When we go back to Costa Rica, this is the agency we'll use.September 19, 2014 at 8:11pm
I am very happy with Costa Rican Vacations. This was the first time I tried them and they did a great job. I had an issue with one of the hotels I was staying at and within two hours of me sending them an email about the issue they had everything straightened out so I was able to enjoy the rest of my vacation with them. I will definitely use them the next time I go to Costa Rica. ... MoreSeptember 16, 2014 at 3:07pm

I am very pleased and impressed with the professionalism, care and patience I experienced in dealing with Cost Rica Vacation's Solson Scherman and his contacts in Costa Rica. All were very reliable and eager to help us have the vacation of our lives. Solson was patient with our decision making process and very flexible and knowledgeable. Zip lining in Quepos, the Costa Verde Hotel's animal population and visiting the Springs Resort will all be great memories and inspirations to return to beautiful Costa Rica. It was clear that this company is highly regarded in Costa Rica and all of the people we encountered served us well and with pleasure. ... MoreSeptember 03, 2014 at 3:50pm

My wife and I were planning our "once-in-a-lifetime" vacation...our 35th wedding anniversary! I wanted it to be perfect, knowing that "perfect" is an unattainable goal. Well, that's what I thought, anyway. I did a substantial amount of internet research, trying to figure out the best way to plan this very important trip. Once we decided on Costa Rica, everything kept coming back to Costa Rica Vacations. I had never used a "Travel Agency" before. However, with the importance of this particular trip, I wanted nothing left to chance. To say that I am happy that I assisted Mark Fitzpatrick of CRV plan our vacation (Yes...I assisted HIM. He did all the work!), would be an understatement. From our very first contact to the very end, he was with us all the way. Though he wasn't with us physically, he was still there and we knew it. Perhaps the single greatest concern about travel in a foreign country is safety. Knowing that Mark was with us alleviated even those concerns. Every single detail, question and concern that we had was addressed. From the moment we touched down at the airport in Costa Rica to the moment we departed every single need was met and/or exceeded. There was no "last minute" anything. Our drivers were right where they needed to be, when they need to be. Everywhere we went we were greeted kindly and with a sense of, "We were expecting you." Every excursion we went on was well-planned and executed. There was one event that we had planned that I was absolutely NOT looking forward to. I have an extreme fear of heights and zip-lining was a planned sacrifice that I was willing to make for my fearless wife. As it turned out, I wasted a lot of time living in unnecessary anxiety in anticipation of this event. From the moment we arrived at Sky Adventures there was a sense of professionalism and, most importantly, safety. The staff and equipment were outstanding. They instilled an unbelievable sense of comfort and confidence in me. So much so that I absolutely enjoyed every single moment...beginning to end. Trust me...for me to be able to say that, with my absolute fear of heights, is incredibly amazing in itself. Not only did I enjoy the amazing scenery WHILE zip-lining (yes...I actually had my eyes open), I hated to see it end and would do it all again...and again! And get this...because this tour was booked by Costa Rica Vacations, they were REQUIRED to add an additional safety harness to us, and us alone. Yes, CRV cares! In summary, the staff, the platforms and the equipment left nothing at all to be concerned about. So if you are one like me who would avoid such an exciting adventure due to a fear of heights...do NOT deny yourself this incredible experience. We absolutely enjoyed our most-relaxing stay at the Westin resorts, and would recommend it without hesitation, however Tabacon is THE place. If there is a paradise on earth, here it is! I know there are MANY other resorts that I obviously have no first-hand knowledge of, but I cannot imagine anyplace that can compare to the Tabacon and it's amazing hot-springs and landscape. This was a recommendation given by Mark and he could not have made a better one. Had it not been for Mark at CRV, this wonderment would have been lost to us. I can honestly say that anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica who doesn't use the services of Costa Rica Vacations is, well...taking a foolish gamble. Thank you Mark. Thank you! Thank you! Our 35th anniversary celebration is now filled with a life-time of memories thanks to you and CRV!... MoreAugust 31, 2014 at 3:39am

Mark Fitzpatrick We plan to. :DSeptember 01, 2014 at 5:55pm
We just returned from a nine day trip to Costa Rica. Thanks to Rebecca Anderson for helping us plan the best vacation we have ever been on. We gave her a budget and a couple of ideas and she did the rest. Everything she chose was amazing. We were greeted at the airport and guided through customs and baggage claim to our waiting shuttle van that took us to our first of two resorts. We stayed first at The Springs Resort and Spa -- Arenal, Costa Rica. This was the nicest resort I have ever stayed at. The view of the volcano from our three bedroom suite was amazing. During our stay in Arenal, Rebecca set us up to go zip-lining, canyoneering and white water rafting. On the fifth day, Rebecca set us up with Desafio Adventure Company - adventure connection to white water raft then transfer to Manuel Antonio and stayed at the Arenas del Mar Beach and Nature Resort. Our driver even stopped out side of Jaco to show us the river full of crocodiles. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and Manuel Antonio National Park. Rebecca set us up with a great fishing charter to go inshore fishing and a guide to take us through the Manuel Antonio National Park. All the excursions and both resorts were top-notch. All the transportation was very clean and on time. Costa Rica is a beautiful country filled with wonderful people. I will definitely be planning another trip with Rebecca Anderson and Costa Rican Vacations to see other parts of Costa Rica. Pura Vida!... MoreAugust 30, 2014 at 4:03am

Two years ago, I was looking into a weekend trip for my son and I to go on after his high school graduation. By chance I stumbled on to this website Costa Rican Vacations and I called. It happened to be my lucky day! A young lady named Robin Sabine answered and the rest is history. She set my son and I up on the most amazing three-day trip we ever had. From the transfer to the hotel to the surf lessons, the ATV trip, and the zip line Hot Springs and horseback riding everything was first class! From the first day we arrived I said to my son this place is so beautiful I can't wait to take mom and your sisters here someday. Fast forward to this year we needed a great trip for our one week summer vacation and who do I call but Robin again. My expectations were high but once again Robin exceeded them times 10. Both trips she set us up at an amazing boutique hotel in Tamarindo called the Capitian Suizo. Once we arrived it was so great to see some of the same people at the hotel and most of them remembered my son and I. The town was just walking distance away, the restaurants were amazing, and they even had a little casino and we all played roulette. Every excursion she set us up with was top-notch, clean transportation, and always very knowledgeable guides. The second day after we arrived we went on a catamaran snorkel cruise. This was such a special day because on the ride home while the sun was setting we saw three humpback whale's. I could sit here and write a book about how great this trip was, and how I can't wait to get back. But all of you reading this are going to need to experience it for you yourselves and your families. Call Robin Sabine and she will help you to the best of her ability. Thanks Robin!!!!! ... MoreAugust 25, 2014 at 5:21pm

