Review the latest version of the Academic Master Plan.
For more information or to provide feedback contact Chris Sax (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Angela Bartoli (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Academic strategic planning can take many forms and occurs at the program, department, and college level in the division of Academic Affairs. These efforts do not duplicate the AMP process, but rather enhance it. Indeed, the AMP process will integrate the planning work done at the program, department, and college levels with that occurring in other divisions of the University, as well as with the University's overall planning and budget cycles.
Click here to see various recommendations, initiatives, and
activities that support the AMP goals, objectives, and strategies. (This
document was first created in January 2014, and it will be updated on an ongoing basis as AMP becomes fully integrated in the university's strategic planning and budget processes.)
Some additional examples of academic strategic planning in action at the program, department, and college level are highlighted below:
In September 2009, a College of Arts and Sciences strategic planning form, adapated for the communications and journalism department, was distributed to every faculty member in the department. Each faculty member was asked to fill it out during the fall semester. By the end of the fall semester, feedback had been received from the vast majority of the faculty in the department. In January 2010, department chair Dr. Joe Borrell worked with graduate assistant Kara Miller and Grad Council Representative Dr. Kim Garris to compile the results. At the end of the spring 2010 semester, a general version was produced for the entire department and another specific to the graduate program/school. Lessons learned from the process: Having others help you is an important factor to keep in the process since it lessens individual bias in compiling and interpreting the feedback. Editing down the feedback also proved to be difficult. You want a comprehensive and cohesive set of findings, but also want to keep in the diversity of opinion on crucial points. It's important to step back from your day-to-day work when doing this, not to rush the process, and give contributors plenty of time to ponder. It's important to take your time with the process in order to consider and accept contradictory viewpoints after many conversations about the department's/program's long-term direction.
As a first step in its implementation of the academic master plan, the Office of Professional, Continuing, and Distance Education (PCDE) checked the alignment of its goals with those of the developing AMP document in October 2010. The attached crosswalk document assisted PCDE in prioritizing its activities and in the planning budget cycle for upcoming years.
In 2009-2010, all departments in the College of Arts and Sciences underwent SWOT analyses of their programs. The Mathematics Department approached this task in several stages in order to get maximal participation of faculty members. This short article describes our process.
At the October 30, 2009 meeting of the John L. Grove College of Business Advisory Board, board members, Grove College administrators, faculty, and honors students, along with representatives of the Shippensburg University Foundation, participated in an exercise designed to aid the College in its planning efforts as part of the development of the University's Academic Master Plan. Read about these activities in the following document.
The Middle States self-study examined the fourteen standards of the Middle States Commission of Higher Education and demonstrated that we are in compliance with all standards and made recommendations for improvements. One of the standards (Standard 2, see below) has the title Planning, Resource Allocation, and Institutional Renewal. Our compliance was demonstrated by the fact that we have an annual planning process that is outlined in our Program Planning and Budget Guidelines, published every spring, and that we have a university strategic plan. One of the recommendations in our self-study was to improve our strategic planning processes, by moving to a model where every division has a strategic plan that is then coordinated into a university-wide strategic plan. Therefore, the Academic Master Plan will be the first strategic plan of the division of Academic Affairs. As outlined in our current process (in the Program Planning and Budget Guidelines) updating and using the Academic Mater Plan (and ultimately the revised University Strategic Plan) will be an annual process. This ongoing annual process of review, reflection, and revision is at the heart of the Middle States standards and principles. We will summarize the changes that we have made and how the resources are allocated when we submit the Periodic Review Report to Middle States in 2014 and also when we do our next self-study and visit in 2018-2019.
Middle States Standard 2: An institution conducts ongoing planning and resource allocation based on its mission and goals, develops objectives to achieve them, and utilizes the results of its assessment activities for institutional renewal, implementation and subsequent evaluation of the success of the strategic plan and resource allocation support the development and change necessary to improve and to maintain institutional quality.

So I am sitting here looking at pictures of my kids. I am wondering whether there was a time when my own mother did this very same thing. No computers of course back then but a series of oddly square-shaped small photos laid out in awful sticky album pages.
Life has a funny way of catching up with you. I still feel pretty much the same as I did in the photos of me at 20. Sure, I can no longer pretend that I look the same, and my kids' music seems WAY too loud these days, but how the heck did 44 years pass without me noticing? And look – I actually have kids of my own! When did that happen?!
Somehow I went from passenger to driver. Without even passing a test!
So this post is to celebrate my fleeting life to date. 1967 to 2011 in a photographic instant. It may not have been an exciting life, but it's mine, and I have seen hills and valleys along the way.
There have been romances, and more than a little heartbreak. I have run the gauntlet of love over the years. I have loved and been loved. Marriage, divorce, marriage……Two beautiful baby boys and two step-children. Difficulties and joy. The loss of a mother and the eternal hole this leaves in one's soul. There have been homes, cars, friends, jobs and laughter. There has been travel and adventure. I am the richer for it all.
I studied hard and gained my independence early. I worked my way through jobs that bored me until I found places that challenged and inspired me. I have my mother's itch and I simply have to scratch it.
I have been lucky – parents that cherished me, good schools and security. There is nothing special about me, but the people I have chosen to share my life with have made me feel that I am. I only hope that my children will know how special they truly are.
Celebrate every second and don't forget a single thing. One day, way too soon, you'll be gone and your family will curse the fact that they didn't ask you the questions about your life which will give them solace.

Chicago White Sox 2015 News and Updates
7/27/15 - The Chicago White Sox are in the midst of a five game winning streak. They won all four games against the Indians, and they started a four game series against the Red Sox with a win. In their latest victory, they got ahead early, with a four-run first inning. However, the game remained close with the Red Sox getting ahead for a bit. However, two runs in the seventh, thanks to RBI singles by Tyler Flowers and Adam Eaton, brought the White Sox back in the lead. Another run in the ninth secured their victory. The two teams face off again on the 28, 29, and 30 before the White Sox head home to host the Yankees. You can still get your tickets to see the team play, with ticket prices starting at $24.
7/20/15 - The Chicago White Sox have been unable to repeat the four game winning streak they had earlier in the month. After losing to the Cubs, they started a four game series against the Royals with a loss. The second of the doubleheader games went their way, when they won 2-0. Tyler Flowers hit an RBI single and Melky Cabrera scored on a wild pitch in the sixth inning. The third game went 13 innings before the Royals scored the winning run, and the Royals won the fourth game as well. The White Sox are 0-1 in a two game series against the Cardinals and will look to break their losing streak when they face off on July 22. Then they head to Cleveland for four games, for which you can still get tickets starting at $5.
… more
7/13/15 - The Chicago White Sox ended their four-game winning streak on July 12th when they lost to the Chicago Cubs 1-3. They are, however, now entering back to back sets on their own field, which is an excellent opportunity to move up. Even though the White Sox are currently bringing up the rear of the AL Central Division, they are just one win away from the number four spot, held by the Cleveland Indians. The division leader, however, has built up a bit of a buffer. If the White Sox have any hope of catching up, they will need to close the 11 win gap between them. They can get started on that monumental task with a four-game set with the Kansas City Royals that shows great potential.
7/6/15 - Winners of five out of their last six contests, the Chicago White Sox are building momentum and just a win away from scratching out of last place in the AL Central. The ChiSox continue to battle with the Indians for fourth place overall in the division, with both teams looking up at the Tigers, Twins and Royals in the top three spots. Chicago will finish up a four-game series against the Blue Jays this week before taking on the Cubs at Wrigley Field in a three-game interleague set. Seats are on sale now for all three contests so claim yours now! Get in for the afternoon matchups Friday and Saturday starting at $55 or come out for the Sunday matinee game with tickets from $71.
