Common characteristics of modern bears include a large body with stocky legs, a long snout, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five nonretractile claws, and a short tail. While the polar bear is mostly carnivorous and the giant panda feeds almost entirely on bamboo, the remaining six species are omnivorous, with largely varied diets including both plants and animals.
With the exceptions of courting individuals and mothers with their young, bears are typically solitary animals. They are sometimes diurnal, but are usually active during the night (nocturnal) or twilight (crepuscular). Bears are aided by an excellent sense of smell, and despite their heavy build and awkward gait, they can run quickly and are adept climbers and swimmers. Bears use shelters such as caves and burrows as their dens, which are occupied by most species during the winter for a long period of sleep similar to hibernation.
Bears have been hunted since prehistoric times for their meat and fur. To this day, they play a prominent role in the arts, mythology, and other cultural aspects of various human societies. In modern times, the bear's existence has been pressured through the encroachment of their habitats and the illegal trade of bears and bear parts, including the Asian bile bear market. The IUCN lists six bear species as vulnerable or endangered, and even "least concern" species such as the brown bear are at risk of extirpation in certain countries. The poaching and international trade of these most threatened populations is prohibited, but still ongoing.
Many bears of northern regions are assumed to hibernate in the winter. While many bear species do go into a physiological state called hibernation or winter sleep, it is not true hibernation. In true hibernators, body temperatures drop to near ambient and heart rate slows drastically, but the animals periodically rouse themselves to urinate or defecate and to eat from stored food. The body temperature of bears, on the other hand, drops only a few degrees from normal and heart rate slows only slightly. They normally do not wake during this "hibernation", and therefore do not eat, drink, urinate or defecate the entire period. Higher body heat and being easily roused may be adaptations, because females give birth to their cubs during this winter sleep. It can therefore be considered a more efficient form of hibernation because they need not awake through the entire period, but they are more quickly and easily awakened at the end of their hibernation. They have to stay in a den for the whole hibernation.
Some species, such as the polar bear, American black bear, and the grizzly bear, are dangerous to humans, especially in areas where they have become used to people. On the west coast of Canada, the American black bear has become an integral part of the silviculture industries, specifically treeplanting. The bears are coaxed into areas of harvested forest to "flush out" the other wildlife, i.e. moose, which are a far greater threat to planters. For the most part, bears are shy and are easily frightened of humans. They will, however, defend their cubs ferociously if a situation calls for it.
Laws have been passed in many areas of the world to protect bears from hunters or habitat destruction. Bears in captivity have been trained to dance, box, or ride bicycles; however, this use of the animals became controversial in the late 20th century.
The genera Melursus and Helarctos are sometimes also included in Ursus. The Asiatic black bear and the polar bear used to be placed in their own genera, Selenarctos and Thalarctos which are now placed at subgenus rank.
A number of hybrids have been bred between American black, brown, and polar bears (see Ursid hybrids).
The Ursidae family belongs to the order Carnivora and is one of nine families in the suborder Caniformia, or "doglike" carnivorans. Bears' closest living relatives are the pinnipeds, a clade of three families: Odobenidae (the walrus), Otariidae (fur seals and sea lions), and Phocidae (true or earless seals). Bears comprise eight species in three subfamilies: Ailuropodinae (monotypic with the giant panda), Tremarctinae (monotypic with the Spectacled Bear), and Ursinae (containing six species divided into one to three genera, depending upon authority).
