ELVIN HAYES - Founding Class Member
The Big E, as he was known to Cougar fans, is Houston's all-time leading scorer (2,884) and rebounder (1,602) and averaged an astounding 31 points and 17.2 rebounds per game for his career from 1965-68. He arrived on campus as one of the first two African-American basketball players for coach Guy V. Lewis and led the Cougars to an 81-12 record. He took Houston to the school's first two NCAA Final Four appearances in 1967 and 1968. Sandwiched in between heartbreaking NCAA semifinal losses to UCLA was the "Game of the Century." On January 20, 1968, Hayes scored 39 points and grabbed 15 rebounds as Houston defeated No. 1-ranked UCLA and snapped the Bruins' 47-game winning streak. Played in the Houston Astrodome, the game was the first nationally televised regular-season contest and was played before a record-breaking crowd of 53,000 spectators. Hayes is the only three-time All-American in school history and was the 1968 national player of the year.
XAVIER McDANIEL
X, as he was known to Shocker fans, was the first player in NCAA history to lead the nation in both scoring (27.2 points per game) and rebounding (14.8 rebounds per game) as a senior in 1985. McDaniel finished his career as the school's all-time leading rebounder (1,359) and was second in scoring (2,152). Playing for Wichita State from 1981-85, McDaniel was a first-team Associated Press and United States Basketball Writers Association All-American as a senior. He was the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year in both 1984 and 1985. He had nine career 20-point/20-rebound games – most in school history – and led the Shockers to two NCAA tournament appearances
TOM McMILLEN
McMillen led Maryland to a 73-17 record in the early 1970s. He averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds for his career. He was a first-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference player twice and was the most valuable player of the 1972 National Invitation Tournament championship game – a 100-69 victory over Niagara. McMillen, a 6' 11" power forward/center, was a member of the 1972 United States Olympic team that won a silver medal after a controversial finish in the gold-medal game against Russia. He went on to be a Rhodes Scholar and served as a U.S. Congressman from 1987-93.
Johnson, a 6' 7" forward, averaged 14 points and eight rebounds per game in his career. He helped lead John Wooden's 1975 Bruin team to an NCAA title with a win over Kentucky. It was Wooden's 10th NCAA title. He retired following the season and was replaced by College Basketball Hall of Famer Gene Bartow. Johnson was the consensus national player of the year his senior year when he averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds. .
Grambling's Hopkins averaged 30 points and 17 rebounds a game for the Tigers from 1953-56. He was a two-time National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics All-American under Eddie Robinson – who was not only Grambling's football coach but also the Tigers' basketball coach at the time – and was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame in 1961. Hopkins is Grambling's all-time scoring and rebounding leader and led the Tigers to two conference championships.
After spending two seasons in his first head coaching job at Western Kentucky, Keady spent 25 years at the helm of Purdue, where he compiled a 512-270 overall record to become the school's all-time winningest coach. Keady was voted the national coach of the year four times (1984, 1995, 1996, 2000). He was the Big Ten coach of the year seven times, leading the Boilermakers to the conference championship five times. He was a three-sport letter-winner at Kansas State, playing football and baseball in addition to running track. Keady is currently a special advisor to head coach Steve Lavin at St. John's.
Massimino coached for 30 years at the NCAA level. He began his coaching career at Stony Brook where he compiled a 34-16 record in two years. His next stop was at Villanova, where he spent 19 years as the Wildcats' coach and amassed 357 wins. Massimino's 1984-85 Villanova team defeated conference rival Georgetown in the NCAA championship game in one of the greatest upsets in tournament history. In addition to the national title, Massimino's teams won five conference championships and received 12 NCAA tournament bids. He went on to coach at UNLV and Cleveland State for nine years. He currently coaches Northwood University in West Palm Beach, Florida.
As the current director of international basketball for Nike, Raveling has traveled all over the world to promote the game of college basketball. The Villanova graduate has deep roots in college coaching. As the head coach at Washington State, he led the Cougars to two NCAA tournament berths in 11 seasons. He then led Iowa to back-to-back 20-win seasons and two NCAA berths. Raveling ended his coaching career at Southern California from 1987-94 where he led the Trojans to NCAA tournament appearances in 1991 and 1992. Raveling was an assistant coach on the 1984 U.S. Olympic team that won a gold medal in Los Angeles.
Killian has advanced the sport of college basketball internationally through his involvement as president of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and as a member of the International Olympic Committee. The Ohio Northern graduate spent his early years coaching high school and junior college basketball. He has also served as president of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and has been inducted into the National Junior College Athletic Association's baseball coaches hall of fame and basketball hall of fame. Killian has served as secretary-treasurer of the U.S. Track and Field Federation as well as serving on boards of directors for the governing bodies of U.S. basketball, gymnastics and wrestling. Most recently, he served as president of the International University Sports Federation (FISU), sponsor of the World University Games.
The 1962-63 Loyola basketball team overcame tremendous racial pressures to defeat heavily favored Cincinnati in the NCAA championship game. For the first time in the game's history, seven of the 10 starters on the court at the beginning of the game were black. Down by 15 in their first-ever NCAA tournament appearance, the Ramblers climbed back into the game and won on a buzzer-beater by Vic Rouse in overtime. Along the way, they defeated two all-white teams, including Mississippi State, which ignored a court order and traveled to play the game against Loyola.
"The Class of 2013 includes some of the smartest and strongest players of the game, loyal coaches and influential contributors, many of whom are still integrally involved in the college game," said Reggie Minton, Deputy Executive Director of the NABC and chair of the Hall of Fame selection panel. "And to be able to induct an entire team based on its ground-breaking impact makes this class special as well."
In 2006 the first class was inducted into the newly formed National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. That class included the game's inventor, James Naismith, and possibly its greatest coach in John Wooden. Since that time, five more classes have traveled to Kansas City for a weekend of festivities. Those classes have included the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Danny Manning, Larry Bird and Earvin "Magic" Johnson.

