($20,330) is a short-wheelbase model, an apparent replacement for the discontinued Voyager. It comes equipped with air conditioning, power windows, tilt steering column, remote keyless entry, AM/FM/cassette, and dual sliding doors. Standard upholstery is cloth. The new Stow 'n Go seats are not included, however, and the second row is a bench seat. Anti-lock brakes are optional; rear drum brakes are standard.
The LX ($24,770) is a base model built on the same long wheelbase used by the rest of the models. It's equipped similarly to the base model, but gets the Stow 'n Go seating system, a CD changer, heated power mirrors, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and upgraded interior and exterior trim.
The Touring model ($27,070) steps you up to traditional Town & Country convenience features with dual power sliding doors, power liftgate, three-zone temperature control, upgraded audio, upgraded interior trim, eight-way power driver's seat, improved interior lighting, overhead console with trip computer, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls and speed control, tire-pressure warning system, universal garage door opener, roof rack, 16-inch wheels and tires, and traction control.
The Limited ($35,070) is a luxury model that comes standard with leather-trimmed upholstery, upgraded interior trim, heated seats, GPS navigation, air filtering, removable center console, power door locks, upgraded exterior trim, fog lights, automatic headlamps, Park Assist, power adjustable pedals, 16-inch wheels and tires, and a memory function for the radio, driver's seat and mirrors. It also comes standard with curtain airbags.
Loads of options and packages should ensure buyers will be able to come up with the perfect combination of features on the model they want. Leather upholstery is optional for the Touring model and is packaged with three-zone temperature control, the deluxe overhead console, and power seats ($2,100).
Side-impact airbags, curtain airbags, and ABS are optional on several models.
The Town & Country presents a sleek, solid stance and remains an attractive vehicle, even if it isn't the newest design. Subtle styling changes freshen the looks for 2005. Chrysler's winged badge now extends the width of the grille, which now features four horizontal chromed bars. New dual headlamps and a new front fascia includes a better integrated license plate frame and new circular fog lamps. New cladding with chromed inserts highlights the side view. And a new rear fascia includes chromed inserts for the rear park-assist system.
The Chrysler Town & Country looks aerodynamic in profile, with its raked windshield, rising roofline and beltline, and fast D-pillars framing canted rear windows. Pronounced wheel arches complement sharp character lines that flank the integrated grille. Rear-end styling tends to make Town & Country look wider and not as tall as it really is. Huge taillamps feature clear red lenses and jewel-like reflectors. The black piece of trim below the rear bumper for the park-assist looks tacked on.
There's nothing mini about today's minivans, and the Town & Country ranks among the largest. All but the base model are built on a long wheelbase.
Power sliding doors on both sides add convenience when moving passengers. They're particularly useful when you find yourself herding children while carrying two armloads of gear. Press the button on the remote transmitter twice and the door slides open; press it twice again and it slides closed and seals. From the second-row seat, the power sliding door can be opened and closed by pressing a button; it can also be opened manually. A safety lock switch hidden on the trailing edge of the door can be engaged to prevent a child from opening the sliding door from inside. The power sliding doors can be fussy when passengers are in a hurry to get out, however, and they usually are. Pulling on the outside lever opens the power door manually, with just slightly more effort than opening a regular manual door.
Some models come with manually operated sliding doors, which are easy to operate, smoothly sliding open and closed with the pull of a nicely designed lever. The outside door handles are comfortable, easy to operate and well designed; they impart a feeling of quality in appearance and operation. All door handles should be this good, but they aren't.
A power rear liftgate is available that adds convenience when picking up groceries or supplies. Press a button on the remote control and the liftgate opens or closes automatically. It's great feature for those all-too-frequent times when you approach the van with an armload.
The Chrysler Town & Country is a comfortable place to spend time. It provides seating for up to seven people, and all positions, including the third row, are roomy and comfortable. That's something that can't be said for any sport-utility vehicle. Cup holders are available at each seat, and the rearmost passengers each get their own storage console, though the plastic lid is flimsy. Seat belt anchors are height-adjustable in the front and middle rows.
The seats in our 2005 Limited model were nicely finished in light-colored leather with suede-like inserts. The material is soft and appears to be durable. The seat bottoms are nicely finished on all sides; some manufacturers don't finish the inboard side panels and that leaves an unattractive, unfinished look that you don't notice until after you've bought the vehicle. Attractive sycamore wood and satin-silver trim warmed the cabin.
