EAST LANSING, Mich. -
Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo
Opening statement...
It's tough to win a game and not feel good about it, I feel frustrated. We wanted to come out and play hard against what we thought, on tape, was a very good, solid basketball team. I thought most of the first half we played exceptionally well. Defensively, we were bordering on real good. We rebounded the ball pretty well, we executed pretty well. We got Drew Neitzel some good shots - the whole team did that. We just had a bunch of guys that missed again, some easy shots and lay-ups. We tried to regroup and start off the second half with a bang and we started alright, we made three baskets in a row. And then after that, I think we showed our immaturity and our inexperience. That's not going to cut it. I was disappointed. We ended with 16 turnovers which was a shame because I think we we're playing pretty well. To shoot 35 percent is a shame because we had enough good shots. When the energy level goes down, everything falls apart. We didn't rebound as well the second half, we turned the ball over more the second half, we missed easy shots. I'm not just writing it off either, its inexcusable for us to have as many players play casual as we had. Unfortunately, it overshadowed an incredible performance by Drew Neitzel.
On the play of the guards...
I think our players do deserve some credit. Travis Walton made some great passes to Drew Neitzel. I thought we set some good screens for Drew (Nietzel), and he used them well. I think he shot the ball extremely well, especially from the three-point line. But maybe as impressive, our guards did a better job rebounding than our bigs did.
On the play of Drew Neitzel...
Some say he could sit on a nickel and swing his legs. He's not real tall, but he's got a big heart. He did a heck of a job, in all aspects (of the game). I thought his defense was good, and I thought he played with some energy.
Vermont Head Coach Mike Lonergan
On playing the third Top-25 caliber team...
All those teams were good, and I think Drexel's probably a top 40 team right now. We've played a very difficult schedule; we were able to get one of the wins against the big boys, Boston College. I think that Michigan State is obviously the best rebounding team. They have great chemistry. We went into the game trying to stop Neitzel, limit his shots and we just didn't do a good job. We got off to a horrible start, and we struggled to score because of their defense. And they kept us off the glass with their offensive boards. Their size really hurt us, and Drew Neitzel had a great game.
On MSU's physical presence...
I thought Martin Klimes had some good looks early, but just couldn't score. He and Chris Holm really struggled to get any production. I don't think anyone on our team hit a jump shot past 15 feet, except for Joe Trapani. If you're not scoring inside when you play teams this level, you want to play off the ball and hit the threes. We didn't get a whole lot of open looks and when we did, we didn't knock down any jump shots tonight

The itinerary for the week was great which helped as did the weather (7 sunny days) but without a doubt it was the staff team on board that made the experience so wonderful. Without exception from the moment of arrival all the staff - waiters, chefs, cabin stewards, reception staff, SPA staff, shop staff and the fabulous entertainment team were so professional and so hard working in order to give the best customer experience they possibly could. The evening entertainment was top class with varied shows and energetic dancing every evening - they delivered 2 top class shows every night and still found the time afterwards to mingle with guests and were genuinely interested in making sure you had a good time. A wonderful entertainments team humbly led by Paul the cruise director, who you could tell led the team well and there was an obvious respect amongst them as well as fantastic team spirit. Great touches like thanking all the team each night and not once mentioning himself or the usual cheesy someone else thanks him over the microphone. Not just good entertainment but intelligent and professional not like some "cheesy" entertainment offered in hotels.
The cabin was so much more spacious than we expected, we had an outside plus on deck 7 which was great. Plenty of storage space, 100% clean and maintained throughout by our friendly cabin steward.

If I had three words to sum up Sir Alex Ferguson, the man and the football manager, they would be tenacious, caring, winner.
He has got the characteristic of so many great leaders. He makes a decision and sticks with it. If you are in a position of power you have to make decisions. There is no point prevaricating, there's no point messing around. He is very quick and decisive. The further you get up the tree the easier it is to analyse things and by the time you have made the decision the opportunity is perhaps lost whereas he

WAILUKU - The future appears bright for the Baldwin High School football team, but the Bears' present is over.
Fourth-seeded Baldwin lost 21-3 to Farrington in a First Hawaiian Bank Division I State Championship quarterfinal in front of about 2,000 fans on an emotional Friday night at War Memorial Stadium.
The Governors played the game with heavy hearts - a moment of silence was held before the opening kickoff for Dayne Ortiz, a senior defensive back for Farrington who was lost at sea in a kayaking incident at Mokuleia Beach on Nov. 2. He has not been found.

The Governors wore "DO 29" on one side of their helmets to note Ortiz's uniform number and honor their teammate.
"I just asked to bless everybody on their way home and to bless the family of Dayne Ortiz," said Baldwin senior linebacker Teva Eldridge after he led a postgame prayer involving both teams. "Just bless everybody and thank God for watching over us tonight."
The Governors (9-3) rallied from an early deficit and took a 14-3 lead into the locker room after outgaining the Bears 197 yards to 31. Farrington finished with 407 yards, while Baldwin (6-5) had 111.

