I wanted to respond to a few recent comments:
Most of the GUs or sports gels suggest taking one every 45 minutes. But if my run if 7 miles or under, I usually don't bother. On longer runs, I typically eat every 4 or 5 miles. Some people prefer things like the jelly beans or chomps or shot bloks because you can take just one at a time and eat them every 15 minutes or so. The most important thing is that you test your body. Some people can't stomach GU at all. Do what works for you. I've seen runners eat gummy bears, hard candies, bagels, and even peanut butter & jelly sandwiches while they run. Do not do anything new or different on race day. And for the record, I was clueless about fueling prior to my first half marathon. I ate nothing at all the entire run. I remember feeling so hungry.
Unfortunately there's no magic formula, and the Texas summer is brutal. I spend a lot of hours on treadmills. When I run outside, I never leave without a water bottle, I make sure it's as early as possible, and I don't push the outdoor miles too much. I did race this past summer - Too Hot To Handle 15K and the Hottest Half (click the links to read my reviews). Honestly, they were both miserable. My body does not deal well with the heat. I did write a post that has some tips on dealing with heat HERE. My main tip is never ever run a race in the heat without carrying your own water.
and slightly off-topic from running, but I'll still answer it... ;-)
Yes, I do... http://www.beadgeniecreations.com/ but I don't typically make necklaces like the one in the giveaway unless it's a custom order. I mostly specialize in chainmaille. I do art shows, typically in the fall and spring, although I dropped all my fall shows except one this year in order to train for this marathon!

Wow it has been a long time since I've "blogged". I am not very good at this task... maybe it is because I'm so random in my thoughts and I just can't compose enough information that flows together to get a blog going :) With everyone gone from home but me today I thought I'd sit down and watch a little football! For those of you that know me, you can atest that behind God and my family (including my sweet doggies) FOOTBALL ranks pretty high on my list of enjoyables :) Well today I'm not finding it so enjoyable... Locker is out, Hasselbeck is struggling and the Titans as a team seem so disconnected. Excuse my while I pout :(
Minutes in My MindOn The Receiving End :):)I have always cherished that first moment when a new family meets their puppy for the first time... I am usually on the giving end of that situation but I still just get silly at that first meeting. Well on our way back from vacation this year I decided to stop in and meet a puppy I had watch grow in pictures and really really liked from the first time I saw her... All six of us got out of the Suburban to take a peek at this little girl! That was all it took!... meeting her and seeing what a nice representation of the Biewer breed she was and............. WE BROUGHT HER HOME WITH US!!!! I just love her to pieces. I will post pics of her soon! We call her Millie :):)
She's a jewel...I got a phone call last night from a heartbroken Biewer Mommy in tears. She made a great first impression when I met her and I knew right away that she had nothing but that little guys best interest at heart. Due to her work schedule and things beyond her control she has come to the realization that her being away so much just isn't fair to him. This could be a sad story to tell but instead it brings a smile to my face... She loves him so much that she is allowing him to bless another family of dog lovers that will be able to spend more time with him and already loves him to pieces. Most of the time what is best in a situation takes us down a road we never even knew we'd travel. Kelly...he is incredibly lucky that you came into his life and will continue to be loved and cared for by his new family! BIG HUGS my friend... you have precious heart!... The next time you are in Nashville give me a call and Mercedes and I will join you for another Wrangler sightseeing adventures :):)
!Construction Zone - Hard Hat Needed!So we broke down and build a doggie suite in our home:) My husband has wanted to do this for over a year before one of us (kids included) broke our neck trying get over the baby gate between our family room and the kitchen! So we decided to divide our family room in half (it was HUGE) and use one end of it for the Biewers to have their own room to play in when we weren't watching them and to sleep in. Gasp... I know it is terrible but my other half refuses to have them in the bed with us. On any of the rest of the furniture he doesn't care one bit but not in the bed :(... So now we have our regular living room, a family room, and our Biewer suite/Sewing room! Still trying to get it decorated appropriately but I'm working on it!! Spring is upon us and we are so excited! Love the warm weather in the south! Puppies should be here late May!
The New YearWell I have to say I have met the nicest people while trying to find new homes for our D and E litters! I hope we've made friendships that will endure... Amy, Nelda, Kathy, Kelly, Cindy, and Diana thank you for your interest in Biewers and thank you most of all for choosing to love a Strait Layne Puppy! You could have choosen any other breeder and you trusted me enough to get your new baby from us! Thank you again!
A Really Good Feeling...I had the nicest visit with 2 young ladies tonight. They were sisters and came to spend time with the puppies to see if one of the remaining four would steal their heart. They had done their homework and really knew what questions to ask and had educated themselves about Biewers in general. That is so refreshing to me! They hadn't just rushed to buy the first puppies they found that looked cute in a picture... not real spontaneous... they were able to make an informed decision! They chose Ellie! I love it when I am confident in a family's ability to care for and love a puppy!
Lucy has found her new mommy too and I am so excited for them to actually meet in person! She is such a little spitfire and is so much fun! A precious little girly! Mia has also found her new mommy! She will be going to an established breeder whom I have all the confidence in the world in... and she'll be shown to her fullest potential I know! Thank you ladies for allowing Strait Layne Biewers to be a part of what makes you smile! OH I'M WAY BEHIND!Well as I suppose everyone can tell Josie had her puppies too! They are beautiful with dark saddles and lots of color on their faces. There were born in the wee hours of the next morning after Lacie's were born in the wee morning hours... If that makes any sense at all. I've had lots of calls about the puppies and one has found her new home I'm almost positive. Update soon I promise!
They are all coming into their individual personalities and that is my favorite part! My least favorite part is the potty patrol. But they aren't to messy! Banjo received his 3 orange cards at the IABCA show in Missouri on the 18th-19th so he is now a National Champion. Well he is as soon as I get all the paperwork/fees submitted and receive his title in the mail. I love that little fella so! Anyway, LOTS going on at Strait Layne... not only with Biewers but with the Holidays TOO :)! Until next time...! Lacie's A New Mommy!Lacie has 4 beautiful babies this morning! Love Love Love their coloring! 3 girls and 1 boy... Unfortunately one little boy didn't make it. He struggled from birth and just wasn't strong enough to hold on. Lacie and the 4 remaining puppies are doing well and waiting for their playmates to arrive. Crossing our fingers that everything goes well for Josie also!
OH MY!So the girls went to see the Good Doctor yesterday. In the past we've had 3 litters with a total of 6 puppies over the last 2 years. We were totally shocked when we were told there were a total of 9... yes 9 puppies... just wiggling around and waiting to make their entrance into this world! We were thinking 4 or maybe 5 at the most... Whew... What a shocker? I know what I want for Christmas!!! Volunteers for Puppy Patrol! Both girls are over their pregnancies and ready to get those puppers delivered :)... Me? ... I'm not so sure!
It's Been A WhileThe last month we've been pretty preoccupied with Cavalier Football! That's a good thing though because our "favorite freshmen" is doing great and loving every minute on the field. Josie, Lacie, EZ, and Banjo are all doing well. I have to say that Banjo is just awesome! We are soooooooo please with how he is maturing. He had a couple retained puppy teeth pulled last week and as usual Upper Cumberland Vet Clinic took great care of him! We are keeping our fingers and toes crossed for the upcoming litters. It is still a little early to determine 100% that they are indeed expecting but we are putting our eggs in the "Positive Thinking" basket :) EZ is a man of few words (and we're glad) but he seems to love his new home and we couldn't be happier with him! I promise to do better with the frequency of the blog :) | |

