AMERKS ROLL 9-1 IN EXHIBITION GAME VS. THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIONews | 9/30/2011 10:16:37 PM | Dan Peters
The Rochester Americans put together a dominating effort in their first game of the year together, defeating the University of Western Ontario Mustangs by a score of 9-1 at the Sports Centre at MCC in Rochester.
The Amerks were led offensively by Jonathan Parker who contributed two goals and an assist. Shawn Szydlowski (2+0), Marcus Foligno (1+1), Phil Varone (1+1) and Brayden McNabb (1+1) also chipped in two points apiece in the win. Between the pipes, Drew MacIntyre and Jeff Jakaitis combined for 12 saves as the Amerks out-shot the Mustangs, 51-13.
"It's good to get a game under our belt before our opening weekend, and the confidence boost with the win was great for us," remarked Parker.
Reflecting on his own performance, the right winger added, "You're always happy when you contribute to the team, especially when you get a win." He also claimed that it was special being his first game in an Amerks uniform "unofficially".
When asked to comment after the victory, Head Coach Ron Rolston said, "I liked our overall team effort in terms of how guys played. Certainly when we get into league play next week it's going to be a lot more difficult in terms of the competition, but I liked a lot of the habits we played with."
Rolston also noted that the team still has work to do in preparation for the season opener in Hamilton next Saturday.
"We have to go back and look at the film and focus on all the areas we want to get better in. We need to clean some things up offensively and have a good week of practice to be ready to go."
Kevin Baker scored the only goal of the night for the University of Western Ontario, while Josh Unice and Alain Valiquette finished with 42 combined saves in the Mustang crease.
After holding much of the territorial advantage over the first half of the opening period, the Amerks opened the scoring at 10:17, when Szydlowski put home his own rebound. After receiving a centering pass from the right corner off the stick of Riley Boychuk and seeing his initial shot denied by Unice, Szydlowski shoveled the loose puck through the five-hole of the Mustang netminder.
With two goals in a span of 2:53, the Amerks quickly extended their lead to 3-0 before the conclusion of the period.
First, Mark Voakes deposited another rebound from the top of the crease at the 16:54 mark. Corey Tropp drove the net down the left wide off the rush, and after Foligno's initial shot was denied, Voakes was there to poke the rebound behind a sprawled Unice.
Rochester once again lit the lamp with just 13 seconds remaining in the frame, as Foligno tipped a left point shot from McNabb over the blocker of Unice. Varone also picked up an assist on the goal, which came with the Amerks on the power-play.
The Amerks upped their lead to four goals 7:08 into the middle frame following a great individual effort by Parker. After making a nifty move to gain entry into the offensive zone, Parker picked the top-corner with a twisted wrister from the left circle.
The Mustangs finally got on the board to make it 4-1 at 13:40 of the second period off a fast break. Centerman Kevin Baker picked the right corner with a wrist shot over the glove of Rochester goaltender Jakaitis, who replaced MacIntyre at the halfway point of the contest.
Rochester-native Derek Whitmore responded for the Amerks less than three minutes later, sending a snapper from the left face-off dot to the back of the net. Zack Kassian tallied the lone assist, as he fed Whitmore with a slick pass from behind the net.
Rochester picked up right where they left off in the final period, widening the gap in the score to 6-1 just 33 seconds in with the man advantage. McNabb ripped a one-timed slapper from the right point through a screen past Mustang goaltender Valiquette, who also took over between the pipes at the midway point of the contest.
The Amerks netted two more goals midway through the period widening the gap in the score to 8-1, as Szydlowski and Parker both cashed in their second goals of the evening. Szydlowski finished off a tic-tac-toe passing play from the top of the crease, while Parker followed it up with another great individual effort, dangling around a defenseman in the low slot before lifting a backhand just under the crossbar.
Varone added yet another power-play goal at 16:35 from Nick Crawford, leading to a 9-1 final.
The Amerks will be off for the remainder of the weekend and will resume practice at 10:30 a.m. on Monday at the Sports Centre at MCC.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL
Some things never go out of style, and if there is an automotive equivalent of the classic tweed sport coat, it's the Mercedes-Benz W113 series SL convertibles. These "pagoda roof" models have been climbing in value in recent years, as more and more buyers discover their charms and their reliability. While you can find plenty of examples on collector car lots, this 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL for sale on Hemmings.com has seen just 75,000 miles and two owners over its 46-year life. The seller has reportedly owned the car for 43 of those 46 years, meaning that its history is likely well documented.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
The ArtWorks! Gwinnett board of directors has named Sally Corbett as the new executive director to help the nonprofit organization move forward with its mission.
ArtWorks! -- which was started in 2008 -- strives to promote Gwinnett's art offerings and culture to enhance the county's quality of life. The board of directors saw a need to hire someone to help with the day-to-day details.
"ArtWorks! Gwinnett is an organization that seeks to build support and visibility for the art organizations and artists of Gwinnett county, and at this point we are sort of in the beginning stages of (developing) the specific initiative," Corbett said. "That's a big part of my initial job here, to get out in the community, find out what the needs are, and then develop the initiatives with the help of the board and other volunteers. But we know that, definitely, a big part of the focus will be to try to raise the visibility, the public profile and public participation, and the arts and then also to seek funding for the arts in the county."
The organization is an independent initiative that branched from the Chamber of Commerce's Partnership Gwinnett, which strives to promote businesses, education and quality of life.
Caryn McGarity, ArtWorks! board co-chair, said the board of directors is thrilled to have Corbett on board because of her extensive public relations background.
Corbett is the former manager of communications for the High Museum of Art and she spent more than nine years with Emory University's arts program.
"I accepted this because I think that Gwinnett does have a great arts community and does have a great story to tell and has quite a few assets that the community should be proud of," Corbett said. "I want to encourage the citizens to come out and enjoy the arts organizations that are here, but also to encourage more visitors, especially people from the surrounding communities to come to Gwinnett."
Corbett said she hopes to see the arts community reputation grow and be viewed as rich, diverse and vital to the future of Gwinnett and she is excited about the organizations future.
"It's just starting up, (Corbett is) the only employee, she's the first hire, so it's going to take some time for her to evolve it and grow it, and we knew she had the perfect qualifications, and we have a lot of confidence in her that she's going to be able to take this to the next level," McGarity said. "It's going to take time, especially in this economy, but she can come in and rally the Aurora Theatre, and the Hudgens Center for the Arts, and Gwinnett Ballet, all these different art groups and different cultural arts groups can all be a part of this whole initiative, so it's kind of like the umbrella organization for everything."

