A short description about your current occupation/grad school:
I am currently a first year law student at University of Idaho College of Law. My emphasis is on Public Interest Law. I am also involved in school activities, such as President of Latino Law Student Association, Alternative Spring Coordinator for Public Interest Law Group, and am a member of the Diversity Committee for the College of Law.
A short description of your career path:
I aspire to work for a non-profit organization to represent the most vulnerable low-income persons and empower them to bring about change in their communities. I would like to focus in the areas of Employment, Housing, and Immigration Law. My advisor (Professor Englekirk) always was very supportive of my career goals and helped me plan what classes I should take that would prepare me not only for law school, but employment opportunities as well.
What has been most valuable to you from your Gonzaga education?
Gonzaga offered me the opportunity to take a wide range of classes that gave me a well rounded and balanced education. The core requirements such as Philosophy, Religious Study, Science, Speech, English, Mathematics, were challenging but gave me a great foundation which I benefited from when I took upper division courses and even now in law school. I learned how to think critically, analyze thoroughly, and write persuasively; these are invaluable in my career. The degree I earned at Gonzaga has opened the doors to many employment opportunities.
Is there anything else about your Gonzaga experience you would like to share?
I am the first in my family to have graduated from high school, graduate from college, and now attend law school. My parents, who are both monolingual Spanish speakers and only received a grade-school education, instilled in me the importance of an education, an incredible work ethic, and have always supported me in all my educational endeavors. They are my motivation to pursue a legal education. Gonzaga gave me an education and experience that will influence and benefit my life no matter where I go and what I'm doing. Gonzaga gives you the opportunity to pursue any aspiration you have. For example, some friends and I were able to found a Latino Student organization, La Raza Latina, which gave us great leadership experience and is still thriving. I'm very proud to be a Gonzaga Alumna and am happy to share my experience every opportunity I get!

Politics and Science
As I was catching up on my podcast backlog over lunch, I listened to an MPR Midmorning episode broadcast last week. The discussion centered around Science Debate 2008's efforts to get the presidential candidates to answer questions about US science policy. Although the discussion was shorter than it should have been due to Pledge Drive breaks, the guests still had time to make a pretty good case for why science and technology policy is at least as important as economic or foreign policy.

You can find out about the Fund's new Chief Executive, Dawn Austwick and how the changes in our England operations will improve the way that we engage with local areas in future. We also remind you how, across England, Big Lottery Fund investments are helping people make a difference on the issues that matter most to them. Ceri Doyle Interim Chief Executive, Big Lottery Fund Since January 2013 the Big Lottery Fund has awarded hundreds of grants in the North East region totalling £38,883,919 In this issue: Dawn Austwick appointed as Big Lottery Fund's new CEO Changing the way we support local communities in England Big Lottery Fund open to applications Awards for All Reaching Communities Dawn Austwick appointed as Big Lottery Fund's new CEO Dawn Austwick joins the Fund from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, an organisation that she has successfully led since 2005. Dawn was previously Deputy Director of the British Museum and before that a project manager at the Tate Modern. She has also been a consultant at KPMG and theatre manager at the Half Moon Theatre in east London. She is also a trustee at Historic Royal Palaces, the charity that looks after buildings including the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace. Dawn said that she is "relishing the opportunity to build on the Fund's impact to date in ways that bring lasting benefits to communities and quality of life throughout the UK". She will take up her position in Autumn 2013. Dawn's predecessor, Peter Wanless stepped down in May after 5 years at the Fund to take up the position of Chief Executive at the NSPCC. Under Peter's leadership the Fund has made significant strides towards becoming a more efficient and cost effective funder. Peter was also passionate about impact and ensuring that the money we spend is making a lasting difference to the lives of people and communities most in need. Changing the way we support local communities in England The Big Lottery Fund has made a number of changes to our structure across England to improve our local reach and to ensure our funding continues to focus on people and communities most in need. New local presence teams across England have been put in place so that we are even more responsive to local needs, increase our engagement with local stakeholders and support communities to find solutions to local problems. Your local team will be in touch with you shortly to let you know what support they can offer you and your constituents. Big Lottery Fund open to applications We are keen to raise awareness of Big Lottery Fund opportunities within your constituency.

Awards for All Awards for All continues to kick start an amazing array of community projects across the UK with hundreds of awards made every month. Awards for All funds projects between £300 and £10,000 and it is open to applications throughout the year.

Grants cover organisations core costs for up for five years and range from £10,000 to £500,000. The programme also pays for capital projects of up to £50,000 across England and up to £500,000 in the most deprived areas in England. Reaching Communities is open all year round and is popular with national organisations, as well as small local groups. We have recently been reviewing the programme based on customer feedback and will be tweaking the programme over the summer in order to make it even more responsive to the needs of our customers. More information will be sent nearer the time. Read our factsheets with information on our funding

