O'Rourke is barred from becoming a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, despite representing a congressional district that borders Mexico and is predominantly Hispanic. In July 2013 reports circulated that O'Rourke is ineligible to join the caucus because he lacks Hispanic heritage.[2]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, O'Rourke is an average Democratic member of Congress, meaning he will vote with the Democratic Party on the majority of bills.
O'Rourke grew up in El Paso. He graduated from Columbia University in 1995 with a degree in English. After he graduated, he got a job with a Manhattan web technology company. After three years, he returned to El Paso and co-founded Stanton Street Technology, an internet services and software company, in 1999.[3]

Exclusion from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus
O'Rourke is barred from becoming a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, despite representing a congressional district that borders Mexico and is predominantly Hispanic. In July 2013 reports circulated that O'Rourke is ineligible to join the caucus because he lacks Hispanic heritage.[5]
Legislative actions
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[6] For more information pertaining to O'Rourke's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[7]
National security
American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
More than 100 House lawmakers signed a letter urging President Barack Obama to call Congress back into session if he planned to use military force in Syria.[8]
Rep. Scott Rigell wrote in the letter in August 2013, "engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution."[8][9]
The members of Congress believed that Obama should have asked Congress for permission before engaging in Libya. The letter asked, "If the use of 221 Tomahawk cruise missles, [sic] 704 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, and 42 Predator Hellfire missiles expended in Libya does not constitute 'hostilities,' what does?"[9]
The letter stated, "If you deem that military action in Syria is necessary, Congress can reconvene at your request. We stand ready to come back into session, consider the facts before us, and share the burden of decisions made regarding U.S. involvement in the quickly escalating Syrian conflict."[9]
A total of 98 Republicans signed the letter. O'Rourke was one of 18 Democratic members to sign the letter.[9]
On August 29, 2013, more than 50 House Democrats signed a letter written by California Rep. Barbara Lee that called for a congressional resolution on strikes, and cautioned that the dire situation in Syria "should not draw us into an unwise war—especially without adhering to our constitutional requirements."[9][10] The letter also called on the Obama administration to work with the U.N. Security Council "to build international consensus" condemning the alleged use of chemical weapons. O'Rourke was one of the 50 Democrats in the House to sign the letter.[9][10]
National Defense Authorization Act
O'Rourke voted for HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[11]
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
O'Rourke voted against HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 that was largely along party lines.[12]
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act
O'Rourke voted against HR 624 - the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities. The bill was largely supported by Republicans but divided the Democratic Party.[13]
Federal Statutory Pay Adjustment Elimination
O'Rourke voted against HR 273 - Eliminates the 2013 Statutory Pay Adjustment for Federal Employees. The bill passed the House on February 15, 2013, with a vote of 261 - 154. The bill would prevent a 0.5% pay increase for all federal workers from taking effect, saving the federal government $11 billion over 10 years.[14]
Morton Memos Enforcement Prohibition
O'Rourke voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[15] The vote largely followed party lines.[16]
Health Care Reform Rules
O'Rourke voted against House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires that all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[17]
Social issues
O'Rourke voted against HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196 that largely followed party lines. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[18]
SNAP challenge
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
