Business Conduct and Ethics
Business Conduct and Ethics Policy
Scott Logistics Corp is committed to the highest standards of ethical business conduct. This policy and the company's Vision, Mission, and Company Values statements outline the standards by which all company employees are expected to conduct themselves. Adhering to these standards and achieving our corporate goals will ensure the long-term success of the company.
We are proud of our reputation for maintaining the highest standards of ethical business conduct. Our reputation has been built by our ability to attract and train talented, dedicated staff, by the integrity with which we perform our work, and by our steadfast adherence to the Vision, Mission, and Company Values statements.
All of us are responsible for protecting and maintaining the unique reputation of our company. Toward that end, this policy is designed to help clarify the ethical and legal standards to which we adhere in performing our work. This policy applies to all employees and agents of the company, including its corporate staff, officers, and all operating units.
Even though the business environment in which we operate is more competitive now than ever, it is essential that we all perform our jobs and help our company compete in an ethical and lawful manner – one that is consistent with the exceptional reputation that we enjoy. Our continued success depends on each individual's commitment to our values and adherence to this policy. No success is worth the cost of compromising our ethical behavior and standards. With this in mind, all employees should be familiar with this policy, which also includes rules governing the use of the company's assets and guidelines for involvement by employees in other business ventures.
No written policy can cover every ethical or legal issue that we may face. A good foundation for ethical behavior consists of good conscience, common sense, good judgment, and compliance with governmental laws and regulations. This policy will help employees understand some of the basic principles within which we must all operate. Should a situation arise that is not covered in this policy or if an employee is unsure of how to handle a situation, he or she should seek guidance from the Ethics and Compliance Officer.
Standard of Conduct
All company employees are expected to act ethically, in a manner consistent with the tenets of the Vision, Mission, and Company Values statements, in conformity with this and other policies of the company, all applicable laws, and in the best interest of the company. No employee should weaken the company's interest to strengthen his or her own, nor should an employee use his or her position at the company to unfair personal advantage.
No employee, regardless of his or her level of authority, has authority to act inconsistently with this policy, or to direct or authorize others to do so. Furthermore, conduct that is not permitted under this policy may not be achieved by a non-employee acting on behalf of an employee. The consequences of any departure from this policy can be very serious. In addition, the company will cooperate with all government investigations of possible unlawful conduct. If any criminal violation occurs, the company is committed to stopping such criminal conduct and preventing such conduct for recurring.
Confidential Information
In the course of daily work, employees may obtain confidential information with respect to the company or its customers. Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, all non-public information that could reasonably be expected to be of use to competitors, or harmful to the company or customer, if disclosed. Employees shall not use or disclose to any person, firm, or entity and proprietary, confidential, or trade secret information of the company or its customers without the company's express prior written consent. Employees shall immediately deliver to the company all materials that contain such information and all copies thereof when the company requests them, and immediately upon termination or employment. This includes both company materials and personal materials that contain company information. Protecting this information is essential to the successful conduct of the company's business and is the responsibility of every employee during and subsequent to his or her employment period, except when such disclosure is authorized or legally mandated.
Conflict of Interest
A conflict of interest occurs when an individual's private interest interferes, or appears to interfere, in any material way with the interest of the company as a whole. A conflict situation can arise when an employee takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult for him or her to perform his or her company work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee, or his or her near relative, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the company. Employees have a duty to avoid situations in which a conflict of interest may arise, as well as to avoid the appearance of a conflict between their personal interest and that of the company. Additionally, the Company strongly discourages personal (i.e. non-business related) interaction between our employees and individuals employed by our customers and suppliers. Our employees are expected to maintain a consistent level of professional behavior at all times when dealing with the employees of our customers and suppliers.
The term "near relative" of any person means such person's spouse or domestic partner, parents, brothers, sisters, children, nieces and nephews and the spouses or domestic partners of brothers, sisters, and children.
An employee who believes that he or she may be involved in an actual or potential conflict situation should contact the Ethics and Compliance Officer.
The following are examples of activities that may result in a conflict of interest and company guidelines with regard to those activities. This list of examples is not all-inclusive.
Outside Employment
May not take place during the employee's normal working hours;
May not require usage of company equipment or company personnel while they are on company time;
May not inappropriately trade on the name or reputation of the company.
Outside employment will be permitted as long as
It does not encroach on the time, energy, or attention that should be devoted to the employee's work for the company; and
As long as it is neither competitive nor involves a circumstance which could create a conflict of interest.
Relationship with a Supplier or Vendor – An employee's retention of a company owned by his or her near relative to provide goods or services to an operating unit of the company is prohibited without prior disclosure and approval by the Ethics and Compliance Officer of the company.
Outside Investments – Employees may not have a direct or indirect financial interest in a business enterprise that supplies, purchases from, competes with or has other business relations with the company unless otherwise approved by the Ethics and Compliance Officer of the company. This does not apply to investments in a publicly held company representing less than 1% of its outstanding stock or in diversified mutual funds. The company does not intend to interfere with independent decision-making by members of it employees' families; however, any attempt to evade this policy by trading or holding securities in the names of family members or others will be treated as a breach of this policy.
Corporate Opportunities – Employees should avoid taking for themselves opportunities that are discovered through their employment or the use of corporate property, information, or position without the prior written approval of the Ethics and Compliance Officer, which approval may be based on review of all relevant facts and circumstances, including whether the company has previously declined to pursue such proposed corporate opportunity for its own benefit.
Gifts and Business Courtesies – Gifts and business courtesies should never be accepted by employees from anyone with whom the company does business. Although the purpose of business courtesies or gifts in a commercial setting is to create good will and promote sound working business relationships, these actions are likely to be perceived as influencing the recipient as an employee. Likewise, it is important to observe the policies of any company with which the company does business. All such exchanges including, but not limited to meals, gifts, entertainment, transportation, lodging, or any other act that could be construed as a business courtesy or gift should be conducted to or from the corporate level of Scott Logistics Corp.
Fair Dealing – Each employee should endeavor to deal fairly with the company's customers, suppliers, and competitors. Employees should avoid taking unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other intentional unfair practice.
Financial Integrity
Dishonest or fraudulent activity is a violation of this policy and of the law. The company requires honest and accurate reporting of information in order to make responsible business decisions and safeguard the company's assets. One should be mindful, however, that business records and communication often become public, and employees should avoid inappropriate characterization of people and companies. This applies equally to e-mail, internal memos, and formal reports.
The company's financial books and records must properly document all assets and liabilities, accurately reflect all transactions of the company, and be retained in accordance with the company's records retention practices and all applicable laws and regulations. Employees and freight agents should adhere to the following guidelines regarding financial integrity and accurate record keeping:
No false entries shall be made on the books or records of the company or its subsidiaries for any reason, and no undisclosed or unrecorded fund or asset of the company shall be maintained or established for any purpose.
No payment of behalf of the company shall be made or approved with the understanding that it will be used, or might be used, for something other than the stated purpose, and no documents shall be altered or signed by persons who lack proper authority.
No action shall be taken, directly or indirectly, in influence, coerce, manipulate, or mislead any independent public or certified public accountant engaged in the performance of an audit or review of the financial statements of the company.
An employee may not borrow from individuals or enterprises with which the company does or may do business, except if such enterprise is a bank or an established financial institution. No employee shall request a co-worker, supervisor, or subordinate to facilitate an extension of credit to the employee by cosigning, guaranteeing, or providing collateral for any such extension of credit. It is also not an acceptable business practice to seek a personal monetary loan from a co-worker, supervisor, subordinate, or the company.
Use of Company Assets
Employees should endeavor to protect the company's assets and ensure their efficient use. All company assets should be used for legitimate business purposes and not for personal gain. The use of company funds or assets for any unlawful or unethical purpose in prohibited. No employee or freight agent may use company assets, services, equipment, or supplies including company stationery, business cards, forms, or other materials for their own personal use without prior approval from management.
Improper Payments
Employees should avoid the use of company or personal funds for payments to any individual, company, or organization made in order to obtain favorable treatment in securing business or special consideration. Employees and freight agents receipt of any bribes, kickbacks or similar payments of any sort, to or from anyone with whom the company does business or may potentially do business is strictly prohibited.
Political Contributions and Activities
No employee may make any political contribution of any kind in the name of the company or by utilizing company funds, assets, services, or facilities. Any employee is free to make personal political contributions or engage in personal political activities so long as such contributions or activities do not infringe upon the employee's duties for the company, are not inconsistent with this policy, and the employee does not trade upon the name of the company.
Records Retention
Materials relevant to pending or threatened litigation, subpoenas, and governmental investigations are to be retained until the action or inquiry is concluded. This policy applies to documents and other relevant materials in every form, including e-mails and versions of documents maintained electronically. No materials relevant to such an action or inquiry shall be destroyed, including through ordinary document retention procedures and automated electronic deletion programs. The Office Manager shall have primary responsibility for the identification and preservation of responsive materials, but all employees have an independent obligation to assure that this policy is observed.
Responsibilities for Compliance to this Policy
It is the responsibility of company employees to:
Become familiar with and understand the policy;
Seek further explanation and advice concerning the interpretation and requirements of the policy as well as any situation that appears to be in conflict with it;
Comply with this policy;
Comply with all laws and regulations that impact their jobs;
Not assist others who are attempting to violate any law, regulation, or company policy; and
Report known or suspected violations of the law or this policy.
It is the responsibility of management to:
Ensure that employees understand and abide by this policy;
Set an example of exemplary ethical conduct;
Establish adequate procedures for the early recognition of any situation that might violate this policy;
Deal effectively with business ethics concerns that arise;
Bring the matter to the attention of the Ethics and Compliance Officer to ensure compliance with this policy.
Reporting of Violations
Any employee who becomes aware of any conduct that he or she believes to be prohibited by this policy or a violation of law, or receives a complaint to such effect from another employee, is expected to promptly report the facts forming the basis of that belief or knowledge to the Ethics and Compliance Officer.
The company will treat each report seriously and any individual who reports or participates in an investigation of a report of a violation of this policy or law is covered by the Anti-Retaliation Policy; however, knowingly submitting a false complaint will subject that employee to discipline up to and including termination.
Investigation of Reports
Upon receiving a complaint, the company will promptly conduct a thorough investigation. It is the obligation of all employees to cooperate in such investigations. Those responsible for the investigation will maintain the confidentiality of the allegations of the complaint and identity of the persons involved, subject to the need to conduct a full and impartial investigation, remedy any violations of the company's policies, or monitor compliance with or administer the company policy.
The investigation generally will include, but will not be limited to, discussion with the complaining employee (unless the complaint was submitted on an anonymous basis), the party against whom allegations have been made, and witnesses, if appropriate. The company prohibits retaliation against any employee who makes a complaint under this policy or participates in the company's investigation.
In the event that an investigation establishes that an employee has engaged in conduct or actions constituting a violation of this policy, the company will take immediate and appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of that employee's employment. Disciplinary action, up to an including termination, will also be taken against a supervisor who endorses, fails to prevent or report a violation of this policy or the law, or who retaliates, or condones retaliation by others against an employee who reports such a violation.
Additionally, the Transportation Intermediaries Association Code of Ethics is attached as an Addendum and supplements the Company's Business Conduct and Ethics Policy. Scott Logistics is a member in good standing of this trade association. Each employee is expected to read, become familiar with and abide with this trade association's required Code of Ethics.

