Wouldn't it be amazing if that super expensive college you were just accepted into said, "Hey there, new friend – thanks for all your hard work saving, scrimping and scholarship searching but we'll take it from here, financially"? It can happen...kind of.
When a student fills out the FAFSA, a figure known as the expected family contribution (EFC) – the amount a student or family can reasonably spend on one year of college – is calculated using family income, number of children, amount of assets and other factors. There is sometimes a gap between the EFC and the final cost of college but 62 schools have reported to U.S. News that, on average, 100 percent of their admitted full-time undergraduate students' financial need was met for fall 2010 by some combination of aid (work-study, merit scholarships, grants, subsidized loans, etc.).
Now, we're not going to list every single college and university that reported these claims (you can check out U.S. News' site for that) but we will say that some well-known schools like Yale, Vanderbilt and Grinnell – the latter of which has never failed to meet full need for a student in 20 years, according to financial aid director Arnold Woods – have made the cut. Way to go and keep up the good work!

There are many factors that one should consider while searching for the perfect college. While cost, location and student life are all very important, where your friends are or aren't attending school could play an unexpectedly vital role in your decision.
During college search time, my best friend and I were both focused on out-of-state schools. We both knew we wanted to get out of South Dakota but our interests were different – she was focusing on music and I was looking into English – and in the end, we had one college we both loved in our top three choices: Colorado State University. After much debate, I ended up at the University of Minnesota, while my best friend chose to go to CSU. My decision to not go to CSU was (along with a slew of other minor factors) mostly due to my friend, as I wanted to forge my own path and start fresh in a new city. Two years later, I have no regrets and our friendship is just as strong as ever.
Some students base their college decisions on where a friend, boyfriend/girlfriend or relative is attending school without really considering what they themselves want and need out of their own college experience. Yes, these relationships are important but it's more important to decide for yourself: I know I made the right choice because I thrive in the big city and my friend loves the picturesque views of the Rocky Mountains outside her apartment window. Would our friendship have survived the turmoil of change college students go through if we were at the same school? We'll never know for sure but it certainly has stayed intact across the miles...not to mention that I get an amazing spring break in Colorado and she gets a week-long summer vacation in the Twin Cities!
Some friendships may survive the chaotic transformation every college student goes through but some will not and you should not base your college choice on just this one factor. Distance from your high school friends, whether it's thousands of miles apart or a couple blocks across campus, will impact your college life – just don't let it dictate your decision for the wrong reasons.

The six terrorists who have made an Israeli family hostage at Nariman House building in Colaba can battle with the security agencies for at least three days without having to worry about food, local residents claimed on Thursday.
"The terrorists came to Colaba on Wednesday evening," Mukund Shelke, who runs a grocery shop at Colaba Market, said. "Before barging into Nariman House, they had purchased adequate food to last them at least three days," he said.
"They had purchased around two crates of chicken and liquor worth Rs25,000 from two shops in Colaba," another resident Joseph D'Mello said. "They then entered the Nariman House building and took the Israeli family captive."
The locals said the terrorists were youths. Nobody suspected them to be being radicals, they said.
It could not be ascertained from where they made the purchases, since all the shops in Colaba were closed on Thursday due to the heavy posse of security personnel.
Some residents claimed that the suspects were keeping track of the police's movements through a television in Nariman House.
"When the news of top police officials getting killed flashed in the television, we heard loud noises from the flat. It seemed they were celebrating," Anand Raorane, a resident
in a building opposite Nariman House, said.

