The Intramural Program at CCAC Boyce Campus has become one of the most popular offerings sponsored by the Student Life Office. Every semester, more and more students are intrigued by our wide range of activities. Although there are traditional events available for the amateur sport enthusiast, it's the non-traditional recreations that make our Intramural Program truly unique!
The program director is Student Development Specialist, Dave DeVenzio. Dave's take on the evolution of intramural activities is, "When I first started working at Boyce Campus, I didn't realize how busy most students' schedules would be. Classes, homework, families, jobs, obligations, etc., makes time the most valuable resource of our student body. So when we develop our Intramural schedule of events each semester, a student's spare time is the major planning factor."
As a result, we include the customary intramural sports that most colleges host on our schedule to challenge our students such as bowling, basketball, table tennis, etc. But at Boyce Campus, students will also discover a variety of unconventional events such as Oreo Stacking, Connect 4, Cards in the Hat and Tiddlywinks. These are a mere few of the quirky and eclectic amusements that inspire Intramural spirit. Chances are that you won't find an Intramural program like this anywhere else!
DeVenzio added, "We want all of our students to feel welcome, make new friends, and have some fun. Ability doesn't matter! Winning or losing doesn't matter! Our zany activities don't take much time at all. In fact, some can be done in just a few minutes between classes. All of our Intramural activities are geared to give our students a mental break from academic studies with friendly competition and lots of laughter."
Stop in the Student Life Office, S521 near the Student Union to give our Intramural Program a whirl!

Houston Texans: 2013 team needs
We highlight the top three needs on offense and defense for the Houston Texans, and take a look back at their 2012 draft class
Baker to lead Houston's Super Bowl bid
Former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker will lead Houston's bid to host the Super Bowl in 2017.
Texans want Barwin back despite disappointing 2012
The Texans' ability to re-sign OLB Connor Barwin — or not re-sign — likely impacts what direction they go in the draft.
Texans RB Foster has not talked surgery
Texans RB Arian Foster released a statement Friday after an NFL Network report indicated he would undergo a heart procedure.
Foster: Don't expect 100 percent play at Pro Bowl
Houston RB Arian Foster says players are going to step up at the Pro Bowl this year, but don't expect 100 percent effort.
Texans won't rule out drafting QB
Despite publicly supporting Matt Schaub, Texans coach Gary Kubiak will at least consider drafting a quarterback in April, we hear.
Watt named PFW/PFWA Defensive Player of the Year
Texans DE J.J. Watt, still two months shy of his 24th birthday, is the youngest PFW/PFWA Defensive Player of the Year winner ever.
Texans WR Posey tears Achilles tendon
Texans WR DeVier Posey tore his Achilles tendon, the rookie confirmed after Sunday's divisional-round loss to the Patriots.
Patriots beat Texans, Ravens up next
Stevan Ridley ran for 82 yards and a touchdown to help the Patriots roll to a 41-28 victory over the Texans.
Texans got good mileage out of backup inside 'backers
Despite injuries taking their toll on Texans' ILBs this season, we hear there won't be a major rush to address the position in the draft.
Friday injury report for divisional playoffs
Here is the Friday injury report for the divisional playoffs, showing to what degree injured players participated in their teams' practices.
Key matchup: Texans passing game vs. Patriots pass 'D'
The Texans' key to avenging a Week 14 embarrassment and advancing to the AFC title game will be QB Matt Schaub.
Ryan, Falcons understand situation they're in
The Falcons and QB Matt Ryan are aware of the pressures they face this weekend in what should be a strong divisional slate of games.
Tuesday's 60-second rant: Defining moment for Texans, Schaub
The Texans-Patriots rematch should be more competitive this time around. For the Texans to pull the upset, Matt Schaub must rise to the occasion.
Texans' offense still uneven, but making progress
One offensive TD by the Texans is unlikely to cut it in Foxborough Sunday, but at least the group showed signs of breaking through in the wild-card round victory over the Bengals.
Keenum is among eight players signed to reserve/future contracts by the Houston Texans.||||||| The 6-foot Keenum spent last season on Houston's practice squad after signing as an undrafted free agent.
Keenum has been released by the Texans.||||||| The Texans chose John Beck as their third-string quarterback, which left Keenum, an undrafted rookie who set NCAA passing records at the University of Houston, without a spot on the team. Coach Gary Kubiak says they might sign Keenum to the practice squad to add depth at the position after Houston was left scrambling last season after its top two quarterbacks were lost to season-ending injuries.

Florida plays three quarterbacks in win over UAB
By Jason Lieser
For the second straight week, the Gators were able to get their back-up quarterback some game experience.
True freshman Jeff Driskel took over for starter John Brantley late in the third quarter of Saturday's 39-0 win over Alabama-Birmingham. Driskel, the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart, now has played four possession of college football. That experience makes the coaching staff a little more confident that it can turn to him in a tight game if something happens to Brantley.
Brantley was efficient, but not spectacular. He completed 12 of 19 passes for 195 and had no touchdowns or interceptions.
In two games this season, he has completed 67.3 percent of his passes. Last year he hit 60.8.
Driskel came on with 3:03 left in the third quarter. He completed his only pass attempt, a 17-yarder to Solomon Patton, and rushed twice for five yards.
