Brazil to launch program to save World Cup mascot armadillo, but critics want FIFA investments
RIO DE JANEIRO – Brazil will begin a program meant to save the endangered three-banded armadillo, the mascot for this year's World Cup, the Environment Ministry said Tuesday.
The move was applauded by environmentalists, who have complained that little has been done to save the animal since it was named as the tournament's mascot. They are calling on FIFA to invest more in its conservation.
The three-banded armadillo is in danger of extinction, largely because of deforestation and hunting in its habitat in northeastern Brazil. Its meat is considered a delicacy by some in that region.
Those risks in large part are why the armadillo was chosen as World Cup mascot. Another is that when it's frightened, it rolls up into a ball small enough to fit into one hand, looking like a tan soccer ball.
Environmentalists working to save the creature complain that FIFA is investing little of the profits from merchandising the mascot into saving the animal.
"More Brazilians are aware of the animal than before, but it hasn't resulted in more funds to help save it," said Rodrigo Castro, director of the Caatinga Association environmental group that started a campaign with the U.S.-based Nature Conservancy in 2012 to get the armadillo named as the World Cup mascot. "All the stuffed armadillos being sold, the T-shirts with its image, little of that profit is being used to save the animal."
FIFA didn't immediately reply to an emailed request for comment.
The Environment Ministry said it would take concrete steps by the end of this year to help save the armadillo. Those will mostly focus on efforts to conserve the animal's habitat and to educate people about its risk of extinction in hopes of discouraging hunting.
The mascot is called "Fuleco," derived from the Portuguese words "futebol" (football) and "ecologia" (ecology). It carries the colors of the Brazilian flag — the armadillo is yellow, with green shorts and a blue shell and tail. It is dressed in a white shirt emblazoned with the words "Brazil 2014."
The mascot of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was a leopard called Zakumi. The 2006 tournament in Germany featured a lion called Goleo.

FORCE: Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered
16057 Tampa Palms Blvd. W
Tampa, FL 33647
The Downey Sisters' Fund for BRCA Mutation Awareness and Education was established by Phebe and Frederick Downey, to honor their daughters:
Ann Downey Little • Margaret Downey Hardy • Katherine Downey Berges • Martha Downey Lemp
The fund is being used to educate the public and the medical community about the genetic risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
"Learning to Dance in the Rain"
The Downey Sisters' Story
In the spring of 2009, the Downeys learned about their family BRCA mutation from a paternal second cousin, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and subsequently underwent genetic testing. With this new information about the paternal connection, Fred Downey first, and then his daughters Ann Little, Meg Hardy, Kate Berges and Marti Lemp, were each tested. Shockingly, all five learned they were positive for the BRCA mutation, and within three months Ann was diagnosed with breast cancer and Marti with fallopian tube/ovarian cancer.
Over the next year, Ann and Martha underwent chemotherapy, and then with Meg and Kate, all four made the agonizing choice to undergo the multiple recommended prophylactic surgeries. Having consulted broadly, questioning, listening, and learning as much as they possibly could, they each reached the conclusion that the only option was to have the recommended surgeries. There was some comfort in knowing that the sisters were going through this together; there was also much painful deliberation and loving support from family and friends. But ultimately these were very difficult, individual, emotional decisions faced by each of them.
For more than a year their surgeries permeated their lives and those of their families. There were many difficult days, painful decisions, side effects to consider, trips to take, medications to endure, doctors to see, jobs to maintain, etc. This was a long painful journey, but it was also the year they began to embrace a new approach: Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain. And so they 'danced'!
The sisters, all now in their 50s, are healthy, have resumed their active family and professional lives, and are surrounded by people who love them. They, their parents, and their families have responded with courage and compassion — and a remarkable commitment to helping and educating others affected by hereditary cancer, hoping to save lives. Phebe and Frederick Downey, to honor their daughters, established the Downey Sisters' Fund for BRCA Mutation Awareness and Education in 2009. It continues to be used to educate both the public and the medical community about the genetic risk of both breast and ovarian cancer.

I just checked the latest post from Ray Comfort and submitted the following response. I'm doubtful that he'll post it and I'm very doubtful that we'll ever have any sort of dialog…but, darn it, I just can't stop trying. I guess I'm a bit more masochistic than I thought.
For those that don't want to read Ray's post, the short version is: the OT and NT gods are the same, righteous, perfect and equally stern in their pure justice. This version has only a single change…I've actually provided the link to the wiki, as I can pretty much do whatever I want to do here. 🙂
Thanks, Ray…for (almost) preaching the very sermon I've been preaching for years.
So many Christians (and many non-Christians) dismiss the Old Testament view of God in favor of the cheek-turning compassion of the New Testament version. The mistakenly think that the NT version is better, softer or more kind.
There's just one tiny area where we disagree (actually, there are several beyond this, but I'm only addressing the comparison)…you think the OT and NT versions are equally good, righteous and perfect. I don't.
While some non-believers might agree with you, but opt for 'equally bad' as the appropriate description, I simply don't agree. The NT doctrine is far worse.
Your cartoonish oversimplification of the wages of OT sin being "Hell" is not consistent with Jewish tradition and not Biblically supported without anachronistic reinterpretation of the OT. The very understanding of death and what happens after death is rather nebulous in the OT and much more vivid in the NT. This renders the NT version of God far worse than the OT version – because the immoral doctrines of original sin is compounded by the unjust concept of eternal punishment for finite 'sins' (though you'll probably point out that sins against a God are necessarily infinite…that's just a convenient interpretation that isn't supported theologically, logically or Biblically).
The idea that it is just to punish people for their thoughts, doubts or disbelief is a perversion of any reasonable concept of justice. The system is further polluted by the claim that it rewards belief, regardless of, or in preference to action.
While you'll find this sad, possibly offensive and may even refuse to publish it, I have no problem at all asserting that my moral values are superior to those of any character in the Bible, including the various characterizations of God. In fact, I'd argue that the God of the Bible may be one of the least moral characters in that entire collection of ancient writings.
When you sacrifice your humanity, your decency and your rational sense of justice in order to claim that the tyrannical acts of a more powerful being are intrinsically just, appealing to the banality of 'might makes right' – you've lost the battle.
The Euthyphro dilemma begins to make this point about fiat-morality…but it's worth extending.
If you're so impressed with the Sermon on the Mount, I'd be curious to hear your take on my response to it.

Maggs and Woodland Somerset
Bit of a long shot but anybody have any knowledge of the connection between the Maggs and Woodland family in Somerset in the early 1900s. My Grandfather was David Woodland and my Grandmother was Bessie Maggs.
I think my Grandmother was married previously to a Maggs as my father had a step brother with the Maggs name.

Battle of the Barrel
The Battle of the Barrel is one of the most popular events at the 119th annual Central District Volunteer Fire Department (CDVFA) convention in Kane. Opposing teams of firemen squirt water Friday afternoon to advance an old beer keg linked to a cable strung on Wetmore Avenue. The team that moves the keg the furthest distance on the cable in a specific time is the winner.

