Dooley came to FGCU last spring following 10 seasons as the top assistant coach at Kansas where he won the 2008 national championship and nine Big 12 titles. There are currently 14 players on NBA rosters who played for Dooley during his time at Kansas. Dooley's first stint as a head coach was at East Carolina, and he has also been a successful assistant at South Carolina, New Mexico and Wyoming.
FGCU finished the 2013-14 season with a 22-13 record following the program's first-ever Atlantic Sun Conference regular-season championship courtesy of a 14-4 league mark. The Eagles participated in the NIT for the first time in program history as FGCU's 22 wins marked the second-straight 20-win season and were the second-most in the Division-I era (since 2007-08). Over the past two seasons, FGCU has won 30 home games and has claimed an impressive 48 wins overall, including 27 in A-Sun action.
The Eagles will return nine letterwinners in 2014-15, while four transfers will also be eligible in Dooley's second season at the helm. True freshman and 6-7 forward Logan Hovey (Orlando, Fla./Paul J. Hagerty HS) sat out the 2013-14 season following surgery to repair a stress fracture and he will have four years of eligibility beginning next year as a redshirt freshman. In addition, Dooley and his staff will have two incoming freshmen – guards Zach Johnson (Miami, Fla./Norland HS) and Christian Terrell (Jacksonville, Fla./Providence HS) – and welcome 6-11 sophomore center Eric Moeller (St. Louis, Mo./Central Florida (JUCO)/Missouri/DeSmet HS) and 6-9 UNLV redshirt sophomore transfer Demetris Morant (Miamia, Fla./UNLV/Bishop Gorman HS) to bolster what will be one of FGCU's deepest teams in program history.
2014-15 men's basketball season tickets are already selling quickly. Fans can renew and reserve their seat(s) by visiting the Alico Arena Ticket Office, calling 239-590-7145 or logging on to FGCUAthletics.com/Tickets.

Many teams make it a point to foster a family atmosphere.
The Master's College has received a lot of good news about the postseason recently.
It was a photo finish.
Some people thought the Hart baseball team was more likely to compete for third place in the Foothill League than a league title.
Last season, the West Ranch softball team earned its first-ever trip to the postseason.
The Saugus boys tennis team wasn't granted any favors in its first trip the postseason since 1996.
West Ranch senior swimmer Riley Mita has won his share of Foothill League titles, but he hasn't won a CIF-Southern Section Division I individual championship.
The Valencia boys tennis team didn't lose a match during the regular season.
When the ball left Saugus right fielder Erika Ecsedy's bat, everyone knew it was going over the fence.
By Paul Putignano
Only one team has scored more than 10 runs against the Valencia baseball team this season, and it's done it twice.
One team recorded a first.
The Valencia baseball team needed to get back in a routine.
The top 16 finishers at the Foothill League Swim Championships earn points, and when it comes down to it, the Hart and Valencia boys teams are going to need every single one.
Nick Ferry racked up individual and team achievements after a successful run with the Valencia High boys volleyball team.

The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine performance and long engine life. Fuel should be clean and free of contamination. Your fuel tanks should be kept full of fuel whenever possible. This will reduce the amount of water condensation and reduce the possibility of contamination.
Caution: Use of improper gasoline can damage your engine seriously. The use of any good-grade unleaded regular or premium gasoline with a minimum posted octane rating or Anti-Knock Index (A.K.I.) of 87 is satisfactory for use in gasoline marine engines. In areas where unleaded regular or premium gasoline is not available, use a good-grade leaded regular with a minimum posted octane rating.
A.K.I. of 89 may be used. However, gasoline containing alcohol, either methyl alcohol (methanol) or ethyl alcohol (ethanol) may cause increased:
• Corrosion of metal parts
• Deterioration of rubber and plastic parts
• Fuel permeation through flexible fuel lines
• Wear and damage of internal engine parts
• Starting and operating difficulties
Some of these adverse effects are due to the tendency of gasoline containing alcohol to absorb moisture from the air, resulting in a phase of water alcohol separating from the gasoline in the fuel tank. The adverse effects of alcohol are more severe with methyl alcohol (methanol) and are worse with increasing alcohol content.