RYAN VREDE reports on the Crusaders' 28-13 victory over the Bulls in which they were never stretched by the bumbling and lethargic South Africans.
Hail the play-off kings. The 15-point margin of defeat flatters the Bulls. Not for a minute did the Crusaders look like their imposing record in the knock-out stages would be tarnished. They were dominant in every facet of play, supremely so.
Their method was pragmatic and if there was anything spectacular about this performance it was found in the unfailing accuracy with which they execute a simple game plan. Add a measure of individual flair and you had a cocktail that incapacitated the Bulls. This was a statement performance that should concern their semi-final opponents.
For the Bulls, there is no shame in losing to the Crusaders in Christchurch. Indeed those who believed they would break their drought in the city had no real base for that belief. This Bulls side is vastly inferior, lacking the calibre of players and experience to have harboured serious ambitions of an upset.
However, while the result was not surprising, the quality of their error-strewn performance certainly was. They fed Dan Carter with kickable opportunities and paid the ultimate price, the flyhalf racking up 18 points with his boot.
It would be remiss not to credit the Crusaders for the manner in which they blunted the Bulls' attacking intent. Physical, often brutal, and consistently accurate in defence, they simply bullied their visitors into submission. They owned the gainline, and the Bulls were rarely able find the space or time they needed to roll out their game plan. Consequently they were made to look rudderless for large periods of the contest, with their struggles compounded by the injury-enforced replacement of Chiliboy Ralepelle (10th minute), Bjorn Basson (37th) and Akona Ndungane (43rd).
Conversely the Crusaders were able to control the game's flow, tempo and territory, with their halfback pair of Dan Carter and Andy Ellis orchestrating matters. The Bulls were unable to quell the Crusaders' heavies in close quarters and conceded a string of penalties, two of which Carter banked before he added a conversion after expertly putting Zac Guilford through a hole in the defensive line with a perfectly timed pass.
Carter sunk a right-footed drop goal shortly thereafter to give his side a comfortable lead, but the hosts would have been acutely aware of their failings in the red zone which meant the Bulls were still alive at 16-3 going down the tunnel.
Carter capitalised on ill-discipline which has been a depressing feature of the Bulls' campaign, kicking six more points just after the restart. But the Bulls found some groove, scoring through Dewald Potgieter after a powerful rolling maul.
The Crusaders were content to revert to a holding pattern, punching up through their forwards or inviting the Bulls to attack from deep by kicking in behind their back three. There would be no telling rebuttal from the three-time champions outside of a late Wynand Olivier try that served only to add a dash of respectability to the scoreline.
Crusaders – Try: Zac Guilford. Conversion: Carter. Penalty: Dan Carter (6), Drop goal: Carter
Bulls – Try: Dewald Potgieter, Wynand Olivier. Penalty: Morne Steyn

Final salute to USS Ford at Naval Station Everett

The Oliver Perry-class frigate, one of three based at Naval Station Everett, is scheduled to be towed next week to the Bremerton shipyards where it will be used for parts or prepared for sale to another country. The Ford's 130 crew members have been reassigned to other ships and duty stations. The frigate is to be replaced in Everett by a destroyer next year as part of the Navy's long-term plan for the naval station. The Ford was based in Everett for nearly 20 years.
"The USS Ford served on national and international missions," Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson said. "We are grateful for the services of the ship and its sailors."
Hundreds of people attended the decommissioning ceremony, including a dozen members of the family of Patrick Osborne Ford, the ship's namesake.
Ford, a 26-year-old sailor who served as a river patrol boat gunner, was killed in 1968 on the My Tho River in Vietnam. Naval officials said that, faced with a barrage of enemy machine-gun fire, Ford tenaciously maintained a steady stream of return fire. Ford saved the lives of wounded shipmates, getting them out of harm's way before trying to escape himself. In recognition of his bravery, the Navy posthumously awarded Ford the Navy Cross.
When the frigate's keel was laid in 1983 at Todd Shipyard in San Pedro, Calif., it was named for Patrick Ford.
For Ford's nieces and nephews, who traveled from the Midwest, the ceremony was a sad, but gratifying event. One nephew, Navy veteran Robert Ford, whose own son, also named Patrick, is in Navy basic training. The family met with many current sailors and some of the men who had served with their uncle in Vietnam.
Joe Mettler, 68, of Burlington, trained with Ford and fought with him in southeast Asia. Mettler gave his buddy's niece Patricia Ford Ivey, 45, a big hug and tried not to cry.
Ivey thanked Mettler for coming.
"Our father, who died in 2000, was so proud that the USS Ford had been named for his brother," Ivey said. "It was a point of pride in our family because many of us have served in the military. My uncle was a true war hero."
Though the USS Ford will soon be gone, said another niece, Mary Ford Jones, the legacy of Patrick Ford will live on in the sailors who lived and worked on the ship.
Former Petty Officer 3rd Class Frank Dominguez, 45, of New Mexico, agreed. He served on the Ford from 1991 through 1994.
"It's crazy," Dominguez said. "We grew up on this ship. We were fresh out of high school and we learned to be men on the Ford."
Among the men who were the first sailors, called "plank owners," to serve aboard the USS Ford was former Petty Officer 3rd class Jeff Ray, 47, who attended the ceremony from his home in Vancouver, Wash.
"The plank owners have been planning our reunion for eight months," Ray said. "We being enlisted guys serving on the Ford, which was named for an enlisted man, that made a real difference to us. We had something to live up to. We were tenacious."
The Ford's final commanding officer, Cmdr. Joseph Shuler, a Bellevue native, and former commanding officer Capt. David Matawitz, now retired from the Navy, spoke during the ceremony.
Matawitz, who guided the Ford from 2001 to 2003, talked about the maneuverability and capability of the frigate class.
He then shifted his focus to what the ship meant to him.
"I wonder, with all the life, sweat, joy and tears put into this ship, does it really cease to live after the last sailor departs today? Did they not impart some of their fearless spirit, tenacity and can-do attitude to this ship? Have the captains not left something of themselves in this steel hull called Ford?" Matawitz said. "The Ford is us. We have made her more than a ship. Part of her is always alive in our hearts."

