Hop on Pop
by Dr. Seuss
One Word Two Words This Word That Word
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Words are everywhere. They're so intertwined with human existence that we usually don't stop to consider that they are, in fact, symbols. For the beginner reader though, the idea that words are letter combinations designed to illicit certain sounds and in turn symbolize particular objects or images can be a daunting thing to wrap one's head around. That's where Hop on Pop comes in.
Seuss's poem uses illustrations in connection with big, bolded words to show that when you say a word you put an image (read: symbol) into the mind of the listener or reader. Take, for example, that wily pup and his humongous cup:
Pup in cup. (2.1-3)
When you read the words "PUP" and "CUP," you bring to the listener's mind the image of a pup and cup. When you add the word "in," you combine the images together as evident by the illustration showing—what else?—a pup in a cup http://pupsincups.tumblr.com/.
Again, for those of us who've been through the rigors and trials of the 5th grade and up, this might not seem like a revelation, but to the beginner reader who's developing her mind for language acquisition, it must be something else to make this connection.
But Seuss takes it one step further in the next stanza:
Cup on pup. (3.1-3)
By changing exactly one letter in the sentence, Seuss shows the child reader that the image, the symbol, of the word has changed entirely. Now the cup is on the pup like a giant tortoise shell. Every word, nay, every letter of every word is important when dealing with language if you want your listener to achieve the proper symbol in their mind's eye.
And so the book continues, adding more and more words in tandem with more and more illustrations. Each time, the nature of the word as a symbol grows in the child's ever-expanding mind.
By the way, if you want to get all intellectual about it and impress your friends at those fancy wine and cheese parties, the study of signs is called semiotics. In semiotics, the word is known as the "signifier" and the image or object it represents is called the "signified." Together they create what linguists call the "sign."
If you really want to impress, namedrop Ferdinand de Saussure here and there (he's the linguist who developed the model). But keep it at the wine and cheese parties, please; the kids will have enough to learn without throwing semiotics at them.

Lawmakers press Obama team on asylum for Sudanese mom sentenced to death
Lawmakers are pressing the Obama administration to grant asylum to a pregnant Sudanese woman who has been sentenced to death for her Christian faith.
Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, whose Christian husband holds American citizenship, has been held in a Sudanese prison along with her 20-month old son for more than three months. Last week, in a decision that drew international condemnation, a judge in Khartoum sentenced her to death by hanging once she gives birth and nurses her child for two years, because she would not renounce her Christianity.

A 43-year-old man has been accused of stealing irrigation pipe from a farm in southeast Nebraska.
Authorities say Todd Fritzen was arrested on suspicion of felony theft. A Jefferson County jailer said Fritzen remained in custody on Monday.
Online court records don't list the name of Fritzen's attorney.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says a farmer near Diller reported that several lengths of irrigation pipe had been stolen Friday.
The office says a Fairbury salvage yard worker reported later in the day that Fritzen had sold the yard 11 pieces of pipe.

England has produced several firstrate textbooks of immunology, and some have even reached the status of classics. Most noteworthy, however, is that the different groups writing these texts have successfully avoided overlapping their respective, welldefined audiences. As stated by the editors, this book is specifically aimed at a frequently overlooked audience: the physician active in other fields, too busy to stay informed in areas, such as immunology, that infiltrate virtually all aspects of modern medicine in a most pervasive fashion.
It is a common experience that after a stimulating conference on immunology delivered to such an audience, somebody invariably comes up with the legitimate question: "Where can I read about all this?" The answer is not easy: a book too simple will certainly alienate the solicitant; a book too specialized (there are many of these), conversely, will probably not be read beyond the initial pages. Holborow and Reeves' book seems

