Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Shaun Hill threw for 227 yards and three touchdowns and Stefan Logan tied a franchise record with a 105-yard kickoff return for a score as the Detroit Lions snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 44-6 demolishing of the St. Louis Rams at Ford Field.
Hill completed 21-of-32 throws, while Calvin Johnson, Brandon Pettigrew and Nate Burleson each had a TD grab for the Lions (1-4), who won for the first time since defeating Cleveland, 38-37, on November 22 of last year. The Lions suffered a 28-26 setback at Green Bay last weekend. Logan's return equaled that of Terry Fair for the longest in Lions' history. Fair set the mark in 1998 against Tampa Bay. Alphonso Smith added a 42-yard interception return for a score.
Rookie running back Jahvid Best, getting the start despite being slowed by a toe injury in practice all week, rushed for 67 yards on 18 carries in the victory. Johnson ended with four catches for 54 yards, but landed awkwardly on his right shoulder while making a diving reception for a 29-yard gain early in the fourth quarter and did not return. He was seen on the sideline with his shoulder wrapped.
The Lions came to play today and are up on St. Louis by a score of 24-6. Here is how Detroit scored its 24 points so far today:
First Quarter
Jason Hanson 30-yard field goal
Second Quarter
Stefan Logan 105-yard kick return (longest play of the NFL this season)
Calvin Johnson one-yard touchdown catch from Shaun Hill
Brandon Pettigrew three-yard touchdown catch from Shaun Hill
St. Louis had a 28-yard field goal in each quarter for its six points.

Sunday is the Detroit Lions' annual alumni day, and the team plans to honor one of its greats during halftime of its game with the St. Louis Rams. Dick LeBeau, who played defensive back for the Lions from 1959-72, will be inducted into the Pride of the Lions, a display which honors the team's greatest players.
Currently the defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers, LeBeau is the Lions' all-time leader in interceptions with 62. He also holds the NFL record for most games played by a cornerback with 171.
With the Steelers on a bye this week, LeBeau will be in Detroit for the ceremony and will be presented with his Hall of Fame ring. LeBeau was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this past August. He's the 18th member of the Lions to earn Hall of Fame honors.
Lebeau will be the 13th player named to the Pride of the Lions, which inducted its first 12 players last year.
(Sports Network) - Despite being slated during the budding weeks of the NFL season, Sunday's matchup between the St. Louis Rams and hosting Detroit Lions didn't look like it was going to have a big impact in the standings.
While that may still be true for the winless Lions, the surprising Rams are hoping to stay in the early hunt for first place in the NFC West and win a third straight game for the first time in four seasons this weekend at Ford Field.
Given that the Rams and Lions had combined for just five wins over the previous two seasons, there didn't figure to be much hype for this meeting. However, a two-game win streak by St. Louis has the club in a three-way tie with the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks for the top spot in the NFC West. The Rams had lost 10 straight prior to their winning streak, the first for the club since claiming back-to-back games from Oct. 12-19, 2008.
"You can see the confidence around here starting to brew," said Rams running back Steven Jackson following Sunday's 20-3 home victory over the Seahawks. "We're starting to believe in what's going on. The philosophy coach [Steve Spagnuolo] has been talking about over the last two years, guys are really buying in, and I'm glad to see a lot of guys starting to grow in their own individual careers."
One player who is growing at an accelerated rate is rookie quarterback Sam Bradford. The top overall pick of the 2010 draft has thrown a touchdown pass in each of his first four NFL starts and is coming off his second career multi-touchdown game this past weekend to help St. Louis snap a 10-game skid to division-rival Seattle.
Bradford will now try to lift the Rams to their first three-game winning streak since the club closed out the 2006 campaign with three victories in a row. St. Louis has also lost four in a row on the road since a triumph at Detroit on Nov. 1, a win that served as both the Rams' lone 2009 victory and the first of Spagnuolo's head coaching career.
Things haven't been as joyful in Detroit so far this year, with the franchise off to its second 0-4 start in three seasons. Winless in 10 straight games dating back to last year, the Lions haven't won since Nov. 22 and are coming off a 28-26 setback in Green Bay that saw a Detroit rally fall just short.
The Lions trailed 28-14 early in the third quarter after Packers defensive back Charles Woodson took a Shaun Hill interception 48 yards to the end zone just 26 seconds into the second half. The game's next 12 points would come off the foot of Detroit kicker Jason Hanson in the form of four field goals, but the Lions' inability to get into the end zone in the second half cost them a victory and left head coach Jim Schwartz saying that his team is just shy of getting over the hump.
"There have been some things that we have overcome in the first four weeks, there have been some things we haven't overcome," said Schwartz. "The thing we haven't done is finish ahead on the scoreboard -- and that's a big step for this team. We have the talent, we have good schemes -- all of those different things."
This past Sunday's loss at Green Bay dropped Detroit to 0-3 in divisional play already this season.
The Rams lead the all-time regular season series with the Lions, 42-37-1, including two consecutive victories in a series that dates back to 1937. The Rams' 17-10 win at Ford Field last season was St. Louis lone win of the 2009 season, and continues to rank as the team's only road victory of the Spagnuolo era. Detroit's most recent series win was a 30-20 affair in the Motor City in 2003.
In addition to the regular season series, the teams have met once in the postseason, with the Lions scoring a 31-21 home win in a 1952 NFL Conference Playoff.
Spagnuolo is 1-0 against both the Lions and Schwartz.
Bradford's early-season progression has helped the Rams' rebuilding process take a huge step forward. The 22-year-old fell just 11 yards shy of his first career 300-yard passing game versus the Seahawks and was able to keep his team in the game despite getting sacked four times while being intercepted once. Bradford (944 passing yards, 6 TD, 6 INT) completed touchdown passes to wide receiver Brandon Gibson and running back Kenneth Darby, while wideouts Mark Clayton (22 receptions, 2 TD) and Danny Amendola (21 receptions) hauled in five passes each. Bradford was also helped out when Jackson (284 rushing yards, 1 TD) was declared active before the game despite a groin strain suffered the previous week. Jackson ran for 70 yards on 22 carries to pass Marshall Faulk (6,959 rushing yards) for second on the club's all-time list with 6,991 rushing yards. He also hauled in a 49-yard pass to help set up Darby's third-quarter score and remains a key part to St. Louis' 20th-ranked offense (312.3 yards per game).
While the Rams are scoring just under 20 points per game, that average could get a boost this weekend against Detroit's 27th-ranked scoring defense. The Lions are yielding 26.5 points per game, but will be looking to build off a second half in Green Bay in which they held the Packers' offense without a score. Detroit's defense also forced four turnovers against Green Bay, with cornerbacks Chris Houston (14 tackles, 1 INT) and Alphonso Smith (11 tackles, 2 INT) coming away with an interception each. Linebackers Isaiah Ekejiuba (6 tackles) and Ashlee Palmer (14 tackles) also forced a pair of fumbles. Free safety Louis Delmas (25 tackles, 2 sacks) led the team with six tackles and also recorded a sack, while defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (15 tackles) also got to the quarterback for his NFL rookie-leading third sack. Despite the individual efforts, the Lions as a team still allowed the Packers to take advantage of their 261 total yards, as Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes. Detroit ranks 26th in total defense at 375.5 yards per game.
Despite the loss to the Packers, the Lions outgained the club by a 431-261 margin and got 331 passing yards out of Hill (991 passing yards, 5 TD, 7 INT). He also completed a pair of touchdown passes to Calvin Johnson (20 receptions, 3 TD), but partially offset those scores with two interceptions. Despite the injury to regular signal-caller Matthew Stafford, who suffered a right shoulder injury in Week 1, Hill has helped the Lions rank seventh in the NFL in passing (254.3 ypg). Detroit hasn't been as successful on the ground, ranking 25th with 80.3 yards per game, but did post 123 rushing yards this past weekend. Hill actually led the club with 53 yards on four carries, while rookie Jahvid Best (174 rushing yards, 21 receptions) added 50 yards on 12 carries and still leads the NFC with five total touchdowns even after getting held out of the end zone last weekend. With wide receiver Nate Burleson out due to an ankle injury suffered in Week 2, tight end Brandon Pettigrew (22 receptions) had game highs for Detroit with eight catches and 91 yards. Johnson added six receptions for 86 yards and tight end Tony Scheffler (20 receptions, 1 TD) donated six catches for 63 yards. Burleson, meanwhile, could return to action this weekend.
As St. Louis' offense continues to grow under Bradford, the defense has been making things a little easier. The Rams are holding opponents to just 13.0 points per game (4th in the NFL) despite giving up 347.0 yards per contest (23rd overall), and have limited opponents to just a field goal in five straight red-zone trips. This past weekend's 20-3 victory marked the first time St. Louis allowed three points or less since a 20-0 triumph at Oakland on Dec. 17, 2006, and the Rams set season bests by holding Seattle to 257 total yards and 64 on the ground. St. Louis has given up 17 points or less in each of its first four games for the first time since 1978 and were paced on Sunday by four sacks, including two from former Lions end James Hall (12 tackles, 4 sacks, 3 forced fumbles). Hall also forced a fumble that was recovered by defensive tackle Fred Robbins (10 tackles, 1 sack), while cornerback Bradley Fletcher (17 tackles) came away with an interception. Safety Craig Dahl (20 tackles), who had missed the previous game due to injury, tied cornerback Justin King (11 tackles) for the team lead with six tackles.
A lack of scoring hurt the Rams last year in terms of fantasy, and the club has only slightly improved so far this year. Jackson was kind of a surprise start last week, but ended up getting the bulk of the work on the ground. However, it was Darby who found the end zone as Jackson's scoring woes continued. Still, Jackson is a must-start for this game, while Bradford is a sleeper start given the matchup. Clayton remains the Rams leading receiver, but the Rams have been spreading the ball around so it is tough to zero in on a fantasy starter. Kicker Josh Brown has hit 70 percent of his field goals thus far, while the defense is a solid play given its recent red-zone performance and current matchup.
Much like Schwartz described his club after its most recent loss, the Lions remain just shy of getting over the hump in fantasy. Best has slowed down a bit since his fast start, but is still the undisputed No. 1 back and should be in your lineup. Johnson is also a must-play despite Hill's inconsistency, though the quarterback himself is a risk due to his turnover rate. Pettigrew is starting to emerge as a solid option at the tight end spot, and the Rams' scoring defense means that Hanson might be looking at another big game. Detroit's defense should be avoided.
The Rams come into this matchup on one of their better runs in recent years, but they are by no means blowing other teams away. Scoring is still an issue, as the team could actually be undefeated if not for issues finding the end zone. On paper, the Lions seem to be the weaker opponent, but they should have some confidence after hanging around last weekend versus the Packers. The Rams appear due for a letdown as the Lions use home-field advantage to earn their first victory of the season.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Lions 16, Rams 13
Two Lions are out this week -- Matthew Stafford and DeAndre Levy -- and one is doubtful -- Aaron Brown. The full injury report is below.
Detroit Lions
QB Matthew Stafford (Right Shoulder) - Out
RB Aaron Brown (Finger) - Doubtful
Jahvid Best (Toe) - Questionable
WR Nate Burleson (Ankle) - Probable
TE Tony Scheffler (Concussion) - Questionable
DT Sammie Hill (Knee) - Probable
LB DeAndre Levy (Groin) - Out
S C.C. Brown (Quadricep) - Questionable
S Louis Delmas (Groin) - Probable
St. Louis Rams
RB Steven Jackson (Groin) - Probable
WR Laurent Robinson (Ankle) - Probable
TE Billy Bajema (Knee) - Out
TE Michael Hoomanawanui (Ankle) - Questionable
OT Rodger Saffold (Tibia) - Probable

