The Diocesan ECW administers and helps finance the Lex Mathews Scholarship Program, begun more than two decades ago by family and friends of the Rev. Lex Mathews. It is geared toward women of the diocese, age 23 and older, seeking either specialized training in vocational or technical skills, a degree or certification below the masters or doctorate level, or continuing education courses for upgrading job skills. The scholarships, awarded annually in the spring, are an effort to help women, many of whom are solely responsible for their families, to achieve self-sufficiency by getting the education necessary to enter or reenter the workforce. Preference is given to Episcopalians or someone sponsored by an Episcopalian.

I deserves it.
And Democrats preparing to kick op there commencing in Charlotte admits the highest Labor Day gas prices on record.
The national average is now up over to -- -- down from last month.
Joining us now from Houston to.
Kingston of plaques Thomas driver I -- -- twice a week I had seen those gas prices go up.
Interestingly though not because of hurricane Isaak are that.
No -- really turn out to be a non event for this community a loss of I don't know ten million barrels and total production which is not nothing but I think the markets already take that in.
There's one refinery discuss some issues as a result devising but I think guys -- to the market was essentially non event.
So what is it then because you're concerned with the supply of gasoline are you.
-- must flats are concerned with the supply of crude -- I'm not concerned with the supply of gasoline you know markets at times can be crude -- and they can be products like.
I think this is certainly one of those times when its products -- and specifically it is -- distillate led diesel led.
-- all of those markets are looking very strong relative to gasoline inventories are very tight I think you have some other things that have affected the market but some changes in shipping.
As shipping standards for the kind of -- -- using ships I think also leave the US northeast is tightening up -- specifications so a lot of really higher sulfur stuff.
Which -- -- -- in the past which in many wasn't -- cleanest stuff but it was little cheap.
That's all that point on the diesel market so I think you've really got -- -- easily you know that as far as the average person on the street how they watch that well they can look at that spread.
In between gasoline and diesel of those stations -- so both.
Back in 2008 when everybody was screaming about that gasoline prices -- was actually at times almost a dollar higher.
Which at that point was just unprecedented so it seems to be diesel leading the market right now.
Interesting then if gasoline crew -- -- the issue why was there talk about tapping the strategic petroleum reserve.
Well I think that the talk was mostly because of politics I have to think that the Obama administration is getting a little worried about this.
I noticed that the consumer confidence index last week was down and I really think that the consumer confidence index.
Has when people see that price of gasoline going up.
It really takes a lack of confidence even more so than is probably justified so I think it was politics I do think interesting some news from this morning.
The IEA executive director Herman van -- -- made a comment in and in India.
That the crude market is well supplied.
-- products -- a little tight.
And I think that she's kind of taking a little push back to the G-7 statement which almost -- there.
To hint that possibly releasing oil from the SPR or for strategic stocks if you gonna do that you would do that in a coordinated way with -- IAEA.
For her saying that -- stocks are ample she's kind of saying I don't think that this is a good time for that so.
I think she knows that any push right now to release oil from.
From crude stocks -- be politically driven by the Obama administration.
Just like in that 2000 when the Clinton administration yeah well.
And candid as to your point unnecessary.
John -- Cineplex thanks for sharing -- thought sir thank you know.

"This save the date was perfect for my upcoming destination wedding! I have gotten so many compliments from family and friends about how great they look. The design and ordering process was so easy and they came in 3 days early!"
"We liked the ability to customize this with individual pics and a large one on the back. Perfect amount of room for text. Crisp and clean look. We'd use this again for sure. Thanks!"
"We wanted something simple, to the point and fun. This fits it all. Lots of compliments, never get tired of looking at the design. The only thing that could be better is if they let you choose bride and groom features. But overall fantastic!"
"Didn't know what to expect when I ordered these Save the Date cards. I got them within the week and they were so beautiful! Very impressed and now looking for my Bridal Shower invites. Great quality."
"I ordered this save the date with a custom color of Navy blue and a poem on the back. I love that they send you a proof of your order before they charge you and print them. I got to see my custom color and proof read my text. The proof was sent to me within a couple days, and after I made changes to the back the new proof was emailed to me just as fast. The order was shipped to me a day early. I am getting lots of compliments on them about how cute they are and that they look like a book cover. I will definitely be ordering my invites from here :)"