Today I took the grandkids for a nice Sunday
stroller walk
We ended up at a local park and were
about to go down the big slide
Since my grandson is not quite 2 I usually
slide down with him but
the slide was wet, someone had poured
some of a water bottle down it
A child suggested I not go down but
I had my super duper waterproof pants on
and figured "Awe, we'll be OK"
My grandson was hesitant to go down,
that should have been a signal for me
We didn't slide down, we zooooooomed down,
my feet hit flat, I landed face first in wood chips
with big butt in the air.
Thankfully, my grandson landed OK
a little shaken from the fast and furious trip
I look up , my grandson was looking at me
then I realize "hey, im actually hurt"
Blood is trickling down my face
as I realize "I've got a headache"
Someone asks if I'm OK
Of course, I say yes and get up
My daughters were jogging to where
I was, so I text and advise of my "accident"
They jog, past me, I'm hoping they'll have
a little sympathy (maybe take the kids)
they jog past, I guess they figured if I was standing
"Mom's OK"
The Moral of this story:
"Sometimes ya have to listen to Grandkids, they just may have a sixth sense about things"
"Super Duper Waterproof pants are Super Duper slippery!"
"If you want sympathy from your kids, it just might not happen"
"Even Grandma's can do Dumb stuff sometimes"

Ferrari-the Ultimate classic (Ferrari Lovefest Topic)
I appreciate what you are saying regarding the uniqueness of the Ferrari compared to the Porsche 911. But your statements....
But the sound, the looks and feel of driving the 328 really make the 911 irrelevant.
IMHO, someone would have to smoking something to pay six figures for any flavor 911, when there are ROWS of them on used car lots and unless you read a lot of car mags they all look the same.
....suggest that you are more concerned about appearances than reality. The old 328 couldn't match the performance of my former (limited production, 9,000 rpm redline) $32k Honda S2000, let alone any model 997 or the Cayman you are considering for a daily driver. And, for less than $100k, the 911S Cab gives you comparable or better performance than a $175k Ferrari 360 Spider in a car that you can drive 30k miles in 2 years, not 20 years.
The fact is, that your statements are relevant to you, and mine to me. And BOTH the Ferrari 328 and Porsche 911 are to be commended for being the pinnacle of their respective segments within the sports car world. So, be assured that, other than as a friendly rebuke to your post, I will never show disrespect for Ferrari. They do what they do better than any other manufacturer, period. By the same token, I would hope that you can see why the 911S isn't "irrelevant" to me and last time I checked, I wasn't smoking anything.
P.S. I have the $2,400 Porsche sport exhaust on my 911S and, hate as I might to admit it, it sounds great too, with 0 increase in the official horsepower rating0
Hey, this board is too quiet to brush off any posts...
You're right, my experience with these cars is much more subjective and far less stopwatch/g-meter focused.
I wouldn't compare a 308/328 to any 2006 model year sports cars on the track. I think my point, clumsily made, was that in the sports-car-experience-per-dollar ratio (which includes things like speed, visual and aural impact, and financial considerations like depreciation) is that a new 911 is a "bad deal" compared to some of Porsche and Ferrari's past offerings.
Obviously I still appreciate Porsches. The value equation of the new models eludes me, though.0

O.K., I'll bite on that one.
I went through a tough decision to trun down a very good deal on a friends Ferrari 360 and have elected to order a new 911 S coupe instead.
What's the "bad deal" when the 911 S is more than capable of being driven daily at 15,000 miles per year and doesn't require an oil change until 20k miles? The 360's 30k major service would run $7,500 at the dealership. Worse yet, any relatively significant repair could take the car out of commission for 4-5+ weeks. The original owner did drive his 360 on a regular basis, but it depreciated substantially as a result. The dealer deducted $40,000 from the trade in value because it had 30k miles instead of the "expected" 5-8k. The owner offered it to me for less still, just to spite the dealer. They since made up and he's happy with his new 430.
The Ferrari 328 is a beautiful classic that looks great standing still. But to compare it to a new 997 and somehow conclude that the 997 is a "bad deal" suggests that you are willing to spend a lot of time admiring your 328 rather than driving it.
There really should be no comparison of ANY classic exotic to a current model 997. They serve significanly different purposes. A nearly 20 year old 328 is no more of a good daily driver than a 997 is an impressive garage queen. But reverse those roles, and both should serve their purpose very well. I'd take a 328 over a 911 for 1,500 miles of Sunday driving.
P.S. I owned one of the 450 original BMW M1's. Wish I still had it. But I wouldn't be driving it a fraction of the miles I'll put on the 911, if at all.0
I'd take a 328 over a 911 for 1,500 miles of Sunday driving.
In the spirit of compromise, I would agree. The old 911's don't do much for me visually. And the 328 can still turn heads on a dark night.0
True enough. I have other vehicles to drive daily, and in that light a Ferrari fits my needs perfectly. I'm OK trading a lot of practicality for driving something rare, because as a weekend car it needn't go 15K miles annually, and if it's in the shop a few days that's OK. (4-5 weeks?! The 30K major service on mine only took 1 week and that's for a 19-year old car...)
I thought, however, that one of the earlier posts missed the point with all the number crunching regarding Porsches and Ferraris. It reminded me of the "Evo, M3 or 355?" posts I see on other sites, which must leave 355 owners scratching their heads.
I would say that Porsche buyers often make these sensible calculations about downtime, oil change intervals and such, while Ferrari buyers don't. My brother sold his 911 and is hesitating on an Aston or another exotic after seeing the shop receipts. I saw stacks of Ferrari shop receipts before I owned one, said "ouch" and then bought anyway. Likely nearly every 360 owner knew what it cost to maintain the car before they signed on.
There's more than a bit of "heart over mind" involved here (seeing as this is the Ferrari Lovefest topic...) To stretch the analogy more than it might deserve, it's a bit like saying the Mona Lisa is far more expensive than quality wallpaper.
In some sense, we feel we got a "good deal" due to the intangibles.
At any rate congrats on your new 997. They are superb cars, period. If you ever need a carsitter, my references are top notch. Enjoy it.0
tsaupe1 Posts: 166Billymay, glad to hear you're enjoying the car. Without getting into the the Porsche/Ferrari thing to heavily I'll just put in my 2 cents by saying they are both great marques with very different appeal. I can't think of any two marques that are more polar opposites in approach to the same problem. Obviously, for me, I love Ferraris and appreciate Porsches and respect the reverse opinion.
Spiritinthesky, I know 328s that are pretty much daily drivers. Before my commute became an hour each way, mine was a daily car in good weather. When it isn't pouring rain, I still take it to work a couple of times a week and generally at least have it out for a few miles daily. There are a number of Ferrari models I wouldn't drive as much, but 328s are solid, drivable cars.
Anyway, congrats to both of you. Enjoy your cars!0
zak1964 Posts: 2I am a Porsche enthusiast who is looking to make the jump to Ferrari. I am looking for advice on the 360 Coupe - what to look for in buying a pre-owned 360, what I should expect to pay (2001 - 2003 model year), as well as how best to source a pre-owned 360 (delaer or private). I have been to my local Ferrari dealer on a few occassions and found them to be arrogant and generally unhelpful.
Also, any advice anyone can provide on the 430 Coupe would also be helpful, especially what I should expect to pay for a 2005/2006 version, and how best to locate one.
I am new to the Ferrari message board and appreciate any advice that you may have.0
Earlier this year, I came very clsoe to purchasing a Ferrari 360 coupe from a friend who has since received his new 430.
Frankly, I'm glad I didn't. The 360 is a very nice car, without a doubt. However, the 430 is a enormous jump in performance for a nominal increase in price. But a bigger issue than performance is daily driveability - and that's an issue for me with both models, as my prior posts indicate. Part of the reason I could have gotten the 360 at a relatively good price was that the dealership insulted my friend with a low-ball trade offer because his 360 was considered a "high mileage" car. At a whopping 28,000 miles in nearly 4 years.
If you are seriously interested in a 430, I would suggest getting on a dealer list for a new one. Another business associate paid MSRP ($175k +/-) for a 430 Coupe, Yellow/Black 6-speed manual. He was originally told it would take 2 years, he had the car less than 1 year after placing a deposit. He could sell it for a $30,000 to $50,000 premium today (the dealer currently has a 430 F1 Spider with 800 miles for $60,000 over MSRP, but it is "used" so they can freely charge whatever the market will bear). You should be able to find a reputable dealer that will stick to MSRP pricing for a new car ordered to your specs. I'm not sure what current wait times are. I had been talking to Ferrari of Washington (DC) some time back. The 6-speed had a shorter wait than an F1 and a Coupe had a shorter wait than a Spider.
Me, I decided to go with Porsche and am expecting delivery of my 2007 911 Turbo (switched from 911 S) in October/November. I epect at this time next year it will be turning 10,000 miles on the odometer.
Good luck.0