In June 2013, more than two dozen House Democrats, including O'Rourke, took part in a SNAP challenge, feeding themselves for a week on the average benefit level of a SNAP recipient.[19] Participants agreed to eat all meals from a limited food budget comparable to that of a SNAP participant, approximately $1.50 per meal, or $4.50 a day.[20]
Campaign issues
O'Rourke's campaign website listed the following issues:[21]
- End Corruption
- Excerpt: "The corruption that plagues our community has to stop, but we need reform and new leadership, especially in D.C. where members of Congress use our tax dollars to get re-elected. I will sponsor a bill to set term limits for representatives, so that they focus on getting the job done instead of the special interests that keep them in office."
- True Democrat
- Excerpt: "Instead of focusing on issues that are important to El Pasoans like the economy, jobs and ensuring that our community is well-represented in D.C., the incumbent has chosen to ask if I am a Democrat. Although I put community and country before party and partisan politics, I think my track record shows that I represent the best aspects of the Democratic Party."
- Congressional Reform
- Excerpt: "Each year the same people in Congress make the same self-serving decisions that leave us unprepared to revive a depressed economy, reverse a growing debt burden and renew America's leadership in the 21st century. The country is fed up. Congress' approval rating is now at 9%. So why does Congress have a re-election rate that rivals that of a Middle East dictator (93% over the last 5 years), despite having the lowest approval rating in history?"
- Healthcare Reform
- Excerpt: "While these are important issues to address, the act fails to address problems that are specific to El Paso and the border. As your congressman I will work to make sure that future legislation that carries out the provisions of the PPACA will help, and not hurt, El Paso."
- Reyes Works?
- Excerpt: "You may have seen the billboards reading "Reyes Works", here are the facts: Reyes has one of the worst voting and attendance records in Congress."
- Jobs and the Economy
- Excerpt: "There is greater economic opportunity in this region than in almost any other part of Americas right now. Whether it's our enviable position as the world's largest bi-national metroplex, having the country's largest military installation at Ft. Bliss or the country's newest four-year medical school as the anchor for the Medical Center of the Americas, there is abundant opportunity here."
- Veterans Affairs
- Excerpt: "Our veterans have honorably served our nation. It's time that our nation return the commitment and ensure that they are treated fairly, with dignity and respect. Unfortunately, as far too many veterans in El Paso have shared with me, they do not have the support they are owed."
- Education
- Excerpt: "Investment in education is key to the economic vitality of the nation and the region. As we move away from becoming a manufacturing nation, most jobs will come from a highly skilled labor force. Currently, the U.S. must hire 227,000 scientists and engineers from abroad to keep up with the demand in the U.S. economy."
- Fort Bliss
- Excerpt: "From the time of General John Pershing to the stewardship provided today by Major General Pittard, El Paso has been fortunate to have a strong relationship with Ft. Bliss. I will work to ensure that relationship produces more jobs and economic activity for local businesses in the future."
- Term Limits
- Excerpt: "Unfortunately, most house members are career politicians who are more concerned with the next election cycle than in making these tough decisions. They put personal considerations, party loyalty and payback to lobbyists and big donors before principle. "
O'Rourke is set to run for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. If he runs, he will seek the Democratic nomination in the primary election on March 4, 2014. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
O'Rourke won election in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Texas' 16th District. He defeated incumbent Silvestre Reyes, Ben Mendoza and Jerome Tilghman in the Democratic primary on May 29, 2012. He then defeated Barbara Carrasco (R) and Junart Sodoy (L) in the November 6, 2012, general election.[22][23]
According to Politico, Beto O'Rourke presented Reyes' first real primary threat since the incumbent was elected. O'Rourke portrayed Reyes as unresponsive and entrenched; the challenger also raised significant funding and stands to receive support from the Campaign for Primary Accountability. Reyes responded by gathering endorsements from Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as pointing out O'Rourke's support of marijuana legalization.[24]

