Wayland Baptist University offers students a variety of majors in the best atmosphere for Christian colleges.
Master of Arts in English (M.A.) – The 37-hour Master of Arts in English program is designed to prepare students for teaching, further graduate work, creative writing, or related writing and research fields. Two options or tracks are available, each requiring a total of 37 graduate hours: The thesis-option track requires 6 hours of thesis and an oral defense, while the non-thesis track requires 6 additional hours of coursework. Both the thesis and the non-thesis track require a written comprehensive exam.
Admission Requirements (in addition to those listed for all graduate students):
Applicants for the Master of Arts in English must have the following:
Two-step application process:
1. Apply to the Graduate School/Program: Graduate Admission Requirements
Application for all graduate students
2. Apply to the School of Languages and Literature's MA in English Program by completing
and submitting the following:
a. Writing sample (8-10 pages, preferably academic in nature)
b. Two academic letters of recommendation
Final admission to the program requires the Dean of Languages and Literature's approval, which includes consideration of the items above, and then the two items:
Program Options
Thesis Track (37 hours total, 6 must be thesis hours) - The thesis hours require a student to demonstrate the ability to do independent research. A committee of three full-time English professors, selected by the student and approved by the Dean of the School, will supervise the thesis. One member of the committee will serve as the student's chair or advisor throughout the thesis process. Once the student begins work on the thesis, continuous enrollment in thesis hours must be maintained until completion of the Thesis. (However, summer enrollment is required only if the student anticipates working on or completing the thesis in the summer term.) Near the completion of the thesis, the student must successfully present and support it before committee members, and then publicly present it to the University audience.
Non-Thesis Track (37 hours total) – In lieu of writing a thesis, students may choose to complete two additional courses.
Comprehensive Exam (1 hour) – Students in both tracks, thesis and non-thesis, must complete a comprehensive exam one or two semesters prior to the completion of coursework. The exam requires students to familiarize themselves with specific texts from the current reading list and write responses to those texts. A committee of three full-time English professors, selected by the Dean of the School and approved by the full-time faculty, read and evaluate all comprehensive exams completed in a semester.
Results of the comprehensive exam are "Credit/CR" or "No Credit/NCR."
*Students who fail the comprehensive exam on the first attempt may attempt the exam a second time in the next four terms. No student will be allowed to repeat an examination more than once without taking additional course work.

Rudi was a punk rock/power pop band, formed in 1975 in East Belfast.
The original members of the band were Brian Young,Ronnie Matthews, Graham Marshall, Leigh Carson and Gordon Blair. The name Rudi came from a single called "Oo Oo Rudi" by The Jook. The band started off by playing cover versions of glam rock songs and music from the 1960s. Brown and Carson left the band shortly after its formation, and Johnny Stewart was brought in on bass. By 1976, punk rock was emerging, and the band adopted a new pop punk sound. They were unable to get regular gigs, so the band resorted to booking hotels for private parties. By 1977, their set contained a mix of glam, punk and 1960s covers mixed with a few originals.
In October 1977, The Clash were due to play the Ulster Hall, Belfast. The concert was cancelled at the last minute due to the insurance being withdrawn. The crowd reacted by trying to block Bedford Street, and a confrontration broke out with the police. This event became the inspiration for Rudi's most popular song, "Cops", with the chorus "We hate the cops".Stewart left the band and Gordon Blair joined on bass. In January 1978, they played a gig with another Belfast band, The Outcasts, at The Pound. Later that same month, a support slot with Buzzcocks turned into a headline spot, when the Buzzcocks got stranded on the other side of the Irish Sea, however in April 1978, Rudi released their debut single, "Big Time". The song was originally intended to be given away as a free flexidisc with a fanzine, but the band discovered they could release a proper vinyl single for the same cost. With the help of Terry Hooley, who had seen them at the Pound gig earlier that year, the Good Vibrations record label was born, and "Big Time" was its first release. Rudi decided that it was the time to try their luck in London, but things did not work out and they returned to Belfast. In their absence, another single was released, "Overcome By Fumes", and the band continued to gig locally.
In 1979, the band were filmed for a segment of the forthcoming Northern Ireland punk movie, Shell Shock Rock, being made by John T. Davis, and they also played at the Dark Space Festival in Dublin with U2. Shortly after, they released the I Spy EP (with the James Bond theme song as the introduction to the title track). At about this time, they made another journey to England to play some gigs and record demos and sessions for Radio 1. Blair then left and later joined The Outcasts, whilst Mathews took over the bass for the England trip. After returning to Belfast, the band appeared with The Undertones in an edition of the BBC 2 youth programme Something Else, recording a two-song set consisting of "Who? You!" and "The Pressure's On". In 1980, the band split from Good Vibrations after the record label allegedly failed to release the "Who? You!" single in time to cash in on the band's Something Else appearance.
In 1981, Rudi signed a recording contract with a new label called Jamming (funded by Paul Weller of The Jam). During their time on Jamming, they put out two singles, the When I Was Dead EP, (which came with a limited edition insert) and "Crimson". They were joined on keyboards by Paul Martin of Pretty Boy Floyd and The Gems. They supported the Jam on a few dates of their Transglobal Unity Express Tour, however the Jam split up, which meant the Jamming label would be wound up. Soon after, Rudi also split up.
Mathews, Marshall and Young re-emerged as Station Superheaven, however Mathews and Marshall eventually quit the music industry. Young went on to lead the Belfast rockabilly band, The Sabrejets.
Rudi has also been made a well known name throughout boys and girls. Eg. Rudi McClurg from Bangor N.I

