Moscoso is a 5-8 setter, who comes to Logan after a three-year starting role at Capistrano Valley (Calif.) High School. She helped lead her team to a 27-8 record, falling in the CIF semi-finals after winning the Sea View League championship following an undefeated run through league play. During the regular-season, Moscoso averaged 9.5 assists per set, adding 1.7 digs, 0.7 kills, 0.7 aces and 0.6 kills per set. Moscoso led the Cougars to two major tournament titles this year, in which she earned MVP and all-tournament team honors. She was named the team MVP for the 2011 season while being named to the South Coast League first-team.
"We are looking forward to Erica coming into our gym this fall. She will continue the tradition of strong setters we have fostered over the years," DuBose said. "She has competed at a high level in both high school and club and this training will allow her to hit the ground running as she enters Utah State."

The Yorkton Terriers clinched the Viterra Conference title in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League with a decisive 11-1 win over Nipawin Saturday.
The win raised the Terrier season record to 34-12-2-5 for 75 points, four up on Melville.
Estevan sits third with 60-points with Weyburn fourth at 47.
Yorkton's 75 points are also best in the league, with three games remaining in the regular season.
Hammering the Hawks
Saturday the visiting Nipawin Hawks out-shot Yorkton 12-7 in the first period, but still trailed the host Terriers 3-0 with Tyler Giebel, Brett Boehm and Riley Hunt scoring the Yorkton goals.
In the second the Terriers fired 20-shots at the Hawks, scoring four, and chasing Hawks starting goaltender Joe O'Brien from the game in favour of Steven Glass.
Giebel would round out a hat trick with two in the second, with Dallas Rossiter netting his first of the season, and Tayler Thompson popping his 21st of the campaign.
The Hawks would use its powerplay to spoil Kale Thomson's shut-out bid with their only goal of the contest 39-seconds into the third. As Michael Lambert picked up the only goal among 30-Nipawin shots.
The Terriers would fire 18-shots in the third, scoring on four, including Thompson's second, part of a five-point night, while Dylan Johnson, Kailum Gervais and Zach Zadorozniak adding singles to round out an 11-1 win.
"The guys were very focused tonight," said Terrier head coach Trent Cassan, adding the Terriers were hoping to clinch the division on home ice and they did that.
With the Viterra theirs, Cassan said the Terriers have one regular season goal to go, to lead the overall SJHL standings heading into playoffs.
They hold a two-point lead on Kindersley with each team having three games left to play.
While scoring 11 is something of a romp, Cassan said the team "didn't get into bad habits. They were doing things the right way. They played hard and honest."
The Terrier coach said he particularly liked that the powerplay was again sharp.
"Our powerplay has been pretty inspired the last 10-15 games," he said, adding "that's going to be a key for us going into the playoffs."
Cassan said a potent powerplay can make opponents think before taking liberties with the Terriers, if they know they will pay for transgressions with powerplay goals against.
"It keeps them a bit more honest," he said.
Thompson said the game was something of a statement for the Terriers who lost 5-0 in Nipawin the last time the two clubs met.
"It's not often we lose a game 5-0. That was in the back of our minds" he said. "We came out wanting to show them that was a fluke."
Cassan said in the 5-0 loss he had some concerns about the Terriers having one another's backs, adding since that loss the team has really come together, whether the 11-goal barrage was part of the story line, or not.
As for his Thompson, when asked if he had ever had a performance like the one Saturday, he said it was a rarity, adding "maybe in Bantam" he had turned the trick before.
"Thompson played a great game," said Cassan, adding "our best players were our best players," in the win.
Asked about Hunt joining he and Boehm on a line, Thompson said he has fit it smoothly.
"He's a real smart player," he said, adding his speed is a huge asset for a line that "wants to be attacking with speed all the time."
As for the lone goal against, Thompson took responsibility for that as it was him sitting in the penalty box.
"That was my bad," he said. "I take that personally."
Thompson said Thomson deserved a shut-out the way he has back-stopped the Terriers all season.
It was a good old shoot out at the Farrell Agencies Arena as Weyburn rolled in for a rare Thursday encounter.
Daylan Gatzke struck first for the Terriers at 2:13 of the first period.
Matt Eng quickly responded for the Wings with a powerplay marker at 3:40, and Josh Lees made it 2-1 visitors before the end of the opening 20-minutes.
Tyler Borstmayer made it 3-1 with a powerplay goal 5:57 into the second.
But Yorkton evened things late.
Tayler Thompson scored on the Terrier powerplay at 13:34, and Chase Norrish scored the tying goal at 17:28.
Brett Boehm gave Yorkton an early third period goal at 2:30, only to have Colton Laroque use the Wing powerplay to again knot the score at 5:18.
The man advantage would give Yorkton the eventual game-winner as Boehm scored his second of the frame at the nine-minute mark.
Boehm would be credited with his third of the night at 13:30, although it was clearly Tyler Giebel who netted the final goal of the night on a set-up by Boehm.
Kale Thomson had the win in the Terrier net facing 23 shots, while Rylan Parenteau took the loss for the Wings facing 40.
Up next
The Terriers enter the final week of the regular season with three games scheduled.
Tonight (Wednesday) the Terriers host Notre Dame in the final home ice encounter of the season.
Yorkton hits the road for action in Flin Flon Friday, then wrap up the season in Humboldt Saturday.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The victim of a reported discrimination case is getting some special treatment, following our report highlighting what happened to her at a Wilmington nail salon.
The family of a woman from Wilmington says that she was the victim of discrimination after Lee Nail Salon reportedly tried to charge the 86-year-old an extra fee because she is in a wheelchair.
On Friday, Ilse Rosenberg was given a complete makeover for free, courtesy of Bangz Nail Salon in Wilmington.
This was the first of three free makeovers that Ilse has scheduled over the next two weeks.
Her caregiver, Melissa Padgett says this is a good first step in the recovery process, but they still plan to fight for justice. "It doesn't make up for it fully, but it does help her emotionally," said Padgett. "She definitely feels appreciated and we are looking forward to hearing from the justice department next month."
The family also complained to the North Carolina Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
A representative from that office said they have forwarded the family's complaint to the US Department of Justice, which handles investigations into ADA violations.

