Gospel of Matthew
From Wikiquote
The Gospel According to Matthew [Greek: κατὰ Ματθαῖον εὐαγγέλιον, kata Matthaion euangelion, or τὸ εὐαγγέλιον κατὰ Ματθαῖον, to euangelion kata Matthaion] (c. 70 - 110), generally referred to as the Gospel of Matthew or simply Matthew, is one of the four gospels accepted as canon by most Christians, a synoptic gospel, and the first book of the New Testament. It tells of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.

- Sermon on the Mount (Chapters 5, 6, and 7 of Matthew)
- But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
- When ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
- Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
- " Look! I am sending you out as sheep among wolves; so prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves.
- Jesus, in 10:16
- "Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted. LET them be. Blind guides is what they are. If, then, a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit."
- Jesus said to them: "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone that the builders rejected, this has become the chief cornerstone. This has come from Jehovah, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? This is why I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits. Also, the person falling on this stone will be shattered. As for anyone on whom it falls, it will crush him."
- "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" He said to him: "'You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this: 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets."
- "And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
- "When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.
And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
And he will put the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
- New World Translation, Matthew 25: 31-33
- "Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, YOU who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for YOU from the founding of the world.
For I became hungry and YOU gave me something to eat; I got thirsty and YOU gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and YOU received me hospitably;
naked, and YOU clothed me. I fell sick and YOU looked after me. I was in prison and YOU came to me.'
Then the righteous ones will answer him with the words, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty, and give you something to drink?
When did we see you a stranger and receive you hospitably, or naked, and clothe you?
When did we see you sick or in prison and go to you?'
And in reply the king will say to them, 'Truly I say to YOU, To the extent that YOU did it to one of the least of these my brothers, YOU did it to me.'
- New World Translation, Matthew 25: 34-40
- "Then he will say, in turn, to those on his left, 'Be on YOUR way from me, YOU who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels.
For I became hungry, but YOU gave me nothing to eat, and I got thirsty, but YOU gave me nothing to drink.
I was a stranger, but YOU did not receive me hospitably; naked, but YOU did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but YOU did not look after me.'
Then they also will answer with the words, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?'
Then he will answer them with the words, 'Truly I say to YOU, To the extent that YOU did not do it to one of these least ones, YOU did not do it to me.'
And these will depart into everlasting cutting-off, but the righteous ones into everlasting life."

Ross Wolf Rumors
Rangers To Sign Ross Wolf
Right-hander Ross Wolf has inked a minor league deal with the Rangers that includes a Spring Training invite, MLBTR's Tim Dierkes reports on Twitter. The 32-year-old had been a reliever for virtually all of his professional career, but has functioned in a swingman role over the last several seasons.
Wolf spent 2013 with the Rangers, accumulating the most extensive MLB action in his career. Over 47 2/3 frames, including three starts and 19 relief appearances, Wolf carried a 4.15 ERA with 4.0 K/9 against 2.8 BB/9 to go with a strong 47.3% groundball rate. He has also had partial-season runs with the Athletics (2010) and Marlins (2007).
Last year, Wolf exercised an out clause in his deal with Texas to move to Korea. Over 85 1/3 frames with the KBO's SK Wyverns, including 13 appearances as a starter, Wolf pitched to a 4.85 ERA. (That mark is actually above-average for the notoriously hitter-friendly league environment.)

Ross Wolf To Pitch In Korea
The Rangers have announced that pitcher Ross Wolf has exercised an out clause in his minor-league deal, and he will now head to the Korean Baseball Organization to pitch for SK Wyverns. The Rangers outrighted Wolf in early November, and he re-signed a minor-league deal with the team.
Wolf pitched 47 2/3 innings with the Rangers in 2013, posting a 4.15 ERA with 4.0 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9. The 31-year-old last appeared in the big leagues in 2010, pitching a handful of outings with the Athletics. He also briefly appeared with the Marlins in 2007.

Minor Moves: Jones, Twins, Berry, Snyder, Wolf, Blackley
Here are today's outright assignments and minor moves from around the league…
- The Orioles are placing lefty Chris Jones on their 40-man roster, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun tweets. Jones, 25, posted a 2.67 ERA with 6.0 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 in 70 2/3 innings for Triple-A Norfolk this year. The move will prevent them from losing him to minor-league free agency.
- Edgar Ibarra has been added to the Twins' 40-man roster, the team announced today. The 24-year-old Venezuelan left-hander posted a 1.93 ERA with 8.0 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 in 60 2/3 innings of relief between Double-Aand Triple-A this season. By adding Ibarra to the 40-man roster, the Twins ensure that he cannot be selected in next month's Rule 5 Draft.
- The Twins have also re-signed Wilkin Ramirez, Dan Rohlfing, Aaron Thompson, Jermaine Mitchell, Lester Oliveros, Doug Bernier and James Beresford to minor league contracts with invites to Spring Training, tweets MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger. Ramirez and Bernier each saw time with the big league club in 2013, and Oliveros was one of two pitchers received from the Tigers in exchange for Delmon Young in 2011.
- The Red Sox announced that they have outrighted outfielder Quintin Berry and infielder Brandon Snyder off their 40-man roster. Both are now free agents after spending the majority of this past season at Triple-A. Snyder hit .261/.332/.454 with 10 homers in the minors, while Berry slashed just .191/.309/.257 with three homers and 30 steals in 34 tries at Triple-A.
- Right-hander Ross Wolf has re-signed with the Rangers on a minor league contract with an invitation to 2014 Spring Training, the team announced. The 31-year-old posted a 4.15 ERA in 22 appearances (three starts) for Texas in 2013, averaging 4.0 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 in 47 2/3 innings. Wolf had been outrighted off the 40-man roster and cleared waivers before re-signing.
- In other Rangers news, left-hander Travis Blackley was also outrighted off the 40-man roster and elected free agency. In 50 1/3 innings between the Rangers and Astros, compiling a 4.83 ERA with 7.2 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9.
- The Padres announced that they have outrighted left-hander Tommy Layne to Triple-A Tucson. Layne, 29, pitched 8 2/3 innings of 2.08 ERA ball for the Padres in his second big league stint this season. He has a 4.50 ERA with 6.1 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9 in 704 career minor league innings between the Padres and Diamondbacks, who traded him to San Diego for cash considerations in the 2011-12 offseason. Layne was designated for assignment along with fellow lefty Colt Hynes to make roster space for Cory Luebke and Joe Wieland as they returned from the 60-day DL. Hynes has since been acquired by the Indians.

