- Doesn't live up to the reputationDependable66VIPDined on 8/31/2014Sorry, Jonathan's. The order got a bit mixed up and my wife's steak came to the table about 15 minutes later. Dishes were uninspiring and the cut of the Rib Eye steak was pitiful. I wouldn't serve that cut to a guest. Maine Seafood Pasta was good, but overall not enough to make me come back for. The young lady that served us and was from Eastern Europe was charming, interesting and knew her menu well. She was also able to upsell the order. Good for her. With so many really good places to eat in Ogunquit, the only reason to go to Jonathan's is if there is an act that you must see.
- Incorrect show time ruined dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014I bought tickets to see the Melissa Ferrick show and the receipt I received stated 9:00pm and that I should plan to arrive for dinner 2 hours early. The earliest reservation from concert time was 7:15pm, so I booked it. When I arrived, I was informed that the show started at 8:00pm which ruined the fact that I bought premier tickets for the $50 credit towards dinner. Not only was there not time for a full meal, but I had traveled an hour and 45 minutes to get there and we were starving! We had time for a salad and soup and the concert started promptly at 8pm. Had I not gotten there for at least the small bite we got, we would have missed the show. I still have the receipt which shows 9:00pm. I was looking forward to the romantic evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice date placePell07Dined on 8/30/2014Delicious food and great service. The eggplant Napoleon was amazing.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/28/2014Overall food and table service were great however encountered some difficulty getting tickets for upstairs show and front desk staff were not overly helpful or organized and got conflicting messages then they printed our bill incorrectly. This was too bad because wait staff were great!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/27/2014Jonathan's was very good. The service was excellent and the food was great!Special Features:
- Food Just OKOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/26/2014Food is just OK and certainly does not measure up to what we expected given the menu/prices and style of the restaurant.
- Great FindOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/24/2014This restaurant is attached to the Meadowmere Hotel. We only ate there because we were tired from traveling and we were pleasantly surprised. We both started with a farm driven salad that had a clean fresh taste. I had Haddock stuffed with scallops in a wonderful tasting sauce. This was plated with mashed potatoes & veggies. My husband ordered twin lobsters ($23.95!!) and they were delicious. Dessert we shared a banana cream tart in phylo dough. The service was friendly & efficient with white table cloths. I would definitely recommend Jonathan's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Lest One...OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014Everything was very good if not outstanding save one thing...still looking for the alcohol in my Manhatten and my wife's martini...A- instead of A+. The service was really good and the table was great!...Thanks, Larry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth visiting while in Ogonquit!CalliablancDined on 8/24/2014This restaurant can please all kind of customers, couples looking for a romantic place, small and large families, and for a friends reunion. The food was excellent ( the lobster special is a must!) and the service has well. The only comment I can make is about the decor which is a bit of everything and the tropical fish tank which is out of place for such a restaurant. We will go back during our next trip to Ogunquit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classic!MarksNicksDined on 8/23/2014Celebrated 10th anniversary at Jonathan's. It was the perfect late supper location on a Saturday in peak season. Outstanding service! The wait staff indulged our every inquiry about the menu. The bouche amuser of zuchinni and kale was a refreshing start. The lobster bisque had classic clean flavor of a New England recipe. Simple yet flavorful. The stuffed mushroom were delightful. Seafood was exceptional. The Maine Gulf scallops were juicy. The baked stuffed haddock lived up to its house special reputation, full of fresh seafood flavors. Never rushed through any part of the meal, we enjoyed traditional tiramisu and house made coffee cinnamon ice cream. This is fine New England coastal dining at its best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Dinner and MusicRosinheadDined on 8/23/2014We had a first class dinner, then went upstairs for a wonderful, intimate concert, coffee house style with drinks, coffee and deserts available. And the line up of performers is top rate.Special Features:
- terrific food and a great showshart43Dined on 8/22/2014We went back to Jonathan's (our first of many vists since 1975). (we live near-by) the food and service was top notch. (we understand Jonathan was in the kitchen the night we were there). We stayed for the show with Tom Rush who we have been a fan of since the 60's! The only downside, is the noise level. It was sometimes dificult to have normal diner converstaion as the music from the bar area was pretty loud. Overall, go. it is a wonderful Ogumquit tradition.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KilgoreTroutDined on 8/22/2014Jonathan's has been a mainstay in Ogunquit for many years. The food and service were wonderful our last time there, and there entertainment programs are outstanding each year.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AlfieDined on 8/21/2014The food was delicious, however the fish chowder was not hot enough and we should have sent it back, but we did not. It was delicious even though not hot. the only issue we do have is that the coffee was served in a cup that had a red lipstick mouth on it. it was not a small spot it was the entire LIP on the inside and outside of the cup. It was taken care of when they were notified and the manager that evening did apologize, but that should never happen in an upscale restaurant.Special Features:
- Pre-Show dinnerDanyDined on 8/21/2014The service and food at Jonathan's is always impeccable and delicious. How the chef melds the flavors in his dishes is amazing. The use of fresh vegetables and meats/seafood always meets our expectations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinnertattooedDined on 8/15/2014We went for dinner and the music afterwards upstairs. The meal was very good as was the entertainment after.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MediocreBrianaDined on 8/14/2014Live music was great, ambiance was good, but food and service was lacking. No seasoning on the food. Zucchini and squash was horrible, tasted microwaved. Service was poor and prices were high.
- Fine Diningluv2dineDined on 8/14/2014Per suggestion of friends, we made a reservation at Jonathan's and were very pleased with the whole experience. The indoor ambience and outdoor as well are pleasurable. Many tables are located next to windows displaying their beautiful flower gardens. Food is exceptional as they grow many of their own veggies. This place is a gem.Special Features:
- Amazing DinnerGigiDined on 8/13/2014Went to Jonathons for dinner with my Daughter on vacation. Food was amazing. I don't understand the negative comments. We had Natasha loved her pleasant helpful funny. I saw waiters and waitresses working quickly to serve everyone. Had a taste if complimentary soup zucchini and kale Delisious. had filet mignon with mushroom Demi glaze. To die for cooked perfect. Seafood w lingini lite perfect. Dessert Creme brûlée Omg!! And chocolate mousse cake! Everything was great. Can't wait to go again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmieDined on 8/13/2014I was upset that I had made a note on open table reservations that two people in our party are allergic to nuts, yet we were served a dessert with nuts. It could have had a very different ending if we didn't see the nuts!
- Great Food / Great AmbienceBP2014Dined on 8/12/2014We had 5:30 dinner reservations for two to celebrate our anniversary. We got there 15 mins early but they seated us right away. The menu was seafood heavy, but something for everyone (I'm vegetarian). Service was excellent and wait after order was short. Food was fantastic! Wife had haddock and I the eggplant Napolean and farm fresh salad (from Jonathon's farm). No room for dessert as we ate every bite. HIGHLY recommend. No kids with us and we didn't order drinks so can't comment on those aspects.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Big Mistakeluv2eatDined on 8/6/2014Although the service was ok , the food was horrible. The lobster bisque seemed watered down. The lobster meat meal was overcooked and had no taste even with the watered down butter. We asked for ranch dressing for our buffalo wings and got blue cheese instead. I asked for no anchovies on my salad and it came to the table with them on it. They did offer to get me another one but by then I had lost my appetite. The food was VERY expensive . They didn't even take the $10 salad off the bill. Desert was not much better. I wanted this to be a special meal out with my daughters and it turned out awful.Special Features:
- It is a gem.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/3/2014The setting was great the waitstaff friendly and knew about the menu and the wine list . After eating a great meal my husband had stuffed haddock and I had scallops, we left a spot for dessert and we were happy that we did, puff pastry with cheese and fresh blueberries, it was delish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a findValentineVIPDined on 8/3/2014Terrific place. Delicious, farm-fresh food and welcoming staff. Can't wait to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great EveningRSD1Dined on 8/2/2014Dinner setting was very nice and waiter was great. The chef made me a special pasta primavera since I am vegetarian. Then we went to see Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters upstairs after diner. 3 time blues guitarist of the year, Ronnie is truly amazing. We see him 2-3 times per year.Special Features:
- Don't botherSusanDined on 8/2/2014I had been eating at Jonathan's somewhat regularly. Over the past few years the food and service have gone downhill, as the prices have soared. My meal this past visit consisted of lamp chops and vegetable for $38. The chops were an appetizer portion at best and under cooked. They couldn't have been more than 1/4 inch thick. I will not be going again since I have given Jonathan's several tries to get back to the restaurant they used to be.
- Ronnie Earl NightKaptainKenDined on 8/2/2014Very nice ambiance, seated promptly. Partners meal was excellent, rib-eye steak was a bit chewy. Sauteed mushrooms were delayed otherwise very good service. Wine list a bit sparse. Dessert upstairs very nice. Ronnie Earl was outstandingSpecial Features:
- A real class actdeedinerDined on 7/27/2014A real class act from start to finish. All staff are friendly, polished and attentive. From the valet, hostess, bartender and servers - they were all great! Jonathan was very gracious and sweet. Greeting people as they were on their way in and out. Beautiful décor, great atmosphere and the best food you could ask for.... Thank you Jonathan's!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014It was our 20th Anniversary and our 1st time in Ogunquit, ME. We stayed at Meadowmere Resort so I picked Jonathans to dine in. The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was fantastic. Truely enjoyed our visit and would definately go back.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014While the servers were pleasant and efficient they were too few in number and water glasses were never refilled. Actually it was difficult to ascertain just who our sever was because serving seemed to be a team effort. The ambiance was great. The food gets mixed reviews however. Two of us had the schnitzel and thought it to be dry(overcooked?) though veg and potatoes were good. Two had baked stuffed haddock and one liked it and one didn't. The person who had the steak thought it was just OK and better and cheaper at Longhorn's. The swordfish was good as were the appetizers. Overall we found the food to be too pricey for the quality and probably won't eat here again.
- Our dining experiencePhoebeDined on 7/24/2014We went to Jonathan's for dinner and the show--Noel Paul Stookey. It was a magical evening--the food was delicious, we sat by the window overlooking the garden, the service was excellent. Our only complaint was that the noise level was too high--I think there was very nice live music in the bar area, but I could just barely hear it or my husband's conversation. The show was amazing and we enjoyed chatting with our tablemates. After the show they encouraged us to go to the office to make reservations for an upcoming show. We did, and good thing--it was almost sold out and Jonathan opened up another table for us so we'll be back in Oct!Special Features:
- Dinner and ConcertJosieDined on 7/24/2014Food and service were excellent. Food was served in a timely fashion so we had plent of time before the concert (Noel Paul Stookey). The soup sample from the chef was also a lovely idea and very tasty (kale, arugula, and garlic).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food with a garden viewBostonChloeDined on 7/24/2014Creative, regional cuisine. Great space with big windows overlooking the garden. Right around the corner from Ogunquit Playhouse; a really nice way to start the night before heading to a show. Great food and service.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/20/2014My twin lobsters were excellent. My husband's ribeye was poor at best, realizing that ribeye steaks are supposed to have marbling that make it tasty, his piece of steak had a considerable amount of grizzle. Most of his ribeye was relegated to his bread dish as a result. I did not comment on the noise level because none of the choices did not apply. We thought it was quite noisy being seated next to the entertainment in the bar area, making it difficult to carry on a conversation.
- Average foodLindaDined on 7/19/2014Caesar salad was very average.......meals were not terrible but not notable either. We waited 1 1/2 hours for our dinners after we put the order in. Artichoke appetizer had to be sent back twice because, although the cheese on top was bubbling, the artichokes were cold.

