Join the Nintendo chat
here is how it goes
Best: PS MOVE
Standard: Wii remote plus
don't even bother: kinect
if you have NO controller then you can't play games, is that simple as it is limitated... try to play resident evil 5 with kinect... OH YOU CAN'T... but you CAN play it with PS move as you can play resident evil 4 with the wiimote. the Wii and the PS3 are the best in motion controls... the Xbox360 is a great console but kinect is not that good really, just casual gamers like my mom and my little sister enjoys playing with kinect. If you want real hardcore games with HD graphics and motion controls then go for the PS move and if you want incredibly fun games with motion controls go for the Wii... If you want Halo and Gears of war go for the Xbox360 and play it on your couch thats the best way to do it. don't bother getting Kinect if you are the 'tough' type gamer, get it for your family so that they can play casual games like kinect adventures and kinectanimals and shits like that
i like PS move but i find the Pointer awful in comparison to wiis pointer. its motions sensing capabilities are great but with motion plus on wii there all too similar with PS move being only slightly better.
Kinect for me was a suprisingly impressive piece of technology with LOADS of potential but it CAN NEVER have hardcore games. cause nothing will work with it. with no imputs other than your body you can not do any complex games no RPGS no SHOOTERS nothing the most complex thing it can do is maybe a racer and even then its not as good as a joystick would be.
you will never have a free roaming kinect game. until the release some sort of remote device kinect is just not up to par.
Wii remote was great when i loved the wii. though motion sensing was never a strong point until motion plus came along but by then for me it was too late i had moved onto IMO a better console the xbox. i still try it every now and then for some games like donkey kong and red steel 2. but xbox has me hooked its online play and party chat will not be soon surpased by the wii especially with nintendo's attitude towards it.

Day 108 – Thursday, October 29th, Prague, Czech Republic
We started off the day with a guide named, Carl. He took us on a city tour of Prague. First we drove around in a bus to see the different sections and then the driver dropped us off in the Castle District. We continued our tour by walking for the rest of the time. The Castle District is on top of a hill 300 meters above sea level. The square at the top is an encyclopedia of European Architecture. There is Gothic, Baroque, Florentine, Renaissance and even a plain Bohemian Monastery all these buildings display the different styles of architecture over the ages. Prague was not bombed during the wars so these buildings have remained intact.
The Castle District is lovely. The Arch-Bishop's Cathedral, St. Vitus Cathedral, is the sixth largest church in the world. The difference between a church and a cathedral is that cathedrals have Bishops and churches just have priests. Anyway this Cathedral is 1,200 years old! It has been added to and rebuilt over the years but it was started 1,200 years ago! The Bell Tower is 100 meters high! We didn't get to view the inside but the outside is beautiful and reminded me of Notre Dame in Paris. Many Czech Kings and Noblemen are buried inside this church and all the Czech coronations were held here. There are actually five churches in the Castle District but this is the most amazing one.
Just behind the Cathedral is Golden Lane which is a street with all these tiny shops selling tourist items. Originally it was used as housing for the labourers working on the wall fortification and the palaces then they were turned into shops.
The word Bohemia was used to denote the Czech people and the Czech language before "Czech" became used in the English Language. In the year 1918 the Kingdom of Bohemia ceased to exist. This was when the Austrian/Hungarian Empire collapsed after WW I and Czechoslovakia was formed. Then the Nazi's occupied Czechoslovakia before WW II and after WW II Soviets occupied the Country. In 1989 or there abouts Czechoslovakia was split into two independent countries Czech Republic and Slovakia. Throughout the ages six different Political systems governed Czech Republic over the years and today they are celebrating 20 years of liberation from the Soviet Union.
Eleven million people live in Czech Republic and 1.3 live in Prague. 21% of Czech Republic is religious whereas, in all the neighbouring countries such as Germany, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary 95% of the people are Catholic. So the Czechs are not as religious as their neighbours.
As we toured the city of Prague we walked across the Charles Bridge which is just one of 17 Bridges over the Vltava River. Charles Bridge is a "pedestrian only" bridge and has over 30 statues on it. One statue is of St. John of Nepomuk, who was thrown over the bridge to his death for refusing to tell the King what the Queen said in confession.
In the middle of Lessor Town (Just below the Castle District) is "Little Italy". The Italians were invited here to live and help construct Prague. The Italians were the architects, artisans and bricklayers. They are still living here today and have their own school and churches where Italian is spoken. The Germans were also invited to live here in Prague and they lived here as a minority. Most of them were the noblemen and lords. For 700 years they lived here and after WW II they were expelled and sent back to Germany. Part of the Yalta decision!!
One of the streets we walked down was where the movie Amadeus was filmed. We also passed a portrait of Prince Winceslas on a building. There is so much history here, I love it. After lunch we stopped our tour and just walked around on our own. For dinner we met up with Heda, Thomas, and Martin who are with the Czech Woman's Softball organization. Also Petra, and Ludec who are with the Czech Olympic Nordic Ski Team. We had a nice dinner and made plans with these two groups for them to stay at our house when they come to Canada.

Dave,
You could try one of their paid plans. ĀThey do no require a facebook account, so you can use your email for the login. ĀI don't believe there is a contract on it either. So if you didn't like them after a month, you could just cancel.

I've spent the morning re-reading GAPs and SCD. Interesting stuff but the main thing I keep thinking is how much it fits with paleo philosophy. Since the idea if problems arise from starches and disaccharides not being fully broken down to monosaccharides, so they don't get absorbed and then they feed gut bacteria causing overgrowth etc etc. Since according to paleo it isn't natural for humans to eat the foods the diets include- those high in starches and disaccharides such as grains and dairy, it makes sense a lot of people might have these types of issues on a regular Western diet.
Though how that fits with serotonin issues, I don't know. the only idea I can come up with so far is that we have got used to a higher level of serotonin due to eating lots of carbs, so our receptors are downregulated, in which ase after switching to a lower carb diet it would take around 6 months for us to adjust to the lower level of serotonin. That's assuming serotonin receptors work similarly with endorphin ones ie like the 6 months "flat" period after cutting sugar on Radiant Recovery, while the BE receptos upregulate.

WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
According to Gartner Research, 90% of organizations will allow personal devices for work use by the end of 2014. BYOD and the need for wireless LAN networks (WLAN) with sufficient capacity to support them is a key driver behind 802.11ac upgrades to 5G, or Gigabit, Wi-Fi in the Enterprise.
To advance these WLAN upgrades, Vitesse Semiconductor introduced its SparX-IV™ family - VSC7442, VSC7444 and VSC7448 - the industry's only Ethernet switches optimized for 802.11ac WLAN Enterprise deployments. Ideal for Gigabit Wi-Fi access and aggregation, the new SparX-IV Ethernet switches are also well-suited for industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications including motion control, factory automation and smart grid.
"BYOD and mobile use in Enterprise environments dramatically change infrastructure requirements for businesses," said Eric Klein, senior analyst at VDC Research. "We expect Wave 2 802.11ac upgrades to accelerate as Enterprises seek to provide that high-quality, consistent and secure user experience that allows workers to be more productive while mobile. There's significant advantage to solutions like Vitesse's in that Enterprises can avoid costly forklift upgrades to their infrastructures and still efficiently and effectively provision the Gigabit speeds afforded by .11ac."
"Wave 2 .11ac deployments will be all about 2.5G uplinks," said Larry O'Connell, product marketing director for Vitesse. "There's a sizeable price and power penalty by going to 10G uplinks, requiring Enterprises to install new cabling to enable the higher total bandwidth. Vitesse's new SparX-IV Ethernet switch family optimizes the aggregation switch bandwidth and port counts to actual deployment scenarios. This gives Enterprises a logical way to work within their existing infrastructures, while enabling Gigabit capabilities for their users."
Optimized To Advance Networks To Gigabit WLAN Speeds
Vitesse's SparX-IV Ethernet switches deliver advanced feature integration including:
The SparX-IV family includes a range of configurations and is sampling now.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu and Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel our Home) chairman Avigdor Lieberman signed a coalition deal late Sunday evening, with built-in flexibility should the Kadima and Labor parties decide to join a unity government.
Under the agreement, Lieberman would be appointed foreign minister, replacing outgoing Kadima party chairwoman Tzipi Livni.
Yisrael Beiteinu would also receive the Tourism, National Infrastructure, Immigration/Absorption, and National Security portfolios.
In addition, Yisrael Beiteinu would receive a Foreign Ministry deputy minister position and the chairmanship of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee.
Lieberman, who also backs the formation of a unity coalition, expressed his willingness to change the distribution of portfolios should Kadima and Labor change their minds about joining the government.
The agreement includes commitments on civil marriage legislation and on the conversion process, which has been especially difficult for many immigrants from the former Soviet Union, who are not considered Jewish according to halacha (Jewish law).
Likud chief coalition negotiator MK (member of Knesset) Gideon Sa'ar said the talks went well.
"The negotiations were firm, but conducted in good spirits, and this has set the foundation for a good partnership," Sa'ar said.
"The agreement will note that we are interested in a unity government, and should this transpire, there will be changes. We are not shutting the door on unity," he said.
Netanyahu hopes to complete coalition negotiations by Thursday or, at the latest, Monday.

India Raises With Russia Move to Supply Mi-35 Choppers to Pakistan
By PTI
Published: 18th June 2014 09:54 PM
Last Updated: 18th June 2014 09:54 PM
NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday voiced concern with Russia over its move to supply Mi-35 military helicopters to Pakistan during talks between External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry O Rogozin.
Russia has long been the largest supplier of arms to India.
"The question regarding our defence cooperation and any issues that impact this in terms of our concern were raised," Spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs said when asked whether the issue was raised in the meeting.
Both Swaraj and Rogozin discussed defence cooperation between the two countries. Approximately 60 per cent of Indian defence imports are from Russia.
Russian Ambassador to Pakistan Alexey Dedov last week announced that Russia was willing to supply MI-35 to Pakistan to assist the country in fighting terrorism.
"Pakistan has expressed its interest in buying MI-35 helicopters and we have shown our willingness to provide them," he had said in Islamabad.
Pakistan's request for MI-35 helicopters, which is intended for combat missions on day-and-night basis in adverse weather conditions, was made in 2009, but Russia delayed the issue due to its traditional strong ties with India.
Issues relating to defence were later discussed in detail during Rogozin's meeting with Defence Minister Arun Jaitley.

We have had to rotate between an 8810 and 8810C in a system. Both units initially showed no signs of issues, however, both seem to intermittently cycle off after burning for an hour or less. They receive conditioned power from an ETA PD11SS. We have even bypassed the ETA and gone direct to the wall. Same issue. Both units have the latest firmware and will power again after a "hard" reset. Any logical advice. Thanks.

Surfbirds The Backyard Birding Experts!
Attract Orioles
|Orioles are truly beautifully colored birds. Males are a stunning mix of yellows, oranges and black. East of the plains, you will find the Baltimore Oriole. The male Baltimore oriole is bright orange with black and white wings, and it has a solid black head. The female below lacks the black head and back.
Another oriole of the Eastern US, is the smaller Orchard Oriole, which has a darker chestnut colored breast, a black head and tail, and black and white wings. It is located across the eastern United States from the Atlantic to the plains. Like its name suggests, it prefers orchards but can be seen in towns and rural areas.
In the western US, the Hooded Oriole is a bird of the south that nests in fan palm trees. Males are bright yellow with a black face and back and long black tail. Listen for their chattering call. Hooded Orioles can be encouraged to nectar feeders with fruit jelly and nectar and orange slices.
The most common oriole in the western part of the United States is the Bullock's Oriole. It can be identified by its orange cheeks and eyestripe and large white patches on its wings.
Although there are nine species of orioles which come to the United States from South America and Mexico, the above 4 species are the most regularly encountered. In the southern states, they arrive to build their nests at the beginning of April. In the north, they arrive between mid April and the beginning of May.
When the orioles first arrive from their long journey, they prefer to eat fruits and berries, but they will also eat insects. You can attract them to your yard with chopped pears, orange slices, chopped apples, or sliced bananas. These can be offered on a platform feeder or in a suet feeder. Suet that has fruit or insects in it is good to attract orioles. You also may want to try grape preserves or orange marmalade. You will need to replace these fruits and preserves daily to keep them as fresh as possible.
There are nectar feeders for orioles that are very similar to hummingbird feeders. Hummingbird feeders are usually red, and oriole feeders are orange and have larger feeding holes. Nectar for oriole feeders can be purchased, or you can make your own. This is done by boiling together one part sugar to six parts water. Let the mixture cool before putting it in the feeder, and store any leftovers in the refrigerator. The nectar will need to be changed every four to five days, and the feeder should be washed in hot soapy water.
You may want to consider planting certain trees and bushes, and you can offer nesting materials to attract orioles. They like elms, poplars, willows, and cottonwoods. They also like to feast on cherries, figs, and a variety of nuts. Pet fur, natural fiber twine, dull colored string, and natural colored yarn can be offered for nesting material. Make sure any strings you make available are no longer than six inches so the birds don't become tangled in them. Don't be discouraged if you don't attract orioles right away. It can take time to bring new birds to your yard. Seeing your first oriole will be well worth your time and effort.