HONOLULU — Sack-happy defensive end J.J. Watt went out for a couple of passes as a wide receiver, retiring center Jeff Saturday snapped to two Mannings on opposite teams and the NFC blew past the AFC 62-35 in a Pro Bowl that could be the league's last.
Whether the NFL's all-star game will return or not is a question league officials will ponder the next few months. And the players gave plenty to consider on both sides of the argument Sunday.
The NFC was unstoppable on offense, with nearly each player putting up fantasy-worthy lines in limited play. The AFC, meanwhile, had five turnovers and scored most of its points well after the game was no longer competitive.
Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph was voted the game's MVP with five catches for 122 yards and a touchdown.
Watt, who had 20½sacks for Houston, lined up as a wide receiver on the AFC's third play from scrimmage, but missed a pass from Denver quarterback Peyton Manning. He was targeted one more time, but didn't make a catch.
He later showed a television camera a bloody left pinkie, joking with NBC telecasters that the players were trying.
"Hey, Commish, we're playing hard," Watt said as he showed his bloodied finger.
Roger Goodell has said the Pro Bowl won't be played again if play didn't improve this year. Last year, fans in Hawaii booed as lineman were clearly not trying. On one play in that game, Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen did a barrel roll to switch positions with a teammate.
If players were coasting this time around, it was less obvious. The AFC just played poorly. And fans didn't boo much — the stands were relatively empty even though the game sold enough tickets to lift a local television blackout. Continued...
Saturday, the Green Bay center retiring at the end of this season, played for both teams though he came representing the NFC. He lined up on one play for the AFC to snap the ball one last time to Manning, his longtime former Colts teammate. Saturday played 13 seasons in Indianapolis, all with Manning — except 2011, when Manning was out with a neck injury. Saturday then played later in the game for the NFC, snapping to Peyton's brother, Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
Even as the NFC piled up touchdowns, the game struggled for memorable moments after Saturday's momentary switch.
In the second quarter, referee Ed Hochuli drew cheers when announcing a pass interference penalty on Denver cornerback Champ Bailey in the second quarter — the first flag of the game.
"Yes, there are penalties in the Pro Bowl," Hochuli said, drawing laughs and loud cheers.
Giants wideout Victor Cruz broke a Pro Bowl record with 10 catches. Tampa Bay receiver Vincent Jackson had 91 yards and two touchdowns. Eli Manning threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns, while Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson had three touchdown passes in the second half.
Cincinnati's A.J. Green had three TD catches for the AFC.
NFL officials said earlier in the week that the league wants to decide the future of the Pro Bowl by the time next season's schedule is released in April.

One of the most memorable things I have done on my travels with Imaginative Traveller is to go on a hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia in Turkey. For me, it was an absolute highlight of my trip, even though the alarm clock had to be set for 4.15am! Trust me, it was well worth it!
Cappadocia really is one of the most bizarre landscapes I have ever seen. It was formed about 40 million years ago when volcanic eruptions covered the area with light rock called tufa. This has been eroded over time to create some wonderfully surreal rock formations, my favourite being the 'fairy chimneys'. What is really cool is that they were previously used as dwellings and you can get lost in the underground tunnels. Not for the claustrophobic! People mostly spend their time wandering through Cappadocia on foot but for me the best perspective was from the air.
We were picked up from the hotel at 4.30am and after registering, we were taken by mini bus to the launch site. I watched in amazement as the massive balloons were inflated. We were split in to two groups and there were 10 people in our balloon's basket, plus the pilot. We had a safety briefing and then were ready to go. I was so excited as I felt our balloon gently lift in to the air - it felt like it was my birthday (I am 30 and still get excited about my birthday)! We could hear a very British voice (the other balloon pilot) on the walkie talkie. He was advising us of the current wind speed and direction. Both balloons went higher in to the sky and we could finally see the vastness of the area below. For well over an hour we would rise and fall in between the rock formations. I loved the sight of other balloons floating around in the air and enjoyed taking numerous photos of the rocks below. I am so glad that I had a digital camera as I am positive I took more than two hundred photos. To be fair, sometimes I can take over a hundred photos on a night out at the pub!
Hot air ballooning is so peaceful. Apart from the roar of the fire from the gas cylinder sporadically being set off to help us rise, it is wonderfully silent. Everyone was lost in the experience and you would occasionally hear some 'wows' and then silence again. Our pilot did an amazing job and brought us back to earth with a very gentle bump.
We got out of the basket and were all given a glass of sparkling wine. This is apparently traditional after your voyage.
I have been told that it is one of the best value commercial hot air balloon flights that you will ever get the opportunity to do, so my advice, do not miss it!

