Cigarette lit near oxygen machine causes fatal fire
LAFAYETTE — Fire investigators said a 77-year-old Lafayette woman died from injuries suffered during an early Wednesday morning flash fire caused by the lighting of a cigarette near the woman's oxygen machine.
The fire occurred at 2:36 a.m. at 99 Ambroise St. after the woman, identified as Geneive McZeal, lit a cigarette while wearing a nasal cannula supplied by an oxygen machine, Alton Trahan, spokesman for the Lafayette Fire Department, said in a news release.
"The flame ignited the oxygen from the cannula causing a flash fire," Trahan said. "The cause of the fire was an accident."
The victim's husband, Ervin McZeal, was in a separate room at the time of the fire and escaped without injuries, Trahan said.
The city has had one or two small fires involving oxygen machines in the past, but "this is the first fatality in Lafayette like this that I know of," Trahan said.

Maley enjoying double life as teacher, coach

WESTERN SPRINGS — Katie Maley leads a double life.
By day, the 2002 graduate of Lyons Township High School, teaches Spanish to 10 classes of children in the three elementary schools in Western Springs Elementary District 101: Field, Forest Hills, and Laidlaw.
And during the winter and spring, once the bell rings to signal the end of the school day, Maley heads west into Hinsdale. She doesn't stop at a phone booth to change into a cape and turn into a superhero. But her mind set changes considerably on the way to Hinsdale Central, where she is the poms squad coach for basketball games during the winter and varsity badminton coach in the spring.
"I love all of it, and it is very different," Maley said. "I was a little nervous when I first started teaching in District 101 because the elementary kids are younger than the kids I had taught before."
This is Maley's fourth year in District 101 after teaching Spanish for one year each at Hinsdale Central, while filling in for a teacher on maternity leave, and at St. Cletus.
Maley said she has enjoyed working with elementary-age children.
"The kids are so smart, and the parents are very supportive," she said. "I originally thought I would want to teach junior high kids, but I really like the elementary kids because they are so excited to learn. The exposure at a young age to a language gets them excited."
As much as she loves teaching elementary students, Maley also looks forward to her late afternoons, along with some evenings and weekends, with the high school students at Hinsdale Central.
"By the end of the school day, I'm ready for more mature conversation," she said. "It is a different mind set, and it's great for giving me a second wind."
Maley was on the poms squad at LT for two years along with playing badminton and tennis while there. She also was a dancer throughout her days in high school and college.
"The girls involved with poms at Central are amazing," she said. "I love working with them. It's the best group I've ever seen."
Maley took over as Central's varsity badminton coach last spring after being involved with the lower levels for four years.
"My family all thinks I'm a trader," she said of her coaching involvement at Central. "I root for my poms and badminton, but otherwise I root for LT. I'm a devil and a lion."

Rated 2.2 out of 5 by 16
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carol70 The woman consult on the phone helped me immensely in deciding what to purchase. Fit seems perfect.
The Spanx seems to fit perfectly. I've tried it on with the gown but will actually wear it in a couple of weeks. A previous Spanx I had (slip top, short to hips, several years old) did not stay up, and this structured style - with stays - I think will. I'm older so need the support. Great phone consult in concert with website images in helping me make a decision and very quick delivery of product.
Thank you. And Delta love.
PS - In the survey "trouble area," I suggest you add 1) midriff, and 2) bra line in the back. These are my 2 trouble areas.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Oregonian Sizing Needs Improvement
I am large-busted (36G), but I wear a size 12 dress/pant. In order to get something close to my bra size (38DD), I had to order the largest Boostie-yay. Although the bra marginally works, the body of the shaper doesn't hold me in at all - it's barely snug. It would be much more effective to offer sizing for both the bra size and the body; e.g., you'd order a 36G bra size and a medium or large body (by dress/pant size).
I kept the product because it is to wear under my wedding dress and I needed something smooth. I trust Spanx for other products and love the fabric.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Boohoo Torso issue
Got this for a black tie event under a long gown when I tried it on in the store it was tight but fine...one hour into wearing it I had to keep going to the ladies as I needed to yank it up... it is too short in the torso. In addition the underwire and corset bones left me with marks that are still visible 24 hrs later. As I wore it I am out $118.00 !!!! Very unhappy !!! All the other comments are right on...wish I had read them prior to purchasing this item.