6/29/15 - After running over the Cardinals on the road in interleague play, the Chicago White Sox might not be so excited to return home for American League competition. The ChiSox took it to the Redbirds, defeating them by a total score of 9-2 in a short two-game set in St. Louis. All-Star candidate Chris Sale continued his historic strikeout streak, mowing down 12 batters while picking up his first base hit and scored run, all in the same night. The hot bats came out for the Sox on Wednesday night, ripping off five runs in the top of the ninth to put a 2-1 game well out of reach and close out the sweep. Next up for Chicago is a big four-game series with Toronto beginning 7/6. Get your tickets for US Cellular Field now! Seats for Wednesday night start at just $4.
6/22/15 - Bouncing back from an ugly 13-2 drubbing, the Chicago White Sox handed the Twins a 6-2 loss behind seven strong innings from Jeff Samardzija. The Shark scattered eight hits to allow just two earned runs while his opposition, Mike Pelfrey, gave up 10 hits and allowed three to score to notch only Samaradzija's second win in nine road starts. Catcher Geovany Soto put two across the plate with a pair of singles and Melky Cabrera gave the ChiSox the lead in the top of the seventh to power the offense. The Sox open a four-game series in Detroit on Thursday afternoon and tickets are on sale now for all four contests. Get in starting at $12 for Thursday's early game or from $23 on Friday night.
6/15/15 - The Chicago White Sox liked where things were heading after they completed a three-game sweep against the Astros earlier this month. However, everything has seemed to head south since then. The Rays took it to the White Sox and swept them last week, not leaving the White Sox a chance to take home a win. The Pirates are their current competition and the White Sox were shutout in an embarrassing 0-11 loss during their first game. See if the White Sox can pull themselves together to end their four-game slump. Tickets for their upcoming games are starting at an affordable $1 a piece. The weather is supposed to be outstanding this week in Chicago, so now's the time to get your baseball fix in before it gets too hot.
6/11/15 - Even though the Chicago White Sox struggled against the Detroit Tigers, they managed to end their series of home games on a high note and remain undefeated against the Houston Astros. They now travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Rays. It will not be long before they are back in Chicago, however. Their homecoming game will be on June 17th. Tickets start as low as just $1. The White Sox are currently in the number four position in the AL Central Division, but this division is tightly packed. Despite their low rank, they are only a small handful of wins away from the Kansas City Royals at the top. If the White Sox's winning streak continues, they will not have anything to worry about.
6/1/15 - The Chicago White Sox have been trading wins with teams in Texas for about a week straight now, taking two of three against the AL-best Astros and splitting the first two games against the Rangers in what's shaping up to be an odd series. Each team has taken a lopsided win thus far—Texas opened with a 15-2 runaway victory on 19 hits before Chicago responded with a 9-2 drubbing the next night behind seven scoreless innings thrown by staff ace Chris Sale. The Sox and Rangers will play the rubber match on Thursday evening to decide the series before Chicago returns home to host the Tigers. Get your tickets for US Cellular Field starting at just $6 each for Friday and Saturday night's contests or come out for the early game on Sunday with seats from $7!
5/25/15 - After dropping four straight, the Chicago White Sox finally pulled out of their recent tail spin with a 5-3 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon. Chicago thought they had a victory in hand on Tuesday after posting three runs in the top of the eighth inning to take a 9-7 lead, but Josh Donaldson broke out for Toronto with a 4-for-4 game including an epic walk-off three-run homer to steal a 10-9 win. The White Sox rebounded with a hard-fought 10th inning victory behind a clutch single from Adam LaRoche, lifting them back to a 20-24 record and a step closer to the .500 mark. They'll continue to fight their way up the AL Central ranks starting on Friday as they open a series with the Astros in Houston. Tickets are available now for Minute Maid Park starting at $26 for opening night!
5/18/15 - Playing as well as any team in the majors including the Nationals, the Chicago White Sox have gone 8-2 over their last 10 games. They haven't suffered a loss since dropping their first game of a six-game road trip to Milwaukee, 10-7. The Sox bounced back to beat the Brewers twice, each time by a score of 4-2, then swept the A's in three games at O.co Coliseum. Chicago continued their winning ways at home with a 2-1 triumph over Cleveland on Monday, and they'll host the Indians for three more this week at US Cellular Field. There are great seats on sale now for each remaining game, with tickets priced as low as $3! Come out to the ballpark and see if the White Sox can make it seven straight!
5/13/15 - After suffering a 10-7 setback in Milwaukee on Monday, the Chicago White Sox rebounded with a pair of 4-2 wins against the Brewers to boost their overall season record to 14-17. The Sox are trying to battle their way up the ranks of a highly competitive AL Central division which includes the Tigers and Royals, two of the top clubs in the majors this year. Jose Quintana tallied 10 strikeouts and spread four hits over seven innings to buoy Chicago in their closing game against the Crew, giving the Sox some much-needed momentum as they hit the road for a series in Oakland at O.co Coliseum. Be there live as the White Sox take on the Athletics on Friday night, with tickets starting at just $21!
5/4/15 - One month into the 2015 season, the Chicago White Sox have found themselves on the outside looking in on a tough AL Central division. Their 9-14 record puts them just a game ahead of last-place Cleveland and three behind Minnesota, with the powerful Tigers and Royals currently atop the group. The ChiSox will look to build on Tuesday's win over Detroit at home, with two more games to come followed by home sets against the Reds and Indians. Tickets are on sale now for these games and many more at US Cellular Field in Chicago! Get your seats for Tigers vs. White Sox on Thursday night starting at just $4, or come out on Thursday afternoon for the series finale with tickets starting at $5.
4/27/15 - Playing in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, the Chicago White Sox have built an early season record of 8-9 after opening 0-4. It has been a strange start to the 2015 campaign for Chicago, which has seen three games postponed—one due to weather and two in response to protests and riots in the Baltimore area, impacting their series versus the Oriels. A large bench-clearing brawl during their recent series against the Kansas City Royals resulted in suspensions for star pitchers Chris Sale and Jeff Samardzija, penalties which have been appealed and may or may not result in a lost start for each. The Sox will head to Minnesota on Thursday to begin a four-game set versus the Twins, and tickets are on sale now for Target Field. Get yours starting at just $5!
4/21/15 - The Chicago White Sox have one more chance to come away the victors in their three game series against the Indians. They won the first match on April 20 4-3. The Indians were ahead for most of the game, having scored a run in the second, third, and fifth inning. However, the White Sox came back in the bottom of the ninth, scoring four runs to win. A double by Alexei Ramirez brought in two runs, Gordon Beckham brought in the tying run on a single, and Melky Cabrera's single brought in the winning run. However, the Indians came back to win on the 21. The teams meet again on the 22nd. Then, the White Sox host the Royals for a four game series. Tickets remain on sale, with prices as low as $2.
4/15/15 - After starting the season with a four game losing streak, the Chicago White Sox have turned things around, winning their last three games. They won a three game series against the Twins 2-1, and have started their two games against the Indians with a 4-1 win. Jose Quintana was on the mound for the White Sox, and he was able to keep Cleveland to just one unearned run for the six innings he played. He also had six strike outs and only three hits. Jose Abreau hit a home run, which was his second of the season. The White Sox play the Indians one more time on the 15th before they head to Detroit to face the Tigers. Tickets are on sale, with prices starting at $7.
4/10/15 - The Chicago White Sox haven't had their home opener yet, but they did have a series of games on the road against the Kansas City Royals. So far the White Sox haven't been able to add a victory to their record. The game on April 8 against the Royals was full of energy and excitement, even though the Royals left with the 7-5 victory. Starting the seventh inning, the score was tied at 5-5, but that tie was broken by Lorenzo Cain from the Royals who hit a 2-run homer in the eighth inning to win the game. Watch the White Sox hit the field during their game opener on April 10 against the Minnesota Twins. Tickets for that game and the following weekend games are still available. Tickets for Friday start at $59.
