Full prices and specs for the all-new Mercedes C-Class 2014 have been released, with prices starting from £26,855 and the first UK deliveries to be made in June 2014.
Update: Our full Mercedes C-Class review is now online, along with a drive of the C250 BlueTEC model. Click on these links to read the Auto Express verdict. Or get an alternative review of the Mercedes C Class on our sister site Carbuyer.
There will be two engines available in the 2014 Mercedes C-Class intitially: a C200 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol and a C220 BlueTec 2.1-litre four-cylinder diesel. The gearboxes available with these engines are a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic. We're expecting to see three more engines hit the line-up before the end of 2014, including a hybrid model that will appeal to company car buyers.
There will be three trim levels available from launch: SE, Sport and AMG Line. The entry-level SE models cost from £26,855 for the petrol, or £29,365 for the diesel. The SE spec includes 16-inch alloy wheels, Artico upholstery. a touchpad-controlled centrally mounted seven-inch colour display, two-zone air conditioning and a media interface. You can read more about the new Mercedes C-Class interior below.
There's plenty of standard equipment on the new C-Class, including a reversing camera, rain-sensing wipers, Attention Assist, Speedtronic cruise control, heated windscreen wiper washers, a tyre pressure monitoring system and Collision Prevention Assist Plus as standard.
The Agility Select system is also included, allowing the driver to choose from five driving modes - Comfort, Eco, Sport, Sport+ and Individual.
Go for a C-Class Sport, though, and you'll drive away in a car with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, lowered comfort suspension, chrome exterior trim and a Garmin sat-nav. Prices for this model start at £28,850 or £31,360 for petrol or diesel respectively
Go even higher to the AMG Line (which starts at £30,345 for the petrol, or £32,855 for the diesel) and you get 18-inch AMG alloys, AMG bodystyling and steering wheel, sports suspension and an Artico finish to the upper dashboard.
Although the C-Class comes with a high level of equipment as standard, Mercedes will offer a host of option packs.
Buyers of the entry level SE model can select the Executive Pack (£995), which adds the sat-nav, plus heated front seats and split folding rear seats. On Sport and AMG Line models, the Driving Assistance Package (£1,495) adds Distronic Plus, Blind Spot Assist, Pre-safe and Lane-Keeping Assist.
Buyers of these models can also spec the Premium Pack (£1,595), which adds a panoramic glass sunroof, memory front seats, ambient interior lighting and keyless-go.
The Premium Plus Pack (£2,795) includes all the elements of the Premium pack but adds COMAND Online and the 590W Burmester Surround Sound stereo.
Additional options include the AIRMATIC Agility Package (£895), which adds variable, self-levelling air suspension. You can also opt for a head-up display for £825, the Air Balance Package at £350 and a 360-degree camera (£335).
The C-Class was officially revealed at an exclusive event on the eve of the Detroit Motor Show. The new, fifth-generation model is far more than just another posh compact saloon - it's set to be the most efficient, refined and dynamic model in its class.
Since then, we've also spotted the high performance C63 AMG version of the new Mercedes C-Class out testing. The flagship model will ge a twin-turbo V8 with around 450hp in standard guise.
"The C-Class is our highest volume model in the world, and the US is its single biggest market," Mercedes CEO, Dr Dieter Zetsche said. "It's only right that it debuts here in Detroit."
Before the Detroit unveil Mercedes showcased the new C-Class at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas where an 'augmented reality app' gave visitors a digital preview of the new car ahead of its official launch at the Detroit Motor Show 2014.
Codenamed W205, the latest C-Class sits on the new modular rear-drive chassis architecture (MRA) that will underpin every large Mercedes for the next five years. This has the capacity for hybrid and electric power, four-wheel drive and a wide range of different vehicle shapes and sizes all built into its structural DNA.
The new Mercedes C-Class is clearly designed to have a family resemblance with the new Mercedes S-Class, with a sleeker look than the current model. It features pulled back LED headlights, prominent styling lines along the body and a sloping roofline.
The Mercedes C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet models will most likely appear in 2015, alongside a high-performance AMG model. This model will get a storming 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that helps it go from 0-62mph in about 4 seconds.
How do you like your C-Class grille? Me, I prefer the luxury look. But we don't get it in the UK. Good or b... https://t.co/KeP2ZQJqAm
— Steve Fowler (@SteveFowler) January 14, 2014
The Mercedes C-Class Estate has been spotted in winter testing by our spy photographers. You can check out the full set of the latest shots in the gallery above. The boot space is expected to be in excess of 500 litres for this model, while all the specs and engines from the saloon will be shared with the more practical estate.
The new C-Class estate isn't due to be launched until the autumn, but product manager Iris Schleicher told Auto Express: "We tried to make the new wagon look like more of a lifestyle car, more stylish. It's bigger, too, but we're trying to ensure it doesn't look as practical as it is."
The interior represents a huge step forward for the Mercedes C-Class, making it by far the most luxurious yet. The brand has taken its opportunity to introduce the kind of state-of-the-art technology and luxurious finish that established the S-Class as such a dominant class leader.
The crystal-clear digital TFT screens (one between the dials and a tablet-style display on the centre console) feature pin-sharp colour graphics, and the clickable touchpad control is the kind of new technology that'll soon be the industry standard.
Opt for the COMAND online upgrade and you get a larger screen, with its pin-sharp graphics and intuitive touchpad and scroll wheel. Using simple smartphone gestures like swiping and pinching you can control virtually all the major functions, click easily through the various sub-menus and trace individual letters and numbers.
In the back the slightly longer wheelbase of the new C-Class means legroom is generous, and headroom is decent as well, while the swept back windows and wide light fabrics only increase the sense of space. The smart switches and vents are carried over to the rear seats, and although there is no official size yet, the boot looks impressively large too.
The boot is also bigger than before, matching the BMW 3 Series with a capacity of 480 litres.
The key to the new chassis is its light weight, and this theme continues throughout the car – 50 per cent of the body is now made from aluminium, so even though the new C-Class is 95mm longer and 40mm wider than before, it's up to 100kg lighter.
