Dallas Escobedo
On the Seventh Inning:
"They are all great hitters so I knew that I had to be at my best. I think it was maybe the reps, since they have seen me so much. You can only hide so many different things when they see you about 8 or 9 times in a day. Kind of just sticking with what I know find my corners. They got some great hits on great pitches."
On Facing Sierra Romero and Sierra Lawerence:
"Well I struck out Romero so I wasn't really pitching around her. I just wanted to go right at them. I didn't want to give them free bases or any other opportunities for them to score. Just going right and them. Some got away or weren't called and you can't control that."
On her career at Arizona State:
"We all have our own memories, our own big games that we favor. Every opportunity to step on the field and play in this jersey, not a lot of people get that. It may be just a game but I have been thankful for every game that we have played together and being Sun Devils."
Alix Johnson
On the passion she displayed in the Seventh Inning:
"Before my at-bat it kind of hit me that it could potentially be the last at-bat I ever have at Farrington Stadium. That wasn't the ideal hit I wanted. But I knew with my speed that I could potentially beat any ball in the infield out. I have never done that before in my entire career. My emotions and instincts got the best of me."
On her 4 years at Arizona State:
"All three of us have accomplished so much in our four years here. We are extremely blessed and have been blessed these past four years. We have gained so many great relationships with the teammates we have had come in and out. I couldn't be happier to have gone through this journey with the girls that I have. When it comes down to it, it is bittersweet.
Statement by Head Coach Craig Nicholson
"Obviously a tough day for us. The toughest part is we didn't play bad, we just, you know, we didn't get breaks when we needed to get breaks, I really though we competed hard today. Obviously, I feel terrible mostly for these three sitting right here (Dallas, Alix, Bailey)."
Nicholson on last deep fly ball
"I did, I think it was out, and their Center Fielder made a great play. Again, that's what I am talking about, sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. If that ball is six inches higher we are having a whole different conversation."
Bailey Wigness on time as a Sun Devil
"Obviously we have had a great career here, three trips to the College World Series in four years, with a ring. Not many senior classes can say that they've done that. So Obviously, we've had great careers, it didn't end the way we wanted, but you know we've had a lot of fun, we've grown together as a senior class, we've experienced you know major transitions together, and it's hard right now, but I wouldn't change a thing that happened. We grew, together and we've accomplished a lot, and I will always be very proud of that.
Michigan Quotes
Carol Hutchins opening statement:
"When Taylor hit that ball I thought maybe this is meant to be and that last part of the game I thought well maybe it isn't but it was just a great softball day."
"We just hung tough regardless of what happened in the game and found a way to score more runs than them and ultimately that's the only thing that mattered."
Taylor Hasselbach on talking to Sierra:
"She just told me she believed in me, she knows I can do it, I'm due, and just to see the ball and just keep it simple."
Sierra Lawrence on her performance and at bats:
"I was only thinking to believe in myself, I knew I could do it, my team knew I could do it and there was nothing more to it but to keep it simple and believe in myself."
Haylie Wagner on the last out:
"I trusted her out the entire way and I knew it was a hard hit ball and I knew it was either make or break right there, but once I saw her jump up I knew that she had it and I believed her, I couldn't be more proud of her right now."
Carol Hutchins on ailing players:
"They had to really gut it out, they were very sick"
"Right before the first game we were this close to not putting Romero out there and we were not sure she was going to make it out there."
Taylor on performance and being a senior:
"It's indescribable just because it's a lot of overcoming, it's a lot of courage and this team has a lot of bravery and I think we showed that today."
Carol Hutchins on advice to Haylie:
"You're going to deal with whatever comes your way, hopefully you can do that and that's what great pitchers do, they take the team, put them on their shoulders and say I'll get this for you and I thought she did that tonight."
Haylie Wagner on performance.:
"I knew going out there that I had to go out there and fight."
"I just can't wait to see what this team can do."

Creed Taylor's CTI label is often given the dubious distinction of spawning Smooth Jazz in the 1970s with its sometimes overbearing studio production and excessively lush orchestrations. Regardless, the label signed jazz's brightest stars to its roster and generated some of the finest jazz-funk tracks ever recorded. CTI struck a balance between the creative and the marketable, presenting highly artistic and sophisticated jazz with sexy, slick commercial appeal. Freddie Hubbard, one of CTI's most recorded stars, is at his bluesiest on this earthy, funky cut. The groove is infectious and listeners will find themselves inspired for repeated listenings.