I'm Addicted to That Baby Smell, and Science Backs Me UpDevan McGuinness
What's the first thing you do when you hold a new baby — yours or a friend's? You hold her up close to your face and breathe deeply, taking in all that glorious baby smell.
It's a hard smell to describe, but I can tell you that there's nothing in the world quite like it. I would even go as far as saying that baby smell has magical powers — science even backs it up, saying that the scent of a newborn can actually be addictive.
I have been wearing Silver a lot lately, thanks to the mid-day colic that keeps him fussy. Wearing him in a wrap close to my chest helps him sleep in the chaos of our house, and it does something else too — something for me.
His head is positioned perfectly just under my chin and I find myself bending my neck and taking in his sweet baby smell every few minutes. It seems that all the stress and frustrations of trying to get this baby to take that nap he so obviously needs start to float away. A warm fuzzy feeling replaces the frustrations, and it's no joke that nature designed it this way.
It's just as powerful as those first baby smiles. You could be near losing your mind from lack of sleep and your child's unwillingness to just… fall… asleep — and then getting a giant smile that just melts you. A baby's smell works the same way for me, especially when Silver is nuzzled up against me while I bounce away his colic or when we're cuddled up and nursing. I don't think I'll ever be able to say "goodbye" to the "high" feeling I get from that.
Seriously, whoever is able to figure out how to bottle that smell and sell it to the masses will not only make a lot of money, but they'll have a wonder drug on their hands too.

Avoid April Showers with These Historically Dry Travel Destinations
Thursday, March 28, 2013
In 1557, poet Thomas Tusser wrote, "Sweet April showers, do spring May flowers." The saying is true for many of us, but that doesn't mean you have to wait out those rainy days! We found 10 destinations that boast a historically dry April for you to enjoy while you await the May blooms.
Tampa, Florida
April is typically the second driest month of the year in Tampa. You can soak up the sun on a thrilling speedboat adventure or enjoy the views on a peaceful canoe trip. Located throughout the city, our five area Country Inn & Suites By Carlson hotels offer a mix of convenience and comfort.
Austin, Texas
The capital city of Texas sees an average of two inches of rain in April. The dry weather allows for visitors to enjoy spring festivals, such as the Austin Food + Wine Festival or Art City Austin. With three Country Inns & Suites hotels located just outside of the city, you can escape the hustle and bustle once you're ready to relax for the evening.
Calgary, Alberta
Head to this Canadian city and you are likely to see an inch of rain or less! So, get your heart racing at the famous Calgary Stampede or in the Scotiabank Saddledome, when flames shoot toward the ceiling during a Calgary Flames hockey game. You can stay near it all at the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Calgary Airport hotel.
New Delhi, India
You can enjoy all the outdoor shopping New Delhi has to offer, as the area saw barely a quarter of an inch of rainfall last April. The all-new Country Inn By Carlson Delhi Saket hotel is located in the city's stylish shopping and entertainment center at the DLF South Court Mall.
San Diego, California
The weather may not be diverse in April, with less than an inch of average rainfall, but San Diego's activities are certainly assorted. Visitors can discover the breathtaking coastal community of La Jolla, take a bike ride in South Bay, or stroll through the famous San Diego Zoo. The Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, San Diego North provides easy access to wherever your trip takes you.
Winnipeg, Manitoba
With less than two inches of precipitation in April, visitors can create memorable outdoor adventures at FortWhyte Alive nature center or the Artic Glacier Winter Park at the Forks. The Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Winnipeg is conveniently located near the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, which makes it the perfect home base for both business and leisure travelers.
Denver, Colorado
Visitors to Colorado's capital city will enjoy shopping and dining at Cherry Creek North, visiting the animals at the Denver Zoo, or hitting the links at one of the area's many golf courses, all with a minimal chance of April showers. If you are visiting over April 4–6, you can even catch some western action at the Rodeo All-Star Weekend. The Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Denver International Airport hotel is conveniently located near both the airport and downtown Denver so you can enjoy all the city has to offer.
Phoenix, Arizona
If you're anxious for summer, you may want to consider a trip to Phoenix in April. With perfect mid-80s temperatures and less than half an inch of rain, this Arizona city will have you soaking up the sun in no time. Ready to book your stay? Country Inns & Suites has four Phoenix-area hotels that will keep you near the area's top attractions.
Goa, India
As history proves, April sees very little to no rain at all in Goa, India. The Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Goa Candolim is located on a pristine setting near Candolim Beach and offers easy access to the best tourist attractions in Goa.
Raleigh, North Carolina
April is historically the driest month of the year in the capital of North Carolina. The Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Raleigh-Durham Airport is perfectly located between Raleigh and Durham, so you can easily enjoy a Durham Bulls baseball game or excellent shopping and dining in North Hills, an outdoor shopping area located in midtown Raleigh.
Are you escaping to drier climates during the wet month of April? Let us know where you're going in the comments section.

Nashira was a female Human Fallanassi during the reign of the Galactic Empire.
Nashira's people, the Fallanassi, were an order devoted to the service of the White Current, a power the rest of the galaxy knew more commonly as the Force. The ability of the Fallanassi to create immense illusions concerned then-Chancellor Palpatine, and after he declared himself Emperor, they became one of the first groups to be targeted. Luckily, the illusions also helped them hide their presence—until one of their own sold out their location to the Empire.
The leader of the Fallanassi, Wialu, eventually became aware of the treachery and the traitor, a young woman named Isela Talsava, was exiled from the Fallanassi forever. However, Wialu offered to allow Talsava's daughter Akanah to stay with the Fallanassi. Talsava refused and fled to the world of Carratos.
Some time later, Talsava changed her mind and contacted the Fallanassi about helping train Akanah in the practice of the White Current. Wialu sent Nashira to aide Talsava in teaching her daughter. Soon after Akanah was formally inducted into the Fallanassi circle, Nashira left the planet, leaving the completion of Akanah's training to her mother. Her fate after that remained unknown.
Years later, prior to the Black Fleet Crisis in 16 ABY, Akanah used Nashira's name to trick Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to help her. Akanah, who was tracking her people from whom she had been separated, told Luke that his mother, "Nashira", had been a Fallanassi. Eager to learn more about the mother he had never known, Luke accompanied Akanah on her search.