LB Chris Chamberlain (Toe) - Out
CB Kevin Dockery (Hamstring) - Out
CB Justin King (Right Calf) - Questionable
S Darian Stewart (Hamstring) - Probable
P Donnie Jones (Left Calf) - Probable
After sitting out on Thursday, tight end Tony Scheffler and safety C.C. Brown returned to practice for the Detroit Lions on Friday. Both players are expected to play Sunday versus the St. Louis Rams.
Scheffler was out with a concussion and Brown had an injury to his quadriceps.
Linebacker DeAndre Levy was not able to participate in practice due to his injured groin and ankle, however, and will not play on Sunday. (The same goes, as expected, for quarterback Matthew Stafford.)
Wide receiver Nate Burleson, dealing with a high ankle sprain, practiced for the third straight day, and is expected to play against the Rams.
A sellout for Sunday's game versus the St. Louis Rams looked like a near-certainty for the Detroit Lions, with 2,500 tickets remaining as of Thursday afternoon. The NFL, in turn, granted the Lions a 24-hour extension to get those seats sold.
Success! The game has sold out, and the game will be televised locally. It is the team's first sellout since 2007.
Who to thank? According to the Detroit Free Press, furniture retailer Gardner-White snapped up the remaining 800 tickets.
Scheffler (concussion) and Levy (ankle) did not practice. C.C. Brown, Sammie Hill, Delmas, Best and Burleson all practiced.
Brown and Hill missed practice on Wednesday, so it's good to hear that they were back today. It's also good to hear that Louis Delmas, Jahvid Best and Nate Burleson all practiced for their second straight day this week. It looks like all three will be good to go this Sunday barring any setbacks.
In other injury news, the Lions placed wide receiver Tim Toone, who was Mr. Irrelevant for the 2010 draft and a member of the practice squad, on injured reserve. Undrafted free agent Alric Arnett, who went to West Virginia and spent some time with the Colts, took his spot on the practice squad.
UPDATE: It is now being reported that C.C. Brown did not practice today.
Yesterday, the Lions had 4,500 tickets available for Sunday's game against the Rams. Today, that number is down to 2,500 tickets, which in turn allowed the Lions to receive a 24-hour extension to reach a sellout.
Extensions are usually only given out when a sellout is expected, so it looks like Sunday's game will not be blacked out. There are no guarantees, but the Lions have until 1 p.m. on Friday to sell the 2,500 remaining tickets.
The Detroit Lions need to sell 4,500 tickets for Sunday's game to reach sellout status and have a potential blackout lifted.
The deadline to reach a sellout is 1 p.m. on Thursday, but if the team believes it can reach a sellout, a 24-hour extension can be requested. Usually extensions only happen when the NFL is confident that the team will reach a sellout, so it will be interesting to see what happens with the Lions considering they are 4,500 tickets away from lifting the blackout.
If the Lions do end up selling out Sunday's game, fans can thank Kid Rock for helping lift the blackout.
The Detroit Lions and music icon, Kid Rock, have partnered to donate 500 tickets to the National Guard and the Paralyzed Veterans Association for this Sunday's game vs. the St. Louis Rams at Ford Field.
"We are thrilled and honored to partner with Kid Rock in this promotion that allows us both to say thanks to those men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country," Lions President Tom Lewand said.
News of whether or not Sunday's game will be blacked out or if an extension will be granted should be out sometime after noon on Thursday.
Some Lions roster notes:
Another week, another game for the Lions without Matthew Stafford.
Just as has been the case the previous three weeks, Shaun Hill will start at quarterback for Detroit, meaning the earliest we will see Stafford as the starter again is next week against the New York Giants.
On a more positive note, wide receiver Nate Burleson said he will play this week. He missed the Vikings and Packers games because of a high ankle sprain suffered on the first play of the Eagles game. He returned to practice today and proclaimed that he will play, which would be good news for the Lions' offense.
In addition to Burleson practicing, Jahvid Best and Louis Delmas also were on the field. Tony Scheffler, DeAndre Levy, Sammie Hill and C.C. Brown were out, however.