More Than Motorcycle Batteries...Your Complete Battery & Charger Store!
Recharging Your Inner Battery
February 4, 2014
This past weekend marks the 2nd anniversary of my grandfather's passing. I was unable to make it back for the funeral as I was on the other side of the continent and there was a snowstorm blowing over the region. Interestingly enough the storms were blowing again this weekend as my thoughts drifted to the scorn of death.
For many, death is viewed as the end of the line. It is just the inevitable facet of the circle of life. Dust to dust…so they say. Others believe your soul lives on and how you choose to live now determines how it [your soul] will live for eternity. The two views are in stark contrast with each other and have generated heated debate over the centuries. Continue reading(1 Comment)

October 7, 2013
Buy MotoBatt Batteries for your Gold Wing!
The Motobatt MBTX20U has been featured in the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) magazine, Wing World. The feature article titled, Wired Up, lists some 'must have' and useful electrical devices and accessories for all Gold Wing motorcycle owners. But when it was all said and done, the editors listed the MotoBatt MBTX20U (actually the MBTX20UHD which is the black version of the standard yellow colored MBTX20U battery) as a "complete...solid battery, [that] is the heart of your Gold Wing's electrical system." They went on to compliment the brand saying, "It has more than enough power to get the job done" when speaking of the batteries 310 cold cranking amps (CCA) and 21 amp hour capacity (AH).
There is More Than Just The MBTX20UHD
We agree, MotoBatt should be at the center of every bikes electrical system, not just the Honda Gold Wing!

The MB51814 BMW Battery Saga
September 18, 2013
Long Story Made Short
BMW motorcycle enthusiasts that desire the best for their bike understandably purchased the MotoBatt MB51814 sealed AGM Quadflex battery. Over the past couple seasons, however, they were often left frustrated and discouraged. You see MotoBatt made an error in sizing the MB51814 which replaces the Yuasa 51913 and 51814 conventional batteries. BMW owners that had ABS and required the 51913 battery discovered that the MB51814 was a hair to wide and a smidgen to long. Those that originally required the 51814 conventional batteries (generally the bikes without ABS) seemed to have no issues. Under closer inspection it was determined the OEM 51913 had a slight taper to it making the bottom narrower. MotoBatt did not catch this distinction when they first went into production.
The Long Way Round
It took Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy of Star Wars and Charley Boorman who appeared in The Serpent's Kiss and Hope & Glory, 4 months to travel 19,000 miles on their 2004 BMW R1150GS during the filming of Long Way Round. They showed patience and perseverance as the challenges and hardships stacked up in front of them. In the same way, it took MotoBatt a while to compile the data and redesign the internals of the battery, but they finally did so in late in 2012 and its new case is perfect. To date we have had zero calls regarding fitment issues with these new slimmer batteries. Patience and perseverance was essential. BTW: the BMW R1150GS uses the MB51814 replacement battery.
The New & Improved MB51814 BMW Replacement Battery
Look at the side-by-side comparison below to see the OEM specs and the new measurements for the MB51814. MotoBatt accounted for the taper and made the battery slimmer. Also note the 15% increase in amp hour (Ah) which is very important for BMW riders with all the electronic equipment on board. The cold cranking amps (CCA) also increased by 15% to 120% depending on which numbers were used for calculation. Typically if you increase Ah you need to decrease CCA and to increase CCA you need to decrease Ah. As you can see, the advanced AGM MotoBatt MB51814 has managed to increase both numbers. The QuadFlex terminal design is brilliant as it allows for a second set of terminals to attach all your accessories without overloading the primary set. This greatly reduces accidental discharging of batteries from loose connections.
Yuasa 51913
- 7.32 x 3.23 x 6.73 (186 x 82 x 171)
- 19 Ah
- 100 or 190 CCA (we have found mixed info from the OEM)
MotoBatt MB51814
- 7.20 x 3.15 x 6.69 (183 x 80 x 170)
- 22 Ah
- 220 CCA (use to be 260 CCA)
Another Win for PulseTech and The XC100-P Xtreme Charger
August 17, 2013
As many of you know, we like to share stories regarding how products we have suggested and sell, IMPACT our customers day-to-day living. Today's story comes from a farmer in Marion, IN who, no less than a week ago, purchased the PulseTech XC100-P. This is a 12 volt 2.5 amp Xtreme Pulse Charger.
Frank's XC100-P Experience
As with many do-it-your-selfers, Frank has been around the block a few times and knows a thing or two about batteries...and cars, tractors, corn, futures, growing degree days, etc. He had heard about Chris's story involving his dying BobCat batteries and how the XC100-P changed everything. Understandably, Frank wanted to know if these "desulfanators" would work in his situation. And knowing their excellent track record, I of course, quickly replied "I have no doubt."
Frank, like many mid-west farmers, collects and restores old John Deere tractors and has a modern army of tractors and farm equipment. Of course not every tractor can be used every day or even regularly for that matter. Which, luckily for us, creates the foundation for our story. Continue reading(2 Comments)

Dynamic Smagorinsky model on anisotropic grids
ABSTRACT: To examine the performance of the dynamic Smagorinsky model in a controlled fashion on anisotropic grids, simulations of forced isotropic turbulence are performed using highly anisotropic discretizations. The resulting model coefficients are compared with an earlier prediction. Two extreme cases are considered: pancake-like grids, for which two directions are poorly resolved compared to the third, and pencil-like grids, where one direction is poorly resolved when compared to the other two.