>Anita Hill
When she appeared on national TV in 1991, Anita Hill was a University of Oklahoma law professor testifying before a Senate committee about the alleged sexual misconduct of her former boss, Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. The ensuing uproar rattled her. "There were threats of death, rape, a bomb at my house," she says. "Once you have had your life threatened, it's not something you get over."
Nine years later, Hill, now 43, single and a professor of law, social policy and women's studies at Brandeis University, is back on-camera as an occasional contributor to Court TV's Crier Today, a daily talk show on which Hill and host Catherine Crier hold forth on cases ranging from a police shooting in New York City to the flying of the Confederate flag at the South Carolina State House. Live television "is not as glamorous as you might think," she says. Once, when a guest cut her off, she recalls, "I said, 'I was speaking. Please don't interrupt me.' This is what comes with being a teacher." So how would Professor Hill grade Justice Thomas? "I can't see that he's had a positive impact," she says.

What are you most proud of? Making a muslin and continuing to learn how to alter patterns and garments to get the right fit (shortening the front and back waist, decreasing the fullness in the bust).
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I am petite with a short waist, so making a muslin proved to be very helpful. I used 100% cotton, but now I feel inspired to make it out of other fabrics as well. I decided not to have contrasting fabric on the sleeve bands or bow so that the shirt looked a little more dressy and work appropriate and I'm happy with the results. Also, I purchased vintage pearl buttons which I think stand out a bit more with the simple fabric choice.
The pearl buttons are beautiful! Make it look really expensive! Can't believe this was your first blouse!
Are the 2 projects posted your first sewing projects? They are both exquisite!!! Your work is really inspiring!

CHP Patrol Sgt. Rick Miler said the truck driver lost control of his big rig at around 8:30 a.m. after hitting his breaks to slow down for traffic.
The driver "hydroplaned" and the back of the truck swung around and went up an embankment in the center divider, he said.
"There were no injuries, he didn't hit any other cars," Miler said. "We got lucky."
Southbound lanes on 1-5 were shut down for about 20 minutes to remove the truck from the freeway, Miler said. Lanes were opened at around 9:15 a.m., he said.

He replaces the retired Wes Cummings, who guided the Panthers to an 81-69 record since starting the program in 2009.
"We feel this will be a great transition for the baseball program at Davenport," Davenport athletic director Paul Lowden said in news release.
Tidey is the former Sparta High School baseball coach. He led the Spartans to four district championships, one regional title and an appearance in the state quarterfinals.
"I am very passionate about Davenport University and our baseball program," Tidey said in a news release. "I have been actively involved in starting this program from scratch, and I can't wait to see where it can go in the future. It was an honor to be an assistant the last few years and it will continue to be an honor to lead the program moving forward."
Tidey was a member of the coaching staff right from the start. He was part of a Davenport team that posted a 32-23 record in its debut as a team in 2009. The 2010 squad finished 21-28 and the Panthers rebounded to go 28-18 this year.

Stetson sand volleyball pair of Tiffany Creamer (Newnan, Ga.) and Kristin Lind (Tierp, Sweden) have been named the first Atlantic Sun Pair of the Week for the 2014 Sand Volleyball Season, the league announced on Tuesday.
Creamer and Lind went a perfect 5-0 at the Stetson Spring Break Tournament this past weekend. The freshmen pair earned a straight set 21-19, 21-11 win at the four seed to help Stetson to a season-opening victory against Tulane on Friday. The duo also claimed the B Bracket Championship in the pairs tournament on Saturday, defeating teams from Florida Gulf Coast, Warner, and Tulane. Creamer and Lind did not drop a set in their collegiate sand debut.
Stetson opens the season 2-0 after winning both of the weekend's matches.
The Hatters will play next in the Ron Jon Beach 'N Board Fest at Cocoa Beach. The first match is set for 11:30 a.m. on Friday against UNF.

In the first of an exclusive new column, New Malden's Tom Onslow-Cole reflects on an eventful first round of the British Touring Car Championship.
"There is always a lot of hype in the build-up to the first round of a new Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship season and last weekend's opener at Brands Hatch certainly lived up to that hype. All in all, it was a pretty positive weekend for me personally. Considering my car was only started for the first time on Friday afternoon, qualifying fifth for Sunday's first race was a good result.
I felt comfortable in the car and that feeling only continued to improve as the weekend progressed.
Being rear-wheel-drive, the BMW has always preserved its tyres better than its front-wheel-driven counterparts.
However, the addition of turbo engines built to the BTCC's latest Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) specification for the 2012 season has negated this advantage, particularly against full NGTC-spec machines with their 18-inch Dunlop tyres and bigger brakes. My eBay Motors team is working hard to claw back some of that advantage by adjusting the BMW's balance and set-up and I know there's a lot more time to come from me as a driver, especially away from the start line – I didn't realise how much I had forgotten about racing rear-wheel-drive. To share the winners' rostrum with my team-mate Robert Collard in the first race was a dream scenario but I came perilously close to missing out on the podium.
I failed to make use of the BMW's traction off the line by fluffing my start and an oversteering car left me vulnerable along the straights.
I had the pace to make it an eBay Motors one-two but yellow flags at the first two turns meant the best overtaking opportunities were lost.
This allowed Jason Plato to close on me and we were side-by-side as we exited the final turn. Thankfully, the BMW's mega traction gave me a slight edge and I crossed the line to take a very satisfying third. While a drive-through penalty for jumping the start and damage sustained from a tap on lap two meant I could not challenge for another podium in race two, I was pleased to salvage points for 10th place. My third race lasted until lap four when Mat Jackson's Ford Focus dumped a load of oil on the track causing a seven-car pile-up in the Druids hairpin gravel.
Unfortunately, it's just one of those unavoidable things that happen in motorsport from time to time – you don't get any warning and there's not a lot you can do when the wheels lock and the engine stalls. I tried to keep the car out of the wall but I was a passenger.
Considering we hadn't completed a race run with the turbocharged BMW, last weekend's results are highly encouraging and are testament to the hard work put in by my team on the car's chassis.
Next up are two of my most favourite circuits – Donington Park (April 14-15) followed by the ultra-high speed Thruxton circuit (April 28-29). I'm really excited about where the team's taking the car and I'm confident it will suit Donington's fast, flowing nature. I've achieved pole position there, I've won races and I'm well placed to achieve more big results this time."

