Yesterday, Andy Stickland at 590 The Fan in St. Louis reported that Jason Arnott failing his physical with the Rangers may not have been fully injury related as the coaches/players and GM were not on the same page.
Today, Strickland expanded on that further saying that there may have been some miscommunication inside the Rangers organization that led to the signing blowing up.
On January 26th, the Rangers and Arnott agreed on a one-year deal worth $1.6 – $1.7 million.
…while Strickland is still being very cryptic, I can only assume he is inferring that Tortorella and Sather had differing opinions on signing Arnott or possibly his role with the team. I still wish if Strickland is going to post something like this he'd be more specific as it leaves a lot to be desired.
…doubt we'll ever really know what happened. Especially with how tight lipped the Rangers are on everything.

Localized laser chemical processing of tungsten films5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583825View Description Hide Description
A focused argon‐ion laser beam at 514 nm was used to thermally induce localized tungstendeposition from a WF6:H2 mixture. Tungsten lines were deposited on silicon wafers coated with either boron nitride (BN) or polyimide. Typical linewidths range from 0.5 to 10 μm, and the thicknesses from 0.1 to over 1 μm. Linewidth correlated most strongly with laser power, while the thickness correlated best with the laser fluence delivered to the sample. A minimum threshold laser power is needed to attain the temperature for deposition. The process is self‐limiting since the depositedmetal increases the surfacereflectivity and thermal conductivity, thus increasing the threshold laser power. A feedback system based on measuring the reflected laser power during deposition was used to modulate the incident power and defeat the self‐limiting nature of the process, thus allowing tungsten lines to be connected. Tungstendeposition and etching using other gases are reported for contrast with the deposition using WF6:H2 mixtures.
Time‐resolved spectroscopic studies of the ultraviolet‐laser photolysis of Al alkyls for film growth5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583678View Description Hide Description
Time‐resolved optical emission spectroscopy, with a resolution of ∼10 ns, was used to investigate the formation of excited photofragments during KrF laser‐irradiation of trimethylaluminum (TMA) and triethylaluminum (TEA). The gases were introduced into a vacuum chamber as pulsed molecular beams expanding from a free‐jet nozzle. The time‐dependence of the fluorescence intensity was measured at various positions, corresponding to different gas pressuresP, along the molecular beam. In the case of TMA, the primary peaks observed were the Al 4s 2 S→3p 2 P atomic transition and the CH A 2Δ→X 2Π (0,0) band. The CH intensity I CH following a laser pulse decreased exponentially with a 1/e decay time τCH ranging from ∼530 ns, in agreement with the radiative lifetime of CH 2Δ(v=0), in the low pressure region of the molecular beam, to ∼150 ns at high pressures. The decrease in τCH with increasing P TMA was due to collisional quenching. The decay of the Al emission intensity I Al was nonexponential since the radiative lifetime of the Al 2 S state, 6.8 ns, was less than the laser pulse width, ∼15 ns. The rise times of I Al and I CH, on the other hand, were both <10 ns indicating that CH, like Al, is formed photolytically rather than through subsequent collisions involving photofragments. Substituting TEA for TMA suppressed the CH signal while a new molecular band due to AlH [the (0,0) band of the A 1Π→X 1Σ+ transition] was observed in addition to the atomic Al 2 S→2 P transition. The rise time of I AlH was also <10 ns indicating that it too was formed photolytically. τAlH was ∼80 ns in agreement with the published AlH radiative lifetime. The significance of these results on the mechanisms of TMA and TEA photodecomposition and C incorporation in Al films grown by KrF‐laser photolysis is discussed.
Ion species dependence of focused‐ion‐beam lithography5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583679View Description Hide Description
The dependence of the ion‐beam lithographic characteristics of both poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) positive resist and chloromethylated polystyrene (CMS) negative resist for different ions has been studied using a Au–Si–Be source. Demonstrated have been 50 nm lines in 300‐nm‐thick CMS using 200‐keV‐Be+ +ions. The resist sensitivity increases with decreasing ion range, i.e., Au+>Au+ +>Si+>Si+ +>Be+>Be+ +, and focused‐ion‐beam (FIB)resist sensitivity is 10–100 times larger than that for 20‐kV‐electron beam. Moreover, lines written in both resists become discontinuous at low dose for both Si and Be ions, which may be caused by shot noise or by a jet‐like protrusion on the end of the Taylor cone shape of the ion source.
Subsurface cobalt diffusion in silicon single crystal from infinitesimally small cobalt diffusion source5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583680View Description Hide Description
The cobaltdiffusion, from an infinitesimally thin source, in siliconsingle crystal has been investigated in the temperature range of 700–1000 °C. Radioactive tracer and secondary ion mass spectroscopic techniques were independently employed to determine diffusion profiles. The diffusion coefficient is given by 0.68–1.35×10− 9 exp(−1.5±0.1 eV/RT) cm2/s. These diffusion coefficient values are several orders of magnitude lower than previously reported values obtained using thick cobalt films as the source of diffusionanneals carried out at higher temperatures. The differences in the experimental conditions and their influence on the diffusion coefficients are discussed.
Stability of polycrystalline silicon‐on‐cobalt disilicide–silicon structures5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583681View Description Hide Description
Stability of the polycrystalline silicon–CoSi2–single crystalline silicon sandwich structures, at temperatures in the range of 600–950 °C, is investigated. It is found that at temperatures above 800 °C, the structure is unstable whenever the polycrystallinesilicon is undoped or boron (i n s i t u) doped. At temperatures >800 °C, silicon migrates to the crystalline substrate and CoSi2 migrates to surface, finally resulting in a structure where no polycrystallinesilicon was left on top of the silicide in a manner analogous to solid‐phaseepitaxial process reported earlier in literature. However this exchange of place between polycrystallinesilicon and CoSi2 did not occur when the phosphorus (i n s i t u)‐doped film was used. The structure ''phosphorous (i n s i t u)‐doped polycrystalline silicon–CoSi2–single crystalline silicon'' was stable at 900 °C in argon, nitrogen–15% hydrogen, or PBr3doping ambients.
Electrical properties of SrF2/InP (100) diodes and SrF2 thin films5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583682View Description Hide Description