On his first possession, he led the Gators from their own 22-yard line to UAB's 27. On 4th-and-2, he tried to run a QB sneak to pick up the first down, but the Blazers stopped him.
Driskel stayed in to drive Florida from its own 18 to the UAB 43 before the Gators turned to third-stringer Tyler Murphy to run out the clock.
In Driskel's two games, he completed 5 of 7 passes for 59 yards and has an interception.
Jacoby Brissett, a true freshman from Dwyer, did not play in either of the first two games.

text: Astronomers find a huge star-forming galaxy that shouldn't exist Science 27 June 12 by Adam Mann Tweet NASA/ESA/University of Florida, Gainsville/University of Missouri-Kansas City/UC Davis Astronomers have spotted one of the rarest and most extreme galaxy clusters in the universe and, behind it, an object that shouldn't exist.Galaxy clusters are collections of galaxies that orbit one another and are the most massive objects in the universe. The newly discovered cluster, first detected by the Hubble space telescope, is over 500 trillion times the mass of the sun. It is located approximately 10 billion light-years away. Because looking out into the distant cosmos means also looking back in time, the cluster formed during an era when the universe was a quarter its present age.The cluster, named IDCS J1426.5+3508, is extreme because during this period in cosmic history, massive collections of galaxies were just beginning to form. Only one other cluster of comparable size has been seen at this distance and it is a lightweight compared to IDCS J1426.5+3508.Adding to the object's strangeness, a mysterious arc of blue light was seen just behind the galaxy cluster. Astronomers think this indicates another massive star-forming galaxy located even further away at an even earlier epoch.Light from this more distant -- and yet unnamed -- galaxy has been highly distorted by an effect known as gravitational lensing. The gargantuan mass of the galaxy cluster bends and twists light coming from the distant galaxy, creating the strange blue arc.The farther galaxy is estimated to be 10 to 13 billion light-years away and have a mass approximately 70 trillion times the sun.The astronomers who spotted the blue arc calculated that the odds of finding such a massive galaxy so distant in the universe are practically nil: "For the observed magnitudes we expect to find no arcs over the entire sky as bright," the team writes in one of three papers outlining their findings, published online in The Astrophysical Journal June 26.Understanding how these objects came to be could help astronomers determine the history of galactic evolution throughout the history of the universe. The team hopes that the eROSITA mission -- an x-ray telescope scheduled to launch next year and study galaxy clusters and dark matter -- will provide more information on this bizarre finding.

Australia's Black Coal Industry: Past Achievements and Future ChallengesWorking Paper
Dr. Bart Lucarelli
Issued by
Program on Energy and Sustainable Development, March 2011
The world's largest coal exporter sits at a critical crossroads. In the decades following WWII, Australia's coal industry grew from a small, fractured sector to the biggest player in international coal markets. This remarkable growth was driven by a combination of prodigious reserves, smart policy and regulation, strategic deployment of advanced technologies, and savvy market relationships with key Asian consumers. But the industry now faces critical challenges that are poised to determine whether Australia will continue to be the globe's largest coal supplier.
In "Australia's Black Coal Industry: Past Achievements and Future Challenges," PESD's Dr. Bart Lucarelli assesses the factors which are expected to shape the black coal industries of Queensland and New South Wales over the next 20 years. The study analyzes the critical challenges facing the Australia's black coal industries and the likely futures that might emerge from the resolution of those challenges over time.
This analysis is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how Australia came to dominate the global coal trade, and how the future of Asian energy markets is likely to develop.

Tuesday night, the Baltimore Orioles lost right-handed starter Jason Hammel during their game against the Tampa Bay Rays, as Hammel suffered an injury to his right knee. It happened in the top of the fourth inning, as Hammel threw a pitch and then had a funny hop off of the mound. He was pulled from the game immediately.
If it does turn out to be a long-term knee injury, it wouldn't be Hammel's first. Back in July, he had arthroscopic surgery on that same right knee to remove a piece of cartilage, and missed seven weeks of action. When he has been able to pitch, Hammel has been one of the Orioles' few dependable starters, going 8-6 with a 3.46 ERA this season.
Baltimore replaced Hammel with Steve Johnson following the injury. At the time, the Orioles led the Rays 3-1 in a game that weighs heavily in the Wild Card standings.