The origins of Ursidae can be traced back to the very small and graceful Parictis that had a skull only 7 cm (3 in) long. Parictis first occur in North America in the Late Eocene (ca. 38 million years ago), but this genus did not appear in Eurasia and Africa until the Miocene. The raccoon-sized, dog-like Cephalogale, however, is widely regarded as the most primitive ursid and is ideally suited as a representative basal taxon for the family. Cephalogale first appeared during the middle Oligocene and early Miocene (approximately 20–30 million years ago) in Europe. Cephalogale gave rise to a lineage of early bears of the genus Ursavus. This genus radiated in Asia and ultimately gave rise to the first true bears (genus Ursus) in Europe, 5 million years ago. Even among its primitive species, such as C. minor, it exhibits typical ursid synapomorphic dentition such as posteriorly oriented M2 postprotocrista molars, elongated m2 molars, and a reduction of the premolars. Living members of the ursids are morphologically well defined by their hypocarnivorous (non-strictly meat-eating) dentitions, but fossil ursids include hypercarnivorous (strictly meat-eating) taxa, although they never achieved the extreme hypercarnivory seen in mustelids. Cephalogale was a mesocarnivore (intermediate meat-eater). Other extinct bear genera include Arctodus, Agriarctos, Plionarctos and Indarctos.
It is uncertain whether ursids were in Asia during the late Eocene, although there is some suggestion that a limited immigration from Asia may have produced Parictis in North America due to the major sea level lowstand at ca. 37 Ma, but no Parictis fossils have yet to be found in East Asia. Ursids did, however, become very diversified in Asia later during the Oligocene. Four genera representing two subfamilies (Amphicynodontinae and Hemicyoninae) have been discovered in the Oligocene of Asia: Amphicticeps, Amphicynodon, Pachycynodon, and Cephalogale. Amphicticeps is endemic from Asia and the other three genera are common to both Asia and Europe. This indicates migration of ursids between Asia and Europe during the Oligocene and migration of several taxa from Asia to North America likely occurred later during the late Oligocene or early Miocene. Although Amphicticeps is morphologically closely related to Allocyon, and also to Kolponomos of North America, no single genus of the Ursidae from this time period is known to be common to both Eurasia and North America. Cephalogale, however, do appear in North America in the early Miocene. It is interesting to note that rodents, such as Haplomys and Pseudotheridomys (late Oligocene) and Plesiosminthus and Palaeocastor (early Miocene), are common to both Asia and North America and this indicates that faunal exchange did occur between Asia and North America during the late Oligocene to early Miocene. Ursid migration from Asia to North America would therefore have also been very likely to occur during this time. In the late Neogene three major carnivoran migrations that definitely included ursids are recognized between Eurasia and North America. The first (probably 21–18 Ma) was waves of intermittent dispersals including Amphicynodon, Cephalogale and Ursavus. The second migration occurred about 7–8 Ma and included Agriotherium – this was unusual among ursoids in that it also colonised sub-Saharan Africa. The third wave took place in the early Pliocene 4 Ma, consisting of Ursus.
The giant panda's taxonomy has long been debated. Its original classification by Armand David in 1869 was within the bear genus Ursus, but in 1870 it was reclassified by Alphonse Milne-Edwards to the raccoon family. In recent studies, the majority of DNA analyses suggest that the giant panda has a much closer relationship to other bears and should be considered a member of the family Ursidae. The status of the red panda remains uncertain, but many experts, including Wilson and Reeder, classify it as a member of the bear family. Others place it with the raccoons in Procyonidae or in its own family, the Ailuridae. Multiple similarities between the two pandas, including the presence of false thumbs, are thought to represent convergent evolution for feeding primarily on bamboo.
There is also evidence that, unlike their neighbors elsewhere, the brown bears of Alaska's ABC islands are more closely related to polar bears than they are to other brown bears in the world. Researchers Gerald Shields and Sandra Talbot of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Institute of Arctic Biology studied the DNA of several samples of the species and found that their DNA is different from that of other brown bears. The researchers discovered that their DNA was unique compared to brown bears anywhere else in the world. The discovery has shown that while all other brown bears share a brown bear as their closest relative, those of Alaska's ABC Islands differ and share their closest relation with the polar bear. There is also supposed to be a very rare large bear in China called the blue bear, which presumably is a type of black bear. This animal has never been photographed.
Koalas are often referred to as bears due to their appearance; they are not bears, however, but marsupials.