I completely agree and is THE reason why I have both :shades:0
Give a call to Michael Sheehan in LA. Website is www.ferraris-online.com. He's highly opinionated but he knows Ferraris inside and out, also races them, and he's no romantic about them---he's very sober and he'll give you advice that will allow you to make an informed decision IMO.
Prices for any used modern Ferrari are HEAVILY dependent on:
1. Mileage. Miles that are "nothing" to a Porsche's value can be crippling to a Ferrari's value. Anything over 30,000 miles and the depreciation curve gets very steep.
2. Service records. Not what the owner SAYS, but actual records of services done. No records = much lower value and much lower resale
3. Car's known history. Do NOT rely on CARFAX to tell you if the Ferrari you are thinking of buying wasn't wrapped around a pole. It's a good first start, but you should be able to trace the car's history from owner to owner and be able (hopefully) to interrogate the owner or the owner's representative about the car.
4. Inspection! Even something as seemingly minor as an oil leak can translate into a large repair bill. Remember, fan belts are $100 bucks a pop on these cars, and brakes and rotors all around, or a new clutch---that can sting. So a thorough inspection is money well well spent.
There is no used Ferrari shortage last time I looked. So take your time and talk to people who know these cars.0
I hope not but I was struck by the relative paucity of Italian Exotica at the Phoenix/Scottsdale auctions this week. Shelbys of all kinds abounded but I saw perhaps three or four Ferraris on the block. :confuse:
2000 BMW 528i, 2001 BMW 330CiC0
Wrong place to find Ferraris -- at Scottsdale. Besides, buying a modern Ferrari at auction is pretty reckless unless you actually know the car. There's lots of shady goings-on at these auctions..."the waters are filled with sharks".0
I've just posted some photos and comments on the Ferrari Enzo that was part of a collection I appraised recently.
If you haven't joined carspace yet, please do and let me know when you're "on" and we can link up there and swap Ferrari photos.0
Good advice, although 30,000 miles on a 360 is lot different than 30,000 miles on a Daytona.
Depending on which Ferrari you're looking for, Steve Barney at Sport Auto in NC might be a better bet than Sheehan. Sheehan is the man if you need a 250 SWB for Pebble Beach. Steve's the guy if you want a Ferrari to actually drive.
And belts and hoses aren't bad, in my experience. I just replaced a $9 coolant hose. However the labor to install a new timing belt can involve engine removal, holy water and a blessing from the pope.
But there's nothing like a Ferrari. I've all but forgotten about my ex-911, BMW and Benz.0
Yep, that is a fact.....there is nothing like a Ferrari, which is why people put up with them...you can't duplicate the experience, period.
I have to say though, that the Enzo seemed a bit "tame" in terms of ease of driving and sound...I'm sure the car can go way faster than my capabilities, but still, it's such a gentleman compared to the older Ferraris.0
A little late for this aren't we? The Turkish GP was months ago and in fact the 2007 F-1 season is over with Kimi Raikkonnen of Ferrari capturing the WDC and Ferrari taking the Constructor's Championship, thanks to McLaren losing all their points as a result of the court decision in the Stepneygate scandal.
Raikkonnen's WDC is subject to another court decision on McLaren's protest following the Brazilian GP. It's as much about lawyer's and judges as it is about drivers and engineers.
BTW your link is bad.

I need help for a business project identifying this vehicle. A colleague suggested Ferrari but I cannot verify. Anybody out there who can identify this vehicle? I don't see a way to attach the image in this field (adding a discussion) so please look for an image in my next post).0
Surelet us have a look at it, we can probably tell if it's a Ferrari.