Ventura County student test results dip slightly in statewide STAR exams
Academic test scores took a slight dip for Ventura County students but they continued to outpace their peers statewide in English, according to results released by the California Department of Education.
Local students posted slightly lower scores this year, with 51 percent proficient or advanced in math and 58 percent in English. The scores dropped a percentage point in math and two in English.
Ventura County students were even with statewide students in math with just over half scoring proficient or advanced. In English, 56 percent of statewide students scored proficient or above. State test results were down by less than a percentage point in both subjects compared to last year.
About 4.7 million students participated in the 2012 Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program.
Test scores slipped by a fraction of a percentage point as schools continued to deal with budget cuts and prepare for a new set of academic standards known as Common Core, said Tom Torlakson, state superintendent of public instruction.
"While we all want to see California's progress continue, these results show that in the midst of change and uncertainty, teachers and schools kept their focus on students and learning," Torlakson said in a news release announcing the test results. "That's a testament to the depth of their commitment to their students and the future of our state."
"In less than a decade, California has gone from having only one student in three score proficient to better than one student in two," Torlakson said. "That's nearly 900,000 more students reaching proficiency now than in 2003 — a remarkable achievement that represents real, sustained improvements in learning."
Every year, students in second through 11th grades take the English test. The math test is given to students second through ninth grades. In addition, students in some grades take exams in history and science.
The scores provide the base for schools' state academic rankings. They also determine whether schools have met federal academic standards. Both those rankings are expected to be released in September.

CHARGERS: Preseason victory far from impressive
"It's something I needed," Wright said. "You need confidence to perform at this level, and I'm acquiring some. I just need to keep grinding and keep making progress."
Progress was difficult to detect in an uneven first half.
While an offensive lineman shouldn't be graded on one play, rookie left tackle Mike Harris underscored how much the Chargers need starter Jared Gaither to get healthy. Victor Butler blew by Harris and sacked quarterback Rivers from the blind side.
The committee of running backs slated to replace injured starter Ryan Mathews didn't fare well, either, rushing for just 37 yards on 17 carries through three quarters.
Ronnie Brown took the most handoffs and had 16 yards on six carries, though he did catch four passes for 37 yards.
There were highlights for the Chargers.
Whitehurst tossed two touchdown passes, was surprisingly mobile so soon after a knee injury and was as accurate as he has been in recent practices.
Rookie outside linebacker Melvin Ingram had another strong showing while playing with the second team behind Jarret Johnson. Ingram used his speed and an excellent swim move to earn a sack. He also disrupted the Cowboys' offense on several plays.
While some individuals stood out, the team emerged with problems to address.
The Chargers have six turnovers in two games. It's clear that Rivers and wide receiver Robert Meachem are not yet in sync. The rushing attack has some work to do. The defense looks strong in spurts but lacks consistency. Rivers was accurate, though his only two incompletions were intercepted.
The Chargers still have two preseason games to address their problems, starting with next week's trip to Minnesota. They will practice against the Cowboys on Monday and Tuesday before officially breaking camp.
"We know we have to keep improving," Rivers said. "But the good thing about it is we're still 0-0 in games that count. I believe we'll be ready to play when they do."

To cut across the Okeechobee it will take about 2 to 3 hours. The lake is quite shallow so stay within the markers. There are a couple of places where the markers are to far apart to see. A gps helps here.
You did not mention your draft. If you have GPS and a chart plotter it is a real help. There is nothing to really get in a panic about though, just use good judgment.
Watch the weather, the lake being big and shallow really can kick up in a blow.
I have never taken the rim route around the lake so I cannot help you there. There is a lock right as you come off the lake and I if I remember there is one or two after that. This can really slow you down. give yourself at least a day and a half.

