The city got its name from the locally famous junction of U.S. Route 60 and the Apache Trail. There are many places to see, things to do and good food to eat in Apache Junction. But first, you will need a place to stay.
Places To Stay
It's difficult to suggest a place to stay without knowing if one is looking for luxury or economy. So let's cover the basics and let everyone choose for themselves. There are 153 hotels in the vicinity of Apache Junction.
It breaks down to 41 two-star hotels with an average cost of $44.00 a night, 67 three-star hotels with an average cost of $59.00 a night and 38 four-star hotels with an average cost of $79 a night. There is something for everyone's budget and style. There are always lots of deals available online with discounts as high as 55 percent.
The Best Western Gold Canyon Inn & Suites is within 10 miles of the city. It was given an excellent review by online critics. It's located in Gold Canyon.
If a cost is a concern and you want to be there in the city there are closer places to stay. The Motel 6 has deals as low as $50.00 a night. Mind you, it is only a two-star hotel.
Things To Do
There are many things to do and see in Apache Junction. Here are but a few ideas. If you enjoy golf and/or spas you may wish to visit the Gold Canyon Golf Resort or the Superstition Springs Golf Club.
When it comes to window-shopping or souvenirs, there are places for that as well. Three examples are the Superstition Springs Center, the SanTan Village and the Mesa Riverview. Some highly recommended attractions are the Big League Dreams Sports Park, Commemorative Air Force Aviation Museum, the Hale Centre Theatre, the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch, Superstition Mountain and the Usery Mountain Regional Park.
Popular Restaurants
You will need to eat too, of course. While online critics don't totally agree, there are a few places that are mentioned by more than one source. The Dirtwater Springs get high ratings. It's a rustic roadhouse located on the famous Apache Trail and serves American cuisine.
Another noteworthy place in the city is Los Gringos Locos. It is said to be a colorful cantina that specializes in Mexican meals. Lastly, is the award-winning Mining Camp Restaurant which is also said to serve various excellent dishes.

Javolick Garrett + Third-Ranked Tatum Stun No. 1 Kountze, 60-49
LUFKIN — Tatum players knew Kountze could be beaten. The Eagles proved that with a win over the Class 2A giant in early December.
Third-ranked Tatum made believers out of everyone again Friday night — this time on a much bigger stage in front of a much larger audience, shocking No. 1 Kountze, 60-49, in a 2A Region III area-round playoff at Angelina College's Shands Gymnasium.
Tatum (29-9) used a huge third quarter to build a nine-point lead, and closed out Kountze (32-4) with a 9-0 run after the Lions cut it to two with 2:44 remaining.
"To beat No. 1 … in 2A-3A basketball Kountze is a dang dynasty," said Tatum coach Brett Carr. "All (we've) heard from people outside of Tatum is that 'y'all can't them.' But our kids, they believed they could do it. I think our kids always believe they can get it done."
The win advanced Tatum to the regional quarterfinals where it will face Crockett next week with a spot at the regional tournament on the line.
Senior guard Javolick Garrett led Tatum with 24 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and three steals.
"He had to play a lot of minutes, but he's our guy and he got it done," Carr said of Garrett. "It was on his shoulders, he knew that. What do you say? I mean the kid's a competitor."
The 6-1 Garrett scored 11 points and pulled down six boards in the third quarter when Tatum outscored Kountze, 24-10, to enter the fourth quarter with a 45-37 lead.
Garrett's heroic effort helped Tatum overcome a rough shooting performance.
Junior Robbie Rockwell, who hit 11 3-pointers in the Eagles' bi-district win on Tuesday, managed just two 3's on the night. Tatum made only four from long-range for the game, and was just 12-of-25 from the free-throw line.
"I had to give a 110-percent effort," Garrett said. "My team needed me, they called on me and I had to be a leader. That's a big accomplishment in my life. I've never lost to Kountze, and I wasn't about to."
While Garrett was the only Tatum player to score in double figures, nine others cracked the scoring column.
"We even had some kids that don't normally get a lot of playing time … I was just proud," Carr said.
Freshman point guard Grayland Arnold had 16 points, three assists and five steals to lead Kountze. Justin Harper added 10 points and three steals, while Marcus Williams contributed eight points, nine rebounds and three steals in the losing cause.
Rockwell's first 3 of the night gave Tatum a 13-7 lead with 3:44 remaining in the first quarter, but Kountze closed the period on an 11-0 run to go in front, 18-13, after one.
Kountze's pressure defense caused Tatum problems in the first half. The Eagles finished the half with 13 turnovers, helping Kountze to a 27-21 halftime lead.
Garrett began the second half with a 3-pointer, and Jahee Johnson's layup gave Tatum a 31-29 lead with 5:49 remaining in the third. It was a lead the Eagles never lost.
Harper's 3-pointer cut Tatum's lead to 38-35 at the 4:00 mark, but the Eagles responded with a a crucial 6-0 run that put Tatum ahead by nine late in the quarter.
Arnold's jumper cut the Kountze deficit to 51-49 with 2:44 remaining, but Corey Lowe was called for his second intentional foul of the fourth quarter on the ensuing Tatum possession. Garrett knocked down one of the two technical-foul shots, and found Hughes under the basket on the inbounds pass for an easy layup that pushed Tatum's lead to 54-49 with 2:08 remaining.
Kountze's next two trips down the court resulted in turnovers, and Hughes and Rockwell combined to convert four free throws down the stretch that put the game away.

This is a follow up to my posting on the Black Screen of Death (BSOD) in
this group on 10/13/2006
The BSOD is alive and well in RTM vista MAYBE!
It occurred once during an Upgrade install over RC2.
1. IF I had done a clean install rather than an upgrade would it have
2. I went through a shutdown and a hibernate without getting it. Does this
mean that it has disappeared?
One thing that I love is the little audio beep that occurred just before the
attempt to shutdown. I was doing something else, and it got my attention
(just as I had intended with my suggestions on 10/13.)
Otherwise the install went wonderfully.
Current gripes:
1. Visual Studio 2005 is NOT compatible with Vista. What a yuck:-)
2. Windows Mail has a serious jitter problem that I've reported in the
appropriate group.

