With 2013 legislative sessions largely adjourned in statehouses across the nation, this is the third in a series of issue-specific session roundups from Progressive States Network highlighting trends in different policy areas across the fifty states.
This year, as the aftershock of an election decided by the emerging electorate [1] settled in, the focus of immigration policy has been on the federal level, where the U.S. Senate succeeded [2] in passing a bill aimed at simplifying our broken immigration system and creating a roadmap to citizenship for the estimated 11 million aspiring citizens currently in the country.
The national call for progress has also energized state fights for more inclusive immigration policy and, notably, stemmed [3] the flow of anti-immigrant bills that seemed omnipresent just two short years ago. While the long-awaited federal package for immigration reform makes its way through the legislative process, here's a recap of the action legislators took in states across the country.
(Source: Associated Press [4], May 2013)
The Good: Huge Progress on Tuition Equity, Driver's Licenses
Driver's Licenses Spread
2013 was a landmark year for common-sense state policies aimed at making our roads safer and integrating immigrants into our economy more fully. Before this year's session, there were only three states that offered driver's licenses to residents regardless of status. That number is now nine.
- In Illinois, a bipartisan group of legislators passed SB 957 [5] which created a temporary license for qualifying undocumented immigrants.
- In Oregon, Gov. John Kitzhaber signed SB 833 [6], creating new short-term renewable licenses for undocumented drivers.
- In Colorado, an amazing group of undocumented activists worked in conjunction with Sen. Jessie Ulibarri to pass SB 251 [7]in a banner year for immigrants in the state.
- In Vermont, after a favorable report from a study commission last year and incredible activism by Migrant Justice, Gov. Peter Shumlin signed S 38 [8] into law.
- In Maryland, an impressive coalition of community, labor, and elected officials moved the legislature to pass SB 715/HB 789 [9], the Maryland Highway Safety Act of 2013.
- In Connecticut, Gov. Dannel Malloy signed HB 6495 [10] into law, making renewable licenses available to residents regardless of immigration status.

Tuition Equity Passes Hurdles
2013 was also another big year for the broad effort to erase barriers for talented undocumented youth to pursue higher education and benefit their communities. Before this year's sessions, there were 14 states with laws or administrative policies in place to expand educational opportunity to undocumented students. That number is now 16.
- In Colorado, the ten-year battle to win tuition equity at the General Assembly ended with the passage of ASSET, SB 13 [12].
- In Oregon, another ten-year battle to open up opportunity for Oregon students ended with Gov. Kitzhaber's signature on HB 2787 [13].
The Bad: Anti-Immigrant Copycats and Reactions to Deferred Action
Georgia Takes Another Bite at the Anti-Immigrant Apple
In stark contrast to the harsh anti-immigrant policies dominating state legislatures in the last few years, 2013 has seen a remarkable slowdown in omnibus bills aimed at making states more unwelcoming to new Americans.
One of the few states defying the trend towards a more commonsense immigration policy this year was Georgia. In 2011, Georgia passed their SB 1070 copycat, HB 87 [14]. Amid massive protests [15] from community, faith, and business groups, Gov. Nathan Deal and the legislature vowed to revisit the law and dial back some of its excesses [16].
Instead, SB 160 [17] pushed Georgia further into the abyss by blocking undocumented immigrants from receiving state-issued driver's licenses, grants, public housing, and retirement benefits. In addition, the law created massive paperwork requirements for all city, county, and state government agencies with more than two employees by mandating participation in the controversial and inaccurate federal E-Verify [18] pilot program.
Reactions to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
On June 15th, 2012 President Obama announced [19] a new policy within the Department of Homeland Security called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The much-needed policy shielded certain DREAM Act-eligible youth from deportation while issuing work permits and opening up a pathway for these undocumented youth to apply for state driver's licenses. While most states reacted positively to the announcement and welcomed the chance to bring these talented young people into the mainstream of their economies and societies, governors of two states allowed anti-immigrant sentiment to drive their decision to deny driver's license to DACA recipients.
In Nebraska, Gov. Dave Heineman obstinately refused [20] to comply with DACA directives. In Arizona, notorious anti-immigrant Gov. Jan Brewer reinforced [21] her state's reputation as ground-zero for anti-immigrant policy by forcefully denying driver's licenses to DACA recipients. Both Nebraska's [22] and Arizona's [23] policies are currently being challenged in court.
Other Highlights: Community Policing and the Push for Comprehensive Reform
TRUST Act Makes Headway
The fight to end the expensive and expansive immigration dragnet that has led to record deportations was advanced this year in Connecticut, where the TRUST Act passed [24] both houses. Based on a model that has been pushed in California, Connecticut's bill (HB 6659 [25]) will empower local law enforcement to make realistic decisions about when to honor federal immigration detainers. By limiting participation in the federal Secure Communities program, Connecticut law enforcement could focus its policing efforts on serious and violent crime and re-engage with an immigrant community that has long associated local police with immigration roundups. California's TRUST Act (AB 4 [26]) also passed the Assembly for the third time and hopes to pass the final hurdle after seeing a former version vetoed [27] by Gov. Jerry Brown last year.
Federal Immigration Reform Takes the Big Stage
While happenings at the state level on immigration policy have garnered significant attention, the effort to reform federal immigration law has been the primary focus of lawmakers and advocates this year.
The bipartisan "Gang of 8" in the U.S. Senate introduced S. 744 [28], which among its many provisions creates a 13-year citizenship pipeline for most undocumented immigrants. While the bill contains a plethora of counterproductive items (including a cutoff date for the citizenship pipeline in 2011 and a broad expansion of the notoriously inaccurate E-Verify system) it has largely been seen as an important step forward in creating a common-sense immigration system built for the 21st century. As such, legislators in more than 16 states [29] this year introduced resolutions calling on Congress to fix our broken immigration system and create a roadmap to citizenship for the more than 11 million aspiring citizens in the country.
While S. 744 recently passed the full Senate before a House version makes its way through the legislative process, there is still a long way for it to go. Already, the passage of an amendment which pushes for an unprecedented militarization [30] of the border has met with serious disapproval from immigration advocates and has led some to withdraw [31] their support.
With a tougher road ahead in the House, the question of whether Congress will be ultimately successful in passing a comprehensive reform bill that includes a roadmap to citizenship for all 11 million aspiring citizens remains unclear. But either way, advancing pro-immigrant, pro-growth policies will continue to be the smart move for states interested in welcoming immigrants and their economic contributions in the months and years to come.