The criminal justice system has evolved greatly in recent years. Those making a career in the field must demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the profession. Criminal Justice students explore psychology, criminal behavior, social systems and ethics. They are preparing for careers as investigative officials in police departments, prosecutor's offices, courts, corrections facilities, private sector forces, and the military.
The curriculums offered in the Criminal Justice program are taught by instructors who have a solid understanding of the theory and practice a person needs to work in the field. Faculty members have had previous experience in criminal justice, bringing a valuable, real-world component to the learning environment. These industry professionals assist students in deciphering patterns of human behavior, teach legal and ethical responsibilities, and explain how data on crime and prevention is collected and reported.
Students take part in hands-on, technology-enhanced interactive simulations and field tours of local facilities. These extracurriculars - as well as on-the-job Service Learning - allow students to experience real-world applications of theories and concepts. Practicing criminal justice professionals also work with students to conduct mock exercises or recruitment campaigns.
Learn more about our degree program and let us know how we can help you achieve your academic and professional goals.

Fergus Cullen: For casino backers, any argument will do
So it is with the casino lobby in New Hampshire. No matter what your problem, expanded gambling is the product for you.
When Pease Air Force Base closed in the early 1990s, the gambling lobby suggested a casino in Newington could fill the void. When the feds cut Medicaid enhancement funds a few years later, video gaming would plug the Mediscam budget hole.
Never let a crisis go to waste. For backers of casino gambling, any argument will do.
When the state moved toward universal mandatory kindergarten, allowing video poker at dying dog tracks in Belmont, Seabrook and Hinsdale could pay for it. After the Claremont court decision in 1997, then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen backed "slots for tots" as a means of increasing state aid for education.
A decade ago, one gambling plan earmarked revenue to fund prescription drugs for seniors. With unemployment high during the ongoing recession, longtime pro-casino state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro called his gambling bill a jobs bill.
Now Gov. Maggie Hassan says licensing a casino is the only way for the state to restore cuts to the University of New Hampshire and, capitalizing on Newtown, to pay for mental health programs. Pass casinos or risk a mass school shooting.
They're miracle products, those casinos. They're like Ginsu knives sold on late-night television. After providing enough money to fund schools and employ thousands, they can cut through a tin can and still cleanly slice a tomato - without social costs!
Legislators should be wary of casino lobbyists who act like guys in a singles bar as closing time approaches, using whatever come-on line fits the moment in their effort to take you home.
Watching the deep-pocketed gambling lobby in action has prompted longtime observers to worry that a future casino industrial complex would dominate New Hampshire's volunteer Legislature in short order. These opponents see corruption and crime as intrinsic to gambling, based on the experience of other states. They worry about social costs, which even the governor acknowledges will increase as a result of her plan. She's OK with that, but legislators may be less cavalier about collateral damage.
I describe myself as pro-choice on gambling. If you like to gamble or see it as just another form of entertainment, I'm not going to prevent you from visiting Vegas or Foxwoods. I think buying lottery tickets is for people who are bad at math, so I don't buy them. You can do what you like.
But one can be pro-choice on gambling and still think it's a bad idea to open a casino in New Hampshire.
Allowing one casino, as Gov. Hassan has proposed, is like watching one ant walk across your kitchen counter. That ant is a scout, and there won't be just one ant for long. Were one casino to open, pressure would build immediately for more, either because the first casino is making money or because it isn't making enough. The first gambling addict will be state government, which will be hooked on the money even as returns diminish.
So allowing one casino is to expect slot machines all over the state. One past proposal would have allowed 100 slot machines at any hotel with more than 100 beds. That would fundamentally alter New Hampshire's brand as a family-friendly place to vacation.
"Casinos provide very few high-skill, living-wage jobs and no exportable or value-added product or service. As an economic strategy, casinos take our state in precisely the wrong direction," former state Sen. Jim Rubens told me this week. Rubens leads the volunteer-driven Granite State Coalition Against Expanded Gambling. The only ones who get rich from casinos are the owners. It's the first rule of gambling: The house always wins.
"It's called gambling because it's a gamble," former Gov. Steve Merrill, a gambling opponent, used to say. Gov. Hassan is finding that out for herself.

A lot of acres in the South have been converted from cotton production to corn production during the past few years. Yet, the fundamentals of corn production are important no matter where you are growing it, says Ken Ferrie, Farm Journal Field Agronomist.
Ferrie provides an overview of the importance of the system approach to corn production, which he shared at Farm Journal's Corn College in the South event. The event was held Jan. 8 in Vicksburg, Miss., and included presentations from Ferrie and Mississippi State University's Erick Larson.

Skinny center Jarred Shaw turning tough for Aggies
By Kyle Goon
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Feb 07 2013 07:23PM
Logan • Going by the nickname "Slim" doesn't intimidate opponents too much.
As Jarred Shaw's game has developed, it's been more finesse than fight. More touch than toughness. It's been a gift for Utah State, but also a frustration when the Aggies need him to muscle in for rebounds and points.
He's been told many times over the years he needs to play stronger.
"It's something I've been told I have to do all my life," Shaw said. "Now my time's coming up."
Against Seattle last week, Shaw quickly racked up two fouls early in the game. He sat for a while, then came back in with a few minutes before the half.
Stew Morrill got Shaw's attention as he rubbed the soles of shoes, ready to retake the court.
"Hey, be smart," Morrill said, leaning toward him. "Don't be soft."
Shaw's been getting the message recently, playing like the Aggies need him to play. Over the past three contests — during which Utah State has gone 2-1 — Shaw has averaged 21.3 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks. He's shooting better than 69 percent in those games.
After injuries to Preston Medlin and Kyisean Reed, he's been called upon to carry the load for the Aggies. It's taken him some time to adjust to that role, but he's getting it.
"I've never been on a team where I've had to play a key role, where I had to be the man to step up and make it physical," Shaw said. "When I was at Oklahoma State, there were guys ahead of me. When I was in high school, there were guys around me who were the 'tough' guy. Being around them and seeing how being physical helped them out has helped me do what I need to do."
Shaw has been an enigma — a mercurial force who can either dominate or defer. In December, he had a 19-point, 12-rebound night against Nicholls State. The next evening, he struggled for six points and four boards against UC Davis.
The biggest adjustment Shaw has made the last few weeks has been attacking the rim. His spin-around moves are well-known to Aggies fans at this point, but he's been driving inside on those plays rather than settling for a 10-foot jumper.
"He's being more of a power player," Morrill said. "We've worked really hard with him on going toward the basket and not shooting fadeaways, not getting off-balance. He's been making much better low-post moves and being more aggressive, more physical to the basket."
When Shaw has been able to rebound and score inside, it's helped Utah State's shooters get more breathing room outside. And Shaw hasn't been too shabby on defense either: He held Idaho's Kyle Barone in check, and frustrated Seattle's Jack Crook and Louis Green.
Utah State won two in a row last week, and is going for its third straight on Friday. But if the Aggies want to hit with the Western Athletic Conference heavyweights, they'll need their big man to keep playing his size.
Shaw knows it, too.
"Basketball is something if you want it, you have to go out and take it," he said. "If I take a day off against Denver, New Mexico State or La. Tech, they're not going to take a day off. If you're not doing it, somebody else is going to do it."