Glory days for Coastal Carolina
These are heady days for Coastal Carolina.
The men's basketball team is making a strong bid for its first NCAA tournament berth since 1993. That would add to major postseason appearances that began with the Chanticleers football team last fall and is expected to continue this spring with the baseball team, ranked 20th in the USA TODAY/ESPN coaches preseason poll.
BASKETBALL POLL: Coastal flirts with ranking
BASEBALL POLL: Coastal will open season at No. 20
Not bad for a school that began as a regional campus of the University of South Carolina in 1962, did not join the NCAA until 1986 and had no football program until 2003.
"I like to think of us as a sleeping giant who is no longer sleeping," athletics director Hunter Yurachek said. "Our president (David DeCenzo) understands how athletics can help this university grow. He has helped us cultivate and develop our resources."
The campus is northwest of Myrtle Beach in Conway with an undergraduate enrollment of about 9,000. The golf program produced Dustin Johnson, two-time defending champion of this week's Pebble Beach tournament. Seven Chanticleers teams advanced to NCAA tournaments last year. But men's basketball, football and baseball lead the current charge.
•Led by former Clemson and Auburn coach Cliff Ellis, the Chanticleers are 22-2 in men's basketball. They have a 20-game winning streak and enough points to be 29th in this week's USA TODAY/ESPN Coaches Poll — ahead of teams like UCLA and Xavier. They hold a two-game Big South Conference lead on Liberty and have no opponents left with fewer than six league losses.
•The football team won the Big South's first at-large bid to the Championship Subdivision playoffs in 2006 and won the conference's first automatic berth in 2010.
•Baseball has missed the NCAA tournament only once since 2000 and last year nearly advanced to the College World Series.
When Yurachek became athletics director after Moose Koegel's retirement in January 2010, he inherited a diverse and successful department of 16 teams. But there was one that stood apart.
"Baseball really set the tone for our entire athletic department," Yurachek said. "We have great coaches, but Gary Gilmore is the one who showed everyone else that you could succeed on a national stage with the resources we had.
"He outworked everyone else and sold his recruits on the idea that if they came to Coastal, they could be part of something special. The thinking is, if baseball can get this done, (our other teams) can as well."
Gilmore played at Coastal Carolina, graduating in 1980 when it was still essentially a commuter school attached to the University of South Carolina. He begins his 17th season as head coach this month, a span in which he has molded the Chanticleers into a perennial power and led them to the NCAA tournament nine times in the last 10 years.
"I have been blessed with a blue-collar staff that brings their lunch pails and checks their egos," Gilmore said. "We attract players who maybe weren't quite as polished as some but wanted to go after an opportunity most people didn't think was within their reach.
"There is an underdog element to our program, but you'll never hear me call us a mid-major. We want to be considered with the cream of the crop, and I think that applies to all our teams now.
"It's difficult to compete on the national level if you think of yourself as a mid-major. We want to challenge ourselves, and every time we break through against that tier of huge state universities, it's a big moment for us."
As proud as Gilmore is of his program, he is first in line to acknowledge the impact football has made since it began in 2003 under coach David Bennett.
"Football has completely changed the makeup of the university (along with boosting enrollment by 30% in eight years)," Gilmore said. "More so than the success we've had in baseball and golf, I think football has charged the atmosphere on campus.
"Baseball could potentially go to Omaha (and the College World Series), basketball could make the NCAA tournament, but until you have football, you're not there. The day we added football, we became a real university."
Yurachek said football has delivered the boost to enrollment university officials hoped it would, and with that increase the school has forged ahead with new facilities.
"When I got here, the first thing I saw was that 14 of our coaches were essentially housed in a trailer park," Yurachek said. "Now they have offices in our new, $8.5 million, 50,000-square-foot fieldhouse."
A convocation center will be completed next year that will be home to the basketball teams and their coaches. A student-athlete academic enhancement center has opened and will be followed soon by indoor batting and fielding facilities for baseball and softball. New stadiums for those sports are planned for 2013.
"We have created an external unit with an associate athletic director for marketing," Yurachek said. "We have a person for promotions and a chief fundraiser.
"We recently raised over $500,000 for athletics in just over a week. At a time when many athletic departments are having to cut costs, we have been able to balance those cuts by generating more revenue."

Matthew McConaughey Wanted for Randall Flagg in Stephen King's THE STAND
According to Deadline, Warner Bros. and director Josh Boone (The Fault of Our Stars) want to bring on Matthew McConaughy to play the villain Randall Flagg in their big screen adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand. I honestly couldn't think of anyone better to play this role. McConaughey is perfect for the personification of evil in King's apocalyptic classic.
Flagg isn't only a character in The Stand, he has appeared in at least eight other King novels. Sometimes he's the primary antagonist, and other times it's just a cameo appearance. Some of those books include The Eyes of the Dragon and The Dark Tower. Flagg is described by King as "an accomplished sorcerer and a devoted servant of the Outer Dark." He has supernatural abilities involving necromancy, prophecy, and influence over animal and human behavior. His goals basically involve bringing down civilizations through destruction and conflict.
In The Stand, Flagg is a demonic figure who wreaks havoc after a plague kills most of the population. The character was played by Jamie Sheridan in the TV miniseries adaptation.
The director is planning on a 3-hour, R-rated version of this movie, and he wants to fill it with an ensemble cast of A-list actors. If he can get McConaughey on board, the rest of the actors are sure to follow.
I'm really excited about this adaptation and from what I've read about what Boone wants to do with it, and I think the movie is going to turn out awesome!


text: This was the Year of Dez, the coronation of the next great No. 88 in Cowboys lore. Virtually overnight, he went from disappointing, tantalizing talent to admired, proven star. One moment he was fumbling punts, dropping passes, running the wrong routes and jawing with opposing cornerbacks seemingly after each and every reception. The majority of the fans were frustrated that the third season of Dez looked much like the first two. What they didn't understand, though, was that Stage 3 Dez was just about a finished product. And, there's likely a Stage 4 Dez ahead as well, a nightmarish thought for opposing defensive coordinators and corners alike, but more on that later. For now, let's backtrack through the earlier stages of Dez: Stage 1 – Few players have entered the league with the natural athletic strength and ability of Dez. As in ever. To his credit, he has been completely forthcoming in multiple interviews, admitting his thought process upon entering the league was of, more or less, show up and make plays because that's what he did at every level from Pop Warner through Oklahoma State. And rookie Dez wasn't bad, 561 receiving yards in 12 games with eight touchdowns, including two on punt returns. He was just out there on instinct, raw talent. He wasn't overly familiar with the playbook or his routes, and film study and media interviews were for the most part optional, at least on his end.