Aerodynamics have played a major part in shaping the sleek exterior design, too. Oversized full LED headlights dominate the aggressive new front end, and will be standard on all UK cars. The AMG Sport-spec model in our pictures gets a beefier front end with larger grilles and a chrome front splitter, and the whole car is tapered at the back for a sleeker profile. But exterior designer Robert Lesnik told us that like all the brand's saloons, the C-Class has actually been toned down.
"The new A-Class was a game-changer for us, but it's a Marmite car. People seem to love it or hate it," he said. "The C-Class is a three-box saloon, one of the industry's oldest shapes, so of course it has to be more traditional."
The new C220 BlueTEC diesel has a drag coefficient of 0.24Cd – better than most coupés – and when combined with the lighter body, Mercedes claims to have cut fuel consumption by 20 per cent. This means the 168bhp saloon, which can cover 0-62mph in 8.1 seconds, also emits 103g/km of CO2 – easily beating BMW's most frugal 320d EfficientDynamics (which emits 109g/km).
Joining the C220 at launch will be C180 and C200 petrol models. The C180 uses a 154bhp 1.6-litre engine that emits just 116g/km of CO2, while the C200 features a 184bhp 2.0-litre, does 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds but still emits less CO2 than a VW Golf 1.4 TSI.
Soon after the new C-Class hits showrooms in March, Mercedes will introduce a much wider selection of engines, with an even cleaner 1.6-litre diesel sourced from Renault used to bring headline CO2 figures well below the 100g/km barrier.
Also following will be a 330bhp petrol V6, and by the end of 2014 the full-blooded V8 AMG version will have joined the range. Plus, the C-Class will take its lead from the S-Class by offering a choice of petrol and diesel hybrids. The C300 BlueTEC HYBRID uses the same technology as the E-Class, but promises 72.4mpg.
In another first for Mercedes, the new C-Class will be available with 4MATIC all-wheel drive – even in the UK – as it shares its mechanical underpinnings with the next-generation GLK, due in 2015. That should help the car compete with Audi's quattro models, as well as the current wave of BMW xDrive saloons – although 4WD will only be available as an option on the most powerful models in the range, including the C220, C250 and C400 V6 petrol.
Despite the efficiency claims, senior development manager Peter Kolb said: "One of the most important parts to develop was the driving experience."
Mercedes has developed a sophisticated front suspension set-up, borrowed from the S-Class, and will offer three types of springs. All cars have steel Comfort springs as standard, with sportier AMG models getting a stiffer, less forgiving set-up and a 15mm drop in ride height.
Finally, the C-Class will also be available with optional AIRMATIC air springs. These give a choice of five driving modes, plus a self-levelling feature. This tech is a first for the class, and Kolb told us that his team "had used all of its experience with the E-Class" to develop the new system.
To help things feel instantly sportier from behind the wheel, the seats can be lowered 20mm further than before, and they've been reshaped for better lateral support. Plus, a new electronic power-steering system aims to improve high-speed stability and increase driver feedback. Kolb also told us that because the bodyshell was so much stiffer, "there will be no complaints about noise or vibration" in this version of the C-Class.
A new six-speed manual box has also been engineered for the C-Class, while there's the option of an upgraded version of a seven-speed auto. However, Kolb explained a nine-speed transmission is already well underway, and will join the range as soon as it's finished.
I like these latest pictures of the Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class
I want it now eyeing
I hope they have sorted out reliability of the electro-mechanical devices. Mercs have too many problems for a suposed quality car.
i don't think its a pretty car by far but Interior looks rather nice
just hope Mercedes can improve its customer service and attitude of staff
I hope UK will be offered with some decent petrol engines & not be left out !, not everyone need a diesel or do lots of miles ! since there is no C350 anymore not even C300 CGi like elsewhere in the world ! the c class coupe decent looker but not even C250 or 350 CGi only 2 petrol engines a C180 thats 1.6 and AMG, obviously the latter is out of my and many many people price range ! pathetic choice ! either that or else i stick to Lexus (new IS250/300h wow) thanks !
This was a nice read and a nice insight into the new Mercedes, which looks great! the question is though will the price be right? - James, The Car Loan Warehouse
Merc really seem to have lost the plot with the styling on their cars and this new c-class or 'common-class' is another example. A droopy 'jelly mould' shape. The profile of this car reminds me of a Rover 75 for gods sake.
Plug ugly!
I hope it's going to be reliable and not like other Merks developing problems like SRS , ABS lights etc coming on at a very young age and low mileage perhaps using electronics from japan and not only engines will help not to mention ripoff dealer servicing charges
Electronics from Japan?! German electrics from Mr Bosch GmbH I think you'll find!! LOL
This is another new model from Mercedes with the latest style of dashboard that is downright ugly !
Who wants a large display permanently stuck on
top of the dash that looks like an afterthought.
Great job, Mr. Robert Lesnik
Mercedes are on their way out, first we get the awful A Class, now this monstrosity. When will they learn that it doesn't matter how good it is underneath, if it looks this bad no one will want to try it in the first place. The dash top mounted TFT screen looks like an afterthought too.
Me! Who doesnt?!
I have had an issue with my ABS at just 6 months old but Merc have sorted it and at least its much more reliable than BMW's and Audi's. Nothing worse than an Audi for leaving you stranded.
Fantastic!! Are you looking the rest of Germany, this is how to style a car. Maybe you should try it sometime. It has flair, it is individual, it has style. Something all Audis and BMW's are missing.
The only thing that lets it down is that screen, I can see why they have done it but it is letting the fantastic interior down.
I have a current C class which is inly a year or so away from change so might be inline for one of these especially if it rides as well as this current model, unless Alfa have a new saloon out of course!
I think its fantastic (of course personal opinion) makes the droopy ugly 3 series even worse than it already is and makes the A4 look like a dinosaur.
Anybody over the age of seven, that's who and touch screens should be outlawed in cars - see BMW's superb idrive for how it should be done.
By style do you mean an old Rover 75 made of plastic left out in the sun to droop with a Mercedes grill grafted on for a laugh....
