Darren Thellen, the face of UMass' upgrade to FBS football, has been named the university's Male Athlete of the Year.
From UMassAthletics.com:
Thellen started all 12 games on the season and served as one of the team leaders for the squad in its first-ever year at the FBS level. Thellen set the tone for the Minutemen throughout the year and earned All-MAC Second Team from the Mid-American Conference and Third Team All-MAC by Phil Steele Magazine as a result of his strong play in the secondary. Thellen finished the year with 79 tackles – the second-most on the squad – and tallied three interceptions to help the Brockton, Mass., native finish his career as the program's all-time leader in interception return yardage (256) on 10 picks.
Thellen's senior campaign started off with a bang against the University of Connecticut. In a losing effort, Thellen tipped a thrown-away pass to Tom Brandt for an interception. ESPN took notice:
The Brockton native was recently invited to the New York Giants' minicamp.
Not for nothing: Thellen was also named team MVP by the Maroon Musket.
While Thellen brought home the Athlete of the Year Award, the enture football senior class collectively took home the Inspirational Male Athletes of the Year.
Again, from UMassAthletics.com:
Despite being unable to qualify for the NCAA Playoffs or CAA Championship as juniors and not eligible to participate for the Football Bow Subdivision (FBS) postseason in 2012 as seniors, the UMass football senior class played with heart, passion and desire while at the same time they worked to build a strong foundation for the FBS era. Honoring the class with the Inspirational Male Athletes of the Year award symbolized the senior class' dedication to working within the highest ideals of the University and its choice to stay at the University despite not being able to play in the postseason for two years.

Todd Ricketts moments before last year's Wrigley Field Road Tour kicked off.
Updated: October 18, 2013 2:25PM
When I was growing up in Nebraska, we didn't have a lot. This meant that the only bike I ever owned was a hand-me-down from Woolworth's. The crank on the bike was broken, and would lock up when I pedaled down the street.
One night, I left my bike in the driveway (everyone did back then), and it was stolen. I was ecstatic! Now my parents would have to get me a new bike. Sadly, whoever stole my bike also realized the crank was broken, and threw it in a ditch down the street from our house.
Today, I don't just like bikes — I love them. Maybe it's bikes' carefree, childlike nature. Or maybe it's the sense of community we get from biking, which pulls us out of the cocoon of the daily commute. I now own a bike shop in my neighborhood, and the satisfaction I get from seeing my neighbors embrace cycling cannot be put into words.
Though bikes likely can't solve many of the world's problems, they can go a long way toward mitigating them. For instance: If you don't like paying $5 for a gallon of gas, ride your bike. If you're concerned about the environment and global warming, if you notice that our urban infrastructures can no longer handle the traffic demands of society, if you're concerned about public health or just need to lose a few pounds — ride your bike.
Now think outside of our communities and neighborhoods. Think of the daily tasks people of Africa perform each day just to survive. Bikes provide a simple solution to many complicated problems in the developing world. They allow health care workers to deliver medicine to the sick and elderly. They allow a mother to fetch water from long distances. They allow an entrepreneur to deliver his goats to market. And most importantly, bikes give children in rural areas an opportunity for an education that they would otherwise be denied.
Four years ago, I got involved with World Bicycle Relief. The organization was founded by F.K. Day right here in Chicago to help those in the developing world. It has delivered more than 100,000 bikes to health care workers, mothers, entrepreneurs and school children in these areas, impacting millions of lives.
Each year, to support these efforts, the Chicago Cubs Charities teams up with WBR for the Wrigley Field Road Tour, which helps spread the word about the impact of bicycles in the lives of those less fortunate than us. We do this by opening the gates of Wrigley Field to cyclists of all kinds and riding 100 miles around our own community, culminating with a barbecue on the field.
On Sunday, we again will set out from Wrigley Field on our bikes for a 100-mile ride. Visit worldbicyclerelief.org/wrigleyfield

List of resources from Spring 2005 NASPA/ACPA eLearning students in Using the Internet for College and Career Advising
Resources Shared throughout the course
I found a really good
website that describes what an e-portfolio is, how, and why to set one
up...really helped me better understand the e-portfolio!