Opponent targeted
O'Rourke's opponent, incumbent Silvestre Reyes was targeted by the Super PAC Campaign for Primary Accountability in the 16th district Democratic primary. The PAC targeted Reyes, because he served for a long time, his constituents were dissatisfied and there was a capable challenger.[25]
A Reyes spokesperson criticized the Campaign for Primary Accountability's implicit support of primary Reyes challenger O'Rourke, pointing out that Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor had contributed to the PAC for its efforts in a Republican primary in Illinois. The Huffington Post reports that O'Rourke responded by distancing himself from Cantor, saying he is unfamiliar with the House Majority Leader's politics, but that "if he is emblematic about Republican ideology," O'Rourke would rarely agree with Cantor.[26]

Comprehensive donor information for O'Rourke is available dating back to 2012. Based on available campaign finance records, O'Rourke raised a total of $685,661 during that time period. This information was last updated on March 25, 2013.[27]

Like a divorce (marriage dissolution), an annulment is a court process that ends a marriage. But, an annulment treats the marriage as though it never happened.
MN Statutes §§ 518.02 - 518.05 are the laws that control annulments and they say that a marriage may be annulled if:
A) One party was not able to give their voluntary consent to the marriage at the time of the marriage ceremony because:1. One party has a mental illness, insanity, mental incapacity and the other party did not know about the mental illness, insanity or mental incapacity at the time of the marriage ceremony;OR2. One party was under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other "incapacitating" substance at the time of the marriage ceremony; OR3. Consent was obtained by force or fraud.
ORB) One party is not able to "consummate" the marriage with sexual intercourse and the other party did not know this at the time of the marriage ceremony.OR
C) One of the parties was under the legal age for marriage. The legal age for marriage in Minnesota is age 18, or age 16 or 17 only with the consent of the parents, a guardian, or the court and approval of the application for a marriage license by a Juvenile Court Judge.(See MN Statutes § 517.02.)
NOTE: Whether or not the husband and wife voluntarily lived together after the ceremony, and whether one party kept living with the other party after learning about the incapacity may affect the annulment decision.
The Court does not have forms for annulment. If you believe you qualify for an annulment, you should talk to a lawyer to get legal advice immediately as there are time limits for filing for annulment. (See MN Statutes § 518.05.)
Back to top
QUESTION: My spouse and I are considering a separation, possibly a divorce. What is the difference between a legal separation and a divorce?
ANSWER : In your question, you have used three terms for changes in marriage status:
- separation- legal separation- divorce (also called "marriage dissolution")
"Separation" simply means living apart. You do not need to file court papers to separate. The law does not require you to live with your spouse. However, separating from your spouse may affect your legal rights. It is best to talk to a lawyer before separating.
If you do separate, you will need to arrange for the care of the children, financial support, and payment of bills. A mediator or lawyer can help you and your spouse reach an agreement. A lawyer can advise you on your legal options, if an informal agreement is not possible.
"Legal Separation" is a major change in the status of your marriage. To get a legal separation you must serve and file a petition in District Court in the county where you or your spouse lives. It is a different process from the divorce process. In Minnesota, you do not have to be separated before you get divorced. The process to get a legal separation takes as long as a divorce, and may cost as much or more than a divorce. The courts do not publish forms for legal separation. Your county law library might have more information on legal separation.
In many ways, a legal separation is the same as a divorce. Both include custody, parenting time, child support, and, if appropriate, spousal maintenance (alimony) orders. The parties can also ask the judge to issue an order that divides the parties' assets and debts.
The major difference is that if you have a legal separation, you are still married. If you decide you want to end your marriage after a legal separation is complete, you will then need to go through the court process to get divorced.
QUESTION: Since it costs as much, takes as long, and involves the same major issues, why would anyone want a legal separation?
ANSWER: Some couples choose legal separation because of religious beliefs or moral values against divorce. In a few cases, there may be insurance or other financial reasons for a legal separation.
If you or your spouse are thinking about divorce or legal separation, it is very important to talk with a lawyer and get legal advice. "Legal advice" includes how the law applies to your family situation and knowing your legal options. The lawyer can help you decide whether a legal separation or a divorce is the better choice for you.
Some lawyers offer a free or reduced-fee initial consultation. If there is a consultation fee, it will probably be a good investment to make before you take steps that cannot be undone. Legal separation and divorce can have long-lasting legal and financial impact.

Tuttle's Complete Game Gem Gives Baseball a Weekend Split with Francis Marion after 3-1 Win on Sunday
February 13, 2011
Listen to Sunday's Audio Broadcast Archived Below!
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University sophomore Bryan Tuttle (Lenoir, NC) tossed a complete game with seven strikeouts leading the Falcons to a 3-1 victory over Francis Marion University on Sunday afternoon. The win gives Pfeiffer a weekend split with the Patriots improving to 4-3 overall while FMU dips their mark to 2-3.
The Falcon offense supported Tuttle in the second inning with a two-out rally to post a pair of runs on the board. Tyler Smith (Locust, NC) and Kevin Price (Asheville, NC) started the rally on back-to-back hit by pitches by Patriot starter Joe Wagstaff (Zebulon, NC).
After a wild pitch moved both runners up 90 feet, Smith would score the games first run on a passed ball by FMU catcher Zac Livingston (Goodyear, AZ). Hunter Boehme (Winston-Salem, NC) quickly followed with a RBI-single to center to put the hosts up 2-0.
In the fourth, an unearned run would help pushed the lead to three as Smith reached first on a fielding error at third, plating later on a Jacob Yates (Blairs, VA) two-out single to center.
Francis Marion would get their run across in the fifth as Brock McAllister (Laurel, MD) reached on a fielders choice by hustling to first beating out a potential double play. After a double to left off the bat of Tyler Cappelmann (Sumter, SC), McAllister would score on an errant wild pitch from Tuttle for their only run of the day.
The Patriots threatened in the ninth with a leadoff single from Buddy Sosnoskie (Statesville, NC), but he would soon be erased on a crucial 5-4-3 double play induced by Tuttle off the bat of Preston Shuey (Charlotte, NC). The pitchers best friend proved to be a big play in the ninth as Chris Honeycutt (Fort Mills, SC) came up with a double in the next at-bat. Falcon shortstop Preston Lyon (Gastonia, NC) then made a diving catch on Sam Peppers (Tabernacle, NJ) line drive to end the game.
Tuttle went the distance on Sunday allowing one run on five hits in the win. The right-hander issues just two walks to go along with his seven strikeouts. Yates, along with Jon Gray (Granite Falls, NC) each had a pair of hits in the win. Five different Patriots collected the five base hits on the day for the visitors.
Pfeiffer will take Monday off before entertaining UNC-Pembroke and Carson-Newman on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. First pitch with the Braves on Tuesday is set for 2:00 p.m. Live stats and live audio will be available through www.gofalconsports.com.