3/26/15 - The Chicago White Sox have announced that Jeff Samardzija is the Opening Day starter when Chicago plays at Kansas City on April 6. Chicago is looking past their disappointing record in the Cactus League of 8-11 to their first games in the regular MLB season. The White Sox have just a few games left at Camelback Ranch, so you'll want to get your tickets to see them before they leave. On Saturday (3/28), the White Sox host the Oakland Athletics. Tickets start at $34. Monday's game matches up the White Sox with the Cleveland Indians. Wednesday (4/1), the final home game of the spring training season, offers a chance to see the San Diego Padres face the White Sox. Get your tickets now and enjoy some great baseball.
3/19/15 - Gordon Beckham and newly-acquired catcher Geovany Soto each hit home runs to help power the Chicago White Sox to a 9-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday afternoon, lifting the Sox to a 6-7 record in Cactus League standings. Alexei Ramirez knocked in two more runs with a double off of Reds starter Jason Marquis, who had a rough outing after being named to his team's regular season rotation earlier in the week. The White Sox will take on their in-state rival Cubs at Camelback Ranch in Glendale on Friday, and seats are still available from $38. Saturday afternoon, the ChiSox will get a chance to match up with last year's AL champion Kansas City Royals, and you can be a part of the action for as low as $19.
3/9/15 - After five games in the Cactus League, the Chicago White Sox have a 2-3 record. In Monday's game, they tied the Arizona Diamondbacks, scoring two runs in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2-2. Arizona scored again the eighth, then in the bottom of the ninth, Micah Johnson hit a homer to tie up the game. The White Sox have a home game on Sunday (3/15) at Camelback Ranch against the Los Angeles Angels. Tickets start at $17. Enjoy a game of baseball on your weekend to relax and unwind. On Tuesday (3/17), the White Sox host the Seattle Mariners. Tickets start at $20. If you're on spring break, you don't have to skip class to come down to see these great teams play baseball.
3/2/15 - The Chicago White Sox are mourning the loss of a legend as they begin spring training. Their first black player, Minnie MInoso passed away. He hadn't played for 35 years, but he was a big part of the Chicago team for many years. His Number 9 was retired in 1983. The White Sox remember him fondly. With spring training games opening on Thursday (3/5), the White Sox host the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camelback Ranch. Tickets start at $23. On Saturday (3/7), they host the Seattle Mariners. The Arizona Diamondbacks face off against the White Sox on Monday (3/9). We have great seats at great prices. Wednesday (3/11) gives you the opportunity to see the Texas Rangers and the White Sox. Tickets start at $12 for this afternoon game.
2/9/15 - The Chicago White Sox had a very disappointing season in 2014, but it is now time for another opportunity for a clean slate. The MLB 2015 season is just about two months off, but the excitement is getting started early. The White Sox will have their first pre-season game on March 4th at the Dodgers' field, but their home opener is on the 5th. The Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers will face off one more time, and you can attend for as little as $12. Tickets are going fast, however, so if you want to start this season off right by cheering the White Sox to victory, you need to act fast. The first home game of the actual season will be on April 10th against the Minnesota Twins.
2014 Season
9/24/14 - The Chicago White Sox will look to wrap up a mostly disappointing 2014 season this weekend, as they host a Kansas City ballclub who is looking for their first playoff spot in over 25 years. Ace Chris Sale (12-4) will not pitch any of the four-game series for the Chisox; projected to take the hill are Jose Quintana, Hector Noesi, John Danks, and rookie Chris Bassitt, a September callup. Jose Abreu is looking to finish out the season in a big way, though his power has apparently gone cold in September; while hitting .290 for the month, he's only left the yard twice, with three doubles and a triple all adding to his league-leading slugging percentage.
9/16/14 - With just 10 games left in the season, the Chicago White Sox are playing out the string, with no chance at all to make any mark on the outcome of the 2014 season. At one point it looked as though the Southsiders would struggle to stay out of last place, but the team has regrouped a bit and standing 16 games behind division leading Detroit, they've put themselves five games ahead of last-place Minnesota. If nothing else, Sox fans will have two more starts by ace Chris Sale to look forward to before the end of the season; it's being projected that Sale will face the Detroit Tigers once, before pitching the final game of the season against Kansas City.
9/10/14 - As the Chicago White Sox play out the string in September, well off the pace being set by Kansas City and Detroit (15 ½ games behind, with 80 losses so far), the Chisox do have a couple of big highlights to point to for the 2014 season. One of them is 6'3" and 255 pound Cuban slugger Jose Abreu, who continues to be a pleasant surprise. Abreu is tops in the American League in slugging percentage (.590), second in OPS (.968), third in homers (33), fourth in RBI (99) and fifth in batting average (.317). The other is a little taller (6'6") and a little leaner (180 pounds), but pitcher Chris Sale has put together a solid season in 2014. Sale's won-loss record of 11-3 is a little short due to his late start this season, but some of his other stats are right there among the top pitchers in the league – leading the AL in ERA (2.09), second in winning percentage (.786) and WHIP (0.94).
9/4/14 - With the final month of the season under way, the Chicago White Sox are trying mightily to stay out of last place in the American League Central, splitting games with Detroit to end August followed by another split, this time of the team chasing them, Minnesota, with one game remaining in that series and the Chisox two games up on the Twins, and 14 ½ games behind division leading Kansas City. The Sox have seven out-of-division games remaining on their schedule, a four-game set against the Athletics at U.S. Cellular Field on the Southside; with a three-game set in Tampa in the middle of their final, 9-game road trip of the year.
8/27/14 - The month of August has proven to be not a good one for the Chicago White Sox, who at this point will be happy to see this part of the schedule in their rear-view mirror. The White Sox have lost seven straight at this point, the longest current losing streak as of Wednesday, Aug. 27; they are in danger of being overtaken by Minnesota, who is just one game behind the Chisox. Even pitcher Chris Sale has had his struggles of late; Sale allowed four runs – all unearned – in six innings of work against the New York Yankees in his last outing, but fortunately did not factor in the losing decision, which was hung on reliever Jake Petricka.
8/21/14 - It's not been a good month of August for the Chicago White Sox, who have won just six times against 12 losses this month, including three straight to East-leading Baltimore most recently. The once dominant Chris Sale has lost his last two outings – to Baltimore, and before that, Texas – bringing his record this season to 10-3, the only Chisox pitcher with a double figure victory total, though John Danks is close behind with a 9-8 record. The Southsiders square off this weekend with the New York Yankees, who are slated to face Danks and Sale, sandwiching fellow starter John Carroll, while trying to keep ahead of last place Minnesota.
8/14/14 - Despite the best efforts of players like Jose Abreu and Chris Sale, the Chicago White Sox unfortunately find themselves in danger of falling further and further behind in the American League's Central Division. The Chisox currently are in fourth place in a division that's otherwise turned into an unexpected horserace at the top, 9 ½ games behind surprise leaders Kansas City – but even more ominously, the Pale Hose are just two games ahead of last place Minnesota. Moreover, the White Sox are at a minus-60 in run differential; they're ninth in MLB in runs scored, but 28th in runs allowed, and the only teams with worse run differentials in the AL are Texas and Houston – not a good sign.
7/30/14 - Despite sitting in fourth place in the American League Central, the Chicago White Sox are not out of the question when it comes to individual postseason honors. Cuban slugger Jose Abreu (.299/.349/.632, 31 HR, 83 RBI) is nearly a lock for the American League Rookie of the Year honor and will certainly get Most Valuable Player attention. Pitcher Chris Sale is making a very strong case (10-1 in 16 starts, 13 quality starts, 122 K's, 1.88 ERA, 0.86 WHIP) for the AL Cy Young Award. But here's another name to watch: third baseman Conor Gillaspie. Gillaspie is currently nitting .327, which would tie him for second in the AL in batting average with Seattle's Robinson Cano – that is, if he had enough plate appearances to qualify. A player must have the equivalent of 3.1 plate appearances for each of their team's games to qualify for the batting title; Gillaspie is close, though, to having enough trips to the plate in the next couple games to put himself in contention.