Our College's web site has a self-paced on-line course on HIPAA regulations which I intend to take one of these days. It can be accessed at http://www.cphs.wayne.edu/hipaa/training.html
Working as I do with students interested in health professions, I'm constantly recommending Dan Knauft's wonderful web site at http://www.healthprofessions.org/ as a place to get started.
The Online Teaching Program for Academic and Business Professionals consists of three tracks–Conventional, Advanced, and Corporate. The URL is: http://www.uclaextension.edu/
There's a nice write-up of e-porfolios
in NACADA monograph #M07 entitled "The "e" Factor in Delivering Advising and
Student Services" which you can read about at
One of the examples which I first saw featured in that monograph is Kalamazoo College's program which you can find out about at http://www.kzoo.edu/pfolio/
There's no question that online teaching takes more time than on ground teaching. Here is an article that may be of interest to you: Teaching Online: A Time Comparison http://www.westga.edu/%7Edistance/ojdla/spring81/cavanaugh81.htm
I am currently interested in being as
tech-savvy as possible. I am particularly interested in how to create a webpage
that is visually pleasing and organized in an effective and communicative way.
Anyone know of any resources that can help with this? I have looked at Florida
State University's website but that is about it:
There is information about how you can
develop a website that accommodates individuals with special needs.
Check out our Ask the Panther (yes,
our mascot!) page here:
It allows for a huge FAQ database and then if you still don't find your answer it allows students to log in for email advising. We have people answering question from Advising, Financial Aid, Business Office, Admissions and a General person.
You are so right - we have to be cognizant of the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Here is a link: http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html
Here's a nice Overview from NACADA: http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/Resources/FERPA-Overview.htm
Do you ever use CollegeSource to look up course descriptions? It's tedious, but I usually find the college catalog, then go to the index to find course descriptions. They are PDF files which are kind of a pain, but it seems to take less time than figuring out where colleges put course descriptions on their website. http://www.collegesource.org/home.asp

Article Summaries
Advising Manual for
Reference, Training, and Professional Development
believe the suggestion of this article is that it is more cost effective and less time consuming to update an Advising Manual posted online versus using a paper copy. Additionally, it appears the goal of creating an online manual may be to reach a wider audience and provide up to date information on changes in policy instead of waiting for paper copies to be changed.
This seems like an excellent idea to me for several reasons, although I do have a few concerns. At our college, we have recently just sent out our Advising Manual (hard copy) and it has been sent to various faculty and professional staff who have been designated as Advisors in addition to their regular responsibilities. While it is critical to utilize such staff to advise since we cannot accommodate the number of students enrolled with so few professional Advisors, the concern is that they will not be current on changes made since the hard copy of the advising manual went out. They are not part of Advising staff meetings, where we discuss program or course issues, so they are not always aware how to advise students with the most current information.
Technology in Advising: A
Personal Perspective
think one's personal perspective has much to do with how this issue is accepted as a matter of course for advisors. Lattimer refers to a NACADA survey from 2004 on using technology in advising. There is no reference to the specific results of the survey but rather how one respondent stated "I want to see my students, not interface through email". Some of us see technology as a dark force but the fact remains that advisors cannot see all 500, 800 whatever amount of students in person anyway. She asks readers to "keep and open mind" about using technology.
Her college implemented an Instant Advising process-only through the advising center, not campus wide. It is an attempt to meet students "on their ground", and that "technology is their ground". Her point is also that, in most cases, we are doing more with less as budgets are being reduced. A developmental advising relationship is of value to students and the use of technology can diminish that. Matriculating students is an end goal and using technology can facilitate that goal.