Lute Olson and David Fisher, foreword by John Wooden
St. Martin's Griffin
It was love at first sight . . . One day I picked up a basketball, and it never let me go.
For fifty seasons Lute Olson has been teaching young athletes the skills of basketball---and life. Starting as a high school coach, he worked his way to the top of the basketball world---winning more than a thousand games, a national championship and world championship, producing some of the NBA's biggest stars, and eventually being enshrined in the basketball Hall of Fame.
But Lute is far more than a basketball story. His partner for forty-seven years in building championship programs was his high school sweetheart; his story is also a love story of a couple who together built a sports legend. Lute and Bobbi Olson were a team. Their almost half-century love affair ended with Bobbi's death from cancer. Lute explores how he dealt with her death and how he moved forward to find a new love.
This is the chronicle of one American boy's dream to become a great basketball coach---his achievements, his coaching strategies, and how he dealt with his beloved wife's death---the wins and losses he faced as boy, man, and coach. But always with one constant in his life, the game of basketball. This is the story of fifty seasons in the life of Lute Olson.
Praise for Lute!
"Lute Olson's story is the true American dream. He is a legendary coach who has shared his vision of winning with all his players---now we are given the chance to learn too. It's inspirational and downright heartwarming." ---Jim Nantz, CBS Sports
". . . it is exactly what you would expect from Olson---intelligent, first-class, sprinkled with dry wit---personal in ways you might not anticipate."
---Tucson Citizen
"This is not a basketball book. It is not a book about a coach. It is the most unexpected of all things from the inscrutable Olson: the story of his personal life." ---Arizona Daily Star
The Seasons of My Life

PROVIDENCE—University of Rhode Island President David Dooley spoke to a gathering of media outlets at the Rhode Island Foundation on Wednesday to discuss the university's achievements over the past year, as well as outline the institution's future goals and overall vision.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō The South Kingstown School Committee voted Tuesday night to suspend the election of chair and vice-chair/clerk until after the annual summer retreat and they have received the communications subcommitteeŌĆÖs restructuring report.
The motion was initiated by Scott Mueller and school committee members voted six to one to approve the motion with newly elected member Jonathan Daly-LaBelle dissenting.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Economic development in South Kingstown is high on the priority list of the members of the South Kingstown Town Council for the next two years.
The members, including two who are in their first term, all cited economic development especially in South Kingstown's villages, as well as working with South County Hospital and the University of Rhode Island as an issue they wish to address at Monday night's meeting, their first as a group.
NARRAGANSETT—Handmade crafts, storytelling and lessons in eco-friendly living made Saturday's Narragansett Indian Tribe Native Arts Festival at the Towers a hands-on celebration of Native American Heritage Month.
Leftover Thanksgiving turkey might bring to mind stories of the native Americans who taught the earliest European settlers how to live off the land in order to survive. But for some Narragansett tribal members, making the most of natural resources isn't a relic of history—it's a part of daily life.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Seventy-four years later, the devastation that resulted from the Hurricane of 1938 is still apparent in parts of Rhode Island. Pieces of foundations of old homes that once lined East Beach in Westerly poke through the sand. The Category 3 storm tore though dozens of Victorian-era cottages, which once sat proudly along southern Rhode Island's shoreline, except for the five cottages on Browning's Beach in Matunuck.

PROVIDENCE - The Rhode Island Climate Change Commission, established in 2010 through legislation to reduce the risks of climate change across the state, has released its 2011-12 progress report. The 38-page document outlines the overall mission of the commission in assessing the stateŌĆÖs and municipalitiesŌĆÖ needs in order to mitigate the present and future impacts of climate change.
KINGSTON ŌĆō Want and desire dripped from the words exiting Dan HurleyŌĆÖs mouth as he spoke about his teamŌĆÖs loss Wednesday night. He has already expressed his feelings on moral victories. YouŌĆÖre not playing for them. You play, as former New York Jets head coach Herm Edwards famously said in a press conference one decade ago, to win the game.
The East Greenwich football team advanced to Sunday's Division III Super Bowl with a 25-13 win in the D-III semifinals over Moses Brown while Narragansett lost in the other D-III semi to Middletown, 35-14.
Andrew Miner threw three touchdown passes in the win, two in the second quarter that put the Avengers up 19-7 at the break. His third came in the fourth on a 12-completion to Alex Cleary, who had two touchdowns in the game.