Spurs guards Danny Green, left, and Gary Neal hug after a big shot in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. / Soobum Im, USA TODAY Sports
SAN ANTONIO - Danny Green and Gary Neal are new three-point shooting sensations and hope to etch their names into NBA Finals history with another breakout performance Thursday at the AT&T Center.
Just getting the opportunity is something they're adjusting to.
Green didn't even have a team three seasons ago after being cut by the Cleveland Cavaliers and wondered about his future in the NBA.
"There were many doubts," Green said. "I didn't know where (my career) was going, and I was losing confidence."
Neal hopscotched Europe - Turkey, Spain, Italy and back to Spain in three seasons - before getting a chance in the NBA. Even on the day Neal walked into the San Antonio Spurs' training facility in 2010, coach Gregg Popovich didn't know who he was.
"I was comfortable with the financial situation in Italy," Neal said. "With me getting married and wanting to start a family, I kind of wanted to be in the States. I never had a chance at the NBA. I never played summer league, never did a minicamp or anything.
"So when the opportunity came knocking, I said I'll try. Hopefully I'll be able to make the best of it, and I was able to make the best of it."
These guys are Spurs through and through, picked out of nowhere and taking advantage of an opportunity. In typical Spurs fashion, general manager R.C. Buford and Popovich wanted them to fill a role.
"Me and Danny both went through a lot of stuff together," Neal said. "We were guys that showed up two hours before practice to get shots up and to prove to the coaching staff that we belong and we're going to do whatever we need to do to get minutes."
Neal and Green surprised and amazed in San Antonio's 113-77 win vs. the Miami Heat in Game3 on Tuesday. Green had a game-high 27 points and shot 7-for-9 on three-pointers; Neal was 6-for-10 on threes and had 24 points. They outscored Miami's starting five by eight points as the team set an NBA Finals record with 16 three-pointers.
"Pop and R.C. obviously do a great job of finding guys in weird places," Green said. "We have a lot of foreigners on the team. Gary has come a long way. Took him a while to get into the league. I'm happy for him. He's playing well. We need him to. The Finals and playoffs, you have to play good basketball but also have luck on your side. You need guys to step up. Sometimes it comes from weird places."
Neal enjoyed his time in Europe, but as he and his wife, Leah, started to plan for a family, they talked about returning to the USA. The Spurs invited him to minicamp and the Las Vegas summer league in the summer of 2010, around the time they were getting married. They postponed their honeymoon.
"She decided it would be a good thing if we went to Vegas instead so I could make an NBA push," Neal said. "To play this game of basketball, you have to believe that your abilities are just as good as other guys'. I felt like I had the ability to play in the NBA. It was just a matter of getting the right opportunity."
After his summer-league performance, the Spurs offered him a three-year contract. He has been in and out of the rotation this season and wasn't much of a factor for the Spurs in the playoffs - until the Finals.
"As a professional, it's your job to stay ready," Neal said. "You never know when your number is going to be called. You don't know anything. So you have to come into the gym and continue to get your reps up and continue to prepare yourself for whatever assignment the coach decides to play you in. The last three games in The Finals I've been a steady rotation guy."
When the Spurs cut Green, Popovich and Green's college coach, North Carolina's Roy Williams, met with him and told him what he needed to improve, starting with his confidence.
"Coach Williams at North Carolina and I double-teamed him, talked to him about that sort of thing. And I think Coach Williams had a big impact on Danny's mental status," Popovich said. "Believing that he belonged. Not getting down if things didn't go well, to continue to push and to work. And to Danny's credit, he's done that. He's a pretty confident young man right now."
Green is averaging 18.7 points over three Finals games and shooting an astonishing 69.6% on three-pointers (16-for-23). Had someone told him a week ago that he would average more points than Miami's LeBron James and Dwyane Wade through three games, Green said, "I would have said you're lying. â?¦ Never thought in a million years that would happen."
Green played with James for one season in Cleveland but was stuck to the bench and waived after his rookie season. In Game 3, he swished a three with James defending.
"In practice Danny would play well for us, but he was behind some veteran guys," James said. "It was very tough for him to get on the floor. Also being a rookie too. But I've seen the talent he had. He showed the talent when he was in North Carolina. Once he got to Pop, Pop gave him confidence. You get the opportunity, you go out and make the most of it."
Now the hard part for Green and Neal: getting those same shots and making them in other games the rest of the series.
"Hopefully we can continue to shoot the ball as well as we did tonight the next games," Green said. "And play good defense and hopefully they continue to struggle a little bit."