Terrific Toulouse - Dewi
By Jamie Hunt
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Dewi Morris selects his highlights from the opening weekend of the Heineken Cup
DEWI'S HEINEKEN CUP PICKS - Week 1
Each week during the Heineken Cup, former England international scrum-half and Sky Sports expert Dewi Morris will select his Heineken Cup highlights.
From the opening weekend early in October 2005 all the way through to the final in Cardiff in May 2006, Dewi will choose his Try, Players, Team, Moment and Villain of the week.
Don't agree with Dewi's selections? Why not email him here.
Here in his first selection of the 2005/06 competition, Dewi delights in champions Toulouse living up to their billing as the team to beat this time around.
Simon Webster - EDINBURGH GUNNERS v London Wasps
Two years ago they beat Toulouse and again Edinburgh have proved that they can beat the big boys. They did it by frustrating Wasps and then turning on the style. It was very well worked try with Webster coming off the bench to score it.
TOULOUSE v Llanelli Scarlets
I know some times they are bad but when they are good they are mouth-wateringly brilliant. From one to 15, in fact one to 22 when they come on, they just know how to play the game. They play with power and incredible passion but they just have the intensity and skill levels that some sides in the Guinness Premiership can dream about. They were simply brilliant.
Sebastien Chabal - SALE SHARKS v Munster
If they are going to go further then Sale are going to need a pack of forwards and if this guy keeps injury-free, he is going to be a handful for anyone. He made the big tackle of substitute prop Federico Pucciariello, turned the ball over, (Charlie) Hodgson kicked it down there and (Jason) Robinson scored the decisive try.
Mark van Gisbergen - WASPS v Edinburgh Gunners
He did make an exhilarating break earlier on but that was a critical decision and really he should have hoofed that ball down the park. That is the guidline we are going on and if he is going to be picked for England, he can't make those mistakes playing at international level.
He is a great, fantastic player with a bright future and hopefully that is something he will learn from.
Clement Poitrenaud - TOULOUSE v Llanelli.
Clement Poitrenaud has shaken off the shackles of Rob Howley's winning try for Wasps in the 2003 Heineken Cup final, has come back stronger and his break through the middle for Gareth Thomas' try against Llanelli was brilliant.
Making the break intitially was a turbo-charged change of pace, it was electrifying and his strength took him through the middle of Llanelli. The quick offload enabled Florian Fritz to put Thomas into the right corner. It typified everything about a good back playing in a very good team. It was exceptional skill.

The small engines that run lawn mowers need their oil changed just like car engines. Most mower engines need their oil changed every 20-50 hours of operation.
A mower's owner's manual will indicate how often to perform oil changes on the mower. At the very least, an oil change should be done annually with other seasonal tune-up maintenance.
This article explains the steps for changing oil in most mowers. Changing mower oil is very simple and can take as little as five minutes.
Step 1: Prepare for the Oil Change
1. Warm up the engine
Warming up the mower engine will speed up the oil change because the oil will flow more freely. It will also be a little easier to get all of the old oil out of the engine.
2. Clean around the oil fill area.
Use an air compressor or a clean towel to clean up around the oil fill area
3. Prepare an oil pan to catch the oil.
You'll need an oil pan or something similar to catch the oil from the mower. Position the pan on the side of the mower towards which you will tip it to drain the oil.
Step 2: Dump the Old Oil
4. Remove the oil fill cap.
5. Tip the lawn mower on its side to drain its oil.
It's a good idea to leave the mower resting on its side for about a minute while all of the old oil drips out.

The video is a little long but worth it. Clearly these guys know what they are going after and are doing a good job. They have it 24% funded at the time of writing this article which is a clear indication of support and interest in this project. America's Blues is attempting to take a different angle on the history of blues. The Blues has influenced nearly every form of American Music and sadly, aside from its part in the birth of Rock and Roll, it's influence often goes unrecognized. Beyond its musical impact, it has reached into so many other art forms, such as paintings, sculpture and even television and film. It has even become the culture of entire cities and helped to put them on the map.
Through interviews with musicians, historians, artist, professionals and activists, a compelling story of the music's significant historical contribution unfolds. They examine the musical impact it has had on all forms of Popular American Music, as well as the influence it has had on art, fashion, language, film and racial equality. They have been working on this film for over 2 yeas and been traveling to complete it.
Your contribution to this campaign pays for:
-A NYC Trip to interview the Music Supervisor on the movie, the Blues Brothers (1980); several 2013 Grammy Nominees, and a Grammy Award and Tony Award Winning Artist.
-An LA trip to interview several other Celebrities (the names will be confidential until we can guarantee that we can pay for the trip)
-A Graphic Artist to finish our Movie Poster & DVD Cover
-Online target marketing and an aggressive PR strategy
-Some of the costs necessary to use copyrighted archival footage in our film (which is unavoidable considering the topic)
-Legal counsel**

Orlando Dog Massage
Many pet owners are coming to realize the benefits of Orlando Dog Massage. Massage can help animals have a better quality of life. Massage works on a dog's body in many of the same ways it works on a human's body. Dogs have thoughts and feelings just like people, they can get lonely and sometimes they may develop anxiety.
Orlando dog massage can help dogs improve circulation and improve flexibility. It can be considered a form of exercise since the skin and muscles are pushed and pulled. The improvement in circulation that stems from a massage is equal to a thirty minute walk. Not all pet owners are able to give their dogs the exercise that they need on a daily basis so signing the pets up for regular massages can help keep them in shape.
Another use of massage for dogs is to help pets who have had surgery or experienced an injury. It can be used as a gentle form of therapy. Dogs can become more relaxed and may be able to recuperate faster. It is a process that all dogs can receive a benefit from.
There are more pet owners who are becoming interested in holistic pet care each year. People are starting to want more information about how they can receive holistic treatments and they want to provide the same types of treatments for their pets. These treatments can be used to relieve age related problems and can provide relief from soreness, spasms, or muscle weakness. Emotional well-being can also be improved. Hyperactivity, nervousness, and anxiousness can be treated through massage. Behavioral issues can decrease over time which can help the pet and the pet owner develop a better relationship.