In the hot plains of central Greece, Orthodox monasteries are perched atop sandstone pillars, suspended between heaven and earth. Down in the valley, the eternal cycles of farm life – birth, milking, slaughter – provide a stark contrast to their ascetic world. The young monk Theodoros and the nun Urania have devoted their lives to the strict rituals and practices of their community. A growing affection for one another puts their monastic life under question. Torn between spiritual devotion and their human desire, they must decide which path to follow.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Sleep in the Shadow of the Dukes…
And, walk to "Les Halles" the famous Dijon Food Market. "My Home in Dijon" is a charming, very large (484 sq ft./45 sq metres) studio apartment with a separate kitchen that we lovingly restored to meet the expectations of the most demanding of guests. Dijon is the jewel of Burgundy and is easily accessible by TGV train from Paris or by motorway A31 or A6.
This beautiful, centrally located apartment is on the first floor (second floor U.S.) of a 17th century mansion. Despite its central location, the apartment is very quiet and peaceful as it faces a courtyard. You will sleep like baby.
The apartment consists of a sleeping area with a comfortable queen size bed, a dining area and a living area complete with flat screen TV (200 international channels) and an desk with a computer with broadband access and free Wi-Fi. The telephone is unblocked and you have free landline access to 100 countries (excluding cell phone numbers).
The separate windowed kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave and mini oven, a gas/electric cook top and a washer-dryer. Open the cabinets and you will find a complete set of dishes, glassware and pots and pans along with a toaster, electric kettle, coffeemaker and a blender.
The bathroom contains a washbasin and a bathtub with overhead shower and glass shower door. It is equipped with a hair dryer and a flat iron, bathrobes and an assortment of toiletries. The toilet and a second washbasin with mirror are located in a separate room making it easy for two people to get dressed in the morning. There are two large closets for your belongings. Air conditioning in the main room.
You'll be within walking distance to nearly all Dijon has to offer. It takes 2/3 min on foot to go to the tourist office in the ducal palace (entrance in rue des Forges), 5/6 min to the covered market 'les Halles' 3 min to St Michel and Notre Dame churches, restaurants, brasseries all around. The Fine Arts and Magnin museums are a few steps away. Transportation nearby (buses, taxis, velodi)
The train station is a 15min walk if you wish to go to Beaune by train (or bus). It will be my pleasure to collect you at the train station so you don't have to walk, take a bus or a taxi to the apartment.
We try our very best to make your stay as comfortable as it can possibly be right down to the provisions provided free of charge on your arrival (tea, coffee, bread, butter, jam, eggs, ham, milk, cereal, orange juice and bottled water). We will even meet you at the station if you come by train. The minimum stay is 2 nights but since it makes a full day only, you will only scratch the surface of this beautiful town! And there are so many other little towns or villages to discover like Beaune, Vezelay all the wine coast villages with great names if you like wine (Gevrey Chambertin, Fixin, Chambolle Musigny, Vougeot, Morey St Denis, Nuits st Georges...)
As one of our recent guests said in our guest book: "We have thoroughly enjoyed our few days in Dijon. Not only did we have a beautiful apartment to stay in, but Dijon is a wonderful town. After a long trip and staying in hotels in big cities, My home in Dijon has provided the break we needed! Thank you Coco for your hospitality and the excellent tour at the beginning of our stay. Carolyn and Jeremy (Sydney)
To summarize, a good friend of mine from Pittsburgh who stayed at 'my home in Dijon' said to me: 'What's especially nice about your flat: Great location. Bright and 'airy' feel to it, and it's spacious. The floor plan, layout is super. In historic area/building yet has modern conveniences Probably first and foremost, your approach to being a landlord: you do make it seem as though the 'renter' is a welcomed guest in your apartment.'
A bientot!
Keywords: Apartment, self catering, holiday rental, vacation rental, studio apartment, romantic getaway
As a former receptionist in 3 and 4 Star hotels (mostly in Dijon and Avallon) I love welcoming my own guests in the apartment I rent out in Dijon. What a good compromise for me and everybody is happy with that! I can't travel as often as I would like now but my guests make me travel in thought since they come from all over the world... A bientot
Corinne purchased this apartment in 2004
I was looking for a very well located place, very central, near all the main sites. I have been very lucky! With my husband, we immediately fell in love with the apartment, the building and the surroundings.
The location is great, museums, shopping, restaurants and brasseries at your door.
Thank you Coco for making our 10 day stay in your beautiful city so memorable.We were overwhelmed by your generosity and attention to detail,you made our stay so comfortable so easy, from the free overseas phone calls, station transfers,restaurant and touring tips you were an amazing host and you helped us have a holiday we will always remember.