When an athlete retires, that doesn't mean he or she stops working. And that's true too for former race horses. And thanks to a veterinarian, some thoroughbred horses are getting a second chance at a new job.
From the time a thoroughbred race horse is born, it knows nothing but the track."Once their owners are done with them and their career in racing is done, they really have no place to go," says horse veterinarian Dr. Richard Bowman.So in 1993, Dr. Bowman started taking retired horses from Canterbury Park racetrack in Minnesota to his ranch in Rhame."Here they're turned out into large pastures, and they kind of become a horse again," says Bowman.At first, Dr. Bowman was taking home a few horses each year. Now, he's up to thirty or forty."It's like a potato chip, you can't just have one."And once they're in Rhame, he retrains them for new jobs."We've got some in the police force down in Minnesota, some in the rodeo arena, we have people that just like to trail ride them, people that are using them on ranches to rope cattle. They fit just any place where you can fit a horse."Bowman ran the operation by himself for almost two decades, paying for the care and upkeep of every horse. But last year, a group of horse lovers in Dickinson joined the cause."We went out to the ranch, we took pictures of every horse out there, and we got all the information on them as far as their 'horsonalties' and that kind of thing," says President Tess Ehli, Second Chance Thoroughbred Adoption. They then put that info on a Facebook page to get the word out. Now, they pre-screen all potential adopters to make sure their abilities and facilities are up to speed. "I don't recommend these horses for beginners for obvious reasons. They've been raced and so if you miscue them, they will get up and go and so we want somebody that will understand how to stop a horse," says Tess.
People from all over the country adopt Dr. Bowman's horses but some of them are right here in North Dakota, like at the Prairie Rose Training Facility in Bismarck. "One of the things that's just really important about it is that these horses have most of their working lives left. I mean, these are horses that most of the time are the same age as we would be typically starting a horse," says trainer Mimi Stanley, Prairie Rose Training Center.Stanley and her mom run the training center and have adopted four thoroughbreds from Bowman.
"By the time they come to their next home, they really are in an excellent place to start with their training," says owner Karla Stanley.But this is the first year Prairie Rose has partnered with Second Chance to host an Open Barn event, showcasing some of the thoroughbreds up for adoption."This is Dallas. He was adopted last weekend," says Mimi."The part that we could do is we could show what these horses are capable of doing when they've had some training," says Karla.And those involved say with a little training, these horses can do just about anything.
"I've just had a new appreciation for this breed. I didn't know that they were quite this calm and fun to have around, you know they are just a hoot for sure," says Tess.
People from all over the country have adopted these horses, and the cost is $300. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/secondchancethoroughbredadoption.

Callie KimballCore Apprentices 2012
Callie Kimball just graduated in the very first class of the new Playwriting M.F.A. at Hunter College, run by Tina Howe and Mark Bly. She has received a MacDowell Fellowship and a Ludwig Vogelstein grant, was a finalist for the Clubbed Thumb Biennial Award, and twice won the Rita & Burton Goldberg Prize at Hunter College. Her full-length plays have been produced, read, or developed at Washington Shakespeare Company, Project Y Theatre, the Kennedy Center, Electric Pear Productions, Lunar Energy Productions, and the Capital Fringe Festival. She founded the playwriting group Lizard Claw, and also the women's playmaking collective DC Dollies & The Rocket Bitch Revue.
"My plays frequently explore dark subjects such as parasitic relationships, emotional violence, and organized aggression. I like to set up collisions between characters who have run out of words and characters who have too many of them. I also enjoy writing plays that are adapted from or inspired by literary works—they're especially useful as a lens through which to examine topical and political issues."

Cougars Edge SMSU 87-83 In Overtime
SIOUX FALLS, SD — The University of Sioux Falls men's basketball team defeated Southwest Minnesota State 87-83 in overtime on Saturday at the Stewart Center. The Cougars let a 13-point second half lead slip away in regulation, as the Mustangs forced overtime and at one point led by two in the overtime, before USF rallied for its first overtime victory since defeating Dakota Wesleyan, 94-89, on Feb. 2, 2011.
USF (4-1, 1-0 NSIC) had five players in double figures, paced by sophomore Jordan Stotts' 17 points, which is a new career-best. Senior guard Robert Goffney added 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting, while Derek Brown and Charles Ward scored 13 points apiece. Junior center Bryan Kielpinski added 10 points off the bench.
SMSU's Shaun Condon led all scorers with 19 points (6-for-11 from the floor, 4-for-5 on free throws).
The Cougars led 55-42 after Goffney knocked down a three-pointer with 12:40 to play, but SMSU (2-4, 0-1 NSIC) shot 60-percent from the floor in the second half to force overtime. Ward missed a layup in traffic and SMSU's William Giddings saw his half-court heave fall short in the final seconds of regulation. However, Ward went 7-for-8 from the charity stripe in overtime to help the Cougars improve to 2-1 against SMSU since joining the NSIC last season.
Trailing 85-83 after Ward hit one of two free throws, SMSU had two chances to win or tie but Condon missed an open 3 from the wing and Matt Zager's jumper to tie also missed following an offensive board. Cougar freshman Mack Johnson came away with the loose ball and Robert Goffney hit two free throws with 4.3 seconds left to put it away.
The Mustangs stormed back from a 14-9 deficit midway through the opening half to take a 33-31 lead at halftime. Brown scored a team-high eight points in the half, including a pair of three-pointers, while Stotts had seven and Mahlon Jones tallied five points off the bench. SMSU outrebounded USF, 17-13, and the Cougars converted seven SMSU miscues into seven points.
USF's halftime deficit was due in part to SMSU getting two points on a technical foul for Kielpinski not being written into the official scorebook before the game.
Out of the break, the Cougars leveled things at 33-all with a Stotts slam and started to pull away early in the second thanks to five more Mustang attack miscues, turnover, but complacency on the part of USF and sturdier defense from the Mustangs quickly tightened the gap. A three-minute drought for the Cougars allowed SMSU to get within three at 55-52 with just under 10 minutes left, and though USF pushed the lead back to nine two minutes later, the Mustangs tied it at 68 with 4:27 left on the clock. Both teams held serve the rest of the half, splitting the final 12 points to send the game to overtime.
USF shot 50.8% from the floor and tallied 15 assists on 30 field goals. The Cougars were out-rebounded 36-29 while the Mustang reserves edged their Cougar counterparts, 29-27.
The Cougars will wrap their five-game homestand next weekend when they host Wayne State College and rival Augustana College.

