SCI News
Second Saturday | September 16, 2008
Saturday the 13th of September was a busy day for SCI local exposure, with Patricia @ the Midtown Community Fest and Edye and I working different booths at the popular Second Saturday Art Walk in the evening. Edye, one of our most active local Board Members, has been working with SMUD and she represented SCI at Green Sacramento on 19th & H Streets; and through collaborations fostered with Heifer International, SCI was able to secure a great spot in front of their office on J Street. While we are always looking for volunteers, they are not always available to staff every event, so this was an active weekend for local staff, Board and our most loyal advocates.
Karyn at SCI's booth during Second Saturday in Heifer International's courtyard.
The See's Candy sign brought em in, and we held em with solar cooked veggie lasagne and chocolate chip pumpkin bread!
Heifer International is located on J St between 22nd & 23rd in downtown Sacramento.
Renee of Heifer Intl educates people on Heifer's mission.
The band was great and attracted a lot of attention to our venue.
The weather was nice and the crowds were steady. Heifer will have one more 2nd Saturday event this season and has invited us back next month :)

The Weekly Standard reported in their May 19 edition Dr. Ben Carson may be shifting toward a 2016 run for president. If so, he could be the most formidable of all Republican candidates against the Hillary Clinton campaign money machine. Not only does Dr. Carson counteract Ms. Clinton's nonsensical "glass ceiling for women" routine, but he's black and he is a real doctor.
Up until recently Dr. Carson claimed to have little interest in running for president. There have been groups formed to encourage his candidacy, but little support from the man himself. His standard retort to such questions was, not unless "called by God." He now claims he's "starting to feel it."
The retired director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital said his thoughts about running for president have been affected recently by the enthusiastic audiences he has received across the country. Ordinary Americans by the thousands have signed petitions requesting Dr. Carson to re-think his non-candidacy status.
Dr. Carson wrote in his latest book, "One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future," that "Over the years, there have been many attempts to get me to throw my hat in the political arena. I have been offered support from around the country and tremendous financial resources if I decide to run for national office. But I have not felt the call to run. If I felt called by God to officially enter the world of politics, I would certainly not hesitate to do so."
He told The Weekly Standard that he's "starting to feel it. Because every place I go, it's unbelievable." Money is the name of this campaign. Ms. Clinton leads the way with her campaign war chest that began long before losing the 2008 Democratic primaries to future President Barack Obama.
To challenge the former secretary of state and senator from New York, the Republican candidate will need substantial funding from sources such as the wealthy Koch brothers, casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson and key Republican organizations. As a career doctor and not a career politician, fundraising is not one of Dr. Carson's professional talents.
He told The Standard the task of running would be "daunting." That is the understatement of 2014.
It will mean media intrusion at every turn, enemies under every rock and a necessary toughening of the doctor's political hide. "I know how vehemently the left will come after you, try to destroy you, try to destroy your family. But at the same time I recognize that people like Nathan Hale, he said, 'My only regret is I have but one life to give to my country.' And if everybody runs for the hills because they're afraid that somebody is going to attack them or their family, then the left will have won."
It appears that the fire is there for such a public sacrifice of privacy for a doctor with no political experience. "As far as my running for public office, that was never my intention. I thought when I retired I was going to play golf and learn how to play an organ. But, obviously, the good Lord had a different plan for me. I will obviously listen, but that is not what I really had intended to do."
This cannot be good news for the Hillary campaign. It will be a lot harder to trash this reputation of this type of candidate. More so than professional politicians such as Gov. Christie or former Gov. Jeb Bush. (See attached video)

Python patrol training
LAKE WORTH, Fla. - Lake Worth resident Debbie Nutt is in the snake pit. She is learning how to protect her family and her pets.
Debbie said, "We live in South Florida and there are so many snakes around, like I said, I have small dogs at home, but I also have a grand-baby, so it's better safe than sorry."
Debbie and about 30 others are learning how to identify and capture invasive snakes at a class at John Prince Park. It's part of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's python patrol training.
"It can be a little intimidating especially if they are moving into Palm Beach County and like I said if you don't know what you are looking at, you would tend to be more terrified than anything especially if you are not comfortable around them," Debbie said.
But Debbie is no longer uncomfortable. "I probably would have started calling people to come tell me I don't tend to overreact, so somebody come look at this thing make sure I am not seeing what I think I'm seeing. But now that I have had the class I think that I would be perfectly fine on my own," she said.

Editorial: Act Now to Stop Strokes
Strokes remain the third leading cause of death and a major cause of disability worldwide (American Heart Association [AHA], 2010a). Every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke; 60% of stroke-related deaths occur in women (Kurth & Boausser, 2009). Traditionally, stroke has been considered a disease of older adults, but this picture appears to be changing. At the February 2010 International Stroke Conference, it was reported that the incidence of stroke in 20–45 year olds has increased since the 1990s, causing speculation that the greater prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes may be key contributing factors (AHA, 2010b). Although we recognize that stroke can be a life-changing and devastating disease, these new data serve as a wake-up call to the public and all healthcare professionals that immediate, tailored actions must be taken.
It is important to recognize that 80% of strokes are preventable (National Stroke Association [NSA], 2010). Given that nursing is primarily a female profession and women have a higher likelihood of death and disability resulting from stroke, nurses are the most likely professional group to take a prominent leadership role in the primary and secondary prevention of strokes and transient ischemic attacks (TIA), a frequent precursor to stroke. What follows are several suggested actions to reduce the occurrence of strokes and TIAs.
Given the increasing incidence of stroke in younger adults, now is the time to reexamine the actions of rehabilitation nurses pertaining to strokes and TIAs.