Poured into a snifter, this beer was a very dark brown color with a small tan head.
Aroma was roasted malt and chocolate primarily. There was also a bit of sweet fruit.
The taste was mostly chocolate, with a cherry background.
I thought the sweetness of the chocolate and the tartness of the cherries balanced each other very well.
A nice after dinner beer.

Reviewed from notes, enjoyed on tap at Park Slope Brooklyn's High Dive bar
Pours pretty darn near black, under a dark tan head, that leaves a rich and thick film, as well as coating sheets of lace. Nice looking beer.
The sniff reveals milk chocolate notes and ripe sweet fruit.
Dense layers of flavor, chocolate and the advertized cherry sweetness, covered nicely by ample hops in the finish.
Flavorful and well crafted dessert kinda brew.
Glad to get to try this one on tap after passing the pricey bottles by for the past few months.

Appearance: 1/4 inch head, moderate carbonation, dark reddish brown in color, opaque
Smell: cocoa, cherry, and caramel
Taste: matches the smell with cocoa dominating
Mouthfeel: sweet with a slightly bitter backbone, moderate carbonation, medium-heavy bodied
Overall: I like this beer a lot. It may be the best in the style I have had and certainly prefer it to Chocolate Indulgence.T he base is a solid porter. You then add the slight cherry and dominate cocoa to make this special. The combination really works and is really balanced. I will get this again. Really impressed with this offering.