7/23/14 - If the Chicago White Sox are to get back into the American League Central Division race, they are going to have to find a way to score more runs, despite being eighth in Major League Baseball in runs scored. Against their most recent opponent, division rival Kansas City, the Chisox managed to score just five runs the entire series – three of them coming in the lone win, which ace Chris Sale, now 9-1, was able to make stand up. In the other two games with the Royals, the Southsiders were held to just a single run each game. Slugger Jose Abreu leads the Sox in runs scored with 52, along with 29 HR, 74 RBI, and the sabermetric "runs created" total of 68.4 (basic "runs created" being calculated as [hits plus walks] times total bases, divided by the total of at-bats plus walks).
7/16/14 - The Chicago White Sox wrapped up the first half (more or less) of the season going into the All-Star break with six wins and seven losses, leaving them just one percentage point out of the American League Central cellar ahead of ASG hosts Minnesota. Still, there are some very bright points in what might otherwise be described as a middling season: offensively, rookie Jose Abreu is back to mashing, leading the Chisox in the three Triple Crown categories (batting average, homers and RBI); his 29 homers and .630 slugging percentage leads the AL, while his RBI total of 73 and his OPS (on-base plus slugging) of .972 are each good for third leaguewide. Pitching has been dominated by starter Chris Sale, who won the AL Final Man vote to the All-Star Game; Sale lacks one inning's work to be eligible for the ERA title at the moment but his minuscule 2.08 ERA would place him near the top of the league leaders.
7/8/14 - Does Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale belong on the American League all-Star roster? Many pundits believe Sale's exclusion from the AL's squad was a huge omission; Sale being 8-1 in 13 starts, with 96 strikeouts and a 2.16 ERA. White Sox fans, however, will have one last shot to put their ace on the final roster, as Sale has been selected as one of the AL's five "Final Man" candidates, in voting which will be conducted via Twitter this week. Sale, who got the win in last year's Midsummer Classic, is currently leading a close campaign according to the Major League Baseball website; Twitter voting is slated to end on Thursday.
7/3/14 – The Chicago White Sox will kick off their Fourth of July series against the Seattle Mariners tomorrow. You can still grab Chicago White Sox tickets to the Independence Day game and ensure your family the best fireworks display Chi-town has to offer for a mere $7 in the Upper Reserve! The White Sox-Mariners series at US Cellular Field concludes on Sunday, giving the Southside squad a night to recoup before hitting the road for a trip to Boston. The White Sox will play the Red Sox at Fenway Park over a four game series running from Mon 7/7 to Thurs 7/10.
6/19/14 - For every series the Chicago White Sox takes two out of three from in the month of June – at the Los Angeles Dodgers, at home against division rival Detroit – the Chisox turn around and find themselves swept, first by the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, then by streaking Kansas City, another division rival. Consequently the Southsiders find themselves in fourth place, 4 ½ games behind the Royals, the new division leader in the American League Central, and a game behind Cleveland. However, the White Sox just took a pair of interleague victories from San Francisco, the last of which saw Chris Sale notch his sixth victory against just one loss, and Jose Abreu launch his team leading 20th homer, good for second in the American League.
6/16/14 - The American League's Central Division is still jam-packed from top to bottom, with just four games separating division leader Detroit and last-place Minnesota. It's anybody's game in the division and the Chicago White Sox, even though one game under .500 and 3 ½ games back of the Tigers, are keeping pace with the division leaders. The opening game of a three-game set against Detroit on June 10 was postponed due to rain, with no makeup date announced as of yet. Due to the postponement, the Chisox have juggled their pitching rotation slightly, moving Andre Rienzo to the weekend, and John Danks moving up a day, and leaving ace Chris Sale to face the Tigers' Max Scherzer.
6/3/14 - The 2014 story of the Chicago White Sox continues to be written by three players: shortstop Alexei Ramirez, Cuban expatriate first baseman Jose Abreu, and pitcher Chris Sale. Ramirez is the Chisox' leading hitter for average, currently standing at .326 (good for third in the American League) and a complete slash line of .326/.364/.473, with eight doubles and seven homers among his 74 hits. He's also seventh in the AL in stolen bases, currently with 12. Abreu has been the power generator in the Sox lineup, his 16 homers good for third in the league, while sixth in the AL in RBI (47) and OPS (.933). Sale has come on strong after a late start to his season; his five wins in seven starts, with no losses, place him as the team's ace, and he should rapidly gain enough innings pitched to qualify for the ERA chart; Sale's is a tiny 1.59 in 45 1/3 innings pitched (to qualify for the ERA crown, a pitcher must have at least 162 innings pitched at the end of the season).
5/29/14 - A split with the New York Yankees, and a sweep of the division rival Cleveland Indians – the Chicago White Sox keep the pressure on division-leading Detroit, just 4 ½ games behind the tigers in the Central Division. The Chisox are getting the job done without Cuban slugger Jose Abreu, who is set to come off the disabled list on June 2, and is not expected to take a rehab assignment before rejoining the Sox. One of the wins over Cleveland was thanks to a strong pitching performance (one run in 7 1/3 innings, five whiffs and no walks) from Hector Noesi, who was plucked off the waiver wire in April and has made six starts. Chris Sale remains undefeated for the Chisox at 4-0; he most recently threw just three innings before a lengthy rain delay ended his start against the Indians on May 27.
5/21/14 - The Chicago White Sox are fighting the injury bug of late, losing closer Matt Lindstrom to an ankle injury which has landed him on the 15-day disabled list; a replacement closer could emerge from a trio of Ronald Belisario, Jake Petricka, or Javy Guerra (just purchased from Charlotte of Triple-A). Plus, slugger Jose Abreu is suffering from an inflamed ankle after leaving last Saturday's game in the seventh inning. While an MRI examination showed no structural damage in the ankle, the Chisox took no chances, sending the Cuban rookie slugger to the 15-day disabled list as well. On the other hand, pitcher Chris Sale will be coming off the DL this week, to start against the New York Yankees.
5/14/14 - So far, the Chicago White Sox season can be summed up in two words: Jose Abreu. The Cuban escapee has muscled his way to the top of the major league home-run leaders, launching 14 longballs so far, along with 38 RBI, which leads the American League and is four back of Miami's Giancarlo Stanton for the major league lead. Off the field, it's been reported that pitcher Chris Sale will make a rehab start for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. Sale is working his way back from a flexor muscle train in the left arm; he hasn't pitched for the Chisox since a mid-april outing against Boston, when he threw 127 pitches and struck out 10. Sale is expected to make two rehab starts in Charlotte, before returning to the club in late May, possibly in time to face the Yankees.
5/5/14 - Experience the Windy City's crosstown rivalry with Chicago White Sox tickets! The Southside is pinned against the Cubs for four games this week: the first two at Wrigley Field, the final two at US Cellular Field. Chicago White Sox tickets are cheapest when they visit Wrigley Field: get-in for $21 (5/5) and $12 (5/6). Wednesday and Thursday tickets are pricier, starting at $41 (5/7) and $38 (5/8) at home. This Chi-town showdown is followed by a series against the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks. The White Sox can use this opportunity to make waves in the tight AL Central: Chicago is currently tied with Kansas City for third place and is 1.5 games behind the second-place Twins.
4/29/14 - After one month of play, the Chicago White Sox have mustered a 14-13 record and are in the thick of the AL Central. Division leaders, the Detroit Tigers, are just one game ahead of both the Twins and White Sox in this early part of the season. Chicago has played well in the last week: they defeated Tampa Bay in three meets, split four-games with Detroit, and on Sunday,
Jose Abreu
broke Albert Pujol's record of most RBIs by a rookie through April. Starting today, the Southside is lined up against the Tigers for two games and hit the road for a match-up with the Indians over the weekend. Cheap Chicago White Sox tickets are easy to come by for their upcoming series against the AL Central kings: get-in for $5 on 4/29 and 4/30 (vs. Detroit).