An imaginary intersection of the falls and water line divides this scene into four nearly equal quadrants. This straightforward compositional device and the picture's clarity epitomize Charles Mitchell's opposition to the soft focus, arty images so popular in the 1890s. An amateur Philadelphia photographer, Mitchell often visited New Hampshire to photograph the same vistas that continue to lure vacationers to the White Mountains.

Cedar City • San Juan found itself in a position it hadn't been all year: losing the game.
One of its storied rivals, South Summit, had taken a two-point lead into the half, and the Broncos were in serious danger of losing the perfect season Saturday at Southern Utah University.
Two passes saved San Juan's campaign: one that skinny receiver Bobby Bowring caught for the go-ahead score, and one that Ammon Mitchell intercepted to seal a 15-9 win that sends the Broncos to their third Class 2A state championship game in four years.
"It's been a long time since our kids have had to play from behind or play to control the clock," San Juan coach Monty Lee said. "It's a situation where you have to strap it up and find something deep down. It was exciting to watch: My heart rate hasn't come down yet."
The Wildcats, whom San Juan beat in 2009 and 2010 in the finals, had the first edge, scoring the first touchdown on a Hayden Packard run. San Juan struck back with its own touchdown drive, but South Summit added a field goal before the half to take the lead.
It didn't help that the Broncos coughed up three interceptions and two fumbles in the early going.
"It was impossible to get into a rhythm," Lee said. "It wasn't even mistakes on our part: It was the toughness and disguise of South Summit. They played a great defensive game."
But the Wildcats couldn't get much offense going either, and it bit them.
Bowring caught a 26-yard pass from Barkley Christensen to recapture the lead, and San Juan held South Summit at arm's length for the rest of the contest.
Mitchell's interception in the final minutes assured victory for the Broncos, who have beaten South Summit in the teams' last five meetings in four years.

Mr ADAMS (Lyons) (16:58): This budget's prime purpose is about spreading the benefits of the boom to all corners of our country by delivering much-needed new financial relief to families and businesses under pressure. It will return to surplus to provide a buffer in uncertain global times and to give the Reserve Bank room to cut interest rates further if it needs to. It will protect low- and middle-income Australians and our community's most vulnerable with reforms like the historical first steps towards the National Disability Insurance Scheme, aged care reform and a blitz on dental waiting lists. Our interest, and my interest as the member for Lyons, is how this budget can help get better health and aged care, whilst still ensuring that there are jobs to go around to all.
Many people in rural and regional Australia have poorer access to health services than other Australians. Unfortunately, this results in poorer health outcomes. The Gillard government will seek to address this by building on our record investments in health facilities and buildings. Those living in rural and regional areas will benefit from 76 new projects under the Health and Hospitals Fund, including hospital redevelopments, community health centres, multipurpose services and dental facilities. To attract, train and retain permanent health professionals in the bush, accommodation for students and health professionals, including locums, will also be built and improved. If we are to attack the problem of ever-increasing costs in health care, then the key is to make our primary health more efficient and more accessible, giving the local communities opportunities to help themselves and their families. If we can keep all the minor problems dealt with at a local level, the hospitals will then be able to deal with the emergencies and chronic illness problems.
I have been working to ensure that my areas have benefited under these programs. I have already helped Sheffield Medical Centre set up a very efficient service, and two others are underway in the north, with Deloraine and Longford also developing expanded services. The funding of these communities will improve access to GPs and it is expected that the facilities will include general practice nurses and allied health specialists and have an emphasis on chronic disease care. Three other areas currently under negotiation are Sorell, Brighton and Bridgewater-Green Point. Greenpoint Medical Services will expand within the existing practice building, while the Sorell and Brighton councils will be working with local health service providers to deliver new health services and to attract new additional health professionals to the region. I am pleased that these later projects are shortly to be started; I have been seeking their establishment for the last few years.
I know that there will always be debate about savings measures, but we need to look at the broader perspective and how carefully targeted savings enable us to make some important, evidence based investments to improve the health system. A key example of the Gillard government's commitment to evidence based policy is the expansion of the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. The program will extend to provide regular five-yearly screenings for people between 50 and 70 years of age. Consistent with the National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines, the program will further extend in 2017-18, when a phased implementation of biannual screening will commence. Bowel screening saves lives. Screening at regular intervals will pick up around 12,000 positive tests and save between 300 and 500 lives annually. This program does not have to take place in a main hospital; both this and the breast screening program can be delivered in a separate area using specialty trained staff—bringing it back to the local community.
Then there is dental health. It is a fact, sad but true, that around 400,000 people on public waiting lists, together with a range of people with limited means, have poorer dental health than their fellow Australians. Not only does this affect their health; poor dental health can also affect people in many other ways, including their confidence and ability to get a job or engage in many community activities the rest of us take for granted. In the budget, the Gillard government is investing $515 million in foundation measures to support reform in dental care. An estimated 400,000 adults will benefit from a blitz on public dental waiting lists. This initiative is clearly focused on Australia's most in need: lower income Australians who have waited months, possibly years, for dental treatment, unlike Mr Abbott's poorly targeted chronic disease dental scheme—a complete failure. The dental workforce will also get a boost with 50 extra voluntary dental graduate placements and 50 new oral health therapist graduate placements. A new grant program will encourage and help dentists to relocate to regional and rural and remote areas. This is very good for Tasmania.
In addition, the Gillard government has allocated $10.5 million for national oral health promotion activities—such as 'Clean your teeth' campaigns. The government will also invest $8.2 million through the Health and Hospitals Fund for projects that will support new dental chairs and mobile dental clinics in regional areas. This is another plus for regions like mine. Another innovation which I believe is vital for modernising the delivery of health care is the introduction of e-health. I have already spoken on this earlier this year and pointed out that the introduction of the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Records Bill is to enable the establishment and operation of a voluntary national system for the provision of access to health information relating to consumers of health care. It will, firstly, help to overcome the fragmentation of health information, and we know what that is like. I heard the other day that the AMA is still holding out for something, saying that they do not understand the software. I would just like them to get on board and give it full support. In hospitals in Tasmania we still see orderlies rolling files on big carts around the aisles. It is 1950s stuff, but it is still going on. The fact that we have not been able to upgrade to an electronic system is a real issue and people ought to be looking at why it has not happened earlier. Secondly, it will improve the availability and quality of health information. When something is electronic much more information is available. How much could that help health care in this country? Enormously.
Thirdly, it will reduce the occurrence of adverse medical events and the duplication of treatment. When someone goes to a doctor and has tests but then a few days later sees another doctor elsewhere, the tests may have to be done again because no record can be transferred from the first treating doctor. It is known that in any one week, one in three Australian GPs sees a patient for whom they have no current information. More than one in five GPs faces this situation every day. To allow it to get to that point today is, I believe, an indictment on some of the professionals as well. We know that about two to three per cent of all Australian hospital admissions are medication related. This represents about 190,000 hospital admissions each year—costing $660 million—of which about 15,000 are due to inadequate patient information. I heard today that 46 per cent of Australians have literacy and reading difficulties.
The practical benefits of e-health are obvious. But the e-health journey is not one that will be completed overnight. It is not just a matter of, 'Flick on a switch and away you go.' During the last two years, the government have been building the foundations for the national e-health records system. And progress has been strong. We have been working hard to build the essential digital infrastructure—the virtual poles and wires—for the national e-health records system, ensuring a common language that will allow the different parts of our health system to talk to each other, connecting up our medical records, and connecting the computers of our hospitals, GPs, specialists and allied health professionals to each other.
Over the last two years, the government has also provided more than $160 million to general practices across Australia—up to $50,000 per practice—to upgrade their computer systems for e-health. Government support has helped more than 96 per cent of Australian practices to get the IT they need for e-health—a percentage more than two times better than that of practices in the United States. That makes our GP workforce the fifth most computerised in the world. Now that many practices have most of the IT in place, we want to make sure government focuses its investment on the rollout and take up of e-health records. In the budget, the Gillard government is investing $233.7 million to continue the rollout of a national, secure e-health system.
Once the digital infrastructure is in place, patients will be able to register for their own e-health record through Medicare shopfronts and over the phone. Mums and dads will be able to register for their kids. When they are registered, patients will be able to go online to view their records and add a range of basic health information. This will include things like emergency contact details, the location of advanced care directives, allergies and medication. This will be a gradual process, carefully managed. As more patients and doctors register, more detailed features will be available as part of the record. Eventually things like immunisation records, Medicare and pharmaceutical benefits information, organ donation details, and hospital discharge papers will be able to be added. The budget should not be seen in isolation but rather as the next instalment in our investment in health reform. Health reform has been strongly focused on delivering a more evidence based, well-targeted health system. As many of you know, the Commonwealth is investing about $20 billion up until 2019-20 to improve public health services.
Significant funding will be paid to states where they have met targets for elective surgery and emergency department performance. These targets were developed with close consultation with medical experts, chaired by the Chief Medical Officer. We are also introducing activity based funding from 1 July this year, to ensure that all hospitals are paid in the same way, based on the services they actually deliver. The Minister for Health, Minister Plibersek, has been keen to increase transparency and accountability of those funding arrangements. The new arrangements will provide unprecedented transparency of Commonwealth and state contributions to our health and hospital system. All Commonwealth funds for public hospital services will flow through a new funding pool, enabling us to track where the funds go and how they are spent—more information for decision making. State and territory activity based funding for public hospital services will also flow through the funding pool. We will therefore know the relative contributions of the Commonwealth and state governments. No more shifting the buck.
Improved transparency of the performance of services at the local level is another critical element of the reforms. As you know, the National Health Performance Authority will use the measures and the standards identified in the performance and accountability framework to assess the performance of health and hospital services. This is real reform. As well as ensuring that innovative and effective practices are shared between local hospital networks and between Medicare Locals, the reports produced by the authority will help identify those that are underperforming to enable efficient performance management.
The final plank of the national reforms is safety and quality. The newly formed Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare is already developing, implementing and monitoring national clinical safety and quality standards. These standards cover safety, quality and appropriateness of clinical care. These structural reforms will provide the opportunity for greater clinical engagement in our health and hospital system through new devolved governance structures in local hospital networks and Medicare Locals.
The main areas of funding by the Commonwealth are around health and education. This government has delivered on this front very well. I am still getting thanks from many country schools in my electorate that benefited from the BER scheme, with upgrades that they have been seeking for decades. Health is the next area that really needs to be addressed and this government has the runs on the board and I know that it will happen. This budget delivers the promises Labor has made to look after those on low incomes, working families, veterans, pensions and seniors. I congratulate the government on achieving what they have set out, still having a surplus. A lot has been achieved, especially for those on low incomes.

