The California farm town of Salinas welcomed John Steinbeck into the world on February 27, 1902, but the welcome eventually wore out. From an early age, his schoolteacher mother imparted a love of learning and language. From his bankrupt father, Steinbeck acquired a hypersensitivity to social nuances, a profound empathy for the underprivileged, and a strong work ethic that rarely left him. After receiving his diploma from Salinas High in 1919, he alternated work as a field hand with sporadic attendance at Stanford University.
His fourth novel, Tortilla Flat (1935), made his name as a writer. Then, drawing on his strengths—deep regard for his native California and empathy for his fellow hard workers—Steinbeck spent years researching and a miraculous five months writing The Grapes of Wrath. Published in 1939, it won him both the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and decades of enmity from his hometown, where he was viewed as a traitor to his (middle) class.
In a span of three months between 1939–1940, critically and commercially successful films of both The Grapes of Wrath and the short novel Of Mice and Men came out. During World War II, The New York Herald Tribune signed him on as a war correspondent and he filed dispatches from England and the Mediterranean.
After the war, Steinbeck left California for New York and cast around for a subject that would engage him as fully as The Grapes of Wrath had. He divided his attention among science writing, journalism, screenplays, and shorter novels. Finally, in 1952, following the collapse of his second marriage and the sudden death of his beloved friend, marine biologist Ed "Doc" Ricketts, Steinbeck wrote his way imaginatively back to California for East of Eden, among his strongest and most enduring novels.
The 1962 memoir Travels with Charley freshened and deepened Steinbeck's already wide readership. The highest honors were given to him: the Nobel Prize for literature in 1962, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964, and appointment to the National Council on the Arts in 1966.
Steinbeck died in New York City in 1968 and was buried with little fanfare in Salinas. Today, the handsome National Steinbeck Center anchors Salinas's downtown revival, complete with research library and a museum featuring the original camper truck from Travels with Charley. Migrants still pick most of the fruit in California's Central Valley, but they come from Central America instead of Oklahoma, and agriculture has a new partner driving the region's economy: literary tourism.

Rockin' Green was designed for different water types, so it's important to find the right formula for your area. Below you will find a picture of the US with suggested formulas for each area. If you are unsure of your water type you can contact your local pool or aquarium supply store to get your water professionaly tested. Most of the time it's free and they will be able to give you a water hardness #. Rockin' Green generally recommended: <60 ppm should use soft rock <250 ppm should use classic rock And anything more than that should use hard rock If you have questions about your particular area, please submit a question to their support team and they would be happy to help! Are scents ok for diapers? They like yummy smelling detergent (do you blame them?) so they found a way to make 100% natural scents that rinse away! It's cool. All you smell is clean, not funk! How Much Rockin' Green Do I Use Per Wash Load? When it comes to dosage, there are many variables that need to be considered and it may take a little bit of trial and error to find the right dosage for your situation. Here are a few things that you may need to adjust your dosage for: A very large or very small load Soft or hard water Soil level They recommend that you start with 1 tbs for a frontloader/HE machine and 2 tbs for a toploader. Many customers use more or less than this amount, so use this as a STARTING point for your own wash routines Pay close attention to the end result. If you notice excessive staining, smells, ammonia or irritation please adjust accordingly until you get the desired result. Your final rinse should be bubble free and crystal clear, if you notice bubbles or cloudiness continue to rinse until you have a clean rinse cycle. What Scents Do You Have? Rockin' Green not only kicks butt in the washroom, but it smells AMAZING! It comes in several different scents, so there is always something new to try. So the only hard part is deciding which one to try first! Smashing Watermelons- this juicy watermelon blend is like a kick to your senses..Best Seller! Earth, Wind & Orchids- this scent is flowered with inviting hints of tartness, floral, woods, honeysuckles and sugar. *NEW* Rage against the Raspberry- this raspberry and honey blend will have you running around the laundry room looking for the mosh pit! Best Seller! Mötley Cleän - there's clean and then there's Mötley Cleän. This fresh blend has hints of ocean, fresh linen, and sunshine. Lavender Mint Revival- this medley of lavender and mint is like nothing you have heard or smelled before! Bare Naked Babies- because we love the smell of babies, they offer an unscented variety too! What is Rockin' Green Made Of? Rockin' Green is made of safe, phosphate free ingredients which makes it good for the planet and gentler on your little ones. Everything is made with love, and put to the test every single day on my own families diapers and laundry. So you know that I expect only the best from everything that I send out the door. Ingredients: sodium