Creating a Virtual Advising
Center: Student Services in an Online Environment
I'd like to say that I learned a lot and that it was very interesting, but it really was not all that enlightening. I had done an internship at Springfield Technical Community College where a large majority of students are distance learners and do advising on Blackboard. Honestly, through utilizing Blackboard a bit more during this course, I have some concerns of my own. I really think that the student needs to attend a mandatory training on how to use Blackboard, otherwise there could be even more confustion added to the already confusing aspect of academic advising. I could see how a student, like myself, would be overwhelmed with decisions as to which classes I am going to take and then to learn how to use Blackboard on top of that....NOT pretty. I just think that before we jump into using these online forums for academic advising, that we need to make sure that there is clarity in the use of Blackboard (or another online tool) and make sure that proper training is in place. Some students may be the tech savvy ones that don't need it, but for those who are already stressed about the academic advising process, a thoughtful and clear overview of how to use Blackboard would be most helpful and ease some unfamiliarity with the tool.
What Can and Should We Do
with E-Mail? An Outline for a Systematic Approach
Email is something of a time sink, where we lose hours almost invisibly. That is, though of course, we expect others to read and respond to our emails thoughtfully, the time and energy spent on email is not apparent to our clients or colleagues. It is measurable in a sense, if we were to record the number of minutes spent per day on email responses. The tally might astonish us.
Lipschultz observes that e-mail interactions ¡§do not require the participants to be in the same place at the same time, and communications can take place either conversation-style¡K or announcement-style.¡¨ He further observes that email ¡§allows advisers and students to hold conversations with one another at optimal times.¡¨ Lipschultz suggests that future research examine the time frame for email responses, though he does not indicate what aspect(s) to be studied beyond the feasibility of externally-set time protocols, e.g., ¡§an adviser will respond to you within three days.¡¨ Regardless of what research might indicate, our expectations will not change and so may not ameliorate our sense of urgency in replying to email and receiving a message that a response will not come for another three days would be very frustrating. ¡§Why not just answer the question in the first place?¡¨ we might be asked, if confronted politely.
In the end, email is an opportunity and a challenge. While Lipschultz offers some possible solutions to advising through email including use of emoticons, sensitivity to confidentiality, use of e-mail directories, and maintaining email traffic. My questions on the topic of email include the following:
"X Is a pre-determined response time protocol practical or will it foster ill-will?
"X Does the advantage of timing responses balance against the time spent and then balance against what would have been spent in a one-to-one session?
"X Do emoticons contribute any value to email responses?
In one reference for this article, ¡§Using E-mail effectively in academic advising,¡¨ examples of the good, the bad, and the ugly, of email advising were provided and were somewhat illuminating and often amusing. Clearly, email presents opportunities and challenges.
Top Advising Sites
I am fond of this website as I work with a large amount of social science majors (Family Studies, Sociology and Psychology) and this site has great information for students. Students can access this page without being a member and some highlights are as follows:
• Lists all different areas of social science in psychology and has a direct link to the website of the specialty area division. So if a student is interested in Industrial Psychology, they can attain information on what that field is about and resent trends in I/O Psychology.
• Advises students on what type of traditional job opportunities are available with each level of education from high school to doctorate.
• Has information targeted to those considering a career in psychology.
• Advisement on how to get into graduate school and information on accredited programs.
I often work with students who will graduate as RNs and this site give them career management advise and information about recent trends and development in the field. It also has a job posting function.
This is a site of our main website that we developed to represent well over 100 majors that we offer on campus. This is something that we extensively researched and demonstrated to students typical job titles that were related and unrelated to majors as well as some direct links to recommended websites to gain additional career related information. I use this as a spring board for discussion for students who have narrowed down their choice of major to maybe 5-10 selections. They are encouraged to go on line and explore the link for each major and take particular notice of what they like or dislike after investigation to assist them with further elimination of choices.
This is a fun website that I use to demonstrate how an interest can translate to a potential career opportunity. I often find that students study a liberal arts and science degree because they enjoy the subject matter but have no interest in pursuing a vocation that may be naturally associated with that major. Through simple discussion we talk about how an interest, paired with education and experience can translate into something a person really enjoys doing and this is a fun way to demonstrate this theory.
