Best Circus Experiences In Charlotte
Circus entertainment grew out of trick-riding equestrian shows in England during the second half of the eighteenth century. Horses were the real stars of these shows! Then came acrobatic clowns on horseback, performing daring flips, balancing tricks and pantomime. America's love with the old-time circus began in the 1820s. The traveling tent circus, an American innovation, was created by a New York entrepreneur. A menagerie of animals, enthralling all ages, accompanied the big-top shows. Performing arts dating back to ancient Egypt and China, such as juggling, were added to the evolution of this American institution. Two rings were expanded to ten, electrifying aerial shows and rope walkers made it the nation's top drawing entertainment!

The labeling theory of juvenile delinquency deals with the effects of labels, or stigmas, on juvenile behavior. Labeling theory holds that society, by placing labels on juvenile delinquents, stigmatizes them, leading to a negative label for a youth to develop into a negative self-image. A court of law, some other agency, a youth's family and supervisors, and/or the youth's peers give a name - or a "label" - to the youth, often in "degradation ceremonies" (1). These ceremonies may be a suspension hearing with the principal or dean of a school, a court trial, or a home punishment, among others.
Youths who are labeled as "criminals" or "delinquents" may hold these as self-fulfilling prophecies - believing the labels that others assign to them, thereby acting as the labels. A youth who succumbs to a label may then proceed to act as a "criminal" or act as a "delinquent," abandoning social norms because he or she believes that he or she is a bad person and that this is what bad people are supposed to do. Frank Tannenbaum called this social labeling the "dramatization of evil." He argues that this "transforms the offender's identity from a doer of evil to an evil person." Labels can be applied formally, by social institutions (courts, schools, etc.) or informally, by a youth's acquaintances, peers, and families. These labels can be positive, or negative, and even socializing, but stigma that hold negative connotations and may negatively effect the juvenile are the main concern of labeling theory (1).
Self-rejection, by self-fulfilling prophecy, plays a role in social labeling theory. "Self-rejecting attitudes result in both a weakened commitment to conventional values and the acquisition of motives to deviate from social norms" (1). A sense of anomie (normlessness) sets in and the juvenile will form bonds with like-minded, delinquent, peers. These delinquent peers can lead to the juvenile's "'rejection of rejectors.' Teachers are stupid;' cops are dishonest;' parents just don't understand.'" These troubled youths become distanced from society and find themselves in deviant lifestyles (1). Basically, social labeling theory holds that juveniles begin believing they are people who do bad things and are transformed into believing they are bad people.
The primary question that needs to be addressed is whether labeling theory makes sense: does it have logical consistency? The theory argues that there is a self-fulfilling prophecy in which a juvenile becomes negatively labeled and subsequently lives up to that negative label. At first look, this makes sense; a negative label cannot conceivably be seen as positive (at least by society; a delinquent may view their negative behavior as positive) and could be seen as detrimental to a youth's confidence, self-respect, and self-esteem (2). However, what of delinquents whose primary problem is a disrespect or distrust of authority; why would an adolescent who does not listen to what his or her elders say all of a sudden believe them when they label him or her as a delinquent, a criminal, a bad person, etc. Overall, social labeling theory is logical, but it is not flawless; there are going to be a number of exceptions to the rule.
The next analysis that must be conducted resides in scope and parsimony: this deals with the complexity of the theory. Social labeling theory is a pretty straight-forward concepta juvenile is stigmatized and they have a self-fulfilling prophecy of this label. It does not really look into specific behaviors or reactions, focusing on the overall populationthis may be its greatest flaw. Labeling theory would likely be much more widely accepted as a strong theory if it focused more on degree of stigmatizing. Currently, many studies of labeling theory view it as "flawed and inconclusive" (3).
The third criteria for evaluating theory is testability: can the theory be tested; does it involve tautology or circular reasoning? Labeling theory is quite testable. For example, one could track juveniles who commit delinquent crimes by those who become labeled by the system and those who are not labeled. If those who are labeled commit more future crime or display other negative qualities than those who are not labeled, this would provide support for labeling theory's validity. There was a study done on prison inmates reactions to disciplinary activity based on stigma. Over the period of a year, the results indicated that there was virtually no difference in the subsequent behavior between the control groups and the experimental groups (4). There does appear to be an existence of tautology. Logically, those juveniles who commit the most serious of acts would receive the most negative of stigmas; likewise, those who commit the lesser, more forgivable acts, will likely be given a second chance by society and their families.
The next criteria to evaluate social labeling theory which needs to be examined is its empirical validity. The previously addressed study of prison inmates did not provide any support to the legitimacy of labeling theory; if anything, it gave evidence to labeling theory's opponents. However, in another study conducted among students, formal and informal labels were tested for validity. It concluded that a juvenile's teachers are possibly the most "important sources of negative labeling." The study also pointed to peer-labeling as a significant predictor of serious delinquency. It showed that family-labeling did not hold much significance. These results do not account for other factors, however. The individuals involved in the experiment may very well be affected by the logistics of other theories (for example, the forces of strain theory, social learning theory, and/or social control theory could be at work). Additionally, unlike the study on inmates, this basically focused on youths who had not yet committed serious crime, and their labels were, for the most part, informal (5).
Finally, the usefulness and policy implications of labeling theory need to be explored. "Labeling theory may help explain why some youths continue down the path of anti-social behaviors (they are labeled), whereas most are able to desist from a crime (they are stigma-free)" (1). While the results may be divided, because there is even a marginal implication, the question of whether or not applying negative stigmas to juveniles effects their behavior needs to be addressed in policy-making. If any, or at least a decent amount of evidence, points toward the negative implications of stigmas, it would be wise to force institutions to avoid them altogether, or to at least keep them at bay unless absolutely necessary.