I mentioned last week that when I judge a story, one of the simple things I look at is your setting. There are so many aspects to setting, so let's just look at a few:
1) Is your milieu intriguing? Many authors will set a story in the most blasé of places. Often, the story is set "somewhere in the USA". While for certain types of stories this may be completely appropriate, in most cases it's not. It's as if the writer has suffered brain death and couldn't bother to come up with a real milieu. In most cases, it helps if you choose a particular place to set your story, and a particular date.
2) Is the world fully created? If you're using a real-world setting, then "creating" that world is a matter of capturing it—learning its history, culture, and future. It's not enough just to research a setting, you have to know it, get it into your bones. This usually means that you must travel to that setting and spend some time there. You can't just blow through Amarillo, Texas and expect to really know the place.
In a science fiction tale, if you want to set your story on a planet, then creating a setting might require you to decide what kind of star system your planet is set in, along with the planet's composition, rotation, axial tilt, number of moons, type of atmosphere, and so on. You may have to think about how to create alien life-forms, and develop their life-cycles, and perhaps create their histories, languages, and societies. Just getting those kinds of details takes some concentration.
If you're creating a fantasy world, then you may have to look even further—into creating the flora and fauna of your world, along with cultures and subculture, the magic systems and economic systems, societies, languages, histories, religions, and so on.
So I look at how robust your setting is. I consider how fully developed it is. I ask myself, "Has this author put enough thought into the setting to create the illusion that this is a real place?"
3) Does your setting produce interesting characters and conflicts?
A well-developed setting has a profound effect on characterization. To a large degree, you're a product of your environment—of your culture, your society, your school system, your family influences, and so on. In a story, this must also be true.
So, I look at your world and ask myself, "How well has this author taken advantage of his or her milieu? Had she missed opportunities to make her characters more interesting?" If you're creating a fantasy world, and you develop a particularly fascinating subculture, then you may want to consider placing one of your characters in that culture.
But the setting doesn't just help develop characters, it also creates its own conflicts. Thus, if you have a story where a world is enshrouded by a continual electric storm, how does that affect your tale?
4) Now, once you've created a milieu, how well do you display that world?
Some authors don't show their settings well at all. I often see stories where there is no background, no mountains or forests in the distance. Often, the author doesn't bother to mention what time of day it is, or what the weather is like.
In other stories, authors even forget to mention the mid-ground. In other words, if they're in a small town, they give no details about nearby houses, streets, or crowds.
Other authors even forget to mention what is close by, so that when a character is sitting eating lunch at a table, someone may suddenly speak up—appearing out of nowhere.
Many authors don't involve all of the senses. They go "cinematic" on me, so that they only show me things from the outside, never referring to the sense of taste, or touch. These authors often forget to get into the heads of their protagonists, so that we don't hear their thought or sense their emotions.
Remember, the best-selling novels in almost every genre do one thing well above all others: they transport the reader fully into a well-developed milieu.
As you can see, I can't talk about settings in great detail in this small format, so I will be writing a book on the topic soon.
I now have an official Facebook page. You can "like" it here.

I adore these cards. The unique size of the cards and accompanying envelopes allows them to be enclosed within a regular, letter-sized envelope for a more formal mailing if you choose to do so. While the cards do not have a sheen, which would have been nice, for me, the modest simplistic appearance and design captures the essence of the holiday season and I'm am honored to send these cards to business associates, family and friends.