text: seananmcguire seananmcguire: aristi-cthonia: simplysailormoon: missturdle: On the importance of Magical Girl Heroines & Weaponized Femininity: Let me start by saying that officially speaking, Sailor Moon is older than I am. I started watching while living in Singapore while I was four, so I definitely came in around the end of Sailor Moon R and watched Sailor Moon S despite the fact that it was played in Japanese with Chinese subtitles. When I moved back to the States, Sailor Moon started being released and aired in sub and dub form and being young and happy to actually hear a language I understood with a show I already liked, I watched the dubs. They're not the shining star of any animated dub, but I went back several times as I got older, and rewatched the series, in dubs, in subs, all 200 episodes. I changed my self-identified scout, I understood what got cut out of the show, what was censored, I went back and relived my crush on Tuxedo Mask again…and again. In terms of "formative media" Sailor Moon is probably near the top of the list. I still have the sticker book I had when I was 5/6 that has a page dedicated to these magical girls, and they've been with me a lot longer than almost anything else, including Harry Potter, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and most other narratives, superhero, fantasy, or otherwise. When I got the chance last year, I showed one of my girl cousins (who was twelve) the first episode of Sailor Moon. She came back to me about a week or so later and was maybe thirty episodes into the series, bursting with excitement over everything and every one. I stopped to think about how much that meant to me. Then I thought a little harder. One of my best friends gave me an opportunity to cosplay as Sailor Scouts, and I leapt at the chance. I accidentally stumbled across the newer series Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and marathoned all twelve episodes. Then I made my best friend watch it. Why does Mahou Shoujo stick with us? The show I loved when I was six is something I love when I'm twenty, and something my cousin who is a tween also loves. For that matter, Puella Magi is, essentially, an update of the classic Magical Girl story, with some genre subversions thrown in. What makes magical girls so important? It clicked, today, and I think I'm stating the obvious here, when I say I didn't get a whole hell of a lot of Female Coming of Age narratives in school, in the media, or otherwise. The word bildungsroman is practically synonymous with "story about a young boy who grows up". It's not that I can't relate to those narratives - I can - it's just that they're not about me. The Magical Girl genre is essentially a genre which explores the female Heroine's arc, the female coming of age story, and the womanhood narrative with varying degrees of success or failure — but it gets explored. I'd be hard pressed to name a whole lot of series that allow women to play every single archetypal role in the heroic book the way say, Sailor Moon does. Because Usagi Tsukino is a regular girl who is sort of clumsy and a bit of a bad student, but kind and loving and sweet. She is the "regular young girl" who begins a journey into becoming a powerful woman. She might initially play at being the virginal Princess type, but let's face it — her future child drops out of the sky, and there's never any sort of real play at insinuating she's a bad person because she grows up. Usagi is a Warrior, a Queen, a Mother, a Lover, a Friend, a Sister - the Heroine of the story. She saves her own boyfriend/consort's ass regularly from the bad guys. Essentially, she's the hero, and the story is about her. It's more complex than that, of course. Her weapons are pink and shiny and come in the form of compacts and wands with heart and moon shapes. She wears a sailor fuku, she's got long flowing hair, she's feminine, beautiful, and when she doesn't trip first, she's going to kick your ass in the name of the moon (and love and justice). Being a girl is her weapon. Being feminine and a woman is her weapon. Some of the other Scouts have other presentations of themselves and their genders, but that's just it - womanhood and girlhood, and gender, and sexuality, and so on — has a spectrum. It's all there. Now look at Puella Magi. At only twelve episodes it packs a hard punch, and it's so easy to claim that Kyubey represents the devil, with a contract waiting to be made to essentially use your soul to fight witches. This claim that the narrative is Faustian isn't wholly wrong, but I'd argue it's not all there is either. Kyubey isn't the devil. Kyubey is the society we live in, which takes up and preys on young girls at vulnerable times in their lives, and asks them to be perfect. Society asks girls to fight against evil, the icky, awful, and impure, and it keeps asking until we say yes. Yes to being beautiful, and perfect, and good, and pure, and sweet, yes to being a nice young lady, yes to fighting everything that is bad and evil and dangerous - to fighting the things that threaten us and our friends. Except there's a catch. We're fighting ourselves. What they don't tell you, society, or Kyubey in this metaphor, is that there is no way to prevent yourself from becoming what you started out fighting. You lose, in this scenario, every time. At some point, a young, "emotionally volatile" girl grows up and becomes a woman. One day, you hit puberty, or maybe you haven't yet, and someone leers at you, or looks at you wrong, or calls after you and you are suddenly made aware of the fact that being a woman is dangerous. Growing up means something incredibly different for girls than it does boys. And this is something Kyubey himself says, and the implications of it are astounding. Girls become women. Magical girls become witches. There's no stopping it, the process happens whether you want it to or not. You grow up, sure, but there's a reason for it. Sayaka Miki fights relentlessly against the evils she sees in the world, but she becomes obsessed with her imperfections and failures, she berates herself for falling short of her own standards, and for standards thrust upon her, and she literally can not win. The standards are always changing, they can't be met, they're meant to keep you fighting, but only in a certain way, only the way society wants you to. Sayaka loses her cool, she overhears some men say awful, horribly misogynistic and sexist things about their 'girlfriends' on a train, and she loses it. Sayaka reacts to the endless stream of hatred and misogyny set up in a patriarchal society that has been asking her to fight against women who