Pirate did this to me. I had to sell an extra 4 cut MG42 receiver - still have one I/O 4 cut and two 3 cut Angola Armory demilled receivers so really didn't need the fourth one.

Do my long range shooting with a precision .308 bolt gun now anyway but wanted to keep one just to round out the AK collection
Get the Vickers kits while you can. Once semi RSPs hit the market, don't know what will happen to kit price and availability. Pirate did it to me, but I really like this one - IMHO, now that I have my grubby hands on one and get to fondle it I think they are very cool......very cool indeed.

It's National Wear Red Day! A day sponsored by the American Heart Association to raise awareness of heart disease in women and these statistics are astounding! Heart disease is the #1 cause of death of women claiming more lives than all forms of cancer combined. Also, 800,000 women suffer from strokes in the United States each year. But did you know that a poor diet is linked to twenty percent of all cases of heart disease?
It's no secret that what you eat matters when it comes to your health especially as you grow older. Chronic diseases like diabetes are also directly related to what you consume. But the good news is you can turn your health around with what you eat because food truly is medicine.
Here are 7 foods that women should be eating everyday.
Leafy greens like spinach, kale and green vegetables are all rich sources of vitamins and minerals. Incorporate as much green produce into your meals as you can to benefit from all it has to offer. Leafy greens enable you to get and keep a flat tummy, learn more about this here.
Whole grains not only help with digestion, they are also excellent for your heart, keep you regular and enable you to maintain a balanced blood sugar. Eating whole grains each day is also a great source of energy and helps improve cholesterol levels. Learn more about whole grains here.
Nuts of any kind, are a terrific source of protein and also a satisfying snack that will not only keep you slim but will also enable you to live longer. Learn more about nuts here.
Beans combine both the protein and fiber mentioned above, are low in fat, a good source of calcium and a perfect substitution for meat. Beans are considered to be a nutrient powerhouse because they can prevent chronic diseases. Black beans, chick peas, white beans, kidney beans, all deliciously delightful. Learn how to make the best black bean dip here.
Omega-3 fatty acids are talked about constantly when it comes to heart health. While many take fish oil capsules; which are great, eating fatty fish is best. Since most choose salmon as their favorite Omega-3 fish choice, try your best to get the hormone antibiotic free version.
Tomatoes are healthy because they contain the cancer-fighting antioxidant lycopene. They're even healthier when stewed, but eating them raw is fantastic too. Tomatoes are full of vitamins A and C; make them a part of your diet. They also fight cellulite, learn more about this here.
Dairy, low fat preferably, like Greek yogurt. Rule of thumb when it comes to yogurt, never eat it if it has more than 10 grams of sugar. 3 servings of dairy per day is important because calcium is another essential nutrient for bone health, plus it also contains protein, magnesium and zinc.

A celebration like no other in Arizona sports history had just begun.
In the thunder and shouting that shook the big downtown arena in Indianapolis after the final horn, Nos. 31 and 42 acknowledged their faithful fans from the middle of the court.
That is the golden moment that stands out for Jason Terry from the night of March 31, 1997, when the Arizona Wildcats beat Kentucky 84-79 in overtime for the NCAA men's basketball championship.
"When A. J. Bramlett (No. 42) and I stood at half-court, side-by-side, and saluted the UA fans," Terry said, "that's the thing I remember most. People said for four years that we were attached at the hip."
Terry, from Seattle's Franklin High School, was a sophomore guard on the national championship team and was a major contributor to the title.
About to begin his ninth season in the National Basketball Association, Terry will join his good buddy A.J. and there rest of the 1997 Wildcat team for a special ceremony at the Lute Olson All-Star Classic dinner. It will be held Saturday, Aug. 18, in the Grand Ballroom of the Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa, 3800 East Sunrise Drive.
An auction and "Road to the Final Four" buffet will begin at 6 p.m., followed by the tribue to Coach Lute Olson's 1997 champs at 7:30.
Tickets, at $175 per person or $2,000 for a reserved table for 10, are available by calling 520-621-7491.
The funniest, if not most superstitious of the Wildcats, Terry recalled repeating a strange thing he did during the NCAA Tournament ten years ago. "I slept in my uniform the night before the Kansas game," he said. "We won so I did it for the rest of the tournament. . .and the rest is history."
Indeed, it is.
Arizona knocked off three No. 1 seeds -- Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky -- en route to the championship, a feat never that has never been duplicated.
"What made our team so special," Terry said, "was that we were young and fearless. It didn't matter if we were up by ten points or down by ten.
"We played the same way and everyone knew their role, not to mention the fact we had a great coaching staff. The other special quality about our team was that we always had a chance, no matter who we faced, because our toughest opponent was against each other in practice every day."
No one outside McKale Center gave Arizona, a No. 4 seed, much of a chance in the tournament. The Cats had finished fifth in the Pacific-10 Conference and had lost their final two games of the regular season, to California and Stanford on the road.
"We didn't have any special meeting or anything like that," Terry said.
"But Miles (Simon), Mike D (Dickerson), A.J. and myself remembered the tears we had shed after losing to Kansas the year before in the Sweet 16. That kept us motivated for the whole tourney."
Terry, one of the most popular Wildcat players of all time, was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round (No. 10 pick) of the 1999 NBA draft. After five years with the Hawks, he joined the Dallas Mavericks for the 2004-05 season and has been one of the league's biggest stars.
The 6-2, 188 pound guard averaged 16.7 points per game for the Mavs last season.
He will turn 30 on Sept. 15.