carbonate , sodium percarbonate, natural chelating agents, sodium sulfate, biodegradable surfactants, natural fragrance oils (if scented is chosen) Why 3 different formulas? Rockin' Green comes in several different formulas- so there is something for everyone! Soft - this formula is designed for those that have sensitive little ones or soft water. Classic - this is the original formula, and is great for those with moderate hard water, or just those that are battling with stinkies. Comes in unscented and scented varieties. Hard - This formula is designed for the most troubling of water types. All Rockin' Green formulas are designed with the same great ingredients, and work for all water types. Most people do great with the Classic formula, so when in doubt start off with that formula. What formula do I use if I have a water softener?"I have really hard water, and a water softener- what formula do I use?" This is a question that they hear often here at Rockin' Green. And in 95% of the cases, the answer is soft rock. When your water softener was set up, the installation tech first determined the actual hardness of the water coming into your home, and then set the water softener accordingly. The goal of most purification systems is to have a level of zero for water hardness. So this means that even though you started off with hard water, the end result is soft in nature. Washing in soft water will offer up a different set of challenges, the main one having to do with dosage. They recommend starting with half the recommended amount of soft rock, and then adjusting based on your results. You want to find the right amount of soap to get the job done, but rinse out completely. Note: If you begin to notice hard water marks on dishes or sinks, it may be time to call your service rep and have them check out your water softener to make sure that it is working properly. Note: If you have a softener, but still love the RNG scents, you can use classic rock. Start off with ¼ of the dosage, and then build up from there making sure that everything is rinsed out.

Naya Rivera deletes Twitter account
Naya Rivera seems to have said goodbye to Twitter. The singer and "Glee" star's page was no where to be found on the social site Monday.
It's unclear if Naya gave followers any notice about her departure, but many seem to be surprised by her suddenly missing account. Naya is still active on her Instagram page however, posting a photo from New York where she's directing a PSA for Immigrant Heritage Month.
Her deleted Twitter comes after a rocky few months in the press. Naya's engagement to rapper Big Sean ended back in April, and she was also rumored to be butting heads with "Glee" co-star Lea Michele.

Obama's Torture State
Four Things You Need to Know About Barack Obama and U.S. Torture & Detention
May 27, 2009
1. Barack Obama did NOT end torture.
Many people think that, upon taking office, Barack Obama ended torture. This is just not true. Under Obama, the U.S has continued to torture prisoners at Guantanamo, where more than 200 detainees are still being held without charge or trial.
According to a February 2009 report by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), Guantanamo guards routinely subject detainees to vicious beatings, solitary confinement, sleep deprivation, suffocation, repeated use of tear gas, and the force-feeding of tubes through the nasal passages of hunger strikers. Much of this torture is committed by Guantanamo's Immediate Reaction Force (IRF) teams, which CCR president Michael Ratner has described as the "black shirts of Guantanamo."
Quoting from the CCR report: "Detainees are subjected to brutal physical assaults by the Immediate Reaction Force (IRF), a team of military guards comparable to a riot squad, who are trained to respond to alleged 'disciplinary infractions' with overwhelming force." And later in the report: "In Camps 5, 6 and Echo, detainees live in constant fear of physical violence. Frequent attacks by IRF teams heighten this anxiety and reinforce that violence can be inflicted by the guards at any moment for any perceived infraction, or sometimes without provocation or explanation."
In fact, conditions at Guantanamo have gotten even worse since Obama became president. "Certainly in my experience there have been many, many more reported incidents of abuse since the inauguration," Ahmed Ghappour, a lawyer representing several Guantanamo detainees, told Reuters in February.1
And, contrary to popular belief and to his own statements, Obama's executive orders do not ban torture either; they contain several loopholes that allow it to continue. For instance, the order states that interrogation techniques must conform to the Army Field Manual, but Annex M of that manual allows for prolonged solitary confinement and sleep deprivation.The order also established a task force that includes Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and Attorney General Eric Holder that is charged with determining whether to implement techniques that go beyond the Army Field Manual. Finally, the order states that prisoners shall be treated humanely, "whenever such individuals are in the custody or under the effective control of an officer, employee, or other agent of the United States Government or detained within a facility owned, operated, or controlled by a department or agency of the United States."
This raises the obvious question: What about the many instances when the U.S. hands detainees over to other countries--or to prisons run by its puppet governments in Afghanistan and Iraq?