4/21/14 - The Chicago White Sox may have dropped four games in a row, but they bounced back with a splash in yesterday's game against the Rangers. Chicago launched the biggest offensive attack we've seen from the Southside, maximizing on Texas' pitching woes to score 16 runs, allowing just 2 RBIs from the opposition. The White Sox will try and channel this winning momentum into their four game series against the Detroit Tigers and the Tampa Bay Rays this week. Cheap Chicago White Sox tickets are available for $3 across their entire series at Detroit (4/21-4/24), and $3 for their 4/25 and 4/28 games against the Rays at US Cellular Field.
4/14/14- The Chicago White Sox took down the Cleveland Indians, thanks to Alexei Ramirez's series-clinching walk-off home run on Sunday. The victory marks the first time Chicago took a series over the Cleveland Indians since October of 2012. They'll look to extend their success over the Boston Red Sox, and on the road against the Texas Rangers later this week. There are plenty of cheap Chicago White Sox tickets available this week: $5 on Tuesday (4/15), $7 on Friday (4/18) and $3 in Arlington on Sunday (4/20).
4/7/14 - The Chicago White Sox have split their first six games, winning their series over the Minnesota Twins and losing two games to the Royals in Kansas City. The White Sox will extend their road trip to this week when they meet the Rockies in Colorado (4/7-4/9); each game offers a starting price of $7-$8 at Coors Field. Chicago returns to the Southside later this week, for an extended series against the Cleveland Indians (4/10-4/15). Cheap Chicago White Sox tickets are easy to find, starting at just $4 for their first match this Thursday and going no higher than $11 (Saturday) to get-in.
4/1/14 - The Chicago White Sox gave Southside baseball fans something to cheer about when they took down the Minnesota Twins on Opening Day, 3-5. The team effort was there, as Alejandro de Aza struck two big homeruns and Jose Abreu had two hits in his MLB debut. See if the squad can build on this victory and sweep the series with cheap Chicago White Sox tickets this week! Get-in for a mere $4 in the Upper Reserve on both Wednesday and Thursday. Next up is some stiff competition: the White Sox take on the Royals for three games in Missouri (get in on Friday for $76).
3/24/14 - You have just three chances left to see the Chicago White Sox in Cactus league play! This week they host the Rockies (get in for $34 on Tuesday) and the Reds (get in for $7 on Wednesday), before travelling to Mesa, AZ for their final Spring Training game against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday (get-in for $38). See the White Sox on Monday, March 31 for their Opening Day game against the Minnesota Twins for just $23! Regarding recent franchise moves, the White Sox inked a deal with 25 year-old pitcher Jose Quintana (five-years for $26.5 million) today, and are also looking to trade Adam Dunn and his hefty contract soon, as the team is "log-jammed" with first base/designated hitters on the roster, considering Paul Konerko and Jose Abreu.
3/18/14 - The White Sox have less than two weeks to gear up for their Opening Day match against the Minnesota Twins on March 31. The Southside's first official day of baseball is averaging $93 a seat in Cellular Field. You can catch much cheaper Chicago White Sox tickets for their remaining spring games: pay just $19 for their games against the Angels (3/19), the Cubs (3/21) and San Francisco (3/22). Though White Sox manager Robin Ventura has been tight-lipped in mentioning starters for Opening Day, he has announced Tyler Flowers (having effectively recovered from shoulder surgery) will be in position as catcher. Though they made tons of moves in the offseason, the White Sox may not be done just yet—Chicago has reportedly contacted Seattle about a trade involving Dayan Viciedo. Stay tuned to catch a possible late spring move!
3/10/14 - With Spring Training well under way, the Chicago White Sox are putting the finishing touches on their roster, having traded right-hander Zach Stewart for cash considerations. Manager Robin Ventura also announced (to no one's surprise) that Chris Sale will be the squad's opening day starter for the second time, affirming "your best guy you always put out first." Chicago White Sox tickets start at $28 when they take on the Rangers tomorrow, and start at $26 when they faceoff against the Indians on Friday.
3/3/14 - The Chicago White Sox opened their Spring Training schedule with a tough loss to the Dodgers (0-5), but bounced back a day later with a 9-7 victory over the Rangers on Sunday. Cuban star Jose Abreu made his highly anticipated debut with just two at-bats in his first outing, and showed much greater patience than other vaunted young sluggers who bite at the plate. Chicago White Sox tickets offer the cheapest prices for Week 2 of Spring Training; unbelievably low values can be found this Wednesday against San Diego ($3) and Thursday against Seattle ($1), though prices jump up to a still-modest $19 against Arizona.
2/25/14 - Slugger Adam Dunn, an investor and actor in the Oscar-nominated movie "Dallas Buyers Club" has been invited to the Academy Awards this Sunday. Luckily, the White Sox's spring training location at Camelback Ranch in Arizona is considerably closer to Hollywood than their home in Southside Chicago. If Dunn does go, he'll be back in time for the second White Sox game against the Kansas City Royals on Monday; tickets start at just $5. Compounded by his recent accolade, Dunn is excited to get this new season going with positivity, as last year "was miserable" for him and the team. See them get it back with Chicago White Sox tickets, just $37 on average across spring training.
12/11/14 - The Chicago White Sox roster experienced quite an upheaval this winter, so there's more flexibility than ever for prospects to make their mark this spring. White Sox fans who attend
Spring Training
will get to see which player answers the pressing third base question: Conor Gillaspie or Matt Davidson? Get Chicago White Sox tickets for their opening spring game in Arizona against the Cleveland Indians, just $10 to get-in.
1/27/14 - The White Sox sure were busy this winter! In addition to front-office tweaks, Chicago made their big winter acquisitions by adding Jose Abreu, Adam Eaton and Matt Davidson to the lineup, so it's not hard to imagine Chicago jumping out of the AL Central cellar! Witness the start to this exciting bounce back season and grab Chicago White Sox tickets, averaging just $35, for
Spring Training
this March.
The Chicago White Sox have definitely been busy this offseason, obtaining big-name players Jose Abreu, Adam Eaton and Matt Davidson. They'll join franchise legends and MLB veterans Paul Konerko and Frank Thomas in the Southside for what is presumably their final year in the majors. The White Sox released hitting coach Jeff Manto (bottom-five hitting team last season), but have signed manager Robin Ventura (recruited in 2012) to a multiyear contract in his attempt to improve upon the league's second-worst fielding and errors percentages garnered last year.
The White Sox were another team to drop the ball on the Masahiro Tanaka acquisition this winter, as the Japanese League ace resolved to take up residence with the Yankees for the next seven years. Now, the White Sox are looking to Ervin Santana and Ubaldo Jimenez to fill the bullpen gap. After quite and aggressive offseason by a relatively new manager, you've got to keep up with the Chicago White Sox this year as they enter Spring Training with a new-look roster!
2013 Season
4/3/13 - White Sox Manager Robin Ventura said his team had only one goal – to make the MLB Playoffs. Chicago has seven months before postseason begins and regular season games have already started. Five of the eight series that the Chicago White Sox will play this month will be at home. Opening Day against the
had an average ticket price of $87; in comparison that is almost double the cost of any other game at
US Cellular Field
in April. It was announced yesterday that the Chicago White Sox vs. Texas Rangers game on August 24 at U.S. Cellular Field will now be called the "Civil Rights Game." It will be the third time in seven years that the White Sox will play in what is becoming a regular game on the MLB schedule. Although White Sox GM Kenny Williams called 2012 a rebuilding year, the team still managed an 85-77 record and finished just 3 games back of the Central Division lead. The club led the division for most of the season before succumbing to the streaking Tigers in late September. After fading down the stretch of the 2012 season, second-year manager Robin Ventura looks for his team to rebound and capture their first division title since 2008.