This Week
#2 UCLA vs. San Diego State
Saturday, Nov. 16 - 7 pm
Live Stats - goaztecs.com
The second-ranked UCLA men's soccer team (10-3-4, 5-1-3) will conclude its regular season on the road on Saturday night, squaring off against San Diego State (6-10-2, 2-5-2) at 7 p.m. at the SDSU Sports Deck.
Live Coverage — Fans can follow Saturday's match online through a live stats link at uclabruins.com.
In The Rankings — The Bruins came in at No. 2 in this week's College Soccer News, Soccer America and NSCAA polls and No. 1 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll. UCLA is also ranked No. 1 in the NCAA RPI. San Diego State is unranked in all polls.
A Look at the Pac-12 Race — With one conference match remaining for all teams, the race for the conference crown is tight as three teams are separated by just two points. Washington currently holds the top spot in the Pac-12 with 20 points while California is just one point behind with 19. UCLA is in third with 18 points. Washington can clinch the Pac-12 title with a win at Oregon State on Sunday while the Bruins need to defeat San Diego State on Saturday and have Washington lose to earn the conference championship. With its loss to Stanford last night, California has been eliminated from contention for the Pac-12 title. If UCLA wins and Washington and Oregon State tie it will come down to a tiebreaker. UCLA has won four of the last five Pac-12 titles and a conference-leading eight overall.
Giant Killers — UCLA has defeated four top-3 opponents this season, including two teams that were ranked No. 1 at the time of their matchup with the Bruins. UCLA dispatched top-ranked Indiana, 1-0, on Sept. 1 before defeating third-ranked Cal State Northridge on Sept. 22, with both wins coming on the road. The Bruins then took care of No. 3 Washington at home and No. 1 California by matching scores of 2-1 on Oct. 27 and Nov. 3 respectively. Overall, the Bruins are 4-1-2 against ranked opponents this season.
Scouting the Aztecs — San Diego State enters Saturday's matchup with a record of 6-10-2 on the year. The Aztecs played two non-conference matches over the weekend, falling to Wright State, 3-2, before defeating Grand Canyon, 4-0. Senior forward Jordan Ongaro leads the Aztecs and the Pac-12 with 10 goals and 21 points on the season. Senior midfielder Abraham Villon is second to Ongaro, scoring six goals and notching a team-high seven assists while senior midfielder Kody Duff has recorded 10 points (4 g, 2 a) in 16 matches. In goal, senior Blake Hylen will most likey get the start. He has posted a 1.74 GAA and 49 saves in just over 1,193 minutes of action. Finally, head coach Lev Kirshner is in his 14th season as head coach of the Aztecs.
The Series with San Diego State — The Bruins have a record of 35-4-11 all-time against San Diego State. Last year, UCLA swept both matchups against the Aztecs, winning 4-3 down in San Diego before clinching the Pac-12 title against the Aztecs at home with a 2-1 win. In the first game in San Diego, senior Reed Williams scored twice to lead the Bruins while seniors Joe Sofia and Victor Chavez scored the other two goals. Then in the regular season finale in Los Angeles, the Bruins fell behind 1-0 before getting goals from Ryan Hollingshead and Williams to secure the come-from-behind victory. Back in October, the Bruins once again earned a come-from-behind win over the Aztecs at Drake Stadium, getting goals from freshman Kevin De La Torre and Chavez in the final 15 minutes to earn the win. UCLA is unbeaten in their last 12 matches against the Aztecs, with its last loss to San Diego State coming on Oct. 6, 2007. The Bruins have also won the last seven matches in the series.
Last Time Out — The Bruins were off last week and last played at Stanford and California on Nov. 1 and 3 respectively, earning two big victories over the Bay Area schools. Against the Cardinal, the Bruins went down 1-0 in the 31st minute on a goal by Jordan Morris, but came roaring back with goals from freshmen Gage Zerboni and Nathan Smith to claim a 2-1 victory. Seniors Victor Munoz earned the assist on Zerboni's goal while Chavez picked up the assist on Smith's. Junior keeper Earl Edwards Jr. matched a season-high with seven saves in the match. Then against the Golden Bears, UCLA again won 2-1 behind goals from freshman Kevin De La Torre and junior Leo Stolz. Munoz again earned an assist while De La Torre scored his goal unassisted. With the win over California, UCLA was able to move up to the top of the NCAA RPI and the Top Drawer Soccer poll.
Road Warriors — UCLA has posted a terrific record on the road in the last few seasons, going 19-1-6 in its last 26 road or neutral site matches. The Bruins went unbeaten on the road last season, going 8-0-2, and have a 4-1-3 record in road and neutral site contests this season. Prior to the loss at UC Irvine on Sept. 19, the Bruins had not lost a road or neutral site match since 2011. UCLA is also unbeaten its last 18 Pac-12 road matches dating back to 2010.
Three Bruins Earn Capital One Academic All-District Honors — Seniors Joe Sofia and Reed Williams and sophomore Grady Howe were all selected to the Capital One Academic All-District Team. This is the second year in a row that Williams and Sofia have been named to the All-District team while Howe was selected for the first time. Sofia became UCLA's first ever men's soccer player to earn first-team Capital One Academic All-America honors in 2012 and has captained the Bruins to a 10-3-4 record thus far. Williams has played in all 17 matches in 2013, scoring one goal in 610 minutes while Howe has has played in every single match since his arrival in Westwood (34 matches in total). The Bruins have now landed 12 players all-time on the Capital One Academic All-District Team and have produced seven selections in the last two seasons.
Foreign Influence — Stolz has also done a great job of putting points on the board this season, scoring at least one goal in six of his last 11 matches and recording one point in eight of his last 11. The Munich, Germany native scored the game-winning goal in UCLA's 1-0 win over UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 13 before adding another in the Bruins' 3-2 overtime victory over San Diego on Sept. 15. After being held without a goal at UC Irvine on Sept. 19, Stolz punched in two more in UCLA's win at Cal State Northridge before burying a penalty kick against UC Riverside on Sept. 26 and adding goals at Washington and California. He is currently tied for second in the Pac-12 in points (19) and is fourth in goals (7), all while leading the conference in game-winning goals (4). Last season, Stolz earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors after registering eight assists. Senior Victor Munoz, who hails from Madrid, Spain, has also been an integral part of the Bruins this year, leading the team with eight assists, good for 19th-best nationally and second in the Pac-12. Additionally, he has recorded an assist in four of the five matches.
Joe Sofia Named Senior Class Award Finalist — Senior defender Joe Sofia has been selected as one of 10 finalists for the 2013 Men's Soccer Senior CLASS Award.

He has held the highest GPA among all of UCLA's student-athletes since the spring of 2012 and has made the Director's Honor Roll in every one of his quarters at UCLA (nine times in total). Sofia has been very active in the community as well, developing an anti-bullying curriculum with some fellow student-athletes that will be distributed to local middle schools later this fall. On the field, Sofia has played in 79 matches in his four-year career, starting 77 of them. This season, he has started 16 of UCLA's 17 matches while serving as the team captain and the anchor of the back line. Additionally, Sofia leads the Bruins in minutes with 1,434.