March Madness Bracket Pick: VCU vs. Wichita State Preview
- Updated: March 14, 2012
Two of the top mid major teams in the country are going to meet in the second round of NCAA Tournament betting action on Thursday, when the VCU Rams take on the Wichita State Shockers.
Over the course of the last two years, the Butler Bulldogs have been the mid-major sweetheart to really go on a remarkable run and make it to the National Championship Game. VCU made it to the Final Four last year before bowing out to Butler, and now, with a severely different team, Head Coach Shaka Smart and the gang are going to try to do damage once again. The only man that is back from last year's team in the starting lineup is Bradford Burgess. He is good for 13.3 points per game, and he is one of the three that are good for double digits in scoring. Darius Theus has improved as the year has gone by taking care of the basketball, and his 161 assists are almost as many as the rest of the team has combined. He's not the man that is going to push the tempo as Virginia Commonwealth did last year, but he can do the job as a passer and take the big shot if needed as well. Last year, the Rams caught fire with the three ball, and this year, that is going to have to be the case again. However, they shot just 33.7 percent from beyond the arc this year, and that certainly won't cut it in this one.
The Shockers have a lot of bones that they need to settle in this one. They were beaten in the semifinals of the Missouri Valley Tournament, a tournament that many thought they would run right through to get onto maybe as high as the No. 3 line in the dance. To make matters worse, they were beaten by these Rams last year by a single point at home, and that win in BracketBusters really could have made the difference between VCU getting into the dance and being left in the NIT. The Shockers average 77.7 points per game, and they have just a slew of scores. Six guys are averaging at least 8.3 points per game, including Garrett Stutz, the team's top scorer at 13.5 points per game and the top rebounder at 8.0 boards per game. Three of the bigs are shooting at least 55 percent from the floor, and there are very few teams in the land that can say that they have the same level of efficiency that the Shockers do.

The Final Word: With apologies to VCU, we just don't think that it is going to be able to do this year what it did in 2011. It was a great story while it lasted, but in the end, we know which one of these teams is clearly superior. Wichita State will get its revenge and make a big statement to the rest of the field that it could be well on its way to a great run here in March.

This printer is great! Very satisfied. Setup the scanning to network folders and to email. Very happy with everything. If you are not into computers you may have a hard time setting it up to scan to email but I had no issues. Print speeds are excellent as is the quality. I paid [$] Overall I'm very happy and of coarse HP comes through again.
We use the printer for all business emailsI use it to print all of my real estate docsIt is reliable and easy to useI am still trying to set up the scanning of multiple pages of docs into an email
I have not had the printer long but it seems to be GREAT so far. In the review I would have give it 5 stars, however I did fault it on the large footprint it has.Thanks,
Love this printer. Am still learning about everything it does but it is very easy to operate and prints great. I do a lot of scan to e-mail.It is well worth the money that we spent on it.
Absolutely awful machine. First new machine did not work; replacement "refurbished" machine did not work; second "refurbished" machine works only on rare occasions. I have owned several HP printers in the past. NEVER again! HP support non-existent. I am pretty easy going, but this is ridiculous. On the rare occasions when it actually will print, the copies are usually decent, if you have the patience to wait for the right day.

NASHVILLE—ADT says unscrupulous door-to-door sales reps have some new scams and the Electronic Security Association has updated its code of ethics to specifically ban them.
BOCA RATON, Fla.—ADT is offering as much as $25,000 to anyone willing to blow the whistle on security companies that train their door-to-door sales teams to use deceptive sales techniques, the home security giant announced this week.
BOCA RATON, Fla.—Just months after settling one lawsuit with Utah-based Vision Security over what The ADT Corp. characterized as Vision's deceptive sales pitches, ADT announced today that it has filed a second lawsuit accusing Vision of similar practices.
BOCA RATON, Fla.—Residential security giant ADT is suing Pinnacle Security in federal court, alleging the Utah-based summer model company and its employees used unlawful and deceptive sales strategies to steal ADT's customers and damage its reputation.
BOCA RATON, Fla.—Residential security giant ADT says it is actively going after security companies, big and small, who make "the mistake" of using signage that looks like ADT's trademarked octagonal, blue sign. This summer, ADT filed lawsuits against three companies and won permanent injunctions against those companies, which means they're legally prohibited from using the blue octagonal signs to advertise their businesses.