Why I Will Never Shower With An Unpotty Trained 2-Year-Old Again!Danielle
This is Ben… We call him our messy kid.
No matter how much I wash him, wipe him down, or try to keep him clean, he gets damn close to looking like this basically every day. I guess that is just part of him being a boy right? Please agree with me for my sanity!
Well, yesterday afternoon we had our first birthday party at Chuck E Cheese with both of the boys since they have really been old enough to enjoy it. So after a morning of yard work with Daddy, both boys needed to be bathed before we set off on our adventure.
Daddy picked Camden, our almost 4 year old, so by default Ben and I jumped into the shower first while the other two finished up some yard work.
After getting into the bathroom and stripping my small fry down into nothing but I diaper I asked him if he pooped. He replied "No poop Mommy… Ok… no poop.
Then I asked him Do you have to poop Benjamin? "No poop Mommy" Ok, so I thought we were good to go. I mean you would too right?
I got into the shower to make sure the water was not too hot for him and then I picked him up to put him into the tub itself since he still needs a little bit of help getting in. Plus, I totally don't want to encourage climbing in the bath tub at all.
As I brought him into the tub, I looked down and it looked like he had stepped in poop. I immediately looked on the bath mat where he been standing prior to being lifted into the tub… and there it was… POOP! As soon as I got in to check the water apparently he DID have to poop. I was lucky enough that he did his business on the bath mat and not in the tub right?
WRONG! He continued to poop IN the shower. Oh joy!
As I yelled, and laughed hysterically at the same time he was beyond confused as to what was going on while I was trying to clean it all up before it actually made it to my feet!
Oh the glamorous life of being a Mom right?
And you can bet your ass one day I will tell this tale to one of his high school girlfriends!
Have you ever had a toddler bathroom incident along these lines?
These real parents offer advice: How to potty train your toddler!

Red Wings coach Mike Babcock played a lovely psychological card this afternoon, as the Macomb Daily's Bruce MacLeod notes:
October 15, RedWingsCorner: Despite being 2-1-0 and having won the Stanley Cup and President's Trophy last season and adding Marian Hossa and Ty Conklin to an already stacked lineup, Coach Mike Babcock said that the Red Wings are just one of the pack chasing the NHL elite.
"It's pretty apparent to me when you look at the league right now, San Jose and the Rangers are the class of the league," said Babcock. "They're both 4-0 or 5-0 or something like that. They must be the class of the league. The rest of us are catching up."
The Detroit News's Dave Dye gives the comment a big "ditto":
October 15, Detroit News: Coachspin is always rather humorous. Sometimes, it takes all your power not to burst out laughing. One of those moments came Wednesday after the Red Wings' practice.
Wings coach Mike Babcock was evaluating the first week of the NHL season when he said, "It's pretty apparent to me, when you look at the league right now, San Jose and the Rangers are the class of the league. The rest of us are trying to catch up."
Oh, the psychology of a coach. It's a wonderful thing.
I'm sure Sharks coach Todd McLellan and Rangers coach Tom Renney will a good long chuckle at that one, too.
The Windsor Star's Dave Waddell noted the why of Babcock's remarks:
October 15, Windsor Star: A week into the season and Wings coach Mike Babcock said teams are already establishing a pecking order around the league.
"It's pretty apparent to me when you look at the league that San Jose and the Rangers are the class of the league," Babcock said. "They're both 4-0 or 5-0, they must be the class of the league and the rest of us are trying to catch up."
That's why Babcock has been emphasizing to his team the importance of a good start.
Each of the past four eventual Stanley Cup champions got off to great starts.
"If you're behind after 20 (games) it's hard to catch up," Babcock said. "To me the start is so important. It's the start that gets you the confidence that allows you to win every night. No one gives it to you, you earn it."
A good week does not "the class of the league" make, but the last part of Babcock's comments provides the rub--he wants his team to start as strongly as possible, and the Wings face a stiff challenge in the Canucks, who want to rebound from a 5-1 loss to the Washington Capitals on Monday.

Editor's note: Thanks to CA reader and friend of the site Ben Rathe for sending me this well-put-together piece on T.Y. Hilton's usage last season. As always, we welcome any commentary or criticism that is well thought-out in order to facilitate discussion. You can follow Ben on Twitter here. – KJR
In his otherwise excellent piece over at Bleacher Report, Kyle repeated something about a player that I've heard dozens of times from Colts fans over the course of the last 10 months. The player is T.Y. Hilton and the accusation is that he's, as Kyle put it, 'underutilized.' Others use different words but whichever turn of phrase you choose, the thrust is the same; that Hilton doesn't get a fair bite of the proverbial cherry when it comes to the Colts offensive game-plan.
Hilton is an explosive playmaker who has made one of the best starts to an NFL career of any WR ever, so while there is arguably no upper limit on the number of times you get the ball in his hands, I don't think that's what people mean when they use words like 'underutilized.'
To me, when people says he's underutilized, they're attacking the coaching staff for not getting him in the game enough, or putting other receivers in situations to succeed instead of Hilton.
There's only one problem; it isn't accurate. And set out below is my own statistical attempt to prove it. In order to do this, I've gone through a process of looking at how often Hilton was on the field , what he was actually doing when he was on there and how his usage compares to other receivers across the league.
And then I'll tell you what the actual problem was.
Let's kick off by looking at the pure snap counts for our WR core last year.
Considering Pep's love of running the ball, using the FB and running heavy sets with multiple tight ends or extra linemen, 73% is a surprisingly high number of snaps for a 5'9" receiver who weighs 183lbs. But pure snap counts can only be relied upon so far when judging a WRs use. They don't take into account whether a player was targeted on a play, or indeed whether it was a passing play at all.
Fortunately, the folks over at PFF provide a better stat to truly measure a players use in the passing game: pass routes run. As the name suggests, this measures the number of times a receiver ran an out into a pattern on a pass play. This means you can actually look at how often a WR was out in a pattern & eligible to receive a pass, eliminating those plays where Hilton stood as the outside receiver as Trent Richardson ran into the backside of his offensive line for the 10th time that day.
So here's how the Colts WR (+ leading TE Coby Fleener) stack up over the course of the regular season:
So 533 routes in total, though it's worth bearing in mind that this doesn't take into account what happened on the play. So if Hilton runs a route and then the QB is sacked, or scrambles for rushing yards, then that will still count as a route run even if there wasn't a pass attempt.
If you add together the total number of passes, sacks & QB runs (I don't think there were any designed QB runs in the regular season) last year that gives the Colts a total of 677 'eligible' passing plays last year, which means Hilton was an eligible receiver on nearly 80% of all Colts passing plays, a far greater number than any of the other receivers over the course of the year.
So we've established that Hilton was on the field for nearly three-quarters of all offensive snaps and was running a route on around 4 in 5 pass attempts the Colts had. That's great Ben, you're saying (I hope…) but I'm still not convinced. Well that's good, because I'm not QUITE done.
For most people, the most important measure of a receivers use is how often you attempt to get the ball in their hands. Players can be on the field and run as many routes as you like, but if the ball is not being thrown at them then they aren't helping put points on the board and helping get wins.
If we take the above 'routes run' stat and then look at a players targets, it allows us to work out how often a player was targeted in comparison to how many routes they ran. This paints a much clearer picture than just looking pure targets, as it levels the playing field for players whose teams didn't throw as much, or who were injured for some games. The results for TY Hilton are quite striking.
This is how Hilton compares to the rest of the Colts receivers.
So not only was Hilton running more routes than any other receiver, he was more likely to get the ball than other receivers when running those routes as well.
And just before anyone comments about Wayne being injured skews the above figures, take a look at the split in just the first 7 weeks when Wayne was fully healthy.
There are a couple of things to note about this:
- Through the first 7 games, Hilton was more likely to be targeted than any other receiver, including a fully fit Reggie, when they ran routes.
- Hilton's target % was actually HIGHER in the first 7 weeks than the remainder of the season.
- In the first 7 games, Hilton averaged 30 routes per game. In the final 9 games, he averaged 35 routes a game, so it wasn't like he suddenly saw the field a dramatic amount more.
Now here is the bit that shocked even me when I was researching this article. I did the target % of every WR in the league and then eliminated those who had less than 90 targets, left me with a list of 41 receivers.
Remember, the point of this table is to illustrate the use of these receivers regardless of the system they are playing in.
As you can see, Hilton is keeping some rather elite company in terms of his involvement. How many Browns fans were complaining that Josh Gordon wasn't involved in the offensive system enough? I didn't hear many Bears fans saying Alshon Jeffrey was 'underutilized'. Did any Eagles fan say that DeSean Jackson wasn't in the game plan enough? You get my point.
Heck, Demaryius Thomas, Larry Fitzgerald, Eric Decker & Jordy Nelson don't even make it into the top 20.
So what's all this really mean? Here's my conclusion in two sentences:
T.Y. Hilton wasn't underutilized in the Colts offense. Andrew Luck's right arm was.
Now you may think this is just semantics, but it's really important to differentiate between criticism about how one player is used in the offense and the offensive system itself. .
The fault with the Colts offense wasn't that we didn't pass to T.Y. Hilton enough. It was that we didn't pass enough full stop.
There were 28 WRs in the league that ran more routes than Hilton. He ran 90 fewer routes than Brian Hartline. Think about that for a second.
I know this sounds like I'm arguing against myself, but bear in mind that I've already shown that Hilton was easily the most utilised receiver in the Colts offense and was targeted as much as some of the most elite receivers in the league. The problem wasn't Hilton in the offense. It was the offense.
We have one of the premier QBs in the league and yet were 15th in pass attempts. Just look at what happens if you upscale Hilton's stats to the passing levels of other elite QBs:
So next time you're tempted to complain how underutilized T.Y. Hilton was last year, stop. Instead write how underutilized the entire passing game was, because that's the reality of the situation.