2. Obama's detention program is even more fascist than Bush's program.
During the campaign Obama declared habeas corpus to be "the foundation of Anglo-American law." Habeas corpus is your right to challenge your detention; it's a right that goes back almost 900 years. Its absence marks a tyranny because without it there are no restraints on a government's powers to detain and punish. In March 2008, Obama claimed that: "We ultimately provide anybody that we're detaining an opportunity through habeas corpus to answer to charges."
Obama's actions since assuming office, however, have made a mockery of his campaign rhetoric, to say the least. Even before his major speech on May 21, Obama made clear that he was continuing the fundamental aspects of the Bush Regime's detention program, including: Indefinitely detaining anybody his administration chooses to, without charge or trial; denying habeas corpus to hundreds of prisoners at the Bagram prison in Afghanistan, which is currently undergoing a $60 million expansion; denying habeas corpus to Guantanamo prisoners detained before June 2008; and reinstituting Bush's military commissions. Obama claimed to be "reforming" the military commissions by preventing the admission of evidence gained through torture, limiting hearsay evidence, and allowing detainees to choose which military lawyer would represent them. This caused Vincent Warren, CCR's executive director, to comment:
"You know, putting a few due process protections on an old George Bush policy is like rehabbing a house on a toxic waste site. You know, it really didn't make a whole lot of difference. And you can't make the military commissions better."
But in his May 21 speech, Obama went further than even Bush ever did: He announced his intent to implement indefinite preventive detention. In other words, Obama announced that in addition to sending detainees before military commissions, sending still other prisoners off for continued detention in other countries, releasing some detainees, and moving to prosecute others who have already been subjected to a living hell for the past several years, the U.S. will detain people indefinitely, without charge or trial, whom the government claims might commit a crime. Not just people whom the government claims have committed a crime, mind you, but those whom the administration says might commit a crime.
Here is what Obama himself said in his speech, followed by former constitutional lawyer and renowned blogger Glenn Greenwald's analysis of the speech...
Obama: Now, finally, there remains the question of detainees at Guantanamo who cannot be prosecuted yet who pose a clear danger to the American people. And I have to be honest here -- this is the toughest single issue that we will face. We're going to exhaust every avenue that we have to prosecute those at Guantanamo who pose a danger to our country. But even when this process is complete, there may be a number of people who cannot be prosecuted for past crimes, in some cases because evidence may be tainted, but who nonetheless pose a threat to the security of the United States. Examples of that threat include people who've received extensive explosives training at al Qaeda training camps, or commanded Taliban troops in battle, or expressed their allegiance to Osama bin Laden, or otherwise made it clear that they want to kill Americans. These are people who, in effect, remain at war with the United States. Let me repeat: I am not going to release individuals who endanger the American people."
By comparison, as Greenwald goes on to point out, the maximum amount of time that people can be held without charge is 24 hours in Canada;48 hours in South Africa, Germany, New Zealand and the U.S.;five days in Russia; and 7 ½ days in Turkey.
And yet, Obama announced he will seek to hold people indefinitely without charge on the basis that they might commit a crime.You could not find a more totalitarian measure in the pages of George Orwell's "1984."
Many people breathed a sigh of relief after the president's speech because Obama promised to consult Congress on his detention policies, and to establish a "legitimate legal framework" for indefinite preventive detention. But establishing a "legitimate legal framework" for an escalation of the Bush Regime's fascist detention program should not be comforting at all--by seeking to normalize that program, it only makes it all the more dangerous!
People of conscience must once again ask themselves: "Will I accept something
under Obama that I never would have accepted under Bush?"
3. Barack Obama is covering-up war crimes and crimes against humanity.
This process has several components to it:
REFUSING TO PROSECUTE WAR CRIMINALSLet's put a few simple facts together:
A) Barack Obama has acknowledged on several occasions that the Bush Regime authorized torture. For instance, in January 2009, he told ABC's George Stephanophoulous, "[Former] Vice President Cheney I think continues to defend what he calls extraordinary measures or procedures when it comes to interrogations and from my view waterboarding is torture."
B) Bush officials have admitted that the administration, all the way up to George W. Bush himself, authorized torture (they do not call it torture, they call it "enhanced interrogation techniques"). In May 2009, Cheney appeared on "Face the Nation" with Bob Schieffer and said, "This was a presidential-level decision. And the decision went to the president. He signed off on it."
C) The four torture memos that Obama released in April 2009 prove, in a graphic and incredibly detailed manner, that Bush Regime lawyers Jay Bybee and Steven Bradbury authorized forms of torture including waterboarding, slamming into walls, confinement in boxes, shackling and sleep deprivation for days at a time, and forced nudity.2
D) Under the United Nations Convention Against Torture, all state parties are required to investigate and prosecute torturers. Article 12 states: "Each state party shall ensure that its competent authorities proceed to a prompt and impartial investigation wherever there is reasonable ground to believe that an act of torture has been committed in any territory under its jurisdiction."