Thin films of SrF2, with a lattice parameter close to InP, have been grown by sublimation under vacuum on the semiconductor. This paper mainly deals with the electrical properties of the metal/polycrystalline SrF2 layers/n‐type InP (100) structures. For sweep rates greater than 10 Vs− 1, the capacitance–voltage characteristics do not show any significant hysteresis. An important modulation of the surface potential of InP is observed. The surface state density, in the depletion and near the accumulation regions of the semiconductor is very low. For low‐voltage sweep frequencies a hysteresis occurs and is interpreted in terms of low‐ionic conductivity in the polycrystalline fluoride layers.
Reactive ion‐etching‐induced damage in silicon using SF6 gas mixtures5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583683View Description Hide Description
Damage introduced in silicon during reactive‐ion etching (RIE) in SI6 gas containing 10 Vol % of H2, He, N2, O2, or Ar has been investigated using Schottky barrier measurements and Rutherford backscattering. RIE was performed at 0.1 Watt cm− 2 power density with the radio frequancy (rf) cathode covered with a quartz plate. The annealing effect on damage was studied at various temperatures up to 800 °C in dry N2. The results indicate that the damage has two components namely, a shallow near‐surface region with lattice damage and a deep layer containing discrete defect centers which act as donors. The extent of the deep damage layer is the net balance between two competing processes: (a) the etch rate, and (b) the rate of damage migration into silicon. However, the damage has been found to reach a saturation level after RIE for 1 min in all the gas mixtures studied. The results also suggest that RIE in SF6+10% H2 gas mixture causes a deep damage layer which could, however, be annealed at 150 °C aided significantly by the passivation of defect centers by hydrogen permeated during RIE. On the other hand, the damage induced in SF6+10% Ar‐etched samples has been found to anneal at 800 °C indicating there by a higher level of lattice damage or amorphization of the near‐surface layer of silicon. Therefore, the mass of the bombarding ion significantly affects the nature of the damage layers.
Etching of Si by SF6 in a radio frequency double cathode5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583684View Description Hide Description
Experimental measurements in a modified reactive‐ion etching system using SF6 show that the inclusion of an electrode connected to the cathode dramatically reduces the self‐bias voltage and peak‐to‐peak radio frequency (rf) voltage on the cathode. Etch rates with silicon of 0.3 μm min− 1 were obtained at pressures of 0.1 Pa with a self‐bias voltage of around 100 V. The variation of etch rates, self‐bias, and peak‐to‐peak voltages are presented for a pressure range of 0.1 to 10 Pa and various cathode configurations.
Application of reactive‐ion‐beam etching to recessed‐gate GaAs metal–semiconductor field‐effect transistors5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583685View Description Hide Description
Dry‐recess etching for GaAs metal–semiconductor field‐effect transistors (MESFETs) is developed using reactive‐ion‐beam etching (RIBE) with the etching gas of BCl3. Barrier height and ideality factor of the diode on 200 V bias‐voltage RIBE‐etched surface are 0.8 and 1.2 V, respectively, after 400 °C annealing. The damage layer caused by RIBE is very thin and there is no evidence of any influence on field‐effect transistor(FET) characteristics, using RIBE for recess etching. A 0.4‐μm‐gate length recessed‐gate MESFET is successfully fabricated with transconductance of 140 mS/mm. Uniformities of the threshold voltage, saturation current, and transconductance are improved, compared to those for a wet‐chemical recess‐etched FET.
GaAs and AlGaAs crystallographic etching with low‐pressure chlorine radicals in an ultrahigh‐vacuum system5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583686View Description Hide Description
GaAs and AlGaAs have been crystallographically etched with low‐pressure chlorine radicals in an electron‐cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma shower with a new reactive‐ion‐beam etching (RIBE) system for obtaining damage‐ and contamination‐free etching. The etching begins abruptly at 190 °C and increases gradually above 200 °C. The typical etching rate of a (001) plane is 1 μm/min at a substrate temperature of 300 °C. Mesa‐shaped and reverse mesa‐shaped grooves with {111} A side wall planes are obtained for 〈1̄10〉‐ and 〈1̄1̄0〉‐oriented line and space masks. For square masks with [110] edge lines, on the other hand, high aspect‐ratio columns with {100} vertical side wall planes are obtained. These results show that the etching rate of {111} A is much lower than that of {100}, {110}, or {111} B . AlGaAs is etched similarly to GaAs. Cl2 gas (not plasma excited) performs similar etching. However, the substrate temperature must be about 100 °C higher for the beginning of etching than for the Cl radical etching. These etching technologies are promising for microfabrication of GaAs/AlGaAs optoelectronic devices, replacing conventional wet chemical etching.
Secondary ion mass spectrometry study of Pd‐based ohmic contacts to GaAs and AlGaAs/GaAs5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583687View Description Hide Description
Secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS) has been used to study nonalloyed Zn/Pd/Au (p‐type) and Ge/Pd/Au (n‐type) ohmic contacts to GaAs. Both contacts have very low contact resistances and smooth surface morphologies. It appears that Pd, a fast diffuser in GaAs, helps the diffusion of Zn into GaAs in the Zn/Pd/Au contact. On the other hand, it was found that Pd and Ge diffused together during the heat treatment of the Pd/Ge/Au contact. SIMS profiles of a Pd/Ge/Au ohmic contact fabricated upon a high‐electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structure provide two possible explanations for its significantly higher contact resistance than a conventional Ni/Ge/Au alloyed contact. The SIMS data indicates that Pd may have caused Al and Ga interdiffusion at the AlGaAs/GaAs interface and that the metallization failed to make contact to the electron gas because of the interdiffusion.
An x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low‐energy electron diffraction controlled surface preparation of Si(100) prior to epitaxial growth of GaAs5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583688View Description Hide Description
Low‐energy electron diffraction(LEED) and x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analyses have been performed after the different steps of a Si(100) low temperature cleaning procedure prior to GaAsheteroepitaxialgrowth. The residual oxygen and carbon contamination observed after deoxidation by HF–ethanol under dry nitrogen is not completely eliminated after heating to 750 °C under ultrahigh vacuum, in spite of the observation of a clear 2×1 LEED pattern. The complete removal of oxygen and carbon is only achieved after deposition of a thin GaAs prelayer and its evaporation at 750 °C.