Area runners are celebrating the arrival of spring this weekend and the chance to get outside for a run. Saturday morning kicked off the summer racing season with the Girls on the Run 5K at Sibley Park.
But another, more sinister, race took place Saturday afternoon, and it was a little more unorthodox. It was a 5K race just like many others throughout the summer, with a catch. Runners had to avoid groups of zombies trying to take a trio of flags away from the runner's "life belt."
The Mankato Zombie Run at Mount Kato, while not a normal 5K race, certainly entertained the race's runners and the zombies who dressed up to scare the runners, complete with makeup by local artists.The Mankato post apocalyptic army had rules: No tackling, no grabbing, no grabbing more than one flag. Runners finishing the race with at least one flag received a medal, and could tell the tale of surviving the zombie horde.

Eric Russell Andreasen, 37, has a tattoo on his right arm that reads "Demon." (Click on image to enlarge.)
A man police say brutally slashed and killed a woman with a knife in broad daylight spoke out from jail Saturday. He briefly talked about the victim, his past and whether he regrets the alleged killing.
Eric Russell Andreasen, 37, has a tattoo on his right arm that reads "Demon" – an appropriate word for the crime he is accused of committing.
Katherine Parker, 54, was stabbed Friday in the parking lot outside a Hallmark store in the 2400 Block of Vista Way in Oceanside. She was visiting from Lincoln in Northern California with her family.
"He cut her across the stomach, he cut her across the neck, and he cut her mouth and up," said one witness.
Andreasen stabbed Parker, threw the knife, then sat down and waited for police to arrive, according to witnesses.
The suspect did not want his face to be seen on camera.
Andreasen had been abused in prison before and had just got off parole, he said. When the reporter tried to press him further about the stabbing he said "no more questions," and put down the phone.
The victim was airlifted to Scripps La Jolla Hospital with critical injuries Friday where she later died.
"To have your wife or your sister come to Hallmark, Patty's Hallmark, and to have something happen in the middle of the day on a Friday afternoon, it just doesn't make any sense," a witness said.
There is no clear motive and the attack appears to be random.
Andreasen is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.

Addition of Kite History Fact of the Day
Although it has been a few months since my last post to the Best-Breezes blog section of this web site, a lot has been going on behind the scenes.
Extensive work has been done to improve the Time Lines of Kite History and updated versions of these much visited resources on the site should be posted by the end of May. Numerous typographical corrections have been made to make the information much more accurate. In addition, new events have been added to the timelines as the verification process for them ensured that they could be entered into the chronicle.
One interesting off shoot of this work has been the inclusion of a new page on the site entitled Kite History FACT OF THE DAY.
Using some of the facts in the Time Lines of Kite History data base, a JavaScript has been added to display a new fact each time visitors access this part of the site. It is hoped that these interesting facts will capture your imagination and help to enhance your experience on this web site.
Other detailed research has been going on in these past months on the following topics:
- kite pioneer Silas J. Conyne of Chicago, Illinois
- kite pioneer Major B.F.S. Baden-Powell of Great Britain
- the principles of kite flight (some of the research gathered on this topic will improve the section on The Science of Kite Flight)
- building a data base of old and historic kite photos that will be displayed in a random fashion of the home page of the web site.
The "Kite" Enshrined As A Universal and Enduring Toy
Toys build physical and mental skills; foster creativity and imagination; encourage critical and strategic thinking; teach fair play and cooperation; connect kids and adults; hold memories and provide windows into the past; reflect the ideas, beliefs, values, and attitudes of their creators and users; reveal historical change; predict the future; educate and entertain.
Kites and the Whitney Museum of American Art
While Bell has never been viewed as an 'artist', the museum feels that his work as recorded in his many notebooks utilized artistic expression to detail his ideas and concepts that were under development at various stages in his career as an inventor.
Bell was famous for including sketches and diagrams of his concepts. Many of his original sketches of his "ring" and "tetrahedral kites" are well known to kite historians, but they have not been widely revealed to the public.
I was pleased to be asked by Kristen France of the Whitney curatorial staff to assist with research on Bell's work with kites and the development of powered aircraft. The detailed research notes that I provided have been used to track down original photographs stored in the Library of Congress, the National Archives of Canada, and at the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck, NS.