With land-based mineral deposits beginning to run out and the cost of precious-metals extraction on the rise, large mining companies—and even nation states—are racing to the bottom of the sea in an attempt to exploit the incalculable mineral resources of the world's oceans.
At the forefront of this effort are robots, in the form of specialized remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). But it's a race filled with uncertainty. No one knows the exact quantity of the precious metals. Indeed, to date, no one has mined the oceans for precious metals at depths greater than 200 meters, and licenses for exploration and mining remain hard to come by.

Often times people from many different parties, liberal, progressive, democrat, RINO, republican, conservative, liberterian, to name a few agree onthe right or wrong of an idea. This is one of those times. It will be a great day when the people from diverse party affiliation come together to support or DEFEAT ideas that are good or bad for the country.

The former constitutional law professor -- who rose to prominence in part by attacking what he called the government's post-Sept. 11 encroachment on civil liberties -- has undergone a philosophical evolution, arriving at what he now considers the right balance between national security prerogatives and personal privacy.
"I came in with a healthy skepticism about these programs," Obama said in San Jose on Friday. "My team evaluated them. We scrubbed them thoroughly. We actually expanded some of the oversight, increased some of safeguards. But my assessment and my team's assessment was that they help us prevent terrorist attacks."
"On net," the president added, "it was worth us doing."