On Tap
Churchill's Pub & Grille
San Marcos, CA
Nearly black in color with a moderately sized light brown head. This doesn't leave much stick to the glass and the body of the beer looks thin.
The aroma is the best aspect of this beer, and it isn't very good to begin with. There's some mild, artificial chocolate notes, along with a hint of medicinal, tart cherry.
The flavor doesn't work. The chocolate flavor seems hollow and stale, the cherry medicinal, and the overall flavor of the yeast slightly tang and tart, which clashes with the other flavors.
Thin body for the style without a lot of active carbonation.
I won't have another.

S: Sweet; Dark chocolate stands out; hint of smoke. [4.25]
T: seductive mix of chocolate, dark fruits and toasted grains. Excellent sweetness level for flavor profile.
M: full body; creamy smooth; very light bite at finish; well-chosen medium-low carbonation.
O: rich and flavorful, as well as very drinkable. Highly recommended.

Thick and nearly black, this is a big, rich-looking brew. It's topped by a bit of tan head that stays around as well as sticking around in patches, even after the head drops (though the foam left is thick).
It's not so distinctly Belgian in the nose or on the tongue as Ommegang tends to be; the yeast isn't as much the focus, it seems, as they typically like to make it. The major factors are cherry and some bittersweet chocolate, certainly by way of chocolate malts and possibly by further addition to the beer. The cherry is tart and fresh. I would be interested to see how it would work out if the yeasty presence was upped. Good stuff, still.
Thick and rich without being sticky, this one has a good bite and a good, creamy flow developing a delicate smoothness in the big body that takes a master's touch.

750ml caged and corked bottle. "Malt Beverage". What a poor connotation for what I presume is intended here.
This beer pours a deep, dark cola brown hue, with slight reddish highlights, and a ton of puffy, foamy, and somewhat creamy beige head, which seems nice and tight, as it forms a tiny honeycomb-esque vista from the side of the glass. It settles quite slowly, as expected, leaving some very random splotches of lace here and there around the glass.
It smells of sharp yeasty, toasted wheat grain, bitter dark chocolate, and astringent black fruit esters. Yes, the nose is bit of a prickly one. The taste is more lightly roasted malt, a whole lot more gritty chocolate than wheat grain at this point, with a nice undercurrent of mildly sour cherry fruitiness. Some dusty, leafy hops lend to the cause of this impressive flavour profile.
The carbonation is quite sprightly at first, but settles down to a low stupor soon enough, the body a sturdy medium weight, some pithy fruitiness taking away just a bit from a generally luxurious smoothness. It finishes fairly off-dry, though the tempered sweetness of the cocoa and fruit are kept well in check, mostly voluntarily, it would seem, the hops really just content to perform their behind the scenes drudgery.
One sexy-ass beer, this. Chocolate and tart cherry, ensconced in a dense, dunkel-like environment. It took a little more than a hello, but not much more to have me. Oh my. Too bad about the 26 dollar price tag then, eh?

A- Dark brown with a reddish tinge on the bottom of the glass.
S- Nothing to write home about. A little cocoa.
T- Something straddling the line between Belgian Dark Ale and American Porter. Some nice chocolate and roasted flavors mixed with sweet malts. It made me long for one of the other more than enjoy this one.
M- Full bodied, but lacking some roundness. Good effervescence.
O- A bit of a mixed bag. Pleasant enough, but lacking the excellence one expects from this producer. Good to pick up as a limited release.

Burns Vs. Vazquez
Who do you guys think will win?
IF Vazquez wins, could this possibly go on The Mayweather 4, 2013 undercard? who would win in Broner Vazquez? Vazquez would be a Ring Magazine Mexican 2x lightweight champion. Im sure his fan base would grow to if he beat Burns at home.
If burns wins it would be more entertaining to see him Vs. Broner. What do you think about that fight if burns beats Vazquez convincingly?

I'm going to go with Burns, I'm not high on either fighter but a more important matchup awaits if Burns can get past Vazquez. He and Broner have business to tend to and this would actually be pretty good for Burns and Broner. If they fight the WBC, WBA, and WBO titles can be unified. That adds to the intrigue
Vazquez is a bit boring to me, he fought a disciplined fight his last time out, but will that be enough to get him the W against Burns? We shall see

Owner Wayne Weaver said last week that no major changes would occur in the offseason despite another disappointing finish in 2009. This can be viewed as a good-news/bad-news statement for Jacksonville fans.
The good news is that despite a recent report saying Buffalo and Jacksonville are the front-runners for relocation to Los Angeles, Weaver continues to state adamantly that the team is not for sale.
"We're not for sale," said Weaver, noticeably agitated by the report. "We're trying to re-energize this fan base and get them excited about the team."
Jacksonville was doing just that through the first 13 weeks of the season. With a 7-5 record, and in control of their playoff destiny, things were looking up for the Jaguars.
But Weaver overreacted to the team's success, extending the contracts of his coaching assistants similarly to the way he rewarded head coach Jack Del Rio with a four-year extension following the 2007 playoffs. The team proceeded to drop the next four games, appearing very poorly coached along the way.
In the season-ending loss to the Browns, Cleveland went the entire third quarter without attempting a pass, running the ball at will against Del Rio's defense.
Therein lies the bad news for Jaguars fans, many of whom have grown tired of Del Rio; it doesn't appear that he is going anywhere. Word is, with three years remaining and more than $15 million still owed on his contract, and with uncertainty about the future of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Weaver is not ready to make a move, despite acknowledging Del Rio's mediocrity.
"We've been average the last seven years," Weaver said. "Being average is not acceptable. We've got to get better. We had a great draft class, a lot of young players. For the most part, they all produced. Building off this last draft class, and going into the offseason, I think we're a team that's ascending. I don't expect to be sitting home in January next year (during the playoffs). I'll tell you that."
While 2009 was largely viewed as a rebuilding season, it is apparent that nothing short of a trip to the playoffs will save Del Rio's job in 2010. With a much tougher schedule that includes road games in San Diego, Dallas and New York (Giants), Del Rio will likely be a lame-duck head coach before next season ends.

Retired Illinois Supreme Court Justice John Nickels, who worked to increase the legal access of low-income people, has died after a long illness at age 82.
Illinois Supreme Court spokesman Joe Tybor says Nickels died Monday at his home in Maple Park.
Nickels served six years on the state high court during the 1990s, participating in 820 cases. He authored 95 majority opinions, including a decision that struck down a gang loitering ordinance in Chicago. The U.S. Supreme Court later upheld Nickels' decision.
He grew up on a dairy farm in Kane County and credited his background with shaping his values.
Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Kilbride said in a statement Tuesday that Nickels was "a real role model" and "a gentle and most hospitable man."