MARION The season has presented its share of challenges for the Linn-Mar Lions.
They have endured injuries that have led to some disappointments along the way. Even though they are not totally healthy, the Lions are close.
The Lions adopted the attitude of making their mark in the postseason, performing like they did when they had their best lineup intact.
"Obviously, the year hasn't gone the way we wanted it," Streicher said. "You can still put a pretty darn good stamp on the end of the year."
Fifth-ranked Linn-Mar dominated its way to a fourth straight state duals berth last night with a 53-18 victory over No. 12 West Des Moines Dowling last night in a Class 3A regional dual at Linn-Mar. The Lions will face Mississippi Valley Conference rival Cedar Rapids Prairie in the state dual quarterfinals Feb. 19 at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines at 9 a.m.
The senior class has reached the state dual tournament every year, and the team qualified for the fifth time in school history. Third-ranked 195-pound senior Andrew Holladay said he didn't envision accomplishing that feat of four trips to the state duals when he was a freshman.
"I really didn't know what to think, but you hope for it," said Holladay, who had one of seven Linn-Mar pins against Dowling. "It's a big deal for us as a team. We've talked about that all week, too."
Linn-Mar (22-6) had the dual well in hand by the time the Maroons had even won a match. The Lions started at their strength, putting four ranked wrestlers on the mat.
Sixth-ranked Noah Ajram opened with a decision at 113 pounds, and that was followed by No. 1 120-pounder Alijah Jeffery's fall. Seventh-ranked Damon Griffin at 126 and No. 5 Matt Wempen at 132 added a decision and major decision to put Linn-Mar up 17-0.
"We had our moments," Streicher said. "You have to look at position by position where we thought we needed to improve, and (we) told those guys not to get slowed down."
The Lions rolled with three straight falls from Manny Jeffery at 138, A.J. Geers at 145 and top-ranked 152-pounder Ross Lembeck. Manny Jeffery and Geers trailed by a point in the second before earning their pins.
Shea Hartzler at 170 and Sam Nowak at 220 also had pins as the Lions won 10 of 14 matches.
"We were aggressive," Geers said. "We got the falls."
The convincing performance provided an exclamation mark on the state duals accomplishment heading into Saturday's district tournament for traditional state tournament qualifying.
"We came out strong," Holladay said. "We did what we had to do to dominate the whole thing."
Streicher did not want to address the team's approach to competing in the state duals next Wednesday.
"No comment," Streicher said.
Some teams in the past have tweaked state duals lineups since the traditional tournament begins the next day.

Prostate Cancer Management: Introduction and Overview
Published Online: Wednesday, December 12, 2012
For High-Definition, ClickIn the first installment of the series, the moderator, Raoul S. Concepcion, MD, provides an overview of the prostate cancer treatment continuum and introduces the panel, which includes: Steve Dobbs, Bryan A. Mehlhaff, MD, Neal D. Shore, MD, and Daniel R. Saltzstein, MD.
This panel discussion seeks to address a range of challenges facing the treatment of men with prostate cancer. Panelist will discuss a range of topics, from data on the many new treatments for prostate cancer to reimbursement and other practice management issues.
Concepcion provides a summary of the current treatment continuum for men with prostate cancer. He explains that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is still used as the early treatment for advancing prostate cancer in patients who have failed definitive therapy. In general, ADT lowers androgen levels and stops the growth of prostate cancer cells. However, patients will eventually fail ADT, which manifests in a raise in PSA levels. Following the failure of hormonal therapy, urologists have traditionally referred patients to medical oncologists.

When I finally got off the tram I knew that I couldn't make it home without a breath of fresh air on the back of my neck so I waddled (no joke, chafing galore over here) into Target to buy a new bucket so that I could mop the floors at home (said bucket then became my icey cold foot bath that night) and to kill time I headed to the childrens wear department.
A part from looking at the Collette Dinnigan for The Australian Ballet stock I had never looked at Targets childrens wear but holy moly they had some cute stuff.
I cant find it online but I know that it was under $25 with the matching bloomers, and they had 20% off childrens wear so that was a win.
I got all of these dresses in 12 months up I am pretty sure.
I plan on being matchy matchy with my daughter.
I figure that I can dress her up in cute dresses for family dinners, birthdays, church and the like until she is old enough to work out her own style and undoubtedly refuse to wear them.
I refused to wear anything but track suit pants after a certain age because the fabric was nice on my skin, according to my mum. Don't worry though, there were lots of frilly dresses to go around.
Same goes for this dress, cant find online but was under $20 and also came with matching bloomers with a ruffle butt which I didn't take a photo of.
I was waving them around singing "Ruffle Butt, Ruffle Butt" and The Husband just watched on in slight amusement.
I was so impressed with the quality of the kids clothes, definitely better than ladies wear if you ask me.
Navy Spot Party Dress - $18
The fabric on this isn't a light cotton like the others, but it seems breathable and time will tell I suppose.
I see lots of frilly socks and mary janes in the little tackers future.
I didn't see this in store, only online, but I have put two sizes on hold so that I can check them out tomorrow and see if I like them.
I cant help this addiction guys. At least I have stopped buying baby wear!!
Even The Husband got a kick out of looking at these when he got home and said that our steamer will be perfect for them, as he doesn't trust me with the iron - for good reason.
I think he quite fancys the idea of a little girl in a frilly dress haha. I just know she is going to be the carbon copy of him though, so she will need all the help in the Girly department that she can get!