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Law enforcement agencies across Florida are holding crackdowns to stop impaired driving.
A Florida Department of Transportation press release says officers "will be aggressively looking" for drunk drivers during the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" crackdowns. The special enforcement crackdown will run from Wednesday through January 1.
FDOT Chief Safety Officer Lora Hollingsworth says the goal is to ensure everyone enjoys a safe holiday season while out on the road. That's why drivers caught drinking and driving impaired will not be tolerated. "No warnings. No excuses."
Authorities say there were 920 alcohol-related or suspected fatalities in 2011 that resulted from car crashes. Nationally, in December, approximately 30 percent of all fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes involve alcohol-impaired drivers.

Elegy to a Tree
Elegy to a Tree, the poem, was written about six months after my husband passed away. It at the time when I had turned to the expressive arts to help me express my soul's grief.
After enrolling in a drawing class, I was given an assignment to go outside and draw a tree. I knew exactly which tree I wanted to draw – my favorite tree which was right outside my house on the golf course. There were oh so many times when I would sit and look at "my tree" in the sunshine and the lightning storms, taking great comfort in its strength and dignity. When our neighbors built their house next to ours, my biggest concern was that it would block my view of the tree. Fortunately, that didn't happen.
When I took my drawing pad outside to work on this assignment, to my horror and dismay I discovered that "my tree" was missing. It had been taken down and replaced with an ordinary palm tree. So, from a state of grief and loss, I drew the found one of the many pictures I had taken of the tree and used that image to draw from.
Once completed, I was compelled to write "An Elegy to a Tree" as a tribute and eulogy. The poem speaks volumes about what I was experiencing at that time in my life – a loss of any kind created a raw emotion that went down to my very core, my "roots".
As I have traveled with my work to art shows, the piece created from my drawing and the photograph of the tree seems to call out to passers by. This story art touches the viewers almost instantly. It is spiritual in nature, and I don't think I had much to do with creating it other than to have it come through my hands and heart onto paper. Elegy to a tree is mean to be shared so that its spirit lives on.
Elegy to a Tree
Welcoming all to a vision of grandeur,
you stood tall and proud with your trunk rooted firmly in the ground
as your limbs reached towards the heavens.
I watched in awe as playful birds rested on your bare branches,
and marveled when your sparse limbs were
illuminated by gleaming sunbeams.
You withstood the force of fierce winds, unrestrained rainstorms
and seemed to revel as lightning danced raggedly around you.
During your time on earth, your spirit was one of
beauty, dignity, grace and, above all, courage.
Then suddenly one day you disappeared!
Thoughtlessly cut down to fulfill
man's need for youthful perfection, you were
replaced with a rather unremarkable seedling.
Was it was time for your journey to
come to an end so that a new life could begin?
Nonetheless, your loss was jarring.
Know this oh grand tree ~
the indelible image of your
magnificent strength and glory
will always have a home within my soul!
© Laurel D. Rund 2009
Trees play a significant part in my life. On the first year marker of my husband's death, February 11th, 2010, I planted a beautiful bottle brush tree outside my office window with notes from me and my grandchildren under the roots of the tree. Birds and butterflies land on this tree (now "Marty's tree") and it gives me great pleasure every time I look up from my computer and see it.
It is a symbol of hope and regrowth! As it grows, so do I. View all posts by Laurel Rund →on Open to Hope's website

Oh, nonsense. He was wrong, plain and simple. I loved Ronald Reagan and I think he was the best president of my lifetime, but I´m not a Democrat so I don´t have to come up with excuses to explain politicians on "my side" disagreeing with me.
Amen, #1. The project to deify Reagan is silly and non productive. He was a fantastic President, warts and all. Why can´t we just leave it at that?
Yes, #1. I think you are right. We all realize RR, on his worst day, was better than any President since (especially this one) but he was not infallible.
Bad judgment on Michael´s part; he should have left it alone.
It doesn´t matter what Reagan did. If Carter and Ford signed it - - that makes it a holier document than the Bible.I´m still in awe of their towering intellects.