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
Find your most comfortable fit in this Skins Crew Rashguard, designed to keep you protected from harmful rays with unrestricted movement.
I am using this rash guard to swim laps for an hour during peak sun in Florida. I am 5''5 and 125 lbs medium build. I found the medium way too loose in the water and had to reorder a small. The small fits snugly but once in the water the fit is perfect. I recommend this product for swimming. It is not ungainly for lap swimming.
great product!
This top fits tightly but gives great definition. Have to get used to the tighter feeling. Bikini top fits well underneath without bulk. Bought the aqua which was a lighter color in reality then the photo showed.
This has potential but not "true to size". I''m 5''2, 100 pds, size 0, and could not breathe in XS. I tried it on my 11 year old. It was so tight she wouldn''t even finish putting it on. I think in the right size it would be adorable, but hard to even figure what the right size is to be snug without suffocating
I have a 36 bust and bought a medium. It fits perfectly. I bought it to wear over my bathing suit to keep me a bit warmer when I am teaching swimming or swimming on a very cold day. Of course, it creates a bit of drag but it stays put and does the job. After a lap I don''t even realize I have it on.
Beautiful color (but more of an orchid color - it is a stretch to call it pink) and cute style, but very, very off in size. Even according to the O''Neill size chart! My daughter is normally a medium, but needed a large according to the size chart. We ordered that one. When it arrived, the color was off as the sizing. My younger daughter who wears small, because she is so petite, looked horrible in it. It was tight on her! A rash guard needs to be snug, but not suffocating. The only reason that I am giving it 2 stars is because of the quality of the material and how cute it was.
keeps me warm in outdoor pool for fitness lapsfits great, not too snug but stays put and moves withme with no impediment. Seems sturdyenough to last a while. Love it.
I wear size 34 bra and buy my swim suit 1 size smaller. I got this in the smallest size even though I read the reviews and many said it wasn''t true to size. I found it fit fine and it works beautifully when the pool is cold, which is why I wear it.
Wore it today in the pool doing laps. The pool was a little chilly today so I thought I would try it. I read a lot of comments about sizing, so I wasn''t sure what to order. I am a 34 bra size and normally order a 32 suit as they shrink quickly and I like them small. I got an extra small in this and it was fine. I weigh 105 if that helps people get an idea for sizing. It fit snugly. The neck was tight, but it didn''t seem to bother me even wearing my underwater MP3 player which I clip onto my suit straps in the back which pulled the neck tighter. I''m not sure how quickly it will stretch out, but I like the product and it kept me much warmer.
ordered the small, it was very tight. Could barely get my head in. Like the look, but had to return and order one size up.
Get an alert when we add new styles of O''Neill! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
Jack O'Neill began surfing in 1952, before functional surf apparel was invented. While working for the Army Air Corps, O'Neill discovered neoprene foam in a DC-3 airplane. He then combined the neoprene carpeting with duct tape to create the first neoprene wetsuit.
Demand for O'Neill's neoprene wetsuits grew rapidly and he began a business selling the O'Neill wetsuits out of his garage. By 1980, he was a leader in the beach apparel industry with a thriving business. Since then, O'Neill™ has become a widely recognized and respected brand in the surf industry, continually creating new and innovative products. In addition to O'Neill wetsuits, they carry O'Neill boardshorts, O'Neill dresses, O'Neill hats, O'Neill rash guards, O'Neill swimsuits, O'Neill water shoes, O'Neill sandals, O'Neill life jackets and O'Neill t-shirts.
In addition to his business success, O'Neill also created a non-profit foundation for kids. O'Neill developed the O'Neill Sea Odyssey Program: a free, educational cruise that introduces kids to the microbiology of the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary, beginning at Jack O'Neill's doorstep.