Thanks. I circulated the photo at work and someone identified it as a TVR Chimaera. All I had in the photo was the front lamp and a little bit of hood. But that make and model checked out and so I've got what I need. Thanks.0
For those dying of curiosity, here's a photo of one. Doesn't look very Ferrari-esque to me, more like a knock off of a Dodge Viper:
Probably if you just saw the headlights and not the rather awkward parking light arrangement and the rear of the front fender, you might think Ferrari
Not bad looking...a little fussy....0
Well that would depend a lot on *past* service history and the mileage on the car--but if you want a very rough estimate of maintenance costs, probably $1.50 per mile is about right.
You should consult with a Ferrari shop prior to purchase---first of all, you're going to need to locate one *before* you buy the car, since without a reputable Ferrari facility, you are out in the cold. Last thing you want is someone "claiming" to be a Ferrari mechanic, without the proper training and tools.
Once the shop has laid out for you what to expect in terms of your future *major* services (usually Ferrari requires a big service at 30K, which will cost $3,000 to $6000 dollars). Many sellers of used Ferraris like to bail out just before these major services are due---leaving YOU with no chair to sit on once the music stops.
Also you'll need to have the job give the car a thorough going over prior to purchase.
Keep in mind also that high mileage Ferraris suffer enormous depreciation, and some Ferrari people contend that a 60,000 mile Ferrari is worth no more than a parts car.
So you'd best do your homework not only on service costs, but on the current market price for 360s as it relates to the mileages on the car. The rule is "whatever gets you into a Ferrari cheaper, will come back to haunt you when you service or sell".
Modern Ferraris can be wonderful, practical, reliable automobiles, but you do have to go in with eyes open. If you don't buy the right car, and be really fussy, you can end up with a ruinous purchase.0
chrisdlong Posts: 1Im looking to see if anyone would estimate the value of my car. Its a 1994 348 spider , pristine , with unheard of 2400 miles.., Any help is appreciated0
hard to say exactly without reviewing service records (low miles on a Ferrari are not necessarily a good thing) but something like $40K--$55K seems about right in today's market as a starting point. If it's been kept up and refreshed, that's good (keep all your receipts). If it's been sitting dormant for ten years, that's not so good with regards to value.
Here's a good comp, with 18,000 miles, listed for $41,000. Hope that helps.
348 Spider on eBay0
I went to several of the Scottsdale Auto Auctions this week, purely as a spectator. There were lots of spectacular and rare cars there and plenty of Ferraris both old and new.
Yesterday I had a look at this one>
The photo does not do the car justice, it was just gorgeous and looking at the year of manufacture, 1998 I could not help but think "Has it really been 15 years since they made a really good-looking Ferrari"?
2000 BMW 528i, 2001 BMW 330CiC0
Pretty car but you probably don't want one---they had a lot of teething problems. A 360 is mo' bettah and much less expensive to service. An engine rebuilt on a 355 can run you $40,000, no problem, which is 2/3rds the value of the car.0
A Ferrari 250GT California LWB Spider sold for $8.8 million @ the RM Auction in Scottsdale last week. The huge price was no surprise to experts who consider "Enzo era" Ferraris the
cream of the vintage car market.
A few years ago, Ferrari decided to use the storied California name for a new model which IMO was a huge mistake. If you had it would you spend almost $ 9million on this>
...or this?>
2000 BMW 528i, 2001 BMW 330CiC0
they had a lot of engine troubles with the new California.0

Landis also states that Armstrong in 2002 "while winning the Tour de Swiss, the month before the Tour de France, tested positive for EPO at which point he and Mr Bruyneel flew to the UCI headquarters and made a financial agreement with Mr. Verbruggen to keep the positive test hidden.†Mr Verbruggen was at that time the president of the International Cycling Union UCI.
Lance never competed in the Tour de Swiss in 2002, so how could have he tested positive? LA however did compete and win the 2001 race. Hope he got the dates wrong if not what a dick he has made of himself once again.

Guidelines for Immediate Tenure Reviews
Immediate tenure reviews are appropriate for persons being considered for faculty or academic administrative positions at the University. The immediate tenure process is not appropriate for faculty members or academic administrators already under contract.
Requests for out-of-sequence promotion and tenure reviews will not be handled by the immediate tenure review process.
College and Department Review Committees
To the extent possible, it is expected that the same college and department review committees that were appointed at the beginning of the review process will be reconvened to make recommendations in cases of immediate tenure.
University Review Committee
An Immediate Tenure Review Committee will be appointed annually consisting of former members of the University Promotion and Tenure Review Committee, divided into separate subcommittees. These individuals have considerable experience in promotion and tenure review procedures. A member of each subcommittee serves as chair and works closely with the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost in coordinating immediate tenure reviews.
The chairs of the Immediate Tenure Review Subcommittees will submit a recommendation to the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost at which time a final decision will be made. The dean will be informed of the final decision by written confirmation.
Adequate documentation must be included so that the Immediate Tenure Review Committee can make an informed judgment about tenure. Particularly when prospective faculty members are being considered, every effort should be made to obtain documentation about teaching effectiveness, such as student and peer evaluations. In cases where information about teaching effectiveness may not be available, a review of speaking engagements and guest lectureships or letters from the candidate's peers that address teaching effectiveness may provide insight. Follow-up telephone calls are encouraged and appropriate to further document teaching effectiveness.
A scanned PDF copy of the following documentation must be submitted for a candidate who is being reviewed for immediate tenure:
- The most current vita of the candidate.
- Dossiers shall include a minimum of four external letters. Letters of reference that were used in the search process are acceptable.
- Statements of evaluation and recommendations from:
- The department review committee and the department head.
- The college, Dickinson Law, Penn State Law, or the University Libraries review committee, and the dean. For immediate tenure reviews at Great Valley, the campus chancellor and the Vice President for Commonwealth Campuses.
- The campus review committee and the campus chancellor, if the individual is being considered for a faculty or administrative appointment in the University College or at Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies.
In making evaluations and recommendations, peer review committees and administrators should not feel compelled to make judgments about areas for which they have insufficient data. It is not necessary for the materials to be organized by using the usual dossier dividers and forms.
In general, reviews for immediate tenure parallel closely the processes articulated in Policy AC23 (formerly HR 23), but they are not identical to them. For example, while the candidate's achievements or potential in all three cells—teaching, research and scholarship, and service—should be addressed at all levels of review, they need not be presented in formal dossiers with dividers, nor should the promotion and tenure signature page from our formal promotion and tenure dossier be used.
Time Frame for Reviews
In most cases, University-level reviews of candidates for immediate tenure are completed in two weeks. To expedite reviews at the University level, it is helpful for the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs to be alerted to a forthcoming case.

Lipscomb-Gardner-Webb Tournament game postponed due to weather
May 23, 2008
Persistent lightning and predictions of more rain forced the postponement of Friday night's game between the Lipscomb Bisons and Gardner-Webb in the 30th edition of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament.
The game has been rescheduled for 10 a.m. CDT Saturday. Belmont and Gardner-Webb will play the next game at 3.
Friday night the start of the game was delayed due to lightning in the area before the final decision was made to postpone.
Gardner-Webb is the only undefeated team in the tournament. If there is the need for an additional game for Gardner-Webb then that game would be played on Sunday. NCAA rules prevent a team from playing three games in one day.