Some evidence has been brought to light on prehistoric bear worship, see Arctic, Arcturus, Great Bear, Berserker, Kalevala. Anthropologists such as Joseph Campbell have regarded this as a common feature in most of the fishing and hunting-tribes. The prehistoric Finns, along with most Finno-Ugric peoples, considered the bear as the spirit of one's forefathers. This is why the bear was a greatly respected animal, with several euphemistic names. The bear is the national animal of Finland.
This kind of attitude is reflected in the traditional Russian fairy tale "Morozko", whose arrogant protagonist Ivan tries to kill a mother bear and her cubs — and is punished and humbled by having his own head turned magically into a bear's head and being subsequently shunned by human society.
"The Brown Bear of Norway" is a Scottish fairy tale telling the adventures of a girl who married a prince magically tunred into a bear, and who managed to get him back into a human form by the force of her love and after many trials and difficulties.
There has been evidence about early bear worship in China and among the Ainu culture as well (see Iomante). Korean people in their mythology identify the bear as their ancestor and symbolic animal. According to the Korean legend, a god imposed a difficult test on a she-bear, and when she passed it the god turned her into a woman and married her.
In addition, the Proto-Indo-European word for bear, *hr̥ktos (ancestral to the Greek arktos, Latin ursus, Welsh arth (cf. Arthur), Sanskrit *ṛkṣa, Hittite hartagga) seems to have been subject to taboo deformation or replacement (as was the word for wolf, wlkwos), resulting in the use of numerous unrelated words with meanings like "brown one" (English bruin) and "honey-eater" (Slavic medved). Thus four separate Indo-European language groups do not share the same PIE root. The theory of the bear taboo is taught to almost all beginning students of Indo-European and historical linguistics; the putative original PIE word for bear is itself descriptive, because a cognate word in Sanskrit is rakshas, meaning "harm, injury".
In the arms of the bishopric of Freising (illustration, right) the bear is the dangerous totem animal tamed by St. Corbinian and made to carry his civilised baggage over the mountains: the allegory of the civilising influence of Christianity is inescapable. A bear also features prominently in the legend of St. Romedius, who is also said to have tamed one of these animals and had the same bear carry him from his hermitage in the mountains to the city of Trento.
Imaginary bears are a popular feature of many children's stories including Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the Berenstein Bears, and Winnie the Pooh.
The constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor represent bears.
The bear is a common National personification for Russia (as well as the Soviet Union) and even Germany. The brown bear is Finland's national animal. In the United States, the black bear is the state animal of Louisiana, New Mexico, and West Virginia; the grizzly bear is the state animal of both Montana and California.
Bears appear in the canting arms of Berne and Berlin.
Also, "bear", "bruin", or specific types of bears are popular nicknames or mascots, e.g. for sports teams (Chicago Bears, Boston Bruins); and a bear cub called Misha was mascot of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, USSR.
Smokey Bear has become a part of American culture since his introduction in 1944. Known to almost all Americans, he and his message, "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires" (updated in 2001 to "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires") has been a symbol of preserving woodlands. Smokey wears a hat similar to one worn by many U.S. state police officers, giving rise to the CB slang "bear" or "Smokey" for the highway patrol.
Around the world many children have stuffed animals in the form of bears.
The female first name "Ursula", originally derived from a Christian saint's name and common in English- and German-speaking countries, means "Little she-bear" (dimunitive of Latin "ursa"). In Switzerland the male first name "Urs" is especially popular.
In Russian and other Slavic languages, the word for bear, "Medved" (медведь), and variants or derivatives such as Medvedev are common surnames.
The Irish family name "McMahon" means "Son of Bear" in Irish Gaelic.
One of widely held etymological explanations for the common name "Arthur" is that it originally meant "bear-like".
In East European Jewish communities, the name "Ber" (בער) — Yiddish cognate of "Bear" — has been attested as a common male first name, at least since the 18th century, and was among others the name of several prominent Rabbis. The Yiddish "Ber" is still in use among Orthodox Jewish communities in Israel, the US and other countries.
With the transition from Yiddish to Hebrew under the influence of Zionism, the Hebrew word for "bear", "Dov" (דב), was taken up in contemporary Israel and is at present among the commonly used male first names in that country.