Full day training course offered at Usability Week New York City
Wireframing and Prototyping
Quick and cost-effective technique for identifying major usability issues early with sketches and paper. Perfect fit for Agile and Lean processes
Course Date: March 22, 2013
Wireframing and paper prototyping (also known as low-fidelity prototyping) is a low-cost, rapid iterative design technique that offers one of the best methods for gaining design insight early. Catching major usability problems early means you won't waste precious time, effort and money developing designs that may fail. (In contrast, user studies done late in the development process usually have their findings deferred until "the next release.")
In this course, you'll discover how to use lean UX prototyping medthods to increase collaboration among multi-disciplinary teams, and how it can save your company substantial time and money.

Knockeen Hills Poteen Reviews
18 Customer Reviews
I've enjoyed the strength and will continue to buy it.
A sensational product!
High in alcohol but low in quality. This may as well be just grain alcohol. the real stuff was never this way. Pot stills would never have given such high strengths. Where''s the flavour?
Really powerful if taken near but oh so good!!!
This surprised me. Found it in an liquor store in Massachusetts. Was expected something like Everclear and was happy to get something much better. Kept it chilled in a freezer (it does not solidify) and added a chip of ice in a shot glass. Really not bad at all (for you Americans, that means "it is really very good"). Mind you his US offering is only 160° proof. It is a lot easier on you than strong unflavored Vodkas.
The 90% stuff should not be drunk neat. Nearly pure spirits like strong póitín, moonshine or 190 proof Everclear will damage the tissues of the esophagus and other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Mix it, or get the 120 or at most the 160 proof version if you want to drink it straight.
Tried this at the Limburg Whisky Fair. A fantastic vanilla/bluberry after taste. Not at all harse or "explosive".
this stuff would take the fur off a running bear
my grandads home brew is almost as good as this but for a commercial poteen it aint half bad. drink with caution!
looking forward to trying this outalso its 4.5 units in one shot for this drink

day of high school. Shared our classestogether. Kind of a passion for art all
through high school. And kinda, just continued on 'till today.Collaborating for so long, we kinda have
a natural instinct with how each otherworks, who does what stronger than the
other. But everything's kinda put into thepot together, we both kinda work on
everything together.- A lot of the work we do really starts
with image making. And, I think we reallygrew up having, uh, an appreciation for
comics and wrestling and pop culture, andall these kinda things, and that graphic
language that we grew up with is somethingthat still really inspires us to this day.
And I think through that, it's sort ofdeveloping images that we really find some
narrative in meaning in. And then it kindof evolves from there into the studio as
these singular images that come togetherto start creating a bigger narrative and
juxtaposed to really make a full piece.- We've always been interested in surface,
whether it's like painting or print-making.- I think we like material that's really
tactile, and that can age and that canchange over time. So working with those
kinda things, the copper really changes,the wood, you know, really being able to
push the wood in the surface and work it.I think those are really important things
too, in the practice.- When we're creating work for a new show,
you know, always traveling to new places,like helps really inform the work,
exploring the culture. You just kindashuffle through what you can take in, and
like you're like one week or three daysthere, and you just grab as much visually
and bring it back to the studio and justkinda syhpon through it, and see what
comes out of it.- I do think it's really important to try
to speak to people in a style that theycan connect with, because I think the
images and the paintings and all that meansomething to us, but we really try and
leave it open for the viewer. So if youcan find that connection point in their
culture and in their language and in theworld that they're used to seeing around
them, you have a much better chance ofreally making an impact on them. That part
of the process is really important for us,and we do spend a lot of time trying to
kind of tailor that to each thing in someway. And then when that builds into the
greater pieces later on, it's kinda fun,'cause you get this little part of, uh,
show you might've done in China, and thenanother one from Lisbon, and that kinda
keeps growing as a part of the language, and I think it shows a time and a place.- And it's part of our practice, too, it
just helps fuel us, and gives us somethingto grab onto, create something new and
tell different stories through different lenses.

Our mission is to provide the most easy-to-use, reliable, and cost effective rail shipment tracking and fleet management system for rail shippers. No other product in the industry has the affordability, accessibility and ease of use of our product, Railcar Management System (RMS) - you can request a free 30 days trial of RMS as well as a price sheet - click the green button on this page to get started.
With the rail industry's release of R-EDI in 1996 and the subsequent releases of its Internet-based successors, NetREDI and now Steelroads Track and Trace, rail shippers gained access to a central source of free railcar sighting records (CLM). Many shippers wished to take the next step and have this data transformed into useful information that could be used for shipment and fleet management. What was needed was a system that interfaced seamlessly to this new source of data.
Railcar Tracking Co. responded. We are the first company to release a rail shipment tracking and fleet management system (RMS - Railcar Management System) that directly interfaces to R-EDI, NetREDI, and Steelroads Track and Trace. While our system will interface with other sources of CLM data, we pride ourselves on our commitment to finding ways to save rail shippers money.
Railcar Tracking Co. was started by responding to rail shipper's needs, it continues to grow this way too. We pride ourselves on being customer driven. Most features in RMS are the direct result of customer requests. Time and effort is spent on each customer to tailor RMS to their specific needs. We don't want to just sell you software; we want to sell you a solution! Our Professional Services group performs system integration and customization.
Our customers form a wide-range of industries such as: biofuels, fossil fuels, industrial gas liquids, specialty gases, chemicals, metals, minerals, agriculture, food & beverage, construction materials, forest products, short line railroads and fleet management companies. Although we target small to midsize shippers, many of our customers are in the Fortune 500.

