A word from Mayfield Bakery & Cafe
Rustic; Wood-fired; Sustainable and seasonal. These are the hallmarks of the dishes that can be enjoyed during breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Many of the dishes draw inspiration from the wonderful fresh-baked breads produced right next door at our Bakery. And all of our meals feature organic, seasonal and sustainable ingredients, many of which are prepared in the kitchen's wood-fired oven and rotisserie, which allow for long-cooked flavors, and for the simple, fresh ingredients to shine.Continued

- We love Mayfield Bakery and CafegrizzlecatDined on 9/28/2014My husband and I always have a wonderful time there, particularly when we sit in a booth. The food is reliable and we appreciate the friendly and helpful staff. What makes the restaurant special is the association with a bakery....the warm bread served when you sit down is like a Welcome sign compared to having to ask and pay for bread. We like the seasonal menus but also love that Mayfield serves staples like cheeseburgers. The only downside is the parking....we have a much better experience when we walk to lunch or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 9/26/2014Place looks great on paper but doesn't come through. Olives were tasty but cold inside and warm on the outside. Carbonara missing a layer of flavor. Came for brunch the next day and the service was AWFUL. 30 minutes for a latte. 20 minutes for syrup AFTER the french toast came. 3 tiny cubes of beef in the corned BEEF hash. After 2 back to back meals, we won't be back.
- LOVEAmazingDined on 9/25/2014We absolutely love this place. The staff is amazing and friendly. And the food is delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great birthday dinner!LinkyDined on 9/23/2014Mayfield has become a quiet favorite of ours for the consistently good food that is also a pretty good value, at least for the peninsula. Inside can be loud, but the patio outside makes for a nice place for a conversation and glass of wine. Our table of 5 agreed that the summer vegetable farroto might be the best vegetarian dish we've ever had. We also enjoyed the scallops and the artichoke and spring onion pizza, a regular favorite. We may go to Mayfield a bit less now that summer is over and we can't sit outside, but I'm sure the promise of warm olives and savory main dishes will call us back before too long.Special Features:
- Foodies will love this place!!!mb2kVIPDined on 9/23/2014Charming setting...beautiful outside dining...excellent food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood GemBillDined on 9/18/2014My wife and I have been to this restaurant almost everytime we are in Palo Alto. Food is always very good - farm to table. Some creative dishes others a bit more traditional. Nice wine list. Always very busy so it is a good thing to have reservations for what ever service you are going for. On this particular visit we had a very friendly and attentive wait person which made the meal service delightful.Special Features:
- Worst service I've ever had thereMarieVenturesDined on 9/18/2014There were3 of us for 9.30 weekday breakfast. Didn't realize weekly menu differs from weekend. Nonetheless, we were each happy with our choices, none of which came with toast; Weird as each had an egg dish. Had to ask for coffee and refills. Waiter must have changed in doe of our meal...didn't know who to order a side of toast from. Order arrived, decided to order more as it was only 2 pieces for 3 of us for $3/order. When 2nd order arrived, empty toast plate was left on table and new order put between our eating plates. Had to ask for additional coffee cream...and on it went. I was hosting two Mayfield first timers and was embarrassed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 9/17/2014I like this restaurant and lunch there on a regular basis. It is usually very good, but this day was an exception. The bacon on my BLT was very undercooked. It's my fault, in hindsight, for not sending it back. Also, we had to wait over fifteen minutes for dessert to arrive.
- taste & service match creative menuMarkVIPDined on 9/12/2014this place is not cheap but it is worth the menu - everything is great and the service is outstanding - we have been here several times and it is always a treat - we love sitting at the bar for brunch and outside for dinnerSpecial Features:
- eattoliveDined on 9/11/2014My friend from out of town and I went, he loved the homey atmosphere at Mayfield, and we both had the St. Louis Ribs special. Very nice job with a regional special. Fun.Special Features:
- first time disappointedMangiaBeneDined on 9/6/2014Our server couldn't answer our question about the wine, and - although she allegedly asked for information - brought us a sweet white wine when we specifically asked for a dry one. She wasn't flat-out rude, but was clearly uninterested in us. The pie crust was overdone to the point of being black on the edges, and my husband said some of his steak was unchewable. We've been to Mayfield Bakery many, many times, so we'll still go back. But if this had been our first time, it would be the last.I would recommend this to a friend.
- My new favorite place!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/6/2014I have recently been to this restaurant and back again, the food is fresh and totally perfect! It is my new favorite place, if I am going to spend money to eat out I want it to be very good, everything on the menu is fabulous. I cant wait to go back!! The outside chairs could be more comfortable, loved sitting outside both times, but each time felt I needed a back cushion, felt like I was leaning back too far.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/2/2014I thought the place was very noisy. the special was mixed. soup delicious but the main sandwich was not edible. of course the cookie was great. I thought it was expensive for what we got and the help was kind but very confused. they brought us wrong meal TWICE. all in all a disappointment.Special Features:
- Food is good, service is bad.OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 9/1/2014Food is good, but service is not. Everything takes a long time, they forgot specific things we ordered, and they still charged us for things they didn't bring us at the end of the bill.
- As expectedladeramomVIPDined on 9/1/2014A nice outdoor brunch with my son. Caring service, yummy breakfast!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!TiffoDined on 8/31/2014We had to wait another 10 minutes with the reservation, until a table opened up outside. I'm not a fan of outside seating because... bees. However, the food was (consistently) great. The table shared the monstrously delicious hotcake. They cottage potatoes were a huge hit with the party. Service was average.Special Features:
- AverageAndyDined on 8/31/2014Overpriced average food that doesn't inspire. No identity...not classic, not unique, not exciting. $16 for a omelet with cheese and kale thrown on top.