Overall, labeling theory appears to be a shaky and marginally supported theory at best. There are some studies that hold that stigmatizing labels generally feed a self-fulfilling prophecy to juveniles, supporting social labeling theory. On the other hand, there are a number of studies and research evidence that says that stigmatizing labels have no effect on juveniles' behavior; some, although very few, even hold that stigmatizing labels actually reduce delinquent acts. It is a "right and wrong" theory. Social labeling theory really deals with how "society reacts to individuals" and how "individuals react to society." There lies the problemit is too broad of a concept. Some juveniles are stigmatized by their teachers, or stigmatized by law enforcement (formal labels), but are positively reinforced by their parents and family. Others are stigmatized by their parents and/or their family (informal labels), yet are positively reinforced by their teachers or other official institutions (1). If proponents of social labeling theory can devise a way to account for individual distinctiveness, they can give the theory more respectability and make it more acceptable. As of now, social labeling theory is an unstable and unsound theory, with little credibility.

Chicago's Chief Keef cannot steer clear from bad press as of late, now getting featured in an ABC News "Hidden America: Don't Shot I Want To Grow Up" special on violence.
In the special, attention is placed on gang violence and, specifically, Keef's possible connection to music rival Lil Jojo's recent slaying.
The 17-year-old controversial rapper from Chicago's South side, who spits beats about a murderous thug life, has had his career explode in the past year. His Youtube videos and an endorsement from 50 Cent helped catapult him to rap stardom. Keef now reportedly has a $3 million record deal with Interscope Records. Another South Side teen rapper looking for his big break was Joseph "Lil Jojo" Coleman. The 18-year-old aspiring rapper allegedly tried to start an online feud with Keef. Jojo's first rap, "3HunnaK," was reportedly a diss at Keef. It remixed Keef's hit song, "3Hunna" — 300 is a reference to the street gang, Black Disciples — while it promoted BDK, which stands for Black Disciple Killers. The "K" in "3HunnaK" also stands for "killer." (ABC News)
The feature also pointed out Keef's reaction to Jojo's fatal shooting.
Jojo's video shows the young rapper and others pointing handguns at the camera, holding a stack of cash and having an array of bullets on a table. The video has over 400,000 views on Youtube. On Sept. 4, Jojo was shot and killed in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood while riding on the back of a friend's bicycle after tweeting his location. Shortly after he was gunned down, a tweet from Keef's account said, "Its Sad Cuz Dat N—- Jojo Wanted to Be Jus Like Us #LMAO," the online slang for "laughing my a– off." The mocking tweet sparked wide outrage online, even from Keef's 275,000 followers. Keef followed up with a series of apologetic tweets, saying he had nothing to do with Jojo's killing and his account had been hacked. "I didn't know him but he young jus like me. i can assure everyone that i had nothin 2 do with this tragedy tho. my twitter acct was hacked," Keef tweeted on Sept. 5. (ABC News)
To add insult to injury, Keef could be going back to jail in the near future over a reported probation violation.
With the 17-year-old rapper listening, Cook County prosecutors outlined why they think the Interscope Records artist should be returned to juvenile detention. The rapper, whose real name is Keith Cozart, is serving 18 months of probation for pointing a gun at a Chicago cop. He was also found delinquent on two other felonies. Prosecutors argued he violated the probation by having a gun in a video posted online. They pointed to a recorded media interview the rapper did in June at a gun range in New York, where he can be seen with a gun. That's a probation violation, prosecutors argued, because his probation bans him from having any guns or illegal drugs or associating with gang members. (Sun Times)
Rather than make an immediate decision, a judge scheduled another court hearing.
Cook County prosecutors say that because Keef can be seen with a gun in the Pitchfork video, he is violating probation conditions that prohibit him from having any firearms or illegal drugs or associating with gang members. Prosecutors also pointed to Keef's failure to earn a GED before a deadline set by his probation, and a September 30th incident when Chicago police found Keef with members of the Black Disciple gang while responding to a call of gang disturbance. Keef has another hearing scheduled for November 20th. (Rolling Stone)

Fort Wayne – Mary Willems-Akers enjoys running and eating local foods. One day while running, the mother of two teenage boys passed a neighbor's property with a yellow transparent apple tree and noticed many of the apples lying on the ground.
I stopped and left a note with my phone number, she says. He called and said, Sure. I've got peach trees, too.' He wanted a jar of the applesauce I made from his apples.
Willems-Akers, a social worker with Visiting Nurse and Hospice Home Inc., likes to can the bounty she gets from her two 6-by-4 garden beds, at her Fort Wayne home. One of her favorite canning books is Food in Jars: Preserving in Small Batches Year-Round by Marisa McClellan. She and her husband, Andy Akers, also have a community-supported agriculture share in Roanoke.
After seeing a food swap in Indianapolis, Willems-Akers became involved the Northeast Indiana Food Swap and is now the coordinator.
People take food that they've made, grown or forged. You have to register in advance. Then get a name tag, a bid sheet and a table. It's a mix between a cookie swap and a silent auction. No money is involved. In theory, it's about an hour.
Some have taken dry mixes, jams, tea mixes. A friend took honeycomb lavender brittle. Fresh fruits and vegetables that are (either) homegrown or canned – even vanilla extract. All are homemade, she says.
The food swap planned for Aug. 18 will be at Wunderkammer Co., 3402 Fairfield Ave. Anyone interested in registering for upcoming food swaps may go to facebook.com/neifoodswap. She's already planned one for October.
Willems-Akers says a food swap in this area draws about 35 people. As of Monday, 29 had signed up.