Tunneling spectroscopy of the GaAs(110) surface5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583691View Description Hide Description
The scanning tunneling microscope is used to study the spectroscopy of p‐type, n‐type, and oxygen‐covered GaAs(110) surfaces. On the clean surface, three components of the current are identified—tunneling out of valence‐band states, tunneling into conduction‐band states, and tunneling through dopant‐induced states in the semiconductor. The results are compared with a theoretical computation of the tunneling current, including band bending in the semiconductor. Good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained only when tunneling through the space‐charge region of the semiconductor is included. On the oxygen‐covered surface, the spectroscopic results show evidence of band bending due to the oxygen adsorbates.
Inverse photoemission from surface and interface states of III–V semiconductors5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583692View Description Hide Description
We have measured unoccupied surface and interface states on Ga‐ and In‐derived III–V semiconductors with momentum‐resolved inverse photoemission. The position of the surface states is found to be unrelated to the fundamental band gap. Instead, a connection with the gap of p‐like states can be made. This finding is discussed in the context of theories of Fermi level pinning and band lineup, which use (virtual) gap states as a reference energy. Unoccupied metal‐induced gap states are found for transition metals (Y, Ti, V, Mn, Pd) on GaAs(110) and InP(110). Their energy tracks the Fermi level pinning position, suggesting that these states are connected with the pinning process. A tentative assignment in terms of nonbonding metal d states is given.
Theoretical studies of reconstructed GaAs(100) surfaces using first principle calculations5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583693View Description Hide Description
Full and one‐half monolayer Ga stabilized GaAs(100) surfaces are studied using a b i n i t i o self‐consistent density‐functional calculations implemented with our newly generated soft pseudopotential. Particular attention is focused on the Ga terminated missing row model which is nonpolar. Surface energies and surface atomic relaxations are determined through energy‐minimization calculations.
Steps on (001) silicon surfaces5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583694View Description Hide Description
We investigate a topological method of eliminating antiphase domains in zinc‐blende semiconductors heteroepitaxially grown on (001) Si substrates. Antiphase domains cannot occur if only one of the two atomic species of the polar overlayer bonds directly to the substrate at the heteroepitaxialinterface (As, in the case of GaAs on Si) and if atoms from only one of the two inequivalent sublattices of the substrate form the termination boundary [only biatomic (a 0/2) steps present]. We show that thermal equilibrium is a necessary and sufficient condition to realize this condition for (001) Si, a result of a π‐bonded step reconstruction that lowers the relative enthalpy of reconstructed [110] biatomic steps by 0.04 eV per step atom for one type of biatomic step, and of correlation, which freezes out the step configuration entropy thereby suppressing the formation of all other types of steps. Our model explains selection rules and dimer orientations observed in infrared absorption, low‐energy electron diffraction, and reflection high‐energy electron diffraction measurements of vicinal (001) Si surfaces tilted toward (110). For general vicinal surfaces, competition from the non‐π‐bonded sides of the atomically flat terraces weakens the thermodynamic driving force. For surfaces tilted toward (100) it vanishes completely, indicating that antiphase‐free polar material cannot be grown on these surfaces, in agreement with experiment. If a minimum threshold energy is needed per terrace to form a primitive (001) surface, then the boundaries between antiphase‐free and antiphase‐dominated regions for spherically figured surfaces should be parabolic. The minimum energy estimated from the results of Akiyama e t a l. on spherically figured surfaces suggests that terrace–terrace correlations are also important factors in forming the primitive surface.
Self‐consistent electronic structure of semi‐infinite Si(001) (2×1) and Ge(001) (2×1) with model calculations for scanning tunneling microscopy5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583695View Description Hide Description
We have investigated surface electronic properties of semi‐infinite Si(001) (2×1) and Ge(001) (2×1) using our recently developed self‐consistent scatteringtheoretical method. The calculations are based on local density functional formalism and make use of one‐particle Green's functions. We present results for both symmetric and asymmetric dimer reconstructions of the surfaces to contribute to the current discussion of their structural properties. From comparing our results with photoemission and inverse photoemission data, we find that the asymmetric dimer model agrees better with the data than the symmetric dimer model. These findings are discussed, as well, in light of the recent scanning tunneling microscopy data of Hamers e t a l. In particular, we use our theory to add to the interpretation of scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy data on Si and Ge(001) (2×1) surfaces.
Dependence on ionicity of the (110) surface relaxations of zinc‐blende semiconductors5(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.583696View Description Hide Description
It is argued that the surface relaxation angle ω of zinc‐blende (110) surfaces should depend on ionicity or on longitudinal effective charge Z approximately as ω=ω0−ω1 Z 2 e 2/εa L , with ω1≂6°/eV.

Iroquois was the big winner at the Pioneer Invitational track and field meet on Saturday at Pioneer High School.
The Chiefs' boys team finished well ahead of the competition with 123 points. Canisius was second with 71 points, followed by Williamsville South and Pioneer.
Iroquois' winners included Jeremy Horn in both the 100-meter dash (11.71) and 200-meter dash (23.10). Ryan Loops won the pole vault (11 feet) and the 800-meter run (2:05.01).
The Chiefs dominated the relays, taking the 4x800, 4x400 and 4x100 events. In addition, Justin Petrocy took the 400-meter dash (51.6).
It was more of the same in the girls' competition. Iroquois finished with 107 points, just ahead of Springville at 102. Williamsville North was third.
Iroquois' athletes won three different events. Camille Wutz took the long jump at 15-10. Madison Roberts captured the pole vault title at 9-6. Iroquois also took the 4x100 relay, as Roberts, Brooke D'Arcy, Paige Merrifield and Shannon Rogers combined for a time of 53.07. The Chiefs piled up enough points in other events to pull out the team triumph.
Meanwhile, Sweet Home won both the girls and boys competitions at the Panthers Relays.
In girls events, Sweet Home finished with 95 points for a convincing win over Cheektowaga (66) and Amherst (45).
Lexi Odom, Naralyn Trueheart and Sadira Brown of Sweet Home combined to jump 67 feet, 11½ inches in the long/triple relay for a meet record. The Panthers also took titles in the 4x200, 4x800 and high jump.
On the boys' side, Sweet Home edged Cheektowaga, 76-70.5. The Panthers set meet records in the 110 hurdles, 4x200 and 4x100. Lancaster's Brandon Sicurella and Tony deYoung teamed up to set a meet record in the discus.
Girls lacrosse
Williamsville South finished what coach Rick Hopkins called "Williamsville Week" with an 8-4 win over Williamsville East. The Billies finished a stretch of playing three games in six days against other Williamsville schools.
"Going 2-1 against our archrivals is pretty good," Hopkins said. "These teams know each other quite well from travel lacrosse, and some of them play ice hockey together. You wish your rivalry games were spread out a bit more."
Williamsville South had lost to East in four overtimes Monday, so the team was happy to rebound less than a week later. Alyssa Ferenczy had four goals for the Billies while Cassandra Hopkins had two goals and an assist.
"We're both battling for the fourth seed in the playoffs," said Hopkins about his team (5-5, 4-4). "It would be nice to have a home game at playoff time. It was a quality win."
Elsewhere, Frontier needed triple overtime to put away Lockport, 7-6. The Falcons fell behind by a 5-2 count with only three minutes left.
"We adjusted something on the draw, and right off the bat we were fine," coach Tim Nyslinski of Frontier said. "The last goal was my favorite. Grace Christeiansen won the draw and went all the way in to score."
The deciding goal came with about 1:30 left. Hannah Lease drove to the net to get the winner.
The John Bennett Regatta will take place at the West Side Rowing Club today. A total of 25 youth rowing programs from New York, Ontario and Pennsylvania will take part in the event, the largest in the WSRC's history. Time trials start at 9 a.m., finals run from 1 to 5 p.m.