- BrunchHungrymomVIPDined on 8/31/2014Love the french toast & vibe. Sat outside & it was great. Service was to up to par this time... Esp for coffee. But, I'll keep going back for more!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the seasonal menulunchgalDined on 8/29/2014Never disappoints. Great spot to lunch with a friend. Eating outside under the trees is just lovely!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a Turn Around!skiyokosVIPDined on 8/26/2014After my experience at the restaurant, I didn't think that I would ever go back, but after speaking to management, they convinced me. Seating was spread-out, not everyone was crammed into the banquets. Service was prompt and friendly, the food great as always. Thank you for listening and I will be back!Special Features:
- LondonlassieVIPDined on 8/26/2014Great local fresh food. Very busy therefore very noisy. But great for lunch.Special Features:
- Pleasant Dining ExperienceAlexaVIPDined on 8/24/2014Our party of three consisted of one Chicagoan and two New Yorkers. We all found the Cafe to be an excellent choice to dine. The service, food and ambience were all well executed making it a very pleasant dining experience. Was sorry the bakery was closed for the evening, but gives us a good reason to return someday!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food and serviceMikeDVIPDined on 8/24/2014We liked this place. My wife loved her soft scrambled eggs. I hade the hash. It was OK, but a strange recipe. Hard square cubes of corned beef with about 5 small chunks of potatoes. Predominant was the barley. Lots of barley. Tasted OK, but a little strange. Service was good and attentive. We stopped by the next morning for pastries, which were excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upscale comfort foodFoodie4VIPDined on 8/23/2014Good variety of items, all done well. I'd go more often if it weren't just a little pricey.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NoisegreatbutbitnoisyDined on 8/21/2014Everything was great but inside tables now a bit noisy making it hard to hear lunch companion. This is okay outside the bar area but close to intolerable on the bar side.Special Features:
- Mayfield BakerytakemeoutDined on 8/17/2014Great food! Wonderful wait staff! We made reservations for the Sunday Brunch and I would recommend both the brunch and the reservations. Even though the place was quite busy, the wait staff was professional and attentive. Our party had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the creative menu.Special Features:
- Not up to the usual excellencePAJanDined on 8/17/2014We are fans of the Mayfield Cafe, having been there for lunch and dinner. I was disappointed, however, with the brunch. The menu, as described in print and by our helpful and friendly waitress sounded innovative but was rather ordinary. For example, the much-touted cottage potatoes were tasty but nothing special. My poached eggs arrived cold. The server managed to mix up every one of our plates (quite a feat!) but we ended up with what we had ordered. I think it was just a bad day and we will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LunchRMEDVIPDined on 8/14/2014Great lunch menu and enjoyable "happening" kind of place - casual but with a upscale feel. The service was excellent and the restaurant was extremely busy on a Thursday at 1:00 PM. We thoroughly enjoyed our "Mafield Experience".Special Features:
- chewmanVIPDined on 8/13/2014Good food but a little "pricey" for lunch. Had the "pulled chicken" sandwich which was very "tasty". Also had their pizza equally as tasty. Had a sisde of fries whih was excellent, i.e., crispy and stayed crispy.Special Features:
- Normally GoodOffCampusDinerDined on 8/12/2014I enjoy meeting people here because it is close to Stanford, but visitors don't have to deal with parking on campus. The outdoor seating, while somewhat loud, is nice and there are usually tables available indoors for lunch even without a reservation. Normally, the food is quite good, but I did have a bad experience last time around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dog friendlyOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/10/2014Great dog friendly place plus great food! Service can be slow, make sure you let management know they will make right!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodloversfoodieVIPDined on 8/9/2014Corn soup delicious; creamy and full of crunchy corn n other bits of veggies. Green salad beautiful color, very generous portion, lovely but Un remarkable taste. Tout was farmed. It was pan seared but too salty. When I removed the skin the fish was perfectlycookedbut not very tasty. The bed of veggies was deliciously flavored. And saved the dish presentation was lovely. My dates stake, the special the day was perfectly cooked n served on a very generous mound of mashed potatoes. The hot gravy served from a small pitcher was a nice touch it prevented everything from being over sauced and Mushie. The room was noisy which made it difficult to talk. The waitress in training did an excellent job and her trainer was right there beside her.Special Features:
- Divine EveningfoodieVIPDined on 8/6/2014Mayfield Bakery was a perfect segue to a Bing Concert at Stanford. The menu reflects a bounty of seasonal ingredients, prepared and presented in thoughtful deliciousness. We ate outside on a summer night, it was devine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Jazzguy 1Jazzguy1Dined on 8/3/2014Mayfield B & C has become one of our reliable eateries for a good meal before an evening concert at Stanford. The staff are careful to get us served and on our way. The shortribs continue to be a personal favorite, and other dishes which are quite good are the trout and the chicken pot pie, a Sunday special. The wine list is made notable by inclusion of 4 Turley zinfandels and other fine red and white selections. The desserts are exceptional, and we enjoyed a slice of fresh peach-blueberry pie. In the summer the pleasant weather often makes outdoor dining very comfortable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice lunch!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014The restaurant has great food for breakfast and lunch. The service is sometimes slow and it can be noisy. We sat on the patio for lunch and it was really nice. Everyone enjoyed their meals!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food and Unpretenious DiningmackleyDined on 7/31/2014Great place. Staff is always very conscious of customer requests such as a window table. It is our favorite place in Palo Alto. Mayfield has the best champagne list in the area.Special Features:
- Unbelievable, but not in a good wayskiyokosVIPDined on 7/24/2014Promptly seated, but left alone for almost 30 mins, when we approached two different servers at the tables on either side of us, they both claimed that they were not our server and someone would eventually see to us. Had to get management involved. Had a great meal and we were even given loaves of bread we assumed to compensate for the service. Bill arrived, we paid cash and even left a 20% tip, handed the cash to the server and said that we did not need change. As we sat chatting another person tossed what we thought was a receipt and walked away, we continued to chat, no one approached us, and we said goodnight and left. Upon my return home, the restaurant called to say that we didn't pay! The story goes on, but I am out of characters...
- EnjoyableMenehuneDined on 7/16/2014five of us had lunch here yesterday. We had 3 adults one teenager and one preteen. the ingredients were fresh. The food was delicious. we decided we have to go back for dessert someday. The service was great. It was friendly, attentive and efficient. The outside dining area would have been perfect. trouble is it fronts an extremely busy parking lot. It didn't seem to bother the people who opted to sit outside. I plan to go back someday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gourmandeVIPDined on 7/14/2014better for breakfast or brunch than dinner soup good thoughSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Kitchen is phoning it inOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 7/14/2014Had an OK dinner. As always, the service is fine, the full bar is a nice addition. The bavette steak was really only OK. Deep fried fingerling potatoes? That's just wrong. And they're gross. Excellent pizzas.