I had one in Huntington. We only had a couple of swappers. We all had so much fun. My sister made mayonnaise and peanut butter for the first time. I was so proud of her. She was doing things in her kitchen she would not normally do. I think people that make and share their food is a success in itself. It's another way to build community, she says.
Small Batch Strawberry Vanilla Jam
1 quart strawberries, 1 1/2 pounds or about 4 cups chopped berries
2 cups sugar, divided
2 vanilla beans, split and scraped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Wash and chop berries. Toss them with 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla beans/seeds and place in a large jar or bowl. Allow the berries to macerate for at least 2 to 3 hours and up to 72 hours. When ready to make jam, prepare three half-pint jars. Pour macerated strawberries into a large pot and add the remaining cup of sugar. Bring to a boil and cook until the jam reaches 220 degrees, stirring regularly. Add the lemon zest and juice in the final 5 minutes of cooking. When the jam has reached 220 degrees, remove the pan from the heat. Pour jam into prepared jars. Wipe rims, apply lids and rings and process in canner for 10 minutes. When time is up, remove jars from canner and let them cool on a towel-lined counter top. When jars are cool enough to handle, remove rings and check seals. If jars are not sealed, store them in the refrigerator and use them first. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Makes 3 half-pint jars.
Tomato Jam
5 pounds tomatoes, finely chopped
3 1/2 cups sugar
8 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon red chili flakes
Combine all ingredients in a large, non-reactive pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce temperature to a simmer. Stirring regularly, simmer the jam until it reduces to a sticky, jammy mess. This will take between 1 and 1 1/2 hours, depending on how high you keep your heat. When the jam has cooked down sufficiently, remove from heat and fill jars, leaving 1/4 -inch of head space. Wipe rims, apply lids and twist on rings. Process in a boiling water canner for 20 minutes. When time is up, remove jars from water bath and allow them to cool. When jars are cool enough to handle, test seals. Store jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Makes 2 to 4 half-pint jars depending on size of tomatoes and how far the jam reduces.

Let me say right up front, Jacques Pepin is a legend. Period. He is also the classiest man to ever polish a copper pot: full of grace, empathy, passion and knowledge.
We are starting out as we start most episodes these days, with Nicholas taking the piss out of Carlos. This time it's an accusation that Carlos has been just cooking Mexican food the whole time. Yeah, Mexican food is kind of limitless Nicholas. Open your eyes. And Carlos is Mexican. His restaurant is called Mexique. He's going to probably cook stuff with a kinship to that, while you cook your "modern American influenced by France."
Pepin is standing like the icon in an apron that he is. Padma introduces him and the challenge: Jacques will demonstrate his famous Dover Sole with Artichokes and Asparagus and then the chefs will recreate.
The dish is a beautiful ode to France from the cold water Normandy fish to the flavors of Provence with the tomatoes and artichoke. It is a dish that everyone should be able to cook because it has place, meaning, and the core techniques that are so important to all food. The basics are that the vegetables need to be prepped, a buttery nage needs to be made to be the enrobing sauce, the fish needs to be butchered and pinwheeled, and then the dish needs to be finished. . .Easy as pie. . .well not really.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Wichita, Kan. --- The campaign in the Fourth District Congressional Republican race is as hot as the weather.
Incumbent Rep. Mike Pompeo's camp is now accusing challenger Todd Tiahrt of profiting from congressional earmarks he made while in office.
Tiahrt is firing back telling KAKE news, "It's a false charge made by a desperate candidate who's trying to cover up his crony capitalism. Mr. Pompeo's GMO bill punishes the competitors that give him money. It's a classic example of 'crony capitalism.' The chemical companies get protected by the prohibition of labeling GMO's and then the 2nd part of his bill, title 2, punishes their competitors, the natural food producers and natural food stores. So he's trying to cover up his crony capitalism by trying to distract something I did for the local community."
Congressman Pompeo's campaign accuses Tiahrt of a lucrative Colorado earmark payout.
Congressional earmarks are defined as federal expenditures to the recipients through appropriations. Congress banned them in 2010.
Then Congressman Tiahrt secured an earmark, a $500,000 contract, for direct energy solutions in the 2006 defense appropriations bill.
Colorado businessman David Neuman was CEO of D.E.S. as well as Neumann Systems Group.
Campaign finance records show Neuman as a regular contributor to Tiahrt's campaigns while the Goddard Republican was in congress.
Records show Neumann remains a contributor to Tiahrt's current effort to unseat Pompeo.
Tiahrt defends the earmark saying it was tied to then Boeing-Wichita work on the Airborne Laser Program.
Tiahrt says, "In referring to something I did for the "Airborne Laser Program" where we tried to develop the next generation laser. The company in Colorado bid on that work and won it from the Air Force. So it wasn't something that I directly did. It was an agreed priority of research and development funds for the next generation laser program which is a Wichita program."
Tiahrt gave up his House seat to run for Senate but lost. In January of last year he was hired as Chief Executive of Neumann Systems Group and according to Pompeo's campaign was paid $380,000.
Tiahrt says, "What I did was run a company called Neuman System's Group which did energy pollution controls, totally different concept. And it was based on my skills as a CEO." "And if you talk to the owner you'll find out that I turned the company around and actually saved the company."
The primary vote is August 5th.