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team moved to 10-5 on the year with an 82-62 victory over visiting Eastern Illinois Monday night. The host Skyhawks knocked down a season-high 16 3-pointers.
The Skyhawks also extended their winning streak to four games.
"This is a big win for us," UT Martin head coach Kevin McMillian said. "We want to sustain this a couple of more games."
The Skyhawks have one more regular season game remaining, Saturday at Austin Peay. Tipoff is set for 5:15 p.m.
"The kids played unselfish tonight," McMillian said.
Junior Heather Butler led the Skyhawks with 21 points, while Jasmine Newsome finished with 17 points. Freshman Chelsey Hall scored a career-high 13 points while senior Shelby Crawford scored 10 points.
Senior Rickiesha Bryant pulled down 10 rebounds to lead UT Martin. However, EIU outrebounded UT Martin 43-34.
Ta'Kenya Nixon led the Panthers with 20 points. Sabina Oroszova and Mariah King scored 12 points each.
"The only thing I am happy about is we are playing well right now," McMillian said.
The victory was the Skyhawks fourth consecutive victory over the Panthers in the friendly confines of the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. It was also the sixth time this season the Skyhawks have won when they score more than 80 points.
However, victory didn't come easy as EIU built an early 24-18 advantage. The Skyhawks took the lead for good, 28-26, when freshman Sydney Vanlandingham knocked down her first 3-pointer of the game with 6:02 to play in the first half.
The Skyhawks knocked down 10 3-pointers in the first half to build a 49-33 lead. Butler drained four treys, while Schubert and Crawford hit two each. Newsome and Vandlandingham hit one each.
However, the Skyhawks fell behind early, but battled back with three 3-pointers, two by Crawford and one by Newsome. Crawford's jumper with 15:42 to play in the first half cut EIU's lead to one point, 12-11.
"We want to be playing well as the season winds down and the tournament starts," McMillian said.

New Mexico Gets Its First Indoor Water Park
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
The water park uses the MIOX State-of-the-Art "green" water disinfection system. The facility also offers Arcadia, a family entertainment center with a video arcade, retail shops and a place to paint your own pottery. The water park opens on March 12. It's a pretty small water park by most standards but the new park is designed to attract both locals and guests from all around the southwest and may help the hotel stand out from other options in the city.

Time Has Come for Reality to Eclipse Tradition
SOUTH OZONE PARK, NY, December 17, 2013—Time for a reality check.
It is resolved that while the event was intended as a championship defining moment, year-round, three surface racing mitigates this proposition. In the name of fairness and Eclipse Awards, it's a body of work that all too often decides season-ending honors.
Put another way, wishes aren't horses and the Breeders' Cup World Championships fail to crown title holders as often as it makes a season or a career an indelible memory.
It doesn't happen often but event day also can elevate the status of mere equines to that of legend, and that's what makes Breeders' Cup racing's greatest event. But the best laid plans…
Last week, a juvenile named Shared Belief exploded on to the late-season stage, taking everyone's breath away by remaining undefeated winning his Grade 1 two-turn debut in fast, grand style and throwing four hooves into the Eclipse ring.
But what are we supposed to make of the fact that all victories have come over a man-made surface and not God's good earth?
Is it really fair to compare that accomplishment to those of major Grade 1 mile-or-more dirt runners such as Havana, or New Year's Day, or Bond Holder?
I don't know about you but I have trouble delineating the difference between apples and oranges.

DRF Minus
SOUTH OZONE PARK, NY, December 3, 2013—For me, last weekend's holiday horse racing feast had only one negative: Discovering that "America's Turf Authority" doesn't take its brand slogan very seriously anymore.
If it did, Daily Racing Form wouldn't compel its customers and racing fans to pay a premium to read, of all things, routine stakes advances meant to showcase the game's brightest stars while keeping fans informed and engaged.
In an age where mainstream racing coverage has all but disappeared in markets not named Southern California, Kentucky, or Saratoga, thoroughbred racing's paper of record is no longer in the business of bringing you
the news needed to follow the sport comprehensively.

