TUSCALOOSA | Eight years ago at a conference in Colorado, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Woodward sat down next to former vice president Al Gore for dinner. It was an experience he described as "unpleasant."
TUSCALOOSA | Eight years ago at a conference in Colorado, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Woodward sat down next to former vice president Al Gore for dinner.
It was an experience he described as "unpleasant."
"Gore was a former journalist and he thinks he invented (journalism), as well as the Internet," Woodward said, drawing laughter from a crowd of more than 300 people at the University of Alabama's Bryant Conference Center Friday.
After entertaining a few questions from Gore on why he didn't come down harder on former president George W. Bush in his book "Bush At War," Woodward asked Gore a serious question.
"How much does the public know about what goes on in the White House?" Woodward said.
He said Gore answered, "One percent."
Woodward said that Gore was being facetious. But the truth, he said, is that the American public really doesn't know about 60 to 70 percent of what goes on behind the doors of the White House.
"We don't know enough," he said.
Woodward was the keynote speaker in the Blackburn Institute's Gloria and John L. Blackburn Symposium Lecture series. The Blackburn Institute is a leadership development organization within UA's division of student affairs.
Mary Caldwell, coordinator of the Blackburn Institute, said Woodward was invited to speak because of his reputation as one of the country's leading journalists.
"We thought it'd be interesting for the university and the community to hear from such a prominent figure," Caldwell said.
Woodward is an associate editor at The Washington Post, where he has worked since 1971.
During his first year as a reporter at the Post, he and then fellow reporter Carl Bernstein, covered the Watergate scandal, revealing details that led to criminal investigations and the eventual resignation of former president Richard Nixon.
The work earned the pair a Pulitzer Prize in 1973 and a movie — "All the President's Men" — about their investigation into the scandal was released in 1976.
Woodward won a second Pulitzer Prize in 2002 for his work as the lead reporter on the Post's coverage of the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
In addition to his work as a newspaper journalist, Woodward has written or co-written 17 best-selling books.
In his candid, hour-long speech, Woodward shared tips on how to be a good reporter. He also shared his insights and opinions on political topics and stories about his personal encounters with former President Gerald Ford, former President Bill Clinton, President Barack Obama and possible 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
"As a reporter, you try to peel the onion," Woodward said.
"We try to get the best obtainable version of the truth," he said later.
When answering questions, Woodward was asked how journalists — who have the power to bring about change — balance their political aspirations with the truth that they're supposed to seek and unveil.
Woodward said a journalist's job isn't to change anything. It's to explain.
"What Watergate proved is that (the American public) can handle the truth," he said.
After the lecture, Woodward said he thinks today's journalists can still do the kind of work that he and Bernstein did reporting on Watergate. It just takes a lot of work and time.
"It can be done," he said. "It's harder, and it's easier. It's about time against the problem."
Woodward said something that always bothered him after Nixon's resignation in 1974 was the televised announcement made on Sept. 8 that year by Nixon's vice president and presidential successor, Gerald Ford. In the announcement, Ford granted Nixon a full pardon for any crimes he committed against the U.S. during the Watergate scandal.
Woodward said he was in bed when the announcement was made early that morning. He found out about it when Bernstein called him.
"Have you heard?" he said Bernstein asked him. "The son of a bitch pardoned the son of a bitch."
Woodward said he couldn't understand how the person who orchestrated Watergate could get off completely while 43 other people rotted in prison.
"I thought this was one of the baddest, most corrupt deals of all time," he said.
The issue chewed at his psyche for 20 more years until he decided to call Ford and ask him why he gave the pardon.
Ford agreed to speak with him about it, and after several long interviews Ford gave him what appeared to be an honest answer.
Ford told him he didn't pardon Nixon for Nixon. He said he did it because he wanted the country to move past Watergate and regain faith in the U.S. presidency.
"I have to get Nixon and Watergate off the front page," he said Ford told him.
He considered that to be in the best interest of the country. When Ford's confession was revealed, some in the public called it courageous, Woodward said.
"What a cold shower to know that earlier I thought about this one way, and after the scrutiny of history it turns out the other way," Woodward said.
Woodward said Ford was a misunderstood president.
Woodward's most recent book, "The Price of Politics," is based on 18 months of reporting he did on how Obama and leaders in Congress have tried to restore the economy.
While examining Obama, Woodward said he realized that the president truly wants peace.
"It's true that 'he who desires peace must prepare for war,' but Obama desires peace," he said.
He said Obama has used drone attacks against the nation's enemies in an attempt to end conflicts and limit who gets hurt without entering into a drawn out war.
When asked a final question on what he thinks the nation's current "boogeyman" is, Woodward said there is no one answer, but what scares him the most is secret government.
"Democracy dies in the darkness," he said. "We get a secret government, beware. It's the end. For me, that's the thing that I worry about the most."

A search is under way for a suspect involved in a Friday afternoon robbery at the Rolla Federal Credit Union, which has been hit twice in less than four months.
According to a press release issued by the Rolla Police Department, the suspect was still at large as of press time Friday evening. No one was injured during the incident.
At about 12:30 p.m., officers were dispatched to the bank, located at 1012 Forum Drive. The suspect was described as a black male wearing a light colored dress shirt, and light colored dress style hat.
Witnesses told police that the suspect entered the bank, handed a teller a note and "announced a robbery."
"The suspect then robbed the bank of an undetermined amount of U.S. Currency and then he fled the bank on foot in a westerly direction," the release said.
Lt. Rick Williams of the RPD said no weapon was displayed during the incident.
This is the second robbery with the same MO reported at this particular bank. Williams said the bank's proximity to public areas, including Ber Juan Park, could be why the bank has been robbed more than once, but that's only speculation.
"All of our banks have been hit at one point," he said. "We don't know why they choose those locations."
Ricky R. Whitby, Jr., 25, of Rolla, was arrested for robbery in the first degree in connection with a robbery at the same bank on Oct. 17. Whitby reportedly entered the bank and approached a teller, indicating that he had a weapon. After robbing the bank of an undisclosed amount of money, he fled on foot.
Bank employees provided a description of the suspect to police and Whitby was located a short time later in the 1100 block of Forum Drive by responding officers. Whitby was arrested without incident. No weapons were discovered on the subject, and the stolen money was recovered at the scene.
Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call the RPD at (573) 308-1213. Anonymous tips can be reported by calling the department's Confidential Tip line at (573) 364-0111.