Matt Ebden and Jarmila Gajdosova entered the fortnight as a scratch wildcard pairing, but leave Australian Open 2013 as Grand Slam champions on home turf after a 6-3 7-5 mixed doubles triumph over Czech duo Lucie Hradecka and Frantisek Cermak on Sunday.
The Australian pair was more solid when it counted in the 73-minute affair, breaking the Hradecka serve twice in the first set for 5-3 before Ebden held to love to take it 6-3.
Ebden and Gajdosova pounced early in the second, pinching a crucial early break on Cermak's serve in the opening game and consolidating the advantage until 4-2.
Up a set and a break and with one hand seemingly on the cup, the Aussies had break points on Hradecka's serve but failed to convert, Gajdosova relinquishing the lead in the following game when Hradecka cracked a double-handed forehand crosscourt out of reach to level at 4-4.
Ebden stemmed the flow of games, holding for 5-5, with Hradecka then sending down two double faults and a netted backhand to hand the Aussies the chance to serve for the championship.
Impressive on serve all day, Gajdosova raced to triple match point and sealed the result on her third offering when Cermak sent a return long.
The win marked the first Grand Slam trophy of any kind for the duo, and Gajdosova said it was something every aspiring player dreamt of achieving.
"I know it's mixed, but it's still a Grand Slam title. You can tell your kids 'I won a Grand Slam and it was in Australia', which is very special," she said.
"I think our personalities gel pretty well. I hope this is not our last one and we get to play again."
Ebden admitted he instigated what has started out as an undefeated partnership with Gajdosova in the off-season.
"I chased her up and back in December got a hold of her number from a secret person and just texted her," he laughed.
"She's been to the semifinals of other Grand Slams twice with another partner who she sometimes plays with, but he wasn't available so she said 'let's do it'. Then as it got to the quarterfinals, semifinals, it got serious."
Ebden was clearly not taking the win for granted, as he admitted you never knew how many chances you'd get to compete in a Grand Slam decider.
"To come out with a win in our first final and get a title straight away and to become Grand Slam champions is an amazing feeling, and something we'll always have," he said.
"Hopefully we can both use this is as a springboard and give us some confidence looking forward to Davis Cup and Fed Cup, and for the rest of the year for singles, too."

Letter to the Editor:
How many of us hunt on open Managed Forest Lands (MFL) in Wisconsin? Fish, hike, sightsee or cross-country ski on these lands? Our state has approximately 1.1 million acres of open managed forest lands — open to us all.
Yet soon our State Senate may be asked to vote on a bill that will deny us the privilege of accessing these open lands if the lands are within a proposed iron-mining site. Senate Bill 278, co-authored by Sen. Tom Tiffany, makes a farce of a well-respected program that was created in 1985 to promote sound forestry practices and open more land to the public for recreation.According to our current law, landowners with at least 10 contiguous acres, of which 80% or more is forested, can apply to have their property in the MFL program. The advantage is that they pay a substantially lower tax rate on their land per acre.
Landowners in the program choose to have their land closed or open to the public. Landowners cannot close more than 160 acres per municipality. Landowners who close their lands pay a higher tax rate than landowners who open their lands. Open lands require the landowner to permit public access for hunting, fishing, hiking, sightseeing and cross-country skiing.
Landowners commit to a 25- or 50-year sustainable forest management plan. Landowners can voluntarily withdraw from the program. At the time of withdrawal, the landowners are assessed a withdrawal tax. The tax amount reflects the regular tax payments the landowners would have made if the land was not in the MFL program.
Sen. Tiffany authored SB 278 to promote the interests of one out-of-state mining company, Gogebic Taconite (GTAC), over the interests of the public. According to its preapplication notice to the Department of Natural Resources, GTAC's proposed mining site boundary along the Penokee Range encompasses 6,744 acres. These lands are owned by RGGS Land & Minerals, LaPointe Iron Company and Chester Co. Ltd. These lands are in the MFL program and are designated open.
Under the ruse of drafting legislation that will protect workers on the mine site from protestors, SB 278 allows GTAC to close to the public these legally mandated open lands.
Our government seems insistent on taking away privileges we share as citizens of Wisconsin by drafting new laws that benefit special interests. If GTAC is sincere about protecting its workers at the potential mine site, the solution is simple — voluntarily withdraw the lands from the MFL program. Then these private lands will be closed automatically to the public.
Of course the company landowners would be responsible for deferred taxes on the land withdrawn from the program. News sources indicate the town of Anderson in Iron County could receive as much as $400,000, for example, in tax monies. In addition, the landowners would begin paying regular property taxes.
Rather than follow Wisconsin law, GTAC once again has lobbied our legislators to change our laws to its favor and our detriment. We lose. GTAC gets what it wants — open MFL lands closed to the public while the landowner companies continue to reap the benefits of the lower tax rates.
If you hunt, fish, hike, sightsee or cross-country ski on open managed forest lands, become informed. Contact our legislators. Let them know your position on SB 278. Do it soon. Your privilege to access open managed forest lands is at stake.