Racing fans are eagerly awaiting a rematch between Mucho Macho Man and Will Take Charge, who finished a nose apart in the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Shared Belief is a gift to racing
Shared Belief could be the best thing to happen to racing in decades. He established his brilliance in devastating the Cash Call Futurity. He is a gelding, so he'll be around for a while. Best of all, he's partially owned by Jim Rome, who connects with the toughest demographic to reach, young males. But there is a caveat, or two.

Colorado St over Washington St by 6
As ESPN likes to say, "It's the most wonderful time of the year" – and it certainly will be if this year's 35-game bowl schedule gets off to as rollicking a start as what we witnessed in last season's New Mexico Bowl.
Arizona edged Nevada, 49-48, in a shootout that saw both teams combine for 1,234 yards of total offense. The Wildcats trailed 45-28 in the 4th quarter before pulling within 6 points with just 46 seconds to play. Then,
after UA recovered an onside kick, QB Matt Scott engineered a 3-play, 51-yard touchdown drive for the game-winning score. Could we see another thriller in Albuquerque today? Considering Washington State's
aerial attack ranks 4th in the nation (364.5 YPG) and Colorado State averages over 200 YPG both rushing and passing, we say YES. We'll resist embarking on our annual rant about 6-6 teams getting bowl invitations
and instead congratulate the Cougars on making it to the postseason after suffering 9 straight losing campaigns. WSU's 2nd-year HC Mike Leach continues to make strides in Pullman, doubling his 3-win total from
2012 as he fi ghts to keep the Cougs competitive in the loaded Pac-12.Colorado State's Jim McElwain, also in his second year as a head coach, worked similar wonders with his Rams, improving to 7-6 after a 4-8 debut
in 2012. McElwain's squad is the only team in the nation to boast a 3,000-yard passer in Garrett Grayson and a 1,500-yard runner in Kapri Bibbs (led the nation with 28 rushing TDs). CSU fi nished the regular season on
a strong note, going 5-2 SUATS and ITS (needed 7 wins to get bowling shirts with its 13-game schedule). Even more impressive, the Rams won the stats by +129 net YPG from Game Seven out – while the Cougars lost
the stats by -98 net YPG over the same span. Wazzu QB Connor Halliday is no slouch himself but our reliable database informs us that 6-6 bowlers who allow 31.2 or more PPG are a Grinch-like 1-6 SUATS. The
favorite is also just 2-6 ATS in the Cougars' last eight bowl games, and Leach himself owns an identical 2-6 ATS mark as bowl chalk. The boys from Fort Collins currently stand 3-0 SUATS as bowlers off a SUATS win
but we can't ignore the fact that the Rams have not fared well against Pac-12 opposition, going just 2-8 SUATS in their last 10. Despite that lone negative, we still prefer backing an elated underdog with both the
better 'O' and 'D' against a WSU team that may be content just to be here. Toss in CSU's familiarity with the venue (Rams play annual series with New Mexico) and it looks like today's result might be a bit 'upsetting' for
Leach and this Cougar cubs. In the fi rst meeting ever between these schools, Colorado State comes out on top. The Clincher from our well-oiled machine: bowl favorites off at least 3 ATS wins with a win percentage of
less than .750 that won 6 or fewer games last season are 2-14 ATS since 1985.