I chose this apartment based on the many recommendations from Fodorites and I'm so happy that we did. This is just the most ideal apartment and location you could dream of. The wonderful owner, Coco, has thought of every detail to make our stay so special. The fresh flowers, fruit and other breakfast goodies, fluffy towels and bathrobes are just a few things that welcomed us upon arrival. You will not find another apartment owner who will pick you from train station, provide introductory walking tour and take your photographs. Her recommendations for restaurants were good and her vibrant personality was refreshing. We loved Dijon and "our home" away from home. The apartment is located in a pedestrian area and literally just a few steps away from the beautiful piazza and Duke's Palace,theater, churches, museums, restaurants/cafes/Halles Market, stores and everything else.
The photos were accurate and the apartment was clean and well maintained.
The train station is a 15 min walk and so easy to take the TGV to Paris or other day trips. We stayed here for five nights and had planned on some other day trips but loved Dijon so much we decided not to go anywhere else.
I have already raved about this apartment/Dijon to friends and family and dreaming of our next visit.
This was our second visit to this delightful city and our second stay in this charming apartment. Coco is the perfect host, from meeting us at the station, providing information on local attractions and events, stocking the apartment with everything you could possibly need (including delicious edibles) and making herself available to answer any queries you may have during your stay. All this without being the slightest bit intrusive. Apart from enjoying all Dijon has to offer we made a day trip to the interesting town of Dole and went on an Authentica Wine Tour, which we would highly recommend. Another wonderful visit, hopefully we can return again one day.
Dear Coco,
We have had a wonderful week in Dijon, beginning and ending with your warm, personal care for our comfort. We very much appreciated your meeting us at the station (and taking us back there at the end of our stay). We enjoyed the provisions you had bought for us, especially the cheese and the wine, and were helped very much by your guidance through the centre of Dijon. As we discovered more fully in the following days, Dijon is full of wonderful things to see. Thank you also for advice on good places to eat and how to make the most of trips to Beaune and further afield to Vézelay and the Abbaye de Fontenay. We would not hesitate to ask to be your guests again if our travels should take us back to Dijon some time in the future; you know exactly how to make your guests welcome and comfortable without being intrusive.
We had never been to France and do not speak French so we were a little anxious on our arrival in Dijon. Coco met and greeted us like old friends. She is an amazing host. We were given a drive around the city, familiarized with the apartment and then given a walking tour of the old city to give us a sense of place. The apartment was lovely and every amenity was included....TV, phone and wifi. The kitchen was stocked with food, wine, cheese and a fresh baguette! What more could we want! Coco emailed or texted us daily to see if we needed anything. The apartment is as comfortable as the pictures indicate. Everything was beyond our expectations. In walking through Dijon we discovered secret gardens and architectural wonders in every ally and doorway. There are museums, cafes, five star restaurants, walking and biking paths, and easy access to surrounding villages. We combined our trip to Dijon with a canal barge trip. It was a wonderful vacation and we will return to this area of France. We will definitely stay at myhomeindijon again. It does become your home away from home.
We stayed in this apartment for one week and we can highly recommend it to everyone who wants to visit the Burgundy. Dijon is an excellent starting point for discovering the region that has so many monuments worth travelling to (Abbey Fontenay, Cathedral of Autun etc.). Dijon itself is a very lovely town with famous works of art & religion and is also good for shopping and enjoying the kitchen of Burgundy. The apartment is situated in a very well refurbished historical building in the center of town - the location couldn't be better. The interior is very tasteful and you will also find all the practial things you need (f.i. kitchen equipment). The owner (Coco) is a very friendly and helpful person. She met with us when we arrived to show us the way to the apartment, helped us with the luggage. She gave many recomendations on where to eat and what to do, we did a small tour around the town with her. Moreover, since we arrived on Sunday, she provided some food for us so that we needn't worry about finding a restaurant immediately. There is a book in the apartment in which former guests write down their acitivities and recommendations, so guests can also rely on the experience of former guests. We were very satisfied with this apartment and would book it definitely again when returning to Dijon some day. Thank you Coco and best wishes, Constanze & Sebastian
Upon arrival and if you wish, we'll have a little walk to the immediate surroundings (to show you where the market is for ex)