Stalwart rosemary, buttoned-up thyme, flirty sage, cheerful oregano: I can't pull off Thanksgiving without them. Frustratingly, I know that they will go into hibernation mode, turning dark and shriveled for the winter, about a month before the holiday feast. It is their time to truly shine, and I'm going to be stuck buying them from the grocery store instead of using them fresh out of the garden? A tragedy. And that's why I'm making herby compound butter now, and freezing it until November. I'm making two batches with oregano, thyme and rosemary, and another with just sage. Later, I'll slice them to stuff under the skin of our turkey, to brown and simmer with winter squash and to blend into mashed potatoes.
Making compound butter is an easy way to preserve fresh garden herbs. Try making butter with a single herb or a mix of several. I like to use combinations of sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary and basil.
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed fresh herb leaves
- Blend the butter with the herbs until completely mixed.
- Press the butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap into a long, narrow log. It doesn't need to look pretty; it will get smoothed out later!
- Fold the short ends of the plastic wrap in, then tightly roll up the butter in the plastic wrap lengthwise, just like the way you roll a burrito. Roll the wrapped butter back and forth on the counter to create a smooth, round log.
- Wrap the butter log in a piece of aluminum foil. Label and freeze.
Make Ahead and Storage
To freeze compound butter, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil. Butter picks up odors easily, so the foil will protect it from developing off-flavors from the other foods in your freezer. The butter should be used within 2-3 months.

More unfinished than expected
Karen from Beaumont, TX– Verified Buyer
The chairs are easy to assemble, sturdy and very nice. Great that they come unstained so I could match them to our table.
Ariel from Noblesville, IN– Verified Buyer
I put 4 of these together by myself in just a couple hours. After figuring out the -tiny- pictographic they go together in about 20 minutes each. I will finish them to match a new table soon, there is enough room between the screws to upholster the seat, which we will also be doing :) we are very pleased with them so far.
Very uneven
Kim from Metuchen, NJ– Verified Buyer
The stools were fairly easy to put together. They allow room for adjustment in the legs, however, when you tighten them, they move slightly & I could not end up getting them even - so my stools wobble quite a bit. Although it is great to be able to finish a chair in your desired finish, I had hoped to come across a Double X stool that was already finished so I didn't have to do the work!
Jennifer from MN– Verified Buyer
Got the chairs very quickly, and they seem very sturdy and good quality!
Great stool
Brandy from McKinney, TX– Verified Buyer
we bought these bar stools to match the chairs in our breakfast nook. They are very sturdy, and well built. They are very tedious to stain as the wood is absorbent on different scales. We have been working on them for some time now, but it will be worth it.
Holly from New Carlisle, OH– Verified Buyer
Distressed these chairs and they turned out amazing! Arrived in perfect condition and ready to finish. The perfect height for my eating area at the counters in my kitchen. If you love to finish furniture these turn out way better than expected
Very happy customer
len from Prattville, AL– Verified Buyer
I love these chairs! They are exactly as advertised. The quality is superb and they arrived quickly with no damage. The price was just to good to pass up. I found the same stools locally for a much higher price and they were unfinished. So this is a good price for quality items with only a little work on my part!
Solid and sturdy
Lesley from Wichita, KS– Verified Buyer
These are nice solid stools at a good price and ready for me to paint. The only downside would be a small gap between the seat and back of the stool that catches small crumbs and is hard to clean.
Carey from UT– Verified Buyer
These bar stools are really good qaulity but I did run into a few problems. We had to stain them when we recieved them and there was actual visual glue where they had been glued together and to get that off we had to sand it multiple, multiple times and the stain wouldnt take very well. So it doesnt have the best look.
Great chairs!
Margaret from Huntsville, AL– Verified Buyer
Shipping was fast as promised and the bar stools were very sturdy. My husband had no problems putting them together!!

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Some vacant buildings at one of Minnesota's most historic sites could be getting new life.
The state is asking for redevelopment proposals for 32 acres of Fort Snelling's Upper Post. The vacant buildings, constructed about 100 years ago, include a hospital, morgue and barracks.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says the Department of Natural Resources would lease the buildings to developers. They sit on a bluff overlooking the Minnesota River valley. The Upper Post buildings are unheated and have been unused for more than 40 years.
The properties available for redevelopment make up about a third of the old Upper Post land. Past redevelopment of parts of the Upper Post have included federal housing for homeless veterans and an "urban base camp" for Boy Scouts.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have heard so many good things about East Limestone High. I am glad my children will be able to attend in the next few years!
The teachers and coaches here are just putting in time so they can retire and help there children in sports if they are the coaches. There is a lot of politics going on in the school and it is run down terribly. Seems there not putting any money into the school!
Me and my wife have nieces that go to ELHS, 1 graduated this last year the other just started 6th grade there. My wife is a teacher (in another school system) and has had to straighten out my nieces schedule last year, a friend of hers and her boy friends (who is attending ELHS this year) schedules for graduation. The counselors at ELHS are not up to date on new state policies and what is required for graduation and I have seen first hand my wife having to tell parents (of students that go to ELHS) new state policies so there kids could be put into the right classes to be on track for graduation. Counselors at ELHS have no clue whats going on. We were going to move into the school system, but have decided to move elsewhere after experiencing the problems first hand.
I am a freshman at ELHS and I believe that the funds are not distrubuted equally. The football and cheerleading programs are given more money that any other activity. I know especially the band is in debt. It seems to me that the most important thing to this school isn't academics but sports, namely football.
I am in 6th grade at East, and it is an awesome school. Both the athletics and sports program are one of the best in the state
I am an eighth grader at East and am in athletics and I love it. I mean,we might not have the best of things but it's cool.
I am in the eighth grade at East Limestone Middle School. Even though ELMS doesn't have the best quality school buiding, they do the best they can with what they have! I just moved there and I was very worried about making friends and fitting in. But everyone is so warm and welcoming! That is why I am looking forward to the next four years in High School there!! Thanks- a student.(:
I have 2 children in East - one in Middle School and one in High School. I believe the system is doing its best with what it has available for them. Both of my kids have gone to East Limestone schools since Kindergarten.
East Limestone High School is an outstanding and phenomenal facility. Compared to the other high schools in Limestone County, East Limestone is arguably the best. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a good education.
I went to East limstone 4th-12th grade i just graduated May of 2007 i liked it there, my senior year was the best, yeah the school needs some work but as long as the kids get there education thats all that should matter.