Philosophy of the Department
- Emphasize the pathophysiology of disease and trauma to provide the orthopaedic student with an understanding of the current and future diagnostic and therapeutic measures;
- Teach a method of treatment the faculty has found to be most effective and yet make the student aware of other approaches;
- Provide maximum supervision and contact with students;
- Teach ambulatory and outpatient care as well as inpatient care;
- Promote clinical and basic research; and
- Teach the art as well as the science of medicine since medicine is the art of applying a science.
The objectives of the department are essentially to fulfill the stated purpose and philosophy of the department but can be stated further as:
- Providing the medical student with a core of information concerning the musculoskeletal system that all physicians should have and making the student aware of orthopaedics as a possible career choice;
- Providing the educational experiences necessary for an orthopaedic resident to become a confident orthopaedic surgeon; and,
- Providing continued education for the staff and practitioners of orthopaedic surgery locally and at the national level.
The diligent efforts and outstanding contributions of all personnel in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery are most appreciated. This subsequent report contains the specifics of the department's progress, growth, achievements and contributions.

The paper presents research results related to the impact of high-pressure hydrogen (80 MPa) and radiogenic 3He and their synergetic effect on mechanical properties and structure of CrNi40MoCuTiAl alloy within the temperature range from room temperature to 873K.The samples of three different 3He concentrations have been prepared for research: [approximately equal] 30, [approximately equal] 80 and [approximately equal] 190 appm. The buildup of 3He has been fulfilled using "tritium trick" technique.The tests at room temperature have shown the increasing conventional yield strength (0.2) and decreasing plasticity characteristics (total elongation 5 and reduction of area ) depend on 3He concentration increasing. However at 873 K test temperature the alloy with the maximum 3He ([approximately equal] 190 appm) concentration turned out to be more plastic than the alloy with 3He [approximately equal] 30 and 80 appm concentration.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Grit Index: D-backs' bullpen blows late leads, Mets win in 13
The second half of the 2013 season began Monday night much the same way most of the first half played out for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Well, almost.
There was an early lead, a blown save, a starter failing to get a win and a walk-off. Only on this night at Citi Field, the D-backs were on the wrong end of the dramatic finish.
Left-hander Wade Miley was fantastic in 5 2/3 innings of work against the New York Mets, striking out seven while allowing zero runs. But Miley, like the previous 22 D-backs pitchers to start a game, didn't factor into the left side of the win-loss column, as the bullpen eventually let him down.
Brad Ziegler gave up a run in the seventh. David Hernandez surrendered one in the eighth. And, J.J. Putz -- pitching in a save situation for the first time since May 7 -- couldn't make the most of a blown home run call and allowed a game-tying single in the ninth to Josh Satin.
After Cody Ross put Arizona ahead with a solo shot in the top of the 13th, reliever Josh Collmenter tried to finish off the bottom half for his fifth extra-inning win of the season.
In the end, though, it didn't play out like the first 81 games.
Collmenter gave up a double to Satin, intentionally walked John Buck and Omar Quintanilla, and with two outs left an 0-2 pitch up over the heart of the plate that Andrew Brown sent into the left centerfield gap for a walk-off, two-run single, as the Mets downed the D-backs 5-4.
The Good:
In addition to Miley's strong start, Paul Goldschmidt hit his 20th home run on the season. The D-backs first baseman had exactly 20 dingers in 2012.
The Bad
Arizona has now blown 16 games in 2013, tied for the most in all of baseball with the Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs.
In 2 1/3 innings during the D-backs' current 10-game road trip, David Hernandez has given up five runs.
The D-backs have lost four straight and are 1-6 on their current NL East road swing.
He Said It:
"I had him where I wanted him at 0-2, who knows with a better pitch we probably win the game." -- D-backs reliever Josh Collmenter on his final pitch of the night to Andrew Brown
• Arizona's last extra-inning loss came on May 21 against the Colorado Rockies.
• According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Mets' walk-off win was their first in a game that they were trailing in during the 13th inning or later since 1963.
• Gerardo Parra left the game in the eighth inning when he face planted on the warning track after attempting to catch a ball off the bat of Omar Quintanilla. He later tweeted that he was fine.
• The D-backs moved to 9-3 this season in extra-inning games.
• Both teams honored the 19 firefighters who lost their lives in the Yarnell wildfire Sunday night, by hanging a No. 19 jersey in their dugout with the name Yarnell on the back. The D-backs also wore black arm bands on the right sleeve of their jerseys.
What's Next:
The D-backs and Mets will continue their four-game series on Tuesday. Arizona left-hander Patrick Corbin (9-0, 2.22 ERA) will again go for his 10th win. He will be opposed by New York right-hander Jeremy Hefner (2-6, 3.72 ERA). First pitch is at 4:10 p.m. MST and can be heard on Arizona Sports 620.

Bearcats Roll Past George Fox, 9-0
SALEM, ORE. -- The Willamette University men's tennis team swept past George Fox University, 9-0, at the WU Tennis Courts on Friday, April 13. The Northwest Conference victory improved the Bearcats to 9-8 on the season, including 8-6 against conference opponents. Willamette has won six of its last seven matches. GFU fell to 4-11 overall, with every match in the NWC.
WU opened the afternoon by sweeping the doubles matches, as the Bearcats lost just seven games in doubles play. Eric MacMillan (Jr., Twin Falls, ID/Twin Falls HS) and Shaun Mihalick (Mukilteo, WA/Eastlake HS) led the way by winning #1 doubles, 8-1, over Kyle Pearson and Nick Jenness.
In singles, Willamette's #1 player, Donovan LeDoux (Fr., Keizer, OR/McNary HS), rallied from a 5-2 deficit in the first set to defeat Pearson, 7-5. 6-3. MacMillan downed Mac Ovenell, 6-0, 6-1, at #2 singles. WU won five of the singles matches in straight sets, while Mihalick needed a super tie-breaker (instead of a third set) to defeat Jordon Vargas at #4 singles, 6-1, 2-6, (10-2).
Willamette holds a one-game lead over the University of Puget Sound for fourth place in the NWC, pending Friday's result between UPS and Lewis & Clark College. UPS was 7-7 in the NWC prior to Friday's contest against the Pioneers.
The Bearcats and Puget Sound will play each other at the WU Tennis Courts on Saturday (April 14), starting at 12 p.m. (PDT). The match will be moved indoors to the Courthouse Tennis Club in Salem, Ore., starting at 4 p.m. (PDT), if weather prevents the teams from playing outside.
Willamette, which has clinched one of six berths into the NWC Tournament, will conclude the regular season at Linfield College on Sunday, April 15. Match time in McMinnville, Ore., is set for 5 p.m. (PDT). The NWC Tournament will be played in Yakima, Wash., April 20-21.