Well, the first I time was faced with the decision of picking a starter was in LeafGreen. I picked Charmander, because eh... Fire type seemed the coolest to me. Next time I play the game I will probably pick Bulbasaur, because I like rotating the types when I play. (playthrough 1 - Fire type, playthrough 2 - Water type, playthrough 3 - Grass type, etc.)
And yeah, I definitely agree with you on Squirtle. There's just so many other good Water-types (Slowbro and Starmie are my personal favourites) that I restrict myself from catching because I already have a Water type, even though both of the Pokémon I mentioned are part Psychic as well.

How can I check to see if an element in an array is empty in C?
Doesn't seem to work.
What do you mean with empty?
When a C program is executed, variables that you don't explicitly initialize have got unpredictable values.
You need to set all of your array cells to NULL (or to 0, or to whatever value represents emptyness in your program logic) and then you can check it in the way you did:
Question answer:
What you posted is the correct code.
If it "doesn't seem to work", perhaps the problem does not lie at this location in your code. If you would post a more complete example of what you have, the code's expected behavior and actual behavior, we may be able to help you.
Assuming that
Note however that if you array is not properly initialized (ie: provide an initial value to each cell), the array most probably contains garbage and your condition will most probably end up being false.

If you live anywhere north of the equator, and not in Western Alberta (where it has been snowing for the last week), you have probably noticed that the white blanket covering the surrounding mountains is slowly starting to disappear. For many of us, this is simply a transition from winter to summer. We turn the heating in our offices off, and turn the air conditioning on. Not much changes in our day to day lives. I mean sure, we can no longer ski or partake in other winter activities, driving becomes substantially less stressful, and we start to wear less clothing, but our day to day routines are, for the most part, the same.
Now this is all fine and dandy, but what about our faithful ski guides? Their day to day is dealing with that blanket of white stuff we all love to ski and snowboard on. But what on earth do they do when the snow melts away? Do they just stand in their ski boots and wait for it to snow again? Do they move to the other side of the world where it is snowing? Or do they go in to hibernation like bears in the winter?
A couple of days ago, an email came through the office asking the guides what their plans for this upcoming summer. I was lucky enough to be included in this email and all I have to say is that I am absolutely amazed at the lives that these guys lead! And just to give you an idea on how amazing these guides' lives are, they started out each of their responses with: Nothing too special, Regular life stuff, and Pretty mellow... YA RIGHT!
Steve Chambers, manager of CMH Revelstoke, moves south. And not so far south that he finds snow again, but just south enough that he finds himself in Los Angeles, California. In L.A. Steve takes over more of the parental duties while his wife (who is expecting the newest addition to their family in September) works as a film editor. When he isn't doing his fatherly duties on land, he takes to the water. Plans for this summer include "surfing as much as humanly possible" and joining fellow Revelstoke guide John Luttrell and family on their around the world sailing journey in French Polynesia. And finally, in preparation for next winter, Steve will be doing some work removing an old fuel cache and installing a new one up in Revelstoke so that us heli-skiers can get more skiing in next winter!
Jeff Bodnarchuk, guide with the Nomads Program, is hoping to be out heli-hiking in both the Bobbie Burns and Bugaboos. He is also planning to get out mountain biking and relaxing after his nomadic winter. His major expedition for the summer will be getting in as much family time as possible and raising his little boy.
The last guide we talked to, Mike Welch, hopes to be up at the CMH Galena lodge where he is lodge manager. He will be overseeing some potential renovations to the guest rooms. In his spare time he will be mountain biking and dirt biking around local trails. Lastly, Mike will be out in the wilderness sharpening his eye for photography and pursuing photo opportunities so that he can share some amazing pictures from Galena with you next winter!
All I know is that it sure would be great to live a summer in any of these guys shoes. I guess when you have such an adrenaline filled job in the winter, it pays to "sit back" and "relax" during the summer.
Personally, I am going to be hanging out around the head offices here in Banff, working on tones of exciting things for the upcoming winter. I hope to get up to one of our lodges to do some heli-hiking at some point. I have also set a personal goal to summit a mountain every weekend this summer (wish me luck!). Mountain biking, photography, and barbequing are also all in the plans.
What are your plans this summer? Will I be seeing out at one of our lodges for some summer adventures? Or maybe out on the trails in the backcountry?
Until later,

Teen Mom
Is Jenelle Evans Getting Partial Custody of Son Jace?
Jenelle Evans has had one interesting week to say the least, and it only looks like things may be getting better for the
Teen Mom 2 star. After Jenelle took to Twitter to say how "perfecto" her life is at the moment, a snarky fan tweeted to the reality TV starlet about her recent misfortunes. As you know, Jenelle and estranged husband Courtland Rogers were arrested on April 23 for heroin possession and simple assault. In addition to that, Jenelle may face time in prison and her mother, Barbara Evans, has sole custody of her 3-year-old son, Jace. But it looks like the tide is about to turn in Jenelley's favor.
Upon seeing the tweet, Jenelle's model boyfriend Nathan Griffith replied with the cryptic tweet "little do you know ;)" on July 25. Hmm...
Well, we do know that Jenelle's misdemeanor assault charges were continued to August 12, 2013 as of July 25 and the cyberstalking charges that Jenelle's ex Gary Head filed against her were dismissed, which puts her in decent standing with the law.
We also know that Jenelle's been working really hard to be a better mom for Jace. As of late, Jenelle's been showing her tyke lots of love and attention, what with attending swimming classes with him and making sure that his room at her house is stocked with everything he needs for his weekend visits.Could it be that Barbara is giving Jenelle more than just weekend privileges and she might actually get partial custody — or is Jenelle just reveling in her recent court victories? Tell us your theories below!