Always follow the fueling precautions and safeguards found in your owner's manual!

Vanderbilt University has banned student athletes from a popular Midtown bar.
Tin Roof on Demonbreun Street was cited in court documents Friday in relation to the criminal case against several student athletes involved in the alleged rape of an unconscious 21-year-old student.
The documents revealed that 20-year-old Brandon Vandenburg was at the bar with the victim prior to the June 23 sexual assault at Vanderbilt's Gillette Dormitory.
Vandenburg, along with three other student athletes, was suspended from the school and dismissed from the football team after allegations of the rape emerged.
Vanderbilt's athletic director, David Williams, banned student athletes from the bar in a letter dated July 17, 2013, three weeks after the suspected crime.
In an interview with the Tennessean, Williams said he heard the bar was giving away free drinks and accepting fake IDs, which is not only illegal, but possibly violates an NCAA rule.
The rule prohibits student athletes from accepting anything of value given to them because of their status as athletes.
Williams also stated the ban is unrelated to the rape case.
As for Tin Roof, the owner told the newspaper that the bar does not give away free drinks or knowingly serve minors. The owner added he feels the bar has been unfairly targeted.
Police say Tin Roof has no more problems than any other bar in the area. Demonbreun Street is a popular hangout for college students and Tin Roof has been a hotspot for years.
The information regarding Vandenburg's attendance at the bar surfaced during a hearing for Chris Boyd Friday.
Boyd, a wide receiver suspended from Vanderbilt's football team, entered a conditional guilty plea after being charged with attempting to cover up the sexual assault.
He received an 11-month, 29-day suspended sentence for criminal attempt to commit accessory after the fact, a misdemeanor. If he completes probation, his record will be cleared.
As part of the deal, Boyd must also testify against Vandenburg, Jaborian "Tip" McKenzie, Brandon Banks and Cory Batey.
Each of the four men faces five counts of aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery. They are scheduled to be in court Wednesday, October 16.

New England Patriots
Tom Brady - #12 - QB
|6' 4"/ 225 lbs.
|San Mateo, CA
|Years played
|2000, 6th round, 33rd pick by Patriots
Bledsoe voted into Patriots Hall of Fame
Former NFL QB Drew Bledsoe has been voted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, the team announced on Monday.
RB Ridley, the Patriots' forgotten pick, ready to contribute
The Patriots used the 73rd overall pick to take RB Stevan Ridley, their second back selected in the draft. Ridley's name was lost in the shuffle when QB Ryan Mallett was chosen next at No. 74.
Patriots No. 9 pick scouting report: DB Malcolm Williams, TCU
The Patriots spent their final pick of the 2011 draft on another defensive back, Malcolm Williams, who admitted he was surprised to get the call.
Patriots place focus on long term
One year after drafting a class that contributed right away, Bill Belichick went with purely developmental prospects in 2011.
Patriots comfortable with pass rushers on roster
It was pretty much a consensus that a pass-rushing defensive end or outside linebacker would be high on the Patriots' priority list heading into the draft, but clearly, Bill Belichick didn't view it that way.
Patriots No. 8 pick scouting report: OLB Markell Carter, Central Arkansas
It took until their eighth pick, and the 29th pick of the sixth round before the Patriots addressed their need for an edge rusher by drafting Markell Carter out of Central Arkansas.
Patriots No. 7 pick scouting report: TE Lee Smith, Marshall
The Patriots drafted another player who will develop and likely not see the field much in 2011, Marshall TE Lee Smith.
Patriots No. 6 pick scouting report: OT Marcus Cannon, TCU
The Patriots made another value pick by drafting Marcus Cannon in the fifth round, a player who was once projected to go late in the first round.