A topic section for articles and thoughts on Darfur. I'll begin it with this piece that sheds light on a few misconceptions:
5 Truths About Darfur
By Emily Wax
Sunday, April 23, 2006; B03
KOU KOU ANGARANA, Chad
Heard all you need to know about Darfur? Think again. Three years after a government-backed militia began fighting rebels and residents in this region of western Sudan, much of the conventional wisdom surrounding the conflict -- including the religious, ethnic and economic factors that drive it -- fails to match the realities on the ground. Tens of thousands have died and some 2.5 million have been displaced, with no end to the conflict in sight. Here are five truths to challenge the most common misconceptions about Darfur:
1 Nearly everyone is Muslim
Early in the conflict, I was traveling through the desert expanses of rebel-held Darfur when, amid decapitated huts and dead livestock, our SUV roared up to an abandoned green and white mosque, riddled with bullets, its windows shattered.
In my travels, I've seen destroyed mosques all over Darfur. The few men left in the villages shared the same story: As government Antonov jets dropped bombs, Janjaweed militia members rode in on horseback and attacked the town's mosque -- usually the largest structure in town. The strange thing, they said, was that the attackers were Muslim, too. Darfur is home to some of Sudan's most devout Muslims, in a country where 65 percent of the population practices Islam, the official state religion.
A long-running but recently pacified war between Sudan's north and south did have religious undertones, with the Islamic Arab-dominated government fighting southern Christian and animist African rebels over political power, oil and, in part, religion.
"But it's totally different in Darfur," said Mathina Mydin, a Malaysian nurse who worked in a clinic on the outskirts of Nyala, the capital of South Darfur. "As a Muslim myself, I wanted to bring the sides together under Islam. But I quickly realized this war had nothing to do with religion."
2 Everyone is black
Although the conflict has also been framed as a battle between Arabs and black Africans, everyone in Darfur appears dark-skinned, at least by the usual American standards. The true division in Darfur is between ethnic groups, split between herders and farmers. Each tribe gives itself the label of "African" or "Arab" based on what language its members speak and whether they work the soil or herd livestock. Also, if they attain a certain level of wealth, they call themselves Arab.
Sudan melds African and Arab identities. As Arabs began to dominate the government in the past century and gave jobs to members of Arab tribes, being Arab became a political advantage; some tribes adopted that label regardless of their ethnic affiliation. More recently, rebels have described themselves as Africans fighting an Arab government. Ethnic slurs used by both sides in recent atrocities have riven communities that once lived together and intermarried.
"Black Americans who come to Darfur always say, 'So where are the Arabs? Why do all these people look black?' " said Mahjoub Mohamed Saleh, editor of Sudan's independent Al-Ayam newspaper. "The bottom line is that tribes have intermarried forever in Darfur. Men even have one so-called Arab wife and one so-called African. Tribes started labeling themselves this way several decades ago for political reasons. Who knows what the real bloodlines are in Darfur?"
3 It's all about politics
Although analysts have emphasized the racial and ethnic aspects of the conflict in Darfur, a long-running political battle between Sudanese President Omar Hassan Bashir and radical Islamic cleric Hassan al-Turabi may be more relevant.
A charismatic college professor and former speaker of parliament, Turabi has long been one of Bashir's main political rivals and an influential figure in Sudan. He has been fingered as an extremist; before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks Turabi often referred to Osama bin Laden as a hero. More recently, the United Nations and human rights experts have accused Turabi of backing one of Darfur's key rebel groups, the Justice and Equality Movement, in which some of his top former students are leaders.
Because of his clashes with Bashir, Turabi is usually under house arrest and holds forth in his spacious Khartoum villa for small crowds of followers and journalists. But diplomats say he still mentors rebels seeking to overthrow the government.
"Darfur is simply the battlefield for a power struggle over Khartoum," said Ghazi Suleiman, a Sudanese human rights lawyer. "That's why the government hit back so hard. They saw Turabi's hand, and they want to stay in control of Sudan at any cost."
4 This conflict is international
China and Chad have played key roles in the Darfur conflict.
In 1990, Chad's Idriss Deby came to power by launching a military blitzkrieg from Darfur and overthrowing President Hissan Habre. Deby hails from the elite Zaghawa tribe, which makes up one of the Darfur rebel groups trying to topple the government. So when the conflict broke out, Deby had to decide whether to support Sudan or his tribe. He eventually chose his tribe.
Now the Sudanese rebels have bases in Chad; I interviewed them in towns full of Darfurians who tried to escape the fighting. Meanwhile, Khartoum is accused of supporting Chad's anti-Deby rebels, who have a military camp in West Darfur. (Sudan's government denies the allegations.) Last week, bands of Chadian rebels nearly took over the capital, N'Djamena. When captured, some of the rebels were carrying Sudanese identification.
Meanwhile, Sudan is China's fourth-biggest supplier of imported oil, and that relationship carries benefits. China, which holds veto power in the U.N. Security Council, has said it will stand by Sudan against U.S. efforts to slap sanctions on the country and in the battle to force Sudan to replace the African Union peacekeepers with a larger U.N. presence. China has built highways and factories in Khartoum, even erecting the Friendship Conference Hall, the city's largest public meeting place.
5 The "genocide" label made it worse
Many of the world's governments have drawn the line at labeling Darfur as genocide. Some call the conflict a case of ethnic cleansing, and others have described it as a government going too far in trying to put down a rebellion.
But in September 2004, then-Secretary of State Colin L. Powell referred to the conflict as a "genocide." Rather than spurring greater international action, that label only seems to have strengthened Sudan's rebels; they believe they don't need to negotiate with the government and think they will have U.S. support when they commit attacks. Peace talks have broken down seven times, partly because the rebel groups have walked out of negotiations. And Sudan's government has used the genocide label to market itself in the Middle East as another victim of America's anti-Arab and anti-Islamic policies.
Perhaps most counterproductive, the United States has failed to follow up with meaningful action. "The word 'genocide' was not an action word; it was a responsibility word," Charles R. Snyder, the State Department's senior representative on Sudan, told me in late 2004. "There was an ethical and moral obligation, and saying it underscored how seriously we took this." The Bush administration's recent idea of sending several hundred NATO advisers to support African Union peacekeepers falls short of what many advocates had hoped for.
"We called it a genocide and then we wine and dine the architects of the conflict by working with them on counterterrorism and on peace in the south," said Ted Dagne, an Africa expert for the Congressional Research Service. "I wish I knew a way to improve the situation there. But it's only getting worse."

rebels reject osama
Darfur rebel group rejects Bin Laden call for jihad
Monday 24 April 2006 00:30.
April 23, 2006 (DUBAI) — One of Darfur's two main rebel groups rejected Al-Qaeda supremo Osama bin Laden's call on Muslims to fight the "crusaders" in the western Sudanese region, warning it could encourage Khartoum to step up its repression.
"We categorically reject these declarations," Justice and Equality Movement official Ahmed Hussein said, reacting to remarks made in an audiotape attributed to bin Laden and aired by the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera news channel.
Bin Laden purportely called "upon the mujahedeen (holy warriors) and their supporters in Sudan and its surroundings — including the Arabian Peninsula — to prepare to lead a prolonged war against the crusader robbers in western Sudan."
Sudan's Darfur has been torn by more than three years of war and famine since a rebellion by movements demanding a bigger share of their region's resources launched an uprising which was brutally repressed by Khartoum.
Some estimates put at 300,000 the number of people who have been killed in what Washington has termed a genocide.
"His words are completely disconnected from the reality in Darfur. Bin Laden is still preaching the theory of an American-Zionist conspiracy when the real problem comes from Khartoum, which is a Muslim government killing other Muslims," Hussein said.
He warned that such comments risked "encouraging the Khartoum regime to perpetuate injustice and its strategy against Darfur."
The Islamist regime of Omar al-Beshir, which sheltered Bin Laden between 1991 and 1996, has vehemently opposed plans by the United Nations to take over security from a contingent of African Union peacekeepers who have failed to quell the Darfur bloodshed.