Fleurette Guertin. Living Room. November 17th , 2017.
Select individual pieces that you love and that show off your style rather than groupings, or in sets.
This should also really be the focus of your Christmas decorations. Of course hanging stockings from the mantle is traditional. You could also have a lot of fun just by finding a quilted stocking or even sewing some that are either in red, white, and green colors or just play around with a lot of Christmas motifs like trees or berries.
We spend a lot of time in our homes so we all want them to look good. A room where we spend a lot of time is the living room. There is so much that you can do with the living room so it is so easy to think of living room ideas. We will be thinking about these now.
Decorating our home has become a labor of love for my wife and I. By far, our favorite room to decorate has been our living room. This space has become the centerpiece of our home, in addition to being the room we spend the most time in. We've used color, a mix of traditional and contemporary furniture, wall art, and eye-catching accessories to create a stylish living room design that is still functional and comfortable. We hope by giving you some ideas from our own living room we'll spur your creativity and point you in the right direction to making your living room your favorite room.
Even if you inherited from Aunt Kay and you aren't particularly keen on the style you can invest in slipcovers for the upholstered pieces in a neutral fabric to unify the pieces, then use your creatively through accents.

Commodity-future price moves rather than news are increasingly driving trade in oil, sugar and grain futures, which may make finding a fair price less efficient, according to a Swiss study.
Since the middle of the 2000s, more than one out of two price changes in a number of commodity markets followed from an earlier price move, according to the study by Vladimir Filimonov and Didier Sornette at ETH Zurich and David Bicchetti and Nicolas Maystre at the Geneva-based United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
The researchers analyzed intraday trading of oil and sugar in New York and London and corn, soybeans and wheat in Chicago, finding "high levels" of self-generated price moves.
"Price dynamics on these commodity markets are partly driven by self-reinforcing mechanisms," the researchers wrote in the study published March 20 via the Social Science Research Network. "This evolution partly reflects the development of algorithmic trading and of high-frequency trading in particular."
The European Parliament backed a proposal to limit high- frequency trading by introducing a 500 millisecond minimum holding period for any trade in October. A study by Bicchetti and Maystre published last year found an increase in high- frequency trading in commodities is boosting the short-term correlation with the prices of stocks and other assets.
Market orders based on technical analysis, herd behavior, margin calls on leveraged trades and stop-loss orders are among the mechanisms that can trigger so-called endogeneity, or price moves not generated by external information, Filimonov, Bicchetti, Maystre and Sornette said.
Trading Activity
A cascade of self-generated trading activity makes finding a "true price" take longer, a potential source of inefficiency or instability in the process of price discovery, according to the study.
"Rather than agreeing rapidly on the correct price after the arrival of some unanticipated news, the traders trade longer and longer," not knowing on what price to settle, the researchers wrote.
The study indicated typically 60% to 70% of commodity price changes are driven by preceding price moves rather than new information, with the percentage rising since the mid-2000s through to October 2012.

NU-Creighton Ticket May Have Historic Value
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
Friday's 7 p.m. Nebraska-Creighton exhibition volleyball match isn't a priority for even the staunchest Big Red fan, even though the Huskers have set an NCAA record for consecutive home sellouts that will carry over to the Devaney Center this fall. On Thursday afternoon, a fan could buy some of the best seats inside the Coliseum for $10 because John Cook's focus this spring rightfully has been on Nebraska's introduction to beach volleyball as a separate sport and the ensuing integration of talented 6-3 twin freshmen outside hitters Amber Rolfzen and Kadie Rolfzen into a lineup that also includes 2011 SEC Player of the Year Kelsey Robinson, a transfer from Tennessee.
Cook has been so busy building chemistry to launch Nebraska Volleyball on the beach and in a completely refurbished Devaney Center that he hasn't even mentioned to his team that Friday night's match is the last scheduled Husker competition inside the Coliseum. That could change, of course, later this year if any Big Ten schedule conflict emerges with wrestling, one of four Devaney Center anchor tenants (men's and women's gymnastics are the other two). Even if those potential conflicts get worked out, the Huskers most likely will be back inside the Coliseum next spring because the Devaney Center will be closed to replace the south ramp.
The Huskers moved on quickly from its tearful goodbye to the Coliseum last Dec. 2. Somehow, though, I've been waiting for the last match scheduled here, even if it is just an exhibition. I'm looking for the right footnote to a building deeply imbedded in my heart since watching an unbeaten state champion Omaha South basketball team beat my hometown of Alliance in a 1960 Class A semifinal. The ghosts I leave behind in the Coliseum are also intermingled with multiple state tournament basketball experiences.
How can I forget Richard Nixon presenting Bob Devaney and Husker co-captains Dan Schneiss and Jerry Murtaugh Nebraska's first national football championship in that old beast of a building? What about the time Robert F. Kennedy spoke at the Coliseum and a secret service man grabbed me to help the presidential candidate navigate an aisle of crushed humanity and then get him outside the front door? My secret service teammate and I lifted RFK up and into a convertible, which whisked JFK's brother straight to the Lincoln Airport. As the car started to move, he looked down at me and said a sincere "thank you" for coming to his rescue. I didn't think anybody would believe something like that actually happened until three people called me that night after watching RFK's getaway on the evening news. A few weeks later, in Alliance, I watched Robert F. Kennedy's assassination live on television.
Of course, I have vivid basketball memories dating back to the late Joe Cipriano and Moe Iba, two good coaches and two good men, but I won't bore you with details because I want to encourage Husker fans interested in history to buy and print your own tickets and head to the Coliseum Friday night … for old time sake. You can get great seats, even if you opt for $8 and general admission. Who knows? Maybe you can get back on eBay whatever you spend on a game ticket.
Yes, this is an exhibition, but it is also a 12-month goodbye – for Nebraska, for the Huskers and for all of us who will never forget those Coliseum columns and the memories they hold up in our minds. Interestingly, even Creighton head volleyball coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth – whose 2012 team finished 29-4 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last December – has a tie to the Coliseum. Her mom and dad, John and Marilyn Bernthal, are longtime, loyal Nebraska volleyball season ticketholders. "We always look forward to playing at Nebraska," Booth said Thursday, "because they have outstanding fans, and the Coliseum is an incredible volleyball venue. I know first-hand what the Coliseum has meant to the program, and it's an honor, both personally and professionally, for our team to play in the final match that's scheduled at the Coliseum."

