The Treehouse exceeded our expectations! Beautifully decorated, immaculate and within a short walk to all Ogunquit has to offer. The owner, David Shephard, was always on-hand should a minor problem arise (the cable box happened to be out of order), and if he could not be reached, a close neighbor/friend was there, and always more than willing to help (it was a very easy fix!) It was the perferct location, and a vacation to be remebered. We could not have asked for anything more!

A True Gem
Review submitted: August 6, 2013 Date of arrival: July 27, 2013
Now that I am back home and almost completely unpacked I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your beautiful home in Ogunquit, ME. We all enjoyed the town, beaches, restaurants, antique store and the spacious accommodations.
It was so nice that my husband and I could retreat to the downstairs for some privacy and have our teenage daughters be quite happy occupying the upstairs space. You can tell that a lot of thought and care was given to the planning and layout of your home. I especially appreciated not having to take my own sheets and towels and having to make and strip beds. What a luxury that turned out to be.
A couple of days into the vacation one of our cars had some trouble (power steering belt). Your neighbors were quite helpful with finding us a reputable auto care place in Wells and we had AAA tow our car there. The car was fixed in a few days and the fees were reasonable.
We won't forget our stay and will highly recommend your lovely home to our friends in the future. I hope we will get to visit again sometime soon.
Thanks again

Owners response: It truly 'makes my day' to receive a message like this from one of our guests after their stay at the Treehouse. It is great that so many do take the time to write or call to express their delight. We know they'll have great memories and we will remember them fondly, as well.

Better and Better on each visit
Review submitted: May 22, 2013 Date of arrival: May 1, 2013
This was our third stay at the Tree House and a review is long overdue. Each time we arrive, my wife surveys the house, decks and gardens and announces, "I don't know how David does it, but everything looks even better than the last time."
This is a great house with a terrific, responsive owner. On each visit our recently married daughter and her husband join us for a part of the visit. They get to have the privacy that "newly weds" need on the upper floor while my wife and I get to "rekindle" those days of memory on the lower level.
Speaking as a lucky guy, with a great cook for a wife (who actually enjoys cooking for all of us on vacation), the house has every dish, pot, pan and fork one could imagine needing. There are televisions, entertainment players and David's favorite movies, in case you forgot yours.
The house is a 10 minute walk to the center of Ogunquit and 12 minutes to the beach (all on sidewalks). Ogunquit in the spring, summer and fall (although we love the fall and I shouldn't give this secret away) is like no other place by the ocean.
We can't wait to return for our next visit and I promise you will be "writing me" a note what a great stay you had at the Tree House.
Owners response: "I don't know how David does it..." ? It is definitely a team effort. David has the best property management staff whom you will never see because they do such a fantastic job (Thank you, Janice!) And David has guests who know that we want them to have them best vacation and will care for the Treehouse as if it were their own. A sincere thank you for your kind words, which make all our efforts worthwhile.

The Perfect Getaway
Review submitted: March 23, 2013 Date of arrival: August 18, 2012
Bright, sunny and spacious. Super clean and fully equipped. Close to town and an easy walk to the beach. The Treehouse was everything our large family had hoped for... and more. David and his team made sure that everything was perfect. We have booked the same week in 2013!
Owners response: We understand how important a vacation is to our guests. They arrive with families large and small eager to make the Treehouse their 'home away from home'. With three bedroom, three bathrooms, two fully-equipped kitchens, two spacious living rooms, etc., etc., we provide them with plenty of space in which to enjoy themselves. Central air-conditioning helps them to fully relax in the hot summer months. And, yes, the Treehouse is just a five-minute walk to town and an 'easy' ten-minute walk to the beach! Thanks, Michael, for your kind words. We look forward to seeing you in August!

An Oasis in Maine
Review submitted: February 20, 2013 Date of arrival: June 30, 2012
The Treehouse was everything we hoped for and more. The property is meticulous and well-maintained, and as lovely as the pictures show. It was also quiet and we felt like we were away from everything, yet in a very nice neighborhood. We were able to walk downtown and to the beach as everything is so close. This area of Maine has some of the best restaurants in the East. So we dined, relaxed, went to a play at the Oguinquit Playhouse (which is a must), and enjoyed every minute of it. We loved it so much we're going back this year! It is truly a "home away"!
Owners response: Thanks for the great review! We are always pleased to have guests return from year to year. Some may skip a year or two. Others come back at another time of the year. This year, we have several returning from last year. One family is returning for their fourth year and this time they are staying for two weeks! We are delighted that so many agree that the Treehouse is the right place to be to enjoy all the magic that Ogunquit has to offer.

A Little Slice of Paradise!
Review submitted: August 28, 2012 Date of arrival: August 11, 2012
Having read the many rave reviews of The Treehouse, I have to admit that our hopes were high. That said, our stay at The Treehouse exceeded our expectations in every way! The house is lovely, with five star features that would satisfy even a Four Seasons regular. The beds were comfy, the linens crisp, the living rooms warm and welcoming. The location was a five minute walk from the center of town, just far enough to ensure a quiet stay, but close enough for me to nip into town for an early morning coffee, bringing fresh bread and muffins back for the later sleepers in our group. Our children loved the proximity to the beach, as well as the ample space the house provided to play when the weather was less cooperative. All in all, our best Ogunquit experience to date...it is a house to rival all others! :)
Owners response: At the Treehouse, we work hard to deliver the luxury, location and privacy that we put in our headline. We feel rewarded when we receive 'rave reviews' such as this one that reflect exactly those elements. A sincere thank you to you, Scott, as well as to all our other kind reviewers!

Creating Memories at the Tree House
Review submitted: August 6, 2012 Date of arrival: June 9, 2012
Two couples, best of friends from California, looked forward to creating memories in Ogunquit, Maine in early June.
We were sure that the Tree House was the perfect "home away from home" for us, and it turned out to be exactly that.
The Tree House reflects the comfort, style, and charm of the small seaside resort town of Ogunquit. We truly felt we were in New England the moment we walked through the front door.
The house provided both the "togetherness" space we desired, as well as the more "private" space we needed.
We especially enjoyed our morning breakfasts, and our late afternoon happy hours on the deck amidst the treetops.
The Tree House provides a perfect location to explore the local beaches, the picturesque Marginal Way stroll, and the artsy boutique shops and cafes of the village. We loved everything about Ogunquit. In fact, the town with its ecclectic
galleries, artsy ambiance, and delightful cafes reminded us of an East Coast answer to our Laguna Beach.
Since it was our first vacation ever in Maine, we readily utilized the local information that David, our host, provided
by phone, as well as the booklets and restaurant recommendations provided in print form at the property itself.
The wonderful memories we four created during our week's stay at the Tree House will last in our minds and in our hearts for many years to come!
Owners response: From all over the United States and from Canada and Europe, even from our neighboring New England states, guests come to the Treehouse. We have been delighted to introduce them to magic of Ogunquit and the glories of the Maine coast. Some come back year after year and, while here, never leave Ogunquit. Some take advantage of our proximity to Boston. Others are more adventurous and travel further south and or further north. Some return at different times of the year to experience the various seasons. We love to hear from them and about the wonderful times they have shared while staying at our Treehouse!