Bread with no butter... nothing to excite! Bland style with no attraction at all!
Have they finally got rid of the stupid foot operated parking brake?
I like the New Mercedes C-Class (2014) that has been officially revealed
It looks good!
This is down to dealers. If your Merc dealer has apathetic and self-important staff then change to another. Things improved a lot for me when I changed, have to go 20 miles further now though.
Well they have Renault power now, so not much hope then.
Could be worse could be like a 3 series which looks like a fat man sat on its nose and then added a grille from a 30 year old car
Yeah there should be a pensioner option that removes the touch screen for those funny old duffers who cant work out this young mans tech and need the tin from a Frey Bentos pie to control things.
Couldn't have put it better myself!
Like all German cars. Audi and BMW have terrible engine failure rates but better electrics. But they are all screwed together well.
You've got to be a robot!
Other manufacturers have the display as part of the dashboard or as a flip up type, so why not Mercedes ?
I can only guess its a cost reduction exercise. Means the manufacture of just one dash which can be easily fitted with the screen or not.
At the tender age of 58 i suppose i am an old duffer !
But having worked in electronics all my life, i know a poor design when i see one, and touch screens are not a good idea in cars.
It is interesting all this discussion about touch screens! I have one of these on top of my dash in my CLA and one matter how many times I touch it nothing happens!
It might have something to do with the fact that it is not a touch screen. AE reporters should get their facts right before printing misleading info.
The screen on the dash of the new C Class is not a touch screen, it is a TFT display.
Re the dash mounted display, according to the press pack, the display is controlled by a "Touch Pad" positioned so that both the driver and passenger can operate it.
So i stand corrected regarding the display type.
It still looks like an afterthought to me, others may like it.
I disagree completely. They centralise all controls and remove the need for dials and buttons every where (even if it turns out the Merc doesn't have one but in fact has a 'mouse') I guess this would be down to opinion but since everything in my house from lights to the TV to the fridge to the curtains can be controlled from my tablet I guess I just prefer it that way.
We will just have to wait and see how easy the Mercedes "Mouse" is to use.
A friend has just taken delivery of a new Vauxhall Insignia, and the touch pad controller is hopeless, with a very hit and miss selection of the functions.
Let's hope that Mercedes have made a better one.
One of the lads at work has recently got a new Insignia and has said the same thing. I would hope ze germans have put some more effort in.
Fingers crossed that Mercedes have found the right solution, BMW's i-drive works, if you don't mind turning and pushing the control wheel, a mouse should be easier to use.
I wonder where all the extra cm in lenght went. It grew 10/8 cm in length and wheelbase but only 2 of those ended up as more room for the knees in the rear !
In fact, even the 20 cm shorter C-class from 93`and the current small A-Class have more legroom to offer...
Mercede made such a fuss about the bigger room in the rear and that this is the reason why the car is longer.
And all that showed up in the rear are 2 more cm...
I hope they improve the engine choice for UK on this one, you seen the current offerings ? what happened to C250, 350 CGi ?? not even a C300 CGi that's offered elsewhere in world, pathetic ! I know they stated here there be a choice of 4, 6 cyl petrol engine but question is would they bring them to UK ? If not give me a Lexus IS anyday ! and 1.6 diesel for car this size, petrol 1.6 as in the C180 fine just ! but diesel & Renault sourced ?? WTF??!! it gets worse !
The Frechies have invested millions in improving real (rather than perceived) quality.
I can say from experience that the 2009> versions of Megane/Scenic have been faultless through more than 50,000 miles of heavy use.
Don't blame you for your comments, I used to think the same but if you get the opportunity to run a new Renault, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
laughed too hard over that one
Look at the INFINITI made by Nissan ,if you wish a comfortable large petrol engine car,
drove one for the first time last year while in Moscow ,Will think about them
Agree with you cargeek... and to mention renault engines have been ruling f1 for many years
You need to do more research before talking about renault cliff. Renault engines are in the top for reliability compare to german engines which has terrible failure rates. German cars are overrated and thats a fact
Yet another new car that's wider than its predecessor. How long before double parked cars start to meet in the middle?
Thank you. Finally I am not alone in thinking this.
Hello, I think that the new C-class 2014 interior is nicer than the E-class interior, don't you think ? I wonder if they will upgrade the E-class 2014 ? Thank you.
a 1.6 Diesel and from a Renault??!!! WTF??!?!?!? PMSL, I If I to pay a Mercedes price expect a Mercedes or a prestige designed/built engine !
Merc, I know you are trying to be younger in the UK by not bringing the non-sport design models here but that might cause you to lose your existing customers. I'm young so that doesnt matter to me(facelifted C250 CDI AMG owner) but just be careful.
What a let down poor repeated design when will merc move out of the 1990s
Unfortunately millions in terms of car development is really not very much. Renault do have Nissan helping them though, which is making a difference.
I run a Renault, and it's been reliable runner, but interior bits keep falling off and breaking.
Oh dear MB - this new C Class is not attractive at all is it? It looks like an Hyundai that's just started to melt in the hot sun. How come MB has lost its once distinctive, sharp Germanic looks? It is now aping several awful 'me too' designs from the far East. Why?? Stick to being distinctively German - not some cheap Korean look a like!
Yes I moved away from Mercedes after having to put up with rude/arrogant staff. I had a few problems with poor quality parts that they wouldn't change under warranty. Mainly because the parts were made in China! I see Aston Martin have the same problem!
I'm planning to buy a CClass and was told by the dealer that its the 2014 model (Elegance). Now I'm seeing that there's a new model which doesn't look like mine. I called the dealer up who says to me that the model coming out in June is an "Avant-garde" model and that the one he quoted for is still the latest model of our range. Does this make sense???
Does anyone know when the release date of c class amg?
I have the rs250 megane and have had e class mercs, jags and honda but the meg beats them all....with absolutely no issues.