This rescue was started because of the overwhelming love and respect one woman has for the intelligence, beauty and trust that animals show on a daily basis.
Since September 2003, we have been a non-profit, volunteer based, no kill rescue which has provided a safe haven for unwanted and neglected chinchillas. This has consisted of medical care, a spacious and clean living environment, a healthy diet, exercise and unlimited love. Each chinchilla is given individual attention and care. We started with one woman that had a life changing experience with animals and found herself looking down a life path that she had to follow. We have a five member board of directors, are incorporated in the state of Connecticut and have networked with several other chinchilla rescues across the US to help homeless chinchillas. Our rescue is devoted exclusively to chinchillas and we are the only full time chinchilla rescue in New England.
We do NOT breed chinchillas. We will travel to MA, NH, RI, VT, areas of NY, and of course throughout CT, to pick up chinchillas in need of a home.
The beliefs & principles of this rescue are as follows:
The chinchilla's physical and mental wellbeing is always our TOP PRIORITY. We highly encourage all chinchilla guardians to educate themselves fully about these beautiful and wonderful animals. New knowledge is being gained all the time to better care for them.
All animals started out as wild. No animal has ever asked nor sought to be domesticated and kept in a confined environment. We have chosen to take animals out of their natural habitat and make them dependant upon us. They are our friends and part of our family as we are their human companions, caretakers and guardians of their lifestyle & survival. No one owns another living creature. Therefore, guardian is our choice to use when referring to the human in a chinchilla's life.
OUR MISSION: We provide a healthy, loving home for unwanted and neglected chinchillas with permanent housing in our rescue and through adoptions. We educate/counsel the public about the physical and emotional needs of chinchillas so they learn how to provide these animals with a healthy, safe and happy life. We provide awareness of the hardships and mass breeding of chinchillas on ranches for pelting and the pet industry. In addition, we enlighten the public about the plight of the wild chinchilla in their natural habitat.
Chinchillas are very happy, feisty critters and have a tremendous amount of energy. Our wish is that all chinchillas, domestic and wild, live very long, healthy and safe lives and that soon they will be appreciated for their intelligence and inner beauty and no longer sacrificed for their outer beauty. We hope that they can always live to be FOREVER FEISTY CHINCHILLAS.
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul
This peaceful loving family deserves to keep the fur on THEIR backs as nature intended.

9 money goofs that won't hurt much
Worried that a late utility bill will wallop your credit scores? Stop fretting. These common lapses could lead to financial troubles, but they won't ding your scores.
It's hard to overstate how important credit scores have become in our financial lives.
Not only do our scores influence whether we get loans and how much they cost, but the information is also used by insurance companies to set premiums and by landlords to evaluate applicants. Good credit scores can save you money; bad scores can cut you off from financial help or cost you literally hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime.
Given how important credit scores are, you may find some relief in the fact that not every financial misstep you make will necessarily show up in your numbers. In fact, there are plenty of mistakes you can make that won't touch your FICOs, which are the credit scores most lenders use.
Those blunders include:
1. Job hopping
Flitting from post to post may brand you as a flake in many employers' eyes, but multiple job changes don't affect your credit scores.
Your employer may be listed on your credit reports, but the leading FICO credit scoring formula ignores information about employment. Your credit scores are based on how you've handled credit accounts, not how often your business cards change.
Liz Weston
A caveat: You may have more trouble getting a mortgage if you haven't been with your current employer for at least two years. That's because mortgage lenders these days look at more than just your credit scores, and they like to see some job stability in their applicants.
2. A high debt-to-income ratio
Your income is not a factor in the FICO formula, so the fact that you have debt payments eating up a big chunk of your paycheck won't, in itself, hurt your scores.
What will damage your digits is maxing out your credit accounts. If your balances eat up a big portion of your credit limits, your scores will suffer.
Also, as noted above, mortgage and other lenders look at more than just your scores when deciding whether to grant you a loan. A high debt-to-income ratio could torpedo your chance of getting a loan or force you to pay a higher interest rate.
Plus, owing a lot is just a drag. You're paying for past consumption, rather than enjoying today or saving for your future. If your debt payments, including your mortgage, total 40% or more of your income, seek help.
3. Paying late on many bills
Lenders -- including credit card, auto and mortgage lenders -- are quick to rat you out to the credit bureaus if you skip a single payment. Even one 30-day late payment can knock more than 100 points off your credit scores.
But most other billers cut you some slack. Utility companies, for example, typically don't report accounts to the credit bureaus until they are seriously overdue and in collections. The same is true for most phone carriers, cable and satellite television providers, and tax authorities. Insurers usually won't take you to collections; they'll just drop your coverage. (There are exceptions, of course; check your credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com to see if any accounts other than those from lenders are being reported on your files.)
Of course, you shouldn't pay late if you can avoid it, since doing so usually triggers late fees, cranky calls from the companies you owe and, in the case of insurance lapses, trouble with your mortgage lender or your state's vehicle licensing agency, plus exposure to catastrophic bills. But you shouldn't worry that one forgotten water or cell bill will cost you your good credit scores.
4. Having no savings
Living paycheck to paycheck increases your stress levels, but it doesn't, by itself, hurt your credit scores.
Just as the FICO scoring formula ignores income, it also ignores your assets. You could have a million bucks in the bank or have no bank account at all -- the FICO formula doesn't know or care.
In a practical sense, though, having no savings can increase the likelihood you'll hit a bump in your financial road that causes you to miss a credit payment or go deeper into debt -- both of which can hurt your scores. Read "Why you need $500 in the bank" for more on breaking out of the paycheck-to-paycheck grind.
5. Bouncing checks
Overdrafts won't show up on your credit reports or affect your scores unless you fail to make good on your bounced transactions. If you can't cover the debt, though, the bank can turn you over to collections and that can hurt your credit. Plus, you're likely to wind up on one of the blacklists the banking industry uses to keep track of those who've abused their checking accounts. That can make it tough to open another bank account for years to come.
If you're having trouble keeping track of your bank balance, you should:
- Sign up for email or text alerts that will tell you when you're running on fumes.
- Turn off "bounce protection" or "courtesy overdraft." Banks have been pushing this service hard because it rakes in lots of profits.
- Consider true overdraft protection, which links your checking account to a savings account, credit card or line of credit. This is the best choice for occasional overdrafters. If you're chronically running on fumes and in danger of racking up debts you can't pay back, just shut off bounce protection and learn to live with the money you've got.
6. Carrying a small credit card balance
Carrying a balance on your credit cards is financially foolish, but as long as the balance is small, you won't hurt your credit.
But small means small, as in less than 10% of your available credit. Any balance that eats up more of your limit can start to dampen your scores. The bigger the percentage of your limit you're using on any card, the worse the potential impact.
You also should know, though, that carrying a balance doesn't help your credit. Having and using your credit cards lightly are what's important -- you don't need to pay interest to boost your credit scores.
7. Getting a student loan deferral or forbearance
Skipping a payment on a loan is a huge, hairy deal, as I mentioned above. But if you make formal arrangements with a student lender to enter a deferral or forbearance program, your credit shouldn't be affected.
Just make sure you're approved for the program before you stop making payments, since a misunderstanding could cost your credit scores dearly. And use these programs sparingly, since your debt will typically grow when you're not paying it down.
Also, understand that student loan deferral and forbearance programs are unique. Other workout or loan modification programs, such as a mortgage modification, may affect your credit scores.
8. Having a fat wad of credit cards
Keeping track of a bunch of credit card accounts can be a pain, with all the different due dates and potential fees you might have to pay. But rest assured: There's no such thing in the FICO scoring formula as having "too much available credit." Open credit lines generally have a positive impact on your scores, which is why you don't want to close accounts or request lower limits if you're in score-improvement mode.
You don't want to rush out and open a bunch of new cards, though, since each application can ding your scores. But if the accounts are already open, you shouldn't worry that they're dragging down your scores unless (again) you're using too much of your available credit. If you are carrying big balances, spreading the debt over several cards and paying down those balances over time should help your credit; closing accounts will not.
9. Obsessing about your credit scores
You could check your credit reports and buy your credit scores every day for years, and still not impact your FICOs. That's because the FICO scoring formula ignores any inquiries you initiate through official channels such as the credit bureaus, AnnualCreditReport.com or myFICO. Where you can run into problems is in having your credit pulled by a lender or even a friend at the bank, because those typically will be coded as "hard inquiries" that can ding your scores.
Also, checking your credit a lot can cost you a lot. You get only one free peak at your credit reports each year, and you typically can't get your FICOs for free (if you're getting free scores, they're probably not FICOs, or you've signed up for credit monitoring that will cost you a monthly, quarterly or annual fee). Scores at myFICO cost $19.95 a pop, and the credit bureaus charge various fees to view your reports after you've exhausted your annual free peeks.
You're smart to review your credit reports once or twice a year to monitor for identity theft and errors. You also should check FICO scores a few months before you plan to apply for a major loan. Otherwise, though, you should probably relax and find a hobby that doesn't involve obsessing over three-digit numbers.