Add all this up, and here's what you get: Obama is morally and legally required, under international law, to commence investigations and prosecutions of Bush officials for torture. And yet he refuses to do so. This means Obama himself is in violation of international law, and is complicit with the Bush Regime's crimes against humanity. Furthermore, unless and until Obama enforces laws against torture, he is ensuring it will continue; he is sending a message that those who violate these laws in the future will not be punished.
Imagine a serial killer murders in broad daylight. And imagine if, instead of arresting the killer, the local police department issued a statement saying, "From this day forward, we will not allow murder. But we are not going to prosecute the murderer." This is what Obama has done by refusing to prosecute the Bush Regime. If the Bush regime can get away with openly violating the law then there is no "rule of law." Any president can henceforth break the law without any consequences.
As if his refusal to prosecute Bush officials who authorized and carried out torture weren't bad enough, Obama took another huge step towards covering up the crimes of our government when he announced in May 2009 that he will try to block roughly 2000 photos of U.S. torture from being released. Obama justified this decision by claiming that releasing the photos would only increase anti-American sentiment, and added, "Publication of these photos would not add any additional benefit to our understanding of what was carried out in the past by a small number of individuals."
This is a lie! What actually increases "anti-American sentiment" is not photos of torture; it's torture itself! Furthermore, Obama knows full well that torture was not carried out by "a small number of individuals," but rather was applied systematically, on a huge scale, and with approval from the highest levels of the U.S. government. Just to give one example of this fact: In his recent book, "George W. Bush, War Criminal?" Professor Michael Haas reveals that the Bush Regime imprisoned thousands of children in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo, and subjected them to rape, severe physical beatings, solitary confinement, denial of contact with parents for years at a time, and use of dogs.3
The 2000 photos would serve as powerful and irrefutable further proof of the fact that U.S. torture is systematic and widespread, and they would show the true essence of the U.S. wars for empire in the Middle East. It is exactly for these reasons that Obama is trying so hard to block the photos from coming out!
Obama's decision to block the photos also goes hand in hand with his refusal to prosecute Bush Regime war criminals: Releasing the photos would undoubtedly unleash an even louder demand for prosecutions.
Finally, Obama has continued Bush's use of the "state secrets" argument to prevent victims of U.S. torture from suing the government. Perhaps most infamously, in February, the Obama administration applied the state secrets argument in the case of Mohamed et al vs. Jeppesen Dataplan Inc. In 2002, Binyam Mohamed--a citizen of Ethiopia and British resident--was arrested in Pakistan, and then sent by the U.S. to Morocco, and then Afghanistan, and then finally to Guantanamo. Mohamed was not released until 2009. During his seven years of detention, he was horrifically tortured.
This torture included having his penis repeatedly cut with a scalpel: "One of them took my penis in his hand and began to make cuts," Mohamed said, recounting his treatment. "He did it once, and then stood still for maybe a minute, watching my reaction. I was in agony. They must have done this 20 to 30 times, in maybe two hours. There was blood all over. 'I told you I was going to teach you who's the man," [one] eventually said."4
Mohamed and four other detainees sued Jeppesen Dataplan, a subsidiary of Boeing, for arranging the flights used to transfer them to the various countries in which they were tortured. But in February, the Obama administration continued to argue the same position as the Bush Regime in seeking to block Mohamed's lawsuit from proceeding: That allowing the case to go forward jeopardized U.S. national security.
In April, an appeals court ruled against the Obama administration and reinstated
Mohamed et al vs. Jeppesen Dataplan Inc. But the fact that Obama would seek to protect torturers at the expense of torture
victims is both very revealing, and very much in line with his overall continuation
and escalation of the Bush Regime's torture and detention program.
4. Obama is continuing rendition.
During his confirmation hearing, CIA director Leon Panetta made it clear the Obama administration will continue rendition: "Using renditions, we may very well direct individuals to third countries," Panetta said.
Rendition is the practice of kidnapping somebody in one country and shipping them to another country for detention. On February 5, Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), pointed out: "Rendition is a violation of sovereignty. It's a kidnapping. It's force and violence ... Once you open the door to rendition, you're opening the door, essentially, to a lawless world."
Obama supporters have attempted to draw the distinction between this practice and "extraordinary rendition," defined as the practice of transferring somebody to another country knowing that they will be tortured.