Beasts of No Nation (Paperback)
A tour de force. Washington Post Book World
In this stunning debut novel, Agu, a young boy in an unnamed West African nation, is recruited into a unit of guerrilla fighters as civil war engulfs his country. Haunted by his father's own death at the hands of militants, Agu is vulnerable to the dangerous yet paternal nature of his new commander. While the war rages on, Agu becomes increasingly divorced from the life he had known before the conflict started a life of school friends, church services, and time with his family still intact.
In a powerful, strikingly original voice that vividly captures Agu's youth and confusion, Uzodinma Iweala has produced a harrowing, inventive, and deeply affecting novel.

We want the people of Price to know how great your hospital is.
We were repairing my mother's fence when my husband Bill had an accident with a saw. The emergency room staff, receptionist, nurses and doctor at Castleview Hospital were outstanding.
Then a few weeks later my mom took a fall, again the staff at the ER were great. To top that off we received a follow up call from the doc to check on my mom and advise on a procedure to help her pain.
We were very impressed with the caring staff at your hospital.

Detainees from the Uighur Muslim minority in western China have been approved for release. The government has said it would "serve no useful purpose" to continue to try to prove that any of these 17 men were enemy combatants. On Oct. 7, 2008, a federal judge ordered the Bush administration to release the remaining 17 Uighur detainees, but a federal appeals court stayed the order after the government appealed.

text: Nov 17, 2012 00:50 UNO can't hold early lead in Bethune Cookman loss UNO can't hold early lead in Bethune Cookman loss bY RYAN WHIRTY| Special to The Advocate Comments NEW ORLEANS — The University of New Orleans on Thursday couldn't complete a Big Easy sweep of Bethune-Cookman, which two days earlier lost to Tulane but bounced back to defeat the Privateers, 71-65. The victory was the first of the year for the Wildcats, who improved to 1-2; UNO fell to 1-2. The Privateers were led by senior forward Lovell Cook, who tallied 18 points. Bethune had four players in double figures, led by forward Adrien Coleman's 20. The loss was a painful one for UNO, which jumped to a 20-7 edge with hot long-range shooting and led the contest for nearly 35 minutes before foul trouble, poor ball handling and suddenly cold shooting allowed the Wildcats to post the come-from-behind win. UNO senior guard Rarlensee Nelson said the Privateers scouted Tulane's win over BCU earlier in the week and tried to develop a solid game plan based on the Green Wave's performance. That worked for the first 20 minutes Thursday, with UNO taking a 33-27 halftime lead. But whatever the Privateers did in the first half — including shooting nearly 54 percent from the floor for the initial stanza — decidedly didn't in the last 20. "After watching the (Tulane) game, we saw a lot of stuff we could do against (the Wildcats," said Nelson, who dished out a team-leading and career-high 14 assists. "During the first half, we were doing it. But you don't win games in the first half. You win games in the second half." It was hard not to compare the Privateers' performance against the Wildcats with the way the crosstown Green Wave played Bethune two nights earlier. Unlike Tulane, which found itself behind by double digits early, UNO dominated BCU at the outset, zipping to a 20-7 lead. The run was keyed by blistering shooting — UNO was connecting at 80 percent a little more than six minutes in. But while Tulane was able to come back and eventually swamp the Wildcats, UNO fell apart in the second half Thursday, especially late. After the Privateers stretched their lead to 56-44 with about seven minutes left, BCU went on a 27-9 run to close the game. Nelson said that, down the stretch, his squad simply didn't do the little things it needed to do to put the Wildcats away. "We needed to come up with the loose rebounds. We needed to box out," he said. "It's all about the 50-50 ball, and that's killing us right now." Whether by design or not, the Privateers relied heavily on long-range jumpers for much of the game, especially early: Only eight of UNO's 33 first-half points came in the paint. During the first half, it helped the Privateers that Bethune shot miserably, averaging less than 30 percent in the initial 20 minutes, and failed to take advantage of numerous scoring opportunities. But UNO gradually cooled offensively — although it still shot 53.6 percent for the half — and the Wildcats used a series of steals and big 3-pointers to close the Privateers' lead to 33-27 at halftime. UNO established more of an inside presence in the second half, thanks largely to the play of 6-foot-7 reserve forward Cory Dixon, who cleaned up on the boards — he had a team-leading eight for the game — drew several inside fouls and tallied three blocks, including a nasty one on BCU forward Alex Smith's layup attempt. Things went sour for UNO when it got into foul trouble and the Wildcats capitalized by hitting their free throws. The Privateers turned the ball over 14 times, and the Wildcats posted nine steals. BCU managed to leave the Crescent City with a two-game split at UNO's expense. "When you're on the road, the big thing is to get a split," BCU coach Gravelle Craig said. "You don't want to leave without a victory, and you have to get a big win on the road." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Jacks send five to NCAA...
The South Dakota State men's and women's track and field teams qualified five athletes for the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championship preliminary round...
The NCAA preliminary round (west site) is set to begin on Thursday, May 24 in Austin, Texas.
On the men's side, Jared Vlastuin and Jake Brinkmann qualified, while Mary Wirth, Brooke Garner and Amy Paulzine qualified for the women.
In total, the five athletes qualified in eight events. All athletes compete in field events.
Vlastuin is set to compete in the high jump and long jump. Vlastuin repeated as league champion in the long jump at the Outdoor Championships. He won with a qualifying mark of 25 feet, four inches, and broke the school record by two
inches and the stadium record by nearly one foot. The distance was best by
nearly 10 inches. Vlastuin also tied a season-best to qualify in the high jump with a mark
of six feet, 11 inches, to finish in third at the league meet. Vlastuin is the No. 13 seed in the long jump and the No. 45 seed in the high jump.
Brinkmann is set to compete in the hammer throw. His posted qualifying mark occurred one week prior to the league championships at the USF Relays. The mark of 195 feet, one inch broke the school record and a season-best by over one-half foot. Brinkmann is the No. 34 seed in the hammer. Brinkmann is set to compete in the discus, as well. The field received a late scratch on Monday night which opened up the spot that Brinkmann filled. He won the discus at the Outdoor Championships with a mark of 171 feet, eight inches, a season-best by nearly three feet.