Kelly Price (Def Soul)
On "Introlude (The Pricey Bunch)," the first track on her fourth CD, R&B star Kelly Price quickly proves her worth as a vocalist. She reworks the theme of The Brady Bunch with a gospel fervor that transforms the song into her personal testimony: "Here's the story of a project baby who was dreaming of a better way of life." No doubt Price, with her roof-raising delivery, could sing the Yellow Pages and make you shiver. Unfortunately, she spends too much of this disc on material that doesn't measure up to her mighty voice (which, although the singer has dropped more than 130 lbs., has lost none of its heft). Hip-hoppish midtempo numbers like "Take It to the Head" (featuring rapper Keith Murray) aren't hip at all. At least on soul-soaked ballads like the organ-fueled "Strong Man (Jeff in C Minor)," Price gives you more for your money.
BOTTOM LINE: First-rate singer, cut-rate songs

Departing from whiggish grand narratives of innovation, the special issue of the Revue d'histoire du XIXe sičcle will analyze the social uses and processes of co-construction of technology and society. Although historical literature has mostly produced views on the rise of new technologies, recent studies have offered new perspectives on the social uses of things and the role of technology in the everyday fashioning of social order. Inspired by the sociology of science, the SCOT programme (Social Construction of Technology), based on the study of individual items, greatly contributed to this new point of view, discussing how technologies were socially defined and constructed. This constructivist turn, which took place in the 1980s, strongly influenced French pragmatic sociology, with greater attention on actors and their agencies. In this context, technology became a new and richer instrument to understand the social and political order. New research in social science, questioning technological practices, has flourished (Gilbert Simondon, Bruno Latour…). However, it paradoxically remains underrepresented in 19th century studies, technology being appended to economic and industrial history.
Yet, the nineteenth century underwent a fast-growing spread of technological equipment, as well as faith in technology and its liberal endowment, which thus became characteristic to advanced capital societies. In addition, 19th century everyday life was dramatically changed by technological items.
Internalist studies of structures and "technological systems" (Bertrand Gilles) have become one way to analyze technology experienced in everyday life, through the analysis of social actors, representations, practices and negotiations. Social studies used new methodologies, such as direct or participant observation, frame and interaction analysis, or had recourse to family or life histories. Historians developed new thinking on tools and methodology implied by technological study: it supposed the taking into consideration of common people's creativity and the ongoing tricks they employed to make their way into the crowd of goods (Michel de Certeau). In this perspective, technological items and their systems dynamically acquired identities through their uses and forms. Contrasting with the dominant perspective of possession, dominant in material culture studies until recently, consumption studies have recently analyzed the successive mutations of artefacts, from their trade to their social uses, and, extending 18th century studies on uses of technology, have underlined their marketing, retailing and publicity. In terms of space, devices circulated between the public and domestic spheres, with that of labour.

Located at La Baie, Grande-Anse Marine Terminal was originally built as a forest product terminal. The recent diversification program has transformed it into a general-cargo terminal. The tonnage handled consists primarily of wood pulp, paper, de-icing salt, caustic soda, liquid tar and general cargo. Its isolation from the urban area makes it a popular site for the location of major industries. Construction of this facility began on May 1, 1984, the first vessel tied up on November 25, 1985 and the facilities were officially opened in October 1986. The wharf was officially named the Quai-Marcel-Dionne at the naming ceremony held on August 27, 2004 to honour the memory of Marcel Dionne.
On June 30, 2004, the Grande-Anse Marine Terminal received a statement of compliance for a port facility under the International Ship and Port Facility (ISPS) Code, which allows the Terminal to receive vessels coming from abroad.

Great Gel
I love that this gel doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky. I use a straightening iron because I have very curly hair and this is my favorite product to use when I plan to straighten my hair.

Excellent Humectant
I have been using this for years in conjunction with PM's Super Skinny Serum. I am African American with very long, very thick wavy/curly hair. I love wearing my hair straight & I gave up on perms years ago. Because I like the option of wearing my curly in the summer. Which is what I had to do before this product. But with this product I have options. It protects very well against the rain & humidity in the summer here in Philly. And I have run out of Super Skinny serum & just used this & my hair was straight & shiny. It is very light & smells great. I actually use Isoplus haircreme to lay my hair down because is so light it's like having nothing in your hair.