The Original Scarecrow Vampire Fangs - "Viper Split Deluxe Custom Fangs" (VF600) are brand new, totally unique, and very wicked! Each fang cap is split into two prongs. They may fit either canines and/or incisors or bottom teeth. Fast, easy, comfortable, and totally realistic. Natural color fang caps are shiny, rigid and beautifully contoured to look great in any mouth.
On-the-spot customizing is fast, easy, and only needs to be done once. Everything you need is included, no additional utensils and no boiling water necessary. Once customized, fangs fit with a unique mold of your tooth inside that allows you to snap them on or off, quickly and easily (no thermoplastic partial plate around adjacent teeth).
Scarecrow Vampire Fangs give you the best hi-definition quality realism that professional TV & film make-up artists, actors and stage performers depend on. As seen on CSI: Las Vegas, America's Next Top Model, Dancing with the Stars, and many more.
Posted by Abby on 29th Oct 2014
These fangs really do pass as "real" once you fit them properly. Do follow the directions exactly. It took me about an hour to customize them and they fit like a glove. I'm really glad I did it a few days before the costume party and not the day of. I love how they fit, how they look, and that they're reusable. Exceptionally pleased with this product and highly recommend that you try a pair for yourself. Accept no substitutes!

Pope Benedict issued an ambitious call to reform the way the world works on Tuesday shortly before its most powerful leaders meet at the G8 summit in Italy. His latest encyclical, entitled "Charity in Truth," presents a long list of steps he thinks are needed to overcome the financial crisis and shift economic activity from the profit motive to a goal of solidarity of all people.
GUESTVIEW: Fellay ordains SSPX priests, hints timid opening
The following is a guest contribution. Reuters is not responsible for the content and the views expressed are the authors' alone. Nicolas Senèze is deputy editor of the religion service at the French Catholic daily La Croix and author of La crise intégriste, a history of the SSPX. He wrote this for FaithWorld (translation by Reuters) after covering the ordinations in Ecône for La Croix.
Vatican daily proclaims Michael Jackson immortal – for his fans
It's not every day that the Vatican newspaper suggests that a man accused of paedophilia and said to have converted to Islam might be immortal. But that's what L'Osservatore Romano did today. In a tribute to Michael Jackson — itself another sign of the "new look" that editor-in-chief Giovanni Maria Vian has given it — the paper included him in a pop music heaven at an unusually earthly location:
Could abortion law backfire on Spain's Zapatero?
In a country like Spain, where a large majority still identify themselves as at least more-or-less Catholic, you'd think the government would shy away from taking on the Roman Catholic Church. In fact, there are probably few things Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero likes better than a brawl with the bishops.
New on-line forum seeks "common ground" on abortion
A new on-line forum launched on Tuesday seeks to spark discussion among faith and secular leaders and activists about ways to find some elusive common ground on the divisive issue of abortion.
SSPX set to push the envelope against the Vatican again
The ultra-traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), recently in the headlines for having a Holocaust denier as one of its four bishops recently readmitted to the Roman Catholic Church, looks set to push the envelope with Rome again by ordaining 21 new priests in three different countries on June 27.* Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller of Regensburg, the German diocese where the SSPX seminary at Zaitzkofen plans to ordain three of those men, has declared the planned ordinations a violation of Church law and has urged the Vatican to warn the SSPX not to go through with them. He told Bavarian Radio on Sunday that he hadn't heard back from Rome yet and would bring up the issue with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) personally on his next monthly trip there.
"The information was there" – Abp. Martin on Irish abuse report
Dublin's Archbishop Diarmuid Martin has shown a refreshing frankness in talking about the widespread abuse of children in Catholic-run schools and orphanages documented in the Ryan report last week. In an op-ed page piece for the Irish Times today, he described himself as shocked but not totally surprised and recalled hearing about the abuse from victims up to 40 years ago. He refers to reporting by "a few courageous and isolated journalists like Michael Viney," whose series on abuse appeared in the Irish Times in 1966.
Pope on Facebook in attempt to woo young believers
You won't get an email saying Pope Benedict added you as a friend and you can't "poke" him or write on his wall, but the Vatican is still keen to use the networking site Facebook to woo young people back to church.
Irish counselors swamped after Catholic Church abuse report
DUBLIN – Victims of sexual abuse and neglect in Catholic-run schools and orphanages in Ireland swamped counseling services on Thursday after the publication of the harrowing findings of a nine-year investigation.
PAPA DIXIT: to Muslims, rabbis, bishops, faithful in Jerusalem
Four speeches today to four quite different audiences. Pope Benedict first addressed Muslim religious leaders (see our separate blog on that) and then Israel's two grand rabbis. Both were about interfaith dialogue, but he was encouraging the Muslims to pursue it while he reassured the Jews the Catholic Church remained committed to it. He then addressed the Catholic bishops of the Holy Land and a Mass in the Valley of Josephat, just east of Jerusalem's old city. At that Mass, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Archbishop Fouad Twal, delivered an interesting address comparing the Palestinians and Israelis to Jesus in his agony in the nearby Garden of Gethsemane and the international community to the three Apostles who slept during that crucial period in Christ's passion (see our separate blog on that).