A 12-YEAR-OLD otherwise healthy boy was examined owing to a 3-month history of recurrent gross hematuria. This disorder occurred after exercise and vanished within 6 hours. The child denied weight loss, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal or flank pain, dysuria, polyuria, polydipsia, fever, or muscle weakness. He had no history of urinary tract infection or chronic renal disease. He was receiving no medications except acetaminophen for occasional headaches. The family history was remarkable for kidney stones in a maternal uncle.
The physical examination showed a well-appearing boy of white and Filipino ancestry. Height and weight were at the 10th and fifth percentiles, respectively, for age. Serial blood pressure measurements were within normal limits for his age. There were no neck masses, and the remainder of the physical examination was normal.
A urinalysis was negative for protein but showed microscopic hematuria with 100 red blood cells per high-power field. Two urine

WILLISTON, Vt. (AP) — The real-life ship captain being played by Tom Hanks in a Hollywood movie says he never felt feel empathy for the pirates who hijacked his vessel and took him captive four years ago.
Richard Phillips attended a screening of "Captain Phillips" near his home in Vermont on Tuesday night and spoke to The Associated Press as the event began.
Phillips spent five days as a hostage of Somali pirates on a lifeboat after the Maersk (mersk) Alabama was hijacked. He was rescued by U.S. Navy SEALs who shot three of the pirates.
He says it "never entered my mind" to feel empathy for the pirates. He says "I thought that was important for me and my survival. There was no Stockholm syndrome."
"Captain Phillips" is being released nationally Oct. 11.

Garrigus Manages to Keep Lead in Valspar Championship
Though he wasn't quite as hot as on Friday when he shot the then low round of the tournament, a 5-under 66, Robert Garrigus maintained his lead in the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Fla.
Garrigus began the third round with a three-stroke lead over playing partner Kevin Na.
After three birdies on the first five holes to open up a four-shot edge, Garrigus, a 36-year-old Idaho native, hung on from there, carding two bogeys - including one on the par-4 18th at the Copperhead course - the rest of the way for a 1-under 70 and a 54-hole total of 8-under 205, one shot ahead of Na, who carded a 68.
Garrigus and Na were both put on the clock on the back nine. Each received an additional bad time but got to the clubhouse without another bad time, which would have resulted in a one-stroke penalty for the offending player.
John Senden matched South Africa's Retief Goosen for the low round of the tournament, a 7-under 64 Saturday, moving the Aussie into solo third at 6-under.
Senden told reporters the reason for his successful day was because of a better understanding of Copperhead's greens. "If you notice on the greens they look quite slope-y, but there's also a lot of grain in the greens . . . That makes it difficult for players to make putts, and that's what holds the scoring up at this place.
"You really have to challenge yourself on the greens to study them well and go out there and free-wheel it."
England's Justin Rose carded a 69 and is now in fourth at 5-under 208, while Goosen moved into fifth at 209 with Americans Charley Hoffman (67) and Scott Langley (69).
England's Luke Donald (67), who won the event in 2012, shares eighth at 210 with Jason Kokrak (68) and Italy's Matteo Manassero (71).
Defending champion Kevin Streelman shot even-par 71 and is tied for 24th at 213. Pat Perez, who shared the first-round lead with three others and began play Saturday four strokes behind Garrigus, carded a 77 to fall into a tie for 58th at 3-over 216.

In the last days of a decade that came to be known as "the hungry forties", Carlyle surveyed the world around him and found little to admire. So many of the European revolutions of 1848 had petered out in futile wrangling about constitutional detail or in post revolutionary settlements that ended up simply replacing a do-nothing aristocracy with leave-it-alone economics. Personal leadership grounded in shared obligations and duties had ultimately come off second best to rationalistic bureaucratic forms of government grounded in constitutional and economic theory. Tragically, Carlyle had not had to look far from home for compelling evidence of what such professional government actually meant in practice. Throughout 1849 the Great …

Student Success
Today's students have expectations for housing that go beyond simply a place to hang their clothing, to read a few textbook chapters and to sleep. Students are accustomed to living accommodations with the latest amenities including technology, space to interact with friends and even single bedrooms. Because they have these comforts and conveniences at home, they expect to have them at college also. In the Division of Student Success, our biggest accomplishment happened on October 4, 2012, when we opened Mosaic Village and simultaneously opened the door to a new era in housing for JCSU. The 124,000-square-foot facility on West Trade Street provides apartment-style living for 300 JCSU students and students at other institutions of higher education in Charlotte. From the moment we opened the doors and witnessed students and community leaders gasp in awe and excitement, I have been proud that we have one of the best options for housing in the greater Charlotte region. Mosaic Village is also proof of our commitment to the Northwest Corridor by serving as a model for how public/private partnerships can spark economic development and increase community pride.
What was your biggest challenge?
When I reflect on our biggest challenge, I turn again to student housing. In February 2013, a few residents in Myers Hall found evidence of bats in the building. We focused our efforts on working with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Control and Carolina Pest Control to solve the problem. The safety of our students is paramount, so we decided to take prudent, precautionary measures and close Myers Hall for the remainder of the spring semester. The Office of Residence Life worked quickly to develop an operational plan to relocate students to other residence halls. It was certainly a challenge to move 93 students in the middle of the academic year. It is a real testament to the professionalism and dedication of our staff as well as the maturity of our students that we were able to make it happen with minimal disruption to the students' lives.
What is your forecast for the 2013-2014 academic year?
The upcoming year will be an exciting one for the Division of Student Success because we will be able to enhance our support offerings to students as a result of a two-year $150,000 grant from The Duke Endowment. The grant will allow us to hire two case managers who will address personal and health-related needs that often become barriers to academic success. Therefore, the University can develop and implement proactive student services and establish a stable, consistent system of care for students in times of critical need. I am convinced that this will help increase our retention rate while contributing to the personal development of our students.
Student housing will be a bright spot for us again in 2013-2014, because Duke Hall, which was built in 1940, will receive an energy efficient facelift and a renovation that will bring the three-story building into the 21st century as a contemporary residence hall. Funded by The Duke Endowment, the renovation will further the University's sustainability efforts and provide 36 residential suites that will house 70 students. I'm thrilled that we will be able to offer our students another option for modern living in fall 2013. This is just another way that JCSU offers a vibrant campus experience to complement the intellectual rigor that occurs in our classrooms.

