It all starts at the top. If a coach has that dynamic to attract youngsters to a sport like volleyball who many have played only in gym class, it has a chance to succeed on the high school varsity level. Pat Bemis has been an Algebra II and Integrated Math teacher at Saugus High School the last five years after graduating from Emmanuel College with degrees in Mathematics and Secondary Education. He grew up in western Pennsylvania, and started playing volleyball in the seventh grade. He continued his pursuit of the sport at Baldwin High School, just outside Pittsburgh, and then played it on Continue reading >>>

For the price of one home here, you could buy nearly three houses in Orlando, where prices have more than 60 percent from their peak to $115,000.