My daughter started at East for her 10th grade year this year. She came from a private school and was behind in credits. She is catching up this year and loving it. She is fitting right in. The teachers and the support staff are all great. The positive change in our daughter is remarkable. The kids have really welcomed her in with open arms. Looking forward to the next 2 years.
East Limestone is the best county school Limestone County has to offer.
I am a former student of East Limestone School. I attended East Limestone from K-12. The school is your typical county school--mediocre academic syllabus, mediocre teaching, etc. Thankfully, my husband and I have moved our daughter from the East Limestone area.
I moved my children from the Madison School System and I couldn't be more happy with my decision. The attention that is given to the students and parents is wonderful. You could not ask for a more dedicated Principal or Teachers.
I am a 1997 ELHS gradute. And I still loves those Indians!! Still to this day can't imagine growing up anywhere else. Our teachers/coaches worked hard everyday not only to educate us but to instill family values, morales, and a sense of community in all of us. I was a varsity cheerleader/softball player from the time that I was in the 8th grade unitl I graduated. Still to this day some of my best memories are of being on that football field on friday nights, and playing ball on those hot summer days. It still amazes me how much my teachers/coaches truly cared about us. I still come home for friday night games and my old teahers/coaches call me by name, hug me, and ask how my family is doing. I am proud to be an Indian, and one day I will have my own little Indians. GO INDIANS!! K. Thomas
Our children went to private schools in this area before attending ELHS. Academically ELHS is just as good as the private schools. When dealing with admin, teachers, and discipline, we found ELHS to be a better school. The quality of the individual attention and the concern of the teachers/admin staff makes ELHS a safe and well-balanced environment for any student. My children have developed a fondness for academics, eagerness to be involved in school activities, and career goals that far excel normal expectations. This is the public school system's answer to those looking for private school education. Parent involvement is at the same level as with other public and most private schools - you always have the group that does most of it. My children have attend several private schools in the past - they will graduate from the best - ELHS!
We tried East Limestone with our children for a few years. It's like any other Government school. It's purpose is to train and condition for a predetermined outcome, not to educate. There's a vast difference between training / conditioning and a quality education. Moving to Madison County won't help because it's the school system, not the location. Better buildings won't help your children. It's the Government school system that's the problem. Remember, the Government can't even balance a check book. Do you really want to trust your children to them? My advice, find a good quality private school. I live in the East Limestone district but drive my Children to a good private school in Huntsville everyday. Try giving of yourself for a change. It will take lot's of your money and time. But remember, your children spell love TIME. That means YOU and YOUR TIME and resources. Good luck.
I attended East Limestone from K-12. I agree that the school buildings are old and in need of serious repairs. The teachers, for the most part, are wonderful and if the student is there to learn the academics are there. The buildings are not going to fall in anytime soon (with the exception of the old gym) and the school needs more money for more classes. The students are in a great need for diffrent class other than PE for an elective. I will not knock the faculty because they do the best with what they are given to provide as much education as possible.
Of course the school is need of repair as are many other schools in the area. East Limestone is a fast growing area with a great influx of new students every year, but unless people are willing to pay higher property taxes or raise money for a new school there is certainly no funding available. Overall I am very please with E. Limestone in comparison to other county or city schools. If you want your children to attend brand new schools, then pay the price to live in Madison and send them there. Otherwise I say let's keep the old school and work toward a better curriculum for our children.
I concur that the school is in need or repair. There is so much revenue growth in new construction of houses, and influx of new residents. I just moved to the area and I am trying my best to find a different school for my children to attend. The administration seems to not understand the fact that environmental surrounding does play a role in academics. Children to be focused on their work and accomplishments, not the deterioration of the school. Prisons look better than E. Limestone School.

Good day,
I hope you can help me.
We have Inventor DWG templates that I have created based on our AutoCAD DWG templates. We chose the INV DWG route to simplify template creation. However, our logo has a gradient hatch with the 'O', something which Inventor cannot handle.
So we now modify the logo only, changing the 'O' to an embedded bitmap image. The same goes for the ISO logo.
After doing this, I noticed the drawings were increasing in size, at a much higher rate than detail I was addding to the drawings. If I go to Tools > Links, i see that the bitmaps are being replicated, over and over (seems like after every save, or every time the drawing is opened). The count can hit around 45 embeddings!
The problem is that the logo randomly drops off (on screen and after printing) due to there being too many embeddings, and I cannot save the Inventor DWG to an AutoCAD DWG any longer (clients request editable DWGs).
Question : How do I stop the embedding replications? Or at least purge them out...
Attached : Drawing with all views deleted. Notice file size of 8mb. Normal size around 1.4mb from template file.

Hobby began his career in public service in 1959, serving as parliamentarian of the Texas Senate. Under President Lyndon B. Johnson, he served on the Presidential Task Force on Suburban Problems and the National Citizens Advisory Committee on Vocational Rehabilitation. In 1969, he was appointed to the Texas Air Control Board and the Senate Interim Committee on Welfare Reform. Hobby was elected lieutenant governor of Texas in 1972, and he won re-election in 1974, 1978, 1982, and 1986. During his tenure, he promoted policies to improve the state budget-making process, chaired the Hobby-Clayton Commission which recommended the Texas Sunset Act (1970s), and served on the Select Committee on Public Education (1983-1984).

Italian drone to map ancient Sumerian sites in southern Iraq
By Basem al-Rikabi
Azzaman, March 21, 2014
Italian archaeologists excavating ancient sites in southern Iraq plan to use a drone to survey the ruins of Ur and the surrounding areas, the Governor of Dihqar Province Mohammed Baqer said.
Baqer said the drone was already flown to a nearby base and his provincial authorities have obtained government approval to use it to map ancient sites.
He said a delegation from the Italian foreign ministry and representatives from the Italian archaeological expedition in Iraq discussed the details of how to fly the drone the government.
"The mapping of ancient sites will start soon via an Italian-made drone. It will survey and provide pictures with minute details of the city of Ur and the ancient sites in its vicinity," he said.
Ur was the capital of Sumer, the earliest Iraqi civilization which saw the birth writing and the invention of a civil and urban system based on city-states in 3000 B.C.
The drone, he said, will fly at an altitude of 150 meters providing the scientists with details the will help them draw an accurate archaeological map of the region.
The Italians are among the most active foreign archaeologists in Iraq. They have resumed excavations in earnest and are currently digging ancient sites and renovating a temple in Ur.