Rated 2 out of 5 by charlie4 Did not fit
The back is cut too low, leaves a lot for overhang. The bra size was too large and if I sized down the rest would not fit. Very disappointed and I had to pay for shipping it back cost me over $13.00

Couldn't pull it up passed my waist and I am 5'6" and a size 6.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Nicolep too small, and too big
I followed the sizing chart, and could barely get it on. I actually had to unsnap the crotch and put it over my head. However, I couldn't get it snapped again because my torso was too long. I am 5'7 and 185lbs. AND then up top was another story. I am a full D cup and didn't even begin to fill it out. I ordered the XL. Returned...

Rated 2 out of 5 by lftalgonquian Just one problem
This garment is well made, but the double folded hem around the leg openings makes for a dreadful panty line. I had expected a disappearing edge around the legs for an invisible line.
April 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by MJ10 Too stiff
Found the bust size too small. The garment too stiff. A struggle to slip on. The fabric too thick. I returned it.

A term used in information technology and management consulting to describe an over-priced service which cannot be explained except in esoteric terms which the customer cannot understand. What the company needs is a whole new HR solution.
1. | Solution | ||
An answer to all of the problems of America, there are two answers. Man: I have a solution to all of America's problems
Solution 1> Death to Bush! Solution 2> Fake ID's to Canada for everyone! |
3. | solution | ||
This term became popular in the business world because it was used to describe some products or services that when bundled together would lead to a complete solution. For example, Microsoft Office isn't just a suite of applications, it's a total office solution.
The term, like most management buzzwords has lost any meaning it originally had. People no longer sell products or services any more, they're all selling solutions. With the golden age of the 'give us your money and don't ask questions' Internet boom of the late 90s this word grew to become e-solutions. An e-solution is something to do with the Internet. No-one is really sure what it does but it makes web pages or something and so is a must-have. Steve: We offer turnkey catering solutions for consumers and prosumers
Dave: You sell sandwiches from a battered old caravan parked on an industrial estate don't you? Steve: Ssssh, she doesn't have to know that. |

This term comes from the fact that gelatin is extracted from the hides of cattle, primarily, and then graded for different uses in food, pharmaceutical and the adhesive industry. Naturally, the technical grades are used to produce hide or cake glue. The term 'cake glue' refers to the finished adhesive in a cake form that must be melted by the end user prior to application.

Education officials say there were other chaperones with Brooks, including the principal.
DOE officials also said Brooks was an adviser to a dance group that operated at PS 243 in Brooklyn, and it appears he occasionally took group members on non-school-sponsored trips to the movies.
Brooks was arrested on Monday after investigators say they uncovered videos of him assaulting two children in a school.
The videos came from a computer seized earlier this month when he was first arrested.
DOE officials said Brooks was suspended without pay since his first arrest.
He is being held without bail.

Hi, guys
I'm thinking of building a headphone setup for my lappy by the end of the year and I've pretty much decided that this will include a pair of Alessandro MS2s. Now I'm up to thinking about upgrading the onboard soundcard (I'd buy an Asus STX in a heartbeat but I'm using a laptop so soundcards are out of the picture).
I've got quite a tight budget because I want to make the whole setup around $500. So around $200 for a combo amp and DAC for use with MS2s, but I could possibly go up to about $450, though I don't want to. So what do you think I should do?
I've looked at the Fiio E7, Hifi Man EF2A and Matrix cube.
The EF2A fits right into the budget between the two others, so how much better than the Fiio and worse than the Matrix will it be?
I've heard that it is quite bright (which I don't want - I'd prefer a warmer amp to make the Alessandros a tad less harsh and bring out their punchy bass characteristics) and this can be down to the tubes. Would replacment ones warm up the unit's sound? And where could I get replacement tubes that fit in Australia?
So, which of those options would you say is best for my needs? And are there any better alternatives?
Thank you very much,