We Are Knox...
Jennifer Templeton
Associate Professor of Biology
At Knox Since: 2001
Jennifer Templeton joined the Knox faculty in 2000, sharing an appointment
with James Mountjoy, with whom she co-directed the Associated Colleges
of the Midwest's study abroad program in Tanzania in 2003. She received her bachelor's and master's degrees at Queens University and her Ph.D. at Concordia University in Montreal. Templeton researches behavior ecology and social learning in non-human animals.
Why Knox?
After being a visiting professor at Bowdoin College in Maine and Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania, I knew I wanted to work at a small, private college that had bright students, as well as the opportunity to carry out research and to involve students in that research. I also wanted to work at a college that was supportive of academic couples. I found all this, plus a great community of friends, at Knox.
What is your most memorable moment at Knox?
Not really a moment, and not really at Knox . . . traveling to Tanzania with other Knox professors as part of a global studies program in 2003. We got to know each other really well while on safari, camping amongst the lions and elephants. A hyena even stole Laura Lane's leather sandals from outside her tent!
Please describe your current research? What is most interesting about this research?
One area of my research is the study of lateralization in avian brains. Lateralization is the specialization of each hemisphere for particular skills, such as visual discrimination abilities and spatial memory. Birds are excellent animals for the study of lateralization because information entering each eye goes to the opposite brain hemisphere. This means that you can study lateralization simply by covering one of the bird's eyes. What is most interesting about this is that if a bird learns something using one eye (say, where it just hid a piece of food), it is completely unable to find the food if it uses the other eye!
If you weren't a professor, you would be a . . . ?
Scientific illustrator, perhaps.

After the disappointment on Championship Weekend, New England Patriots fans may not be all that enthused for the big game this Sunday. But it turns out, Rhode Islanders have a dog in the race after all.
The Super Bowl isn't the only big game this weekend, and dog lovers in Rhode Island have a big reason to cheer on Super Sunday. Before the big dogs kick off at 6:30 p.m., the little pups get their moment in the sun in Puppy Bowl IX on Animal Planet at 3 p.m. Sunday, reports BostInno.com, a Boston-based news publication.
Three young pups from Furever Dachshund Rescue next door in North Smithfield will be battling it out on the gridiron Sunday at 3 p.m. — Sally, a 12-week-old Dachshund/Basset Hound mix; Copper, a nine-week-old Dachshund/English Pit Bull mix; and Harry, a 12-week-old Chocolate Dachshund.
Animal Planet released the full 2013 lineup for the Puppy Bowl this week. It includes 34 dogs on the roster, each living in a shelter from across the country. If witnessing the cuddly cuteness Sunday inspires you to bring home a furry friend of your own, visit Furever Dachshund Rescue or one of these local shelters: Cranston Animal Shelter, Warwick Animal Shelter.