Getting Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua to speak on pressing national issues came with its obstacles. KEHINDE OYETIMI however got the founder and senior prophet of the Synagogue Church of All Nations to speak. Excerpts:
THE nature of insecurity in Nigeria is bothering everyone. Many people have given various pieces of advice concerning this issue. Will Boko Haram not end in Nigeria?
We are fighting flesh and blood and not the spirit being that causes stealing, killing and destruction. It is until we begin to fight that spirit being that causes killing, stealing and destruction, the battle will not end. Our neighbours are not our enemies. Remember that our neighbours can be our friends; our neighbours can be our enemies; our neighbours can be those who do not share the same faith with us. It is never the will of anyone to kill themselves because of anything unless there is the spirit to kill at work.
You prophesied that from February 27 to April, 2011 there would be serious challenges that would threaten the April 2011 election. You called on the President to intervene in the political crisis in Oyo state because the governor would not be able to represent him in winning the election in the state. You said the president should look beyond PDP for success in his election, that his personality would win the election.
You said the PDP would lose in Ekiti and Osun. You said God showed you that a group would attack people in the Northern part of the country, before and after Christmas in 2010. You predicted the bomb blasts in Abuja, barracks and other states. These prophecies which you gave in September, 2010 to those in authority have all come to pass. You also stated that prayers could avert them. You predicted the Dana plane crash which was published in February this year. How do you see these visions?
Romans 10 verse 9 states that "he that believes has eternal life." By this statement, the believing means possessing. The instant that you believe, you have whatever you ask that is in accordance to the will of God. The instant that you believe that thing that is according to God's will, it is yours. The instant you believe, you become a possessor of the father's nature. It you confess with your mouth, if you believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead, in this way, there is a level of confession and believing. It is deep, deeper, deepest.
Everyone that believes has power to prophesy. The belief in our heart is released by faith. The belief to see visions is released by faith out of our mouth.
For many years people have argued that you have no biological child. But now, we hear your daughter graduated in Law from the London School of Economics with second class upper division. What do you have to say?
What do you want me to say?Is she your biological daughter?
(Cuts in) She is my daughter. In fact she is my first daughter. She is my biological child. Those of you who say I have no child, we are yet to hear from your children.
There are so many pastors with big churches that have their children being involved in running the affairs of those places. Don't you want your daughter to be involved in church activities? After her graduation, what is her next line of action?
Due to her excellent performance, she was given admission to study for her masters in International Law in New York University; she also got admission into LSE ( London School of Economics) and also to UCLA and other universities in Colombia for her masters.
You went to Jerusalem many years ago. After you returned, there have been miracles taking place in your church. What happened to you there?
I have been in the field of God's work before that trip. I only went there to see where my father, Jesus Christ went, the things he touched.
What are the next events that would happen in Nigeria?
You want me to book an appointment with God. I will do so. Come next time; I will tell you.

Definition of toe-out in English:
A slight forward divergence of a pair of wheels so that they are closer together behind than in front.
Example sentences
- For example, steer axle toe-out will cause excessive wear on the inside of both tires while toe-in will cause wear on the outside shoulders of the tires.
- The position of the steering gear was lowered and the linkage was shortened to give good linear toe-control and minimal toe-out, improving stability.
- In heavier cars a bit of rear toe-out can induce a bit more oversteer to help the car rotate.

* Arrange Marriage*
Very common in Indian society.In arrange marriage mentalities of both families matche perfectly as both families pick each other like a woman chooses dress from shop.In many cases both families know each other from years that will establish ultimate connection between both families.which may not happen so rapidly in case of Love marriage.However the important thing in arrange marriage is "SACRIFICE" both groom and bride know that He/She has to some things let go from their "Mr/Mrs. Perfect wish lists".So arrange marriage is good option for a person who believe in family values and social customs.
*Love Marriage*
starting from Krishna and radha to Romeo and Juliet every love story convinces us that every man falls in love.But this is not about just falling in love but getting married with loved one and face day today problems with him/her.
The concept of Love marriage is very logical.A person wants to live a life with someone so the first authority of choosing partner falls on his shoulder.family should advice in choosing partner not Force.However Love marriages are not common in Indian society.The reason may be indian parents don't allow their children to fall in love.It is misunderstanding that every love marriage faces tragic end.If Love is powerful it can last for eternity.love marriage can be successful and best decision of life.the best thing would be parents should let their child to find a partner and parents should Arrange the marriage.Combination of both concepts.A Perfect Middle Path
As I said earlier combination of Love and arrange marriage would be awesome.Parents should allow their children to marry their loved ones then both generation would be happy.Because Marriage should bring happiness not Burden.:)