Minor Moves: Rivera, Miller, Wolf, Thurston
Keeping track of the day's minor moves…
- The Red Sox signed catcher Mike Rivera, according to the Long Island Ducks' official website. Rivera had been playing with the independent team after being released by the Brewers during Spring Training. The 35-year-old catcher has 605 plate appearances over nine Major League seasons, mostly with Milwaukee.
- The Rangers released Justin Miller, Anthony Andro of FOXSportsSouthwest tweets. The right-hander has a partial tear of his right UCL.
- The Orioles released right-hander Ross Wolf, MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli tweets. Wolf, 29, posted a 4.76 ERA with 6.7 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 in 73 2/3 innings of relief for Houston's top affiliate last year.
- The Phillies released Joe Thurston, Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer tweets. Thurston signed with the Phillies last month after the Astros released him late in Spring Training. The 32-year-old has a .226/.305/.323 line in 384 MLB plate appearances with the Dodgers, Phillies, Red Sox, Cardinals and Marlins. He has appeared in one MLB game since 2009.

Astros Notes: Wade, Infielders, Wolf
Houston GM Ed Wade discussed some offseason plans with Dan Duqette and Kevin Kennedy on MLB Network Radio. Here are a few of the major topics…
- "We need to figure out a way to improve offensively," Wade said. He noted that the Astros are looking for a left-handed hitter and may either look internally or wait until later in the offseason to find left-handed bats "that fit our profile both from a performance and an economic standpoint."
- The "primary external focus" is to find better-hitting middle infielders, though Wade said he was happy with Jeff Keppinger's play last season.
- Wade is pleased with Houston's 2011 rotation but "everybody's always looking for the starting pitcher. We'd love to be able to replicate the Brett Myers experience of last year where you get the guy in a one-year deal and he finds his groove the way that Brett did for us."
In other Astros news, Zachary Levine of the Houston Chronicle reports the club extended spring training invites to eight players, three of whom weren't with Houston last season. One is Casey Fien, whose acquisition was reported yesterday, and the other two newcomers are right-handers Ross Wolf and Fernando Rodriguez. Wolf posted a 4.26 ERA in 11 appearances with Oakland last season after coming over from the Orioles in the Jake Fox trade last June. Rodriguez has pitched in the Angels system since 2003, and has just one major league appearance to his credit.

Hermida, Wolf Elect Free Agency
Jeremy Hermida and Ross Wolf elected free agency today after the A's outrighted them to Triple-A, according to the team. Left-hander Brad Kilby was also outrighted, but he did not elect free agency.
The A's signed Hermida to a minor league deal in September, after he spent most of the season in the Red Sox organization. The 26-year-old posted an overall line of .216/.268/.351 in 239 plate appearances this year. Five offseasons ago, Baseball America ranked him fourth among all prospects, but Hermida has yet to be an impact player for a full major league season. He posted an .870 OPS in 123 games for the 2007 Marlins, but has struggled to match that level of production since.
The A's acquired Wolf from the Orioles for Jake Fox in June. Wolf turns 28 next week and is coming off a season in which he threw just 12.2 major league innings. The righty posted a 4.26 ERA with 6.4 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 this year. In the minor leagues, Wolf posted a 2.62 ERA with twice as many strikeouts as walks, so he appears to have some value as an organizational arm.

To Mom & Dad: Thanks for giving me a life outdoors
Thursday, September 19th, 2013
On December 22, 1982 – my 9th birthday – my parents bucked a trend that would ultimately shape who I'd become as an individual. The trend they bucked? My dad gave up his good paying city job outside of Detroit to move our family into the rural woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I became a "Yooper." From that point forward, my life included ruffed grouse, a Brittany named "Tinker," musky fishing, canoeing, and camping. Growing up in the country was the greatest birthday gift I would ever receive.
Unfortunately, the opposite decision – to move to the city – is the norm for most families in today's society. In my opinion, this is the singular catalyst that has set a domino of other trends in motion; all leading to one disturbing truth that's got me and everyone else passionate about hunting and fishing shaking in our Irish Setters – kids today don't spend time in the outdoors like we used to when we were youngsters.
Now, don't take this as a condemnation of city life. I fully recognize the cultural, economic, and societal advantages associated with living in an urban area. However, the city life has made getting outdoors complicated. My generation's dangerous Red Ryder BB gun is no match for the dangers lurking in America's alley today. Our children's safety and the fear associated with their protection have made organized, sanctioned activities, team sports, dance lessons, and video games a safe alternative to 24-hour surveillance. Again, don't take this as a condemnation of baseball, hockey, football, or dance. I cherish my own Little League memories.
The point is today's youngsters don't get home from school, grab a fishing pole and head to the river like I did just two decades ago. "Big deal," you may retort. You may even point a finger and call me a "latch key kid;" yes that dreaded stereotype from the '80s. Well, it's those "latch key" trips to the river or through the grouse woods where I learned about nature, the land, myself, and life. I found snapping turtles laying eggs, uncovered salamanders, caught smallmouth bass on orange jointed Rapalas, and bagged flushing ruffed grouse with my Ithaca Model 37. It was a utopian environment for any kid to grow up within. A utopia that's difficult to find out the door of most youngsters' homes today.
I don't have the answer to reversing this trend and I'm not sure that anyone does. But, I do believe the trend does need to be reversed. I'll leave you with one final thought – "If those of us who care about wildlife and our hunting traditions don't take the initiative to pass down our passion for the outdoors, then who will?"