failed to met society's expectations and while we don't see the results of her losing her cool on the train directly, we can all imagine that she could have beaten these men up, or she could have killed them. In the end, the result doesn't matter. The losing her temper does. You become a witch or a bitch the day you fight back. And even if you don't fight back, you're going to become a witch or a bitch eventually. That's the unfortunate truth of growing up female — sooner or later, society will betray you. And while you might not become Walpurgisnacht, it can be as simple as a hiss in your ear, or a seething message in your inbox. You're an emotionally out of control girl, you're evil, you're bad, you're a slut, a whore, or a bitch, or hysterical, or over reacting. You become a woman in a society that hates women. And if and when you react, you get tossed straight into the bin of evil terrible things. Puella Magi is a story about young teenager girls who, while exploring who they are as people, their sexualities, their lives, their desires, hopes, wants, wishes, and dreams — find out that society is going to see them as shitty monstrous plagues upon the world sooner or later. And you can try to stop it, or take it back, or hold out hope, or you can lose your unholy shit and hit back. You can say the idea of witches is complete and utter bullshit, and women and girls don't deserve that fate. You can fight against it, you can be Madoka Kaname, or Usagi Tsukino and you can fight against people who prey on other girls and women for having anything special or bright about them and try to make it something terrible or wrong. Magical Girl stories are stories about growing up and becoming a woman, and protecting other women, saving other women, following desires and dreams and wishes and then kicking the bad guys in the face with your high heeled boots. The weapon is womanhood and girlhood and your sexuality because that's the weapon society gave you and told you you were going to hurt yourself with it. Except the thing is, you don't have to hurt yourself. You can protect yourself, and your friends, and your ideas, and feelings, and some days, yes, you fall down on your knees and sob messily because you can't defeat every bad guy on your own, or ever, or alone - but goddamnit you have the ability to take power in your agency and who you are. Society doesn't OFTEN tell girls that. We don't often get the message that who we are is okay, acceptable, powerful, or amazing, much less that it's also okay if we don't succeed every single time. We know the fight is a part of our lives, but survival is the minimum. Getting stories about winning beyond that is amazing. This is why I cringe when people complain loudly that there aren't "Magical Boy" series for them to watch. To start with, there are already several series that involve young boys transforming with magical powers and skirts/wands/sparkles/etc. There's also an abundance of already available fantasy male heroes who start off on Hero's journeys that describe the process of growing up and becoming a "man" in society. Magical Girls are a genre that rely on a female narrative, on becoming a woman, on relative experiences of love and sex and dreams and wishes that are influenced by the treatment of women in society. That doesn't mean men can enjoy these stories, or relate to them, or that people who don't fall in the binary gender spectrum can't relate to them (on the contrary, there's a lot of reliability in not "fitting" gender roles or expectations in the series I've just mentioned), it just means that this genre is built on something very specific to a narrative that is not male dominated, that isn't a male narrative. There's, uh, a reason why Mamoru Chiba is the major male love interest, and why PMMM features one male love interest who ends up with someone else. The ability to find WOC and QWOC in Magical girl series is also a big part of the genre, and pushes the majority of the focus on female pleasure rather than the dudes. Yes, the Male Gaze exists in much of the genre, but… Tuxedo Mask is also clearly a young girl's dream man. So is Sailor Uranus. The crushes and loves are often more fluid than they would be elsewhere, and equally important, they're not in the perspective of Prize/Not prize and give an active role to the women in the relationships. Magical Girls are important to real girls because they tell us stories about ourselves and our powers, and we need them, because girls need to see themselves as heroes and saviors too. This is literally one of the best things I have ever read and I just wish I could find the words… this is amazing SHOOTS CONFETTI THIS POST WON THE INTERNET TIME TO GO, FOLKS Wow. seananmcguire Source:

Rush Limbaugh: 'If They Ever Do a Colonoscopy on Obama They're Gonna Find Richard Wolffe's Head There'
As NewsBusters reported moments ago, MSNBC's Richard Wolffe said Wednesday that House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Oh.) request for Barack Obama to reschedule next week's jobs address might have been due to the color of the President's skin.
On his radio program Thursday, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh responded by saying, "If they ever do a colonoscopy on Obama, they're gonna find Richard Wolffe's head there" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
RUSH LIMBAUGH, HOST: We have a montage from PMSNBC. The Reverend Al Sharpton and some radio host Mike Papantonio and Lawrence O'Donnell.
AL SHARPTON: Is Rush Limbar (sic) calling the shots here? Did Rush go on radio and Boehner respond?
MIKE PAPANTONIO: Boehner -- who is the voice of the Republican Party, he's part of that echo chamber. Rush Limbaugh wants this president to fail.
O'DONNELL: Speaker Boehner ultimately took the advice Rush Limbaugh gave him.
RUSH. I say to you, ladies and gentlemen: I once again have become a titular head of the Republican Party, calling the shots. (chuckling) Did you hear Sharpton say "Rush Limbar"? Al Sharpton. It wasn't finished there on MSNBC. On the Last Word, Lawrence O'Donnell speaking to the author Richard Wolffe who's just a... If they ever do a colonoscopy on Obama, they're gonna find Richard Wolffe's head there. Richard Wolffe is a big author and just a big Obama apologist. Anyway he's talking to Lawrence O'Donnell about me saying yesterday that Boehner should tell Obama that he can't have September 7th to speak before a joint session. O'Donnell says, "Is this the night I have to begin this program by saying, 'Rush Limbaugh is right, the president was trying to upstage a Republican debate'? Is there any real working theory to the contrary?"