Try Googling Yourself and See What Happens, Says LinkedIn Founder
One of the least recognized aspects of LinkedIn, says founder Reid Hoffman, is the fact that it allows people to help other people. In fact, says Mr. Hoffman, speaking at today's Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford, only two people have ever identified that as one of the key points.
That shows, he says, how far we have to go to understand the implications of living in a networked world.
But helping other people is a way, he says, of helping yourself. It is a sort of digital karma. That's one benefit of a networked world. What goes around, comes around.
Mr. Hoffman is keen to emphasize that LinkedIn is a lot more than just a job site. It actually changes the way you should think about work, about your career and you as a brand.
A lot of what he says is about building you as a brand. "When googling, do you google other people? Of course. Do you google yourself? Not so much. Well you should, because other people will be — and what will they find if they do?" he asked the crowd of would-be entrepreneurs at Oxford's Said Business School.
"There are millions of other people out there. What do you do to put yourself in the right place for people to find you?"
He did reveal why the counting system on LinkedIn goes up to 500 connections then stops. "It was originally 5,000, but who has 5,000 connections. You are not really supposed to have that many. But it became a game, and we had people arguing over the difference between 5,000 and 5,001. So we had to cut it back. I think it works better now."

I am having our first baby in 9 weeks. Over the years we have switched to organic and natural and GMO free food etc. We wont be doing vaccinations with the baby either. So we aren't completely crunchy in all aspects of our lives, but we are still learning :)
I have gotten some books for homeopathic care of children (havent read them yet), so we will try our best to care for child in a more natural way without automatically resort to antibiotics or cough syrup etc.
Any suggestions on what items we should always have on hand (oils or anything like that) especially with new baby coming, that would be useful to have in case of need? Clearly someone not-crunchy would stock up on vicks or some other medicinal crap, but i have no idea what are the 'crunchy staples' to have not just for a child, but a family as well. Thanks for you input!

Dean Kiely: Keep the egos out of West Brom
West Brom coach Dean Kiely wants the club to keep "the egos" out of the Hawthorns as the club prepare for the next chapter in their Premier League story.
The goalkeeper turned coach, who is now the Baggies' longest-serving senior football figure after six years with the club, believes there is no place for 'big-time Charlies'.
And, as head coach Steve Clarke and the backroom staff continue plotting their changes for the summer, Kiely believes the Baggies should keep it that way.
Drawing on his long association with Premier League Charlton, Kiely admitted: "I was at the club when Alan Curbishley stood with three new signings and said 'with these players I am taking us to the next level.'
"But the other players thought 'I'm not sure where that next level is.' "Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say we don't want to get into Europe.
"If that comes our way it will be a really positive experience and something we've got as a result of doing extremely well in the league.
"If we were to change what we had done up to that point and there were loads of egos coming through the door, for me that is a dangerous way.
"I'm sure the gaffer will be making a case and we have our targets. Whether people are available is a different matter.
"But I always make a Charlton analogy because they are so similar, and what this place will not carry is egos.
"You can't do it the way we're doing it and then add a couple of egos who are selfish and try to showcase themselves.
"This isn't that sort of place and I'm glad it isn't. That's why I've been here for so long."

Shoe seller Office admits to hack, customer details plundered
Shoe shop has trod in something
FLIP FLOP FLOGGER Office has alerted its customers to a security breach that impacted it but not its financial information.
The shoe shop is the latest in a line of companies to come forward with such a confession and it is sitting alongside luminaries like Target, eBay and, most recently, Spotify
The firm has emailed customers telling them that, guess what, it is now their time to think of a new password, commit it to memory and never write down.
"Unfortunately we have been the subject of a security breach resulting in unauthorised access to your account. We can confirm that no credit card, debit card, Paypal or bank details were compromised in any way," it said in its email.
The firm said that its legacy accounts created before last summer are affected, and explained that plundered information includes customers' names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and passwords to their Office Shoes accounts.
Office Holdings CEO Brian McCluskey said, "I can confirm that the Office [Shoes] website has been the subject of a security breach. We take such a threat very seriously and have been in communication with our customers to advise them of the matter. We can confirm that no credit card, debit card, Paypal or bank details were compromised in any way. In addition we have reported the matter to the relevant authorities.
"The protection of customer data is of the utmost importance to us and we are treating this extremely seriously. Our customers remain our number one priority and we are taking all necessary measures to ensure that our website remains secure."
The breach and the announcement are reminiscent of the initial response offered by eBay last week. The auction website did not explicitly ask its users to change their passwords, and it does not appear that the loafer outfit is, either. We have asked it to confirm if that is the case.
Ultimately, and in the face of a lot of negative attention, eBay capitulated and told its users to burn all the things and change their passwords. µ

If you have visited Rienzi to see English Taste: The Art of Dining in the Eighteenth Century, you have probably noticed a dish on the table vaguely resembling green beans. Rienzi's docents often receive the question, "what's that?" accompanied by an index finger aimed at the mass of unfamiliar green vegetation.
The answer to the common query is samphire. What, you might ask, is samphire?
Samphire, officially Crithmum maritimum but also known as crest marine, is an edible plant that grows on the rocky coasts of England and Ireland and consumed pickled. The name samphire comes from the English version of "Saint Pierre," the patron saint of fishermen. The crisp plant has a salty, briny taste. The chef who served as inspiration for our exhibition, Mrs. Elizabeth Raffald, gives instruction on how to prepare the dish in her cookbook, The Experienced English Housekeeper:
To pickle Samphire
Wash your samphire very well in sour small beer, then put it into a large brass pan. Dissolve a little bay salt and twice the quantity of common salt, slow fire till it is a fine green. Then drain it through a sieve and put it into jars. Boil as much sugar vinegar or white wine vinegar with a race or two of ginger and a few peppercorns as will cover it. Then pour it hot upon your samphire and tie it well down.
Mrs. Raffald's recipe is served at Rienzi's table of about 1769, but the vegetable has a more extensive history in English cuisine. We know it was eaten in Shakespeare's time – in his tragedy "King Lear," Edgar, the son of Gloucester, notes: "Half-way down, Hangs one that gathers samphire; dreadful trade!" (Act IV, scene VI, lines 14b-15). Shakespeare is referencing the dangerous task of collecting rock samphire from in between high, slippery sea cliffs. Samphire is also found in more accessible sandy areas along the coasts.
One of the foodies from Feast, while visiting English Taste, recalled collecting it as a child in England for consumption. Samphire is still eaten today – according to epicurious.com's Food Dictionary, another version, salicornia, commonly known as "sea pickle" or "marsh samphire" grows on both the United States' Pacific and Atlantic coasts.
If you are interested in learning more about the foods that grace Rienzi's Dining Room table and their modern offspring, join us for Twilight Talk: A Conversation with the Foodies from Feast Restaurant on Thursday, December 1 at 6 pm. For tickets and more information please click here!