Bell's Tetrahedral Kite - Centennial Celebrations
One hundred years ago, on December 6, 2007, Alexander Graham Bell launched his largest tetrahedral kite, the Cygnet II, over the waters of Bras d'Or lake in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Towed behind a steam powered boat and carrying Lieut. Thomas Selfridge as passenger and to some degree pilot, the Cygnet was a milestone in the history of the development of flight and one of the most significant events in Canadian kite history.
A great deal of attention is being paid to the tetrahedral kites of Dr. Bell during this centennial celebration year marking the historic flight of the huge Cygnet. It certainly is a time to pause and remember the amazing ingenuity of the era as humans searched for the best ways to lift people into the sky in a safe and controlled manner.
Bell's intention was to use the inherently strong tetrahedron as a building block for an 'aerodrome' (aircraft) that would eventually be powered by a gasoline engine and achieve independent flight under the control of a pilot.
The Halifax Chronicle Herald ran a feature story on the work of Bell's Aerial Experiment Association, a group of five engineer-scientist fellows. The group was funded with a $30,000 investment provided by Mabel Bell, Dr. Bell's wife, who acted as the group's Secretary-Treasurer.
Uplifting dream was born century ago
Within 18 months, Bell-led group had Silver Dart in Baddeck sky
By TERA CAMUS Cape Breton Bureau
The ChronicleHerald.ca October 1, 2007
BADDECK — It was 100 years ago today when it all began.
High on the hill overlooking Baddeck Bay, Alexander Graham Bell invited four men to his estate to begin working on a dream that would literally take flight 18 months later, in 1909.
Backed with $30,000 from Mr. Bell's wealthy socialite wife Mabel, five creative minds forged a partnership known as the Aerial Experiment Association after the famous, aging inventor convinced them they could take flight in an aircraft after experimenting with large kites on and over his Baddeck estate.
"It's amazing to think that for thousands and thousands of years, we couldn't fly and within 18 months, bang, we're flying among the stars," Mr. Bell's great-grandson, Hugh Bell Muller, told The Chronicle Herald inside the Kite House where the five men constructed the aircraft.
Mr. Muller and his wife still walk on the original floorboards of that former barn, now renovated into a comfortable home, where Alec Bell, as he was known locally, worked with British immigrant Douglas McCurdy, a resident of Baddeck, and Toronto's Casey Baldwin, both expert engineers. He also invited United States Lt. Thomas Selfridge and Glenn Curtiss, a New Yorker who built engines.
All five men lived in "the big house," better known as Beinn Bhreagh, which now is only open in summers for Mr. Bell's direct descendants.
"In Bell's time, he knew all the scientists," Mr. Muller said. "As a kid, he dreamed about flying while watching the birds."
The Wright Brothers, who had proved an aircraft could lift off using a catapult method, were busy in the United States trying to understand how to maintain flight.
"Bell was concerned with two things, the first was safety and the other was stability of controls to maintain a flight," Mr. Muller said. "Ms. Bell told him: 'The five of you get an airplane in that air' and it took 18 months to get the Silver Dart."
The first aircraft built in the Kite House in 1907 was the Cygnet, but it had no engine. It carried Selfridge for seven minutes and 51 metres and "flew beautifully" before it crashed into the water below Mr. Bell's estate.
Moving on from the Cygnet, Bell and the five members of the AEA built four powered airplanes that were stable and reliable in flight. The culminating aircraft was the famous "Silver Dart" which was the first airplane to fly in the British Commonwealth of Nations when it lifted off the frozen waters of Bras d'Or Lake on February 23, 1909.During this centennial celebration year of the massive Cygnet kite, a special commemorative kite fly was organized by the Canadian Kite Federation/Federation Canadienne du Cerf-Volant amd the Drachen Foundation of Seattle WA. The event was held on the Bell estate at Beinn Bhreagh overlooking Bras d'Or Lake in Baddeck, Nova Scotia on August 21, 2007.
Gary Mark of CKF/FCCV and Scott Skinner of the Drachen Foundation were instrumental in putting together the kite fly tribute to Bell's work with the Cygnet kite. More information can be found in an excerpt from the web site of the Drachen Foundation. A terrific video of interviews with Gary Mark, principal organizer of the event, and Hugh Muller, great-grandson of Alexander Bell is found on a special video clip at YouTube. Another interesting video clip is the CBC-TV Newsworld live broadcast of the event, also at YouTube.
In the autumn of 2004, CBC ran a television series entitled: The Greatest Canadian. Alexander Graham Bell was one of the featured candidates for the title of the greatest Canadian. I had the privilege of working on the production of that television show along with my good friend Gary Mark. To read about that story you can see an earlier posting in the Best-Breezes blog that detailed Bell's tetrahedral kites and see how a kite was included in the video taping for the show.
In the web site section of Best-Breezes, you can find more detailed information on Bell's Cygnet kite, the aerodromes of the Aerial Experiment Association, and a variety of other references on Bell's work with kites and aircraft. Be sure to check out the article entitled: Alexander Graham Bell: After the Telephone - Tetrahedral Kites, Airplanes and Hydrofoils.
One hundred years later the memory of Alexander Graham Bell's giant tetrahedral kites still lifts the imagination and makes the spirit soar!
Afghan Kites Get a Lift from European Troops - Patang! Patang!
Kites returned to most areas of Afghanistan after the Taliban government left office in 2002 when American troops entered the country. The Taliban had banned kite flying as a frivolous and 'non-Islamic' activity. Kites again took to the skies in the nation's capital, Kabul, right after the exit of the Taliban regime.
Some areas of Afghanistan remained under local Taliban influence long after a new government was installed in Kabul. In these areas, kite making and kite flying were still not permitted.
Recently, the Polish Battle Group, part of a coalition force that is patrolling parts of Afghanistan in support of the new government, entered Ghazni province's Andar district. Here, kite flying was still banned due to the local influence of Taliban sympathizers.
Since there is a strong tradition of kite making and kite flying in the Afghan culture (see previous stories in this Blog), the Polish troops came equipped with kites to aid them in making friends with the local residents.
Speaking to Black Anthem Military News, Polish Pfc Chris Demko reported:
"It seems like time stopped here 2,000 years ago. We see these kids running around with nothing, not even shoes, and we want to change that."
Everywhere they went, children crowded around the vehicles as the smiling soldiers pulled out boxes of shoes, clothes, school supplies and toys. But the biggest hit of all were the multi-colored kites that the soldiers unfolded for them.
With big grins and excited chattering, the children jumped up and down shouting, "Patang! Patang!" (the Pashto word for kite.)
Soon the sky had several of the yellow, green and red kites with International Security Assitance Forces logos flying, much to the delight of the children dancing around below.
"These kites are so much fun," said Mahmad-Amid Hahn, a 12-year- old boy, as he made whooping sounds while his kite dipped and swerved in the air. "The Taliban would never give us these things."
For the children who had never seen a kite before, some of the Polish soldiers stepped in to assist, unfolding the kites and showing them how to take off with a running start to get it airborne.
In addition to the kites, the Polish forces distributed food, clothing, medical supplies and school supplies in an effort to assist the local people.
The kites that quickly climbed into the skies, however, seemed to be a large symbol that things had changed in the region.

