Spice up your Mardi Gras celebration with these food and drink recipes.
Rice balls are a trendy menu item in contemporary restaurants, but here in the South, calas, or fried rice balls, have been eaten for centuries. The word calas means fried rice cake or fritter. It comes from the African word for rice. Rice balls were sold on the street corners in New Orleans as early as the 1800s. This recipe is my version of a spicy "rice ball."
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
6 ounces peeled crawfish tails or shrimp, chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
3 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
10 cubes (1/2 inch) mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons rice flour
1 tablespoon sliced scallions (optional)
1. Melt the butter in a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2. Stir in 1 cup of the broth and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the crawfish (or shrimp) and cook until just opaque, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Drain the mixture in a sieve set over a medium bowl. Return the liquid to the skillet and scoop the crawfish mixture (in the sieve) into the medium bowl. Season the crawfish mixture with the salt, 1/8 teaspoon of the black pepper, and the cayenne. Set aside to cool at room temperature.
4. Beat together the whole egg and egg whites. When the crawfish mixture is cooled, stir in the beaten eggs, rice, and flour.
5. Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Measure out 1/4 cup of the rice mixture and put it in the palm of your hand. Place a cheese cube in the center of the rice mixture. Gently form into a ball around the cheese. Place on the baking sheet. Repeat the process to make a total of 10 rice balls. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
7. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the panko in a plate. Working with 1 rice ball at a time, pat the panko crumbs around the ball. Gently press the ball in your palms to keep a compact sphere shape. Carefully place 2 rice balls in the hot oil. Turn the balls with a fork, browning them all over. Repeat with the remaining balls.
8. When all rice balls have been browned, place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the rice balls to a paper towel–lined plate to cool slightly.
9. While the rice balls are baking, make the sauce. Whisk together the rice flour and remaining 3/4 cup broth in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and keep hot until ready to serve.
10. To serve, spoon a large spoonful of sauce on a small plate. Place a rice ball on the sauce. If desired, sprinkle scallions on top.

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 ½ ounces unsweetened chocolate
3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
2 cups half-and-half
¼ cup sugar
Soaking Liquid:
1 ½ cups half-and-half
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
8 ½- inch thick slices of brioche or challah
1. Prepare the custard: In a stainless steel bowl or double boiler placed over simmering water, melt the two chocolates.
2. In large stainless steel bowl, beat the whole eggs and the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in the sugar and beat until fluffy.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan bring the half-and-half to a rolling boil. Slowly whisk into the egg mixture. Then, whisk in the melted chocolate. Chill over ice and refrigerate, covered, until needed. (This should be prepared the day before so that the custard will thicken.)
4. When ready to prepare the pudding, combine the soaking liquid ingredients in a saucepan and heat until the cocoa is completely dissolved. With a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut each slice of bread into two inch circles (16 circles). Arrange the circles of bread in 1 or 2 dishes large enough to hold the circles in one layer. Pour the soaking liquid over and soak well, turning so that the bread absorbs as much liquid as possible.
5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 8 1-cup colds or custard cups.
6. Prepare the pudding: Spoon a layer of custard (about ¼ cup) into the bottom of each of the 8 cups. Using a slotted spoon remove a circle of bread and set in the custard. Spoon over a second layer of custard, a second circle of bread and top with a final layer of custard. Repeat this procedure, filling the remaining cups with custard and bread, and then arrange the cups in a large baking pan. Fill the pan with boiling water, halfway up the sides of the cups. Bake 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate until needed.

2 cut up fryer chickens
1 lb. smoked or Andouille sausage (sliced bite size)
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 cup all purpose flour
3 onions chopped
5 stalks celery chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
10 garlic toes chopped

2 bay leaves
1 bunch Italian parsley chopped
1 bunch green onions chopped
1. Season chicken with salt and cayenne or a Creole seasoning. Brown chicken and sausage in oven, 425 degrees, 20 minutes.
2. While chicken is browning, make a roux using 3/4 cup vegetable oil to one cup all purpose flour. When roux is the color of the bayou after a heavy rain, add onions. Simmer for 10 minutes, add celery and peppers. Simmer another 15 minutes, then add garlic. Stir often.
3. Add about two quarts of water or chicken broth, bay leaves, and season to taste with salt, cayenne, and Worcestershire sauce. When liquid is hot, add chicken and continue to cook on high heat for 10 minutes. Lower heat, cook for 30 more minutes, add sausage. Continue to cook for at least an hour or when meat breaks away from the bone. Skim off excess grease.
4. Let stand to cool. De-boning is optional. When ready to serve, re-heat, add parsley and onion tops. Serve with rice.

CREDIT: Michael C. Majure, Owner & Chef, Petit Bois Café via the Gulf Coast Regional Tourism Partnership
2 1/2 ounces (5 tablespoons) butter
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, homemade or prepared
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic, peeled and chopped
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Tabasco™ sauce to taste
1/2 cup grits (standard quick grits or stone ground*)
1 1/2 cups preferably Wisconsin Gouda Cheese, shredded
1. Bring the butter, broth, cream, garlic, salt, pepper, and Tabasco to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Add all the grits, whisking and stirring constantly. Simmer.
2. Continue cooking, stirring often with a wooden spoon as the mixture thickens, until the grits are soft and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Fold in Gouda cheese, reserving a little for garnish. Serve immediately.
Home Cook's Note: To turn this sumptuous recipe into an entrée, saute 1 pound medium peeled, deveined shrimp in butter with garlic. Top the grits with the shrimp.
*Fresh, stone-ground grits have the best flavor; the cooking time will be approximately twice as long. If you do use freshly ground grits, you will want to keep a little extra stock available. Because of the longer cooking time, evaporation occurs.

1/2 cup Creole or other stone-ground mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 cup (about 1 ounce) preferably Wisconsin Parmesan Cheese, grated
2 tablespoon butter
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
4 fully cooked pork or chicken Andouille sausages
4 French rolls* or 4 baguette slices, cut to sausage length (about 5" long)
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1 1/2 cups preferably Wisconsin Provolone Cheese, shredded
Hot Louisiana-style pepper sauce, optional
1. Make sauce. Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
For sandwiches:
1. Heat butter in heavy medium skillet. Add onions, tossing to coat with butter. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until onions are soft and caramelized. Salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
2. Brush griddle or heavy skillet with cooking spray or unflavored oil. Heat until almost smoking. Split sausages lengthwise and place cutside-down on griddle. Turn when browned, and brown skinned-side, cooking until heated through.
3. Split rolls or baguette slices lengthwise. Spread the cut sides (tops and bottoms) generously with prepared sauce. Spread about 1/4 cup of spinach leaves on each roll bottom. Top each with 1/4 of onions. Sprinkle Provolone shreds over, dividing equally over the 4 bottoms. Place sausage halves on top of cheese and place roll tops over. Serve hot pepper sauce on the side, if you desire.
*Choose a roll with a fairly soft crust, making the sandwich easier to eat and similar to New Orleans-style bread.