GENEVA – Cougars manager Mark Johnson is five years removed from his days as a major league catcher, but he still distinctly recalls his unease every time he extended his arm to call for an intentional walk.
"Every time I put my hand out and went for that intentional walk, I was like 'Oh, [crud], I hope he throws it to me," Johnson said. "I was always prepared to jump, to dive, to do whatever. Because you never know – pitchers are not used to throwing soft."
Clinton reliever Mark Bordonaro underscored that point much to the Cougars' liking on Saturday night, throwing a wild pitch high and wide for ball four of an intentional walk of Rock Shoulders. That allowed Gioskar Amaya to scamper home from third base with what turned out to be the winning run in the Cougars' 7-6 victory.
The wild pitch occurred with two outs and Amaya on third in the bottom of the eighth, and the score tied at 6.
It was perhaps a fitting turning point for a zany night in which the Cougars showed plenty of fight in front of 11,139 fans at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark. That started with their manager.
Johnson was ejected at the end of the fifth inning after a ferocious protest of an apparently blown at home plate.
A frame-by-frame photo sequence of the play to end the fifth appeared to show that the Cougars' Jeimer Candelario beat a tag attempt from LumberKings catcher Marcus Littlewood, but home plate umpire Clinton Vondrak called Candelario out.
Candelario leapt into the air in disbelief, while Johnson charged down the third base line to vigorously dispute the call. Not long after, he was ejected, prompting Johnson to fling his helmet to the ground in disgust. The call temporarily kept the score knotted at 3.
"That's all I was watching, was his hand and the plate," Johnson said. "I thought I had a great vantage point. I thought I saw him touch the plate, and it was an outstanding slide by Candy."
Johnson said there are no lingering hard feelings on his end, and called Vondrak a quality umpire.
"We just disagreed on it," Johnson said. "[Stuff] happens."
Johnson ended up watching a heck of a comeback from upstairs, as the Cougars employed clutch, two-out hitting to notch three runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the score at 6.
Then, in the bottom of the eighth, Amaya led off with a double to left and was bunted to third by center fielder Oliver Zapata. Candelario then popped out on the infield for the second out before Clinton's attempt to intentionally walk Shoulders (2 for 3, RBI) backfired.
The drama wasn't over.
The LumberKings (60-63, 27-27) squandered a leadoff double in the top of the ninth off Cougars reliever Michael Hamann, who then induced consecutive line-outs to right field before making a slick stab of Martin Peguero's comeback grounder to close the game.
Hamann (2-2) said Cougars pitching coach Ron Villone works on fielding hard come-backers with the pitchers.
"We just use kind of a sponge ball, and honestly he just rears back and hits them as hard as he can, so we actually practice something like that from time to time," Hamann said.
Catcher Carlos Escobar put the Cougars (50-69, 20-33 second half) on top with a two-run double in the bottom of the first, and the Cougars led 3-0 before allowing Clinton to catch up in the top of the fifth.
In addition to Shoulders, Giuseppe Papaccio and Zapata had two hits apiece for the Cougars in the first game of a seven-game homestand.
Cougars starting pitcher Michael Heesch, of Crystal Lake, pitched six innings of three-run ball, allowing six hits with three walks and a strikeout.
Note: Johnson said there still is no timetable for star center fielder Albert Almora to receive an MRI needed to assess his groin injury, as well as "everything following it."
With little more than two weeks left in the season, that means it's possible Almora's days playing for the Cougars are over.
"You've got to look at the big picture with him, and there are 17 days left," Johnson said. "It's something you want to be careful with. It's not like a minor injury. It's not a major injury by any means, but it's something you've got to really look out for him and his best interests.
"Whatever it is has got to calm down, and when it calms down we'll take another picture and see what's doing."
Almora's injury has been described as a bruised bone in his groin. The Cubs' top draft pick from 2012 has been on the disabled list since Aug. 6. He is batting .329 with 17 doubles in 61 games after joining the team in May in the aftermath of breaking a bone in his hand during spring training.

Product Description
Dark Green marble features a dark green and black pattern with light veins. It is recommended for interior projects including flooring, countertops and walls.
Marble stone is formed from limestone, superheated to form its unique crystalline structure. Our marble countertop selection is unmatched with over 50 marble color options and patterns to choose from. Marble countertop surfaces are timeless with their classic beauty and elegance. If you are looking for a surface to sustain through the ages, this natural stone countertop material is perfect for you. Its naturally cool temperature is pleasing for cooking as well as keeping any workspaces temperature controlled.
From ancient history, mankind has had an ongoing love affair with all things marble. Why not have marble in your kitchen in the form of marble countertops?
Marble carries with it the weight of its legacy, but now owning a marble countertop is not limited to the wealthy. That is because not all marble countertops need to be quarried slab marble; there are cultured marble countertops that are more within the affordable range for the rest of us.
And if seamless slab or cultured marble are unaffordable, homeowners can always find a ready solution by using marble tiles instead. Owning a marble countertop is now within the reach of the middle-class.
Where Do Marble Countertops Get Their "Look"?
One of the best qualities of marble countertops is the variety of color and veining. Laminate and solid surface countertops (i.e., Formica or Corian brands, respectively) all attempt to reproduce the beauty of marble, yet with mixed results.
Marble is a metamorphic rock, which means it changes from its original, sedimentary form (in this case, limestone or dolomite rock) to marble under severe pressure and heat. That highly distinctive aspect of marble–the veining–is the result of impurities in the original limestone. Under extreme pressure and heat, the original materials completely re-crystallize. The purest marble is white, type that Renaissance artists carved into statues.
Cultured Marble Countertops
If you want the marble look but not the marble price, a viable and cost-effective avenue is the cultured marble countertop.Cultured marble counters are made of crushed marble and a manufactured thermoplastic resin, and poured into pre-cast molds to suit your project. Unlike natural marble, the resins in cultured marble lend non-porosity to the material.
That means that stains on cultured marble countertops are of less of a concern than natural marble counters. Cultured marble countertops have a gloss or flat finish, and can come with integral sinks or allow for a drop-in sink.
Can you DIY-install a cultured marble counter? Absolutely. With minimal tools, any homeowner should be able to install the cultured countertop. Natural slab tops are simply too heavy and require more specialized tools and procedures to install. Cultured countertops are custom one-off products: no two are exactly alike, and the varieties available are more or less made to order. Some varieties include onyx, granite, two-toned, and can be made with fancy inlays. Cultured marble countertops are cheaper than solid surface (such as Corian), but more expensive than laminate (such as Formica), and provide a more affordable solution to those looking for the beauty of marble without the price tag. One drawback: this surface is prone to scratching, and is not heat resistant. You can't use it in the kitchen for these reasons, but they excel in bathrooms.
Advantages of Marble Countertops
There are plenty of reasons why man- and womankind over the centuries have valued marble as a practical surface, not just for marble countertops, but for other uses:
- Fancy Details – Marble countertops can be fabricated to have fancy ogee edges (as well as other profile styles), due to the softness and overall workability of marble.
- Cutting – If you've worked with marble tiles, for instance, they cut easier than granite, which is prone to chip more easily. Marble cuts like a dream. This allows for fancier design capabilities without the fear of damage, relative to other types of stone.
- Decent Durability – Even with marble's inherent "softness," it is still hard enough to withstand high traffic.
- Resists Heat – It's an ideal work surface. It is also heat resistance, lending itself well to kitchen use.
Disadvantages of Marble Countertops
Marble countertops have many disadvantages, too. It is not just the cost of marble countertops that stalls many homeowners' dreams, but some practical issues such as:
- Scratches – Scratches tend to be more of an issue with polished marble. As a natural mineral, there are varieties of marble with varying degrees of hardness, but scratches are a pretty common concern, particularly in kitchen applications.
- Staining – Due to its softness or porosity, its also more of a pain to service as staining can be an issue. Certain foods, especially on the acidic side, can result in permanent stains. Sealing the marble countertop and keeping up with sealing on a regular (usually annual, though more frequent if you are an avid cook) helps mitigate staining.
- Repairs – Repairs on marble countertops are not simple, unless the countertop is marble tile. In the case of marble tiles, you simply replace the damaged tile. Replacing a marble tile individually–without affecting surrounding tiles–is a painstaking task that you may want to leave in the hands of professional tile installers. The good news is that the cost of replacing one or two tiles is minimal.
Should You Install Marble Countertops? Words of Advice
With all of these concerns, you may be asking yourself if installing marble countertops is a smart choice. That question can be answered in a couple of ways.
- Appearance – Do you like the way marble looks? Do you enjoy the statement that marble makes? If yes, then the concerns of scratching and staining can be addressed by taking a little more care with the surface, being careful not to use the countertop as a cutting surface, and sealing it regularly (as the sealants wear off over time).
- Maintenance – If you can discipline yourself to properly maintain your marble countertops, then you can be the proud owner of timelessly beautiful marble countertops. If your love for the warm and unique appearance of marble outweighs the minimal maintenance required, then it's worth it. Marble maintains its value, and adds equity to any home or office.
Strength and Scratch Resistence of Marble
While some marble can be very hard and vitreous, like granite or ceramic tile, much marble can be easily scratched and stained.
Because of its tendency to stain and scratch, marble countertops in kitchens and bathrooms is not always the most practical choice. Not only that, marble is so porous and absorbent that it will soak up stains that are almost impossible to clean.
However, with proper sealing and maintenance, marble can be made to work for countertops. Often, homeowners look at this issue holistically: marble's attractive appearance and value as a property value generator may outweigh the practical concerns.
So, marble is often a good choice for walls. But if you're installing it on floors you need to make sure that it is resilient enough to withstand foot traffic.
The Colors of Marble
Marble is limestone that has been pressed by the earth's pressure to produce a hard substance of crystals and beautiful lines and colors. Marble can have nearly any coloring, from blacks to white, and with a number of fantastic colors in between such as green and pink.
Grout Choices for Marble Floors
If you are installing lighter colored marble, you will want to use grout that is of a matching color or lighter in color. With most natural stone, you do not want to use dark or gray colored grout because such grout detracts from the beauty of the marble. A floor made of 12 inch square tiles, with just the right shading of grout, can take on the appearance of a single slab of marble instead of individual tiles—provided, that is the look you are aiming for.
Installation of Marble
Think twice before installing your own marble tile. Natural stone is a difficult medium to work with, and that is why there have been professionals for thousands of years who specialize precisely in this. One problem is that marble is so expensive: you really do not want to make any mistakes.
But as with any kind of tiling work, the real work concerns those pieces that must be cut. Any pieces that can be installed full size are easy enough to work with. In fact, marble counters (not floors) can be installed simply with silicone caulk squeezed onto the countertop sub strata: much easier than working with thinset mortar.
At the very least, if you are cutting your own marble you will need to buy or rent what is called a wet saw. Your ordinary Skilsaw will not be able to take on the job.