Some small and mid-sized business owners may at some point hear the term "customer relationship management" and ask themselves what that means. Others may already be familiar with CRM, but have some misconceptions about what CRM software can do for their business.
No matter which side of the fence you find yourself on, chances are that you have the same questions as many other companies throughout the business world. Soffront Software answers some of the most frequently asked questions about CRM solutions and how they can be beneficial to your business.
• What is a Customer Relationship Management system anyway?
A customer relationship management system integrates sales, marketing, and customer service information in one centralized, manageable program. It enables a business, particularly one whose primary focus is sales, to be able to keep all of its information in one easy-to-manage location.
• What's the difference between on-premise CRM solutions and cloud CRM?
An on-premise CRM program is essentially software that requires a physical installation onto your computer hardware and regular upgrades or updates. The company pays a software licensing fee, which is sometimes charged per computer and other times paid through a flat fee for the program. All of your customer data is saved on an on-site server, and for the most part, your IT staff is responsible for service and maintenance of the product.
A cloud CRM is a hosted CRM application that is accessed online. There is often minimal to no installation on office computers, all data is stored on a remote server, and the business pays a monthly subscription fee. The zero footprint aspect of the software eliminates the need for a CRM-dedicated IT department because service and maintenance is done entirely by the host company.
• How can a CRM help my small business?
While you may think that only large operations are a good fit for CRM solutions, that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, a small- to mid-sized business may benefit more than larger companies from CRM applications. Customer relationship management systems are mainly used to improve efficiency by incorporating consumer information into one system. Consolidation benefits small businesses because as the business grows, they are able to keep everything in one place and track their growth.
• How do I know if the CRM program I chose is working for my business?
A good CRM application will have the ability to compile reports on customer relations, satisfaction, and interaction with your sales staff. Analytics are a crucial part of sales and marketing; this information gives you a comprehensive overview of how your system is performing and whether or not it's working for you.
• Do I need to get an IT department for my CRM?
It depends on whether you choose an on-site CRM or an on-demand (cloud) CRM. Choosing an on-premise option for your CRM solutions means that you will probably need an IT department to do your service and maintenance. This can be a budgetary burden because of the need for extra staff in addition to the cost of the program itself and any appropriate updates and equipment.
By contrast, a cloud CRM application is handled remotely by a host company. The monthly fee therefore includes maintenance, updates, and servicing, which can make a cloud CRM the more economical of the two options.

Practice day at En-Joie is extra important for Fuzzy Zoeller
8/13/2013 (Updated 7:18:41 PM)ENDICOTT -- Tuesday was the first chance competitors in this weekend's Dick's Sporting Goods Open had to play at En-Joie.
About half of the field chose to participate in the practice rounds, and many of them spent time walking the course with their caddies and learning the play of the course. Others also spent time working on their long game at the driving range.
Golfers practiced chip shots and putting too. For a certain member of the field-- Fuzzy Zoeller-- the putting practice was the most important.
"Up in Minnesota, my putter found the lake on the 18th hole. I was in search of a putter, so that's what I did most of the day, was looking for that new magic wand if there is such a thing," Zoeller said.
While the golfer has not yet found that perfect putter, he has narrowed the field down to two.

NORMAN — Most of Oklahoma's football players spent spring break blowing off steam. Most went home for the week. Others hit the road for various vacation destinations.
Quarterback Landry Jones used the time for some extra practice. He went to Palo Alto, Calif., for four days of one-on-one time with quarterback guru George Whitfield.
Whitfield, who has made a name for himself working with prep quarterbacks as well as NFL starters, called Jones' father, Kevin, to see if the Sooner quarterback would be interested in going through a couple of sessions over spring break.
"I saw him on TV and heard he was a good fundamentals coach," Jones said. "I decided instead of spending all my time at the beach or doing something like that, I went out there and got some work in."
Jones said he just wanted to get another opinion on what he's been doing and where he is fundamentally. Whitfield worked with Cam Newton before he was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft. Whitfield is also working with former Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, who is expected to be the No. 1 pick when the NFL draft is held later this month.
Jones, who will be a fifth-year senior this season, is expected to be in the mix for the top spot in the 2013 NFL draft.
The decision to see Whitfield did raise a few eyebrows. Sooner offensive coordinator Josh Heupel has a strong history of developing quarterbacks.
"I just wanted a different look," Jones said. "I spend a lot of time with coach Heupel, and he's a great coach. I just wanted a little different perspective on things and seeing if he could help me out or anything like that. It was just one of those deals where I just wanted to get work in."
OU coach Bob Stoops and receivers coach Jay Norvell said they didn't find about Jones' trip after the fact. Neither said they had a problem with Jones seeking outside help.
"Why not? I go to pro camps all the time. I go to watch other teams practice. You pick up one or two extra things that help. Why not? You share it with someone else. You share it with coach Heupel," Stoops said. "I share whatever I see at some other practices. Sometimes you implement it and sometimes you don't. Other times you get there and you find you'd already been doing those things as it is. It never hurts to always be seeking information."

Heaven on earth has been spotted in Oklahoma State basketball's new locker room
Oct 23, 2010, 1:37 PM EDT
Now I'm not saying this is the best locker room in the universe, but the $4 million renovation to Oklahoma State's basketball facility probably resembles what Bill Gates WISHES his house looked like.
There are hair dryers specifically designed to accommodate the wide range of heights found on a basketball team, (video following the jump), marble staircases that look they'd be really painful to take a pillow ride down (so that's probably a negative), weird chandeliers that resemble alien spacecraft, a universal sound system that will probably be the source of everyone's arguments as they vie over musical tastes, enough TV's to watch yourself watch yourself watch television if you were so inclined to do such a thing — though that's probably more up Alex Rodriguez's alley — and a pool table.
Good luck getting those kids into classrooms now, Cowboys. You should have invested in a Calvin & Hobbes transmogrifier because nobody entering that locker room will ever leave. It's science: When an entity finds an environment that makes them completely comfortable they're going to do whatever is in their power to stay there, and that's why they needed a crane this summer to remove me from Six Flags Wild Water Kingdom. From Yahoo Sports' The Dagger:
If the Oklahoma State basketball program loses a recruiting battle to one of its Big 12 adversaries, just know it probably wasn't because the Cowboys' facilities were inadequate.
Freshmen Mike Cobbins, Brian Williams and Markel Brown recently donned white bathrobes and took viewers on an MTV Cribs-style tour of the basketball team's newly built locker rooms, player's lounge and training facility. The $4 million privately funded project to expand the men's and women's basketball locker rooms at Gallagher-Iba Arena began on Nov. 2 2009 and was completed this month.
Who wants to stage a hostile takeover of that magical place with me? I'll bring the pitchforks, you bring the mojitos.