Anatomy of a raid
Successes in Iraq receive little public attention
Successes in Iraq receive little public attention. Did you read anywhere that in dawn raids on Oct. 20 a team of Iraqi soldiers and coalition advisors nabbed eight suspects from three terrorist cells specializing in kidnapping and murder? Or that the day before a similar force conducted an air-assault raid, capturing three men suspected of kidnapping and murdering Iraqi citizens?
Such raids prevent the multiplication of grisly incidents such as the Oct. 16 beheading of a kidnapped Orthodox priest in Mosul. But what goes into a successful raid? Here's an inside story about a raid last May 19 that led to the arrest of the alleged kidnappers of a journalist, Jill Carroll. (Carroll had been released on March 30, but these members of the "Revenge Brigade" allegedly also kidnapped others.)
As a young Marine Corps intelligence officer, Lt. Jake Cusack, tells the story, a convoy of armored Humvees carrying a raid force of 20 Marines rolled into a small village near Qaryat al Halabisah, west of the Euphrates River, near an abandoned train station and almost within sight of a large U.S. base. The target neighborhood seemed peaceful, but the Marines, proceeding on a tip, zeroed in on a home bearing the telltale green metal scrolling around the door mentioned in intelligence reports related to the Carroll kidnapping.
Cusack and other Marines called politely at the door: "We presented ourselves as being on a routine visit, sort of 'Hey, we're just here to talk and see what's going on.'" The Iraqi man who answered the door opened his home hospitably to the fully armed, desert-camouflaged Marines who entered. He invited two of the Marines and a translator into a parlor off a long hallway. There they sat on floor mats and were offered bread and tea.
"I'm sure [the Iraqis] were very much on edge," Cusack said. "But the strength of any insurgency is the ability to blend in anonymously with the population. They were trying to behave like any other citizens at home."
The isolation of the parlor from the rest of the house made it easy for Cusack and other Marines to slip away quietly to search the other rooms. They proceeded down the hallway into the bedrooms and bath where they found what they were looking for: a slip of paper with Carroll's name written on it, $3,600 in American currency, and a false ceiling above the shower concealing a space that had been used to hide explosives. A further search found some still-classified items, along with an AK-47 assault rifle hidden in a car.
The Marines arrested all three men on the spot. The raid also yielded information that led to the rescue of two Iraqi hostages and the capture of three others involved in the kidnapping ring. The difficulty for U.S. forces involved in such raids is what they call "friction," Cusack said, "all those things that separate war in the abstract from war in reality. The villains don't all look evil and the heroes don't all look the part. . . . It's difficult and frustrating to pick out who the enemy is. It's important to have an external frame of reference, something to anchor your perception of what's going on and the choices you make."

This is the kind of projects that has us excited about 3D technology. A biopic based on the life and times of Spanish artist Salvador Dali is reportedly in the works with Philippe Mora writing and directing, Alan Cumming to star as the surrealist and Judy Davis as his great love, Gala -- all, of course, in 3D.
The film is described as an untraditional biopic and reportedly "unfolds not as a linear narrative but as a series of dream-like, fantasy sequences intersected with reality, and is profoundly evocative of Dali's art." The story itself is apparently catalysed as, after near-fatal injuries from a house fire leaves him bedridden in hospital, "a semi-conscious Dali overhears a doctor suggesting what an extraordinary movie his life would make and so his mind -- and the film -- begins to soar, occasionally breaking the so-called 'fourth wall'' when the artist converses directly with his audience." Uh, sounds kinda amazing, right?
''I want this to be the film that Dali would have wanted you to see," Mora explained to the SMH. "True to his outrageous sense of humour, it will be simultaneously a surreal parody of what the artist would have wanted you to experience, a kind of crazed, artistic Inspector Clouseau. With his muse and wife Gala in the mix, it's an extraordinary love story.''
Also involved the story is Dali's work with Luis Bunuel which culminated in 1928's "Un Chien Andalou" and 1930's "L'âge D'or"; his associations with figures such as Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, Harpo Marx and Andy Warhol; his friendships with his mentor Picasso and the poet Lorca; his obsession with singer-performer Amanda Lear; and his bisexuality and obsession with Gala (Davis).
Lensing is set to begin in Cologne in June and will move to locations in New York, London, Barcelona and Australia, which will serve for parts of the Catalan coast. the project has a budget of $15m and is a collaboration between Aquafilm/Peter Kreutz in Cologne and Column Pictures in Sydney.

Parliament of Australia
House is not live
House of Representatives
Senate is not live
My Parliament
You are here:
In the wake of recent allegations that Australia spied on the Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, his wife, and a group of his advisors in 2009, Indonesia has recalled its ambassador to Australia, Nadjib Riphat Kesoema, and is 'reviewing' current bilateral cooperation. The last time Indonesia recalled its ambassador was in 2006 following the Papuan asylum seeker incident.
The response from the Indonesian parliament was predictably one of outrage. 'We question the decision to grant visas and political asylum at a time when the security situation in Papua province is tense,' said member of the House Commission I, Effendy Mara Sakti, of the Indonesian Democratic Party–Struggle (PDI–P). Another House Commission member, Yudy Chrisnandy of the Golkar Party, said the granting of political asylum and temporary visas was unethical and could disrupt relations between the two countries. It was President Yudhoyono's reaction, however, that surprised Australian leaders in its vehemence. Signalling a rift in relations, Indonesia promptly withdrew its ambassador to Australia. Yudhoyono also canvassed the possibility of reviewing other aspects of the relationship, including cooperation over people-smuggling and counter-terrorism.

Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. Heres a look at my ten year old baby...... but shes like an old shoe. She fits and shes comfortable.
It's just under 19lbs, I could knock off a pound or two with lighter wheels and such, but at 220lbs I'm more concerned with durabilty.
PS The chrome bits are actually ti.

How do you decide on which one to ride?Originally Posted by FROryder
I like how you mounted your HRM. I'll have to try that.
The Serotta is for training rides, the Litespeed is setup for touring with fenders and rack, also for commuting to work, wet weather and goofoff rides around town. The Gios and Marinoni are currently missing parts, and the Yeti is for offroad.

