In addition to the academic centers abroad, NYU students have the opportunity to be considered to study away from New York at one of the University's partner institutions by participating in a student exchange. The International Exchange Program enables select NYU students to study at a variety of institutions – all distinguished research universities – while earning NYU credit and being immersed in the culture of some of the world's most exciting cities.
Many universities offer course work in English and others require advanced knowledge of a foreign language.
Students who are approved to enroll in the NYU exchange pay NYU tuition which allows you to maintain your financial aid package, including grants and scholarships (unique partner fees may be required). You may also apply for additional financial aid (in the form of loans) for study abroad through the NYU Office of Financial Aid.
Follow the links above to review the list of Partner Universities and to learn about the highly selective Application Process. For additional information regarding the University-wide International Exchange Program, please contact us at:
New York University
Global Programs Office
25 West 4th Street, 1st Floor
New York, NY 10012
phone: (212)998-4433
fax: (212)995-4103
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
You must contact the office at your university that manages the nomination process for the program to learn how your school selects nominees. Typically it is the International Office, Office of International Affairs, or International Exchange Office who can assist you.
Read more about the exchange program at NYU in the information flyer.
If you have additional questions, email: email@example.com
If you are enrolled at a University that is not a partner with NYU you cannot participate in the exchange program. There are opportunities for you to enroll at NYU for courses through the University's Special Sessions programs. These programs allow you to enroll as a visiting student, take courses with NYU students, and receive an official NYU transcript for the transfer of credit back to your university.
If you have questions about these options please direct your inquiry to the contact information provided on each web site.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by GSymonds Excellent Cow Milk Bottle! To be honest, I haven't tried filling it with milk. There's a cow on the bottle, which can be misleading, cause I imagine any type of milk can be kept fresh. Now, my use for it is downright devious! [Coffee snobs, avert your eyes immediately.] I actually use it to chill coffee. I brew a big pot in the morning, pour myself a cup, pour the rest in the bottle, and stash it in the fridge to chill. Then I enjoy an iced treat after work! I pour the coffee into the bottle while it's still hot—fresh out of the coffee pot. The seal on the bottle is nice and tight, which keeps the coffee tasting fresh. The bottle is made of thick and sturdy glass. And I haven't had an issue with extreme temperature changes. May 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mindnumbdumplin I own this bottle I bought it from another store but am so glad I found it again here. I use this for water kefir. It's thick and the mouth is wide enough to be able to flavr the water with fresh or dehydrated fruits. So far it's better than the the other flip top bottles I've used and is air tight. Very sturdy bottle. I highly recommend especially for fermenting or carbonated drinks. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rana11 very cute I love it. Not sure what I'm gonna use it for yet--maybe olive oil, near stove; maybe for drinking water on the dining table or bedside table? May 5, 2013

I saw the film Lady Sings the Blues, starring Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Diana Ross, when I was about 11 years old. One of the images in the movie that still resonates with me is one in which the around 11-year-old Billie Holiday, circa 1926, is working as a cleaning and errand girl for a Baltimore "house of ill-repute." When she is supposed to be scrubbing the front stoop, she sneaks away and spends most of her time leaning over the Victrola in the brothel parlor, cranking up Bessie Smith's latest hit, "'Taint Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do." She plays the record over and over, singing along, studying every note and syllable. So, that film was not only my introduction to Billie Holiday, it was also my introduction to Bessie Smith, and an important lesson in how artists pass the cultural torch. Watching Diana Ross' portrayal of Billie Holiday learning from Bessie Smith, I recognized the same way that I studied every Supremes' 45 on my old Sears Silvertone. I can imagine Lady GaGa at 11 years old, listening to Madonna's "Express Yourself" on her Walkman in exactly the same way. Seeing Lady Sings the Blues may well have been my introduction to being a music curator! Anyway, that's probably the reason my favorite pieces in the Women Who Rock exhibit are the Billie Holiday fox fur stole and the photo of her wearing it, and the trombone part of the arrangement for her own recording of "'Taint Nobody's Biz-ness." To see that fur stole, a tangible example of how far Billie had traveled from scrubbing those white steps in Baltimore, and that beautiful photograph of her proudly modeling her prize, looking gorgeous and vibrant on a New York City corner, right next to the trombone arrangement of the song she learned from Bessie – that, to me, is the essence of the story we're telling with Women Who Rock.
Meet the Curator: From 11 a.m. to Noon on Friday, July 8 and 1 – 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 9, hear more behind-the-scenes story of the Women Who Rock exhibit with Meredith Rutledge during our Women Who Rock Celebration Weekend. Click here for details.

Ok stay
avril 18, 2016
Affordable but common areas smelt like people had been staying there too long.
Truly a home away from home
avril 13, 2016
This property is well worth the stay. The room is so homey, the beds are extremely comfortable and the staff is very attentive and professional. There is a feel of staying at a high end resort. Kudos to the staff and management! The property is located very conveniently to many "things to do" in the Minneapolis area. Would definitely stay here again.
nice clean hotel
avril 13, 2016
the room and the entire hotel were very clean. The bed wasn't the most comfortable but it wasn't horrible. The kitchenette was nice. We were able to eat a couple of meals in the hotel instead of going out. Nice to be able to keep snacks for the kids in the fridge instead of a cooler! Staff were kind and helpful too.
Excellent Would Recommend Staybridge
avril 11, 2016
I have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Minneapolis area. I'm sure I'll be returning and making sure I stay at the same hotel.