Chrysler's new Stow 'n Go seating system is the best on the market. The second and third rows of seats fold flat into the floor leaving a perfectly flat platform for cargo. Folding and unfolding the seats is a quick three-step process. Pull one strap to drop the seatback, then pull two other straps to tuck it into the floor. This leaves a perfectly flat platform. Very few seats fold perfectly flat and no one else (except Dodge) has a second row that does this. The system is also flexible. The third row is split and either or both of the second-row captain's chairs can be stowed. So, for example, you could stow the right one-third of the third-row bench and the right-hand second-row seat for loading something long, while still leaving seating for yourself and three or four passengers. Alas, the front passenger seat does not fold down, so you may want to secure that kayak to the roof rack. All of the long-wheelbase Town & Country models come standard with Stow 'n Go.
Our 16-year-old third-row tester said getting into the third row was a little awkward, but she didn't appear to have that much trouble, routinely choosing to walk between the second-row captain's chairs rather than flipping the seats out of the way as Chrysler intended. Once back there, she said the seating was very comfortable. She then put on her headphones and that was the last we heard from her.
The low floor makes getting in and out through the side doors easy. Caesar the 160-pound mastiff requires a ramp to get into an SUV, but he stepped easily and without hesitation through the rear and side doors of the Town & Country without such assistance. The low load height also makes loading cargo easier, and the Town & Country can carry more stuff and bigger items than any SUV. There's a fair amount of cargo space behind the third row. When the seats are in place for passengers, there are wells behind the third-row seats that are perfect for groceries. A pair of cargo nets can be hooked onto hooks, providing well-designed bags to keep your melons from rolling around. Another net can be secured between either the second-row or front-row captain's chairs. Hooks on the backs of the seats are useful for hooking plastic grocery bags and other items. There's also space in front of the center console for a purse or tote bag. When it comes to moving combinations of people and stuff, the Chrysler Town & Country has no peers.
Many other features add day-to-day convenience. A time delay switch leaves the headlights on while you walk from the van to your door. Auxiliary outlets, two up front and one amidships, provide power for gadgets. Four big coat hooks make picking up the dry cleaning a more elegant chore, and the coat hooks fold away when not in use; few manufacturers do coat hooks this well. Three dome lights illuminate the cabin well. An available overhead console houses power switches for the rear hatch and sliding doors, along with compass and outside temperature readouts. The rear quarter windows are power operated. Dark ti.
Driving Impression
The 2005 Town & Country Limited model we drove delivered enough performance to exercise domination on busy freeways in Los Angeles. Response from its 3.8-liter V6 allowed us to work through high-speed traffic with five adults aboard, while its handling permitted easy passing on the winding sections in the hilly country outside Pasadena. Yet the ride was smooth and comfortable, even on rough city streets and bumpy big-city freeways. Drinking a hot cappuccino while driving can be done without fear.
All in all, driving the Chrysler Town & Country is pleasant and enjoyable. It rides smoothly and feels very stable at highway speeds. It handles competently and is surprisingly nimble for its size. Its power-assisted steering is light, making it easy to maneuver and park in crowded lots, and the front air dam isn't so low to the ground that it scrapes on curbs. Careful suspension tuning, a recently redesigned steering system and a rigid structure have raised the Town & Country's handling prowess to that of the leading minivans.
We found our Limited model quiet at high speeds. Chrysler says the 2005 model is more than 16 percent quieter than previous models. Wind noise has been reduced on 2005 models by incorporating triple door seals, molded gaskets, a more aerodynamic roof rack, and a spiraled antenna. Carrying on a conversation inside the Town & Country is easy and pleasant.
Four-wheel disc brakes stop the Town & Country quickly and without drama. Heavy-duty brake rotors and calipers ensure strong braking performance, durability. We like the pedal feel and found the brakes easy to modulate in stop-and-go traffic. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) help the driver maintain steering control in an emergency or panic stop. Traction control reduces front wheelspin on slippery surfaces.
The 3.8-liter V6 that comes on Touring and Limited models is rated at 215 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. It's considerably more powerful than the 3.3-liter V6 that comes on base and LX models, which is rated at 180 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque. Both are overhead-valve, push-rod V6s with two valves per cylinder rather than newer, overhead-cam, multi-valve designs. The 3.8-liter engine is rated 18/25 mpg City/Highway by the EPA, while the 3.3-liter is rated 19/26. Both are rated as low-emissions vehicles in all 50 states. The 3.3-liter V6 is a flexible-fuel engine, so it can use E85 ethanol.
The 3.3-liter V6 that comes on base and LX models delivers lively acceleration; we felt like we had plenty of motor to jackrabbit away from standstills or pull off that big pass. The engine is smooth and quiet when cruising, although it makes itself known under full-throttle acceleration.