But who does Panetta view as a source of inspiration when it comes to making sure that people are not tortured? The Bush Regime! During his confirmation hearing, Leon Panetta said that under the Bush administration, "There were efforts by the CIA to seek and to receive assurances that those individuals would not be mistreated."
Panetta then added, "I will seek the same kind of assurances that those individuals will not be mistreated."
Hmm. That's comforting.
The New York Times reported on March 7, 2009:
The above facts should make abundantly clear that Barack Obama is not only continuing, but seeking to legitimize and consolidate, the Bush Regime's torture and detention state. If we do not want to live in a country whose government can kidnap anyone they please, imprison them without charge or trial, and torture them--all with impunity--we must immediately and visibly resist torture and the crimes of our government. We must demand prosecutions of all who authorized and carried out torture; release of the torture photos; and an immediate (and actual) end to our government's fascistic torture and detention program.

El Sereno Elementary School Teacher Accused Of Molestation
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - An attorney for the
Attorney Luis Carrillo contends in the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit that three of Armando Gonzalez's former students did not report the alleged wrongdoing until recently. The girls ``discovered that the psychological injury, illness and suffering" they subsequently experienced were ``caused by the childhood sexual harassment, molestation and abuse," according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also alleges that there are up to 15 victims, a claim that Carrillo told the Los Angeles Times was based on information provided to one of his clients by a school district employee.
David Holmquist, attorney for the LAUSD, said the district began dismissal proceedings against Gonzalez in 2012, but he was removed from the classroom in March 2010, ``as soon as we were made aware of the allegations.''
Holmquist said the allegations were also reported to law enforcement.
``We remained steadfast throughout that (firing) process to not settle with this teacher, and he subsequently resigned during the dismissal proceedings on
``It is unfortunate that the state has created such a cumbersome and costly dismissal process,'' he said. ``As a school district, we took the leadership to work with state legislators to give us final authority to fire teachers accused of misconduct. Unfortunately, the bill that was passed this session does not provide adequate protection for our students.''
Carrillo said, however, the district had warnings dating back to 2007 of Gonzalez's unfitness to teach based on episodes of touching, fondling and kissing girls on the lips.

Better Aerogel Made in Space - UPDATE
Aerogel Update!!!
First Space-Produced Aerogel Made on Space Sciences Laboratory
Rocket Flight
June 19, 1996 Aerogel Headline , Aerogel is the lightest solid known to mankind, with only three times the density of air. Aerogel, because of its appearence is sometimes referred to as "frozen smoke". Aerogel produced on the ground typically displays a blue haze or has a slight cloudiness to its appearence. This feature is believed to be caused by impurities and variations in the size of small pores in the Aerogel material. Scientists are trying to eliminate this haze so that the insulator might be used in window panes and other applications where transparency is important.
The Aerogel made aboard the flight of the Starfire Rocket in April has indicated that gravity effects in samples of the material made on the ground may be responsible for the adverse pore sizes and thus account for the lack of transparency. Both the diameter and volume of the pores in the space-made Aerogel appear to be between 4 and 5 times better than otherwise identically formulated ground samples. Because Aerogels are the only known transparent insulator, with typical heat conduction properties that are five times better than the next best alternative, a number of novel applications are foreseen in high performance Aerogels.

PHILADELPHIA - For the first time since 2003-04, the Quakers (16-12, 9-5 Ivy) will play in the postseason. Penn hosts Howard (20-11, 12-4 MEAC) at The Palestra in the First Round of the Women's Basketball Invitational on Thursday at 7 p.m. Among the 16 tournament teams, Penn is the No. 2 seed in the East Region and Howard is slated as the No. 7 seed.
Catching the Games
Video and live stats will be available on the Penn Sports Network at PennAthletics.com. Twitter (@PennWBB) updates are also available throughout the contest. A complete recap and box score can then be found at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of the game.
About the WBI
In its fourth season, the WBI is a 16-team tournament split into two regions. Minnesota, who qualified for the WNIT this season, is the defending champion. A link to the complete 2013 WBI bracket is at the top of this release.
In the Series vs. Howard
Penn and Howard have met on the hardwood just once before. The Bison topped the Quakers at the EAIAW Regional Tournament, 77-59, on March 4, 1978. The Quakers went 1-1 against other MEAC opponents this season with a season-opening loss at Norfolk State ( 60-51) and a home win over Morgan State (79-73) on Jan. 8. Penn is 1-3 all-time against the MEAC.