Food companies that contribute to the "No on 522" campaign risk alienating both investors and customers, two investment advisers said in a news conference Oct. 9.
Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, and Lucia von Reusner, shareholder advocate at Green Century Funds, predicted a backlash of resentment for corporations that have poured millions of dollars into defeating Washington Initiative 522. The ballot measure would require labeling of foods that contain genetically modified ingredients.
Citing a recent New York Times poll in which 93 percent of respondents said they favor labeling, von Reusner said, "Using shareholder funds to publicly oppose transparency and the public's right to know threatens to erode consumer trust and exposes the company to significant risks as a result."
Companies that opposed California's Prop 37 last year saw significant consumer backlash on social media sites and were the subject of consumer boycotts, she said. Companies should "refrain entirely" from donating funds.
Behar said his group, a nonprofit that promotes environmental and social corporate responsibility through shareholder advocacy, has filed resolutions at Monsanto, E.l. DuPont de Nemours and Dow Chemical, and it intends to file a shareholder resolution at General Mills and Abbott Laboratories, all of which combined to give more than $17 million to defeat the California labeling initiative.
The Green Century Equity Fund plans to file at Kraft Foods Group, which gave $2 million, and the Environmental Working Group plans to file at Coca-Cola and Pepsi, which combined donated $4.2 million.
"By spending money to influence the outcome of ballot initiatives and other political issues, companies are sending a message to their customers," Behar said. "In the case of GMO labeling, they are saying 'We don't want you to know what is in our products.' This creates material risk for investors based on negative brand reputation."
Speaking for the "No on 522" coalition, spokeswoman Dana Bieber said, "We believe that all food companies should be opposed to the type of mandatory labeling scheme represented by I-522, that would provide inaccurate and misleading information to consumers, while driving up food prices for working families by hundreds of dollars per year.
"In fact, we would call upon the food companies that are supporting this measure to abandon their effort, which is frankly aimed at imposing a misleading labeling requirement on their competitors' products, at the expense of consumers and families."
Scott Faber, vice president of government affairs at the Environmental Working Group, said it's not too late for contributors to halt their opposition to I-522, though they've already given $17.4 million.
"The horse is only a third of the way out of the barn," he said. "The last few weeks will see more donations."
Van Reusner added, "This isn't the last issue that companies will invest in."

A+ Review for SDSU, Spring 2018
Make your life easier
and join us for our awesome Spring 2018 exam-cram test prep workshops.
Join us and score HIGHER on your exam!
← Click on "Spring Who We Cover" for more info...
We are the #1 College-based Exam Prep in San Diego!
One or two nights before your exam, we offer a small group, exam-cram review session. We are experts on the exam material and we dumb it all down and spoon feed our students the information. Through our enrolled note-takers, we figure out everything that you need to know to score high on the exam and we present it all to our small group at our exam-cram workshop. We are located close to campus.
Join us and score higher!
Academic Excellence
We are dedicated to
Academic Excellence
in everything we do. That includes our teaching style, materials, and mentoring of our students. We adhere to principles of
Total Quality Managemen
t and encourage our students to set high goals for themselves in all aspects of their lives and to continuously work towards achieving those goals. "Reach for the Stars!"
We only cover the following classes for San Diego State
University students exclusively :
Accounting, Chemistry, Finance, Physics, Statistics, MIS, Economics, Calculus, Marketing (BA 370), and Operations Management. (those classes keep us very busy; we may add another class or two in the future)
We are high level EXPERTS in these classes. We understand ALL problems and concepts in these classes A to Z and most importantly, we can dumb it all down and explain it for our VIP students. We do NOT use part-time tutors. We exclusively use full time EXPERTS in the material only.
At our small group workshops, we dumb down the exam material and spoon feed it to our small group of students. Our students score the highest in the class again and again and again because they
understand the exam material to a very high level
The secret to our success, How it works:
First of all we are
high-level experts
in the exam material. We know this stuff backwards and forwards, A to Z. We understand and can perfectly explain ALL the concepts and ALL the problems. We ONLY use full-time EXPERTS to teach the exam material. ALL of our instructors are 5-star rated and have each taught over 10,000 students each.
We typically have one or two note-takers enrolled in each class we cover. We review ALL in-class notes, handouts, quizzes, homework, blackboard documents, and other materials prior to the review and we then put together an exam-cram workshop with everything needed for the exam. At our exam workshop,
we dumb down the exam material to the dumbest possible degree and spoon feed it all to our students
.We have tricks, tips, short-cuts, insights, and cool ways to remember stuff. Our students are better off for the exam because they understand the material to a very high degree. So no matter what the exam looks like, our students will be well prepared. Another benefit is that when our students move on to a higher level class (for example from Chem100 to Chem200, or from Acctg201 to Acctg331, etc.) they will have a better chance of achieving a high score in that class because of the solid foundation that A+ Review helped create.
Our students learn it and earn it
. Our students learn the material (ALL the problems and ALL the concepts) perfectly, then walk into their exam and shred it. If the exam is easy, medium, or hard it does not matter. Our students as a group perform better on the exam.
A+ Review students as a group perform significantly better
than the students as a group that do not attend our exam-cram reviews. An SDSU grad student did their thesis on this topic and confirmed what we already knew.
Simply put:
our students as a group consistently score the highest in the class.
We do NOT use Powerpoint slides!
We actually TEACH the material in our workshop with thick black markers on huge white boards. Its a LOT of work for us but this old fashion teaching style really works! Once again: our students
While the prof has to figure out how to dish out C's, D's, and F's to around 50% or more of the class, we on the other hand do everything in our power to help our students learn the material perfectly and ace their exams. Join us!!
When you search on
it may give you links to old pages from months or years ago. Ugh!
... so make sure you the either click on our home page and/or hit
... to
get our latest page for THIS week.
: People have called us on the phone, claiming to be from YELP and have told us essentially that if we pay them $650 dollars per month they will then allow our MANY 5-star reviews to show up. It is our understanding that YELP may hide some or all 5-star reviews unitl we create an account and start paying them monthly cash. (this is our opinion only and the facts may or may not be the same).
We have many people tell us that they have written 5-star reviews but these reviews just don't seem to show up
should we pay YELP $650 per month to supposedly have our 5-star reviews show up? At this point we are not paying them a cent. We heard there was a documentary coming out that will uncover and expose various YELP shake-down practices. So, we recommend NOT using YELP for anything. We personally do not trust them for ANY review on anything. We recommend using the Facebook and Google reviews which seem to us be more legit.
The above information is all our opinion and understanding and must not be taken as fact or relied upon. Do your own research into YELP and see what you find.
Our number one question is: How do you pay?
Use Cash, Check, or Card... just
pay at the door
. We take all credit and debit cards... at the door. (although parents like to pay on our PayPal page on behalf of their child (but NO PayPal account is needed...
PayPal just PROCESSES the card only
, no PayPal account is needed at all, no PayPal account is needed!!)
ADDRESS: 6784 El Cajon Blvd., San Diego, CA 92115
From the SDSU campus, head
on Montezuma Rd. to the very end of that road. Turn left. We are two blocks down on the left side, across the street from the Bank of America. We are one mile east of campus, just past Ralphs and Pep Boys.
We have added a "
Parents Pay Now
" page to the left. It is a very popular feature. Using PayPal, your parents (or anybody) can pay for any of your reviews. Just remember to bring your ID so that we can verify that you match your PayPal name when you arrive at the review.
You don't need to have a PayPal account to use this feature
, any credit card will work! Paypal just PROCESSES the card. No Paypal account is needed.
A+ Review Greatly Benefits the SDSU Community.
We Benefit Society by Increasing Graduation Rates and We Save SDSU and the State of California a TON of Money.
1. With nearly 35% of incoming SDSU Freshmen not graduating SDSU after even 5-years, A+ Review fights to help
keep more of these students in school and graduating on time
. That saves the State of California a ton of money. We get these students out of their dormrooms and apartments and into our 6-hour super-reviews where we get them ready for their exams. Over 6 hours, we cover with our small group of students, hundreds of important concepts and problems. In addition, we stress good study skills and test-taking strategies.
We are clearly helping to improve graduation rates among freshmen.
2. Some transfer students have historically struggled with the jump from their local community college to the big university.
A+ Review is there as an option for these students to help with poor or forgetten math skills and to help prep for exams
. Many transfer students have full or part time jobs. A+ Review helps save these students time and helps them learn the material quickly and in
a quality fashion
. Together, we typically work through as many as 100 or more problems and we review many important concepts. Our students
the exam material very well.
We increase the graduation and success rates of transfer students, greatly benefiting SDSU and the State of California.
We cost the SDSU University and the taxpayers nothing
. We are entirely self-funded. SDSU receives hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money from Sacramento. We receive zero money from the State. In fact we PAY money to the state each year.
4. Our tutoring rates are
low when compared to local tutors who charge $25 an hour, $40 an hour, sometimes $50 an hour, and we have seen $100 an hour for organic chemistry. Our prorated hourly fee is around $13 an hour and includes materials, food, drinks, etc. Our staff is dedicated to the highest quality of teaching and mentoring.
We offer a great value to the SDSU student communit
Please support our efforts to help students score high and excel at SDSU. Thank you!
A+ Review, College Area, San Diego
entire goal
is to expertly prepare our SDSU students to score very high on their exams. One way we accomplish this goal is by
continually improving our material
s and
teaching ability
. We simplify for our students, all of the assigned exam material and get our students totally ready for their exam. We dumb down for our students, the assigned and important questions, problems, vocab, quizzes, handouts, and concepts.
Together, we work through it all
. The FACT is that our students learn the material to a higher level than other studentsl. This is why, as a group, our students consistently score higher.