Just a random thought, but sometimes it seems like it is a lot harder these days to schedule things, to get people to commit to showing up at a given time in advance. Not just in WoW, but in real life too.
I wonder if it is related to the increasing inter-connectedness of our social lives. Sometimes it seems that everyone wants to leave their options open. To not commit to X, because there's a small chance that something else more interesting might pop up in the time between now and X. And because of the speed of communication, you might hear about the new thing in plenty of time to go to it.
It just seems like in the past, because it was harder to communicate with people, that people ended up making arrangements earlier, and sticking to the arrangements with more faithfulness.
I'm not really sure which way is better. Ad hoc gives the individual a lot more leeway with what they want to do. But it does make life a lot harder on the people who have to organize events.
And I think there is a strength in scheduling that is often undervalued. To be able to count on people to show up when they say they will show up. I've always felt that the single greatest characteristic I would want in a raider is dependability, not raw skill.

Willingness to Schedule
Just a random thought, but sometimes it seems like it is a lot harder these days to schedule things, to get people to commit to showing up at a given time in advance. Not just in WoW, but in real life too.

I must say I've felt the exact same development both in real life and in-game over the past year and I couldn't really put my finger on why.
This is sort of the reason my friend and I came up with as well, while discussing the topic. Quite sad isn't it? But what to do about it? It really pisses me off sometimes how people think everyone's schedule is the same or is infinitely stretchable. Especially as I, myself, like to schedule and try to always be on time =/

I would agree with your assessment. I also think that the culture several years ago that focused on how every child was a "special flower" contributes. It seems (at least with most of my 15 or so nieces and nephews) that the generation of people under the age of 25 or so are exceedingly self centered, and do not have consideration for others. So they don't want to commit themselves to anything, like you said, because something more exciting might come along.

Well said young buck.
In terms of WOW it all comes down to guild leaders plucking out those who suck at commiting to a raid.
Yes your life shouldn't revolve around playing a game, but when your commit to a community action your COMMITED TO A COMMUNITY ACTION. You have surpassed playing a game and are now meesing with other peoples time.

I vastly prefer to schedule what I can, because then it leaves the rest of my time flexible. If I know the guild will always be raiding at a particular time, I can leave that spot permanently blocked out, and tell less schedule-tastic people offline that I am not free that day but am free any other day. And BamaTank Inc, I'm under 25.

Sorry, what I'd meant to say is that many people under 25 seem to be rather self centered, I guess I came across as crotchety. I certainly realize that there are plenty of people under 25 with a good head on their shoulders. :-)

Amazing Lip Gloss!
I've been using IN lip delivery glosses on my lips for over a year now~ and I absolutely love them! My go to ones are clear frosting and pink hibiscus. This is the only USDA certified organic lip gloss I have found, and it is so amazing! This gloss makes my lips feel so soft. Highly recommend.