The Good Samaritan Hospital
at Fourth and Walnut Streets was founded on June 11, 1889 by the Guild of St.
Katharine of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Today, The Good Samaritan Hospital is a modern,
fully-equipped, fully-accredited 169-bed acute care facility that offers
complete inpatient and outpatient care, an inpatient rehabilitation program and

not-for-profit community hospital governed by a board of trustees composed of
business and community leaders. Now into its second century of service, The
Good Samaritan Hospital's commitment to the community is the same as the day it was chartered: "To

The Hyman S. Caplan Pavilion of The Good Samaritan Hospital at
Fourth and Willow streets, originally the Lebanon Sanatorium and formerly known
as the Lebanon Valley General Hospital, was founded in 1904 by Dr. Andrew

facility from 1917 until 1979 when it was acquired by a Florida for-profit
hospital chain.

SMU (SIS) and Symantec inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) last month to equip students with the latest knowledge and skillsets in information security. SMU Vice Provost (Research) and Dean of the School of Information Systems, Professor Steven Miller commented that the IT industries, including IT security, were not static and always changing. He felt that the schools should play a bigger role in providing students with the ability to adapt to industry changes as well as the principles to guide their future experiences. Professor Miller also highlighted that while Singapore had been proactive in cybersecurity education, the local IT security industry still faces challenges in finding people with the right skills. Under the MoU with Symantec, Professor Miller said that the SMU School of Information Systems will work on core projects around mobility and data, to help students keep up with the latest IT trends and potential security issues.

Arthritis Health Center
FDA Panel Members: All Arthritis Drugs Suspect
"I think that there is a signal [of risk] probably for all of these drugs. There may be different mechanisms, but each of these drugs is suspect," said Steven Abramson, MD, a professor of rheumatology at the New York University School of Medicine and another committee member.
FDA officials also told experts that a one-year study of patients taking Prexige showed that they had a 44% greater risk of probable heart attacks, strokes, or death than patients who took the widely used anti-inflammatory drug naproxen. The FDA rejected Novartis' bid to market the drug in the fall of 2003.
Arcoxia, which is stalled at the FDA because of Cox-2 safety concerns, appeared to show a "trend" toward raised heart and stroke risk, said FDA safety officer Joel Schiffenbauer, MD.
Cox-2 drugs and related anti-inflammatory drugs all fell under suspicion last fall when data emerged showing that Vioxx roughly doubled the risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients who took it. Several other studies have come to light, some showing increased risks with related drugs and others suggesting no safety concerns.
Millions of patients have come to rely on Cox-2 drugs for arthritis pain, and many doctors favor their use because they cause less stomach bleeding than older drugs like ibuprofen.
FDA regulators convened the three-day inquiry in an effort to find a path toward deciding if a risk of heart attack and stroke applies to a wide group of pain drugs and if so, whether the danger justifies the benefits of Cox-2 and related drugs.
Several arthritis patients and doctors attended an open session urging experts to be cautious before recommending tight restrictions or a ban on Cox-2 use.
"I feel like Celebrex was created for me. Most days I feel better than I did 30 years ago," said Judy Fogel, anpatient from Ithaca, N.Y.
Betsy Chaney, another Celebrex user, told panelists that she wanted to keep the right to use the drug despite possible heart dangers. "I'm willing, for my quality of life, to take those risks," she said.

Denver (AP) Bill Ritter, Denver's former District Attorney and the only Democratic candidate for governor, says he raised almost $300,000 for his campaign in the three months that ended on September 30th. That brings Ritter's total in his bid to replace Republican Governor Bill Owens to $460,000.
Two Republicans, former State Technology Secretary Marc Holtzman and Congressman Bob Beauprez also are in the race. They haven't released their campaign finance records yet.
Democrat Ed Perlmutter, who is running to replace Beauprez in the Seventh Congressional District, raised about $105,000 during the same period, bringing his total to $317,000.
Former Democratic State Representative Peggy Lamm hasn't
announced her fundraising numbers for that race.