The Province of Dhiqar, of which the city of Nasiriya is the capital, is the richest in antiquities in Iraq.
It is the site where Sumerian civilization flourished and according to Bager it has at least 1200 archaeologically significant sites most of which unexcavated.

Jon Lipsitz is asking for a little help from the Big Blue Nation to decide the top moment of the 2013 women's soccer season. Watch the video above, pick a moment and tweet it with the hash tag #UKWSTopMoment to cast your vote.
Four minutes rarely amounts to much in the lives of the 18-22-year olds who make up the teams remaining in the NCAA Women's Soccer Tournament, but in 2013 that amount of time served as a blessing in disguise for Kentucky.
The Wildcats became a group of walking wounded late in the regular season due to the piling up of injury upon injury. Come last Friday's first-round game, the Wildcats had to recall a player who was thought to be out for the season: Courtney Raetzman.
In fact the UK staff had applied to officially end her season so as to grant her an entire additional season of eligibility due to injury hardship, but NCAA rules denied the request.
The technicality? She had played four minutes too many to qualify for a medical redshirt.
Those four minutes may have seemed trivial if not cruel earlier this season, but as it turned out they were key in allowing the Wildcats to advance to Friday's 10:30 p.m. ET second-round matchup at UCLA.
Raetzman was a revelation in UK's first-round victory over Ohio State.
Her performance was all-the-more impressive given she was wearing what looked to be an extremely restrictive brace, apparently to protect against reinjury.
"We've got a gutsy kid in Courtney Raetzman that was back," head coach Jon Lipsitz said. "I mean, Courtney has been out since the seventh game of the year. She actually played four minutes too much for us to be able to look at redshirting her this year, so everything that she did was, I'm going to find a way back, I'm going to find a way, I'm going to get back on the field.
"And a week ago, she wasn't even really going full-go in training. Just two days ago, she was finally cleared to train, tackle, do everything. For that kid to come back in and play like that, it's unbelievable."
The impact of Raetzman's play cannot be overstated, and her return helped UK in tactical terms, but the comeback also was also helpful in ways less quantifiable. When a player works that hard and gets back onto the pitch so quickly and so effectively, teammates apparently take a great deal of inspiration.
"Anytime you get a player back on the field from injury, it's great," All-SEC forward Arin Gilliland said. "We're a family here and being able to have someone on the field that really makes a difference once again is a great feeling and it brings so much energy back to the field and it gets everyone excited."
The team's excitement at Raetzman's return translated into goals galore and a win, but similar stories have been widespread across the team in 2013. Such unexpected stories of perseverance seem necessary for a team like UK, which has lost so much talent because of injury to be able to make it as far as UK has.
Caitlin Landis's 2013 journey is yet another example of a player who spent part of the season on the periphery of Lipsitz's first choice lineup only to play a pivotal role once the NCAA Tournament came around.
Landis, a senior, began the season by losing a starting place which she had held for much of her career, but like many other Wildcats, injuries to others forced her back into heavy playing time.
Apparently the adversity brought out a new level in Landis's game, which was on full display when the forward opened the scoring in the 3-1 win over Ohio State.
"The way she sees the field and her ability to play other players in now is something she didn't have before," Lipsitz said earlier this season. "She was not starting early in the year, and we made some adjustments ... She has put a stranglehold on it ever since. I hope she feels like I was totally wrong when I wasn't starting her early.
"I hope she looks at me every day and thinks, 'You are an idiot,' because I want my players to want to be on the field and think they deserve to be. She was ready when her number was called and she's been ready ever since."
And then there's the case of Ashley VanLandingham, whose season has in many ways been best exemplified by not even four minutes, but only a matter of seconds.
The senior captain started the trend of UK women's soccer players suffering untimely injuries as she was declared out for the season with a knee problem last spring.
Nonetheless she was named a team captain, and served this season as UK's loudest player offering support from the sidelines during games and as one of the Wildcats' most influential leaders.
VanLandingham's symbolic minutes came on senior day, when she started the game with the opening kickoff being played out of bounds before she showed her rehab progress by jogging off for an immediate substitute. The move was a nice in-game touch of ceremony, which served as a sort of reward for a player who had given so much to the program.
"I had recruited Ashley to go to Charlotte when I was coach there as she is from North Carolina," Lipsitz said. "What a leap of faith on her part to come play here at Kentucky. That's special, but as much fun as it was to watch her on the field her progression as a leader this year despite not playing is the most special thing of all."
The senior captain's one minute of play this season had almost no direct impact on the events, which transpired on the field during UK's game that day or any other wins. Yet, just like Raetzman's return or Landis' ability to be a team-first player while on the bench, the ceremonial start represented off-field work, which helped UK in ways less visible but still important.
Every Tuesday, UK Athletics recognizes outstanding performances for our student-athletes. These are the honorees for the week ending Sunday, Nov. 17:
Women's soccer: Arin Gilliland
Arin Gilliland, who is a MAC Hermann Award Watch List candidate, scored the game-winning goal in the 53rd minute, collecting her team-leading 12th goal of the season on a breakaway slotted far post. Gilliland also tabbed an assist on Kentucky's third goal from, freshman Zoe Swift, for her fourth multi-point game of the season, which also leads the team and ties for the SEC lead.
Women's soccer: Caitlin Landis
Caitlin Landis scored the game-opening goal in the 50th minute, putting home a rebound off a re-fire from a corner kick. The goal for the senior was her fourth of the season as she put Kentucky up 1-0 early.
Volleyball: Alexandra Morgan
Senior Alexandra Morgan had a tremendous week for the Wildcats as UK went 2-0 with a pair of sweeps on the road at Mississippi State and Ole Miss. Morgan opened the weekend by leading UK to a season-high 19 blocks. The Birmingham, Ala., native had a career-high 11 rejections which marked the most blocks by a Wildcat in a single match in the 25-point rally scoring era. She also contributed seven kills on a .438 hitting clip, as UK as a unit only managed to hit at a .186 clip. Against Ole Miss, she again led the squad with six total blocks to run her total to 17 for the two matches at a rate of a stunning 2.83 per set. She added six kills on .400 hitting. For the weekend, Morgan went errorless with 13 kills at a .419 clip and registered 4.00 points per set, just behind Whitney Billings' 4.08 per set who plays in every rotation.