click above image for more pics of the 2009 Subaru Forester
Though the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) 2009 Subaru Forester was revealed on Christmas Day, Subaru waited until today to reveal the US-spec version of its car-like CUV. We all know the shape of things to come for the Forester thanks to numerous leaks and spied test vehicles that popped up throughout the month of December, but Subaru reveals today that US customers will have their choice of naturally-aspirated and turbocharged versions of the same 2.5L boxer four-cylinder engines offered before, though they've been worked over for more low-end torque. While no power figures have been released, we expect both motors to be virtually identical to those used in the Impreza, which means around 170 hp and 224 hp, respectively. It appears the same trim levels will be offered, which include the base 2.5X, Sports 2.5X, 2.5X L.L. Bean Edition paired with the NA engine and the 2.5XT, Sports 2.5XT and 2.5XT Limited offered with the turbo. New features for the 2009 US-spec Forester include available satellite navigation, standard Vehicle Dynamics Control and traction control, and Incline Start Assist on models with the manual transmission. We'll get detailed information on Subaru's decidedly more butch little CUV at the Detroit Auto Show in January, but until then you can check out the US-spec 2009 Forester in our gallery below and read Subaru's press release after the jump.

- All-New Design with Improved Comfort, Space and Utility
- All-New Platform With Sport-Sedan Dynamics
- Standard Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
CHERRY HILL, N.J -- Subaru of America, Inc. today released the first official photos of the all-new, third-generation 2009 Forester, a total re-design of the award-winning crossover utility vehicle (CUV) that will debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit in January. The 2009 Forester, which arrives in Subaru dealerships this spring, builds upon its predecessor's reputation as an icon of safety, dependability and versatility. The new-generation 2009 model projects a bolder, more SUV-like design and making a major leap in safety technology, comfort, refinement and driving dynamics.
As with all Subaru models, the 2009 Forester comes equipped as standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. An all-new platform featuring a 3.6-inch longer wheelbase (now 103.0 inches) and double-wishbone rear suspension improves crash-worthiness and at the same time provides crisper handling, a quieter ride and increased interior space and cargo room. The 2009 Forester once again blends positive SUV attributes including a high seating point and interior versatility with passenger car comfort, handling and fuel efficiency.
All Forester models for 2009 feature standard side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, and the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) stability and traction control system is standard on all models for the first time. With the Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept (Subaru DC3), Subaru optimized all elements of the Forester's chassis to deliver a better balance of ride, handling response, quietness and overall traction performance than offered by competitive vehicles. A comprehensive array of elements contributes to that goal, including the new, high-strength body structure, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, VDC and four-wheel disc ABS brakes with the Brake Assist safety system.
Manual-transmission models also feature Incline Start Assist, which can momentarily prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when being driven away from a stop on an incline.
Even with its bolder exterior and roomier interior, the new 2009 Forester is only about three inches longer than its predecessor, thus retaining the trim exterior packaging cited by Forester owners as one of this model's most essential features. A robust body structure, heavy-duty raised four-wheel independent suspension system and up to 8.9 inches of ground clearance help make Forester equally adept at negotiating twisty roads and absorbing ruts and bumps.
The 2009 Forester offers naturally aspirated and turbocharged/intercooled 2.5-liter Boxer engines, both revised to provide better low-end and mid-range torque for more responsive everyday performance. New interior materials, including double-stitched fabrics and high-grade plastics, impart a feeling of higher quality. As before, Forester is offered in a wide array of models, with the 2009 Forester 2.5 X offering one of the best values in the crossover SUV segment and the range-topping Forester L.L.Bean Edition offering more luxury without compromising the vehicle's sporty nature.
The 2009 Forester offers a navigation system for the first time as well as advanced audio system upgrade options. The 2009 Forester comes pre-wired for XM® or SIRIUS® Satellite Radio. An auxiliary audio input jack enables connection of an iPod® or MP3 player.

For Immediate Release
San Francisco, California – April 1, 2014 (Burning Man) – The Burning Man Project today announced the music lineup for the 2014 Burning Man festival.
"We're very excited about this year's music lineup." said Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Burning Man's musical talent coordinator. "2014 is one of the most ambitious lineups in our history, and puts Burning Man squarely in the ranks of other popular Summer music festivals such as Coachella, Bonaroo, Glastonbury and the US Festival."
The Burning Man festival will showcase five concert venues of varying sizes spread throughout the event. Two venues will be reserved for smaller performances, two for medium sized performances, and one main venue will be placed just outside the man at the six o'clock road. "We expect the Denial and Anger stages to be more intimate, and have located those within the city close to the three o'clock and nine o'clock plazas. The Bargaining and Depression stages will be located on the open playa near the two o'clock road and the ten o'clock road."
Kübler-Ross notes that the main venue, the Acceptance stage, is large enough to support a full production truss, with professional lighting and sound. "The audience grandstands will face the Man," said Kübler-Ross. "We plan to disassemble the Acceptance stage itself after the Friday night performance to make room for the crowds to gather for the main burn." Kübler-Ross also noted that the grandstands themselves would stay in place and serve as VIP seating for the burning of the man.
"Our five stages have something for everyone," said Kübler-Ross. "We expect that, as people attend the festival for the week they'll gradually move through all the stages before finally attending the last performance on the Acceptance stage Friday night. It is a very natural progression. We understand that some people may prefer to stay at a particular stage longer, but expect everyone to experience all five stages before the end." (more…)

Volleyball Falls In Final Matches of Golden Flashes Classic
Three Bearcats register double-digit kills; Vickers named to all-tournament team
September 21, 2013Tweet
Contact: Terrence Lollie (firstname.lastname@example.com)
KENT, Ohio – In its final match at the Golden Flashes Classic the Binghamton volleyball team fell to Eastern Illinois in four sets, Saturday afternoon at the MAC Center. The Bearcats (2-11) captured the first set 25-23, but dropped the next three 25-16, 25-18, and 25-20 to the Panthers, who improved to 6-7 on the season. The Bearcats were defeated in all three matches during the two-day tournament.
"We fought hard throughout the match," head coach Glenn Kiriyama said. "We played a lot better and started to find a rhythm out there. Our defense was much better and Xiomara did a good job of getting us where we needed to be. Grace was hard to stop and she helped our offense get jump-started. Now we begin to focus on league play next weekend."