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Toasty smelling, with a hint of burnt banana chip, vanilla and roasted nuts. Round and mouthfilling for a fino, with toasty, nutty flavors followed by dry apricot and mild citrus. Focused on the finish, and lightly nutty as it fades away." - Wine Enthusiast
Cellar/Tasting Notes This is a very good amontillado for under $18. It has a clear, deep gold appearance with a clean, pronounced nose of almonds, lemon zest, cedar, and cured maple. The cured maple carries on through the palate along with oily/resinous quality of juniper, lemon zest, bread, nuts, and a wonderful long..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A fine elegant sherry of the highest quality- a stellar sensation from one of the oldest and most prestigious producers in Spain's sherry district.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The palate is racy due to no shortage of acidity, and the flavor profile is led by a salty, briney almond and leather character. Sheer and serious, with not a sugar cube in sight."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Another impressive Oloroso from Gonzalez Byass. This is a sweet, dark, brooding Sherry with prune and other sweet fruit aromas. The palate is rich but has good flow, while dark flavors of dulce de leche and burnt brown sugar are wonderful. Sweet but balanced by mild coffee-like bitterness on the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dark amber-hued non-vintage East India Solera is essentially an old Oloroso blended with an old Pedro Ximenez, which gives it a sweet character.

10 Incredible National Parks of Canada
Affordable, astoundingly beautiful and right next door!
From the continent that brought you Yellowstone and Yosemite: Astounding scenery! Glaciers you can climb! Swarms of wild butterflies!
We do not exaggerate. The National Parks of Canada are among the top touristic destinations in the world. And thanks to a good exchange rate, they also remain a highly affordable vacation for American travelers. Today, we're counting down our picks for the best of the best.
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, British Columbia
Vancouver Island's west coast is already Canada's top surfing destination. Add a 46-mile trail through old-growth temperate rain forest, a hundred islands for wilderness kayakers, and 20,000 migrating gray whales each spring, and it's no wonder the 93-mile strip of seashore is so popular that reservations are required to visit certain parts.
Inland, it's a temperate rain forest, which means it gets around 120 inches of rain a year. (So pack the rubber stuff!) And don't hike the trails without a buddy--wild cougars are frequently observed in parts of the park.
When to go: Late June to early September for the finest weather, but March and April for the whale migration.
Wildlife: Killer whales cruise offshore, eagles soar over the Broken Islands, sea lions and seals play in the surf. Bear-watching boats depart from the towns of Tofino and Ucluelet for about $50 a run. (All prices in this article are in U.S. dollars.)
Where to stay: The waterfront Whaler's Point Guesthouse in Tofino, a town that's becoming well known for its galleries. Simple private doubles $57, 250/725-3443, tofinohostel.com/.
Don't miss: Dipping your toes into tidal pools or exploring the rain forest with the park's free interpretive walks and trails. Nuu-chah-nulth Trail, for one, focuses on the history of the First Nations, the preferred term for Canada's indigenous people. For details, make a stop at the park's recently revamped Wickaninnish Centre at Long Beach.
Kids: Teenage girls can learn to ride the waves at Surf Sister's five-day summer camps ($375) and two-day programs ($148). Lessons for anyone 12 and up are $57. 877/724-7873, surfsister.com/.
Planning: 250/726-7721; Tourism British Columbia, 800/435-5622, hellobc.com/.
Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta
Separated by a slashed clearing through the forest, Alberta's Waterton Lakes National Park and neighboring Glacier National Park in Montana form the world's first International Peace Park. The tiny lakeside town of Waterton sits where the Rocky Mountains drop dramatically to rolling prairies, generating winds so strong the historic seven-story Prince of Wales Hotel has to be anchored with huge cables.
When to go: The sunniest weather is from June through September. For wildflowers--55 percent of Alberta's wildflowers are found in the park--visit in early summer; for bird migrations and the best animal sightings, go in late fall.
Wildlife: Watch for moose at Cameron Valley (a popular canoeing lake); black bear, elk, and bighorn sheep on the prairie portion of the park; eagles on updrafts in the valley; and grizzlies wandering in the wilderness beyond town.
Don't miss: The two-hour cruise along the shores of Upper Waterton Lake, which is the deepest lake in the Rockies. It goes to Goat Haunt, a U.S. ranger station just over the border in Montana ($19 adults, $14 ages 13 to 17, $7 kids, Waterton International Shoreline Cruise Company, 403/859-2362).
Where to stay: Waterton Lakes Lodge is the only full-service resort in town (from $163 in summer, about $50 less in spring and fall, 888/895-6343, watertonlakeslodge.com/). The historic Prince of Wales Hotel, below, has an undeniably spectacular view--unfortunately, it charges high rates to match. You're better off visiting it for afternoon tea ($19).
You need to know: Because there are only 400 hotel rooms available in town, you really do have to book far in advance!
Budget secret: Park interpreters from both the United States and Canada lead free cross-border, full-day hikes every Saturday. You only have to pay for the boat fare: $4 to $11, depending on age.
Planning: 403/859-2224; regional information, 403/853-2252, watertonpark.com/.
Banff National Park, Alberta
Canada's oldest national park started with three prospectors poking around the Rockies. They didn't find gold, just a steaming, sulfurous hot spring, but the protection of that discovery, in 1885, led to the creation of a 656-square-mile park of jagged snow-capped mountains, broad U-shaped valleys, turquoise lakes, rich forests, and meandering rivers. More than 4 million visitors pay their respects every year, and with some of the world's best hiking and skiing, peak season never ends.