The dirty secret (well it's not really a secret)... is that by the end of the semester,
over 50% of the students in the class will typically be given C's, D's, and F's
Do NOT settle for that NONSENSE! Get into our exam-cram, super-reviews and
score in or near the top of the class
Our #1 goal is for OUR students to score in the TOP of the class
And we achieve this goal on a regular basis.
We figure out everything our students are supposed to know for the exam and then we present it in a high energy and exciting manner and dumb it all down at our exam-cram, super-review. We spoon-feed it. Together we solve problems and discuss concepts. Join us! Our students learn the material really, really well. They UNDERSTAND the concepts, they UNDERSTAND the calculations. Our students learn the material to a very high level. We always take the time to "set the table" for our students. We let them know the purpose of a chapter, the BIG PICTURE of the chapter. Then we roll up our sleeves and learn the details of the chapter VERY well. Other universities do not have A+ Review, but SDSU is blessed to have us in the community. Take advantage of the opportunity to attend our expert workshops!
classes are graded on a
Bell Curve
. That means around 50% to 60% of the class will receive C's, D's, and F's. Don't settle for that
Get into our
exam-cram, super-reviews
and score in the
top of the class
this semester.
We have helped
students score in the top of their classes. We dumb down the
exam material
to the dumbest possible degree and
spoon feed it all to our students
Don't take chances this semester!
Save yourself time and trouble and get into
A+ Review
a couple days before your exam. Don't have our small fee? Parents will many times pay because they know the
importance of high grades
in this tough economy. Also, nearly 35% of freshmenn do not graduate SDSU after even five years, many fail out. Don't take chances... get into our super-reviews.

And at no cost to SDSU or the taxpayers. Amazing. Some profs resent that we help their students ace their exam. Why you ask? Ask a psychologist... there are many theories. The bottom line is that it is best not to mention the words "A+ Review" to your profs. Some will just loose it on the spot and shout at you!