Wirth repeated as champion in the high jump at the Outdoor Championships to qualify. She set
the meet record and tied the stadium record with a mark of five feet, eight and
one-half inches. The mark also tied a season-best set one week earlier at the USF Relays. Wirth is the No. 46 seed in the high jump.
Garner, two-time The Summit League's Outdoor Track and Field Women's Athlete of the Week, qualified with two school-record marks posted prior to the league meet. Garner set the record in the hammer at the Wayne State Classic in March. The 197 feet, nine inch mark was a school record by nearly 10 feet. The top mark of 173 feet, three inches in the discus added to the SDSU records at the USF Relays. Garner is the No. 16 seed in the hammer and the No. 21 seed in the discus.
Paulzine earned an invitation in the javelin after a school-record mark of 149 feet, nine inches on the same weekend as the other records prior to the league meet, but at the NDSU Dual. Paulzine is the No. 34 seed in the javelin.
Calvin Cammack and Jake Schneller narrowly missed the NCAA field in the pole vault and 800-meter dash, 1500-meter run respectively.
Cammack set the school record in the pole vault with a mark of 16 feet, nine and one-fourth inches in mid-April, one and one-half inches off the qualifying mark.
Schneller won the league championship in the 800 with a time of 1:50.95. His season-best time of 1:50.11 was under two seconds off the school record owned by head coach Rod DeHaven and 0.04 seconds back of the qualifying time. Schneller also posted the best Jackrabbit time in the 1500 at 3:47.33, 0.43 behind the qualifying time, despite minimal competition in the event this season.
For each individual event contested at each of the Championship Preliminary Round sites, the top-48 declared student-athletes are accepted into the competition.
Advancing to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships is achieved through performance in the Preliminary Round competition at each site. Twelve competitors from each individual event and a minimum of eight teams from each relay event move on from each Preliminary Round site to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
The 2012 NCAA West Preliminary Schedule is available at the beginning of this article.

What We Are Looking For vs. The Sixers
After a strong opener here come the division rival Sixers to Madison Square Garden for an afternoon affair. This one has slow start written all over it and the Knicks may be with Tyson Chandler who has what the team is calling flu-like symptoms. This is an important one for the Knicks who have to establish themselves as a factor at the top of the Atlantic. Andrew Bynum will not play. Here's what we are looking for today.
Tommy Dee
- Limit Nick Young and Dorell Wright- The Sixers have done very well to add shot makers from the perimeter and they rely on Young and Wright to make threes. The Knicks need to defend the perimeter and limit their 3 point opportunities in rhythm.
- Close Possessions- The Nuggets did a good job forcing the Sixers into a grind it out affair the other night, but they allowed the Sixers 14 second chance opportunities. The Knicks guards did an outstanding job rebounding the other night, specifically Kidd and Felton, and will need to have the same effort today verses the very athletic Sixers.
- Make Run-Stopping Baskets- Clyde calls them "timely hoops" and you really can't put enough significance on the ability to knock down a shot when the opposing team is on a run. Felton did it multiple times against the heat as did Melo, and for the Knicks to consistently be a factor at home this season they are going to have to consistently make big shots at the right time. They proved the other night they have the shot makers, so they have to step it up this afternoon.

Read: What Gary Bettman Should Do If He Cancels Another Season
In the Montreal Gazette, Jack Todd writes that the only thing left for the NHL is to shut the season down and contract six teams and then come back with a new commissioner.
He says of Gary Bettman, "If the deal you killed a season to get was so bad that you had to kill another entire season to get a different deal, then I'm sorry, but you're an idiot. If the owners have a shred of intestinal fortitude, they'll tell Bettman not to let the door hit him on the way out."
Earlier in the lockout, Ian White of the Red Wings said "I gotta be honest: I personally think he's an idiot. Since he's come in, I think he's done nothing but damage the game."

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö A man was severely burned and a baby injured in a house explosion in a triple-decker at 422 Mineral Spring Ave. on Tuesday morning.
Police and fire officials are looking at natural gas as the cause, although the incident remains under investigation. A large crew of National Grid officials, along with investigators from the state Fire MarshalŌĆÖs Office, were in and around the scene by the afternoon.
The violent explosion at around 10 a.m. tore the front corner off of both the second- and third-floor apartments, and then prompted a smoky blaze. Firefighters, including units from surrounding areas, responded quickly and continuously directed heavy streams of water at the flames, but the roof and the second- and third-floor apartments were completely destroyed.
Later in the day, Police Major Arthur Martins reported that the house was deemed a safety hazard and would have to be torn down. He said Mineral Spring Avenue would be closed to all traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) from Hope Street to Lorraine Street, and he did not know when it would be re-opened.
Several passers-by described seeing the shocked tenants inside the third-floor unit, where a woman and a man appeared to be both pushing at different sides of a door in an apparent attempt to get to a baby. All three made it outside, aided by the heroic actions of several men who happened to be in the area when the blast occurred.
A young woman who lived with her boyfriend on the first floor, along with their dog, also escaped without injury, and a woman who lived on the second floor was reportedly not home at the time of the fire.
However, police and fire officials said they were still trying to sort our exactly who occupied the building and were not releasing any names.
The injured man was taken to Rhode Island Hospital. He reportedly suffered burns to about 70 percent of his body. The baby was taken to Hasbro ChildrenŌĆÖs Hospital and the childŌĆÖs condition is unknown.
Robert Garrey, of Central Falls and his girlfriend, Christina Raymond, who lives across the street from the apartment house, said they were headed to a doctorŌĆÖs appointment and had just driven up the block when they heard the blast. They saw debris flying and the front walls of the house open up, where they could view the people inside. They quickly turned the car around, and Garrey ran to a side door facing Hurley Avenue.
Garrey said he and a couple of other men who had stopped to help entered the apartment house and kicked in several doors, trying to alert the tenants. He said he and others helped the couple on the third floor as they located a baby and made it outside.
ŌĆ£The man looked to be burned badly. His skin looked like it was peeling off,ŌĆØ said Garrey. The woman was unclothed, and he and the others tried to help her to cover up and leave with the baby, he said.