The University of Virginia has developed this database that demonstrates that there really is only 6 degrees or less between two people. Often times during the semester I conduct a presentation on Networking to either a class or a stand alone workshop and we talk about the importance of networking in order to identify opportunity. This is a great visual way that draws students in do they can fully understand the concept and that it really works.
Transferable Skills Survey found at:
Although it is limited, I think it is a useful tool to get students thinking about transferable skills. Many students I meet with are non-traditional. Some are older and changing careers, often going into Health programs like Nursing or Radiologic Technology. These students are often seeking such careers for job stability, but have no idea if it is something they will enjoy or be good at. This website lists many skills in various categories to get you thinking about what skills you possess and what categories they fall under. Many people only think about what jobs they have performed and not what skill allowed them to perform that job successfully or not so successfully. As a result, they may not realize that the strong human relations skills they possess will work well for them in Nursing, while their lack of attention to detail could prove literally fatal in the same career.
The problem with this self assessment tool is that it ends after rating your skills level in each category, leaving the user with no follow up information to help them figure out what to do with their transferable skills. I think it could be helpful to students who are thinking about changing careers and need help with resumes and interview questions. It may get them thinking about their strengths and how to convey that to a potential employer.
College & Career Quest Exercise
Although I thought it was very interactive and well organized, the overall look of the page could use some work. I think that students are looking for something that is up-to-date and that includes graphics, text, etc. I think that this website would work great as long as the student is working with the career counselor and making sure that the steps are completed one at a time. I think a student could feel overwhelmed so as long as the career counselor gives each step as a "homework assignment" and follows up with the student, I think this could be a very useful tool. The student also needs to know that there is a certain amount of research and work involved and needs to be held accountable to complete the task thoroughly so that he or she gets the most out of it.
"What can I do with a major in..."
http://www.uncw.edu/stuaff/career/Majors/index.htm. This website is administered by the University of North Carolina Wilmington. It provides a good range of possible majors immediately with the opening page and, once choosing, it provides a listing of possible career choice titles, related skills needed, related websites for the particular major, job listing and job search sites as well as career planning information. A variety of professional associations websites is also included for each major.
I work with Health majors i.e nursing students a great deal. What I like about this site is the reference to the variation of career titles for nursing as well as the links to websites that are strictly about the nursing profession. It is easy to work through, clear to read without a lot of distraction. This site would allow a student who is interested in nursing and working toward acceptance as well as the student who is in the program, to seek information regarding the profession, licensing, job market, etc. in a very accessible format.
This site would also be a very good resource for a student who comes in expressing an interest in a major but is not sure where it would take him/her.
Armed with such information, a student would be able to further clarify or solidify a choice of a major and/or educational path with an advisor.
I am most interested in assisting
students with learning more about their interests. I choose to review Career Key
In the past, I have seen a paper and pencil version of this, but much preferred
the on line version. I think it gives students a broad overview of the Holland
Codes and provides a strong springboard to start discussion. In the past I have
used www.personalitytype.com and
http://keirsey.com/matrix.html. I would recommend utilizing these as a
homework assignment with students so there is f2f exchange and some learning can
occur. My one fear is students stumble on to these resources and are unable to
understand how it applies to them and than get discouraged with the overall

title = { Speculations on Human-Android Interaction in the Near and Distant Future},
year = {}
A psychologist and an AI researcher speculate on the future of social interaction between humans and androids (robots designed to look and act exactly like people). In reviewing the trajectory of currently developing robotics technologies, the level of android sophistication likely to be achieved in fifty years time is assessed. On the basis of psychological research, obstacles to creating an android indistinguishable from humans are considered. Implications of human-android social interaction from the standpoint of current psychological and AI research are discussed, with speculation on novel psychological issues likely to arise from such interaction. The science of psychology will face a remarkable new set of challenges in grappling with human-android interaction.

