I know at Auburn Middle School the staircase has an up and a down side but check out what Utah Valley University has done with their stairwell.

It doesn't matter if you're 18 or 80, if you want to go to college Augusta Adult and Community Education can help you with college transition courses which can even get you college credits before you even start! Best of all is, it's FREE!

How would you feel if your daughter, who was in college, had to take the final exam of one of her classes completely naked along with a bunch of other students....and the teacher...by candlelight? Creepy? I'd say so. But this San Diego professor, Roberto Dominguez, says "it's the standard canvas for performance art and body art."

So, you want to be a circus acrobat? Or a main attraction at Cirque du Soleil? If the circus is your dream, Maine is the right place to be because the nation's only "circus school" is set to open here next Monday!

Last night on my way home from work I was caught between hitting the drive thru and ordering something easy to eat off the dollar menu or stopping by the grocery store and getting something frozen and microwaveable to eat when I got to the house. I chose the grocery store.

Pamela Crate from the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) spoke with us about the importance of completing the FAFSA form if you are in or going to be going to college. If you're not sending this form in every year (in January is recommended prior to the fall you're starting), you may be shortchanging yourself! Listen to what Pam had to tell us!

Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about this. I'm very pro second amendment. I'm very pro US Constitution. Some people, including a certain professor in Texas, apparently, is not. If you can get past this guy's Hobbit t-shirt, what he has to say, in my opinion is good and accurate. Feedback, anyone?

Here is a unique educational opportunity. There is a plan to open a circus-performance college in Portland. The Circus Conservatory of America would offer a Bachelor degree in circus arts. No, it’s not 'clown college', it’s a lot more.

Nick Vander Tuig pitched eight shutout innings and Eric Filia drove in five runs, as UCLA beat Mississippi State, 8-0, to sweep the best-of-three College World Series in Omaha, Neb. on Tuesday night.