Part 2 of 10 – Christmas Bible Study on the 10 'S' Names of Jesus in the OT:
Jesus the 'Star' Old Testament bible verses
Download file: Word, Pdf
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
Most of us are familiar with that little children's rhyme. My two year-old certainly loves singing it at the present. Most of us probably are not familiar with the rest of the rhyme.
"In the dark blue sky so deep,
Through my curtains often peep,
For you never close your eyes,
Til the morning sun does rise,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!"
Most of us adults still 'wonder' at the stars, don't we?
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
For thousands of years, people have been pulling back the curtains to peep at the stars … to watch them twinkle, to watch them move, to watch them and wonder.
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
And what a 'wonder' they are. At first glance, stars seem insignificant. Tiny. Way out of reach from our world. Yet, as our glance turns to a gaze, stars become much more significant. They are indeed massive. Great balls of fire and energy that put out an amazing amount of heat and light. And, it is only because of their great size and energy that we can see them at all on our tiny, little world.
Stars are no small matter, no insignificant thing.
They are big. They are beautiful. They are bright, and for thousands of years they have entertained us, guided us, and helped us track time. As we continue our Merry Christmas Bible Study, the 10 S's Names of Jesus in the Old Testament. We turn our attention to the Star of the Bible.
According to the Bible …
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
Jesus is the Christmas 'Star'! He is the Star that shines until the Sun rises.
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
Most of us are familiar with another song that's sung throughout this season.
"We three kings of Orient are ,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light."
This song comes from the Christmas story found in the New Testament Gospel of Matthew, approximately two years after Jesus was born.
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
Matthew 2:1-2,9-11
"Now after JESUS was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,
behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying,
'Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?
For we have seen His STAR in the East and have come to worship Him',
and behold, the Star which they had seen in the East went before them,
till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
When they saw the Star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
And when they had come into the house,
they saw the young Child with Mary His mother,
and fell down and worshiped Him.
And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him:
gold, frankincense, and myrrh."
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
But, the Story of the Star began long before Jesus' birth.
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
The Wise Men from the East had 'seen' His Star before it ever appeared on the horizon. They had 'seen' the Star 'shining' on the pages of the Old Testament before it ever shone in the skies above. Way back in the Book of Numbers, a prophet named Balaam was 'seeing stars' … actually, he found himself seeing a vision from God about A STAR. He recorded the vision with these words:
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
Numbers 24:16-17,19
"The utterance of him who hears the words of God,
and has the knowledge of the Most High,
who sees the vision of the Almighty, with eyes wide open:
'I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near;
a STAR shall come out of Jacob; a Scepter shall rise out of Israel …
Out of Jacob One shall have dominion …"
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
God told Balaam thousands of years ago that a 'Star' would shine. A Star out of Jacob (Judea, Bethlehem). So, it was no surprise to the Wise Men to see a BRIGHT NEW STAR shining in the East on that first Christmas morn'. They knew exactly what it meant. They knew the reason it shone with 'royal beauty' and 'perfect light'. That STAR foretold in Numbers had entertained their mind for years.
For years, they had peeped from behind the curtains looking for that distant 'Star'. And now, the time had arrived. The 'Star of Wonder' shined and guided them on their way, right to place where Jesus lay.
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
Jesus is that Bright and Morning 'Star'.
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
God promised long ago that He would send a Star … a Star to shine on us … a Star to show us the way … and a Star to signal God's time on earth. It is this 'Star' that led the Wise Men to Him, and it is this same 'Star' that will lead us to Him if we too are wise. Come and worship the 'Star'!
You no longer have to wonder … or even wander in the 'night'.
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
Revelation 22:16
"I, JESUS, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches.
I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."
Jesus the star old testament bible verses
Jesus is here to shine in the deep blue dark of night until the Sun rises.
A Star is for night, and the Sun is for day.
Jesus the 'Star'! and one day, perhaps one day very, very soon,
He will be our 'Sun'.