Banish brassy blonde tones
One of our founders and product inventors, Mark Constantine is a master trichologist (that's a fancy word for a hair expert). He created our ingenious violet-scented Daddy-O shampoo for himself, and then decided to share it with those with gray or blond hair, who also want brighter and healthier looking locks, without dull, brassy tones. An infusion of fresh citrus juices and seaweed gives your hair softness and shine, while the violet leaf, rose and bergamot oils create a scent that stays on your hair throughout the day.
- Silver foxes need apply: Created for platinum tones and gray hair, Daddy-O works wonders on all hair types and is lovely on brunettes.
- Va va violet: Violet absolute gives that familiar violet scent and a fresh green note to the shampoo.
- Floral bouquet: Rose absolute, violet leaf, bergamot and cananga oil give our shampoo its lovely fragrance.

Q:I'm thinking of picking this up for my mother to try. Currently, her hair is a very short pixie with about 50% grey, but she is a natural brunette. She's wanting something to brighten up her grey since it's looking rather dull, would this be a good product for her?Asked on 4/4/2015 by Endlessly from Minnesota

A:Daddy-O could be a great shampoo to try. It was designed for blond and grey hair. While the fresh citrus juices will help brighten the grey, the seaweed helps give the hair extra softness and shine.Answered on 4/5/2015 by Myriam
Q:I've got blonde highlights in my black hair, I recently used CACA NOIR on my hair which turned the blonde to a light brown.. will using Daddy-O cause my highlights to lighten again?Asked on 3/11/2015 by LushFANATIC from Australia
3 answers
A:I have blond hair that is colored with light highlights. After using this shampoo, I did not notice my color to change, this only made my hair shiny.Answered on 3/11/2015 by Anonymous
A:While Daddy-O is designed to brighten light hair, it actually works by removing brassiness. I can't say that it will lighten your hair, but it will make any light colors more ashy as purple cancels out yellow on the color wheel.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
A:It may...I am growing out my gray and have some leftover highlights from
blending out my root line. The Daddy-O has brightened both the gray and the
highlights. They might not be as bright as they were before, but they will
brighten up a bit for sure!Answered on 3/11/2015 by Anonymous
Q:My hair is blonde but I have bits purple in my hair. So, would this by any chance make the purple more purple? I don't know I thought maybe because the shampoo is purple... :)Asked on 11/25/2014 by Im a cat :3
3 answers
A:The purple in this shampoo helps to counteract any brassiness from occurring in blonds, it won't help make your hair more purple. In fact, because of the presence of lime, lemon and seaweed ingredients I wouldn't recommend it for colour-treated hair other than blonds as these ingredients are naturally stripping and you may notice some changes in colour.Answered on 11/26/2014 by Anonymous
A:No it will not. Basically it will help keep your blonde hair it's own color. It's great stuff.Answered on 11/26/2014 by Anonymous
A:This shampoo will not make your hair purple or enhance any "purpleness".
Hope that helps!

Q:About how much should I use each time because knowing me, I'm probably gonna end up accidentally using too much and being rid of it in like a week xD
By the way, the smell is HEAVENLY omg i couldn't stop sniffing my hair when i first tried this shampooAsked on 4/28/2014 by Miley from Los Angeles
2 answers
A:Depending on your hair texture, length, and thickness, I'd say start with about a quarter size and work from there. Add more if necessary!Answered on 5/3/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I bought the big bottle and it's lasting for ages! I typically alternate it with another shampoo and use this around once a week. I use enough to get a decent lather going (about the size of one of the lush lip balm tins). I always use way too much shampoo though and have long hair, so you could probably use much less. My tip would be rub it between your hands first to get the lather going then put it on your head and continue to lather up. If you are just applying directly to your hair and trying to lather from scratch I noticed I used more shampoo.
Hope this helps

Q:How many uses of this shampoo can you get out of the smallest bottle?
Answers as soon as possible would be great!!!Asked on 4/26/2014 by Shaniqua Diamondzz from Detroit
2 answers
A:It really depends on how much you use and how often you wash your hair. A little goes a long way with our shampoos because they don't contain any water, so you can expect the little bottle to last longer than you expect!Answered on 5/3/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:My large bottle lasted through about 75 uses. I have a lot of hair and it's thick, so I thought I'd need to use a ton, but I didn't. It's a great product.—