The Gospel Messenger-February 1894
O Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest the them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings and ye would not! Behold your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.--Matt. xxiii.
Christ's two-fold nature is a great mystery. The Scriptures declare it a great mystery (1 Tim. iii. 16). Reason and science cannot solve it; it is hid from the very princes of worldly wisdom (1 Cor. ii. 8). Christ was man and he was God---ONE PERSON with two natures---the nature of God and the nature of man. It is a mystery so profound that science and human reason fall down before it as the band of men and officers fell backward to the ground before Christ (John xviii.)
But mystery as it is, it is an essential truth--one so much so that our hope of eternal salvation, nay that very salvation itself, would forever perish without it. He was a man, but his humanity was sacred; he was not defiled and depraved by sin as we are; but nevertheless he was a man, and not an angel, "but was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death."
As a man, he was born as other men; he was born a helpless little babe, and was swaddled as other children; hungered and was nursed at his mother's breast, and slept, and was carried in his mother's arms, as other helpless children are he learned to walk and talk as others, and grew "and increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man."---Luke ii. And it is certain, therefore, that as a man he knew more when he grew to manhood than he did as a babe, or as a little boy at his mother's knee. It is written that he even learned obedience by the things he suffered; not that he was ever disobedient, but that he had a human soul, and therefore a human will, but not a sinful will, but still a human one. So that he cried out in great agony to the Father that if possible the cup might pass from him, nevertheless not MY will but thine (thy will) be done, he submissively prayed. There was nothing in his mere human appearance indicating that he was more than other men. Men who were in daily contact with him saw him only as a man; and only those whose eyes God had opened, saw him as the Christ, the Son of the living God. In this way the apostles saw him, while others saw in him, only and no more, than Jeremias or Elias, or one of the prophets. And Jesus told his disciples that they were blessed, for that flesh and blood had not revealed it unto them, but the Father in heaven. In the same wonderful way he was revealed to Simeon and Anna, in the temple, as the "Lord's Christ." But to the unregenerate he was without form or comeliness, with no beauty in him that they desired him. Only those who had been humbled by grace could receive him then, and the same is true to this day, and will always be true.
He was born in a manger--nothing in that to build up the pride and vanity of the human heart--in Bethlehem, but was brought up to thirty years of age in Nazareth, a village in the hills of lower Galilee. He had no schooling that we know of, save what he got in the family circle, and maybe in hearing the Scriptures read on the Sabbath day in the Synagogue. But he grew in wisdom as well as in stature; and at twelve years of age his answers and questions in the temple at Jerusalem astonished the doctors. His parents went yearly to Jerusalem to the Passover, and carried the lad Jesus with them that time at least; and it seems that at that time Jesus felt a call, at least to some degree, to the work that he came to do, for he said to his mother, who had returned to Jerusalem for him, "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" But he went down with them to Nazareth, "and was subject to them."---Luke ii.
There is nothing else recorded of him until he was thirty years old, and was baptized and entered upon the work of his ministry. But though it is not written, we know that lie was in daily communion with his Father; that he probably spent many nights in the hills of Galilee in prayer. We know this from his practice and from his teaching; for he did not come forth as a Teacher sent from God without having received the words that the Father gave him to give to his people. He came as a teacher not from the feet of Gamaliel, or the schools of men, but from the school of the Father, so that he entered upon his work fully equipped of God.As a man, he was a Jew, and in the flesh was related to the Jews as a kinsman, and had, as is natural, that peculiar attachment for them that all men have for their kinfolks, The Jews were a nation of kinfolks; a people that had from the beginning kept themselves pure in blood from all other people. Abraham was particular that Isaac should not intermarry with other people, and so was Isaac and Jacob, and in fact it was a law among them from the beginning of their history, and has been for thousands of years, and it is true to this day, that the Jews are and have been a people that have literally "dwelt alone and not been reckoned among the nations." ---Gen, xxiv., xxvii, and xxviii.
Their natural ties, therefore, as a people, were very strong, fostered as they had been for ages by unity of blood, of government and worship, and it is no wonder that these ties became intensified to a degree unknown to any other people on earth. Christ was born of this people probably a score of centuries after Abraham, and spent his life among them, thirty years of it in serving his parents as an obedient son. And his parents being pious Jews, he no doubt heard from infancy more or less of Jewish history; for living the retired life they did, it was no doubt their chief delight to talk of the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob; of the hard bondage of Egypt, the exodus, the Red Sea, the wilderness, the manna, the law written on tables of stone, the pillars of cloud and of fire, and in short, of the whole history of this peculiar people, so that it may be said that Jesus, like Timothy, knew Jewish history from a child.
Jesus loved the Jews as his family, and especially did he sympathize with them in their poverty, for his parents were poor and he knew by experience the privations and hardships of the poor; and they were especially severe in his day, for the Romans had subjugated them, and they were plundered by merciless foreign tax-gatherers, and foreign soldiers were quartered upon them; and worse than all their own rulers and priests, who should have sympathized with and relieved them all they could, added to their burdens, corrupting more and more their already decaying religion. The outlook was gloomy, but bad as it was then, it would be worse, and Jesus knew it, and it grieved his pure and tender heart. For Jerusalem was to him the city of God, and its temple the Father's house, so that it roused his holy indignation to see it desecrated by greedy and hypocritical priests, and at one time he drove the greedy hucksters out of the temple with a whip. He knew how his poor, misguided kinsmen were led and had been led by them for ages, and how at last it would end in the destruction of the city and temple, and of their own lives. And it grieved him—grieved him so much that. he wept; and only one other time is it recorded of him that he ever became so moved as to weep. Weeping, he cried out: "If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy people but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave within thee one stone upon another; because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation."--Luke xix. In the same spirit he cried out, "0 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them sent unto thee, how often would l have gathered thy children together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!" So great had been and was their infatuation under false teachers, that their danger was hid from their eyes; they could not see it, but still in the face of all the afflictions brought upon them by departures from God, they would not hear the warning of Jesus, and be saved from the danger impending over them.
I do not say anything of what had to be, for that does not concern our subject, but only that willingness in Jesus to save them from the fate awaiting the course they were pursuing, and had been pursuing for many years; that is the subject we are dealing with. It was the love that he had for them as his flesh and blood, like the love that Abraham had for his son Ishmael (Gen. xxi.), and David had for Absalom (2 Sam. xviii.), and Paul had for the Jews (Rom. ix.) But Abraham had another love for Isaac, but the same fleshly love for Ishmael that he had for Isaac, but a love for Isaac that he did not have for Ishmael. We have the same fleshly love for ail our children, but for those of them that are regenerate we have a spiritual love that we cannot have for the unregenerate of them---and we are therefore related to the regenerate of them in a sense in which we are not related to the unregenerate of them. So was Christ related to his true disciples in a way that he was not related to other Jews; but he loved them, and it grieved him as a Jew to see what was coming upon them. For God has a care for all his creatures, as creatures, and holds them responsible for their conduct.--Acts xiv. and xvii., 30-31.
I say nothing now of the last verse, which may be a prophesy of the return of the Jews, and would refer to Rom. xi. as perhaps having reference to the time when the elect Jews should say, "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." This article is written at the request of Bro. G. B. Bateman, of Nebraska, and I am sadly conscious of its great imperfection; and I may have a wrong view of it, but I am willing to exchange it for a better one. It will be seen that I have treated of Christ almost altogether as a man, as the subject seemed to me to relate to him mainly in that sense. Pray for me.—R