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects tissue throughout the body. It causes inflammation and pain in the affected tissue that can lead to symptoms like fatigue, arthritis, skin rashes and fever. Over time, the inflammation can cause tissue and organ damage, leading to serious health complications. The sooner SLE is detected and treated, the better it can be managed.
SLE symptoms occur in cycles of remission with no symptoms and flare ups where symptoms are more severe. The exact symptoms and degree of severity can vary significantly between people. Some may have mild symptoms over a short period of time while others may have more severe forms that last many years. Damage that occurs during flares can persist between flares and become chronic.
There are several types of lupus based on areas of the body that are affected. SLE is the most common type of lupus that affects tissue throughout the body. Other types of lupus include:
- Discoid lupus erythematosus—affects the skin with chronic rashes, especially on the face and scalp
- Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus—nonscarring rashes on the skin after sun exposure
- Drug-induced lupus—caused by medications, such as those to treat high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, or infections
- Neonatal lupus—rare, but may be caused by immune system factors in the mother's blood
Antibodies are created by the immune system to help identify and attack foreign items like bacteria and viruses. With autoimmune disorders, these antibodies identify and attack healthy tissue. These antibodies are called autoantibodies. The body responds to the autoantibody attack with inflammation. Long term, this inflammation causes the growth of blood vessels in the area. The autoantibodies can then pass into the bloodstream through these new vessels and travel to other organs in the body causing damage to organs like kidneys, lungs, or heart.
The exact cause of autoimmune disorders like SLE is not known, but is believed to be a combination of:
- Genetics—faulty genes may redirect immune system to attack specific healthy tissue
- Environmental factors, such as viral infections or chemicals—may trigger gene defect and/or cause change in immune system

The Syria Files,
Files released: 1432389
The Syria Files
Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

Cougars survive fight with Lassen and scare from underdog Cabrillo
They had to survive a fight (literally) with Lassen and two overtime periods against Cabrillo, but the Taft College men's soccer team still has its No. 1 state ranking intact as it heads to the state championships.
After coming away with a 2-1 victory over a No. 9 Lassen a week ago and a 1-0 double overtime triumph over No. 13 Cabrillo on Saturday in the northern California finals, the Cougars have a hefty challenge when the championships open Friday afternoon.
Taft is the No. 1 north seed and will play the No. 2 south seed and three-time defending state champ Mt. San Antonio College – at Mt. San Antonio. That's because Mt. SAC was previously chosen as the site for the championships.
"Playing them is always a challenge, and playing them on their field is even tougher," said Cougar head coach Angelo Cutrona, "but this is the final four and all the records, all the statistics go out the window."
The other pairing pits No. 1 south Golden West College (18-1-3) against No. 2 north City College of San Francisco (18-0-4). The survivors will meet Sunday at 10 a.m. to see who gets to wear the state crown.
Both of Friday's semi-finals begin at 4 p.m. at Mt. SAC's soccer complex.
Taft (17-0-5) and Mt. SAC (19-3-1) are the only teams in the final four that have been to the winner's circle.
The Cougars are 1-3-1 against Mt. SAC all-time – beating them on penalty kicks in the 2007 semi-finals en route to TC's only state title. The Mounties edged the Cougars 2-1 in the championship three years ago, the first of three titles in a row.
Barraza comes through
Freshman forward Ramiro Barraza – the third leading scorer in the state – kicked in all three Cougar goals last week.
After Lassen midfielder Krishan Patel drilled a crossing pass into the left corner of the goal in the eighth minute to give the team from Susanville an early lead, Barraza took a pass from Andy Reyes in the 43rd minute to tie it and scored the game-winner minutes later on a header off a pass from Edgar Plascensia.
After upstart Cabrillo – the 13th seed who defeated No. 4 Santa Rosa and No. 5 Fresno – played the Cougars even through 90 minutes of regulation and the first of two 15-minute overtimes, Barraza was in the right place at the right time.
Just over nine minutes into the second overtime, Barraza was rushing the goal from the right side as Roberto Mariscal attacked from the center and drilled a shot at the Seahawk net.
Sophomore goalkeeper Cesar Rocha managed to deflect the shot and Barraza kicked it into the back of the net for the game's only goal as Rocha had not chance to react.
From there the defense just had to continue to keep Cabrillo's offense in check.
Shutout for Gonzalez
The Seahawks had one serious shot on goal at 11:52 on a hard crossing shot, but keeper Roberto Gonzalez snagged it.
It was his third save of the game. He had five against Lassen after allowing that early goal on Patel's laser shot.
Gonzalez, a Taft High product, is ranked fifth among the state's goalkeepers.
The Lassen game had an ugly ending.
Shortly after the final whistle, a Lassen player attacked a Taft player, touching off a melee that involved a lot of shoving and a few thrown punches.
There had been words exchanged between Taft's mostly Kern County players and Lassen's mostly foreign players. The team from Susanville had but four Americans with the remainder of the roster players from England, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Brazil, Spain and Israel.
Head coach Benjamin Wade lashed out at Cutrona in a threatening manner and another member of the Lassen staff could be heard screaming epithets aimed at the Cougars.