JON CARDINELLI watched the Stormers beat the Rebels 26-21 to secure top spot in the Super Rugby league.
The result guarantees the Stormers a home semi-final, as well as home advantage should they advance to the title-decider on 4 August. It also wraps up an undefeated league campaign at Newlands, the most recent win marking their eighth successive victory on this ground.
That it was an inconsistent and scrappy performance is not up for debate. The Stormers spent more than half of the game in their own territory, repelling wave after wave after Rebels attack.
It was during the second and third quarters of the match that the Stormers struggled to clear the ball beyond the halfway line. At the same time, it was during these periods of play that they showcased their determination on defence, with men like No 8 Deon Fourie turning the Rebels over at the breakdown.
The Rebels failed to score a point in the first half despite spending 24 minutes in Stormers territory. It took 11 minutes of hammering away at the Stormers' defence in the second stanza before they finally earned some reward through Rodney Blake's try.
The Stormers have struggled in the third quarter all season, giving away some big leads but somehow still managing to win the game. This clash was no different in that the Stormers leaked 14 points in the 20 minutes after half-time, Blake and Nick Phipps touching down for the visitors and Julian Huxley adding the extras.
The hosts finally managed to escape their own territory when Bryan Habana claimed a kickoff and set up a great attacking platform. The Stormers took the ball through the phases before Peter Grant found Juan de Jongh on the switch, and the centre managed to elude the cover defence for his second try of the game.
Grant's conversion took the Stormers to a nine-point lead, but again the substantial buffer seemed to do more harm than good. The Rebels continued to come at the Stormers, and when the visitors found Cooper Vuna in space, the Wallabies winger scored to help narrow the deficit to just two points.
The only way the Stormers were capable of moving into the opposition's half was via the kickoff. Once again, the Stormers responded to a Rebels strike with one of their own, a determined attacking surge culminating in a penalty goal for Grant. With only five minutes to play, it was a goal that gave the Stormers some breathing room.
But the Cape side finished in nervous fashion, and were fortunate that a Rebels knock on in the 22m area handed them possession with three minutes to play. From there, they managed to kill the clock, win the game, and secure safe passage to the semi-finals.

I would go with Krewe nothing close to it in all of sports
Note from Joe Gerrity-- This is now stickied for rebrand/name change discussion.
We don't need another one.
If and when we get a new owner would he change the name of the franchise?
I like the New Orleans Rhythm

looking for team to bandwagon, pls help
Mafia... The unis would be black and white and would make the pinstripes look nice.
Nba would never do it as they like fruity names like the thunder.
Pinstripes would be cool but when I think of black and white I think of the spurs.. We should do colors that incorporate new Orleans.. Maybe change up the color arrangements on the unis if we are to keep the colors. Or if benson does become the owner maybe he could do black and gold?! Make it happen!
I'd rather keep it the Hornets!
I know I don't speak for all non American fans but the reason I fell in love with
the Hornets was because of the name. When they were the Charlotte Hornets I decided to
go with the Hornets name rather than stick with the city and support the Bobcats.
Smart move I thought.
I'm sure a few international fans did the same and I'd be very disappointed if the team re-located
or even changed their name.
If your car had wings like a pegasus, how much would you get from the ATM?
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
I honestly don't think those of you whom are based in New Orleans understand the magnitude of supporters who live in places outside of America. I have followed the hornets from the early 90s and at that time they were huge in Australia (where I am from). The NBA is no longer a competition limited to the states, and I imagine there would be kore that watch the game via league pass etc internationally than America. It's a global game, and people should no longer think of places as being big markets or small markets. I watch every hornets game on league pass, and having lived in the UK for 2 years just recently, there are plenty of hornets fans around the globe. You don't just change the team name to suit the folk in New Orleans, I'm a hornets fan first and foremost, and while being in new Orleans has seen me adopt the saints as my NFL team, I would follow the hornets franchise if they moved.
Just my two cents, hoping to make some on here realise their are hotnets fans outside the borders of NOLA
To man, all of the nonlocal fans I've spoken to are against a rebrand.
I don't care at all.
I just can't wait until next summer, as that should bring an end to the discussion.
Personally some just use it as an excuse to complain. When all the excuses are gone, hopefully they'll just be fans, critical or not, or just shut up, rather than bore the world with their outdated, lazy, poorly thought out agenda.
I know the name is taken by the AFL, but I like the New Orleans Voodoo. Besides that I like the New Orleans Krewe.
Anything but the Hornets.
The truth is that local fans, more so than international or national fans, should matter more in any kind of re-brand debate. Those are the fans buying the expensive season tickets and their tax money goes to inducements and arena up-keep. That's not to discount the international and national fans, but if a re-brand will generate long term support than why would such die hard international/nation fans fight it? Wouldn't you want a vibrant and healthy franchise over what we have now?
Also, and it's not to be discounted, the perception of this team is beyond just a few winning seasons. If it's going to take a real title run to endear fans to the team then that is huge massive problem that needs to be addressed. I would say we don't deserve a franchise if the only way we can get 10,000 fans interested is if they win a title. Sorry, but that's an excuse most objective fans would not accept for a losing franchise that could easily be relocated to city more interested in having a team.
We can debate this all day, and we have for years ... really, since the day they got here. Long time CLT fans were against a re-brand, big surprise, at the time of the relocation local fans were very excited about a possible re-brand. I bet things would be different if they had re-branded when they got here originally. I do know this, several playoff season did nothing to attract a solid fan base. It's taken threats of relocation, threats of contraction, etc to get the minimum amount of support needed to skate by support wise. Clearly something isn't working and I think it's pretty clear a re-brand would at least give fans 1 positive thing to hang their emotions on. We can't pretend like the Hornets have been lottery level ever since they got here, or that we never had superstars to make the team attractive.
Too much baggage surrounds the Hornets moniker, mainly the fact that most associate this team more with other cities than New Orleans is enough for me. I also think we are kidding ourselves if we think this team would stay the Hornets in yet another city.
After 10 years of being here, and they are still referred to as the Charlotte Hornets...thats a major issue that needs to be changed now
But this has to stop. Sometimes I honestly think that the media does it to mess with us, and even if it is an accident we have to stop this. I don't really care what on Earth the new owner comes up with, but we have to stop being called Charlotte. Charlotte has a damn team and they still call us it. Its embarrassing and just plain painful to read. We need a new chapter in this franchise, I truly hope that the new owner sees this.
I love you guys in different countries, you guys are great. I really hope that you don't leave the team should they rebrand, but I also hope that you realize that it truly would be best for the team.
Thats my opinion on it atleast.