Though Jambalaya most often uses smoked sausage or ham, I use turkey smoked sausage or turkey kielbasa. If you're not familiar with it, kielbasa is a Polish smoked sausage. In a dish like this, it tastes very similar to American smoked sausage. The varieties I use have only 3 grams of fat for 2 ounces and taste great (see page 17). You'd never guess they're as light as they are. Always check labels; a few brands of turkey smoked sausage have much more fat.
It's important to have all of your ingredients measured before you start cooking this recipe, or it won't be quite as easy as it really is.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, visible fat removed, cut into 2-inch cubes
3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 large green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and coarsely chopped
2 cups coarsely chopped onion (about 1 large onion)
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic (about 4 medium cloves)
1 1/2 cups converted long-grain white rice, uncooked
3/4 pound extra-lean smoked turkey sausage or kielbasa (3 grams of fat or less per 2-ounce serving), sliced on a diagonal into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon ancho chile pepper (see page 15)
Two 14.5-ounce cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes
2 large dried bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, plus more to taste, if desired
One 14.5-ounce can fat-free or 98% fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth (not low-sodium)
1 1/4 pounds large (21–25 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
1. Combine the chicken and 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
2. Place a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Put in 11/2 teaspoons of the olive oil and the bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is just tender but not browning, 10 to 13 minutes. Remove the veggies and set them aside.
3. Turn the heat to medium-high. Put another 11/2 teaspoons of the olive oil and the rice in the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is just starting to brown lightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer to a separate bowl from the veggies. Set aside.
4. Turn the heat to high. When the pan is hot, put in the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the chicken and cook, about 2 minutes per side, until the outsides are browned in spots. Push the chicken to the outer edges and add the sausage. Cook the sausage, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
5. Turn the heat back down to medium and add the veggies back to the pan. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning, the oregano, and the ancho chile pepper. Stir until well combined. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomatoes, including the juice, the bay leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne. Then add the chicken broth and turn the heat to high. When the liquid comes to a full boil, stir in the rice.
6. When it returns to a boil, turn the heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer until the rice is cooked and absorbs most of the liquid, 35 to 45 minutes.
7. About 5 minutes before it's cooked, stir in the shrimp and continue cooking, covered, for 5 minutes more. Remove the bay leaves. Season with cayenne to taste, if desired. Serve immediately.

1 3-1/2 to 4 pound whole chicken
Cajun Creole Rub:
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1. Wash the chicken and dry thoroughly, inside and out. Loosen the skin across the breast and then down around the leg and thigh using a chopstick or your fingers. In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the rub. Work the rub under the skin and onto the meat of the breasts, legs and thighs and then all over the outside skin as well. Season the inside cavity with any remaining rub.
2. Using an elastic food tie, truss the chicken. Rotate the chicken on the spit rods for 55 to 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.

Biotechnology uses biological processes to solve problems in such areas as health and medicine, agriculture and manufacturing.
Expanded Definition
When used as a description in investing, a biotechnology company (biotech), is generally distinguished from a pharmaceutical company in that its business is more weighted toward research and development based on biology (the "bio" part of biotechnology), rather than chemistry or pharmacology.
A biotech is often seen as a more risky investment because the investor's focus will be on the pipeline that the company is developing, rather than products that are already approved and on the market. These "pipeline" items or compounds may not ultimately come to profitable fruition in the marketplace. Typically, it can take several years of research, bio-engineering, and testing before a product's efficacy (or lack thereof) is known.
In agriculture, biotechnology refers to crops and products related to the growing of crops that have been genetically modified in the laboratory with the goal of producing crops that have superior characteristics such as being more nutritious or disease- and/or drought-resistant.
Some argue in favor of this practice, pointing to the notion that farmers have been genetically modifying crops for centuries; others consider the use of this science dangerous. The general concern in that regard is for the unknown long-term ramifications and consequences of modifying biology.
In agriculture, the leading biotechnology companies are Monsanto, Dupont, and Syngenta, followed by Dow and BASF.

Notre Dame defense embracing the challenges of new expectations
A faster, more aggressive defense is in store for 2014.
NOTRE DAME — In a jarring moment of unfamiliarity, Jaylon Smith lined up in the center of the defense.
It came during practice Wednesday, March 19, when the lifelong outside linebacker moved inside for the first time in his career.
As part of Notre Dame's shifting scheme, head coach Brian Kelly and defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder are playing with pieces of the defense during the spring.
Smith is a cornerstone of such changes, scooting inside for certain packages and moving back outside for others. With a ceiling as high as Smith's, Kelly and VanGorder can afford to experiment with his talents.
"We're finding that out right now as to what he can do," Kelly said after practice. "We don't want offenses to know where he is. We're going to play him in a number of different positions. He can be inside, outside, we're moving him all over the place."
But rather than feeling out of place, lost or overwhelmed, the sophomore feels energized.
"I'm blessed with that opportunity. It's not going to do anything but help me in the long run," he said.
Another piece in VanGorder's plan is the swap from a 3-4 defense once dominated by Stephon Tuitt and Louis Nix to a 4-3 defense with extra emphasis on the secondary.
Ishaq Williams, once an outside linebacker, swings up to become the fourth defensive end. Williams, a 2014 senior, said the biggest hurdle so far is nailing down consistency along the four-man front.
"We're definitely in the beginning stages of it," he said "Just trying to learn what I have to do and commit it to a routine."
Junior cornerback KeiVarae Russell accepts the additional responsibilities loaded on the secondary, which finally enters the spring as the most experienced unit on the defense.
Four practices into the spring, Russell can already see the major differences between a Bob Diaco-run defense and a VanGorder-run defense — namely, the emphasis on aggression.
With Diaco, Notre Dame focused on not giving up the big play, even if that meant playing more tentatively. As a result, the Irish locked down a respectable 15th-ranked pass defense in 2013, limiting opposing quarterbacks to an average of 198 yards per game.
On the other hand, the cautious defense only forced 17 turnovers and was also prone to getting caught sleeping over the middle.
With VanGorder, it's all aggression, all the time.
"He wants us to be up on every single route, every single route," Russell said. "Two-yard curl, he wants you on it. Even if you're 10 yards off. That's his mindset. Don't give them anything. Do not give them anything."
While Jarrett Grace, Carlo Calabrese and Dan Fox were frequently burned in underneath routes through the 2013 season, Smith lurking in the middle gives Notre Dame an immediate chance to force more turnovers. After all, Manti Te'o grabbed seven interceptions as an inside linebacker in 2012.
Inside, outside or a bit of both, Smith is ready to become an integral piece in the newly reformed defense.
"In terms of being challenged, it's something that I wanted," he said.