MANATEE Citizens trooped to the polls in droves Tuesday, many before the 7 a.m. opening, despite threatening skies and rain in some areas.
At the Harvest United Methodist Church precinct in Lakewood Ranch, David Reese was first in line to vote at 6 a.m., and first to cast his ballot, finishing at 7:06 a.m.
Reese was one of many and crammed into the foyer of the massive church before the precinct opened for business.
You should get a photo inside, its a zoo, one woman remarked as she left the precinct, perhaps not realizing that poll workers dont allow the press inside.
Another voter walked out of the precinct, threw his arms in the air, and said, Ive waited four years to do that.
Dean and Kamla Long paused at the entrance of the church after voting, to take a photo marking the occasion.
She is a first-time voter, Dean Long said of his Trinidad-born wife.
It was much the same at Provident Orthodox Presbyterian Church, just south of Bradenton, where a line of voters stretched out to the parking lot.
Carmen Wiersema came to the precinct with her two young sons, John Henry, 5, and James, 15 months, at about 7 a.m.
It took her about 40 minutes to get through the line and mark her ballot, she said.
Were super busy everywhere, said Bob Sweat, supervisor of elections. Were keeping them moving, but weve got continuous lines. Some voters took advantage of rain to avoid lines.
Umbrellas up and rain coats on, Holmes Beach voters stepped around and over puddles to cast their ballots at St. Bernard Catholic Church.
Ive not heard one person who said they got out of line or didnt go vote because of that, Sweat said of the morning shower. Some precincts set up extra tables for voting areas and to keep people out of the rain.
Leni Hagen said she was happy for the rain because there was not a line pressuring her to rush through her ballot.
Its a relief to vote for president. I have mixed emotions feeling anticipation and anxious, Hagen said. Im very hopeful that whoever wins, there will be more cooperation with the Senate and House to accomplish objectives.
Hagen said she researched Florida amendments before coming to the polls, but wished she knew more background on state Supreme Court and District 2 Court of Appeals judges facing retention votes.
Sweat said the 12 amendments listed on the ballot are causing longer lines at some locations.
You can vote the regular ballot in three minutes, he said. It takes 30 minutes on the amendments if they havent looked at them, but we sent sample ballots to every voter in Manatee County.
Laurie Krosney called the ballot the wackiest shes ever seen.
Legislators should hold themselves to a word count. Could it be any more obscure? Krosney asked, referring to the amendments that created a 2-page, front-and-back, ballot. We had a study group to figure out what they actually meant.
Krosney, also a Holmes Beach voter, is looking forward to results of controversial island races. Several challengers are running against incumbents in the city commission and mayoral races.
This is the first time I can remember being more excited about the local election than the presidential election, Krosney said. These issues are important to all of us.
At Precinct 104, Pinebrook Clubhouse in Bradenton, one voter said he arrived at 7:30 a.m. and was done by about 8 a.m. There were 15 or 20 voters outside in a line, and another 10 inside, he said.
At precincts inside the Bradenton city limits, volunteers for candidates were on standby waving with signs and talking to passing voters.
People want to know who he is, said Lawrence Miller, wearing a shirt supporting mayoral challenger Richard OBrien, and sitting outside his vehicle at Congregational United Church of Christ. Some people are looking for change. The current mayor has been there too long. Its time for new blood.
A Bradenton firefighter sat a few spaces down on the bed of his pickup truck, holding a sign for incumbent Mayor Wayne Poston and city council candidate Gene Brown.
We work for the city. If Mayor Poston wasnt doing a good job, wed be helping someone else, he said. I dont try to engage people unless they start a conversation with me. I dont want to be harassing someone or making them feel uncomfortable. Several election deputies said voters complained about the campaigning that is lawfully permitted outside a 100-foot perimeter from the polling site. We follow the law, Sweat said. We enforce the law, and I cant control anyone outside that 100-foot mark. If theyre not obstructing the flow of voters, theres nothing I can do about it.
A few voters ended up at the wrong precinct and were directed to the proper location, Sweat said. But that was a rare problem because an election has been held since the most recent precinct changes, he added.
As far as problems with voting machines, voter fraud or other issues that could delay the evenings results: Knock on wood, so far, none, Sweat said.

Our third intern post comes from Aaron Werner, a rising junior at the University of Pennsylvania.
At Penn, A Real Scholarly Debate
This past semester, Norman Finkelstein came to speak on Penn's campus, and I have never been more proud. Whether or not we believe in what Dr. Finkelstein preaches (and I don't), we can all agree that the response from the Penn community was exactly the response that a controversial speaker warrants. Everyone had a voice, and no one was shouted down.
A myriad of concerned observers wrote to and were published in the Daily Pennsylvanian. I read the opinions of four graduate students, three undergrads, the Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia Chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, two political science professors (including the department chairman), and Professor Alan Dershowitz. One of the most amazing things about this discussion was the respectful tone, intelligent observations, and factual evidence presented in arguments. This is the way a scholarly debate should happen.
Aaron Werner will be a junior this fall at the University of Pennsylvania where he is studying history and economics. At Penn, Aaron is a student government officer and president of his fraternity. In addition, Aaron enjoy playing tennis and ultimate frisbee in his free time. After college, Aaron hopes to attend law school.

gamewizard says: I bought this game when gog was running a special on jowood published games i only pain 2.39 usd for it and it is a great game
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Work with us in your garden and we'll teach you the basics of planting and maintenance. Children are welcome! We are experienced agricultural educators and believe in the value of food education for all ages.
Meredith, Guy and the Love and Carrots crew are some of the kindest, most creative and most interesting people. They are great teachers and I look forward to our continued relationship as we make this secret roof garden all it can be! This garden has been one of the most unexpected and exciting things about our move into the city!Marlana Kain
Meredith accommodated us in every way she could. For example, in order to save some labor cost I helped putting down the vegetable beds. But what I really like about working with Meredith is that she listens well and is trying to understand you as a client. She is not pushing her own notions on you at all. There is no sales pitch!Tilman
Because I wanted to learn about gardening and understand what she was doing I harassed Meredith constantly with questions and she didn't mind to pass on her knowledge and expertise. All this resulted in a great vegetable garden that supplied us with herbs, kale, tatsoi, peas, mustard greens, arugula, swiss chard, and carrots. In fact, I pulled a few carrots yesterday out of the frozen ground! There's virtually nothing I didn't like about the work Meredith did.PalisadesDC
My sister in law sent me the link to Love&Carrots and I contacted Meredith just to give it a shot, no expectations whatsoever. From our first meeting on it turned out to be an excellent experience. Whatever we discussed and agreed upon happened as promised, on time, and for the very reasonable, negotiated price.PalisadesDC
I am so happy with the new beds that [Love & Carrots] installed in my back yard. They are fast workers yet very careful and thorough. Knowledgeable, too! Prices can't be beat, either. I had a large pile of dirt in my yard that another company wanted $2,000 to haul away. For a fraction of that amount, Love and Carrots reshaped the dirt pile, added quality compost, and fashioned attractive garden "berms" complete with brick trim. I could not be more pleased! In addition, they created more ga…ArlingtonVA
I heartily recommend Love and Carrots – what a great find! The garden plan that Meredith prepared was not only thoughtful and well-planned, it was also artistic and charming.Rebecca Halbe
We are so grateful to the Love & Carrots crew for turning our yard into an edible paradise! … We've gotten all the benefits of our own garden, but you took away the stress, doubt, and sweat of getting started! " We are especially delighted to see how wonderfully your whole crew incorporated our kids into the process. They got to play in the dirt, water, and "help" in other ways that made them really take ownership of the project, despite the fact that their parents don't know the first thi…AutumnAlex and the Fam