Financing Your Education
We are known for our academic excellence, the quality of its faculty and students, and the beauty of our campus. After evaluating these attributes, many prospective students and their families recognize the benefit of investing in a St. Andrews education. At the same time, we recognize there may be some apprehension about college costs.
Every year we commit significant resources – including scholarships, grants, loans, and campus employment – to meet student financial need. In most cases, state and federal funds supplement grant or scholarship support. This combination of awards can significantly reduce a family's out-of-pocket expense. All students are encouraged to file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) adding the 001540 school code to ensure that our financial aid office receives a copy electronically.
We are committed to assisting students and their families in meeting their financial obligations to the institution. Admissions decisions are based on applicant academic and personal qualifications, not on ability to pay. And, every year, financial aid is awarded to approximately 90% of our students.The goal of the Office of Financial Aid is to help students make their education affordable. For more information, contact the Office of Financial Aid by phone at 910-277-3953. Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday- Friday.

Frisky Dingo is an American animated cartoon series created by Adam Reed and Matt Thompson for Adult Swim. The series revolved around the conflict between a supervillain named Killface and a superhero named Awesome X, alias billionaire Xander Crews, and much of the show's humor focuses on parodying superhero and action movie clichés. It debuted on October 16, 2006 and ended its first season on January 22, 2007; the second season premiered on August 26, 2007 and ended on March 23, 2008. A third season was in development, but in the absence of a renewal contract from Adult Swim, pre-production ceased. The production company itself, 70/30 Productions, subsequently went out of business in January 2009.
A spin-off show, The Xtacles, premiered on November 9, 2008, but only two episodes were aired prior to the production company's closure.
Frisky Dingo was created by 70/30 Productions, the same group of animators who worked on Sealab 2021. The show's name during development was Whiskey Tango. Because there was already a band using the name, it was changed to Whiskey Tango Six. This name was determined not to be sufficiently distinct to avoid infringement suits, so the creators jokingly said they would call the show Frisky Dingo, and the name remained. In episode 113, Killface can be seen entering "Frisky Dingo" into the Annihilatrix launch terminal; this is mentioned in episode 210, where the character Sinn/Hooper remarks that "Frisky Dingo" is the launch code for the Annihilatrix.
According to an article in Atlanta Magazine, Whiskey Tango Six was going to be the name of the six-member superhero group on which the show focused, headed by husband and wife Jack and Grace Taggart.[1] The team flew around in a spaceship called the Glennis. Killface was going to be the main villain, but not a major character.[1] During revisions of the show's scripts, Killface became the focus of the show. It is not known when Whiskey Tango Six was replaced with Xander Crews/Awesome X and the Xtacles.
The two main characters of the show are Killface, who is a naked, bone-white, red-eyed, earless, talon-toed, spur-heeled, 7-foot-tall (2.1 m) hairless, muscular humanoid supervillain focused on destroying Earth with his invention, the Annihilatrix;[2] and billionaire tycoon Xander Crews, who fights crime under the superhero alias Awesome X.[3] Both Killface and Xander are voiced by co-creator Adam Reed. The two have an ever-shifting relationship, changing from enemies to unwilling allies on many occasions.
Other major characters include Killface's son Simon – voiced by Christian Danley – an overweight, blond-haired, pale-skinned, sexually confused, teenage Hannah Montana fan who wears sweater vests and exhibits adolescent rebellion by muttering and breaking cereal bowls;[4] Reporter Grace Ryan, former girlfriend of Xander Crews turned into Antagone, a toxic, radioactive-ant-powered villainess; Sinn – voiced by Kelly Jenrette – later known as Hooper, originally Killface's sidekick and later his enemy;[5] and the Xtacles, Awesome X's team of easily distracted and remarkably inept rocket-booted troops.[6]
Frisky Dingo takes place primarily in and around a large city simply called "Town" or "the Town". Its actual name never being mentioned becomes a running joke throughout the series. Despite its lack of a specific name, maps of "Town" are featured throughout the series which closely resemble interstate roadmaps of the city of Atlanta, Georgia where 70/30 Studios, producers of Frisky Dingo, were based. Additional evidence for "Town" being Atlanta is the presence of buildings suspiciously resembling the Cotton Mill Lofts (a location that at one time housed production operations for 70/30) burning in the second episode, "Meet Awesome-X". Also, in the episode where Killface is pandering to the African American church congregation he is wearing what looks like Michael Vick's Atlanta Falcons football jersey.
The first season of Frisky Dingo follows the adversarial relationship between the villainous Killface, who aspires to strike fear into humankind before he drives the Earth into the Sun with his Annihilatrix, and Awesome X, the secret superhero identity of multi-billionaire Xander Crews who dreads retiring after having defeated the last known supervillain. The season ends with the activation of the Annihilatrix by Simon, Killface's son.
At the beginning of the second season, Killface is taking credit for "curing" global warming due to the Annihilatrix having moved the Earth a total of three feet further from the sun before it malfunctioned, and has decided to run for President of the United States. Xander Crews follows suit, re-forming his company and launching his own Presidential campaign.