Boy o boy couldnt America do stuff in them days the whole world was rivetted.
Comon fellas get rid of the NWO company and do it all again.We all want it!
The marxists and facists will all have to leave the building.
my favorite western of all time i still love this show its on MeTV
Does anyone know how many people he was supposed to have killed being a peaceful rancher? Almost every episode he usally guns down one or more.
One of the finest westerns in the history of television!
@WSenator1 watch the detectives with robert taylor in here same composer the one hour episode with a cop thats a cop killer is good
@spacepatrolman a similar situation occured when gene evans was cast in the steel helmet they wanted to see if he could load an M1 rifle without getting his thumb caught in the breech
@whiskeyify right he caught it through it back at them and said what are you monkeys trying to pull [ it is unclear whether chuck connors ever studied acting he was a professional bassball player and basketball player then he sold insurance to a hollywood agent and convinced him to represent him [ maybe johnny crawford could shed some light on this ] clint walker said if you study acting it could spoill your natural ability he was a deputy sheriff who was "found " by an agent
If the show took place in 1881, how did he get a hold of a Winchester Model 1892 rifle from 9 years in the future ??? Was he a time traveller or what ???
Book 'em, Big Boy!
I read the story about why he was given the part…don't know if it's true or not.
Seems as each actor opened the door to walk into the room where they were doing the interviews someone would toss a rifle at them. All of them fumbled and dropped it except for Chuck Conners.
This particular episode, "Miss Bertie" {December 27, 1960}, featured Agnes Moorehead in another of her more notable performances in a TV western….and an equally great supporting cast [Richard Anderson, Leonard Stone, Bill Quinn]. The director was James Clavell, who'd later turn novelist with several best-selling books, including "Shogun", which itself was converred into a 1980 TV miniseries (of which also served as executive producer).
Dick Powell: "This has been a FOUR STAR production".
THANKS for sharing this. One of my favorite TV theme songs. And the show itself was one of the BETTER half hour TV Westerns. Excellent casting certainly helped (Chuck Connors, Johnny Crawford & Paul Fix, etc).
@greennleafy – I was just on the "Wanted Dead or Alive" site, and the same man who wrote that theme also wrote this one. I agree with you about the music: ballsy, kick-ass!
Hey..that super cool rifle?
It might as well be his DICK!
Play frame 0:00 to frame 0:05 over and over and its hilarious as hell!
Looks like he's jerking off!
I am just saying…
I dare you to play that frame over and over and not laugh just a little.
Don't get me wrong… I loved the Rifleman as a kid . It was one of the best.
The Rifleman was a Bad Ass
I remember on Married with Children Al was talking about the Rifleman and his son and He pondered was that his wife he was shooting at at the beginning of the show LOL
Guest star on was Agnes Moorhead, later Endora on "Bewitched"
this music, especially the closing theme, had a rich, very masculine sound that made me tingle. still does after all these years. and even though i hate guns, there's nothing sexier than chuck connors with that rifle in his hands, those long legs and that "look" in his eyes. whew! thanks for posting this.