I never realized that .4Qts would ruin a 1.8t...get over it. Don't take your car to Midas anymore, and find something else to complain about.
My truck takes 6.5qts and the AWD guys put 7qts in to try and prevent starvation at the front of the pickup on hard launches.
If you go to Midas and bring up the issue of them marking on your oil pan and filling up a full 5qts instead of 4.6 I am sure you'll get a blank stare from the manager for even coming in and complaining about that.

Great Program
These programs are high quality. Thick paper and well crafted. Very happy with the design and process.
Perfect Fan
The fan is small size, perfect for individual hand holding. It is great for outdoor weddings. Julie in customer service was excellent in answering my questions and making the changes I requested. Julie was able to change the font style and the layout exactly the way I wanted it. She is an asset to the company. Also, very quick turnaround on proofs and I received the fans ahead of my time schedule. My wedding guests will adore the wedding program listed on the fan (renewal of vows June 1st). The fans will enhance my day. Thank you very, very much.

what to buy
Food processors have long been a favorite kitchen appliance for chopping and dicing veggies, whipping up dips and puréeing sauces. They also excel at emulsions and, with the right blade attachments, they can save cooks time on tasks like mixing and kneading dough, shredding potatoes, grating cheese, or grinding meat. Some even have specialty discs for making French fries or for ultra-fine veggie slices. Regardless of what you do in the kitchen, we can guarantee that a food processor will save you some time.
The great thing about food processors is that you can buy one to fit your kitchen size, family size and cooking needs. These are the main types that are available.
A full-size food processor will more than earn its keep if you cook a lot, bake, or have a larger family. These typically have a capacity of 7 to 20 cups, and most come with a variety of blades and discs to handle just about any food prep task. This includes shredding discs for grating carrots or shredding potatoes, cutting discs for slicing, hooks for mixing dough, and, of course, several different blades for chopping, mincing, mixing and pureeing. These food processors can range in price from less than $100 to $400 or more. What you want to spend depends upon how often you will use the machine and what kind of demands you will place on it.
Mini food processors are just that: food processors that are small in size, but not in performance. Some of these little guys - usually about a 2- to 4-cup capacity -- can outperform their big brothers when it comes to chopping and mincing, they just don't hold as much. These are often lumped-in with food choppers (see below), but they do more than just chop. A mini food processor costs a lot less than a full-sized processor -- in fact, most are less than $50, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.
Food choppers are handy little tools to have around the kitchen. Sometimes they're small electric appliances -- not very powerful, just enough to dice up an onion or grind some nuts. However, many of the most popular are manual devices that you turn a crank to grind, or "slap" with your hand to chop up your ingredients on a cutting board. They make short work of small quantities of nuts, herbs, peppers and other foods when you just need a cup or less to toss into a recipe or salad. Casual cooks and those with poor knife skills love them for quickly and evenly dicing and mincing. They're particularly popular with people who don't like the tears that come from dealing with onions.
Baby food makers are all-in-one appliances that steam and grind or puree baby food, thus saving your from having to use more than one appliance or piece of cookware. They tend to be very easy to use and virtually fool-proof. New parents seem to particularly like them, as they remove the learning curve inherent in learning how to make your own baby food. Many owners also like having one, single dedicated appliance for making their baby's food, rather than using the family food processor, which may be needed for other tasks.
Most of the complaints we found across the board about food processors are that they don't perform well in processing recipes that require a lot of liquids, like soups, salad dressings, milkshakes, drinks, etc. They splatter and leak, users say. We had to discount those complaints because they're not a fair criticism -- food processors aren't really made for those types of jobs. If you want an appliance that can puree soups and make milkshakes or thin sauces, you want a good blender, and we cover those in our blender report. If you just need to process fairly small amounts of liquids, say, individual cups of soup or a single shake, see our report on hand blenders. And, if you want to make smoothies or juice drinks, you'll love our report on juicers.
To make our top picks in food processors, we analyzed several professional tests, some expert roundups, and hundreds of user reviews. Experts at ConsumerReports.org, Cook's Illustrated, Good Housekeeping and TheSweetHome.com thoroughly test food processors, seeing how evenly and quickly they chop, mince, puree, grate and mix. They also give feedback on noise and the stability of the unit while it's working. In addition, we consulted roundups from sites that have an eye on the home cook, like About.com and Parents.com. While many of these don't conduct hands-on testing, those choosing the products to highlight are generally very knowledgeable in their field.
We give quite a bit of weight to owner reviews because they are the best resource for learning about real-world performance and long-term durability. We pored over hundreds of owner reviews for each of the food processors we chose, weeding out the trivial or nonsensical complaints, and focusing on trends -- both complimentary and critical. This gave us a consensus of opinion by thoughtful, knowledgeable reviewers that was extremely helpful in finalizing our selections. The results of our research is our picks for the best food processors for every type of cook and every size kitchen.