The White Sox had a relatively quiet offseason, but did manage to re-sign ace Jake Peavy and righty Gavin Floyd. The Sox will look for major contributions from newly signed third baseman Jeff Kepinger, who boasts one of the lowest strikeout rates in all of baseball. After 8 years behind the plate, AJ Pierzynski left for Boston in free agency, giving Tyler Flowers a chance to step up this season. Following Pierzynski's departure, captain Paul Konerko is the only remaining player from the White Sox 2005 World Series Championship team.
White Sox tickets prices to see a game in 2013 at US Cellular Field average about $68, about $10 less than the league average. The White Sox have the 15th most expensive home tickets in the
, but 2nd most expensive in the AL Central after the Twins. The most expensive Sox home games this season are the first half of their home-home series against the cross-town

On Friday night the lights were once again burning at Bearcat Stadium as the Antlers Bearcats took to the field against the Talihina Golden Tigers. During the first quarter it was clear what type of game it was going to be as the Tigers put up a total of 16 points with little effort.
The second quarter was much of the same as the Tigers continued to rack up more points against the Bearcats. With 7:04 minutes left in the first half the Tigers scored again and brought their lead to a total of 22. And the end of the second half, with no more points scored by the Tigers, the scores were Talihina Golden Tigers 22, Antlers Bearcats 0.
The Bearcats had a hard time this week against a very good team. With many missed, bobbled and dropped passes the defense had their work cut out for them as they tried to keep up. All in all t he Bearcats gave the game all they had but in the end the Tigers were just too much for them.
By the end of the third quarter the Tigers had expanded the point spread to 41 to 0 over the Bearcats but it wasn't over yet. In the first few minutes of the forth quarter, the Bearcats ran one down the home sideline straight into the end zone for their only touchdown, and points of t he game as they missed their extra point attempt. The game ended with a final score of Talihina 41, Antlers 6.
This week the Bearcats will be on the road as they travel to take on the Konawa Tigers in their first district game of the year.View more articles in:

DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire athletic department announced Sept. 9 that the renovation of the Paul Sweet Oval is progressing nicely and closing in on completion.
To date, new lighting fixtures have been hung and the entire indoor track has been given a coat of fresh paint from floor to ceiling in the school's white, navy blue and gray colors. Areas of the track have begun to be removed and replaced to reinforce the throws area and give the new surface a better area to bond to.
Two items remain on the to-do list: the laying of the track surface and the installation of windows. The infield surface, once comprised of dirt, will be made of a polymer rubber called Mondo Super X, while the track will be Mondo FTX – the same surface used in Olympic stadiums, including the Bird's Nest at the recently completed Beijing Olympics. Fourteen windows that were covered over with bricks in 1979 will be uncovered, removed and replaced with architecturally-correct windows, once again letting natural light into the facility. The window replacement will echo the original architecture of the 1930s construction. If funding allows, the current unisex bathroom will be completely renovated and replaced with brand new men's and women's bathrooms. Also, aesthetic enhancements such as graphics, recognition boards, record boards and a suitable foyer are hoped for, predicated on the raising of funds.
Check back periodically at www.unhwildcats.com for more photos and updates on the Paul Sweet Oval Renovation Project. For more information on the project, contact coach Jim Boulanger via e-mail at email@example.com or by phone at (603) 862-3888.
UPDATE (Sept. 11): The bricks covering the 14 windows have begun to be taken out and should be totally removed by next week. Once that happens, the glass company will install the brand new windows.
UPDATE (Sept. 17): The bricks covering the first seven windows in the front of the buidling have been totally removed.
UPDATE (Oct. 22): All 14 windows have been installed and the brand new track surface has been layed down.
UPDATE (Nov. 13): The facility has been cleaned out and finishing touches have been added, bringing the renovation project to completion.

Trachoma (truh-KOH-muh) is a bacterial infection that affects your eyes. The bacterium that causes trachoma spreads through direct contact with the eyes, eyelids, and nose or throat secretions of infected people.
Trachoma is very contagious and almost always affects both eyes. Signs and symptoms of trachoma begin with mild itching and irritation of your eyes and eyelids and lead to blurred vision and eye pain. Untreated trachoma can lead to blindness.
Trachoma is the leading preventable cause of blindness worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 8 million people worldwide have been visually impaired by trachoma. WHO estimates more than 84 million people need treatment for trachoma, primarily in poor areas of developing countries. In some of the poorest countries in Africa, prevalence among children can reach 40 percent.
If trachoma is treated early, it often may prevent further trachoma complications.

NAVARRE — After a three-year absence from coach basketball, Crestview girls basketball coach Kathy Combest said she didn't feel any nerves for herself, but rather some anxiousness her team before the Bulldogs took the court against Navarre on Monday.
Combest, who has coached the Bulldog volleyball team the last two years, stepped down as the Baker girls coach after 13 years prior to the 2009 season with a 175 wins to her credit.
The layoff didn't seem to bother Combest a bit as she was in mid-season form on opening night directing the Bulldogs to a 69-56 win over the Raiders.
Ironically, Combest's firsr win as the Bulldog volleyball coach also came at the expense of Navarre.
Combest downplayed her return to the bench as she focused on the job ahead for the Bulldogs.
"I just try do what I can, when I can, as much as I can," she said. "We've got a lot of stuff to work on. We are not very deep (on the roster, but we are trying to teach the girls that are on the bench to come in and not give up too much.
"We've got to get the girls a little more in tune to what we are trying to do. They don't want back up and run the offense. We've still got to get them patient and get them to do what we need them to do and that's because it's a new system."
While the Bulldogs (1-0) are still a work in progress they showed plenty of potential on their way to the win.
Senior Kerrie York helped Crestview get off to a fast start scoring six first-quarter points as Crestview took the early lead.
The Bulldogs didn't lead the entire game, but they led most of the way and never trailed after an Arianna Simms' fast break layup with 2:51 left in the opening period.
Crestview's smothering half-court defense kept the Raiders (0-1) from being able to get into their offense as the Bulldogs led 18-12 at the end of the opening quarter.
Once the Bulldogs took the lead they did everything they could to hold onto it. Navarre used some long-range shooting to cut a point off the Crestview lead heading into the half with the score 33-38.
Crestview maintained the 5-point edge most of the third quarter until Navarre's Celine Charitat it a 3-pointer with 2:47 left in the period to get the Bulldog advantage to 45-43. Navarre pulled to within a point of Crestview at the 1:03 mark in the quarter when Jess Reyes hit a free throw.
That would be as close as the Raiders would get as Malia Gandy and Simms scored for Crestview in the final minute of the third quarter to push the Bulldog lead back to 51-46 heading into the final period of play.
The Bulldogs extended the run to 10 points in the first 95 seconds of the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
Combest was glad to see that the Bulldogs didn't give in to the Navarre rally in the third quarter.
"I'm most pleased with them not giving up and that's what we've got to change at Crestview High School – not to give up, no matter what," she said. "I thought when they caught up with us we went right back at them and that's something I'm wanting to see more of."
Simms and Jensis Coleman led Crestview in scoring with 17 points each. York added 14 points, Malia Gandy 12 points and Shantae Gandy eight points.
Nadia Fingall and Hannah Worden shared scoring honors for Navarre with 10 points.
The Crestview girls are sponsoring a Military Appreciation Night on Monday when they host Tate. Any active or retired members of the military will get free admission to the game by showing their military ID. Game time Monday is 7 p.m. for the varsity and 5:30 p.m. for the junior varsity.

Phoenix Area Map - Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch
Getting To & Around Phoenix
Phoenix Neighborhoods
Phoenix is located in central Arizona in the Valley of the Sun, surrounded by McDowell, Phoenix South, White Tank, and Estrella mountains. The Phoenix Metropolitan Area is comprised of several dozen cities, the primary ones being Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, Carefree and Cave Creek.