This is part one of a series where we will see how the current Indians depth chart compares against the other teams in the AL Central. The biggest emphasis will be placed on the changes between this and last year's rosters. We will start with the team that finished last in the AL Central in 2013, the Chicago White Sox.
2013 Results
|White Sox
|CLE vs CWS
Starting Rotation
Both teams have lost starters during the offseason, but the Indians lost theirs (Ubaldo Jimenez and Scott Kazmir) to free agency, while the White Sox had a choice as they traded Hector Santiago to the Nationals. Of those remaining, the White Sox easily win the battle of the aces with a young Chris Sale expected to vastly outperform the Indians' Justin Masterson. After that, however, the situation reverses. The Indians have Zach McAllister, Corey Kluber and Danny Salazar who are all young, but have been stable, while the White Sox only have John Danks and Jose Quintana for sure. Erik Johnson (5 career starts), Felipe Paulino (4.93 career ERA) and Andre Rienzo (10 career starts) are anything but known quantities and the Sox will need them to make up the final two spots of the rotation. The Indians only have this worry with their fifth spot as Josh Tomlin, Shaun Marcum and Trevor Bauer will be competing for final starter.
Advantage: Cleveland
Both teams had above average bullpens in 2013 and both teams lost their closer during the off-season. Again, the Indians closer, Chris Perez, left for free agency, while Addison Reed was sent in a trade to the Diamondbacks. While the White Sox appear to be filling their whole internally, the Indians have since added new closer John Axford. As for the rest of the bullpen, the Indians still have Cody Allen, Bryan Shaw and Marc Rzepczynski returning after excellent seasons while the White Sox have been forced to advance some of their underperforming players into more prominent positions. While it is possible that Donnie Veal and Ronald Belisario could have career years, chances are things will be rough in the late innings in the South side.
Advantage: Cleveland
Here, the two teams have another thing in common. Both have been attempting to trade their short stops who have under performed during their career and both have been unsuccessful. The good thing for the Indians here is that Asdrubal Cabrera (while no Gold Glover) is a million times better defensively than his counter part, Alexei Ramirez. The rest of the infield and catching situation should be similar to 2013, but in the outfield there have been some shifting. The Indians lost defensive specialist Drew Stubbs, while the White Sox have replaced the statuesque Adam Dunn with Avasail Garcia and the error prone Alejandro De Aza with Adam Eaton (from Washington in exchange for Santiago). While these changes definitely improve Chicago defensively, the Indians still have Michael Bourn in center and Michael Brantley in left, who are far superior to Eaton and Dayan Viciedo.
Advantage: Cleveland
While it is impossible to know for sure until he plays in the Major Leagues, the White Sox may have added the biggest bat in the Central this off-season in Cuban slugger, Jose Abreu. Abreu will replace Paul Konerko at first, although Konerko will remain on the roster, splitting time with Adam Dunn at DH. This essentially means that the White Sox have three first baseman who can out-hit the Indians' Nick Swisher. They also have a viable DH, while Cleveland is planning on using Carlos Santana in that role with Yan Gomes catching. In the outfield, the White Sox upgrades are even more obvious. Garcia (who actually came during the 2013 season) is superior to David Murphy (or Ryan Raburn) and Eaton is at least an improvement over De Aza. In left, Brantley still holds the advantage as an average hitter, but Viciedo is much more the power threat. Overall, the White Sox should have no problems at all hitting the long ball in 2014, while the Indians may struggle to hit anything at all. Both teams had team averages around .250 last season (below the league average of .256), so the difference in power in Chicago could be a deciding factor in which offense is more productive.
Advantage: Chicago
While both teams have made changes this off-season, the White Sox have made a concerted effort to increase their offense, while the Indians have pretty much sat still. Of course, these moves cost Chicago a lot of pitching talent, including their number two starter and closer, while the Indians have been working to revamp their bullpen and already had top internal options for the starting rotation. In the end, the Indians still are the better team, but it is very unlikely that the Indians will be able to finish 15 games above .500 in 2014 against their divisional foes. Look for a much more even record, with probably between two and five games difference.

The earliest written historical account of the modern game of golf is when King James II banned the game in 1457, deeming it an unwelcome distraction to the sport of archery.
Golf's origins were on the coasts of Scotland, utilizing the strips of non-farmable land along the beaches, with folks hitting small stones around the sand dunes with sticks or clubs. The game has progressed a bit since then, and the direction its evolution has taken provides many unforeseen benefits for our modern day community.
Over the last three months I have enjoyed exploring and photographing our local courses, daily watching the changes that the spring season brings.
Trees bore this year's leaves, migratory birds returned, the animals did their courtships and the many flowering plants came into bloom. Not being a golfer, I view these large tracts of land through the eyes of a photographer and writer who loves both solitude and diversity. What I see is a very wise use of land that serves a multitude of purposes.
For the wildlife, this land allows an invaluable buffer between wilderness and civilization.
Deer, fox, coyote, raccoon, squirrel, alligators, otter and all manner of bird life actively use these spaces to live, breed and play. All manner of trees, bushes and grasses have space to grow and flourish.
Locally, we are blessed with numerous ecosystems which can all be clearly observed within a relatively small space.
Most local courses include aspects of the marine environment, freshwater swamps, lagoons, ponds and lakes as well as features of coastal forests. Clubhouses serve as community centers, bringing together neighborhoods with a vast array of sporting, social and charity events.
Yet for all of their likenesses, each local course has its own characteristics and personality.
Every one is a unique sculpture of land that bears testament to our creativity, diversity and persistence as a specie.
The festive feel of Patriots Point built on land created from the dredging of the harbor contrasts with the wilderness diversity of Bulls Bay sculpted with dirt obtained by the creation of numerous lakes.
The resort feel of Wild Dunes' two courses contrasts with the wilderness feel of the two on Daniel Island – all feel pristine and exclusive, but each in a different way.
And the neighborhood courses of Snee, Rivertowne, Dunes West and Charleston National not only give residents large green spaces but serve as community focal points.
Recent decades have brought an explosion of growth to this area in which nearly every nook and cranny has been claimed for one purpose or another. Yet this growth has been well orchestrated.
The cooperation of the community to set aside areas as natural, historic and public sanctuaries has been remarkable.
This is well complemented by the lands privately developed for this game we call golf.
Taken together they are an impressive legacy of conservation and preservation that with continued good stewardship will serve many generations to come.