Ever since its 2007 debut, the Assassin's Creed franchise has been presented as a one-sided affair. Chronicling the persistent struggle between the Assassins and the Templars, Ubisoft has always framed the story casting the former in a positive light. Assassin's Creed Rogue has a new take on that formula, which, in some ways, makes it the most refreshing, thought-provoking, and introspective installment in the series to date.
Unfortunately, it's also the laziest.view full story + comments
The Tales series may not have the same cachet in the West as do other prominent role-playing game franchises, but its renown is definitely on the rise. Bandai Namco has expressed more confidence in the franchise in recent years, showing a willingness to push Tales as a global brand rather than just a curiosity for Japanese audiences.
It seems there's a market for this sort of thing -- a healthy niche that appreciates something more antique in a world so obsessed with pioneering and being cutting-edge. Time marches on and the Tales series digs its heels into the ground, refusing to yield to fads and ephemeral trends. It's old-fashioned to a fault. But would you have it any other way?view full story + comments
In 2011, I lost a chunk of my life. An insidious tendril of addiction, despair, and obsession caught me by the ankle and dragged me into the The Binding of Isaac's darkened basement. I lost dozens of hours, whole days at a time. I let life slip by around me while muttering a demented mantra of "just one more try, just one more try..."
Now with the release of Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, a 16-bit looking half-remake, half-sequel of the original, I can feel the same cold touch on my leg. Its grip is stronger than ever, pulling me back into the same dark pit. I should kick and scream and try to escape... Well, maybe just one more try won't kill me.view full story + comments
Assassin's Creed IV was a turning point for the series. While a lot of fans were disappointed by the pointless Revelations and the polarizing Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag delivered everything you could possibly want from Ubisoft, and then some. Fans embarked on quite the adventure with Edward Kenway, and many newcomers even described it as "a pirate game that happens to be Assassin's Creed."
Assassin's Creed Unity doesn't live up to the new standard set by Black Flag, but it's a journey worth taking if you're already into the series, and proves that the franchise is still sustainable.view full story + comments
Dragon Age II felt like a great action game that was outsourced to a lesser developer. It lacked the polish BioWare typically puts into its titles, and almost the entire affair felt like a gigantic step back from everything Origins had established. What was once a promising franchise that reminded me of the glory days of RPGs such as Baldur's Gate became a shadow of its former self, with lazily re-used assets and no sense of scale.
BioWare went back to the drawing board with Inquisition, the third Dragon Age outing, and the game is all the better for it. It feels like a culmination of its predecessors' strengths, with all of the bells and whistles that come with current-gen hardware.view full story + comments
I am not opposed to change. While certain circles of Halo fans find it popular to hate Halo 4, I've always appreciated what 343 Industries did with that game. Sprint was a logical next step to character movement, while loadout abilities such as shielding, dexterity, and promethean vision felt like natural additions to Halo's formula.
With Halo 5: Guardians, well, I'm not quite so excited with what 343 is doing. During my time with Guardians I often struggled to find that feeling of playing a Halo game.view full story + comments
The prospect of playing as a Ninja again in Final Fantasy excited me. After working my way up to level 50 in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, the class ended up having so much style and substance that it changed the game for the better, and I'll be enjoying it for months to come.
While the rest of the Dreams of Ice update wasn't as enjoyable as playing a Ninja at endgame, A Realm Reborn remains worth playing.view full story + comments
I started an account on Destructoid.com back in 2007. Shortly after that I was hired to write a few news posts here and there. Seven years later, I'm lucky enough to call this place a second home. I've created video shows for the site, written essays and reviews, interviewed game developers, and, more than anything else, I've done my best to be a lover of games.
For whatever reason, the people who run this joint have asked me to become the new editor-in-chief. I was afraid I couldn't do the position justice. I'm still afraid. That's how I know it's important. That's why I'm taking the job.view full story + comments
Ocarina of Time is one of those incredibly well made games that just never clicked with me. Maybe it's because it was too much like A Link to the Past, except everything looks worse and takes longer to do. Maybe it's because the game's theme of being a child and an adult at the same time is something I can't relate with. Either way, I've tried repeatedly to finish the game and I always lose interest well before the end.