Wow, seriously, just awesome!
Mostly harmless
The idea of running 100 miles is beyond me. All I can say is congratulations on such an awe inspiring accomplishment.
The only thing I have issue with is your description of your RR as "ridiculously long". I could have happily read more. Thanks for writing such an incredible report and best of luck on your next race.

Big congrats Katrina. I started reading by skimming through it, jumping over sections, looking at pictures, but your writing is so good that eventually, after reading longer and longer pieces I went back and read the whole thing. same as Jason's (RJR) RRs, I always read what you write. It's honest, pure encouraging. This old runner, who is just now entering the world of ultras is learning a lot from you.
Thank you.

Katrina, I've finally taken the time to read the race report. I said it before and I'll say it again - Fantastic Job!!!
Your writeup is exceptional - i really feel as if I was there, and you convey what you were experiencing and feeling during the race very well. I will no doubt read it again.
In some ways, you've provided some inspiration. I've only been running about 20 months, and I have resigned to the notion that the half marathon is my version of the ultra. But on reading this, maybe not.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together - it is appreciated.
Tom (formerly known as PhotogTom)
Aww, thanks everyone! Sorry for the delay in responding, the last week or so has been pretty hectic. Now, for individual responses:
Mr Namtor, the "getting ready" point was largely mental, not entirely, obviously, but I definitely had to *know* I could do it before I committed to it. As a testament to the power of the mind, which I neglected to mention in my report… I had a friend who signed up (who was actually my friend Karla's other pacer at Badwater) and told me before the race that he wanted to finish but that he should be okay with 80 miles. "Coincidentally," at exactly 80 miles, he could no longer move forward and dropped out.
Jason, I thought about you quite a bit out there. I just kept remembering how lucky I was to be there and have the opportunity to run the race.
Luke, thanks. The longer a race is, the more that can go wrong. That's one of the biggest things I've picked up in the last few years.
Karen, I run primarily on roads and was sort of intimidated by trails after a 50k on rugged trails a few months ago, but I was pleasantly surprised at how runnable these trails were. I think it helped that I'd built it up so much in my mind because it made it easier when I actually experienced them.
Bjackjr, sorry you're having issues with the pics. If you're still interested (and happen to read this), the pics, as well as my entire race report are also on my (newly created) blog: http://runningtoabetterme.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/rocky-raccoon/
Coastal, thank you!
Van, that's what I kept telling myself. Logically, if I kept putting one foot in front of the other (in the right direction), I knew I eventually had to finish, as long as I could stay ahead of the time cutoffs.
Julie, thank you! It was definitely a life-changing experience.
AmiK, thank you!
Dave, thanks, lol. I write long race reports typically anyway, but I did feel a *little* more justified in the length of this one. The race was long, and the journey to the starting line was pretty long too!
Kristin, glad I could provide entertainment for you.
MJ5, it's funny you mention that because I read a bunch of previous reports from the race prior to running it, and one guy mentioned it was depressing to get to mile 10 and still have 90 left. I distinctly remember thinking about this at the 10-mile point and just laughing. 90 miles seemed utterly ridiculous. But lucky for me, all I had to do was "get to the next aid station," not "run 90 more miles."
Lily, thank you
Awood runner, for the record, even *I* don't like to DRIVE 100 miles, haha.
Damaris, thanks. I felt sort of bad for the people staying up late to track me, though, as I was moving SO slow. Someone could literally get a full night's sleep during my last lap. In the past, they had timing mats at multiple aid stations, so it was a *little* more climactic. My next 100-miler, in 3.5 weeks, has live results (2-mile loop) AND video at the timing mat. As for how I'm feeling, NOW I'm totally fine. I ran 32 miles in the last 3 days with no issues. I felt 95% recovered about 3 days post race. By the following Saturday, I ran 5 miles and I actually felt really well rested. I'm lucky that I recover from races quickly.
Bruce, it's weird, but ultras are pretty much the ONLY place (in my life) I feel comfortable and like I belong. On a regular basis, I do everything by myself (or with my husband); less than once a month, I'll go out others (but only a select couple). Social situations are just not enjoyable for me, in general. But ultras are different for some reason. I've come away with at LEAST one new friend from every ultra I've done. It's a very neat little community that I am so grateful to be a part of.
Dtothe2nd, the ultra community is full of examples where perceived physical limitations are just destroyed. It's really incredible.
Brad, thanks! And I can respect the fact you wouldn't want to do one.
Tracilynn, Thank you!
PineGroveDave, Thanks!
Tomas, thank you! Please feel free to pass this on to your sister. Also, here are links to 2 race reports to 50-milers I did in the last year: http://forums.runnersworld.com/forums/runner-communities/beginners/labor-of-love-lol-50-miler-rr-wpics-3rd-place-female-overall/ and http://forums.runnersworld.com/forums/runner-communities/beginners/50-miler-race-report-surprise-prby-over-hour-cross-posted-ra In answer to your buckle question, buckles are typically reserved for 100-mile races. There are a few 100-milers that don't have buckles and a few shorter ultras (like 50-milers) that do have them, but those are both exceptions. This was my 15th(?) ultra, but my first 100-miler and buckle
So_Im_a_Runner, thanks. It was a pretty surreal experience. As for venturing out without a coach, the first few days were the worst because Ian had become such an important part of my running life (and running is such a large part of my life as a whole). However, being on my own has some of its own benefits. The running I've done since my 100-miler has been great, and I like that I don't have a strict plan to follow. Also, I have some friends who are experienced ultrarunners who provide me guidance and answer my questions. Besides, I am going to get through my next 100-miler then take a break from ultras, so my vision is pretty short-term and manageable. Like I said before, I knew from the very beginning that having a coach was temporary. Through that process, I learned I am capable of more than I thought, and even without a coach now, I still know that and remind myself of it.
Waterwench, thank you!
ASUnk00, my race was anything but well-paced. But it was an adventure nonetheless, and I learned a LOT that I can apply to my next 100-miler and other future races.
Outoftheblue, thank you. That photo is one I absolutely love and will definitely cherish. I'm grateful I figured out who took It so I could personally thank him!