Others have already voiced (or rather typed) my thoughts. Aegis frames are definately worthy of upgrading. Remember that Aegis' goal is to build a bike that will be the last you'll ever need to buy. Of course they are a bit shortsighted in not accepting the fact that we as a group tend to want more bikes regardless of how well built they are. The first place I'd look to upgrade is the wheels unless of course you're more than happy with them.Originally Posted by JuanIsTheMan

Since moving to Indiana, buying a house, having kids, etc... my mountain biking has been on the decline, so last week my wife and I decided to purchase a pair of road bikes. So far we love them. I bought a 58cm Cannondale R900 Triple, and my wife bought a Cannondale SR500 that is simply beautiful. So here are the new rides:

She's not the lightest, although the ride is great. Everyone says, "oh, all materials feel the same, yadda yadda" but the ride is definitely MUCH smoother than my Trek 1000.

|Boys to begin regional tourney Friday in Denver
|Written by Chris Lee
Holyoke boys' basketball team secured a spot in the regional tournament with a 70-60 opening round district victory over Wray Tuesday, Feb. 21 in Holyoke.
The Dragons needed to beat the Eagles to secure a spot in the tournament. From there, they were guaranteed two more district games but wanted to make them count and claim a district championship at NJC Saturday, Feb. 25.
After a second-straight victory over Akron (72-64) in the semifinals, the stage was set for an exciting championship game Saturday night, Feb. 25 at the Bank of Colorado Event Center at NJC. Wiggins advanced through the other side of the bracket to meet up with the Dragons.
Reid Baumgartner gives it his all as he takes the ball
The two teams met twice in the regular season with each team winning on the other's home court. This grudge match was on a neutral court with a large crowd gathered to watch. After 32 minutes of tough basketball, Wiggins emerged as the Class 2A District 2 champion with a 59-52 victory over the Green and Gold.
The Dragons lifted the runner-up hardware Saturday night but inside, all 12 players wanted to be lifting more. They were disappointed but are still playing basketball.
The Dragons will travel to Denver Friday, March 2 to face Heritage Christian at Metro State College. The winner will advance to Saturday's regional championship for a chance to make the eight-team field at the Class 2A state tournament.
Holyoke 70, Wray 60
Last Tuesday, the Dragons played host to the Wray Eagles, a team they beat twice during the regular season. Wray hit the floor looking to pull the upset and advance to the rest of the district and regional tournaments.
Throughout all four quarters, the large crowd electrified the gymnasium and eventually helped rally the Dragons past the Eagles.
"I thought we started real well, particularly on the offensive end," coach Scott Dille said.
Holyoke jumped out to an early 22-17 lead. Over the next two quarters, the Dragons let up and Wray took advantage. They outscored Holyoke 17-14 in the second and 12-8 in the third.
Dille said the team just played basketball in the fourth quarter and finished strong to earn the victory.
Five players finished in double digits for the Dragons against Wray. Reid Baumgartner finished with 14, Austin Killin and Jeremy Loutensock each had 13, Tito Fierro 11 and Trevor Dalton 10.
The coach noted last Tuesday's game was the first time some of the players had ever seen themselves in a lose or go home situation. Holyoke has seen some strong play from the younger guys coming off the bench all season and this was their first taste of "post season" basketball.
Austin Killin goes up for two points against Wray
Holyoke 72, Akron 64
Holyoke secured a spot in the district championship with another impressive win over Akron last Thursday. The Dragons dumped the No. 1 seed 72-64.
Even though Holyoke got down early, they kept battling, according to Dille. The coach was really proud of the defense and the way Holyoke rebounded the ball. "We didn't give them many second shots, which against them is a huge thing."
It was a tight 14-15 ball game after one quarter of play with the Rams leading the way. Akron outscored the Dragons 18-12 in the second to take a 33-26 lead into the locker room. Holyoke turned things around and chipped away at the lead in the second half.
They clawed back after outscoring the Rams 16-13 in the third period. The Dragons blew the roof off the place in the final period as they hung 30 on the board while holding the Rams to 18.
"I was really, really happy for the kids," Dille said. "They worked hard and deserve that win. They did a great job of playing together and working together. I couldn't ask for more."
Baumgartner led with 28 points. Logan Tharp and Loutensock also were in double digits, scoring 15 and 13 respectively.
Holyoke 52, Wiggins 59
"It could've been cooler," coach Dille said about Saturday's district championship game. The Dragons hung right with Wiggins but came up short of capturing the district championship trophy.
No matter the outcome, the Dragons are still playing basketball.
Saturday's championship game was a physical one. Much of the offense on either side came from outside shooting. Wiggins took the early 3-0 lead with a shot from beyond the arc.
Buckets by Killin and Dalton gave Holyoke its only lead of the game 4-3. Two consecutive buckets from the Tigers gave them the lead and they never relinquished it.
Although they never led the game again, Holyoke hung right with the high-powered Wiggins team. At times, the Dragons shot very well. But there were times when they really needed something to fall but it never did. There were also times they needed to make a key stop but were unable to do so, Dille said.
The Dragons had a goal to keep the game close the entire way. "We fought hard," Dille said. "Wiggins is a really good team." The coach felt they made Wiggins earn every point they got.
The Dragons trailed 11-14 after the opening quarter. Baumgartner almost tied the game with a half-court attempt as time ran out, but it just missed.
The two teams continued to battle in the second and Wiggins took a 34-30 lead into the break.
A low scoring third quarter left the Tigers holding onto a 45-40 lead. Holyoke gave all they had in the final period. With 1:30 left in the game, Deyten Klein brought the Dragons within two, 49-51. He was fouled on the shot but was unable to sink the free throw.
Holyoke was forced to foul for the remainder of the game but couldn't ever seem to convert. They wouldn't sink another shot until Klein sunk a three-pointer with :21 left to pull within four, 52-56. Wiggins would go on to make 3-4 shots from the charity stripe to lock up the championship.
Klein nailed four from downtown and added a two-pointer to finish with 14 points to lead the Dragons. Baumgartner was the only other one in double figures with 13.
Upcoming action
The Dragons will travel to Metro State College in Denver Friday, March 2 and face Heritage Christian at 4:30 p.m.
Dille said he thinks Heritage will be pretty similar to Holyoke. They aren't the biggest team but they can shoot well. He said the team is looking forward to the challenge.