Farrington went 69 yards in 14 plays in the third quarter before Kekoa Sasaoka's 37-yard field-goal try bounced off the upright with 47 seconds left in the period.
On their next possession, the Bears stopped the Governors on downs at the Baldwin 10-yard line with 6:46 to play. The Bears did not gain a yard, however, and were forced to punt. Farrington then needed just five plays to go 45 yards and punch in its final touchdown on a 7-yard run by Sitaleki Hufanga with 3:49 to play.
Baldwin's first third-down conversion came on the final play of the third quarter on a 5-yard reception by Jeremiah Badillo. Four of the Bears' 11 first downs were via penalty and they finished 2-for-11 on third-down conversions.
"We just tried to push each other, our defense tried to hype up our offense," Eldridge said. "We tried to get everybody motivated, but, you know, we came up short."
Baldwin's best chance in the second half ended with an interception by Roger Boyd with 1:15 to play at the Farrington 3. It was the Govs' third interception of sophomore quarterback Taje Akaka-Foster, the only turnovers in the game.
The Governors had been 0-3 in state tournament games on Maui against the Bears, with losses in 1999, 2007 and 2011. Farrington is now 2-5-1 all-time against Baldwin.
"Bittersweet win," Governors coach Randall Okimoto said. "We want to be happy, but at the same time we still feel the pain of the loss. We talked about it and we just said, 'Hey, keep our heads in the game. We don't want to be over-emotional' and they came out, and like you said, I'm proud of them."
Farrington advances to a semifinal game next week at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu against No. 1 seed Punahou.
"It doesn't make up for the loss, not at all, but it sure is better than losing," Okimoto said. "Our hearts go out to our family and the Ortiz family. Everything was for him."
Baldwin took a 3-0 lead on a 43-yard field goal by Ricky Casco less than five minutes into the game.
After Casco boomed the ensuing kickoff into the end zone, Farrington went 80 yards in eight plays and took the lead on a 9-yard touchdown run by Sanele Lavatai, who finished with 105 rushing yards, all in the first half.
Hufanga carried 13 times for 75 yards, all in the second half, as Lavatai concentrated on linebacker.
Late in the second quarter, the Govs got the ball at the Bears' 32 after Noah Apolo's 13-yard punt under heavy pressure, and scored on a 12-yard pass from Montana Liana to Jacob Baguio with 32 seconds to go in the half.
Dusty Flores, the second-leading rusher in the Maui Interscholastic League this season, was limited to 9 yards on nine carries. Kawela Kaeo-Mata, the leading receiver in the MIL, had two receptions for 16 yards Friday.
Akaka-Foster was 17-for-26 for 107 yards in a game that Baldwin coach Keneke Pacheco said will set the stage for next season.
"It was a good game for us, a good coming-out," Pacheco said. "It was emotional, it was emotional for us, it was emotional for them. I'm pleased with what I saw from my young men. We are going to use that as a springboard for next year.
"Anytime you can get these young men playing at the state level it is a great thing. For them, it is experience. Anytime you play a team of this caliber, you get that experience under your belts, that's huge."

Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Baby Bottles are designed to help reduce colic thanks to each bottle's internal vent system. These fully vented bottles offer vacuum-free feeding, which mimics breastfeeding, making transitions easier for babies. The vent system reduces air bubble oxidation of the milk, and this action helps preserve the vitamins, especially vitamins A,C, and E and lipids. The BPA-free bottles are lightweight and easy to clean. They are available in four-ounce and eight-ounce versions in standard and wide-neck.
These bottles are a classic and are certainly part of a go-to brand. If you have a baby who has problems with gas and burping, these bottles are worth a try.
Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Baby Bottles are recommended for all babies.
One thing to note on these bottles is that the vent system is hard to clean. If you leave your bottles with milk or formula in it for a few days, which happens, bacteria starts to build almost immediately, and this is near impossible to get out.
Dr. Brown's also makes glass baby bottles, which are sold separately.

The Supreme Court dove into a historic debate on gay rights yesterday that could soon lead to resumption of same-sex marriage in California
And the court's first major examination of gay rights in 10 years continues today when the justices will consider the federal law that prevents legally married gay couples from receiving a range of benefits afforded straight married people.
As the Associated Press reported, the issue before the court on Tuesday was more fundamental: Does the Constitution require that people be allowed to marry whom they choose, regardless of either partner's gender?
The AP noted that the fact the question was in front of the Supreme Court at all was startling, given that no state recognized same-sex unions before 2003 and 40 states still don't allow them.
Demonstrators on both sides of the issue crowded the grounds outside the court yesterday, waving signs, sometimes chanting their feelings, the AP reported.
Inside the court, some of the justices signaled that they had doubts about whether or not the court should even hear the challenge to California's Proposition 8, the state's voter-approved ban on gay marriages. .
Justice Anthony Kennedy, the potentially decisive vote on a closely divided court, suggested the justices could dismiss the case with no ruling at all.
Such an outcome would almost certainly allow gay marriages to resume in California but would have no impact elsewhere.
Roughly 18,000 couples were wed in the nearly five months that same-sex marriage was legal and those marriages remain valid in California.

Sue-Ann Gregg The Make-up GirlAll Woman Monday, July 28, 2014
IN just under three years, Sue-Ann Gregg has accumulated a résumé and reputation that make-up artists who are her senior work for in a lifetime. An integrated marketing communication major at UWI, Gregg has done make-up for over a dozen celebrities, worked on seven major photo shoots and events and satisfied countless private clients.
Her make-up career began as a hobby, doing make-up for friends and family who often praised the quality of her work. With their supportive push and social media, Gregg's passion blossomed into her well known brand, The Make-up Girl.
"That came after a while. I kind of scoped out the market a bit. I thought that if my work was of pretty good quality, I could start charging people," Gregg told All Woman.
"To be honest, it really wasn't about the money. I really love to do it."
She provides her traditional make-up up services for weddings, photoshoots, graduations and special occasions. She also offers consultations for brides and group classes with one-on-one attention. For Gregg, going the extra mile for her clients is a part of the complete Make-up Girl experience.
"I'm not going to just do what I have to do and just run out. I've played lighting assistant. I've played stylist," said Gregg of her many bridal appointments.
"When you're the make-up artist and they are sitting in the chair, you're the one who calms them down."
Politeness and punctuality, she added, sets her apart from others in the industry. After doing an initial gig with Milani Cosmetics Jamaica, those qualities ultimately contributed to her current position as the brand's head make-up artist.
"They really liked my work and my work ethic," she said. "So they asked me to come back and do promotions for Milani until I became the main person."
Gregg, who can do a full glam face in 20 minutes, shone backstage at the Bacchanal Jamaica band launch earlier this year and at Caribbean Fashion Week in 2012. Recently, she provided on-site demonstrations at a make-up booth for Chris Gayle's 100th test match celebrations and displayed her skills in advertisements. She has also done presentations on make-up for several private organisations. Gregg said she's already booked for Carnival next year.
Through this job and her previous experiences at L'Oreal Paris and Sacha Cosmetics Jamaica, Gregg has worked with persons from all walks of life. Her elite clientele include Yendi Phillipps, Spice, Stacious, Ishawna, Denyque, Destra, Brown Sugar, Vivica Fox and Camille McDonald of America's Next Top Model. The celebrity exposure has contributed positively to her business.
"I have found that there are [celebrity] clients I have gained for sure but I've also been able to work with them because of my non-celebrity clients," said Gregg, who dreams of working with local songbird Tessanne Chin and R&B singer Brandy.
As a student going into final year, Gregg admits that balancing school and work has been a difficult task.
"To be honest, I really don't have a life outside of the two," she laughed. "So thank God that I do enjoy what I do."
Her academic schedule is somewhat flexible but Gregg has had to sacrifice big opportunities for her education. But when school is out, it's all work.
She has also been able to apply her marketing skills to her business and on the job as she also works with Milani's communication department, learning from the media personalities she has had to work with. Between her two roles at the company, Gregg's responsibilities include doing make-up training with other make-up artists, reaching out to retailers and looking at products to extend the brand's current line in Jamaica.
Though she hasn't decided whether she wants to continue to graduate studies, Gregg plans to go into make-up full time after completing her degree. The worsening economy, increasing competition and the steady rise in product prices have not deterred her from continuing her business as she emphasises that persons will always want to look good.
"The thing is that with make-up, everyone has their own unique style and aesthetics. So I think everyone has their niche market and should really zone in on that," she said.
Gregg has had her fair share of perks from working on various projects and visiting attractions across Jamaica in the name of work.
"We have some amazing places here that the average person doesn't even get to see," she said.
But her favourite part of her job is the transformation of her clients.
"They literally transform in front of you, from being kind of subdued and shy to a confident person strutting the room. It's amazing to see the difference in someone's personality just by feeling good."
Gregg's reputation has led to her somewhat becoming a celebrity in her own right. She related to All Woman an incident when she was recognised by a cashier at an ice cream shop, who gushed about her desire to take one of Gregg's make-up classes. She was pleasantly surprised but horrified that she had ventured out without make-up that one night.
"You can't go outside looking less than presentable," she stressed. "You never know whom you're going to meet. It keeps me on my toes."
For the summer heat, Gregg recommends light layers, concealing only where needed instead of packing on the powder. Healthy glowing skin and a red lip for a pop of colour are her favourite looks for the season. Her pet peeve? Over-outlined eyebrows that give off a halo-like 3D effect.
With her dream of producing a line of eyelashes soon to become a reality, Sue-Ann Gregg and The Make-up Girl continue to make a mark on the world of beauty.
"Make up is art," said Gregg. "Think of the face as a canvas. Let every brush stroke be done with meaningful purpose."