South Molle Island
South Molle Island Arch McArthur Golf Club
Arriving to your golf course by boat is half the fun of this trip. At the end of the long wooden jetty at South Molle Island you抣l meander through tropical gardens with swaying palms and bobbing hibiscus before it opens out onto the nine hole Arch McArthur golf course.
Set at the foot of a wall of national park forest the course seems somewhat diminutive. Size and length are not its highlights it's only 1254m, so 18 holes will take just under two hours to play. There are seven par 3s and two par 4s with the longest hole being 258m. I'st short, fun, and would be a great challenge in a three club competition. At the club house you will note the names of past champions, including former women world no. 1 Karrie Webb.

Redefine Success in Your Life
It was the year 2000. I was at my first 'real' job with a major international company. I thought this is my time, my career would finally be launching and I would be living the professional life, having it all. Instead, I worked long hours, gained weight and was under a tremendous amount of stress. A few months later, I ended up taking a stress leave from the job.

For Roxana Delgado of El Paso, TX, every day brings reminders of the little things she and her husband have lost. In 1996 she fell in love with Victor Medina, and she remains devoted to him. But while he looks about the same as he did on their wedding day, functionally there's little comparison. "Victor was the smartest man I'd ever met," Roxana says of the onetime accountant and Army sergeant first class who was hit by an explosive projectile in Iraq in 2009. "I fell in love with one brain, but the one he brought back from overseas operated at around a seventh-grade level," she says. "He couldn't drive; he couldn't remember things."
Though it's difficult for her to say out loud, Roxana concedes that Victor's condition initially made it more like having a child at home than having a partner. And though traces of old Victor crop up, she's always jolted back to reality. "In the early days, I'd look at him and think, Oh, hey, it's Victor! Then I'd have to remind myself that it wasn't the same guy, and that this guy really needs my help."
He will likely never become totally self-sufficient. One hobgoblin of TBI is that a patient's needs often grow, not lessen, once the soldier returns home. And while improvements can be made with occupational therapy, full recovery is rare. "With Victor we were blessed," says Roxana. "He's developed a lot of independence, which means I haven't had to transform my whole life like a lot of wives had to. But there are parts of my husband's personality that will never come back. That's been hard on me, sure. But imagine what it's been like for him? As much as I miss the old Victor, well, he misses the old Victor too."
The "Is this it?" factor represents a particularly difficult struggle for caregivers, says Judy Myers, caregiver support coordinator at the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System in California. She says that caregivers of all ages (there are also a large percentage of mothers who take care of sons coming back from war) start out enthusiastic because their loved one may look totally normal, and then after years of slow progress they'll think, Is this really as good as it's going to get?
Of course, for some military families, other catastrophic physical injuries mean that TBI is just one part of their troubles. Ivonne Thompson was 29 years old and 20 weeks pregnant when she got a call telling her that her husband, Anthony, a 25-year-old corpsman with the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, had been blown off a highway overpass near Fallujah when a suicide bomber passed underneath it in a dump truck. Told at first that Anthony's spinal cord was severed, Ivonne remembers thinking, I couldn't care less if he walks. I just want his mind to be okay. She was devastated when doctors told her he'd suffered brain and spinal injuries that prohibited him from talking, walking, or moving at all.
Anthony was transferred to a polytrauma unit in Tampa, FL. To bathe him, Ivonne used a lift system that allowed her to roll him into the shower. "The nurses would have done it," she says, "but it was our time, our way of being intimate." Eight weeks after arriving in Tampa, Ivonne gave birth to their son, Anthony Jr. "It was bittersweet," she says. "Anthony was so looking forward to having a child. To have him not able to be there--it sucked, really."
After four years in the hospital, Ivonne brought Anthony home to Houston, where it seemed like a lifetime ago that she'd had a job she loved teaching high school Spanish. Today, Anthony still doesn't move or talk. Though she has nursing help, Ivonne shoulders most of the burden. Like many caregivers, she is faced with a situation in which her partner now needs far more help than her young child. She gets Anthony in and out of bed and works alongside his physical therapists. She makes sure he participates in birthday parties and holidays. They used to be avid moviegoers, she says, so she still wheels him to the theater and sits in the dark holding his hand.
Partners like Ivonne provide tenderness a nurse or social worker never could. If there's anything they neglect, it's themselves. "The VA offers respite services for those in the role of care for veterans," says Myers. "Someone will sit with the soldier so the caregiver can go out--see a friend, get a haircut, anything." But most don't allow themselves to take that break. "In the last year, only three of the 88 families in my district have asked for the services," Myers says.