As of Saturday, January 26, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — It was one of those seasons that all but define a career, a landmark year and ride through the playoffs that ended at the apex of the sport — a high school football state championship.
But when Deerfield-Windsor head football coach Allen Lowe, who not only led his Knights to the GISA Class AAA state title but won his 200th game along the way, was told he was named The Herald's John Reynolds Coach of the Year, he wanted to talk about his assistant coaches.
"It's a shame you can't name my two defensive coaches (the) Coach of the Year,'' said Lowe, referring to Rod Murray and Craig Rhodes.
The trio has been together in some form for a decade, and Lowe regularly praised both Murray and Rhodes during the season.
"We've all been doing this so long together. We feel its a group thing. It's not about one of us,'' Lowe said. "The way we get along is very special. You couldn't ask for anything better. We've been together for the last 10 years.''
Lowe wanted to thank just about everyone — his players, coaches and the community — for his memorable season.
"I'm thankful for everyone from the players to everyone on the whole coaching staff, especially Rod Murray and Craig Rhodes,'' Lowe said. "It's just one of those things. We're all one big family.''
Lowe said Murray and Rhodes are involved in everything.
"They are so instrumental in everything from the offseason conditioning to preparing for Friday nights,'' Lowe said. "They set an atmosphere that makes it conducive for the kids to work their butts off.''
Deerfield went unbeaten in Georgia, winning all 13 games, including a march to the state title game, where the Knights beat Heritage, 27-19, and former DWS player and assistant coach Kevin Prisant, who played for Lowe and was also once on Lowe's coaching staff.
The fact Prisant was a Lowe disciple says even more about Lowe as a coach and mentor in the rare showdown for a state crown between the teacher and the student.
It was the third state title in the last five years and fourth for Lowe since he returned to DWS in 2001. He won his first state title in 2002 and won again in 2008, 2010 and then this season. He played at Deerfield, began his head coaching career there in 1987 and then left after the 1994 season. But he returned after spending six years as the head coach at Calvary Day. His career record is now 208-101-3.
This year's Deerfield team went 13-1, and the only loss was to state power North Florida Christian in Tallahassee.
Lowe decided to play the private school powerhouse team last year to add a competitive game to the schedule in order to help his kids in the playoffs. After losing to North Florida Christian, 23-14, Deerfield went on a 12-game winning streak that ended with the state title.
"We knew we had a chance to be real good,'' Lowe said. "We wanted the kids to go out and do everything they could to reach those expectations. They did, and it makes it fun with kids like we have.''
That's what stands out to Lowe, the fact his kids embraced the game and were as one as a team, and that they gave so much in a way that lifted everyone.
"This year was a fun year,'' Lowe said. "The kids made it special. Even when you win, sometimes things aren't going as well as they could go. These kids reached our expectations just about every week. They enjoyed playing the game. They really enjoyed Friday nights. I think that was pretty evident. It was just a fun season for all of us.''

Processor manufacturers have traditionally increased CPU performance by shrinking a chip's circuitry so it can run faster, he notes. This method has dramatically increased computing power over the past few decades, but the process is hitting physical limitations. Specifically: The necessary electrical charge causes those faster chips to get too hot to handle. Processor giant Intel has noted the growing problem of heat in recent years, too.

Broken Sissy
Prior to begining a male's sissy training, one must break his spirit in the dungeon! Though it might seem cruel, in order to ensure a docile and meek sissy, he must know he is truly a bitch and no longer the "boss" of his household. Many wive's with sissy husbands will tell you the first few months of training was the hardest, but the result was worth it!
So, when in doubt, be sure to
break a sissy husband's will
before you actually allow him his panties and bra!

WILLIAM LEWIS, a descendant of one of the earliest of the pioneers, and a prominent citizen of the town of Lebanon, was born in this town, October 30, 1812. His father, Samuel Lewis, a native of Connecticut, removed from that State to the town of Lebanon at an early day, purchased a tract of timbered land, and upon it erected a log house in the woods. After partially clearing his farm, he sold it in 1815, and purchased another tract of forest land, containing one hundred and forty acres, some three miles distant from his first selection, but in the same town, the second tract being now occupied by his son, the subject of this sketch.
The greater part of this land was cleared by Mr. Samuel Lewis, who resided upon it until his death. Before removing to Madison County, he married Miss Esther Gibbons, a native of Connecticut. Twelve of their fourteen children grew to maturity; namely, Nathan, Ann, Lucinda, John, George, Esther, Benjamin, Edwin, William, Matilda, Mary, and Charles.