WOLFFE: No, you don't have to say the -- Rush Limbaugh is right. Duhh, this is obviously a campaign season, and the next day was a football game and -- and who really cares, anyway? You can schedule both on the same day. Doesn't have to be the same time. The interesting question is, "What is it about this president that has stripped away the veneer of respect that normally accompanies the office of the president? Why do Republicans think this president is unpresidential and should dare to request this kind of thing?" It strikes me it could be the economic times, it could be that he won so big in 2008, or it could be -- let's face it -- the color of his skin.
RUSH: Now, Mr. Wolffe, if you hang in there and be tough -- if you listen -- I've got a great piece by Shelby Steele here that explains this, and I love the piece because it expands on things that I have said. "Obama and the Burden of Exceptionalism," and basically what he says Mr. Wolffe is that Obama as a child of the sixties views this country as sinful, that its exceptionalism was ill-gotten, that it didn't deserve -- this country never deserved -- its exceptionalism and that it's Obama's job to preside happily over the decline of this country. That is the answer to your question, "What is it about this president that has stripped away the veneer of respect?" We don't respect him because he doesn't respect the country!
We don't respect him because he's trying to reverse centuries of greatness in this country. You know, I said yesterday, "They would never ask Bush or Clinton any of these questions, because Bush or Clinton would not have suggested a joint session on the night of either a Democrat or Republican debate, respectfully. So there's your answer, Mr. Wolffe, although I'll have more detail for you as the program unfolds. But basically the people of this country understand that they have elected a president who doesn't believe in its greatness, who doesn't believe in its exceptionalism, who thinks this country deserves to be in decline because our exceptionalism was ill-gotten. That's why. As a Brit, I don't expect you to understand that.
Limbaugh fans should recall that a few weeks ago, the conservative host asked, "Next time Obama has a colonoscopy, I wonder who they'll find in there. Which NBC personality will show up first?"
At the moment, the winner appears to be Wolffe, but with the number of Obama-loving sycophants out there, this can change on an hourly basis.

Correct. Obama will run against congress. A luxury Jimmy Carter didn't have.
It was obvious that Jimmy and the democrats were to blame for the economy. Obama will be able to blame the TEA Party congressmen for not going along with his plan to "save" our economy.
However we will be able to point out they have tried to "stimulate" the economy with large spending and failed!

This just in: Obama is getting rid of the current White House dog and he's getting another. Chris Matthews will soon be officially crowned as the 'First Pet'.
He fills all the characteristics. He follows Obama around, panting and gasping with his tongue lolling out. He fetches Obama's paper, lies curled up at Obama's feet whenever he sits down. And he occasionally will be caught humping Obama's leg in order to get thrills in his pants. And like every good, loyal dog, he puts on a show of independence and yips every so often, just to show that he's not a total doormat. But once Obama smacks a rolled up newspaper across his nose, Matthews will run around in a circle yelping for a moment, then obediently return to lie at the feet of his master.

Things to Do in Naples, Florida
Beachcombing is a naturally popular activity along the Paradise Coast, but Naples beach house rentals aren't just for water lovers. A Naples vacation rental is your cozy introduction to some of Florida's most exquisite attractions, too.
But first, the beach! No doubt, Naples, Florida beaches are where it's at. It's easy to make every day a Gulf of Mexico day. Time flies by when you're catching a tan, collecting seashells, or exploring the Big Blue on a canoe! Fishing, in particular, is a favorite year-round activity. Grab your fishing pole and head out to Naples Pier or hop on a deep sea fishing charter boat. Your dinner could be barracuda, red grouper, or yellowtail snapper. Naples, Florida fishing is worth a try. And who knows? Maybe you'll turn into an expert angler after a visit.
Southwest Florida's subtropical climate and crystal-clear coast are what draw vacationers, especially families, to Naples beachs. After all, Naples condos sit along one of the cleanest and most beautiful coasts in the world. For parents who want spectacular seaside scenery as well of peace of mind that their kids are safe to splash around in the water, Naples, Florida attractions are ideal.
Stroll through downtown Naples and pop your head into one of many prestigious art galleries, including the Jonathan Green Art Collection, on Gallery Row. Top off your day of culture with some Naples music, via a concert at the Philharmonic Center for the Arts.
When it comes to artistic Naples attractions, though, don't miss out on one of America's very best community theater groups. Watch the talented Naples Players perform at the Sugden Community Theater during your stay.
Despite Naples' cosmopolitan offerings, the best of its attractions are based around nature; many Naples parks showcase the beauty of Florida's beaches and landscapes. The Naples Zoo at the Caribbean Gardens, the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, and the Picayune Strand State Forest are all worth a visit! And of course, there's the Florida Everglades, which lies just south of Naples. Venture from your Naples vacation rental for a day and explore the beloved biological sanctuary (with a guide or by yourself).
Need more reason to come to Naples? Well, here's one: Naples golf. Dozens and dozens of superb Naples golf courses are scattered throughout Naples, including the Arrowhead Golf Club and the Lely Flamingo Island Club. Why not surprise your golf-loving spouse with one of a vacation rental near a Naples country club? While they swing away, you can spend your time at the beach, the day spa, or the museum – for Florida history, head to the Collier Museum, and for family fun, check out the adorable Teddy Bear Museum.