Beach Vacation
Review submitted: October 11, 2011 Date of arrival: August 21, 2010
My husband and I have been going on our summer vacation for years to Ogunquit and have stayed in this house every time except one year when we waited too long to book. This year (summer 2011) we went on a big family vacation to Cape Cod and missed "our" Treehouse and Ogunquit a ton!
This house is in the perfect location. It feels away from it all yet still so close to walk to the beach, shops and lots of restaurants. We always feel like we are back home again when we return each summer. David has been nothing but wonderful to us and so pleasant and easy to work with upon booking and arriving in Ogunquit. The house has everything you need and it is so wonderful that they provide all the linens, especially when you are traveling with children, you don't have to think about packing so many things because you know that David will have thought of it already.
We look forward to the coming summer and returning to Ogunquit!
Owners response: We feel truly complimented when a guest books a return visit. We do what we can to make our guests feel 'at home' and we are delighted when someone returns year after year or when a guest stays for a summer vacation and then books a week in the winter or weekend in the spring!

Very comfortable and spacious
Review submitted: September 3, 2011 Date of arrival: July 23, 2011
We are a family of five from the United Kingdom and we thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay at The Treehouse.
It is very spacious, well appointed, beautifully maintained and an ideal home from home in the beautiful resort of Ogunquit. The house is a few minutes walk from the beach, shops and restaurants. The house is situated on a very quiet street and is an ideal base to explore Ogunquit and its surroundings. The house has everything you could need including beach chairs. David is a very helpful and hospitable host and we would certainly look no further when visiting Ogunquit again.

Charming spacious home
Review submitted: August 24, 2011 Date of arrival: August 13, 2011
My family and I had a "reunion" of sorts in Ogunquit and were fortunate to discover the Treehouse as a rental property for our week stay in August.
The treehouse is very spacious with both upstairs and downstairs living areas. The home is nicely appointed with charming decorative details and comfortable furniture. The two kitchens are nicely equipped and we found everything we needed to prepare dinner and drinks at "home". It was great to dine al fresco on the large patio and we also enjoyed a more formal meal in the dining room one rainy evening.
David was more than helpful answering any questions we had and even gave us directions for a more scenic, less busy road to the treehouse. David also informed us there were lightweight beach chairs available to take to the beach which were very convenient.
The home is a close walk to charming shops and the main beach access and we found everyone in Ogunquit to be friendly and helpful.
We will always cherish our time at the treehouse and may come back in colder weather to enjoy the home's two fireplaces!

Owners response: One need only read these reviews to see how fortunate we have been! Guests choose to stay at the Treehouse and find for themselves how unique and wonderful the Treehouse is. Some return year after year and several come back at different times of the same year. The Treehouse is open year-round and is as wonderful a winter-retreat as it is 'the place to be' for a summer vacation. We are thrilled to think that so many have memories that they cherish long after their stay at the Treehouse.

Room to Breathe
Review submitted: May 31, 2011 Date of arrival: May 26, 2011
I rented The Tree House for Memorial Day weekend for myself and a few friends. All of us just loved the house. It was clean, comfortable, and in a quiet, yet convenient location.
The downstairs was perfect for friends that wanted some peace and quiet, and to enjoy the large deck.
The owner David was very accommodating in meeting our needs, and was very good at keeping the lines of communication open for questions and special requests.
I would highly recommend this rental to anyone considering renting in Ogunquit that has more than 4 or 5 people, or a large family. It just worked out perfectly for us.
Thanks so much David!

Owners response: The Treehouse is very flexible and offers a very comfortable setup for families traveling with parents or in-laws desiring their separate space, yet being close to the rest of the 'gang'. Or perhaps you want the kids traveling in your group to have their own space (so you can have your privacy), yet have them close. The Treehouse is available all year round, and, during the off-season, for long weekends (three night minimum). The wood burning fireplace upstairs and the gas fireplace downstairs help to keep everyone warm and cozy!

What a lovely long weekend we had!!
Review submitted: May 26, 2011 Date of arrival: May 6, 2011
My husband and I stayed at the Treehouse for a long weekend early in May of this year. We had been several times in previous years when it was under someone else's management with our children and grandchildren and didn't quite know what to expect this time. Well, everything was absolutely perfect. It is truly a home away from home with all the comforts, beautifully decorated and absolutely immaculate. We love the closeness to the center of town - the bakery, candy shop (not that we need the extra calories - but what a treat) and of course the beach and the Marginal Way. It is the perfect place for a vacation and family gathering. David (by phone) and his staff (in person) were readily available and a delight to speak to. It was a special treat in that we were allowed to bring our border collie. We hope to stay at the Treehouse again and highly recommend this lovely vacation spot - it's a gem.

Owners response: At the Treehouse, we invite you to feel comfortable enough to engage in whatever activities you choose during the day and then to enjoy an elegant evening at the Treehouse. With two fully-equipped gourmet kitchens, two spacious living rooms and two decks, the Treehouse is yours to enjoy as your "home away from home." The Treehouse is available throughout the year and we are delighted to be able to offer it for long weekends during the off-season.