Binghamton registered three players with double-digit kills led by senior captain Grace Vickers' 13. Sisters Kristin and Allison Hovie each recorded 10 terminations while combining for 13 digs. Junior setter Amanda Dettmann handed out 42 assists and senior libero Xiomara Ortiz tallied a match-high 19 digs. Sophomore Megan Burgess had a solid outing with 9 kills and 6 digs to go along with a .368 hitting clip.
In the first-ever meeting between the two programs, Eastern Illinois took the early advantage following a 6-1 run, that gave the Panthers a 12-7 lead. Binghamton began to chip away at the five-point deficit as a pair of kills from Vickers and Kristin Hovie kept the Bearcats within reach. Down 20-15, Binghamton found its offense going on a 5-0 run ignited by kills from Dettmann, Burgess and Kristin Hovie, to level the frame at 20. The Panthers scored the next two points, but the Bearcats closed the set on a 5-0 run sparked by two Burgess terminations and capped with a fourth Kristin Hovie kill. Binghamton hit a match-high .273 during the frame while recording 19 kills to take the first set 25-23.
Following Eastern Illinois' 25-16 second-set victory to even the match at one game apiece, Binghamton continued to battle in the third after falling behind 13-7. A 4-0 Burgess service-run helped the Bearcats slice the Panthers' lead to just one, 14-13. However, that was as close as Binghamton would get, as Eastern Illinois held the Bearcats to a .088 hitting clip. The Panthers hit over 40 percent for the second straight set and committed just three attack errors to capture the third frame 25-18.
Binghamton raced out to a 7-2 lead in the fourth set thanks to four kills from Vickers. However, Eastern Illinois countered with a devastating 10-1 run to take a 12-8 lead midway through the frame. Binghamton kept fighting as a kill by Burgess brought the Bearcats within two. The Panthers stretched their lead back to four, but an Allison Hovie kill again pulled the Bearcats within two. Eastern Illinois went on to score four of the next five points however, completing the four-set victory 25-20.
Binghamton was out hit .331-.187, while Eastern Illinois displayed its prowess at the net with 11 blocks. The Bearcats compiled four total blocks led by Shannon Kirkpatrick's three block assists.
Kiriyama, who has a connection with Easter Illinois, spent the four years prior to arriving at Binghamton as the top assistant for the Panthers.
The Bearcats will have a week to prepare for their America East opener at Albany on Sunday, Sept. 29 at 5 p.m. from University Gym. The meeting between the two will be a rematch of the 2012 title game.
KENT, Ohio – The Binghamton volleyball team fell to Illinois-Chicago in straight sets at the Golden Flashes Classic, Saturday morning from the MAC Center. The Bearcats (2-10) were defeated 25-22, 25-19, and 25-15 in their second match of the two-day tournament. Illinois-Chicago (5-8) now holds a 2-0 lead in the all-time series between the two schools.
Senior captain Grace Vickers led the Bearcats with nine kills and a .500 hitting clip. Freshman Allison Hovie added eight kills and four digs. Junior Amanda Dettmann dished out 30 assists, while contributing six digs. Senior libero Xiomara Ortiz recorded a team-high 17 digs.
Binghamton started strong in a back-and-forth first set that witnessed eight ties and three lead changes. With the frame even at 13, a pair of Binghamton miscues gave Illinois-Chicago some breathing room. Kills by Vickers and Dettmann kept the Bearcats within striking distance, but five blocks by the Flames maintained their cushion. Following terminations by Shannon Kirkpatrick and Allison Hovie, Binghamton cut the deficit to one, 22-21, forcing an Illinois-Chicago timeout. However, the Flames took three of the final four points to capture the opening frame 25-22. Nine attack errors by the Bearcats aided the Flames 1-0 advantage.
Following five ties early in the set, a Kristin Hovie kill handed Binghamton a 6-5 lead. The Bearcats continued to press the Flames as a block by Kirkpatrick and Megan Burgess helped Binghamton open a 9-6 advantage. However, Illinois-Chicago countered with a 6-3 run to take its first lead of the set. An Allison Hovie kill kept the advantage at one, 17-16, but a 4-1 run by the Flames pushed the lead to four. Vickers attempted to keep Binghamton in the set with a solo block and a kill, but it wasn't enough as Illinois-Chicago went up 2-0 with a 25-19 second-set victory. Binghamton tallied 10 attack errors in the second set.
In the third set, Illinois-Chicago carried its momentum from the first two sets going on a 6-0 run following an Allison Hovie kill that leveled the set at four. A Burgess kill brought Binghamton within four, but the Flames continued to press the Bearcats with a 6-1 run to open an 18-9 advantage. Binghamton limited its attack errors in the third set hitting a match-best .182, but dropped the frame 25-15. Allison Hovie registered four kills in the frame for Binghamton.
Binghamton registered four more attack attempts (98-94), but its 22 errors hindered the extra scoring opportunities. The Bearcats were out hit .298-.122, but the Illinois-Chicago defense was stout tallying nine total blocks compared to Binghamton's five. The backline was more consistent for the Bearcats, leading the dig battle 41-35.