Darfur Violence Intensifies as Deadline for Withdrawal of AU Peacekeepers Looms
The Sudanese government is increasing its attacks in Darfur as the African Union confirms it will withdraw peacekeeping troops by the end of the month. We speak with Alex de Waal, an advisor to the African Union and author of "Darfur: A Short History of a Long War." [includes rush transcript] A leading human rights group is accusing the Sudanese government of indiscriminately bombing villages in rebel-held regions of Darfur without regard for civilian lives.
Human Rights Watch said firsthand sources report flight crews rolling bombs out the back ramps of Sudanese military aircraft flying over civilian areas.
The Sudanese government recently launched a major offensive in Darfur believed to involve tens of thousands of troops backed by bomber aircraft and helicopter gunships.
The attacks come as the African Union confirmed its decision to withdraw its peacekeeping troops from Sudan when their mandate expires at the end of September. The AU has said repeatedly that it wants to hand over its mission to the United Nations. The Security Council recently voted to authorize more than 20,000 troops and police officers for Darfur but the UN force was strongly rejected by the Sudanese government.
The AU brokered a peace accord in May, but it was signed by the government and only one of the three main rebel groups in Darfur. Since then, the violence has intensified.
Humanitarian groups say civilian casualties, rapes and looting have all grown more widespread. Meanwhile, aid workers have been forced to curtail efforts to distribute food and health care to the region amid increasing attacks.
Since 2003, as many as 400,000 people have died in the Darfur region and as many as three million people have been left homeless.

AMY GOODMAN: We're joined now by Alex de Waal. He's in Boston, fellow of the Global Equity Initiative at Harvard University, advisor to the African Union, author of the book Darfur: A Short History of a Long War. We welcome you to Democracy Now! Can you talk about the latest situation in Darfur?
ALEX DE WAAL: The situation at the moment is really rather bleak. What's happened is that in the months after the peace agreement was partially signed, which was four months ago in May, the -- various efforts were made to try and get on the side the two rebel groups that were not signatories. Now, these efforts were really rather half-hearted. I was closely involved in one of them, and we really had very little backup, very little diplomatic clout and very little to offer those groups that were really still quite interested in signing up to the agreement.
And the failure to bring onboard those parties left Darfur in a very, very precarious situation. All the institutions that had been set up -- the ceasefire commission, the peacekeeping forces -- were all set up to monitor an agreement on the assumption that all parties had bought into it. And the situation then was untenable. There was an attempt to implement an agreement with only one of the three rebel groups, with one of the others still trying to get onboard and the other one mounting military action to try and undermine it. And the government, I think, did sign the peace agreement with some genuine attempt to try and settle the situation there.
But then what happened was, without any progress on that, it decided on the military option. It put forward a plan for disarming the Janjaweed militia and then took that off the table. It hasn't done any disarmament of the Janjaweed. It was supposed not to reinforce its military forces in Darfur. It was actually supposed to withdraw them to garrisons several months ago. That didn't happen.
And to the contrary, what's happened is, it's reinforced, it's brought in more troops, and it has made essentially a military alliance with the one group, the Sudan Liberation Army of Minni Minawi, the one man who did sign up. And they have been launching joint attacks, supported by the air force, against the holdout rebel groups. And that has led to massive destruction, burning of villages, aerial bombardment and many, many more killings. And there seems no way actually at the moment of stopping this. The offensive is due to continue. I don't believe there is a military solution. It will not defeat the holdout rebel groups. What it will do is, it will kill more people, create more hunger, create more displacement and make the situation even more intractable.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And in retrospect, what might have been done differently when the negotiations were going on to incorporate the two groups that rejected the agreement and continue to fight?
ALEX DE WAAL: I think the key thing to bear in mind is that the solution to Darfur is a political solution. No solution can be imposed by any amount of arm twisting, any amount of bluster, any amount of military force. Even if we sent 100,000 NATO troops, we would not be able to impose a solution. The solution has to come through political negotiation. And that, unfortunately, is a very slow process.
The sides do not trust each other. There are a great deal of enmity and mistrust, and with good reason. They have been fighting each other, they've been killing each other. And while the government is responsible for the majority of the killings, the rebels are not angels either. They also have their own very, very serious problems of human rights abuse, and they have been fighting each other, too.
What was needed, I think, was more time, more time to enable the text that came out of the agreements to be truly owned by the parties, rather than a rather well-crafted agreement, but an agreement that was essentially imposed upon the parties. And had we had another few months, I think we would have certainly got a more inclusive deal. We could certainly have got one of the other two rebel factions. The Sudan Liberation Army, headed by Abdul Wahid Nur, which has the largest popular support in Darfur, that I believe would have signed up. And then we would be on a rather different track.
I think this thing was done in haste, and it was done in haste in part because there was a tremendous international impatience and impetus, which is quite understandable, to end the humanitarian suffering, to get troops on the ground, to bring an end to the abuses that occur every day.
AMY GOODMAN: Alex de Waal, we're also joined on the line from Sudan by Suleiman Jamous, the former Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator for the Sudanese Liberation Army. He opposed the Darfur peace agreement. He was captured on May 20 by members of an SLA faction that signed the accord. He was held for a month before being released. He is speaking to us from Central Sudan. What do you think needs to happen right now, Suleiman Jamous?
SULEIMAN JAMOUS: [inaudible] civilians of Darfur. The only option that we should be [inaudible] out of Sudan is to monitor the peace of the civilians, because what I feel that at the same time they are implementing the agreement achieved by [inaudible] --
AMY GOODMAN: I'm sorry, the line is too bad. We're going to try to call you back. Suleiman Jamous, former Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator for the Sudanese Liberation Army. Alex de Waal, the United Nations' relationship with the African Union, what is it? And what role do you think the U.S. should be playing now?
ALEX DE WAAL: The AU-UN0 relationship is really very good. The African Union has recognized that the forces that it has on the ground are too few, too poorly equipped, and don't really have the mandate to be able to protect the civilian population. And the African Union Peace and Security Council, their equivalent for the African continent of the UN Security Council, has made a very clear resolution that because the AU force is not capable, a UN force should take over. And so, that is what they have insisted upon.
And it was on the basis of that resolution, that the UN Security Council resolution passed its Resolution 1706 about a week ago, demanding that the Sudan government allow in a force of 20,000. The Sudan government has obviously rejected that and has said to the African Union: You can stay, but only if you reverse that. So, the Sudan government is essentially saying to the African Union: Yes, you can stay, but only if you stay in your current, less-than-capable capacity.
Now, to me, this -- clearly the Sudan government is in the wrong. Clearly the Sudan government needs to back down, needs to allow a capable force. But, in a way, what we've got ourselves into is a cul-de-sac, a dead end of posturing on both sides, which is not helping a resolution of the situation. The reality is that, however many troops we bring into Darfur, they are not going to be able to protect all those civilians. They're not going to be able to assist in the disarmament of the Janjaweed unless there is a political solution on the table that everyone has signed up to.
And so, let us begin to get the politics, the politics of crafting a peace deal that actually involves everybody, that gets everybody around the table agreed on what the future of Darfur should look like. Let's put that first, and then let's put the international force that will be there for peacekeeping as an adjunct to that.
JUAN GONZALEZ: But if the Sudanese government rejects any United Nations involvement, what recourse is left to the international community to be able to get the government to agree to some kind of ceasefire?
ALEX DE WAAL: Well, essentially what President Bashir of Sudan has done is he's called the bluff of the UN and the US. The UN and the US have said: We want to send a force. And they've implied that if the Sudan government doesn't agree, they will force it on them.
But what is the reality of this? Are we really going to send an army to Darfur to invade against the wishes of the Sudan government, to face the military resistance of the Sudan government and its militias? And the answer, frankly, is no. Are we going to be able to impose sanctions that are tough enough on the Sudan government, which has after all been under sanctions of one form or another for 17 years, that will make them comply? This is a country that is an oil exporter that has good relations with all its neighbors now, has good relations with China and Russia. The answer, frankly, again is no.
So, let's recognize that posturing and wielding a bigger stick, frankly, is not going to work. The bluff of that has been called. Let's get back to a discussion. Let's get back to negotiating a political solution that starts with a ceasefire, that starts with saying: We can solve this problem, but we can solve this problem only with the consent of all. And the first step is the fighting must stop. And I personally am confident that this is the only way. It may be a long shot. Time is very short. We're really very, very close to some deadlines, and if we pass those deadlines, if we pass the end of this month and the African Union forces withdraw, then we're in a very, very dismal situation. But we do need to rescue this politically.
AMY GOODMAN: Alex De Waal, we want to thank you very much for joining us, fellow of the Global Equity Initiative at Harvard University, advisor to the African Union. His book is Darfur: A Short History of a Long War.
We're sorry we couldn't get Suleiman Jamous back on the line with us, former Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator for the Sudanese Liberation Army, speaking to us from Central Sudan.