Treehouse Vacation !
Review submitted: December 2, 2010 Date of arrival: August 28, 2010
My family and I stayed at the Treehouse for the first time. Before we moved from the east coast to out west 5 years ago, we vacationed in Ogunquit every year for 10 years. We were very excited about going back and found our experience at the Treehouse to be wonderful. It was by far the best place we had every stayed at in our many years at Ogunquit.
The house and all the accommodations were fantastic and could not have asked for more. There was plenty of room from everyone – loved that there were three bedrooms and each with their own bath. They were impeccable and the beds very comfortable with fresh linens – just like home. The whole house was very comfy, relaxing, enjoyable and the amenities were outstanding. There was a heat wave while we there and the central air conditioning was great since we were not use to the humidity that came with the heat. The walk from the house to the Marginal Way every day was awesome!
When we are able to do another trip to Maine, this is where we will stay. Thank you for a fabulous time David; the customer service was excellent. Everthing far exceeded our expecations and past experiences !!
Owners response: At the Treehouse, we try to think of all we can do to make everyone's stay as enjoyable as possible, with the emphasis on clean and fresh and comfortable. When our guests provide feedback like this, we know that we are doing something right! Thank you, Colleen! We hope that your next visit to Maine will be soon!

Delightful Week
Review submitted: November 29, 2010 Date of arrival: September 4, 2010
The Treehouse was a great place for our family of 5. We had two other friends stay two nights and the Treehouse accommodated 7 very nicely. The location is absolutely excellent for walking to shops, dining, and the ocean. We found the house to be well equipped, clean. Playing games on the patio table on the lower deck was a daily activity. The weather Sept. 4-10 was favorable for all the activities we wished to participate in.
David is a wonderfully, attentive host and will go to any length to make you feel welcome.
Comes highly recommended for an Ogunquit destination.

Owners response: One of the joys of owning a vacation rental comes from getting to know people and having the opportunity to provide a memorable experience for them. "Motown" and I have yet to meet in person but, through emails and phone conversations, I feel as though we have known each other for years. She was the first to book a week for the 2010 season. At first, she selected the 4th of July week. For family logistics, she asked to change to the week of Sep 4-10 (Labor Day). "Motown", like so many of our guests, is such a delight, that I did not hesitate to agree to the change of dates for her. This enabled her family to enjoy the 'reunion' they had been planning to have at the Treehouse in Ogunquit!

The Treehouse-Perfect Vacation!
Review submitted: August 23, 2010 Date of arrival: July 24, 2010
We stayed at the Treehouse for two weeks and had ample contact with the owner
before and he was always available for any questions. He was great for recommending
anything in the area. We vacationed with our daughters and their spouses so the
three bedrooms each with its own bath worked wonderfully. We could not have
asked for more.
This is a wonderfully equipped home for a family vacation. It is perfectly
furnished and most comfortable. Kudos David!

Ogunquit at its Best!
Review submitted: August 21, 2010 Date of arrival: June 19, 2010
The Treehouse is the best-kept secret in Ogunquit. My husband and I, along with our little 11 year old Pug, Monty, drove from Ithaca to Ogunquit in June. It was love at first sight. Although the house is very close to the beach and to downtown Ogunquit, the Treehouse, which is situated on a quiet street, feels as though it is nestled in the Maine woods. We loved sitting on the top deck (there are two full-size decks) amid the pine trees and listening to the birds and NO traffic. The house is absolutely lovely, very well decorated and impeccable. I am a big cook and really appreciated the beautiful gourmet kitchen. (Again, not one kitchen but two!) It is a short walk to downtown and very good restaurants and the beach and the trolley car is nearby. Our children visited and were delighted to have their own space. We love the house so much that we have just planned another trip to the Treehouse in mid-October. Although we may have to wear our LLBean fleece, it will be lovely to visit our "home away from home" and look forward it to very much. The Treehouse is a very special getaway.
Recommended for: age 55+, families with teenagers, pet-friendly, sight seeing
Owners response: The Treehouse is a private house - and with 2,000 square feet of air-conditioned space and three bedrooms and three bathrooms, guests feel relaxed and comfortable. We try to think of everything one would want or need while away on vacation and still feel 'at home.' The two kitchens are fully-equipped; the bed linens are new and fresh; one can set an elegant dining table or be as casual as you'd like. There is plenty to do in Ogunquit but when you are in the Treehouse, there is plenty to do, as well. We have music, games, movies -- all for your enjoyment. We love that you would consider the Treehouse your "home away from home" - that means we have done something right!

My family and I had a grea time at this house and in Ogunquit. The pictures actually do not do proper justice to the actual house. It really is great and full of amenities.

My family vacationed for the first time at the Treehouse July 10-17 and loved every minute of it. The hosue is wonderful. Beautiful decor, lots of space, great location, wonderful decks. There were 7 of us including our 1 yerar old granddaughter and having two kitchens and several bathrooms came in very handy. We've gone to Ogunquit since 1975 and this is easily the nicest place we've stayed. We hope to go back. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a 'beautiful place by the sea.'

He wrote to me, "Hi David: I reviewed the Treehouse and commented somewhat there, but I can say a little more. Great space and welcoming space. Love the decor. Everything arranged in a way that was light and easy. Love the view of the treetops. Secluded but not so far away that we couldn't easily walk into town. having two kitchens and multiple baths was terrific. Well organized (the signs helped). Loved the chandelier and the dining area. Good combination of private and communal space. Loved having games, music, movies available. Very close to town and to the beach (which is a savings considering the expense of parking in the beach lot)....Our experience was superior and we would recommend the Treehouse to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Ogunquit.

Marvelous stay at the Treehouse!
Review submitted: October 19, 2009 Date of arrival: September 26, 2009
We had a marvelous stay at the Treehouse. There was plenty of room for the seven of us and having the separate living space downstairs was perfect for the kids to hang out and give us adults a little time to ourselves. Upon arrival everything was perfect, it was clean, nicely decorated and fully equipped for every need. The queen bed my husband and I slept on was so comfortable we found upon returning home the desire to change out our own. The location was in a quiet residential setting with an easy walk to the town shops and dining. All in all it was fabulous and we will return again some day soon!
Lastly David, I have to commend you on your friendly,helpful and courteous correspondence in regards to the booking of the Treehouse and the prompt return of our security deposit. Kind regards,

This was a perfect home for a vacation. The home is clean, well maintained with a decorator's touch and in a fantastic location. We could walk to the town, beach, movie house and restaurants. The owner was responsive to all of our needs-just a phone call away. The separate downstairs meant that our two children felt that they had a private apartment. Everything you could want was at your finger tips. We would love to go back to our TREEHOUSE!