MyLutherNetView tips, tricks and tutorials for using MyLutherNet.
Posted by druth001 on Monday, January 04, 2010 2:19 PM
Thanks to Mary Hess for linking us to a fantastic article from First Monday: Insidious Pedagogy: How course management systems impact learning, by Lisa M. Lane.
Lane writes a superb critique of course management systems (CMSs), such as Blackboard, Moodle, and our very own JICS (i.e. MyLutherNet). Lane's point is not that CMSs are bad, or poorly designed, or even that they should go away. Lane's point is that CMSs are "not pedagogically neutral shells for course content. …Course management systems each contain their own inherent pedagogy, and for most systems these pedagogies are traditional in nature." Lane is not discouraging the use of course management systems; she is encouraging critical engagement of the assumptions that CMSs make.
As faculty work with a particular system, CMS defaults become comfortable and familiar territory… and experience with the CMS over time does not necessarily lead to more creative pedagogy…. Even after several years of working with the CMS, faculty requests for help focus on what the technology can do, rather than how their pedagogical goals can be achieved.
This engagement is one of the things we in Learning Design & Technology (LDT) have been attempting to do over the lifetime of our office. As online courses at Luther Seminary continue to grow in demand, MyLutherNet (JICS) is being used more and more, even by "traditional, face-to-face" courses.
JICS has certain default settings and assumptions for courses, many of which are based on undergraduate needs (the major client of Jenzabar). Notably, the way that JICS is set up is that it groups content by type. It uses 'portlets' to group items so that you have, separately, a handouts portlet, a links portlet, and a forums portlet, where you upload files, link to other webpages, and participate in group discussions, respectively. These are separated functions, built on the idea that "If I have to do [a], I'll go to the [a] portlet; if I need to accomplish [b], I'll click on the [b] portlet."
This type-based architecture is in contrast to a time-based architecture, where everything from files to videos to interactions would be grouped together by week (or day, or semester) rather than by content-type. The content-type way of ordering things isn't inherently bad, it just sets up a method of pedagogy that may not fit the context of a semester-long course, or may be confusing for students trying to go from page-to-page looking for the (1) assigned reading, the (2) video introduction and then (3) the small-group discussion.
Thankfully, MyLutherNet doesn't have to be limiting to pedagogy.
Over the past couple of semesters, LDT has attempted to use MyLutherNet, and the way that it is constructed, to work in the service of pedagogy, not the other way around. We have re-worked the default settings of JICS to better fit our graduate theological context, we have implemented the use of external HTML pages to act as [limited] weekly, time-based content pages, and we always try to begin our conversations with professors with discussions around intended student learning, rather than simply showing off online tools.
What if MyLutherNet was used by residential, face-to-face courses to post online mini-lectures of the course material? Students could watch the videos before coming to class, and class time could be better used for guided discussion or question & answer.
Or, conversely, what if class time was spent really digging into a rich content-based lecture. Students could spend their time taking in-depth notes, and then asking their questions in MyLutherNet (which would give them more time to form thoughtful, engaged questions).
It's not that one of these techniques is better, it's that MyLutherNet is then put in the service of learning, rather than just an under-utilized tool that just seems to get in the way.
We are all aware that MyLutherNet is far from perfect. But if we work together to engage the pedagogical assumptions that MyLutherNet makes, we can work past its shortcomings, getting to a place where learning is maximized and pastoral formation is able to take place.

More About This Product
These slippers are clear with a silver sequin star giving them that glass slipper sparkle. The sole is lined with silver, matching the silver straps. The quality of these shoes is very impressive. They are made of flexible plastic so your little princess won't be clunking around the house in hard-to-walk-in shoes. And to make them fit just right, they come specified sizes. No more "too big" dress up shoes! The straps can be worn behind the heel or over the top of the foot. They are made to fit, but still leave enough room to grow.
Benefits - Why Customers Come Back Over & Over Again to Shop With Us
- Sizes 13-3 Expected Mid 2013
Sizing Guide:
The Princess Shoes are true to street shoe size. However, if your child's foot is wide, we recommend ordering a size larger, your child may need more width in the toe area. Also note that ordering up a size for room to grow is a good option. The straps fit in such a way that if the shoes are a bit long at first, they aren't bothersome and can be worn longer.

Great princess shoes
I love these shoes. My daughter is 4 and loves them. These shoes are good quality and sturdy not like those cheap plastic shoes you get in the stores. I could never find a decent dress up shoe that fits until I found these. They are perfect. They fit great. and I love that the strap can go both ways, behind her foot or in front. They have rubber on the bottom so she won't slip on my floors or scratch my floors. Very different from those cheap plastic shoes that she used to clunk around the house in and get blisters or shoes bites from the cheap plastic. I highly recommend these for every little princess!

I purchased the 3 dress combo for my 3 year old grand daughter Lauren for Christmas. I can not tell you what a big hit everything was. I had to wait to get the slippers because they were on back order, the sales team contacted me the day they could be ordered and I received them right before Christmas. You guys are the absolute Best! I will never shop around for items that you guys carry, the quality and service are excellent. Thanks again.