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline Friday in San Diego County recorded its largest daily increase since Feb. 24—5.3 cents—because of a Northern California refinery fire expected to reduce gasoline supplies.
The average price of $3.992 is the highest since June 16, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 14.8 cents more than one week ago, 30.8 cents higher than one month ago and 21.9 cents greater than one year ago.
The average price has risen 26 times in the past 29 days, increasing 31.6 cents over that span, including 4.7 cents on Thursday.
Monday night's major fire at the Chevron refinery in Richmond had an immediate effect on the wholesale gasoline market on Tuesday, which caused gas prices to shoot up since then," said Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.
Southern Californians have already been experiencing increased pump prices for nearly a month due to higher oil prices and this incident has just made the increases come even more quickly.
"However, since that Northern California refinery is still partly operating, the impact may not be as great as what happened in February with the Cherry Point refinery fine in Washington. More should be known in the next few days."
The fire at a BP refinery in Washington state in February left the plant out of commission until May, causing gasoline prices in the Pacific Northwest to rise about 70 cents.
On Monday, refinery spokesman Nigel Hearne issued an apology and said the cause of the 6:30 p.m. fire in the number 4 crude unit was unknown.
Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia said many people had gone to Doctors hospital with respiratory complaints, and KRON TV said the emergency room was "packed" with people experiencing breathing problems, burning eyes and irritation of mucous membranes.
The fire spewed a huge plume visible for miles and prompting authorities to issue a shelter-in-place warning. Flames were seen shooting out of at least two towers at the refinery.
Contra Costa Health Services activated its emergency phone notification system and issued a shelter-in-place warning for Richmond, North Richmond and San Pablo. Residents were urged to remain indoors, and to close all windows and doors and seal any cracks to protect the interior from outside air.
KTVU reported that officials have issued a level-3 community warning, meaning that the fire can cause eye, skin, nose or respiratory irritation.
In a statement, Chevron said the fire started at the 4 Crude Unit at 6:15 p.m. and they do not know what caused the accident.