Q:If I use this together with the Marilyn hair treatment, will they work together to lighten my hair?Asked on 4/25/2014 by Kingsley from Green Bay, WI
1 answer
A:The Daddy-O Shampoo and Marilyn will brighten dull and brassy tones. It may not lighten your hair but it'll make your hair look healthier and brighter. The brightening effect will make your hair look lighter in a sense.Answered on 5/3/2014 by Jeanine from LUSH Direct
Q:Can I use this hair for brown hair, will it make it lighter?Asked on 11/11/2013 by Lauren
3 answers
A:You can definitely use this on brown hair! It shouldn't change the color, but if you love the smell, go for it!Answered on 11/15/2013 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I have light to medium brown hair with natural subtle blonde highlights as
well as having thinner hair. Daddy-O is one of my favorite shampoos from
LUSH for multiple reasons. First off it smells AMAZING! Second, it does
take the brassiness out of the blond highlights and makes them pop a bit
more in contrast to my more brown hair. It also gives my hair a nice
healthy shine. I have used Daddy-O when I had dyed blonde hair and it kept
the blonde looking light and pretty longer. Third, it keeps my thinner hair
super soft and and not feeling like straw (how it use to feel when I used
other shampoos from drug stores). Fourth, it smells AMAZING :) My friends
and co-workers have commented many times over and over how beautiful,
shinny and how great my hair smells ever since I started using Daddy-O
years ago. Every time I mention that I'm thinking about cutting my hair
super short they all get mad at me and tell me," NO! It's too beautiful to
cut!" I never got those kind of complements when I wasn't using LUSH
Hope this will help you out and I recommend trying Daddy-O just once and
see how great your hair looks after using it :)Answered on 11/11/2013 by Anonymous
A:No, Daddy-O doesn't change hair color.Answered on 11/11/2013 by Anonymous

A:The main scent in "Daddy-o" is violet leaf. Although nothing is exactly the same as Daddy-o, our most violet based products are Tuca Tuca Perfume, Retread conditioner and Ultimate Shine solid shampoo.Answered on 9/20/2013 by Laura C from LUSH Direct
Q:I was bought this shampoo as a birthday present, but I have coloured bright pink hair, and am worried it may take the colour out if I use it, as it's not meant for coloured hair. Should I use this? The alternative is I just use it as a shower-gel, because it smells incredible ;)Asked on 5/21/2013 by Elliewow from United Kingdom
1 answer
A:Daddy-O is not specifically tested on colour treated hair, so it's difficult to gauge how it will work for yours. It contains a number of citrus juices and sea water and these are naturally stripping, so it might not be the best option for your hair.Answered on 10/1/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
Q:Is Daddy-O mainly for men? My store didn't have a large selection of liquid shampoo and I bought this one. And I'm a woman! I didn't buy a cake shampoo because they didn't have one for color-treated hair......Asked on 3/3/2013 by Brenda from Dallas, TX

January 7, 2010
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. Averaging just 79.6 points per game, Mount Olive College displayed an offensive outburst in a 114-105 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens basketball action on Thursday evening. Kendrick Easley led the Trojans with a season-high 44 points on the night. Jeff Pettiway tallied a team-high 35 for the Falcons followed by Chris Woods 24. Mount Olive missed just one of their 35 free throws on the night improving to 7-4 overall, 4-0 in conference play. The Falcons suffer their first league setback dropping to 5-3, 1-1.
The Trojans shot an incredible 53% from the field in the victory. Woods and Pettiway started the night with a 6-0 early run before Easley gave Mount Olive the lead for good, at the 15:11 mark of the first half, with a three-point basket. The Trojans closed out the first half with a 15-4 run taking a 56-42 advantage into the break.
Easley came out in the second half picking up where he left off in the first half draining basket after basket. Another three-ball by Easley put Pfeiffer in its biggest hole of the night, down 21, 63-42 at the 18:37 mark. Pettiway helped slice the deficit back into single digits with a jumper on the other side of the halfway mark, trying to spark a late Falcon rally. A 13-2 run followed, but Easley again slowed down the guests with another one of his eight three pointers just minutes later. Derek Staton, scoring 20 on the night, partnered with Easley to hold the lead for the duration.
Mount Olive placed four guys in the double-digits with scoring on the night. Mike Holloman registered 19 while Lamonte Theus scored 10. For the Falcons, James Crowder was the only other scorer in double figures with 15.
The 114 points is the most given up by Pfeiffer this season as the Trojans connected on 34 of their 35 shots from the charity stripe and drained 42% of their three-point attempts. The Falcons shot 42% from the field, 40% from behind the arc.
Pfeiffer will look to get back into the win column on Saturday night hosting Belmont Abbey College inside the Merner Gym. The Conference Carolinas tilt will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Liam Gill guided the Reds to a first victory over the Hurricanes in six years.
The Reds beat the Hurricanes 18 – 12 after leading 11 – 9 at half time.
The match started evenly with penalties being exchanged, before Digby Ioane scored his first try at the Suncorp Stadium in more than 600 days. Rob Simmons, playing in his 50th match, scored on the other side of half time to stretch the Reds' lead to 9 points.
Beauden Barrett scored the Canes points with four penalties but he missed with three as well.
The Reds' loose trio lookes the most balanced in the competition, with Liam Gill again impressive.
The Hurricanes finished the stronger and Julian Savea and Conrad Smith combined to come close to scoring in the final minute.
The Canes also had a try denied by the TMO, who ruled a knock on two phases back.
Smith clashed several times with referee Steve Walsh and afterwards described the match as one of the strangest he had played. He said he did not understand a lot of the referee interpretations but did not blame that for the defeat.
He felt the Canes would score and the points would come and was as frustrated in the inability to convert chances into points, as he was with Walsh's officiating.
Reds captain James Slipper credited the spirit within the squad for the courageous defence to deny the Canes in the final five minutes.