Director of Communications
Florida Board of Education
From the desk of Jim Horne, Secretary
SPECIAL EDITION for 2002 Regular Session of the Legislature
"Education, Education, Education."
-- Florida Commissioner of Education Charlie Crist Responding to Governor Jeb Bush's 2002 State of the State Address
Governor Bush's State of the State Highlights Continued Commitment to Education
Unveils proposals focused on reading, security, and technology
Governor Jeb Bush delivered his State of the State address this week on the opening day of the 2002 Legislative Session, outlining his continued commitment to Florida students at all levels. Here are some of the highlights:
READING INITIATIVE -- Working in coordination with the success of the A+ Plan, Governor Bush proposed investing more than $50 million in state and federal funds to enhance reading in kindergarten through 8th grade. This money will go toward professional development for teachers and innovative reading programs for students. "If education is the foundation of success in our state, then reading is the foundation of education," Governor Bush said.
ENDING SOCIAL PROMOTION -- Governor Bush proposed strengthening social promotion language to ensure that Florida's school districts comply with the law that was passed as part of the A+ Plan. "There should be consequences for school districts that continue to circumvent the law," said Governor Bush. "Enforcing the social promotion portion of the A+ Plan law is a commitment to never wash our hands of a child's future."
Education funding has increased nearly $4 billion during Governor Bush's administration.
In 1999, there were 78 "F" schools in Florida. Today, two years into the Governor's A+ Plan for education, there are no failing schools.
In 1999, only 21 percent of Florida schools were high-performing ("A" or "B" schools). Today, 41 percent of the schools are high-performing –- nearly double the number in just two years. This translates into a first-rate education for thousands of Florida schoolchildren.
TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE -- Governor Bush is proposing the creation of the Florida Technology Development Initiative, providing $100 million to build centers of excellence among our universities dedicated to the key research necessary for building our promising technology sectors. "New facilities, laboratories, and endowed academic chairs will be the catalysts for entrepreneurial investment," said Governor Bush. "If we seize this opportunity, the best and the brightest academics, researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs will call Florida home. And they in turn will help build businesses that will fuel our economy for the next century."
Legislative Priorities of the Florida Board of Education
- Consolidate / Revise and Clarify the Florida School Code to reflect the new
governance structure
Adopt the Florida Board of Education's recommendations on revisions to the school code. Work with the Legislature to consolidate, revise and clarify statutes in the Florida School Code to reflect the new governance structure.
Recommend changes to make the Florida School Code more parent/student/user friendly.
- Transition the Education Governance Structure and Delivery Systems to reflect
Florida's new Education System
Empower the state universities with institutional independence.
Devolve initial powers and duties for University Boards of Trustees to allow for local governance similar to what is established for local Community College Boards of Trustees.
Continue the implementation of the merger of the Department of Education and related governance boards.
- Provide Maximum Funding Flexibility with Accountability to Local Education Boards
Support on a case-by-case basis additional efforts by the K-20 education system to achieve funding flexibility.
Assist the Community College System in achieving its goal of getting the CCPF funding model into statute.
Modify the current need-based financial aid program to allow for use by part-time as well as full-time students.
Work with the Community College System to consolidate and clarify current matching grants programs.
- 4. Support the Governor's budget initiatives to provide additional funding for Florida's K-20 education system
Community Colleges Honors Lawmakers Who Have Taken the "Road More Traveled"
The Council of Florida Community College Presidents, the Community College Board of Trustees and the Florida Association of Community Colleges honored the 47 current Florida legislators whose postsecondary education includes attending a Florida Community College. "It speaks volumes about the strength and impact community colleges have on the lives of Floridians that nearly 30 percent of our current legislature attended a community college," said David Armstrong Interim Chancellor for the Division of Community Colleges. We appreciate the support these lawmakers and others have demonstrated as one of the hundreds of thousands of Floridians who have taken the education 'road more traveled.' "
For a complete list of honorees, visit the Division of Community Colleges website.
Florida Board of Education Defines Strategic Imperatives
The Florida Board of Education outlined seven Strategic Imperatives as the top priorities for education in Florida. The priorities reflect the four goal areas of the state's K-20 Education structure and will serve as the framework for the first statewide, seamless education strategic plan. The top strategic imperatives for education are:
- Increasing the supply of highly qualified K-12 instructors
- Increasing the rate of learning and completion at all levels, especially high school, and increasing the percentage of high school graduates, especially low-income and minority students, who enter postsecondary education without remediation.
- Applying existing academic standards at all levels consistently.
- Aligning financial resources with the performance expectations at each level of the K-20 system.
- Setting and aligning academic standards for every level of the K-20 education system.
- Improving the quality of school leadership at all levels.
- Appropriately aligning the workforce's education with the skill requirements of the new economy.
FBOE Approves Workgroups on K-20 Accountability and Postsecondary Education Funding
The Florida Board of Education has approved the creation of two workgroups to look closer at issues at the center of the state's new student-centered governance structure: accountability and postsecondary funding.
K-20 Accountability Workgroup -- This workgroup will recommend a project plan and timeline for the recommendation of K-20 performance measures, standards, measurements, reporting, and rewards and sanctions linked to performance. The workgroup will have a diverse membership representing different constituencies but who possess some background public education policy, assessment, measurement, or education accountability systems. The workgroup members should share an interest in developing recommendations that will comply with statutory requirements of s. 229.007, which provides the legislative framework for a comprehensive accountability system. These include representatives of Higher Education Accountability, College and University Boards of Trustees, Institutional President, Students, Council for Education Policy Research and Improvement, Council of 100, One Florida Accountability Commission, Workforce Development, Independent Education Sector, Public School Superintendent, School Board Member, Florida Chamber of Commerce, Floridians for School Choice, Faculty Representative, School Readiness Partnership, Testing and measurement Specialist, Evaluation Specialist, and a Legislator. A significant outcome of this project and the one developing recommendations on higher education funding is the development of performance funding models that comply with statutory requirements. The two task forces will be regularly interacting and sharing progress to facilitate this outcome. The final report will be due to the Board by June 30, 2002.
Higher Education Funding Workgroup -- The Workgroup will advise the Secretary on the development of a project plan and timeline for comprehensive recommendations on postsecondary funding, including reviewing current state funding, student fee levels and the availability of financial aid to facilitate access to postsecondary education; providing greater flexibility to university boards to use student fees to meet the growth needs of the institutions. The workgroup will evaluate "What is" in terms of Florida's funding policies for postsecondary education, "What should be" in terms of desired levels of performance, results and funding; and determine and quantify the difference between "What should be" and "What is." The Advisory Council will include members such as a University President, Community College President, postsecondary student, and faculty member, Certified Public Accountant; representatives of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Independent Colleges and Universities, Independent Education, a Business Association; a Senator, a Representative, University Board of Trustees, Community College Board of Trustees, the Florida Council of 100, Florida Prepaid College Program, the Workforce Community, and the State University System Policy Center advisory council. The final recommendations will be completed by July 15, 2002.
Defining Devolution
In moving toward full devolution of authority to university boards of trustees, it is important to define what is meant by devolution. The following is provided by the Florida Board of Education to provide consistency when discussing devolution:
EMPOWERING THE NEW GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE -- Empower the state universities with institutional independence. University boards of trustees are already defined as bodies corporate and have been given initial powers and duties. Statutes should be updated to include a provision for universities similar to what community colleges have in section 240.317, FS, providing legislative intent that universities are public entities of the state, operated by boards of trustees and that no department, bureau, division, agency or subdivision of the state exercises responsibility or authority to operate the local institution except as specified by law and, the rules of the State Board of Education
OPERATIONAL INDEPENDENCE -- Local Employer: Universities and their boards of trustees should be empowered with the authority to be the employer for the institution. This would include the ability to set up their own personnel programs, to establish governing terms and conditions of employment, to be the "body" for collective bargaining purposes with the authority to resolve disputed impasse issues, and, the ability to clarify and coordinate the strategic planning functions of the university.
OPERATIONAL INDEPENDENCE -- Local Fiscal Agent: Universities and their boards of trustees should be empowered with the authority to be the employer and the fiscal agent for the institution. This would include granting authority for university boards of trustees to establish procurement programs which anticipate the university as both purchaser and provider of goods and services, the ability for institutions, within legislative guidelines, to have authority to borrow funds and incur debt, enter into lease-purchase agreements and the approval and issuance of revenue bonds for university specific projects, the ability to collect, deposit and expend funds. After a complete FBOE review of tuition, financial aid and fees policy, the UBOTs should be given the authority, within FBOE and Legislative established guidelines, to set tuition and fee policy for the local institution.