No Gov't Waste? They're Spending Money on Giant Rocks in Nevada
By Brian Darling
Yesterday, I wrote about the House-passed bill H.R. 2887, which would reauthorize expiring aviation and surface transportation programs for a few months.
Senator Tom Coburn (R–OK) is expected to offer an amendment to remove a mandate that forces states to waste 10 percent of all Federal Highway Administration money on something called Transportation Enhancements (TE). TE is a program run by the Department of Transportation to force states to build bike paths, "highway beautification," and transportation museums.
From my blog post:
In the past, federal funds have been used by states to build animal highways for salamanders, frogs, and turtles. And liberals say there is little waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. In defense of the states, they are forced—as a condition of receiving money to build and repair actual highways for people—to spend about 10 percent of all federally received funds on such silly enhancement projects.
Add rocks and plants to that list.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D–NV) home state has used federal highway money to put "great big granite boulders" next to a highway interchange to make it look nice. One could argue that highway beautification is dangerous, because drivers are distracted by nice boulders and flowers on the roadside when they are supposed to be concentrating on driving.
In 2008, Nevada received transportation money with $6.2 million set aside for bike paths and boulders. According to KTNV in Las Vegas, $498,000 in federal funding went for "decorative rocks, native plants, some pavement graphics, a few walls, and some great big granite boulders" to make Las Vegas's 215 beltway look nice.
That's not the end of it: The Nevada Department of Transportation paid another $319,000 to spruce up another interchange with rocks and plants.
According to the National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse, Nevada has received $46.7 million for pedestrian/bike paths, $14.5 million for highway landscaping/scenic beautification, and $6.6 million for rehabilitation/operation of historic transportation buildings from fiscal years (FY) 1992 through 2010.
The numbers nationally are staggering. A report titled Transportation Enhancement Spending Report: Analysis of the States' Use of Federal Funding, dated May 2011, found $12.5 billion of your tax dollars in highway funds for projects other than highways:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Spending Report explains how states spent nearly $12.5 billion in Transportation Enhancement (TE) funds from fiscal year (FY) 1992 through the end of FY 2010.
Want a common-sense idea? Stop placing boulders near highways in Nevada using precious tax dollars.

WagnerBrewery brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 42 Designs von 18 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Visit http://charleswagner.net/moveneutral to get an idea of the site and product that will be deployed. We need a logo that will look good on a 4 inch by 4 inch sticker and will look good on our website.
Please read the full description for more information.
(Only for Sticker) Carbon Neutral Certified Vehicle 2008
Desired Color Scheme:
People need to be able to read it from a distance on a sticker. This means bright lettering. Check our demo website http://charleswagner.net/moveneutral for the website color scheme.
Desired Style:
Mature, Simple, Beutiful - Feel free to ask me if you have questions.
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
We need a logo that is going to go on a sticker to sell on our website. Here is a link to the staging website we have so far.
The website will be launched at moveneutral.com
Please click around on the website to get an idea of what we are doing.
We want a logo that describes carbon neutrality at first glance. We then want to wrap the logo with some legible text for the sticker.
I am sure you are a creative designer so I want you to have some freedom, but here are some ideas we have thrown around.
1. A dark vehicle with a green vine growing out of the tail pipe.
- This would need to look simple and be obvious.
2. A steering wheel that looks like nature.
Again, please feel free to come up with your own ideas. Feel free to ask me about them if you want to get my opinion before you spend time on it.
I am including a sticker in this contest. The reason is that the logo's most important function will be showing off that a vehicle is carbon neutral certified. It also should be very easy to design the sticker once you have the logo. It will just need to be a black background with some white text and the logo.
For starters the sticker text should say:
"This Vehicle Is Certified Carbon Neutral"
It should include the year "2008". It must be visible, but does not necessarily need to be overwhelming.
It also should include the website name "moveneutral.com" .
To keep your creative mind buzzing... here is the direction we are trying to take it.
Have you ever seen the W The President sticker?
Check out: http://photos16.flickr.com/20171576…bfc230.jpg
It is brilliant marketing. Super simple and easy to understand. We are trying to explain a much harder concept. Not everyone knows what carbon neutrality is. In fact, most people don', and we are trying to advertise our site at the same time.
We want the logo to be professional and mature enough that young and old people will find it attractive.
It would also be great if we had a version of the sticker that looks like a sticker so we can place it on the website. ( NOT NECESSARY)
Things Not To Do
No Bevels - This should not look like something that came from the movie minority report.
No Acronyms - Though the W sticker mentioned is an acronym an acronym won't work for us. We need a picture that tells 1000 words.
Thanks so much for considering this contest. We are trying to do something good here. Feel free to contact me at any time (day or night) if you have any questions.
-- I am setting the contest length to 10 days, but will close it early if I get a great design.
Again, Feel free to call or email me with any time with questions.