Seven young ladies came out Saturday evening – with their vocal chords warmed, their makeup flawlessly applied and their long evening gowns in place – as they vied for the 2013 Miss City of Orange title at the Miss City of Orange Scholarship Pageant.
The women competed in categories that included a talent portion, lifestyle and fitness, and an onstage interview session in addition to adopting platform statements in which they pledged to conduct local charitable acts if crowned the winner.
The night of glitz and beauty at Chapman University's Memorial Hall ended with the crowning of 22-year-old Stephanie Patterson, a recent Chapman University graduate, as the new Miss City of Orange.
More than 200 people came out to watch as the contestants, ages 19 to 22, competed for the crown, title and chance to represent the city at the 2013 Miss California USA Pageant in June.
Connie Benson, executive director of the Miss City of Orange Pageant, said that both the contestants and the community benefit from the Orange scholarship pageant program.
"[The contestant's] involvement gets them to be more active in the community of Orange through their platforms," she said. "They're going out and doing community service and getting more engaged in local politics and I think it helps to shape and make them better leaders for the city of Orange and the state of California."
The talent portion of the pageant included singing and dancing, and a piano performance.
Contestant Amanda Starrantino, 21, performed a high-energy jazz dance in a glittering pink dress that radiated beneath the beaming stage lights.
Rachel Olson, 22, a brunette with piercing blue eyes, belted out a German aria by composer Richard Wagner, while Patterson performed "Moment Musiceaux" on the piano. The performance was her own self-melding of Edvard Grieg's Concerto in A-minor with Sergei Rachmaninov's "Moment Musiceaux" in E-minor.
Megan Wisler, the title holder of last year's pageant, sang "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta" from Puccini's opera "La Rondine."
Wisler's performance was later followed by Miss California 2012 Leah Cecil's performance on the harp. Cecil will represent the state at the 2013 Miss America Pageant in January.
The Chapman University Dance Team and Men of Harmony, Chapman's acapella group, also provided entertainment.
For the lifestyle and fitness competition, which is intended to emphasize the importance of physical fitness and health, the contestants strutted and posed on stage in bathing suit attire.
Patterson, who was sponsored by Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt, donned a two-piece orange bikini during the lifestyle and fitness portion.
For being selected as the evening's winner, Patterson received a $2,000 educational scholarship in addition to her title.

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University women's basketball team led the majority of the game against a Florida State team that is ranked just outside of the top 25, but the Seminoles were able to pull away in the last three minutes to take a 71-62 victory Sunday in Millett Hall. The RedHawks fall to 1-5 overall, while Florida State improves to 6-1.
The Miami defense hung tough against FSU all day, forcing 22 turnovers. The Seminoles came into the game shooting 47.3 percent on the season, but the RedHawks held them to 37.3 percent (22-for-59) for the contest.
Senior guard Hannah Robertson led a balanced MU offensive effort with 13 points on 5-for-9 shooting. That included a 3-for-6 performance from behind the arc. Senior forward Erica Almady and freshman guard Jillian Spurlock each scored 11 points, while freshman forward Nicole Anderson finished with 10. The RedHawks were 20-for-51 from the field (39.2 percent), including 10-for-28 (35.7 percent) from behind the three-point line.
Florida State jumped to a 7-0 lead in the first three minutes of the game. Miami quickly recovered as a jumper by Hannah Robertson and a three-pointer from Anderson began a 10-0 run that was capped off by sophomore forward Hannah McCue burying a trey from the top of the key. The RedHawks continued to shoot well while forcing the Seminoles into missed jump shots, as a three-pointer from junior guard Kindsay Brandt put the 'Hawks up 15-11 with 12:31 remaining in the first half.
The Seminoles answered with a 6-0 run to take the lead back, but junior guard Courtney Larson drove to the basket and kicked it out to Hannah Robertson for a three-pointer that put Miami right back in front at 18-17. Almady, Brandt and Hannah Robertson each hit jumpers to help the RedHawks hold the lead for awhile, but a three-pointer by the Noles' Lauren Coleman tied the score at 24.
Miami had one final run in it during the last three minutes of the first half. Almady hit a reverse layup to put the RedHawks back in front. She was fouled and hit the free throw to complete the three-point play. Senior guard Haley Robertson used her passing skills to find her sister Hannah Robertson and McCue for back-to-back three-pointers that made it 33-24 with 1:20 to go. The Seminoles hit a couple baskets down the stretch, but a pair of free throws by Haley Robertson sent Miami into the break with a 35-29 lead.
Hannah Robertson led the RedHawks with 10 points in the first half, while McCue had six points and six rebounds. Haley Robertson had five assists in the period.

It was followed by a three-pointer and a jumper from Spurlock that made it 42-34 with 15:50 remaining in the game. After FSU hit a pair of free throws, a layup and a couple of free throws by Spurlock gave Miami its largest lead of the game at 46-36 at the 14:17 mark and forced the Seminoles to call timeout.
Out of the break, Florida State began to use a full court press. The pressure work, as the Seminoles went on a 12-0 run to take a 48-46 lead with 10:46 to go. Hannah Robertson ended the run with a three-pointer that put Miami back in front. After FSU answered with its own trey, a three-pointer by Anderson gave the RedHawks a 52-51 lead at the 9:42 mark.