Ask the experts: Best trade of the draft's first two days
PFW editors offer their take on the team that made the best trade in the first three rounds of the 2011 NFL draft.
Fantasy outlook: QB Ryan Mallett
One of the most surprising picks of the draft was QB Ryan Mallett heading to New England, and he won't have any fantasy value for a couple years.
Fantasy outlook: RB Stevan Ridley
Similarly to Shane Vereen, Stevan Ridley could get some touches in Bill Belichick's rotating backfield, but he will be hard-pressed to get fantasy points.
Fantasy outlook: RB Shane Vereen
California's Shane Vereen gets the first shot to be a member of Bill Belichick's split backfield in New England, which automatically diminishes his fantasy value.
A stunning pick, but Mallett makes a ton of sense for Patriots
Ryan Mallett's slide through the draft ended with the Patriots, and Bill Belichick may have completed another Draft Day steal.
Patriots make third trade; get Raiders' '12 second-round pick
The Patriots made their third trade of the 2011 NFL draft, trading their third- and fourth-round picks this year for the Raiders' 2012 second-round pick.
Patriots No. 5 pick scouting report: QB Ryan Mallett, Arkansas
The Patriots made maybe the draft's biggest surprise by taking Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett with the 74th overall pick.
A person familiar with the contract tells The Associated Press that Brady has received a three-year extension from the New England Patriots worth about $27 million.||||||| The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the extension has not been announced. The 35-year-old two-time league MVP was signed through 2014, and has said he wants to play five more years. By redoing his contract Monday, Brady also has cleared nearly $15 million from New England's salary cap. Brady currently has a four-year, $72 million deal with $48 million guaranteed.
The NFL has fined New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady $10,000 for an "aggressive slide" in Sunday's AFC championship game against the Baltimore Ravens. The fine was announced on NFL.com.||||||| On a first-and-goal near the end of the second quarter, Brady was forced out of the pocket to his left. He ran for 3 yards but slid before he could be tackled. In the process, he raised his right leg and kicked defender Ed Reed in the thigh. Brady reportedly apologized to Reed in a text message. The Ravens won 28-13 to advance to the Super Bowl.
Brady was 29 of 54 for 320 yards but threw only one TD and was picked off twice in Sunday's AFC championship game loss to Baltimore.||||||| Brady is 5-3 in his eight games against the Ravens, including the playoffs, but his statistics against them are among his worst against any team. The Ravens are the only team he's thrown more interceptions against (10) than touchdowns (eight). Brady's 49.1 rating in a 33-14 playoff loss to Baltimore on Jan. 10, 2010, was among the lowest in his career.
Brady was 22 of 36 for 284 yards and two touchdowns in New England's win in its regular-season finale against Miami on Sunday.||||||| Brady moved into second place in NFL history with a touchdown pass in 48 consecutive games, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas. And Brady became the first player to throw at least one scoring pass in all 16 games for three straight seasons.
Brady threw for 443 yards Sunday night, his second-highest total in one game, but the Patriots couldn't finish off a 28-point comeback in a 41-34 loss to San Francisco.||||||| Brady, who had 517 yards in a win over Miami last season, threw a touchdown in a 46th consecutive regular season game but was also picked off twice. If he throws a TD in his next game, Brady will tie Johnny Unitas' former NFL record of 47 consecutive games. New Orleans' Drew Brees holds the current mark at 54.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Owners of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, said Friday that they will receive $9.3 million from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to settle part of a lawsuit the circus owners filed against the ASPCA and several other animal-rights groups.
Feld Entertainment, which owns Ringling Bros., sued the ASPCA and the other groups in 2007 under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, contending the groups and their lawyers paid more than $190,000 to a former Ringling employee who had joined them in suing the circus company in 2000, alleging animal cruelty under the Endangered Species Act.
A federal court at the end of a six-week trial in 2009 ruled in the circus' favor. In its ruling, the court characterized former employee Tom Rider as a paid witness whose testimony was not credible.