It's a new year folks, which means it's time for change. No more crappy frozen dinners. No more wasted cash on drive-thrus. And definitely no more pretending just a few Doritos Locos Tacos are enough to satisfy anyone, even if they do make up half of that fancy new variety 12-Pack.
No worries though. Thanks to this DIY Doritos Locos Tacos recipe by Jasmin of 1 Fine Cookie, you won't have to deal with any of those problems ever again.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Here's a wow wine on every level, with incredible intensity and supple softness that builds momentum over many long minutes. A sweet cherry note at the core is surrounded by lush layers of tobacco, dark chocolate and spice, which promise to evolve gracefully over years to come."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Barolo Costa Grimaldi is fabulously rich, dense and well-balanced in this vintage. The Costa Grimaldi is made from a parcel of the Via Nuova vineyard in Barolo at 350 meters above sea level with a sheltered south-east exposure that provides respite in warmer years. This shows tons of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2009 Tignanello is quite beautiful. Cedar, graphite, sweet herbs, licorice and leather add complexity to a core of highly expressive red fruits. The 2009 impresses for its energy, drive and focus There is a silkiness and polish that is reminiscent of the 2004. Tignanello is 75% Sangiovese, 20%..
Cellar/Tasting Notes An elegant Brunello from one of Italy's most prestigious wine regions.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a beautiful wine. Powerful, taut and austere, the 2006 shows all of the qualities that make traditional Brunello compelling. Black cherries, incense, tobacco and grilled herbs wrap around the intense finish ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Flaccianello della Pieve is quite pretty, even if it is a bit buttoned up. It possesses lovely perfume and sweet Pinot-like fruit backed by acidity and structure that are unquestionably those of Sangiovese. Today the 2008 impresses for its energy and verve. It should be a fabulous wine to..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Cannubi sweeps across the palate with layers of dark red fruit, flowers, subtle French oak, mint, licorice and spices. This is an especially pliant, generous 2008 laced with expressive fruit and fabulous overall balance. The south-facing Cannubi yields a juicier more fruit-driven..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Barolo Colonnello is a determined, confident wine with a rich, succulent style and ripe aromas of blackberry, spice, sweet vanilla and polished black stone. The chewy mouthfeel also shows a precise stylistic choice and the colonel is richly opulent and enduring on the finish"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dark-colored, structured, elegant 1998 Barolo Costa Grimaldi offers purity and harmony allied with power, density, and extract. While relatively seamless for such a young Einaudi Barolo, there is plenty of tannin underneath the glycerin and fruit. I suspect it is only a matter of time before..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Cicala is another serious, austere Barolo that is tightly wound at this stage. Here the fruit is darker and more intense than in the Colonnello, while the aromatics tend towards menthol, pine, spices and all things balsamic. Sweet, powerful and layered, the 2006 Cicala finishes..

Easily made it to the peak hiking cross country much of the way from Sample Meadows (after turning back early on a couple of previous attempts). Took a wrong turn right after dark about a mile from camp and wandered around all night covering much of the trail system. It was not cold and there could be many worse ways to spend a night. | ||

cdog | freezing night on Kaiser Date Climbed: Jan 3, 2001 | |
making the most of winter break from college, I met up with my buddies Walt and Roger in Fresno and headed up to Huntington Lake. We had no idea how cold it was going to be, but had a nice start to the climb. Parking at Lakeshore Resort and hiking by the pack station, I found a sledding saucer in the road. I grabbed it, and it would come in handy - because later we learned that we had forgotten the lid to our pot and this was going to help our water heat up. Eventually the temps dropped, and we neared the summit around dusk. We set up our 2-man tent for the 3 of us, and had a rough, cold night on the top of Kaiser. It was approx 20 deg F below zero, with brutal winds that made it seem much colder. Our 3-season tent let in inches of spindrift that night, adding to the adventure. In the morning we ran over to the true summit and got the hell out of there. Unfortunately, my truck radiator had frozen, and it was still below zero at Huntington Lake (~7000'). I overheated going up Tamarack Pass, but luckily we were able to eventually limp it over the hill and had beer and food at Trappers in Shaver. Good times. | ||

Still a bit of snow above 9k, but nothing substantial. Pics here: http://www.fedak.net/albums/KaiserPeak2.html Tried to head down the back side to George Lake, but there was still substantial snow in the canyon and I didn't have my axe/crampons | ||

rhyang | Kaiser Loop trail Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2008 | |
Dayhiked from D&F pack station, then west on the loop trail down past Nellie Lake, through Mary's Meadow and back. 14-15 miles / 3500' gain I would guess. The trail from the pack station was mostly clear up to about 9200', but west of the peak the trail was mostly under snow down to about 8200', making for some fun navigation :) -- Date Climbed: 30-May-2004 Started from Nellie Lake east on Kaiser Loop Trail. North slopes of ridge still had remains of big cornices in places. Excellent views. Saddle above George Lake also had remains of a cornice, but the rock scramble was dry, with some low-angle snow down to College Lake, where a ducked use trail descends to George. Fun little trip. -- Also did it as a short backpack trip in June 2001, starting from D&F, overnighting at Line Creek Lake and returning through Mary's Meadow (etc). | ||

SeanReedy | Fun scrambling! Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2007 | |
I went on a day hike with Juan and the dogs on a weekend camping trip at Sample Meadows campground. This was my first trip to the Sierra National Forest area besides incidentally driving through on trips to Yosemite and SEKI. I will definately be back! We did lots of fun scrambling in the Kaiser Peak area. The next day we parked at Mono Hot Springs and scrambled ESE up to what I discovered was Mono Peak. There was no current trail register up on Mono Peak, but I did come across some faded notes and signatures from the 1930's scribed on metal plates. | ||