Serious & Simple – Would you cancel your online marketing ads based off Clicks, Impressions, Online Bookings, and/or "I asked my customers how they found us"?
If so, please take a look at this case study with a 78 room property that shows how important isolating where your calls are generated from is.
Before canceling your online advertisements, you may want to ask yourself these questions:
1. Do the majority of your bookings (transient & group) purchase through the telephone? Yes, everyone researches online – however, thousands of properties we work with at ResortsandLodges.com see a majority of their leisure travel & group sales confirmed via the telephone.
2. Do you renew advertising campaigns just based off of clicks to your web site?
3. Do you renew your advertising campaigns just based off online booking sales?
FACT: We have seen a resort consider canceling an online ad campaign that generated only $250.00 in online sales. However, they were able to see the broader picture once they implemented our FREE tracking application and began tracking the calls – they were able to validate over $14,000 in sales through the telephone. Typically, we see hundreds of properties each year consider canceling because they only look at online booking sales. The truth of the matter is, that next phone call could be a $10,000 wedding booking, $3,000 family reunion booking, or a $1,400 week stay at your property.
Because the majority of sales are still generated through the telephone, we highly recommend tracking those sales through a simple call tracking application that can be implemented within hours.
I encourage you to speak with your business consultant at ResortsandLodges.com – VEMGlobal to clarify the call tracking process and how you can get it implemented immediately. It is FREE. The results are quite amazing and, as you will see in the example below, this can mean seeing the difference in tens of thousands of dollars in sales. That is a tremendous difference in call volume — from only 18 tracked calls in 1 month to over 120.
Do you ISOLATE where your calls are coming from? NOT all clicks are created equal.

Wondering if those of you who pruchased your Duke tickets from the university have received them yet?
I wonder how many people will decide not to go to this now with the bowl game? I know I was planning on going but am going to tempe instead

Shanksville, PA -- Since September 11, 2001, the U.S. has changed in many ways, but life remains the same in a tiny town thrust into the national spotlight.
The way we travel has changed. The way we look at terrorism has changed. Security in New York City, in Washington and at the Pentagon has changed.
However, the town of Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the final resting place for those 40 passengers and crew aboard Flight 93, has not changed.
The town of 250 people in rural Pennsylvania still has one store, one intersection, no street lights, and four churches, just like it did ten years ago.
"Everyone's friendly and wonderful. It's known as a friendly little town," said Kristi Swank.
Like the other 249 people in Shanksville, Swank knows that what happened just a mile down the road, put this little town in the same sentence with New York City, Washington, D.C. and terrorism.
"Who would have thought in a little town like this, something like that would happen, but it did," she said.
Over the last ten years, the people of Shanksville have come to embrace their role as part of history.
"It was a little bit difficult at first, dealing with all of that. There were only a few people in town who felt comfortable talking to the media. I didn't at first," said Rick King, who was the assistant chief of the Shanskville Volunteer Fire Department on September 11, 2001.
King said while New York City and the Pentagon have media handlers, in Shanksville, they don't. So what happened on that day because their responsibility.
"We felt it was our duty to tell the story, especially when we found out what happened on that plane and what the passengers did. And then I think we took an honor in telling that story," said King.
Part of that story today is how the family called Shanksville, Pennsylvania grew to include the families of those who died on Flight 93.
"In the beginning, I think they helped us through our ordeal here. But I think more so, we helped them what they were going through and their grief," he said.
As the months and years passed, Shanksville accepted its place in American and world history. The passengers aboard the the plane fought back against highjackers. And because of their courage, instead of crashing into the Capitol or the White House, it crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside.
"They knew that if they didn't act, there were going to die. They knew what that plane was going to be used for. Through cell phone calls to their loved ones, they knew what was going on in New York and Washington. And they knew if they did act, they were probably still going to die. And we know what they did, that's pretty special," said King.
Shanksville today is now part of a pilgrimage for people paying their respects.
"It takes me ten minutes normally to mow my yard. In the summertime, I'm shutting it off probably ten times because I'm giving directions to people. Other than that, it hasn't changed. We're the same," said King.
Although the town has been forever changed by terrorism, heroes and happenstance, King said life goes on.
"We're still the same. I mean we go on, we live life. We raise our children. We coach little league, we coach basketball and we have picnics," he said.
In that regard, Shanksville today is the same as it was on September 10, 2001.

In what officials said was a complete violation of the Electricity Act, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday announced exemption for people who had defaulted on electricity bills and withdrawal of cases against those booked for power theft since March 23 last year when he launched the AAP campaign against power discoms in the city.
No action would be taken against the defaulters and pilferers since they were part of the andolan and the amount due from them would be paid by the Delhi government, Kejriwal said.
The regulator reacted cautiously, saying information from the office of the chief minister was still to reach them. I will not comment on the legal aspect, DERC chairperson P Sudhakar said.
But Shakti Sinha, who was Delhi secretary for power and finance until August 2013, said Kejriwals announcement was illegal as per the 2003 Electricity Act.
It has to be understood that power tariff can be brought down by the regulator after following a due process. There is the DERC for redressal of complaints. And then there are courts to settle disputes, Sinha said.
All electricity bills make it clear: The connection shall be liable for disconnection on non-payment of all dues, including arrears of due dates, after notice as per Section 56-1 of the Electricity Act 2003.
Officials said that of the nearly 45 lakh connections in the city under three power distribution companies, an estimated 10,000-12,000 consumers have been defaulting on electricity dues continuously since March last year. Connections of those in the lowest consumption slab of 0-200 units have not been severed.
BJP leader Harsh Vardhan said Kejriwals announcement was a sign of very bad governance... a sign of anarchist rule.
If today, when the BJP is not in governance, we tell people that if they stop paying bills under AAP rule, we will bring down bills by 50 per cent when we come to power, how will they feel... There is a difference between shouting on the streets and ruling, Harsh Vardhan said.
Earlier, explaining why he had a cut-off date for defaulters, Kejriwal said he had begun his civil disobedience movement against inflated power bills by going on a fast from March 23, 2013.
We had asked people to stop paying electricity bills if the bills did not come down, and re-connect if power connections were cut by the then government. We had assured them that all such cases would be exempted if we formed the government,

Our Visual Budget Explorer is lightyears beyond "Open Checkbook"
We've all seen the open checkbook efforts that most states have enacted. While these efforts are a good start in spirit, in practice these open checkbook websites are basically useless.
Posting endless lists of incomprehensible numbers does nothing for anyone. For example, on one state's open checkbook website in response to a simple query for expenses for all agencies, the site produces 380,000 pages of nonsensical detail, with each transaction missing one of the most critical elements that any financial report can have... the date.
Without context, no one can understand why money was spent, and what was received in return. The amount spent is only Half of the equation. Without information on who spent the money, why it was spent, and what value was received, transaction records on their own are of very limited value. Learn More