Chrysler Town & Country is among the best in a field of great minivans. Its new Stow 'n Go seating design makes it more versatile than the competition. This isn't the newest minivan design, but effective updates and attention detail allow it to stand its ground against stiff competition from Toyota and other manufacturers.
The Town & Country is roomy, comfortable, practical, powerful and nimble. Order the Limited model and you can add the word luxurious to that list.

It is the slowest release protein food source and the ideal snack to keep the evening munchies at bay.
But take it 'neat'. Eat it with a spoon, not spread on bread or a cracker. Cut the carbs.
It will release protein into your body through the night.
This is the advice to me from Dr James Morton, senior lecturer in exercise and metabolism at Liverpool John Moores University, and nutrition adviser to Science in Sport. I'm part of their SiS Winter Academy.
Fasted Training
After my initial conversation with Tim Lawson, founder of SiS, I'd increased my fasted training to help weight loss and to encourage my body to use fat as endurance fuel. Initialy I over did things and rode too many fasted sessions. So I cut back and was now wondering how many fasted sessions I should do each week.
"Fasted training is one of my main research areas", Dr Morton explained over the phone. (Wow - I'm talking to the expert on fasted training).
"When we first published this people took things too far, doing all their sessions fasted. Frankly, we're not yet sure how to periodise it over the week, but two sessions should be fine".
Then came my lightbulb moment.
"Your weekly long ride over three hours would be a prime candidate for fasted". Eh? I thought I had to do these fueled? I said so in my last video (see below).
"Do the first 60-120 minutes fasted with just GoHydro in your bottle", Dr Morton explained, "then start feeding in the carbs".
Do I do this in additon to my two fasted turbo sessions? "You'll just have to see how it goes", came the reply. This really is such a new area of training nutrition research. We then discussed other SiS products I've been sent as part of their Winter Academy.
SiS Go Gel + L-Carnitine. Apparently Carnitine builds up in the body, so you need to be taking one gel a day for this to have greatest effect. But on the long ride, this would be the best gel with which to break my fast.
CLA Isomers. "Interesting you feel this works for you", said Dr Morton, "because I swear by this for fat burning and use it to help boxers make lower weights". It definietly works for me. It's not eight loss per se, but with exercise it encourages fat metabolising.
Omega 3 Shots. High qualty fish oils of which we don't eat enough in most diets. Why are SiS suppliments, like this and the CLA Isomers more expensive than rivals? "Because they are a purer source. If anything of ours costs more it's because it's purer and works better". Fair enough.
I wonder when they'll start selling cottage cheese?

Trey Williams has always had a basketball-inspired name, but it didn't have anything to do with his ability to shoot the ball from deep on the court as a toddler. As he grew older he developed his shooting skills, but he is also remembered for his ability to direct the Bisons on the court. He can still sometimes be found in Allen Arena shooting baskets. During one of those visits he stopped to talk with lipscombsports.com.
What sport did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played basketball from 2005 to 2007. I transferred from Kaskaskia Community College. Two of my teammates in junior college, Shaun Durant and Jason Guyette, were already here at Lipscomb.
"I liked the atmosphere and the environment. Probably the No. 1 reason was that my older brother, JanAndre, was already here. He is a big part of my life. That made my decision a little bit easier. Wherever he is, I feel comfortable.
"The second thing was I had already graduated from a private Christian school at Harding Academy in Memphis. I was very familiar with Lipscomb. My high school coach, Pete Froedden, had played as a point guard here at Lipscomb. I had a whole lot of knowledge of coach Don Meyer and the Lipscomb way before I stepped on campus.
"It was just the right fit for me. There were so many factors on the pro side. There weren't many cons at all. I prayed to God about it and he led me to the decision.
"Scott Sanderson was my head coach. The assistant coaches were Shaun Senters, Jay Walton and Hubie Smith."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"I would say it is the relationships I built with my teammates. It wasn't on the court as much as it was off of the court hanging out together in the High Rise dorm and eating in the cafeteria.
"It is a brotherhood. Eddie Ard and I spent countless hours in the gym together. We grew close working out together. Our friendship remains close. James Poindexter, Cam Robinson, Michael Lusk and Shaun Durant are like my brothers. I can't say enough good things about them.
"We played a bunch of huge games like Kentucky and Vanderbilt. It was standing room only for the Belmont games."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"I have more than one. First, there were all of my coaches - coach Jay, coach Shaun, coach Hubie and coach Sanderson.
"But some of the people that had a big influence on me would be shocked that I feel like they had an influence on me - John Ezell, Lin Garner, Mark McGee, Sherie Eubanks and Lint Smith. These are the people who did a lot for me. They kept me humble. They were there for me. They had positive words to uplift me every single day. They are some of the hardest working people in the building.