It's not about the BFE thing. Perhaps I didn't do a good enough job of making that clear. Western Iowa is more culturally similar to Nebraska. It's not a rural or trashy thing, it's more of an ideological thing.
It's also a joke. Lots of nice towns in western Iowa (in fact, many of those towns are probably in nicer shape), but the Vander Plaats/Steve King crowd is more typical of Nebraska politics than Iowa politics.
I don't want to cave the thread, but those guys probably wouldn't get elected in Central or Eastern Iowa.

Facts and Figures About the UK Animal Medicines Industry
NOAH represents the companies that research, develop, manufacture and market animal medicines in the UK. In the 12 months to March 2009 NOAH's members accounted for £464.8 million of sales, representing around 90% of the UK animal health market (at ex-manufacturers prices, net of all discounts).
Some of the main groups of medicines used to treat and prevent disease in farm and companion animals include:
. Endoparasiticides: these medicines prevent and treat infestations by parasites that invade the body, such as worms, flukes or coccidial protozoa
. Ectoparasiticides: these medicines prevent and treat infestation by parasites that live on the outside of the animal, for example mites, ticks, fleas, flies

If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can "feature" it by choosing the "Spotlight" button.
When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.
If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the contest winnings.
Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work, find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member who shot the image).

I started with flowers. Ever since I was a little girl my parents owned a business. I used to watch all the brides and bridesmaids gowns, flowers, etc. when there were weddings at my folks place. From there, I got into making bridal bouquets, floral arrangements, crocheting and making jewelry, I love doing my crafts!!!

When you are not in class and when you are not studying, what is the one thing that dominates you thoughts? Besides that—money! You are always thinking of what you would do, if you and $1, $5, or $10. In college these denominations are huge. We spend more time thinking what we would do with the money, than thinking of ways to get it.
I created a short list of ways to get money. Some of the items I could have used to earn more money as a student. It is possible to make money without leaving your dorm. I formed A Poet's Expression while in college because I was selected to go to New Orleans for a required internship. At the time, I had been writing poetry for about 8 years leisurely. I gave out most of my framed poems as gifts until I realized, "Hey, I can sell these and fund my trip to New Orleans". Word of mouth was my biggest marketing tool. I earned enough money to fund my trip and for expenses, until I received my first check. I believed in using creativity when it came to making money while in college.
- 1. Blogging
You can also post blogs about a certain theme. There are countless sites that allow you to sign up for free and post your blog. Do a little research and find the site you like the best. This may have been something you thought about, or maybe not. There are different types of blogs. There is the most popular method, video blog.
Daniel Coyle is the New York Times bestselling author of The Little Book of Talent and The Talent Code, in the article 3 Lessons of the YouTube SuperLearners he attempts to answer a puzzling question. How a 9 year old from Holland, learned to sing in English. He writes, "The best part? Amira [Willighagen] has never had a single lesson." He went on to add, "…she learned by watching YouTube videos of great opera singers." For answers to how this is possible, he examines:
The question is, why? Is it better teachers? More nurturing parents? More global competition? More motivated learners?
My answer: all of the above. But one factor might be bigger than all of them: YouTube.
Because YouTube is perfectly aligned with the way the human brain was designed to acquire skill. Namely:
◦1) You stare at someone doing something amazing
◦2) You love it so much that you can't stop thinking about it
◦3) You try it, reaching for a target
◦4) You compare your result to the target
◦5) You reach again. And again. And again. (Repeat.)
With the success of YouTube and publishing yourself, find your niche and I guarantee there is an audience for it.
- 2. Arts/Skills
As I wrote earlier I began writing, framing, and selling poetry. I sold my work to family, friends, and my extended circles. Do you paint? Draw? Write? The world is in dire need of Artists. If you write a song, first mail a copy to yourself in a self-addressed stamped envelope. Do not open it, file it away somewhere safe. Then, send it to a publishing company. If you are a painter, paint on a small canvas and try to sell it online. There are online sites you can take a picture of your work and sell it online, such as Fine Art America. Be creative. Use your skills to achieve what you want.
"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." — Harriet Tubman
I did not mention self-analysis, but here seems to be a good place. In the book How to win friends and influence people, Dale Carnegie mentions the exercise of the president of an important Wall Street bank, who spoke to his *studentry. The individual asked himself 3 simple questions every Saturday night during his alone time.
Step 1: The first question was regarding mistakes. Ask yourself what did you do wrong this week.
Step 2: The second question was about successes and how those success could be improved. Ask yourself what did you do right. How could you have improved what you did right?
Step 3: The third question was lessons learned during the week. These steps are vital steps on the path to improvement and honing your skills. Ask yourself how will you apply what you learned to the next work.
- 3. Photos
With sites such as Flickr, you can take a photo and post is online. Think outside the box. If you are into graphics merge different photos together, creating a masterpiece. You do not have to go and purchase an expensive camera or computer. The computer lab allows you to use the computer and most cell phones have a camera. I believe the creative element is key to snapping the photo that is like no other. See what photos are out there and try to come up with a photo no one else could capture.
The key to getting what you want is as simple as thinking outside the box. Facebook was created because Mr. Zuckerberg thought outside the box, look at it today. Do you know anyone who does not have a Facebook account? There are countless engines to help you achieve and promote your product. Think of ways to bring you dreams, passions, and talents into the 21st Century.
*Studentry – was used in the book The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. & E.B. White
An Inside Day
An original art piece. It is a poem about struggling with society and fitting in. It is about sheltering yourself from others and trying to justify the action.
At First Glance
This is an original art piece. It is about an individual who does not believe in love at first sight, experiencing it. Taken by surprise and realizing how it feels to finally capture a lifelong desire.
Harriet Tubman
An inspiring quote about realizing your dreams.
"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." — Harriet Tubman