As lion share of the members of the Orthodox Parishes in UAE are youngsters, these Parishes could be called Youth Parishes and the youth could donate very valid and creative contributions than elders, with their unity and enthusiasm, said Fr. Dr. K.M George. He was presenting the main theme (the presence of Christ in a changing world) of the annual Zonal conference of the Youth movement units in all parishes in UAE, held at St. George Orthodox Church, Abu Dhabi on 2nd Dec 2003. Whenever a new President takes over the office in USA, in his maiden message to the nation, declares about the steps planned for the changing world in the coming years. This is on a misunderstanding that he is responsible for the world order. It is only because of a false understanding known as 'Megayo media'. It is a renewed attempt of colonization of the past. This truth is revealed clearly in the famous poem in English "A Whitman's burden" H.H. The Pope gave the rights of the countries in the west to the Spanish and the right of the countries in the east to the Italians in the16th century. As a result a team under the leadership of Vasco De Gamma reached India and another team under the leadership of Columbus reached the North America and they established their colonies. In those days the Popes believed that it was their responsibility to look after the world order.
We could come to know that there was a world order from the creation, as explained in the Holy Scriptures. Cosmos is the right word to be utilized in the meaning of Universe and all the creations in the universe. Its literal meaning is the order. It has got another meaning 'beauty'. The word related to the beautification is cosmetic. The melodious and dynamic world order established by God has it's own uniqueness, attraction, transparency. In the view of the contemporary Presidents of USA, all world orders are in great disorder. That is why the Government of USA has occupied Afghanistan and Iraq. Indian Orthodox Church is a founder member of the World Council of Churches from 1948 onwards. WCC had selected 'Man's order and disorder' for the study and perusal in 1948. Instead of disorder sometimes we use the term 'violence', (in Malayalam, we use 'Akramam' meaning which is not in the 'kramam'/order) which also literally means disorder.
In 1998 H.H. The Pope John Paul had invited all Catholic Bishops to Rome to think about the stand to be adopted in the new Millennium. Fr. George was lucky enough to attend the Synod, representing the Indian Orthodox Church as a special invitee. During the Synod days H.H. The Pope used to invite a few to dine with His Holiness. One day Fr. George was also invited for the dinner with His Holiness. When Fr. George got a close audience with His Holiness, he asked the Pope, "Today the entire world is looking forward to the future with fear. What is your Holiness' advice to the world?" The answer was not spontaneous, but very quietly and affectionately His Holiness answered, "I don't think that there is nothing to worry as there won't be frightening and poisonous events in the 21st century as in the case of 20th century." Fr. George considers this answer from the practical knowledge of His Holiness, as he might have seen the cruel brutality of Hitler when he assassinated 6 million people cruelly.

An Aiken man was cited for cruelty to animals after allegedly riding down the road while holding a puppy out the car window by its neck, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
An officer was traveling on Hampton Avenue near Sumter Street on Monday when he saw a small puppy "appear to hang half of his body out of the window" of a Honda Accord in front of him, according to the report.
"As the vehicle continued moving, the front seat passenger appeared to hold the dog's entire body out of the window by his neck," the report stated.
The officer pulled the vehicle over. The passenger, 30-year-old Christopher Drumming of Union Street, said the dog was trying to jump out of the car and he was trying to keep him in.
When questioned further, Drumming said he was "just moving the dog out of the way while he repositioned his bag in the front floorboard area," according to the report.
He denied holding the dog by its neck, and said he had two hands on the dog, the report stated.
"That would not be possible to hold the dog with two hands and reposition a bag in the floor at the same time," the officer wrote.
Drumming was then issued a citation for cruelty to animals. The small blue pit bull puppy was taken to the SCPA for boarding until the case can be resolved.