When asked if he had been nervous about entering the fire scene, Garrey said he simply reacted. ŌĆ£Anyone would have done that in that situation,ŌĆØ he said.
Several media reports identified others who helped the tenants evacuate as Jermaine Woods, an off-duty Providence firefighter, and Eric Silva, a first-floor tenant.
Anny Alvarez, of the Bronx, N.Y., said she had been visiting friends who lived across the street from the apartment when she heard a loud ŌĆśboomŌĆÖ that she thought was from a car accident. ŌĆ£Then, all the lights went off. I saw half of the building was down, and a naked woman trying to push something. There was no fire right then,ŌĆØ she said.
Alvarez said the woman seemed to have been coming from the bathroom and both she and the man been trying to get to a babyŌĆÖs room. She said she was touched by the way the man took care of trying to cover up the woman and the baby and getting them outside before considering his own safety. ŌĆ£He was burning and he was trying to cover his family up,ŌĆØ she said. She added that the woman ŌĆ£didnŌĆÖt get burned because of him. It was amazing to see a man care so much for his family,ŌĆØ she added.
A young woman who lived on the first floor stood holding her dog and watched tearfully as the firefighters continued to train water on the charred remains of the building. She said she had moved into the apartment only about five weeks ago, and didnŌĆÖt know what to think when she heard the loud blast. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs my boyfriendŌĆÖs birthday today,ŌĆØ she stated. ŌĆ£And now all this.ŌĆØ
Tenants in two buildings the St. Germain Manor public housing complex, directly across the street from the explosion scene, were evacuated to a community room as a precaution. An employee who works at the complex said that several tenants described the blast being loud enough to blow them off the couch they were sitting on.
Tony Pires, director of administration and the cityŌĆÖs public safety director, said the house had been vacant for a long time until mid-October, when tenants moved in. In September, the owner had taken out building permits for work to be done, including the installation of a new natural gas heating system. He said, however, that the cityŌĆÖs building and zoning office appears to have no record of the building inspector ever being called back to inspect the work, which is supposed to be done before tenants are allowed to move it. He added, however, that the determination about inspections as well as the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Until its recent renovations, the house, at the corner of Mineral Spring and Hurley Avenue, had been a target of break-ins and vandalism, so much so that someone had spray painted ŌĆ£No copper insideŌĆØ on an exterior wall.

The Frederic Remington Art Museum has set three consecutive first-of-the-month deadlines in its recruitment of a new executive director.
Recently posted advertising for the position states that applications will be accepted until April 1, a hiring recommendation will made by May 1 and a new executive director will be in place by June 1.
Edward A. LaVarnway, the museums executive director since 2005, wants to leave by June 1.
He has agreed to stay until his replacement signs on and is familiar with the job. Trustee and search committee chairwoman Julie H. Cliff has already said that shes confident a successor will be hired in plenty of time for him to leave as planned.
The recruitment ad sets the annual salary range at $46,000 to $50,000 with qualifications and experience the factors in determining how much will be offered.
The job description calls for an executive director who has experience in management, planning and grant-writing. Also, according to the ad, the chosen candidate will have a thorough knowledge of the fundraising and fiscal management principles and practices governing the administration of an art museum.
Mrs. Cliff said Tuesday that the search committee will interview as many candidates as it deems qualified and experienced.
There is no number, she said when asked whether there would be a limit on how many applicants would be interviewed.
But there will be a cutoff, Mrs. Cliff said, on the number of finalists.
I think the goal is to have three candidates, she said.
The committee is consulting a museum organization, the Washington, D.C.-based Museum Trustee Association, for advice in the recruitment process.
The other search committee members besides Mrs. Cliff are museum Curator Laura A. Foster, board President William J. Cavanaugh, Vice President Kathleen R. Wade, Secretary Dianne Drayse Alonzo, International Advisory Board member and museum benefactor Alan P. Newell and trustees Catherine B. Newell and Scott M. Wright.
The museum is located at 303 Washington St.

Edward M. Kennedy
Doug Mills/The New York Times
Edward M. Kennedy came to Washington following the trail blazed by his older brothers, John and Robert. He became a senator for Massachusetts in 1962, elected to fill the vacancy left by John's election as president, and held the position until his death, on Aug. 25, 2009, at age 77.
Mr. Kennedy received a diagnosis of brain cancer in May 2008, after he suffered a seizure and was airlifted to a Boston hospital. After undergoing an operation at the Duke University Medical Center in June, he managed to make a rousing speech at the Democratic convention in Denver but faded more and more from view afterwards.
In July 2009, as a divided Senate tangled over health care legislation, there was bipartisan consensus on one point: Ted Kennedy could make a big difference, if only he were there. Mr. Kennedy had not been on Capitol Hill since April. Colleagues routinely lamented his absence, which had been especially painful to Mr. Kennedy, the committee chairman, who had spent much of his career trying to expand health coverage. People close to Mr. Kennedy marveled at how his fight for his life could coincide so dramatically with a summer crucial to his life's cause.
As his health declined, Mr. Kennedy became more of an inspirational leader than a tangible one. He turned over his day-to-day committee duties to Mr. Dodd in the spring. Mr. Dodd called him on July 14 to tell him the health committee, known as HELP, would pass the health bill—whose centerpiece is a government-run insurance plan—the next day. "I called about 8:15, and he was already asleep," Mr. Dodd said. Mr. Kennedy called back at 7 a.m. the next morning sounding thrilled.
"Just bellowing with joy," Mr. Dodd said, "as excited as I've heard him in a long time."
Mr. Kennedy's enthusiasm was in keeping with his reputation as one of the last lions of liberalism, a full-throated defender of the policies the Democratic party pursued in the 1960s and 1970s. But within the Senate he had a reputation as one of the most effective members at building bipartisan coalitions.
When President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind bill was floundering in 2001, it was Mr. Kennedy he turned to and who saw it into law. In 2007, with the bill's renewal stalled, it was Mr. Kennedy Mr. Bush turned to again, despite bitter disagreements in the years in between on a wide range of issues, most notably the war in Iraq, which Mr. Kennedy opposed. When the Senate that spring seemed poised to pass a bipartisan bill on immigration, one of the names on it was Kennedy's.