Houston Texans kicker Randy Bullock needs to buy his offense dinner after they bailed out the kicker in overtime. Bullock missed three field goals, including a possible game-winner from 46 yards, in the Texans' 30-24 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
With their kicker unable to connect, Houston's offense came through. Quarterback Matt Schaub found rookie DeAndre Hopkins for the game-winning touchdown from two yards out in overtime, giving Bullock a pass for tossing nine points down the drain.
Houston's ground attack was too much as Arian Foster and Ben Tate combined for 172 yards. It looked like the Texans would suffer a tough loss when Schaub threw a late interception, but his teammates were able to rally around the quarterback and pull them to victory.
Jake Locker passed for just 148 yards, but made completions when it mattered, throwing two critical touchdowns without turning the ball over. The Titans leaned on Chris Johnson for the bulk of their offense, and the star running back obliged with 96 yards on 25 carries.
Fantasy studs and duds
Arian Foster came on late in the game to finish with 79 yards and a touchdown.
DeAndre Hopkins had a huge day for owners in PPR leagues, as he caught 7 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.
Did they cover?
The Texans were 7.5-point favorites, according to OddsShark. Their six-point win means they narrowly failed to cover.

Music expresses the essence of our community. The seminary is international and multicultural, representing diverse Christian traditions. Our liturgical music is rooted in a Reformed appreciation of communal singing of psalms and hymns. From this center we explore the rich heritages of our global and ecumenical community.
Music Leadership
Martin Tel, director of music
Martin Tel is the C.F. Seabrook Director of Music at Princeton Seminary, a post he has held at Princeton Seminary since 1996. He conducts three choirs, teaches courses in church music, and administers the music for the daily seminary worship services. He holds degrees from Dordt College (music, Dutch), the University of Notre Dame (organ literature), Calvin Theological Seminary (Christian education), and the University of Kansas (church music). As a Fulbright Scholar he conducted research in the Netherlands at the Institute for Liturgical Studies at the University of Groningen and studied organ literature and design at the Sweelinck Conservatory of Amsterdam. He is currently serving on a bi-denominational hymnal committee for the Christian Reformed Church and the Reformed Church in America. With his wife, Sharilyn, he is raising three children in Princeton.
Music Leadership
Michael Gittens, interim choral assistant
Rachel Barker, bell choir director
All seminary students, as well as faculty, staff, and spouses, are invited and encouraged to join the seminary's choral program. The choirs are directed by Martin Tel. The CHAPEL CHOIR is the core choral ensemble at the seminary. The choir rehearses on Tuesday evenings beginning at 6:30. The length of rehearsal varies from one to two hours. The choir will focus on the function and creative use of the hymnal, the psalter (metrical and responsorial), global music and service music. In addition to weekly leadership in chapel worship, the Chapel Choir participates in various concerts throughout the year. Students may earn academic credit for their participation in this ensemble.SEMINARY SINGERS is an auditioned ensemble (up to 20 members) which rehearses on Tuesday evenings at the conclusion of Chapel Choir rehearsal. Rehearsals begin with Chapel Choir at 6:30 and will end by 8:40. This ensemble provides additional musical leadership in chapel worship. It also prepares more complex literature in preparation for special concerts and events. Placement in this ensemble will be determined by musicianship exhibited in the choral audition, prior choral involvement at the seminary, and proximity to graduation.Approximately 10 times in the course the academic year, the PRINCETON SEMINARY TOURING CHOIR will travel off campus to sing for church worship services and other gatherings. Repertoire and membership for this choir will be drawn from the Seminary Singers. This ensemble is a "stipend choir" of professional quality, however, interested persons should not approach this as a mere employment opportunity. The choir is a vital ministry of Princeton Seminary. For more information about the ministry of the touring choir, click here. Auditions for the choral ensembles are held at the start of the academic year. Stop by Scheide Hall to sign-up for an audition/placement time. All new and returning students must sing for Martin Tel at an audition/placement prior to being a part of the choir.
In addition to the ensembles directed by Martin Tel, students regularly initiate and conduct their own ensembles. In the past we have had ensembles devoted to dance, gospel music, Praise & Worship music, handbells, and other instruments. The chapel office supports the work of these groups and regularly engages their leadership in our daily worship service.The Handbell Choir is comprised of members of both the Princeton Seminary and Princeton University communities. Rehearsals take place weekly in Miller Chapel. The Well is a contemporary worship service led by the Theological Student Fellowship (TSF) weekly in the Gambrell Room.If you are interested in any of the above groups, or would like to offer leadership for another ensemble, contact the chapel office.
If you dance or play a musical instrument and would like to participate in worship, contact Martin Tel and let him know of your interest.The Chapel owns pew copies of the following hymnals: Psalms for All Seasons (Faith Alive Christian Resources), The Presbyterian Hymnal (Westminster/John Knox Press), and the African American Heritage Hymnal (GIA Publications, Inc.). Congregational copies of Sing! A New Creation (Faith Alive Christian Resources) are available if needed though it is no longer in the pews. We also have braille copies of Sing! and The Presbyterian Hymnal which can be used upon request. We are hoping to have braille copies of the other two hymnals in the near future.If you are planning a worship service (either in Miller Chapel or elsewhere on campus) and would like to use music that is not published in one of the hymnals available in Miller Chapel, please be aware that copyright permission is needed to reproduce the music or lyrics in a bulletin or song sheet. The Chapel owns copyright licenses from CCLI.com and OneLicense.net. Visit these sites to see if your song falls within one of our licenses. If not, permission must be granted from the publisher, and we are willing to assist in seeking the necessary permissions for your service.

About a 15 minute walk across the train tracks from Brauerei Fässla (where I stayed). Visited on 4/7 and 4/8/2013. Cafe Abseit is a must stop if you are in Bamberg- we went there twice and both times sat at the bar with the owner (Herr Schoolmann) who was very kind and knowledgeable. Food is not traditional Franconian, but was good (I had a great pesto pizza) and the service was friendly and quite helpful (and spoke English). Five or 6 local offerings were available on-tap and all were quite good. Bottle list was somewhat eclectic, but quite solid and reasonable with a nice selection of Belgians (they had Struise Pannepøt - Old Monk's Ale - Pannepeut!); however, I didn't pay much attention as I was more interested in trying the regional drafts. They also had an experimental beer on from Weyermann which was excellent called Adam's Imperial Pilsener. A must stop if you are in Bamberg, and the only establishment we visited that had a traditional bar. The only downside was that the outside biergarten was closed during our visit, due to the season.