Men's basketball: Julius Randle
- Recorded a double-double in both games this week. He's just the fifth player in program history to begin the season with four-straight double-doubles, and the first since Reggie Hanson achieved the feat to begin the 1989-90 season.
- His 27-point, 13-rebound effort against Michigan State gave him a third-straight 20-point, 10-rebound game to become the first Division I freshman to open with three-straight 20-10 games since Kansas State's Michael Beasley in 2007.
- His 54 rebounds to begin his career are the most of any player in the John Calipari era.
- Had a career-high two blocks against Robert Morris.
- Scored 23 points and had nine rebounds as UK erased a 14-point second half deficit to even the game late in the second half vs. No. 2 Michigan State.
Men's basketball: James Young
- Had a break-out offensive weekend for the Wildcats with a career-high 19 points against second-ranked Michigan State
- Scored in double-figures in both games this week
- Has sunk at least one 3-pointer in all four games this season for UK
- Had career-highs of points, rebounds and field goals made against Michigan State
- Logged career-highs in assists (3) and steals (2) in a win over Robert Morris
Jon Lipsitz saw an opportunity.
His team having finally broken through five minutes into the second half on a goal by Caitlin Landis, Lipsitz shouted from the bench, "Intensity."
Not willing to settle for a 1-0 lead in Kentucky's NCAA Tournament opener against Ohio State, he demanded more. Lipsitz wanted the Wildcats to go in for the kill.
"That's what I sensed," Lipsitz said. "That it was the moment and it was time and not to let them off the hook."
In less than three minutes, the Cats delivered.
Following through on her coach's sideline direction, Arin Gilliland created a breakaway chance with a tackle at midfield and raced into the box before calmly slotting a shot far post past the outstretch hands of Buckeye keeper Jillian McVicker.
Gilliland's approach in tallying her team-high 11th goal was but one example of the relentlessness Lipsitz wants his players to show.
"I wanted our forwards to have a mentality where you're just assassins," Lipsitz said. "You just refuse to be stopped and you're just going to go and go and go."
On Friday night, they went and went and went.
Each member of the the attacking trio of Gilliland, Landis and Zoe Swift scored a goal in Kentucky's 3-1 win over Ohio State. They fired 19 shots between the three of them and tallied a pair of assists.
"We literally were probably in each other's head is how I felt," Gilliland said. "Anytime I would look up and want them to be in a certain spot, they were there. And I'm sure they felt the exact same way. It was just this connection we had today in the game and it's a soccer player's dream to have that."
From the opening kickoff, the three forwards were firing on all cylinders, but a goal escaped them during the first half. With 12 shots and five corners in the first half, UK dominated everywhere but the place where it counts: the scoreboard.
In the halftime locker room, Lipsitz was sure to point out to the Cats how well they had played. However, he's not a believer that past opportunities serve as any indication that goals are forthcoming.
"It's not going to come unless we make it come," Lipsitz told his team. "It doesn't just happen. We have to make the decision it's going to happen."
After the way UK practiced this week, Lipsitz had little doubt the Cats would make that decision.
"I'm not one for a lot of coach-speak," Lipsitz said, "so when I got interviewed this week I said, 'Look, this is the best week of training we've had. We're really sharp. We've done the work and we've prepared and we're taking care of details and we're ready.' "
Starting last Monday, Lipsitz organized training sessions leading up to the NCAA Tournament as if UK were preparing for its season opener.
"The beginning of the week, we were just getting at it and it felt like another preseason just going after each other and being physical," Landis said.
Swift -- one of a handful of freshmen playing featured roles on an injury-depleted team -- got some personalized coaching during UK's second training camp.
Lipsitz has pushed Swift all season long and she's responded almost all the time, earning All-Southeastern Conference Freshman Team honors and scoring nine goals, including the one she had Friday. But during UK's second preseason, Lipsitz refined her role and put Swift back in her comfort zone.
"I think he brought me back in so I could feel more confident," Swift said. "But then I know he's just going to bring me back out of my comfort zone. I'm just getting ready for it."
Swift didn't have to wait long for her first NCAA win, but the same can't be said about the UK program. Last year, the Cats won in the tournament for the first time in program history, prompting an emotional postgame press conference for Lipsitz.
This time around, the feeling was different. Winning on Friday was about living up to expectations.
"Our standards are: We're hosting the first round of the NCAA Tournament, we've earned it and we win," Lipsitz said. "That's our standard now."
Landis and her fellow seniors have played a central role in building the UK program toward reaching that standard. The Cats have played and hosted in the NCAA Tournament three straight years now and advanced to the second round back-to-back times.
The senior forward was briefly willing to reflect on her time at UK, but she's not ready to start using the past tense just yet. Landis is too busy thinking about a matchup with either No. 2 UCLA or San Diego State next Friday.
"Going at it and getting better, it's a fun experience and I'm going to really miss it," Landis said. "But, yeah, we're not done yet."
Through tough training sessions, the junior star helped keep UK loose with her goofy personality. As Jon Lipsitz pushed the Wildcats to reach their potential, Gilliland was always there to lighten the mood with a friendly jab at her coach.
"I kind of kept everyone laughing," Gilliland said.
But a few weeks ago, Gilliland -- a First Team All-Southeastern Conference performer -- realized she needed to change.
In UK's final regular-season home match on Oct. 27, Stuart Pope -- the yin to Gilliland's yang -- went down. The team's second-leading scorer, Pope would miss the rest of the season with a knee injury that would require reconstructive surgery.
Like Gilliland, Pope had a clearly defined role.
When a stern message needed to be delivered, it was the junior midfielder who spoke up. When the team wasn't as focused at it needed to be, Pope was always there to remind the Cats of their goals and the work it would take to reach them.
In matches, UK would clearly miss Pope's dynamic play in the midfield, but her absence was felt immediately in practice. With their task master gone, the Cats began to flounder.
"We weren't paying attention to the details," Gilliland said. "We weren't doing all the little things that needed to be done that Stuart would get on people about."
With the SEC and NCAA tournaments still ahead, Gilliland decided to put on her serious face.
"When I saw that and Stuart's over on the sideline doing her rehab like she should be and no one was taking initiative, I kind of realized, look, this is going to continue to go on if someone doesn't do anything," Gilliland said.
Gilliland gathered her teammates and told them the role she had filled for most of her three seasons was going to change. With UK's home first-round NCAA Tournament matchup (Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET) with Ohio State (10-6-3, 4-5-2 Big Ten) fast approaching, the Cats (13-6-1, 7-5-0 SEC) have responded.