Is this for your designs our something you would actually order? I see you are in Costa Rica and just a quick check on shipping from the US is something like $140. Then you got the cost of diecutting which is even more expensive than traditional cards. I'd email PrintPlace, 48hourprint, PSPrint, Printingforless, 4over4, all those are .com's for more info, you would prolly even have to have a custom diecut made if it's not something they have which prolly even involves a set up fee.
I do agree custom diecut cards look amazing especially done with metallics, spot uv and the likes.

Former Halifax sheriff pleads guilty to embezzlement
- Last Updated on 12:34 PM 07/12/13
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
Former Halifax County Sheriff Stanley L. Noblin pleaded guilty Friday morning in Halifax County Circuit Court to five embezzlement charges in connection with the appropriation of sheriff's office funds for his personal use, including asset forfeiture funds and drug task force funds.
Pursuant to a plea agreement, the commonwealth chose not to prosecute at this time two additional related felony embezzlement charges and 14 felony forgery charges against the former sheriff.
There was no agreement regarding sentencing, with sentencing in the case continued to Oct. 17.
Substitute Commonwealth's Attorney Eric A. Cooke of Southampton County told Judge J. Leyburn Mosby Jr. Noblin converted an estimated $103,930 in sheriff's office monies for his own use, including $48,500 from the asset forfeiture fund and $32,500 from the drug task force fund.
Approximately $9,250 of the funds was used for legitimate expenses, according to Cooke, who expects Noblin would owe restitution in the amount of $103,930.38.
The prosecutor told the court that Noblin had met with Virginia State Police and Special Agent Accountant William Talbert Jr. on several occasions during the investigation and admitted he had converted sheriff's office funds to his own use because of financial hardship.
Noblin's wife had no knowledge of Noblin's activities, according to Cooke.
Noblin's attorney, Glenn L. Berger of Altavista, affirmed his client has admitted his guilt and has taken responsibility for his actions.
There was no "scheme" to hide it, and none of the embezzled monies was used for illegal activities, Berger told the court.
Cooke told the court that as part of the plea agreement the commonwealth will "not be seeking other charges.
"The citizens here want closure," Cooke noted.
"It's a good resolution," said Mosby when referring to the plea agreement.
"The matter needs to be resolved with the citizens in the county. I think five is certainly enough."

Cameron Alford is quiet, but his bat isn't.
High school athletes rarely come more reserved than Alford. The senior right fielder has provided a major offensive spark for Tampa Catholic High School's Crusaders this season, as well as quiet leadership.
"He doesn't have to say much, the others can tell by the look on his face when he's being serious," assistant coach Tab Joiner said. "They all get quiet when he does talk because you know he's going to say something."
Alford currently sits fifth on the team's roster in terms of batting average at .426, but his 3 home runs and 24 runs batted in lead the team. Most recently, Alford helped beat Clearwater Central Catholic in the regional semifinal with a three run home run and drove in seven runs during a district game. Tampa Catholic head coach Pat Russo has continually been impressed by Alford's ability.
"He's worked a lot on his swing and he gets to where if he's on a roll, you can ride him a long way," Russo said. "I came here and he was a .375 hitter, so he's always been good. But he's smoking the ball right now like I've never seen. Ever since districts he has been a player we look forward to having at the plate."
The growth of Alford as a player has been steady throughout his high school career, but after an offseason of reshaping his offensive game, Alford is having the best season of his high school career.
In his freshman and sophomore years, Alford struggled to be patient at the plate. Nowadays strategy is always on his mind.
"In the early years I wasn't really looking for my pitch," Alford said. "Now I've matured and I've learned how to do that. Other than that it's just that I've changed my stance and did a lot of different drills in the batting cage. All of it has helped."
His technique is an area that grabbed the attention of Russo.
"He has really good hands," Russo said. "From point A to point B he generates some gorilla power that is just incredible. He's hit two balls in practice over the last week that have earned him a new nickname; the big donkey. We're just hoping he stays hot for the next game."
Tonight, Alford and the Crusaders will travel to Bishop Verot in Fort Myers for the regional final, a game that could give them a chance at playing for a state championship.
The Crusaders record is deceptive at 14-14, but Russo's team has played its best baseball of the season over the last three weeks, something Russo wouldn't exchange for consistency throughout the year.
"I'd rather we came in 14-14 and still be playing right now than to have come in 24-4 and be out early," Russo said. "We played a pretty tough schedule this year and I think that it's paying off for us now. What we've done here is establish that we're a family and we all see the goal as the same thing."
The calm his team has exhibited over the last week in preparing for tonight's game has been encouraging for the coaching staff.
"This is our biggest game of the season but the way they're approaching it makes me think that they feel it's their time to do this," Russo said. "Hopefully we can get up and get going early on Friday so I can relax a little bit. I probably get the most intense of anybody in the dugout."

Numéro Cinq is fighting a guerrilla war against a culture that is determined to forget the beauty, grace and precision of well-written words. In this essay, Anna Maria Johnson goes to the barricades with a lovely meditation on a tiny point—James Agee's unconventional use of colons in his great book Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. A small, small point, but the inspiration is prodigious for beauty of prose (and poetry) begins with attention to small details of correct (or eccentrically creative) technique.
James Agee's Unconventional Colons in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men
By Anna Maria Johnson
Ernest Hemingway, in a letter to Horace Liveright dated May 22, 1925, advised, "My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible . . . You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements." James Agee, unlike Ernest Hemingway, apparently had no compunction against experimenting with punctuation. Agee's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men makes both conventional and experimental use of the colon, which appears a grand total of 1,530 times in 424 pages, for an average of ~3.608 colons per page.
Agee's text is most heavily colon-saturated throughout the more experimental portions of the book (those passages most descriptive, lyrical, and expressive), while his more reportage-styled passages (those with direct quotations, facts and figures, literal information, and directly conveyed scenes) use few colons.
Agee's Use of Colons
In Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, the colon draws attention to itself most when it appears at the end of paragraphs, and when it is used rhetorical purposes rather than according to syntactical sense. Agee was surely aware of his significant reliance on the colon, even titling one section of the book, "Colon," as if the whole section were a thoughtful pause or breath, like the Bible's use of "Selah" in the Psalms. Agee consistently controls the colon use, using it to different effect in different passages of his book, according to the tone and sense he wishes to convey.
Why did Agee choose to employ the colon so prodigiously in this book, and toward what ends? Let's explore some of the ways, both conventional and experimental, in which he used the colon, and examine why he may have chosen to do so.
Agee often uses the colon in conventionally acceptable ways. For example, shortly after the Preface, Agee uses the colon conventionally when he lists the "Persons and Places" of the book as if they are a cast of characters for a play ("FRED GARVRIN RICKETTS: a two-mule tenant farmer, aged fifty-four"). In the Table of Contents, colons separate section titles from their subtitles, as in "Part One: A Country Letter" (Agee 2). He also, in the expected way, places a colon before a list, as when he writes in his Preface of the project's components, "The immediate instruments are two: the motionless camera, and the printed word" (Agee x). Of course, it is allowable to place a colon before a direct quotation, as Agee does on page 13, "By my memory, he [Beethoven] said: 'He who understands my music can never know unhappiness again.' I believe it." These are inarguably appropriate and conventional instances of colon usage.