Mother, three kids burned in Lake Worth house fire remain hospitalized, on breathing machines
LAKE WORTH, Fla. - The mother and three kids who were severely burned in a house fire on Friday have yet to be released from the burn unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Youseline Herisse, 38, and her sons Harley, 13, Olwens, 7, and Walker, 6, remain on breathing machines as they recover from their injuries.
Eltony Herisse, the father of the family, said they have a long road to go until they get better.
"Wife is my body. Kids are my body. If somebody hurt, you hurt," said Eltony Herisse. "I feel very, very stressful. You know family kids. It's very terrible."
Herisse said what is even more terrible is that he feels the fire at the home he rented may have been prevented.
He said since he moved in months ago he has complained several times to the property manager about electrical problems.
Herisse said one person came out to check the issue, but could not find the problem. So Herisse complained again.
"They told me they were going to send someone to assess the problem and they're going to fix that," said Herisse.
The father of three said on Tuesday he was sent a text message from his property manager saying they were going to send out an electrician. Days later, the home went up in flames.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue investigators determined the fire was caused by an "electrical malfunction." The breaker box in the backyard of the home is now marked and considered evidence.
"I lost everything. But I don't care about everything. I care about my family, kids first," said Herisse.
What is keeping Herisse going is the heroics displayed by an unnamed Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy. The deputy saw the smoke, drove to the fire, jumped inside the burning home without any protective gear and began saving each of the trapped children.
"I say thank you for helping, thank you so much," said Herisse. "God bless him."
Calls for comment to the property manager were not returned.
Herisse's wife and children could spend several more days recovering at Jackson Memorial Hospital before being released.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - The No. 4 ranked Cal men's water polo team, led by four goals from sophomore Olympian Aleksa Saponjic and three goals from junior Collin Smith, defeated No. 7-ranked Pepperdine, 11-9, Friday (Nov. 23) in the first round of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament. The Golden Bears (16-7), who are the No. 3-seeded team in the tournament, will next face No. 2-ranked UCLA at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Cal has now won six matches in a row and will face a Bruins squad that is 25-2, including defeating the Bears, 11-10 in overtime Sept. 16 at the NorCal Tournament and upending Cal, 10-9 in sudden death overtime, Oct. 6 in Berkeley. Cal will also be looking to avenge UCLA's 7-6 overtime victory over the Bears in last year's MPSF Tournament semifinal at UCLA. The Bruins defeated Pacific, 10-8, in another first round match of the MPSF Tournament at USC.
Cal trailed the Waves, 4-1, after the first period and was behind Pepperdine, 6-5, entering the fourth quarter. But, the Bears dominated the final period by outscoring the Waves (11-11), 6-3, in the final eight minutes.
Along with the scoring of Saponjic and Smith - the top two scorers on Kirk Everist's squad with 45 and 61 goals, respectively - sophomore Luka Ivanovic notched a goal and sophomore goalie Jon Sibley finished with nine saves. Other scorers for the Bears included senior Mason Cox, junior Giacomo Cupido and sophomore Blake Kelly. Saponjic helped lead his native Serbia to a bronze medal at this summer's London Olympics.
If Cal defeats UCLA, it will be in the championship match of the MPSF Tournament Sunday, Nov. 25 at 3 p.m., with the winner earning an automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA championship, Dec. 1-2 at USC.
SCORING: PEP - Madaras 3, DeTrane 2, Sherburne, Hamby, Carroll, Loomis.
CAL - Aleksa Saponjic 4, Collin Smith 3, Luka Ivanovic,
Blake Kelly, Giacomo Cupido, Mason Cox.
SAVES: PEP - Valics 11 CAL - Jon Sibley 9, Michael Boggan 1 (last 46 seconds)

Plan to get all 10? all 29?
Printable View
Plan to get all 10? all 29?
Probably won't get all 29 but I intend to die trying. So far....
Whitetail deer
Blacktail deer
Mule deer
Roosevelt elk
Rocky Mt elk
Black Bear
California Bighorn
Grey Wolf
I hear ya and agree!
I like the idea of going after a new deer vs. hunting the same specie every year for ever, although I certainly plan to hunt some species year after year.
I'm confident I'll get all 10, all 29 however I think I could get close but some species such as polar bear, desert bighorn, etc... maybe be limiting factors in my quest.
Would like to get that elk this year, maybe a mulie next year,
Feel free to talk boys...
Blacktail deer
Whitetail deer
Mule deer
Rocky Mountain Bighorn
Antelope next year
Not really interested in the others. I would like to get some cougars and wolfs just to help out the deer and elk herds however.
Mule deer
Mountain goat
Whitetail deer
Barren ground caribou
Black bear
Wild American buffalo
Shiras moose
American alligator
Elk rocky mtn
16 Wyoming bighorn sheep points
Need a lion and some sheep
Will probably never get 29. But will die trying
I know the most recent guy that got the North American 29 (Pat Garrett) and it cost him just under $300K. From what I understand he did it on the cheap as well. He was self guided on most of his stuff (should also mention he is also an outfitter) and he did a lot of the big dollar hunts as cancellation hunts on short notice to cut the cost. I saw his cost breakdown and basically the sheep were at least half of his cost.
I pretty much have given up on the NA 29 unless the lottery rolls my way but I want to get the NA 10!
I can't afford all of them. I just want to get everything that colorado has. I'm not sure if that includes wolves or not, depends on who you talk to. I will put these at the top of my list, if I see one, so I can keep hunting the others.
Don't get me started on Wyoming sheep points, anyone with less than 10 pts shouldn't even build points, especially at $100 each, completely not worth it. To each their own though, with 16 pts you'll get your sheep one of these years. My view is anyone with less than 10, especially those just starting, 0-5pts, have so many guys ahead of them with 15+ pts etc... that your only hope is in the random draw, even with 10 pts, you're only chance is in the random draw, which of all the tags only 25% are random, so 4 tags = 1 random. I'll eventually apply for WY sheep but I'll never build points for sheep in WY, although by the time I could have had 10 they'll probably chance the system, so building and planning for change is 1 idea, but I wouldn't count on it.