Park continues Lexington's revitalization of Erlanger area
Published: Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 4:50 p.m.
Parks play an important role in the quality of life for a community. Lexington is no different, and the dedication of a new park and walking trail at Erlanger Park Circle brings cause for celebration for several reasons. One, it offers a new recreational and leisure option for residents. Two, it continues the revitalization of the Erlanger area. And three, it replaces an apartment complex that was the site of several crimes, including drug activity.
Mayor Newell Clark often says that Lexington must build on its heritage even as it positions itself for the future. Erlanger certainly fulfills that vision. The area once held a thriving cotton mill and community that included a church and YMCA. Those days are long gone, but Lexington has focused on sprucing up the area in recent years. The process takes time — work actually began in 2007 on the effort that would eventually produce the park — and money, most of which came from state and federal grants. But the results are certainly positive, and those who don't live in Erlanger should visit the park and walking trail and see just how much the area has improved.
Preliminary work will commence on the site for a new high school in northern Davidson County after the board of commissioners approved an agreement with the county school system Tuesday. The system will contribute $4.5 million for design and rough grading work, and the county will put in $500,000. The school is estimated to cost $45 million, and commissioners must still determine how to pay for it. But when dirt begins being turned, that puts on some pressure to figure out the funding mechanism so the school will become a reality and relieve overcrowding at North Davidson and Ledford high schools.
An unfortunate aspect of both the economic downturn and mandated curriculum is the reduction in field trips for students. Welcome Elementary School deserves credit for finding a way to offer the excitement of a field trip at a reduced cost and time commitment. The school hosted Boone Gemstone Mining from Clemmons Wednesday, and fourth-graders searched for and learned about gemstone and fossil mining without leaving campus. Such innovative ways of thinking will continue to be necessary to provide stimulating learning opportunities that often capture students' attention more than information learned from a textbook.
The impact Gregg Stabler had on Davidson Water received a tangible expression when the board of directors decided to name its new water treatment plant in western Davidson County for him. Stabler recently retired after spending 42 years with the utility, the last 26 as general manager. Davidson Water serves 140,000 in three counties. While having a water treatment plant named after you might seem an odd honor, it's certainly appropriate in this case in recognition of Stabler's stewardship.