Feld's racketeering lawsuit against the ASPCA also includes the Humane Society of the United States, the Fund for Animals, Animal Welfare Institute, Animal Protection Institute United with Born Free USA, Tom Rider and some of the attorneys involved in the litigation. Friday's settlement covers only the ASPCA.
"These defendants attempted to destroy our family-owned business with a hired plaintiff who made statements that the court did not believe," said Kenneth Feld, chairman and chief executive officer of Feld Entertainment. "This settlement is a vindication not just for the company, but also for the dedicated men and women who spend their lives working and caring for all the animals with Ringling Bros. in the face of such targeted, malicious rhetoric."
The settlement ends a part of a battle in what has been a decades-long war between animal-rights activists and circus companies such as Ringling. Activist groups have long held that Ringling treats its performing elephants cruelly. And over the years, they have released undercover videos showing trainers beating the elephants, which activists say are housed in cramped quarters and are poorly treated for debilitating diseases.

The Irish sometimes call it "St Paddy's Day" (or sometimes just "Paddy's Day"). I have certainly never heard anyone refer to it using "Patty". That's not a contraction of Patrick. It's a contraction of Patricia, and therefore a woman's name.

CATEGORIES MoviesThe other day I was asked on the new CBS This Morning program, (which is fantastic by the way) what was the momentous decision that got me into the movie business. And all I could remember was being 14-years-old and thinking, "I'm going to play high school baseball, go out to center field, catch an enormous fly ball and save the game." Instead, that ball kept traveling, traveling, and traveling, and sailed over my outstretched glove. All I could hear was, "YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD IT!" Right then and there I knew that baseball was not the career for me and I would settle for my second love, movies. I am a very lucky guy to have the chance to do what I do. But, over this last period of films, I keep thinking it's truly about the journey. I remember Marty Scorsese called his book A Personal Journey Through American Movies; we at Miramax Books were lucky enough to publish it. Part of the journey is the research of the characters in the story and the real life people that the films are based on.
In the case of Marilyn Monroe, I have already described Michelle Williams and her incredibly strong work ethic in terms of reading every book on the subject (and books beyond the subject) to understand and frame her character in My Week With Marilyn.
At that same very high altitude, you have Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady. Her knowledge is so strong about so many aspects of Margaret Thatcher. Like Michelle with Marilyn Monroe, Meryl's journey through the character of Margaret Thatcher has been fascinating to me. There is no character more polarizing on the liberal side of the street that I live than Thatcher. You might as well be talking about influenza. But, what Meryl always points out is how Margaret Thatcher's social agenda was so similar to that of many of the people that we call "progressive." She was for gay rights, she was for freedom of choice and she protected her ministers. Through all their scandals, she fought for their competency and didn't judge their personal lives against their professional lives. She was fiscally conservative, tough-minded in her principles and showed great integrity in what she stood for. In a way, she raises the leadership question for the United States. We need leaders, but today it's like everything else -- they play it safe. I hear those words all the time -- "playing it safe," "taking the middle ground," "taking the easy way out." That's why I'm so thrilled with The Iron Lady, because it's about not playing it safe. It's about taking the risks, about going out there and doing the things with integrity.
In today's world of tightly controlled public relations, is there any way to be other than safe? I always find myself rooting for people who stand up for what they believe in, and it always gives me a great charge to see it happen. But it's all too rare, and I know this will shock my Republican friends, but I know President Obama is someone who stands up for what he believes, and I know the First Lady does as well. They are strong believers in helping America's underserved. They might go about it differently than Margaret Thatcher, but their belief is strong. And in the end, lending a helping hand, may achieve the same result as Thatcher, if it is done properly.