Wet weather keeps Windies waiting
Follow the Investec Test series on ecb.co.uk - click here for all the latest news, exclusive interviews, video highlights and match reports
There was relief as well as disappointment for West Indies when the first day of their tour was washed out - because they had only 11 fit players able to take the field.
Contrary to earlier impressions that a full 15-man squad were present and correct, three have yet to even set foot in the country this summer because of visa and travel issues.
A fourth, fast bowler Fidel Edwards, is still struggling with the back "niggle" that ruled him out of last week's Test defeat against Australia in Dominica and may yet prevent his participation, not just at the PROBIZ County Ground over the next two days, but possibly against England Lions at Northampton too.
That would leave no cricket in the past month before the first Investec Test at Lord's for a bowler who has a history of back trouble - including surgery which ruled him out throughout 2010.
If West Indies captain Darren Sammy is concerned about those implications, he was not showing it today after day one of three against Sussex was surprisingly called off at 1.40pm following heavy overnight rain but a dry morning.
Sammy's insouciance over Edwards was perhaps understandable, given the more immediate problem of whether he still has 10 fit team-mates to take the field with him should the weather relent tomorrow.
If his and West Indies' luck is in, it is just possible he may yet have everyone bar Edwards at his disposal.
Guyanese pair Narsingh Deonarine and Assad Fudadin are in Jamaica, awaiting visa clearance to travel, while Marlon Samuels is thought to be in transit following his Indian Premier League stint with Pune Warriors.
Sammy is optimistic the problems will soon be overcome, but other members of the tourists' back-up staff were equivocal.
"We have 12 guys here right now, and I think the other three are coming in later this evening," said the captain.
"It's a little bit to do with visas. They're going to be here, and they're not missing anything right now.
"We've not named our XI. They're batsmen, so they could come in and play straight away."
There are options for emergency call-ups too, with a smattering of former West Indies Test players currently engaged - to good effect - in county cricket. As for Edwards, Sammy retains great faith in the fast bowler to put his body on the line for his country if humanly possible.
"Fidel is still carrying a niggle," he said. "The physio is going to monitor him and give him some more time to recover.
"It's not bad. We came here knowing Fidel would be rested for this game; he was rested for the last match. Come the 17th, everybody will be ready.
"Fidel is somebody I know what to expect from. I know what he's going to give and whenever he plays will be ready.
"Last time he played a game at Lord's he was very unlucky - a few catches went down - and I know he's going to give us 100%, just like all my team-mates.
"Whether he plays the Lions game or not, I know when that bell rings on the 17th, he will be ready. He'll be the first one to say 'give me the ball'.
"It will be up to Fidel himself to say how he feels, and what the physio recommends."
In the shorter term, if the cavalry does not arrive overnight, the West Indies could well be struggling for a 12th man.
Edwards may yet have to be pressed into service as an emergency fielder, on necessarily light duties - unless tour manager and former Windies captain Richie Richardson - at the age of 50, and 11 years after his last first-class match - is feeling brave.

Holy Cross Church in Santa Cruz is a food pantry primarily serving the West Side of Santa Cruz. The pantry is run by a team of 50 volunteers who share responsibilities, such as picking up food at the Second Harvest warehouse in Watsonville, stocking pantry shelves, and working on-site during food distributions. The pantry is open from 10 am to 2 pm, Wednesdays through Fridays, and serves between 500 and 700 people each month.
Al Richard, who has been managing the pantry for close to two decades, says they distribute 4,000-5,000 pounds of food each month, most of which comes from Second Harvest. On Fridays, he takes inventory and uses Second Harvest's online system to order non-perishables for delivery the following Tuesday.
On Wednesdays, they pick up fresh produce at the food bank. A grant from Second Harvest last Spring came in the knick of time says Al, allowing them to purchase a new freezer just as the old one was getting ready to quit.
Al was a panelist at Second Harvest's 2013 Nutrition Summit and he is an expert on food safety. He maintains a binder of guidelines and ensures all volunteers are taught to use "the book". Al's motto is, "Don't give it out if you wouldn't serve it at home."
The church collaborates with other non-profit organizations in Santa Cruz such as the St. Francis Soup Kitchen to help meet the needs of the community. They maintain a binder listing programs in Santa Cruz County that are available to help people get back on their feet, and provide referrals as appropriate.
Holy Cross offers additional services ranging from financial vouchers for gas, laundry, and utility bills, to rental assistance. The help they can give depends on how much money they have raised. The church's 5th Sunday collection, student fund raising events, grants, and private donations all help; however, as is the case with most non-profits, they never know how much money they will have from year to year.
Every week, Holy Cross houses up to 25 people for one night. They provide a warm meal and a place to sleep. Families with children get priority. They often have items donated by parishioners such as clothing, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste to distribute. "Everybody has a story and we have to make a decision whether they can stay or not," says Al. "It is very difficult."
Al and his team at Holy Cross do an incredible job of helping people in need in our community. By engaging parishioners and students, and collaborating with their partners in the non-profit community, they are able to make a huge difference in people's lives.
Just as we experience at Second Harvest, many of the people helped by the pantry return to volunteer as a way of giving back for the support they received during trying times.
Thanks to everyone at Holy Cross for doing what it takes to improve the lives of the less fortunate in our community.