I met up with some friends from Bamberg here. There is a small biergarten in the back and then the pub. I sat at the bar until they arrived, then a table.
By far one of the best selections of beer in Germany, if not the best. Just loads of rare and interesting beers. The bartenders are always monitoring your glass so it is also great service.
The atmosphere is a straight-up pub. IT had 70's music, a mix of college students and older people, and generally just a relaxed atmosphere.
It is a must-travel-to place in bamberg.

Cafe Abseits was actually the first place I visited on 27SEP09 while visiting Bamberg and Memmelsdorf. Abseits translates to "out of the way, remote" or, in a sporting sense, "offside". Unsure how they mean it here; perhaps out of the way. There was about an hour between my arriving in Bamberg and my bus to Memmelsdorf, and I was thirsty. I had a rudimentary idea of where Abseits was located, so off I went. My uncanny sense of direction got me here easily.
Located in the rear side of town relating to the Bamberg rail station, Abseits is on the first floor of a large, corner building. It is stonework and a funky pinkish color. You can either enter a front door, leading to a hall which intersects another hall, turning right leading you into the Cafe. Or you may enter around to the left side, which gets right into this second hall and straight in. Once in, to the right is a level about 4 steps down with tables and chairs right at the bright, large front window. On the upper level are some small wall tables and booths. The bar is ahead of you and zig-zags a bit around to the left. Turning left, you'll find a small room in the rear left seating another dozen-plus. There's also a small biergarten in the rear of the building.
The Cafe is fairly dark, overall, save for the front window area. It gives off a divey feel, but it really has quite the comfy vibe once you get settled in. Most walls are dark wood on the bottom half with light painting on the uppers. Bier posters, photos, and paintings adorn the walls. The bar-back has numerous, varied-style glasses as well as a number of different liquors. And though I usually give props to traditional german music when playing, I was happy to hear classic rock filling the air here.
Selection? Wow!! They had perhaps 50 or so choices, most of which originate in the greater Bamberg area. And since there are a shit-load of great little breweries around here, you get a wonderful selection. Want rauchs? Doppelbocks? A schwarzbier or simply a helles? Have at it! The staff was right on top of things and friendly to boot. I would most definitely return here on my next Bamberg visit. Prosit!!

It was early, we had time to kill before heading to Spezial for dinner - we were still full from our sausage plate at Schlenkerla anyway - so I decided to check out this place. It's a pretty long walk from the tourist section of town. It was a bit chilly, so we decided to have a drink inside. It took a while to find the entrance but we finally got there. The bar section was way too smokey - damn smoking bans, it never used to bother me but now that I've been exposed to a non-smoking environment for over a year now, even one dude smoking in a large room bugs me, and everybody seems to smoke in Germany - so we sat in the restaurant section near the front window. Decor is like your local student hangout/pizzeria (lots of bikes in front of the door also suggests this), with posters of upcoming shows and art expositions, specials on blackboards and a few brewery signs.
The selection was pretty solid, over 30 bottles plus a few taps, quite impressive when every other place in town only seems to serve one or two Beers. Andescher, Kulmbacher and a bunch of whom I've never even heard of. My girlfriend was happy to see Federweisser and Prosecco on the menu, almost happy enough to forgive me for the long walk in this very humdrum neighborhood. I went for a tap brew who's name escapes me at the moment, which was a bit dissapointing, it tasted quite oxidized. Maybe that's why it was the "special of the month".
Don't go here for atmosphere or food - unless you're tired enough of eating pork to go for their pasta plates - but if you want a broader taste of German Beers this isn't a bad place.

I stopped in Cafe Abseits on my way back from Maisel Keller (about 15 min. walk). It is also located on the east side of the train tracks, sort of "behind" the train station, but since you cannot get through the station, you have to walk a few blocks around the station as a detour if you are trying to cross over the tracks. "Abseits" means "off sides" (sports term) or "off the beaten track" in German, and likely refers to the location.
Cafe Abseits is set up more like a modern bar than like the more traditional brewpubs in Bamberg. The bar is a sort of zigzag, L-shape, made of wood with stools. There were about 9 tables and one large booth. The place was a bit smokey, but that is to be expected. Various German language newspapers and magazines are at the bar for customers. Large windows face the street and offer nice, natural lighting to the cafe.
The bar offered 5 beers on tap and about 40 bottles. The beer selection was quite good. For example, they offered at least 6 Andechser beers (Bergbock, Doppelbock, Weizenbock, Weizen-Eisbock, Special Hell, and Hefeweissebier Hell). You could sit there all day and just drink Andechser beers. They also had quite a number of regional beers, and had many regional bockbiers as it was bock season. Prices were not bad: 0.5 L Andechser Doppelbock for 2.70 Euros. The beer was served very cold. (The beer menu is available online at their web site.)
They served various coffees and expressos. The food was good, and the menu was ecclectic. I sampled the spicy goulash soup. Yum. The music was at the discretion of the bartender, and on this visit featured a lot of American pop and classic rock (e.g., Eric Clapton and No Doubt). The service was very good and very friendly, and at least one bartender spoke English very well.
This is a great bar, and I wish I had found it sooner. It is not your "traditional" drinking establishment in Bamberg, but the beer selection is really great. I found it to be a very comfortable place.
Finally visited in warm weather and sat outside in the biergarten in the rear. Very nice, laid back. Good service. Then when the garden closes (23:30 or so), the crowd moves inside until closing.
Tried the home made potato chips. Nice!
Have eaten here a couple more times. Good, solid food.

4.3/5 rDev +1.9%
Cafe Abseits has the best beer selection of any pub in Bamberg. It is a modern style bar rather than a traditonal Gaststätte located east of the train station.
They have as regular draft beers Mönchambacher Lager, Keeseman Pils and Andechs Dunkel. They also have one or two (or more during special ocassions such as a bock fest in December) guest beers from some of the smaller breweries in the countryside. When I was there they had Nothelfer Export Dunkel from Alte Klosterbrauerei in Vierzehnheiligen and Weiherer Lager from Brauerei Kundmüller in Weiher. They also have over 20 different beers in bottles, including the full range of Mönchambacher and Andechs, and Aventinus Eisbock.
Food is sort of eclectic mix with pasta, local specialties and what they call "Tex-Mex" --- hey I don't go to Bamberg for Tacos and Chili Poppers :) They also serve breakfast all day. Everything I've had there was tasty. Service was also very good.
It is about a 15 minute walk from the train station (around behind) -- a bit out of the way if you are in the Altstadt, but well worth the walk.