Parlament. Milton's preferred spelling throughout the pamphlet.
Custome. Arguments against the power of custom in religious and public affairs were commonplace in Protestant and Puritan polemic of the 16th and 17th centuries. Against Roman Catholic appeals to custom and tradition, Puritans typically insisted upon what they considered plain evidence from scripture.
blindnesse. That is, the blindness allegedly a universal consequence of original sin.
evincing. Convincing; see OED2.
Ezekiel. Milton refers to the vision recorded in Ezekiel 2 and 3. Milton personifies "Custome" as a deceitful instructor, and as feminine.
concoction. Digestion.
accorporat. Incorporate; with the (allegorical) suggestion of carnal intercourse.
Serpentine body. Spenser personifies error in a very similar fashion; see The Faerie Queene 1.1.13-24.
her incompleatnesse. Milton is fond of these little allegories. For another interesting example from DDD, see book 1.
humor. Whimsy, that is, behavior that follows the humors (melancholy, sanguine, bilious, choleric) rather than reason.
Truth. Milton personifies Truth frequently. See the famous example from Areopagitica.
seventh Son. Proverbially, one destined for greatness.
Statute. Found in Deuteronomy 24:1, supposed by all biblical scholars of Milton's day to have been written by Moses.
conveyance. Underhanded or shady dealing.
Iosiahs time. See 2 Kings 22 and 23; and 2 Chronicles 34.
arreed. Advise, warn.
boorded. Attacked, upbraided, rudely approached.
Apostle. The Apostle Paul in Phillippians 1:18.
salted, Churcht, Minerva. Milton, deliberately grotesque, mixes the images of ancient Hebrew purification ritual, Catholic and Church of England "churching" of new mothers, and the birth of Minerva from Jupiter's brain.
by-ends. That is, one's own personal goals masked as civic or social goals. Milton, in fact, was prompted to his concern for divorce, and the authoring of four tracts about it, by the departure of Mary Powell, his first wife. She returned to her father's house only a few weeks after her marriage to John Milton.
brood of Belial. For "children of Belial," see Deuteronomy 13:13, and see also Paradise Lost 1.501-502.
megrim. Migraine.
Assyrian blasphemer. Sennecherib, king of Assyria; see 2 Kings 19:22.
exalted perdition. See 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4.
indulgences. Milton alludes sneeringly to Papal indulgences and dispensations, often granted to wealthy patrons of the church as were marriage anullments. Luther and other reformers made much of such abuses in their initial reformist zeal against the Roman Catholic Church. See Luther's Disputation on Indulgences (1517).
that Egyptian Colony. Milton refers to the Israelites here with a very odd euphemism. Matthew 19:8 and Mark 10:5 cites their "hardness of heart" as the reason for allowing divorce in the first place.
from. In the Rauner library copy from which this edition was prepared, "rom" has been corrected in ink in a fair hand to "from."
binding and loos'ning. Milton borrows this metaphor from Matthew 16:19 and 18:18.
the Gospel. The relevant passages are Matthew 12:1-14, 15:1-20, 23:1-33; Mark 2:23-3:6, 7:1-23; Luke 6:1-11, 11:37-54.
things indifferent. Things not explicitly prohibited or enjoined by scriptural authority. See the discussion in Yale Prose 2.68-69 ( (Search Dartmouth Library Catalogue.).
St. Paul. 1 Corinthians 16:14.
his Master. That is, Jesus. Milton quotes from Romans 13:10, but also alludes to Jesus's summary of the Law in Matthew 22:37-40.
foure great directors. That is, reason, charity, nature, and good example. Milton makes in brief two very important political points here. First, that tyrants may be resisted even though Scripture does not explicitly say so. Second, that no oath, nor any political institution for that matter, has legitimate power and authority contrary to the ends for which it was administered or instituted.
the Confessor. Edward the Confessor (1002-1066), the last of the Saxon kings before the Norman invasion. He was remembered as a model of piety and justice.
quotationists and common placers. Expositors who rely on literal readings of small bits of scripture lifted out of contexts.
dependencies and independencies. Following the disestablishment of bishops, Parliament argued without successful conclusion about the re-organization of the Church in England. The chief opponents were the Presbyterians, favoring a state church overseen by presbyters and laymen elected to sessions and natioanl assemblies, versus the independents who would have no established state church authority, but every congregation independent. "In what Calends" means "when."
out. In the Rauner library copy from which this edition was prepared, the phrase reads "Doubt not to reach out to your steddy hands"; I have removed what appears to be a supernumerary "to."
jot and tittle. In Matthew 5:18 and Luke 16:17, Jesus uses these words to refer to the smallest minutiae of the law.
Masoreth. From a Hebrew word usually understood as meaning "tradition," a masorah or masoreth was a body of notations compiled by rabbis to help preserve what they determined to be the correct form of the Torah. Milton's point is that Jesus is the most authoritative rabbi and commentator on the Torah.
Synagogue of Ezra. The "Great Synagogue," an assembly of 120 teachers and scholars in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (5th C BCE) who desired to se limits and guidelines to interpretation of the Torah. See Nehemiah 8-10.
Galilean School. Tiberias was a city famous as a center for rabbinic scholarship.
English Constantine. Constantine the Great (288-337) was the first Roman emperor to adopt and promote Christianity, mostly for political and military reasons. Milton and many others mistakenly believed he was born in Britain.
Northumbrian Willibrode. Saint Willibrord (657-738), born in Northumbria, went on a mission of evangelism to Germany and established the first bishopric there.
Winifrede of Devon. Also an 8th-century missionary to Germany.
Alcuin and Wicklef. Alcuin (735-804) was born and educated at York; he played a large part in the revival of learning at the court of Charlemagne. John Wycliffe (1320-1384), one of the earliest forerunners of the reformation, translated the New Testament into English and spawned a reformist following in England and abroad.
defenders of Charity. Henry the 8th, before he broke with Rome, was awarded the title, "Defender of the Faith" by Pope Leo X in 1521 largely as a result of his (probably Thomas More's) pamphlet attacking Martin Luther. Henry and all English monarchs since have retained the title.
System or a Medulla. A compendium, abridgement, or "trot."
blown physiognomy. Swollen face.
what their. These two words were improperly joined in the Rauner library copy from which this edition was prepared.
nameles. Indeed, Milton published the first edition of DDD without putting his name to it, or submitting it to the licenser.