Downtown Phoenix
Home to both city hall and the state capitol, Downtown Phoenix is a business, financial and government district. However, the downtown area is also where most of the city's sports arenas, museums and entertainment venues are located. The Orpheum Theatre, Symphony Hall and the Herberger Theater Center are all located in the downtown area, as well as the Phoenix Museum of History, Heritage Square, the Phoenix Art Museum and the Arizona Science Center. The heart of Downtown Phoenix, known as Copper Square, is filled with art galleries that feature contemporary works. This area is also home to several high-end hotels, as well as many budget-friendly lodging options. Consider finding a room in the downtown area to be close to the city's top things to do.
Biltmore District
Located just north of Downtown Phoenix is the Biltmore District. The Biltmore District — also known as the Camelback Corridor because of its location on Camelback Road — is known for its abundance of upscale shopping centers. As well as the numerous shops along Camelback Road, shoppers will enjoy exercising their credit cards at the Biltmore Fashion Park shopping mall. The Biltmore District is also home to several hotels, namely the Arizona Biltmore Hotel.
Scottsdale is technically a separate city, though it is considered part of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Scottsdale reaches from Carefree in the north to Tempe in the south, a distance of more than 20 miles. North Scottsdale is characterized by numerous shopping malls and a lively restaurant scene, while downtown Scottsdale is home to popular sites. Old Town, the Main Street Arts and Antiques District, the Marshall Way Contemporary Arts District and the Scottsdale Waterfront all feature boutiques, restaurants and Native American crafts stores. Those who wish to stay in Scottsdale can live in the lap of luxury on Scottsdale Road, which has earned the nickname "Resort Row" due to the large number of resort hotels located there.
Because it shelters Arizona State University's Tempe campus, this area is very hip, with dozens of shops and plenty of nightlife locales. Mill Avenue is crowded with numerous interesting shops and an abundance of sidewalk cafes, making this street the center of attention in Tempe and a popular area for strolling. Just southeast of Tempe is Chandler, which has seen major economic growth in recent years and now offers plenty of dining and hotel options.
Mesa, an eastern suburb of Phoenix, is known for its large shopping malls and strips of inexpensive chain hotels. The area also features several popular small museums, including the Mesa Arts Center.
Northwest of downtown Phoenix, Glendale is characterized by its historic buildings and numerous antiques and collectibles stores. Those who visit Glendale can spend some time visiting the Bead Museum before catching a Phoenix Coyotes hockey game at the Jobing.com Arena or an Arizona Cardinals football game at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
Carefree & Cave Creek
Located on the northern fringes of the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area, experts say that the Carefree and Cave Creek neighborhoods represent the best of the Old and New West, respectively. Upscale Carefree is home to the renowned Boulders Resort & Golden Door Spa and el Pedregal Festival Marketplace, but Cave Creek identifies more with its Western heritage and features Wild West-inspired saloons, restaurants and gift shops.
Phoenix is a relatively new and constantly expanding metropolis. Although crime rates are not excessively high, you should still take extra precautions. Make sure to always lock your car doors, and keep valuables hidden from plain sight. Policemen in orange shirts patrol more touristy areas on foot and by bike, and you should not be hesitant to approach them for help.
There's a reason why it's called the Valley of the Sun: The Phoenix Metropolitan Area sees more than 300 days of sunshine every year, and its desert climate means the air is hot and dry. Visitors unaccustomed to this type of weather often suffer from heat stroke and dehydration, the symptoms of which include nausea, fatigue, headache and dizziness. To avoid heat stroke, drink plenty of water and wear a hat to shade your face. If you're hiking or biking in the mountains, take regular breaks. You should also apply sunscreen on a regular basis to avoid getting burned. Always carry sunglasses, especially when you are driving around sunrise or sunset: Wearing them will help improve your visibility and prevent an accident.
The desert is home to some creepy-crawlies for whom you should keep an eye out, particularly rattlesnakes and scorpions. It's unlikely you'll encounter these creatures within the city — or that you'll have problems if you do — but it's still wise to be extra cautious when out on the trails. If you're bitten or stung, seek medical attention immediately.
The best way to get around Phoenix is a car, especially as this ever-expanding metropolis rests neatly on a grid. A car is a necessity to reach the spread-out attractions, your hotel and food — not to mention the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). Walking outside for more than a few blocks is an easy way to be identified as a tourist. Phoenix has a public bus system, but you would hardly know it. It is unreliable and infrequently used even by residents. Smaller public shuttles, such as the Scottsdale Trolley and Downtown Area Shuttle, however, are useful to traverse those specific areas.Getting To & Around Phoenix»

The Aiken Mall may bounce back and become financially stronger in the wake of foreclosure proceedings, possibly helping nearby businesses and retailers, according to Vic Mill, CEO of Blanchard and Calhoun, a regional commercial realtor.
Mill said once properties such as Aiken Mall are foreclosed and subsequently resold, there can be a positive impact for nearby stores as well as the community.
"A new owner is generally able to operate off a smaller investment given that the property is normally sold at a lower price and possibly even less than the outstanding loan amount," he said.
He added that if a new owner can make improvements to the property and potentially re-lease it to new tenants at a lower rate, it can generate new activity around the mall.
Aiken Mall Acquisition LLC, which owns about 35 acres at Aiken Mall, is listed as owing approximately $28.5 million to U.S. Bank, according to Aiken County Clerk of Court records.
Nicole Garrison-Sprenger, a representative of U.S. Bank, said the bank is not technically the lender of the loan and merely serves as a trustee for a pool of mortgages known as a trust. C-III Asset Management is the "servicer of the property" and is responsible for all actions on the property, including foreclosure, according to Garrison-Sprenger.
David Jameson, president of the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce, said the chances of the mall closing are "slight."
"It's a good chance the mall will just be bought by someone else, and maybe new management might bring new life to the mall," he said. "The new management may have new contacts, new angles on how to sell or market the mall, and it might actually see an upturn."
Jameson said whether the mall closes or remains open wouldn't affect other businesses possibly coming to the city.
"I think the businesses coming to Aiken look at the demographics of the area," he said. "The population mix, the income mix, the geography. They make their own decisions and don't really watch what's happening to others."
Clay Bolton, a local realtor for RB Bolton & Associates, said while the mall's foreclosure is a reminder that the real estate market is still tough, recent job announcements show favorable conditions in the Aiken business community.
"Academy Sports, LongHorn Steakhouse and Fresh Market are all signs that people still want to do business in Aiken," Bolton said.
He noted that while the state of malls is somewhat in decline, the right community conditions and investment can sustain growth.
"Some malls have made it and done real well. Look at what Augusta Mall has done, and look at what the mall at Harbison in Columbia has done. I think it all depends on volume to keep those going," he said, noting the level of shoppers.

text: Very interesting duo. The lighter side (Fascinating) appears a creamy white in the pan but actually applies a lot more yellow-gold and seems to get more yellow the more you blend it. Great as a lid or inner corner shade but not ideal as a brown highlighter. The green side is a beautifully metallic gilded green. I'm loving the Ready shadows from BM and would never have known about them without Temptalia and Christine.

I keep getting a message saying my review isn't long enough. How do people post reviews that just show a rating and nothing more. Anyway, this is a gorgeous highlighter – subtle and beautiful and gives a lovely glow. The the package isn't nice at all!

Left wing Brian Maloney chipped in a goal and three assists in the losing effort while Peoria center Troy Riddle paced his club with three goals.
Chicago (1-1-0-0) received goals from five different players.
Peoria (0-1-0-1) earned a point in each of their two preseason matchups against the Wolves.