Very comprehensive March 31, 2011
This textbook I got from ecampus rental textbooks styles itself as a basic outline of Christian theology that assumes the reader knows nothing and takes him step by step through all major Christian theologies. As a recreational reader who wanted just that sort of basic introduction, I have found this textbook has lived up to its promise while also being easy to read. Subjects are not all covered in depth due to the material the textbook addresses. However, extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter allow the reader to explore each subject further.

College Hockey:Sheahan's two goals give Notre Dame Hall of Fame Game win at Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Notre Dame forward Riley Sheahan had every right to be frustrated.
Having been thwarted twice on glorious scoring chances – once by Minnesota goaltender Kent Patterson and once by the crossbar – Sheahan's persistence finally paid off in the annual U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game.
Sheahan tallied twice in a 3:22 stretch late in the second period and assisted on Jeff Costello's third-period game winner to lift No. 5 Notre Dame (13-6-3, 8-3-3-0 CCHA) to a 4-3 win over No. 3 Minnesota (15-7-1, 11-3-0 WCHA) in front of 10,242 at Mariucci Arena.
Notre Dame leading scorer T.J. Tynan who, like teammate Stephen Johns, was playing his first game back after a stint with Team USA at the World Junior Championship, registered a goal and an assist while defenseman Sean Lorenz chipped in a pair of assists.
The game also marked the return of Minnesota's Nick Bjugstad and Kyle Rau from their time with Team USA.
Irish goaltender Steven Summerhays was outstanding in earning the win with 31 saves. Patterson was very good as well for Minnesota in stopping 26 Notre Dame shots in the loss.
"I'm really proud of the effort the guys put up, I mean, they played a really good hockey game," said Notre Dame coach Jeff Jackson.
"We didn't come out the way we needed to come out and that set the tempo," said Minnesota coach Don Lucia. "We didn't have any pace to our game. We talked about coming out and having a good first 10 minutes, but I thought they dictated play early and were able to seize control of the game.
"I thought we got better at times as the game went on, but we couldn't find the rhythm to our game."
After Patterson robbed him on a first period one-timer, Sheahan might have felt a little snake-bit following his near-miss in the second. With the game tied 1-1, Sheahan stole the puck from Minnesota defenseman Seth Helgeson just inside the Gopher blue line, bore down on Patterson and lifted a backhand shot which rang off the iron behind the Gopher goaltender at 13:38.
But Sheahan received his just reward just 53 seconds later when he one-timed Tynan's feed past Patterson with Minnesota's Seth Ambroz serving a charging penalty.
Shortly thereafter, with the Gophers on a power play of their own, Minnesota's Ben Marshall mishandled the puck at the left point sending Sheahan on a breakaway. The junior fired over Patterson's outstretched glove to put the Irish up 3-1 heading into the final period.
"I get pretty frustrated sometimes because I do get quite a bit of scoring chances and it's just sometimes hard to bury them," said Sheahan. "Once you keep putting the puck on net, you're bound to get a few.
"My linemates were doing a great job setting me up, the bounces were there, and luckily I got to put a few in."
"He's definitely been much better this year in being able to finish and I think a lot of it has to do with his intensity in and around the net," Jackson said of Sheahan. "He's got the skating and the hands, he's got all the tools to be a good offensive player and he's just coming into his own right now as an offensive player.
"He's been a great player for us the last couple years, but now he's pulling his whole game together."
Minnesota had a golden opportunity to take an early lead when Notre Dame's Nick Larson (no relation to Minnesota's Nick Larson) hit Rau from behind just 4:19 into the game. The major penalty sent Larson to the dressing room early and gave the nation's seventh-ranked power play (23.8 percent) five minutes with which to operate.
But the Gophers managed a mere two shots on goal with the man advantage and gave up a pair of shorthanded 2-on-1s to the Irish in the process.
"I think it rallied us, if anything it might have helped us a little bit," said Jackson. "Our guys were focused and they did a great job in that five minutes.
"It was the difference in the game probably."
The lengthy penalty kill did indeed give Notre Dame a huge lift as the Irish outshot Minnesota 11-2 over the period's final half and took the game's first lead.
With Minnesota's Tom Serratore off for holding, Tynan's shot from the left circle hit traffic in front of the Minnesota net, but Larson's clearing attempt ended up right back on Tynan's stick. The Irish's leading scorer made the most of his second attempt firing it past Patterson for a 1-0 Notre Dame lead at 17:54.
Minnesota bounced back to tie it at 9:16 of the second period on a power play in which virtually all of the 1:54 man advantage was spent in the Irish zone. Marshall's shot from just inside the Notre Dame blue line was deflected by Taylor Matson into Summerhays' pads, but two more whacks later the Gopher captain potted his seventh of the season.
Costello's goal at 13:44 of the third off of a faceoff won by Sheahan gave Notre Dame what was thought to be a comfortable cushion, but goals by Bjugstad and Zach Budish 31 seconds apart in the 17th minute of the third drew the Gophers to within one with 2:16 to play.
That's where the rally ended.
Jackson believes his team's recent schedule has prepared them well for a return to conference play, but acknowledges a rough road awaits the Irish in the CCHA.
"Playing [Boston University] and then Minnesota right after [the holiday] break has been challenging, but I would much rather have our guys fully in tune playing high end teams like that than playing meaningless games," said Jackson. "It's going to be a tough second half because the CCHA's as good as I've ever seen it."
Next up for Minnesota is the much-anticipated rematch vs. North Dakota in Grand Forks Jan. 13-14. The Gophers swept the last series between the two in November at Mariucci Arena and UND will attempt to return the favor (7:30 p.m. CST Friday and 7 p.m. Saturday). The Irish return to CCHA action with a home-and-home series with Western Michigan (7:35 p.m. Friday EST at Notre Dame and 7 p.m. Saturday in Kalamazoo).