Skinny dip organisers issue appeal
Published 16/09/2012
Organisers need more people to sign up for a record-breaking skinny dip in the chilly North Sea next weekend.
Paramedic Jacqueline Higginson, from Sunderland, is organising the cheeky event at Druridge Bay, Northumberland, at about sunrise on Saturday, September 22.
The 34-year-old took part in a previous Guinness World record dip last year in Wales.
She said: "The day is also the Autumn Equinox, the transition from summer to winter.
"I cannot think of a more appropriate way to celebrate the summer and welcome the winter than stripping down to skin and running wild and free into the North Sea."
Participants are expected to strip off and then wade into the sea at least up to their waists at the event, which Miss Higginson hoped could raise £2,000 for the mental health charity Mind.
Entry costs £10 and to sign up, visit northeastskinnydip.co.uk

Feminism Now: Symposium for New Feminist Art Scholarship
Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art
Brooklyn Museum
Saturday, March 28, 2009
Deadline for submissions: December 5, 2008
The Brooklyn Museum invites submissions of papers for Feminism Now, a symposium that will provide a platform for graduate and post-graduate students of art history and related disciplines to present new scholarship that reflects feminist approaches to cultural research and analysis. The symposium will give increased visibility to scholarship on contemporary and emerging feminist artists and increase awareness of these artists' work in the broader arts community. As the Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art demonstrated with its inaugural exhibition, Global Feminisms, feminism is not a historical moment or a single philosophy, but an ongoing attempt to consider the impact of gender and sexuality at any given intersection of time and space. The debates that feminist criticism has engendered continue to have profound and ongoing effects on contemporary art and its accompanying scholarship as the nature of those critiques have continued to evolve in response to the changing culture. Nevertheless, the public perception of feminism as limited to a set of works or texts produced in the 1960s and 1970s has often kept the focus narrow and the impact situated in the past.
For the 2009 Feminism Now symposium, the Brooklyn Museum invites students and young scholars of art history and related disciplines to submit papers that engage with feminism as a central part of their thesis. Scholars of culture studies, visual studies, media studies, performance studies, and artist-practitioners are encouraged to submit.
Topic areas include, but are not limited to:
* Contemporary artists of any gender who are read as feminist, seen as responding to feminism, or are subject to a critique from a feminist theoretical perspective
* Trends in the art world or theoretical models that have not been fully considered from a feminist perspective
* New feminist approaches to working in fields related to arts, cultural production, and cultural institutions or definitions of feminism in relation to cultural production and critique
* New critiques of previous feminist analyses of artists, works, artistic trends, or theoretical models
* New research into artists from historical periods that are either identified as feminist or read in a feminist way. While papers can be on commonly acknowledged feminist artists from the 1960s and 1970s, the panel will be looking for scholarship that adds something new to this consideration.
* How art interacts with feminism in other fields such as politics, economics, science, etc.
* Calls to action and arguments for or against feminism in art in the 21st century
Presentations will be between 15 and 20 minutes; applicants should submit abstracts of approximately 300 words, a brief writing sample (8–10 pages), and a C.V. or brief bio including their institution and contact information by December 5, 2008. Submissions should be in Microsoft Word or Rich Text format and should be submitted via e-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Colts' 27-6 win over the Browns last Saturday night was an all-around beat down, with both the Indianapolis offensive and defensive units dominating throughout the game. The first-team defense pitched a shut-out, and Andrew Luck had little trouble moving the offense down the field, scoring 17 points and being within five yards of another touchdown before a dropped pass led to an unlucky interception.
A lot of positive came out of the game, and that's what we'll be focusing on for most of the week prior to the Colts' Thursday night matchup against the Bengals.
But, before we get to that, we're going to talk about the biggest negative to come out of Saturday's win: the fiasco also known as the offensive line. While injuries to Mike McGlynn and Anthony Castonzo magnified issues, the line still noticeably struggled against Cleveland, especially right tackle Gosder Cherilus (yes, I'm aware the title says Winston Justice, but the lulz factor here was too good to change it).
The Colts signed Cherilus this past offseason to be a stable pass protector on the right side. With so much concern resting on the interior, the Colts desperately needed the tackles to be dependable, allowing Luck some room to maneuver when dropping back.
Through the first two games, Cherilus did what was necessary, allowing just one quarterback pressure and earning a cumulative +1.1 pass blocking grade from Pro Football Focus. Saturday night, however, was a different story.
It started with Andrew Luck's first drop back. Cherilus gets turned to the inside slightly on Paul Kruger's initial punch, and can't move his feet quickly enough to get inside the outside linebacker. Kruger takes the opening, and gets a hand on Andrew Luck, tripping him up as Luck tried to step up in the pocket for a three-yard sack.
Meanwhile, Cherilus trips up and falls onto Kruger (or does it purposefully to keep him from going anywhere), but also rolls up onto the back of Anthony Castonzo's knee, resulting in what we now know is a mild MCL sprain.
For a man Cherilus' size, getting punched back like that shouldn't happen. Cherilus doesn't have great foot speed, and quickness isn't his strong suit. What he does have is size and strength.
Unfortunately, that strength didn't show up on Saturday. Cherilus was often overpowered by Kruger and Ahtyba Rubin on the inside.
For (cringeworthy) example, take a look at these two plays later in the game.
On both plays Cherilus gets tossed aside like a rag doll by Kruger, who uses Cherilus' momentum against him and tosses him to the ground while managing to stay on his feet.
Fortunately, Luck gets the ball out quickly on both plays, and isn't pressured by Kruger, but the display from Cherilus is less than encouraging.
Cherilus finished the game with four allowed pressures (a sack, hit and two hurries) and a -1.4 grade in pass blocking from PFF. Now, all things considered, I'm not concerned long-term about Cherilus. It was a poor game, but he hasn't looked like this in the rest of the preseason.
Cherilus has too strong of a history in pass protection for one poor preseason game to make any impact in my opinion of him. I still think he'll be more than reliable in that area for 2013. Run blocking is a different story, but I'm 10x more concerned about pass protection from the tackles than I am run blocking.
But make no mistake, if Cherilus struggles in pass protection, the Colts will be in trouble. The team desperately needs this year's offensive line to be stronger in pass protection, but the change won't be seen if Cherilus isn't an upgrade over the 2012 mix of Winston Justice, Jeff Linkenbach and Bradley Sowell.
I don't see that happening. Cherilus has never finished a season with a negative grade from PFF. Obviously the Colts would rather see him play like he did last season, when he was one of the league's best pass-blocking tackles. But even a simply above-average tackle (in pass protection) would be a major upgrade.
And don't worry. That's it for the depressing stuff from this game. Tomorrow we'll have some more exciting developments from Saturday's big win, including a CA Video Breakdown on Hugh Thornton's impressive debut.

Oh Aimee. I'm glad you survived. I am proud of myself just as much as I'm proud of my son! I've kept it together. It might be a different story next year when my youngest is off to school for the first time...ReplyDelete

He looks pretty excited (and a little apprehensive) in that first photo. Did he tell you all about it when he got home? My kid (at 13) gave me the old, "It was OK." :(ReplyDelete

ALTHOUGH HIS TIME with the Flyers ended well before he could have hoped, Claude Vilgrain's impact on Philadelphia hockey was beyond anything he could have ever imagined.
As the first black player ever to play a game for the Flyers, Vilgrain suited up during the 1993-94 season for only two games before the NHL experienced a lockout one season later. If not for the 1994-95 lockout, the right winger thought he would have spent a lot more time wearing an orange-and-black uniform.
"I was hoping that I could play there many, many more years," Vilgrain said of his time spent in Philadelphia. "I enjoyed the city and the organization, and this was a place that I saw myself for a while, but then the next year, the lockout happened, and I went to Switzerland and I decided to stay. I miss the experience and wish I could have had a few more years in the NHL."