Nakedbabytoes, thank you. That race was definitely one of the most difficult voluntary things I've ever done. I knew I could have quit and justified it to most people. But I didn't go there to quit, so there's no way I would let that happen within my power. I knew I wasn't going to leave the course unless I was forced due to a missed cutoff.
Paulski, thanks!
Philliefan33, thank you!
AprilRunner, thanks. I love how little actions, positive (or negative) can have such a large impact. I look back at my journey in running, and there were multiple points where the different response (or no response) a single person could have easily changed my trajectory. I try to keep this in mind throughout my life, in and out of running.
Shirtfan, isn't it amazing how big some little things can be? Like I just mentioned above, I can think og multiple specific instances where I could have been persuade (without much effort, or even intentionally) that ultras, or running in general, were not meant for me. I try to remember this and let it guide how I treat other people. A sarcastic misconstrued comment a person at the exact wrong time could really negatively impact them. Likewise, maybe a little word or gesture can help someone out.
Adam_McAllen, training for an ultra, particularly a "longer" one (i.e. not a 50k) is different from training for a marathon or shorter distance in the respect that your training runs aren't nearly as long, relative to the race distance. And people approach ultra training drastically different: some run 150+ miles a week, others run less than 20 a week, and others just do races. With that being said, I'll tell you about my long runs. Three weeks prior to the race, I did a marathon as a training run. Two months prior to the race, I did a 50-miler as a training run. I did a handful of other 20+ mile runs too. The marathons and 50-miler I did in training were done as training runs, not as races (even though they were races), meaning I didn't do them at an all-out effort. It was just mentally and logistically easier for me to do them in a race setting. My highest weekly mileage was in the low 80s, but that was only a few times. I'm not a fast runner and I have a full-time job, so time was always an issue. One thing that I incorporated a lot more for my earlier 50-miler last year, that I would have liked to do for this race, but simply couldn't due to time, was to spend more time practicing walking. You use your muscles differently if you run or walk, and it behooves you to practice walking at a brisk pace, as you will likely spend a good chunk of time in an ultra walking, so you might as well be used to it. Also, practice running/hiking/power walking on a terrain similar to what you will be racing on; this will help significantly!
Sunfastrose, thank you!
Cherie, thanks!
Hog4life, thank you!
Scotty, thanks. I miss seeing you at races! I want to run with you again sometime.
Misty, thank you for your kind words!
Heidi, you're so sweet! Thanks for all of your encouragement, and all of the exclamation points over the last few months.
Susan, thank you!
Shari, thank you for your kind words. I do try to treat people well, in a manner that I would want to be (and have been) treated. The running community, and in particular the ultra community, kindness is so second nature to me. My pacer, Alma, posted a beautiful message to me on Facebook after the race, and I was surprised at some of the things she pointed out (like the fact I encouraged every single runner on the trails) because it didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. I don't say that as a testament to my own kindness, but instead to the people who have surrounded me the last several years. I feel like I am largely a product of my environment, so if I have felt nothing but love, encouragement, and kindness from a group of individuals, I don't think twice about behaving in the same manner toward other people. I am constantly in awe of how generous people are. For example (a little off topic), last week, on a friend's Facebook wall, I got into a conversation with a guy I didn't know (but knew who he was because he's a bad@$$ ultrarunner I have the utmost respect for) who is also friends with the owner of the Facebook wall. I told him about my next 100-miler. He said he lived near there and that I could stay at his house. What?! When I questioned him about it later (inviting a stranger he's exchanged just a few sentences with at that point in time), he simply told me of all of the strangers who had let him stay with them over the years before races and said he still had a lot of paying it forward to do until he broke even. When I surround myself with good people, whether they're runners or not, it motivates me to want to be a better person myself.
Fuzzy, thank you!
Greg, I'll see if you're still saying that in a couple years… And for the record, I didn't do it in *a* day… it was a day and change. Thanks for your positive attitude and encouragement!
Marymary, thank you. There have been times in my life where I have been surrounded by people NOT supportive of me in any way, so I am grateful I found running/ultrarunning because I feel like it is a place I really belong.
Irishguy, thank you!
ImNotScott, thank you! The idea of running even 5 miles used to be beyond me… it's s slippery slope! When I write an even longer report next time, I'll see if you still feel that way. Actually, I don't think the next one will be quite as long. Then again, so many times (this admittedly wasn't one of them), I think I'm going to write a "short" one and it's still ridiculously long. *shrugs*
Goo, I take that as a huge compliment coming from you. Thank you for your kind words.
George, I'm so happy to have served as a bit of an "enabler" to your running pursuits, specifically within ultras. I look forward to following your progress at NC24 from afar and reading your report afterwards.
K L Duke, glad to hear that. Looking at your upcoming races this year, it appears quite a few seeds have been planted over time. I love 24-hour races. NC24 is incredible; the race director is new this year, but I hope you have a similar experience that I had the last 2 years there. It's one of my favorite races. I've also done Peanut Island… sort of. A bit over 2 years ago, I was deployed, and the race director let me be an official entrant in the 12-hour race, even though I was the only runner at my location. It really didn't seem like a race at all. It was based on Garmin time, I was alone, and my "aid station" was a cardboard box by a building with water, Gatorade, gels, Cheez Its, and Oreos. But the race director still included me in results, posted my report on his web site, and mentioned me in the article he submitted to Ultrarunning magazine. That race is on my to-do list of one these years because I want to do the *real* version of the race. I hope you have fun this year; your racing schedule looks really exciting!
Tom, thank you for reading my report. The neat thing about running is that there is always something beyond whatever someone perceives as their "max." I can honestly say I thought I would only do one marathon and be done with running. Then, even once I did a couple 50ks, I never thought I'd so a 50-miler. It took quite a while longer, relatively, before I actually entertained the idea of doing a 100-miler. I was always intrigued by them, but I couldn't envision myself actually doing one. It's a bit of a slippery slope.