3 Generations of a Happy Family
Review submitted: March 16, 2009 Date of arrival: July 26, 2008
After spending over 20 years vacationing in ME during the summer, we decided to take the entire family with us. The Tree House was the absolutely ideal place for all of us to spend time with each other, yet it also allowed us to have privacy. The house is bright and cheerful, but most of all, it was very roomy and comfortable. The decor is charming and each room (including bedrooms) are unique and tastefully done with plenty of closet space. What proved to be the most convenient and practical feature was the separate living space downstairs for my daughter and her family -- especially since they could do their laundry and come and go as they pleased without disturbing all the late sleepers upstairs!! The owners were always available and attentive to our needs; they were gracious and very friendly. We love the Tree House so much that we will be returning this summer -- we can't wait.

A Sure Bet Rental in OGT!
Review submitted: March 4, 2009 Date of arrival: August 23, 2008
Our family of 4 was extremely comfortable in this very clean, up to date and beautifully furnished home! The rooms are very large and newly decorated, and the home is very practical for a family but we would also use it for 2-3 couples to be very comfortable due to the large open concept kitchen/living room and 3 full bathrooms (2 en suite!). The two-storey deck is awesome and the home is very private. All the information provided on the web site is accurate and honest. The home is exactly a 10 minute walk (slow) to Main Beach. You can't miss with this rental! Also - the owners are extremely pleasant to deal with, organized and take tremendous pride and care in this property.

Our experiences at this Tree House
Review submitted: February 28, 2009 Date of arrival: June 29, 2008
We have rented the week of July 4th the past two seasons. We absolutely loved the house. It is extremely clean, well stocked, well furnished and very tastefully decorated. We also love the privacy. The neighborhood is very quiet. We also love the fact that you can park your car and never have to use it for the week. Outstanding restaurants and shops are all within walking distance of the house. Perkins Cove and the beach are all walkable and there is a trolley if needed. The house is also ideally suited for two families as there are bedrooms/bathrooms/living room and a kitchen on each floor. The house also has two wonderful decks that allow you to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air amongst the birds and the trees in a natural setting. This is a wonderful place to enjoy a nice barbecue or sit out in the sun and enjoy a good book.
We will be back again and again.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
Psalms 127:3
Children are considered a blessing, especially in Israel and predominantly religious Jerusalem. Parents speak favorably about their offspring and on Shabbat we traditionally see fathers bless their children. Unfortunately many fathers are unable to fulfil their obligations.
The statistics on poverty in Israel speak volumes. There is an alarming rise in the number of children in the poverty figures in Israel. Particularly among religious families, which in turn makes Jerusalem the city with the highest number of children living under the poverty line.
Israel Today has been committed for many years to ensuring a quality of life for all Israeli children.
Together we will be able to step up to the plate and help poor children.
Poverty among the youngest and the weakest in our nation has reached a shockingly high rate. The rate of poor children in Israel has risen more than 50% since 1998 and continues to increase.
Poverty among the youngest and the weakest in our nation has reached a shockingly high rate. The rate of poor children in Israel has risen more than 50% since 1998 and continues to increase.
Today, 47% of families with 4 or more children experience food insecurity. The most dramatic increase in Israel's poverty statistics was that of impoverished children, which is now at 36%.
Israel's government has put minimal efforts towards solving poverty problems and many mothers and fathers are seen begging in the marketplace just to feed their families.
Many Israeli children are seen in the city by themselves, while their parents are somewhere else from morning until night, trying to make ends meet.
This startling rise in child poverty should bring us to create solutions for this ever-increasing problem.
Children are our future and they are priceless gifts from God. How can turn our back on these innocent victims? God has a plan and purpose for their life; and we can help them and give them support.
You can help an Israeli child in need by sending a gift of support. Your gift will put food on their table and help them to grow up to become the leaders of tomorrow.

This is a demanding course that will require hard work, dedication, and self-direction. Like any distance learning course, you need to take control of the learning experience and expect to do a great deal of independent work. You must take responsibility for pacing yourself and keeping up with assignments. Of course, I am here to help you, to make sure you understand the material, and to teach you the material as thoroughly as possible. However, this cannot happen without your active participation in the learning experience. Become an active learner in all aspects of this class. Log onto the Blackboard site regularly and talk with me if you are confused or having difficulties with any aspect of the class or the technology. Know, also, that you can always make an appointment to meet with me on campus to discuss your progress. I am also available to answer questions by email, by messages in Blackboard, or virtually through Virtual Office. My goal is to make sure you learn, but I cannot achieve this goal unless you are an equal partner in this experience.
To make this class more
coherent and interesting, I have organized the essay assignments around a
common theme: Issues in America Today, and specifically those that have come
out in our very heated presidential election process. Be prepared to read about
current events affecting
In an online course, it is essential you understand what to expect from me so you understand that even though I may not be online at the same time you are, I am still aware of your course participation. So, keep in mind that I will not reply to every one of your discussion board posts because I am trying to encourage your interaction with each other. As already stated, you need to become an active learner in this environment and posting on the discussion board and responding to each other is essential to this. I will, however, always participate in each discussion board assignment in some way, and will always post a final thread that will sum up the key points from any given discussion board assignment. I will also respond to every Message sent to me and always within 24 hours (and usually much sooner) Monday through Friday. On the weekends, my response time will be slower, and if for some reason I am not available to respond over the weekend, I will let you know. Also, keep in mind that major assignments will be graded within one week of the day they were turned in and feedback and grades will be available for you then. I will always provide detailed feedback on a grade! Weekly discussion board grades will be available 2-4 days after the final discussion board post for the week. All of your grades will be available through the "Your Grades" button on the navigation bar in Blackboard.
Please also realize that I am available for extra help via virtual office hours (which is essentially a chat room). To access virtual office hours, click on the Virtual Office button in Bb (you may have to download a Java plug-in for this to work as indicated). This will bring you to a live chat room and. I will try my best to accommodate your schedule, which means I am available for conferences in the evenings!!!
objectives of this course are guided by