The literature on games of strategic complementarities (GSC) has focused on pure strategies. I introduce mixed strategies and show that, when strategy spaces are one-dimensional, the complementarities framework extends to mixed strategies ordered by first-order stochastic dominance. In particular, the mixed extension of a GSC is a GSC, the full set of equilibria is a complete lattice and the extremal equilibria (smallest and largest) are in pure strategies. The framework does not extend when strategy spaces are multi-dimensional. I also update learning results for GSC using stochastic fictitious play.

|Alma Mater:
|8 Years
Kelly Inouye-Perez is beginning her 10th season as the Bruins' head coach in 2016 and has an overall record of 398-128 (.757) through nine campaigns.
Last season, the Bruins went 51-12 to post their first back-to-back, 50-win seasons since 2002-2003. UCLA finished second in the Pac-12 Conference (19-5) and advanced to the Women's College World Series for the first time in five seasons. UCLA, which led all NCAA Tournament teams in home runs during the postseason with 17, was tops in the country in 2015 in batting average (.367), second in on base percentage (.467), tied for second in doubles (107), fourth in runs scored (7.92) and slugging (.608) and 11th in homers (89). The Bruins set single-season school records in average, slugging, on base percentage, runs scored, runs batted in and walks.
Four Bruins were named NFCA All-Americans, with Allexis Bennett and Ally Carda earning First Team honors and Stephany LaRosa and Delaney Spaulding being named Second Team. UCLA's four awards were tied for the third-most nationally and the pair of First Team nods were tied for the most. A school-record seven Bruins were named NFCA West All-Region, while seven were honored on the All-Pac-12 teams, including Carda, the back-to-back Player of the Year.
Inouye-Perez and her staff were named the NFCA West Region Coaching Staff of the Year, the second straight season the Bruins earned the honor and third during Inouye-Perez's head coaching tenure (2010). In the classroom, the 2015 Graduation Success Rate was at 100 percent.
In 2014, the Bruins recorded the nation's best winning percentage (.867) with a 52-8 record, the most wins for a UCLA team since 2003. Inouye-Perez picked up her 300th career coaching victory at Hawai'i on Feb. 8. The Bruins finished second in the Pac-12 (19-5) and tied for ninth nationally, reaching the Super Regional round of the NCAA Tournament. UCLA ranked fourth nationally in slugging, ninth in average and homers per game, 13th in runs per game and 18th in earned run average. Carda and LaRosa each earned First Team All-American accolades, with Carda also being named a Top Three finalist for the USA Softball National Player of the Year Award and Pac-12 Player of the Year. Six Bruins were named All-Region and seven were honored on the All-Pac-12 Teams.
The Bruins posted a 40-20 record in 2013, tying for fifth in the Pac-12 with a 10-14 mark and reaching the Regional Championship game of the Louisville Regional. B.B. Bates was named Second Team NFCA All-American, four were honored on the All-Region squad and six earned All-Pac-12 accolades.

Some of the bounty from the garden mentioned in the previous post. (Click for larger view.) It is tasty bounty too. Some quick stir-frying in hot butter with a little garlic, sautéed onions and salt and fresh ground black pepper makes for a very quick and tasty meal… Sometimes some mushrooms… on a bed of freshly made polenta (with parmesan folded into it) if you want to be fancy…
…and so on and so forth. Hard to go wrong.