Where to Shop and Eat in Naples
If you love Naples, Florida shopping, then book a rental near Olde Town, a haven for unique stores and antiques shops. One of Olde Town's greatest finds is the Bayfront, which is both a marina and shopping district. It's mostly known for its delectable restaurants, though. From seafood at Roy's to filet mignon at Stoney's Steakhouse, restaurants in Naples, Florida will not leave you hungry. Party on after dinner at Tavern on the Bay or Shane's Cabana Bar. But no matter where you go or what you do in Olde Town, you're sure to enjoy a great view of European architecture or the water. While you're in the area, stop by the cafes and boutiques of the Tin City Waterfront Marketplace. It's easy to lose yourself (and track of time) at Tin City Naples.
Travel uptown for even more shopping. The Coastland Mall, Waterside Shops (which includes Saks Fifth Avenue and Gucci), and the Village on Venetian Bay, are all within a short drive from each other… but tread carefully, if you're not a big spender, you might have to window shop instead. All the more reason to choose vacation rentals in Naples over hotels. You'll save lots of money and have some leftover cash for a piece of jewelry at Tiffany.
Whether you're looking for a souvenir or scrumptious dinner, Naples has you covered, no matter what your tastes or budget.
What to See in Naples
If the Gulf of Mexico isn't enough for you, check out the sights in Olde Town. Walk along Millionaire's Row and take a look at the very first Naples beach homes and mansions. The waterfront communities of Naples are a charming bunch; be a part of them with one of our Naples beach house rentals. If you need some guidance, check out the many Naples tours.
When to Visit Naples
As far as weather goes, there's never a bad time to rent a Naples vacation home. However, the closer you get to the winter, the closer you get to the good deals, so consider spending Christmas break in one of our family-friendly Naples homes. (60 degrees is about as cold as it gets in Naples this time of year.)
When choosing a vacation date, keep in mind the local festivals and events. Thanksgiving through New Year's in Naples, for example, is an extra beautiful time to visit, as the city's decked out for the holidays and festive traditions like the Naples Bay Boat Parade and New Year's Art Festival are underway.
As well, every January, Naples puts on the Mullet Festival, which celebrates the fish, not the hairstyle! Foodies will love the Taste of Collier, where local restaurants get together and share their tastiest dishes every May.
What to Bring to Your Naples Vacation Rental
Naples vacation rentals typically have it all, including beach towels! But it's always best to know what to expect before you check in to one.
As you make your packing list, think about your plans. Whether it's Naples, Florida shopping, fishing, golfing, or sunbathing that will take up most your time, you'll need to pack appropriately. But sunscreen is a must! Also, bring your appetite… restaurants in Naples are a top attraction.
Naples Services
Naples has everything you need for fun on the water. Bait and tackle shops, marinas, boat rentals, child care, and wedding services are all here to make your stay in a Naples rental condo or home as convenient as possible.
What to Know About Naples
Naples is a city worthy of exploration, so get to know it on foot and on car! But don't ruin your Naples vacation by getting lost; map out your journey before you hit the road. Discover where the best Naples, Florida beaches, shops, and restaurants are located and begin each day with a plan. Hint: with a cheap Naples beach home, you can see as much of the city as you want without stressing yourself out.
Naples vacation rentals are a smart idea for your clan; with safe, clean beaches, and lots of Naples attractions for the young and old, this seaside town is a great for families. But whenever you go on vacation with the family, saving money is important. That's difficult to do in Naples, which is popular for its upscale shops and elegant dining. With cheap Naples condo rentals, a shoestring budget won't stop you from coming here.
Getting to Naples, Florida
Fly into the Naples Municipal Airport or the southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers. The latter is easier to do, but you'll have to rely on a car rental to get to your Naples vacation home. I75 will take you from Fort Myers to Naples.
Now that you've got a car rental, you can really get to know the city. While many parts of Naples, especially Olde Town, are walkable, it'd be a shame to contain yourself to just one section of the city! That's why a car rental is so handy. The Naples Trolley Tours are a decent alternative for Naples travel, however, as they'll take you around town for a day; it only costs $24 bucks. (Children ride for just $12.)
Why Naples, Florida rentals?
You'll really feel like a part of the Naples beach community in one of our lovely Naples beach rentals. Visiting Naples is an instantly attractive thing to do, but it's not cheap. That's where Naples condo rentals and vacation homes come into the picture!
If you want to enjoy all that the sophisticated city has to offer, from five-star restaurants to championship golf courses, it's best to do so with a vacation rental. Our delightful vacation condos and beach houses offer unprecedented value and make it affordable for families and thrifty vacationers to live it up in the Paradise Coast.

Editorial: Bullying case reveals systemic problems in school district
Original post made on Feb 8, 2013
Read the full editorial here Web Link posted Friday, February 8, 2013, 9:19 AM
on Feb 8, 2013 at 10:53 am
I too am really saddened by the lack of accountability by the Superintendent. An apology would have gone a long way. Hey the whole world knows the district made a mistake - own up to it! It is what it is. Poor display of character. If he was legally advised not to apologize.........fire the counsel. They sure weren't thinking about the public opinion, the healing process, the right thing.....etc.
on Feb 8, 2013 at 11:02 am
The Weekly has spent a lot of time, and "ink", attacking Kevin Skelly over the past couple of years. In its usual practice, it has printed guest opinions calling for Skelly's removal, rather than taking on that editorial position, itself.