This is such a diverse tour of which I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. You get to experience the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, including visiting the Grand Palace and shopping down the Koh San Road. The overnight train to Surat Thani is a great experience if a little tiring.Nothing that a Thai beer or Whiskey couldn't help with. Koh Sok National Park is beautiful. The walks through the jungle were great, finishing off with swimming in cold water falls. The lodge that we stayed in was run by a family who were all so lovely and enjoyed sitting down with us in the evenings.Then onto the beautiful islands. Koh Phangan, Koh Tao then Koh Samui. Salad beach in Koh Phangan was my favourite place we stayed. Hotel was great and the beach was pure paradise. The snorkelling tours on both the small islands were amazing. We even got a chance to see sharks in Koh Tao. Finally Koh Samui. You have to go to the Starz ladyboy cabaret show and to the Ark for dinner on the beach. Plenty of time to shop too! What I really liked about this tour was the fact that even though there's a lot to take in it still feels really relaxing. We had free days on each of the islands which is great for chilling out on the beach. Andy our tour guide was great. He couldn't have done enough for us and knew so much about his country and its history. I loved my first experience of Thailand and will definately go back! The people are lovely, food is fantastic and the country is beautiful. You won't regret it if you book this tour! My tips for the tour: Take a hat for the grand palace in bangkok. It was 40 degrees when we were there! Eye Mask for the train as they keep the lights on. Leech socks for Koh Sok trekking. Something light (but not see through) to cover your shoulders when visiting temples. |