Miami did not give up as two free throws from Spurlock and a jumper by Almady tied the score at 56. After a 6-0 run by FSU gave it a 62-56 lead, Brandt answered with a three-pointer, while Almady followed with two free throws to make it 62-61 with 3:38 to go.

Like Olympic athletes who spend years training for their big event, poll workers are geared up for their big day today.
Election Day during a presidential election means a very long day for poll workers, but they like to see the voters out in force.
"It is good (to see people voting). That's what our guys are over there fighting for, the right to choose they way we live," said Pat Konarski, chief judge for the Cedar Point/Cape Carteret precinct.
Konarski has been working the polls in
"With the state and municipal races if there's a hot race we get a lot of people; but, usually, if we're having a presidential election, that really draws them in," she said.
Ed Sweeney has been working the polls since the late 1960s. Back then the ballots had to be counted by hand.
"We've come a long way since then," he said. "We have one of the most foolproof systems in the state now."
Sweeney has seen it all from punch cards to bar codes, and thinks the scan machines the county uses now are the best method.
He expects 1,500 voters at the
Ernie Wright, a
"I've been running for office for 20 years," he said. "I've run for county commissioner five times, but never been on the inside."
Wright said he joined the Board of Elections to see how things are done from the inside out. He said he has learned a lot about the election process.
"Some voters may need some instruction and some just need to get in and out, and we are going to meet both needs," Wright said. "The main thing is that we will have a fair election with no hanging chad situations in
Wright said poll workers are ready to deal with any glitches, but he doesn't anticipate any problems.
"We expect a record turnout with everything running smooth," he said.
Sweeney said it's harder to read elections than it has been in the past when he could almost always predict winners.
Konarski said she has sensed a difference in voters with this year's election.
"The way I look at it, they seem very adamant one way or the other, there's no in-between, and for all different reasons," she said. But how people vote isn't what brings her out to work the polls.
She said she strives to keep voters informed and wants them to get through the voting process as smoothly as possible.
Over the past 20 years, Konarski said she has also seen a bit of a transition in the voter population in the precinct. While the Cedar Point/Cape Carteret area has traditionally been an area popular with retirees, more and more younger families have moved into the area as it has grown.
And she is seeing them coming out to vote.
"We need the younger people involved," Konarski said. "It's their world next."

Research expertise
My expertise as a histopathologist is in interpretation of clinical or molecular events in tissue sections, correlating both routine pathology and immunocytochemistry to demonstrate particular cells or their function or secretion with clinical patient data. I principally work in gastrointestinal and urological pathology, particularly prostate cancer.
In the last 10 years I have developed expertise in upper gastrointestinal pathology and my current research is focussed on finding biomarkers and pathways in functional bowel diseases, named functional as there is no discernible organic pathology.Over the next 5 years I plan to complete the investigation of functional bowel disorders and other gastrointestinal disorders to unravel the pathology which occurs in these diseases, and hope to elucidate the cause of these distressing conditions with the aim of devising effective agents for treatment. I am also working on coeliac disease and plan to continue defining parameters for diagnosis of coeliac disease in conjuction with the International Coeliac Definitions Group.

I have taught histopathology to undergraduate and graduate entry students at Imperial College in years 1 - 5, from basic principles to systems pathology. I contribute to course design, exam development and marking - as a senior examiner in pathology at Imperial College I have responsibility for setting and marking all years of undergraduates, and attend group marking sessions and examinations meetings. As Divisional Head of Teaching for Investigative Science (1999-2003), in the curriculum review at that time, I ensured that pathology was introduced as a standalone course, comprising lectures, tutorials and clinicopathological conferences to ensure that students see the integration of clinicians and the different pathology disciplines. I have lectured on principles of pathology to wide ranging groups, for example, perioperative surgical practitioners and ophthalmology FY2s. I also give invited lectures at National and International meetings.