"I think this week's been our best week of training since preseason," Lipsitz said. "We are just really sharp. We have a better idea of who can play and who can't. It seems like every week we were adjusting to another player being out and I think we know who we are now."
Considering that Pope's injury is only the latest in a string of misfortunes that might have undone a lesser team, it's impressive that UK has even reached this point. It started when senior captain Ashley VanLandingham went out with a season-ending knee injury of her own in the spring and continued when sophomore Courtney Raetzman was lost before conference play, but the Cats never stopped.
"The fact that we've been able to overcome the adversity just proves the depth of this team and the passion and drive that we have to be the best that we can be this year," Gilliland said.
Simply being tabbed to host a first-round NCAA Tournament match for the third straight season is an accomplishment, but it's not one UK is willing to settle for.
Two years ago, the Cats were elated to just make it to the biggest stage in their game. Last year, they were eager to win the first NCAA game in school history. With that memorable extra-time victory in their back pocket, the Cats are ready for more.
"Once you get over the hump and get that first, I think your preparation's very different, I really do," Lipsitz said.
Standing in UK's way is an opponent familiar to Lipsitz.
Before he went on to head-coaching stops at Charlotte and now Kentucky, Lipsitz was an assistant at Ohio State from 2001-04 under Lori Walker, who is in her 17th season leading the Buckeyes.
"I think I know them very well and I think they know us very well," Lipsitz said. "Obviously it's a coaching staff that I deeply respect. I coached at Ohio State with Lori. She's obviously done a tremendous job. Her two assistants (Glen Tourville and Jason Goodson), they're great friends of mine."
Lipsitz mentioned defensive organization, set pieces and finishing as keys to the game, but he won't overload his team with information. The Cats, after all, have been working toward this moment from the preseason's first practice.
"All those little details that get worked on early in the season are about preparing for now," Lipsitz said. "They just keep talking about, 'Take care of the details. You've been coached to do these things, trust this process and we know that we'll be successful.' "
UK will host Ohio State at 7:30 p.m. ET in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. On Wednesday, head coach Jon Lipsitz previewed his team's matchup with the Buckeyes.
Stay tuned for a story on the game later on Thursday and, if you haven't already, make plans to attend by contacting the UK Ticket Office or calling 1.800.928.2287.
Given all the adversity the UK women's soccer team has faced in recent weeks and months, Jon Lipsitz and the Wildcats aren't taking much for granted these days.
So the Cats expressed a great deal of appreciation when they learned they will host the first round of the NCAA Tournament vs. Ohio State on Friday.
"If you would have told me before the season started, the injuries that we would have had in the spring, over the summer and during the season, and we would be sitting in this spot, I would have told you that there is absolutely no way," Lipsitz said. "I am so proud of this group. When I look at the list of programs around the country with tremendous support and fantastic support that were not selected, I think that says so much about the work that we have done."
The Wildcats have endured multiple injuries to key players throughout the year. The run of bad luck seemed to start when senior captain Ashley VanLandingham went out with a season-ending knee injury in the spring. Since then, it has seemed as though as soon as one player stepped forward to pick up slack for a sidelined contributor another key Wildcat has gone down.
"You have a group of young women here that have fought through everything," Lipsitz said. "Whenever anything went wrong we came back and played another game. Then something else would go wrong and we would come back and just keep playing the games. I would have been stunned before the season to ever have imagined us having gone through what we have, and still be selected to the NCAA Tournament."
And the surreal feel of Monday's NCAA Tournament bid announcement was not limited to the UK coach. For UK's veteran nucleus, the thought of a third straight appearance on college soccer's biggest stage could only be considered a dream when the Cats arrived in Lexington.
"As seniors, we didn't have any hope of making the NCAA Tournament during our freshman year," goalie Kayla King said. "We were lucky to go to the SEC Tournament. Now to be a senior and to have the privilege to be on a great team that has made the NCAA Tournament the last three years is difficult to describe. The NCAA Tournament doesn't really compare to anything else, and to host is huge."
Yet as exciting and momentous as Monday's announcement was, Lipsitz and his team are not satisfied with just making it. They are, in fact, so unsatisfied that they've been training with an eye on the upcoming game for more than a week already.
"I said to the team about 10 days ago that it's two weeks of preseason to get ready for what is now this upcoming Friday night," Lipsitz said. "Even the training sessions we have had since we have gotten back from the SEC Tournament have been fantastic. Yesterday was one of the most intense training sessions we have had.
"We have gone back to the basics. We have gone back to preaching what we have to do to be successful. We started talking about a two-week preseason instead of suddenly finding out on Monday who we play, and from there trying to prepare. This way we have already been preparing. We have been getting ready for this moment, and we will play our best because of that."
The Wildcats preparations will continue, now with specific considerations for Ohio State, but UK will also enter Friday night with the experience from the program's first NCAA Tournament victory last season.
The Wildcats will be hoping it will pay dividends come Friday.
"Everything we take is experience," Lipsitz said. "We will rely on that. We will rely on our senior leadership more than anything to get us ready. Every single thing we have gone through in five years helps us all get ready. You don't have experience in the NCAAs until you are there.
"It's one of those things that is so difficult. How do you get experience without being there? The answer is you don't. We learned so much from playing Washington State two years ago. Tying that game and losing on penalty kicks really left a bad taste in our mouths. We all wanted to be the first last year. We wanted to win the first game for UK in the NCAA Tournament."
Lipsitz and his players continue to look back on the 2012 NCAA Tournament win as a stepping stone for the program, but they have also spoken all season about wanting to continue moving forward.
"Now it's not about being the first," Lipsitz said. "It's about achieving to the best of our ability. I think that comes from experience."
Every Tuesday, UK Athletics recognizes outstanding performances for our student-athletes. These are the honorees for the week ending Sunday, October 27:

MAC Hermann Award finalist Arin Gilliland netted her team-high 11th goal of the season in the 64th minute to draw even with the Tigers. Gilliland now has 11 goals and nine assists for 31 points on the season. With three points this weekend, Gilliland now has 72 career points, which is fifth all-time in UK history.