Scholarships for Twins
Twins are not just double the trouble; they are double the cost when it comes to a college education. Luckily, there are enough scholarships for twins out there that double duos can make quite a dent in the cost of their education.
What Kinds of Scholarships Are There?
When it comes to scholarships for twins, there are two basic kinds; scholarships that are given out by the individual colleges and universities themselves, and scholarships that are awarded by groups and organizations that have been set up to help twins, and the families of twins, finance their education.
Some Popular Scholarships for Twins
These first scholarships are colleges that are known to have significant scholarships and/or discounts for twins who choose to attend the same university:
Randolph College in Lynchburg, Virginia offers a 15% discount on tuition when both twins are enrolled. This can add up significantly over four years, as the discount is usable each year.
Sterling College in Sterling Kansas has had a Twin Scholarship program which it has maintained for the last two decades. Each twin (or multiple birth) student receives a 50% tuition scholarship. This amounts roughly to $9,000 in savings per twin.
Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania is an all-female school that offers an annual scholarship for twins and triplets. It will pay 45% of each student's annual tuition.
Carl Albert State College in Poteau, Oklahoma offers the Paula Nieto Twin Scholarship of $200 each annually to each twin attending the college.
Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio offers a full tuition scholarship to pairs of twins attending their college, which amounts to two for the price of one. Both need to be enrolled full time at the college.
Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in Miami, Oklahoma offers a Twin/Triplet Dorm Waiver which covers the amount of semi-private room expenses for each twin or triplet who attend NEO together.
Kelley School of Business at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana offers the Layton Frazier McKinley Scholarship which is given two twins with a preference to identical twins. Students have to maintain a 3.33 GPA with a first choice of accounting as their major at the school
Eastern Michigan University awards The Furlotte Twins Endowed Scholarship is for upperclassmen enrolled in the Elementary Education.
If Twins are not planning on attending the same college, they may still qualify for some scholarships through outside organizations. There are a number of local "mothers of twins" clubs that fund individual scholarships. Most "mothers of twins" clubs belong to the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs.
The annual Twins Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio awards a $1,000 scholarship to a pair of twins to help with college expenses. The winning pair of twins must be seniors in high school and have attended and registered at least three of the last five festivals.
The Northwest Association Mother of Twins Clubs awards several scholarships per year to those candidates who qualify as a multiple birth and are looking to further their education. Once known as the Twin Scholarship Fund, it is now called the Shan Pynes Scholarship.

Sustainability at Work
In 2008, the Garden stopped selling bottled water, and in 2011, the Garden expanded its dishwashing and storage areas in order to change from using disposable plates, bowls, and flatware to using reusable chinaware. Also in 2011, the Garden began incorporating composting of food scraps and appropriate materials into its café operations. With the help of our customers, the Garden was able to divert 38 tons of waste from the landfill in 2013 by composting and recycling.
The Chicago Botanic Garden has partnered with ReCORK to recycle wine corks from the Garden View Café and on site special events. Be part of the effort. Save your used, natural wine corks (no plastic or metal, please) and bring them to the Garden View Café. Recycled cork can be used in flooring tiles, building insulation, craft materials, and sports equipment. ReCORK's recycling program also educates audiences about the role cork forests play in curbing climate change, and encourages companies to make more sustainable products.
Please note: No outside food or beverages are allowed in the Garden View Café or on the decks of the Visitor Center. Please use the designated picnic area located adjacent to parking lot 2.

Over budget with credit to spare?
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
Why do I get a warning on the "pick your team" page that i'm over budget when I still have credit left? I thought the restriction of 175 was just applicable to the first round. I now have 178.9 total but if I go above 175 I get a warning telling me to sell a rider. I don't see the point in having more credit than you are allowed to use.
I'm not the brightest so I may be missing something?

Mariemont High School senior Morgan Renner wrote a creative writing piece titled "Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology" and was judged the best of all the writing submissions from the city of Cincinnati by the historic Mercantile Library in downtown Cincinnati.
Morgan received a yearlong membership and cash prize during the recent Day Bequest Luncheon, and read a section of her submission piece aloud.
Each school in the Greater Cincinnati area chooses its own winner, but it is the Mercantile Library staff that judges the writing submissions and selects the best piece.
Mariemont High School English teacher Cheryl Toepfer nominated Morgan for the award, and the Mercantile Library took it from there.
"I definitely didn't expect to win anything, and it was nice to be selected for the award," said Morgan. "I was honored to be chosen as the best of all writing samples. It was really a surprise."
The guest speaker for the luncheon was Thom Atkinson, who is a working author and playwright who has won many awards for his work, most recently an Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award for 2012.
Being a senior, Morgan is enjoying her time in high school but is definitely looking toward the next phase of life.
She is keeping her fingers crossed that she gets accepted into Savannah College of Art and Design, where she will possibly double major in Creative Writing and Sequential Arts. Morgan and her family live in Mariemont.