So imagine my joy when a game comes along that has 'full price' written all over it - like this one for instance. It's big (big! Big!), it's varied (varied! Varied!), it's more colourful (colourful! Colourful!) than you'd ever believe - it looks like it's worth every penny basically. A minor miracle, doncha think?
But less (less! Less!) of the superlatives - what's Turrican all about? Well, for those who missed the Megapreview a couple of issues back (shame on you! Where've you been?), it's an absolutely whopping (five worlds, each divided into a number of fairly lengthy sub-levels) shoot-'em-up packed full of some of the most spectacular graphics ever seen on the Speccy.
Your little man (a rather characterless chappy in a silver space suit, who looks nothing like the butch Robocop lookalike of the adverts) runs, jumps, ducks and occasionally flies (there are jet packs you'll need to collect for a couple of the levels) all over the place, collecting power-up icons and blasting the living daylights out of all sorts of baddies. Starting off on a sort of deserty landscape (blue skies, yellow/brown rocks and the occasional shrub) you work your way along numerous platforms, across a couple of waterfalls, down some tunnels and into just about the most humungous underground maze system ever. Somewhere at the end of all this you'll find Morgul, the man (or rather, flying head thing), responsible for 'all the fears and nightmares of mankind' (!), and obviously have to work out some way to bump him off.
One of the great strengths of the game is the sheer number of extra weapons you can collect along the way. They're thick on the ground all over the shop, as are extra power icons, often hidden in 'secret' rooms behind false walls or floating in space Super Mario Brothers style. It's wise to go off the beaten path sometimes and search out a rich seam (unusually for this sort of game you don't have to take a single 'correct' route but can wander off at a tangent for a bit if you wish). Walk left instead of right at the start of Level 1.1 for instance and shoot about in the air a bit - you'll be glad you did!
Weapons include such goodies as Energy Lines (acting rather like smart bombs, they send walls of force outwards from your character, killing most everything they touch), Giro-mode (where you turn into an indestructible spinning top, useful only for bouncing down hill), Megablast (like a giant Star Wars light sabre) and so on. (The Megablast is especially useful - not only can it kill aliens, it can help locate hidden power icons, often placed out of normal reach overhead, and uncover secret passageways hidden behind fake wall blocks with ease.)
However, the real stars of the game are the backdrops - from the Alien-influenced World Three to the giant mechanical stars of Level Four (depicted with some neat parallax scrolling rarely seen on the Speccy) they are incredibly colourful, spectacular and usually very well designed - not like usual Speccy screens at all actually. The monsters are good too - from the giant armoured fist you encounter early on to the massive mechanical, um, doobries (I can't really think how to describe them) of the later levels. These are things which'd be major set pieces in many other games but here just flash by, almost thrown away.
So, it's been a bit of a rave review so far, hasn't it? Bad points to the game? Well yes, there are some. For a start there's the scrolling - though eight-way and generally quite smooth, there were occasions (particularly in the flying sequences) when I felt it was actually going too fast for me! There I was, being whisked past all these fabulous graphics at a phenomenal rate, almost as if I was on a giant conveyor belt. Whisked by too fast really - I often felt vaguely out of control and resented being dragged into enemies through no real fault of my own. Mmm.
Then there's the animation - I already said Turrican himself is a bit of a characterless fellow, but what I haven't pointed out is how silly he can sometimes look. Though generally well animated, there are sections (like when he's running up and down the sloped platforms in the Alien bit) when he seems to be hobbling along with a broken leg or something - not ideal.
Still, let's face it, these are minor quibbles. Even if for some reason I can't quite get a firm focus on Turrican (although Rainbow Arts stuff has improved vastly of late it still carries slight traces of the days when everything they brought out was a direct and slightly soulless rip-off of something else - remember Great Giana Sisters?) it's still a spectacular achievement. I can't wait for the next one (something called Apprentice, I believe) because if they manage to combine the sheer professionalism and hard work that's been put into this game with a truly original concept or a strong, distinctive character (heck, Little Puff In Dragonland has more soul than this!) the results would be absolutely spectacular! Still, let's not knock it - as a technical and graphical achievement this is one of the best games of this year, and a bit of a 'Must Buy'. Hurrah!

Two elements govern the secretion of the anterior pituitary. One influence, from the hypothalamus is mediated by the hypothalamic hypophysiotrophic hormones, which are elaborated in specialized neurones and reach the pituitary by way of the hypophysial-portal vessels. The other influence is the feedback control exerted by target gland hormones directly on the pituitary, and possibly on the hypothalamus as well. In the case of the pituitary-thyroid axis, thyroid hormone exerts a direct inhibitory effect on TSH secretion, interacting with the stimulatory effects of thryotrophin releasing hormone (TRH). In the rat, TRH excretion in the urine is reduced by thyroid deficiency, suggesting that the thyroid hormones may also be involved in regulating TRH secretion, but we cannot be certain that the effect is on hypothalamic TRH secretion, since TRH also is found in other parts of the brain.
In the case of pituitary-gonad control, estrogens inhibit pituitary responsiveness to luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LRH) in men, but sensitize the pituitary in women. In men, estrogens stimulate LRH release as inferred from changes in plasma bioassayable luteinizing hormone-releasing factor (LRF) activity, thus suggesting a positive feedback effect of estrogens on the hypothalamus. In women, LRF activity appears in the blood during midcycle, suggesting that midcycle LRH secretion, together with estrogen sensitization of the pituitary, are components of the mechanism underlying the midcycle ovulatory surge.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe D Las Vegas Casino Hotel
This place offers great value-for-money. We stayed on the 25th floor with terrific views across east Las Vegas. Easy bus connections to Downtown. It's on Fremont so you get the Experience.
Complimentary breakfast -a really good place to stay.