Faculty in the Mathematics Department at Scottsdale Community College have been working hard this year to create, revise, and organize materials for our OER project in several of our courses. This is exciting for all of us!
Our goal is to offer all of our MAT 09x Introductory Algebra, MAT 12x Intermediate Algebra, and MAT 150 College Algebra courses using OER materials starting this Fall 2012. During the 2011-2012 academic year, we have pilot tested our materials, formed a learning community of very talented mathematics faculty, and collaborated with each other to further refine the OER textbook, student support materials, and online homework assignments. This summer, several faculty (Bill Meacham, Judy Sutor, Jenifer Bohart, Donna Guhse, and Linda Knop) will be working hard to take what we have learned from our spring pilot and, once again, refine these materials. The exciting part of the refinement process is that we have complete control over the quality of what we adopt to support our classes! We love this!
Recently, our OER team received the SCC Innovation of the Year Award. Only 1 team per college in the Maricopa Community College District receives this award. As a result, we were invited to give a presentation in hopes of receiving the widely sought-after District Innovation of the Year Award. The presentation slides are available at: OER Innovation of the Year. Wish us luck that we are awarded our District IOTY Award very soon!
As part of our OER project, our learning community has restructured the course so that we provide meaningful support for students, both inside and outside of the classroom. Before class, students can complete a "mini-lesson" to help prepare them for the next class session. During class, they receive instruction and engage in paired board work. After class, they use iMathAS and problem solving activities to support their learning. The next class session then allows for more active learning and engagement with the mathematics. Outside of the classroom, students' learning is supported by the OER textbook and video tutorials created by MathIsPower4U's James Sousa, as well as the Khan Academy.
Students have been appreciative of our efforts to use free (or nearly free!) materials for their mathematics courses. In fact, feel free to watch a couple of student testimonials about their experience in an OER math class. It's exciting to hear that they are using technology — their smartphone, their tablet, etc. — to complete online homework and to access the textbook.
It's a wonderful time to be teaching college mathematics!

Ministers meeting in Brussels are expected to agree to deploy British troops to help train the Malian army.
An EU training mission is likely to see "tens" of troops sent in a "support" role to the North African state.
A separate meeting in Africa is likely to see a number of personnel offered to support a United Nations training mission in areas neighbouring Mali.
The Ministry of Defence refused to confirm that up to 200 troops could be involved in the missions.
David Cameron told French President Francois Hollande at the weekend that Britain is "keen" to help Paris with its military operation to oust Islamist militants in northern Mali.
The Prime Minister has said the UK is ready to offer logistical, intelligence and surveillance help to France but has ruled out a combat role for British personnel.
The RAF has already provided two heavy-lift C-17 transport planes and a Sentinel surveillance aircraft to assist France's operation.

Torrington >> Emerging artists will debut in Torrington's new pop-up gallery this Friday.
Located on the second floor of the ARTSPACE gallery at 5 Water St., this pop-up gallery is the first of its kind in town. This new addition to the growing art scene is supported by the Torrington Downtown Partners, LLC and Arts and Culture Torrington.
The show, titled "What We Call Balance," will feature the work of seven artists from New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. ARTSPACE Executive Director, Judith McElhone, said she hopes this is the first of many pop-up galleries in Torrington.
"I think the gallery is beneficial for the city, ARTSPACE and the artists," said McElhone.
Gallery supporters hope that pop-ups will bring energy to ARTSPACE, which tends to focus on high quality professional artists. These temporary art spaces will bring artists to Torrington who wouldn't be here otherwise.
Karri Chapman, a former emerging artist who exhibited at ARTSPACE and has since joined the team, came up with the idea. The show is being curated by Chapman and Margaret Vaughan, both recent graduates of Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford.
"She brings energy and talent," McElhone said of Chapman.
The exhibit space is being loaned for temporary use by Torrington Downtown Partners, LLC, but it was up to the artists to get it ready for opening day. The rooms were cleaned, painted and converted into gallery space by the artists themselves.
"They are an articulate and very talented group," said McElhone.
Pop-up hours will coincide with ARTSPACE hours so that visitors can take advantage of everything the space has to offer. An opening reception will take place January 11th from 6 to 8 p.m. The show is open to the public. Future pop-ups will be housed in this space as long as it is available. Continued...
ARTSPACE began as an initiative of Arts and Culture Torrington, but due to their success they have recently become a separate entity. They are now a non-profit group housed on 33 Main St., which McElhone is very excited about. Currently, they are booking shows into 2014.