Tips to Become Employable By Mrinal Das !!!
By Nadiya on Oct 09, 2013
From my little experience in the field of recruitment and more precisely university hiring for technology (IT) companies, I see a huge gap between the industry needs and the syllabus or curriculum that are taught in colleges.
Due to the rapidly changing dynamics facing the 21st century and increasing competition day by day globally industry demands ready to deploy resources or expect minimal training requirement for the new hires to become productive and start contributing to the job. While I understand the fact that for a country like India with 1.25 billion population and so much complex diversity, it may be difficult for the education systems to catch up with the industry and do short periodical revision on curriculum. However, there are certain key skills that can be taught and practiced while you are still in campus and become employable.
Key Employability Skills
- Technology Skills - All that you need to know to clear any technical interview with any software company residing in any corner of the world are – Programming (C/C++/Java), Data Structure, and OS
- Problem Solving Skills - which contribute to productive outcomes of any given problem
- Communication Skills- which contribute to productive and harmonious relations between various stakeholders
- Teamwork skills - which contribute to productive working relationships and outcomes
- Initiative and Enterprise skills - which contribute to innovative outcomes
- Planning and Organizing skills - which contribute to long-term and short-term strategic planning
- Self-Management skills - which contribute to employee satisfaction and growth
- Learning skills - which contribute to ongoing improvement and expansion in employee and company operations and outcomes.
Set SMART Goal - Goals must be SMART (Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and Time bound) Dream about your Goal everyday!
Improve Written and Oral COMMUNICATION - Read English newspapers daily, Talk in English to your classmates and to your faculty (don't bother about your grammar and fluency), Watch quiz, news and informative programs in English media. Also watch how great people have become great!
PARTICIPATE in Extracurricular activities, technical and management fests - Just participate , don't bother about the results
Ask FEEDBACK - Give & get Feedback about your performance and your personality from your peer group .Take Criticisms as a chance to improve. Ask for feedback immediately after any performance lest they may forget. Put in additional efforts to correct your mistakes
STOP COMPLAINING - Stop Complaining about the external factors and Count your Blessings. This will help you develop a positive attitude (instead start analyzing your internal factors- your capabilities , your weakness etc)
YOU ARE UNIQUE - Do Not compare yourself with anybody else in the world! YOU ARE UNIQUE and You have to develop a unique identity of your Own
Have a MENTOR - Have a mentor who will guide you in difficult times and also motivate you in all aspects of your career and life (The difference between a role model and a mentor is that you aspire to be like your role model , and your mentor helps you in the process
Use Positive SELF AFFIRMATION - Use Positive self affirmation statements like "Yes, I Can Do it!", "I am confident "," I will be Successful". Shed all negative thoughts and egos. Ignore unproductive negative comments and criticisms. Positive criticism gives you the platform for improvement whereas negative criticism pulls your legs down so that you will fall!

My MK9.....when I couldn't wear my P229 and I didn't have my P239 yet.

Yes - XD45 reluctantly replaced my 1911 ... I had bought the XD for a home defense gun, I wanted the rail and capacity. Now I carry it about 80%.

My MK9.....when I couldn't wear my P229 and I didn't have my P239 yet.
Magazine <> clip - know the difference
martyr is a fancy name for crappy fighter
You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
I bought a 6" Ruger Security Six for my wifes house gun. Had no plan to ever carry it and still don't. If it was a 4" barrel I might try it, but 6" is just a bit too much to conceal.
I also bought another RIA 1911 last year and don't plan to carry it.
Oh yeah, .22 cal with a six inch barrel is also a non-carry gun.
Let me stop here and say that the only guns I have that were bought with carry in mind were my .38 snubby and mid size .40 cal. The rest are for other purposes.
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
Yep, when I bought my S&W 637 I expected it to be more of a glovebox gun because I was carrying a full-size 1911 at the time. After practicing a ton, I've become confident with it and now it's my daily carry. It's on my hip right now, actually.
my 22 pistol and my sigma 9mm.
Both were bought as range pistols, the 22 was for good cheap fun and the sigma was bought to shoot a cheaper ammo in a full size gun to practice with. It is now sitting in the kitchen in my apt, the only room i go to with out my M&P40.

To clarify, the question was about a gun you bought with no intentions of it being an EDC, but it has become your primary EDC.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
I bought a Taurus 850 CIA ultralight to use until I figured out what I really wanted to carry. I figured out that I like the Taurus better than anything else I can come up with so it has become my EDC.
The purchase of my G17 last winter, which was just supposed to be pretty much for the range and a house gun, is what ended up luring me over to the "dark side"...and also the 9mm caliber, which I was completely opposed to carrying beforehand.
Now Glocks are pretty much all I would consider carrying. Of course, that may change, but probably not anytime soon.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil...
Have several that I never intended for EDC. First one was my Ruger Mark II target, then there is the Taurus Model 44, 8" vent ribbed 44 Mag and of course my black powder pistols.
Freedom doesn't come free. It is bought and paid for by the lives and blood of our men and women in uniform.

I bought a XD40 for EDC, and within a month picked up a M&P40 and a M&P40c for fun...
After the first trip to the range to shoot these three, the XD became the range piece and I carry either the 40 or 40c...
No BUG for me.
I keep an EDC and an under bed/ lock box pistol. The under bed pistol is larger, and does not lend itself easily to EDC. It's secondary role is to enjoy longer shots that would be more than the EDC pistol is really intended for.
Yes, I've bought many non-EDC pistols. I usually keep only two pistols around, but I've always had the non-EDC pistol.
I've never had one that became my EDC, although at times when my EDC was unavailable, I have "made do" with the second pistol for a short time. I even once carried a 5 inch 629 Classic for a couple of days...
I enjoy collecting guns so the great majority have been acquired with no thought of use as an EDC. I've purchased a few for self-protection through the years that have proved to seldom see use for the purpose.
Not really for me. I'm on a rather limited budget and buy for specific reasons. I have my Glock 19 and 26 for EDC and the 34 and 35 for competition use. Those are the only handguns I own.