When you watch the Republican debates: it's like having six fighters in the ring that never lay a glove on each other. It's incredible to me that somebody doesn't just take someone out in that forum. They never seem to do it. Everybody is just so bloody polite. That's why I love Margaret Thatcher: she made hard decisions and spoke freely. I was certainly against many of these decisions at the time, but the England that I went to when she was Prime Minister and the England that exists now is largely due to her great influence, her risk taking and her changing the attitude of the people to make them more entrepreneurial. She had the guts to make tough decisions that at the time made her incredibly unpopular, but in the long run did many wonderful things for England. As somebody says in the film, "She put the "Great" back in Great Britain."
The debate on the movie is fun because the conservatives get mad at you if you don't saint Margaret, and the liberals get mad at you if you don't demonize her. But, somehow the movie brilliantly shows Thatcher's humanitarian side. Especially in the scenes when Meryl plays the older Margaret Thatcher, they are deeply compassionate. Her acting so skillful that both sides of the bench, as they say, applauded her.
I thought it was kind of funny for Michele Bachmann on the last visage of the campaign to say that she was "The Iron Lady." John Campbell, who wrote The Iron Lady, which the movie was based on, said he's now afraid that the euphemism "Iron Lady," will be used in vain following Michele Bachmann's analogy. He also quoted Lloyd Bentsen's famous line to Dan Quayle. When Quayle invoked John F. Kennedy, Benson said, "I knew John Kennedy, AND YOU ARE NO JOHN KENNEDY." John Campbell said, "AND YOU (Michele Bachmann) ARE NO MARGARET THATCHER."
One of my favorite stories of Margaret Thatcher is how she got her nickname, "The Iron Lady." The name comes from the Russian Red Star Army Magazine who decided to call Thatcher "The Iron Lady" when they realized that she was going to assume the position of Prime Minister in the UK. And because of her position as a strong anti-communist, they meant "The Iron Lady" in a derogatory way. The next day, Margaret Thatcher dressed up in her best RED dress and said at her press conference that she loved the nickname. And for a special treat, she helped end the Cold War, destroy Communism in Russia, and bring freedom to the people. When you watch that press conference and see the incredible twinkle in her eye, you realize that twinkle is everything: take on the challenge, laugh in their faces and embrace an attitude. That is what's missing from so much of today's politics and so much of today's decision making.

Hi: 21° Lo:9°
By Connie Osborne Friday 17 January 2014 Updated: 17/01 09:56
A MEMORIAL bench will be installed in the town to honour a teenage fund-raiser who passed away last month.
Craig Prentice lost his life on December 10 from a cardiac arrest, just three years after his sister Charlotte died from sudden arrhythmic death syndrome.
The 17-year-old former Arrow Vale student was dedicated to helping his parents Robert and Maggie Underwood raise thousands of pounds for defibrillators to be installed in schools and public places across the borough as part of the Redditch Heart Safe campaign, created in Charlotte's memory.
Redditch Borough Council has quoted £1,000 for the bench which included the cost of installing it, completing health and safety specifications and ongoing maintenance.
Fellow students as well as friends of Craig have held fund-raising events such as cake sales to cover £500 of the cost towards the bench, while Coun Joe Baker who represents Arrow Valley East on Worcestershire County Council has donated another £500 from his divisional funds, used by councillors to benefit community projects.
It is hoped it can be placed in the green space near the pond off Green Sward Lane in Matchborough.
Coun Baker said: "The family have worked tirelessly for Redditch Heart Safe as well as the community. The bench would be a good way of raising awareness of the hard work, as well as the charity, and remembering Craig.
"It would be a place where people could go for remembrance and contemplation, and I think it would be a good way for the community to say thank you for all the work Craig and the family have done to help us."
Mr Underwood said: "For friends of Craig to go out and raise £500 by themselves is truly amazing.
"It is overwhelming that Coun Baker has chosen to do this and be so generous. It really has touched the family, it is such a wonderful thing to do."
John Godwin, head of leisure for Redditch Borough Council, said the land suggested appeared to be open public space which the council managed and were happy to support the idea.
"All that remains is to confirm the details of the installation as the council will be responsible for maintaining this memorial moving forward, and we want to ensure it is there for years to come."