Under that label, he produced a compilation album titled Dr. Dre Presents the Aftermath in 1996, and released a solo album titled 2001 in 1999, for which he won the Grammy producer's award the next year.

Sydney, Australia (SportsNetwork.com) - Aron Price shot 2-under-par 70 on Sunday to claim a 4-stroke victory at the NSW Open.
Price, a winner on the Web.com Tour in 2008, finished 72 holes at 19-under- par 269 and earned his first professional victory on home soil.
Adam Bland fired a 67 at Castle Hill Country Club to finish in a tie for second place at 15-under alongside Jack Wilson and Aaron Townsend, who both carded 68s.
Bryden MacPherson (68) and Jun-Seok Lee (68) shared fifth at 14-under, while PGA Tour player Steven Bowditch stumbled to a 76 and ended in a tie for seventh with three others at minus-13.
Bowditch shared the overnight lead with Price, but the former managed just two birdies against four bogeys and a double bogey on Sunday to drop out of contention.
With Bowditch out of the picture, Price cruised to victory, notching birdies at the first and 15th during his bogey-free victory lap.

It's Christmas Eve, the night Italians often celebrate the birthing of the little baby Jesus. This event is quite significant, especially if you are to judge by their crèche or manger scenes; something we Americans can only remember with nostalgia of days of yore.
But you see, Italians are nothing if not highly literal people; especially given their long history of language, discourse and oratory, starting with Latin and Lord knows what languages even before. And so it is with their manger scenes.
When I first came to Italy, I thought all those presepe showing an old Giuseppe and his young wife looking fondly down on a heap of hay; standard issue donkey, sheep and even the Three Kings in the distance, was simply yet another indication of Italians' poor planning: someone forgot the Baby Jesus!!!
After seeing this a few more times, I thought: 'Okay, someone's stealing the Baby Jesus!!'
But then, I finally figured it out: although this is a country in which, despite their favorite pastime being not soccer, but deciphering the meaning between the lines, someone always warns you before any sort of irony or sarcasm is forthcoming. Article after article, conversation after conversation, they warn, just like the Robot in Lost in Space: "Danger! Guglielmo Robinson! Giovanni said, with a note of irony…" Here, unless forewarned, and if no hidden meaning is there, they take the sentence for what it is fully worth.
And so, little Baby Jesus never shows up on the manger scene until the stroke of midnight. Although you'll always find him looking more like an 18 month old, than a cone-headed newborn, bright eyed and chubby on Christmas morn. I've just discovered that those three kings, though smaller in size, to represent distance, actually creep up day by day, until January 6th (the Epiphany, for you pagans out there) when they bestow their gifts on the Baby Jesus.
What I don't get is -- why they don't swap then, a very pregnant Mary for a less pregnant mamma (and perhaps decidedly exhausted one due to labor pains whilst riding a donkey) the next day, too. I guess they're not that literal after all.
Buon Natale a Tutti!
F. Maggi (decidedly not Magi, like those three wise men!)