Acerca del creador
I have an interest in what people can figure out when solving important problems, and an interest in trying to solve some of those problems myself. I am interested in science, logic, the process of writing and storytelling, especially when combining them with pictures. I am fascinated by what some people will believe for no real reason at all, and so I'm tuned to the strength of emotional argument and yes, politics. I believe that communication is difficult, and that choosing any medium to express a complicated idea will eventually reveal that medium's weakness and point to the strength of another. Still, and for all these reasons and more, I like books and slow food. For need and sometimes love I've been a carpenter, cook, commercial photographer, and web designer. I've taught, at the university level, business, design, English, and photography.

A.I for mathematica
what do you think mathematica users, about the following suggestion:
i suggest to wolfram R. to make a package may be called A.I mode for mathematica once loaded by the choice of the user, the system will be in the Genie mode, and will accept from the user questions like :please what is the sin of 45 degrees?, what is pi to 10000 decimal points, please plot for me the graph of z=12*cos(x^2+y^2)/(3+x^2+y^2).
i think this will be a first step toward the star trek like system, in wich the captain told the system to analyse and to calculate by using common obscure language.
this approach will be of benefit to non mathematicians or non programmers who need some of the many many deep features of mathematica and who could not memorize the details of every function or its many options, and surely the professors will use the mathematica proposed genie mode also.
of course this will be a big step, but at the beginning it may begin by a small package for Fun only embedded in the basic mathematica , and after years it may be of benefit for teaching mathematics or even arts to the small students in schools.
in the huge ammount of information the human brain suffer from forgotting many things quickly, and could not memorize everything, so here the A.I is a needed aid in many areas.
what do you think group readers about my suggestion.

No one is scared to death over same sex marriage, drama queen. What are the latest percentages of people who support it? Does that look like Americans being scared to death of it?
Americans arent of course, patriotic Americans are for freedom equality and justice, it is those that have a private little rule book that has nothing to do with US law that are acting like frightened little children.