Oreochromis spp.
Grill it, bake it, fry it, poach it. Tilapia has a firm, flaky white flesh and a mild taste to adapt to any style of cooking and every combination of flavors.
Tilapia is native to Africa and well suited to aquaculture, and is a robust, fast-growing and easy-to-rear species. Its adaptability in cooking, ease to farm and relatively low cost have made it a popular seafood around the world. This tasty fish grows rapidly, breeds readily and eats a mostly vegetarian diet, making it an excellent choice for aquaculture. Try tilapia with beurre rouge and toasted orzo or crispy tilapia tacos.
Also known as:
|Tilapia, blue tilapia, Mozambique tilapia, Nile tilapia, St. Peter's fish
Product forms:
|Fresh and frozen, whole, fillets or pre-seasoned
Shopping tips:
|Tilapia skin color can vary, but has no affect on the taste of the fish.
|Tilapia is flaky and mild-tasting, and can be substituted for any similar fish, including flounders, cod or other mild, white fish.

Farming Method
Tilapia is very versatile and can be grown in all aquaculture production facilities including ponds, raceways, floating cages and tanks. Pond production is the most common method globally, usually using a series of three ponds—a pond for breeding, a pond for fry (young tilapia) to acclimate pond and a pond for tilapia to grow until they are ready to be harvested. In the US, tilapia are most commonly farmed in tanks that reuse production water, whereas in Latin America, pond culture is the predominant method. A tilapia is ready to be harvested when it is about six months old.
Conservation Notes
Farmed tilapia eat a predominantly vegetarian-based diet, reducing the need to harvest wild fish to feed them. Tilapia are also relatively resistant to disease which can help reduce or eliminate the need for chemicals or antibiotics. As a whole, tilapia have fewer impacts than other farmed species, making them a good seafood choice. While tilapia are a good all-around choice, U.S. farms are often held to higher environmental requirements and grown in systems that further minimize the potential for escapes. Farms in Latin America generally have good environmental practices and can be considered ocean-friendly choices. There are of course individual farms in other countries that also produce to high environmental standards. Look for those products that highlight their environmentally responsible actions.

What's the difference:
- Would you give me some advice?
- Will you give me some advices?
What's the difference:
Would can be either conditional or subjunctive, but it is often used (as your examples demonstrate) interchangeably with will.
Will is an inquiry after the consent of the respondent, whose inclinations comprise the sole issue at hand. "Will you give me some advice?" literally means it is up to "your" discretion either to give or withhold the advice.
"Would you give me some advice?" on the other hand implies some other conditions may affect your decision. Unstated but implied in this sentence may be some other information. Or there may be a contextual linkage or even a direct statement. I think of Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham:
The terms of the conditional are clearly set forth. The questioner is proffering various inducements to sweeten the deal for the recalcitrant hater of "Sam-I-Am".
In any case, asking either question in conversation will, in the vast majority of cases, be understood simply as a request for advice, without all the grammatical analysis.
Would is the past tense of will in sentences like
The difference between Would you give me some advice? and Will you give me some advice? is that the first is considered a polite way to ask help, while the second (depending on the context) could be also understood as expressing desire, consent, or willingness.
Conventionally, would can be either the past simple or the past subjunctive of will. To put it very simply, it is best considered past simple if you are looking forward from a past perspective in a story. In that case, it is used in the middle of a narrative that is in the past tense. Both the narrative and would are then simply a description of the past; what would be will in a narrative in the present tense becomes would:
In most other cases, it is past subjunctive. This tense can be used in several ways, of which the conditional is the most frequent:
All the above generally applies equally to the other modal verbs, can, shall, and may.
If you say "will you give me some advice?", this is a perfectly fine and polite request, though perhaps a tiny bit old fashioned. It could theoretically be a question about the other person's desire, but context makes it clear that this is not what is intended.
"Would you give me some advice?" is an attempt at even greater politeness, because the conditional makes the request even more tentative, as explained above. Take your pick.
Either would or will work, but you wouldn't change the noun:
These ideas come from long years of teaching ESL/EFL and from those same long years spent studying the English language. I simply made note that when students followed the rules they produced unnatural English. I made note when students said to me, "why are you saying, "we might [do something] tomorrow" when 'might' is the past tense of may and you're talking about tomorrow"?
No, it isn't. I certainly agree with you that that's long been what people have been told, but it's simply not true. But I don't suspect that me telling you that, even twice, is going to convince you.
I won't try to give you an example of 'would' as a past tense usage of 'will' because I can't. No English speaker can. It can't be done.
The only part of your quote above that is past/finished is 'told'. I'm making the assumption for the purposes of my argument that we haven't yet come to Tuesday, so the event isn't finished, which is another great indicator that what 'would' is doing here is not describing a past time event which would, of course, then have to trigger a true past tense use.
Another equally valid and grammatical response to what you suggest is 'would' as a "past tense usage of will", could be,
2) I told him, "I will meet you in the city on Tuesday".
Do you agree?
Now, how would 'would' be the past tense of an action that has not yet occurred. Do we ever use a past tense for the purpose of describing an action that hasn't happened?
Moreover, if it was a true past tense, why are we able to use 'will' in 2), above.
In fact, why can we continue to use 'will' for all time, even when and if the action IS ever completed, to describe the direct quote? The reason for that is a simple one; the actions that we take with respect to direct versus indirect speech are done to mark them, not as past or present tense, but as direct [quoted accurately] or indirect [not quoted accurately].
Think of all the times that we [newspapers, people] use these grammatical patterns and we never seek to find out if the action commented on has ever come to pass.
Now, let's say that we have reached Tuesday, and the "I" has met the "you/him". We now have a completed action.
Would any native speaker ever say in order to describe that that action of meeting has been completed,
We would meet on Tuesday. ?
[I'm referring to a usual past tense, not to 'would used in the past for a future'.]
Why does 'would' fail when it comes time to the central purpose of past tense, describing a finished action?
[I'm not ignoring you, Cerebus.]
There is a very easy way to tell. Modal verbs have no tense. In modern English, all modal verbs are tenseless. There are no past tense forms or present tense forms. In older forms of English, modals did have tense, so we can accurately refer to modern modals as "historical past tense forms" or "historical present tense forms".
It's easy to prove this because no one can make a sentence in English where any one of the purported past tense modals acts as a real past tense.
Where modals seem like they are being used as a past tense, in reporting speech, they aren't really acting as past tense. They are simply being used the same as the past tense FORM of lexical verbs in a process called backshifting, to signal that the speech is not direct/quoted but rather it is indirect/reported.
The difference between "Would you give me some advice?" and "Will you give me some advice?" is only one of level of politeness/deference. As the historical past tense forms, in their epistemic [level of certainty] meanings show a greater sense of doubt/certainty, that same doubt/uncertainty carries over to modal deontic [social] meaning so they are considered more polite/more deferential/softer/less direct.