- Valentine won't commit to Interleague plan
- Nava wastes no time making an impact
- Sore heel doesn't keep Papi from playing
- Boston blessed with bullpen depth in Minors
- Thomas lands with rival Yankees
BOSTON -- Fans can pay their final respects to Carl Beane, the Fenway Park public address announcer who died on May 9, at a public memorial service on Wednesday.
Beane, the "Voice of Fenway Park" since 2003, died after suffering a heart attack and crashing his car in Sturbridge, Mass. He was 59.
Beane's family will hold the service at the Sturbridge Host Hotel and Convention Center at 7 p.m. ET The hotel is located at 366 Main Street in Sturbridge.
The Red Sox paid tribute to Beane on Thursday night during the series opener against Cleveland. Before the game, the video board in center field displayed a photo slideshow of Beane's career, and the park's PA system remained silent throughout the night.
Beane's final game was on May 6, when Boston lost to Baltimore in 17 innings.
Valentine won't commit to Interleague plan
BOSTON -- Manager Bobby Valentine was noncommittal on Saturday about a reprise in the outfield for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
Interleague play for the Red Sox begins in six days, when they travel to Philadelphia for a three-game series. To keep David Ortiz's bat in the lineup in a National League park, he'd presumably have to play first base, with Gonzalez moving to right field.
"We'll see as it goes," Valentine said. "Adrian has said that the outfield is an option with him. We'll just decide how that's presenting itself."
Both players made two starts at their less-familiar positions last season.
Red Sox pitchers, meanwhile, have started to work with hitting coach Dave Magadan in preparation for their plate appearances.
"They've been hitting in the cage, and Dave has a program for them to take their swings, getting ready for a little Philadelphia action," Valentine said. "They have a whole session of bunting, and from what I gather, we have some guys who not only like to swing but can swing. There's nothing wrong with getting a hit if they go up there."
Boston went 10-8 in Interleague Play in 2011. Red Sox pitchers went 1-for-21 at the plate, which is one more hit than the Royals, Yankees and A's pitchers had. Orioles arms led the American League with a 9-for-22 performance.
Interleague Play always brings out varying opinions, and Valentine on Saturday said that he might alter the DH implementation if he could.
"The only way I thought that there should be an adjustment is to flip-flop it and have the DH in the National League city and the pitcher hit in the American League city, just for the fans, so that the fans of the different cities could see the different play. But I don't know how you really adjust it. I'm not smart enough for that stuff."
Nava wastes no time making an impact
BOSTON -- Daniel Nava was not invited to Spring Training in 2012, two years removed from his Major League debut. On Thursday he was brought up from Triple-A Pawtucket to give the Sox another left-handed bat in the outfield, and in just two games, he's already stood out.
On Friday the 29-year-old threw out a runner at the plate and made a pair of other fine plays in the field, one on a ball down the line and another off the Green Monster. He's had nine plate appearances and reached six times, four times on walks. Both of his hits have been doubles.
"Pretty consistent. Seems like ... he had one at-bat where he got outside of himself, but he's been pretty consistent," manager Bobby Valentine said of Nava, with whom he's had barely any experience, though Nava played eight games on daily assignment with the big league team this spring.
At Triple-A Pawtucket last season, Nava hit .268. This year he was hitting .310.
"I tried to learn from what happened last year," Nava said. "I really struggled out of the gate in Pawtucket, put a lot of pressure on myself and was pressing, and now I try to do the exact opposite -- just relax and I'm grateful for the opportunities I have."
Defense gained an added emphasis for Nava in Spring Training of 2011, a year he was invited to big league camp.
With Nava, a switch-hitter, playing well, others could lose playing time. On Saturday, for the first time since joining the Red Sox on April 23, outfielder Marlon Byrd was not in the lineup for a second consecutive game. Byrd has a five-game hitting streak.
Asked before the game about the lineup and if there were any health concerns that might be keeping him out, Byrd turned his back and did not reply.
Valentine said before batting practice that he had not had a discussion with Byrd.
"I didn't see him yet," Valentine said. "I went out for the early hitting and he wasn't out there."
Asked about Byrd's defense on Thursday, Valentine said, "He's gotten really good jumps on a lot of balls."
Offensively, Byrd has a .281 average with a .299 on-base percentage in 17 games with the Sox.
"On one ball hit over his head, I thought he did [take a wrong first step] straight back, but I thought he got to it," Valentine said. "And then the ball missed his glove. I'm not sure what to attribute that to. He's playing very hard, though, he's giving us everything he has."
Sore heel doesn't keep Papi from playing
BOSTON -- David Ortiz was back in the starting lineup on Saturday against Cleveland after leaving Friday's game early with soreness in his left heel.
Ortiz exited the contest in the seventh inning when his spot in the batting order came up. He'd bruised the heel while legging out an infield single in the fifth inning.
"Just running down the line, I took a hard step right when I got to the bag, and my heel got sore," Ortiz said. "It wasn't sore before. I just felt it then."
Ortiz has not missed a start in 33 games this season, and he leads the Red Sox with seven home runs and 23 RBIs. He iced the heel after Friday's game.
"I'm OK. It's still a little sore, but I'll try [tonight]," he said.
Manager Bobby Valentine said that Ortiz's health will be closely monitored going forward.
"We have an understanding [that] if he feels anything, if he feels like maybe he should not be swinging, even if it's in the middle of an at-bat, he'll let us know," Valentine said. "But he says he's OK to go, and the training room thinks he's OK to go."
In other injury news, third baseman Kevin Youkilis continues to progress from a strained lower back, and he played catch from 90 feet before Saturday's game.
"He's on the proper schedule, no setbacks," Valentine said. "There is a plan in action."
Youkilis is eligible to return from the 15-day disabled list on Monday, when Boston opens a two-game series against Seattle. Youkilis, who has not played since April 28, was batting .219 with two home runs and nine RBIs in 18 games before the injury.
Boston blessed with bullpen depth in Minors
BOSTON -- The Red Sox bullpen has thrown 113 1/3 innings this season, the second most in the Major Leagues, behind the Royals. The club also has several relievers in the Minors ready to answer the call if needed.
Right-handers Junichi Tazawa, Clayton Mortensen and Mark Melancon are with Triple-A Pawtucket after brief stints in the Majors this year, but they could be back in Boston soon if the bullpen becomes overtaxed.
"I think Tazawa, [Mortensen] and Melancon obviously could pitch in winning games at the end also," manager Bobby Valentine said.
Since April 23, Red Sox relievers lead the Majors in ERA (1.53) and innings (70.2). With so much work thrown the relief corps' way, Valentine believes he has a good feel for what he has.
"I think our depth in that middle is very good," he said. "Middle and towards the end."
But he also believes that Tazawa and Mortensen could start if needed.
"I think so," he said. "Matter of fact, Mortensen was ready to start [in Pawtucket] the day that we called him up [on May 2]. And he pitched plenty up here to not derail those ideas."
Melancon could be the first option should Boston need another reliever. Melancon was optioned to the Minors on April 18 after allowing 11 earned runs in two innings over four appearances.
"[I'm] getting great reports, and I think it's just figuring out the mix and how it is to get him back here," Valentine said. "It's not like we don't want him here, and it's not like he hasn't done what he was supposed to do to go down there. It's a roster situation, it's not a talent situation."
Thomas lands with rival Yankees
NEW YORK -- Left-handed reliever Justin Thomas, whom the Red Sox designated for assignment on Thursday, was claimed by the Yankees on Saturday.
Through seven appearances with the Red Sox, Thomas posted a 7.71 ERA in 4 2/3 innings, walking two and striking out two. Two of those appearances (and one of those runs) came against the Yankees.
Thomas is the second player the Red Sox have lost to an American League East team this season. The Orioles claimed Luis Exposito on April 17.
Thomas also pitched for the Mariners in 2008 and the Pirates in 2010. He has a career ERA of 6.65 in 21 2/3 innings across 27 appearances.