Don't like the ellipses or the phone-fingers?
And everyone here got an A in English, right?
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
I'm sure I did. Phones kill me on the typing at work.
And your 2 exceeds my 1.
My math is right.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
Supposedly at the Super Bowl luncheon:
Benson: "what's the name again?"
Rita: "Hornets"
"Oh yeah we changin dat as soon as possible"
A in English. No way Jose. I am terrible in English, and I am sorry for all of you who have to read my thoughts.
I'm really going to miss seeing the Fleur-de-Bee on the hardwood.
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky. When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
Charlotte Slobcats All-Time Records (11 Total Seasons)-- 50-win seasons:0, losing seasons:9, playoff series wins:0, division titles: 0, identity theft: 1.
I know I'm an outsider, and I really do try to limit my posts here, but I thought y'all might be interested.
For the first time since all this craziness started, Jordan has specifically addressed a willingness to switch the name of his franchise to 'Hornets' when Benson pulls the trigger. The front office has offered vague/veiled implications that they'd be open to the change in the past, but never have they referenced Benson, NOLA, or the Hornets.
I think it's safe to say that he wouldn't be so forthright unless a deal was, for all intents and purposes, done. We're all ready to throw down up here
We Beelieve: Charlotte...Take Back Your Hornets! links:
I'm sure Benson's people have contacted them about a possible price tag on the brand. At the very least you just transfer the costs associated with rebranding on to Charlotte.
It will be a huge mistake if Benson pulls the trigger on a cheesy name change. Charlotte will jump on the Hornets brand so quick, and their fan base will double in seconds.
And the reason Charlotte taking back the Hornets name is bad for New Orleans is simple. The Hornets are a popular brand, and most national fans will jump ship back to Charlotte I presume. New Orleans will lose thousands of fans immediately from their fan base. I don't think calling them the Pelicans is going to turn locals from New Orleans into rabid basketball fanatics. To me, there doesn't seem to be any benefit of a name change.
Nothing to see here, just another generic fan whose allegiance is tied to a logo. You guys can feel free to go back rooting for the Charlotte Hornets. You won't be missed. Not by the other fans or by Benson and his piles and piles of money. Pretty sure an 85 year old couldn't care less about losing a few million on the margins and that's assuming his new brand doesn't sell like gangbusters throughout the Gulf South (which it probably will).