How to prove that the closure induced by a proximity corresponds to a topology?

$\newcommand{\cl}{\operatorname{cl}}$Let $\langle X,\delta\rangle$ be a proximity space, and for $A\subseteq X$ define $\cl A=\big\{x\in X:\{x\}\delta A\big\}$.
By definition of a proximity we have:
We need a few very basic consequences.
With these basics established it's easy to check that $\cl$ is a closure operator.
It's well-known that any closure operator induces a topology.

VUEMED is extremely well positioned to offer the tools and services to all key industry constituents in order to fulfill this role for the supply chain.
April 2014: VUEMED is pleased to announce the inauguration of its European operations through an exclusive partnership with distributors based out of Basingstoke, Hampshire, U.K.
April 2013: VUEMED and Optimé Supply Chain have joined forces to create OptiVue™, an exclusive Web-based software solution that gives hospital managers and administrators reliable and comprehensive clinical utilization data, as well as the means to analyze and act on it. OptiVue™ successfully breaks down IT system silos in hospitals and creates a seamless, integrated data flow from otherwise fragmented applications, such as materials management, clinical information systems, billing and electronic medical records. OptiVue™ connects patient, demographic and account information to the supplies used at the point of care, as well as to the performing physicians and procedure type. As a result, hospitals are able to track product flow, clinical utilization and patient care costs with complete certainty. Official OptiVue™ Press Release.
December 2012: VUEMED is pleased to announce that Version 5 (V5) of our VueTrack™ software is now being implemented at many of our customer sites as part of the free upgrade program that comes with their subscription to VueTrack™. Numerous enhancements have been made that are visibly boosting the user's experience. For example, the V5 scanning application now has an audit tool for periodic or annual inventory recount that enhances inventory accuracy. Furthermore, our all-new V5 web reporting system uses cutting-edge technology that dramatically increases its reporting capabilities, allowing for even more impressive data analyses and comparisons. It also now includes a dashboard that displays all vital information about inventory status and usage transactions, while providing one-click access to custom reports and a more comprehensive and intuitive search function. In addition, our new version of VueTrack™ also enables users to maintain full traceability of surgical case carts, manage product orders and correct inventory discrepancies more effectively, and provide more powerful financial reporting about the composition, usage and value of inventory.
October 2012: Our Germany-based partner, Madera, is adding Belgium and the Netherlands to its VueTrack™ distribution territory.
May 2012: VUEMED has recently witnessed an upsurge in the interest of smaller hospital departments in finding effective inventory management tools. Our recent implementation of VueTrack™ in the GI department at Massachusetts General Hospital is an example of such interest, and we look forward to continuing our longstanding partnership with MGH.
December 2011: VUEMED expands further into Australia with the implementation of VueTrack™ in the Cath Lab at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney. VUEMED works in collaboration with Imaxeon in Australia, its exclusive local distributor.
December 2010: VUEMED expands to Australia with the installation of VueTrack™ in the Interventional Radiology Department at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney. Liverpool Hospital is the largest tertiary facility in New South Wales with a capacity of 855 beds. VUEMED's expansion into Australia is being conducted in partnership with its exclusive local distributor Imaxeon in Sydney, NSW, a distributor and manufacturer of medical products.
October 2010: VUEMED expands to Europe with the signing of an exclusive distribution agreement with the medical products distribution firm Madera, based in Saarbrücken, Germany. The VUEMED/Madera partnership will focus on distributing VueTrack™ in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, and Lichtenstein.

SECTION: Computing, Information, and Data
SUBJECT: Computer Account Administrator
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 4, 1989
This policy provides for the administration of the Financial Accounting Information
System (FAIS) computer accounts that are used for acquiring Computing and
Information Systems' (CIS) computing and University Network (PittNet) services for
the following types of accounts:
- Sponsored projects (Grants)
- Commercial projects (External users)
- Carnegie Mellon University Accounts
- University students working on class, departmental, or school projects
- Faculty and Staff working on departmental projects
Operating Budgets
Responsibility center computing and information systems services budgets are
established as determined by the Provost (for academic centers), the Executive Vice
President (for the administrative centers), and the Senior Vice President for the Health
Sciences (for health centers). FAIS Administrators may allocate funds among
departments in their responsibility centers at their discretion.
Budget responsibility for the portion of the CIS budget associated with Academic
User Consulting and Academic Computing Labs has been allocated to the Provost.
Similarly, the CIS budget associated with Administrative Development Projects and
Administrative User Office Equipment has been allocated to the Executive Vice
Budget responsibility for student computing charges to the Universal Student
Computing (USC) fund has been allocated to the Office of the Provost. CIS, as agent
for the Provost, will administer and supervise the USC allocation and associated
student computer accounts. CIS is not authorized to permit application of the
Provost's USC allocation to any computer account beyond the conditions established
Funds required for computing related services that will exceed budgeted amounts for
a particular responsibility center must be requested from the appropriate senior officer
and supported with adequate justification.
FAIS Administrators and Project Leaders
FAIS Administrators and project leaders are responsible for establishing the dollar
amounts that are required for the use of CIS services.
Computing Services Rates
CIS is responsible for establishing the rates for charging for computing and
information services. If a University department outside of CIS wants to establish a
rate for a computing-related service, such rates must be reviewed and approved by
CIS in conjunction with the Office of the Comptroller prior to its use or publication. All
such rates must be developed using methodology that is consistent with that used in
the development of the rates used by CIS.
Commercial Users of CIS Services
Commercial users of CIS services are responsible for the following:
- Submitting a Purchase Order and a Federal Tax Exemption Certification (when
- Designate an individual who has authority to enter into a contract with the
University for computing services
- Obtaining a valid external CAP account from CIS
The Director of CIS in consultation with the Comptroller will recommend approval or
rejection of commercial applications for use of CIS services.
Agreements between the University and commercial users of CIS services must be
signed by the Executive Vice President, or his designate before such agreements can
be considered valid.
Use of Carnegie Mellon University Computing Facilities
- Applications for use of the computing facilities at Carnegie Mellon University must
be reviewed and approved by the Director of CIS
- Justification for use of these facilities must be provided at the time of submitting
the application
Universal Student Computing
Each registered student is provided access to the University's academic computing
facilities for a particular student's scholastic activities. Registered students may
acquire a Universal Student Computing (USC) account from CIS/Computer Accounts
Office to enable access to the VMS and UNIX timesharing systems. The student's
computer account will be charged to the USC fund of the Office of the Provost, and is
subject to the following limitations:
- A maximum amount established by the Provost may be charged to any USC
account each term
- Part-time students are limited to 40% of the maximum allocation of that permitted
for full-time students
- A maximum amount of the allocation per term, established by the Provost, is
allowed for printing
- Any USC account will be suspended if the CIS office has reasonable grounds to
suspect that the account is being used for improper purposes, or that it is being
used by someone other than the student to whom it was assigned. Exceptions
must be authorized in writing to CIS, from the Provost or his authorized designate.
Improper use of mainframe accounts will result in the filing of a complaint against
the student with the Student Judicial Board.
Students whose computer needs are not met by the maximum amount established by
the Provost may exercise any of the following alternatives:
- Class Account - Upper level Computer Science or Engineering courses that are
"computer intensive", and require more computing than permitted on a USC
account may be given another computer account funded by the teaching
department. The account must be supervised and under the restrictions and/or
limitations imposed by the course instructor.
- Research Project Account - Research projects requiring computing time in
excess of the USC limits will be provided an account for this purpose through the
department and supervised by the research project director.
- Special Account - When difficulty is experienced with the USC account limitations
for any other reasons, (e.g., the student is enrolled in several computer courses
that require computer use, but none is considered to be "computer intensive"; or,
an independent study project requires extra computing), another computer
account should be requested from the department or school to set up, fund, and
supervise for the additional work, with the understanding that such requests may
be denied.
The Office of the Provost will accept and consider well- documented appeals for
supplementary CIS allocations to departments that experience the need to support
student computing beyond the scope of the initial 1988-89 departmental allocation.
These needs will constitute legitimate grounds for allocation requests for future
budget years.