The Intimate Lives of the Founding Fathers
The Intimate Lives of the Founding Fathers (Hardcover)
Related Editions
A compelling, intimate look at the founders—George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison—and the women who played essential roles in their lives
With his usual storytelling flair and unparalleled research, Tom Fleming examines the women who were at the center of the lives of the founding fathers. From hot-tempered Mary Ball Washington to promiscuous Rachel Lavien Hamilton, the founding fathers' mothers powerfully shaped their sons' visions of domestic life. But lovers and wives played more critical roles as friends and often partners in fame. We learn of the youthful Washington's tortured love for the coquettish Sarah Fairfax, wife of his close friend; of Franklin's two "wives," one in London and one in Philadelphia; of Adams's long absences, which required a lonely, deeply unhappy Abigail to keep home and family together for years on end; of Hamilton's adulterous betrayal of his wife and then their reconciliation; of how the brilliant Madison was jilted by a flirtatious fifteen-year-old and went on to marry the effervescent Dolley, who helped make this shy man into a popular president. Jefferson's controversial relationship to Sally Hemings is also examined, with a different vision of where his heart lay.
Fleming nimbly takes us through a great deal of early American history, as his founding fathers strove to reconcile the private and public, often beset by a media every bit as gossip seeking and inflammatory as ours today. He offers a powerful look at the challenges women faced in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. While often brilliant and articulate, the wives of the founding fathers all struggled with the distractions and dangers of frequent childbearing and searing anxiety about infant mortality—Jefferson's wife, Martha, died from complications following labor, as did his daughter. All the more remarkable, then, that these women loomed so large in the lives of their husbands—and, in some cases, their country.
About the Author
Thomas Fleming is the author of more than forty books of fiction and nonfiction, most recently, The Perils of Peace. He has been the president of the Society of American Historians and of PEN American Center. Mr. Fleming is a frequent guest on C-SPAN, PBS, A&E, and the History Channel. He lives in New York City.
Praise for The Intimate Lives of the Founding Fathers…
"Thomas Fleming is one of our most interesting scholars of the Revolutionary period, and in his insightful latest work he does not disappoint. Focusing on the wives and women of the founding fathers, Intimate Lives is thoroughly fresh, frequently fun, at times touching, and always fascinating. A significant achievement."
-Jay Winik, author of The Great Upheaval and April 1865
"With his ample gifts as a novelist and his brilliant historical reach, the esteemed Thomas Fleming never disappoints...A remarkable achievement-- and hard to put down."
-Brenda Wineapple, author of WHITE HEAT: THE FRIENDSHIP OF EMILY DICKINSON AND THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON
"Tom Fleming is a rare combination - a fine historian and a fine writer. His assessment of George Washington's relationships with Sally Fairfax and Martha Custis is right on target."
-Peter R. Henriques, author of REALISTIC VISIONARY: A PORTRAIT OF GEORGE WASHINGTON
This is better than any history book you've ever read.

The news out of Las Vegas this week was encouraging, and it had nothing to do with slot machines, Celine Dion or cheap shrimp.
It had everything to do with movies.
The reason going to the movies was the center of attention in a city better known for gambling and live entertainment was that Las Vegas was the site of CinemaCon, the official convention of the National Association of Theater Owners. The organization, headquartered in Washington, D.C., represents 30,000 movie screens in this country, as well as theaters in 50 other countries.
Although this yearly meeting is only in its third year, it already has grown to be an important gathering of theater owners, studio executives and talent.
"Talent" is a movie industry word for actors, actresses and directors. I'll use it in a sentence: "The talent never pays for lunch."
This year's CinemaCon was held in Caesars Palace, and the activities ranged from major announcements ("Fast & Furious 7" will be released on July 11, 2014, even though "Fast & Furious 6" won't come out until May 24, 2013) and the unveiling of highly anticipated movie trailers ("Man of Steel" and "The Great Gatsby" were the big attractions this year) to celebrity sightings (Brad Pitt showed up unexpectedly to promote his summer zombie movie "World War Z," and Johnny Depp surprised the audience to plug his role as the Masked Man's faithful Indian companion Tonto in "The Lone Ranger").
These activities are intended to titillate the fanboys and motivate the theater owners to start stockpiling popcorn oil.
But if you can keep your head from exploding over the excitement of it all, you might hear some pretty interesting tidbits during speeches before the massed attendees.
For instance, John Fithian, the association's chief executive, depressed the gathering when he announced that box office revenues were down 12 percent during the first quarter of 2013, and then pointed an accusatory finger at the studio representatives in the audience.
He laid blame for the plunging revenues at their feet, chiding Hollywood for producing too many R-rated movies and not enough PG-13 movies that appeal to families.
"The product selection in the first part of 2013 was dismal," the theater executive said. He added that last year, there were twice as many PG-13 movies as R movies.
"Americans have stated their clear choice," he declared. "Give them more choices for all ages, and they'll buy more tickets."
Even more interesting was what emerged from an opening day discussion called "Movie-going in the 21st Century: A Look at the Evolution of the Average American Moviegoer."
I know it sounds terribly academic but it was anything but boring.
Catherine Paura, a movie industry researcher, urged Hollywood not to forget movie audiences that fall outside the treasured teen crowd. In particular, she pleaded with movie studios to make more movies for baby boomers (those very special people born between the years 1946 and 1964). Apparently, if you were born in 1945 or 1965, you're plain out of luck.

Prep baseball: Mountlake Terrace 5, Edmonds-Woodway 3
Neither team scored after the third inning, with the Warriors leaving seven runners on base in the final four frames.
"We were threatening the whole time, but we just couldn't get the key hit," said Edmonds-Woodway pitching coach Will Budnick.
Mountlake Terrace pitchers Ben Reijonen and Connor Clausen scattered five hits and walked six but limited the Warriors to just three runs in the game's first three innings. The Warriors, meanwhile, struck out 10 and walked five.
One big inning was all the Hawks needed. They led off the second with an infield hit to the hole at short and bunted the runner to second. A pick-off attempt at second was dropped, moving the runner to third. Mountlake Terrace followed it up with another infield hit and another bunt. Another pick-off attempt was disrupted and Terrace's Jason Shevenko followed with a double to drive in two.
"That was kind of the nail in the coffin on that inning," said Budnick.
Still, there were a few bright spots for the Warriors.
"From the fourth inning on our pitching was really solid," said Budnick
"(Mezich) threw very well. He struck out three and had a real nice curve ball going. Chantz Justice threw really well also."