International Delicacies, 8817 Kingston Pike
Astral convergence on Kingston Pike; wildly varying planes of reality intersecting in a small strip mall; one-stop shopping, in short, taken to the next level. Baronâ's Place, located just a few blocks west of Bridgewater Road, has something for everyone.
For example, Off the Wall at Baronâ's Place features Grateful Dead paraphernalia; Budget Bridal by Connie will outfit your wedding; Pouch Place, the Medical Specialty Shoppe, provides all your colostomy needs (presumably in the charming manner of the Old English country colostomy shoppe).
If youâ're a bride with a pouch booking a jam band to play the reception, youâ're in business. If you intend to serve blintzes, caviar, and kluski slaskie (every wedding reception needs Silesian dumplings), youâ've really got it made. International Delicacies, a small shop crammed with imported groceries from Eastern Europe, adds the final touch to the weird Baronâ's Place mix.
If International Delicaciesâ' presence in the strip mall is cosmic serendipity, its location in Knoxville is the end point of a comparatively straightforward story. Manager Liliya Cirsteaâ's familyâ"her mother, father, and seven brothers and sistersâ"came to the United States from the Ukraine in the mid-â'90s, driven out of their village by the turmoil surrounding the break-up of the Soviet Union.
They settled first in California, then moved to Oregon, where Liliyaâ's father and brothers worked in construction. When her father suffered a knee injury on the job, he found the ocean mists of the Pacific Northwest aggravated the pain. A brother worked on a building project in Atlanta, with some work in Knoxville, and his reports on the cityâ"the river, the hills, the moderate climate, no oceanâ"appealed to the family. They decided to move to Tennessee.
If the notion of 10 people moving as a unit around the world and across the continent seems kind of, well, Old Country, Cirstea explains that was the way she grew up. â"It was a village and you knew the same people your whole life,â" she says. â"There was a very strong sense of community. Our family is very united.â"
The notion of community explains a lot about the appeal of International Delicacies, which opened its doors in 2003. Buying from importers, primarily in New York but also in California, Detroit, and Chicago, Cirstea stocks the storeâ's shelves with canned goods, grains, juices, sweets, and cheeses from Russia, Belarus, Croatia, Bulgaria, and other countries. International Delicacies meets the needs of an Eastern European community in Knoxville that Cirstea estimates may number 500 to 2,000 people.
This means shoppers of all backgrounds can find goodies unavailable anywhere else in town, and though most of the foods are imported, the prices are surprisingly low. The shop is big on sweets, including a wide selection of exotic liquor-filled chocolates. There are lots of teas to go with the sweets, and herbs such as valerian for medicinal purposes. International Delicacies offers sausages prepared in New York in European styles with European spices, as well as frozen and smoked fish and a full selection of imported caviars.
It pays to be adventurous, but some tastes may have to be acquired; the popular Russian drink, kvass, fermented in vats of soaked rye bread, tastes pretty much as you would imagine. Reading the labels is also an adventure, with translations into Ukrainian, Russian, German, and, as an afterthought, English. One cookieâ's ingredients include â"a flour wheaten (premium), confiture bilberry, vegetative fat, fructose, an egg powder, dry skimmed milk, fluffers, soda food, salt, and powder vanilla.â"
Itâ's fun to be on someone elseâ's turf. As Cirstea says, â"If you canâ't travel, you can come here.â" And if you are from Eastern Europe, you probably already know about International Delicacies. A community center at the front of the store posts announcements and customersâ' business cards. â"People come here to meet people,â" she says. â"We donâ't make a whole lot of money, but we form bonds with our regular customers.â"

Beverly Hills Unified School District students and their families spent a few hours on Christmas Eve making 1,300 lunches for the hungry. An annual BHUSD Christmas tradition, the event benefited the Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition.
"We had about 300 students show up from all five schools," said Laura Margo, the head of community service for the Beverly Vista PTA. The event was held at .
Students assembled lunches that contained a sandwich, an apple, chips or a granola bar, a drink, a candy cane, two pieces of candy, a napkin and a handmade card.
"I like helping the homeless, just like my mom does," said Evan Baron, a first grade student at Beverly Vista, who was making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches alongside his mother, Glenna.
The community came together to provide the needed items, Margo said. Each of the five schools donated peanut butter, jelly, snacks or drinks. Resident Janis Gurnick contributed 1,400 candy canes.
Local businesses also helped. Mammoth Water provided a few hundred bottles of water, and Bruce and Stefani Langer, whose children attend Beverly Vista, gave a few hundred Langers juice boxes.
The donated coffee and hot chocolate to all the parents and student volunteers.
"We'd like to give a special thanks to the PTA Council for donating 1,400 apples and for contributing $500 towards the event," Margo said, referring to the umbrella group for the five BHUSD PTAs.
Even before the event, Beverly Hills elementary students contributed by making 1,300 holiday cards to go into the lunch bags. Each school's community service representative organized the card collection.
Middle and high school students received four service points for attending the event as part of their . However, that was not the primary reason for being there, most students said.
"It really feels good to help others," one high school freshman said.

CHEERS to Sigma Tau Gamma members, who went out into the streets after our first big snowstorm of the season, on Feb. 24, to help clear walkways for neighbors. The fraternity of Plattsburgh State students has a house at the head of William and Couch streets, and when the storm filled up sidewalks and driveways, members got out shovels and started clearing the way for city residents who live nearby. We had a call from the pleased daughter of an older woman whose walkway had been shoveled. We all know that fraternities and sororities occasionally get into situations that don't show their members in the best light. But far more consistently, these young women and men are out in the Plattsburgh community, doing good deeds, taking part in fundraisers and providing volunteers for events sponsored by local nonprofits. The snow shoveling was a spontaneous, unrequested example of good community service, offered with no expectation of personal reward. People who grumble about "kids these days" obviously don't know much about the Greek organizations at Plattsburgh State and other area colleges.
JEERS to drivers who can't follow the George Angell Drive traffic signs in the City of Plattsburgh. We do this Jeer about once a year because drivers continue to defy the law at this awkward intersection of Rugar Street and the street that runs between Plattsburgh High School and Plattsburgh State's Sibley Hall. During morning dropoff time and afternoon pickup hours, long lines of cars would get backed up on George Angell Drive by drivers waiting for a break in the busy Rugar Street traffic so they could turn left onto Rugar or go straight onto Prospect Avenue. It's been a problem for years, so the city tried to alleviate the traffic backups by installing signs that seem simple enough. They say that from 7 to 9 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m., you can turn right only. No left turn. No going straight. You have to turn right onto Rugar and either head east into the city or turn left onto Olivetti Place to backtrack to other places. Yet, day after day, obstinate drivers still insist on holding up traffic and creating a hazard that could lead to accidents. And it's not usually the teenagers leaving school who are to blame. Most of the offenders are parents, who can't blame their ignorance on driver inexperience. Why they think it's OK to inconvenience an entire line of cars so they don't have to drive a block out of their way is anyone's guess. We would love not to have to write this Jeer again during the 2012-13 school year, but we aren't optimistic.
— If you have a Cheers and Jeers suggestion that you want the Editorial Board to consider, email it to Editor Lois Clermont at email@example.com.