Related Event
Liturgy's 2009 album Renihilation is an ecstatic, ferocious, and brainy blast of black-metal art, indebted as much to medieval religious music and minimalism as it is to Darkthrone and Burzum. It's the result of frontman (and Columbia University grad) Hunter Hunt-Hendrix's wide-ranging listening habits, which he shares below.
Kontra Quartet
Vagn Holmboe: The Complete String Quartets (Dacapo, 2010)
I'm very interested in Scandinavian anti-modern modernist composers who make reactionary, expansive, anachronistic post-Romantic symphonies. And each nation has one. Finland has Sibelius, Sweden has Alfven, Denmark has Nielsen. I believe they drink the same nectar as the black-metal second wave, though I can't prove it. Anyway, I recently discovered Holmboe. He is much less well-known than these three, but he is Danish. He has symphonies and some sacred music, and a requiem for Nietzsche, but so far I've only checked out his cycle of string quartets, which are said to be his best work. Really deep and profound stuff. I haven't had a chance to digest the entire cycle yet, but so far I really like the fourth and fifth.
The Last Poets
This Is Madness (Douglas, 1971)
The Watts Prophets
Things Gonna Get Greater: The Watts Prophets 1969-1971 (Water, 2005)
As is more or less well-known, rap was fathered simultaneously by the Last Poets in New York and the Watts Prophets in L.A. I love listening to both of these groups, because you hear a sort of embryonic rap, a weird hybrid of free-jazz style spoken-word, chanting, prophetic/apocalyptic preaching, and seriously street revolutionary fervor. Like it isn't really rap yet, but it is. Sort of like listening to Blue Cheer re metal. So far I think Last Poets is the better of the two groups. This Is Madness is the second Last Poets record; Things Gonna Get Greater is a compilation of the first two Watts Prophets records.
King Night (IAMSOUND, 2010)
I surprise myself with how much I like this record. I can't even put my finger on why it is yet, but that's part of why it is so addictive. The combination of a sort of watercolored Nine Inch Nails vibe and eerie ransom-voice rapping creates an effect I've never felt before. Definitely one of the best records of 2010. Probably the best, at least the best that I'm aware of.
Eparistera Daimones (Century Media, 2010)
I think Thomas Gabriel Warrior's comeback has been a surprise to everyone, and it is awesome. In a way the Tryptikon record is just like early Celtic Frost except slower and doomier. But there's something masterful about the way TGW makes the hooks work at the slower tempo—he almost makes them work harder by really squeezing them out. The slight tempo changes that happen at just the right moments are what keep me coming back to this album.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Gloucester's latest unemployment rate leapt upward by some 9 percent in November, rising to 7.8 percent for the 30-day period even as the state's jobless rate and a key North Shore regional indicator shows signs of improvement.
According to the latest city and town figures from the state's Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, the city's jobless rate jumped from an October mark of 7.1 percent to the new figure. The 7.8 percent marks the city's highest unemployment rate since March and sits less than a percentage point below the 8.2 percent rate the city racked up for November 2011.
While some of the city's latest jobless increase is tied to seasonal changes in the local economy, the latest statistics show that the jump also comes as Gloucester's labor force continues to grow. The 15,824 people recognized as being in the Gloucester workforce in November is up from the October mark of 15,727 and from the November 2011 figure of 15,670.
Yet that growth corresponds to a drop from statistics showing that 14,583 were employed in November, down from an Octobner figure of 14,618. The latest figures, however, are up by 201 from the 14,382 who held jobs in November 2011, according to the state numbers.
Gloucester's jobless statistics come amid a mixed bag of November unemployment data for Cape Ann's towns:
Rockport's jobless rate jumped by more than 27 percent, from an October mark of 5.7 mark to a November figure of 7.2, according to the state workplace numbers. That figure is also higher than the town's November 2011 rate of 6.8 percent.
Manchester's November unemployment rate fell from 5.4 percent in October to a November rate of 5.0, though that town's jobless rate is also up from its Novembe 2011 figure of 4.6 percent.
Essex however, also saw its jobless rate rise from 5.3 percent in October to a November rate of 5.4 – a mark still below its November 2011 rate of 5.56 percent.
All of Cape Ann's communities except Gloucester fell below the statewide November unemployment rate of 6.1 percent — a mark that as down from a 6.2 mark in October and improved from a revised figure of 6.4 percent in November 2011.
Meanwhile, regional labor and workforce data from the what the state's office defines as the Peabody area — one of eight defined economic regions —show gains in total "nonfarm" jobs of 2.7 percent in the past 13 months, from 102,200 jobs in November 2011 to 105,000 last month, said Will Sinatra, the data analyst for the Salem-based North Shore Workforce Investment Board, the organization that oversees the region's career centers.
The defined "Peabody area" includes Danvers, Lynn, Marblehead, Nahant, Peabody, Salem and Swampscott. That region's unemployment rate stood at 6.1 percent in November, down from 6.3 percent from November 2011.
The Workforce Investment Board data shows that area's job growth is being driven by gains in education and health services, which added 1,500 jobs year over year, an increase of 6.8 percent. That's 22,200 health and education jobs in November 2011 and 23,700 last month.
The retail sector, meanwhile, added 400 jobs from last November to this November, for a total of 16,500 jobs.
The financial activities sector, hard-hit by the recession and the consolidation of bank branches, added 100 jobs, or 2 percent, year over year.
Five-year tracking figures compiled by the nonprofit North Shore Workforce Investment Board showed that, between 2007 and 2011, the number of retail jobs grew in the city by almost 30 percent; an average of 1,592 people worked in Gloucester retail stores in 2011, while accommodations and food service jobs rose by 20 percent over the last five years, adding 214 jobs.
But those same investment board figures showed that, while an average 2,800 people worked in Gloucester manufacturing companies in 2007, that average had fallen to 2,350 — a 15 percent decrease – by the end of 2011.
New Gloucester figures from that panel have not yet been released.

Completion of the Army Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) program leads to a commission as a
2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army as an active duty soldier, a reservist or a National Guardsman.
Students enroll in Army ROTC as an additional course while pursuing the academic discipline of their choice.
Completion of the Basic course, normally taken during the first and second years of college, is a prerequisite
for enrolling in the Advanced course at a four-year college or university. The Basic course does not obligate a
student to the Army; 100 and 200 level ROTC courses exist so that students can discover for themselves
whether they desire to continue with the ROTC Advanced course (junior and senior years normally).
ROTC courses are conducted through SFCC via a cross-enrollment agreement with Eastern Washington
University (EWU). Students can meet the qualifications for the Basic course at SCC or SFCC in preparation
for the advanced course. These EWU ROTC classes are held at SFCC. SCC students must travel to SFCC
for classes.

The plush hand makes for an elegant cover-up or an exquisite scarf, especially in our line-up of lovely colors from basic to bright. 100% cashmere. Imported. Size: 86" L x 27" W GARNET HILL CASHMERE Garnet Hill cashmere is made from the fine, downy undercoat of Kashmir goats raised in Inner Mongolia. Our suppliers practice responsible herd management and produce the highest quality fibers, which are washed, carded and spun into sumptuous two-ply yarns, twisted to resist pilling (without compromising strength). To achieve our vibrant colors, we use only Oeko-Tex certified eco-friendly dyes, which means we also use fewer chemicals, less water and less energy. From start to finish, every step in our manufacturing process takes place under the glass roof of a world-class, eco-conscious production facility.
Made by Børn for Garnet Hill, this is one of our favorite riding boots. An understated, go-anywhere pair hand-sewn in exquisite Italian leather using Børn's patented Opanka construction. Subtle cuff detail. Full inside zipper. 14" shaft; 1 5/8" rubber heel. Cushioned sole. Imported/Italy. Shaft: 14"; 1 5/8" stacked wood heel These boots are generously sized to allow jeans to be tucked in. They are meant to be worn with warm weight socks.
This leather boot combines on-trend buckle details with the comfort of Gentle Souls' signature flaxseed insole. Deerskin lining, with a full side zipper. 12" shaft; 1/2" heel. Imported. Shaft: 12" These boots run roomy in the shaft and calf and are meant to be worn with socks.