CINCINNATI over Louisville by 3
When we get to these early December contests, teams are either playing for all the marbles or there is very little on the line; rarely does the importance of the contest fall anywhere in between. For the Cardinals, it's basically option #2. While QB Teddy Bridgewater's name comes up occasionally in Heisman discussions since Johnny Manziel, Marcus Mariota, and Bryce Petty imploded down the stretch, the invitations to the trophy ceremony will have been distributed by kickoff; thus, even a huge performance tonight will not get him to the party. As for his Cards, they have no shot at the first-ever AAC crown – the loss to Central Florida basically took care of that. Still, an 11-1 mark and a finish in the Top 20 are strong accomplishments, and a win over a rival school less than 100 miles away can do wonders during the approaching recruiting season. Unfortunately for Charlie Strong, his offense is in serious decline since the UCF loss, averaging just 348 YPG in the last three contests (down over 100 YPG from their 455 YPG season average). Meanwhile, the Bearcats are one of the hotter teams in college football and have plenty to play for – they've won six straight contests (making that early October loss to South Florida a real headscratcher). and since they didn't play UCF this season, they still have a slim chance of winning the conference title if the Knights lose to SMU. This will also be an interesting matchup between two of the nation's top defensive units (Louisville is #2 while Cincy is #10) and while the Bearcats are 11-3 ATS as an underdog with rest, the Cards are just 1-4 ATS coming off a bye. Also, while Louisville has not covered in any of their three weekday games this season, Cincinnati is 4-1-1 ATS versus the number with the extra zzz's recently. The most important call of all comes from the tag-team of the SMART BOX ('Puttin' On The Stats' from Issue 12) and the AWESOME ANGLE (on page 2), who put their heads together and come up with a no-doubt call on the Bearcats.

Raise High, the Prices, New Executive
There's been a whole lot of talk, much of it negative, about the price increases that the New York Racing Association plans on implementing for admission. So much of the criticism is so banal, so short sighted, so "in the service of fans", that people are losing their minds over $2.
Many of you know, but here's the back story: the price of general admission for Saratoga and Belmont will go from $3 to $5 and the clubhouse prices will go from $5 to $8, barely more than a medium cup of coffee from Dunkin' Donuts.
Comment writers, media folk, and columnists are about as radioactive on this as Chernobyl. You'd think this price hike was a climb up Everest when it's barely a walk out to the mailbox.
If $2 makes the choice of whether to come to the track or not, then frankly NYRA doesn't want that customer anyway. That customer, clamoring over $2, probably doesn't bet much, probably sits around all day with the concessions they carried in, and is likely the person who complains the most about amenities.
Trim the weeds. Get rid of these folks; that's the message, that's the undercurrent. They're high maintenance at too high a cost. I've seen enough un-ironic mullets at the racetrack. Give the college students a table and allow them to bring in beer and all you've done is create the most pristine beer pong tournament this side of UMass.

A few questions about the rules. And I feel like a total noob for not knowing the answers...
Posted 20 April 2012 - 04:19 PM
Despite this being my 5th ACen, this is the first time I'm planning on going to more than just photoshoots and signings. I was wondering where exactly props are not allowed to be taken.
Specifically, for the first time I'll be going to the Opening Ceremony, so I have no clues about the rules when it comes to that. Along with that, the group I'm going with might be hitting karaoke one night and possibly the gaming rooms and a panel or two.
As for the props that will be carried, if that is necessary to be known, is staff that is roughly 5 feet in height and possibly a wooden bat.
So, to be easier to understand, here is a list of the questions I have:
- When it comes to Opening Ceremony, what are the general rules? Are things like cameras, bags, and props allowed?
- Where are props not allowed besides in the concerts and masquerade?
- Are wooden bats allowed? (Just wanting to double check...)
My apologies if the questions I asked are answered somewhere else and I overlooked it. I just really would like to know beforehand when I should leave my prop in the hotel room.
Thanks for the help.

Opening Ceremony, as far as I know, carries no restrictions on cameras, bags, or props.
Props are generally allowed everywhere except in those areas you mentioned - concerts and dances especially.

As for the bat, someone coming with me is going as Ness from EarthBound who apparently uses a bat as his main weapon (from my understanding anyway). If it's used inappropriately, it will be taken from him and put in the hotel room for the rest of the con.
Alright, thank you so much for the information. This will prove to be helpful as I'm planning everything out for ACen.

When it comes to buying t shirts , the very first thing you should be considering is the size and the fit that you want. A well fitting t-shirt will not just look great on any kind of pants but will also effectively hide all your body flaws.