Where Have All the Judges Gone? (And When Will We Get More?)
Is someone putting itching powder in their robes?
What else could explain the rate at which federal judges are leaving their posts in 2011?
That's right: So far this year, federal judges have been retiring at a rate of one per week. The departures have driven up vacancies and cranked up the workloads on our nation's federal judiciary. Click here for the story, out Tuesday in the Washington Post.
According to the story, the crisis is most acute along the southwestern border, where immigration and drug cases have boomed. But it's also apparent in central Illinois, where three of the four judgeships remain vacant.
Since Obama took office, federal judicial vacancies have risen steadily as dozens of judges have left without being replaced by the president's nominees. Experts blame a host of factors, including Senate Republicans, the White House itself, and, as the Post writes, "a dysfunctional Senate confirmation system."
That said, Senate Republicans and the White House have committed to working together to move nominations forward. On Monday, the Senate approved Obama nominees for judgeships in Arkansas, Oregon and Texas. Several more nominees are expected to receive votes in the coming weeks.
There are now 101 vacancies among the nation's 857 district and circuit judgeships. At least 15 more vacancies are expected this year, according to the administrative office of the U.S. Courts. When Obama took office in 2009, 54 judgeships were open.

Women's Basketball Falls To Richmond, 55-43, Sunday Afternoon
Feb. 20, 2005
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Richmond (20-5, 11-3 A-10) defeated the University of Massachusetts (13-12, 6-8), 55-43, Sunday afternoon at the Mullins Center. The Spiders took advantage of 11 offensive rebounds and had 17 points off turnovers in the first half as they cruised to the win. Sophomore Tamara Tatham (Brampton, Ontario) led the Minutewomen with 11 points, while freshman Kate Mills (Elkton, Md.) had 10.
The Minutewomen had eight turnovers in the first 10 minutes of the game and found themselves down, 18-8. The Spiders continues to take advantage of UMass miscues and extended its lead to 10 at 20-10 with eight minutes left in the first half. After UMass redshirt junior Katie Nelson (Ellicott City, Md.) hit a three-pointer to cut the deficit to seven, Richmond reeled off six points in a row to take its largest lead of the game at 26-13 with just over five minutes left. That would turn out to be the last time UMass trailed by single-digits. UMass' defense enabled it to stay in the game and Richmond took a 29-15 lead at halftime.
The Minutewomen had 13 turnovers in the first half which turned into 17 Richmond points. Richmond also out-rebounded UMass, 20-12. 11 of the Spiders' boards were offensive which turned into nine points. Both teams shot less than 35 percent from the field in the first half.
In the second half, UMass tried to make runs to cut into the lead but every time it got a couple baskets in a row Richmond would respond. The Minutewomen cut leads of 16 and 17 down to 11 twice but were unable to get it into single-digits.
UMass had just four second half turnovers and shot 45 percent in the half. The Minutewomen shot 39 percent from the field for the game. Richmond came into the game shooting 45 percent from the field which ranked 25th in the country, but was held to 40 percent by the UMass defense. UMass was out-rebounded, 33-25.
Tatham had her 11 points on 4-for-4 shooting. She also had four rebounds. Mills had two blocked shots to go along with her 10 points. Senior Brooke Campbell (Baltimore, Md.) had seven points, five rebounds, four assists and four steals.
Saona Chapman led Richmond with a game-high 15 points. Kate Flavin added 12 points and six rebounds.
The Minutewomen will play their final home of the season Thursday night when they host No. 17/19 Temple at 7:00 PM. The three UMass seniors will be honored in a ceremony prior to the game. For ticket information, please call the Athletic Ticket Office at 1-866-UMASS-TIX or visit the Mullins Center box office.

Q&A With Joe Berman


text:
It may help your wife to know that this statement from the Mass is a rephrasing of what Paul says about the Eucharist: "For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes" (1 Cor. 11:26).
We proclaim his death because it was by his death that we are redeemed. We had better jolly-well proclaim it—and from the rooftops until he comes in his glory!
Christ is not dead; he is risen (1 Cor. 15:12–20)! Jesus is presently alive in heaven along with all who have died in him. The sacrifice we offer at Mass is not a new sacrifice. It is the same sacrifice of Calvary that transcends all time, liberating those who lived before it and those who came after it.