One of the primary traits of a KEEN engineer is the ability to identify and pursue business opportunities, whether they knock loudly, or sneak in the back door unnoticed by anyone else. Forward-looking engineers who recognize and seize such opportunities will have a head start on achieving success.
For civil engineering student Ashley Meade – a senior at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Mich. – opportunity came outside of her chosen major. Still, she saw it as a great way to expand her knowledge and broaden her horizons.
"Peg Pierce, director of Career Services at LTU, set up a mechanical engineering internship program with Central Conveyor Company," Meade explains. "She told me about it and encouraged me to apply. Because I am a civil engineer, I was worried that I wouldn't be considered for a more mechanical field, but a couple of weeks later I was invited to come in for an interview."
Pierce's confidence in Meade's ability was justified, and it wasn't long before Ashley became Central Conveyor's first intern, working in the engineering department at the corporate headquarters in Brighton, Mich. Central Conveyor is a 20-year-old company that designs and builds customized material handling, storage retrieval, and automated conveyance systems. The conveyors can either be designed and engineered as stand-alone units or fully integrated with existing manufacturing lines.
At Central Conveyor, Meade has already provided extra value to clients. One such opportunity came when she was tasked to meet with a customer to provide a health assessment of installed equipment. She met with the customer's team and was asked to put together a report. Because the request was fairly general, Meade decided to create a new process and provide more than the customer had requested.
She carefully weighed the customer's needs, then consulted with people in her office. Armed with this input, she took the next step. "I provided the form that the customer asked for, and then on top of that I added a supplemental information sheet," she says. In addition to the engineering information, she included material that was color-coded, added comments based on a field inspection, and provided photos that tied it all together.
"In the report, we noted other areas of concern that were not listed in the specification," she adds. "This was a courtesy and ethical decision we made that could save time and/or a life. Members of our company were pleased with the final representation of the information, and are looking to adopt it as a standard template for future assessments."
This approach not only gave the customer valuable information that they hadn't requested, but information that Central Conveyor's competitors don't provide. "The customers didn't really know what they'd be getting, and they didn't really have any expectations," according to Meade. "Because of the clarity of the documentation, we can secure future job-related prospects."
The internship, which began in Meade's junior year, has provided her with other valuable learning experiences. When asked what her duties encompass, she answers, "The question should be: what have I not done in my work at Central Conveyor? The answer would be, I have not made coffee – which is surprising, considering the amount our department consumes."
Her big-picture approach and entrepreneurial mindset allow Meade to work on more than just narrow projects. "I spend most of my time focused on work for the engineering department, but I've also worked with the estimating, purchasing, project management, and fabrication groups. In addition, some assignments have involved coordinating with other engineering firms and vendors." Her exposure to entrepreneurial engineering, which began in her freshman year at LTU, was critical.
"Going through the courses and the work experience I've gone through has made me think about the big picture and not just about the individual projects," she says. "I've had to think about the people I affect. I have to think of the vendors, like how are you affecting their company? You also have to think of the organization of the project – can you get management to help you, can you get the fabrication team to help you? Some people are so tunnel-visioned that they don't necessarily understand the bigger picture."
Meade quickly learned that organizing and managing data is crucial. "When I started, the systematic procedure of how we process documents and keep track of all the information was drilled into my head. Entering our busiest season, my boss, Mike Fagan, gave me the responsibility to coordinate with the outsourced engineering companies we use. It was my job to receive design drawings and documents, make sure that they had the proper notation, and could be followed by our fabrication shop before saving everything to our network. It was more complex than one would think because I was coordinating with three different companies on multiple projects."
Collaboration with coworkers has helped expand her knowledge and proven particularly valuable, Meade says. "Mike Fagan has been a huge mentor to me and has encouraged the other engineers to help me learn more about the industry and their areas of expertise. He likes to challenge me with projects where I can figure things out on my own, while coworkers help me learn and get the job done. Everyone works on the same team, and I've never been spoken down to or taken advantage of just because I am the intern."
Meade speaks just as highly of her experience at Lawrence Tech, an institution that has fully embraced the KEEN program and its objectives. "My professors have helped me in so many ways, both inside and outside of the classroom," she says. "At LTU, I've had my hand in many group projects, so learning to collaborate in a team setting and develop effective communication skills made it easier to succeed at Central Conveyor. I feel that the experience that's taught at school has really given me the knowledge and flexibility to fit the needs of the company I work for."

Top 3 Reasons Why You Should Move to Tampa, Florida
Hillsborough County in Florida is where you will find Tampa. The city is known for being the home of the historic town of Ybor, which is a National Historic Landmark. Tampa is also a place surrounded by parks and dotted by beautiful beaches. However, there are many other reasons why you should consider living in the said city. Here are some:
1. Cost of Living is Lesser Resulting to A More Relaxed Lifestyle
The cost of living in Tampa is lesser compared to other cities in the state. It's not the lowest in the country, but it is fair, with a rent index that's definitely lower than that of New York City's. Additionally, a lot of rental properties in Tampa provide more practical alternatives without sacrificing comfort and style. And since the cost of living is lower, Tampa residents embrace a more relaxed lifestyle.
2. Tampa Has a Lot of Parks
Everywhere you go in Tampa; you will find parks. And these are not just ordinary parks, mind you. These are real parks with a lot of trees. There are nature/hiking trails, bike trails, and a lot of amenities that are beneficial for both the kids and adults. Spending relaxing afternoons at the park is easy in Tampa because you have a lot of options to choose from. Aside from parks, Tampa also has zoos and animal shelters/centers. There are theme parks, too. It is located quite near various parks owned by Disney. You can easily drive to Epcot and the Magic Kingdom if you want to. It's just more than hour's drive away! So there's something for everyone at Tampa.
3. Tampa Has a Lot of Museums
Museums are places of learning and discovery – and there are a lot of them all over Tampa. The Tampa Museum of Arts is the best option for those who love contemporary/modern art. For those who love science, the Museum of Science and Industry or MOSI is a perfect choice. For history lovers, the hotel-turned-museum Henry B. Plant Museum will offer a great adventure. Meanwhile, photographers and photography enthusiasts will love exploring the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. The Ybor City State Museum, on the other hand, is perfect for those who want to learn more about the historic city and Tampa as well. You'll also learn a lot of interesting things about cigars if you tour the said museum.

Give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now.
I am writing to tell you about FamilyFun's new kids' magazine, the aptly titled FamilyFun Kids, and to invite you to enter here for a free subscription.
This is a magazine for kids and by "kids" (okay, it's mostly the wildly child-like staff of FamilyFun, but still--lots of actual kids, including my own, have tested and retested all of the ideas), that is also blissfully ad-free. That's right: no ads. Which gives me a heavenly, let-freedom-ring, "Down with Poptarts and cold medicine!" feeling about the kind of copy we could write. Not that we would. But still. Look carefully in the first issue to see what I might have written for them. (Give up? It's the fortune-teller fortunes. I know.) You kind of cut the magazine up as you go, since it's full of little mustaches and other stuff you'll actually want to snip and use. And it's just fresh and funny and full of fun stuff to do, in the way that I like. "Optimistic" is what I want to say: kids aren't jaded capitalist brats! They're goofy fun-lovers who just want to use scissors. I love that.
Does it make a difference that the editor of FamilyFun is my best friend from college? No, but I can see why you'd ask. Or rather: yes, but only because she is, like, the warmest, funniest person on earth and she makes great magazines.
There's a really cute video for it here. And subscription info here, on the off-chance you don't win one.
Just comment here by Midnight on New Year's eve to enter the subscription give-away--though you have to be from the U.S. to do it for some reason (sorry, all you beloved Maple Leafs).