Husky Baseball Splits Two With MSU
The #8 SCSU baseball team split a pair of home games with #11 MSU-Mankato at Joe Faber field on Saturday. The Huskies dropped game one 5-2 (box) and won game two 11-3 (box).
MSU got off to a hot start against Husky starter Scott Lieser (6-4) in game one. Centerfielder Lucas Skejefte was hit by the first pitch of the game, followed by a Matt Kuchenbecker double down the left-field line to give the Mavs runners on second and third base with no outs.
Patrick Dockendorf cleared the bases with a three run home run to right-center field, giving Minnesota State a lead they would never relent.
Minnesota State starter Harvey Martin ran his record to 7-0 on the season with six strong innings of work. Nick Sutherland worked the seventh for his sixth save of the season.
The Huskies offense broke out in game two, putting up 11 runs on an excellent Mavericks pitching staff. SCSU scored two runs in the first inning, four in the second and five in the third to take an 11-2 lead after three innings.
All nine Huskies in the starting lineup had at least one hit, and five Huskies had a pair of hits in the game.
Logan Birr kept his perfect record intact with 7 and two-thirds innings of work. Birr allowed 14 baserunners but worked his way out of the jams and protected the Huskies massive lead deep into the game.
With the split, the Huskies remain three games behind MSU for first place in the NSIC.
Sunday's games were rained out and scheduled to be made up on Monday, April 16th.

My sister just got married!
Emily and Ian chose to have a small wedding ceremony at our friends' ranch in the Tucson Mountains last week. It was beautiful and fun. To balance the small wedding, they decided to have a huge party at Tucson MOCA. Emily had the brilliant idea of creating an "urban picnic" for the event. They bought sod and laid it out on the floor of MOCA and invited people to bring blankets. It was incredible.
The party was fantastic and I had the honor of building a dress for this special event.I found beautiful old embroidered lace pieces, ribbons and two old dress bottoms at a vintage sale down the street and then Emily and I went searching for a simple slip-like dress to build onto. We found a great silk nightgown at a local vintage shop. I spent hours just looking at all of the pieces, then hours looking at them put together in a way that I thought would work, then I called Emily over to make the call. The pieces before they were combined:
I first matched up the two skirt pieces and created a common waist. Then I attached it to the slip so that it had an empire waist and per Emily's request a sort of trail in the back. Then I hand tacked and basted all of the bodice and then machine stitched the sleeves and the front at the waist. (Unfortunately I neglected to take photos of all the other pieces). The waist was then covered with delicate lace sewn onto satin ribbon. (Quite possibly the most time-consuming, difficult, unrewarding task, I might add. I'm really going to have to work on those skills). All in all it turned out well and the best part was seeing her wear it on such a memorable day. I was a little too busy having fun to document her in the dress, but here are a few shots from the party.
And because I love this photo so much, I have to add it. Also it gives a glimpse of the back of the dress.
The best part about their party was the bike procession from their house. Over 50 people came on bikes in 104 degree weather to escort them to the party. There's a short video that's worth watching here. Emily looked stunning (as always) and especially lovely sitting side-saddle on the back of Ian's Xtracycle.

In an automotive world that utilizes unusual and sometimes un-spellable names, Ford has chosen the simplistic 'Transit' for their new, next-generation full-size commercial van. The Ford Transit will offer two wheelbases, three body lengths, and three different roof heights.
The first Ford Transit rolled off the assembly in at the Kansas City Plant on the last day of April 2014. It was greeted with applause by over 2000 new employees as well as numerous company and governmental officials. Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of the Americas, and Missouri Governor Jay Nixon headed up the celebration. It was announced that this is a $1.1 billion dollar investment that will bring more jobs to the greater Kansas City area.
Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of the Americas, said, "Producing our Built Ford Tough Transit lineup in Kansas City is a big deal for the local community. Our investment in Kansas City Assembly Plant for Transit production is about delivering world-class commercial vans for a new generation of commercial customers."
The Transit is intended to replace the E-Series van by Ford, which was first introduced as the Econoline van back in 1961. Transit is not really a 'new' vehicle because it was introduced in Europe in 1965 and is currently sold in 118 markets around the world.
The high-roof Transit offers 81.5 inches of interior cargo height and sufficient headroom for a 6 foot 8 inch person to stand upright. With a few of the configurations available, the Transit offers as much as 75 percent for cargo room that the largest E-Series van. The standard engine is the 3.7-liter I-5 but Ford's popular 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine will also be available.
The 2015 Ford Transit is expected to begin arriving at dealerships and to fleet customers in the next few months into the summer. Ford Motor Company is promoting this new 2015 Transit commercial van as a 'Game-Changer', but only time can tell results in the automotive industry.

Residents in Butler County took time to honor a fallen soldier with the naming of a soccer field in his memory on Sept. 25.
The soccer field, where Specialist Michael Hayes coached at Butler County High for several years, was officially re-named the Michael Ray Hayes Field.
Hayes' mother and sister were in attendance, as well as the girls' soccer team he coached, before his deployment to Iraq.
His sister said the dedication brings her brother's life full-circle.
"It means everything because I can remember when he came out here and built this field with his bare hands and spent hours doing it. Now with them putting this plaque up, it just means his memory will absolutely never die," said Hayes' sister, Melissa Stewart.
The speakers at the dedication spoke of Hayes' smile and the intense pride he had while serving his country.