Historical Traveler Reviews The D Las Vegas Casino Hotel
Used to be a nice place, but now........
Fitzgeralds used to be our favorite place to stay downtown, but the last trip there will be just that.....our last. Everyone that worked there (with the exception of one bartender) was as rude as they come. The garage attendant tried to make us pay for our parking even though we were staying in the hotel. I think he was trying to see if he could sucker us and pocket the money since he knew we were staying there. The dealers could care less that you're even there.It's a shame because this once was a nice reasonable place to stay and play. Comps were good, the location was great for downtown, and the people were nice. Hopefully their management will listen to all of us that used to enjoy the Fitz and realize that customer service is still important.
Good Value
Stayed at Fitzgerald May 16, 2003 for three nights. Hotel was a good value....enjoyed the fremont location and the look out balcony for viewing the fremont experience. rooms were decent and clean nothing fancy but adqueate. if you are in need of a shower cap..bring your own! restaurant buffet for breakfast was great...good selection and price....if we were to stay downtown again would ONLY stay at fitzgerald's or golden nugget.Fitzgerald's was a good bang for the buck!
Like Fitzgeralds
Fitzgeralds is great. Comps are great. Slot personnel were very friendly. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Only problem is their terrible and small parking garage. Not enough spaces nor were the spaces big enough.
Stayed at the Fitz on January 11th to the 14th . I had a very enjoyable time there. Help was friendly and very helpful. Would go back again.
Fun, Fun, Fun!
I meet my high school buddy there every year for their St Patricks Day celebration. Wow, what a party!
For the price, this place is great. Clean rooms firendly envirnment and, at least on St. Patricks Day weekend, loose slots!
If I had to point out a weakness it would be there comps. I play pretty heavy on craps, blackjack and recieve comp offers all the time from other casinos but I have yet to get one free room here. Oh well, thats life baby....
Learn from my experience !!!
This has to be one of the most unfriendly Casinos in Las Vegas. A local told me that the nickname for the place is the A..hole place, because everyone that works there is an A..hole. The personel manager must be hireing people just like himself.
I have not meet the personel manager, but people tend to hire people just like themselfs.
I could not find a dealer there that could hold a conversation. Do not play balckjack here, the rules are the worst of any Las Vegas Casino. You don't stand any chance of winning. Your better off going to some other palce to play. If your an expericened player like myself and only play single deck blackjack because you know the odds and know what your chances of winning are, I would recommend: Horseshoe, Golden Gate, Gold Spike, and Lady Luck for the best single deck games downtown.
Something about their comp system stinks. You give your card to the pit personal (if you can get their attention) and they put you into the computer. Now when you have to go to the bathroom your pulled out of the computer. Make sure that when you come back from the bathroom that they put you back into the system. This is the only casino I know of that wont even give you five minutes for a bathroom break.
I will never step foot in this place again.
Fitzgerald's Stay
Stayed at the Fitzgeralds from August 4 - 9. The hotel was clean and the staff was professional in their duties. The room was also clean and for its price, large. Stayed in a non-smoking room and two queen sized beds, on the eighth floor. Would recommend this hotel to anyone who would be staying downtown. Have to say that this hotel is for slot players, not much for table players. Still a good place to stay at.
Fitzgeralds Casino & Hotel
Fitzgeralds is one of the most unfriendly and unhelpfull Hotels in the nation.
I stayed for two nights and valet parked my vehicle. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the valet somehow dented my van. I turned it in, Brian Swartwood, Risk Management Investigator, acted as if I were a criminal, and stated they would get back to me.
I returned to Las Vegas 3 months later, stayed in a different Hotel, and contacted Brian Swartwood, he informed me he sent me a letter and to leave. I asked for a copy of the letter and he became even ruder and obnoxious and refused to provide evidence of said letter.
I contacted the General Manager, He reviewed the file stated a letter had not been completed, that they could not find original parking ticket, and did not know who parked the vehicle. He stated he would contact me before I left Las Vegas. He did not. To date they have successfully blown me off because they can.
I feel that customer service is lacking in the Fitzgerald's Las Vegas and do not ever recommend this Hotel to anyone.
New owners steal comps! Beware!
The new owners of Fitzgeralds have decided that they want no part of their loyal patrons and will zero out all comp (slot) cards on September 15, 2002. This means if you earned comps anytime before that date on the Fitzgeralds card, they will be gone unless used. The casino notified slot club members they have 60 days to use 'em or lose 'em. This is just terrific for us folks on the east coast--and considering I was there in June and no mention of this plan was made to me makes this a real ripoff. I was planning on returning in January, but this place--which my wife and I have patronized for the last 5 years--has permanently lost my business. I recommend that everyone stay away from gambling in this casino. Hopefully the owner will go bankrupt and be forced to sell it to someone who wants to keep their customers happy.
Rooms are OK here, nothing special, but not shabby. Get them while they are cheap and don't gamble in the casino, and they are worth it.
Stayed at the Fitz on Nov 2, 3 For 28 Bucks a night... Room was very nice...Staff was very nice.. Even the view was great!! Only downfall is the Timeshare Reps on Fremont (Avoid at all cost..want to sell U a Timeshare at the Cliffs).

The bus trip was 5 hours each way to the South rim (which supposedly had the best views and a great helicopter flight that went into the Canyon and to the North rim as well) and our time at the Canyon was minimal as the driver had gone slowly hoping for the fog to clear, which it did a little I guess.

SEPTA's Regional Rail lines lay empty today.
And they'll stay that way for the foreseeable future, if union representatives are to be believed.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen announced late last night that their members are now on strike, effectively shutting down the lines for the 60,000 people they serve daily.
"There was no progress in these mediations," Arthur Davidson, general chairman for IBEW System Council No. 7, said last night. "We still haven't discussed substantive issues, and we're still talking about procedure . . . things aren't looking good."

Learn to use your camera
APS can take you beyond just basic snapshots and help you to truly understand your camera and how to use it. Lighting, exposure, and composition are three of the elements that can make or break a photo. Sometimes a ho-hum photo just needed just one of those elements to be a little different to make it a really great image. APS will help you learn these basic elements, plus can help you make the best of whatever camera you own. Sure, an expensive DSLR is always good to have, but even a basic point-and-shoot camera can produce great images …. if you know how to use it!
About APS
APS was started by Certified Professional Photographer, David Anderson. Dave has spent many years learning the craft and has built a great reputation. His work has appeared in publications around the world and clients from far and wide commission him for portraits and commercial assignments. Dave owns one of the only commercial storefront studios in the Annapolis, Maryland area. People constantly ask him questions about cameras and how to take better pictures. Since the need was there, and since he is a seasoned photographer with lots of experience, he decided to do something to help all of these people. Hence, APS was born!
In late 2013, Al General, Dave's longtime colleague and friend joined Dave to further develop APS. Al is also a Certified Professional Photographer and has lots of photography training experience and some great ideas to make teaching (and learning!) fun.
APS classes cover all levels of experience, from Beginner to Advanced. Several different classes are currently being offered, and we are working on others as well. Take a couple of minutes to review the current class summaries and schedules on the Upcoming Classes page. If you have ideas for other classes you'd like, please let us know!