|From the Thrift Shop
|Friday, December 27, 2013 9:00 PM
Shine. Sparkle. The Christmas and New Years's holidays emulate both words. There's no more sparkly, glittery, shiny time of the year than now. Around the Thrift Shop, those same two words can be used to describe both Alice Williams and Nora Gerdemann, who recently left us to shine and sparkle in heaven with the Lord.
The former treasurer and member of the Board of Directors for many years, Alice truly did shine and sparkle with anticipation in helping develop programs for those in need in our community. She was devoted in her mission to help bring a little joy and comfort to families and individuals who were burdened and struggling.
Nora was a faithful volunteer who, even with her aching, hurting feet, gave willingly of her time to run a cash register or to help in any way she could. The dictionary also gives other descriptions of shine; one being: To distinguish oneself in an activity or a field; to excel. When I looked up sparkle, it read: to be brilliant in performance; to shine. Thanks for a job well done, ladies. We will remember, miss and think of you often.
How ironic is it that as I left the Thrift Shop after my shift was over this evening, my foot kicked up a flat, little metal ornament out in the alley? In the dark, I couldn't see what it was but I was compelled to pick it up and I carried it to the car to look at it. Honestly, here is what it read: "I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers." Ephesians 1:16.
Speaking of shine and sparkle, there were many glittering and sparkling tops and dresses on the racks this evening. We anticipate keeping them out and will be bringing out even more beautiful dresses since the prom and bridal season will be getting into full steam very soon. In fact, the board is working on presenting a Prom and Bridal Showcase on Feb. 16, so be sure to mark your calendars. More details are being ironed out as to the exact time and place of the show. Private fitting rooms will be accessible and dresses will be available for purchase that day.
If you have prom or wedding apparel that you'd like to donate, we will be most appreciative of your donation. Shoes, jewelry, shawls and purses to complete the outfit will be most welcome as well. You can even ask for a receipt (for income tax purposes) for your donation. Rather than cramming, jamming and stuffing your dress in the drop off window, please know that someone is almost always near the back door to receive in those beautiful, poofy dresses or any donation you may want to drop off Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-noon. If you prefer, you can even call ahead at 419-692-2942 to arrange a time for the drop off.
The board members want to extend a very special thank you to the Arnold C. Dienstberger Foundation for their recent generous donation to the Thrift Shop. We will be able to develop and institute educational programs to help those in need. Many, many thanks also to the anonymous donors of monetary gifts and to the school clubs and organizations that held food and coat/clothing drives to benefit the Thrift Shop. Our hearts are warmed by your generosity and thoughtfulness. So many nice items came in that will be sure to provide warmth on these cold, cold days.
The Valentine's Day items will be on display within the next week or two, so be sure to get in and pick up a pretty sweater or top or some items to decorate everything from your table to the front door. There's greenery and flowers and vases and knick-knacks of all kinds that we are in the process of displaying.
I recently heard someone say they were going to make it their New Year's resolution to clean out closets and garages and attics and get their gently used items dropped off to our window at the rear of the building on the First Street side. What a great resolution. Another person told me they were going to make it their resolution to volunteer this year. We are always in desperate need of volunteers!
Christmas has passed (and all too quickly) but I am still reflecting on the words spoken in church this past weekend. Pastor said, and reiterated it in the bulletin that, "We all need a "Stable" background, and to keep Christ not only in Christmas, but in each day throughout the year." He also said, "To some, Christmas is all about the presents but let us remember that the best gift of all is Him."
From all of us at the Thrift Shop, we wish you all a very healthy, happy, safe, successful, and joy-filled peaceful New Year.

End of era as final former Chorley ROF land is sold for housing
10:10am Tuesday 14th January 2014 in Chorley
THE final development land at a former armaments factory has been sold to housebuilders.
BAE Systems said the land at the former Chorley ROF has been sold to Persimmon Homes and Redrow Homes.
This brings to an end BAE Systems' involvement in the main part of the redevelopment of site.