— It is clear you are a man on the political left. I am a man on the political right. We need each other to maintain balance. Please take a more responsible position than you have, and one I believe you are capable of. Do not attempt to convince your readers that what Todd Akin said is representative of all those in the GOP or on the political right ("Akin's comments a window into GOP's perversion" Aug. 22). To do so is almost as ridiculous as what Mr. Akin said.
Both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have denounced Mr. Akin's comments regarding abortion, as have virtually all intelligent, thinking individuals.
Mr. Akin believes strongly that there is no room in our society for abortion. He is entitled to his opinion and not alone with those sentiments. But he is alone in the way he attempted to explain his position. A man with as much political experience as he has should never have made those comments. But then there is Vice President Joe Biden, the only politician who could come close to saying something as absurd as what Mr. Akin said. Every time Mr. Biden makes one of his ridiculous comments, no attempt is made to imply or say directly that his remarks represent all of those on the left. I would be just as critical of anyone who would suggest that.

So many options, so little time. At least the choices for washers (though not dryers) have become ever more energy and water efficient. Here's our advisory for 2013.

Rep. Joe Barton's last bright idea – to apologize to BP for having to make reparations for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico – earned him national ridicule.
His pandering may not have misfired (much) in the conservative-leaning Texas district he represents, but it was a rude affront to those who earn a living on the gulf, and anyone who cares about the workers and wildlife there.
Now, less than a year later, Barton again appears to have his finger on the pulse of the mean-spirited minority.

If visions of a new computer, an upgraded cell phone or a flat screen TV are dancing in your head this holiday season, you don't necessarily have to feel guilty about it. No one will confuse adding 50 inches of viewing pleasure with planting a tree when it comes to carbon footprint, but bringing that shiny new toy into your home may not be quite the environmental faux pas it used to be.
From design to operation to disposal, electronics are getting a little more eco-friendly. That's a good thing, too, since we seem to be incorporating more and more of them into our daily lives. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, a typical American household features 24 electronic devices, from clock radios to DVDs and Blu-Ray players to computers and TVs.

You can hear them rattle in the winter, and rumble in the summer. Whether they're underfoot or overhead in the attic, these unseen monsters can really make a difference in your home's heating and cooling bills.

Data centers, those energy-consuming machinery hives that keep the Internet and so much else aloft, can now earn an Energy Star label.
To receive the Energy Star certification, a data center must rate in the top 25 percent of its class in terms of energy efficiency, according to the EPA, which announced the new designation this week.

The world's water supply needs protection on all sides. Industrial pollution and human waste contaminate water supplies across the globe, while chemical- and pharmaceutical-laden runoff compromised the water re-supplying our streams and aquifers.
Deforestation and development have drained wetlands, half of which disappeared in the last century.

Following criticism that it was too easy for manufacturers to get an Energy Star label, and that some appliances had slipped through the system with less-than promised energy savings, the EPA today announced that it was tightening the Energy Star product certification process. The changes aim to ensure that only products that truly meet the Energy Star label requirements will receive the federal endorsement.

We are often hardest on those we like. It's because our disappointment is somehow greater when we've been conditioned to expect better.
Like when your once cuddly child becomes a teenager. Or your beloved hairdresser turns your hair green. Cognitive dissonance sets in, followed by betrayal, followed by disappointment (and in the case of the green hair, mortification.)
And so it was last year when I went to Lowe's for my usual spring garden supplies — a humble gallon of vinegar weed treatment, several bags of organic mulch, some greensand etc. I count on Lowe's to have these things. This time, though, I also was looking for a second rain barrel.

Who sells more Energy Star appliances than anyone?
Well, we don't know. Stores typically won't reveal their sales figures, which they consider to be proprietary.
But if Jeopardy asks, you might answer: Lowe's. The retail home improvement chain is being honored later this month for its longtime commitment to energy efficiency, particularly for its emphasis on selling ENERGY STAR appliances.

The modern consumer's penchant for buying the latest electronic gadget has certainly contributed mountains to landfills worldwide and led to other ecological sins, from chemical leaching to demand-driven, warp-speed obsolescence of products.
But the electronics industry once again showcased several eco-conscious items at the recent Consumer Electronics Association tradeshow. Aside from lower energy TVs, the newbie offerings foretell of a world where we will control the power we use, much like we control personal electronics now, but with more precision and far less waste.