Hello, I have read many other peoples posts, but have not found a solution. The unit will fill with water and do everything except spin / agitate. The former W/P service person was pretty much a R&R tech who listenned to what Whirpool said, ordered parts, replaced parts and didn't fix the problem. The control board was replaced, the pump was replaced, the latch mechanism was replaced (I think). The last thing done before the guy gave up was ordering the entire from door assembly. This infamous part was backordered for about 6 months and never received (they finally gave me an offset for another machine - not really a great deal for me since the machine was only 12 months + a week or two old). Is it really possible for it to be the door assembly? It seams odd that if the unit thought the door was not sealed, it would fill with water, etc... Any suggestions? Any one know of any service notices (I tried some of the links but they wear broken) or Service Information? Thanks |

Hi, I ran the unit thru a short cycle and it does everything but move the drum. It fills, pumps out, etc... and unlatches at the end. I also do not hear the motor running so suspect the controller / motor / inverter. As an added bonus, I just pulled the top off again and found the belt lying in the bottom of the unit. I suspect the last person who worked on it left it there - although I can't imagine why if they thought it was the door latch. I'll install the belt and run it again tomorrow although I did not hear the motor trying to operate so I'm not holdin my breath. |

Thanks for the parts diagram. I replied to another post with some additional information. It there an easy way to test if it's the motor / inverter / logic board? I imagine I can test the motor for continuity but am not sure where to look for the drive signal into the inverter or what it should be. |

Whirlpool just stuck their name on that POS, they don't build it. They do have a known defect in the door design that caused the issue you describe. The fix is a new door assembly. They have probably exhausted the supply of replacement parts, and just want the units to go away. ____________________ " Giving numerical data to Sears management is like giving a monkey a machine gun.

Poll: Are Schools Doing Enough to Stop Hazing, Bullying?
Three plaintiffs were added to a lawsuit against Maine West High School that alleges coaches condoned hazing.
A lawsuit against Maine West High School alleges that students were hazed and bullied, sometimes at the behest of coaches of some athletic teams.
A police investigation into a hazing incident this year led to charges against six students. During a "campus run" the boy's teammates grabbed him, according to the lawsuit, tore off his underwear, held him down so he could not resist, grabbed his testicles and sodomized him with their fingers and other foreign objects.
Des Plaines police told the Chicago Sun-Times that they sought felony charges in the case, but Cook County prosecutors disagreed. Prosecutors said there was not enough evidence for the more serious charges and settled on misdemeanors, the Sun-Times reported.
Since that initial accusation, three other families have joined the lawsuit. Some of the allegations date back to 2008. Documents associated with the case, including the lawsuit, are attached to this post.
Although Maine West has been in headlines recently, hazing and bullying is nothing new at high schools. Township High School District 211 canceled a basketball game this week because of a hazing investigation involving the Hoffman Estates boys varsity basketball team.
"Frequent misconceptions about hazing include the idea that hazing is nothing more than harmless pranks and that it is a practice largely isolated to college fraternities," the website StopHazing.org states.
The website also gives tips on how to change a hazing culture and barriers to changing that culture.

Physical Education is important. Yet sports are not. Too many students have life time injures from Athletic activity. Yet physical education gives strength to the student with a focus on protecting the student from life time injury. Schools spent 10s of millions of dollars on Sports wastefully. Highland Park/Deerfield District 113 High School took a survey of the community. The community gave High importance to Education and Physical Education. Sports were not considered necessary for a student's development. It is considered by the community as nice to have. Now you are proving this with behavior of some coaches
8:25 am on Sunday, December 2, 2012
Personally I think the problem is on the use of the terms "hazing" and "bullying." Hazing and bullying have the connotation to many of bad but essentially harmless acts as is discussed in the article. This sort of stuff is neither. These boys were not "hazed"; they were sexually assaulted / gang raped. Its disgusting, and those involved should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Lets use the right (albeit more frightening) terms for these horrible acts and perhaps we will see actual reduction in the number of instances.
1:15 pm on Sunday, December 2, 2012
To your point.
To the question is enough being done? No. Our culture & institutions dances around bad behavior behind the fear of being sued. People and schools don't get sued for encouraging mutual respect toward others. Our community is at fault, just as much as schools are. We shrink from telling others they are disrespectful to others, and create a standard, bullying, that is unclear at best, and a diversion from the truth; a lack of basic mutual respect for others, from others.

The gym teacher told him to run anyways and when my son came home he could barely move so I took him to the Illinois bone and joint and after testing it was found he had a slight back fracture due to the pounding of the running and him still trying to grow. My son was in a back brace for 6 weeks and had to go for physical therapy. When I confronted the gym teacher he naturally denied all of what happened but I complained as high up as I could.

I agree with Ronnie. This was not hazing, it was sexual assault. These students who particpated in this should be punished to the max. What are the coaches doing about this? Not much of anything, which makes me believe that they are just as sick minded as the students who performed these acts! I know that when you are on a sports team, the team all sticks together, but I can't believe that if this was done out in the open on a run, that other teamates wouldn't have tried to put a stop to this. So much for protecting one of their own! Feel sorry for the parents of these students.

I think these gym teacher don't listen to what a student is saying and they push push and push to hard! Sometimes it is not healthy and good for a student. Kids are still growing and as far as jogging goes I believe its not healthy to run......me being a jogger and what it has done to me......so maybe these gym teachers need a refreshers course on how to listen to what a student is saying before you push them!! Also the case above should be sexual assault and it should not be a misdeamnor!!!

I know people from some years ago. That have had back injures from sports. In fact one had 3 back operation for sports in his youth. As schools let's focus on physical education. Sports do not belong in secondary education. It's not healthy as well as too expensive. In Highland Park High School additional parking was built with an empty parking area across the street. Public school should focus on education. Tax dollars are wasted in public education not only in sports.