2 cups water
1/3 cup raw sugar
2 cups seedless watermelon puree
1 fresh lemon, sliced thinly
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups chopped, seedless watermelon flesh (optional)
In a half-gallon pitcher with lid, mix 1 cup of the water with the sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in the rest of the water, watermelon puree, sliced lemon, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Stir to mix well and chill thoroughly.
For chunky watermelon lemonade, stir in the 2 cups.
4 cups cubed watermelon
½ cup light rum or 2 ounces light rum
¼ cup fresh lime juice
¼ cup orange-flavored liqueur or Cointreau
Ice cubes made with chopped fruit or freeze pureed watermelon into ice cube trays
Freeze watermelon in a shallow pan at least 6 hours.
Combine frozen watermelon, rum, lime juice and orange-flavored liqueur in a blender. Process until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides. Add enough ice to bring mixture to 5-cup level; process until smooth. Repeat procedure, if necessary, until mixture measures 5 cups.
2 cups watermelon rind, dark-green skin removed and white part cut in 1/3-inch dice
2 Tbs. and 2 tsp. salt, divided
2½ cups water and ¾ cup water, divided
1 cup sugar
2 Tbs. lemon zest, finely grated
2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 pinch each cinnamon and cloves
2 cups diced watermelon
Mix rind with 2 ½ cups water and 2 tablespoons salt. Let stand covered at room temperature overnight. Drain and rinse well.
In medium saucepan, combine sugar with ¾ cup water, 2 teaspoons salt, the lemon zest and juice, cinnamon and cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, add the rind and cook gently for about 40 minutes or until the rind is translucent and tender (do not boil hard as mixture could caramelize). When done, remove from heat and cool. Lastly, mix in the diced watermelon. The watermelon relish will keep refrigerated for 4 days.
2 cups cubed watermelon (about ½-inch cubes)
½ cup sliced celery
½ cup seedless red grape halves
Dash of salt
¼ cup Greek yogurt
2 Tbs. sliced almonds, toasted
Stir together watermelon, celery and grapes in bowl. Just before serving, stir salt into yogurt for dressing. You may want to add a little water to lighten the thickness. Pour mixture over fruit and stir until coated. Sprinkle with almonds.

Leading Beyond the ICT Conundrums for Scholarship 2.0
Bradley C. Wheeler
The foundations and frontiers of ICT and the purpose and passion of scholars are combining to reshape
the modern university. It is easy to squander organizational attention and money in poor timing or poor
choice of technology-enhanced efforts, but it is equally easy to miss the real transformative opportunities
that arise from scholarly communities. As we embark on a new wave of maturing ICT and the attendant
social changes, now is precisely the right time for assertive ICT leadership, purposeful strategy, and
disciplined execution to ensure that our universities are able to rise to their potential. For ICT leaders,
we must not shy away from the conversations regarding the digitization of the scholarly record, frontiers
and funding models for campus and national cyberinfrastructure, and the increasingly porous boundaries
of the university for serving learners. Our passion for architecting networks, systems, and services are
just our stewardship responsibilities to the university. Co-creating scholarship 2.0, participating in a digital
fabric of meta-universities, and doing all of this while serving the needs of individual scholars and
students to deliver "user delight" with ICT services are among our challenges. We do, however, have the
tools and community to lead through these conundrums if we choose to invoke them.
Wheeler, B. (2007), "Leading Beyond the ICT Conundrums for Scholarship 2.0," Presented at EDUCAUSE Australasia 2007, Melbourne, Australia, May 2, 2007.

Problems with anti-theft systems using the raised-chip key can prevent the car from starting. The wires in the steering column to the ignition lock cylinder tend to break. The key and ignition lock cylinder should be replaced to correct this condition.
1993 Cadillac Eldorado Problem Reports
Most Reported 1993 Cadillac Eldorado Problem Reports
The trunk pull down switch may fail causing the trunk lid not to close completely. Our technicians tell us that the failed switch can be replaced without changing the complete pull down motor assembly.
The engine may develop an oil leak from the lower crankcase portion of the engine block. Our technicians tell us that the engine must be removed from the vehicle to properly repair this oil leak.
The air conditioning system can be prone to refrigerant leaks and failure of one or more pressure sensors. The AC pressure sensors should be checked for proper operation when ever the AC system is serviced.
The auto level ride compressor may fail causing the rear of the vehicle to ride to high or too low.
The AC compressor may develop an abnormal noise or refrigerant leak, requiring replacement.
The crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to stall intermittently, the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate.
The head light switch may fail causing the head lights to become inoperative.
The vacuum release actuator for the parking brake may fail, preventing the parking brake from releasing automatically. Our technicians remind us that there is a mechanical release lever on the park brake ratchet you may use if the park brake does not release automatically. (Care should be taken when manually releasing the park brake!)
Overheating of the engine may cause the cylinder head to expand, severely straining the head bolts and damaging the threads in the engine block. This commonly results in a blown head gasket. Our technicians tell us the engine block threads must be repaired before the cylinder head is reinstalled.
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid; it should be replaced.