BOCA RATON, Fla. (May 12, 2006) - Top-seeded Stetson tacked on a pair of runs in both the fourth and fifth innings on its way to downing the resurgent ETSU softball team, 5-2, on Friday evening at FAU Softball Stadium. The Lady Bucs end the 2006 campaign with a 22-36 overall mark, while the Hatters move to 44-15, going into tomorrow's Atlantic Sun championship game.
The Hatters claimed the early lead in the first, when an Andrea Migliori single scored Laura Whalen, putting Stetson up, 1-0. Whalen was pinch runner for A-Sun Player of the Year Melissa Wiggins, who had doubled to center.
Junior Stephanie Gaynord (
Stetson began the fourth with a single from Nicole Forbes, followed by an RBI-triple from Lindsay Wightman. Wightman would score the eventual game winner on an ETSU fielding error, giving the Hatters the 3-1 advantage.
ETSU chipped away at the Hatter lead in its half of the fourth, starting with a one-out single from A-Sun All-Freshmen selection Mary Catherine Vercoe (Signal Mountain, Tenn.). Pinch runner Tori Gast (
The Hatters crossed another pair of runs in the fifth, thanks to a two-run homer from Migliori. Stetson managed a total of nine hits on the game.
Courtney Jenkins (
A-Sun Freshman of the Year Erica Demers claimed the win for the Hatters, allowing just four hits and one earned run in 7.0 innings in the circle.
Seniors Janine Sprague (Hillsborough, N.C.) and Lonsinger also finished their ETSU tenures on Friday.

Well, we certainly don't use phrasal verbs to make it easier for non-English speakers to learn the language. Also, although take off your clothes pretty much means the same thing as undress, it does not mean the same thing as remove. Also, walk up to the door does not, I think, mean the same thing as approach the door.Originally Posted by dodgerfan2002

South Fulton, Tenn.
While being a double major in political science and public relations sounds difficult, Mark Maloney accepted the challenge. The summer following his freshman year, Maloney landed an internship for a political campaign.
As Maloney likes to say, "If your heart beats for it, go for it." And as a double major in political science and public relations, there is no doubt that he means what he says.
With his father working in the textile industry, Maloney's family moved around often. For three years, Maloney lived with his family in Honduras. He has also lived in Athens, Ga., Hattiesburg, Miss., and now resides in South Fulton. After moving around with his family through most of his childhood, Maloney had a good idea of what he was looking for in a college.
Maloney enjoyed UT Martin's small campus and closeness to home, but now that he has completed his freshman year, he has discovered the greater potential that UT Martin offers for his future.
"To say that college is different from high school is the understatement of the century. It's been a crazy, wild ride. I mean, I've learned so much and made so many relationships already on campus and with the internship I've been doing," said Maloney, who spent his summer interning for the Eric Stewart congressional campaign. He continued, "I never expected that. I never expected that the summer of my freshman year I'd be working on a national level with something that important. It's because of UT Martin. I wouldn't trade it for the world."
The summer after his freshman year, Maloney fell into his first internship working for the Eric Stewart congressional campaign. The internship combined both his love for political science and public relations.
It was through connections Maloney made at UT Martin that helped him land his internship. UT Martin alumnus, Kevin Teets, campaign coordinator for the Eric Stewart congressional campaign, contacted Maloney's fraternity seeking out help with the campaign. And as his chapter's communications coordinator, Maloney was a great fit for the position.
In his internship, Maloney was responsible for calling voters, asking them questions, and filling out surveys accordingly.
"People say you get the telemarketer experience or people hang up right away. But actually, they pose a lot of questions and as a political science major, that speaks to me."
Thanks to his experiences through his summer internship, Maloney has a better idea of what he would like to do with his degrees. Working for the campaign combined his passion for political science and his interests in public relations.
"Now, what I really want to do is work with campaigns, work with the United States government on a greater level," said Maloney.

Huge (and we mean HUGE) news for Phillip Lim fans: the 3.1 Phillip Lim collection for Target has just hit stores. That means staying super stylish with Lim's animal prints, sparkle accents and sweater dresses while keeping our bank accounts looking great too.
We love Target, affordable finds and of course, Lim's fashion sense, so the news has us beyond excited.

But TBF to the rescue. No need to deal with the crowds and chaos. Take a look at our fave items from the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection, all under $50. Work it, girl!