Montessori Program Elements:
The Montessori classroom is a joyous place to be. It is geared to the child's natural development where students have opportunities to explore and fulfill their individual potential.
Montessori schools are divided into multi-age classrooms: "Children's House" for children ages 3 to 6, "E1" for students in 1st through 3rd grade, and "E2" for students in 4th and 5th grade.
The prepared environments introduce an uninterrupted series of learning passages, a continuum in which the role of the teacher is that of a guide or coach, a practice that distinguishes Montessori from other educational approaches.
Independent activity constitutes approximately eighty percent of the work in a Montessori classroom, with teacher-directed activity comprising the remaining twenty percent of the work at all levels. Every aspect of the curriculum involves creative invention and careful, thoughtful analysis. In viewing learning outcomes at each Montessori level, emphasis on why and how students arrive at what they know is just as important as what they know.
Gerena has a thriving vocal music program and two visual arts teachers who work with students at every grade level, introducing them to the joys of creative artistic expression. We are one of only two elementary schools in the city to offer an instrumental music program for students in 3rd through 5th grades.
Focus on Literacy:
At Gerena we are helping students become readers and writers by infusing best literacy practices through all content areas. Our teachers are dedicated to enabling our students acquire the important skills to create successful students and citizens.

Historical Traveler Reviews Iberostar Costa Dorada Puerto Plata
Quite simply the most superb holiday you could possibly imagine.
The staff, the food, the drinks and the weather were excellent and all combined to make this a holiday we'll never forget.
The hotel has everything you could imagine to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The attention to detail is amazing, every taste seems to be catered for, and all we saw were smiles on people's faces (not least of all the Star Friends staff).
I recommend this hotel and destination to anyone.
Do not hesitate
If you have any intention of going to this hotel then do not hesitate for a second.
Nothing but excellence
I haven't had a vacation in five years and I needed one quick. I ended up going to Iberostar Costa Dorada and I tell you as soon as you arrive there the staff treats you with so much courtesy and respect. I have never felt so welcomed the way I did while I was there. The food, drinks, pools and especially the view from the balcony were all superb. I enjoyed the way the staff keeps you entertained throughout the day near the pool area. They really know how to show a good time. The only regret I have is that I only spent five days there. The next time I plan to stay at least 2 weeks. Thank You so much Iberostar Family you really helped me release a lot of my tension and stress.
Ruined my vacation!!!!
This hotel looks very nice and it's beautiful at nighttime. The lobby is beautiful and well kept. The food is very good and it has a lot of variety. My family and me booked this hotel because of it's "good" reputation.However, when we first got there we had an inconvenient situation (a dispute over a bill). Throughout our stay of four days we (a party of 6 people) spent two days trying to speak to management and have them assist us with a problem that they brought about. The reception area worked backwards. Instead of giving me possibilities of how to resolve my problem they told me of a certain way (the most inconvenient for us, yet money-making for the hotel. For example, I needed a local number for a tour bus. The receptionist claimed that she didn't have that number and sent me to a phone booth around the corner from the desk. She told me to dial 0 and speak to the operator. AFter my call, someone approaches me with a bill for that call. The receptionist failed to tell me that there is a customer service window that could've given me the number without having to incur money. Finally, we asked to speak to the director of that hotel. We waited for 2 hours for him, and when he didn't show we left our cell phone number to reach us. He never called the cell phone or our rooms. The next day, I finally tracked him down and his response was that my situation wasn't serious therefore, he didn't respond. So basically, management ignores you if they don't agree with you. Management's unprofessionalism and irresponsibility ruined our vacation!!!!
Great times to be had!
We went to the Iberostar Puerto Plata during september 2001. Aside from the fantastic entertainment team who were more than happy for you to either join in or relax, the staff at the watersports centre were great. The beach is fantastic, the water isn't the best we've seen in the carribean although it still beats anything around the UK. Windsurfers be warned - the reef lies just offshore so take advice from Rene and Rafael, they'll show you the way through, there's a trade wind during the summer months which kicks in at 2pm til 6pm. On the quieter days it's OK for novices though.
The grounds of this hotel are some of the best we've seen. From the marble entrance hall and wood carvings to the Flamingo's and garden areas the standard of upkeep is very high.
The pool area is great with huge sun shades made from palm leaves. A little disappointed with the jacuzzi in the middle of the pool but a minor fault in a fantastic hotel. As for the rooms, you have no worries.
Outside the hotel, be sure to try the 6 wheel adventure and the trip to the mangroves.
A great place for great time.
Wonderful Resort for you and your family
My wife and I went to Iberostar Costa Dorada for the first time on Aug 8th 2002. We stayed for 7 days. We have stayed at many resorts before so we had a chance to compare. This one was the best. The price is good too. The staff is friendly, lots of food and drinks and excellent entertainment. Great pool and beech. Take the kids along they will love it. This is an all-inclusive place and no tipping is required. However we took lots of dollar bills to let the staff know that they are doing a good job. Took one tour of Puerto Plata, did the tourist thing, and that was enough for us. It was more fun at the resort. Would go back to this one.
Iberostar Costa Dorada
The Iberostar Costa Dorada hotel was a lovely destination for our honeymoon.
The hotel overall was brilliant. The only thing we would say is that all the shops in the hotel only except local currency and not US Dollars, it was also very expensive.
A most enjoyable vacation
I arrived at the Iberostar Costa Dorada Resort on Sunday,
March 11, 2002. From the moment I stepped on the grounds of this resort until the day I left, March 17, 2002, I did not have one complaint.
The entire staff (an I mean everyone) could not do enough to make my vacation enjoyable. If you wanted to join in with the planned activities, you could or if you just wanted to watch, that was ok as well. The activities were for people of all ages.
The entertainment was tremendous. Even knowing the entertainers were not professionals, it was hard remembering that. Obviously, a lot of training went into their daily programs.
The food and service in all of the facilities was as good as I have found anywhere. People always brag how good the food was on cruises, well, this was every bit as good, if not it was better.
I will most definitely suggest to my friends to vacation at an Iberostar Resort. I will also vacation there again.
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!
The staff of Iberostar Costa Dorada make the resort awesome. All staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The grounds and hotel services are unbelievable. The all-inclusive meals and drinks are definetly the best benefits Iberostar offers. Every night there's plenty to do from an elaborate dinner, daily shows, and after 11:00 you can hit their very own disco. The actual hotel rooms aren't anything extraordinary, but you spend so much time outside by the beautiful pool and on the beach that all you have time to do in your room is sleep. I would definetly recommend the Iberostar Costa Dorada to anyone who loves to sunbathe, relax, eat, and drink!
Supberb hotel
My husband and myself stayed in Iberostar in May 2000 and November 2001. We were so impressed the first visit that we encouraged our best friends to join us in November 2001! They were not disappointed. The food is excellent, the accommodation is excellent and the staff are second to none.
They quite often have offers on for this hotel. If you have a birthday or an anniversary the hotel supply flowers, etc free of charge, which is a lovely touch. It is also a beautiful spot for having your wedding. It's suitable for all age groups.
I cannot say enough about this hotel. I intend to go back again this year. You won't be disappointed! We visited another 5 star hotel in the area - but there was no comparison. You'll make lots of new friends because the place seems to make you feel like one big happy family.