Mexican makeover continues for Chivas USA
JAN 25, 2013 1:55p ET
That trade comes three days after the team dealt midfielder Nick LaBrocca to Colorado for Mexican American midfielder Eric Avila, part of a roster restructuring ordered by new owner Jorge Vergara.
Since October six players from last year's squad have been traded or let go: Juan Pablo Angel and Peter Vagenas were not re-signed, options were declined on Danny Califf and Alejandro Moreno, and LaBrocca and Townsend were traded.
And all six have one thing in common: they aren't eligible for Mexican citizenship.
The reason behind the purge is no secret. Vergara also owns Chivas de Guadalajara of the Mexican league, a team famous for never having used a non-Mexican player in its 106-year history. So now Vergara is packing his Major League Soccer team with players who are eligible to play for his clubs on both sides of the border.
Earlier this month, Chivas USA used its first pick in the 2013 SuperDraft on Mexican American Carlos Alvarez of East Los Angeles. And, with five guests from Guadalajara — Olympic gold medalist Jose Antonio Rodriguez, defender Mario de Luna, midfielder Edgar Mejia, forward Jose Manuel Rivera and former U-17 world champion Giovani Casillas — taking part in Chivas USA's first preseason camp under new head coach José Luis "Chelís" Sánchez Solá, Chivas USA has at least nine players in training who could move freely between the two Chivas rosters.
"That's part of the objective of the club's owner, to obtain players that can do both," Sanchez Sola said in Spanish. "There are a lot of Mexicans on many teams in this league.
And there are many more playing in Mexico. Vergara wants Guadalajara and the United States [club] — within his objectives — to be a filter for those players, that they pass through here. Because later on it is too difficult to be able to get players from Guadalajara; it is really difficult to get them."
Last season Chivas had just one player — Mexican American defender Jorge Villafana — who could have played for both Chivas teams.
More changes are expected since the club has said former MLS All-Star Shalrie Joseph of Grenada does not have a future with the team despite being under contract, while midfielder Oswaldo Minda is apparently in line for a return home to Ecuador.
Townsend, 23, the fifth pick in last year's draft, played 17 games for Chivas USA in 2012, scoring once and notching two assists.