Most monthly mortgage payments will change during the term of the loan, either by design, as in the case of adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARMs, or through fluctuations in taxes, tax assessments, insurance premiums and other costs for both ARMs and fixed-rate mortgages.
Most escrow analyses are done at the end of the year. That's when tax increases, higher insurance premiums and other fee hikes tend to bump up your monthly payment for the coming year. Generally speaking, it's a good idea to set aside reserves in November and December to cushion the blow of higher mortgage payments come February.
Tips for ARM borrowers
Adjustable-rate mortgage borrowers experience the greatest volatility because they pay interest at rates that fluctuate with market changes. When the rate environment takes a turn for the worse, it can send your monthly payment skyrocketing.
If interest rates start to climb, prepare yourself by setting aside the extra $50 to $75 per month you saved by avoiding a fixed-rate mortgage. The more time you have before a likely rate adjustment, the more money you can stash to cushion the blow.
You also may want to try prepaying as a way to lessen the impact of an expected rate increase. One of the advantages of an ARM is that prepayments can reduce your monthly payments, which are recalculated each year along with rates. As long as an ARM customer prepays at least 45 days prior to an adjustment date, the lender will use the reduced balance figure to establish next year's payment, thus softening the impact of concurrent rate increases.
Tips for fixed-rate borrowers
Fixed-rate mortgage customers enjoy relatively stable monthly payments, but they have fewer options when changes occur. For instance, prepaying on a fixed-rate mortgage can reduce your balance, loan terms and overall interest bill, but it has no effect on your monthly payment.
One way you can reduce your monthly payment is by ridding yourself of mortgage insurance. Once you have met your lender's requirements, you could save anywhere from a few bucks to more than $100 per month by dropping mortgage insurance.