Jane Burns is focused on finding the cause of Kawasaki Disease
Kawasaki Disease is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children, yet its cause remains unknown. It's a mystery Jane Burns has dedicated more than two decades to help solve. Burns is the director of the Kawasaki Disease Research Center at UCSD/Rady Children's Hospital where she leads a multidisciplinary team that cares for about 80 new Kawasaki disease patients each year and follows more than 1,200 families in the clinic.
Her husband, Dr. John B. Gordon, is an interventional cardiologist who cares for adults with long-term after-effects of Kawasaki Disease (KD). Together, the couple and a team from UCSD have launched The Adult KD Collaborative, an epidemiologic and clinical study of cardiovascular biomarkers and functional studies in adults who suffered from KD in childhood.
Burns, who is also a mother of two daughters, earned her M.D. degree at the University of North Carolina and completed her pediatric residency and chief residency at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver.
In 1983, Burns went to Harvard Medical School and the Boston Children's Hospital for additional training in pediatric infectious diseases and molecular virology. She joined the faculty at Harvard in 1986 and in 1990 moved to San Diego and joined the faculty at the University of California, where she was appointed Chief of the Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology in 2000.
What brought you to La Jolla?
My husband was recruited to join the San Diego Cardiac Center and I was the tag-along spouse. I am a native Californian and I was eager to move back to California to raise my children. We were living in Boston at the time with two small children so we took turns flying out. John came back from his recruiting trip and said that he wanted to move to San Diego for this job more than anything else in the world. So, I flew out to San Diego by myself and had five days to find a house and a job. I found both and the rest is history. That was in 1989.
What makes this town special to you?
I grew up in San Francisco on Union Street and, as a child, I could walk down to the shops and say hello to people that I knew. The village in La Jolla has the same small town feel. The views of the ocean are spectacular. Swimming at the Cove followed by breakfast at The Cottage. It doesn't get any better than that!
If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the area?
I would make the four tall buildings disappear that were built before the Coastal Commission was created. They are a blight on our beautiful views. Thank goodness zoning protected us from the developers!
What inspires you?
I'm inspired by medical mysteries and sick children. I have devoted my career to trying to solve the mystery of Kawasaki Disease. Every year we diagnose and treat about 100 new cases here in San Diego. We just celebrated the 50th anniversary of Dr. Kawasaki's discovery of the disease and yet the cause remains a mystery. You can visit our website at
to learn more.
If you hosted a dinner party for 8, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?
I would invite my parents and their parents. My parents died when I was in my 30s and I never took the opportunity to really talk to them about their lives and ask the questions that an adult child wants to know. How amazing it would be to sit there with two generations and to get insights into how I came to be the person that I am. Genetics are powerful!
Tell us what you are reading.
I am working on a grant to fund my research and I am reading about how a master molecule in the body called "transforming growth factor beta" signals cells to behave as they do. My work is my passion and it's exciting to read about the inner workings of cells. Probably wouldn't be most people's first choice, but I'm enjoying it!
What is your most prized possession?
I don't really prize possessions. I am a people person. My family and friends and colleagues all over the world, that's what is important to me.
What do you do for fun?
I have lots of energy so tennis, swimming at the Cove, walking the dog with friends — all great outlets. I also love to travel and I speak four languages. I love diving into a new culture and soaking up everything I can about a world different from my own.
What is your greatest accomplishment?
Despite my passion for my work, raising two wonderful children definitely tops the list of greatest accomplishments. Outside of my family, I am proud of creating the Kawasaki Disease Research Center at UCSD and creating an environment where researchers and students can bring their creative talents to bear on solving aspects of the Kawasaki Disease mystery.
What is your philosophy of life?
The way you change the world is by one person at a time. I spend my life touching other people's lives through healing my patients and, hopefully, inspiring my students. I think one person can make the world a better place, one person at a time.

2006 Palmaz Vineyards Johannisberg Riesling – Palmaz web site
(USA, California, Napa Valley)
Soft and buttery wine with citrus, nice fruit base and strong golden pear. A touch spicy, just enough tannins and a well rounded riesling. I enjoyed this wine and it was refreshing and could be a nice tasting wine. Went great with a strong cheese. Give this a shot because it's very enjoyable.

Grown Folks Music by DJ Flip Uno
|So the other week, my friend Los and I were talking about our favorite breaks. It was unfortunate that I could not find all my tracks on my iPod. It is even more unfortunate that last Friday, some petty thief broke my car window and stole my iPod along with some other goods, but this is besides the point.After talking about original classics, I decided to head back to my battle station to organize my favorite oldies-but-goodies joints in the iTunes collection, then went one step further and put together a 20 minute mix, which I labeled, Grown Folks Music.