Western Illinois Sweeps Crusaders; Boggio Becomes Valpo's All-Time Doubles Leader
Sunday, May 04, 2003Valparaiso, Ind. - Western Illinois staged comebacks in both games of a Mid-Continent Conference doubleheader and swept Valpo by scores of 10-5 and 8-4. Marc Boggio had two doubles in the first game to become Valpo's all-time doubles leader with 57. Sean Peickert had a big day at the plate with five hits, including a homer and two doubles.
Valpo (15-28-1, 4-8 Mid-Con) built a 5-0 lead in the first game, highlighted by a four-run second that featured four extra-base hits. Eddie Hannan led off with a triple and scored on Kevin Kutansky's RBI double. After a sacrifice fly by Eric Snyder, Boggio belted the 56th double of his career, tying Mark Pedersen for Valpo's all-time mark and producing the Crusaders' fourth run. Brandon Sadler followed with a RBI double.
Western Illinois (21-27, 7-5 Mid-Con) tied the game at 5-5 in the fifth with five runs - four of which were unearned. The Leathernecks took a 7-5 lead with two runs in the sixth on Clint Buchen's RBI double and Blake Schultz' RBI single. WIU added three runs in the eighth on RBI doubles by Schultz and Troy Shelby, and a RBI single by Ryan Schmidgall.
Boggio, a senior, eclipsed the school's all-time doubles mark in the fourth when he raced to second on a hit just inside the right field foul line. With 57 doubles, Boggio has an opportunity to extend the record as Valpo has at least 10 more scheduled games.
Valpo's Elliott Gibbs pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing one run and nine hits, while fanning four and walking four. Kyle Obenauf (3-2), who hurled 3 innings in relief, suffered the loss. James Kalinowski (1-5) was brilliant in 7 1/3 innings of relief, holding the Crusaders scoreless on four hits. He struck out five and walked one.
In the nightcap, Valpo had a 3-0 lead after scoring one in the first and two in the third. Peickert's RBI double plated Snyder in the first. Peickert led off the third with a solo blast to left field and Hannan's RBI groundout accounted for the third run.
The Leathernecks came back to tie the score with two runs in the fourth and one in the fifth - all with two outs. Joe Rooney's two-run double was the big hit in the fourth for WIU.
Hannan, who had three hits and two RBIs on the day, gave the Crusaders a 4-3 lead in the sixth with a RBI single to right, scoring pinchrunner Nick Mazzone.
Western Illinois mounted its third comeback of the afternoon with a five-run seventh. All of the runs in the inning were unearned as the Leathernecks benefited from two Crusader errors. Ryan Cougill and Schmidgall each delivered two-run singles during the rally.
Todd Evans turned in a solid outing for Valpo, pitching 6 innings and allowing three runs on six hits. He struck out four and walked two. Adam Paetznick (2-2) took the loss in relief, allowing four runs (no earned runs) and three hits in 1/3 of an inning.
Corey Ferger (2-1) picked up the win, hurling 6 innings of relief. Bucken pitched the final inning for WIU.
Valpo hosts Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Tuesday at 3 p.m. in the final home game this season at Emory G. Bauer Field.

Buying a brand-new smartphone can be costly. Instead, learn how to clean up your existing device so it works just like new.
Everyone wants to have the latest and greatest gadget, but tech items often come with hefty price tags. So, if you're looking for a new smartphone but don't want to pay $500 for one, sprucing up your existing phone can be the next best thing. Here's how.
First, clean up your hard drive. Photos, music and apps can eat up precious memory, causing your device to run slow.

Nissan Sentra oxygen sensor problem
in Nissan
Hi everyone thanks for helping me out. I have sentra 2002 SE-R, when the check engine ligtht came up few days ago. I took it into dealer for checking, they said it's my bank 1 oxygen sensor and ISC throttle chamber problems. I woulder if anyone have the same problem before? and if anyone knows what cause those problems. Also if there is a way of clean them.
I want to take them in, but after reading some forms about other owners took in to fix other similiar problems but still have the light came up few months later. So, I also wounder if it's worth to take in.
I want to take them in, but after reading some forms about other owners took in to fix other similiar problems but still have the light came up few months later. So, I also wounder if it's worth to take in.
There are 2 oxygen sensors in the bank 1. First one is important and if not fixed can cause major problems since it controls air-gasoline mix to the engine. It is located in the engine compartment.
If it is bank 1 sensor 2 then it is not critical at all. The only thing it does is the exhaust check for information purpose.
Double check with dealer which sensor it is. There are number of devices on a market (OBD II readers) which can read the code and reset it if needed.
I already have them look at, those were the two problems. The normal RPM during the beginning of cold engin is about 1500 RPM, but after the engin heat up, the RPM will back below 1000 RPM, like about 600 to 700 RPM. And my car run normally. so, is the RPM in the normal area or too high or low?
RPM looks in a good range. Try to replace sensor. You can do it yourself. It is very well accessible. You'll need special key. The sensor itself runs about $100. The key about $15. But you'll need to see if the problem is fixed and therefore you either need OBD reader or you'll have to pay dealer again to connect the reader and tell you what they see. :mad:
I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra SE,and had service engine light on for a few months,and took it to Nissan who told me Oxygen sensor ,Bank 1 Sensor 1 was bad ,so I purchased one from Auto Zone and installed it ,had light cut off but it came back on 2nd time I drove it,so I took it back,and Nissan told me it was still showing the same code ,so I took the sensor back out,and had AutoZone replace it as defective,then I installed with same result,now I have taken to independent repair shop who seems to think it may be ECM Board which had to be purchased thru Dealership ,yet dealership hasn't told me this needs to be replaced,and truth is ,I don't know what to do at this point in time,and car inspection is out now,and can't be inspected with service engine light on,can anybody help me with this situation ?
tetleytea Posts: 1Any update with the 20O1 sensor problem? I'm having pretty much exactly the same problem with my 2002 Sentra SE, and after visiting 3 dealerships I'm inclined to agree with the second dealership's opinion: it's the ECM.
The thing is, there was that recall on the ECM foam casing which you've probably already had performed, and the reason for the recall was, some acidic material in the foam casing could eat away at the ECM. Since we were never notified of the recall, it did not occur until the ECM was encased for 4 years. Quite likely, it's not until the ECM starts crapping out that people finally bring the car in to be serviced. They replace the foam and it's already too late.
One sad thing is, the ECM costs a good $500. I (and your mechanic) hate to spend $500 just on a hunch. What's more, I happen to be in the semiconductor business, and I know those microcontrollers don't cost anywhere near $500 to manufacture. Nissan is making quite a profit off of those parts. If they had notified us of the recall, it could have been done on time and we would not need new ECM's.
I know I'm a little late on this conversation but I have a question. When the ECM Board fails, does that cause the sensors to fail? I have my car at a dealership as we speak and I just spent $570 to fix the 02 sensor and have the system flushed...but now they are telling me it's the ECM Board that has failed (which will cost another $740 to fix) and that fails it causes the sensors to go out. Being a woman makes it that much harder to tell if a dealership is being honest or not.
Dealership kept telling me sensor was bad,so I purchased exact bosch sensor from local parts house and replaced it,then I took it back because light was still on,they again told me sensor was bad ,except the other upper sensor,so again I replaced it with correct sensor from parts house with same result,so this time I told dealership to keep my car until fixed,and they called me next day and said it was my emmissions computer at which time they told me that I had an 80,000 mile warranty on emmissons ,so it was covered under warranty since I had 78,000 miles on car.My question for you is this,first of all ,whats your mileage on your car ? If under 80,000 miles which is what I was told the emission warranty is,demand that they replace under warranty,if over 80k ,then I would ask them to show you which sensor is out ,there are 4 oxygen sensors on the sentra 1.8 engine,2 upper and 2 lower,it will more than likely be one or both of the upper sensors which you can purchase at Autozone for about 115.00 ea.,make sure you ask for the one with the factory plug on it,and ask the guy at autozone if he can take it off for you ,he may or he may not be willing to do this for you, if not they rent the special tool to remove it with,it takes about 5 minutes to remove and replace right on the front of the engine,ask the autozone sales person to point the sensor out to you on the very front of the engine ,and if he won't take it off and put the new one on ,then ask a male friend or family member to unscrew it with the tool from autozone (screws on and off just like a spark plug ,only it has wires coming out of it with plug on other end).If after replacing and driving about 50 miles your check engine light is still on ,take back to dealership and tell them that sensors have been replaced and light is still on and demand that they check it again.You have to drive the 50 miles or so before computer will reset and turn the light off.Hopefully ,you are not over 80k miles on your car and dealership will cover under emission warranty,if not you and a male friend (it takes a little strength to get the sensor to break free)can do the replacement and save you probably 400.00 or so that the dealership would charge in labor to replace 2 upper sensors.I am really sorry that the dealerships try to take advantage of anybody that it can(especially women),and also they have an ongoing problem with their computer and their sensors as well,though they will not admit it.Good luck,I hope this helps you,let me know how it turns out. Andy F.
Thanks Andy F. for the input. I had the bad 02 sensor replaced already so I know that's not the problem anymore but my car has 110,000 miles on it so I guess I'm going to have to just pay for the ECM Board to be replaced. The good thing is that I got the dealership to give me the ECM board at their cost and they aren't going to charge me labor to install it. It will still cost me $500 but at least they gave me a break on the labor since I do have so many miles on my car. Thanks again!
kdenio Posts: 1My side mirrors (plastic) on my 2001 Sentra look awful. (Cappuccino color) Other wise the car has been a gem mechanically, a few miles under 100,000. After a good wax, the spotchy mirrors stand our like a sore thumb. Were the Nissan engineers smokin' crack when they put these on? Can these be re-furbished of sorts? I've checked E-bay and a few other sites for replacements - none. Any ideas or feedback?
bobnissan Posts: 1I certainly agree because I have this same problem.
Nissan dealer replaced the bad foam after I found out about the recall: 5 years after the purchase of the new vehicle.
Let's make Nissan pay for that: Nissan is required by federal law to inform every Nissan Owner about any recalls during normal service. If dealership forgets about it Nissan may pay heavy fines imposed by National Highway Safety Administration.
rattled1 Posts: 1recently mt service engine soon light came on i had the codes checkedby my mechanic p0171 and p0174 . after replacing both sensors, he turned mt light off . a couple days later it came back on. now when im driving my car my stereo lights start flashing and my battery dicharges . ill let it sit fr a few hours and it will start up and run fine fr a few days . then it will cut out again .my question is can a bad ecm cause this problem. it seem to happen m0ore on hot days. 2000 nissan sentra owner 81000 thousand miles
txn_egl_sct Posts: 20As simple as most 02 sensors are to change I typically recommend that people just spend the $10(US) on the socket wrench adapter for them.
All you typically need is:
1) A large socket wrench (1/2" drive)
2) An extension 10-12" for socket wrench
3) anti-sieze for the threads on the sensor. (Only apply to the threads. The sensor will not like this of it gets on the sensor end itself.)

auff1 Posts: 1I have a 2002 Sentra which has a reoccurring error code P057 translates to Bank 2 Sensor 2 Heater element low. This was first diagnosed at around 40,000 miles. I replaced the O2 sensor and cleared the code seamed to be fixed. After about a month error code came back. So I replaced the O2 Sensor again. Again it lasted for about a month before the error code came back. At this point knowing that this would not affect performance I decided to forgo replacing it again. Now at 115,000 Miles I needed to get the emissions inspection done and returned to the dealer to have the error code checked out. They informed me that the cat and O2 Sensor needed to replace. So I decided to let them do it costing me over $1,300. Got the emissions inspection done 3 days later and that evening the error code reappeared. Returned to the dealer and now they tell me the ECM is defective. Which I suspected all along. So here I am good for 2 years on the inspection and still have the error code. Not sure what I will do in 2 years maybe trade it in or spend more money to replace the ECM. Any body know of a cheap ECM for a 2002 Sentra GXE 1.8L?
spikeruhl Posts: 1Car seems to run rough but only sometimes. After car is run for longer than 15 or 20 minutes seems to be fine. I've already replaced both oxygen sensors,car has 120,000 miles on it . Does anyone have an idea to what else might be wrong.After replacing both oxygen sensors seemed to be OK for approx. 2 weeks.Any help would be greatly appreciated......Thanks
Hi. I just recently purchased a "01" nissan sentra and it recently started actin up as in hesitating to stall. Eventually it got a lil worse and so on. My "check engine soon" light is on and itll stall as im at a red light or in "park" idling. if i quick throw it in "N" it wont hesitate to stall. I purchased an OBD decoder to clear the warnin signal. but this did not fix the problem. I did read the codes and only one come up sayng "O2 circuit sensors - bank 2 sensor 2- no activity". I take this that the sensor in that location is no good and not reading with the cars ECM. I plan to replace this sensor myself and save me some bux and headache from a mechaninc tryin to swindle me possibly. My question is.... Where are these O2 sensors the decoder is talking about? Where is Bank 1 & 2 - Sensor 1 & 2. To me it sounds like 4 sensors all together... 2 rows (banks). I found a location behind the radiator, in front of the engine by the dip stick with 4 what looks like spark plugs but i think they are sensors. 2 on top (right to left) 2 below them (right to left) are these the 2 banks and if so... does 1 & 2 run left to right, eg. sensor 1 (left) sensor 2 (right) ... bank 1 (top row) bank 2 (bottom row). Please help?
hey, save all those problem first, if you have the machine to check, see if one of ur cylender has mis fire going on. I had that problem after I had a big rebuild engin. and it was having the same problem like you said, and guess what thsoe dealer want to do? they want to reserve my engin and charge me again, but after I took to my friend's shop, then he found out is one of the cylender has mis fire problem, and when he check the spark plug, the head was bend. After he bend it back, the problem was gone.. So, have ur guy check if one of ur spark pulg has bended. that will need an experienced guy to see, because just by half inch, the engin can still stall.
That, my friend, save me another thousand dollar there.
good luck
thanks for the info. After reading up Alot was saying to check hoses for cracks or loose conections and probe plugs to see if any current would be flowin through, I discovered a hose connecting from throttle to engine where the clamp was in the wrong position and not keeping it secure. so i moved it up to where it should be and now it doesnt slide any more. I noticed that the car hesitates but doesnt stall. The "check engine soon came back on after clearing it . Im going to check for more simple lil things like that but Im thinking the sensor still needs to be replaced. Im still unsure of its location, at least not 100% that is, just an idea. still need a hint to where its/theyre located (see my original messege). Thanks for that tip. that will also be checked out if all else fails before i go to spend 100s maybe thousands on the lil stinker, hehe