Tell us a little about yourself. I am the author of 37 books, most of them novels dealing with British Christian history. My husband and I have 4 adult children and our 11th grandchild is on the way. I'm also an avid gardener. My love of growing roses is reflected in this book.
What was your motivation behind this project? The idea of the Victorious Heart series was to write serious women's fiction in the guise of romance. My editor and I believe that often when one is dealing with a truly traumatic situation in their life they may not be able to cope with a heavy self-help book, but a novel which presents much-needed truths in story form can be a great help.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Faith, hope and courage to try again when a marriage needs rebuilding.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Background is always of great importance to me in my novels. I often feel the setting is a character in my stories, and I like to give my readers a "you are there" experience. In this case the beauty and charm of one of my favorite places Victoria, B.C. is part of the healing for Laura and Tom.

FAB FIVE: For the weekend
By asoglin
Thursday, September 6th, 2007 at 8:15 am in Fab Five, Family Outings.
Here's the great thing about short weeks – the weekend gets here that much faster. So what to do, what to do? Ah, we know…
1. Livermore's Children's Fair is this weekend and today's Taking the Kids column takes 'em there, with all the details.
2. The world yo-yo championships are at San Francisco's Exploratorium this Saturday – who knew? Swing by and check out the pros doing the Atom Smasher, the Boingy Boingy and, of course, Walk the Dog.
3. Oakley's First Friday Concert features all kinds of kids' activities, plus the Freedom High choir and other entertainment tomorrow night.
4. A pinball museum exhibit? Acrobats? Check out Family Day at Walnut Creek's Bedford Gallery on Sunday.
5. And finally, has anyone checked out the Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39? We haven't visited this underwater tunnel exhibit, but now they're also offering behind-the-scenes visits and a "Sleep with the Sharks" deal. No, no, not in the Tony Soprano "sleep with the fishes" way. This one involves sleeping bags. Pricey, but it sounds memorable. (P.S. If you go, let us know how it is.)