"To see Sherie, Mr. McGee, Mr. Ezell and Paul Nance always having smiles on their faces was great. That meant a lot to me that no matter what they had going on they went out of their way to sacrifice for me. And Lint would drop everything else he was doing to get the goals up and the court ready."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"The times I spent in chapel and in Bible classes as well as my other classes really helped me grow.
"Playing basketball is tough on you mentally. It can wear on you. Being away from your family is tough. You have to stay strong-minded.
"Going to chapel when you are a kid in school here you kind of take it for granted. When you get out in the real world you really understand what that means. There are so many things you have to do working in the real world. That 30 minutes of chapel every single day allowed you to be able to clear your head and give yourself to God. And that is huge."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"There is the quote that if you surround yourself with good people, good things are going to happen for you. If you surround yourself with bad people then bad things are going to happen to you.
"The biggest thing I took from Lipscomb is the knowledge I gained from all of the people that I have mentioned as being a part of my life. I put a lot of value in the relationships I have with people. You can't take money and the material things with you when it is your time to go, but I believe you can take the relationships you have with people with you."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"I have several - Dr. Randy Steger, Dr. Mark McGee, Dr. Jimmy McCollum, Dr. Tom Seale and Ray Harris. Those are the ones that stand out the most for me as a communications major.
"Nothing was ever given by them. You had to work for everything. It didn't matter if I was playing basketball or not. The most important thing was I was treated equally. They never tried to make me feel that I was better than anybody else because I played basketball. That was huge for me.
"They drove and pushed me to think outside the box and strive for big things. All of those professors set the bar high. And if you needed help getting to that bar they would have done anything they could do to help you."
Where do you live now?
"I live in Nashville."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I work at Lead Academy, a charter school, on Charlotte Pike. I am a special education teacher for seventh graders. There are 25 kids on our case load. I split them up with another teacher.
"I also coach sixth grade boys basketball. It is a challenge. But I like challenges. At the end of the day it does something for me. I try to give back and help kids and make them feel like they are just like everybody else. They might have something that is slowing them down and they may have to do more to reach their potential.
"Any time I can give back something to a child that is what I am going to do. A lot of people out there did that for me.
"I have been there for a year. Before that I worked as a school suspension teacher and coached girls basketball, girls soccer and football at Eisenhower High School for three-and-a-half years in Decatur, Ill."

Schools show modest enrollment gains
If there's an oil boom going on, you can't tell it from school enrollment figures.Through the first few weeks of the school year, enrollment at Big Spring, Forsan and Coahoma districts is up, but not dramatically so, compared to this time last year.Big Spring Independent School District officials report 4,156 students enrolled in classes, up 23 from this time last year. Most of that increase is centered around the junior high, which saw a boost of 56 students from this time last year, but elementary enrollment, which has trended up in recent years, is down 24 from last year.BSISD officials will never complain about having more students, but admit they were expecting an even higher spike this year."Honestly, with the oil boom, I thought at this time we'd have more students," Assistant Superintendent Danny Ferrell said. "But it is what it is — based on these figures, I'd say the boom hasn't quite hit us yet."Howard County's other two public school systems also show modest enrollment gains so far this year.Forsan ISD has 705 students enrolled in classes, up about 12 from the previous year. That figure is slightly above what the district averages in a normal year, Superintendent Randy Johnson said."On average, we have between 685 and 695 students, so this a little bit higher than what we usually have year in and year out," he said. "From the end of last year to the start of this year shows a nice jump in enrollment. For whatever reason, we lost a lot of kids last year."Because of a limited number of residences in the district, Johnson said FISD is not expecting a dramatic enrollment increase, even if this area receives a dramatic influx of residents because of the boom."When I talk to realtors, they tell me there are no houses for sale (within the district)," he said. "So, we're not anticipating any major fluctuations (in enrollment) in the near future."Coahoma ISD also shows modest enrollment growth from this time last year, increasing from 852 to 881 students. The biggest share of that increase is at the elementary school, which reports 33 more students than this time in 2012.While this year's enrollment gains are modest at Coahoma, it marks the second consecutive year the district has posted an increase."This is pretty significant, considering we had a big increase last year, also," CISD Superintendent Amy Jacobs said. "We have about 100 more students than we did two years ago at this time."