Our consultations with states, United Nations entities and civil society have reaffirmed our view that there is a need to give more prominence to population dynamics including migration. In this regard, IOM fully associates itself with the input to the Compilation document submitted by the ECESA Plus Cluster on Social Protection and that input addresses issues that below are expanded upon. There are 214 million international migrants in the world today, with a further 740 million people internally mobile. Accompanying this are US$ 445 billion in remittances that represent significant financial inflows for states, often eclipsing traditional development assistance and direct foreign investment. Countless more displaced add to the ranks of people who move: it is estimated that by 2050 there will be 250 million people displaced as a result of environmental degradation exacerbated by climate change. As migration is a reality for one in seven persons on the planet today, IOM believes that it will not be possible to avoid addressing the links between globalization, sustainable development and migration in the context of Rio+20. A growing body of evidence illustrates how widespread is the impact that migration has on social and economic development. Furthermore, recent studies now give us insights as to how migration will become a key environmental adaptation strategy, as recognized 20 years ago in Agenda 21. While migration consists of many types of movement ranging from regular voluntary migration to survival migration in the face of emergency or persecution, IOM is convinced that advancing sustainable development in a targeted manner will support the primacy of migration as a choice: ?migration for the benefit of all?. IOM believes these issues should now find their way into the focused political document envisaged in the UNGA resolution A/RES/64/236. Therefore, and in response to the letter dated 14 March 2011 from the Co-Chairs of the Rio+20 Bureau, IOM would like to transmit the following input: General comments IOM would welcome a concise outcome document and urges states and other stakeholders to build on the excellent headway made in the High-level dialogue on International Migration and Development in 2005, UNFCCC COP16 Decisions and the Istanbul Plan of Action. It is further suggested that the political document should foreshadow the need for an adequate institutional framework and delineate the proposed contribution of relevant multi-lateral organisations such as the IOM. With regard to existing proposals, IOM believes that Rio+20 could provide strong input to the post-2015 development framework by, inter alia, informing the articulation of potential sustainable development goals (SDGs). Further commitments to research activities on environmental change and migration, as already encouraged by the COP16 Decisions, will be vital for closing implementation gaps between policy and practice. This will be of vital importance. Here states can play an important role by increasing transparency in sharing migration-related statistics. In relation to specific cooperation mechanisms, IOM pledges its involvement in system-wide coherence initiatives such as ?Delivering as One? and the Inter Agency Standing Committee on Humanitarian Assistance and, more specifically, IOM supports strengthening collaboration with UN agency partners in the Global Migration Group, which has as one of its priorities this year the topic of climate change and migration. Key Substantive Issues IOM would like to highlight three sectorial priorities of particular relevance for Rio+20: (1) Rural Migration and Urban Settlements (2) Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction (3) Migration and Sustainable Development. - Rural Migration and Urban Settlements: Mindful of the fact that a high proportion of environmental migration is expected to be rural-urban flow, adequate preparation has to be elaborated. City and local governments need to proactively plan for environmentally sustainable settlements, including by creating specific responses to the needs of urban migrants for integration, with access to health care and education, as well as by strengthening commercial links with rural areas. Likewise, return and reintegration should be supported as an option for migrants who want to return to the rural areas. - Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction: Environmental degradation and other factors of vulnerability (including unmanaged urbanization, demographic trends and unsustainable forms of development) that can be exacerbated by climate change are likely to result in further migration, including instances of forced migration leading to displacement or to planned relocation. This needs global attention and targeted responses. While migration is likely to be internal and regional, countries with low response capacities will need support in order to protect livelihoods, to reduce risk and exposure to environmental hazards and increase resilience of communities through adaptive measures. In this context, managed migration, such as temporary or circular, can be an important adaptation strategy. - Migration and Development: There are very important and well-known positive links between migration and development, such as remittances, skills and knowledge transfer, and increased economic activity between countries that have migration links. Migration will play a role in finding solutions to certain demographic issues and can be important in addressing projected severe skills shortages. In order for migration to have a concerted impact on sustainable development, all migration issues need to be mainstreamed into general national development plans. Suggested Outcome Document Language Chapeau Text - The Conference acknowledges that migration and displacement are phenomena of global proportions which are forecasted to grow in importance due to persistent demographic and socio-economic disparities as well as political conflicts and increasing environmental degradation exacerbated by climate change. - The Conference therefore recognizes the importance of the issue of migration for sustainable social and economic development as well as its importance for the resilience of populations under environmental stress and political conflicts. - The Conference notes the up-coming United Nations High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development in 2013 and urges this dialogue to take into account the ?Rio+20? Outcome Document in order to garner political and operational support for responses to contemporary migration challenges. The deliberations of the independent, state-led Global Forum on Migration and Development will also be relevant in this regard. Migration and Sustainable Economic Development States, supported by key stakeholders, need to adopt policies that significantly increase the development impact of migration, especially by noting the following: - Vastly differing population growth rates, together with extended life expectancy in many countries, is resulting in significant demographic differences within and between regions and corresponding variations in labour supply. These trends will be a key determinant of global economic development and play an important role in shaping migration flows which - to the extent that they are linked to demographics - can be projected and planned for decades in advance. - Policy makers should consider projected demographic trends in their migration policies, as migration can be one component in dealing with low growth rates and ageing populations. As the trends in many countries with currently high growth rates will also eventually slow or even reverse, this should also be taken into account in long-term development planning. - In this regard, the on-going pilot projects that aim to mainstream migration into development policies could provide valuable lessons for broader replication. In order to encourage the use of remittances for sustainable development the following actions are required: i) Encourage the collection of further and better statistical Data on remittance transfers and their spill-over effects on sustainable development; ii) Commit to lowering the transfer costs of remittances both at the source and the destination country; iii) Establish incentives for using remittances for productive investments, including to support the resilience of populations whose environment is vulnerable. - Circular migration and trans-national migrants provide vital transfers of knowledge and skills in key labour market areas; policies that encourage and facilitate such movements should be promoted. - Removing undue barriers to migration and promotion of legal avenues of migration through, inter alia, bilateral and multilateral agreements should be supported. The need for states to find mutual solutions to severe skills shortages is mentioned in this regard. Migration and Sustainable Social Development States and other stakeholders need to take the following actions to maximize the positive social effects of migration. - Fully engage emigrants and the diaspora to maximize their contribution to sustainable social development in their home countries. Design and implement programmes that encourage temporary return or circular migration to this end. - Engage returning migrants to utilize their networks, knowledge and skills in their local communities by assisting with sustainable social development, in particular in critical sectors such as education, healthcare and rural development. - A twin track approach should be taken on the issue of rural urban migration. City governments need to proactively plan for environmentally sustainable settlements, including by creating specific responses to the needs of urban migrants for integration, health and education. In parallel, measures should be taken to ensure development opportunities that provide the option to remain in rural areas. Environmental Change and Migration as an Adaptation Strategy When displacement occurs because of the slow onset of environmental degradation, livelihoods are threatened and, in this regard, states should consider: - Addressing the challenges of livelihood, food security and health of the people affected by the adverse impact of climate change and responding to the needs of the people displaced at national, regional and international levels. - Exploring the role of migration as an adaptation strategy, whether such movements are seasonal, circular or permanent. In particular, any such measures must take into account the fact that many populations may be too impoverished or too vulnerable to move on their own initiative. Specific pilot programmes could explore the possible role of managed migration, such as temporary and circular migration, in lessening the impact on fragile eco-systems. Such programmes could also increase the long-term resilience of origin environments by channelling remittances into sustainable development activities. - Encouraging further research to explore the relationship between migration and environmental sustainability. This could include financial and operational support to national and international research bodies that further examine the migration and environmental degradation link. Migration in Disaster Risk Reduction Strategies Disaster Risk Reduction programmes must specifically address the potential migration and mobility issues involved and be based on the following actions: - Minimize forced displacement by consistently investing resources in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation to increase the resilience of affected communities. If displacement is unavoidable, responses can address assistance and protection needs while facilitating rapid recovery through livelihood protection and rehabilitation. - Integrate managed migration programmes as part of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation through, for instance, developing temporary and circular labour migration schemes for environmentally vulnerable communities. Wherever possible, these measures should be taken in a pre-emptive manner. Examine long-term strategies for planned relocation regarding exceptional or predictable high-risk areas - Raise policy and public awareness of the importance of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation to effectively address environmentally-induced migration. Interaction can be facilitated at the national and regional levels through state-appointed focal points for the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 and for climate change.

Will the multiracial administration mean a boost for less-visible black women? Includes an exclusive Web extra.
Watching the Democratic National Convention on my couch last year, I felt like such a geek, getting all choked up and teary as Michelle Obama spoke. As stereotype busting goes, this was a classic moment. It wasn't so much what she said —although her words were wonderful—as what she symbolized: black excellence, black female excellence. As I would later find out, I wasn't the only one crying. Michelle was representing all of us brown-skinned, dual-degreed, corporately employed integration babies. Watching Michelle, I felt that at last the world could see that we're not neck-rolling, finger-snapping sistas with an ax to grind. That she isn't—and we aren't—as one political pundit put it, "Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress."
But then it turned out that Michelle was just the beginning. The newly minted president proceeded to pick one African-American after another for high-power positions, from White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett to Susan Rice (United States ambassador to the United Nations) to FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg, MD, to surgeon general nominee Regina Benjamin, MD (whose appointment was, at press time, still awaiting Senate confirmation).
For many of us, this apparent tsunami of highly visible black women has been great news but no great surprise. Seeing these women—standing with the president, holding forth on the Sunday morning talk shows or looking glamorous at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner (the first at which a black woman, comic and former National Security Agency employee Wanda Sykes, emceed)—I thought, well, of course. After all, they look a lot like my friends and me.
Like me, the "Obama women," as insiders have named them, are part of a generation of accomplished black women. Living in my buppie bubble, I was surprised that so many non-black people were surprised that there was such a deep bench of talent for Obama to draw from. For although Jarrett, Rice and the others are exceptional people, among black women they are not the exception.
Let me be clear: Not many individuals, black, white, brown or other, achieve that level of power, whether at the White House or at Xerox. And yet there are hundreds of thousands of us, highly qualified and highly educated, available to be tapped. As the first lady told Time magazine, "My mother said this in an interview and I completely agree with her, and it's something that, you know, I want young people to remember. [She said] Michelle and Barack aren't new; there are thousands of [them] all over this nation. And that is true . . . I know them, I've gone to school with them, I live with them. So the truth is, there are thousands of role models like me. I just happen to be the first lady."
"We're not unicorns," concurs Tanya Chutkan, 47, an attorney who is a partner specializing in litigation and white collar criminal defense at the high-profile Washington, D.C.– based law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP. "We do exist. People always say, 'Oh, your mother must be so proud.' And I say, 'Actually, she's a lawyer too.' "
So we're here, and we're waiting—but will we now, finally, ascend? Will the Obama women have a trickle-down effect on how the rest of us are perceived and, ultimately, employed? Some say yes. Already we're seeing some zeitgeisty changes on the cultural landscape: More black women on the cover of Vogue (so far this year: Michelle Obama, Beyoncé and model Liya Kebede—a big contrast to 2008, when the only person of color who appeared on the cover was LeBron James). Then there's BET, long known for its booty-shaking music videos, which recently announced plans to launch CENTRIC, a new channel targeted to upscale midlife black Americans. It is, apparently, now hip to be middle-aged, gifted and black.