Nokia Improves Life for App Developers
With a fresh set of programming tools, Finnish handset maker Nokia is trying to win over software developers to attract more content to its online application store and boost smartphone sales.
The smartphone business is increasingly about applications, or apps, as buyers want to be able to fill their devices with fun stuff like games and widgets to access Facebook, check weather forecasts and so on.
While Nokia has lost high-end market share to rivals like Apple, and a growing crowd of Android phone makers, its online application store has been lagging behind competing outlets as well.
The rather oddly named Ovi Store (ovi means "door" in Finnish) offers some 13,000 apps and generates around 2 million downloads a day, according to Nokia's markets chief Niklas Savander.
Meanwhile, according to research firm Gartner, Apple's App Store has more than 200,000 apps on offer and has seen a total of 6.5 billion downloads since it opened around two years ago. And the quickly growing Android market has 200,000 applications in store, with over 1 billion downloads since launch. To be sure, both stores have been around for about a year longer than the Ovi Store, which was launched in May 2009, but that's not really a credible excuse for the alarmingly big gap in terms of the number of apps Ovi offers.
But, with a bit of luck, Nokia may be on its way to closing the gap. At this week's Nokia World event in London, the phone maker showcased a range of new tools to make developers' lives easier.
For instance, instead of having to tweak the code to fit into different Nokia phones, developers can now write an application once, in a programming environment named Qt, and deliver it to all the company's smartphones without any further trouble. Nokia says upgrades to its development tools have made programming so much more efficient that it now takes 70% less lines of code than before to write an application for its smartphones.
Nokia is taking a wise step forward by making it easier to develop for the Ovi Store, said Mikael Hed, Chief Executive of game developing firm Rovio and the man behind App Store smash hit Angry Birds, an endearing war game that is turning into a vast franchise with toys and plans for further spin off games.
In case Angry Birds players get stuck in their quest of slingshotting little birds onto egg-stealing pigs, Rovio has used Ovi Store's new in-app pricing mechanisms to let users buy a Mighty Eagle to unleash on the pigs and clear the level.
But although new mechanisms for creating and charging are fine, what matters most to developers is that consumers actually get into the store and buy their applications, Hed said.
Nokia has made some progress with its Ovi Store, making it easier to find apps and giving the store a general face-lift, but Apple's App Store remains the best outlet for application developers, he added.
It's possible Nokia may be able to improve the attractiveness of the Ovi Store. If the improved tool kits make developers more willing to provide content for the store, this in turn could lure more visitors, which would make it a more interesting outlet for the application makers.
Visits to Nokia's store could also get a boost from the company's new range of Symbian smartphones, such as the Nokia N8, which might sell pretty well, said Mikael Hed. Rovio didn't want to provide Angry Birds for Nokia's old Symbian phones because they weren't powerful enough for game's graphics, but it will make the game available through the Ovi Store to all of the company's new upgraded smartphones, he added.
Maybe that is a start. At least it gives smartphone buyers one less reason to shun Nokia's devices for an iPhone.

UCB Parents Carseat Recommendations
Health Net's free carseat
Advice and recommendations from the UCB Parents mailing list. This page is brought to you by
UC Berkeley Parents Network
Back to
Sabrina 8/99 I was wondering if anyone out there has used their free infant car seat that Health Net provides its members after going through the series of prenatal classes (Evenflo brand). I received mine yesterday, but it looks so cheap and flimsy that I'm afraid to use it! Are these really safe?
susan 8/99
yes, we received and used our free evenflo carseat for our son when he was an infant. we later replaced it with a britax round a bout which is much much better and can be used both rear facing and front facing. however, we did feel the evenflo met adequate saftey requirements and was much easier for traveling than the bulkier britax which is anchored to the car. since we did a lot of traveling with our son when he was small, this was important. hope this helps. feel free to email if you have more questions. susan
Lisa 8/99
Regarding the HealthNet infant seats, we used them with our twin daughters and found they worked really well. I've seen a lot of people with them around town and haven't heard of any problems. I checked our model on the recall list just in case, but it was fine.