I studied architecture at the University of Cincinnati and worked in construction management for 25 years. For more than 20 years my interest in social justice has led me to volunteer board positions for many organizations dealing with affordable housing, civil rights, historic preservation, homelessness, neighborhood preservation and similar issues. These volunteer positions led to a career change in 1992 that incorporated affordable housing, advocacy and other issues into my professional life. Today I provide professional consulting and grant writing services to organizations addressing critical social needs.

An excellent look at how the Affordable Care Act is helping real people. Shame on those states that have refused to expand Medicaid leaving thousands with not hope.
Turns out Russell Brand has an interesting mind. This is long and kind of rambling but is quite interesting. He really does get it. My favorite sentence, I think, is: "The price of privilege is poverty." Take a few minutes to read this and see what you think!
As Lily Tomlin says, "no matter how cynical I become it's never enough to keep up." The level of hypocrisy reaches new levels every day, as this report shows.

Victory sweetens Valentine's Day for Scots
Valentine's Day was a little sweeter for the Lyon College Scots as they rallied to defeat the Trevecca Nazarene Trojans 61-58 in a TranSouth Athletic Conference meeting Monday night in Becknell Gymnasium.
The Scots now have won two straight after an abysmal start to the month. And the early going Monday night wasn't favorable for the home team. Lyon trailed 32-21 at halftime. Given losses to a pair of cellar dwellers, several players injured or ill and then a 15-point deficit, "it would be easy to fold the tent," Lyon Coach Tracy Stewart-Lange said.
OWU sweeps Lyon in Kelley's return to Scots Field
Coach Kirk Kelley's teams have won hundreds of games at Scots Field, but Monday afternoon provided a first.
Kelley, who collected 531 wins as the Scots' skipper, made his first trip to Batesville as the head coach of the Oklahoma Wesleyan Eagles and they swept Lyon 11-9 and 4-0.

PROVIDENCE – When provisions for reforming locally-administered pension plans (called non-MERS) were dropped from the comprehensive pension reform late in the process last year, Gov. Lincoln Chafee vowed to introduce legislation on the first day of the 2012 General Assembly session to reform struggling plans that are causing fiscal misery for certain cities and towns.
He missed that self-imposed deadline on Tuesday.
PAWTUCKET — Fourteen years ago, Ronald Wunschel answered a newspaper advertisement for a city finance director's position that was placed by newly elected Mayor James E. Doyle. Now, after honoring his commitment to stay on and help with the transition under Doyle's successor, Mayor Donald R. Grebien, Wunschel has officially hung up his calculator, and is heading off to a well-deserved retirement.
Associated Press
PROVIDENCE — With cities on the brink of insolvency and joblessness stubbornly high, Rhode Island lawmakers returning for a new legislative session say 2012 is shaping up to be a pivotal year.
Just as they spent last year finding ways to fix the state's fiscal problems, lawmakers say 2012 must be devoted to helping cities and towns weather a fiscal crisis that shows few signs of abating.
"The fiscal integrity of the municipalities is going to be the year's big issue," said House Speaker Gordon Fox, D-Providence. "This is make-it or break-it time."

Record Number of Children Died in Hot Cars in 2010
Filed under: In The News, Research Reveals: Babies, Research Reveals: Toddlers & Preschoolers, Research Reveals: Big Kids
Temperatures might be dropping now that fall has arrived, but that's no reason to be less diligent when it comes to leaving your kids in the car. This year, a record 48 children have died of hyperthermia after being left or trapped in a hot car or truck, according to the Kansas-based organization Kids and Cars.
AOL Health, our sister site, reports that some deaths have been reported as late in the year as December, and notes that it's not just the southern states that are at risk.
To keep your kids safe, it's important to be aware of where your children are at all times, Dr. Lolita M. McDavid, medical director of child advocacy and protection at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, tells AOL Health.
"You can use a stuffed animal -- when the child is in the car seat the stuffed animal is next to you. When you take the child out, you put the stuffed animal in his or her place. So it's a visual reminder."