I have the exact opposite relationship with Majora's Mask. Like Earthbound, it's a game that I have not been able to stop playing since it first came out over 15 years ago. I think about it pretty regularly, and talk about with people who aren't at all interested in the topic at least once a month because I can't help it.
Majora's Mask is a game about do-overs. It actually feels like a do-over of the game that came before it. Ocarina wanted to be about being an adult, but in the end, it was just about being in an adult's body while living like a child, experiencing the best of both worlds. Majora's Mask does the opposite. It's about having to live like an adult and being treated like a child. It's about learning from your mistakes, being empathetic, and knowing that every second you're on this planet is another second closer to your inevitable death.view full story + comments
There's certainly been intrigue surrounding Resident Evil: Revelations 2. Since its existence was leaked a few months back and several cryptic images of a derelict prison made the rounds, there has been speculation about what to expect from this installment. And, with the return of characters from other titles, there is evidently a larger focus on linking things back to the series' past.
Its predecessor, Resident Evil: Revelations, felt very much like a back-to-basics approach to the series, which earned a lot favor from fans. With the upcoming sequel, more characters from the past are brought back to the forefront and are drawn into a greater conspiracy. Obviously, this isn't entirely new for the franchise. However, with the greater focus on mystery in Revelations 2 and how Capcom plans to release the game in episodes, it could give the series a much needed change of pace. After Brett's hands-on time with the sequel back at Tokyo Game Show, he was left unsure of what to expect from the game. And, judging from my own time with it last month, that might be for the best.
This is one title you might want to go into blind.view full story + comments
Over at Blizzcon today, Blizzard has announced Overwatch. This is named similarly to Insomniac's original name for Fuse, which was Overstrike, and is also a cartoonish, team-based first-person shooter.
There is a fighting gorilla in it. And it's coming out sooner than you might expect, with a beta starting in 2015 and Blizzcon attendees able to play it this weekend.
You can sign up for the beta here. There are also little profiles for all of the announced heroes, including gameplay videos. so start calling dibs. I like Hanzo, Tracer, and Mercy for looking like an Evangelion.view full story + comments
Although Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary was a noble effort to remaster the original game that brought first-person shooters on consoles into a post-Goldeneye era, I couldn't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the overall package.
I enjoyed the idea of replaying the original, but there weren't enough bells and whistles to keep me interested for a lengthy period of time. Enter the Master Chief Collection, which not only gives you the remake of the first game, but a fully-featured remaster of Halo 2, as well as Halo 3 and 4.
I never thought I'd see the day when four major Halo games are under one roof [disc], but here we are. With promises of full 1080p support and 60 frames-per-second across every game, Halo: The Master Chief Collection follows through where it counts, and is now the new standard for remakes.view full story + comments

After the disappointing Call of Duty: Ghosts, Activision needed fresh ideas, and Sledgehammer was just the developer for the job. Even before it delivered its first game, a weight has been lifted off of Infinity Ward and Treyarch's shoulders. No longer does it need to turnaround a Call of Duty every other year, and there is more time to figure out how to make the series fresh again.
As a result, Sledgehammer has a lot riding on Advanced Warfare, the newest game in the series. It has everything going for it -- a fresh futuristic theme, the same core multiplayer gameplay everyone knows and loves, and the talented Kevin Spacey running the show with the campaign.
The gambit paid off, even if it won't bring back in those who have sworn off the series.view full story + comments
Over the weekend, details came out of PAX Australia regarding the first downloadable Vault Hunter for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. At first, it looked to me like a commendable gesture for a series that receives a lot of criticism on its downloadable content policy. To include a new character in addition to the originally promised content for those loyal enough to buy a season pass seemed worthy of applause. However, that image was based on a misinterpretation of the official blog post's line that references "all four of the upcoming add-on content packs," and a few other (incorrect) assumptions.