Given that Skelly has been involved in questionable practices of under-the-table communications with the school board in the past, it's interesting that he seems to have not taken the community's seeming mandate for more transparency at the PAUSD to heart, and revealed this settlement in a more timely, and process-driven, way.
> For a district and community often viewed as mired in process,
> the investigation uncovered a stunning lack of protocols and
> systems for addressing serious complaints.
Superintendents are paid a lot of money (over $250K in Skelly's case) for reasons that are not exactly obvious. Should someone making that sort of money be expected to understand that insuring that appropriate systems/protocols for dealing with all of the legal obligations of the District was part of his job description?
To make matters worse, the myriad of "privacy rights" that employees like school superintendents claim makes it difficult for the tax-paying public to have any idea what his yearly work plan is, or if he has achieved those goalssuch as reducing "bullying", in this case.
The School Board is supposed to represent the public's interestsat least within the restraints of the CA EdCode. Yet, this Board seems to have become nothing more than a shield around the District's employees, and processes, showing little public interest, or understanding, of the details of the PAUSDwhich grows ever larger, year-after-year.
The lack of transparency of the PAUSD causes one to wonder if it would not pay to change the EdCode so that school superintendents would be required to have an authorization by the voters for a continuation of his/her job after three years. Currently, these people seem to be outside the normal check-and-balance mechanism of a periodic review of job performance by the people of the district. There is no reason that Kevin Skelly should not be required to face the voters, and directly explain his actions to them.
on Feb 8, 2013 at 11:23 am
To hide the report and then make the weak statements when it came to light shows serious a serious lack of professional skill and character. There is no way the situation will improve when Skelly and his Senior staff ignore the problem. They are broken and must go. They are the wrong people for the job.

Patient Billing
Patient Billing
To inquire about a bill: 817-547-9565
Understanding Your Responsibilities and UNTHealth's Commitment
Thank you for choosing the physicians of UNT Health. We are committed to clinical excellence and innovation in meeting your health care needs.
We understand that billing and payment for health care services can be confusing and complicated. We are here to assist you with information on how we process your bill(s).
The information below is designed to help you understand what we can do to assist you, what you can do to assist us and your insurance plan, and how we can help if you have difficulty paying your bills.
When You Come to the Hospital or Clinic:
UNT Health participates with most insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid. Prior to your hospital or clinic visit, check with your employer or insurance company to see if you have access to health care services at UNT Health, otherwise you may be responsible for all or a large portion of your bill.
Bring Your Health Insurance Information
Bring your complete health insurance information when you register. This includes identification, all insurance cards, and authorization forms. We will ask you to sign forms, such as a release of information, and possibly additional forms depending on your visit.
Inform us of Changes
If you are a current patient, please inform us if your personal or insurance information has changed since your last visit. The lack of current information can cause payment delays or denials that may ultimately leave you responsible for payment.
Making Co-payments
Co-payments for physician care and other balances you may owe are due on the day you receive services. If your insurance requires it, you will need to pay for estimated coinsurance or deductibles related to your care. If you have any questions regarding your co-payments or deductibles, please call your insurance company.
Making Deposits
For certain procedures not covered by insurance, you may be required to pay a deposit or pay for the service in full prior to your care.
Authorization of Services
Most health plans require authorization, particularly for elective services and may require you to notify your primary care physician. If your insurance company decides your service was not medically necessary, is a pre-existing condition, or is not a covered service, you will be asked to pay at the time of service.
Consent = Financial Responsibility
The person who consents to medical treatment will be financially responsible for the bill, including legal guardians of a child.
Medicare Patients: What to Expect
If you are a Medicare patient, you will be asked a series of questions regarding your status including other insurance you may have, and your retirement. These questions are required by law and must be asked each time you visit us. If you are covered by Medicare, we will submit your claims to Medicare on your behalf.
When Medicare Doesn't Cover a Service
Medicare requires we provide only those services approved by Medicare as deemed medically necessary. In the event the service is not covered by Medicare, we may ask you to sign a notice that makes you financially responsible for the services provided. Additionally, we will bill you and/or your supplemental insurance carrier for services not covered by Medicare such as self-administered medications and routine health exams. However, if neither covers these services you will be responsible for payment for these services.
Financial Assistance or Payment Plans
If you anticipate problems paying your portion of your bill, please let us know. We can help you apply for other types of financial assistance or payment plans.
After your visit:
Respond promptly to requests from your insurance company for additional information. These requests must be handled before payment can occur.
Call us With Billing Questions
If you have any questions about your bill(s), please contact our Customer Service Center and request to speak with a Patient Account Representative Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please call (817) 735-5065.
Who Can Discuss a Bill
Confidentiality is important. Our Patient Account Representatives may only speak with the patient or the person designated in writing by the patient to receive the bill(s) on behalf of the patient. This is required by both federal and state law.
Have Your Statement on Hand
To help us answer your questions efficiently, have a copy of your statement, insurance card(s) and any additional information available. Please note call times are heaviest on Mondays.