Lost Planet 2 Review
As long as you've got some friends, Lost Planet 2 betters the original and features some of the most intense, visually stunning battles we've seen on this generation of consoles.
I look back on Lost Planet quite fondly. I remember the great boss battles, the stunning visuals and the cool use of mechs. It's funny, though; at the time the fact that it was rock hard (unfairly so at points) had a terrible save system, a crap grappling hook and a cheesy plot were all enough to make me want to tear my hair out. So, has Capcom made significant changes to Lost Planet 2 in order to make it the quality third-person shooter it had the potential to be, or have the changes not been made in the right places? If you wanted co-op Lost Planet without the snow, you're in luck. If you wanted a more forgiving game, well, you better order some Rogaine now.
10 years have passed since the end of the first game, the planet E.D.N III has thawed, revealing a mixture of environments like we have on Earth: lush jungle, barren desert and stiff urban settlements. Rival human factions are battling against each other to get hold of Thermal Energy, and they'll all having to contend with the hulking great Akrid – an alien race of insect-like monsters that dwarf the puny men and women of the planet. The story, as in the original, is largely forgettable, but serves to bring together a series of separate episodes that form the campaign as a whole. All you really need to know is that you'll be shooting things, all the time.
By far the biggest change to the Lost Planet gameplay is addition of four-player co-op. This isn't a single-player game with the ability to play through with friends. It's a cooperative game that you can play through alone. It's an important distinction, as your experience with the game will vary wildly depending on how you play it. Alone, with three AI buddies helping, is decent fun, but every one of LP2's flaws seems magnified. With friends, where everyone is working together, using the tools the game gives you, the flaws are still present, but they become tolerable, letting the many great things shine through.
As before, you play as a human (well, numerous different humans, but they essentially play the same way) able to equip a range of high powered weapons and use a number of nifty Vital Suits (VSs). These are mechs by another name and provide you with more destructive power and the option to take flight. Generally you'll need to activate data posts scattered around each level and then progress through to the end of the area. There's nothing complicated about it, but with armies of trigger-happy enemies and rampaging Akrid all after your blood, you're going to die. And die. And die.
Gameplay is relatively slow compared to the lighting pace seen in the likes of Modern Warfare, but it's certainly still action packed. Disappointingly you'll be fighting off a lot of human enemies, who seem to spawn out of nowhere, when you'll really want to be blasting chunks out of the Akrid nasties. Encounters against human foes just don't have the impact of the battles against the disgusting aliens. Whether you're gunning down spiny creatures the size of horses or taking on a boss that's bigger than an aircraft carrier, these guys steal the show. They all have glowing weak spots, but unless you're careful your life will be drained in a few deadly strikes.
Life, and the preservation of it is a key component of LP2. Thermal Energy, collected by killing Akrid, human enemies and various explosive objects, can be used to recharge your health, by way of a new device known as the harmonizer. You can also give your allies some Thermal Energy if they're running low, use it to open up chests that contain better weapons and even power certain weapons – such as an excellent plasma rifle. This system works excellently, but the game's biggest problem arises from another new addition: the Battle Gauge.
The Battle Gauge is both a great idea and a bloody nuisance. By activating data posts you fill it up, and each time you die you can re-spawn so long as the gauge hasn't been depleted. Everyone on the team shares this gauge, and initially it works very well. The re-spawning system is essential for a co-op game like this, but it's what happens when you can't re-spawn any more that makes for the ultimate hair-pulling moment. LP2 is split into episodes, which are split into chapters, which are in turn split into missions. The game only saves when you complete a chapter. So, if for example, you've just battled through a few missions, only to die and have no battle gauge juice left, instead of starting that mission again, it's back to the start of the chapter for you. The original game had a quite archaic save system, and this is no better, despite the clear attempt to make something quite new and fresh. Quite why you're not simply returned to the start of the mission is beyond me and will be a reason many gamers simply give up after repeated tries to get through the same few missions end in failure.

Allegheny takes NCAC softball title
GREENCASTLE, Ind. -- Caitlin Nealer tossed a five-hitter and Katrina George homered for the second time in two days, sparking the Gators to a 3-2 win over Wittenberg in the NCAC tournament championship game.
The title was Allegheny's first since 2007, and the Gators -- forced to play a second time Saturday after dropping a 7-4 decision to Wittenberg earlier in the day -- will move on to the NCAA Division III tournament.
Nealer, named the tournament's most valuable player after pitching every inning of all four of Allegheny's games, allowed single runs in the fifth and sixth innings of the second game after losing Saturday's opener, and struck out six while walking two.
Allegheny (21-18) took a 2-0 lead in the second on George's homer and Maureen Pallone's RBI single, then added what proved to be the deciding run in the fourth on Allie Landowski's RBI single.
Wittenberg (23-13) built a seven-run lead in the first game and held on for the win.

Buckle up, or pay up. A St. Louis senator is making a fourth attempt at raising fines for seat belt violations.Democrat Joe Keaveny wants to increase the fine from 10 to 50 dollars for people caught not wearing seat belts in vehicles. His bill should come up today in a Senate committee.
The percentage of people using seat belts in Missouri lags behind the national average. Keaveny hopes a higher fine would encourage more people to buckle up.
Police in Missouri currently cannot pull motorists over just for failing to use seat belts. Keaveny's legislation would not change that requirement.

Look Inside
Clearing the Air
China's historic economic expansion is driven by fossil fuels, which increase its emissions of both local air pollutants and greenhouse gases dramatically. Clearing the Air is an innovative, quantitative examination of the national damage caused by China's degraded air quality, conducted in a pathbreaking, interdisciplinary U.S.-China collaboration. Its damage estimates are allocated by sector, making it possible for the first time to judge whether, for instance, power generation, transportation, or an unexpected source such as cement production causes the greatest environmental harm. Such objective analyses can reset policy priorities.Clearing the Air uses this information to show how appropriate "green" taxes might not only reduce emissions and health damages but even enhance China's economic growth. It also shows to what extent these same policies could limit greenhouse gases, suggesting that wealthier nations have a responsibility to help China build environmental protection into its growth.Clearing the Air is written for diverse readers, providing a bridge from underlying research to policy implications, with easily accessible overviews of issues and summaries of the findings for nonspecialists and policymakers followed by more specialized, interlinked studies of primary interest to scholars. Taken together, these analyses offer a uniquely integrated assessment that supports the book's economic and policy recommendations.