Last 20 Bible Comments
(Updated hourly)
20 Last Bible Discussion Entries:
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: We tend today to see the gospel as pertaining to individuals and salvation, which in part it is. Jesus is shown here as also seeing the gospel in terms of groups and cities and generations. Just as a man can be inhabited/possessed/re-inhabited so can collective movements and generations. Individuals think and act and behave within groups. Unclean spirits think and act and behave in similar conjunction. In Jesus' time He saw a perfect storm of the two mounting against Him. Though He could be convincing to some individuals one on one at this time, it would not be until His death and resurrection that the true forces driving individuals within masses could be dealt with.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: Makes one wonder what they wanted to talk to Him about.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: This understanding is not a matter left to human intelligence, it is plain and evident to persons of all IQ's/literacy/backgrounds. Satan is not omnipresent so he utilizes man's sheep like pack and conforming nature. He will twist and distort ones intentions and honest curiosity, even God's own words to produce doubt and apparent contradiction to foster rejection and rebellion. It is not understood because the heart has fattened and calloused against it. A mans own peers become the fowls of the air as much as any demon.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: From whom does the most pressure/persecution come from? Those just described as the wayside. Those here now without root expect peace and pleasantry. If the gospel is obvious to them it should be obvious to others they presume, and yet it is not obvious, ridiculed, divisive, persecuted against, even deadly. The young fledgling becomes disheartened, embarrassed, offended. A process - sunlight that is supposed to bring about growth instead kills off the plant. Though passive from ther out typically by number they are used by the wayside (therefore Satan) to increase the pressure on the remaining believers.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: A believer that overcomes the first two elements must also contend with the cares of this world. It may not matter what others believe or think or behave, the believer is settled and assured in this part of his faith. However, the real issues of life and family and citizen present a constant drain on his time and energies causing anxiety and fatigue and over extension. The productive fruit of his life gets chocked out without him barely realizing it. I speak from experience.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: For the few strong that remain all of this process works to produce fruit in them 30 60 100 fold; supernatural returns. Fruit like this would not be possible if it were not for the entire process the necessitated it and brought it about. We should not consider it odd that these many things go into producing spiritual fruit. It is producers like these that the Lord wants with Him in His Kingdom. These souls are basically the humble and meek He spoke of in the Beatitudes that His light and Spirit have shown through, His redemption has fashioned, branches abiding in His vine, created unto good works; they are the blessed.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: The Lord sows a very particular seed expecting later a very particular fruit, a fruit worthy of the kingdom from which it was born, worthy of acceptance into the kingdom to which it is harvested. It is a supernatural fruit that comes forth in supernatural numbers; the fruit itself that bares more of this particular seed. The process it takes to produce from seed to root to a plant to fruit is deliberate and unavoidable as sunshine. Understanding this parable is to understand such spiritual process. Is this the fruit that I am producing?
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: This parable is to be placed beside the parable of the sower for direct comparison, one extends the other. The first is a look at the process of the individual believer and what he must overcome. The second is a picture of the field (world) of all. The enemy has come in and planted a false believer with every appearance of the true believer except in final fruit. To remove the false believer at this time would also uproot the true believer, so the two are left to grow together. Both parables work together to draw a broader and deeper picture. The Disciples will shortly ask Jesus to explain this further.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: This is not to say that the Devil has created his own humans and planted them amongst God's. This is better explained by whom the God created human becomes moral agent of/to. The Kingdom of Heaven becomes firmly planted into one and the false kingdom of heaven becomes established in the other. The differences nearly indistinguishable until the fruit from each is bore out.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: f[NT-GOSPEL@Son of man] speaks largely of His betrayal cruxifiction and return.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: This passage almost reads backwards. At some point earlier the disciples of the Baptist told Jesus and His disciples the outcome of John's imprisonment - beheading. The crew is aware of the circumstances therein. What is happening now that Herod Antipas is associating Jesus with as a haunting of John. We do not know how this becomes known (perhaps one of Herod's servants) but, it does.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: Could this be referring to John and the visions of the Book of Revelations?
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: The comment about the leaven of the Pharisees is just as much a observation of what is currently transpiring against Him as it is a doctrinal fidelity teaching. Jesus sees what is developing and the rage mounting against Him so He checks to see how far along the Disciples hearts are in the revelation process. They are currently far enough to know that He is Christ but, not so far as to know what Christ must suffer for them in the very near future. Until they grasp this further more complete revelation they will not grasp their own future pathway - the baring of their own cross for Him in His absence up until His return.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: We see that the focus of Christ's work with the disciples has sharply turned towards His Cross and is being confirmed from above with the types of signs that the Pharisees had asked for earlier. The disciples believed but, had not asked. The Pharisees did not believe and yet had asked. Which do you think were allowed a sign? Now that they've seen it they are kept from telling anyone of it. Worse than a non-believer not believing and not receiving a demanded sign is a non-believer disbelieving all the more after seeing a believer that has seen the sign by invitation.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: The subject 'greatest' is often brought up and is often tied to child like qualities. Not child like as in play, but, child like as in service/respect to others. Perhaps one can be playful and imaginative in service, but, certainly not the other way around serving child play/imagination.
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: Recently, we have heard of the influences of a faithless wicked generation being at the root of a failed exorcism and now a world from which offenses/entrapments toward humble child like servants must/do come. The forces and momentums Jesus fights against are considerably larger than just you and I. We must also be aware of their effect and influence as well. They exist even amongst our own ranks!
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: What would Jesus know about marriage fidelity? Funny you should ask. Who is Jesus married to (future tense)? The Church Israel/Gentile. Has She been faithful? Is She unblemished? Has there not been cause for a writ of divorcement? Continuously. Why then has He not? What is it in Her that He sees in Her future and is willing to go to His grave for? What God has joined together... let no man put asunder. The principal is true as a church. It is true as a couple. Is Christ righteous in not serving us His papers? Is He merciful in this? Shouldn't we likewise be?
@ @ p[RandyP] comments: There is the physical temple and there is a temple of individual men's hearts. Where a man's heart is there will be his treasure. There are men who treasure making money from the religious needs of many. There are men who treasure peace that do not confront them. There are men who treasure their position in the church that allow for even profit from such allowance. There are men who treasure the way things just the way they are, the way things have long time been. There are those who treasure their own ideals of the temple and not the ill image it projects to those it mistreats. These are the types of men who would be displeased by Jesus' message carried out in the temple for they do not treasure Him. When we look as individuals upon a collective temple such as this we look upon men's collective hearts. The object is not to avoid coming to the collective temple, it is to call upon all men's hearts by a higher calling; to call upon all men to come observe the most holy heart of our Lord and Savior; to meet with Him by His grace then and there. And if need be, shake a few tables of our own.