The Xtacles is a spin-off from Frisky Dingo in which the Xtacles, Xander Crews' private army, take a lead role. The series revolves around the Xtacles' lack of direction following the abduction of their leader by aliens at the end of Frisky Dingo. They take on random missions from President Stan, who returns from the previous series. The series premiered its only two episodes on November 9, 2008.
In early 2009, Adult Swim declined to fund the production of any episodes beyond the first two. Around the same time, 70/30 Productions closed.[7]
As a spin-off from Frisky Dingo, The Xtacles takes place in the same fictional world, with the primary setting being the Xtacles' flying aircraft carrier, the Xcalibur. The Xtacles are the private army of Iron Man-esque superhero Awesome-X (Xander Crews), who like their leader are outfitted with flight-capable, self-contained powered armor and an arsenal of high-tech weaponry. Xander Crews leaves the Earth aboard the spaceship of Killface's alien race at the end of Frisky Dingo, and since then the Xtacles have been simply milling about aimlessly, because Awesome-X's last orders were to wait for new orders. However, about a year after Awesome-X leaves for space, the Xtacles finally activate the Xcalibur's on-board AI, A.L.E.X., who informs them that a clause in their contract directly states that if Awesome X dies, is lost in space, or has sex to death while in space, all of their previous orders are cancelled.
Now led by their highest-ranking member, Jack Taggart, the Xtacles once again become a freelance private army of crimefighters. President Stan, unable to locate any other heroes for various reasons, is forced to depend on the Xtacles to solve crimes. However, the Xtacles prove to be catastrophically incompetent, making their attempts to complete the missions they are given humorously destructive and ultimately futile.
- Jack Taggart (Marshall Bell) - the leader of the Xtacles. Though Taggart presents himself as a stern and by-the-book commander, he is just as incompetent as his subordinates. He has a habit of jumping to conclusions on any given case, such as assuming that Yeti terrorists are responsible for the destruction of the Rocky Mountains (which he in fact had destroyed with the Xcalibur). His right eye is stark white and has a scar running over it, including a bald spot on his eyebrow, while the left is blue.
- A.L.E.X (Rachael Harris) - the holographic avatar for the Xcalibur's computer. She is the only competent person aboard the Xcalibur, despite not being a person. She serves as the voice of reason to the Xtacles' trigger-happy attitude, but they usually don't pay attention to her. She takes her job quite seriously, and insists that she doesn't need to look attractive to do her work; the Xtacles disagree.
- Chase Fontaine (Michael Ian Black) - one of the recurring Xtacles who doesn't normally wear his helmet. He is attracted to A.L.E.X., and seems to be oblivious to the fact that she can't have sex with him since she's a hologram.
- Joseph Bigsby (Matthew Stanton) - a younger and more naive Xtacle who is usually seen manning the bridge.
- President Stan (Stuart Culpepper) - the president of the United States. His man-eating clones serve as his press secretaries. Stan makes little effort to hide the fact that he abuses his power, such as building giant statues of himself. He is reluctantly forced to rely on the Xtacles for help, as all the other heroes are either retired or unreachable.
- Mr. Ford (Mr. Ford) - a man whose house was destroyed by the Xtacles. He now lives rent-free in the Xcalibur's reactor room.

|"Operation: Mountain Punch"
|November 9, 2008
|Taggart refuses to do anything in the absence of orders from Awesome X, which includes changing course to avoid crashing into the Rocky Mountains, resulting in the Xcalibur smashing through the peaks. The Xtacles decide to drink on the deck while A.L.E.X. convinces Taggart to change course. The Xtacles' destructive inaction does not go unnoticed, and President Stan has no choice but to call on the Xtacles themselves to figure out who's destroying the Rocky Mountains. Taggart blames Yeti terrorists, then proceeds to kill one of his crew-members who happens to look like a yeti at the time, and then considers his job done.
|"Operation: Murderous Conclusions"
|November 9, 2008
|President Stan's new statue is anally violated, so Stan calls upon the Xtacles to solve the mystery. When it is determined that a gorilla must have done it, Taggart blames a criminal named Rape Ape, who he just made up. No file exists for the made-up criminal, so the Xtacles move to the next item, Rapier Ape, a retired ape fencer whom they assume to have taken raping to a new level. A massacre at the restaurant where Rapier Ape is employed ensues and Rapier Ape is brutally beaten for his "crime," while the actual Rape Ape proceeds to rape Stan's new statue.