Mailing Instructions
To ensure that we credit your account properly, tear off the bottom or top portion of your bill and mail it in the envelope provided. If paying by check, write your account number(s) on your check.
What UNT Health Will Do For You
UNT Health's commitment is to provide care to all patients with a high level of dignity, respect and skill.
Can't Pay a Bill? We Can Help
Please tell us if you cannot pay your bill in full and let us help you. Our Patient Account Representatives can assist you with filling out applications for government-sponsored programs and describing monthly payment plans and other financial assistance programs available for those patients who meet certain financial criteria.
We Bill Your Insurance Directly
For services typically covered by insurance, we will bill your primary insurance company, and if applicable, your secondary insurance company as a courtesy, including Medicare and Medicaid. It is important to remember that health insurance coverage varies and some services may not be covered. If you have questions regarding your health insurance coverage, please call your insurance company to better understand how your policy works prior to receiving care at UNT Health.
Statements for Unpaid Balances
If your insurance company does not pay the entire bill, we will send you a statement to notify you of any remaining unpaid balances. We will not send you a statement until your primary insurance company has fulfilled its financial responsibility. This statement will usually come within 45 days after you have been to the hospital or clinic, unless there is a delay in your insurance's payment.
Methods of Payment
For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards for payment. Payment is due 15 days after you receive a statement.
Overpayment Questions
Please contact Customer Service if you have any questions regarding overpayments. If applicable, we will apply any overpayments to any of your other outstanding balances.
Itemized Statements for Attorneys
If your account is a result of an automobile accident or other accident caused by another party, you can request itemized statements to be sent to any attorney involved in the account. However, you will remain responsible for making payment on the account until the dispute is settled. We will follow all regulations related to accident coverage for patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid.

Cabins are a reasonable size although we did not use the tiny balcony much preferring to find a quiet spot on deck, they are kept absolutely immaculate as is the whole ship. Service is excellent everywhere, extremely polite, conscientious service and any little issue is taken very seriously and dealt with immediately.
Food is non stop, the Windjammer buffet is enormous and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as free ice creams and hot dogs by the pools, the dining room provides a much quieter breakfast experience and formal service in the evening. The coffee shop serving sandwiches, pizza, cake, coffee and cookies never seems to close all the food is good quality.
The bad bits, drinks are very expensive, I recommend pre-buying a soda package. all alcoholic drinks have 15% added to the price then staff want an additional tip. Transfers from ports also cost 10-15 euro per person and some of the distances are very short. The "entertainment" in the theatres is poor.
This is not a brilliant trip for sightseeing as the port Civitavecchia is not near Rome and you do not get chance to see it on either day, Genoa is shut on Sunday!
Lastly it was mainly Italians on board who are very rude, do not queue up, smoke everywhere and will knock you over rather than move, also they do not drink leaving bars empty and devoid of atmosphere.

Today is my very last Enlightened Motherhood post. It's been more than three years since I began writing this blog. When I started writing about yoga and motherhood, my son Lucien was a toddler in diapers. Now he's a soon-to-be first grader with his very own yoga practice. Here are my favorite, and most enduring, lessons from the past three years of yoga mom blogging.
1. When you (or your children) feel like freaking out, take a breath.
I can go from 0 to 60 like that, and so can my son. Our biggest, most important—and daily—yogic practice has been to take a breath when something goes wrong. We'll stop on the sidewalk, sit down on the kitchen floor, we've even been known to use conscious breathing on the subway. One breath is good, and five is even better. Breathing together calms our systems and brings us closer.
2. Even though it's just about impossible to carve out the time, do get yourself to class.
There are plenty of weeks when I disobey my own rule—and I almost always end up regretting it. Although it's a huge challenge to find time away from work and family to get to a weekly (or even better, twice weekly) yoga class, when I do get myself there I see why this matters so much. All week long after class with a wise and knowledgeable teacher, I find myself mothering with more patience and generosity and kindness.
3. Be kind to yourself when it just doesn't happen.
Some weeks you just aren't going to make it to yoga class. You have a new baby, a sick child, a spouse who is out of town, a work deadline, a bad cold. It's OK! This week, motherhood is your yoga practice.
4. Home practice, home practice, home practice.
There's always the living room floor. Roll out your mat after bedtime or during a nap; maybe even pop in a DVD for your little ones. Even a 25-minute session (just one PBS kids show) and you'll feel renewed. My favorite practice for moms? Restoratives!
5. You are what you eat.
Food is an investment in your family's well-being. Create a kitchen garden in your backyard; visit your local farmer's market; slow down your afterschool and work schedule so that there's time to make a healthy, whole-food dinner.
6, Try, try again.
When it comes to broccoli, bedtime, conscious breathing, and everything in between, don't give up on offering your child the healthy choice again and again. One day she'll surprise you.
Thanks to all the moms and dads who took this journey with me. I'll continue writing for Yogajournal.com as a guest blogger from time to time, and keep an eye out for my reviews and articles in Yoga Journal, the print magazine, including an upcoming feature story this fall about prenatal yoga. I hope you'll find my author page on Facebook and follow me on Twitter so we can stay in touch and I can keep you updated on my latest writing. And please look for my new memoir about family estrangement, a Kindle Single coming soon to Amazon.