The reception began at the front entrance of the Grandover Resort, where a large sign heralded the arrival of the

He found that out when he held a door open for a stranger Friday night.
"I got called 'sweetie' the other day and that's new to me," MacPherson said. "I held the door open for someone and she said 'thanks sweetie.' You get called different names when you're up North."
The assumption is that those names aren't always terms of endearment.
While some of those names may eventually get tossed back-and-forth across the line of scrimmage on Saturday afternoons and evenings once the games begin this fall, the "new" ACC was nothing but one big, happy family at its first full get-together since its most recent expansion.
"I'm really surprised because I thought maybe it would be similar to the SEC where they didn't really have as much faith in the other teams' ability," MacPherson said.
"I feel like a lot of guys respect us," Pitt's Street added. "We're excited to be part of the ACC. Just talking to other players, they're excited to have us too."

Instead of the ACC's beloved geographic footprint being erased like footprints on a beach at high tide it was the Big East that crumbled and fell, leading to Notre Dame's arrival in all sports except football.
With Louisville set to replace Maryland, which bailed to the Big Ten before the ACC ended the madness by agreeing on a binding grant of rights, the league is now – in the words of commissioner John Swofford – as strong as it has ever been.
For that, the conference spared little expense showing its appreciation to its newest members this weekend.
Not that Pitt coach Paul Chryst is buying it.
"It's a setup," he joked when asked about the welcome signs, the lavish accommodations, the pulled pork and the golf. "They give you free food, pat you on the back and then boom."
That may end up being the case, since the Panthers were picked to finish fifth in the Coastal Division in the media's preseason poll while the
But even if the rest of the ACC does spend the next few months beating up on its newest members, there's a good chance it will at least be polite about it.

Eclipse Version compatibility
Eclipse 3.1 : working update site
Eclipse 3.2 : working update site
Java Version compatibility
Addition one: LANG metadata keyword
First, there is a new metadata keyword called LANG, which as is implied, determines what scripting language you wish to use. Here is an example of an Eclipse Monkey base example ported to Groovy:
Notice the LANG tag, that is all there is to that.
Addition two: Outline view
Secondly, the outline view is populated showing the binding variable names and types with their publicly available methods and fields. This can be useful since the DOMs are loaded on your eclipse ide as plugins and not in your workspace view. Even if you were to load in the DOMs into your workspace, there is still a great deal of switching that must be done.
Addition three: Groovy SWT and Launch Manager DOMs
Thirdly, there are new DOMs that are located on the update site that include direct access to a console for output, enable you to script your launch configurations together and a wrapper for the Groovy SWT project as a DOM.
Here is an example of a script, copied from the examples given in Groovy-SWT, ported into Groovy Monkey.
Here is an example of a script that uses the Launch Configuration Manager DOM along with the JFace/SWT DOM and the Console output DOM. It prints out the list of all your available launch configurations and allows you to select which ones you wish to string together.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Miami University softball team earned a split against preseason Mid-American Conference East Division favorite Bowling Green on Saturday. The RedHawks continued their undefeated start to MAC play with a 3-2 victory in the opener, but they fell, 5-1, in the nightcap. Miami is now 7-19 on the season and 3-1 in the MAC. The Falcons are 13-11 overall and 1-3 in the MAC.
In the opener, the 'Hawks struck quickly with a run in the top of the first inning. With one out, Tiyona Marshall singled to center field and advanced to second when the centerfielder mishandled the ball. A Kayla Ledbetter groundout moved her up to third. Marshall scored when Shanyn McIntyre recorded an infield single to first base.
In the top of the fourth, Kylie McChesney led off with a double to center field. Remy Edwards followed with a single to center field, allowing McChesney to come home and make it 2-0.
Meanwhile Paige Myers kept Bowling Green off the board through her first four innings of work, allowing only one hit. In the bottom of the fifth, a single, a walk and a fly out put runners on second and third with only one out. Megan Mattera came in to relieve Myers and recorded a fly out to right field and a groundout to second to end the threat.
Miami recorded an insurance run in the top of the seventh. Kristy Arbour led off with a single down the right field line. Taylor Shuey sacrifice bunted her over to second. A Marshall groundout moved her up to third, and an infield single by Ledbetter brought Arbour home and made it 3-0.
The RedHawks needed that insurance run as Bowling Green rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh to cut the deficit to one. With runners on first and second and one out, Mattera would record a strike out and induce a groundout to earn her first career save and secure the 3-2 victory.
Marshall finished the opener 2-for-4 with one run scored. Ledbetter and McIntyre were each 1-for-4 with one RBI.
The Falcons scored three runs in bottom of the first of game two off starter Jenna Modic. Myers came in to relieve her, but BGSU would score two more in the bottom of the second with the help of two hits and a Miami error to make it a 5-0 game.
Myers would keep Bowling Green off the board the rest of the game, but it took until the top of the seventh inning for the RedHawks to solve Falcon starter Jamie Kertes. Arbour and Shuey each singled to begin the frame. A passed ball would advance Arbour over to third. Ledbetter singled down the right field line to bring her home and make it 5-1. The Miami offense stalled from there and the Falcons went on to earn the split.
Myers allowed one earned run and six hits in six innings of work. She struck out four. Ledbetter finished 2-for-4 with one RBI. Shuey and Marshall each recorded two hits for the RedHawks.
Miami will host Butler for its home opening doubleheader on Tuesday. The first game is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m.