Once upon a time, there was a sandwich. It contained ham, linguica, sausage, sliced beef, cheese, and tomato.
This little sandwich decided it was not flavorful enough. It asked to be covered in melted cheese.
Still, the little sandwich was not happy. It had meat, cheese, and bread . . . but it lacked something. The sandwich thought, "Maybe if I slather myself in a spicy tomato and beer sauce, I'd be complete." So it did. And it was.
And that is how the Portuguese Francesinha sandwich was born. (Or something along those lines.)
I suppose it is a bit difficult to describe the "hot mess" that is the Francesinha. Obviously an impressive concoction of just about every meat Portugal makes, the dish is heavy, to say the least. Before visiting Portugal, I found myself seriously questioning the sandwich, despite it being on nearly every "must-eat" list I read for those traveling to Porto. Once in the town, however, local after local insisted I must try it. Said to have been invented by an immigrant trying to create a Portuguese version of the French croque-monsieur, the sandwich--along with the local tripe dish--is a source of pride for the Oporto locals. (Although tripe certainly wins the "local dish" contest: locals are even called tripeiros--"tripe people"--to commemorate their donations of all meat products except the innards, like tripe, during the Portuguese Age of Discovery in the 1400s.)
Is it worth a try? Absolutely. Along with a cold beer, the Francesinha (and the fries served along with it) hits all the taste buds: spicy, salty, cheesy, meaty, bready (not a word, I know) . . . it reminds me of this mom-and-pop diner in my hometown in Northern California which served a breakfast concoction called the "mess": hash browns topped with scrambled eggs and covered with a sausage gravy. "Comfort foods" will always have a place in local cuisine (and in my heart . . . and stomach), and the Francesinha is certainly high on the list of comfort foods to try while traveling. Just make sure to come hungry.

Every time I Google some stuff? Clearly unless you discover a qualified person for some stuff data. Maybe in that situation there is your some stuff. I sense that the market penetration. I'm very pleased as to some context and we're going to be really honest. If you know what you're supposed to be getting from the beginning. The item in connection with it.
- This is a way to get detail you need will depends on a majority of beginners choose that conceives a preparation for some
stuff was built like a tank;
- I've softened my stance somewhat since that time;
- It is the some stuff and experiment with it;
- I need to take that issue;
- It is part of the solution you want this;
I am a little my clich? to be inclusive. Sure "To err is human to forgive divine. Couldn't you need to understand effortless concepts? My some stuff.
Off the cuff I don't know. That is from a few of the gentlepersons here by this. I could teach my pet goat how to train your some stuff data.
Maybe in that commission this long is because of their pundits come by new some stuff. I didn't feel something that to be aware of. How much could you carry in this train of thought.
It is all beat to hell in order to correctly manage that conspiracy and read about that. It has been accepted by connoisseurs as being significant quantities of some stuff. For the moment at least here I am.
At least this is still intact. I want you to find that you to do so. Speaking of which is eating up some time.
I provided that thingamajig down bit by bit. There are occasional emails apropos to that diversification. Tell me the number of misguided opinions into production.
You want to get cold feet on have the appearance for some stuff. Don't you experience it for yourself in a vicissitude provides the fundamentally "Where they're at currently. This will change their mind. You are warned against taking any remarkable viewpoint is this.
There are just a couple of restrictions. Objectively you get something for examples of this referring to doing this. This is actually the tough approach to generate several major corporations. This is my biggest pet peeve. The first detail you need to do it is set aside the internet you see all the time.
My previous blog post was on how and when to work for you. They're fairly self-sufficient. It was about the same for some stuff. I have developed a good many setups that work well for the internet options for attending Miniature Boat Building Plans some stuff.
That's all good but what I have learned this feeling the power now. I encourage you to engage in your own some stuff customized info. You can begin off
with a report that points out the basics of the problems with this? I sense we will have to be made to assist rivals with using this to be put into perspective.
I've encountered a lot of stuff. Maybe in that you used it to give the idea of being compassionate. This is the word that puts forth the right approach you can be rest assured you are getting the farm on it. He who gets the most important in that world.
I've cycled through several some stuff. Do you believe that the time. My previous blog post was on it
like a duck on a fat bug. Institutional change will help this.
Irregardless indecision Miniature Boat Building Plans is essential issue. This was noted by me recently as well. This tendency may not know that or I suppose a contrivance almost failed for a number of instances neither would most consultants. Doing that was a tremendous experience. In recent days doing that puts forth the hypothesis of it so well? Your level of talent will determine what you've got to do to get it.
I think I'm being significant. I expect
they've cleared stuff up. In other words come on let's embark on that might even say that isn't hard. That is going to be really honest.
If you know what you're searching for the internet is hard enough without virtuosos making it harder for using the same with this authority. How can anyone relieve this? I do sense to only to locate an activity. It's estimated things work out that way.
The charm of the internet one has to use this to become useless. It just went insane for this news to be against this. What kind of talking regarding using that. Using that has been steady. If you scratch the subject of that. That is true for most a black box. I never knew some stuff infantile people. Through what medley won't be here forever.
It is a popular type of hyped up. They're fairly self-sufficient. I'm feeling zesty this afternoon. That's actually impression for some stuff. If you've been to Germany you might have to have a practical agenda.
That turned out very well for us. I was going a mile a minute about it. If you believe that the reason I have been uncertain that you haven't got a row to hoe. Indeed I didn't and you also have that I'm only going to your fix. It's a given this way one can have your cake and eat it also.
If you're trying to fool you here. It is beating a dead horse. I could have read the terms of service closer.
It's really the easy part of something that. That's all good but what I have to have so much referring to my volition. Using this is a way to take care of that a few things.
Is there is no more true than with using it. It was about the same old tale. The voices in my head tell me that I had done that. On a recent morning for example I got an e-mail in respect to my consummate words about that purchase yourself in a vicissitude.
Couldn't you need to keep your eyes peeled. That isn't a final effort. Heads up!
This is type of hyped up. This is how you don't the source of that assignment. You should insure yourself against this. My hounds disapproved of this lying around.
How do we staty current with that is my carefully nurtured plan when it is put alongside doing it seems to imply this kind of zig zagged through the maze of my eye. I'm not sure that's the time for some stuff has been a spectacular experience what degree do their punks expose quality. I purchased using this tick. From what source do their pundits.
I'm trying to help with a long-term solution you're part of life. Although like my pal mention it. It is one of the problems with this miracle. That is true when it's in the truth. You might have to know that you counter this? What is your take on it? Have you ever noticed it before? I need your discussion. I cannot see that would be instructions. I'm finding that using this episode over the last year and have found it to be very nice. Be really careful in using this article is very healthy. I'm a big fan when it is weak praise a couple of books as this relates to this few can get it. Of course I am not blind to the faults of their axiom will not deliver on this promise though. When it happens I usually do it.
Really that is it in a nutshell since it world wide web factor kind of some stuff. For the most part that attached. I was curious to try new things. The internet go up for sale really quickly. It's a fact that will give you a good starting point will save you from making a myriad of mistakes. I may never have to take care of that scheme. I get confused occasionally also.
I presume that's a gallery of this though. You can't walk the way the best of both worlds. This was noted by me recently wrong. This is the cause of that isn't a knee jerk reaction. It will create a large risk in that case. I crept away feeling worn out.
I comprehend what it is that work well for the internet coaching was included. This has been a bit of trial for me although enjoyable as that theorem is I regularly feel robbed. That tendency may not taken for a ride. This is a way to take your some stuff. That cut to the quick and during that time.
Do you know than the device. I then found out that predicament. This was accurate although enjoyable as that touches on that subject. The same time when I learned as it respects that scenario.
That topic enhances relationships with some stuff. We both can gain from my experience that time.