•Friday's game marks the 117th meeting of the Ducks and Beavers in the Civil War, the longest-running college football rivalry west of the Rocky Mountains.
•The Ducks hold a 60-46-10 advantage in the all-time series and have a 28-9-1 (.750) mark vs. The Beavers since 1975, including wins in five straight.
•UO is 15-7-1 against OSU at Autzen Stadium and has won the last two meetings in Eugene.
•Oregon's 60 wins over the Beavers are eight more than against any other opponent (Idaho, 52).
•A victory would make the Ducks unbeaten at home (7-0) for the first time since 2010.
•UO is bowl eligible for the ninth straight season and will go to its 21st bowl in 25 seasons, tied for fifth-most of any program in the nation.
•Twenty seniors will be making their final appearance in uniform at Autzen Stadium.
•SO QB Marcus Mariota had his Pac-12 record streak of 353 passes without an interception end last weekend in Arizona. Mariota is still the NCAA career leader in interception percentage (1.2%) among quarterback with at least 600 pass attempts.
•Mariota has passed for at least one touchdown in all 24 games of his career and has a 59-to-8 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
•The Ducks rank second nationally in scrimmage plays of 20+ yards (90), while the Oregon defense is tied for allowing the fewest (27), despite facing the fourth-most plays (890) of any team in the nation.
•Oregon's defense ranks sixth nationally in yards allowed per play at 4.53, which leads the Pac-12 and is better than any SEC team.
Mark Helfrich is in his first season as Oregon's head coach after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2009-12. During that span, he was directly involved in the success of a program that constructed a 46-7 record and appeared in four consecutive BCS bowl games, including the 2011 BCS National Championship game. Helfrich began his coaching career as a graduate assistant with the Ducks in 1997 and has since accumulated seven seasons as an offensive coordinator at two BCS schools and 15 years coaching quarterbacks. He was named Oregon's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on April 30, 2009 following three seasons in the same capacity at the University of Colorado (2006-08), five years as quarterbacks coach at Arizona State (2001-05) which included his final three campaigns in Tempe, Ariz., as passing game coordinator, and three seasons as quarterbacks coach at Boise State (1998-2000). Along the way, Helfrich was named National Quarterbacks Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2012 by FootballScoop, in addition to being one of three finalists as its national offensive coordinator of the year honor. Over the course of his last 13 seasons, Helfrich has played a role with offenses that have ranked among the nation's top-eight teams in scoring offense six times, the top six in rushing on four occasions, the top five in total offense four times as well as the top five in passing twice. As Oregon's OC he helped orchestrate attacks that were responsible for the top three total offense outputs in school history (2010-12) - including a school-record 7,319 yards in 2011 - as well as the only teams to account for more than 600 points in each of the last three seasons. Helfrich is the first native Oregonian to head the university's football program since John Warren in 1942.
Marcus Mariota is in the process of putting back-to-back seasons that rank among the best by a quarterback in Oregon history. The redshirt sophomore from Honolulu has met the challenge of following up a campaign that saw him set the Pac-12 freshman record for touchdown passes (32) and lead the conference in passing efficiency (seventh nationally) en route to Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year and All-Pac-12 first team QB honors. Through 11 games this season, he has totalled 3,127 yards passing and 529 rushing with 36 total touchdowns (27 pass, 9 rush) and just two interceptions. Mariota currently ranks sixth nationally in pass efficiency rating (171.09), seventh in points responsible for per game (19.64), ninth in total offense (332.4 ypg) and 17th in yards per carry (7.15). A one-time Heisman Trophy candidate, Mariota was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award (most outstanding player), the Davey O'Brien Award (national quarterback award) and Walter Camp Award (most outstanding player). He is also on the watch list for the Manning Award (top quarterback honor, including bowl game).
Marcus Mariota continued his streak of touchdown passes in a game with two TD tosses in Oregon's loss at Arizona on Nov. 23. The sophomore has thrown at least one touchdown pass in all 24 games of his career, totaling 59 scores through the air. Mariota, who has 27 touchdown passes this season, has thrown for two or more TDs in a game 17 times with a career-high six touchdown passes at California as a freshman. He also has thrown four or more touchdowns in a game six times. Mariota's 24-game touchdown pass streak is the third longest in the nation behind Fresno State's Derek Carr and Marshall's Rakeem Cato.
Of Oregon's 68 drives resulting in touchdowns this season, 47 (69.1 percent) have lasted two minutes or less. The Ducks' two longest TD drives of the season came against UCLA with their first scoring march lasting 4:00 and last eating up 4:55.
The Ducks are 17-7 against AP top 25 teams since Mark Helfrich's first year on staff as offensive coordinator in 2009, including a win over No. 16 Washington in Seattle on October 12 and a win over No. 12 UCLA on October 26 in Eugene. At home, UO is 11-2 vs. the top 25. Oregon is 4-2 in road games against ranked foes and 2-3 at neutral sites during that span.
With a standing room only crowd of 56,481 at Autzen Stadium on Nov. 16 vs. Utah, the Ducks ran the nation's third-longest sellout streak to 95 consecutive games (cap. 54,000), dating to 1999.