Men's Soccer Erases Three-Goal Deficit; Regis Scores Twice in 4-3 Victory
October 12, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Nathan Regis converted on two penalty kicks, including the game winner in the 84th minute, as the Pfeiffer mens soccer team (5-6-1, 2-4 CC) erased a three-goal deficit and came away with a 4-3 victory over North Greenville. The Falcons offensive barrage featured 30 shots, 15 in each half, and 13 corner kicks as they completed the dramatic comeback.
The Crusaders (3-7, 1-3) scored three times in the first 22:25 of play and looked like they would cruise to victory. Ben Montry accounted for one goal and two assists in the first 23 minutes and Todd Johnston added a goal and an assist for the visitors.
In the 32nd minute, Pfeiffer got a much needed goal from Regis as he converted on his first PK of the afternoon. Kyle Toler was dragged down in the box resulting in the penalty kick and the freshmen easily beat the Crusader keeper.
You have to give credit to North Greenville they came out flying and scored three in the first 22 minutes, said Bob Reasso, first year Head Coach. The goal before half time got us back in the game.
Reasso rallied the troops at halftime and asked for a greater effort. What he got was a dominating performance on both sides of the ball. Pfeiffer scored three second half goals and permitted North Greenville to attempt only three shots, with none of them being on goal.
Corey Davis cut the deficit to one as he took a perfect feed from Kyle Toler for his second goal of the season. Just under six minutes later, Paco Cortez took a feed from Regis and beat the keeper in the bottom right corner to tie the game at three.
With momentum clearly on their side, Pfeiffer continued to attack and kept the Crusaders on their heels. Pfeiffer had multiple chances to take the lead, with two shots hitting the crossbar and goalkeeper Pablo Dongarra making a great stop on a point blank attempt by Regis, but the game remained tied into the 84th minute. Aldo Ramirez made a post run and was taken down, resulting in Pfeiffers second penalty kick of the contest. Regis calmly stepped up and put the shot in for the winner.
Losing over time has a strange effect on teams and programs, its as if they expect it, said Reasso. Hopefully we drove some of those demons from the past away today. I have been involved in the game a long time and that was one of the greatest fight backs I have seen. You have to credit our guys for not giving up and competing on a high level. You see how important Nathan Regis is to us. We played a four game stretch where he played about 40 minutes total and it really hurt us. Having him back makes us a different team.
For the match, Pfeiffer dominated in all statistical categories. They led in shots 30-14, including a 26-7 advantage after falling behind 3-0, and held a 13-2 edge in corners. Freshman keeper Nicolas Dulac made one save to improve to 5-6-1 and Dongarra made 12 stops in the losing effort. Regis set a career-high with a five-point game.