Unique Funding Opportunities
Lakeland College's Board of Trustees has finalized its leadership plans for the college's presidency. On Tuesday, Board of Trustees Chairperson Robert Melzer announced that the board had appointed Daniel Eck as its interim president. He succeeds Michael Grandillo, who has resigned.
Eck's appointment is indefinite, and the college has no plans to conduct a presidential search in the near future.
Eck came to Lakeland in February of 2008 as a special assistant to former Lakeland President Stephen Gould, and he was named senior vice president in September of 2008. He has led virtually all administrative facets of the college, including finance, strategic planning, institutional research, human resources, information technology, facilities/grounds and international programs.
"We are very pleased that Dan is eager to assume this important role," Melzer said. "Dan's accomplishments at the college, along with his experience in managing many of Lakeland's day-to-day operations and our strategic planning to date, have given him the experience needed to lead Lakeland. We celebrated an important milestone with the college's 150th anniversary last year which has provided great momentum and enthusiasm for the future."
Melzer noted that Lakeland recently completed its Sesquicentennial Campaign, which raised more than $7.1 million, a $600,000 increase over the original goal of $6.5 million.
Eck will lead the completion and implementation of the strategic planning process currently underway.
"I feel honored and humbled that the trustees have placed their faith in me to lead Lakeland," Eck said. "I'm very excited that I will have the chance to continue working with our dedicated faculty, staff and our board to serve our students. Together, we will plan the next phase of the college's evolution. We have started many important intiatives in the past year, and we will keep moving forward."
Eck managed completion of Lakeland's $3.5 million front entrance project, introduced and led an initiative that captured hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost savings and efficiencies, and led the restructuring of several administrative departments.
In Eck, Lakeland has a dynamic leader with an eclectic professional background. A graduate of the Indiana University School of Law, he spent several years at a major law firm in Chicago. He then worked for five years in the museum field, serving as associate general counsel at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and deputy director of administration at The John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan.
Prior to joining Lakeland, he was director of development and external relations at Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, and he co-founded M12, a nonprofit that designs and implements public art projects.
He earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Beloit College and studied at American University in Cairo, Egypt.
"I'm very proud to be part of Lakeland College," Eck said. "I look forward to being deeply engaged with all of our constituencies: students and their parents, our faculty and staff, alumni, donors and the greater community. This college is an important resource to this region, and we will be working hard to make sure our students have access to quality, affordable higher education."
Melzer complimented Grandillo on many of the changes he introduced, including some new approaches to admissions and student recruitment that have Lakeland on pace to deliver impressive enrollment results this fall. Grandillo's ambitious approach to community building has been an effective way for Lakeland to expand its reach in the region, and those efforts will continue, Melzer said.
"Dr. Grandillo brought great enthusiasm and energy to the college, and we appreciate this leadership and service." Melzer said. "In the end, the trustees and Dr. Grandillo differed philosophically on a number of decisions. We wish Dr. Grandillo nothing but the best in his future endeavors."