Longtime wrestling fans rejoice. I am here to bring you my latest review in the form of the wrestling title with an Attitude. WWE 13.
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC
Reviewed by: Jonathan Bester
From THQ comes the latest instalment in the franchise of games covering the wrestling soap opera; WWE. It promises to bring the wrestling revolution to the platform of your choice; however can it deliver on its promise, or will it be power bombed through a table? WWE 13 has been a love/hate experience for me, especially whereas its gameplay is concerned. It borrows a lot from not only the previous title in the franchise, but it would appear that THQ has gone even further back in the franchise and grabbed some of the more memorable features. The reason for this is quite apparent from the get-go. The reintroduction of one of the most iconic eras in wrestling. The Attitude Era. But more on that later.
Some of the overhauled systems in WWE 13 was long overdue. Take the reversal system for example. It has proven to be tedious over and over again and never quite responded the way you needed it to when trying to reverse your opponent's moves against him. In WWE 13, THQ has completely polished this system to flash the button that needs to be pressed right above your head at the exact moment when you are about to be struck/grabbed. If you manage to hit the button in time, you reverse the opponent's move. Hit it too soon, and you are penalised and the move proceeds, the same can be said for too late. So it's really a matter of timing.
Another new system introduced is the Limb Targeting system which I feel is a very welcome addition. If your opponent is grabbed/groggy/lying on the ground you can hold in the RB button, then press either A, X, Y or B to initiate either a legs, body, head or arms attack. You will notice that if you keep targeting certain limbs, they will become redder and redder, indicating that these limbs are now weaker which makes the opponent slower to respond to your other attacks. As you may notice if you are a seasoned player of this franchise, this isn't an entirely new concept, but it has been completely overhauled and is in fact quite a bit better from previous titles.
Individual characters handle and perform pretty much the same way they did in the previous year's installment and as can be expected, every Superstar has their move set from the television program as you have seen them in action.
Which brings us to the Attitude Era mode. Old hands at the WWE franchise may be used to the story-based modes prominent in each game. The usual mode is known as the Road to Wrestlemania mode, which has this year been replaced by the Attitude Era mode. A nostalgic look back at some of the greatest matches from the mid-to-late nineties. Showcasing quite a few of the actual video footage from the era, as well as dubbed voice over the in-game moments, this is truly a step up for a WWE game. THQ has never before done anything like this before and this becomes abundantly clear when you play through this mode. There are numerous bugs prominent throughout the matches, some of them even game breaking. The commentary (which I will go into further detail later) is quite lively and topic-relevant at times, whereas other times it can become quite repetitive and bland; something THQ has never really even tried to improve on during their history with the WWE video games.
Aside from the Attitude Era mode, WWE Universe mode makes a return from the previous titles. There is literally no change from the previous games' Universe modes except for a few minor things. Firstly, you will notice that as opposed to how the previous Universe mode worked, the shows now flow seamlessly from one match to the next without booting you back to the menu. This leads us to a new way of character selection. Instead of picking which Superstar/Diva you want to play as before the match, you are given the option to choose in the opening moments of the match.
Editing Universe mode is easier than last year. You are able to edit Superstar attributes, moves, abilities, hit point rates, titles and even the story options. Don't like the changes you made? Just reset everything back to default. It's that easy. You can fiddle around with brand rosters and teams, even allowing you to create your own brand with its own logo. Not enough for you? Create your own Pay-Per View. The possibilities have really been amped up. Keep track of the statistics of the different brands, including who has the title and for how long.
Glitches are not just restricted to Attitude Mode as I did find quite a few even in Tables matches. It doesn't matter how hard you try you are almost never able to put an opponent through a table in any traditional way of the phrase. Only after several tries are you able to do this and this is a severe problem that THQ needs to fix. Perform a move in the corner while an object/opponent is obscuring your path and the character becomes stretched and warped.
WWE 13's character roster consists of a whopping 83 Superstars, more than any other title in the franchise's history, and this is before DLC characters, of which there are 20 confirmed. Add to this the custom character creation mode, and you have an endless supply of playable characters. Each and every character has been accurately recreated based on the persona's themselves and as mentioned before their move-sets are impeccable.
Speaking of Custom Creation, the Custom Creation system in WWE 13 is jam-packed full of features, including a diverse Character Creation System, an Entrance Creation System, a Move-Set Creation system and plenty of other modes to help you customise your game to your own liking. The only thing I didn't like about this system was the limited amount of items/options available during the creation process and I feel that THQ could have branched out significantly more from the previous title.
WWE 13 literally borrows exactly the same graphics engine from its predecessor. The animations are still about the same, and save for the collision-system which seems to only work when it wants to I have very little gripes with it. As mentioned in the gameplay section, there were quite a few graphical glitches prominent in the Attitude Era mode and Tables matches which was a serious problem for me.
On a good note however, you could see that the audience rendering and animation is quite a step up from the previous game and wholly impressive in its own right. Additionally, the camera angles tend to jump around to such bad effect that it impacts your gameplay experience, but fortunately THQ has included a feature on the pause menu to switch this off.
One of the strong points in almost all WWE games is the soundtrack. Taken straight out of the show, each and every Superstar's intro music is lovingly brought into the game to good effect. I have always been a huge fan of the choice of music employed by the company and THQ certainly knows how to implement it.
As mentioned earlier in the review, the commentating, except for the pre-recorded sessions in the Attitude Era mode, is still the same bland, overly repetitive drivel we have come to expect from this series and it disappoints me to no end how THQ has never gotten around to improving this.
The online portion of WWE 13, as with previous titles allows you to play both Ranked and the standard Player Matches using all the modes available in game. As with the previous titles, playing this game online proves problematic with our local connections. The previous titles I played on a 512k ADSL line and a 1 MB ADSL line respectively, and even though I am on a 2 MB line now, the same problems persist. There is a lag that just simply doesn't allow you to fully experience the game as it is meant to be played online. The reversal system especially suffers as a result of this.
Matchmaking seems fast enough, so there was no problem there. I suppose with the right line speed, the online portion can be truly enjoyable as I noted other players going at it with apparent ease.
The Conclusion:
WWE 13 suffers from quite a number of severe problems. Be it graphical/gameplay glitches or poor commentary. These are just some of the problems THQ will need to sort out if this game wants to be better received. These problems can however be put aside if you consider the excellently put together Attitude Era mode, which very accurately lets you relive some of the best matches in the company's history. The soundtrack as ever is excellent and it complements the game beautifully. If you're a WWE fan, especially one who grew up with the franchise in its hey-day, I highly recommend this title, despite its pitfalls. Otherwise, just wait for it to hit the bargain bin.
The Verdict:
Gameplay: 8/10
Graphics: 8/10
Sound: 7/10
Online: 6/10
Value for Money: 7/10
Replay Value: 6/10
Official ITF Rating: 7/10