Keo.co.za talks to Golden Lions U18 coach Wynand Moolman about this year's Craven Week.
Which school in Gauteng has the most players in the Lions side, and has that school been the best performer?
Monument High School [in Krugersdorp] has 10. The school is always successful in rugby and has produced top quality players like Jaque Fourie, Jorrie Muller and Brendan Venter. So, it's got a lot of talent.
How many players from last year's Craven Week team feature in this year's team?
Three – Chad de Klerk [right wing, Monument], Sifiso Chabangu [wing, Jeppe Boys' High] and Tshepo Mooki [fullback, Florida Park]. We also have Ruan Steenkamp [eighthman, Monument] who was in the Academy team last year.
Who is your captain, and why did you give him the responsibility?
Steenkamp. He's a natural leader.
Will you change the team's approach for this year's campaign?
This is my first year as head coach. We may play differently to last year.
What are the Golden Lions' strengths?
We've got a lot of all-round talent. We boast a good pack of fowards and a very exciting backline.
Which teams do you expect to give your team a tough time?
Eastern Province, Free State and Western Province usually boss the other teams around, but you cannnot underestimate the 'smaller' rugby provinces because every year teams come with almost completely different squads.
What are your coaching ambitions?
Well, this is my first year as coach of the Craven Week team, so I will take everything from here. I do this for the love of the game. I can't really say I want a certain coaching position in a particular team. I just want to do my best – in every practice session and in every match. I just want to give the best that I can and then the rest will fall into place.

Last hired, first fired: Where are you in line?
Friday - 9/7/2012, 2:00am EDT
So if Uncle Sam really goes over the dreaded fiscal cliff in January, do you have a parachute?
This — maybe like your last blind date — could get ugly!
Groups representing federal workers and federal contractors are often at odds, and agree on very few things. But when they toss the S-word around, they are on the same gloom-and-doom page. And while they get paid to worry and fix things or head off trouble, real or manufactured, this time they may be correct.
Sequestration is coming. Few if any of us have seen it before, but just about everybody agrees it would not be a good thing. For the nation, the economy and you. And me.
In simple terms, sequestration would mandate something like $109 billion in cuts starting early next year. Experts — some credentialed, some just guessing — say it would result in an 11 percent across-the-board cut in federal agencies. That could, by some estimates, mean a reduction in 108,000 Defense Department civilians jobs and a total of 270,000 governmentwide (excluding the already downsizing postal service).
Many of the nonfederal job cuts over the past four years have been in state and local governments. Some hard-hit cities and states have changed future benefits and reduced current payouts. In most cities and states governors, mayors and local elected officials decided where the job cuts were made. In the federal government, that won't be the case.
Officials (anxious to stress the worst-case scenario) point out that under civil service rules the last-hired are the first fired. The Clinton administration faced a similar scenario when the President decided to eliminate about 270,000 federal jobs. Because it didn't want to wipe out its diversity- hiring gains (women and minorities) it came up with the buyout program which was aimed at luring otherwise fireproof male veterans to leave for a $25,000 payment. That was a lot more money back in the 1990s when a gallon of gas cost a lot less than a pack of cigarettes.
At today's prices, that 1990s-era buyout payment (which shrinks dramatically after deductions) doesn't have the same buying power. Dozens of agencies are offering buyouts, but in many cases fewer than half those offered buyouts are taking them. The exception is people who otherwise had planned to retire this year for whom the buyouts were a pleasant surprise.
The Obama administration has dropped a few horrible hints as to what might happen to public services — from weather forecasting to national parks — if sequestration took place. But, for the most part, it has told agencies to cool it with any panic talk. But that could change overnight.
Congress — some of whose members would love to see the government shut down and go away — passed the Sequestration Transparency Act that required federal agencies, by yesterday, to publish their over-the-cliff plans and forecast.
The situation should become clearer (it could hardly get more murky or mysterious) over the next few weeks. But lots of people who watch the government for a living say the options and solution (if one is reached) won't be clear until well after the election.

Hard, spherical candies can take nearly a half hour to fully dissolve, according to a new study, "Sticky physics of joy: On the dissolution of spherical candies," published in the journal Physics Education. Researchers placed the candies in a dish of "slightly agitated tap water," which approximates the pH level of human saliva, according to NPR's food blog, The Salt. The candies dissolved entirely after about 25 minutes.
Senate committee questions GSA
IG about investigation tactics
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has asked the General Services Administration's Inspector General to explain what some would call his staff's aggressive tactics during the investigation of the agency's SmartPay conference in Nashville last month.
Retirement claims hit highest level
since January
Federal employees submitted nearly 9,000 retirement claims in August - more than in any other month besides January, which typically sees a wave of feds taking retirement. The Office of Personnel Management received 8,973 retirement claims in August, nearly a thousand more than it projected. The agency processed 11,896 claims, also surpassing its goals.
TSP numbers continue upward climb in August
Returns for the Thrift Savings Plan continued their steady upward climb last month, with all funds posting in positive territory for the month of August, according to new data from the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board.
Census asks employees to
grade themselves in cost-cutting effort
Agency leaders say they hope employees will help the Census Bureau fill critical workforce skills gaps. The self-assessments are aimed at upgrading the way workers collect, process and analyze data about the U.S. ahead of the 2020 census.