In the Spring of 2015, Michigan may replace the MEAP and MME with computer adaptive assessments created by the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) (See Memorandum from MDE). Mecosta Osceola ISD has already begun to support our districts' transition of curriculum, instruction, and assessment processes to meet these new expectations. This site is meant to provide resources and information to stakeholders so they are better able to understand the standards and prepare for the coming change in assessments.
"These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The standards:
The standards have been developed by teachers across the country and are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world. Michigan is one of 45 states that have adopted the CCSS (see Adoption Map). The State Board of Education adopted the standards shortly after their release in June of 2010.
Until states began adopting the CCSS, each state had a different set of standards for its student population. Some standards were specific while others were broad, some were lax while others were rigorous. The CCSS ensures that regardless of where a student lives, they will be held to a set of standards that were created with the end goal of getting students prepared for success in the workforce and/or in the college setting. Because students are likely to be assessed against these rigorous standards in the Spring of 2015, teachers need to have a good understanding of the what the standards are and the changes and challenges the standards set forth so they can prepare students to reach these high expectations. Today's first grade students will be the first cohort to be assessed entirely against the CCSS.
The ELA and Mathematic CCSS stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding, to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels. Both ELA and Mathematics standards focus students on developing the skills and perseverance to engage in sustained problem solving and research. The biggest content shifts from Michigan's HSCEs and GLCEs take place in English at the elementary level and in Mathematics at the high school level.
Key Advances in English Language Arts CCSS
Key Advances in Mathematics CCSS
"These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business." (CCSS, par.3)
Michigan has joined the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), one of two consortia with grants from the federal government to develop the assessments that states will use to assess students on the Common Core. The first administration of SBAC assessments is scheduled for the spring of 2015 for students in grades 3-11. (see SBAC timeline)
The format of the SBAC assessment will be very different from the traditional multiple choice items found in the MEAP and MME. (see Video) The system will include both formative and summative assessments, and, after a readiness period of two to three years, all assessments will be administered on line. Assessments are being designed to measure the full range of the standards and the full continuum of student performance. The overall assessment system design will include a computer adaptive assessment with a mix of selected-response, constructed response, technology-enhanced items as well as performance-based tasks. The testing window will be the last twelve weeks of the school year. (see SBAC summary) SBAC has a site with released Math and ELA items available for users to preview.
The Common Core State Standards are standards for ALL students. That means that these two groups of students, who in the past have sometimes/ many times been held to a different set of standards, will now be expected to meet the same standards as every other student. In order to be successful meeting these standards, students will most likely need instruction that looks very different than it did in the past. The documents that speak about the standards as they relate to these two groups of students (SWD document , ELL document ) specifically mention the need for teachers to incorporate teaching strategies that help these students succeed in the classroom and use Universal Design for Learning in their lesson planning.
Michigan is a committed member of the Dynamic Learning Maps project that is developing an assessment system in conjunction with both SBAC and PARCC to address the needs of students with significant cognitive disabilities. In order to begin the work of creating assessments that align with the common core principles, the group developed the essential elements , a system of the most essential components of the concepts and skills, drawn from grade specific Common Core expectations.
MOISD staff actively searches out the latest information about the CCSS and the SBAC in order to share that information with its districts. We are involved in a number of ISD consortiums (e.g. Northern Michigan Learning Consortium, General Education Leadership Network, Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators) in order to pool resources and avoid a duplication of work as the state moves toward getting students focussed on career and college readiness. These consortiums have produced resources for teachers to use with their students, including:

Men's Hoops Hosts Cleveland State on Comcast SportsNet Chicago Thursday
Jan. 26, 2011
Follow on Gametracker Watch on the HLN Listen Online (ESPN Radio 1000)
Cleveland State Basketball Horizon League Basketball Flame Throwers
» Senior guard Robo Kreps passed the 1,400 career-point plateau with a game-high 19 tallies against Loyola, and enters Thursday's contest with 199 career three-pointers. He is just one trey away from becoming the fifth player in program history to compile at least 200 career three-pointers.
» Senior forward Paul Carter posted his eighth double-double of the season at Loyola (1/22/11), scoring 10 points and pulling down 11 rebounds.
» UIC is the top-ranked offensive rebounding team in the Horizon League, averaging nearly 14 offensive boards (13.5) per game. The Flames also rank third in the conference in rebounding margin (+3.9) during Horizon League play.
» Cleveland State posted a wire-to-wire 83-59 win over the Flames at the Wolstein Center on New Year's Day. Robo Kreps scored a team-high 21 points and Paul Carter recorded a double-double (11 points, 10 rebounds), but CSU's Trevon Harmon (24 points), Norris Cole (21) and Jeremy Montgomery (13) combined for 58 points, and the Vikings shot 53.6 percent in the second half, after being limited to a 38.9 percent effort in the opening 20 minutes.
The Penguins posted a 71-69 win over the Flames at the Beeghly Center on Dec. 30, but have dropped six-straight Horizon League decisions since. Youngstown State is scheduled to play at Loyola Thursday night at 7 p.m.
Moore joined the Badgers staff in 2005 and helped lead them to the NCAA Tournament in each of his five seasons in Madison. The team advanced past the first round of the Big Dance in each of the last four seasons and produced a memorable Sweet 16 run in 2008.
With Moore on the bench, Wisconsin posted three of the top-five winningest seasons in school history, including an historic 2007-08 campaign that saw the Badgers win a school-record 31 games en route to Big Ten regular season and tournament championships. Under Ryan's tutelage Moore established himself as one of the top recruiters in the Big Ten by utilizing the Chicagoland area as a main pipeline for talent.
Cleveland State: Gary Waters, who also served head coaching stints at Rutgers and Kent State, is in his fourth season as the mentor at Cleveland State.
Waters has led the Vikings to back-to-back postseason appearances, including an NIT invitation in 2008 and the school's second NCAA bid in 2009. That stretch has included consecutive 20-win campaigns for the first time since the 1980s. He led the Golden Flashes to a 92-60 record in five seasons from 1996-2001, and at Rutgers, Waters' Scarlet Knights advanced to three NIT's.
Senior guard Robo Kreps is leading the Flames offensively, scoring 15.3 points per game -- he has also dished out a team-high 64 assists in his first full season running the point. Minnesota transfer, senior forward Paul Carter is averaging 14.5 points per game, while also leading the Flames in rebounding with 8.3 caroms per contest, second-best in the Horizon League. Kreps currently ranks seventh in the conference in scoring, while Carter is ninth.
In Horizon League play, Carter ranks ninth in the conference in scoring (14.6 ppg) and second in rebounding, at 8.6 caroms per game. He is averaging 6.3 defensive rebounds per contest in UIC's eight Horizon League games.
UIC is averaging 62.7 points per game, and allowing its opponents to score 69.1 points per contest. In Horizon League play, UIC leads the conference in offensive rebounds (13.5 rpg), while ranking third in overall rebounding margin (+3.9).
In home games, the Flames are limiting their opponents to just 63.6 points per contest, and convincingly out-rebounding the opposition, 39.7-29.4 rpg.
Senior guard Norris Cole, a preseason All-Horizon League First-Team honoree, leads the conference in scoring (20.1 ppg), assists (5.1 apg) and steals per game (2.4). Junior guard Trevor Harmon is averaging 13.9 points per contest, while Chicago native Jeremy Montgomery has added 11.1 points per game.
Junior forward Aaron Pogue is averaging a team-high 6.1 rebounds per game, while shooting a team-best 51 percent (.508) from the floor. He has combined with sophomore forward Charlie Woods to produce 35 blocked shots.
In Horizon League play, Cleveland State leads the conference in scoring margin (+9.4) and free throw percentage (.755), while ranking second in both defensive field goal percentage (.396) and three-point field goal percentage (.388).
Carter scored 11 points and corralled 10 rebounds, while Kreps scored a team-high 21 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists. Cleveland State was paced by Trevon Harmon (24 points), Horizon League leading scorer Norris Cole (21) and Jeremy Montgomery (13), who combined for 58 of the Vikings' 83 points.
The Vikings tallied 15 steals, and convincingly out-scored UIC in the paint (38-18), off turnovers (21-5) and through the fast break (10-0). The Flames edged CSU on the boards, 35-34. The Vikings shot 53.6 percent in the second half, after being limited to a 38.9 percent effort in the opening 20 minutes.
The series began in the 1981-82 campaign, with Cleveland State winning both regular season meetings by a combined seven points. The Flames then rolled off five-straight wins, and also defeated the Vikings seven-consecutive times from 1996-99.
Carter served as Minnesota's Sixth Man the past two seasons, helping the Golden Gophers reach a pair of NCAA Tournaments.
Carter transferred to UIC with one year of eligibility remaining to be near his sister, Bria, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, last winter. Since Carter joined the Flames, Bria has completed chemotherapy, received a temporary prosthetic leg after amputation, and started her high school career at King High School in Chicago this semester.
Carter comes from a strong sports family. Ron Carter, Paul's father, was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in 1978, and his older brother, Ron III, was an All-American triple jumper at California State-Long Beach.