In order to move onto English 102, you must receive a grade of "C" (not a "C-") or better in this course. Grades will be determined based on the following:
Two essays: (15%, 20%) 35%
Final essay: 25%
Quizzes: 15% Discussion Board Posts: 20%
Grammar Presentation and Exam: : 5%
Each assignment (excluding Discussion Board posts—see the rubric at the end of this syllabus) will be graded on a scale of 0-100, corresponding to the following grade scale:
For essays 1 and 2, I may also give the grade RW. This stands for "Rewrite" and will require you to rewrite your paper and resubmit it within the allotted time (5 days). If you do not rewrite the paper as explained the grade will be an F. If you do rewrite the paper and improve it based on my comments, the new grade will stand. The reason I use this grade in English 101 is because I want to ensure that each student improves his or her writing skills, so if you turn in a paper that does not demonstrate adequate skills, I want you to rewrite it so you can improve and can gain the skills to pass the class and be successful in English 102. Please keep in mind that an RW grade will not be given to a paper that is incomplete and shows a lack of effort. This sort of paper will simply receive an F.
To access the following assignments in Blackboard, click on the Assignments button on the toolbar. I've organized the courses into units and each unit's work will be organized under the Assignments button to keep you better organized. Each unit's reading assignments can also be found through this Assignments button.
Two Essays (35%)
You will write two essays in this class and work through the writing process on each essay in order to produce your best work. You will have the option to rewrite one of these essays for a better grade. Each of these essays is required and failure to turn in any one essay will result in failure of the course. A detailed grading rubric will be provided with each essay.
Final Essay (25%)
You will write a 5-6 page research essay as your final essay assignment. This paper should use 3-4 authoritative sources and clearly argue a point on a specific, arguable topic. This assignment will prepare you for the longer (10-12 page) research paper you will be required to write in English 102.
Quizzes (15%)
Regular quizzes will be assigned that will cover reading and lecture material. These quizzes can be a combination of multiple choice and short answer questions. Each quiz needs to be completed by 11:59 PM on the day it is due. You can use lecture material, notes, and/or your book. Generally, those who do the readings and are involved in the discussion board assignments do well on these quizzes. The quizzes cannot be made-up or retaken.
Discussion Board Posts (20%)
As indicated on the assignment schedule, discussion board posts (DB) are a regular part of the course and must be completed by 11:59 PM on the date they are due. Generally, there are 2 discussion board posts due a week and multiple responses to other students' posts. Discussion Board is an important part of this class, as it functions as the part of the "class time" component. Here, you will communicate with fellow students and work together on assignments that will help you as you research and write your research paper. I cannot emphasize enough how important this component is to your success in the course. This is where you really engage in the course and become more than just a silent observer. This is essential for your success.
See the end of this syllabus for detailed grading criteria for DB posts.
Grammar Presentation and Exam (5%)
Each of you will pick one grammar topic to research and present to the class via the discussion board. The schedule of topics is available on the discussion board under the forum titled "Grammar Presentations." Pick a topic for your presentation from the list on the discussion board and a date on which you will present your topic. You will be working with another classmate on this project, so 2 or 3 people will sign up for any one topic and date, and it makes sense to sign up with someone who is also in your group (see "Groups" below), but this is not required. You need to sign up within the first week of class. Finally, at the end of the quarter, there will be a grammar exam covering each topic presented during the quarter.
As part of a discussion board assignment, you may be placed in groups to work together before you post to the main discussion board. I will create these groups at the beginning of the quarter and expect that you will use groups outside of structured activities as a support network. It is especially important to connect with fellow students online as the environment can feel isolating. Please use your groups to connect. Help each other out by chatting in the "chat room," sending each other email or messages, and working together in structured group activities. Believe me, this is one of the best ways to really become involved in an online class.
Although there is no in-class component to this course, there is still "class time." Class time is considered the time you spend on the discussion board assignments. This is where you really engage in the course and for this reason, these posts are required. If you fail to complete 3 discussion board posts in a row, I will ask you to drop the class.
All students can turn in any one of the first 2 essays (not the final essay) up to two days late without incurring a grade penalty. But this does not include the rough drafts of the essays. Discussion Board posts cannot be turned in late. Once you have used up your late pass on one major assignment, though, any late assignment will be lowered by a full letter grade for every calendar day that it is late, and keep in mind that I cannot accept an assignment that is turned in more than a week late. Submit assignments to the appropriate Assignments module.
Please understand also that I will always grade assignments which have been turned in on time before I will grade a late assignment; therefore, if you turn in an assignment late, it will not be graded as promptly. Finally, keep in mind that no assignment may be turned in for any reason after the last regular class day of the quarter. My late policy is an important policy to understand and follow. As already mentioned, this class moves very quickly, and when students turn in papers late, they tend to fall behind and lose focus. Many of these students end up dropping the course or failing. Please try to turn all work in on time!
I post regular announcements on Blackboard to help keep you on track with the work and to clarify concepts. Please get into the habit of logging into Blackboard regularly to read these announcements. In general, I post announcements Monday, Wed, and Fridays, and on other days if necessary. I also will email important announcements to each student, so make sure you have inputted your correct email address in Blackboard so you can receive these email announcements. Instructions on how to add your email address to Blackboard can be found in the first announcement, so check it out!
Online Etiquette
In my two years of teaching online, I've only experienced one incident of a student being overtly offensive and rude to another student on the discussion board, and I hope never to have to see this again. So I'm asking you to please observe some online etiquette that should also apply to emails or messages you send me (which can come off as rude when one is in a hurry or frustrated). Electronic communication can be difficult and easily misinterpreted. Why? Well, we can't see each other and read facial expressions or mannerisms. So, to ensure that you are not misinterpreted online with your comments, please do the following:
1. Always address your post to someone! So, "Hi Elizabeth" or "Hi All" are two options.
2. Always sign your post with at least your first name.
3. Don't be afraid to use a emoticon, such as a smiley face : ) to lighten the mood a bit, especially when you are posting when you are in a bad mood!! : )
4. Please avoid ALL CAPS whenever you can, as they tend to come off as RUDE.
5. Please avoid harsh or offensive language of any kind.
6. Please keep in mind that when you email or message me that you should give me the same respect electronically that you would give an instructor if speaking to her face-to-face.
Technical Problems
A technical problem with your own software,
hardware, or Internet connection is not a genuine emergency or excuse. For this
reason, I suggest you ALWAYS back-up your work in another location other than
your home computer and, at the same time, know what other computer you can use
in case that your system is down. For example, you can always use the computer
labs at