About the Bison
Howard won 20 games and qualified for the postseason for the second straight year. Last season, the Bison were 24-9 and lost by three in overtime at Virginia in the first round of the WNIT. This season, Howard is 20-11 and finished third in the MEAC with a 12-4 conference mark. The Bison lost in the MEAC Championship game on Saturday to Hampton, 59-38. They have three common opponents with Penn. The Quakers lost to Temple and Norfolk State, while Howard beat both those teams. Each team also defeated Morgan State this year (Howard did so twice). The Bison, who are near the top of the MEAC in nearly every statistical category, are No. 6 in the nation in defense as they allow just 49.8 points per game. They also rank in the Top 25 in the country with just 13.7 turnovers per game and a +5.2 turnover margin. Saadia Doyle is 15th in the nation and second in the MEAC in scoring (20.3 ppg), and also leads the team with 8.6 rebounds per game. Cheyenne Curley-Payne leads the conference and ranks 16th in the country in assists (6.3 apg). She is second in the MEAC with 81 steals. Kara Smith leads the Bison with 46 threes, while Nicole Deterville has a team-high 25 blocked shots.
Landmarks of a Postseason Berth
Penn has only been to the postseason twice since becoming a member of the NCAA in 1981. The Quakers made the NCAA Tournament as Ivy League champions in 2000-01 and 2003-04. Penn's 2012-13 postseason appearance will mark its 29th game this season to tie the program record set by the 2007-08 squad. Thursday's game will also match the latest into March the Quakers have ever played. On this date in 2004, Penn lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to second-seeded and fifth-ranked Connecticut, 91-55, in Bridgeport, Conn.
Against the MEAC
In its history, Penn is 1-3 all-time against the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). Though the Quakers are 1-0 all-time at The Palestra against MEAC opponents. That win came on Jan. 8 of this year—a 79-73 win over Morgan State. Also this season, the Red and Blue fell to Norfolk State in the season opener, 60-51. Penn's other MEAC losses came to Howard and Delaware State on neutral courts. The Quakers lost in the EAIAW tournament to Howard, 77-59, on March 4, 1978. Then 25 years later, the Quakers fell in to Delaware State, 74-68, at the UMBC Retriever Classic in Baltimore, Md., on Nov. 23, 2003.
Fun Fact
Penn has never lost on a Thursday under Coach McLaughlin (3-0).
Magic Number: 60
The statistic that may most indicate a Penn win or loss? 60 points. Since head coach Mike McLaughlin took over at Penn, the Quakers are 27-7 (.794) when they score 60 points, including 9-2 this year (only losses were 68-65 to Virginia of the ACC and 70-65 to Yale). In comparison, the Quakers are just 15-63 (.192) when they've scored less than 60 points under Coach McLaughlin. The trend continues defensively. Over the last four seasons, the Red and Blue are 8-42 (.160) when allowing more than 60 points. But when holding opponents under that number, the Quakers hold a winning record of 34-28 (.548), including eight straight wins.
Penn Trends
At least one freshman has been in the starting lineup for the Quakers in 81 of the last 84 games ... Penn is 14-8 in its last 22 Ivy games ... Penn is 13-2 when leading at the half and 3-10 when trailing ... The Quakers have had fewer turnovers than their opponents in a remarkable 23 of 28 games this season (15-8 in those games) ... The Quakers have outrebounded their opponent just nine times this year, but are 9-0 in those games ... Prior to the season finale, Penn used the same starting lineup in 24 straight games (16-8) ... Alyssa Baron has started 84 consecutive games for the Quakers ... Three different Quakers have scored more than 20 points in a game this season (Baron, Roche, Ray) and senior captain Brianna Bradford had 17 in a recent win at Dartmouth.
Winning Ways
In 2009-10, Penn won just two games—the fewest wins in program history. Now, just three seasons later, the Quakers are currently in the midst of the fourth-best season in program history. Penn posted seven or more out-of-conference wins in back-to-back seasons for just the second time in program history (1999-00, 2000-01)—and those seven non-league wins are tied for fourth-most all-time at Penn. The winning ways continued into league play where the Quakers won nine games for the sixth time in school history.
Climbing the Record Books
Junior Alyssa Baron added another 16 points in the season finale against Princeton. She has 398 points this season and is now the fourth-best scorer in program history with 1,334 for her career. Next season, Baron will chase Kirsten Brendel (1,656 points) for third place and Jewel Clark (1,743) for second. Clark is also 10th all-time in scoring in Ivy history. Former Quaker, Diana Caramanico holds the Ivy League scoring record at 2,415 points. Baron became the 19th Penn women's player to reach 1,000 career points on Nov. 30. She is the third-fastest Quaker to accomplish that milestone (60 games) and the first since Biemer topped the landmark in 2008. Only Penn's all-time leading scorer (man or woman), Caramanico (48 games) and Mandy West (52 games) were faster to 1,000 points.