About Gordon Lightfoot
A Look at Gordon Lightfoot ticketsThe Canadian troubadour Gordon Lightfoot is hailed as one of the greatest folk-pop songwriters by some of popular music's most lauded legends. Bob Dylan is a fan of Lightfoot's, as is Robbie Robertson of The Band, and the list of those who have sung and recorded Gordon Lightfoot's songs is like a Who's Who of American music: Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Barbra Streisand, Johnny Mathis, and John Mellencamp, to name only a few. Gordon Lightfoot, Jr., was born in Orillia, Ontario, Canada, in 1938, and appeared on local radio at a young age, making his first appearance at Toronto's Massey Hall at age 12, the winner of a singing competition. Lightfoot moved to California in 1958, but returned to Canada in 1960, performing in Toronto coffee houses and building a fan base. After recording a #3 hit single in Canada, '(Remember Me) I'm the One,' in 1962, Lightfoot toured Europe, then embarked on an extensive recording and performing career that continues today. His first album, Lightfoot! in 1966, was a folksy, country-tinged collection of covers that enjoyed success with the singles 'Early Morning Rain.' After recording several more albums in the 1960s and touring heavily, Gordon Lightfoot crossed over to pop charts and gained international stardom with the release of his sixth album, Sit Down Young Stranger in 1970, which was quickly re-released as If You Could Read My Mind after the song of that title climbed fast up the charts. Several hits followed, including 'Sundown,' 'Carefree Highway,' and 'Rainy Day People.' Gordon Lightfoot tickets are a chance to catch live one of North America's great songwriting legends.

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The Miami University softball team swept its opening two games of the Michelle Smith Spring Break Tournament on Friday. The RedHawks defeated Maine, 11-5, in the opener. They followed it up with a 7-2 victory over Seton Hall in the nightcap. Miami is now 8-10 on the season.
It didn't start well for the RedHawks as Maine (6-8 overall) scored three runs (all unearned) on three hits and an error off starting pitcher Paige Myers. She settled down, allowing only one more run in 3.2 innings pitched.
The Black Bears held their 3-0 lead until the Red and White broke through for four runs in the bottom of the third. Sophomore outfielder Tanya Busby led off with a single to the catcher. A single to the shortstop by sophomore outfielder Taylor Shuey moved Busby up to second. Senior second baseman Kristy Arbour singled up the middle, scoring Busby and putting Miami on the board. A sacrifice fly by senior catcher Kayla Ledbetter scored Shuey and made it 3-2. Senior first baseman Allie Larrabee followed with a double that brought home Arbour and tied the score at three. One batter later, a single by junior outfielder Bree Lipscomb scored Larrabee and put the RedHawks in front for the first time at 4-3.
Maine tied the score at four with a run in the top of the fourth. Miami took the lead for good with three runs in the bottom of the fifth. Ledbetter led off with a double to right field. Larrabee followed with a double of her own, scoring Ledbetter and giving Miami a 5-4 lead. After the Black Bears recorded a pair of outs, a double to left field by junior third baseman Remy Edwards scored Larrabee. Kylie McChesney made it 7-4 by bringing home Edwards on a single to right center.
One swing of the bat gave the RedHawks four more runs in the bottom of the sixth. With Shuey, Ledbetter and Larrabee on base, Lipscomb hit a shot over the leftfield wall for her third home run of the season and first career grand slam.
Maine got one run back in the top of the seventh to complete the scoring.
Lipscomb finished the opener 2-for-4 with a career-high five RBI and one run scored. Larrabee was 3-for-3 with two RBI and three runs scored. Ledbetter finished 2-for-3 with one RBI and two runs scored, while Shuey was 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
Sophomore pitcher Jenna Modic earned the victory for the RedHawks in relief. She allowed one run on four hits in 3.1 innings pitched.
In the top of the first of the nightcap, Shuey led off with a single. A sacrifice bunt by Arbour moved her up to second. A groundout by Larrabee moved Shuey up to third. Modic followed with a single that brought Shuey home and gave Miami a 1-0 lead.
A key point early in the game came when Seton Hall (5-18 overall) loaded the bases with only one out in the bottom of the first. Sophomore pitcher Amber Logemann forced a groundout and then recorded a strikeout to keep the Pirates off the board and maintain the RedHawks' 1-0 advantage.
With two outs and the bases empty in the top of the second, junior outfielder Tiyona Marshall reached on an error. Shuey singled to second base, moving Marshall up a base. A single to centerfield by Arbour brought Marshall home and moved Shuey to third base. Shuey was able to steal home to give the RedHawks a 3-0 lead.
Seton Hall scored single runs in the bottom of the second and fifth to pull within one at 3-2 after five innings.
In the top of the sixth, three separate errors by Seton Hall allowed Busby to score and give Miami a 4-2 lead.
The RedHawks put the game away with three runs in the top of the seventh. Arbour led off with a single to leftfield. Ledbetter walked, while Larrabee singled to leftfield, scoring Arbour. A single to centerfield by Modic brought home Ledbetter, making it 6-2. Two batters later, a sacrifice fly by Edwards scored the pinch-runner, redshirt freshman Eryn McCarver, to complete the scoring at 7-2.
Modic finished the nightcap 2-for-4 with two RBI. Arbour was 2-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored. Shuey was 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
Logemann earned the complete game victory for the RedHawks, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out six.
Miami continues play with a pair of games at the Michelle Smith Spring Break Tournament on Saturday. The RedHawks take on Connecticut at 9:30 a.m., and follow it up with a 2:15 contest against Boston University.