The FDA is alerting health providers across the U.S. who received products from the New England Compounding Center (NECC) about new recommendations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concerning the multistate outbreak of fungal meningitis.
"2 years ago no one had heard of this company," John Chaney, a pharmacist, said. "It's an outspring of the drug shortages we have been talking about."
This second recall from the NECC includes all products produced at the facility.
"In a case like this, it becomes less about the detective work to find out what happened," Dr. Erica Kaufman, an infectious disease specialist, said. "It's more about the very tedious work of tracking patients, tracking lot numbers, and going through medications."
The FDA released a list of facilities that receive products from NECC.
Local facilities include:
Because of concern about possible contamination of additional medications, the FDA is requesting health providers contact patients who meet all the following criteria:
Names and address of facilities that received products from NECC.
Complete list of all products subject to the recall.
The FDA provides the following advice for customers, patients, and healthcare professionals.
Advice to NECC Customers
Customers identified on these lists should check their stocks to identify whether they have any products from the New England Compounding Center (NECC), and they should immediately isolate any identified product from their drug supplies. All NECC products are subject to voluntary recall. Customers with product on hand should contact NECC at 1-800-994-6322 or via fax at 508-820-1616 to obtain instructions on how to return products to NECC.
Advice to Patients
Patients who believe they received an injection or other product that was shipped by NECC on or after May 21, 2012 should remain vigilant for the signs and symptoms of infection, and contact their health care provider if they are concerned. The meningitis outbreak has occurred in patients who received injections near the spine (back or neck). The signs and symptoms of meningitis include fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea and vomiting, photophobia (sensitivity to light) and altered mental status. Symptoms for infections following other types of injections at other body sites may vary, and are not limited to meningitis. Other possible infections at other parts of the body (e.g., peripheral joints) may include fever; swelling, increasing pain, redness, warmth at an injection site; visual changes, pain, redness or discharge from the eye; chest pain, or drainage from the surgical site (infection within the chest). Patients should contact their healthcare provider if they have any of these signs or symptoms.
Patients who received an NECC product prior to May 21, 2012 and who have not experienced symptoms of infection to date are at less risk of infection because of the amount of time that has elapsed since that date. FDA is not recommending these patients follow-up with their healthcare providers unless they are experiencing symptoms of infection.
Advice to Healthcare Professionals
FDA advises healthcare professionals to follow-up with patients who have been administered an injectable product shipped by NECC on or after May 21, 2012, including an ophthalmic drug that is injectable or used in conjunction with eye surgery, or a cardioplegic solution. FDA does not urge patient follow-up at this time for NECC products of lower risk such as topicals (for example, lotions, creams, eyedrops not used in conjunction with surgery) and suppositories, or for patients who may have received an NECC product in these categories before May 21, 2012. Patients who received an NECC product prior to May 21, 2012 and who have not experienced symptoms of infection to date are at less risk of infection because of the amount of time that has elapsed since that date. FDA is not recommending that healthcare providers follow-up with these patients unless they have reported symptoms of infection.
Health care professionals should retain and secure all remaining products purchased from NECC. All NECC products are subject to voluntary recall. Clinics or customers with product on hand should contact NECC at 1-800-994-6322 or via fax at 508-820-1616 to obtain instructions on how to return products to NECC.
Clinicians and patients are also requested to report any suspected adverse events following use of these products to FDA's MedWatch program at 1-800-332-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Healthcare professionals and patients may dial FDA's Drug Information Line at 855-543-DRUG (3784) and press * to get the most recent information regarding the meningitis recall and speak directly to a pharmacist.
If you have identified NECC customers who received product that do not appear on these lists, please contact FDA's Drug Information Line to report this problem.
FDA continues its investigation and may issue additional public communications as appropriate.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) - According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company that bought Gov. Nathan Deal's auto salvage business owes $73.8 million in sales and use taxes.
Texas-based vehicle auction company, Copart Inc., bought Gainesville Salvage Disposal from Deal and his business partner, Ken Cronan, for about $4.1 million earlier this year.
The Georgia Department of Revenue audited the company between Jan. 1, 2007 and June 30, 2011. Officials say aside from the back taxes, Copart Inc. owes interest and penalties.
Deal's attorney, Randy Evans, tells the Gainesville Times the sale was arranged through a blind trust and he was unaware of the issue until late last week.
Copart has appealed the audit with the Department of Revenue.

Pam Bondi Pursues Health Care Reform Lawsuit listen11/02/10 Kimberly Vlach
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday Listen to this entire show:
Republican nominee for state attorney general Pam Bondi says itâs important to continue with the multi-state lawsuit against the federal health care reform law passed last March.

Controversial UFC star Vitor Belfort has finally spoken about his use of testosterone replacement therapy just as the California State Athletic Commission had decided to forbid the practice.
Daniel Cormier, Chad Mendes, Jorge Masvidal and Ramsey Nijem are all suspended for 180 days for injuries following UFC on Fox 7. Here's the complete suspension list from the CSAC.
UFC Light Heavyweight Dan Henderson has permission to use testosterone replacement therapy but the controversial implications of that exemption seem to have drawn little notice from commentators....

Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer anticipates being able to license Chael Sonnen to face Anderson Silva at UFC 148.

Friends hold vigil for 'a little spitfire'
When the mourners arrived for their vigil Monday, a Bethlehem police crime scene van was still parked outside Trisha Sadler's house and yellow police tape was stretched around the yard. The thudding of a nail gun came from inside as some city workers finished putting up plywood to cover windows shattered in Friday's long standoff.

I've been watching wrestling since the 80's when Backlund was the champ and before Rocky III made Hogan a star and I've stuck with it through the ups and downs...But these days it's just getting on my nerves.
There's so many things that make me scratch my head...
No mid-card title on Smackdown...So then tell me what purpose do the mid-card guys have if not vying for a belt? Or rather, what chance do they have of getting a better push?
Which brings me to my next point. Mr. Kennedy. This guy has the potential to be a top character in the company because he's a good worker and has great mic skills (let's face it...All you need to be a star in the WWE is good mic skills) and yet they've fucked him booking him every step of the way. First of all, this guy won a Money in the Bank match which means he was poised for either a WWE or World Title reign...He gets mis-diagnosed for an injury and they make him drop it to Edge...When they find out he'll only be out for a month and a half they SHOULD have had him go right after Edge, but instead they put him on Raw. Uhm...OK...Then week after week he jobs out to nearly everyone on the roster...
Then they turn him face for no good reason, have him take out Regal, build him up on Raw and then dump him on Smackdown with NO MID-CARD BELT! Ok, fine. Build him up here as a face then find a way for him to bring the belt back. Nope, they basically had him squashed by Umaga both on TV and a dark match before the Bash.
What the fuck are they doing with him?
CM PUNK is champ? Not a fan of the guy but fuck it, let's run with it...Oh wait, this guy wins the belt like a bitch, and then hasn't had a SINGLE successful (I mean clean) title defense since he won the belt. Do they know that they put the title on someone who doesn't appear to be able to do it on his own? Terrible, terrible writing/booking.
The ONLY thing they're doing right is Jericho.
Absolutely agree with you. I would like to see things work with Punk, but creative is just jerking everyone around so far.
It's obvious they don't have any real confidence in CM yet, though the beating he gave Batista Monday night made me think that he could be more than a contender for a belt he already has. On the negative side of that beating, it was unbelievable because the work made me wonder if Batista could wrestle at all, he was jobbing so hard!
With Kennedy, I was royally pissed when he was drafted back to Smackdown. Who's retarded idea was that? After Kennedy's been pushed, he's minimized, pushed (?), then minimized, well...who did he piss off? We all know that politics rule in WWE.
Santino is the funniest guy in the company IMO. Now he's suckin' face with Beth Phoenix? What?

I can't believe I forgot Santino...The guy is a comedic genuis...He's way too funny to keep a heel though and they'll fuck that up too.

They probably will mess it up. I can't imagine Santino turning face again, unless they do a face/heel like they did with Piper, Flair, etc. He's a heel, but over, you know? I just don't know.
I sure as hell don't want him to lose to everyone just because it's funny, though, which is what they've been doing with him for months...oh hey, look!
messing it up!

They had better do something good with this Mike Adamle (is that even possible?), or I may stop watching for awhile.
When it was announced, my wife turned to me and said 'What? Who's
Then, I had to explain that he's the guy who botches the names of wrestlers when he calls matches.