Italian leather with slight variations will get more beautiful over time. Full side zip and elastic goring at the side for ease. Molded leather footbed with arch support. 14 3/4" shaft. 1" leawood-wrapped heel. Hand-sewn Opanka construction. Rubber sole. Imported/Italy. Shaft: 14 3/4"; 1" leawood-wrapped heel
By Børn for Garnet Hill. Part of our celebrated collaboration with Børn, these tall suede boots are beautifully constructed and well suited to pair with a closet's worth of slim jeans or swingy dresses.

We're touting our newest leather tote made just for us in a little pelletteria in the hills of northern Italy.

Two sidewall pockets and an inside zip keep your essentials organized. Magnetic closure. Feet protect the bottom. Cotton lining. Due to the natural dyeing process, color variations will occur. Italy. Size: 14 1/2"H x 15 1/2" W x 4 1/2" D
We have lots of love for these transitional suede boots in great shades. Curvy seaming at the vamp nods to the Western trend, while a shorter shaft makes them a great partner to dresses, skirts, and shorts all season long. Refined toe. Exposed metallic zipper at the back adds a little edge. 4 1/2" shaft. 2 3/8" stacked leather heel. Man-made sole. Due to the nature of the dyeing process, unique color variations will occur. Italy. This boot runs narrow. For a more generous fit, we recommend ordering up a half-size.
These zippy booties add a nice edge to transitional style — we love them as much with bare legs as with tights. The exposed zipper looks great up, of course, but also hip halfway down. Incredibly soft Italian suede in pretty shades trends to the dressy side. Rounded toe. Leather-covered footbed with arch support. 4" shaft. 3" leawood-wrapped heel. Hand-sewn Opanka construction.

All-day comfort. Man-made sole. Brazil. Please note that the toe box may be snug at first but will loosen with wear.
A pointy-toe flat with a leather toecap hits the best of both trends for this fashionable calf-hair ballet. The shades are a return to neutrality — spots-on-black or black-on-black — so the focus stays on the exquisite texture. Calf hair/leather. Leather footbed. Man-made sole. Imported.
To achieve the perfect middle ground, we designed our midheight boot in deliciously supple leather, handcrafted for us in a small pelletteria in northern Italy. We adore the way the shape works with tights, leggings, or the new longer silhouettes. The rounded shaft with pull tabs has a bit of a Western vibe, while the back zip ensures the shape is modern. Supple pebbled leather upper. Padded footbed. 11 1/4" shaft. 13/8" heel. Leather outsole with rubber inset. Due to the natural dyeing process, color variations will occur. Italy.

Great location. Cheap and cheerful place to stay. The room is basic but comfy. The bathroom is shared with one other and was fine. I enjoyed it for a short stay.
The place is clean and they're very friendly, the price is good, I stayed in two different bedrooms and in one of them beds weren't very comfortable.
Good place for spending a couple of nights
Very central, with the city within easy walking distance. Unfortunately the city was kinda "closed" on my first night due to local flooding, but there were still plenty of restaurants open in the area as Cork is a hilly town.
The apartment was clean, warm, spacious and modern. Bed was comfortable and the area was surprisingly quiet at night (well, I fell asleep very quickly anyway so I might be wrong :-))
Due to the rain I was very late arriving, but was able to access the apartment easily given the instructions provided.
The room I stayed in was very clean and comfortable. Lots of room in this open plan space, I felt really relaxed there and had a great night's sleep. Love this location in Cork, very peaceful, just-off leafy Wellington Rd. and only a hop-skip and a jump! from the bustling city centre.
For some people might be ok you have everything to live there, nevertheless i went for 2 nights and it feel like erasmus place, the room was clean but dark small and the kitchen not clean an untidy
The price is similar to a B&B but it has no breakfast
On the other hand there is nice people living there and is quiet
Great place! Bright, private rooms, pretty basic with everything you need! Common space, kitchen, and washing machines all very convenient.
We spent a great couple of days at Clair's. Everything was nice and welcoming. The apartment is clean and fresh and all renovated, there's everything you need there! It was comfortable and stress-free. It's just 15 minutes away on foot from the city centre. We recommend it to other travellers!
The room is clean and bright, but can be quite cool in early mornings and late nights. The main attractions are within walking distance. Will recommend this place for travellers on shoestring.
Claire and Debbie were extremely helpful with directions to the location and late check-in. They were open and accessible to any questions and my room was just what I needed during my stay. Cozy budget accommodations in a good neighbourhood.
It was a beautiful area of Cork, walking distance from the city centre, right at the top of a lovely old house (3 flights of stairs). I was picked up from the other side of the city by Debbie who works for Clair, which was absolutely fantastic and the students who lived in the house were very friendly and helpful. A warm welcome, much appreciated. The room was en suite, basic and clean.

When Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901, he quickly established a reputation as a trust buster, railing against the power of giant corporations. In 1902 he ordered a Sherman Act lawsuit aimed at dissolving the Northern Securities Company, the first of 45 antitrust cases pursued during his administration. For the 1904 election, Roosevelt amassed a $2.2 million war chest ($52 million in today's dollars), mainly by hitting up businessmen who had reason to fear him. The donations included $150,000 from Wall Street banker J.P. Morgan, $100,000 from railroad tycoon George Jay Gould, $125,000 from Standard Oil, and $150,000 from three insurance companies.
When Roosevelt's Democratic opponent, Alton Parker, claimed corporations were trying to curry the president's favor by donating heavily to his campaign, the Hero of San Juan Hill called it "a wicked falsehood." Embarrassed by publicity about his financial support from big business, Roosevelt took up the cause of campaign finance reform, pushing it in his 1905 and 1906 addresses to Congress.
Thus was born the Tillman Act of 1907, which banned corporate contributions to federal campaigns. Nearly a century later, national campaign finance regulation reached its apex thanks largely to another politician determined to prove he was not corrupt.
John McCain was one of five senators who met with federal regulators in 1987 and encouraged them to ease up on the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was under scrutiny for risky investment practices. The taxpayers ended up bailing out the California-based S&L's federally insured depositors two years later at a cost of $3.4 billion. For his role in the debacle, Lincoln's chairman, Charles Keating, served more than four years in prison (although his state and federal fraud convictions eventually were reversed because of juror misconduct and faulty jury instructions).
Keating had been the single most important benefactor of McCain's early political career. Between 1982 and 1987, he had steered $1.4 million in campaign contributions and gifts to the five senators who intervened on his behalf. McCain received $112,000 of that, along with nine trips on Keating's jets to the Bahamas and elsewhere. In 1991 the Senate Ethics Committee reprimanded the Arizona Republican for his "poor judgment."
Like his idol Roosevelt, McCain denied any wrongdoing (at least for the first couple of decades; in his 2007 book Hard Call the senator finally admitted to "self-interest" in doing a favor for "an important supporter"). But by his own well-worn account, the Keating Five scandal drove McCain to sponsor legislation aimed at removing the taint of money from politics, an issue that helped define his reputation as a "maverick" and played a conspicuous role in his 2000 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. "The thing I learned was that it's not only impropriety that counts," he said during that campaign. "It's the appearance that's just as important."
Thus was born McCain-Feingold, a.k.a. the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, a law that took Roosevelt's self-serving crusade a few steps further than the Supreme Court was willing to tolerate. To McCain-Feingold's supporters, the law's ban on "electioneering communications"—TV or radio messages sponsored by unions or corporations that mention federal candidates close to an election—was a logical follow-up to the ban on corporate donations championed by Roosevelt.
McCain's single-minded focus on campaign finance reform won him much applause from journalists, who largely shared his view that money in politics, as he put it in 2001, "affects everything: the tax code, the military, Medicare, Social Security, gambling—you name it." Yet by 2008, after six years of evidence that McCain-Feingold did not reduce money in politics, McCain was no longer talking about it. When he ran for president against Barack Obama, his own party platform repudiated his signature legislative accomplishment, insisting on "the free-speech right to devote one's resources to whatever cause or candidate one supports."
When the Supreme Court struck down McCain-Feingold's ban on electioneering communications in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the reach of the ruling surprised advocates on both sides of the issue. But it was a foregone conclusion once the Court confronted the implications of letting politicians restrict speech in an effort to avoid the appearance of their own corruption.