WASHINGTON - Virginia is close to following the lead of D.C. and Maryland when it comes to texting while driving as a law regarding the issue heads down the final stretch, with one final hurdle to clear.
On Wednesday, the Virginia General Assembly will reconvene for one day. Both the House of Delegates and the Senate will vote on changes the governor made to bills that were passed during the regular session, one of which outlaws texting while driving.
Del. Rich Anderson from Prince William County sponsored the bill, which would elevate texting while driving to a primary offense, like it is in Maryland and D.C.
One of the amendments Gov. Bob McDonnell made to the bill after it was initially passed by both sides of the General Assembly would make the fine for texting while driving the same as it is for other offenses, like driving while drunk and reckless driving.
"I think it's long overdue," Anderson says. "A lot of other people get credit in previous years (for) trying to get this through."

The box has one label that says size L and a second label that says size XL2X fitting men's shoe sizes 13-15! I don't know what size these socks are. If my husband tries them on and they are HUGE, will I be able to return them? November 4, 2014
TravelSox I like the concept of these socks, and the quality and color are good, but the foot was a little large for me, the knee socks too long, and the band too tight below my knee. I returned them; however, I would recommend the item if someone can get the correct fit. October 17, 2014
works! As an airline pilot who flies a lot of long-haul routes with many 12 -17 hour ocean crossings, I encounter long periods of sitting despite adequate rest opportunities. After trying these socks on several trips now, I am convinced that they improve blood circulation in the legs and inhibit swelling. Even though I think the socks are way to expensive, they may be necessary to support my vascular health. Due to the high cost I am only wearing them during the long flights to get more time out of them. October 6, 2011

Good Insurance I have taken these TravelSox on several 10-hour flights and have never had a swelling problem so I believe they are good insurance. My wife always 'borrows' a pair of mine for the flights. We can feel the graduated compression... Which is a good thing on the flight but I find them difficult to put on and to pull up over my (heavier) calves since the top section has the most compression. One can wear these sox for daily needs on-tour because standing around demands extra support, too; however, the fabric is thin (washes and dries very well) but does not provide much padding for walking. I take Coolmax-blend walking socks for most of my daily wearing needs. April 7, 2011
Good socks despite some fit issues I must have the fattest legs in North America because every knee sock I try is too tight at the top. I routinely find the stitching where the top folds into a cuff and remove it. With these socks that does the trick, thank goodness, though I do still have to get a size too large for my foot to accommodate my enormous legs (which really do not look much bigger than normal). That said, I do like these socks: they are more substantial and easier to put on than compression stockings but not as thick as Jobst compression socks, which require me to buy shoes a half size larger. The socks are comfortable and, once I make my alterations, do not bind at all at the top as most socks do. I'm going to buy more of them and get rid of some of the leg-stranglers in my sock drawer. October 7, 2013
Not what I needed My husband has edema, and these socks don't have enough compression. otherwise they are very good looking, and the quality of the material and construction are excellent. September 10, 2014
Great socks These socks are true to fit. Just use your shoe size to order. The socks are comfortable and will be terrific for any long flight. The khaki is a great color. August 27, 2014

A word from L'Entrecote de Paris
France is known for its two famous secret formulas. The first, being the eclectic potion of the druid. A panoramix so powerful it provided superhuman strength to the irreducible Gauls Asterix and Obelix. The other, is the authentic sauce recipe that furnishes all the famed entrecote dishes served at renowned restaurants known to all Parisians. A taste so striking and memorable, that its creators have decided this, would be the only course served at their restaurants. Of which, they were distinctively within reason. Because, with a dish so good on the menu, is there a need for another? For over 50 years, the succulent sliced entrecote, served with fries and covered with the Secret Sauce, has made such one dish restaurants some of the most coveted around the world. Always crowded and with queues at its doors for its lunch and dinner times, seven days a week. This is an unforgettable and mandatory experience for the lover of good food that we can now enjoy here at L'Entrecôte de Paris.Continued