The legislature is a part-time citizen legislature that meets annually on the second Monday. In odd-numbered years, the budget year the Legislature meets for 105 days, and in even-numbered years for 60 days. If necessary, the Governor can call legislators in for a special session for a 30-day period. Legislators can call themselves into special session with a two-thirds vote of the two bodies[3].
As of May 2015, Washington is one of 7 Democratic state government trifectas.

Section 12 of Article II allows the dates of regular sessions to be determined by statute. Section 12 limits the length of regular sessions to 105 days in odd-numbered years and 60 days in even-numbered years.
Section 12 also establishes rules for convening special sessions of the Legislature. It states that special sessions can be called by the Governor of Washington or by resolution of two-thirds of the members of each legislative house. Special sessions are not to exceed 30 days in length.

The report card evaluated how adequate, complete and accessible legislative data was to the general public. A total of 10 states received an A: Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.[8]

Washington State Representatives serve a two-year term and are not subject to term limits. All members are up for election on even years. Of the 98 seats up for re-election, incumbents ran in 81 of them.

Section 7 of Article 2 of the Washington State Constitution states, "No person shall be eligible to the legislature who shall not be a citizen of the United States and a qualified voter in the district for which he is chosen."
If there is a vacancy in the House, the Board of County Commissioners where the vacant seat is located has the responsibility to select a replacement.

Legislative redistricting in Washington has been handled by the Washington State Redistricting Commission since 1983. The majority and minority leaders of the state House and Senate each appoint one member, and collectively select a non-voting chairperson. If they cannot agree on the chair, the judgepedia:Washington Supreme Court decides. The Governor does not hold veto power, and the Legislature can only make changes by two-thirds vote.
2010 census
Washington received its local census data on February 23, 2011. The state increased in population by 14.1 percent from 2000 to 2010. The major outlier was Franklin County, which jumped 58.4 percent. As far as the most populous cities, Seattle grew by 8.0 percent, Spokane grew by 6.8 percent, Tacoma grew by 2.5 percent, Vancouver grew by 12.7 percent, and Bellevue grew by 11.7 percent.[11]
The Commission released first draft maps on September 13, 2011. For the third time in a row, the Commission went down to the wire in agreeing on new legislative districts, finishing two hours and five minutes before New Year's Day 2012, at which point the Washington Supreme Court would have taken over. The Commission had mainly been concerned with the eastern districts and how to distribute Yakima Hispanics. The Legislature followed with tweaks, approving the final maps on January 27, 2012.