Apparently this hot new computer game my wife just purchased for me was incorrectly titled. Instead of calling it "SimCity", it should have been called "SimInstallation". I put the disc in my computer about a half an hour ago and it made me sign up for this thing called "Origin" and then agree to a hundred different disclaimers and prompts and sign over my firstborn and then install itself and then perform update after update… so much fun! Hot installation and setting up action! It feels so real - I hope this game never ends!
(via Deadline.com) So if it takes pirates 3 hours to get a TV show out to the web, then maybe, just maybe, the majors should think about ways to get their content out before that 3 hours is up. And I'm not talking On Demand through your cable or sat provider, I'm talking through Google Play, Amazon, iTunes, and other streaming media providers. Seriously, it's 2013. If I want to watch a TV show after it has first aired, even after the show has just started, you know, like 5 minutes ago (even sports please!), I should be able to pay a reasonable price to get it on the device I want where I want. I mean, what am I, some kind of crazy future person who has wild ideas about how I should consume content, you know, as a consumer? Beat the pirates at their own game by providing a better experience with instant provisioning. Make money, y'know. Just a thought.
I don't know much about the cult following of Veronica Mars, but I do know it's impressive when a long-dead TV show's creators can turn to Kickstarter to crowdfund a film adaptation. But, what I think is really at the heart of this story is that this is further evidence of our digital "return" to folk culture, where, as Charlene Li might put it, we continue to use new technologies to get what we want from each other instead of incumbent institutions. Although, in this case an incumbent is utilizing the crowd, but still, it just might work. It's hybrid-folk, and I think it's cool - a democratization of a continually flattening system of media production.
Go Veronica Mars fans!
I totally forgot that I made this pin board a year or so ago when my friends were all joining Pinterest. Need moar images!
I imagine the same thing happened with last year's two big Snow White movies, too. Maybe the legal department can get top billing on these movies now!
When I want to share something on Google+, I select the circles of connections I want to share that something with, and I am confident that what I am sharing will be visible to those circles and no one else.
On the contrary, when I share something on Facebook, if I wish to limit what is shared I must change the post's settings and decide if the whole world gets to see it, or if just my friends and/or their friends get to see it, or I must customize which specific friends shouldn't see it, one by one. That or I can select specific groups of friends, family or whomever that I might have taken the time to create, a process, in my opinion, no where near as easy as creating Google+ circles to begin with (perhaps because Google+ has benefited from being new and you can immediately decide which circle a new connection falls under when you add them).
Lesson learned: Google is about deciding who you want to see your content, whereas Facebook is about deciding who don't want to see your content.
Which seems more logical? Does Facebook's approach benefit anyone? What about Google's, is Google going about it all wrong? And why is it still so seemingly obfuscated and confusing for the lay user to figure out how to filter what they share on Facebook? Facebook is going to collect that data anyways, and since forming aggregate demographic profiles of what certain types of people are saying, doing and liking is what matters to their advertising schema, why does Facebook really need us all to share so openly with everyone? Can't they still target advertising and grant us greater control?

Will made some key adjustments during the contest that paid off big time, "I felt great all weekend and learned a lot about the site, boat and driver during the preliminary round. I completely changed my game plan, the way I skied and my skis' setup in the final to take the boat out of the equation. My plan paid off, and I won the event by a sizable margin.