ROF Chorley was mobilised in 1939, and was one of the two largest filling factories in the country.
The 928-acre site, built between Euxton and Leyland, had a nine-mile perimeter fence.
The site employed 35,000 people at the peak of the war, and provided essential wartime ammunition to British armed forces. It accommodated up to 20,000 'residents' from around the country, and around the world – with a contingent from the US billeted on site.
Chorley MP Lindsay Hoyle, said: "This is an important moment in our local history.
"Now, when you drive through Buckshaw Village it is hard to believe that it used to be the site of the ROF.
"Chorley ROF played a vital role in nearly every conflict from 1939 up until the first Gulf War. Stages of production of the Dambusters bouncing bomb took place here. Then, in 1992 when the Gulf War broke out and bomb casings from WWII, that had been mothballed at the arsenal at Heapey, were brought back to Euxton, the factory operated 24 hours a day to refill the shells and ensure they were shipped to the Gulf.

text: Pan, tilt, and…slide? Parasol Systems' patented technology, developed for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and then used for last season's finale of American Idol, has come to the masses, with autonomously moving "ParaCarts." Think your moving lights move? They can move more if they're fixed on self-propelled, motorized, moveable carts that glide them along a predefined guide way or track. Controlled wirelessly, the tracks can be any shape or scale. We're thinking: Shotlight rollercoaster! One judge says, "It's pretty revolutionary in that it brings a custom solution to the mass market." Another calls it "a great solution, and Parasol has plans to take the idea even further with more complicated trussing and custom setups, etc. It has very interesting configurations potential." The folks at Parasol say that, in the company's earliest days, a "very influential lighting industry person" told the founders if they built this system to be safe, smooth, reliable, and quiet, they would have a hit. Looks like that person was right.

The Mackinac Bridge will be lit blue at sundown Tuesday and continue to be illuminated at night for the entire month as part of an autism awareness campaign.
The Mackinac Bridge Authority is working with several corporations and organizations for "Light It Blue Michigan." All costs are paid by private donations.
The campaign begins at 6 p.m. with a public ceremony at the Kewadin Casino in St. Ignace, on the north side of the bridge that connects Michigan's two peninsulas. Speakers include Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, who has a daughter with autism.
It's part of a national campaign that includes bathing the White House and Empire State Building in blue.
Autism affects people's ability to communicate and socialize. More than 50,000 people in Michigan have autism, including about 16,000 children.

Where is the 2012 Skate Canada International being held?
All competition events and practices for the 2012 Skate Canada International will be held at The WFCU Centre in Windsor, Ontario.
What time are the events and when do the doors open?
The event schedule will be available in the summer of 2012. At this time official practices are scheduled to begin on Thursday, October 25, 2012 with competition starting on Friday, October 26, 2012. Actual competition start times are subject to change up to and including the week of the event. The doors open each day 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the first practice. The most up-to-date schedule is always posted on the Skate Canada website at www.skatecanada.ca. It is recommended that you visit our website regularly to keep track of any schedule changes. If there is a schedule change and you cannot attend, tickets are non-refundable.
I am travelling from out of town. How should I book my travel and hotel room when I don't know the start and end times of the competition?
It is always recommended to book your travel after the competition schedule has been finalized. If booking prior to the schedule being published and you wish to attend all practices on Thursday, you should plan to arrive Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. If you do not plan on attending Thursday practices, plan to arrive Thursday evening in case competition begins early Friday morning. It is recommended to depart on Monday following the competition as the Exhibition Gala may end late on Sunday night.
Which athletes will be competing at this event?
The list of athlete entries for all Senior Grand Prix Series events will be announced in June 2012. Competitors are subject to change up to and including the week of the event.
How do I purchase tickets for the 2012 Skate Canada International?