Day 9
... but eventually we had to go out to get on the boat for snorkeling. The boat ride to the snorkeling spot was amazing and relaxing! I got a little sea sick once we anchored, but I just jumped in the water with all my snorkeling gear so I was fine. Snorkeling was cool but I had trouble breathing and my mouth piece was broken. It's also sort of gross because everyone bites the same thing that has been on a ton of other people's mouths. ...
Day 8
... at the top and plants trees or something, but our group didn't. On the way down, I fell 2 times because I was running so fast to get out of this place. I was so relieved at the bottom, I bought two water bottles and drank them both on the spot. So. Thirsty. I fell asleep on the bus ride home, but woke up because there was a giant forest fire a mile or so from the side of the road and I had to close my window. When I got back, I showered, then ...
Day 3

Despite living in constant fear, the Haitians were quite friendly and I enjoyed the company of all the Haitian and Dominican children. They came up to us during our tour and were fascinated by our cameras and the younger ones wanted to hold our hands or jump on our backs. After the tour, the kids followed us back to the Caraballo ...

On a side note, I ended up eating my slices on the drive and then on the walk home, I gave my

We arrived in Puerto Plata!
Everything went smoothly at the airport, and our driver named "Nelson Mandela" was easy to find. It was a bit overcast when we got outside.

Fiat will be following the young Italian athletes taking part in the European Athletics Junior Championships 2013, in Rieti from 18 to 21 July. Donning sky blue for Italy will be 72 under-20s – 40 male and 32 female – all intent on winning the highest number of the 40 European titles involved. Official Sponsor of the CONI (the Italian Olympic Committee) for the 2012–2014 three-year period, the brand will provide the organisers with a fleet of cars and other vehicles – Punto, Freemont, Ducato Panorama and Scudo Panorama – characterised by specific graphics linked to the CONI.The Panorama versions of the Scudo and Ducato models highlight the wide range of Fiat 'people transport' vehicles intended for both professional use (taxis, shuttles, transport for those with disabilities) and private (families, sports teams, community organisations). The same versatility is guaranteed by the Fiat Freemont, Italy's best-selling 7-seater car, and by another best-seller, the Fiat Punto, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year: from 1993 to date, more than 8.7 million examples have been sold throughout Europe.After hosting the Italian Athletics Junior Championships (14–16 June), the city in Lazio is the focal point of European youth athletics once more, with a packed and intense 4-day schedule involving more than two thousand participants – athletes, technicians, managers and judges – from 51 European countries and more than 400 volunteers taking part in its organisation. The bond of the Fiat Group with the world of sport has always been a very strong one. The various Group brands have had many opportunities to link their image to various sports disciplines, at all levels, including football, basketball, yachting, motor racing, motorcycle racing, rugby, boxing, fencing, athletics and winter sports on snow and ice. Highlights of the main sponsorships in recent years include the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, when the Fiat Group supplied over three thousand cars and 1200 coaches as Main Sponsor. Fiat is currently involved on several fronts. In particular, the brand will be proud Top Sponsor of the Italian National Football Teams until 2014 and will be accompanying them to the forthcoming World Cup in Brazil. Additionally, after the London 2012 Olympics and the recent Mersin Mediterranean Games 2013, Fiat will be at the side of Italian athletes once more at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi (Russia).

Mustard too hot for Red Rose
Click here for all the latest scores, match reports, news, videos and exclusive interviews during the Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign
Durham Dynamos raced to a notable Yorkshire Bank 40 win over last season's semi-finalists Lancashire Lightning at Emirates Old Trafford on the back of Phil Mustard's aggressive 91.
In pursuit of 217 to win the Group B clash, Mustard and opening partner Mark Stoneman scored at 10 runs per over in the powerplay.
Stoneman hit Wayne White for five fours in the fourth over before Mustard pulled Oliver Newby for six at the start of the fifth.
But, following the departures of Stoneman for 32 and Ryan Pringle in the space of eight balls to leave the score at 81 for two in the ninth, Mustard built upon the early assault to secure his side victory - following a home loss to Essex Eagles yesterday - by five wickets with 31 balls to spare.
Lancashire, who posted 216 for nine, got off to a flier in their first outing thanks to openers Stephen Moore and Ashwell Prince in a 73-run stand.
Moore, who has not been able to force his way into the Red Rose's early-season LV= County Championship plans, led the way with 46 off 37 balls, even pulling Mark Wood for a six over square-leg as the Lightning passed 50 in the early stages of the eighth over.
But Prince, who hit 34, and Moore fell in quick succession to Gareth Breese and Ben Stokes respectively, leaving the score at 83 for two.
From then on, Lancashire could not maintain the same intensity as their innings stumbled along with the loss of regular wickets.
Karl Brown hit 32 before being stumped by Mustard off Pringle's off-spin, the same way Prince had fallen to Breese. And when stand-in captain Simon Katich was caught behind off Wood, the hosts were 138 for five in the 26th over.
Jordan Clark and White tried their best to up the ante but, despite the latter's 37 off 47, were unable to do so.
Chris Rushworth nipped in with three of the last four wickets to fall, those of Clark caught at long-on, White caught and bowled and Newby taken behind, to finish with 3-44.
After Mustard and Stoneman shared 71 inside seven overs, the former added 90 with Paul Collingwood - who hit 38 - for the third wicket.
Mustard struck eight fours and two sixes over midwicket in 86 balls having been dropped on 43 by Simon Kerrigan.
Newby struck twice, while Stephen Parry, Kerrigan and Steven Croft claimed a wicket apiece - though their efforts hardly affected Durham's path to victory.