Senior Starters
As is tradition, Coach McLaughlin started all of his seniors on Senior Day. It marked the first career starts for Katie Davis and Brianna Bradford. Prior to that, Penn was one of just four schools where both basketball program's had yet to start a senior this season. The only other three schools in the country with that distinction of youth: Wright State, Navy and Dartmouth.
A Penn Win Would...
... mark the first postseason win in program history.
... mark just the fourth 17-win season and 10-win Ivy season in Penn history.
... make the Quakers 17-12 overall and advance to the WBI Quarterfinals.
A Penn Loss Would...
... be the third straight and mark the end of the 2012-13 season with a 16-13 overall record.
... be less good than a win.
Charge for a Cure!
For the third straight year the women's basketball team is dedicating its entire season to the fight against several diseases and the team needs your help. In its first two years, 109 donors have joined the "Charge for a Cure" program which helped the team raise nearly $7,000. Each month of the season will be devoted to help a specific disease with personal ties to the program—The Michael J. Fox Foundation, Go4theGoal, the American Cancer Society, The Dave Bryan Ride on Fund, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of America. At the end of each month, the coaches will total the number of offensive charges the Quakers have taken as a team and fans can pledge a donation per charge. This month the Quakers will be taking charges for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of America, but the team is turning to its fans to lend a hand in its efforts. Here is how you can help!

Last Time Out
In the season finale, an incredible effort erased an 18-point deficit against the Ivy League's top team, but the Penn fell short against Princeton on Senior Day at The Palestra, 60-44. Princeton jumped out to a 22-4 lead over the first 13 minutes. Penn was just 1-of-15 (6.7%) from the floor at that point. But the Quakers battled back. Over the next 20 minutes, the Red and Blue outscored the NCAA Tournament-bound Tigers 32-13 to take the lead with under nine minutes to play. However, Penn went scoreless over the next four minutes and the Ivy champions capitalized. Princeton scored 12 straight to go up 11. Over the next several minutes, the Tigers pushed that lead to 56-40 with just 3:08 left. That 16-point deficit would be the final margin.
Up Next
The winner of the Quakers/Bison matchup will take on third-seeded Fairfield or sixth-seeded St. Francis (Pa.) on March 23 or March 24 at a site to be determined.

Any revenues resulting from the operation of such facilities may be retained by the Crow Indian Tribe.
(2) As used in this subsection, the term "shoreline" means that land which borders both Yellowtail Reservoir and the exterior boundary of the Crow Indian Reservation, together with that part of the reservoir necessary to the development of the facilities referred to in this subsection.
(a) The Secretary shall coordinate administration of the recreation area with the other purposes of the Yellowtail Reservoir project so that it will in his judgment best provide (1) for public outdoor recreation benefits, (2) for conservation of scenic, scientific, historic, and other values contributing to public enjoyment and (3) for management, utilization, and disposal of renewable natural resources in a manner that promotes, or is compatible with, and does not significantly impair, public recreation and conservation of scenic, scientific, historic, or other values contributing to public enjoyment.
(b) In the administration of the area for the purposes of this Act, the Secretary may utilize such statutory authorities relating to areas administered and supervised by the Secretary through the National Park Service and such statutory authorities otherwise available to him for the conservation and management of natural resources as he deems appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Act.
The Secretary shall permit hunting and fishing on lands and waters under his jurisdiction within the recreation area in accordance with the appropriate laws of the United States and of the States of Montana or Wyoming to the extent applicable, except that the Secretary may designate zones where, and establish periods when, no hunting or fishing shall be permitted for reasons of public safety, administration, fish or wildlife management, or public use and enjoyment, and except that nothing in this section shall impair the rights under other laws of the Crow Tribe and its members to hunt and fish on lands of the Crow Tribe that are included in the recreation area, or the rights of the members of the Crow Tribe to hunt and fish under section 2(d) of the Act of July 15, 1958. Except in emergencies, any regulations of the Secretary pursuant to this section shall be put into effect only after consultation with the Montana Fish and Game Department or the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission.
There is hereby authorized to be appropriated not more than $355,000 for the acquisition of land and interests in land pursuant to this Act.
Approved, October 15, 1966.

A 23-year-old man suspected of shooting another man over a debt has been captured in Las Vegas, police said Monday.