Tickets can be purchased online at www.wfcu-centre.com, by phone at 1.866.969.WFCU (9328), or in person at The WFCU Centre Box Office. All-event ticket packages are available for purchase as of November 25, 2011 at 10 a.m. (ET) and cost $175 plus applicable surcharges. Single event session tickets will go on sale in the fall, depending on availability.
If a family member is a Skate Canada member or a Skate Canada volunteer, where do I order my tickets?
You must order your tickets through the same channels as the general public. For future events, members should watch for an e-mail about the Skate Canada Advantage Program which allows Skate Canada members front-of-the-line access to all-event tickets before they go on sale to the public.
What is included in the All-event ticket package?
The all-event ticket package gives you access to the entire event, from start to finish. Your ticket includes admission to all competition events, official practices and the Exhibition Gala, taking place October 25-28, 2012. If planning on attending multiple event sessions, an all-event ticket package is the most economical way to purchase.
How do I obtain entry to the practice sessions?
Practice sessions are included in the price of your all-event ticket or single event session ticket. Simply present your ticket at the door on the day of the practice or event to enter. All-event ticket holders may attend all practice sessions. Single event ticket holders may attend practices taking place during the session they are holding a ticket (ie. A Saturday Day ticket gives you access to practices happening before the start of the Saturday evening session, a Saturday Evening ticket provides access to any practices happening as of the start of that session only).
Are there any discounts for groups?
There are no discounts for large orders on all-event ticket packages. Continue to visit www.skatecanada.ca for information on single event group discounts if available.
Do I receive the same seats for each event?
If you purchase an all-event ticket, your seats will remain the same for all events. If purchasing single event session tickets, you may or may not get the same seat based on availability.
When will I know where my seats are located?
You will be advised of your seat location when you purchase your ticket. A seating chart is available online at www.wfcu-centre.com.
What procedure is used to allocate tickets?
Ticket allocation was based upon best available seating and the customer selecting their seat at the time of purchase.
Why are my seats flagged as being partially obstructed?
Due to the construction of the two-tiered judges' stand, commentator platform, kiss and cry and the install of television cameras, some seats may become partially obstructed in these areas. Skate Canada attempts to predict which seats may or may not be obstructed before tickets go on sale. It is uncertain which seats will be obstructed until on-site construction is complete at the event.
How can I get better seats next time?
Those who buy tickets on the day they go on sale have the best opportunity to get great seats.
Do children require a ticket?
Children under two years of age do not require a ticket if they do not need a seat. If they do need a seat, a ticket must be purchased at full price.
Where is the kiss and cry located?
The kiss and cry will be constructed by sections 120-122.
Where is the judges' stand located?
The judges' stand will be constructed in front of Sections 114-116.
When will I receive my tickets in the mail?
All tickets will be sent in September 2012 to the address given at the time the tickets were ordered. If you have not received your tickets by that time, please contact the WFCU Centre at 1.866.969.WFCU (9328).
Are the all-event ticket packages transferable or refundable?
All-event ticket packages are NOT refundable. There will be no exceptions to this policy. The event schedule and the athletes competing are always subject to change. Any tickets printed at The Hershey Centre box office can be broken down into separate event sessions and used by different people. No individual event session ticket can be used by more than one person per session.
Can I bring my camera and take pictures during the event?

Community Health Programs
The Community Health Programs of the TAHD are intended to address the eight basic health programs as required for funding by the Connecticut Department of Public Health. The eight programs are Public Health Statistics, Health Education, Nutritional Services, Maternal and Child Health, Communicable and Chronic Disease Control, Environmental Services, Community Nursing Services, and Emergency Medical Services. TAHD Community Health Programs are based on public health statistics, demographics, and various local community health assessments.
The TAHD uses federal, state and local grants to carry out most of its Community Health Programs. These funds are sometimes based on competitive grants awarded to the TAHD because of the many population-based services already offered by the Health District. The TAHD is also in a strong position to contribute in-kind facilities and services to broaden the affects of most grants beyond their anticipated goals. All these programs are designed to promote mental, emotional and physical health and well being, and to prevent disease.