Sign me up, please. We'd love to win too. (I, too, strive to love you in a non-stalkery way, however, I have been known to keep an eye out at Whole Foods and Judie's just in case). :)ReplyDelete
We would love that magazine! We already get Family Fun and this new one sounds great.ReplyDelete
Please add my name to the hat on this one. I would love a magazine for the kids that wasn't loaded with ads and had good ideas instead.ReplyDelete
I would love to win, and thank you for telling us more about the new magazine! I've seen it advertised in FamilyFun and wondered what it was like.ReplyDelete
Picked that issue up the other day, and we have been going fortune teller and snowflake and paper bead crazy around here this week. My three would love a subscription!ReplyDelete
ps. We made paper beads out of the bean and grain 'spot the difference' pics from chop chop. Those were our favorites.
This magazine sounds really fun and I would love to win a subscription. Happy holidays to you and yours!ReplyDelete

Is it weird that I'm sort of sad about Wondertime when thinking about this? Maybe this magazine will be amazing and it will disappear too. (Martha Stewart also did a Kids magazine but it was done in a flash.)
I just pulled my salted caramel popcorn our of the oven - a double batch, one with nuts and one without - and the recipe is from Wondertime. Ditto our (your) camping list, and so many other small but wonderful parts of our days. Are any of the old staff doing this new magazine? I sure hope so. I'm not exaggerating when I say Wondertime was my favorite magazine ever. I'm just a little scared to love this new one...
This sounds like just the kind of magazine the kids would love.ReplyDelete
You had me at mustaches!ReplyDelete
hey catherine, would love to win, but always good to support you via comments. Happy and Merry Christmas and New Year! KimReplyDelete

My daughter would also love to "read" the magazine (meaning, look at the pictures and want to do what the kids are doing), and she loves to cut and snip (as evidenced by all of her dolls' unfashionable, or, depending on your taste, fashionable, uneven crew cuts)! Sign us right up for the drawing, please!ReplyDelete

I'd love to win! We get Family Fun now and would really appreciate the ad-free content. And getting to read more of you! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
My word verification is unishipr. Which sounds like a freight carrier for everything imaginable. Or maybe a magic box that becomes the shape and size of whatever you need to ship.
Hello. Would love to win the free subscription.ReplyDelete
I'd also love to read more books that you all recommend. I just finished Brooklyn and several other books that people listed in the comments section. All good! Thanks.
But of course I want to comment and hopefully win! I remember wonderTime, but this sounds even better!ReplyDelete
We already have a subscription, and urge everyone to subscribe if you don't win the subscription- it is just great!ReplyDelete
- Cathy10:25 AM
OK I might be jinxing my chances for the magazine by doing this, but I think that it's important to let you know that I think you have one too many "give it away"s listed. This is said only with love but I'm 95% sure that it's "Give it away, give it away, give it away now." (Went to a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert while pregnant with my oldest(about 6 months younger than Ben). It was great but I held my breath for a portion while some people 3 rows down were herbing it up and I was freaking out for my baby. I hope that you have had a wonderful holiday season so far and continue to do so! I LOVE no ads and will check out the magazine definitely!ReplyDelete
OH Em Gee! It is like FamilyFun and MS Kids collided and their molecules reformed into the perfect magazine for my daughter. the same daughter who hoards and pours over the aforementioned magazines. Yea! Maybe I could actually get to read MY copy of Family Fun before the current season ends!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous7:22 PM
i'm a sucker for mags that are well done and the kidness of this one when family fun has already caught my eye time and time again with its goodness makes it irresistable so i am crossing my fingers big time! :O) just finished grief of others, too and it was really good. keep the book recs coming!ReplyDelete
Sounds like something we would like! Happy new year!ReplyDelete
I know my son and I would love this new magazine! If I don't win, I will subscribe.ReplyDelete
Oooh! Oooh! Pick me! Pick me! I love you more! (also non stalkerishly but I have followed your writing for YEARS I tell you, YEARS!!) My children would love this magazine to pieces! Literally!ReplyDelete
hoping to win!ReplyDelete
OOOh, yummy! We're ad-free. Love Chop Chop, thanks to you, and you've been a lifesaver for me since I was pregnant with my first when you were pregnant with Birdy in 2002. Three kids later (nearly 9, 6 and 2) I still consider you a lifesaver and still can't stop laughing at the internal struggle you expressed when your housemate was pregnant and you confessed wanting a third, but also not, and wondering if a cat was enough. I thank you every week your blog comes out. Your crackers and bread both figure in an annual science fair project on leavening that gets more involved every grade. Much gratitude from this California family.ReplyDelete
Sounds like this would be right up my 5 year old daughter's alley...ReplyDelete

Want welfare? Proposed law says take a drug test
By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
Welfare drug test foes: Bill is likely unconstitutional
CONCORD - A plan to require drug tests for people applying for temporary welfare assistance will be heard by a legislative committee today.
The bill, filed by state Reps. Donald LeBrun, R-Nashua, and Jeanine Notter, R-Merrimack, would require applicants for federally funded Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to submit a clean drug test to receive benefits.
The program is administered by the state, which may issue an EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) card for the benefit. The Department of Health and Human Services would determine what drugs the test would screen for.
"I'm not trying to take anything away from anyone who qualifies," LeBrun said. "I'm trying to identify people who have problems and have them treated."
Under his proposal, applicants would first be sent for testing. They would have to pay for it, with the cost refunded in the first benefit allotment if they pass.
LeBrun calls the measure "a common sense" approach to the issue of what happens to benefits given to families headed by a drug user.
"If a person has a drug problem and we simply write them a check, what are they going to do?" LeBrun said. "They will go out and buy drugs."
Stephanie Savard, vice president of Families in Transition, the social service agency that helps families that become homeless, said she worries that such a law could turn out to be punitive and lead to families ending up in more serious situations than they are now.
"It's a slippery slope; there are pros and cons to the concept," Savard said. "Is it another tool in the tool box to support a family and help them raise the ship and build toward self-sufficiency, or is it being use to be punitive?"
LeBrun said the version of the measure he filed seeks to avoid a punitive approach. If an applicant is denied benefits due to a positive drug tests, the entire family would not necessarily be kicked off TANF rolls.
Another responsible adult could be designated to receive the benefits after passing a drug test.
An applicant testing positive would be disqualified from benefits for a year, but could win reinstatement by providing proof of successful completion of a substance abuse program.
"It will identify people and put them in the proper program to get treatment, rectifying the problem in a two-fold nature," LeBrun said. "It is giving people who need help all the help they need, plus getting help for the person with a drug problem."
Savard cautions that drug abuse should be treated like other health issues.
"Addition is a chronic health condition; we are not punitive with someone who has other medical issues. We don't take benefits away when someone has emphysema from smoking," she said. "Addiction is a disease that needs support and health care."
Attempts to require drug testing for TANF applicants in two other states, Florida and Michigan, have been struck down by federal district courts.
No definitive federal Court of Appeals ruling has been handed down in either case. In Michigan, a three-judge panel initially said the testing could continue, but the case was heard again by all 10 judges, who proceeded to deadlock on the issue. That meant a lower court ruling banning the testing stands.
In Florida, an appeals court heard arguments Nov. 1 on a bid to bar the testing, but has yet to issue a decision.
The Florida law was challenged on the grounds that drug tests were an illegal search because results are made available to law enforcement. That may not be an issue under the New Hampshire proposal; Lebrun's bill specifically prohibits state officials from turning results over to other agencies.
The state Department of Health and Human Services estimates that, if the bill passes, drug tests will have to be given to about 2,600 applicants each year. Based on studies done elsewhere, it estimates that between 2.4 percent and 8.8 percent of people receiving benefits will fail the test, according to a fiscal note attached to the bill.
LeBrun denies that the aim is to deny assistance to people who need it.
"I'm going to present the bill as a common-sense housekeeping or stewardship kind of thing," he said. "I hope to convince people that there is a problem and we have to do something about it."