BURLESON COUNTY, Texas Farmers and ranchers in the Brazos River Valley are keeping a close watch on the weather after the recent rain.
A lot of them are celebrating the rain but as News 3 discovered, it's also hurting the fall cotton crop.
It's a soggy stroll around Don Beavers' Burleson County Ranch on the outskirts of Snook.
He raises longhorns and Arabian horses.
"With the land here being relatively flat and high clay content it doesn't run off or get absorbed real fast. While we always welcome rain, too much at one time gets to be a bit of mud challenge," he said.
He's measured more than four and a half inches of rain in the last few weeks and more than half of an inch while we were there.
"We're about two inches behind normal out here you know and other areas they are catching up or pretty close to normal. But basically we'll take all we can get," he added.
While the rain is almost always a welcome site the timing is terrible for those who haven't harvested their cotton crop yet.
"Just this past rain we had 4.7 inches," said Jason Wendler, who farms in Burleson and Brazos Counties.
While he and most farmers have already harvested their cotton, those who have it still on the ground here will take a hit.
"Number one on the yield that it will be producing the seed quality coming out of the cotton as well as the quality of the lint will take a big hit," Wendler said.
"Now that I'm living it, it's even more, there's more of an understanding of those challenges that farmers throughout history have faced with weather," said Don Beavers.
Hoping for more rains, just spread out more consistently.
Farmer Jason Wendler tells us wet cotton still on the ground could now be worth anywhere from 20 to 50 percent less in value.
He added that it shouldn't be a total loss for farmers who waited to harvest their cotton crop.

"We jumped on them early with a couple of runs and swung the bats well in the first inning," Chaffee coach Aaron Horrell said. "I think we had three hits and then we kind of fell asleep for a couple innings.
"In the fifth the kids went up there and swung at strikes. They took the walks, got timely hits and we got some runs in."
After taking a 2-0 lead into the top of the fifth, the Squids saw four straight hits score the Bulls' (0-2) first run of the game while leaving the bases loaded with one out.
With Blake Hagedorn at the plate, Missouri tied the game on passed ball at the plate before a bases loaded walk to Grant Dix gave the Bulls a 3-2 advantage.
Able to come away with two straight strikeouts to force Missouri to strand the bases, however, Chaffee (4-0) went to work in the bottom of the inning with Cody Payne tying the game on a blooper over the second baseman's head to score Alex Crowe from third.
Two batters later, pinch hitter Cody Johnson brought home what ended up being the game-winning run on a line drive to center, scoring Payne from third to go up 4-3.
By the end of the frame the Squid went up 8-3 with Andrew Dooley capping the drive scoring the final two runs on a single to deep center field.
Besides his big hit at the plate, Dooley also picked up the win after coming in with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth. He went on to strikeout two straight batters to end the inning after walking in two runs to start his appearance. In 2 2/3 innings he held the Bulls hitless while walking four and striking out five.
"Andrew hasn't thrown as much as normally does here lately so I wanted to get him some work," Horrell said of the decision to put Dooley on the mound. "I told him I just want you throwing strikes and we have a really good defense behind you.
"Especially once we got that five-run lead I said just let the defense work for you. No free passes. He threw the ball hard today and I was really impressed."
Leading Chaffee's eight hit performance at the plate was Trevor Cannon who reached base all four trips to the plate coming up with three singles and getting hit by a pitch. Payne contributed two hits to the Squids' cause while Alex Crowe had a double.
With two singles on the contest, Josh Stevens led the Bulls' four hit performance while Josh Jansen and Cody Wills each had a single.
"We hit into two or three line drive double plays," Missouri's coach Matt Wagner said. "There's not much you can do there when they get six to eight free outs a game on hard hit balls.
"Defensively we had a few walks on the mound that hurt us in (the fifth) inning that kind of blew up on us. But we were competitive and we were in there."
Later Friday night the Squids pulled out the second game of the double-header, 9-8, with Connor Scott picking up the win. Daniel Dooley had two hits in the contest and scored two runs.