The Lynne Cohen Foundation Programs
Many Services Under One Roof
by Sophie Roell
If finding out I had a BRCA1 mutation wasn't already stressful enough, it got even worse when I tried to do something about it. I was 30 years old, and because I wanted to preserve my option to have children, my only solution was surveillance. But figuring out how to go about it wasn't easy.
The breast surgeon with whom I consulted at a local New York breast cancer center seemed brilliant, but took little interest in my worries about my ovaries. One doctor told me I needed to be on the Pill to reduce my risk of ovarian cancer, while another suggested quitting the Pill because it raised my breast cancer risk. It all seemed random. I had the feeling if I walked out the door and never returned, no one would even notice.
The Lynne Cohen Foundation for Ovarian Cancer Research is changing this frustrating type of experience, revolutionizing early detection and screening of women's cancers with their comprehensive, multidisciplinary programs for breast and ovarian preventive care. In clinics at four major cancer centers across the country (see below), women who worry they are at high risk have all their concerns and questions addressed in one place. Here oncologists specializing in breast and gynecologic cancers, and counselors (who provide genetic counseling, lifestyle counseling and psycho-social counseling) are available under the same convenient roof. "The breast and gynecologic specialists communicate with each other," says Trudy Harris, the Foundation's Co-Executive Director. "This multidisciplinary concept is important to us but right now most medical institutions aren't set up that way."
While the clinics address patient care, they also facilitate research under the aegis of The Lynne Cohen Consortium. Pooling data from the high-risk community served by the programs will link women at risk with the science of screening and prevention. A data bank and tissue repository including other biological samples from Lynne Cohen Clinic patients is in development and will vastly improve early detection efforts for both breast and ovarian cancers.
At a Lynne Cohen Consortium meeting I saw the Foundation's vision at work: doctors and researchers from each of the sites sharing information and discussing their various research protocols. Topics ranged from the highly technical (reduction of false positive MRI screenings) to public health issues (how to communicate cancer risk issues to minority women). One study will examine the potential for using aromatase inhibitors, used widely for breast cancer treatment, to prevent the disease in high-risk women.
At a Foundation-sponsored symposium, The Emerging Role of Screening and Prevention in Women's Cancers, medical specialists from around the world presented their ideas, research and hopes for future improvements. Most promising is the use of MRIs for early breast cancer detection (see "MRI Screening for High-Risk Women") and research into blood proteins (see "Proteomics: New Hope for Finding Ovarian Cancers in High-Risk Women").
Harris is excited and encouraged by all the progress."Screening and prevention is a new scientific frontier, an emerging field, and we're making strides." I hope she's right. I watched my mother die painfully of ovarian cancer when I was nine years old. With my lifelong dread of the disease, I sometimes forget the simple point driving the Lynne Cohen Foundation's work: breast and ovarian cancers are curable diseases when found in early stages.

All-in-One Centers
Established in 1998,The Lynne Cohen Foundation is dedicated to the life, character and strength of its namesake, who died of ovarian cancer. Although Cohen didn't carry a genetic mutation, she was concerned her three daughters might be at risk. Since then, through preventive care programs at major cancer centers throughout the country, the Foundation created by Cohen's daughters focuses on the emerging role of screening and prevention in women's cancers.

I believed that an already severe sadness was aggravated by being taunted relentlessly. This kid who was outed without his permission, who was exposed for the "entertainment" value of the reality TV culture is not merely an instance of gay bashing. He is a test of our failure not to torture. He is a victim of our pro-exposure, lack of empathy, sociopathic contempt for privacy or kindness. I keep his picture on my desk. I look at him every day.

President Obama took his message of curbing gun violence to Minnesota today.
It was the President's first stop pitching his hopes for gun reform outside Washington.
Before delivering remarks on the action he hopes Congress will take, the commander-in-chief met with law enforcement and community leaders at the Minneapolis Police Department Special Operations Center. The president says limiting access to some weapons, or requiring a background check during weapons purchases, are common sense measures that have support of the public.
Both Minnesota lawmakers and members of law enforcement have been studying ways to reduce gun-related incidents for several years.