Not only does it cause injuries but the students at kept late when a tournamant is going on so they don't get home until 8-9 at night. They are so exhausted and can't focus on homework because they are too tired.
10:31 am on Sunday, December 2, 2012
Let's see...the coaches employed by the school are accused of condoning the behavior. Do we really need to look further than the school to find fault? They are the party who placed the youngsters in the hands of the coaches. I hope the 3 plaintiffs win this case and it is serves as a warning to all educational institutions that this behavior will not be tolerated. The coaches need to lose their teaching credentials and be placed in a national database so that no other school hires them. Infact...they should all have to pay a personal financial penalty and do community service for no less than one year wearing a sign that states " I abuse children".
1:19 pm on Sunday, December 2, 2012
I think its more than punishing some coaches.
To the question is enough being done? No. Our culture & institutions dances around bad behavior behind the fear of being sued. People and schools don't get sued for encouraging mutual respect toward others. Our community is at fault, just as much as schools are. We shrink from telling others they are disrespectful to others, and create a standard, bullying, that is unclear at best, and a diversion from the truth; a lack of basic mutual respect for others, from others.
10:38 am on Sunday, December 2, 2012
I'm all for punishing the people involved in this but I sure hope that all information is 100% correct in this because a lot of people's lives ae at stake for being ruined. The thought of making a large amount off this unfortunate and terrible incident can bring a lot of money hungry people out of the closets as well to lie or embellish stories, which to me is just as wrong as the the initial claims . To anyone who is complaining about the amount of time your children have to practice for their sport they choose to participate in , it's just that its a choice your child does not have to be involved in sports all kids know that going into any kind if sport that just like there classes in school they have to put hard work into what they r doing to do well . So if u don't want them to be involved in a sport then don't let them join there are plenty other activities at the high schools that they can join .

Let us not forget that a parent has a role in his child's schooling too. Keeping open communication lines with them is invaluable. These kinds of things should not be allowed to happen. Peer pressure sucks but maybe one of the kids could have warned the parents early on and these fools could have been fired. Remember it was other kids that are actually doing the hazing. They should have known better too.Talk to your kids. Surely someone knew about this long before,years before the lawsuit lottery started. The kids who took part should be getting sued right along with the scumbags who allowed it to continue.

Yet another reason to dismantle the industrial educational complex in this country run by union thugs and left-wing socialists. A system burdened with top-heavy administration, out-of-control salaries and pensions, social re-engineering agenda and systematic sexual assault and battery to top it off. All of this to produce the dumbest generation of Americans ever and the lowest performing of the industrialized world and some third world nations. Then these so-called "teachers" have the audacity and the temerity, no less than the brazen cojones, to ask for more money and less work time at the expense of children. I personally think we need to go back to the basics, to the same basics that created previous generations that went to space and the moon in washing machines, won WWII and the Cold War and gave us the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Gettysburg Address. I don't fault teachers, I fault the complex and it's administration for brainwashing teachers and in turn their students. As I've said in the past we have enough nuclear weapons (thanks to previous generations) to keep the barbarian horde at bay while we scrap the complex and start over. By the way, I'm a brown-skinned first generation American who grew up in a Spanish speaking dirt poor household in Chicago. I'm a republican but voted for Obama twice, second time it took me five minutes starring at the ballot to do it. I mention this cause the first thing the libs say is, "racist white red neck" to counter

I'm not advocating one room school houses, but the education I had was from those elders who were most likely came from those generations. Wise, tough people.
It's funny that you hear all these opinions expressed blindly from keyboards. Get out people and speak up in person. I attend my village meetings and definitely express mine, the old fashioned way. In person has way more of an impact than whining in a forum. It gets you nowhere.

Predatory sexual assault is a crime; twisted deviant behavior whether done by students, teachers or promoted/encouraged by any of the above. There have been numerous reports of abuse from those in power, whether it be coaches, teachers, scout leaders, ministers, priests, 'trusted' adults, neighbors. To link this with 'union thugs and left wing socialists' is beyond absurd. Children need protection from those who wish to harm them, whether at school or in the community. The school system's primary purpose beyond education is to keep the child safe. Some schools do a better job than others in dealing with bullying, hazing and promoting respect and tolerance. While teachers also need to be protected from false allegations made by disgruntled students; every allegation must be investigated. The atmosphere of the school must be focused on respect for all.

You're the weak one. It is a sign of weakness to be too afraid of one's own emotions, or to ridicule others for having emotions. Sad...
3:05 pm on Sunday, December 2, 2012
No our schools do not allow parents to contact other parents whose children are doing the bulling.. These school administrators who are bullies themselves think thye know how to handle the situation better than parents do...They want to turn our children into passive nitwits who cannot think for themselves or handle a problem themselves. Its called mind control..I once told a child who gave my son the finger that I wanted to speak to his Mother..The school went wild that I had spoken to a child..He was 10 years old..not 2. if your old enough to give the finger then your old enough to face the music. The school wants parents to think that the school is the end all. That we cannot live without these overpaid, bottom 20% of the college graduating class scores mental lightweights. I totlly blame the schools for the problems they have created. They are the worst influence on society and we really need to cut their wings and we as parents need to unite and pledge to handle matters between us.
7:59 pm on Tuesday, December 4, 2012
@ Cynthia.
Minor correction in your comment above. Schools cannot prevent communication between parents. The school may not provide the name of a student to an inquiring parent, but that is a matter of confidentiality about a student, not a parent.
The remainder of your comment is closer to banter and not really specific enough to warrant much from a reader. Nice try at banter though.
3:09 pm on Sunday, December 2, 2012
When we don't allow our children to face issues themselves we take away their self respect and confidence. We are here to guide them and teach them not to do the talking for them..I had confidence when I was young so there would have been no way that a preditor would have tlaked me into anything. But my parents encouraged me to solve my own problems..They didn't do it for me. And the school taught..they did not parent..