The ghost ship filled with cannibal rats is taking the social networks by storm as some people are dismissing this as an "urban myth." There is a ghost ship and there is a chance that the rats on board have turned on each other for food, creating a ship full of cannibal rats, according to The Journal IE on Jan. 24.
While the headlines state that the ghost ship is headed for England, others believe it is on a course to hit Ireland's shores.
So how did this ghost ship get its start?
Thee Lyubov Orlova, a Russian ship named after a Russian actress, is a passenger cruise ship. This 4,000 ton ship took tourist around the Canadian Arctic. For two years, disputes over unpaid bills rendered the ship sitting idle in St. John's Harbor in Canada. Last year it was decided that the ship would be towed away and used for scrap.
Canadian officials were towing the ship when the tow rope snapped and set the ship adrift on its own. Because it was too dangerous to tow in the North Atlantic with the high seas, the Canadian government fitted the ship with a GPS tracking system and set it free.
Where is the ship headed?
The tracking system malfunctioned and now all there is are witness sightings of the Lyubov Orlova. The last time the ship was spotted, it was about 1,300 nautical miles off the coast of Ireland.
Weather and ocean current experts offered their best estimates on where this ship is headed. They believe that the storms and currents are pushing the ghost ship toward Britain's shores.
Now others are saying it is most likely the Emerald Isle that will see the ghost ship grace their shores.
What about those cannibal rats?
After two years afloat and any food sources that the rats could access probably gone, it is believed the rats started to eat one another. Rats multiply quickly, so this could be an on-going cycle. While some say this cannibal rat scenario is a myth, there's actually research that supports this. A research paper back in 1968 offered proof that some rats have been known to turn into cannibal rats.
The paper written by Dr. W. Lane Petter was presented to the Royal Society of Medicine states that researchers observed in a laboratory setting that:
"The malnutrition in laboratory rats and mice can lead grown rats to devour carcasses, and even to attack and kill the young in order to eat them."
Petter also writes that cannibalism can develop as a "vice." He continued with:
"Whisker eating in mice is not uncommon; it can go on to ear or toe chewing, and from there to total cannibalism."
The existence of cannibal rats was also suggested by the New Scientist in 2008 when they noted that "rats in cleaner cages are more likely to cannibalize their young."
This ghost ship was a passenger ship with luxuries and amenities for the folks who once boarded her to cruise the Canadian Arctic. That would include food and when a ship with a moderate amount of food pulls into any port, there's always a chance of rats boarding the vessel. There's a good chance that rats have hitched a ride with the ghost ship long before it became a vacant vessel.
Besides the slight chance of a shipping accident or the ship getting grounded on rocks, the ship doesn't pose an exorbitant amount of danger. No country would want the possibility of cannibal rats unloading on their shores, so if the ghost ship appears near a country's shoreline, they might want to tow it back out to sea.
Since that sighting off the shores of Ireland, the ship hasn't been spotted. There is a possibility that the North Atlantic storms took the ship to the depths of the ocean. Others say they believe the ship is intact and it's just a matter of time before the ghost ship starts haunting the shores of Ireland or England.