Here we go again. Israel takes the actions necessary to protect its citizens and remove a menace that is intent on exterminating Jews and wiping Israel off the map.
Guess who's being held at fault?
The propaganda machine of Hamas is proving once again its ability to sway public opinion and sympathy its way.
If you still have a Dec. 29 copy of The Daily Star, take a look at the very dramatic AP picture on Page 1. Tell me it's not posed. I can hear the photographer setting up the scene.
"OK, now, let me get down on the ground so the picture will be looking up at you. Much more effective. Now I want you to look off into the distance and look heroic. That's it, good. Now, I want you pointing off into the distance. No, it doesn't matter what you are pointing at, just point. One last thing. Move over here so that the smoke and dust are much heavier. Good, now hold it."
Click, click, click.
Another picture, among many, created for maximum impact. This one comes from the Dec. 31 online copy of the New York Times, the main propaganda arm of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, and any other "hate America" group.
This one shows a solitary man, hunched over and attempting to plant a shredded Hamas flag on top of the rubble of a supposed mosque hit by an Israeli bomb.
I can imagine that picture being set up. The photographer says, "OK, I want you off in the distance, appearing hunched over and exhausted. Wait, does someone have a Hamas flag we can use? Not that one, it's too new. Tear it up first. Now take the flag and move over there so I can get the top part of the destroyed 'mosque' in the picture. That's it, good. Now hold still."

A second Kansas youth has died from E. coli contamination, but health officials say the two cases are isolated and do not indicate an outbreak.
A 4-year-old Chase County boy is the latest victim of the disease, dying Sunday at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. A county health official says the unnamed boy's father is a rancher and the youth could have come into contact with cow manure.
An 18-month-old Liberal boy died Wednesday at the same Wichita hospital, and his brother was admitted with the same symptoms but is expected to be OK. Investigators aren't sure how the boys came into contact with the bacteria.
Infection control nurse Lois Rayhal says it only takes a little bacteria to cause diseases. She says the cases are a reminder that people need to wash their hands frequently, especially after coming into contact with cattle.

On Wednesday, Patch posted a , who has been keeping an eye on a pair of ospreys since late March, when they nested on Dune Road in Hampton Bays near the Ponquogue Bridge. The photo depicts an osprey carrying a fish and plastic bag.
Patch readers had a lot to say about the photo. The following is a round-up of their comments. Add to the conversation by posting your thoughts below.
wrote, "The fish collected the bag from the waters of Shinnecock Bay and gave it to the osprey who, in turn, recycled it at King Kullen in Hampton Bays. The Town Board's plastic bag recycling program is working like a charm...like a Lucky Charm, if you believe in leprechauns.
Now, imagine that the same fish and his little fish friends have been eating plastic bits and pieces all their life, while foraging for other food stuffs in our local waters. When it hits your plate you can enjoy a mouthful of the toxic chemicals that this plastic bag is made from. Still think "it tastes like chicken"?
Ms. Galardi is right...we have to "stop killing ourselves" by eliminating the source of pollution eaten by our fish stock, bird life, deer and other trapped and hunted animals that we bring to our tables, share with our parents, our children and our friends.
Let's take the politics out of these decisions before we can't get the pollution out of our waters, our food stream and our lives. Write to your Southampton Town Councilperson today to encourage the passage of a ban on single-use plastic bags, styrofoam cups and mylar balloons."
said, "Roger, that was just great. We will write our Representatives and voice our strong support of all the eco-friendly (non-political) measures and bans."
said, "This was a sad sight but, I think, some good will come of it. It is heartening to see support for the ban on plastic bags - and more as you so eloquently stated Mr. Blaugh."
wrote, "Glad to see that the osprey & the fish are teaming up to help out! Great photo, btw."
wrote, "Great photo. Even better message from Mr. Blaugh. What 'on earth' is holding up the plastic bag ban from becoming reality...that's it...REALITY. Well, here it is boys and girls...the REALITY of this situation is staring you right in the face...and it's looking back at your from your dinner plate, too. Enjoy your fish fry!"

|Updated: 12:55 a.m., Brown rallies BG boys to win over Bryan (2-27-13)
|Written by THOMAS SCHMELTZ/Sentinel Sports Writer
|Wednesday, 27 February 2013 23:56
The Bobcats trailed for most of the contest, but Vitto Brown led a late fourth-quarter charge to post a 59-54 victory over the Golden Bears at Swanton High School. PHOTO GALLERY
Brown scored 12 of BG's final 18 points including 10 straight after the Bobcats were behind 52-41 with 5:14 to go.
BG closed the game on an 18-2 run sparked by Brown's scoring spurt.
"I knew my team needed me to step up at that crucial moment in the game," Brown said. "I knew if I attacked the basket and tried to draw some fouls then I would be able to knock down the free throws."
Brown finished with a game-high 36 points, nine rebounds and five blocked shots. He was also 9-of-10 from the free-throw line, including 8-for-8 in the final 5:14.
Bryan held a 47-37 lead entering the fourth quarter before BG's pressure defense began giving the Golden Bears trouble.
The Bobcats cut the lead to 52-41 and went on to force six turnovers in the final six minutes of the game, allowing Brown to take control.
"We knew the first half of the fourth quarter wasn't cutting it," said Brown of the BG defense. "They were continuing to have that eight- or nine-point lead and we knew we had to pick it up. It's all about pride really."
"We didn't have a choice. We got our back against the wall," BG head coach Von Graffin said of the strong final five minutes.
Graffin praised the defense of Evan Gardner and Mitchell Gardner in the waning moments of the game as the two put pressure on Bryan's guards forcing the bulk of the fourth-quarter turnovers.
"We were able to extend our pressure and we got some things," Graffin said. "We went smaller tonight and got a little quicker and I thought that was a key."
But things were not as exciting for the Bobcats prior to the final minutes. In fact, BG was out-played and out-hustled by the Golden Bears for the majority of the game.
Bryan, on the heels of Austin Schimmoeller's five first half 3-pointers, held a 35-27 lead at the half.
After Lamontá Stone cut the lead to 35-29 Schimmoeller's catch-and-shoot triple from the wing extended Bryan's lead back to 38-29.
Schimmoller finished with 22 points, while teammate Sean Culler added 13. The two combined for nine of Bryan's 10 3-pointers in the game.
"Not at all," said Brown when asked if his team expected Bryan to be as tough as they were. "(Shimmoeller) really showed up in that first half ... that caught us by surprise. They were also more aggressive than we expected."
"I told the kids they'd play hard," Graffin said. "(Bryan) did some nice things on the offensive end in the first half, allowing themselves to get some pretty good shots."
Stone contributed to Brown's offensive production with 10 points and seven rebounds, five on the offensive end.
Evan Gardner tallied nine points including one 3-pointer and gave BG its first lead of the second half on a layup with 1:55 to go, making it 53-52. His layup followed Brown's 10-0 scoring streak.
BG (13-10) plays Napoleon (9-13) in a sectional final on Friday at 8 p.m. at Swanton. The Bobcats were 2-0 in Northern Lakes League play against the Wildcats this year, recording wins of 65-53 and 70-68.
"We certainly won't overlook Napoleon," Graffin said. "They've already played us tough twice."
"There are seniors at Bryan that want to play tomorrow and there are seniors at Bowling Green that want to play tomorrow and now there are seniors at Napoleon that want to play the next day. It's a fun time of the year. We've got a group that's capable of doing some things and we can be good and be bad both in the same night."
Stone, 4-2—10; Donaldson, 0-0—0; Herringshaw, 0-0—0; E. Gardner, 3-1-0—9; M. Gardner, 1-0—2; Brown, 12-1-9—36; Dill, 1-0—2. TOTALS: 21-2-11—59.
Jones, 0-0—0; Shaffer, 0-0—0; Culler, 2-3-0—13; T. Martin, 2-0—4; Schimmoeller, 1-6-2—22; Minor, 0-1-0—3; Spiess, 2-2—6; A. Martin, 3-0—6; Hug, 0-0—0; Rupp, 0-0—0. TOTALS: 10-10-4—54.