OK, by now you know you're going to the ArtsFest, but unless you're volunteering there or get left there by your friends, chances are you're going to want to do something else this weekend as well - as summer has literally and figuratively arrived.
Down at the renovated Gallivan Center, Parachute plays a free show Thursday Night. The Virginia based pop-rockers will return to Utah on Aug. 18 to open for the Goo-Goo Dolls.
On Friday night - the best band you may never have heard of: Richmond Fontaine. These unassuming Portland guys, pictured above, write some of the best material around, play with chops, conviction and have a country-rock sound that's at once familiar and unique.
So why are they so damn obscure? I have no clue as to what they're doing wrong in the marketing realm, but musically, they are doing just fine.
Go check them out at The State Room. I dare you to hate it. Tickets are $14 and remain on sale at thestateroomslc.com.
Check out Fontaine playing one of their more accessible songs "Post to Wire."
For fans of aging pop-rock divas, Sheryl Crow entertains the masses at Red Butte Garden. This one sold out during its 'members-only' phase, so good luck seeing her if you don't have a ticket.
Tuneful indie-rocker Bill Callahan is down at The State Room on Saturday night. However, the real rocking action is at The Urban Lounge when still-going-strong punk icons The Meat Puppets led by the Brothers Kirkwood pay a visit. This will be a treat. Music starts at 10 p.m. They're out touring behind their solid latest release, "Lollipop."
Here are the Puppets back in '07 playing "Violet Eyes" from 1994's "Too High To Die."
And Sunday night, The Depot welcomes the right wing's best guitar player: Ted Nugent. Regardless of your political leanings, Uncle Ted will likely rock you into next week with nuggets like "Stranglehold" and "Free for All."

Façade is an artificial intelligence-based art/research experiment in electronic narrative—an attempt to move beyond traditional branching or hyper-linked narrative to create a fully-realized, one-act interactive drama. Integrating an interdisciplinary set of artistic practices and artificial intelligence technologies, the authors undertook a five year collaboration to engineer a novel architecture for supporting emotional, interactive character behavior and drama-managed plot. You, the player, using your own name and gender, play the character of a longtime friend of Grace and Trip, an attractive and materially successful couple in their early thirties. During an evening get-together at their apartment that quickly turns ugly, you become entangled in the high-conflict dissolution of Grace and Trip's marriage. No one is safe as the accusations fly, sides are taken and irreversible decisions are forced to be made. By the end of this intense one-act play you will have changed the course of Grace and Trip's lives – motivating you to re-play the drama to find out how your interaction could make things turn out differently the next time.
(Source: Authors' description from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume Two)
Façade must be downloaded and installed. There is a brief instructions screen in the title menu, explaining that players simply type at any time to speak dialog, use the arrow keys to navigate, and use the mouse to pick up and use objects.

Now that I got your attention with the name "Tube sock motor," a friend of mine said that the brass valve covers I machined ressembled a tube sock..ha The motor is 4.875 stroke , .4375 lift cams, releived cylinders and intake ports, panhead ss manifold cut and jigged up for for big flat cylinders with a super B carb and accelerator pump. The manifold is sleeved to 1.375 dia. I used j model decompression plates for my stroker plates, simply open stud size holes. Jigged heads on my rotary table to accomadate pop up, left .032 squish. Cylinders are 13 fin .04 over 80.
The frame is a 34 vl with a 4 speed and later big twin rear drum brake.
rear wheel is a triumph 18 rim laced to star hub. Tanks are late model 45
This bike was built from parts and run great... faster than most late model off the floor bikes... she still needs finishing touches like money but I am haveing a blast as I go. let me know what ya guys think so far.....later bone

It seems like the first few chapters are named after the people who wrote them, but I was wondering how the other titles were decided upon.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
First, let's fix up some of your terminology. The thing you are calling "chapters" are generally referred to as "books". The Bible is composed of many different books written at different times at the hands of several human authors (although all inspired). Each book is then divided up into chapters and verses for easy reference. Secondly the "first few" books you refer to must be the ones of the New Testament (Mathew, Mark, etc). Those are called the "gospel" books and are those people's accounts of Jesus life and ministry. However those are not actually the first books in the bible, the entire Old Testament comes before that.
The OT starts out with Genesis (or Beginnings or Creation depending on language and translation) but is pretty obviously named after the theme: how the world got started and early stories of God's dealings with men. Likewise there are a number of other books named after the theme of their content, such as Acts or Chronicles or Judges or Psalms or Exodus. Other books are named after the people that wrote them, such as James or 1st Peter. This is also often the case for the OT books of prophecy such as Isaiah. A few books are named after the main character that features in the story, such as Job or Ruth. Some of the books were originally letters, and are usually named after the person they were addressed to such as Hebrews of Ephesians.
The names of the books themselves are not inspired and you will find that they often vary from translation to translation and even more so from language to language. They are just convenient names that we give to reference which book.