Distance Education | News
While online instruction — including MOOCs — is frequently peddled as a way to expand access and deliver learning without barriers to students, the format is ill-suited to help those who could most benefit from a college education. Those are the parting thoughts from the Campaign for the Future of Higher Education, a coalition of faculty groups, in its last of three reports examining the potential fallout from higher ed's seemingly unstoppable rush to adopt online forms of education.
Previous Reports in the Campaign for the Future of Higher Education Series
Part 1: "Faculty Coalition: It's Time to Examine MOOC and Online Ed Profit Motives"
Part 2: "Faculty Coalition: Forget About Cost Savings with Online Programs"
In the latest report, "The 'Promises' of Online Higher Education: Access," the coalition laid out its argument that even as the population of "underserved" students grows, access to the support services these students need to succeed in college are diminishing. Simultaneously, the report stated, they're increasingly being shunted into online programs for which they're particularly ill-suited.
The report's authors listed several problems with using online courses, especially in situations where the programs are intended to bring up students' skills in foundational subjects:
The report also stated that research shows that lower-performing students do better in face-to-face classes than in online settings.
In 2010 the Community College Research Center analyzed the findings of a 2009 Department of Education meta-analysis of online learning studies, which is frequently cited as favoring the outcomes of online instruction over face-to-face courses. However, the Department of Ed actually revised its report in 2010 based in part on the CCRC's analysis. The CCRC had found no evidence supporting the idea that fully online college courses would "produce superior learning outcomes, particularly among low-income and academically underprepared students."
Studies done at two-year colleges in Virginia and Washington found that fully online courses tend to have higher withdrawal rates than comparable face-to-face classes and that all students tended to perform more poorly in a fully-online class; those with a strong academic background experienced only a "small dip in performance"; those who were less prepared had a "larger dip."
What online classes can't provide, the report noted, are components that are proving particularly beneficial for "low-income, first-generation college students." These include "manifestations" of faculty caring and support, student involvement in campus life, financial aid, advising, counseling, and tutoring services.
The coalition concluded its latest salvo to those who would rush into online learning with a plea to consider issues of social justice: "We risk creating a system in which the rich on-campus college experience is reserved for the elite while we herd first-generation, low-income students into massive online courses.... The dangers of a two‐tiered system make the 'online everything' providers' rhetoric about bringing higher education to the masses particularly chilling. For most American students, who are increasingly diverse, low‐income, and academically less prepared for the rigors of collegiate study, an uncritical rush to 'online everything' may, despite the promise, ultimately provide only access to failure."

The 5th Annual OluKai Ho'olaule'a went off May 11 – 12 on Maui, with the largest showing of paddlers in the event's history. The two-day ho'olaule'a, or 'celebration,' drew hundreds of paddlers to race Maui's famous downwind run, the 8-mile stretch from Maliko Gulch to Kanaha Beach Park. In addition to the racing, the festival featured a family fun paddle, sailing canoe rides, and a luau with live music and hula performances.

ONU Law Annual Public Interest Auction a Success
Results are in for the 2013 Public Interest Auction, sponsored by the Office of Alumni and Career Services and PILA, ONU Law's Public Interest Law Association. The 2013 Public Interest Auction raised nearly $9,000.00 for students interested in working in the public interest field. This will allow for nine ONU Law students to pursue opportunities this coming summer. A big thank you goes out to everyone who attended the event and donated their time and money. The Career Services Office is still accepting donations.
History of the Public Interest Auction
For nearly two decades, ONU Pettit College of Law Summer Public Interest Fellowship Program has allowed ONU law students to pursue their goals and dreams of becoming public interest attorneys – and to make a difference in our society.
Public service is often a challenging area of law education for students to pursue. The majority of public interest internships are unpaid, which creates an obstacle for those who want to work with the underserved, and especially for those looking for experience in large cities.
To combat this issue, ONU Law's Summer Public Interest Fellowship Program has provided more than $85,000 in scholarship aid to committed students in the College of Law who wish to pursue careers in public service. The scholarship funds are raised through the annual Public Interest Auction sponsored by Law Career Services. The first auction was held in 1998, and, since then, these scholarships have been completely funded by this event.
Since its creation in 1994, fellowship stipends have been granted to more than 80 students. These stipends serve to further the advancement of ONU law students seeking volunteer work in unpaid fields of the public sector, who also desire to continue a career in public service after graduation. A committee of faculty and administration selects students to become ONU Public Interest Fellows based on their previous interest in public service. This year, the committee chose 10 law students from a variety of backgrounds.
Fellowship program recipients have previously volunteered in nonprofit organizations, government agencies and unassisted clerking positions. In these positions, students work to assist women and children, minorities, the elderly, the mentally and physically disabled, and other groups or persons otherwise unable to obtain legal representation.