Raw had me and then they lost me.
The worse part is, in the aftermath of all this, now everyone on the Wrestlecrap board is lining up to blow Adamle. The fact that they're making him the head of Raw is a slap in the face of the people who are working hard behind the scenes. The guy's a melonhead, pure and simple.
At a certain point, a joke ends up being not funny. My dislike for the man will never let me like him, no matter how he turns out as a character. Seriously, fuck him, and fuck Raw.
Oh, and Batista and Cena are now tag champs because they're facing each other at Summerslam.
Thank god for Ring Of Honor.

I'm soooo sick of Shawn Micheals!!!!!!!
Really, I swear if the guy "loses" his smile one more time I'll have to hunt him down myself!!
Great for Jericho, at the moment. 'Cause you know it's coming, they'll bury Jericho with shawn. They should let this thing go on for several months, unresolved or with Jericho constantly going over....but I doubt that'll happen. I mean come on, I was shocked when Jecricho went over in the first place (even though that's what I wanted).
Dear Shawn,
Please go the F^^K away. Thank you
That's sad to say too. I was a HUGE Micheals fan back in the day. Ever since the Rockers I've always liked him. Until his return. He just isn't the same, to worried about GOD instead of whats good for buisness.
And don't give me no "It's good to see someone take a stand." Because someone else already took that stand years ago.....and he got screwed......and shawn was involved.

Coach left to pursue the job. Foley's gone, too, and should be appearing on TNA anytime now, depending on when or if his 90-day no compete clause kicks in, if he has one.
The rumor is both were sick of Vince yelling at them in their headsets when they were doing PBP.

Welp, they dropped the ball again.
I mean seriously, this thing has been building up for weeks.....and the suits let us down.
For the past couple of months this angle has been the most entertaining thing going on RAW. Every single week I look forward to the angle to see what's going to happen next
Then they just abruptly end the angle. Of course I'm talking about Santino Marella's quest to be the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all times! This angle has provided me with so many laughs and kept me awake (unlike seeing Shawn Micheals for the billionth time). How can you beat the Honk-a-meter? Well, you get the Honka-Perfect-Mountie-meter of course!
Then just out of the blue they let Regal win it.
I really expected Santino to keep the title for a long time. I would have booked it to last right up to the last minute, and have a huge upset the week before he tied the record.....maybe even letting Honkytonk Man himself win the title for a short (very short) run.
Who else is sick and tired of 72 Cena promos per show? And a championship match the night of his return......soon as they announced that I knew Jericho would win it back so Cena and Batista can fued over it down the road.
Speaking of Jericho, please stop wearing the trunks and go back to the long tights, you look like an AssClown.
So, they've decided to make Jeff Hardy edgier by turning him into a Joker type character?
if it works. I've always liked the Hardys, and loved that he went over the Undertaker this week and goes up against HHH next week.

Yeah, there's a lot of balls that WWE is dropping lately. I just fear what's Christian's final fate there is going to be like (hint: flunky to either Edge or Jericho).

Okay, I'm 99% done with RAW.
Thank you, Thank you clumsy ass for returning and ruining everything. And thank you Vince, thank you for loosing your touch on reality and giving pushes and titles to people who don't deserve it. Thank you for shoving Cena down our throats and out our ass's. I wish no real ill will toward they guy, just sick of him, he's worse than Hogan during the 80's.
At least Smackdown keeps it interesting. I'll stick with the new flagship 'cause RAW is just slipping faster and faster into becoming WCW Thunder!!!

S&P, Moody's Face an 'Existential Threat'
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- How bad could it get for ratings agencies Standard & Poor's (owned by McGraw-Hill (MHP)) and Moody's (MCO) now that the Department of Justice is suing S&P on fraud charges and state attorneys general including Eric Schneiderman of New York appear to be ready to dig in for a legal fight?
Many on Wall Street appear to feel renewed scrutiny on the bubbly pre-crisis ratings handed out by the likes of S&P and Moody's will fizzle, just like toxic real estate and structured securities they gave high ratings to.
Still, firms face an "existential threat," as the prospect of federal and civil fraud charges on pre-crisis ratings overhangs the bond-rating industry, according to Mark Palmer, an analyst at brokerage firm BTIG.
In fact, Palmer sees ratings agencies facing the same risks as Arthur Andersen, the accounting firm that failed in the wake of the bankruptcy of Enron, which imploded because of widespread accounting fraud.The conflict of opinion is highlighted both in Moody's earnings Friday and a brewing battle between Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) and David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital Management. Moody's reported fourth-quarter revenue rose 33% to $754.2 million, while operating income increased by an even greater 51%. Still, the rating agency's impressive numbers amid an end-of-year bond-market surge didn't impress investors, and Moody's shares fell. The selloff likely has more to do with reports from Bloomberg and Reuters that the DoJ may yet consider a suit against Moody's and that state attorney generals are already preparing litigation. So how bad could it get? BTIG's Palmer says S&P, Moody's and Fitch Ratings may eventually disappear if federal or civil fraud charges are proven. That's what happened to Enron's auditor, Arthur Andersen. The key, according to Palmer, is that a potential admission of fraud would render the opinions of an agency worthless. ["We] believe a fraud conviction would not only be a threat to the agencies' business prospects, but an existential threat as well. Talk about downside risk," Palmer writes in a Feb. 7 note to clients. Notably, Palmer sees the prospect that the demise of pre-crisis industry leaders comes as a result of emerging competition, a scenario many appear to consider unlikely. "Some have argued that [Moody's and S&P], which have a virtual oligopoly in the credit-ratings space, are too large and too ingrained in global finance to simply go away," Palmer says. "We believe that if one or both of the firms went the way of Arthur Andersen, then upstart rating agencies with untarnished reputations such as Morningstar, Kroll and A.M. Best could rise up to take their place," the analyst said. Palmer, who appears to be sifting through the remnants of post-crisis muck on Wall Street for contrarian investment recommendations, sees potential legal risks as more extreme than Bank of America (BAC), which is laden with litigation centered on the housing bust. Currently, Palmer sees a positive outcome for monoline bond insurers such as MBIA (MBI) in winning legal battles against the banking industry for toxic securities. "BofA will settle, Moody's is facing a different set of circumstances," Palmer said in an interview Thursday, noting that any admission of fraud by a rating agency would open the door to a flurry of litigation. That mirrors the argument of Einhorn, a noted short-seller who's ruffled the feathers of tech giant Apple (AAPL) in recent days. While the DoJ's efforts appear to be targeted at S&P, for now, it and competitors Moody's (MCO) and Fitch Ratings will face scrutiny in civil fraud lawsuits set to hit courtrooms this month.