A high school in Appleton, Wisconsin tried an experiment under the enlightened guidance of their principal, LuAnn Coenen. She wanted to see if she could positively affect the fighting, weapons-carrying and general lack of focus and discipline in the school by changing the food the kids ate.
Vending machines were replaced with water coolers; hamburgers and French fries were taken off the menu and replaced with fresh vegetables and fruit, whole grain breads and a salad bar. With the departure of junk food, she also saw the departure of vandalism, litter and the need for police patrolling her hallways. The students were calm, socially engaged and focused on their schoolwork. Problems were minimal. And all Ms. Coenen did was change the menu!
Please watch "Forks Over Knives" for FREE to learn more about the implications of a meat-based diet vs a plant-based diet. Go to http://www.hulu.com/watch/279734 and do yourself and your family a favor!
Dr. Antonia Demas conducted a pilot program for youthful offenders at Bay Point School, a controlled residence for select male juvenile delinquents. Incorporating the principles of her curriculum, Demas' results were astounding: Grade point averages increased, athletic performance and strength improved, aggressive behavior declined, acne cleared, excess weight came down, and every single one of the participants reported general improvements in well-being. http://foodstudies.org/
6:10 pm on Sunday, December 2, 2012
That same menu will change the behavior of the teachers too..My goodness what bad nutrition they have and thye eat in the class rooms like slobs too..They don't wash their hands before and after eating..have the kids sitting on the floor and eating..They need the education on how to behave first. By the way did you know that 50% of children in juvenile detention are children with specail needs who were never diagnosed by the school or witheld services from the school? Oh yes, our schools are the worst for society..They are getting paid 10 times more than any other country per child and 50% per cent more than the leading countries in comphensation and they can't even ensure children eat right while in school.
12:31 pm on Monday, December 3, 2012
Wait...so it's the teacher's fault? Most of your post is moronic, so let me address your facts.
1.) In Finland, teaching is the most respected of occupations. The starting pay for their teachers is 15% higher than the US and 33% towards end-of-career.
2.) US teacher starting salary is 13% lower that all other countries combined (according to the OECD) and 27% lower at end-of-career.
3.) The reason students in need of IEP aren't "diagnosed" by the school is that schools cannot "diagnose". They recommend that parents seek a diagnosis. If the district insists on a "diagnosis", they become financially responsible for the result. Districts avoid it for cost. Teachers beg for it daily.
3.) When did it become the school's responsibility to feed children?

People in the United States are becoming increasingly irresponsible, uncivilized, ungovernable and barbaric - at ALL social levels and classes, rich and poor alike.

I had to scroll all the way to the bottom to finally find a comment I agree with, Procrustes Foil -- and btw, you hit the nail on the head. Just reading all the prior comments makes me cringe. People are far too willing to pass the blame down the line -- especially parents. Let's blame the coaches, no, let's blame the school administrators, no wait -- let's blame their fellow students and peer pressure. Why aren't parents teaching their kids that actions have consequences, and that they(the kids) are solely accountable for their own actions? It's an important lesson, but this generation more so than others in the past, has unfortunately been saddled with parents who are no longer teaching them how to be respectful, how to have integrity and honor, and most importantly -- how to be honest and responsible. If anything good should come from this, this tragedy should be embraced by the community as a teachable moment. It's high time parents teach their kids to be discerning and respectful, and that includes teaching them the importance of treating others the way they'd like to be treated.
6:48 am on Monday, December 3, 2012
Organized school sports are not the evil in our world, stop blaming sports for every bad thing that happens within a school. The crime that occurred at Maine West was done by a group of thugs and should be punished as such. If school employees knew of this crime and did nothing they also should be jailed. This incident is different than the widespread problem of children/adults who believe they can act in any way they want. My parents did not have a lot of money but were highly thought of because they treated others respectively, they listened and discussed opposing viewpoints without rancor. They held various town govt. jobs, elected political positions and many volunteer hats. My siblings and I were involved in sports, music and other various school and civic activities. We weren't angels and there were a few scrapes with the police & stupid teenage behavior but there was a line we didn't cross. That line seems to have disappeared.
7:49 am on Monday, December 3, 2012
thugs? crime/ look up definition of hazing. as was said earlier perhaps they wanted to be part of the group . Knew there was to be initiation to become member and after changed minds.
8:41 am on Monday, December 3, 2012
Lucas, the definition of hazing includes the words strenuous, dangerous activity that recruits are forced to do. It does not specify that criminal behavior, as in sexual harassment or abuse, is a necessary component. My teen has participated in "hazing" to join a sports team...it involved embarrassing acts (singing in the cafeteria), polishing the bleachers and other stupid things. Again, people seem to have lost the ability to differentiate between harmful, cruel behavior (as in the criminal behavior at MW) and moronic behavior. At this point we the public do not know the details of the Maine West incident. I hope the victims receive counseling and as much help as possible. The parents took a courageous step in going public. As parents we need to teach our kids that evil things exist in this world and they should not harm others either personally or by witnessing it AND that they do not have to be a victim themselves (in order to join a peer group, team, etc).
9:00 am on Monday, December 3, 2012
Molly the definition also includes word initiation. Nothing says what those involved knew before this happened. Not defending anyone but both sides should be heard from
Mary Beth
12:48 pm on Monday, December 3, 2012
Lots of opinions as to who is at fault. The single concept of Respect seems to be the common denominator, or rather the lack of it-in our society as a whole which then trickles down into every aspect of daily life. As parents/adults we may teach respect at home, but also need to role model that behavior in daily actions-in interactions with family, neighbors, co-workers, drivers, clerks, others in the community. Flying off the handle, shouting obscenities, name-calling to others who irritate us demonstrates that it is OK to disrespect those who make us angry. The prevalence of violence in entertainment blurs the line between reality & fantasy. While teaching & demonstrating respect at home, we ultimately must demand not only respect at school, but safety with investigation into each incident. Every child should be taught to defend himself, not provoke; however an assault of 6:1 is gang rape-no amount of 'manning up' would have helped. No kid should ever have to deal with that. Some schools have better preventative programs, such as Iroquois Comm School (elementary). MW should look into it. Jim Corcoran cites interesting studies, however, changing the menu does not impact what kids bring to school or buy on the way. I do believe nutrition impacts behavior, however, as the mom of 4 teens, getting them to eat what you serve is an entirely different story. Kids are very resourceful. Complex issues, but ultimately the school is responsible for keeping kids safe.