The resources shared here can help nonprofit organizations use performance measurement to continuously improve and increase their impact. Featured Research and Insights How Hands On Atlanta Uses a Dashboard to Track Progress and Reach Its Goals A dashboard can help nonprofit leadership teams focus on the metrics that matter most to meeting their organizational goals. In this article, Bridgespan Manager Beth Jackson Stram talks with Gina Simpson, president and CEO of Hands On Atlanta, about how Gina's organization created its dashboard and the benefits it provides. The What Works Marketplace: Helping Leaders Use Evidence to Make Smarter Choices To better understand what it takes for leaders to use evidence in making critical decisions, Results for America, in consultation with The Pew-MacArthur Results First Initiative (Results First), commissioned The Bridgespan Group to study the "market" for evidence on effectiveness—specifically, what is the current state of the market? What can be done to strengthen it? And who must lead it? Geek Cities: How Smarter Use of Data and Evidence Can Improve Lives A growing number of American cities are using data and evidence of what services are working well to improve service delivery and residents' quality of life. This report highlights efforts in six US cities plus London to harness data analysis to spend public and philanthropic dollars more wisely—all innovations worthy of broader adoption. What Does It Take to Implement Evidence-Based Practices? A Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program Shows the Way It's not enough to identify what works—we also have to identify how it works so that other organizations can replicate the implementation of the program and get similar results. The federally funded Teen Pregnancy Prevention program shows promise as a model for how to support the implementation of evidence-based programs. Building Capacity to Measure and Manage Performance Nonprofits that want to have more impact in the world also need the capacity to use measurement to improve their performance. Interviews with a wide range of nonprofit leaders and our own work with Bridgespan clients suggest five key elements to measurement success. Measurement as Learning: What Nonprofit CEOs, Board Members, and Philanthropists Need to Know to Keep Improving Measurement has become an increasingly hot topic as more funders want to know how their money is being used and as nonprofits undertake evaluations to prove that their programs work. But one of the most important uses of measurement is to improve performance, or performance measurement. Growing Network Impact For decades, the primary pressure facing nonprofit networks was to build a bigger footprint—be in more places, serve more people. Now that pressure is being equaled by another: to get better. This executive summary outlines five critical elements for network improvement. Featured Case Studies Our Piece of the Pie: From Data to Decision-Making Data should be a source of strategic value for nonprofit managers. Too often, though, it provides incomplete or misleading information, as was was the situation at Our Piece of the Pie (OPP), a Hartford, Connecticut-based youth-serving organization. Here's how its leaders tackled the challenge. Ten Thousand Strong This case study from Business Strategy Review shares five key lessons from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women initiative to create an effective performance measurement approach and shows why signature philanthropic initiatives should build measurement into their programs from Day 1. Portland Public Schools: From Data and Decisions to Implementation and Results on Dropout Prevention Many school district leaders in urban areas struggle to reduce dropout rates but find themselves overwhelmed by the problem. There are, however, a few districts making notable progress towards reducing their number of dropouts, including Portland, Oregon, Public Schools (PPS). This case study shares strategies for addressing dropout rates. Great Valley Center: A Case Study in Measuring for Mission Great Valley Center worked to develop a system that would allow them to assess performance and share results easily with key stakeholders. The process of putting measures into place helped them clarify their strategy and also tested the logic that linked each of their programs to the results they hoped to deliver.

When you leave your house you must carry sufficient money to support yourself for the time being so that you can settle well.
Moving around
You must carry a map of the city you are living in, a chart of bus route and emergency telephone numbers for moving around in the city.
Settling your family
If they have travelled along with you then you need to look for a school for your dependent children. You must be aware that since you have arrived as a PR, you can avail most of the facilities pertaining to health care.

