CAYUGABRIEFS Long time CCC staff member retires
Wish Carolyn Guariglia well in her retirement!
Dr. DeCinque fine after procedure It was reported through a campuswide email last week that interim CCC President Dr. Gregory DeCinque was admitted to a hospital with chest pains. Fortunately, he underwent a minor procedure and is now recovering.
CCC Library wants your old games “The Library would like your assistance. Sometimes the students need a little break from their studies, so we have designated an area for puzzles and games to help them relax. As you start your spring cleaning, if you have any puzzles or games that you no longer use, would you consider donating them to the Library? Not only do the students use them, but when community users and employees take a break, they walk by and add a piece or two in the puzzle. Thank you for helping us to make the Library a friendly place to study and work.” —Sherry Kelsey

however, ominous new budget aside, is the search for a new permanent president. With the search well underway, the candidates have already been chosen for the job. The committee was held on March 6th to review each of the 12 candidates. The ones who pass the review will be interviewed, narrowing it down even further to just 3 or 4 candidates, to be submitted to the board of trustees -- your new possible president. While the potential candidates are all kept under lock and key, rumors will spread regardless, and the word on the street is that there’s people right here at CCC with their eyes on the prize.

No matter what though, with whatever budget we have, and whoever president we have, the school will move along -- just like it always does.
ADVANCES IN SPORTS MEDICINE
What is Cyrotherapy? By Dustin Albino, Sports Editor
By definition, cyrotherapy is the extreme cold in surgery or medical treatment. However, the treatment wasn’t all that big until 2011. Cyrotherapy is one of the new ways that athletes treat their body. In 2011, American sprinter Justin Gatlin showed up at the World Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Daegu, South Korea, with frostbite on his feet. This condition was painful — he told reporters that he had blisters on both heels — but it was also improbable, given that he’d developed the frostbite in Florida in August. But Mr. Gatlin had been sampling one of the newest, trendiest innovations in elite athlete training. He’d gone into a whole-body cryotherapy chamber, and his feet had frozen there. Whole-body cryotherapy is, essentially, ice baths taken to a new and otherworldly level, and it is drawing considerable attention among athletes, both elite and recreational. In the cryotherapy chambers, the ambient temperature is lowered to a numbing minus 110 Celsius or minus 166 Fahrenheit.
This seems to be like a bad treatment then right? Wrong. Athletes have always been noted with taking extreme cold ice baths after practices or even performances on their field of concentration. It is often noted with football players, which is why they have picked up on cyrotherapy. Cyrotherapy is like no other athletic treatment, it is extreme. Current star on the Real Madrid soccer team, Christiano Ronaldo recently purchased one of these ice chambers. And with two threeminute sessions a week he has taken his already incredible strength and fitness to another level. Ronaldo would sleep in the chamber and occasionally, allowing its revolutionary high-altitude conditions that would increase red blood cells meaning oxygen reached the muscles more quickly, delaying fatigue and speeding his post-match recovery. Now that cyrotherapy is out to the public, many athletes have used it to their advantage. It will be interesting to see on how it transforms in the next decade or so.

OPINIONS Here’s how I see it!
Take a tip, before you take a trip!
Caleb Slater
I don’t know what’s scarier, the idea of flying, or the idea of paying WAY too much to fly in the first place. If any of you plan on taking a trip this summer, then it’s a good idea to follow some of the insider secrets to save you money on booking a flight that the airlines don’t want you to know about.
For s t a r t e r s , focus on the journey, not the destination. To put that in better terms, you should explore your flight options. Often times your layover, (If you have one), will make a price difference in the grand scheme of things. Even the airport you fly out of can make a difference, for example when I was booking my flight to Orlando, I found two different flights from the airline company Delta, one that flies out of Rochester and another that flies out of Syracuse, keep in mind that was the only difference in the two flights; they had the same layover, return and departure days, with similar departure times, but for some reason the Syracuse flight was almost $50 more expensive! Another thing to keep in mind is your date of departure, this is a
big tip, because for some reason people tend to fly most frequently on Mondays and the weekend, so by booking on any other day, you’re bound to save money. I’ll give you another example with my flight to Orlando, I was originally looking to fly out on a Friday afternoon, until I saw the same flight was $35 cheaper on a Thursday afternoon! Trust me, the day of departure makes a difference. This next tip sounds a bit strange and won’t necessarily work for everyone, bit it doesn’t hurt to try checking Facebook, that’s right Facebook. More and more airlines have taken the initiative to interact with their customers over social media sources, such as Facebook and often times will promote their sales and deals over the site. The only issue with the Facebook flight is that their post is sent out to a wide array of people around the world and by the time you see it they could be sold out, so if you take the Facebook option you’ve got to act fast! Try,try again. If you’re not satisfied with your pricing options, check back again the next day, as airlines tend to lower their prices as the day of departure grows near. Don’t wait too long though, as you might end up missing an opportunity with a flight getting completely booked and that’s the last thing you want to happen. Check a plethora of sites, as I stated before, be open to explore your flight options, this same pinch of advice can be said about the very source that you use to book your flight in the first place. Different websites can offer a specific set of deals. Don’t be afraid to check the official airline website, as well. The official airline websites are often overlooked, which is strange because that’s where you can find offers specific to that particular airline and that’s also where you’ll find oh information on luggage pricing, which is pretty handy to know. When I purchased my flight to Orlando, I did it right off of the Delta website because I discovered, through the other sites I checked that Delta was giving out consistently low rates. Just to recap, be sure to: explore your flight options, fly TuesdayThursday, check on social media sources, such as Facebook and just keep checking. It has often been said that flying is the cheapest way to travel, other than walking, hopefully these insider tips will make your trip the most economical as well!