Franck's place was great. Easy check-in and a quaint, little town.Aaron2016-02-15T00:00:00Z
This Airbnb was a fantastic choice for my night's stay in Clarksville while biking the East Coast Greenway. The apartment is clean and spacious. Location is perfect, one block from the lake and a few good places to eat. Bed was very comfortable. I would stay here again in a second were I to return to Clarksville. Thanks, Franck and Kelly!Jason2016-04-25T00:00:00Z
Had a quiet relaxing night. Plenty of access to food and shops.Keith2017-05-08T00:00:00Z
This is a very quiet town, with a lot of unique charm! There's a state park nearby, and a few little shops and places to eat. Definitely a place to go if you need to get away from people. Franck and Kelly were great hosts, and the apartment was adorable and clean. They even provided us with a lot of information on surrounding attractions, which was incredibly helpful.Pamela2016-04-13T00:00:00Z
Easy communication and quick response to questions. Shared info on nearby restaurants and hiking near the lake.Cheryl2016-04-12T00:00:00Z
Great place in a nice quiet town, easy walk to anywhere you might want to go!!Brian2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
Visited Clarksville for a wedding and was happy to stay at Franck and Kelly's place. It is not a lived-in apartment, so everything is kept very clean and everything you might need is there - no more and no less. It's very close to the lake but not actually lakeside, which was understood from the listing. Though the listing says there isn't, there is a hair dryer and an iron. The building itself seems to be in the process of renovation, and we were a little confused upon entering from the front, but once you're up to the third floor from the back of the building, the apartment itself is just like the pictures. Visit the ice cream store across the street and West Side Deli.Sierra2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Vickie and her husband were great! I came to Kerr Lake for part of my student clinical and they were really welcoming and they helped me get settled in the area and were willing to accommodate to my schedule for check in and check out. They also shoveled the sidewalk and checked on me when we got hit by a snow storm at the end of my week. The lake is beautiful and it is a nice place to relax after a hectic day at work. I would recommend it to any students who have a clinical rotation in this area!Amanda2017-01-07T00:00:00Z
This was a great get away for my wife and I. As a matter of fact, 2 nights were too short. Vickie and her husband were great host. Since it was our anniversary they even had a treat for us there. Thanks for the place and being a great host. I will definitely go back and let others about the place.Orlando2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
Vickie welcomed us with a wonderful place to stay and lots of little extras - breakfast items and even some fun things for our daughters. Great quiet and relaxing location by the lake. The apartment was tidy and perfect for us; it was great to have the kitchen to be able to cook our own meals. Spent the day at Occoneechee State Park and Clarksville, then back to the apartment for dinner. Loved it!Greg2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
This apartment exceeded expectations! Beautiful setting. Private. Very clean. Vickie was the perfect hostess. I made this reservation for friends and she was quite accommodating with their late arrival. Everything they needed and more was provided. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about Vickie and her place and thoroughly enjoyed their stay there. I highly recommend this Airbnb listing.Barbara2016-08-23T00:00:00Z
We loved the quiet and serenity of the Location. The place was super clean and loved the attention to details and guest amenities including coffee, fruit, snacks, toiletries, etc. Perfectly suited for 2, and room to bring our kids if desired. Very short ride to town and activities. Will definitely look to stay again.Robert2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
This place offers everything I want for a quiet retreat: a comfortable bed, a fully equipped and stocked kitchen, uninterrupted Wifi service, and a gorgeous view. Will definitely come back!Angela2017-04-07T00:00:00Z
The lake studio is awesome. The space is extremely clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. There is space upstairs for when you might want to rest and the gameroom downstairs is designed for entertainment. Vickie and Chris were inviting and gave us ideas about where to eat and where to visit. We got some worms and tried our hand at fishing from the dock. If you want a central location for time on the lake, then this is the place for you.Beth2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
Vicki's apartment at Kerr Lake is a precious gem! The pictures don't do the apartment justice. It is newly finished and beautifully kept. The space is quiet, comfortable and feels just like home. Vicki was incredibly warm and welcoming. It's clear she has been very thoughtful to make everyone's stay exceptional. She even made it a point to get my son waffles and apples for breakfast when he told her it was his favorite. The only thing different we would have done different was bring books , lawn chairs and more water toys and never have left her property! It was a real treat for our family!Brittany2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

This is a special place and the hosts are lovely. We genuinely enjoyed our time here and felt very much "at home". We strongly recommend it!Jennifer2017-04-23T00:00:00Z
Place is even nicer than the pictures. The hosts could not have been any nicer or accommodating!Kristina2017-03-05T00:00:00Z
Wonderful lake-side cottage! Gorgeous views, really quiet, and a wonderfully cozy place to stay. My son and I needed a place to stay for the night on a long Thanksgiving drive, but I'm sure we'll come back for a longer stay in the summer. Jenny was super responsive and the place was set up perfectly. 3 big bedrooms, plenty of places to sleep, clean and full of everything you'd expect. Thanks, Jenny! Great experience.Vince2016-11-25T00:00:00Z
Great spot on the lake! Jenny and Paul are super accommodating. We'll be back!Noel2017-05-25T00:00:00Z
Happy Lake Place is a wonderful home with an awesome view. I cant begin to count all the amenities. It is truly a home away from home with all needs covered. Jenny and Paul are not only great hosts, they have huge hearts. They go above and beyond to make our stay memorable. I booked a long weekend for our 14th wedding anniversary. When we arrived, Jenny and Paul had candles lit throughout the home, strawberries and two apples on a dish, and a bottle of wine with two wine glasses waiting on the counter! They had also stocked a cabinet with fresh blueberry muffins and all the fixings for s'mores! Not only did we find a new getaway location, we gained some great new friends!Russell2017-03-20T00:00:00Z
What a gem this lovely place is. We spent time on the patio reading and looking at the water then later cooked in the very well appointed kitchen. Jenny had everything we could possibly have needed including the ingredients to make S'mores by the fire pit outside. We could not have asked for a cozier, cleaner, warmer getaway. We were treated on Saturday night with fresh catfish, dressed and filleted caught by our host. We will return without question. If you are looking for a place that will open its arms to you, this is it. With busy lives and concerns, which we all have, this was the place to exhale!Sylvia2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
Fantastic location, great accommodation and superb hosts. On a 7 day road trip where we stayed in 5 different places, this was the best by miles (unanimous family view including the 3 kids age 14, 12 and 6, plus Monty the dog). Jenny and Paul are superb hosts and we definitely plan on returning.Neil2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

SPORTS >> Lady Falcons see twinbill get away
Leader sportswriter
Good defense in the first game gave way to shaky defense in the nightcap for North Pulaski in a pair of doubleheader losses to White Hall on Tuesday at Dupree Park.
The Lady Falcons (4-7, 0-6 5A-Southeast) held the hard-hitting Lady Bulldogs to one run in Game 1 but White Hall won 1-0.
The Lady Bulldogs then took advantage of critical defensive mistakes early by the Lady Falcons in the second game to take an 11-0, run-ruled victory and the conference sweep.
I was excited to see how we played defensively in that first game, Lady Falcons coach Ann Tharp said. We played really good defense of course, we werent able to score but I was thrilled with our defensive play. Some of our games weve played against them in past seasons have been really ugly.
North Pulaski pitcher Brittany Bains performed well against White Halls batting order in Game 1, giving up five hits and four walks in seven innings. But one of those hits, a double by cleanup batter Haley Baugh, scored the games only run in the top of the first inning.
Kayla Walters reached for the Lady Bulldogs when North Pulaski misplayed her infield pop up, and scored on Baughs drive to left field.
The Lady Falcons had few scoring opportunities in Game 1.
Outfielder Lindsey Silvas got as far as second base in the bottom of the fifth inning when she reached on an error and advanced on Haley Hudsons single fly to center. But North Pulaski already had two outs when Silvas and Hudson reached base, and both were stranded when senior Laura Dortch grounded out to shortstop.
North Pulaski had scattered hits in the first two innings, including a single to center by catcher Heather Fleshman in the bottom of the first and a single to center by sophomore Kelsey Whitmore in the second.
Fleshman led off the bottom of the fourth with a bloop to left field, but White Hall retired the next three batters to leave Fleshman stranded for the second time.
Fleshman went 2 of 3 to lead the Falcons. For White Hall, Baugh was 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI.
The Lady Falcons loaded the bases in the top of the second in Game 2 when Whitmore singled, Shelby Floyd walked and Silvas singled with two outs. But White Hall worked its way out of that jam, and held on again in the third when leadoff batter Hudson walked and advanced to third before the Lady Falcons ran out of outs.
North Pulaski came into the doubleheader with a dose of confidence after a 14-1 rout over Little Rock Fair last week. Every player in the lineup had at least one hit, and Bains had eight strikeouts during the rout.
The Lady Falcons are hosting the fourth-annual Jae Lynn Russell Memorial Tournament this weekend at Dupree Park. The finals are set for today at 5 p.m.