Guidelines for Papers
Format your paper following MLA guidelines as explained in your handbook. The general guidelines are as follows:
ALL assignments must be formatted as Microsoft Word files. WordPerfect and
WordPad will not interface properly with Word and using these programs will
mean that I will not be able to open your assignments and/or you may not be
able to read my comments. If you need help with your computer program, visit a
computer lab in the Cannell Library or Scarpelli Hall or go to the
This is a 5-credit course that, although on-line, still requires 5 hours of "class time" a week. What this means is that you should expect to be on-line at the Blackboard site at least 5 hours a week and, additionally, you should expect to devote several additional hours (2-3 hours for each hour "in class") outside of class time doing independent reading, researching, and writing. This may seem like a lot of time, but you need to keep in mind that this is a college-level writing course that will help you gain the important writing skills needed to be successful in college and in the workplace.
Please also realize that you can't disappear for two weeks and expect to jump right back into the class. Failure to log into Blackboard for more than a week will put you far behind and to a point where it will be hard to get back on track. Make it a habit to log onto Blackboard regularly. Don't wait until the last minute to do your work; stay on top of you assignments; contact me if you are having problems.
Remember, Blackboard can be accessed anywhere. You don't have to be at your home computer.
Dropping the Course
If you decide to drop the course, make sure to file an official withdrawal from the course with the Registrar's Office. Without an official withdrawal (a "W") in the course, I will have no choice but to assign you a failing grade (an "F") for the course. You can drop the course through week 7.
Plagiarism is the theft of another's words or ideas. It results from dishonesty, carelessness or a combination of both. Be honest and careful. Document your sources; attribute ideas to their owners. DO NOT purchase or download a paper from the Internet. It is VERY easy for an instructor to identify and track plagiarized works! If you are having problems with an assignment, talk with me rather than resort to a tactic that could jeopardize your academic and professional future. Plagiarism will result in failure of the course, and I will forward your name to the Dean of Students who may elect to eject you from the college or place you on probation.
The library website will allow you to access online databases that you will be using to find information for your final essay. The library website also offers some links to other helpful resources. Here is a link to the library website: http://www.clark.edu/Library/

and numbers have been assigned to all
Security Officers are available for escorts please call 360-992-2133.
Discussion Board Posts
Grading Rubric
You will receive one 0-10 point grade for all posts made during any given week. Your grade will be based on your posts in response to specific DB assignments but also your responses to other classmates' posts. Participating 2 times during the week is measured by posting on 2 different days (when there are 2 posts per week) to each of the main DB assignments. In total, however, to receive full credit for your week's DB posts, you should actually create a thread 2 times and reply to at least 6 or more classmates' posts each week. Below is a detailed rubric that explains the grading criteria. Essentially, think of it this way: create 2 threads a week and 6 replies a week for a total of at least 8 posts to the DB each week.
"A" Discussion Board (9-10 points) – participated in 2 DB assignments and responded to at least 6 other posts
"B" Discussion Board (8-8.9 points) – participated in 2 DB assignments and responded to at least 4 other posts
"C" Discussion Board (7-7.9 points), -- participated in 2 DB assignments and responded to at least 2 other post
"D"-"F" Discussion Board (0-6.9 points) – participated in 1 DB assignment and responded to at least 1 other post
Please note, that to receive an "A" grade for DB posts, it is very important that you don't simply mimic what has already been posted. Try to contribute something new, and this is often easier if you are one of the first students to post. So, in other words, don't wait until the last minute to post! By waiting until the last minute, you will be making the assignment much much harder for yourself!

Lake Erie College Business Plan Clinic assisting fuel cell start-up
Lake Erie College Center for Entrepreneurship is introducing its most recent endeavor – the Business Plan Clinic.
With collaboration from Lake Erie MBA students, faculty and the new Entrepreneur-in-Residence Cliff Somerville, the Business Plan Clinic works to assist a new or growing venture in the formulation of their business plan.The team is "coached" by Somerville and students earn course credit under the supervision of a Lake Erie faculty member. Somerville brings to the Center extensive experience as a software entrepreneur as well as leading several new international technology ventures for General Electric and IBM.
The Lake Erie College Center for Entrepreneurship's Business Plan Clinic is currently assisting a new local fuel cell business. The alterative energy start-up was introduced to the Business Plan Clinic by the Lake County Economic Development Center (LCEDC). "Whenever an individual starts a business, resources are scarce, so the entrepreneur often times is unable to complete tasks that are critical to the success of the new business," said Cathy Haworth, executive director of LCEDC.
The group involved with the Clinic met with Norma Byron, the owner and founder of the fuel cell venture to begin the process of developing a formal business plan. "Partnering with the Center for Entrepreneurship Business Plan Clinic has enhanced Norma Byron's ability to succeed because her business plan will become a working document, mapping her strategies and providing her potential partners with an overview of her project," said Haworth.
Dean of Management Studies and Instructor of Business
Administration Robert Trebar added, "The Business Plan Clinic is a great opportunity for our MBA students to focus all of their skills, knowledge and experience on an intensive project that could have a major impact on a real company and all of its stakeholders."
Administration Robert Trebar added, "The Business Plan Clinic is a great opportunity for our MBA students to focus all of their skills, knowledge and experience on an intensive project that could have a major impact on a real company and all of its stakeholders."
The first group of students working with the fuel cell start-up strongly agrees with Trebar. "I chose to participate in the Clinic because I wanted to apply the knowledge, skills, and techniques of many of the classes that I have taken in the MBA program and use them all in a practical application," said Robert Krieger.
Krieger believes that formulating this business plan will allow him and his teammates to do just that and much more. "Furthermore, I wanted to be a part of project that will have a large impact on our area. The technology being developed and taken to market, is going to play a significant role in the future of energy. It is exciting to be able to contribute," said Krieger.
Waiting in the wings for help from the Business Plan Clinic is an art gallery, a video store, a day care services operation and a local church. These organizations are all hopeful that the Center for Entrepreneurship can assist them in taking their ventures to the next level.
For more information on the Center for Entrepreneurship or the Business Plan Clinic please contact, John Meehl, director of the Lake Erie College Center for Entrepreneurship at 440-375-7111.

BNU and High Wycombe CC join forces for young talent
3:30pm Tuesday 8th January 2013 in Sport By Alan Feldberg
HIGH Wycombe Cricket Club are joining forces with the Bucks New University to create a new cricket academy aimed at giving the best young talent in the area a helping hand at reaching their potential.
By tapping into the expertise of a wide pool of level three and level four coaches, with a focus on specialist skills, the newly-created Young Guns Cricket Academy is intended to give young players every chance of succeeding.
Wycombe chairman Geoff Morgan said: "We want to challenge players to reach their potential rather than just turning up and playing.
"We've got a pool of level three and level four coaches. Most club coaches are level one or two so we think the coaching available will be above that of other coaching courses in the area.
"Ultimately, what we want to do in the future is take individuals with talent onto an elite academy."
Coaching will take place at the BNU Sports Hall on Saturday afternoons and plans to incorporate everything from core skills such as spin bowling and wicket-keeping to fitness and mental attitude.
Video analysis, thanks to the BNU students, is also on the agenda.
The first nine-week course begins on February 2 and invitations will be sent to schools and cricket clubs in the area in the next two weeks.