Buried deep underneath the Kansas prairie is an Atlas-F missile silo that one developer has filled with luxury condos he's selling to wealthy people who want protection from what they imagine is a coming doomsday scenario.
Want to prepare for the end of the world in style? A Kansas developer has just the nuclear missile silo — er, make that underground luxury condo — for you.
Larry Hall has built one such abandoned Cold War-era silo in Kansas into 14 floors of plush condominium housing, replete with a pool, movie theater, library, indoor farm and — eventually — a medical center and school, AFP reported.
The hostile outside world is kept at bay with an elaborate above-ground security system involving camera, fingerprints and barbed wire.
Nine-foot-thick concrete walls protect the column of condos, and a steel and concrete core inside those protect against earthquakes.
The condos can also, of course, supply their own energy, and once the farm is operational they'll supply their own food.
The condos sell for $2 million a floor, and Hall said he he is currently working on a massive home for a wealthy businesswoman and her family. In lieu of windows, the condo will be lined with massive electronic screens showing picturesque views.
One of the units, though, is Hall's own — which he intends to spirit his family away to as soon as sun flares knock out the power grid and possibly society along with it, he told AFP. For now, it is their vacation home.
Should sales really heat up, he is considering building similar condos in another three Atlas-F silos he might buy.
If you're in the market, just make sure you're prepared to pay for your apocalypse shelter up front.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Charlie Baker is a fish out of water.
An Englishman at a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, a beleaguered husband going through a personal crisis, an introvert in a setting totally beyond his experience — what's a man to do?
Pretend he doesn't speak a word of the local language, of course.
From such theatrical logic springs the story of "The Foreigner," a play by Larry Shue, currently being presented through Oct. 26 by the Towne Players at the Sheridan-Parkside Community Center Theatre in the Town of Tonawanda. Glenn Jumper, who is directing the show, said it's a show the actors know well and enjoy.
"We originally did it in 1995 and enjoyed it so much," he said. "Over the years, we kept calling back scenes and moments from the show over the years. So we thought, 'Let's do it again' ... with two of the original cast members."
Mark DiPasquale of Kenmore reprises the role of Charlie, while Joyce Siegel of Buffalo plays Betty Meeks, the proprietor of that fishing lodge. Five other roles have been recast.
"This show is the equal to, if not better than, the original (from 1995), because we're all gained more insight over the years," Jumper said. "Charlie as a character only becomes himself when he pretends to be someone else. It frees him up. He starts to bond with people and people open up to him ... people start to improve around him."
"Things all work out one way or another but it takes a bit to get there. It's funny and touching and everybody's doing a great job in it."
The play, which is set in 1985, revolves around Charlie, who finds the rest of the show's cast of characters responding to his supposed "foreign" persona in various ways according to their personalities, from mockery to helpfulness to disclosing secrets and scandals they'd never mention to an insider, Jumper said.
"The story is interesting, the character is interesting. The idea of a guy or anyone who feels like they don't fit in is universal," he said, calling the idea rather Shakespearean in nature. "Charlie isn't that person, but he is an outsider. If he'd never done this, these people's lives would never have changed. It's basically about rising into the dreams you have and becoming the person you didn't think you could be. It's an old story, but it's nicely told."
DiPasquale, who reprises his role of Charlie from the show 18 years ago, said that despite the character's deception, he's very honest in a way.
"I just enjoy his real honesty about things, dealing with everything in such a basic way, letting everyone infer what they want," DiPasquale said of the role. "(The other characters) kind of project what they want on him. I think he's just basically a good guy and he wants to do what's right."
The rest of the cast includes Sam Granieri of Niagara Falls as Charlie's friend Froggy; Bob Aquila of Buffalo as the unpleasant local Owen; Lawrence Rowswell of Tonawanda, who plays the Rev. David Marshall Lee, whose character is in turn engaged to Catherine, an heiress played by Stephanie Hooley of Amherst. Catherine's sister, Ellie (Ellard in the original off-Broadway musical), is played by Anneliese Ploetz of Tonawanda.
In addition to returning cast members DiPasquale and Siegel, Jumper said there's another way this particular show refers back to the earlier history of the performance. The art for the show's program, flier and poster was created by the director's father, the late Robert Jumper, a prominent local artist who also painted some of the artwork that hangs in the on-stage fishing lodge.
"He's well-represented in the show," Jumper said. "Over the years he did many, many posters for us. We thought it would be appropriate to get one last credit in."IF YOU GO • WHAT: "The Foreigner" presented by the Towne Players • WHEN: 7:30 p.m. today, Oct. 25 and 26; 2 p.m. Sunday • WHERE: Sheridan-Parkside Community Center Theatre, 169 Sheridan-Parkside Drive, Town of Tonawanda. • TICKETS: Cost is $7 presale; $12 general admission; $10 for students and seniors. • FOR MORE INFORMATION: Call 693-9641 or visit www.towneplayers.com.

What exactly is the Chehalis Gap, and how does it affect the weather?
The Chehalis gap is a low spot in the terrain along the Chehalis river, which runs to the south of the Olympic mountains and the various mountains to the south, including the Willapa Hills. That gap funnels moist air inland, often leading to a rapid transition from clear skies to low clouds overnight. When winds blow through the Gap (the Chehalis Gap, not the clothing store), the winds accelerate. Westerly winds result in gusty winds to the east of the Gap, while easterly winds result in gusty winds to the west of the Gap...often double the speed of winds elsewhere.

This costume is great! I'm mad that I one got to wear it once this Halloween, but I'm sure I will find an excuse to wear it again!
Do understand, this is a COMPLETE bodysuit, the only expose parts are your eyes and mouth. You need to figure something out shoes wise or you will be waking barefoot, i would suggest some yellow flip flops and also, if you have a touch screen phone, be ready not to be able to use it because your fingers are covered.
Size wise, mine is a large, I'm a curvy, 5'5 Hispanic woman and it fit perfectly!
I live in MI and it was a cold Halloween, but I was able to wear a long johns underneath the suit and it was seem-less,the suit still looked great!
I got many compliments and I would recommend it!

Comments about Batman Batgirl Zentai Bodysuit:
I am a big batman fan and I was really anxious because Halloween was only ten days away and I still didnt have a costume. I was going to be Harley Quinn, but couldnt find the full bodysuit at spirit. I saw this and I knew it would be so much fun to be Batgirl!!! There are eyeholes and sometimes they may get in the way of your eyes, but the material is very smooth, comfy, and flexible. It may be a little thin so I am planning to wear a shirt and leggings so it doesnt show the outline of undergarments. I am 14 years old, 5'7, with a fairly muscular build. I dont really like revealing costumes and this was perfect for the DC comics nerd who doesnt like sleazy costumes. My bestie said she is gonna be the joker!! Cant wait till Halloween ;D

Comments about Batman Batgirl Zentai Bodysuit:
This costume is awesome! I am so glad Spirit Halloween had this. I purchased it at the Union, NJ Store. A medium fit well! I am 5'2" and about 150lbs. I was trying to decide between this and the catwoman costume (from Dark Knight) and this was one was better. It zips up completely from your head to your waist (2 zips on one zipper) I can zip it up to my next and then use the other zip on the top but leave it open for my hair to stay out.
CON: It's an ENTIRE bodysuit, including hands and feet, meaning i will have to open a hole where the yellow connects to the black on my arm in order to have my hand out so i can eat, etc. I'll have to wear either flats or addidas slides on my feet if i dont want to walk around barefoot.
That is the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars.

This costume is FANTASTIC. It's probably the most accurate Batgirl costume out there. The zipper is easy to zip and the small fits me very well (5'3" and 124 lbs). It breathes well and was comfortable in the Texas heat. The mask portion also fit well.