In a posthumous memoir, "True Compass," published in September 2009, Mr. Kennedy called his behavior after the 1969 car accident on Chappaquiddick Island that killed Mary Jo Kopechne "inexcusable" and said the events might have shortened the life of his ailing father, Joseph P. Kennedy.
Mr. Kennedy, who left the scene and did not report the accident to the police until after Ms. Kopechne's body was found the next day, admitted in the memoir that he had "made terrible decisions" at Chappaquiddick. The account adds little to what is known about the accident and its aftermath but recounts how they weighed on him and his family. The book does not shy from the accident, or from some other less savory aspects of the senator's life, including a notorious 1991 drinking episode in Palm Beach, Fla., or the years of heavy drinking and women-chasing that followed his 1982 divorce from his first wife, Joan.
In a family synonymous with tragedy, Mr. Kennedy had his share of woes, many of which were self-inflicted. The car accident in Chappaquiddick permanently stained his reputation for many voters; his only bid for the presidency, a 1980 primary challenge, was easily turned back by President Jimmy Carter. In 1991, with his poll ratings among the lowest in Congress, he issued a public apology for his personal shortcomings. In 1994, after having divorced and remarried, and with a new sense of energy and determination, he bounced back to defeat Mitt Romney and hold onto his Senate seat. He never faced a serious challenge again, and at the 2004 Democratic convention in Boston, he was cheered and celebrated as the party's patriarch.

We're getting a lot of questions in the other thread about where to start. If you are new to this or running a half marathon (13.1 miles) seems like an unreachable goal - have faith. You will cross that finish line. We will help get you there regardless of how out of shape you are. You will surprise yourself and one day, you may even say "I'm just doing 13 today".
Here are the first steps that you need to take to get to the finish line in October.
1. Sign up for the Jimmy Fund Group;
2. Sign up for the Daily Mile. The Daily Mile is a social training site where members post training, get feedback, and encouragement. The community is very positive. Do NOT worry for one second about what your running times are. Join the SoSH Running Dogs Group on Daily Mile and send friend requests to members. Logging your workouts and sharing them will improve both your training and commitment. The only people who judge runners are non-runners. You'll find the running community and our Running Dogs members very generous with their advice and encouragement.
3. Go to a running store and get fitted for shoes. Dicks is not a running store. Somewhere near where you live is a store that specializes in running shoes and gear. It's staffed by runners. Go there. Get fitted properly for shoes. Try on several pairs - run with them. If they don't work - take them back. I can't tell you how many new runners get discouraged because they get injured because they aren't wearing the right shoes for them. There are lots of good brands and makes - find one that's right for you. Do not take those old shoes out of the closet and try and start training with them. Good running shoes will cost you anywhere between $70 and $120. Make it your gift to yourself. There's no shortage of running gear on the market, most of it you can do without, but the proper shoes are a necessity.
4. Start thinking hard about your fall race. Think about where and when you want to run. Whether you're running a race near your house or traveling some distance - there are no shortage of great races in the fall. You can find one that works for you. Here's where I'm asking you to take a leap of faith. A giant leap of faith. The reason runners run races has nothing to do with winning them. Races are large goals. Those goals will provide focus and motivation for you to train. Knowing you're going to run a half marathon is what gets your butt out the door. Once you've found your race, if registration is open, strongly consider registering. If registration is not open, mark the day on the calendar that it opens and sign up on the first day. Doing so will strengthen your commitment and is a significant step to crossing that finish line. Let us know in this race what race you are doing. You'll be amazed what this will do for you.
The general arch of this training will go something like this. Pick out a spring 5k. There is a race near you. Saint Patrick's Day is sort of the opening day of racing season in the Northeast. These races are fun and almost always end with beer. St. Patrick's Day is the perfect amount of time it's going to take you to go from couch to 5k. Let us know what 5k you're considering or if you don't know of one we'll help you find one. Sign up for a race!
Half marathon training programs generally span about 12 weeks give or take. You should start your half marathon training in the summer (likely July). When you start the program, you'll need a base. We'll get you there. A base for a half program is being able to run roughly 5 miles (I'm speaking very generally here) for your long run and maybe 10 miles in a week (these are rough estimates).
Sass a Thon's husband is a certified coach and is going to help us with specific training programs for you. Including how to bridge the gap between your 5k in March and your half in the fall.
Please post any questions you have about the goal of this fundraiser, running, gear, nutrition, and life in general in this thread. There's enough experience on this board to make a difference in your life. The SoSH Running Dogs are outstanding. Welcome.

Comments about Ibanez GRG270DXB Electric Guitar:
Got a great deal on this from Musicians Friend. Feels like my 1995 Ibanez Korean RG...sounds just as bad too!...If you are a beginner you will be fine...for a more experienced player...you will notice the muddy sound of the pickups. Setup out of the box was ok (had to lower the bridge). Overall I am always impressed with Ibanez...you get more "bang for your buck"...

MissyAtlantaHairAuburnNormal HairColor Treated HairPink Pewter Never Disappoints!!I love getting my Folica boxes in the mail!! Every time they're filled with Pink Pewter headbands that NEVER disappoint in their quality. This style was my 7th purchase and once again, I couldn't be happier. They can be worn casual with jeans and a t-shirt or dressed up for that special night on the town. I'm so impressed with how they always stay in place! No having to re-do my hair because of a fallen headband. If you're looking for a headband that is versatile and sure to bring lots of compliments, this is your brand!! You won't be disappointed with any of their many styles to choose from!

POTSDAM The 2012-13 OFA boys basketball team gained a great deal of notoriety with its 3-point shooting.
But the Blue Devils won their championships with defense.
On Saturday, coach Mark Henrys NAC Central Division co-champions returned their program to the state Class B Tournament and into the quest for the overall Section 10 championship by prevailing in a tenacious defensive showdown with Potsdam, 46-36, at SUNY Potsdam.