In addition to the direct danger to Panthers by pythons eating them, there is the elimination of the Panther food sources ... "if the right hand won't get you then the left one will."
I've noted dramatically fewer bird sightings on my annual canoe trip down the Turner River in Big Cypress. I sure can't link that to python predation but no other cause comes to mind.
It's hard to be happy that this situation may provide a platform for scientists to monitor the change as Mr. Gibbons suggests. I'd much rather that scientific know-how be channeled from passive monitoring into active development of a solution to prevent the Everglades from becoming a snake-pit.

What we learned from Mitt Romney
Romney plans to release just two of his tax returns before November election
Mitt Romney tried time and again to make one thing clear in our interview. On five different occasions in the first few minutes of the interview, Romney said he had "no role whatsoever" at Bain Capital after February 1999.
Here are the ways he said it:
"I had no role whatsoever in the management of Bain Capital after February of 1999."
"I left in February of 1999 to go out and run the Olympics."
"I went out and did that full-time, relinquished all management authority and role in Bain Capital after February of 1999."
"But the truth is that I left any role at Bain Capital in February of '99."
"And I had no role whatsoever in managing Bain Capital after February of 1999."
That kind of repetition doesn't happen by accident. After days of questions about Bain Capital filings at the Securities and Exchange Commission showing Romney still with the company after 1999, the year he has cited repeatedly as his departure date from the firm, the GOP contender and his campaign agreed to a round robin of interviews with the correspondents who cover his candidacy.
He repeated virtually the same denial, nearly word for word (perhaps not as many times) in all of the interviews.
But when pressed whether he was concerned that the discrepancy between his own words and government documents may one day cause a distraction for his campaign, Romney volunteered a broad defense of the firm's work.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with being associated with Bain Capital, of course."
Romney also addressed questions in various news reports about recently revealed Massachusetts state documents indicating that, after 1999, he sat in on board meetings for the office supply chain Staples, a company he helped found when at Bain Capital.
"Bain Capital had already sold its shares or distributed its shares in Staples. And so my involvement with Staples was entirely on a personal basis," Romney said. "I continued to be involved with the firm. But it was as a fiduciary for Staples, not as a representative of Bain Capital."
The real fireworks came when Romney lit into President Obama's reelection campaign.
"It's demeaning. It's disgusting," Romney insisted at one point in the interview.
Earlier in the week, one of the president's advisers, Stephanie Cutter, suggested Romney could be guilty of a "felony" due to the questions that have been raised about the SEC filings.
"Is that what's really expected from the campaign of the sitting president of the United States," Romney asked. "There's no question but that his campaign is putting out information which is false and deceptive and dishonest. And they know it."
Despite being one of the wealthiest presidential nominees in the modern era, Romney also stated he plans to release just two of his tax returns before the November election, the 2010 return already made public by his campaign, and his 2011 return. An estimate of that 2011 return has also been released.
"I know there will always be calls for more. People always want to get more. And you know, we're putting out what is required plus more than that is not required," Romney said.
Referring to the 2010 and 2011 returns, Romney could not be clearer about his plans. "And those are the two years that people are going to have. And that's -- that's all that's necessary for people to understand about my finances," he added.
We asked Romney if he felt he was being "swift-boated," a reference to the Republican attacks on Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's war record in 2004.
"Boy, I hadn't heard that term but I'll give it some thought," Romney said initially to the question.
Several minutes later, unprompted by this reporter, Romney returned to that swift-boating theme.
"If people believe this should be a campaign about attacking one another on a personal basis and go back to the kinds of attacks that were suggested in some campaigns in the past, I don't want to go there."
The question is whether it's too late for both campaigns to avoid going "there" now.