- Not L'EntrecoteOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/23/2014I have been to L'Entrecote in Paris and Relais d Venise L'Entrecote in NYC. This one in Miami is a poor at best rendition of the real thing. The salad is not the usual vinegarette. The sauce on the meat was not even close to that served in the other venues. There was not a hint of Tarragon that is the key to the L'Entrecote sauce. We were totally disappointed and will never return.
- Love this restaurantFelipePradoVIPDined on 10/26/2014From Brasil and the sane stile of service as in France, L'Entrecote is amazing. Their fries and steak sauce there are no comparison!!! Great service and reasonable price!! Ahh don't forget the unlimited fries!!! To die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/20/2014Basic Steak and Frites, they try to make it Paris but just doesn't work with the latin influence of the staff. Food was enjoyable, and I would go back but not too often because of limited menuSpecial Features:
- L'Entrecote de Paris in BrickellCMartinoDined on 10/11/2014Nothing at all like the chain in Paris. Doesn't even come close to comparing. The restaurant does have a lovely ambiance and decent service but lacked the French charm as no one was French or spoke French. We started off with the charcuterie and cheese plate which was good, followed by the french onion soup which was quite delicious. Unfortunately, the highlight of the menu was truly disappointing. The steak lacked flavor and seemed like it was boiled as it didn't have any color. It was also extremely dry. Wish we spent the $200 elsewhere.Special Features:
- True Paris Steak & FritesTMfromTODined on 10/5/2014The closest you'll find to the original "Relais de L'Entrecote" steak & frites restaurant in Paris - for those lucky enough to have savoured the original sauce they drench their steaks and frites with, you now have that true French taste right here in Miami - finally! L'Entrecote de Paris in Miami is authentic all around - its food, restaurant atmosphere and warm service. A great place for a romantic dinner, lunch with friends or a private room in the back for larger groups, this is a truly unique Miami find. Enjoy - bon appetite!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Accomodating staffcitycasDined on 9/28/2014Went very early evening and place was extremely quiet. Food is good (but not stunning) and they were a little inconsiderate for kids. Plates v hot, didn't offer sauce on the side, no ketchup. Having said that, they did take back the kids steaks that had been slathered in sauce, and replaced them.
- Terrific Food and Servicewss25Dined on 9/26/2014The menu is limited but the food is excellent. The effort to provide terrific service is outstanding. Wine list within reason. Recommend the extra effort to get there.Special Features:
- Steak and FriesBarbVIPDined on 8/30/2014Had tried their streak and fries at the Brickell Food Festival witch I though were very well done. The restaurant was a different story. The steak very overcooked; ate our bread and salad before the Sangria arrived ( service not great). Will not be going back.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/16/2014We were the only 2 in the restaurant at 5:00 PM. We ordered before dinner drinks. We had ordered an appetizer. Before we were done with the drinks, our salad came. We have been here before and enjoyed everything, but this time might be the last After the salad our appetizer came. The service went from bad to worse. American waiters need to take classes like the French. French waiters (this is their JOB) and they do it well. American waiters are waiting for a better job.