About 2 Chainz
Life of 2 Chainz 'Based on a T.R.U. Story' (Updated January 16, 2013)
Originally known by the moniker "Tity Boi" while a member of the Atlanta-based Playaz Circle, rapper 2 Chainz launched his solo career in 2007 with the mixtape "Me Against the World." He's been hot ever since, with his debut studio album, "Based on a T.R.U. Story" bowing at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in August 2012.
2 Chainz was the third act of the calendar year to start at No. 1 with a debut studio effort, but had already notched 10 hit singles on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart since 2011. The song "No Lie" (featuring Drake) became his second No. 1 (and first as a lead act) after a collaboration track, "Mercy", spent five nonconsecutive weeks at the top. The song was credited to Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz, and shows the star power behind his push to the top.
Working with big names has become a bit of an art form for 2 Chainz, who grew up as Tauheed Epps in College Park, Georgia. After forming the hip hop duo Playaz Circle, Ludacris began recording several songs with the group. He ultimately became one of the best-selling rappers in the country, and he eventually signed Epps to his record label Disturbing Tha Peace, a subsidiary of Def Jam Recordings.
The man known as 2 Chainz has come a long way since then. He's part of Kanye West's GOOD Music label, facilitated his first solo tour (which wrapped December 22 in Vancouver), and won 4 BET Hip Hop Awards. He's also nominated for 3 Grammys, including Best Rap Album, and should have a sophomore album released by April 2013.

Men's Volleyball Claims At-Least a Share of Regular Season Title, Playoff Home Game, with 3-1 Win over Lees-McRae
March 31, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pfeiffer University men's volleyball claimed at-least a share of the 2012 Conference Carolinas regular season title with a 3-1 (25-21, 25-23, 23-25, 25-16) victory over Lees-McRae College on Saturday afternoon. The victory assures the Falcons of at-least one home game in the 2012 tournament improving to 18-6 overall, 8-1 in league play while the Bobcats fall to 9-8, 4-4.
Quentin Moore (Richmond, VA) and Caleb Brophy (Mission Viejo, CA) each led the Falcons with 16 kills on the day. Brophy hit .400 in the four-set win while David Frazee (West Palm Beach, FL) with 9-for-15 in the kill department hitting .600. David Specian (Loxahatchee, FL) put up 43 assists in the win while leading in the dig category with Moore concluding at nine. Pfeiffer hit .462 in set four to finish off the Bobcats. Jose Ribas (Guaynabo, PUERTO RICO) would lead Lees-McRae and all hitters with 18 kills.
The Falcons now needs a loss by Limestone or a win against Barton on April 11th to claim the outright regular season title, which would be the first for men's volleyball and first for Pfeiffer since 2008. Live stats and video will be available for the regular-season finale at http://www.gofalconsports.com.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Vice Chairman designate of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement after the announcement that GDP decreased at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012:
"Today's GDP number is a reminder of the continuing need to enact policies that encourage growth and create jobs. While 2012 saw progress on several fronts, including a reduction of the unemployment rate from 8.3 percent to 7.8 percent, the economy's deceleration in the fourth quarter of last year shows that policies to help businesses create jobs and expand the economy continue to be necessary.
"The decline in exports underscores the importance of strengthening and enforcing trade laws and cracking down on unfair trade practices. I will continue to fight to level the playing field for American manufacturers. As we debate the nation's fiscal path forward over the coming months, it is vital for Republicans and Democrats to come together to give American businesses and consumers confidence that we can create jobs and deal with the deficit in a responsible way."

Beat the cold and save the day with a hat that you can make without sewing!
Find the Wonder Pets! on Nick Jr.
Cut the red fleece into a rectangle that measures 13 inches high by the width of your child's head plus 1 inch.
Right sides together, fold the fleece in half, aligning the two 13-inch edges. Glue along the inside of these edges, stopping about 4 inches from one end. Dry thoroughly.
Just below the glue area, snip in (perpendicular to the seam) about 1/2 inch deep.
Turn the hat right side out. Overlap the two unglued edges. Glue in place. Let dry.
Roll up the hat from the bottom (about three times) to create a rolled cuff.
Print and cut out the flyboat template.
Trace the shapes and cut the boat's body, mast, sail, topper, wheels, axles, and badge from the felt.
When the hat is dry, place the seam at the back, and glue the flyboat pieces onto the area above the rolled cuff.
Cut a short, narrow strip from the red fleece. Gather the top of the hat like a ponytail, and use the strip to tie it tight. Knot. Snip ends close to the knot.
Fringe the top of the hat above the tie.