by: The Observer Staff
East County students from Nolan and Haile middle schools and Willis Elementary School were among the winners at 40th Annual 4-H/Tropicana Public Speaking Manatee County Competition May 9 at the Manatee County Agricultural Center in Palmetto.
Students from eight middle schools and 34 elementary schools in Manatee County competed in this year's competition.
Kendall Ganey from Bradenton Christian School captured first place with her speech, "My Crooked Tooth." Second place went to Alisha Erozer of Nolan Middle for her speech, "The Crash." Third place was won by Sydney Lang of Lincoln Middle for her speech, "Fun with Kayaking." Fourth place went to Jessica Morgan-Daves of Haile Middle for her speech, "My Dog, Chester."

Campus Housing:
Some beautiful dorms, rest aren't great. Off campus is way less expensive.
Campus Housing:
Dorms are more expensive than off campus housing and are worse quality. This really needs to change. Students also must live in dorms for freshman and sophomore year
Campus Housing:
Housing pretty good here at GW. Well, sometimes. Most of the building are very nice and there are a lot of different housing options (singles, suite style quads, doubles, etc). Dorms like Madison are very nice--plenty of room and such. Others, like Thurston, are a kind of run down and gross (it's the freshman party dorm). The Mt. Vernon dorms are much nicer than the Foggy Bottom rooms especially West Hall which has a gym, dance studio, recording studio, theatre, and dinning hall plus kitchen and laundry on every floor plus your own microwave/fridge/freezer in every room (the layout is 4 singles adjoined to a common room in an apartment style). The only catch is that trek up to Foxhall Rd get real old real fast. They say it's a 10 minute ride. Which is true if there's zero traffic. But most of the time it will take 15-30 minutes and up to an hour if the traffic is really bad. Essentially, if you want to live on Mt. Vernon, make sure you end up in West (despite all of the suicides from that dorm in 2014). Living in GW is also very pricey. In my opinion, most of the dorms are overpriced but hey, that's DC.
Campus Housing:
I got the dorm I wanted and it's gorgeous
Campus Housing:
Housing gets better as you get older, but depending on the dorm you live in as a freshman, you could have 4 years of amazing housing. Freshman housing on the foggy bottom campus (based on age and cleanliness): Potomac, Lafayette, Thurston, Madison.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by David Glidden
GW's dorms are definitely some of the sweetest in the country—the majority of them are converted apartment buildings and hotels, or recently-built facilities. About half of the freshman class will live in Thurston Hall, GW's largest dorm. Because of its reputation as a party dorm, most students who live in Thurston either love it or hate it—but most love every minute of it. Rooms range from doubles to sixes, and each has a bathroom and one or more walk-in closets. Although they might sound spacious, the rooms are cramped and residents sometimes feel like they're on top of each other. Because more than 1,000 first-years are living together, there's always a party in Thurston, so it can be hard to concentrate on homework there. Potomac House is another large freshman dorm, but much newer and nicer. Other freshman dorms are smaller, older, and quieter, but can still form a sense of community.
Unlike dorms at some other city schools, GW's are all located very close to or on campus, with only a few exceptions. Freshmen placed in the dorms on the Mount Vernon campus have differing opinions about where they live. The 15-minute shuttle ride to the campus makes it much less convenient, especially when you have an 8 a.m. class on the Foggy Bottom campus to get to. However, many have a strong sense of pride and community living on the Vern and enjoy the small dorms and peaceful surroundings. The only other undergraduate dorm that is off-campus is City Hall, a one- or two-minute walk outside campus boundaries. Many students feel no need to move out of University housing because most of GW's accommodations are so beautiful. The newest dorm at 2135 F Street is reserved for seniors but offers four singles in a suite configuration with bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, dishwasher, and laundry washers and dryers in each suite. The University prides itself on its facilities and residence halls and purchases and builds dorms regularly.

McCAIN ON TEACHERS: Sen. John McCain returned to his high school alma mater Tuesday to reminisce about a teacher who inspired him and stress his support for weeding out the bad in today's classroom instructors.
"We should reward the best of them with merit pay and encourage teachers who have lost their focus on the children they teach to find another line of work," he said at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va.
CLINTON ON QUITTING: Addressing a meeting of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton compared herself to Rocky Balboa, the scrappy underdog boxer from Philadelphia memorably depicted in the 1976 Oscar-winning film. She said that she, like Rocky, isn't a quitter.
Recalling a famous scene on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Clinton said to end her presidential campaign now would be as if "Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those art museum steps and said, 'Well, I guess that's about far enough.' "
OBAMA ON MCCAIN: In Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Sen. Barack Obama criticized McCain's policies on the U.S. troop presence in Iraq, trade and tax cuts. In his town-hall session Tuesday, and in other campaign appearances in recent days, Obama has sought to frame the race as a general election matchup between him and Republican rival McCain.