Tuesday NCAA Recap: Bulldog Softball Team Arrives in Oregon
EUGENE, Ore. - With championship aspirations, the Mississippi State softball team traveled 2,439 miles Tuesday to the University of Oregon in preparation for its appearance in the 2012 NCAA Eugene Regional. The Bulldogs (33-22) will take on Western Athletic Conference tournament champions BYU (43-13) at Howe Field at 5 p.m. CT (3 p.m. PT) on Thursday, May 17.
Before the Bulldogs and Cougars could play on the field, the two teams shared a plane. After departing from Golden Triangle Regional Airport near Starkville Tuesday at 9 a.m. CT, the Maroon and White stopped in Provo, Utah, to pick up BYU. Despite the fact that the two teams will compete against each other Thursday, the moment was the first highlight of the trip for MSU first baseman Shelby Fisher and catcher Ka'ili Smith, who were able to catch up with childhood friends that play for BYU.
Upon arrival in Oregon, the team was whisked off to Pre's Rock, an unofficial memorial for Steve Prefontaine, one of the greatest distance runners in American history. There, the team learned about Pre's legendary endurance, mental toughness and winning mentality. Following the trip to Pre's Rock, Starkville's Team spent an hour at a local shopping mall, where Head Coach Vann Stuedeman ran into a former Mississippi State football player from the 1990s. After the surprise visit with the MSU alum, the team checked in to the team hotel, where the city of Eugene welcomed the Maroon and White with open arms.
State's selection to the Big Dance was part of an NCAA-best nine selections from the Southeastern Conference, setting a league record. Regional play begins May 17-20, followed by the Super Regionals on May 24-27. The Women's College World Series is May 31-June 6 in Oklahoma City, Okla. at ASA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium. For more information on the MSU softball program, follow the team on Twitter at @MStateSB and like the team on Facebook at Facebook.com/MStateSB.

The latest news on earmarks
The obsession with earmarks obscures the real, and far more serious scandals of the political system.
Earmarks are too important to be shut down entirely.
Washington Post report shows officials used earmarks for their own financial gain; it wasn't always like that.
Pawlenty takes aim at Santorum's spending record.
Earmarks make for an easy target but are an insignificant portion of the federal budget.
Perry takes aim at Santorum as the former Pennsylvania senator surges in Iowa.
How have the two parties tried to reduce pork barrel spending?
John McCain tweets against costly earmarks, hitting pig waste, maple syrup, and lobbyist receptions.
This is something every American taxpayer should read.
The man with a way with words should have known better.

Val Patterson, of Salt Lake City, died of throat cancer on July 10, at the age of 59. The death notice he wrote for himself appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune this past Sunday.
"Now that I have gone to my reward, I have confessions and things I should now say," Patterson wrote.
He starts out admitting to a crime.
"As it turns out, I AM the guy who stole the safe from the Motor View Drive Inn back in June 1971. I wanted to get it off my chest."
Then he reveals that the PhD on his wall was mailed to him as the result of a paperwork error. In fact, he never even graduated.
"For all of the electronic engineers I have worked with,
I'm sorry, but you have to admit my designs always worked very well, and were well engineered, and I always made you laugh at work."
In the lighthearted letter, which runs nearly 900 words long, Patterson describes a fun and fulfilling life, and thanks his friends, family and pets.
Patterson's wife of 33 years, Mary Jane, told KSL News every word of it is true.
In a final act of contrition, Patterson tells Disneyland and SeaWorld San Diego they can throw away the "banned for life" files they have on him.
"I'm not a problem anymore."

Jan 1, 2013
In his first interview with the foreign or local print media after taking office in December, Mexico's new finance minister Luis Videgaray says he is confident political consensus now exists to shake up state oil company Pemex and overhaul the country's fiscal regime through a bold set of reforms to be carried out this year.
Mexico City, December 14, 2012How would you characterize the Pact for Mexico? What is its central vision?
First and foremost it's an opportunity. It's a broad political agreement to carry out some significant changes in public policy, particularly in economic policy, to make some changes that we all know need to be made on the fiscal side, in energy and in competition, to name a few, that are long overdue.
This is an important achievement, to have an agreement. But the true achievement will be to make it happen. So therefore, the Pact is an opportunity. We want to seize that opportunity.
One of the key elements of the Pact is calling for a broadening of social welfare. Is it fair to say that the Pact is essentially calling for the creation of a welfare state in Mexico?
The Pact is based on the belief that we need...

Who do you expect to be treated better in the resolution of the OGX situation?
At a fundamental level, the issue is how to generate healthy returns in the medium to long term. Policy holders can see their fund go down over the course of a week or a month, but what we really should be looking at is returns over 20 or 30 years.