Combined therapy more effective for early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma.
Researchers at the Cochrane Collaboration performed a meta-analysis using data from 1'245 patients enrolled in five trials. Each trial compared out comes among patients treated with six cycles of chemotherapy alone with those among patients treated with six cycles of chemotherapy plus radiation therapy. Patients had stage I or stage II disease. Median follow-up for the trials ranged from 2-11.4 years.
Patients who received the combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy lived longer than patients who received chemotherapy alone. The authors estimated that one life would be saved for every 11-55 patients treated with combination therapy instead of chemotherapy alone. Patients who received combination therapy also had a lower risk of relapse. For every six patients treated with combination therapy instead of chemotherapy alone' the authors estimated' one relapse would be prevented.
Patients receiving either treatment experienced similar side effects during the trials. However' long-term effects such as secondary malignancies can occur later than the reported observation times of the discussed trials' according to the authors. This long lag time makes it impossible to determine from the available data if deaths from late side effects differ between the two groups.

Report: C's trying to trade Wallace contract, target Redick?
|07.01.10 at 12:35 am ET
Yahoo! Sports has reported the Celtics are trying to trade Rasheed Wallace's contract in order to keep their midlevel exception. Should Wallace's money come off the books, one target for the Celtics could be restricted free agent J.J. Redick, according to Yahoo!:
Wallace has yet to file retirement papers, so the $6.32 million owed him next season and $6.79 million in 2011-12 would come off a team's books after Wallace is traded to them. They could do a deal and not take on his money. Ainge is trying to use the Wallace contract to bring back a power forward or center to replace Wallace and the injured Kendrick Perkins.
The Celtics could then use their midlevel exception for a different player. Several sources believe that Ainge's target is Orlando's J.J. Redick, who is a restricted free agent.
The Magic have made a qualifying offer to Redick, which allows them to match any offer he receives this summer. Redick averaged 11.2 points (50% 3PG, 95.8% FT) against the Celtics this season in the Eastern Conference semifinals. During that series, Doc Rivers deemed Redick, who studied Ray Allen's game in college and contained him defensively, the Magic's "most consistent player."

Because if there's one thing the New York Times and CBS News are known for, it's slanting polls to favor Republicans, right? Here's The One's Deputy Campaign Manager spinning the numbers on MSNBC:
As I outlined in my earlier post, the D+6 sample of registered (as opposed to likely) voters should actually augment Obama's standing in this survey. Political stats maven Sean Trende agrees with me on this point, suggesting that a better sample could add to Romney's advantage. But Cutter's argument in this clip doesn't even address the top line figure. She's asserting that the poll sample was so biased that people should ignore even the gargantuan majority that said the president's gay marriage decision was politically-motivated. In essence, "never mind that 43-point margin, Chuck. The poll stinks." Okay then. Jim Geragthy also found this little performance from Cutter a tad perplexing:
On MSNBC, Chuck Todd just asked Obama's deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, if the DNC – controlled by Obama, remember – would be sending financial assistance to Tom Barrett, Wisconsin Democrats, and other folks hoping to unseat Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in next month's recall. "I have no idea," she said repeatedly. She emphasized that the campaign would be trying to mobilize volunteers and other non-financial means of helping Democrats in that state.
Jim correctly notes that Cutter obviously knows whether the Obama-controlled DNC will be spending money on the Wisconsin recall fight, so let's face it: Her de facto answer here is "no." This is the latest instance of national Democrats running away from the Badger State brouhaha, perhaps signaling that Scott Walker is in pretty good shape.

Calls for boycott of military science fiction film over the anti-gay views of its author Orson Scott Card are misguided according to its star and its director
Hollywood actor Harrison Ford has said his new film Ender's Game is not homophobic, saying the views of anti-gay author Orson Scott Card are 'completely separate' from the movie.
The actor was responding to the launch of a website Skip Ender's Game by US activist group Geeks Out, which urges movie goers to boycott the film and avoid giving money to its author.
Card is a board member of the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage and has called for gay sex to be criminalized.