Las Vegas police detained Rambo Martin, a Colton resident, after he gave officers a false name. Officers contacted Colton police when they discovered his real name.
Police said Martin confronted the victim Oct. 8 at an apartment complex in the 800 block of East Washington Street. When the victim refused to give Martin any money, Martin grabbed a handgun and shot the victim as he walked away.
Colton police picked up Martin in Las Vegas on Monday and booked him in West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.

For those of you who haven't played yet, what race/class has you the most interested?
For those of you who have had a chance to play, which one has taken your fancy?
Personally I'm quite taken with the Goblin Squig Herder and those Witch Hunters order-side, if only because the Witch Hunters wield a gun and a sword at the same time (and that just looks cool). I'm hoping in the higher levels I like it all the more than just for looks.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
is in the air at Multnomah as the time approaches for Luis Palau's Portland CityFest 2008 on August 22 and 23 at Waterfront Park. Multnomah's sponsorship of this
event is the biggest partnership since Dr. John Mitchell and Dr. Joe Aldrich's
involvement in the Portland Billy Graham Crusades of 1950 and 1992.
Luis being one of our alumni, we have always felt a special connection to his
ministry," said Michelle Peel, director of Alumni Relations at Multnomah Bible College
and Biblical Seminary. "He is a great example of Multnomah's legacy to
educate and equip Christians for impact in their world today."
The Festival
More than
6.5 million people have attended Luis Palau's festivals worldwide since they
began in 1999. The Luis Palau Association (LPA) seeks to make their festivals
more than just a weekend event; they want to leave a lasting legacy of united
evangelistic efforts among Christian leaders in each community.
Season of Service
As a
precursor to Portland CityFest, Christians from all denominations will work
together under the banner of "Season of Service" to minister to their
communities through relationships, service, and strategic outreach. Through
focused efforts on such needs as homelessness, hunger, poverty, the medically
uninsured, public schools and the environment, LPA strives to change the hearts
of individual people and eventually the city itself.
Volunteer Opportunities
There are
specific ways to get involved. As sponsors of Portland CityFest, Multnomah is looking for 500 volunteers for the
event whether they be alumni, donors, faculty, staff, students, prospective
students, or interested members of local churches. Volunteers will be able to
serve as "advocates" or "decision counselors."
will commit to pray for five friends, neighbors, colleagues or family members during
the months leading up to the festival. As part of the commitment, they will
present the gospel message either through sharing their own testimony or
extending an invitation to Portland
CityFest where the Gospel will be clearly presented.
counselors will volunteer at the festival to be a guide for those who come
forward to make a decision for Christ. Training sessions will be scheduled for
counselors as the festival approaches.
If you
would like to be a part of Multnomah and Portland
CityFest's efforts, notify us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 503.251.6460 and visit www.portlandcityfest.com to sign up for more info. You can also find
additional information about LPA and their festivals at www.palau.org.

DeWine: Berry's daughter was fathered by Castro
(Columbus) - Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has released the preliminary results of DNA testing performed in connection with Cleveland kidnapping and rape suspect Ariel Castro.
The Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) received a sample of Castro's DNA late Thursday afternoon, and forensic scientists worked throughout the night to confirm that Castro is the father of the six-year-old girl born in captivity to kidnapping victim Amanda Berry.
Castro's DNA profile was also compared to other DNA profiles submitted to the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). Castro's DNA did not match any other Ohio cases, however national results are pending through the FBI.

Sandy • Real Salt Lake escapes with a point.
Alvaro Saborio's 80th minute goal, assisted by forward Joao Plata, gave RSL a 1-1 tie in front of a sellout crowd of 20,370 at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday.
Colorado Rapids rookie Deshorn Brown scored his first career goal, giving his team a 1-0 lead at the half.
RSL center back Chris Schuler's giveaway in front of the RSL goal gave Brown a chance from the right side, and the forward buried it.
RSL dominated possession for most of the half but could not find the back of the net.
Midfielder Kyle Beckerman sent a blast from outside the box that was tipped away by Rapids' keeper Matt Pickens in the game's third minute. On the ensuing corner kick, RSL defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe collided with Pickens, breaking his right forearm.
Colorado was forced to use backup keeper Clint Irwin, the team's third goalie of the young season.
RSL had chances to test the backup in the first half but couldn't get a shot on frame.
Forward Robbie Findley did well to get behind Colorado's defensive four, but his touch failed him in his first action back at Rio Tinto Stadium. In the 18th minute, Findley chipped a chance in front of the goal well over the crossbar and into the stands.