Runners hit the wall of $255 marathon entry fees.
The price increase that put an entry in the ING New York City Marathon at $255 has created fears among runners and organizers that the sport will price itself out of its of success.
A story from Bloomberg details the backlash against the price hike, and the sentiment that marathons are now becoming elitist.
"I'm concerned about the sport," said Rick Nealis, race director of the Marine Corps Marathon in Arlington, Va. "When are we going to price ourselves to the point where people stop coming?"
Not yet, it seems.
The Bank of America Chicago Marathon sold out its 45,000 entries in six days, at $150 per entry.
Demand for the New York Marathon, even at the $255 price, has been strong, according to the Bloomberg piece.
And running is in a boom, with participation in the half-marathon growing by double-digit percentages and more than a half million people now finishing a 26.2-mile race each year.
In the Bloomberg piece, Nealis touts the Marine Corps Marathon as the only one in the country with a fee below $100.
Not true.
The Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon has an entry fee of $75.
8 Comments for "Runners hit the wall of $255 marathon entry fees."
I was excited to work toward an automatic qualifier last year -- and am passing on the race because of costs. NYCM is actually $255 for non-NYRR's (pretty much anyone outside of the NYC area; otherwise the NYRR cost would need to be factored in for an even more unfavorable comparison).
Glad to see the Lakefront keeping costs down. The Comrades quote is either ignorant or self-serving (but glad to see them keeping the costs down as well), as there are numerous <$100 marathons in the U.S. A few marathons come to mind here in Colorado, with one of the lowest being a trail race in Salida for <$50, but the list includes other road races (Steamboat, Estes Park). Many others across the country are otherwise <$100 for "early entry", meaning that they only exceed $100 if you take the luxury of waiting to register at the last minute (which can be a nice option in some circumstances). Lastly, since all ultramarathons are also marathons (and then some), with many 50k's and 50M's still being less than $100 -- that's where you really get your money's worth.
With that, I think races will follow the dichotomy of runners themselves: in it for hype, crowds, Facebook bragging, and "bling"/trinkets; or in it for the love of running. Because of the latter, there will still be plenty of affordable options.madcoca Feb 13, 2012 12:48 PM
My favorite races are the low-key ones that charge $5-10 with no shirt.
The inaugural Minocqua No Frills Marathon has an early registration fee of $35...yeah not as exciting as running in NYC but probably prettier.madrnr Feb 13, 2012 4:41 PM
That sounds like a good Off the Couch post. Can you send me the details, or a link? Tom
Tom Held Feb 13, 2012 5:07 PM
Tom, since many local runners travel for marathons, another article that might be interesting are the most inexpensive marathons either within 6-8 hours of the area, or even across the country. I have run Fargo and it's inexpensive and WELL run.
hollyanne99 Feb 14, 2012 10:25 AM
The Green Bay Cellcom was also $75 (at least before the 1st price increase deadline in early January). Madison was initially $65.
mkerunner711 Feb 14, 2012 3:06 PM
Let's keep the Lakefront a secret for as long as we can. It's unbelievable what a value that race is. And its one of the fastest courses nobody knows about. I'm fine keeping it that way.
wisconsinvoter Feb 15, 2012 8:25 PM
Three points:
1) Why don't runners complain about paying $300/per night for hotel with 3-night minimum stay, $400 for plane tickets and another $500 in meals to travel to NYC or Boston, but they complain about an expensive entry fee? Even at $255, the entry fee is probably the least expensive part of the "out of town" marathon experience.
2) Anyone who paid attention in Economics class knows that price is a function of supply and demand. If you have an event that is selling out each year, you raise prices. It's just smart business.
3) While the Lakefront Marathon is a quality event (I have run it 5 times including last year), they are organized by a non-profit and that takes some of the profit motive out of the equation. I am not sure, the NYC Marathon may also be operated by a non-profit, but the Chicago Marathon is owned by a bank and they do an excellent job of squeezing every last penny of revenue out of the runners. And remember, nobody is forced to pay for any of these things. We do so because we work hard and want to spend our money on things we enjoy. For those of us in Milwaukee, a trip to New York City or Boston or even Chicago is a special treat.
It is so tiresome to hear people complain about marathon entry fees. If you don't like it, don't pay it. And if enough people don't pay it, then they will lower prices. It's call free markets and capitalism, and it's a beautiful thing.Runner53185 Feb 16, 2012 4:28 PM
"Complain" isn't the right word. I'm sorry that it is "so tiresome" to you for people to discuss the costs of marathons. Although your description of capitalism is the same one I also learned in 6th grade, running has long, historical traditions that, like many other great institutions, supersedes money. It is fair to rue the change in once historically great runs that were more accessible: of course, demand is also part of it, as you mentioned, but so too is the cultural shift towards large mega events with non-running frills. Like anything historical or sociological, this is fair game for open discussion.
With that in mind, entrance to races need not "raise prices" because you declare it to be "smart business" -- there are other approaches of distributing finite resources that are more directly related to the event itself.
Some races still provide entry mechanisms based on running merit/qualifications, so that a fast/talented/dedicated runner (perhaps a teacher or social worker or student) might have a better shot at getting into a specific race than a person who accumulated more wealth in a fashion completely unrelated (e.g., inheritance) to running, who may only be marginally qualified to attempt the distance anyway. Other races may value fundraising efforts instead. Still others still provide a "first-come, first serve" method of distribution, similar to the way that grocery store and gas station queues work in the same way, rather than providing fastest service to those with the largest bill or those willing to pay the most extra. These alternative mechanisms may be actively chosen by race directors so as to create *their* race with the character they desire, rather than the wealthiest folks. I hope these make sense to you, as the generally egalitarian notion of running is one of the aspects that appeals most to me and many other runners.madcoca Feb 16, 2012 9:03 PM

Running with Bulls is a great Aussie Tempranillo and this vintage is the best to date. I love its fragrance and body, starting with liquorice, spice and florals. While it's quite savoury, it has a core of juicy, fresh fruit. Ripe tannins provide more oomph and good acidity to cut through a rich braise of beef and creamy mash."