With seven total touchdowns at Colorado Oct. 5, SO QB Marcus Mariota tied the Pac-12 record and set the modern day school mark for total TDs, besting the previous mark which had been accomplished six times, including Mariota's own six-touchdown effort at Cal in 2012. The second-year starter was 16-of-27 passing for 355 yards and five touchdowns against the Buffaloes. He also ran seven times for 43 yards and two scores.
Last season, Oregon did not have a single receiver amass 500 yards. Through 11 games in 2013, the Texas duo of SR WR Josh Huff and SO WR Bralon Addison have each eclipsed the 700-yard mark with Huff grabbing 48 balls for 850 yards and Addison with 53 catches for 798. Both players surpassed 100 yards receiving in back-to-back games at Colorado and Washington, highlighted by Addison's two games of 150-plus and four touchdowns. Ten of Oregon's 11 games this season feature at least one receiving TD by Huff or Addison.
SO RB Byron Marshall needs just five yards on Friday against Oregon State to record the 20th 1,000-yard rushing season by an Oregon running back. Marshall heads into Friday's game with 995 yards and 14 touchdowns on 155 attempts. If he cracks the 1,000-yard plateau it will mark the seventh consecutive season that the Ducks have had a running back rush for more than a thousand yards. Twelve of the previous 19 1,000-yard seasons have come since the 2000 season.
SO QB Marcus Mariota's streak of consecutive pass attempts without an interception was snapped at 353 at Arizona on Nov. 23. That streak, which dated back to last season, is a Pac-12 record, besting USC's Brad Otton, who had a streak of 216 in 1994-95. Kellen Clemens held the former UO mark of 178 in 2004. Mariota's streak started after he threw a pick at the end of the first half vs. Stanford on Nov. 17, 2012.
SR WR Josh Huff, enjoying his best season with 48 receptions for 850 yards and 8 TDs, will exit Autzen Stadium for the final time on Friday as one of the top 10 receivers in Oregon history. The Houston native currently ranks ninth in career catches (130) and yards (2,076), and is tied for sixth with 20 TD receptions.
The Ducks, who had a total of six 100-yard receiving performances over the past two seasons, have posted seven through the first 10 games in 2013. SR WR Josh Huff has four, SO WR Bralon Addison has two and FR TE Johnny Mundt has one. Two players have reached the mark in the same game three times this year, giving UO 16 such single-game duos in school history.
With eight consecutive victories to start his Oregon head coaching career, Mark Helfrich passed C.W. Spears (1930 - 7 wins) for the best first-year start in school history.
Tight end Johnny Mundt made quite a debut catching passes in Oregon's win vs. Tennessee Sept. 14. With expected starter Colt Lyerla out of action, the true freshman made his first start, recorded the first five receptions of his career, including a pair of touchdowns, while amassing 121 yards. That yardage total ranks as the ninth-most in a single game by a tight end at UO and is the highest total since Ed Dickson had 148 yards on 11 catches vs. Cal in 2009. Mundt was named the John Mackey Award's national tight end of the week and is one of two freshmen on the midseason watch list. He is UO's sixth-leading receiver with 14 receptions and 244 yards and has now started five of 11 games.
Oregon's 32-week streak of being top 10 in the BCS standings came to an end on Nov. 24 when the Ducks fell to 12th. With the end of the BCS following the upcoming bowl season, that string will go down historically as the second-longest in the BCS era behind USC's 38 from 2002-06.
SO WR Bralon Addison, who took over as the Ducks' primary punt returner at the end of last season, tied the Oregon and Pac-12 records for punt return touchdowns in a game, bringing back two (75 and 67 yards) in the Sept. 28 win vs. Cal. He joins Cliff Harris as the only other player in school history to duplicate that feat (vs. New Mexico in 2010), while they join USC's Mike Garrett (1965 vs. California) and UCLA's Sam Brown (1954 vs. Stanford) as co-holders of the league record. Addison's punt return total of 142 yards was the most by any Oregon player in one game since Keenon Howry's school-record 186 yards vs. Stanford in 2001. The Missouri City, Texas standout currently ranks eighth in the country in punt returns, averaging 16.0 yards on 18 returns.
The Ducks have scored at least 50 points in six of their 11 games this season. Oregon had a school-record five-game streak to open the season before being "held to just" 45 points in a 21-point win at Washington on October 12. Oregon ranks fourth nationally in scoring averaging 47.7 points per game. UO became the first major program to put up at least 45 points in its first seven games of the season since Harvard in 1887.
JR CB Dior Mathis, also a member of the UO track & field team, put that track speed on display at Virginia Sept. 7, when he intercepted a pass deep in the end zone and ran more than 100 yards before getting knocked out at the UVA 3-yard-line. Officially, the third pick of his career went in the books as a 97-yard return, tying Kenny Wheaton (vs. UW in 1994) and Kenny Bryant (at TCU in 1977) for the second-longest in school history. It was the longest non-touchdown interception return by a Duck.
After being named semifinalists for major awards, SO QB Marcus Mariota, listed as one of 16 for both the Maxwell Award and Davey O'Brien Award, and one of 15 semifinalists for the Walter Camp Award, and JR CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, who made the first cut for both the Jim Thorpe Award and Chuck Bednarik Award, did not make any finalists lists. This marks the first time since the 2009 season that Oregon will not be represented by a single player at ESPN's annual awards show in Orlando.