CRAFT0October 17th, 2012Beer and travel, Pubs & bars
The first time I visited it was a chilly September night. S and I navigated our way via smartphone to find ATJ neck deep in a chalice of something golden and fizzy. We followed suit, once we'd navigated the smorgasbord of beers on the bar, each rarer and more expensive than the last.
The second time I visited I waited patiently for my date, having used a combination of memory and verrrryyy sllloooww loading Google maps. A local glazier kept me entertained until J's arrival, mostly with his Phil Mitchell innuendo and flashing of his big wad of cash. I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray, but I duly accepted a pint with nothing more than dirty water on my hands.
The third time I turned up on my tod and with no prospect of kinship. Alone amongst a sea of pump clips and trendy bearded bar staff, with only an empty hotel room and an empty evening ahead, I clinked my change together until I could afford a Mikkeller and sunk back into a chair with a book and a weary head.
Only one thing joins the dots between these visits and that's that each time a decision was made in advance.
'Meet you in Craft?'
If ever a pub didn't need a description of its tall curvaceous fonts, its terrifyingly eclectic mix of beer (37 draft beers including 16 hand pulls), its exposed floorboard and its trendy use of typefaces, then this is it.
There is no doubt, Craft is a pub that you decide to go because its somewhere worth going.
And next time I'm in London I'll surely be going back.Tags: clerkenwell, craft london, london pubs

It would be wonderful if all the guys on the team lived up to our loftiest expectations and the whole team shocked the world with an amazing season next year. However, odds are stacked against that happening. Chances are some things will go wrong and some guys will not do as well as we are expecting. Here's some of our picks.
Summer Forecast: Room for improvement - Boston Celtics Blog - ESPN Boston
Bill Sy, CelticsBlog (Jared Sullinger)
I don't think there's a player that's going to respond better to negative press than Sullinger, so yeah, I'm going to say Sully. But seriously, a lot of his success last season came as the last option in the offense that included Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. He was a terror on the offensive boards and got a lot of buckets on put backs and kick out jumpers. This fall, if his back is healthy, he'll be featured more and I'm predicting a little bit of a sophomore slump with the added pressure. Can he be a 15 and 10 guy as one of the primary scorers on a rebuilding team? Yes, Sullinger has the skills to become a very good player in this league, but it may take a full season and another summer for him to mature.
Kevin O'Connor, CelticsBlog (Jeff Green)
Don't get me wrong, I think Jeff Green will have a very good season, but many fans expect him to be a guy that can carry the load night in and night out. I have read comments around the Internet suggesting that Green could average over 25 points per game but I don't see it. With around 15-to-16 shots per game, it's realistic that he could average a tick over 20, but that still would be underwhelming in a lot of fan's eyes. Again, this isn't a knock on Green, but he is one player I see with potential sky-high expectations on a team that really isn't anticipated to do much.
Jeff Clark, CelticsBlog (Jeff Green):
I suppose it depends on what you define as "expectations." I've seen some project Jeff Green as an All Star 20 points per game scorer. He's got that kind of potential, but he might only be capable (over the long term) of being a 2nd or 3rd option guy. If so, that's going to disappoint a lot of people.
What do you think?

I need to send an email regarding custom duty to one of our customers.
Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your support and quick reply. Our Customer is agreed to pay 1% Custom duty. If custom duty is below 1% also you can charge them 1%. That is your extra margin. They need only confirmation from us that we will only charge 1% custom duty. Not more than 1%. Is it possible.?

So I need help making a 2nd round pick for the Panthers at #40. Assume we already selected DT Fletcher Cox at #9 and now the top 10 players remaining ont he board are as follows:
DE Nick Perry - Many think he is better suited as a 3-4 OLB but after watching him run the drills at the combine he doesn't looks a little stiff and thick to play OLB. Since he also has his weight up a little, by design I hope, I'm thinking he is more suited as a 4-3 DE but reminds me too much of Everette Brown
DT Brandon Thompson - I like him at this spot but hard to take a double dip at DT
LB Lavonte David - A true WLB David was able to get his weight up over 230 and keep his speed. Many say he's not much bigger than many safeties in the NFL, which is very reminiscent of the path Thomas Davis took.
More candidates and a poll after the jump...
CB Josh Robinson - It's hard to argue the need for a CB across from Chris Gamble. The only question is whether any of those left on the board are woth the #40.
CB Jaron Holsey - Same as Robinson above, Holsey is a little smaller and not quite as fast.

Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves.
With gentle honesty, they are there to guide

Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.

How can you use them to solve the world's most pressing problems?
Our research and coaching helps you find the careers in which you can make the most difference.
Some of the paths open to you have far more impact than others. That's why we aim to seek out the most high impact opportunities in the world, and help you take them.
It's difficult to know which paths to making a difference really work. That's why we work with academics at Oxford and leaders in prioritisation research, and base our findings on our own in-depth research.
Some common ways to make a difference, like becoming a doctor, don't make as much difference as you might first think. That's because the work of many doctors and other professionals is replaceable. We seek out the opportunities that have the greatest true impact.
How can you go about working out in which causes you can have the most impact? Start using our framework for assessing causes.
What are your most high impact career opportunities? Start using our framework for assessing careers.
Having trouble tying it all together? Start by using our career model.

Rush's Limelight featured in New Yorker satire piece on The Newer, Sexier Constitutions
The New Yorker's Zev Borow posted a satirical piece on The Newer, Sexier Constitutions to the magazine's website today. The article references a new study showing that the U.S. Constitution is losing its appeal as a model for constitutional drafters because of the availability of newer, sexier and more powerful models. From the article:
Canada has ratified the first update to its Charter of Freedoms and Rights since its adoption in 1982. Based on the song "Limelight" by its most famous native sons, the prog-rock band Rush, it protects Canadians' pursuit of "the universal dream"-provided that, as the song says, citizens "put aside the alienation, get on with the fascination, the real relation, the underlying theme."