The Linux Fish!
Penguins love this fish!
- An interesting variation on the typical fish
- The fin suggests Linux is streamlined
- Plastic with adhesive backing
Of course you'll get some awkward stares from clueless passersby when you are driving down the freeway with this chrome plated fish on your car. But for now, consider the Linux fish a secret handshake between fellow devotees and a way of peacefully protesting against the mass-packaged operating systems out there.
What is that fin for? To suggest the rugged yet streamlined characteristics of the Linux/GNU OS. And to suggest that Linux/GNU is at the top of the food chain, lurking beneath the surface, hunting something. What is it hunting? That's quite subjective. A couple of things come to mind: recognition, perfection, Microsoft... or maybe it's just because Linus is a Finn. *rimshot*
Product Specifications
- Plastic Linux Fish with adhesive backing
- Chrome with black inset
- Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds
- Dimensions: 4.75" x 2"

The Hornbrook Community Services District (CSD) has come to a standstill due to the resignation of three of its five members and is seeking qualified candidates to replace them.
The Hornbrook Community Services District (CSD) has come to a standstill due to the resignation of three of its five members and is seeking qualified candidates to replace them.
The remaining two members of the CSD – Virginia Pelsor and Virginia McMaster – appeared before the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors on April 4 asking the board to appoint one new member in order to establish a voting quorum. The district requires a quorum of three members in order to vote on any issue and to take any official action.
One of the major issues facing the CSD is a need to purchase chemicals to treat the town's water supply to meet state municipal water quality standards.
Pelsor also told the supervisors that there were many concerning irregularities in past bookkeeping records and many records have been destroyed. Supervisor Marcia Armstrong added that she had heard accusations that tens of thousands of dollars were missing.
According to County Counsel Brian Morris, if the CSD is not able to address the water issue soon, it may have to be put into receivership – a judicial process by which an asset or entity is put under the control of an outside entity to protect it from loss.
County Clerk Colleen Setzer told the supervisors there is one qualified applicant for the position. She said Hornbrook resident Sidney Sprague has provided the county clerk's office with a letter of interest in the position.
However, Armstrong noted that Pelsor and McMaster have said they would resign if Sprague was appointed.
Several supervisors took issue with their unwillingness to accept a qualified applicant.
"This is your community's problem," said Armstrong. "This is not the board of supervisors' problem. Our sole function here is to provide you with another member to make a quorum."
Supervisor Ed Valenzuela told the CSD members, "The democratic process says you have to have three people. It doesn't mean you have to agree."
Supervisor Grace Bennett said, "You, in Hornbrook, should be actively looking for someone. There's, I don't know, 500 people there. You should be able to find three people that can work together and resolve issues and move forward with taking care of yourselves."
Bennett added, "It's up to you, it's not up to us. Just because you don't like somebody or don't like the way they talk doesn't mean that they shouldn't be on your board. We [supervisors] disagree all the time. We disagree and talk things through."
Morris asked Pelsor and McMaster if they could find any other qualified candidates in the next week. Both said they were not aware of other possible candidates "off the top of their head" but they would try.
Hornbrook residents interested in serving on the Hornbrook Community Services District should contact the Siskiyou County Clerk's Office at 842-8084.

In season opener, Lady Raiders look dominant; Saint Mary's losing streak hits five
If first impressions mean anything, the Immaculata girls' basketball team is in for a great season.
In front of its home crowd, the Lady Raiders opened the new year by drubbing Heritage Christian 60-30 Thursday.
"I thought it was awesome," Imac coach Terry Jordan said. "What I liked most about it was the confidence we had. No one was afraid to shoot the ball, especially the newcomers. It was good to see that aggressiveness."
Aggressive was a perfect way to describe Immaculata's play against the visiting Lady Chargers. Behind a relentless full-court press that trapped at a every available moment, Immaculata vaulted out to a 23-5 advantage by the end of the first quarter.
"Our trap was on," Jordan said. "We have to run that to be successful and run it as a collective team, which tonight we did to perfection."
The Heritage turnovers came too fast to keep track of and by halftime, the Lady Raiders held a commanding 40-16 edge.
To start the third, Immaculata finished off any thoughts of a comeback when it outscored its opponent 16-7, and then cruised to the 30-point win in the fourth.
Lainey Bell was the team's leading scorer with 20 points, followed by Ellie Wolk with 14 and Lauren Vardiman with nine. Grace Parker added eight points, Mary Kate Wolken four and Kasey Cannon and Georgia Lynn Dean each had two. Danielle Sachse contributed one point.
Immaculata, 1-0, will play at Horton Friday at 6 p.m.
"I told our girls five things that I wanted to see happen tonight," Jordan said. "Last year, it took us 15 games to do all five of those things in a game and tonight, we did them all. That just speaks to their will of wanting to be a part of this team."
Lady Spires start league play slow
In its first conference game of the season, the Saint Mary women's basketball team saw its losing streak stretch to five Thursday.
Playing at Bethel College, the Lady Spires crumpled under the Threshers' hospitality and lost 70-53. The last time USM won a game was back on Nov. 13, a 72-61 home win over Stephens College.
Saint Mary, 4-5 overall and 0-1 in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, will be at Friends University Saturday for a 5 p.m. contest.