- Very Good Food Outstanding Service!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/26/2014We were in Paris last September and went to the namesake restaurant twice. The Paris restaurant is outstanding with lines out the door. The menu is basically the same. The steak was excellent with the portion size quite ample. In Paris the initial steak serving was smaller but the waitress was close by to refill the plate with both steak and fries. The special sauce was somewhat different than we recalled from the Paris restaurant. It would be nice if they could recreate the sauce more precisely. The crème caramel and fruit tart with ice cream were excellent. What was better in Miami was the most attentive and friendly service we have experienced anywhere! We will definitely return with continued anticipation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DissapointedRoMiDined on 7/19/2014For being a place with only ONE item on their menu, we were quite dissapointed. The meat looked boiled and cold even though it was grilled and hot. The taste was just OK, the sauce for the steak was our saviour but for $26 we have had much better meat nearly everywhere else. French fries were unlimited but not freshly cooked. Our server was great, but unfortunately due to the quality of the food, we wont be going back to this place again.
- Terrible serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/18/2014The service was terrible, food came cold and for only having one thing in the menue it should not take 1 hour to be served. The sauce is nothing like the real one. Will never go back
- Worste Experience in Years #LetDownLoveGoodfoodDined on 7/18/2014We went to a restaurant in Paris w/ the same name. In Paris the food was amazing, service was quick and we really enjoyed our time although it was very busy. We were excited to go to this restaurant with our friends who had also been in Paris. Unfortunately THIS PLACE SUCKS. What a let down and terrible experience. The waiter didn't know the drink menu. The bartender did not know the drink menu. They were incredibly slow all around. The waiter's English was terrible (which I don't mind, but he didn't even try - we had 4 languages between us and would've been happy to work with him). There was a large fly making rounds indoors. There were small flies in 2 of the drinks. Valet was falsely advertised as free. Auto-tip was offensive. #Fail
- DeliciousJulioLFDined on 7/14/2014Very limited menu, but its the best steak and fries. The deserts are mandatory. Wonderful outdoor space.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what we expected.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/21/2014French fries; if that was the ONLY item on the menu, WHY CAN'T they be fresh cut. AT LEAST GIVE US THAT. And please, why can't the wine bottle be opened in front of me. At my table. The sauce? Meh ! Put some flavor in it.
- Perfect butMCCSJKDined on 6/7/2014Folks, I've my lunch there and was perfect. The food is awesome and the dressing is so juicy. You can ask for extra french fries and much as you can. The only problem that I've was related if the new hour operation. At least during Saturday day open just at 2 pm and go on till close. Through OpenTable website I did my reservation to 1 pm so after I arrive I need to wait for 1 hour. Disregarding this I recommend the restaurant.Special Features:
- Great lunchDisappointedVIPDined on 5/23/2014There is only one thing on the menu so it's got to be good right? YES!!! They got it right - the service was good and the wine was yummy and affordable. A great spot for a lunch treat without breaking the bank.Special Features:
- JeannetteDined on 5/11/2014Excelente!! Cumplió con mis expectativas en cuanto al clásico Entrecote, divino!!!! Los postres excelentes también!! El piso de cerámica lo hace un poco ruidoso...pero hay buen ambiente y buena atención!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just OKRichardDined on 4/25/2014Went on Friday. Bread was good, mustard was great, butter was good, olive spread was good, wine was good, salad was plain, steak was good, sauce was contrived, frites were good and dessert was good. When you only serve one thing it had better be outstanding and I do not think its there. My advice would be to sharpen up the sauce and the salad dressing. Service was confused. Three times the food runner stopped at our table with someone else's food. Its an OK restaurant, but I will not be hurrying back.Special Features:
- DissapointingAnnieVIPDined on 4/23/2014The lunch menu was a fiasco, the salad was wilted, terrible dressing tasteless. Steak & frittes a total dissapointment. French fries were not crispy. The service the worst, it took for ever.Special Features:
- ExcellentGismondaVIPDined on 4/11/2014Great service, very friendly and helpful. My steak was cooked as requested, medium and was delicious. Also they jave a cheese board, which rounds of your steak meal perfectly. Thank youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't expect the Paris versiontammyxonDined on 4/5/2014We went with great expectations because the Paris original restaurant is a favorite. The main disappointments: the sauce, not like the original, this one has a creamy consistency. Although it's not bad, I had higher expectations. Also a disappointment: they did not replicate the whole experience where they bring you a tray with warmers, so your food stays warm while you are eating the first half of the meal. They failed also with the ambience, not cozy, not French. On the good side: the French Fries, were excellent! The meat was also very good. Service was very good as well.Special Features:
- Good Food!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/30/2014The food was very good, however they need more waitrees. They only had one waitrees for all the tables and is not enough. The waitrees was very nice but we needed to ask her things twice or three times. It was not her fault and she was doing what she can. I think with one or two more waitrees the service can improve a lot.Special Features:
- The meat was excellent, tastyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/29/2014The meat was excellent, tasty and tender but the wine selection was limited. Good place for maybe a romantic encounter or special occasion.Special Features:
- great for the l'entrecote, frites!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/22/2014A traditional french restaurant serving steak / frites! as standard consistent french fare.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Only one course but the meat,MIAEMMAVIPDined on 3/21/2014Only one course but the meat, the fries and most of all the secret sauce are excellent ! Service very nice and attentive.Special Features:
- A little confusingScrapyDined on 3/8/2014I am not sure if the secret sauce is the same as the one i tasted in Switzerland Geneva and Paris. The sauce seemed to be creamy compared to the other two places. Also , it didn't have the same system as the ones i went to but that s not the main problem. I still think it s a fair place. I will go back to check again maybe after i tasted the one in NY to compare.Special Features:
- great place for a great pricefrenchfoodieVIPDined on 2/25/2014I've been coming to this place since it opened last year and they get better Everytime I go back. The have added things to the menu, so you have different first course options. the sauce has really improved since the first time I went, and the executive menu is great and for a great price. the profiteroles are amazing, it is my favorite plate heret. also, for $6 you get an amazing glass of the wine of the house. I would really reccomend this place if you like a quiet place with good and simple classic entrecôte.Special Features:
- French Fries?OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/14/2014Not really your typical French restaurant. No variety of food selection and they serve French fries with their main entree. Really?!?! French Fries?
- DisappointedMarylouDined on 2/14/2014We had lunch on Valentine's Day at the restaurant. We went to L'Entrecote in Paris last year and we loved! But here was very disappointing, food was OK. Service was good. They try to make the restaurant look like of a French bistro, but they did not succeed at all! I would not recommend. There are many other better places to eat in Miami.
- After a second visitOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/13/2014This is a place to go if you really like meat. No other options are available. Be sure that you have reviewed the menu before you make your reservation. The entrecôte is very well cooked and the French fries are the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I went because I rememberedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/11/2014I went because I remembered the restaurant of The same name in Miami beach from the 90's. The meat is Really average. The fries too. The service was Very good though.
- dissapointedCLARAFROMSURFSIDEDined on 2/1/2014there were 4 of us... we did not like the salad that comes with the dinner... very small very boring salad and the dressing tasted like horse radish and water... I sent mine back and ordered it with oil and balsamic.... the meat was plentiful but tasted like nothing even the sauce on it was like nothing... the meat tasted like they made it in the microwave... no grilling or anything that was sizzled...the fries were very good... the desserts were ok only... we ordered the tart tatan and it was too soggy( the bottom was not a good quality dough) and the apples had too much cloves...too much money and not enough good taste... not going back...too bad the place was nice inside and the service was great....
- This Is Not ParisgoldenoakDined on 1/31/2014I was very disappointed with the food. It is not even close to what is served by in Paris. They are really missing the mark with the sauce they use at this location. If you have never dined at their Paris location, then you will not know the difference. However, if you have dined at the Paris location and like me, you are looking for that same taste with the sauce, you will be extremely disappointed. The service is excellent so they have this part right!
- the quality of the steak wasmiamifoodieDined on 1/27/2014the quality of the steak was not great. salad was just ok.fries were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everything is right but...KatsumotoVIPDined on 1/23/2014They have done a good job with the Entrecot concept except I found the beef itself just a bit short of expectationsSpecial Features:
- Not bad but not as good as expectedJCBHIDined on 1/23/2014Having dined at other L'Entrecotes in London and Paris we were expecting the same quality of food. The fries were great but the signature steak dish and sauce were just ok to average. The restaurant is fairly new and I think they will figure out . When they do I will give them another chance because the hostess, bartender and staff were very polite and accommodating. If you have need been please go for the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fair food for fair valueDanyVIPDined on 1/18/2014This restaurant is located just off Brickell adjacent to a parking and 1 min off the main strip. It is another copy, albeit not a bad one of some of the original French Steak houses which have now branched out all over. This place is not bad but neither meat, nor sauce is THAT one. Overall definitely not a bad place to have diner with "meat-ies", in group or not. Service automated as most restaurants in the USA but very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One Item WonderhappyfoodieVIPDined on 1/18/2014This restaurant only has one item on their menu a steak with fries and their special sauce. The food was wonderful and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- MemoriesLuv2dineDined on 1/14/2014Very good service, food was awesome and very unique french style.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