WASHINGTON, Ill. -- Thanks to some local students, the show will go on for the drama program at Washington Central Intermediate School.
Washington Central Intermediate School teacher Sarah Woolard knows how much works goes into plays like "the Emperor's New Clothes." Woolard created the school's drama program, which is now in its second year. And as winner of WHOI and CEFCU'S One Class at a Time$1,000 grant she's getting some help with it.
"I'm super excited. I have a feeling this is from my drama students. We just finished a performance this weekend and I'm super excited to get this for our program," said Grant Recipient and 5th Grade Teacher Sarah Woolard.
Woolard and students said in such a short time the program has come a long way. Principal Brian Hoelscher agrees.
"Just last year she began the program with a few one act plays, just to try and get things started. This year it was a huge production, very well produced. The kids did a great job of acting in it. I mean, it looks like we've been doing this forever," said Hoelscher.
Students said they all appreciate her dedication in both the classroom and after-school activities, and add the grant will make a big difference.
"It helps with the scenery and the paint, all of the paint for the background. She could buy costumes for the different people so they look nice for the plays," said 5th grade student Noah Frye.
With their most recent production behind them and a financial gift like this one, students said the next show will be worth seeing.

Eighth-ranked Arizona (28-6, 3-3 Pac-12) heads to Tempe to take on 11th-ranked Arizona State in a series televised by the Pac-12 Network. Both teams look to keep their momentum going after Week 7 Pac-12 sweeps.
The Cats' three-game sweep of Oregon State featured three mercy victories in which UA outscored the Beavers 36-2. Meanwhile, Arizona State used a run-rule win sandwiched between two bottom of the seventh comebacks to sweep Stanford.
Arizona will be the first top-10 team that ASU has faced all season. Arizona and Arizona State meet Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 5:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. PDT, respectively.
ARIZONA STATE SERIES: The Wildcats own an 88-46-1 record all-time against Arizona State. Arizona's 135 meetings with ASU are the most with any opponent. The Cats erased a six-game losing streak in the series when they took two of three from the Sun Devils last season in Tucson.
- Arizona is at or near the top of nearly every offensive ranking in the NCAA. Arizona leads the nation in batting average (.361), home runs (54) and slugging percentage (.638). The Cats are third in scoring, averaging 7.94 runs per game.
- UA is getting done on the other side of the ball as well. Arizona's 1.47 ERA ranks 10th nationally while its .980 fielding percentage is tied for second in the country.
- Catcher Chelsea Goodacre is tied for NCAA lead with 13 home runs. Shortstop Kellie Fox is not far behind with 12 homers, which is tied for fifth nationally. Goodacre has 48 RBI, fourth in the country, while Fox's 45 RBI rank fifth.
- Arizona is 19-0 at home, including 16 run-rule victories. Arizona is outscoring opponents by an average of 9.95-0.74 at home. On the road (neutral plus away games), Arizona in 9-6 with just three mercy wins. On the road, Arizona's average margin of victory is just 2.8 runs, compared to the 9.21 run average margin of victory at home. Arizona is hitting .442 at home while batting just .268 on the road.
- Arizona hit three grand slams last week in five games: Katiyana Mauga vs. UNLV (game 2), Hallie Wilson vs. Oregon State (game 1) and Chelsea Goodacre vs. Oregon State (game 3). The three grand slams in six days betters Arizona's entire 59-game total from 2013, when UA hit two grand slams. On the season, Arizona has hit seven grand slams. Mauga has hit three grand slams this season.
- From Feb. 22 to March 4, Arizona run-ruled eight consecutive opponents, setting a school record. The previous record was six straight mercy wins, accomplished thrice (2003, 2001 and 1994). The Cats have run-ruled 19 opponents on the season in just 34 chances after run-ruling eight opponents in 59 games in 2013.
- Arizona heads back on the road after a brief three-game stint in Tucson last weekend. At the conclusion of the ASU series, Arizona will have played 13 of its last 16 games away from Hillenbrand Stadium. The recently-completed 10-game road swing was its longest regular-season road swing since an 11-gamer in 2010.
- Arizona is the only team in the country that ranks in the top 10 in the country in batting average (1st - .361), ERA (10th - 1.47) and fielding percentage (t2nd - .980).
- Arizona's pitching staff has allowed just 42 earned runs this season in 34 games and has a 1.47 ERA. In 34 games this year, Arizona has tossed 12 shutouts. In 59 games in 2013, UA threw just three shutouts. UA pitchers have thrown five one-hitters this season and one no-hitter (Estela Piñon and Kenzie Fowler, Feb. 9 vs. Southern Miss).
- Arizona leads the conference in batting average (.361), slugging percentage (.638), on-base percentage (.461), runs scored (270), RBI (254), home runs (54), total bases (521) and fielding percentage (.980).
- With Pac-12 play just beginning, it will be difficult to keep these figures up, but as of right now, Arizona's .361 average would be the best since 1998 (.385) while its 1.47 ERA would be the best since the 2006 team's 1.10 ERA. Also, the Wildcats' .980 fielding percentage would be second best in school history.
- On the season, Arizona has 111 extra-base hits. Its opponents have 132 total hits.
- Opponents are just 2-for-22 (.091) batting with the bases loaded. Meanwhile, Arizona is 21-for-60 (.350) with the bases loaded, including the aforementioned seven grand slams.
Arizona State: The Sun Devils (30-5) enter the weekend coming off of a series sweep at home against No. 24 Stanford. The series opener was a dramatic 16-15 extra inning shootout victory for ASU before shutting down the Cardinal in game two. The series finale was another dramatic win as the Sun Devils got a walk-off homer from Cheyenne Coyle to complete a come from behind victory. Amber Freeman leads ASU at the plate with a .447 average to go with five homers and 29 RBI. The duo of Mackenzie Popescue and Dallas Escobedo lead the Sun Devils in the circle with a combined 28-5 record.
Hallie Wilson: Wilson is the table setter for the Arizona offense as she leads the Pac-12 in runs scored (42), while ranking second in walks (29) and triples (3) and she finds herself third in the league in RBI (35) and total bases (70). She currently ranks fourth on the squad with a .404 batting average. Wilson hit .556 with a team-best three homers and 11 RBI in the series sweep of Oregon State this past weekend.
Estela Piñon: The senior leads the team and is third in the Pac-12 with a 1.09 ERA this season, having allowed just 10 earned runs in 64.0 innings pitched. In her last 86.1 innings pitched, dating back to last season, Piñon has allowed a total of 12 earned runs (0.97 ERA), with 84 strikeouts.
Kellie Fox: The junior leads the Pac-12 in three different offensive categories and is second in three more. She leads the conference in slugging percentage (.944), on-base percentage (.573) and total bases (85). She is second to teammate Chelsea Goodacre in RBI (45) and home runs (12), and second to teammate Hallie Wilson in runs scored (38).