Millard Fuller—pictured here at a house dedication in Paterson, N.J.—recognized the change that a simple, decent house could mean to families around the world.
View a slideshow: Hope and Work
Further reading: Millard Fuller in his own words… and in the words of others
In the early morning hours of a February Tuesday, Habitat for Humanity International founder Millard Fuller passed away.
The many members of Habitat's extended family mourn his loss—and celebrate his longstanding commitment to the cause of affordable housing. His death on Feb. 3, at the age of 74 after a brief illness, ended a life dedicated to what Fuller often referred to as the "God-ordained, Christ-centered work" of building simple, decent, affordable housing with families in need of shelter.
The first seeds of Habitat were sown at Koinonia Farm, a Christian farming community founded in southwest Georgia in the 1940s. In 1965, financially successful but personally spent, Fuller and his wife Linda decided to begin anew at Koinonia. The former entrepreneur/attorney and his wife gave away the fruits of their lives' labors and moved to Koinonia, where they encountered farmer, theologian and community founder Clarence Jordan.
In time, Jordan and Fuller launched a program of "partnership housing"—building simple houses in partnership with rural neighbors too poor to qualify for conventional home loans. The first house was dedicated in 1969. In 1973, the Fullers took the concept to Africa. Within a few years, simple concrete-block homes were replacing unhealthy mud-and-thatch homes. And Millard Fuller had a bold idea: If partnership housing could improve lives in Georgia and Zaire, why not the rest of the world?
After three years, the Fullers returned to the United States and launched Habitat for Humanity International. Fuller led Habitat from its 1976 founding until his separation from the organization and his founding of the Fuller Center for Housing in 2005.
By Habitat's 25th anniversary in 2001, tens of thousands of people were volunteering with Habitat and more than 500,000 people were living in Habitat homes. In the years since, Habitat's numbers—and its impact—have only grown. Habitat has built more than 300,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1.5 million people with safe, decent, affordable shelter.
The idea of change that first sprouted in the fields of Koinonia continues. The very same housing need that Fuller saw in the lives of his Georgia neighbors exists everywhere. Because of the vision and tireless effort that he brought to the founding of Habitat, because he was able to inspire so many to join him in the task, God's work continues around the world.
"We are frustrated that we can't just wave a magic wand and have houses appear for everyone who needs them," Fuller once wrote in the pages of Habitat World. "But we do know that by doing what we can, we make a difference. We know from experience that when we move on faith, God moves with us."

Top tax writers in Congress are taking a "blank slate" approach to reworking the U.S. tax code that starts by wiping out hundreds of perks that ordinary taxpayers claim, including sacrosanct policies such as the child credit and the deduction for mortgage interest.
Those and other popular breaks could be restored as policymakers attempt to build support for the first far-reaching changes in the federal tax system in nearly 30 years. But each credit and deduction will be scrutinized, Senate tax writers said Thursday in a letter to their colleagues, and those that cannot be justified will be eliminated.

Photoshop CS/CS2 on Wine – Thanks to Google
Google uses Wine to provide Linux support for Picasa; now the search engine giant has commissioned the specialists from Codeweavers to improve Wine support for Adobe Photoshop CS and CS2 .
The initial results of this work were published at the end of January in the form of Wine 0.9.54, which – according to Google – now provides more-or-less trouble free support for Photoshop versions 5 through CS2. Photoshop Elements 4 and 5 (but not 6) will also run on Wine.
As a positive side effect, applications like Flash 8 now run on Wine, says Google software engineer Dan Kegel in an announcement; Kegel is also the Wine 1.0 release manager. Although the ability to run Photoshop on Linux gives many Windows users an opportunity to migrate to Linux, it does reduce the pressure on Adobe to finally implement the Photoshop Linux port that many users have demanded in the past.

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue with their Lumia 800. I notice this problem moreso within IE, but it can also present itself in other apps which have been downloaded from the WP Marketplace.
Whilst looking at webpages (generally non mobile sites) and scrolling down the page (in either portrait or landscape mode) with a single finger slide the phone will seemingly auto zooom in or out randomly for no obvious apparant reason.
Whilst doing so the text on the page seems to stutter somewhat, almost as if the phone is "detecting" 2 fingers on the display. I have never experienced such problems with any other capacitive display device that I have used before (iPad, iPhone, HTC Desire).
This same frustration with the touch screen continues further when on occasion (again randomly) a swipe down or up will be classed as a press on a icon or link (I have seen a previous comment regarding this elsewhere) resulting in opening the app or URL.
I'm not sure if this is a WP7 problem or a Lumia problem??

This is not a normal behaviour and only happens on the Nokia Lumia 800 because its screen digitizer is badly configured as noted here:

text: Only I have never said that Button does not have a clue about skating. I said that he is talking shit a lot of the time, which he is. He seems to be obsessed about certain issues whilst ignoring a lot of others. Which gives a very skewed image of skaters' performances. It's fine if you are equally nitpicky with everyone or equally lenient with everyone. But Button will nitpick certain things and completely gloss over others. No, not all of them. However, I am yet to find an English speaking commentator who is not talking shit a lot of the time (as in making mistakes, not knowing the rules and so on). If you find one, please let me know. I guess nowadays I either try to watch skating sans commentary or watch it in other languages so it's definitely possible there are great commentators out there that I have never listened to. I guess PJ Kwong is probably one. You can tell that she really cares about skating and she definitely does her research. It always shocks me how Chris Howarth and Nicky Slater - both of whom work in skating as coaches and choreographers - often lack knowledge of the IJS rules and fail to notice a lot of errors that should be apparent to somebody who's a skating insider. They also don't seem to do much background research on skaters and seem to know less about them than many skating fans do. P.S. Not everybody will know everything, it's only natural. When you don't know about something simply don't mention it, instead of pretending that you do know it and talk bullshit... The Polish Eurosport commentator is actually very decent. He knows what he's talking about, he points out a lot of details and gives some interesting background info as well (he won't for example say 'fantastic' when a pair team does a triple twist where a lady collapses onto the man instead of being caught by the waist and put down - which Chris/Simon/Nicky do regularly). I disagree with him a lot but he's honest and makes clear arguments for why he thinks a certain way and you can take it or leave it.