If Mindspeak (and I will tell you a little about it momentarily) was an ice-cream Sundae, then Christine Lagarde's appearance today is like the Maraschino cherry that you find on top of the Sundae. It is an absolute pleasure to be hosting the first female managing director of the IMF with KEPSA's Vimal Shah.
It was Muhammed Suleiman, who more than five years ago, persuaded me to start up Mindspeak. I think our first audience was about 40 people and we started in the cinema at the Junction Mall.
The philosophy behind Mindspeak was in part derived from Rumi. I had visited Konya and as I entered the Mevlana's tomb, the following was inscribed at the entrance;
Come, come, whoever you are wonderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come.
That timeless message of inclusion intoxicated me that evening in Konya and I like to think that Rumi has proven a magic ingredient. In the late 1990s just before the turn of the century, when the internet bloomed for the first time and the Nasdaq boomed, I had visited San Francisco and been to a Guy Kawasaki Garage.com function.
That day I learnt from Mr. Kawasaki and his rules for revolutionaries that a singular rule is "Eat like a hummingbird and poop like an Elephant" I will leave you to consider what Guy Kawasaki means as I had to consider it.
The mood in San Francisco was practically evangelical, a CAN-DO spirit and I wanted to replicate that. So I wish to thank Muhammed, the Mevlana and Guy Kawasaki esquire for this Maraschino cherry Christine Lagarde moment. The 3rd strand is serendipity.
Mindspeak tipped big in 2011 when President Museveni graciously agreed to be our guest and happenstance put Dr. Besigye in a hospital in Nairobi that same week-end. That combination created a viral tsunami and Mindspeak trended world-wide that day.
Interestingly, it was marshall of President Museveni's security detail who removed Mindspeak from Westgate. He took one look at the place and "canned" the venue.
That was in 2011 and since then we have been at the InterContinental where you will find us today between the hours of 1500-1700. Now let me return to the managing director of the IMF madame Christine Lagarde.
In July 2011, Christine Lagarde became the eleventh managing director of the IMF, and the first woman to hold that position. She is a seriously accomplished lady and interestingly a former member of the French national team for synchronized swimming.
The managing director's office said the following in a press release no. 14/01 January 2, 2014 "I am very much looking forward to my visit to underline the fund's strong partnership with Kenya, one of the most dynamic economies in a region that has been a bright spot in the global economy," Lagarde said ahead of her trip. "Kenya has emerged as one of Africa's 'frontier economies'
Over the top broadcasting is now the latest in-thing. The cool thing is that Bob Collymore's Safaricom has been very kindly providing us with a live feed for quite a while and long before we learnt it was called over the top broadcasting.
So if you cannot make it person to the InterContinental in person, please note we will be beaming this Mindspeak to the world from the @InterConNairobi in a joint c21st Safaricom RICH TV Production. You can tune in at 1200 GMT/ 1500 Kenya time via this link
The hashtags for today's Mindspeak are #Mindspeak #IMFAfrica #Africarising. Do tune in, send us a Tweet, watch the stream because I do want to prove my theory that Kenya is a media and social media laboratory.

- Choshen Jewelry
Choshen Jewelry Guide
Jewelry is a common gift to give for a multitude of Jewish occasions. Jewelry can be given for non-religious occasions such as anniversaries or birthdays to relatives and spouses. That being said, there is a wide variety of Jewish jewelry out there to give for Jewish occasions. For example, jewelry serves as a thoughtful gift for a girl on her Bat Mitzvah in order to welcome her into adulthood. Jewelry is also commonly given to a bride before her wedding.
Jewish jewelry can be defined by the artist it is made by or the style of the work itself. Jewelry can come in an Israeli style or feature Jewish symbols. These include a Magen David symbol, Hebrew text, Kabbalah style, and Choshen style.
What is Choshen Jewelry?
Choshen jewelry is defined as Jewish jewelry that is designed in a particular Choshen style. Choshen, sometimes spelled Hoshen, refers to the breastplate originally worn by Aaron the High Priest and later by all High Priests during the Temple era. The breastplate was placed over the heart to remind the Priest of the sons of Israel and the community he represents during his duties. The breastplate was worn while performing holy tasks in the Temple and had certain specifications. One specification was that the breastplate be adorned with twelve precious stones mentioned in the book of Exodus representing the twelve Jewish tribes. The stones are ruby, garnet, citrine, blue topaz, topaz, peridot, sapphire, emerald, onyx, amethyst, diamond, and aquamarine.
Choshen style jewelry is designed with the same stone pattern that is found on the breastplates worn by High Priests. While not all Choshen jewelry will be created with precious stones, the jewelry will be adorned by a similar pattern with two columns of six.
Choshen jewelry can come in many materials, as the jewelry can come in the form of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and amulets alike. The chosen breastplate pattern may be featured on a metal cuff bracelet or on a rectangular shaped pendant on a silver chain. This type of jewelry can come in pewter and metal materials, or more sophisticated materials such as 925 Sterling Silver and gold. The most expensive type of Choshen jewelry will have all twelve precious stones on its surface. Other pieces have stones created in the form of rhinestones or studs. While the original breastplates had engravings of the names of the twelve tribes, modern Jewish jewelry do not.
The Chosen stone pattern may be placed on symbols such as a Hamsa, Magen David, or Menorah. The Hamsa symbol is a five finger open hand symbol with Arabic origins. Popular in Middle Eastern cultures, the Hamsa has come to represent protection from evil. The Choshen design is often featured in the center of the open palm Hamsa. The Magen David symbol is the Jewish star that has come to represent the Jewish community. The Magen David is currently displayed in the center of the Israeli flag. The Menorah is a nine branched candelabra with one taller branch for lighting candles during the holiday of Hanukkah. Menorahs are commonly features as pendants on necklaces with the Choshen design in its center.

WATCH: Howard Dean on the State of the Public Option on Rachel Maddow
Posted By dpacheco On October 24, 2009 @ 12:38 am In Politics & Public Policy | No Comments
If you're following the health care debate closely—that is, if you haven't overdosed on health care reform coverage and resolved to ignore it until it's all over—then you know we're getting into some pretty wonkish territory. Public option triggers, state-run exchanges, opt-ins, opt-outs, negotiated rates, medicare + 5—it's enough to make you ask, is health care reform fatigue a pre-existing condition? Can I rescind my conservative congressman?
Leading the charge for the public option is former Vermont governor, former chair of the DNC, and medical doctor Howard Dean [1]. What's his take on the public option shenanigans taking place on the Hill? Dean plunked down his two cents on last night's Rachel Maddow Show.