text: In 1966, my band, Chain Reaction, opened for the Yardbirds at Staples High School, in Westport, Connecticut. We all carried our equipment into the hall together; as I recall, I dragged a couple of Jimmy Page's amps as well, so I was a roadie for the Yardbirds, or at least that's how the press took it at the time. Anyway, it was the first time I'd heard them play, and it hit me like a heat-wave. Three years later, in 1969, I saw Led Zeppelin perform at the Boston Tea Party. They ran out of songs after they played their whole first album, so they had to play a bunch of Elvis tunes, because we wouldn't let them get offstage. I just sat cross-legged in the middle section of "Dazed and Confused," and it was so fucking heavy that it made me cry. Another time I cried over Led Zeppelin was an hour later, when Jimmy Page emerged from the dressing room with a beautiful girl on his arm. I would have been very impressed, except it was the girl I had been living with up until that moment, and I was getting an incredible visual of all my clothes being thrown out into the alley on 21st Street. But Jimmy was such a motherfucker onstage, I couldn't hold it against him. Anywho, about the same time, there was this guy called Henry Smith, who was my neighbor in Sunapee, New Hampshire. I was a drummer back then, and he was my drum roadie. He was a good friend; he even cut the sleeves off of his grandmother's fur coat so that I could have something stupid to wear onstage. Well, Henry's the one that got us the gig with the Yardbirds, and all went well until one day he comes up to me, and he just quits. "I got a gig with Zeppelin," he says. I was devastated. Who was going to set up my drums at Murray's Clam Shack at the Brattleboro, Vermont? But once I got over the jealousy, I got really excited, 'cause I knew somebody who was going to work with Led Zeppelin. That was the equivalent of going to the moon with Neil Armstrong, in an Apollo capsule full of babes. And I knew I'd have enough cymbals and drumsticks for the next three years. Eventually, Henry the Horse, as Jimmy and Robert affectionately called him, introduced me to the band. On the first occasion I got to see Bonzo's drum-kit at Electric Ladyland Studios, I could feel the power even without him physically being there. Later, we went over to a sound-check at Madison Square Garden. When I got there, the road crew and the union people were all eating, and the band hadn't arrived yet. The stage was empty, and so were the 19,000 seats. The silence was deafening. I walked out to the stage; I laid down with my head hanging backwards off the edge. I was overwhelmed. I was having delusions of rock and roll grandeur, imagining that I was roaming the countryside, raping and pillaging, disguised as an ambassador of rock and roll. And that's just one of the things we learned from Led Zeppelin. So here we are, I'm still hanging off the edge of the stage; now we get to induct Led Zeppelin into the Hall of Fame.

I hate that that sinking feeling you get when your (insert the name of your lost item here) isn't where you thought it was. I have more experience with this subject than I care to admit.
One day I left my red wallet on the roof of the car when I was pumping gas because I couldn't hold the gas pump handle and my wallet at the same time, now could I? I drove off with that little red thing sitting on top my car. Nobody waved furiously at me, so I drove home 32 miles none the wiser. When I looked for my credit card to order something online that I didn't need two hours later … guess what? No red wallet. I steeled myself to confess to Honey about my/our little problem, and of course he rolled his eyes and told me I'd lose my head if it weren't attached, which is silly because it is attached, and anyone can tell that just looking at me so let's just stop fretting about my losing my head one day, okay?
Honey suggested that we drive back 32 miles to the source of my crime in case the little red wallet fell on the ground somewhere. Geez, this will be the longest, quietest 32 minutes of my life, but there is no way out of this purgatory. So I buckle up and turn the radio up and hum along. I ask the gas station attendant if she has seen a little red wallet, but she hasn't. So we drive back to the highway while I look in the gutters and on the road, but, alas, no flash of red leather. My wallet has gone forever, and I now need to replace all ID, credit cards, and even my customer card for Bare Minerals makeup, forcing me to start over collecting those little hole punches to get one free mineral makeup for every 100 purchases.
Three months pass. Then, one day, my phone rings. A man asks if I lost a little red wallet. He says he found it on the side of the highway when he was picking up garbage. I go pick it up from him and thank him profusely for his kindness. Who woulda guessed?
Flash forward to last week when I was in Oklahoma getting ready to leave for the airport and checking my purse to be sure I had my ticket, cell phone and … wait … where is my cell? I see my red work phone buried in my purse, but not my pink personal phone. I also see Honey's face in my mind, mouthing the words, "You'd lose your head …". Gawd, I have been scarred for life by his declaration about my head.
I rush back to the hotel, get a new room key, and go to room 310 where the sheets have been torn off the bed for washing. I look everywhere but can't find the dang pink phone. I'm starting to sweat. I have a plane to catch. I have a brainstorm — I'll use my red phone to call my pink phone. Maybe it's hiding somewhere. I enter my number, and I hear a faint ring, ring, ring. I try to follow the sound but can't pinpoint it. As I enter the hall, I try my phone number again. The ringing is a bit closer now. At the end of the hall, I see a laundry cart. Hmmm. The ringing gets louder as I approach the cart. I call out for the cleaning lady, and she appears, speaking Spanish. This is not so good. I point at the ringing cart and tell her "mia phona" is in her "carta." She pulls the sheets out one by one, and then suddenly my phone pops up. I have just avoided the "you'd lose your head speech …" by a sheet.
The next day when I was purchasing a gift for a friend with my credit card, and the clerk asked for my license. I poured through my purse looking in my wallet and all 12 purse compartments. No license. I rush home and go through all my clothes from the past three days. No license. In desperation, I brace myself and ask Honey if he has seen my license. He gives me the look, followed predictably by comments about my head.
Life is just very complicated, I say to console myself. So much to keep track of and so many possible hiding places. I decide I just need to relax, put my feet up, have some iced tea. I sit happily on the sofa to read the paper, but suddenly I am jolted back to reality … now where the heck did my glasses go? I was absolutely certain they were right there on the table beside the snack-size ice cream sandwich wrapper. I go to the kitchen to search for the wayward specs. I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror with my lost glasses perched right on top of my head, which, just to set the record straight, Honey, is still very attached.
My head is apparently the only thing I haven't lost.