Maserati GranTurismo: $126,900. Aston Martin Rapide $211,610. Ferrari 458 Italia: $227,325. Ford Mustang: $23.105. If you're looking for the thrill of driving a sports car while still keeping a roof over your head, then you may want to consider one of the slightly more affordable options below. All these sports cars have a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) below $26,000 and several offer potentially steep discounts off MSRP based on what other people paid for the same vehicle in the last 30 days.
Don't expect a lot of negotiating room on the Hyundai Veloster. Hyundai's recently introduced youth-targeted model is experiencing solid sales with consumers shelling out slightly more than MSRP over the last 30 days. The Hyundai Veloster features hip, distinctive styling, including a masked third door and favorable fuel economy at 28 mpg city/40 mpg hwy.
Distinctive styling, character, fun-to-drive and good fuel economy are the among the MINI's most attractive features. There's rarely a car that is often described as "cute" yet still adored by men and women alike. The MINI Cooper Hardtop comes equipped with a 121-horsepower/1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine and gets 29 mpg city/37 mpg hwy.
As American as baseball and apple pie, the Ford Mustang appeals to a broad audience with its classic good looks beloved by muscle car enthusiasts, housewives and teenagers alike. For 2012, Ford has revived the high-performance Boss 302, (440-horsepower/0-60 in four seconds), which Ford hasn't sold since the original went out of production in 1970.
Value meets performance with the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the sportiest model in Hyundai's lineup. A long list of standard features, sleek modern styling and two respectable engine choices combine with a friendly sticker price and a 60- month/60,000 miles warranty to make it worthy of consideration for value-oriented sports car fans.
The Chevrolet Camaro is another classic American muscle car that woos those with a need for speed and a need for affordability. The V6 engines got a boost of power for 2012 and the ZL1 super-charged engine (580-horsepower, 556-lb.-ft. of torque) makes a comeback. The Camaro was the sales leader in the sports car segment last month, just edging out rival, Ford Mustang.
With a 20-year reputation as an affordable roadster, the Mazda Miata packs in satisfying open-air performance without having to pack an enormous engine, the only engine offering is a 167-horsepower/2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine.
The sport-tuned version of the Volkswagen Golf, the Volkswagen GTI, may not be the most powerful or most nimble sports car on the road, but it might just be the most well-rounded. The Volkswagen GTI features an upscale and roomy interior, respectable performance, providing a mixture of comfort and sporty drive.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse features bold, youthful styling and comes with the option of a standard 162-horsepower/2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine or a 265-horsepower/3.8-liter, six-cylinder engine. Power and performance may be lacking compared to its competitors, but for those who crave a super sporty aesthetic more than a powerful, robust engine, the Eclipse will not disappoint.
If you're looking for a muscle car that has a spacious enough interior to double as a family car, the Dodge Challenger may hit the mark. Muscle car buffs have a tough choice between the Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, so it may just come down to good-old-fashioned loyalties or nostalgia.
The priciest of the lot, the Nissan 370Z features sexy, dare we say Porsche-esque exterior styling. A host of standard features, a powerful engine and near-luxury refinement elevate the price, which might drive some people straight for it, while driving others straight to less expensive choices on our list.
Be sure to research current market pricing on any new car before you buy. Visit www.truecar.com to see what other people paid for a particular new car by make/model/trim in the last 30 days and connect with Certified TrueCar Dealers offering a fast and hassle-free car buying experience – buying a car has never been easier.