This kind of setup is surely possible w/ m0n0, and it's quite easy to

For Flowery Branch, tonight's game at second-ranked Northside-Warner Robins is more than a season opener.
If anything, tonight is an opportunity to redeem a 38-point blowout loss to the Eagles a season ago, while proving to a different region of the state that its a serious threat in Class AAAAA this season.
"The thing about high school football (is) the turnover you got with your kids, and while we do have some guys from last year's team, this is a different team," Flowery Branch coach Chris Griffin said. "Even though we have some of the same guys, this team takes on its own personality. We looked at some things we didn't do well (last year) and some things we did do well, and we dealt with those type of things."
Tonight's game features two teams ranked inside the top 10 of the Georgia Sportswriters Association Prep Football Poll and will be held at McConnell-Talbert Stadium, a massive venue in Warner Robins that can accommodate more than 10,000 spectators.
The Falcons will leave for the game today at 1 p.m. on charter buses, giving them ample time to rest and eat before kickoff. Once on the field, the Falcons are expecting a fight against one of the top teams in the state.
"They're very traditional. They're the typical Northside," Griffin said. "They're very big on the offensive line, very athletic everywhere else. They are not very complicated.
"It is very typical. I don't see anything that I don't think we can't predict. We understand where they are going to line up and we understand what they are wanting to do. But, athletically and physically, they are a good-looking bunch of kids."
Flowery Branch returns nine starters (six on offense) from last year's team, while Northside returns just eight (four on offense). One player that is returning for Flowery Branch is senior quarterback Jackson McDonald, a dual-threat committed to James Madison University, who will play a rather large role for making sure the Falcons stick to their game plan tonight.
"A guy like Jackson, you just tell him to be himself," Griffin said.
"He doesn't need to be more than he is capable of being. ... I just need him to manage the game."
The Falcons are ranked ninth in the state, a preseason placement that is largely based on last year's 8-3 record and Region 8-AAAAA title.
Northside opens the season ranked second after finishing the 2012 season with a 13-1 record. The only blemish came in the state semifinals in the form of an overtime loss to state runner-up Ware County.
The Eagles, who won the 2006 and 2007 state championships in Class AAAA, lost a large senior class from last season, but return a few playmakers.
Glenn Smith, the Eagles' quarterback last season, will play multiple positions this season, including wide receiver, running back and backup quarterback.

Jesus Wept. It's not just John McCain who is a complete douchebag about this issue.
[...]although McCain had time to speak on the Senate floor and on television about the lack of information provided to Congress about the attack, he didn't attend the classified briefing for senators Wednesday given to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, of which he is a member.
Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), "who was there at briefing, and Senator McCain, who was not, are members of our committee, and I know they would play very important roles," Collins told Politico.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), another Homeland Security committee member who was on television complaining about the lack of Benghazi information, also did not show up for the Wednesday hearing. Paul did a CNN interview from the Capitol building Wednesday in which said he had questions about the anti-Islam video, the lack of Marines in Libya, and diplomatic security. At one point he says, "I don't know enough of the details."
I think at this point, could the national media please ask these loud-mouthed ignoramuses to shut the fuck up about something they are too lazy to even try to understand?
I know I personally am going to jump the fuck down the throat of anyone from the right-nut contingency spewing about Benghazi. This is such typical Republican bullshit it is pathetic and insulting.

The Delaware Lottery announced that it set a new record in profit from combined game revenues during the 2011 fiscal year (for year ending June 30, 2011). Because of the increase in total game play, the Lottery's contribution to the State General Fund was $287 million. This amount represents an $11.5 million, or 4% increase over the previous fiscal year.
"This year's success is due not only to the addition of new games, but also to the State's investment in the human resources and technology required to effectively manage those new Lottery's products," said State Lottery Director Wayne Lemons. "We realized an increase in ticket sales and a strong year in total revenues from Video Lottery, Sports Lottery, and Table Games at the State-licensed racinos. As a result, all Delawareans will benefit from a record General Fund contribution generated and delivered under sound business practices."
The Lottery's record General Fund contribution is comprised of the State's share of net proceeds from Video Lottery, Sports Lottery, and Table Games operations at the three licensed horse racing facilities in Delaware and net operating profits from lottery ticket sales at approximately 550 licensed retail businesses located throughout the State. The General Fund is the pool of dollars that finances the majority of state services in Delaware in such areas as education, public safety and protecting the environment.
"Sales and profits from traditional ticket games increased over last year, which has certainly represented a major source of income for the State since the 1970s," added Lemons. "The introduction of ticket games like DELAWARE CASH 5®, and the implementation of table games and sports lottery games at the three horseracing facilities this year were instrumental in maximizing our contribution to the General Fund while also delivering a variety of fun, new games to our players."
Since the start of operations in 1975, the Delaware Lottery has contributed more than $3.3 billion to the state's General Fund to help finance needed state services that benefit everyone in Delaware. The Lottery offers a variety of games: POWERBALL®, MEGA MILLIONS®, HOT LOTTO®, FAST PLAY®, MULTI-WIN LOTTO, PLAY 3, PLAY 4, CASH 5® and assorted Instant Games. Delaware Lottery game and promotional details are available at delottery.com, at licensed retailers, and from the Lottery's office in Dover.