Niantic River scallops not on this year's menu as population drops
Waterford - Formerly a staple of the southeastern Connecticut seafood harvest, Niantic River scallops are now increasingly rare, even in the waters that once bore them in bounty. The diminished population of the mollusks led the Waterford-East Lyme Shellfish Commission Thursday night to decide to not sell permits or open this year's scallop season.
The commission, which is made up of Waterford, East Lyme and Niantic residents, came to the decision "reluctantly," commission member Eric N. Kanter said.
"Due to the short life cycle of bay scallops, natural factors, and possibly the heavy rainfall at the beginning of the summer, the population is just not there," Kanter said in an email. "The wardens and commissioners searched diligently for scallops but found only a few."
Peter D. Harris, commission chairman, said the commission did not want to open the season and accept payment from fishermen for permits, only to have the population of scallops be a disappointment.
"If we sell permits, we want them to be able to go out and harvest scallops," Harris said. "We think it would be inappropriate to sell permits when we know the scallop stock is limited."
Two years ago, the commission sold permits and allowed scallop harvesting in the Niantic River for the first time in about a decade, Harris said. Last year was a particularly successful season, spurring a renewed interest in non-commercial scallop fishing."There was a lot of enthusiasm and people were all excited for this year," Harris said. "It's unfortunate. When we went out in August and September and didn't see many scallops, it was a big disappointment."
Jon Hillyer, the third-generation owner of Hillyer's Tackle Shop in Mago Point, said he's been fielding calls from fishermen who hoped the scallop season would open soon.
"The phone has been ringing quite a bit with people inquiring about permits," Hillyer, himself a scallop fisherman, said. "A lot of people heard about how good it was last year and they wanted to get back into it and jump on the bandwagon."
Hillyer said his business saw a boost in sales from scallop fishermen buying nets, spotters and long gloves last year.
"We've been without (a scallop season) for so long that to have a year like last year was unexpected," Hillyer said. "They're very fragile. Everything needs to be just right and there's a lot that comes into play."
One theory on the declining population, Harris said, suggests that scallops are susceptible to fluctuations in salinity caused by an influx of fresh water. "We had many heavy rainfalls that pushed a lot of fresh water into the river, so that may have caused the scallop population to decline," he said. "Scallops are somewhat mobile, so they could have left the river and gone out into the bay where the salinity is more stable."
Niantic River scallops were once plentiful and were a delicacy popular on restaurant menus as far away as California, Hillyer said. "I've lived on the river for 52 years, and back in the day, when we first moved here in the '60s, the scallops were plentiful," commission member Fred Grimsey said. "It was amazing; you'd go out and in a couple of hours you'd get your quota."
Hillyer said that, for him and many others, scallop fishing was a family activity in the 1960s and '70s. That tradition, he said, helped spark the scallop fishing resurgence of the past two seasons.
"It seems to be deep-set in people," he said. "I think it means a lot to a lot of people to be able to go."
Despite the setback of a canceled season and the uncertainty about what has caused the diminished population, Harris said the commission will continue to stock the river with seed scallops, as it does each year, in hopes of seeing the popular mollusk bounce back.
"We have always wanted to return to the famous years where there were so many scallops out there, but I think there are a lot of factors that have to come into play," Harris said. "We were very eager to try and have another successful season, but unfortunately that's not the case."

An runaway inflatable slide injured three people during an Independence Day celebration in Sparks, Nev., after wind pulled the slide from its tethers just as the final safety checks were being conducted.
The slide -- which rose 300 feet in the air and knocked down lamp posts -- is just the latest inflatable to cause injuries after being ripped from the ground by high winds.
In May a flyaway inflatable bounce house led to two children being hospitalized after they became trapped when the house became unmoored and rolled across a park. Earlier this year another bounce house went airborne with children inside.
According to experts these incidents aren't isolated but part of a scary trend of children are being injured in bounce houses.
A study released in 2012 in the journal Pediatrics found that the number of children injured in bounce houses had doubled from 2008 to 2010, when 11,300 kids were injured. That number is also 16 times the number of kids injured in 1995. The majority of those injured had broken bones followed by bumps and bruises and concussions.
That "equals a child every 46 minutes nationally," wrote the authors from the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "This epidemic increase highlights the urgency of addressing the prevention of inflatable bouncer-related injuries among children."
Dr. Gary Smith, a pediatrician and president of Child Injury Prevention Alliance, worked on the 2012 study and said he believes that the increase in injuries was due to a sudden increase in popularity for the inflatables. Smith also said he expects the inflatables have only continued to increase in popularity since the study was published.
"That's an epidemic by any definition," Smith told ABC News. "If this was an infectious disease it would be on the front page of every newspaper in the country."
Smith said one difficulty in keeping children safe is that there are many kinds of bounce houses and inflatable slides and few regulations to ensure safety. Smith called the inflatables "a broad target" for regulators.
"[The federal government's] Consumer Product Safety Association have recommendations [but] they are very concerned about this," Smith said. "They're very keen to take a look at this that they might step in and make some stronger recommendations."
Smith isn't saying parents should never let their kids set foot in a bouncy castle again, instead he recommends parents use good judgment. He says only children of similar size and age should use the device at one time.
If it's a professionally run operation he says parents can ask the operator about their training and experience. Additionally if there's any kind of wind, Smith advises parents to steer their kid away from the bouncy castle or slide.
More information about bounce house safety can be found here.

Description: Bill Burke, who was honored as a Master Smith June 2008, creates hunting knives and culinary knives. His work is frequently noted as being among the best in the world -- both in his understanding of design and the keen, long lasting edges. His knives are a pleasure to hold and a joy to use.
This high performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is well suited for slicing vegetables and meats. The gentle arc of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking, chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
The blade was hand forged in a technique known as san mai. A dramatic damascus is forged to the sides of a high performance SG2 PM stainless steel. The bright, swirling pattern created from stainless steel and nickel is offset by the darkened SG2 core.
The traditional Japanese half-octagon handle is formed from enju wood with front and rear ferrules of very rare blond buffalo horn. The ambidextrous handle is octagonal at the top and rounded at the base, resulting in a comfortable, ambidextrous, elegant shape that is pleasing to the eye and hand. The handle affords ergonomic control and comfort -- even when used for many hours. This handle shape, while being different from Western handles quickly becomes a favorite. The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand.

CLINTON, N.Y. -- Juniors Evan Bunker (Topsfield, Mass.) and Ben Crick (Middlebury, Conn.) ran for more than 100 yards apiece as Trinity College remained undefeated with a 53-14 win against Hamilton College in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) action at Hamilton's Steuben Field on Oct. 6.

It was the most rushing yards in a game for the Continentals since Brandon Holtslag '08 went for 230 yards in a 51-48 overtime victory against Bowdoin College on Oct. 16, 2004.
Hamilton sophomore Jeff Hopsicker started behind center and was 4 of 10 for 23 yards with two interceptions.

Tim Costello '13 added the extra-point for a 14-0 lead.
Trinity found the end zone four times in the second quarter. Senior Andrew Grombala (Cincinnatti, Ohio) caught a 17-yard pass from Burgess with 13:39 left and sophomore Michael Budness (Belchertown, Mass.) punched it in from the 1 with 9:50 remaining. A bad snap led to a missed extra-point and a 27-0 advantage. Crick scored on an 11-yard run with 6:10 left and Bunker scampered into the end zone from 6 yards out with 2:34 remaining.
Crick's 3-yard touchdown run with 1:32 left in the third were the only points of the quarter. Stanell scored on a 3-yard run to put Hamilton on the scoreboard with 12:35 remaining in the fourth. Hoy added the extra-point.
Foye found sophomore Will Herbert (Winchester, Mass.) for an 8-yard touchdown and a 53-7 cushion with 6:58 left. The PAT sailed wide to the left. Sophomore Dillon Mitchell rounded out the scoring for the Continentals with a 6-yard TD catch from Eck with 2:23 remaining.

Farewell Punks
Punk's Backyard Grill — Bay Weekly's Best of the Bay award for Best Bang-for-Your-Buck — ends its four-year run at Westfield Annapolis Mall. The independent, creative-concept restaurant received an eviction notice last week after failing to reach settlement on rent negotiations, owner Dave McCabe told Bay Weekly.
The young owners hope to stay local and try again. Fingers crossed that their barbeque, lamb burgers and craft beer reappear in the near future.