The Wolves cracked the scoreboard early in the first period, 1-0, when right wing Vlad Serov dug out a loose puck in the corner and threw it to the crease. Right wing Pat Dwyer charged the net and managed to deflect the puck past Rivermen goaltender Curtis Sanford at 1:18 of the opening frame.
Sanford posted eight saves on 11 shots before being replaced by Matt Underhill at 29:15. Underhill (1-0) recorded 14 saves.
Just over three minutes later, Serov added to the Wolves lead, 2-0, when linemate Brian Maloney wheeled through the top of the slot and dished a pass between two defenders. Serov positioned himself then one-timed the feed past Sanford at 4:20 of the first stanza.
Peoria cut into the lead, 2-1, midway through the first on a power-play goal off the stick of left wing Konstantin Zakharov. Zakahorov one-timed a feed, stick-side, past Wolves netminder Kevin Reiter at 6:04 of the opening period.
Reiter recorded 12 saves on 15 shots before being replaced by Tuomas Tarkki at 29:15. Tarkki (0-1) turned aside 13 of 16 shots.
Then, the Rivermen evened the game at two apiece when defenseman Trevor Byrne ripped a shot through traffic in the crease. Reiter kicked out the shot but was tripped up, allowing Troy Riddle time to put the rebound into the unguarded net at 13:05.
Early in the second period, Maloney gave Chicago back the lead, 3-2. The Wolves left wing took a pass in the crease from Serov, pulled Sanford out of position and tucked a shot over the goal line at 2:19 of the middle frame.
Midway through the second period, Peoria tied it, 3-3, when forward Chris Durno broke the Wolves zone and dumped a shot on goal. The puck bounced off Retier and trickled into the crease before Riddle swooped in and banged it into the net at 9:15.
Forty-five seconds into the third period, DiSalvatore gave the Rivermen the lead, 4-3. Left wing Charles Linglet snapped a feed across the slot that bounced off a Wolves defender's stick and onto the tape of DiSalvatore. He then quickly snapped a shot that beat Tarkki, top-shelf.
Then, Peoria tacked on to its lead, 5-3, when left wing Justin Maiser beat a Wolves defender to a loose puck in the corner, cruised to the front of the crease and tucked the puck in between Tarkki and the right post at 6:20 of the third period.
Just over three and a half minutes later, Chicago cut back into the lead on the power play, 5-4. Center Jared Ross flew into the Rivermen end, stickhandled around two defenders and threaded a pass across the crease that left wing Colin Stuart one-timed into the unguarded net at 9:52 of the final stanza.
Riddle completed the hat trick and regained the two-goal lead for Peoria, 6-4, on the man-advantage, when he deflected a shot past Tarkki at 12:09 of the third stanza.
Late in the period, the Wolves made it a one-goal deficit when Maloney found Ross alone in the slot with a pass. The Chicago center quickly wristed a shot over Underhill's shoulder at 17:14 of the third stanza.
The Wolves remain in the Chicago area for their next preseason tilt against the Milwaukee Admirals at West Meadows Ice Arena in Rolling Meadows on Thursday at 7 p.m.

Yadkin's Republican Party met the man who hopes to run Kay Hagan out of office last week.
Mark Harris, the senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Charlotte, is campaigning for senator of North Carolina in the 2014 election.
He stopped in August 13 to a Yadkin County GOP meeting and introduced himself to the attendees, hoping to rally them in support of his upcoming run at Hagan's Senate seat.
"It's no secret that North Carolina has a real opportunity in 2014 to correct a major mistake that was made in 2008, and that is to replace our current U.S. Senator Kay Hagan," Harris said.
Harris spoke prior to the scheduled meeting and told Republicans he was the conservative the state needed to represent it in the Senate.
Harris cited the marriage amendment in North Carolina as the reason he first began considering politics, saying after much prayer he felt led to run.
He did not endorse all that the late senator represented, but Harris said there had not been a real flag planter since Jesse Helms.
Harris told the GOP that the last two presidential candidates the party fielded - Senator John McCain and Mitt Romney - were not the conservative figures the party needed.
"The reality is, and I say again nobody wants to really hear the truth…you guys have forgotten, the folks that are out there shivering on election day, handing out those press cards, they're your conservative, Evangelical, social conservative voters, and they're looking for somebody to be excited about it."
He finished his remarks by saying "My children, and my grandchildren deserve better than this," talking about the current political climate in America. "And I have to do whatever I have to do, and sacrifice whatever I have to sacrifice. I can't sit on the sidelines and ring my hands any longer."
Sales Tax Increase
Following Harris' exit the party took to its normal business.
GOP Chair Bodie Wingler gauged the room to see what the feeling was regarding a potential sales tax increase in the county.
Commissioners Frank Zachary, David Moxley and Marion Welborn were in attendance and answered questions concerning the proposal, which would allow the commissioners to potentially place a sales tax increase on a future ballot as a referendum.
Wingler and the commissioners presented the sales hike as a way to possibly lower property taxes in the county.
The tax hike would increase the county sales tax from 6.75 percent to a flat 7, in line with the state's. The tax would not apply to food items or medicine, Wingler said. Gas would not be applicable either.
"In other words it wouldn't effect little old ladies on Social Security but it would allow passersby and people going through the county, those that don't have anything in the county to help pay some of these taxes," Wingler said. "For every dollar it's one quarter [of] one penny."
Wingler opened it to the floor, where there was some skepticism.
One man told the audience that there were not enough sales done in the county to justify the increase.
"I would be really surprised if the numbers did exactly because we don't have any real retail sales," the man said.
Another man responded across the room by saying "More retail is done on Hanes Mall Boulevard in a weekend than we sell in a month."
Wingler estimated that the tax would bring in $400,000 extra each year. That amounts to roughly 1.3 percent of the whole county's budget, Wingler said.
Brady Wooten said "I would discourage increasing the tax rate. The more money that government has got, the more money government will spend."
"So was that your experience when you were a commissioner?" Wingler answered. "I'm just asking because that's pretty much a direct insult to three individuals in this room."
Wingler and the commissioners said the board had voted to lower taxes twice in three years. That history, they hoped, would help reassure people in the county to trust them to handle the increase responsibly.
When asked if they would lower property taxes as a result, commissioners said they could but were not able to promise that.
When someone in the crowd spoke up and said the Republicans would look badly for campaigning against no new and higher overall taxes, and then raising it themselves, Wingler scoffed and said there was nothing the small number of Yadkin County Democrats could do.
Wingler urged the board to vote for it, saying he had voted against a similar measure in the past but would vote for it now if he had it to do over.
"The people who voted it down last time, they didn't know what they was voting on," Marion Welborn said. "I would vote for it."
A vote was taken by the 12-member Executive Committee. Nine voted in favor with three against, one of which was Brady Wooten.
The vote will show support for the proposal if the commissioners decide to place the tax increase on a future ballot as a referendum.
Alcohol For All
Many of those present also voiced support for a new alcohol referendum for Yadkin County. The measure, they said, would allow the county to get a cut of alcohol sales before towns like Jonesville - which recently passed a controversial ruling to allow a referendum to go to a town vote - prevented the county from getting a piece of the action.
If a town passes the referendum and the county does not allow alcohol overall, the county is prevented from getting a percentage of the profits and the town pockets all of the money.
"They're going to get it somewhere anyway" was the popular phrase from many in the room.
"They're going to buy it anyway," Wingler said.
Seeing Red
Wingler and others spoke prior to the tax debate and discussed their continued efforts to turn the county totally red.
"I will tell you this, since our…back and forth with the newspaper and everything, I have turned a couple three families from the Democrat side to the Independent side," Wingler said. "The last numbers I looked at was 5,493 Democrats [in Yadkin County], and I think the Republicans and the rest [had] close to 14,000. We're gaining, they're losing."
Wingler followed the statistics by saying "By Christmas, it would be my goal to see that number under 5,000. If we each talk to somebody, we can get that done."