Inbee Park Takes Evian Masters
Inbee Park began the final round of the Evian Masters tied for the lead with Stacy Lewis, but the South Korean closed with a 6-under 66 to get her first victory since the 2008 U.S. Women's Open.
The 24-year-old totaled 17-under 271 over 72 holes at Evian-les-Bains in France to finish two strokes ahead of Lewis (68) and Karrie Webb (67). The victory, Park's second on the LPGA Tour, was worth $487,500.
"It feels great," said Park, who on Sunday carded two bogeys and seven birdies - including three straight on the closing holes. "It was four years ago but it feels longer than that. I finished the round with some really strong putting."
China's Shanshan Feng shot a 66 to tie for fourth at 14-under 274 with Natalie Gulbis (68) and 17-year-old Korean amateur Hyo Joo Kim (68). Feng eagled the par-5 18th after holing out from a greenside bunker. Foo, who plans to turn pro in September, carded four birdies, including three on her final four holes.
Anna Nordqvist took solo seventh at 276 after a 68, while right behind at 11-under was Se Ri Pak (769). Beatriz Recari (66), Ilhee Lee (69) and Paula Creamer (70) shared ninth at 10-under 278.
American Cristie Kerr began the final round only two shots behind Park and Lewis, but posted an even-par 72 to end up tied for 12th with Giulia Sergas (67), Karine Icher (69) and Momoko Ueda (69).
The Evian Masters will become the LPGA Tour's fifth major in 2013, and that wasn't lost on Park. "I'll feel really special playing this event as a defending champion," said Park. "I'm really excited for this tournament, because they're redoing all the golf course and all that to make it a major."

See Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake on the Set of the Coen Brothers' 'Inside Llewyn Davis'
Posted on Monday, February 27th, 2012 by Russ Fischer
These aren't the most exciting set photos we've ever seen, but the interest in a new movie from Joel and Ethan Coen trumps any lack of zing in individual photos from the set of one of their films. In this case, the Brothers are now in New York City shooting Inside Llewyn Davis, a film that is based in part on the life of folk musician Dave Van Ronk, who was part of the mid-'60s Greenwich Village folk music upswing.
The onscreen analog of Van Ronk is played by up and coming actor Oscar Isaac (Sucker Punch, Drive) while Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake play a married couple, with Timberlake's character a rival to Isaac's. The photos will give you a good idea of the period details the Coens have assembled for the film. Check them out below. Read More »

text: Q: As a longtime Kahului resident, I have noticed that the residential area over the years has construction that appears not to be in compliance with zoning and building codes, such as apartment-type buildings, rental units, multiple-family dwellings that are constructed in addition to the allowed second dwelling on a lot. Also, there are a number of building extensions which extend up to the property line not respecting the setback line. My understanding is that any construction that takes place requires a building permit, so do these buildings have the county's blessings? I have also noticed a number of commercial-type activity within the residential area like the overnight parking of large trucks, heavy equipment, commercial-type boats and large trailers on the road right-of-way.

This spring, a record 4,313 students enrolled at UH-Maui College (UH-MC). To help these students succeed, the college offers a variety of support services: tutorials to help students with mathematics and other courses, advising and counseling to help with personal and career challenges, and faculty and staff who will assist with everything from coursework to child care.
To get started, new students need to take their college entrance tests and submit scores, declare their residency if local, and complete a health clearance form confirming that immunizations are current. For students needing financial aid, there are additional forms.
To help with these requirements and other questions students might have, UH-MC now requires a mandatory New Student Orientation program for Maui County high school graduates. Student Life offers this four-hour program, which covers advising, registration and program options. A checklist for prospective students is also available at maui.hawaii.edu/nso/checklist.html.
If you are a high school student, or the parents of a high school student, here are some dates to remember:
Registration for UH-MC Summer School and Fall Semester courses begins April 11, 2011.
Applications for admission to UH-MC were accepted as early as January, and are available on our campus website: www.maui.hawaii.edu.
Though the main deadline for financial aid has passed, students needing financial assistance are still encouraged to get help from the Educational Opportunity Center (EOC), located in the Ho'okipa building on the Kahului campus. Last year, EOC assisted 1,550 new and continuing students to apply for scholarships and file their financial aid forms.
To help place students in the appropriate classes, UH-MC requires all freshmen to take the COMPASS placement tests in math and English. Each test takes about an hour and is offered through The Learning Center locally, or other community college or ACT centers for students who live off-island. Taking care of test requirements early can reduce last-minute anxieties. Transfer students from outside the UH system will need to have their transcripts mailed from their prior institutions.
Finally, all new students attend the General Student Orientation sessions offered at the beginning of each semester. These sessions introduce new students to the campus facilities, activities and staff. Students who participate in campus orientations make new friends and discover the many services here on campus to help them achieve success. For dates and times of GSO and NSO sessions, call the Student Life office at 984-3434.
Admission to college need not be difficult if students start early and take it in manageable steps. But we also like to remind students that no amount of support can substitute for their own hard work and enthusiasm for learning. Education does not come easily, and it requires dedication, sacrifice, and discipline. Is it worth it? Given the uncertainties of our global, national, regional and local economies, a college education is one of the best investments one can make. It will increase the income you're likely to earn. According to a 2008 report by the U.S. Census Bureau, the typical full-time worker with a four-year college degree earned on average 87 percent more than a worker with only a high school diploma, or $58,613 compared to $31,283.
Increase your flexibility in a tough economy
Increase your chances for good health
Appreciate in value over time
UH-MC offers a wealth of certificate and degree programs. If you're thinking of coming to college, there's no time like the present to get started.
* Clyde Sakamoto is chancellor of the University of Hawaii Maui College. Ka'ana Mana'o, which means "sharing thoughts," is scheduled to appear the fourth Sunday of each month. It is penned by UH Maui College staff and is intended to provide the community of Maui County information about opportunities available through the college at its Kahului campus and its education centers.

George Washington Book Prize Goes to Pauline Maier for Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution, 1787-1788Historians in the News
MOUNT VERNON, Va., May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The seventh annual George Washington Book Prize, co-sponsored by Washington College, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and George Washington's Mount Vernon, honoring the year's best book about America's founding era, has been awarded to Pauline Maier for Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution, 1787-1788 (Simon & Schuster, 2010). Maier, author of five previous books on the history of revolutionary America, received the $50,000 prize Wednesday evening, May 25, at a black-tie dinner at George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens.
"This book will really prove to be an eye-opener to many people who think that drafting the Constitution was the end of a long road to creating a strong and effective government," said Mount Vernon's president, James C. Rees. "But getting the document ratified was an uphill struggle most historians ignore, and on more than one occasion, the entire unification process was almost doomed to failure."
The debates over drafting the Constitution that took place in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 have long been enshrined in American history. But Maier's book reveals an equally dramatic and essential -- though almost forgotten -- series of debates that played out during the year that followed, as citizens, journalists, and politicians argued state-by-state over whether to ratify the nation's founding document....