Beating Caterham doesent tell us anything, their car is much slower than Marussia. Beating Chilton doesent tell us anything because he is to slow. Being couple of tenths from Vettel doesent tell us anything, Riciardo was faster on the test than Vettel before he went to Toro Rosso. Being close to Toro Rosso tells us nothing, it a different car than Marussia. Only thing that tels us anything is beatin your teammate because hes on the SAME machine you are. But sadly in this case with Marussia we dont really know how fast Bianchi is. I think one day he will ride Ferrari but before that day a want to see compete in same garage with fast teammate, and i believe that is something what Ferrari bosses want to see to.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida, March 11. WORLD and Olympic champions David Boudia and Katie Ledecky, as well as star water polo player Rachel Fattal, are nominated for the Amateur Athletic Union's prestigious James E. Sullivan Award, which is given annually to, according to the AAU, "the nation's outstanding amateur athlete."
In recent years, the term "amateur" has been redefined greatly, as many sports now allow their top athletes who are not NCAA eligible to receive compensation and sponsorship while performing at a high level. Boudia is one of those athletes, having turned pro after winning gold in platform diving at the 2012 Olympics and forgoing his senior year of eligibility at Purdue.
The nominations for Boudia, Fattal and Ledecky continues a long tradition of aquatic sport athletes nominated for this award. If one of their names is announced at the awards ceremony on April 11, it will be the second straight year that an aquatic sport athlete has won the award. Missy Franklin was last year's winner after her successful Olympic debut in 2012.
Boudia won the silver medal in platform diving at the 2013 world championships, which made him the first American to win medals in successive world championships in that event since Greg Louganis did it in 1986. As for Ledecky, she two world records at the world championships in the 800 and 1500 freestyles and was just the second female to break four minutes in the 400 freestyle en route to winning that gold medal. Fattal had a busy year, helping UCLA place third at the NCAA championships while winning Rookie of the Year. She was also at the world championships, where the USA placed fifth overall. She was also voted MVP at the junior world championships where she finally captured a gold medal.
A list of three finalists will be announced later this month, with the winner named at a gala in Orlando, Fla., on April 11. The public is invited to vote for their favorite athlete at the AAU website through March 23. Public voting accounts for one-third of the final tally.
Other nominees for the Sullivan Award this year are: baton twirler Ashley Bishop, Central Florida football player Blake Bortles, Oregon multi-sport athlete Liz Brenner, inline hockey player Joy Woog-Garvey, Connecticut basketball player Bria Hartley, powerlifter Robert Herbst, Miami volleyball player Alex Johnson, Auburn football player Tre Mason, Alabama football player AJ McCarron, Florida runner Cory Ann McGee, taekwondo player John Michael Nagel, Nebraska volleyball player Kelsey Robinson, Louisville basketball players Jude and Shoni Schimmel, Penn State football player John Urschel and Saint Francis basketball player Alli Williams.
Fifteen aquatic sport athletes have won the Sullivan Award since its debut in 1930, all of which were swimmers and divers. Ann Curtis was the first swimmer to win it in 1944, and Sammy Lee became the first diver to win the Sullivan Award, doing so in 1953. Below is a full list of swimmers and divers who have won the Sullivan Award:
Ann Curtis (swimming), 1944
Sammy Lee (diving), 1953
Pat McCormick (diving), 1956
Don Schollander (swimming), 1964
Debbie Meyer (swimming), 1968
John Kinsella (swimming), 1970
Mark Spitz (swimming), 1971
Tim Shaw (swimming), 1975
John Naber (swimming), 1977
Tracy Caulkins (swimming), 1978
Greg Louganis (diving), 1984
Janet Evans (swimming), 1989
Michael Phelps (swimming), 2003
Jessica Long (swimming), 2006
Missy Franklin (swimming), 2012

Catholic slide
Religion | Pope's visit to Mexico and Cuba comes amid a decline in Catholicism in Latin America
Two major issues overshadowed Benedict XVI's visit late last month to Mexico and Cuba: the ongoing decline of Latin American Catholicism, and the question of how overtly he should address continuing human-rights abuses in Communist Cuba.
Benedict renewed a call for greater Catholic effort in Latin America, which maintains the appearance of a heavily Catholic culture: Actual adherence to Catholicism has declined sharply in recent decades. In Mexico, the number of people self-identifying (even loosely) as Catholics dropped from 96 percent in a 1970 census to 80 percent in 2010. Evangelical and charismatic churches have, to some extent, filled the gap for those falling away from Catholicism.
Most of Cuba also remains at least nominally Catholic despite the Communists' long-time commitment to atheism. They loosened many of Cuba's restrictions on public worship in the early 1990s, with Protestant churches the primary beneficiaries. Practicing Christians in Cuba most frequently attend charismatic and evangelical churches.
Although he spoke out against Cuba's communist system, its atheistic stance, and its long record of suppressing dissent, Benedict concluded his itinerary by holding a brief meeting with former dictator Fidel Castro. Some criticized that visit and said it tacitly affirmed the regime now controlled by Fidel's brother Raúl.
Coptic transition
The death of Coptic Orthodox Pope Shenouda III on March 17 added to the uneasiness of Egypt's Christian minority amidst growing political uncertainty and Islamist persecution. Shenouda had viewed President Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime as a shield against Islamic extremism, protecting the Coptic population (about 10 percent of Egypt's 80 million people) from anti-Christian violence of the kind that has wracked Egypt since Mubarak's deposal in February 2011. Shenouda's successor will have to contend with Islamists who are poised to commandeer the post-Mubarak political system.
Observers say that the process of replacing the pope should take several months. Church officials will receive nominations for the new pope, and then vote to form a slate of three finalists. In a striking final step, a young child will choose the new pope by selecting one of the names out of a box.

Narrow Northfield?
In Massachusetts, controversy surrounds the disposition of a former campus of the Northfield Mount Hermon School, which evangelist D.L. Moody founded in 1879. The idyllic Northfield campus closed seven years ago, and the Green family-owners of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores-acquired it in 2009. The Greens originally planned to donate the campus to the C.S. Lewis Foundation to open a college there, but the foundation has struggled to raise funds to operate the institution.
Earlier this year the Greens began soliciting proposals from other institutions that might be able to use the campus (although the C.S. Lewis Foundation is apparently still in the running). When Liberty University of Lynchburg, Va., emerged as one of the leading candidates, some graduates of Northfield Mount Hermon protested, decrying the possibility that the campus could end up in the hands of a "homophobic and intellectually narrow institution."
Northfield Mount Hermon's website acknowledges the school's evangelical roots, but insists that education there was "never dogmatic." The protesters apparently believe that it would be better to leave the campus vacant than have it run by educators with a different perspective. -Thomas Kidd