- waitress had EXCELLENT SERVICE!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/24/2014Our waitress was wonderful!!! FOOD WAS EXCELLENT!!! and drinks were perfect, not watered down.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- first seating menu isn't as good as beforeOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/21/2014But it's still a decent value & the ambiance was great early. The later in the evening the octaves go up. I don't like it when it's crowded. Too noisy then.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently ExcellentAKBikerDined on 11/18/2014The food is consistently excellent along with the service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone for any occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special EveningColleenDined on 11/16/2014We made a reservation online and in the "special request" box mentioned that it was our anniversary. Our table was strewn with fresh rose petals--a very nice touch. At the end of our meal, we were offered two dessert choices for free. We chose to eat a different dessert, but the waiter offered to put one of the free desserts in a box for us to take home, which was very nice. The food was excellent, the waiter was appropriately attentive, and there was no obnoxious music or other distractions. Unfortunately, the cost of the meal does mean that this is a special-occasion-only restaurant for us (there are few entrees in the $20 range and none below that), but it was a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- brunchKD1977Dined on 11/9/2014I come at least 3 times a month I Love the brunch menu ,everything is great I wouldn't change a thingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meal timelinessTTMTVIPDined on 11/8/2014It was very slow getting our food during this visit. The waitress never did offer us their typical bread and butter before dinner. Our food was very tasty tho.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday dinnerLuraLouCDined on 11/7/2014Overall, we had a decent time. The food was good and our server was nice, but it was my birthday and all I got was a few pieces on confetti on the table. I left let down because anywhere else you would get a small dessert and candle or something to that affect. Maybe they could start doing this. It'd be a nice touch.Special Features:
- Showing some wear and tearRubyMtnGeoDined on 11/6/2014S&S remains a very decent place but is showing some signs of age. Not that it detracts from the food, but you cannot help noticing the frayed upholstery and scarred woodwork.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good as alwayslakesidegalVIPDined on 11/5/2014Business dinner with coworkers. The food was wonderful as always, service was great. Stuffed Halibut was to die for.Special Features:
- Always GreatRobertoDined on 11/2/2014I have been patronizing Simon and Seafort's for more than thirty years. Always, great and one of Anchorage's best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/1/2014On this night, although the server was friendly and nice, we waited a long time for everything. The best service was the young man pouring the water! It was noisy, but we expected that.Special Features:
- Excellence ExperienceMondoDined on 10/31/2014A group of us went here to celebrate my wife's birthday an was no disappointed. We had reservations and were quickly seated a window table with a nice view. The server was very personable and providing us with quick and courteous service. The food was excellent, especially the prime rib which several of us ordered and was prepared perfectly. Yes it is a little pricey but still a great location for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My worst dining experience hereRaider66Dined on 10/29/2014I have eaten at this restaurant many times and have previously enjoyed it. Not this time. The salad was just a bunch of bitter lettuce, an old time dinner salad would have been much better. I had the crab stuffed halibut which I've had before and enjoyed. Not this time. The halibut was tiny and there was not a scrap of crab.Special Features:
- don't get the hypeAKhockeymomDined on 10/27/2014We've been in anchorage for 5 years and just visited this restaurant for the first time. Everyone raved about it so we thought it was time to try it out. The food was ok, at best. My burger was grossly overcooked when I asked for medium. The prices were ridiculous for the portion sizes. I just don't get the hype. There are plenty of other nice restaurants in town I would pick over going back here.Special Features:
- Great View...Food OKktdoneDined on 10/26/2014Great Views...the past trip my food better than previous visits. If it wasn't for the view, for the price there are other nearby restaurants that are higher quality for the price.Special Features:
- Great Suggestions from our waiter.darlaDined on 10/26/2014Robbie our Waiter suggested the Halibut cheeks. They were great. I wouldn't have tried them if it had not been for Robbie's description of them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hosting a GuestAWSGDined on 10/25/2014There were 11 of us in our party. We brought an instructor from Illinois in for dinner after a long day of teaching a learning. The service was outstanding and all of our orders were perfect. It was a wonderful evening - always like coming to Simon and Seaforts!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/24/2014Our waitress was awesome and helped make our anniversary very special. What a great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reliably goodJohnDined on 10/24/2014Consistently good. One of best places to eat in Anchorage. I can't say that I have ever been disappointed here but I have elsewhere. I was not wild about the bread pudding desert but the macadamia nut and crab filled halibut was a fine meal. Very good chardonnay as well. It is hard to beat Simon and S.Special Features:
- Always consistently perfect!DiningqueenDined on 10/23/2014A rare treat. Always fresh food, great service and beautiful setting.Special Features:
- Not sure what happened...MooshieDined on 10/22/2014Placed our order rather quickly, and then waited over an hour for our dinners to arrive. This was an unusual experience at this restaurant. It's never happened before, but this time they really dropped the ball. I can only think that something went wrong (lost order?) - but no apologies. We would have ordered desert, but were too afraid of how long it might take... I would usually give this restaurant a very high rating, but that night, it was just mediocre.Special Features:
- Kyle was Great!GeosoccerbumDined on 10/20/2014Kyle (our server) was great. He did not give us the feeling of being hovered over and he paid attention to our needs.Special Features:
- Awesome TimeBirthdayDined on 10/17/2014Not only did we have a great time with our excellent meal... our server Rob Knic was awesome! He knew the menu, specials and even some history about Simons. Rob made the night for the 4 of us alot of fun!Special Features:
- Wonderful Downtown RestaurantlovesgoodfoodDined on 10/17/2014Never disappointed. Food is always delicious, and the service is great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fabulousDined on 10/16/2014Jennifer did an outstanding job for our group o 10. She was positive and very timely to get our drinks, appitizers, and main course. She checked with us periodocally to see if we had other needs.Special Features:
- Great food, service and view!CBERNETDined on 10/14/2014Simons has always been a favorite restaurant of mine. Whether it be just stopping by for a quick office lunch, grabbing a drink at the bar, to having a romantic dinner with my husband... the food, service and great view is why I love this restaurant so much!!!Special Features:
- Amazing viewsTracyDined on 10/14/2014Very tasty food and a beautiful sunset. I had the delightful herb encrusted Prime Rib. The asparagus was cooked properly and the mashed potatoes were creamy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner at Simon'sTesseractDined on 10/14/2014We just had the most wonderful dinner at Simon's. We caught a stunning sunset across the inlet - all pinks and oranges. Just lovely! My companion had the 1/2 and 1/2 halibut cheecks and crab stuffed macadamia halibut. She thought it was delicious. I went with my perennial favorite, the chicken dijon. One of the beauties of Simon's is that for the last 25 years, it's kept some of the most popular recipes as they always have been so you always know you're not wasting your money. I highly recommend the teriyaki tenderloins appetizer but beware - if you can't eat hot items, avoid the pineapples. For dessert, I had the creme brulee from the only restaurant in Anchorage that actually knows how to make it. Thanks for a lovely dinner!Special Features:
- Good food but too loudJewelsVerneMeiDined on 10/11/2014Visited on a Saturday evening, which is always a busy night. However, the noise level was so overwhelmingly loud that no one at our table could make themselves heard across the table without almost shouting. And, my husband's Seafood Fettucini Alfredo had pasta that was undercooked, almost non-existent seafood in it, and a pittance of sauce - definitely not enough to cover all the noodles adequately. Denise, our server was outstanding in the service department - very pleasant, efficient, and always there when we needed something. We keep trying to go back to Simon & Seafort's in the hope that things get better, but we continue to be disappointed by the food and ambiance problems each time we go. This was not an outstanding night out.