Historical Roots of Poverty and Well-Being in Developing Countries
A recent development in the field of economic history, albeit with older antecedents, which has spurred a great scholarly interest, is the effort of tracing the historical roots of current divergence of incomes and occurrences of poverty in the world. It has recently famously been argued that the fundamental cause of current income levels is the lack of pro-growth institutions which originated under the colonial system. However, tracing the cause of current economic success long back in history runs the risk of neglecting important developments which lie in between time t=0 and today. Growth has been episodic in developing countries, and it is a major challenge to distinguish which periods were important and which were perverse or unsustainable.
This session welcomes new research that suggests new evidence and methods to explain long term economic and social change and by implication the current predicament of developing countries. Poverty and well-being are broadly defined, including indicators like education, health, and inequality, in addition to the
conventional national income measures and its derivates. Important issues to be considered in the session are suggested as, but not exclusive to the origins and revolution of factors and policies which have had an influential and persistent impact on current well-being, the importance of the colonial impact, the importance of
institutions and institutional continuity. Studies confronting the concept of legacy, pointing to changes of fortunes de spite the persistence of underlying conditions, are also welcome.

Special to Hometown Gazette
SOUTH HAVEN -- What started as a clothesline show 53 years ago has grown into an annual art extravaganza attracting more than 100 artists from the Midwest and other regions.
This year, 110 artists from as far way as Florida and Pennsylvania will show their works in the 53rd annual South Haven Summer Art Fair, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, July 3, in Stanley Johnston Park.
This is the second year that Melissa Warner-Talcott has been involved with the art fair. She is the exhibitions coordinator at the South Haven Center for the Arts, the event's sponsoring organization.
"The atmosphere is really great, " Warner-Talcott said. "People are excited to be there, and the artists are eager to talk about their work. When you talk to an artist, their face lights up. Talking to artists about their process helps you appreciate their work."
For Kalamazoo metal workers Michelle Zorick and Katherine Martin, that process is exciting from shaping the metal to naming the table or sculpture that they produce. The pair has been in business for 14 years, and has been participating in the South Haven Art Fair for nine years.
"We create fabulous furniture, wall-hangings and sculpture, " Zorick said. "Both of our flavors flow through every one of our pieces. We use recycled steel, and we are green."
Some pieces can be duplicated, but others made from found objects are unique. They have made tables from old farmhouse iron grates, brass wall mailboxes and other found objects. Zorick said they work with mild steel which they have to shape, clean, sand, grind, weld and finish.
Their furniture is beautiful, yet functional, and some of it is suitable for decks or patios.
"We can change steel to be sexy and curvy, or funky, contemporary or urban, " Zorick said.
They will have coffee tables and end tables at their booth, and they also do custom work.
"We just love the (art fair) atmosphere, " Zorick said. "We feel honored to be in the midst of such beautiful art."
Glass blowers
Greg and Jean Smith, of Mattawan, have been blowing glass for 32 years and are familiar faces at the art fair. As self-taught glass blowers, they have developed unique techniques.
"We think we have a look that is like no other people, " said Jean Smith, who creates the work with her husband, Greg. "We are known for our bright, interwoven colors. The pieces are dreamy. They remind me of landscapes or outer space."
This year, they will have vases, blown-glass figures of women, sculptures and paperweights.
T-shirt winner
Conner Toney, a young South Haven artist, designed the image for this year's art fair T-shirt.
The image, titled "Expansions, " is a surreal drawing of a human head.
"I wanted it to symbolize the expansion of ideas, " Toney said. "I like surreal and abstract art."
Toney said he has thought about doing Web design when he graduates next year, but in general, he is interested in design.
Art Center volunteers will be selling T-shirts for $15 and tote bags for $15 to $20 at the information booth.
Children can enjoy making art at the kids booth, which is being facilitated by members of the South Haven High School National Art Honor Society.
Food and beverages will be available from vendors on the site during the event.

Would you watch an interplanetary reality show about the colonization of Mars? Well, if Mars One, a project launched by Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp, is successful, you could be watching such a show in 2025 -- and it could star Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT ) . Here's what you need to know.
To boldly go ...
Mars One's ultimate goal is to colonize Mars -- and to make a reality show in the process. But before that can happen, Mars One has to have an unmanned lander demonstrate that such a thing is possible. This is what's known as a proof-on-concept mission. But before that can happen, Mars One has to figure out how to get a lander to Mars in the first place.
The lander that Mars One wants to send to Mars is based on the Phoenix spacecraft, which NASA had land on Mars in 2008. More importantly, Lockheed designed, built, and tested, the Phoenix. As such, it makes perfect sense to contract with Lockheed to conduct a "mission concept study," which will determine what modifications need to be made to reach Mars One's goals -- namely, demonstrating that technology has advanced enough to send humans to Mars, and conducting experiments -- including looking for possible ways of creating water on Mars. For Lockheed, this contract is worth $250,000, and while that's chump change for this titan of defense, the end prize could be significantly bigger.
6 billion reasons to go to Mars
If all goes according to plan, Mars One's lander will touch down on the Red Planet in 2018. And following a successful mission, Mars One hopes to have the first humans land on Mars in 2025. That mission will cost an estimated $6 billion. Suffice it to say, Lockheed has a pretty good chance of winning that spacecraft contract if it can help Mars One pull off the proof-of-concept mission. Moreover, this is only the tip of the iceberg for Mars One. Every two years following the first landing of humans on Mars, Mars One wants to send another group of people to Mars. These will all be one-way tickets, but if it works, those people will be the first settlers on Mars. Of course, these are huge "ifs."
What to watch
There are massive hurdles to overcome before the first human steps foot on Mars, including the radiation exposure on the trip, the lack of food and water once on Mars, and any number of other things. But there were hurdles to making it to the moon, too. Those were overcome in good order, and it's entirely possible that the hurdles facing humans reaching Mars could be overcome as well. Dutch Nobel laureate Gerard 't Hooft, who won the 1999 prize for physics, seems to think it's a possibility. Plus, according to Lansdorp, more than 200,000 people have already volunteered to go, and to star in the first-ever Mars reality show. Will it ever take place? Maybe. The 2025 timetable seems highly unlikely, but I could be wrong. And if I am wrong, and the colonization of Mars begins in 2025, Lockheed could make bank. Consequently, investors should continue to monitor this story.
Mars One's reality show may never take off, but these stocks still could

Sure, the non-waiver trade deadline is just about two months away. That doesn't mean the Boston Red Sox are not kicking the tires on some starting pitchers.
Their competition is, that's for sure.
The American League East division is a rat race right now. Only three games separate the first place Tampa Bay Rays and fifth place Boston Red Sox. Every team has their own respective strengths. (Interestingly enough, all are different.)
That said, the one thing that gets a team into October is pitching. Pitching, pitching, pitching, pitching and more pitching.
I can't stress that enough.
With that in mind, the Red Sox are obviously floundering in that department at the moment. True, generally speaking the starters have settled down and are stringing together some solid starts; however, adding quality arms should be a priority.
Here's a look at five realistic pitching options you can be sure the Red Sox are keeping alive.