Lucas...I'm the biggest shade of grey kind of person there is. Drives my husband crazy. You are correct in that we don't know what the "recruits" expected or was told would happen. We also don't know if this was a pre-planned act. I can't imagine any teen would willingly submit themselves to such behavior or acts. I also can't imagine that teens would plan to treat someone in such a way. Whether we ever hear both sides or not, everyone should understand that things like this are wrong. Wrong to do, wrong to witness and that it's ok NOT to go along with a group when it's wrong. I was once with a group of moms who were gossiping about some "slutty" girls who had made out with some boys at a party. When I brought up the fact that making out takes two to tango, and why weren't the boys considered to be slutty, I was stared at like I had two heads. I bring this up only because we (society/media) are quick to judge and assume. Yes, we should learn as much as we can before we pass judgement.

Wasn't there a young girl from Highland Park who left a concert, couldn't get back in and "befriended" a group of boys/men who ended up gang raping her? Bree do you think she learned her lesson? You think she should have or could have fought these men off. Speaking from experience, it's harder than you think when you are outweighed and or outnumbered. A child against six assailants or 1 child against 1 adult, odds aren't good. The more I read these posts the angrier I get. At what point do we become people that protect children instead of people our children need protection from.

@ Mary Beth I personally feel very bad for your kids, if you do have any. I actually am speaking from experience as I fought my way through life to the top and I look down over every one because of it. You fight off six kids by training harder, working harder, out smarting, and surrounding your self with friends who have your back at all times. The lessons learned were be tougher, train harder, and keep your friends close but your enemies closer. I pity your soft, weak, advice that only losers should listen to and use. Let the kids fight it out like the good ole days. Your a weak human being, that thinks a little bullying and taunting is a bad thing. You call a kid fat these days and he cries, and the kid gets suspended for a day. Society is weak and people wonder why America is falling. The answer is because of people like you MARY BETH.
1:50 am on Tuesday, December 4, 2012
I know you are just trying to sound better than others, but really? How on earth do you compare some taunting with being sodomized? Yes, some situations call for kids to work things out, but this isn't one of them. Getting called fat or made fun of should/could be taken care of by kids...getting raped is something altogether different. Don't marginalize what happened because it was a guy....it's still rape and still all sorts of wrong.
The parents of these assailants messed up somewhere down the line. It shouldn't have to always fall on the schools, but this macho mentality needs to have a line somewhere. No one should be raped in school....ever. This isn't even about bullies in the strict sense. It is about teammates. It's just sick that you are basically saying the sodomizing was ok, the victim should just get a posse to fight or do it right back.
Mary Beth
1:03 pm on Tuesday, December 4, 2012
It is apparent that your own personal demons have not been successfully dealt with, Bree, and for that, I am sorry. That does not diminish the fact that children, (and yes, HS students are still children) need to be protected from criminal sexual assault. It is the duty and responsibility of adults to insure their safety. To equate childish name calling with sodomy is naive and supercilious. Childhood traumas, as your own skewed version of reality demonstrates, have far reaching ramifications. As far as my own 4 teens, they have neither been the victims of such heinous crimes, nor have they assaulted anyone, but to their credit have often acted not only in their own defense but in the defense of others. By your own assertion, we should create a Columbine-like atmosphere-with posses roaming the halls to watch your back. Why not weapons to really insure protection? And any of those 'weak' kids-small, frail, special needs, physically or emotionally challenged, those that can't or won't fight back? I guess in your eyes they should just be picked off, as they are a drain on society, 'losers', fair game. I think for one, you've been watching too many movies-train harder to take on 6 kids; and two, you seem confused and unable to differentiate between name calling and criminal assault! Frightening.

@ Bree Olson.
Your vulgar evolutionary approach to human interaction sounds more like paranoia than wisdom. More like the law of the jungle. Good ole days, do you mean the similar to gang bangers and bar thugs, again law of the jungle. Is that how you raised your kids? Forget the college fund, just find a good criminal attorney.

"The hazing ritual was ordered and witnessed by several coaches, according to the complaint, when, on Sept. 27, Michael Divencenzo, varsity soccer coach, Emilio Rodriguez, freshmen soccer coach, and other coaches ordered a "campus run" after the freshman soccer player was promoted to the varsity squad.
During the "campus run" the boy's teammates grabbed him, according to the complaint, tore off his underwear, held him down so he could not resist, grabbed his testicles and sodomized him with their fingers and other foreign objects"
This is systematic rape and sexual assault and not any hazing that I was ever aware of in the schools I attended. These children ARE fighting back and they're better than the rapists and the system that allowed the GANG rape.

If the complaint is found to be true. I assume charges will be made against the Coaches and they will be going to jail.

I can't believe how many people think this is normal behavior. First of all this is rape by obvious homosexuals. I don't know about the other guys here but forcing another guy down and grabbing his testicles and forcing fingers into his anus is not only extremely gay but also rape. How any of you can say that kids today whine too much blows me away. Add to all this is the fact that the coach witnessed and or directed it. This all comes down to crap parenting which is also the reason why we have seen other tragedies unfold recently at our schools. You all are gross and part of a larger problem.