- Maybe our last visit to S/S.IvanDined on 10/4/2014We are in Alaska 42 years. Started giong to S/S since opening. Our last visit for diner - awfully bad steakes - not tender at all. Prime rib (medium) thin tough an hard - returned and replaced with fillet mignon (medium). Again, not tender, tough and hard, oversmoked as well as mushrooms on steak and not edible with somebody with dentures. Even people sitting next table who vitnessed our situation told me while leaving that their lobster dinner was not as advertized. We are (vere) visiting this place in Anchorage since it opened and food quality is going down. Service excellent. In December for our 50th aniversary it will not be Simon/Seford. Ivan and Anna Bucinsky.Special Features:
- AmazingakjlsDined on 10/3/2014Our Server Ryan, was incredible. We had the best service and amazing food. Definitely, will return on our next trip through.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for a business lunchNickDined on 10/3/2014Three of us had a good meeting here over lunch. Very pleasant surroundings, great food, excellent service. It made the meeting far better than crowded over coffee somewhere, or (gasp) in a tight office.Special Features:
- Always Great FoodalaskareedDined on 10/2/2014Food and service always the best! We enjoy the foodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Adequate food and serviceTravelerDined on 10/1/2014The view is spectacular. The food and service was merely adequate. I arrived early evening and was directed to a seat with a spectacular view of the inlet. Although it was early evening and the restaurant was not crowded, service was merely adequate. I found the food to be adequate yet pricey. I located this restaurant by searching for Anchorage's best seafood. Next time, I will rely on the suggestions of locals.Special Features:
- Kitchen prepYummyDined on 10/1/2014Business dinner visitor to Alaska crab legs not scored or split She had no idea how to eat Good thing we know each other so I could use my fork to split the legs and help serve this very expensive entree. Waiter inquired and I asked he remind the kitchen No wipes or lemon bowl. By the time I left the restaurant my hands were sticky good thing The crab was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!!akmandaDined on 9/30/2014I've lived in Anchorage my entire life and have been frequenting Simon's since I was about 10 years old with my parents and now with friends and loved ones. It is still my favorite place in town. It has beautiful views of the inlet (try to get a window seat, but all seats are good). I've had almost everything on the menu. The Artichoke and Crab Dip on the Appetizer list is my fave! Last time I was there I had the Creole Chicken Fettucine. It was a first for me and it did not disappoint. Their cocktail list is great too (try their Scratch Margarita, Brandy Ice or Long Island Ice Tea) All are phenomenal!!Special Features:
- get the food warmfoodie4sureVIPDined on 9/27/2014i can see where this can be a very good place, pricey, but good. but when you start off by being sat in the back (when 90% have a GREAT view) and then the waiter is more concerned with his party of 16 than your party of 4 (hence most of your food is luke warm) it does't work out to a 5 star ...............for me.Special Features:
- DissapointedFoodieDined on 9/26/2014Our lunch was disappointing. The food was lacking flavor and color on the plate. The salmon was over cooked and also lacked flavor. The service was also not to the standard that's expected at Simons. If you're going to go to enjoy the view, be sure to sit in the bar. And stick with the bar menu. The service there is always excellent and you're never disappointed with the bar items. I say this every time I'm disappointed with the dining room and full dinners. It also took 30 minutes to pay after we got our check because they couldn't find the rewards program information.Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/25/2014Brought mom for 89th birthday dinner. Early dinner but still pretty full with lots of noise, not able to converse much. Her prawns were very good and artistically plated. My New York steak was not tender and under seasoned for my taste. The portabella stuffed mushrooms were great. Good wine at moderate price. Attentive server with pleasing personality. All staff we encountered were solicitous. Couldn't ask for a better view!Special Features:

The Girl of Sandwich or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bread.
That's one very long title. But I think it works. I've been digging the sandwiches lately. Nature's Pride (I keep wanting to call them Nature's Path, but that is a different company that was kind enough to send me goodies!) sent me a bunch of bread the other week and I've been dutifully eating it up. (I say "dutifully" as though it's a chore; it is not! I love this bread.)