Meanwhile, in the Section 10 Class D final, Madrid-Waddington upended top-seeded St. Regis Falls 52-41. In the Class C final, St. Lawrence Central defeated Canton 48-37.
OFA, 19-1 and ranked sixth in the state, ended Potsdams three-year reign over Class B, a reign that began after seven straight titles by OFA.
Potsdam plays hard all of the time and is an outstanding defensive team. To beat them three times this season is a major feat, Henry said. Our defense was definitely the difference especially in that third quarter when we held them to three points.
Jack Manke played his best game of the season in the post and Colin Ross came off the bench and just gave us great energy again. He just never quits on a play and makes things happen.
And quickly.
Ross entered the game in the third quarter with OFA leading 25-22 and the two teams seemingly locked in a stalemate. But instead six minutes of mayhem ensued in which the Devils held the Sandstoners scoreless and reeled off a 13-1 run capped by a driving three-point play by Matt Piercey for a 38-23 lead.
Moments after Manke scored inside off a penetration assist from Pat Cosmo; Ross took a steal for layup. He followed with a fastbreak conversion and later made a flying block from behind to break up a lay-in attempt by the Sandstoners 6-foot-7 center Shawn Clark.
We played extremely hard and played very well defensively but we just couldnt get our offensive execution going, said Potsdam coach Brooks Bigwarfe. But OFAs defense had a lot to do with that. They have it all and should do very well in the state tournament. And I hope they take it home.
Senior Cosmo said that getting to the state tournament was amazing and that he and his teammates were excited about competing for the overall Section 10 title, which OFA last won in 2008 at the end of a five-year reign.
Cosmo and several of his teammates watched some of those games as youngsters and dreamed of winning a championship at Maxcy Hall.
We have talking about winning this championship since we were in fifth grade. Potsdam was a very tough team and as a team we just dug in a played great defense, Cosmo said.
Matt Piercey did a great job of staying with Konnor Bigwarfe who is a great three-point shooter and Colin Ross came in a just sparked us again. I dont even know what to call the energy Colin brings, he just plays the game right.
Doing everything right was also the signature of a balanced winning offense led by Kinnon LaRose, who scored a game-high 12 points with three assists and three steals. Breton LaRose tallied eight points with six rebounds, and Piercey finished with seven points.
The Devils never trailed after opening a 7-0 lead and answered every bid by Potsdam. The first retort came on a hurried 3-pointer at the buzzer of the first quarter by Cavan LaRose after a 3-pointer by Konnor Bigwarfe cut the difference to 12-7.
Bigwarfe led the Sandstoners with nine points and Will Coleman followed with eight including six in the fourth quarter.
OFA will return to Maxcy Hall on Wednesday for a 5 p.m. matchup with Class C champion St. Lawrence in the Section 10 semifinals. Massena (Class A) and Madrid-Waddington (Class B) will play at 7:15 p.m.
Madrid-Waddington coach Aaron Jones pointed to all 13 players on his team after his Yellow Jackets claimed their second straight Section 10 Class D championship at SUNY Potsdams Maxcy Hall. Emplying suffocating and larcenous on-the-ball defense to dominate the second half, the sixth seeded Jackets forged a victory over top-seeded St. Regis Falls.
It was Madrid-Waddingtons third straight win over an NAC division champion.
You should see this team in practice, said Jones after his 16-6 team retraced its steps to the beginning of last years trip to the state Class D championship game against Sackets Harbor.
Our bench really pushes our starters every day in practice to be better. If it wasnt for them, these accomplishments, like a Class D championship cant happen. Today, we were very active defensively.
Greg Thompson finished with 17 points and five rebounds and Wright used a 6-for-8 free throw shooting in the fourth quarter to cap a 13-point, four-assist effort.
While directing the offense against a tenacious St. Regis defense, Colin OBryan delivered 11 points and four assists.
We had a shaky start but we never stopped working hard, OBryan said. Once we got on a roll at the end of the season we worked even harder.
Our defense was great today, everyone stayed with their man.
St. Regis Falls Caleb Green scored 10 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and grabbed five rebounds. Brandon Votra added seven points and grabbed seven rebounds
This one is a tough one to swallow. Madrid-Waddington has been here before and that played a big factor in the outcome, St. Regis Falls coach Justin Todd said. They were active defensively and boarded well. But we had a tremendous season, something that put St. Regis Falls back on the map.
The Saints finished at 19-2.
St. Lawrence Central coach Joey Reome spoke to his team at halftime about getting the ball to his two All-NAC selections Zane Ramsdell and Josh White in the Section 10 Class C championship game.
The Larries listened as Ramsdell established himself inside forcefully in the third quarter as St. Lawrence Central expanded an 18-16 halftime lead to a victory and a repeat sectional title.
Ramsdell scored the first four points and tallied nine of the Larries 16 points in the third quarter, which produced a 34-27 lead.
We needed to get Zane involved more in the game. Zane and Josh White have led us all season long and they came through once again, Reome said.
Shane Fuentas then came alive for the Larries (10-10). Fuentas went 6-for-6 at the foul line in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
Ramsdell generated nine of his 14 points in the third quarter, grabbed 14 rebounds, collected five assists and two steals.
Jessi Greer tallied 11 points with seven in the second half.
Evan LaPoint scored 11 points for Canton.

Read: Bill Daly Says That The Two Sides Still Remain Far Apart/Number Of Issues Still To Discuss
In an interview with Bruce Garrioch in the Ottawa Sun, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said that after meeting with mediators last week it was clarified to him how far apart the owners and the players really are.
He says that there are a number of issues where the two sides are still far apart and very likely more than just the main three that have been talked about so much.
Daly says that the salary cap number is the latest big issue to develop as the players don't want the cap to go below $67.25 million and the owners are proposing $60 million. Daly says "That's a very artificially high cap based on 50-50 and where revenues are going to be. It would create a high floor along with a very high escrow withhold because clubs would spend to the artificially high cap and the artificially high floor. That's a huge issue."
He adds that the owners felt like with some of the concessions that they made they had "bought" the idea of 5 and 7 year contracts.