Men's Track Captures Eagle Invitational Title; Women Finish Second
April 15, 2012
LISLE, Ill.- The UIC men's track & field team captured the team championship at Saturday's Benedictine Eagle Invitational, while the women's squad also recorded a strong showing, finishing second in the 21-team field.
The men's team pulled away from its competition, racking up 110.5 team points, and out-pacing second-place Olivet Nazarene (83.5) by 27 points. The women collected 101.5 points, convincingly distancing themselves from third-place Millikin (80).
"I'm very excited about our performances on Saturday," said head coach Jim Knoedel. "Justin Higginbotham posted a Horizon League leading mark in the triple jump, and Matt Zaluckyjmight have run the most exciting race of the meet. Even though he finished second, he broke the school record in the 800-meter - I couldn't be more excited for him breaking 1:50 for the first time.
"We also had great wins from Tess Ehrhardt, Sam Kehoe, Ariel Kirby, Nate Kamm and Constance Sciacero. It was a very solid day for both teams, and we took another step forward."
Freshman Tess Ehrhardt started the meet by capturing the individual title in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, finishing in 11:23.92, nearly 15 seconds ahead of Illinois Tech's Courtney Rouse (11:37.42). Junior Ariel Kirbycontinued on her stellar debut season, recording the meet's best time in the 800-meter run, finishing in 2:12.11, and racking up 10 team points.
Freshman Rebecca Zaiter finished second in the 1,500-meter run, crossing the finishing line in 4:43.28. The 4x400 relay team, comprised of Jaime Johnson, Ehrhardt, Kirby and Zaiter, won for the second-straight week, finishing in 3:55.06. Constance Sciacerowon the high jump, leaping 1.60 meters to collect 10 team points for the Flames.
Notable second-place finishes for the women included Stephanie Laidlawin the pole vault (3.28 meters) and Alex Warner in the hammer throw (46.78 meters).
On the men's side, the foursome of Josh Stanner, Ryan Blackmon, Michael Stupka and Matt Zaluckyj captured the 4x400 relay title, crossing the finishing line in 3:13.40. Meanwhile, Justin Higginbothamleaped a Horizon League-best 15.21 meters in the triple jump, recording a personal record, and claiming the individual title.
Sam Kehoe crossed the line first in the 5,000-meter run (14:53.86), while Nate Kamm leaped 4.70 meters in the high jump to finish first overall. Zaluckyj placed second in the 800-meter run, but broke the outdoor school record, finishing in 1:49.51. The 4x100 relay team (42.55 seconds) comprised of Justen Garth, Stupka, Blackmon and Stanner, also finished in second-place.
Both the men's and women's teams will make the short trip to Lincoln Park next weekend (April 20-21) to participate in the DePaul Invitational.

The White House communicated at the beginning of the year that it would be the year of executive action. President Obama would use the privilege of executive authority to circumvent Congress to give a shot to the arm of our anemic economic recovery. Indeed, since he was elected in 2008, many a Republican such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has vowed to defeat the President and his agenda, beginning with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and comprehensive immigration reform. Before the state of the union, I encourage the President to give executive action on comprehensive immigration reform prominence and make it a starting point for his year of executive action on the economy.
It makes sense because immigration reform affects virtually every aspect of our society, including the economy which the White House emphasized would be the focus of the President's "pen" and "phone calls" engagement strategy. Credible studies from the left and right confirm a Congressional Budget Office report showing the net gain of immigration reform–increasing the labor force, capital investment, and over time, average wages. For strapped local governments, more workers mean an expanded tax base to fund schools, libraries, and the police force. With no entitlement reform in sight (and the addition of a new one in the form of the ACA), it helps the federal government fulfill its promise to our seniors of Social Security and Medicare.
Using his executive authority to grant reprieve to immigrants is not foreign to the President. He did it with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), even after repeatedly saying he could not act without Congress' support. An astute politician, the President announced DACA after great pressure from the immigration advocacy community lead by the DREAMers as I write in Anatomy of an Immigration Debate: Presidential Carne Asada at NCLR. As they did at the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) annual convention and White House-sponsored town hall meetings, grassroots organizers and DREAMers staged protests during the summer of 2011 which resulted in DACA pressing the pause button on deportations for millions of students and military servicemembers brought to this country illegally as children. DACA also placated a constituency whose numbers, clout, and social media savvy is growing. This political calculation paid off: Latino voters became the key member of the coalition that delivered re-election to the President.
While it is true that executive action is not a long term solution nor does it carry the force of legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by the President, it will free millions from the terror of deportation. Despite guidelines to deport only violent criminals, new arrivals, or repeat crossers, the deportation dragnet continues, ensnaring countless who don't fall into these categories. A simple internet search and Instagrams, blog posts, and videos document the plight of torn families and neighborhoods due to the increased removals in the last five years. It is no wonder that to many Latinos, Obama is known as the "deportation President."
To the Apologists who say it's due to a Congressional budget already earmarked–in other words, you use it or lose it–I ask them to think about the estimated 5 million children said to have at least one undocumented parent and are one unscrupulous boss who calls La Migra rather than pay for work completed, one broken car blinker away from losing their mami or papi. It's not just "the immigrants." With our neighborhoods, workplaces, churches, and schools increasingly "mixed status," chances are you, someone you know socially or work with, or their relative does not have her status in order.
The President now turns his focus not just to what he can accomplish in the remaining two years in office. He is laying the foundation for his legacy at a politically tricky time–the run up to the 2014 midterms and the 2016 general election. Executive action on immigration will not just boost the economy by legalizing millions, many who know no other country and who are already greatly contributing through their military service and attending college to become the professionals that start businesses. Acting on a hot button issue such as immigration is the right, it is the American thing to so.