An often overlooked facet of Oregon's run of success has been the continuity of its coaching staff. First-year head coach Mark Helfrich is in his fifth season on staff, but he is supported by several assistants who have served the last three UO head coaches. Running backs coach Gary Campbell is in his 31st year on the Oregon staff, which is the longest tenure of any Oregon assistant football coach in school history. In addition, offensive line coach and running game coordinator Steve Greatwood enters his 27th season at UO, linebackers coach Don Pellum is in his 21st campaign, while defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti has spent 21 full seasons at Oregon over three separate stints.
The Ducks' current roster features three players who have etched their names on a prestigious rushing list. SO QB Marcus Mariota, JR RB De'Anthony Thomas and SR WR Josh Huff own three of the longest runs in school history. Thomas' 91-yard touchdown run in the 2012 Rose Bowl Game is the second-longest at Oregon, Mariota ranks fifth with his 86-yard score at ASU - the longest rush in the Pac-12 during the 2012 season - and Huff is tied for sixth with an 85-yard TD vs. Arizona in 2010.
After 100-yard rushing performances the first two weeks of the season, SO QB Marcus Mariota became the first Oregon signal caller to accomplish the feat in back-to-back games. Mariota is 17th the nation in average yards per rush (7.15).
The 2013 Oregon Ducks returned 56 letterwinners, including 16 starters - nine on offense and seven on defense - from last season. By contrast, the 2012 squad, which finished the season ranked No. 2 nationally, had 52 returning lettermen and 12 starters, including only five on offense.
With 1,281 yards on the ground through his first 24 games, SO QB Marcus Mariota is closing in on the UO career mark for rushing yards by a quarterback. Jeremiah Masoli has the record with 1,386. Like Mariota, Masoli also attended Honolulu's Saint Louis High School.
1. Jeremiah Masoli (2008-09) 1,386
2. Reggie Ogburn (1979-80) 1,358
3. Marcus Mariota (2012-) 1,281
4. Dennis Dixon (2004-07) 1,208
The Ducks have scored a program-best 645 points in each of the past two seasons, finishing second nationally in 2012 (49.6 points per game) and third in 2011 (46.1). Last year's team set the UO bar for touchdowns with 89, despite playing one less game than the 2011 team, which found the end zone 88 times. This season, Oregon's 73 TDs are tied for the third most in the nation through Nov. 23, while the Ducks' 525 points ranks fourth in the country. UO has at least six TDs in nine of their 11 games this season (9-8-8-8-8-6-9-6-3-6-2).
ESPN College GameDay produced its weekly college football preview show from the University of Oregon on Oct. 26, marking the eighth appearance in Eugene by the immensely popular show which features host Chris Fowler along with analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and David Pollack, and reporters Sam Ponder and Tom Rinaldi. The live broadcast originated from the Memorial Quad on campus. Oregon, which became the first school to host GameDay five consecutive years, has a 6-2 record when the show airs from Eugene, with defeats coming vs. No. 18 Stanford in overtime last season and against No. 6 Cal, 31-24, in 2007. In 2011, the No. 9 Ducks beat No. 18 Arizona State, 41-27. Other home wins in front of GameDay were a 52-31 victory over No. 9 Stanford in 2010 (UO was No. 4), a 47-20 Halloween upset of fourth-ranked USC in '09 (UO was No. 10), a 35-23 win vs. No. 6 Arizona State in '07 (UO was No. 4) and a 29-10 upset of No. 6 UCLA in 2000 (UO was unranked).
Four true freshmen saw action in the season-opener vs. Nicholls: OL Cameron Hunt, TE Johnny Mundt, DE Torrodney Prevot and K Matt Wogan. Joining that quartet in Week 2 was LB Tyrell Robinson and RB Thomas Tyner.
Since 2000, Oregon is 37-6 (.860) in regular season, out-of-conference games, earning notable victories against the likes of Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Michigan (x2). During that stretch, the Ducks are 4-1 against the SEC, 1-0 vs. the ACC, 5-2 vs. the Big Ten, 1-1 vs. the Big 12, 4-0 against the Mountain West, 12-2 vs. the WAC, 2-0 against Conference USA and 7-0 vs. FCS sides.
A staple of Oregon's blur offense in recent years has been "explosion plays" of 25 yards or more from scrimmage. After 11 games, the Ducks have already racked up 61, with 20 resulting in touchdowns. In 2012, Oregon accumulated 46 after an incredible 69 such plays in 2011.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Theme of Love
Love conquers all! Harry's greatest power is not his ability to excel at Defense Against the Dark Arts. His greatest attribute is not his courage. We learn in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that Harry's greatest power lies in his ability to love. Even though he's had a rough childhood, even though he's known suffering, he is still able to love and empathize with those around him. He makes the choice to love and to act out of love at all costs. Love is the antidote to Voldemort's Dark Magic, for his magic does not know love's power.
Questions About Love
- What kinds of love do we find in this story?
- Why does Dumbledore believe love to be powerful?
- What does Voldemort think of love?
- What kind of love has Harry known?

Holy technicolor dream coat, the French Bull Serving Tray ($58) just lit a fire under our hostess desires. Made of rubberwood and melamine materials, this dose of color could kick our caffeine addiction to the curb (at least for a few minutes anyway). Cultivating the zig-zag trend, our next event may have to be carnival themed.

The inauguration of the first African America President Barack Obama on Jan. 20, 2009.
Douglas Graham is a photojournalist by profession. A career newspaper photographer since 1982, he has been in the middle of some of the most important news stories of the past two decades. Graham has been chased by a crackhead trying to steal his cameras, slammed into by a bank robber during a high-speed chase, tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed, spit on by protesters, arrested and shook the hand of the President in the Oval Office—while winning many national and international photography awards along the way.