LSU holds off late rally to beat UL-Monroe 61-54
Published: Saturday, December 14, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 14, 2013 at 11:02 p.m.
BATON ROUGE — LSU looked like a team that had been off for nearly two weeks in its game against Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday.
However, there was one player who seemed not to miss a beat. Jordan Mickey scored a season-high 25 points as the Tigers knocked off the Warhawks 61-54.
Mickey, who was 9-of-13 from the field, also grabbed nine rebounds and blocked five shots. The remaining LSU players made just 14 field goals combined. Only one other LSU player had more than six points, and just one other Tigers player had more than five rebounds.
"I just wanted to be able to come in and play my role," Mickey said. "I wasn't trying to come in and be the leading scorer in the game. I just wanted to help my team win. We knew we wouldn't be as sharp as we had been. But, we know we have to come out and play hard every night."
Stringer was the only other LSU player to score in double figures as he had ten points. Shavon Coleman was second to Mickey in rebounds with six. Johnny O'Bryant, who was averaging a double-double on the season, finished with just four points and five rebounds.
"Our guys did a good job of coming out and getting after it in the second half," LSU coach Johnny Jones said. "We had some lapses after getting up by 18 points. We didn't do a great job of closing out the game, but it was a good win for us."
Marvin Williams was the leading scorer for the Warhawks (3-2) with 14 points. Tylor Ongwae added 12 points, while Amos Olatayo had 11 UL-Monroe shot just 36 percent (20-of-56) from the field. The Warhawks' 54 points were a season-low.
After giving up an early eight-point lead, LSU (6-2) used an 8-0 run to take a 31-26 advantage into halftime. Two 3-pointers by Stringer and three field goals by Mickey propelled the Tigers to a 12-4 lead.
UL-Monroe battled back and went ahead 22-20 on a 3-pointer by Daniel Grieves with seven minutes remaining in the first half. LSU then answered with four consecutive baskets in less than two minutes. Malik Morgan made two field goals, while Johnny O'Bryant and Mickey each had one.
Only three points were scored during the last 4½ minutes before halftime - a field goal by the Warhawks' Kyle Koszuta and a free throw by Mickey. UL-Monroe scored four points in the last seven minutes, while the Tigers had one point in the last 4½ minutes.
LSU quickly took control of the game in the second half. The Tigers outscored the Warhawks 15-4 in the first five minutes after halftime. Mickey had two field goals and a pair of foul shots, while Jarell Martin knocked down a 3-pointer. A basket by Stringer capped the run, which put LSU on top 46-30.
"We did some good things against a very talented basketball team for certain minutes of the game," UL-Monroe coach Keith Richard said. "The first five minutes of the second half weren't very good. To have a chance to win on the road, you can't come out of halftime and have that kind of lapse."
UL-Monroe, which trailed by as many as 19 points in the second half, held the Tigers scoreless over the last 4½ minutes. The Warhawks scored the final 11 points of the game to shave their deficit to seven points.

Receptionists are responsible for a variety of tasks in a small office environment, from answering mail and filing paperwork to performing data entry and greeting visitors. One of the primary duties, however, is to screen callers and guests before connecting them to other parties in the office. This gatekeeper role helps protect executives from being inundated with sales calls or unscheduled visitors that have the potential to disrupt their work day.
Know Who's Who
While it may take a little time to come up to speed, one of the most important responsibilities of a receptionist gatekeeper is to quickly become familiar with who to let through the gate, and who to turn away. With a little experience, you'll be able to differentiate between the boss' wife and the annoying sales rep. Being able to pair a name and face of a valued client will be well received, especially in a small business where customers expect personal service.
Reflect Company Policy
Always work within your company's directives on how your boss wants you to handle calls, emails and visitors. He may ask that you connect all unexpected calls directly to voicemail, or he may prefer that you check with him via intercom before putting a call through. Visitors may be welcomed or may require an appointment. Follow business guidelines on how to handle your gatekeeping responsibilities while still presenting a professional image of the company. Always ask who is calling, what the matter is regarding, and whether the call is expected.
Be Diligent
Gatekeeping isn't just about protecting your boss from time-killing phone calls and appointments, it's also about verifying who is calling or visiting to ensure they represent no threat to the company. While large corporations often employ security guards, cameras, and metal detecting and screening devices, that's not a practical approach for most small businesses. Your job as gatekeeper is to verify a person's identity and intent, and to then base your decisions regarding access on that information.
Take Detailed Messages
As a receptionist gatekeeper, you're responsible for taking and delivering detailed messages for the people you represent. This is especially vital if you have a strict screening process for the calls you do and don't put through. You may also be asked to facilitate email gatekeeping as well. This involves reading through general mailbox letters and responding to them or forwarding them to the appropriate employees.