It is not the appropriate way to differentiate between those three words and collocates, respectively. You forget "bis in", "bis nach", "bislang", ...
First of all, depending on its usage the word bis is a different type of word: conjunction, adverb or preposition.
Depending on what you're saying a preposition like auf, zu, nach etc. is following bis.
The word bisher, however, is a compound of bis and her and determine a time range from an indefinite point in the past until now. You can replace bisher with bis jetzt, bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt without changing the meaning. If the time span is quite long (i.e. days, months or years) you can also replace bisher with bis heute.
I left out the conjunction since it is not important to your question.

Rated 5 out of 5 by photogrl Cute Cookie Tin I saw this online during a sale and the minty green color caught my attention. It has a nice vintage vibe and works great for the holiday season but could also be used year-round. I was happy with the purchase overall. January 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cada Meets functional use and cute decor but okay shipping I loved the color and design of this storage tin for my kitchen. It is the perfect size however it did come with minor dents in it. I got it super cheap online with free shipping so it wasn't enough to upset me and the dents are very minor but it was still a bit disappointing. Still, I use it all the time and still like it!

Meticulously handmade from start to finish by Chilean artisans, this ensemble places hand-cut turquoise, obtained from the Andes mountains, in stunning sterling silver settings. Its elegant simplicity recalls the motifs of the ancient Aztec, whose tradition held that turquoise brought prosperity.
Believed to bestow the wearer with courage, luck, health, and protection, turquoise has been used in jewelry making for millennia by cultures as diverse as the Navajo, ancient Egyptians, and Tibetans. Turquoise can range in color from light yellow-green to dark blue, and usually contains turquoise matrix, the dark veins of other minerals with which it developed. It figures in the creation myth of the Anasazi Indians, who tell that the tribe first entered the world through the mouth of a New Mexico cave that is now a turquoise mine. In Tibet, the sky is called "the turquoise of heaven," and both men and women value jewelry featuring the gem in sky blue hues. Turquoise is sometimes given as a love token to one's betrothed, because its color is said to remain pure as long as the affection lasts.

McCumber wins Fla. Open; Perry third
Published: Sunday, July 21, 2013 at 5:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 22, 2013 at 12:14 a.m.
Tyler McCumber double-bogeyed the final hole Sunday, but had enough of a cushion to survive and post a two-shot victory at the 67th Florida Open at Quail Valley Golf Club in Vero Beach.
Port Orange's Rod Perry finished third, one shot behind runner-up Nyasha Mauchaza of Port St. Lucie.
McCumber, a former Florida Gator and son of former PGA Tour regular Mark McCumber, finished at 12 under par with a 69-68-67—204.
Perry, who recently won the PGA Professional National Championship, shot 68 Sunday after opening with rounds of 70 and 69 for a 207. Perry, head pro at Crane Lakes in Port Orange, won the event in 2011.
Kevin Aylwin, like Perry a graduate from New Smyrna Beach High School, finished tied for sixth in the 156-player field with a 67-72-71—210.
The Florida Open dates back to 1942. Past winners include Gardner Dickinson, Bob Murphy, Gary Koch, Eddie Pearce, John Huston, Bart Bryant and Daytona Beach native Dave Ragan.

Five Bulldog pitchers combined to limit Portland (0-2) to a run on four hits.
The win was Mississippi State's 1,000th at the current site of Dudy Noble Field, MSU's on-campus baseball home since 1967.
"It's great to be a part of a program with so much history," said Cohen, who has now been associated with 179 of those wins as a player and head coach at State. "The 1,000 wins represent a lot of players, coaches and fans who through the years have given so much to Mississippi State baseball."
Starting pitchers Evan Mitchell and Travis Radke hooked up in a dandy pitching duel. Mitchell allowed one run on three hits while striking out six in five innings, his longest stint since a career-best 8-inning freshman year performance in the NCAA Atlanta Regional. Radke, the 2012 West Coach Conference Freshman of the Year, registered nine strikeouts and scattered seven hits before exiting the game in the seventh.
After three scoreless innings, State broke scoring ice. Junior outfielder Hunter Renfroe reached on a bunt single that scored Wes Rea from third. The Pilots avoided further damage later in the fourth by turning an inning-ending double play.
Mitchell walked the first Pilot batter he faced in the sixth and Jeff Melby then came through with his second single of the game to tie the score.
State used a two-out rally to regain the lead in the home half of the sixth. Daryl Norris delivered a two-out single and later touched home on Henderson's game-winning hit.
Ross Mitchell (1-0), who replaced starter Evan Mitchell in the sixth, pitched an inning of scoreless relief to get the win. Ben Bracewell and C.T. Bradford blanked the Pilots in the seventh and into the eight before Holder, a candidate for the 2013 NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award, came on to close the door. Holder fanned four of the six batters he faced over the final two frames to earn his first save of the year and the 10th of his two-year career.
"Jonathan Holder did a great job for us and Nick Ammirati was outstanding today behind the plate," said Cohen. "That's going to be so important for us to have two catchers that can do a great job for us. We hung in there pretty well against a very good, SEC-caliber pitcher (Radke), and then Demarcus (Henderson) gets the big hit for us."
Designated hitter Trey Porter laced a double and a single to lead State at the plate. Melby had two of Portland's four hits.
During pregame ceremonies, 2012 Bulldog senior outfielder Brent Brownlee was presented the Mike Burns Teammate of the Year Award by Coach John Cohen and Martha Burns, the wife of the late All-SEC outfielder. Among others on hand for the ceremony were Burns' former Bulldog teammates Bill Hamilton and Ken Tatum, also members of State's 1965 and 1966 SEC championship teams. Tatum, a second-round MLB draft pick, pitched six years in the Majors.
State and Portland conclude their four-game opening weekend series Sunday with a 1 p.m. twinbill at Dudy Noble Field. The radio broadcasts of the two games will be heard in the Golden Triangle on WNMQ-FM (103.1).