Grim wins the 182-pound weight class at the Open.
Colin Grim's story is a familiar one in the high school ranks.
A year ago, Grim was on the outside, looking in when the State Open championship took place. He placed in the Eastern Connecticut Conference championship, but failed to do so in Class M, so his season was done when the Open came around.
"I would go down to the bomb shelter (Ledyard's wrestling room) and work with some boys, but I never had the chance to come here," Grim said.
On Saturday, it was the 182-pound wrestler's turn.
Ledyard brought 11 wrestlers to the Open, but in the championship round, there was just one remaining — Grim.
"He had a bad end of the season last year, didn't place in anything, but I knew he was tough," Ledyard coach Steve
Bilheimer said. "He's put in a lot of work and is very coachable. He deserves to win."
Grim did just that as he captured the Open championship for his division.
Here are the stories of how Grim and five other local wrestlers fared in their State Open championship battles at the Floyd Little Center in New Haven.
113 pounds: It was a battle between two wrestlers from the Eastern Connecticut Conference as East Lyme senior Kareem Small met Windham senior Mike Ruffino.
"We've wrestled all through our youth career and in high school," Small said. "We've wrestled pretty much every year, so there's a lot of familiarity — I know what he does."
Small took advantage of that early as he scored the early two points with a takedown just a minute into the match.
But Small found himself in trouble in the second period when Ruffino was able to get a cradle hold on him and was
seemingly on his way to rolling Small on to his back.
That's when the official's whistle blew.
"I didn't see anything bad about it. I don't know why they stopped it," Ruffino said.
But when Ruffino thought about it, he said that Small had tried to stop the move and in so doing, got his arm into what could have been considered a dangerous position for injury.
"It was a very difficult situation, a kid has a guy in a great pinning combination, on his way to taking him over on his back and to stop the action at that time, I can't say I agree with it," Windham coach Pat Risley said.
The whistle allowed Small to regain his composure and on the restart, he fought his way back to neutral to take a 3-0 lead into the final period.
East Lyme coach Ed Lorah said he agreed with the "potentially dangerous" call in the second period because his wrestler was "really bent up."
Page 2 of 3 - In a championship match, you generally don't get a chance to re-visit the move that almost worked, but Ruffino almost got the chance in the third period. Ruffino got the takedown, but never could get Small in a position to roll him over.
"He was blocking me good that time," Ruffino said.
Small finished with the 3-2 win.
"I just won, but I'm not the type of person to flip out," a calm Small said after the win. "I'm looking to win the New England title (this weekend), that's more important to me."
126 pounds: Bacon Academy senior Matt McAllister picked up two points early on a takedown just 45 seconds into his match with Conor Caffrey, of South Windsor. He turned that into a four-point advantage in the second period and then went up by five in the third before Caffrey scored on a takedown with 1:18 left in the match.
"We get trained by our coaches to keep wrestling no matter what happens and I just kept wrestling and it worked out for me," McAllister said.
The senior escaped from the takedown and then scored one of his own to win the match, 7-2.
"I didn't worry too much about the score," McAllister said. "It's unreal (to be a State Open champ). Words can't describe how I feel right now."
132 pounds: Howie Kilpatrick has had one heck of a junior year so far. He was a key member of the Bacon Academy boys soccer team that made the state championship match and he followed that up with a State Open wrestling championship.
"It's been a long (two) seasons, but to get into the final for both, it's been phenomenal," Kilpatrick said. "I definitely expected to be here. The past two summers I trained really hard and I've been wrestling for a long time. I work as hard as I can in the practice room. I really wanted get that first place. It was the only thing I was thinking about the whole time."
Kilpatrick tossed Geovanni Medina in the first period of their match and turned him on his back to take the early 5-0 advantage. He finished with a 7-4 win by decision to keep his wrestling season going. He'll compete for the New England championship next.
"I think I'm ready. I'm going to go there and give it my best," Kilpatrick said.
182 pounds: To reach new heights, Grim said he had to become a smarter, more defensive wrestler.
"I look at the clock more," Grim said. "If there's like 10 seconds left, I shouldn't let a guy up because all of my matches are close. They're only (decided) by two or three points. I became match smarter."
Page 3 of 3 - Such was the case on Saturday as he just edged out Jimmy Mcdunnah of Wethersfield.
The Ledyard wrestler threw down McDunnah just 15 seconds into the match to take the early 4-0 advantage.
"I've actually got really good with hips this year, so I knew that would be a strong point, and I at least would get in there once, but it was unexpected when I got it there — it just came naturally," Grim said.
Late in the match, McDunnah did get a strong hold on Grim's leg. — "I was scared for my life," Grim said with a laugh — which made the Ledyard wrestler nervous since he held only a two-point lead. But Grim was able to extract himself and hold on for the 5-3 win.
220 pounds: Bacon Academy's P.J. Sawicki and Glastonbury's Andrew Cavanna battled right down to the final whistle.
Sawicki held the slim 1-0 advantage through the first two periods until Cavanna scored a point of his own, getting back to
neutral. Then, with 1:22 left in the match, Cavanna caught Sawicki for the takedown and the two-point lead.
Sawicki fought back to neutral, but saw his hopes for a comeback end when Cavanna took him down again with six seconds left in the match for the 5-2 win.
"I just let my guard up for a little bit," Sawicki said. "You can't afford to do that in a finals match because whoever makes the first mistake (loses)."
"Absolutely not," Voiland said when asked if he was disappointed for Sawicki. "He's only been wrestling for three years. I know he's disappointed like he was last week, but he pulled himself together (at the state championship) and finished third. He pulled himself together again this weekend and made it to the finals."
285: Wolfgang Fiasconaro was looking up to Tobias ("Thor") Lichtenstein for most of their heavyweight match.
"He's pretty big," Fiasconaro said.
But the old adage worked for the Windham senior: the bigger they are, the faster they fall. Fiasconaro snapped down the
Hall High School wrestler for two points, fought back to neutral on another occasion and got a stalling point to claim his 4-1 victory.
Fiasconaro was the only State Open champion for the Whippets who finished tied for second overall with South Windsor.
"That really surprises me," Fiasconaro said. "I was expecting all my boys to come through, but we still have bumps and bruises. Some people still have hurt ankles and ribs, but it's all good."