As it turns out, the Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack is DLC #1 for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (November 11 is upcoming, after all), and I could only feel more disappointed by that revelation if I had actually purchased this iteration's season pass. My condolences go out to those who did.view full story + comments
[Note: Jonathan Holmes' name appears in the Special Thanks section of Woah Dave!'s credits. No one knows why. One guess is it's because Jonathan and Woah Dave! creator Jason Cirillo had a decent conversation at PAX East 2014, during which time Jonathan was wearing a Woah Dave! t-shirt. Maybe that's it.]
Woah Dave! is a game that you don't want to get excited for. Any hype at all, even the slightest praise, might ruin your chance of getting into it. Ironically, there are plenty of reasons why some people can't help but be excited for Dave. For one, it's the latest game from Choice Provisions (formerly known as Gaijin Games), who have quite a large and dedicated following chomping at the bit for a new game from the studio. Not only that, but Woah Dave! has both an exclamation point and the word "woah" in the title, as though the game itself is excited that it exists.
If you go into the game expecting to say "woah!" right away, you may be disappointed. Like Super Crate Box, Geometry Wars, or Samurai Gunn, it's not a game that works to impress at first. That makes it all the more surprising when you discover how deep, intense, and unpredictable this game of controlled chaos can get.view full story + comments

Sleep not included: Cimino's 72-hour Daily Journal
May 12, 2014Tweet
By John Hartrick (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The following is a 72-hour journal written by women's basketball coach Linda Cimino, detailing her hectic 72-hour transition from head coach and administrator at Caldwell College to her start at Binghamton.
TUESDAY, April 8
10 p.m. – Get word from Binghamton that I "passed" my background check
Midnight – Lights out
WEDNESDAY, April 9
5 a.m. – Wake up (5 hours of sleep) and make 90-minute drive from Massaequa, Long Island to Caldwell (N.J.)
6:30 a.m. – Arrive at Caldwell and get workout in at Fitness Center (NOTE: Cimino was in the midst of a 125-day fitness challenge of performing at least 30 minutes of exercise every day)
8 a.m. – Shower and get ready for the day
9 a.m. – Meet with Caldwell AD Mark Corino and put a plan in place to tell the women's basketball staff, team and administration (NOTE: Cimino was an associate AD at Caldwell in addition to her coaching role)

1-2 p.m. – Attend a communications class on campus to assist one of my players, Nicole Angelo, for her class project, which was to conduct a live radio interview. This was very difficult because the subject matter was the future of the Caldwell program and I hadn't told the team yet. I had decided that since this was a very important project for Nicole's grade in the class, I wanted her to do great and not be distracted, so I didn't tell her at the time. It was so hard knowing I was leaving but needing to talk to her as if I was staying. Thankfully, after I told the team, she understood why I had to do that.
2:30-6 p.m. – Return to my office and organize all my files, complete some unfinished work and show my AD how to do the things I was responsible for (NOTE: Cimino was a jack-of-all-trades at Caldwell. In addition to her coaching and administrative roles, she handled the equipment room, lined the athletic fields and was one of the most visible people at home events)
6-7:15 p.m. – Drive to the mall to buy a green shirt for the Binghamton press conference
7:30 p.m. – Eat pizza with my assistant coaches and tell them I was leaving
8-8:45 p.m. – Meet with team. This was very hard … lots of tears. I told them "We all have dreams and this is mine."