I discovered this fantastic lunch sandwich that is filling and probably the most delicious sandwich I have ever eaten. It is so simple and yum:
- whole wheat bun (ideally from Nature's Pride)
- 1 laughing cow spreadable swiss cheese
- tomato slices
- lots of lettuce

hot-dipped galvanized coil,
cold-rolled coil,
steel import tariffs,
Luis Fernando Martinez,
Ana Paula Camargo
SÃO PAULO Brazilian flat steelmaker Cia. Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) expects cold-rolled coil and hot-dipped galvanized coil to be included in a new list of goods that will have temporarily higher import tariffs.
"Domestic ... markets continue to be threatened by Chinese imports," commercial executive director Luis Fernando Martinez said in a conference call with analysts Nov. 1.
The Brazilian government announced in September that it would temporarily raise the import duty on 100 products from several sectors by as much as 25 percent (amm.com, Oct. 2). This includes steel materials such as hot-rolled coil and heavy plate.
"The inclusion (on the new list) would make sense mainly for the galvanized products, as an anti-dumping (duty) has been recently denied," Martinez added.
Brazilian foreign trade secretariat Secex announced in September that its investigation into imports of coated flat steel products has failed to establish any anti-dumping rights.
Martinez noted that price premiumsthe difference between domestic and international pricesfor cold-rolled coil are currently at 7 to 9 percent while premiums for hot-dipped galvanized are at 10 to 12 percent.
Price premiums for hot-rolled coil are set at 2 to 6 percent, and "this difference may disappear or could even be negative with the increase on hot-rolled coil import duties from 14 percent to 25 percent as a result of the Secex existing list," he said.
Moreover, the executive confirmed that CSN raised its flat steel prices by some 3.5 to 5 percent to domestic distributors for deliveries starting Sept. 1, which accounts for 30 percent of the companys total sales volume.
"These increases may contribute to improve the companys revenues in the current quarter," he added.

Updated flooring, tv, bedding. Clean room.
Non smoking room smelled of smoke.
The bed was comfortable
Small room
Front desk staff were very pleasant. Location is just ght.
Room floor was disgustingly filthy. It was a linoleum that looked streaked everywhere so I took a wash cloth and wiped several areas. Each time the wash cloth came up black....in addition the room smelled like urine. I get an outstanding room in Ft Worth for $55 a night (Best Western) so Motel 6 is off my list.
wifi was great great facilities bed was comfy and clean
very close to the interstate so expect noise
Nice big room for the price and very clean and comfortable
Bathtub was a bit stopped up and the sink was hard to operate, corroded I guess. I did tell the staff about it but would think the maids would have noticed and reported it.
The price and location
I booked this room online and requested a non-smoking room. We arrived at midnight extremely tired, got checked in and went to our room. carried our first sleeping, small child into the room and turned around and carried her right out! The smell of cigarette smoke was so bad! There were also 2 ash trays in there.....we went back up to the office and she told us it was non-smoking, but that all of the rooms had ash trays. My charges to my card were reversed and we found another room elsewhere. I am done with EVER booking from a Motel 6!
Comfortable bed,
Pay wifi (2.99/day) no coffee available before 6:30 am
The roomed smelled like smoke although it was labeled a nonsmoking room. In 5 min the shower ran out of hot water.
price staff was nice
lack of ammenities
Cheap price
There is no hot water since we get there till we leave in next day. There is no shampoo. No coffee maker. No breakfast or any meal
Room was nice.
Air Conditioner had a rattle whenever the compressor kicked on which would wake me up. Also there were some very noisy guests.
Definitely liked the cleanliness.
The location made me a little uneasy in that I was concerned about safety. But there were no problems or even a hint of a problem.
Low cost, fairly comfortable. Fairly clean.
No soap, shampoo, etc. provided. Pool right in front of our room was noisy when it was open.
Updated room.
There were ants in the room. The neighbors were very noisy.
Room was very clean and updated. Great value for the price, will be staying again
Smitten by counter help. Excellent competent and conscientious.
Too many smokers, but that's pretty much my opinion anywhere I go. One alive smoker is too many, and five dead ones are not enough (joke...dark humor....joke )
It was cheap.
We asked for a non smoking room but this policy seems not to be enforced. Our room stunk like a smoking bar and got worse throughout the night. It was late and we were tired so we just crashed and left early the next morning. Dead bugs on the floor, curtains hanging loose from the current rod. Don't stay here unles you're desperate.
Have stayed at Motel 6 for 40 years. Now they put lipstick on a pig and called it a remodel and raised the price. They have no breakfast, no ice and now they want to charge for Wi-Fi. Too many places to stay for the same price. I'll never stay with them again.
ac was cold, tv was nice
ac was noisy, bathroom hardware was in need of repair
no wifi free
It Was quiet and reasonably nice and appeared to be clean with two exceptions.
I found ample evidence of insect activity on the floor under the head of the bed while inspecting fort bed bugs though i found no evidence of bedbugs. Also I found one small black curly hair between the sheets. that really grossed me out.
Motel 6 is always available, if you need a room for one night in a town you don't know, and you will not have time to hunt around, you know what you will be getting and how much it will be.
I honestly do not like Motel 6's inclination towards minimalism, and especially the bathrooms, and this one was one of the worst. Now I see all the floors are becoming non- carpeted. So they have become even less warm and welcoming then they have been in the past. The rooms have always been less then comforting, and now they are even more so. If you can hunt around for a better room at a cheaper price, they are often just down the street.
comfortable, economical
all fine
Was VERY nice for a Marriott, but it was a motel 6. Seriously, the room was GORGEOUS!! The bed was super comfy, and the staff was kind and helpful. Even when being insulted, because yes, I DID say "the room is beautiful--for a Motel 6"
The directions are a little confusing as you have to u-turn onto an access road, but nothing that would cause stress
Staff was nice to offer Coffee
Extremely Small beds , we could not sleep at all