Free agent linebacker Brian Urlacher may be close to finding a new team, as a source told the Chicago Sun-Times' Michael Sneed that Urlacher is "leaning toward" signing with the Minnesota Vikings on a one- or two-year deal. He has also been talking with the Denver Broncos.
Urlacher parted ways with the Chicago Bears after a storied 13-year career. At 34, he's not the same player he was, putting up 68 tackles, 1 interception and 2 forced fumbles in 12 games last season.
The Vikings have a gaping hole at middle linebacker, despite not addressing the position in the NFL Draft. Currently Erin Henderson is penciled in as the starter, though Urlacher could handily take over that spot if the Vikings sign him. Minnesota has quite the rap for poaching franchise legends from divisional rivals, having also signed former Packer Brett Favre in 2009.

Lack of liability insurance may force the hand of the Shelbyville City Council in deciding the future or fate of the 110-year-old Chautauqua building.
The council agreed Monday night only to seek bids on the cost of demolishing the historic building after being told that the insurance company would not longer carry liability insurance on the building in its present state. The building has become more unstable in recent months, and the Chautauqua Preservation Committee has been pushing the Council into making a decision about the building's future.
Commissioner Brent Fogleman moved that they get bids on the building's demolition. Commissioner Jeff Johnson was the lone "no" vote.
"So you're deciding to tear down the building?" asked one audience member.
"No. The motion is only to get bids to bring it down. We want to see how much it will cost (the city) before we decide," Fogleman said.
The Chautauqua committee has raised $100,000 in four years, but needs another $150,000 to begin work to stabilize the building. In recent months, the committee has requested financial help from the City for the project.
"We have to make a decision tonight whether it be getting grants and coming up with matching funds, getting bids to tear it down, or letting it stand without insurance," said Commissioner Bill Shoaff.
"Letting it stand without insurance is not an option," said Mayor Roy Shuff. "If we got a grant where would we get matching funds. It's not a good thing sitting out there without liability insurance."
"By the time we get enough money, it could just fall down on its own," Shoaff said.
"It's a tough call. I saw a lot of stuff happen out there in my lifetime. I hate to see it come to an end," Shoaff said.

Rendell Weak Among Pennsylvania Democrats
by Chris Bowers, Thu Feb 09, 2006 at 06:00:54 AM EST
By now, we have all probably seen the polls that show Ed Rendell to be in some trouble against newly minted Pennsylvania Republican Gubernatorial nominee Lynn Swann (see polls on the Governor's race at Zobgy, Rasmussen, and Strategic Vision, all conducted within the past couple weeks and all showing a close race). While not a head to head trial heat, I think a recent Pennsylvania presidential primary poll by Republican firm Strategic Vision might show just how deep Rendell's problems actually are: (I have included a recent Wisconsin poll on the same subject for the sake of comparison):Who is your choice for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2008? (Democrats only)
Clinton 35 28
Gore 15 16
Edwards 10 6
Kerry 7 4
Feingold 7 23
Clark 5 4
Warner 5 3
Biden 2 2
Rendell 2 1
Bayh 1 1
Richardson 1 1
Vilsack 1 1
Boxer 1 1
Undecided 8 9
That is, um, not good for Rendell. Sure, everyone loses to Clinton in their home state, but not everyone gets blown out, as you can see from the recent Wisconsin poll. Also, not everyone finishes in a tie for eighth in their home state with 2%. In particular, how can Rendell possibly finish behind Feingold, Clark and Warner in Pennsylvania? What sort of name ID do those three have among Democrats in PA? Is it even 30%?
Rendell is not the first choice of Pennsylvania Democrats. He isn't the sixth choice, even when people aren't very familiar with many of the names offered. I think this shows he will clearly have problems firing up the base, a problem the Republican base may not have with Santorum on the ticket. Considering how many other important elections are taking place in Pennsylvania this year, this is a very bad sign indeed. In order to GOTV, we are going to have to run an anti-Santorum campaign around here.
While never great, it wasn't always this bad for Rendell. In August, he managed 6% of the vote in a similar poll. In September, he managed 5%. Still not great, but better. I hope Rendell still thinks endorsing Alito and repeating Republican talking points about Democrats while doing so on Fox News was worth it.

Bryan Ewing has goal and assist for Terriers
Box Score - Text Box - Game Sheet
ORONO, Maine - The University of Maine men's ice hockey team fell to Boston University 3-1 on Saturday night at Alfond Arena in Orono, Maine. The teams traded first period goals, but the Terriers added a goal in both the second and third frames to earn the victory. Maine's Ben Bishop (Des Peres, Mo.) played well in net for the Black Bears, but fell just short in his bid for his 50th career victory.
Boston University jumped out to a 1-0 lead at 9:14 of the first period. In transition during a line change, Terrier Kevin Shattenkirk found Pete MacArthur near center ice. MacArthur fed Bryan McEwing who skated in and beat Bishop with a shot from Bishop's right. For MacArthur, it was his 10th goal of the season.
Maine tied the game less than two minutes later. Travis Ramsey (Lakewood, Calif.) had a shot from the blueline that was blocked. The puck went to Lem Randall (Snow Lake, Manitoba) who had his shot saved by Terrier goalie Brett Bennett. The rebound went right to Keif Orsini (Montreal, Quebec) who beat Bennett for his first career goal.
Boston University took the lead back at 13:58 of the second period when Shattenkirk had his shot from just inside the blueline beat Bishop. MacArthur and Colin Wilson each assisted on the eventual game-winner for the Terriers.
The result of the game remained in doubt until BU was able to add an insurance goal on a fluke play late in the game. A BU forward dumped the puck into the Maine zone. Bishop came out to play the puck, only to see it take a weird bounce off the boards and go right to Chris Wilson who stuffed it home for his fifth goal of the season at 17:30 of the third period.
Maine, 7-10-2 on the season and 3-7-2 in Hockey East play, held Boston University scoreless in five opportunities on the power play. The Black Bears, who have not allowed a power play goal since Nov. 25 against Vermont, have currently killed off 28 straight penalties. Maine was 0-4 on the power play. Boston University improves to 6-10-3 on the season and 5-6-2 in Hockey East play.
Maine's Ben Bishop stopped 27 shots and falls to 7-9-2 on the season. Bennett made 15 saves for the Terriers. He improves to 5-4-2 on the campaign.
The Black Bears return to action on Saturday, Jan. 19 when they face Providence in Providence, R.I. BU next plays at Merrimack on Jan. 18.