|Yamanoha shines at camps
You'll be hard-pressed to find an athlete in Rohnert Park, Cotati or Penngrove who has had a busier spring and summer than Chris Taylor-Yamanoha.
From early March through July, Yamanoha participated in 12 football camps of varying degrees of difficulty. Most of those camps were in California, but one – the Top Prospect Camp at the Oklahoma University in Norman, Okla. – may have helped the Rancho Cotate High School football standout become a known quantity not only in California but nationwide.
Tough Oklahoma camp
The Oklahoma camp featured some of the top underclassmen football players in the country. The camp participants were divided by their grade level.
Yamanoha, who started at wide receiver and cornerback for Rancho Cotate as a freshman, graded out as the No. 2 receiver of all sophomores at the camp. His performance there allowed him to be invited to a prestigious football camp in South Carolina in December.
More than anything, this camp lifted the 6-foot-2, 170-pound Yamanoha's confidence.
"It was the best competition and the most fun," Yamanoha said. "It's a lot different…just the overall speed of the guys there. I got to see that I can compete with all these kids, help Rancho out and show what I have to offer."
Countless hours on the road
Yamanoha and his father, Rudy, spent countless hours driving from one camp to another. The entry fees for the camps were not expensive, but the gas and lodging did put a dent in the Yamanoha's finances. But Rudy, who coaches the Rohnert Park Warriors Pee Wee team, knows his son has been blessed with a lot of athletic talent and feels he'd be remiss if he didn't do everything he can to allow his son to be the best player he can be.
"It was quite a bill but the way we look at it is we're investing in him now because we know eventually this could land him a scholarship where we don't have to look at paying a large tuition," Rudy said. "This can help him get a scholarship."
Rudy said he's seen a change in his son as the camps have played out. He saw his son gain a sense of knowing he belonged with the top players.
"I wanted him to see and believe that it's no fluke the coach brought him up as a freshman," Rudy said. "God's given him this gift, and now it's up to you to take this gift and do something with it. Now, this year, I can see where his confidence has grown and it's not like, 'I'm the young kid on the team. But I have grown in high strides because of this camp.'"
Time to consider colleges
Chris has three more seasons at Rancho Cotate before it's time to even consider a college, but he's already gotten some feelers from UC Berkeley, Fresno State and Michigan.
"Schools have sent stuff to (Rancho Cotate head coach Ed) Conroy, and he's given me their letters," Chris said. "It was surprising."
While his father can advise him on the things he does right or wrong on the football field, his mother, Rachael makes sure he doesn't eliminate himself from scholarship consideration by making sure he's paying attention to his academics.
"He works with a tutor, and we make sure he's maintaining his grades because now that he's a sophomore, he can't afford a D in any subject or it'll be really hard to get a scholarship," Rachael said.
By the time you've gotten to this sentence, Chris and his teammates at Rancho Cotate have completed their first week of the dreaded double days, where teams practice once in the morning and later in the afternoon. Double days are an important part of a football team bonding because those who really don't want to be out there usually pack it in. And those who stay form a tighter unit.
Yamanoha was younger than the core players who helped the Cougars reach the North Coast Section Div. II title game. He understands this year's team is young, and it may take longer for this team to truly come together than last year's senior-laden squad.
"We all jelled together and everyone was real tight last year," Chris said. "This year, it's not as tight, but if we put in enough work, I think we can be just as good. It's really a matter of how we want it to be."
Yamanoha also understands that even though he'll be only a sophomore, he'll be counted on to provide leadership, as will all the players returning from last year's squad who were heartbroken after their 35-7 loss to Clayton Valley in the championship game.
"I'm just used to everything and know what to expect…I'm ready for that," Chris said. "I was really disappointed about losing that last game, but that drives me more to come back and win for them (last year's seniors), too."

FRUITPORT TOWNSHIP, MI – Fruitport Township officials successfully sold $2.2 million in bonds last week to finance the construction of a sewer line and a new township hall.
Matt Farrar, the township's director of public utilities, said that bond sale was completed in a public offering Oct. 3. In selling its debt, the township secured an interest rate of 4.19 percent. Farrar said the rate is a fair one when the Detroit bankruptcy has caused interest rates on municipal bonds to jump.
"We're seeing an uptick in the bond market," Farrar said. "We knew the market was going the wrong way for some time.
As a part of the sale, Fruitport Township was interviewed and given a AA bond rating – the second highest rating possible -- by Standard & Poors' service.
"I believe this is the first time we've ever been rated," Farrar said.
In the Standard & Poors analysis (read it here: Fruitport Township bond sale.PDF), the firm wrote that it was impressed with the economy in Fruitport Township as well as the status of the township's finances.
Most of the $2.2 million raised by selling the bonds will go to pay for a sewer expansion. About $950,000 will help pay for a new township hall, Farrar said. Township officials have said both projects can be paid off without an increase in taxes, and only a small impact on the general fund.
Farrar said the sewer is supposed to be paid off by clients paying to hook into the sewer over the 25-year life of the bonds.
The township has $300,000 in cash to pay for part of the building, and payments on the township halls' debt will be made, in part, by renting a portion of the new hall to Michigan Township Services and the Public Works Department.
The township plans to build a new hall a few blocks away from its current location on Airline Road south of the township's Fire Station 1.
Farrar said the new building means the township also will save about $20,000 a year on repairs.
"The building's old and it needs a pile of work," he said.
When the new building is completed in the summer of 2014, the old township hall will be taken over by the Water Department Farrar said. The property will be used as a space to park cranes for maintenance work on the nearby water tower.

Founders Website Update
When we first established our web site several years ago we made a conscious decision to put every issue of the journal online for free. That has undoubtedly hurt our regular subscriptions, but our burden has always been to get the truth published as widely as possible. The internet allows us to do that in ways we could only imagine several years ago. Currently we have an online subscription list of approximately 1500. The "hits" on our web site have been steadily increasing all year. During the spring we saw a significant jump to over 180,000 hits per month. In December that number went up to 220,000. If you have not visited the web site lately, take a look! www.founders.org