9-10 p.m. – Meet with two players separately
10 p.m. – 2 a.m. – Clean out office and bring all my personal stuff to car and storage closet
2:15 a.m. – Go down the street to sleep at a friend's apartment
THURSDAY, April 10
6 a.m. – Arrive at Caldwell (3 ½ hours of sleep)
6:10-7:10 a.m. – Work out
8:30 a.m. – Clean out personal stuff from coaches' locker room and visit with staff, contact remaining "inner circle" who I hadn't spoken to yet
10 a.m. – Meet with AD to tie up loose ends, handle administrative tasks
10:30 a.m. -12:45 p.m. – Organize equipment room, uniforms, label items for next person. Wash and lay out my personal Caldwell gear for other department colleagues to choose from
1 p.m. – Meet with Caldwell College President and Vice President (with my AD)
1:30 p.m. – Meet with human resources and another VP to give letter or resignation, review payroll, insurance details
2-4 p.m. – Get manicure and have hair blown out for press conference
4 p.m. Begin drive to Binghamton (2 hours, 20 minutes) – during drive called mentors, AAU coaches, players, friends – on phone entire length of drive (NOTE: Binghamton released news that Cimino was the new wbb coach at 4 p.m.)

10 a.m. – Meet with Dave Eagan to review NCAA compliance
11 a.m. – Meet with John Hartrick and David O'Brian to review press conference itinerary, protocol
Noon – Meet with Pat in conference room and eat lunch
12:15 p.m. – Learned about Mr. Hartwell passing … was upset and didn't eat lunch (NOTE: Robert Hartwell was the longtime Adelphi AD and a close mentor)
12:30 p.m. – Review notes

Ghost Caught on Camera at Hotel: Real or Fake?!by Tattle Taylor at . Updated at . Comments
Halloween may have been yesterday, but that won't stop us from sharing a good ghost story today.
Security cameras at the Plaza Resort and Spa in Daytona Beach caught a mysterious apparition behind the bar. Do ghosts take their martinis shaken or stirred?
This historic hotel along Florida's A1A is over 100 years old, and some employees believe that it's possible that some guests checked in and their spirits never checked out.
Employees like security officer Chris Lenkiewicz have reported strange goings-on in throughout the hotel. Phenonmena like doors that hold themselves closed despite being unlocked, cold zones commonly associated with the presence of the paranormal, or the fog-like figure seen moving through the bar on their security footage.
"It wasn't dust. It wasn't a flashlight. There was nobody on property causing stuff to happen to mess with other employees," Lenkiewicz said.
Was it the ghost from room 1111, where a man fell from the balcony to his death? Maybe it was.
A paranormal investigator will be staying at the hotel later this month to find out.
What do you say, readers? Is this a ghost, or is someone playing tricks on the employees at the Plaza Resort and Spa?
I believe in spirits but this only looks like an insect crawling on the camera screen.
fake like most americans.
Hello my non-American real friend. If you no likey the Americans why are you watching ghost video on a tabloid site? You love Americans, don't be silly my friend Abe. Ali
I believe in spirits that are not at peace.....I myself am one. I am but a soul with a body....Happy belated Halloween everyone!

My family and I live outside of Washington DC during the winter months. My husband and I have a 25-year-old son who graduated from Randolph-Macon College and now works for NPR. I was raised in Baltimore, graduated from The Bryn Mawr School and Hollins University in VA where I spent my junior year studying in Paris. My husband is from Washington State, graduated from George Washington University with a degree in journalism and we met when we both worked for The National Geographic Society. I grew up summering in Maine at our family's lakeside cottage - Kill Kare Kamp - which we now offer for weekly summer rentals from mid-June to mid-September.
My mother started a girls' summer camp (Camp Four Winds) in 1946 on property adjacent to Kill Kare where I - and thousands of other girls from the US and abroad - spent blissful summers over the course of 50 plus years. There, we learned camping skills that have benefited us throughout our lives as well as the poise, self-confidence and leadership abilities that are so essential to young women in today's world.
In 2008, we turned our family home into an inviting and comfortable retreat for families to enjoy. While we rent Kill Kare, our family spends the summer up the hill in our carriage house apartment called Chinook. We're hands-on hosts (without being intruding) and are happy to help guests take full advantage of their Down East experience. We greatly enjoy meeting all of our guests and have had the pleasure of making many new friends over the course of the six years we've been sharing our home with others.
Come join us. We look forward to welcoming you. We hope that you will enjoy the same sense of peace and serenity that Kill Kare has offered our family for over nine decades.
Here is my property:
