Special to The Star
I remember like it was yesterday, watching the moving truck drive off after our furniture was unloaded at our little rental house in Golden Springs in 1985. My family had moved to Anniston and soon after, we joined the First United Methodist Church on Noble Street.
My little brother, Seth, and I joined the Crusader Choir and our mother sang in the Chancel Choir then led by James P. Roberts, better known as Jimmy.
I can't think of growing up in that beautiful church without thinking about Jimmy playing "Name that Tune" with us when we were in Crusader Choir; if we got the song right, we'd get a dollar. I remember listening to him play anything from "Take me Out to the Ballgame" after the Children's Minute to Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus."
If you have ever been to FUMC, you know exactly what I am talking about.
The organ is a force in that sanctuary. The music bounces off the slate flooring.
The organ plays familiar hymns we love to sing and amazing preludes that fill the air on Sunday mornings. It can bring a tear to one's eye and even bring you closer to God during your time of worship.
The church started humbly in 1881. The current church at 14th and Noble was built in 1955 to replace the previous church used from 1893 -1955. A little-known fun fact is the pipe organ in the sanctuary is the exact same type of organ as the one at the Old North Church in Boston's North End famous for the location Paul Revere used on April 18, 1775, to signal "one if by land, and two if by sea."
The organ was built by Schlicker Organ Co., of Buffalo, N.Y. Mr. Schlicker took some pipes from the Kimball organ in the church's previous sanctuary to their factory in Buffalo. The old pipes were completely rebuilt and voiced and then incorporated into the present instrument. It took 20 men three months to build it.
There are four complete divisions on the organ. The Great and Swell divisions are located on the right side of the Chancel and the Choir and Pedal divisions to the left. These pipes range in size from 16 feet in length to three-eighths of an inch. The total number of pipes in the organ is 3,037 and there are 47 ranks of pipes.
The organ is voiced on low wind pressure which was employed during the 17th and 18th centuries, but since then has become a lost art. Because the Schlicker Co., began the return of this type of voicing, it has achieved international prominence throughout the Western world.
In all the years we have enjoyed it, although it needs it, this beautiful instrument has never been restored and would cost a million dollars to replace.
In April, the organ restoration will begin.
In 1985, I sang my first solo in the church to Jimmy playing that organ.
At 6 p.m. on March 16, I walked down the aisle on the arm of the man I have loved and adored all my life to "Here Comes the Bride," and at 6:20 p.m., I recessed down the aisle on the arm of another man I will love and adore the rest of my life to the "Wedding Recessional".
This special day in my life, like so many other brides from our congregation, was all centered around Jimmy Roberts and that gorgeous organ.
If you have ever experienced the organ and want to preserve something historical that has touched so many lives in a spiritual way, visit our Facebook page at FUMC Anniston Organ Fund, and see how you can help.
Shea Snider Miller is a member Anniston First United Methodist Church and lives in Washington, D.C.

Asparagus-Spinach Pesto Pasta with Blackened Shrimp
I probably should have poured a nice stiff drink recipe for you all on this loveliest of lovely tax days. Especially for my fellow small business owners who just gave half of their revenue back to the government. Good grief, I won't even go there.
Instead though, I thought I'd offer my idea of a more comforting alternative.
When life is good, and when life gets crazy, I turn to pasta. And this pasta recipe is one of my all-time favs. I actually posted it on the blog about 4 years ago when I was a brand-spankin' new blogger, and my photos were a lovely shade of neon. (Although the vivid green of the this pesto is arguably neon in real life!) But I'm trying to get in the habit of snapping new photos whenever I cook a really old blog recipe nowadays. And when I was feeling a little "green" after writing some ridiculously huge checks this week, I thought it only appropriate to celebrate with a wonderfully green and seasonal pasta.
And just as it has for years, this one hit the spot.

Medieval Mystery: Who is The Master of the Embroidered Foliage?
The 15th-century Netherlandish painter known only as The Master of the Embroidered Foliage is best recognized for his panel paintings of the Virgin and Child. The virtually identical compositions depict Mary in voluminous robes, seated on a throne while the Christ child in her arms leafs through an illustrated manuscript. The backgrounds of these detailed panels vary greatly from landscape to city streets. All are rich in palette and pattern and are finely painted with great detail. This exhibition brings together for the first time four of these works from public and private collections in the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and France, including the painting from the Clark Art Institute's collection. An innovative presentation encourages visitors to participate in solving the mysteries of this artist. The exhibition has been organized by the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in association with the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, under the auspices of FRAME (French Regional and American Museum Exchange).

The Oklahoman
NEW YORK - New York business leaders were encouraged to "discover the global and economic momentum in Oklahoma" Tuesday evening during a reception at the 21 Club in New York by the Oklahoma Fast Forward Team.
Natalie Shirley of the state Commerce Department told guests Oklahoma provides opportunities for investors in industries designed for the future. The event was hosted by the Oklahoma Governor's Economic Team and the Oklahoma Business Roundtable along with the Commerce Department.New York guests were presented with "John Steinbeck Was Wrong about Oklahoma," a 31-page booklet by Oklahoma historian Bob Burke on the state's list of entrepreneurs, inventors, innovators, entertainers, business leaders and political leaders over the past century.
"Oklahomans were nothing like the families that Steinbeck portrayed as idealess, shiftless, hick tenant farmers in 'The Grapes of Wrath' in 1939," Burke wrote. In contrast, he pointed out the inventions and achievements of Oklahomans, ranging from S.N. Goldman's shopping cart and Carl Magee's parking meter to astronauts Tom Stafford and John Herrington.
Burk pointed out Dr. Jordan Tang and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation discovered the enzyme responsible for Alzheimer's disease.
Burke included the inventions of the aerosol can and plastic by Phillips Petroleum scientists in Bartlesville.
Entertainers from Oklahoma also were featured by Burke, ranging from Will Rogers to Dale Robertson, James Garner and Megan Mullally to Kristin Chenoweth, Van Heflin, Shirley Jones, Brad Pitt and Chuck Norris.
He listed performers Woodie Guthrie, Reba MacEntire, Garth Brooks and Carrie Underwood.

Best food in town
Food is amazing. Every time I come here, I feel like I never want to leave. Very chic atmosphere with a relaxing mood.
The service is great and the staff really does a terrific job at taking care of you.
The appetizers are delicious.
Theres plenty of places to park: theres a parking lot across the street and a parkin garage up the street within walking distance.
Most of the time I find myself looking at my watch waiting for the food to come, but here I was so entertained with the fun atmosphere that I was pleasantly surprised when my food arrived
Fresh, inexpensive sushi – One of my favorite sushi places. The food is always fresh and the staff in incredibly nice. Prices are extremely reasonable. The place is pretty small, so reservations are recommended.
Poor man's Matsuhisa – Hirozen is my friendly neighborhood sushi place. The bonus is, aside from being close to my house, the place is just a foodie's dream. The fish is fresh, the recipes are unique, and the service is always pleasant. Usually I get seated right away at the sushi bar if I go on my own, and even on a busy Friday night with friends I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes to get a table. The sushi chefs are very friendly and always willing to explain a little more about the food. I got a fresh wasabi tutorial the other day! I eat at this restaurant mostly for the nigiri which is delicately prepared by the sushi chefs, but the other food is unique and tasty, too. It helps to get a seat at the sushi bar so you can watch. I love the spanish mackerel (aji), but my favorite by far is the fresh scallop with just a tiny bit of salt and lemon. It's like butter!! If you go in the afternoon for lunch it's helpful to get the chef's choice which is 3 pieces of selected nigiri that you may not have tried otherwise. It's $8. For lunch I usually get out of there spending about $35 including dessert. Needless to say, I can't go all the time, but it's a great treat and worth the little extra in my opinion because of the quality. And I always love to finish off a meal with a cool dollop of their freshly made coconut tapioca. I've done the omakase several times (will run you about $55 with soup, appetizers, nigiri and dessert) and it leaves me very full. My brother and I went (he eats a lot more than me) and he seemed more than satisfied, especially with the quality of the food and the experience in general. I love Hirozen. I would recommend it to anyone! And by the way, try the clam soup. It's delicious!!
like, most excellent RYORIYA (not a sushi bar, people) – given the price point, this is a superb RYORIYA, and i (who am japanese by the way) highly recommend it. for those of you not in the know, a ryoriya is a japanese restaurant that features a wide variety of dishes created in the classic japanese manner to showcase the very best available produce, proteins and ingredients.
most of you should know that hirozen is NOT a sushi restaurant! if all you want is sushi, you should go to a restaurant that serves MAINLY sushi. at hirozen, sushi is among MANY featured items.
so, if you want to try and then review this place, make sure you try the featured fresh fish and meat dishes, the 2 or 3 featured seaweed salads (e.g., hijiki) and a few of the vegetable and other dishes.
hirozen isn't holding itself out as a competitor of matsuhisa or sushi roku and the like. therefore, you shouldn't judge it by those standards. trust me, the chefs here know what they are doing, and they certainly know more about food than the hakujin who frequent the place and are writing about it obtusely and out of limited exposure to japanese cuisine.
honestly and with all due respect, after reading some of the comments on here of people judging this restaurant by the standards of a sushi restaurant, i thought it appropriate to point this out. if i want a sushi dinner, i go to a reknowned sushi restaurant. if i want SUPERB and AUTHENTIC japanese food made by japanese people, where i can have a bit of sushi if i want, i will always choose hirozen.
Best sushi for the prices! – We absolutely love this spot and eat here at least twice a week. The spicy tuna hand roll is unbelievable! The prices are amazing considering the freshness and portions. Japanese chefs who know what they're doing without the high prices like Matsuhisa and Nozawa. Highly recommended!
Not Fresh Fish!! – I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants in Los Angeles and this was by far the worst experience. We were served fish that smelled so strongly of fish that it must have been way old (i eat a lot of sushi and know what's normal). When we sent the sushi back and the check came, they actually charged us for the sushi that was bad (only 2 orders out of a whole meal). When we explained the fish was bad and we didn't think we had to pay for it, they told us that we had eaten it so we had to pay!! It was absolutely horrible and unprofessional. I will never go back there and have told all my friends about the unfresh fish. They could make people sick!! Beware of this one!
One of my favorite sushi places in L.A. – I love this place!!! It's very tiny and usually extremely busy, but for a good reason...the food is amazing. Hirozen has some of the freshest, tastiest sushi in town. Everything is always beautifully presented and the service is warm, friendly, and professional. I try to have something different every time I go and I'm always beyond pleased with what I am served.
Great food but sushi is average. – First I need to warn everyone is that this place is a little cramped. The party next to you are so close to y our table, from the outside people will think you are in the same party. First time I went there, I ordered the bento boxes and some appetizers. I was amazed how good the food was. The second time I went there I sat at the sushi bar and went with omakase. My girlfriend and I were quite disappointed with their sushi. It's neither good or bad, just average. If you are going there I suggest ordering anything but their sashimi or sushi.
Amazing sushi – This place is amazing. They seem to always have the freshest fish and great service to match. I recommend sitting at the bar and letting the sushi chef pick your dishes. I've tried a bunch of things I would never have thought to order (Tasmanian Sea Trout, seared sea scallop, octopus) and they were all great. I almost didnt write this review because I'm afraid the word will get out about this place and it will impossible to get a table but they deserve the kudos.
Very good, fresh sushi – great sushi at reasonable prices. consistently fresh. friendly (but sometimes a little slow) service.

Kimi: So hard to overtake in Singapore
Lotus Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen is hoping to improve on Sunday's sixth place finish at the Singapore Grand Prix when the season shifts to Japan.
The Japanese Grand Prix will beign in a fortnight's time at Suzuka.
Lotus F1:
Kimi Raikkonen: "After the result in qualifying today's [Sunday] race was not too bad, but I think we had a chance to do a bit better. We weren't quick enough to be fighting for the podium but the first safety car didn't help us and maybe we could have gained an extra place without that. We were definitely faster than Michael [Schumacher] and Nico [Rosberg] but we ended up stuck behind them for most of the race which was frustrating.
"It's so hard to overtake here that you have to rely on passing people in the pit stops or on someone making a mistake. I'm still third in the Drivers' Championship but we've got some improvements to make for the next races to be fighting with the cars in front. Hopefully we can make a step forward in Japan and take it from there."
Nico Rosberg: "Everything worked out well for me this evening for the first time in what feels like a long time! Finishing in fifth place having started in 10th is a pretty decent result and I'm happy to have picked up some good points for myself and the team. It's also nice to have stayed ahead of the two Lotus cars which I didn't expect before the race. Saving a fresh set of tyres in qualifying yesterday proved to be the right strategy as I had a good start and a strong first stint. Thanks to the team for that and for making the right calls in the race today [Sunday]. Now I'm looking forward to Japan and the opportunity to improve our new package further."
Michael Schumacher: "It was obviously a very unfortunate ending to my race this evening when I ran into the car of Vergne who accepted my apology straight afterwards. I am not totally sure why it happened like this; I was braking but the deceleration was not as strong as it usually would be, and I could not avoid running into the car in front of me. We have to find out what has happened. Up until then, I think it would have been possible to get some points this evening."
Toro Rosso:
Daniel Ricciardo: "It's great to be back in the points again and it shows we have had a really good start to the second half of the season since the summer break. Even if we haven't always picked up the points, we have been fighting for them in the last few races. I am pleased about that. We benefited a bit from the Safety Car, but afterwards we had to fight off the guys behind us, so I am really happy with ninth place and I enjoyed having a fight with Mark (Webber) towards the end, even if I could not hold off Massa just before that. In the closing stages, I didn't look in the mirrors too much, but I just focussed on maintaining my lap times all the way to the flag."
Jean-Eric Vergne: "Our strategy worked very well and the Safety Car also played out in our favour. My pace was very good, lapping as quickly as the front runners, so it was much better than we had expected. Overall, I am very happy with the way this weekend went, because I personally made a lot of progress from Friday through to tonight [Sunday].
"The team also worked very well to improve the car throughout the three days. It's just a shame it did not end with the points for eighth or maybe even seventh place. As for the accident, I was focussing on catching Perez at that point, trying to brake late to catch him, so I am not too sure what happened exactly, but I assume Michael braked a bit too late and could not avoid running in to me. There is no sense in being angry about it, because these things happen in racing and even the most experienced driver on the grid can make mistakes! He said sorry and that's the end of it."
Sergio Perez: "For us this obviously was a difficult weekend. We were struggling a lot and we never had the pace. We tried everything, including split race strategies, but in the end points were not within reach today [Sunday]. I had some good battles but it was too difficult for me to overtake. We have to improve for the next race in Suzuka and I'm sure we will."
Kamui Kobayashi: "I had a bad start with a lot of wheelspin and then for a long time my race was eventless. I haven't been in a position to attack and I didn't have the pace to do so. After the second safety car deployment I couldn't avoid touching Nico Hulkenberg. There was no space to go. For me it was a race incident. Nico said sorry when we met after the race; apparently he had oversteer. I lost my front wing and had to pit. However, this wasn't a good weekend for us but I have complete confidence we will come back strong at the Japanese Grand Prix."

Raging bush fires in Australia last Saturday completely destroyed two conference centers, The Cumberland Marylands and the Marylands Country House, located in the Yarra Valley northeast of Melbourne. No one in the centers was injured, but the staffs of both of these conference centers, which are members of the International Association of Conference Centers, lost everything—their homes, their jobs, their community—as the fire razed 90 percent of the town of Marysville.
To help those employees, IACC has set up a disaster relief fund. The association donated $5,000 to seed the fund and is seeking contributions from around the world. A letter to members from Tom Bolman, executive vice president, IACC Global, and Neil Pompan, president, IACC Global, stated that "every penny collected will go to the employees of the two properties to help them through this crisis."
More than 30 IACC members have already contributed at least $100 each to the cause. Members and interested parties can contribute between now and February 28, 2009, when all proceeds from the fund will be sent to the employees. To contribute, download this PDF form.

Great footage, i love the suite.
Here is another great performance! It looks too good to be an audience recording, but not good enough to be professional. There are different angles so it must be a poor quality professional recording. What do you guys think? Does anyone have any information on this performance? Thanks.
Hopefully this link works, I screwed up the last one on "Hurt"
great footage
the best footage i have seen of 1971
I'd like to go to Graceland
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!!!
Nathan Belt
I'm pretty sure that is 8mm footage, but it is pretty clear.
Thanks for sharing...
Would this not be in Las Vegas? Seems too close to be the Astrodome.

Redmond >Food & Dining > Sichuanese Cuisine
15005 NE 24TH St, Redmond, WA | Directions 9805247.631521 -122.140367
Mon - Fri, 11am - 10pm; Sat, Sun, 11:30am - 10pm
Neighborhoods: Overlake
Best Hot Pot – This place is the best!! The service is always great, even when they are packed (and they always are), they have enough staff that you never feel like they forgot about you. The food is down right amazing and this is the best Hot Pot I have ever had, and I have sampled most of what Seattle has to offer. This is our favorite place to eat. Its simple reasonably priced and great food and service - what more can you ask for! For a great dinner ask the server to pick you a meal - you will get to try some delicious food that you may not have ordered your self - if I could give this place 10 stars I would!!
Sichuanese Cuisine – Whether it's lunch or dinner, this restaurant is always busy. Look around and you will see every nationality in the area well represented. What draws such a diverse crowd?..... The food, the mouth watering, spicy, authentic, delicious food. My favorite item on the menu is the hot beef chow mein with the toothy handmade noodles stir fried with a spicy sauce, liberally sprinkled with garlic, chilis, cilantro and tender succulent beef. I also love the steamed dumplings and the green beans. The hot pot is a fun experience for a family or a group of friends.
Don't expect white table cloths and artful decor, expect excellent food, capable service all at a reasonable price. Lunches $6.75 to $8.00 for a generous plateful, rice and cup of soup, dinner dishes between $7-$12
Horrible Service, Average food and get discriminated!!! – So what happened was we were in line for a table on Tuesday the 19th of August and there was one american group infront of us and they asked if there was a party of 2 when the table was for 3 people since it had 3 chairs and took in a chinese couple before us even though we were before them and then behind us was another chinese couple who talked to the waiter in chinese and she literally just cut us is line as the waiter seated her at a table!! i was shocked since we had been waiting for a half an hour and they take the people behind us!! And discrimination my gooodnesss. I would never go there again if my life depened on it due to all the disrimination I gottt!! So it's not like their food is extraordinarly amazing that you should suffer through this discrimination just for food! I mean for heavans sake your paying for it!rude staff!!!- Act like they didn't see you!
best chinese food available. period. – Sichuanese Cuisine has become a staple for my friends and I since we were introduced to it about 3 years ago, and we go as often as we can now. It's best to order family style and share with everyone, because there are so many fantastic dishes, each bringing their own incredible flavor. The standards for us are:
Hot Chicken (sichuan style) which is just spicy enough to not quite get you sweating, but brings plenty of flavor;
Mandarin Fish (one of the more 'americanized' dishes offered, but with a great flavor);
Sichuanese Boiled Fish, not for the faint of heart. Large chunks of white fish and cabbage smothered in chili oil, ground peppers and garlic. This over a bed of rice and you are good to go;
Dried Cook String beans, spicy green beans, always a fan favorite when we go;
Dried Cook Pork, discovered by accident when a fellow patron ordered it by accident has now become one of our favorite dishes. There are so many great dishes, but these are the most commonly requested when we go. We typically go with a group of 6 -8, but have had as many as 26 and have always been warmly accommodated. The service has always been top notch, with the owner and her son making sure that everyone is well taken care of. The great service and the amazing food keep us going back at least once a month, with some streaks of once a week in there over the last 3 years.
MY FAVORITE!! – I usually don't eat so spicy, but this food is definitely worth the pain. It is so delicious, fresh, tasty, and has a homemade feel. I'm not Chinese, and my family is often the only white table, but I would recommend it for anyone of course. The dumplings are a must, the garlic chicken, moo shu, kung pao, mandarin spicy chicken, eggplant, and special hot beef chow mien are some of my favorites. This is the kind of restaurant you become loyal to pretty quickly. It's become comfort food for us.The prices are very good for the large portions. The service is authentic also, in that they don't really check on you and you have to flag people down when you want something. I personally don't mind this, since I think the American custom of interrupting people when they are chewing is atrocious. And the food is worth it!!
Genuine Chinese Food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – I am a Sichuanese and come to US in 2006! I reallly like the food there. You can find many genuine chinese foods there, $12-15 is enough for one person, even $ 8 is enough for noodles or something alike. Highly recommended, especially for Chinese.
Best Sichuan food in N. America!! – If you have been to Sichuan and loved the food, you will know that this is the real deal, and you have found a way to satisfy that craving without traveling half-way around the world. It is NOT Americanized so expect very pungent chillis, numbing sichuan peppercorns, lip puckering pickled peppers and other very strong characteristic flavors. My Chinese husband and I have eaten in Sichuan restaurants in many cities in the US and Canada, and this one outshines anything in North America and compares with the best in China, for home-style Sichuanese cooking. Yes, it's crowded, loud, hot in the summer, and lacking dim lights and candles, but so what! The crowds of Chinese who flock here do so for good reason.
Good food, but has too much oil – The food in Sichuanese is great. The restaurant services is fast and excellent. The food is great, however if you are conscious about the oil content - avoid this place. I've heard that
their hotpot service is good.
Simply the best Sichuan food in Seattle/Bellevue. – My Chinese wife and I have been eating at Sichuanese Cuisine, both here and the one in Seattle since 1996. It is still the best.
This is the real China. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Anyone who does not agree does not know what good Sichuanese food is. Maybe you should try China First.
Great food, great prices, great service – For an incredible experience, go on a cold weekend day during the winter and observe what people are eating. Order that. It is called "hot-pot," and is served for two or more. 1/2 spicy broth, 1/2 clear broth. You cook the raw meat, tofu, cabbage and noodles, and mix this with a dab of peanut sauce, or (if you are brave) a dollop of chilis soaked in oil. This is my most favorite meal in the world. If you order it during the summer, they will make it, but you may get a little finger-wagging (if they know you), since this contradicts tradition.

I've been meaning to take a gander at the new MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Creams ($22 – 6g) for a while now, and finally got around to it. Boy, am I glad I did! They look like juicy pieces of candy melted down into a creamy, smooth, vibrant sip of cosmetic juice. Yea, seriously. I picked up five for now, but I'm definitely going back for more. When I checked my tracking number on UPS, I squealed with excitement knowing my gorgeous brown box was at home waiting for me Check it out…

While the Republican primary has turned into a right wing circus likely to produce another extreme candidate like Todd Akin, Michelle Nunn brings to this race the experience of a CEO, a career devoted to service, and deep working relationships with the Bush family and many Republicans in Georgia going back generations.
Senator Daniel Inouye honorably and courageously served his state and his country for decades in the military and in the US Senate. Following his passing late last year, Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie appointed Lt. Governor Brian Schatz to serve in Senator Inouye's seat until the special election is held in 2014. Hawaii is one of the most Democratic states in the country.
Senator Dick Durbin has been a strong voice advocating for Illinois' working families. As the Assistant Majority Leader, Senator Durbin has been a leader in America's economic recovery, the effort to make health care more affordable and accessible, and protect consumers in Illinois and across the country. A close ally of President Obama, Senator Durbin is helping lead efforts to pass the DREAM Act, save students from debt, protect the Great Lakes, invest in infrastructure and build bipartisan consensus to solve the nation's fiscal challenges.
Senator Tom Harkin announced he will retire from the Senate at the end of his term in 2014 after a career fighting for Iowa families and farmers. Iowa has a strong record of electing great Democrats and the DSCC is confident that we will elect Congressman Bruce Braley to Senator Harkin's seat next November. Congressman Braley has repeatedly proven himself to be a fighter for middle-class families will continue Senator Harkin's legacy of always putting Iowa first.
Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes recently announced she will challenge Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. In Grimes' 2011 campaign to become Secretary of State, she won 60% of the vote statewide. Thousands of Kentuckians attended Grimes' official campaign kickoff, in July and enthusiasm for defeating McConnell is off the charts. Three recent public polls have shown Grimes leading McConnell.
Senator Mary Landrieu has spent her career serving Louisiana as a centrist, pragmatic leader in Washington who will do whatever is in the best interests of the people of her state.
Republican Senator Susan Collins faces reelection in a state that has turned increasingly Democratic in recent years. President Obama carried Maine overwhelmingly in 2008 and again in 2012. Shenna Bellows, the former head of the Maine ACLU, has spent her career fighting for the people of Maine. Bellows is an energetic leader who has fought for women's rights, civil rights, individual freedoms, environmental protections, and an economy that works for everyone. The daughter of a carpenter, Bellows has centered her campaign around middle class values, work ethic, and political courage.
Senator Ed Markey was sworn into the Senate on July 16th following his decisive victory in the June special election. Democrats took nothing for granted in this special election and were committed from the beginning on the local and national level to holding this seat. In the House, Markey spent his career fighting for middle class families and working people and as a national leader on environmental issues.
After a long career as a distinguished leader for Michigan and on behalf of our men and women in uniform, Senator Carl Levin announced he will retire from the Senate at the end of his term in 2014. Democrats and the DSCC are confident we will elect Congressman Gary Peters to continue Senator Levin's legacy as a champion for Michigan's working families and standing up to special interests. Congressman Peters, a veteran of the Navy reserves, who volunteered to serve his country after 9/11, has fought to help small businesses and Michigan's middle class.
Senator Al Franken has spent his first term working in a bipartisan way to improve the lives of Minnesota families. He quickly built a reputation in Washington as a hardworking, effective legislator who is willing to work with anyone to deliver for his state. He has been a champion for veterans, health care reform, and Minnesota's small businesses and middle class. Republicans will try to challenge Senator Franken, but polls show him well-positioned for reelection.
Mississippi is the latest pick-up opportunity for Democrats in a deep-red state. Former Congressman Travis Childers recently announced he would run for the U.S. Senate. Childers has a record of winning over conservative voters. In fact, the seat he held in Mississippi was actually more conservative than the state as a whole. Childers' candidacy is already drawing comparisons to Joe Donnelly's 2012 victory over Richard Mourdock in Indiana.
After nearly 35 years of service to the people of Montana, Senator Max Baucus announced he will retire at the end of his term in 2014. President Obama then announced he will nominate Senator Max Baucus as ambassador to China. Following Baucus' confirmation, Governor Steve Bullock will nominate a new Senator to fill the vacancy who can then run for a full term with an election next November.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen has a strong record of fighting for New Hampshire's middle class and small businesses throughout her career, as the first woman to serve both as Governor and now as US Senator. Her bipartisan work on energy initiatives and her commitment to fiscal responsibility will make her a particularly strong candidate in a state like New Hampshire, which has trended Democratic in recent cycles.
Senator Cory Booker decisively defeated his Republican opponent in the October special election for the late Senator Frank Lautenberg's seat. As the Mayor of Newark, Booker has shown dedication and commitment to bringing people together and will do the same for all New Jerseyans in the U.S. Senate
. In the Senate, Booker will have an incredible opportunity not only to serve his constituents and the country, but also to help Democrats across the country defeat the Ted Cruz loyalists who are running for the U.S. Senate.
Senator Tom Udall has spent his career fighting for New Mexico's middle class and his record as a distinguished, principled leader will make it tough for Republicans to mount a challenge against him. Senator Udall won in 2008 with more than 60 percent of the vote, and New Mexico has become more reliably Democratic in recent years, electing a new Democratic Senator, Martin Heinrich, and overwhelmingly voting for President Obama in 2012.
Senator Kay Hagan defeated Senator Elizabeth Dole with 53% of the vote in 2008. Since then, Senator Hagan has been a fierce advocate for North Carolina families, our military and veterans, sound fiscal policy and quality education. Hailing from a proud military family, Senator Hagan fought to make sure that America's service members and veterans never fall victim to the partisanship in Washington.
The first in his family to go to college, Senator Jeff Merkley has spent his entire career fighting for Oregon's working families. Since defeating an incumbent Republican senator in 2008, Senator Merkley has become a leader in efforts to protect consumers, increase access to health care, and ensure Oregon's economy is growing and creating good-paying jobs. Senator Merkley has also helped lead the effort to reform the filibuster and stop Republican obstructionism. Oregon has become increasingly Democratic and supported President Obama by double digits in both 2008 and again in 2012.
Senator Jack Reed is a strong voice for Rhode Island's middle class families. A senior member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, Senator Reed helped author the Wall Street Reform bill, protecting consumers and helping families struggling from the housing crisis. In 2008, Senator Reed was reelected by 46 points and President Obama carried the state in 2012 by almost 30 points.
Senator Tim Johnson recently announced his decision to retire from the Senate at the end of his term in 2014. Senator Johnson has been a strong advocate for South Dakotans and America's farm families. Democrats and the DSCC are committed to holding Senator Johnson's seat next year and will devote all of the resources necessary to elect a new Democratic senator in South Dakota. Recent polls have shown that Democrats are in a strong position to hold the seat. This is another state where a likely divisive Republican primary could force the eventual nominee to the far right.
After winning his seat by 31 points in 2008, Senator Mark Warner has delivered on his promise to work toward bipartisan solutions in the US Senate. Senator Warner has been a leader in the effort to build bipartisan consensus to reduce the federal debt and has also been a fighter for small businesses, veterans, and military men and women. Senator Warner is one of the most popular leaders in all of Virginia, where voters elected former Democratic Governor Tim Kaine to the Senate in 2012 and once again voted for President Obama.
After more than a generation of service to West Virginia, Senator Jay Rockefeller announced he will retire from the Senate at the end of his term. West Virginia has a long history of electing strong, independent-minded Democrats and the DSCC is confident Secretary of State Natalie Tennant will hold Senator Rockefeller's seat next November.

They come to class with full backpacks and blank, Tuesday-morning faces that tell you all you need to know about being a college freshman halfway through the fall semester.
Midterm grades have been delivered, the newness of college has rubbed off and a realization is dawning that this promise of the best four years of your life may, in fact, have been a tad overstated. Left out of the description were the parts about loneliness, crushing doubt and hard, hard work.
So on this cold, rainy sleep-in day, the Creighton kids trudge into Room 211-C.
Waiting for them are homemade chocolate chip cookies, a charismatic adviser and 50 minutes of light discussion about their trip to a haunted jail. They also are served a slideshow on the best places on campus to study (Java Jay for background noise; Law Library for comfy chairs).
Welcome to Ratio Studiorum. It may sound like a Harry Potter spell, but it is a graded, one-credit, mandatory course for Creighton freshmen.
It is also part of a hands-on advising approach Creighton and other higher-�ed institutions have been adopting to make sure freshmen stick with school — and are successful.
This is measured in retention: the portion of freshmen students who return next year as sophomores. Retention figures are marketed along with pretty campuses, good sports teams and flashy buildings as part of the college package.
At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where 84 percent of last year's freshmen came back for a second year, freshmen have "success coaches" and a sleek digital advising program.
The University of Nebraska at Omaha, with a freshman retention rate of 73 percent, created learning communities, opened a new academic and career development center, and targeted attention to students who haven't picked a major.
At Creighton, nine out of 10 freshmen last year returned — a high retention rate for major four-year Nebraska institutions and one of the highest in Creighton's peer group nationally. Creighton offers a slate of tutoring, counseling, learning communities for specific professional schools and the Ratio Studiorum classes.
Ratio Studiorum (which I want to say three times quickly, waving a magic wand) is Latin for "plan of studies."
The freshman class is randomly divided into smaller groups of 12 to 15. Each group is assigned a professor who teaches everything from study skills and Jesuit identity to a book of the professor's choosing. Social activities outside of class are arranged. The professor serves as each student's academic adviser and, in a twist this year, is calling parents to check in.
Creighton also taps older peers to help. Each class is assigned a sophomore (called a "beadle") who arranges social events and a senior (called a "decurion") who helps teach.
Inside Room 211-C in Creighton's beautiful Lied Education Center for the Arts, students in this Ratio Studiorum section were from seven states, including Hawaii. Some had premed and other professional school majors. Two were studying theology. One student was undecided.
The freshmen laughed (and cringed) about a recent late-night field trip to the Squirrel Cage Jail in Council Bluffs, where a medium introduced them to some of the resident ghosts, which scared even the science-major skeptics.
"Our beds started shaking," said Kassidy Kingsley, a freshman exercise science major from Oklahoma City. "My backpack was over here. I could hear the zipper going up."
Instructor Stephen Sheftz, who is on the music faculty at Creighton, told the students the experience was creepy, one they would likely remember — but not to worry. He'd talked to a priest who said that St. Ignatius "would not put a lot of faith into it."
"Ignatius," Sheftz said, "was into the here-and-now."
The point of the class is to foster espirit de corps, provide a safety net and also teach the true purpose of a college education. Required reading includes a 26-page paper by Creighton biology professor Theodore Burk called "Liberal Education at Creighton."
Going to college isn't just job training, the paper says.
"It involves the development of a whole person, a person who has been challenged and changed by those courses and has been inspired by them to seek out new challenges and opportunities outside the classroom," Burk writes.
None of this extra help sounds familiar. Perhaps my memory is rusty, but I seem to recall lugging a tattered coursebook around, stewing over which class to take when and calling the phone registration line to set up my semester.
There was a counseling center and helpful faculty. But I don't recall this kind of institutionalized hand-holding.

"The world has changed," explains Bill Watts, director of university advising and career services at UNL.
For one thing, college is a LOT more expensive than it was a generation ago.
In 1993, Creighton's undergraduate tuition, room and board cost around $14,000 a year, which would be worth $22,685 in today's dollars. This year, Creighton's annual cost is $42,000.
And there's more scrutiny about whether institutions of higher education are delivering.
Dan Shipp of UNO, which serves more nontraditional (and therefore not as likely to finish) students, offered this: Universities now realize they need to offer more lifeboats and lifeguards to students to move them from A to G — G for graduation.
This is true especially, he said, for first-generation college students.
"If you really are committed to seeing your students succeed," he said, "you have to be far more intentional and not just assume students will make it to the finish line."
Creighton designed its program years ago to ease the transition to college and improve a student's overall chance for success.
"To me, retention equals satisfaction," said Mary Higgins, assistant vice president for student retention. "We wanted to provide a more satisfactory experience."
But isn't there value in having students find their own way, even if it takes them on a circuitous route?
"We have discussions about that all the time," Higgins said. "It's a constant balance and you don't want to over-hand-hold and babysit. But on the other hand, you want to meet their needs and be kind and open and helpful. We owe them direction and good advice."
In the end, however, students have to do their part.
"They have to go to class," she said. "They have to do the work."
And they have to hang in for the long haul. The Creighton class helps.
Ratio Studiorum is introducing its freshmen to people they may not otherwise meet, to skills they might not have yet and to a place Creighton hopes they call home.
At least through these four years.

Deron Williams to return Tuesday for Nets-Bucks despite ankle issues
Deron Williams confirmed he will play Tuesday night as the Brooklyn Nets host the Milwaukee Bucks, despite admitting that he needs more time to treat the inflammation in both of his ankles.
The Nets' starting point guard has missed the past two games and has been out for a week because of the All-Star break but said he doesn't have time to sit out any longer. With a 31-22 record, the Nets are currently fourth in the Eastern Conference as the team begins the second half of the season on Tuesday. He said doctors told him a week would be sufficient in allowing him to return to game-shape form, but Williams is clearly not 100 percent, according to a report Tuesday morning from Mike Mazzeo of ESPNNewYork.com:
"It definitely feels better than it did before I did it. [The doctors] said a week [of rest] was sufficient, so I trust the doctors. I definitely need more rest than a week for it to get back to normal, but I don't have time right now."
The pain is apparently so bad that Williams said he is unable to jump and cannot dunk off one foot. He said the swelling in his ankles has left him without any explosiveness and admitted that his performance has been declining recently after the first quarter:
"I can't jump — I don't know if you've noticed — I haven't dunked. I can't dunk Even if I tried, off one leg I can't dunk. I can dunk off two, but if I tried to jump off my left leg, I can't dunk, so it's definitely affected me. [A]ny hard impact, or hard move, it hurts. I do a good job getting it warmed up, so the first quarter is usually great, a lot of good first quarters and then I go and sit down, it stiffens up. It's hard to get back going. It's definitely been a concern."
Williams has been bothered by lingering ankle and wrist injuries all season, but has missed only three games so far after signing a five-year, $98 million contract with the Nets over this past summer. The ankle injuries are nothing new for the three-time All-Star; before the season began, he was given a cortisone shot to his left ankle after a bone spur caused inflammation in the area. After this season wraps up, Williams said he expects to undergo surgery to have his ankle cleaned up.
Though his playing time has remained virtually the same this off-season, Williams is playing with a number of new teammates and his statistics have taken a hit. In 36 minutes per game this season, he is averaging 16.7 points on 41 percent shooting to go along with 7.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds.