Women's soccer: Caitlin Landis
Senior Caitlin Landis scored her 21st-career goal on Friday night, as she is now the active career goal-scoring leader for Kentucky. The Milton, Penn., native has 12 points this season, with four goals and four assists. Landis had the assist on the game-tying goal on Sunday afternoon to Arin Gilliland, and was a crucial component for the other two goals in the UK offensive attack.
Volleyball: Alexandra Morgan
Senior Alexandra Morgan had a terrific week for the Wildcats en route to a 2-1 week, with the only loss a heartbreaking 3-2 loss with a 23-21 score in the fifth set. Morgan averaged 2.50 kills per set on a team-high .436 hitting clip. She also averaged a team-high 1.25 blocks per set and ranked second on the team with 3.54 blocks per frame. She began the week with an 11-kill performance at Georgia which was the first double-figure kill effort in conference play of the season for the middle blocker. She also posted a team-best six blocks in the match and added a season-high three service aces. Against Mississippi State she notched five kills on a .400 hitting clip while adding a trio of blocks. Against her home-state team, Alabama, she posted a season-high 14 kills on a blistering .619 hitting percentage while adding six block assists. With a .436 hitting clip and 55 attempts on the week, Morgan moved into second-place all-time in the history of the UK program for hitting percentage with a career-clip of .346.
Volleyball: Anni Thomasson
Freshman Anni Thomasson continues to bring a consistent presence to the Wildcat lineup. Thomasson contributes in every facet of the game and this week was no exception as UK earned a 2-1 week against league foes with the only loss coming in five-set fashion with the fifth set resulting in a 23-21 score. Thomasson notched a career-high three assists and a career-best four blocks against the Bulldogs while adding seven kills and nine digs. She received 42 attempts from the serve-receive line and did not commit a single error. Against Mississippi State she reached double-figure kills for the fourth time in her career and with 12 resulting as a career-best in league competition. She laid down her kills with a .357 hitting clip, while adding three digs and a pair of blocks. In the four-set win over Alabama, Thomasson notched six kills, and 10 digs. She has topped the 10-dig plateau on six occasions in her young career. She also aided the Wildcat cause with a pair of assists.
Early in the second half of Sunday's UK women's soccer game, it looked as though Senior Day would end on a sour note, but apparently Caitlin Landis and the rest of the seniors didn't want their final regular season home match to end in a loss.
Down a goal 51 minutes in, being forced to endure yet another injury to a key player -- this time attacking play-maker Stuart Pope -- continuing to be frustrated by LSU's physical defensive tactics and having spurned countless scoring chances for a second straight game, Jon Lipsitz finally vocalized his frustrations from the touch line on the hour mark.
"Grit is something we've been talking about a lot," Lipsitz said. "The only clips of the Missouri game I showed the team yesterday were our missed chances and our lack of toughness. That was it, that's all I cared about. I thought the first half was very difficult because we had so many special chances. We had a lot of chances where we had actually pulled the goalie outside the frame of the goal, and we still missed the open goal.
"Of course the challenge at halftime was are we going to continue to play well or are we going to get our heads down? We got scored on, and I thought scoring pretty soon after was huge because it helped us relax, and get back into our play."
Less than five minutes after Lipsitz loudly voiced his concerns, and 13 minutes after LSU's goal, Landis created another goal-scoring chance, and finally someone tucked it home.
From there the Wildcats took control of the game, but as 3-1 score lines go, Sunday's result was a gritty as they come. Even with the plethora of first-half chances the Wildcats struggled to find their comfortable possession-based playing rhythm. Still UK found a way to produce a positive outcome when the pressure of two straight losses and all that would go along with another bad result was beginning to mount.
"We talk a lot here about wanting pressure," Lipsitz said. "You want pressure. If you lose all your games, you don't have any pressure. We're in a situation now where we're fighting for an NCAA bid and a place in the SEC Tournament. There is pressure on us. That's what we want. We want players that love that."
The Wildcats have dealt well with such pressure all season, having won the game following a loss three times this season and drawn after the only other loss.
Landis's assist on the equalizer continued a strong weekend as she scored a game-tying goal in Friday's double-overtime match, but her goals and ability to create chances meant more to UK than just affecting the score sheet.
Landis and the rest of UK's seniors' ability to respond to the team falling behind or facing other forms of adversity has led the team by example, embodying exactly what Lipsitz asks of his leaders: grit.
"They have to be our leaders, and they have been," Lipsitz said of the players honored as part of Senior Day festivities. "Each one of them has a special story. Each one of them has different trials and tribulations that they've gone through to get to this point. I'm so proud of them. Every time I felt like I was going to get a little choked up I just kept looking at them and going, 'This is fantastic. I shouldn't be upset; I should be happy.' I just kept reminding myself how much I enjoy coaching them."
Sunday's comeback had to be all the more enjoyable for Lipsitz due to his teams response, led in part by seniors like Landis.
"Cat Landis has learned so much in her career," Lipsitz said. "She is playing her best soccer, by far her best soccer at the end. It's not just getting a great goal on Friday for example. She's scored some really good goals. The way she sees the field and her ability to play other players in now is something she didn't have before.
"She was not starting early in the year, and we made some adjustments. I said, 'Hey Cat, it's your time.' It was the next person up. She has put a stranglehold on it ever since. I hope she feels like I was totally wrong when I wasn't starting her early. I hope she looks at me every day and thinks, 'You are an idiot,' because I want my players to want to be on the field and think they deserve to be. She was ready when her number was called and she's been ready ever since."

What is Oedipus' hamartia, or tragic flaw? Is there only one? What is Medea's? Do they share any weaknesses?
Brian McGill
Medea as a woman is first of all smart, NOT stupid. She has the power to kill, as well as love. Medea would fight in a battle as oposid to giveing birth to childern. Medea does try to take guidence from the other women, but in the end she does what will cause to most damage to jason and his whole kingdom. She KILLS her childern!
Medea will come to to regret this soon enough, but is is her drive to do harm to Jason that causes her to pretty much her control over her thoughts.
Sandy Callaway
Medias tragic flaw was her passionate love for Jason. Her rage was a result Jason not being able to return that same depth of love to her. Media proved her passionate love for Jason when she killed her own brother. Media would have done anything for Jason. She is further enraged when Jason does not give her credit for her actions but gives them to the Goddess Aphrodite. Media decides that if he cannot love with her with the same depth of passion then he will feel the same depth of pain his betrayal has brought on her. Media decides not to kill Jasonbecause that would be to easy for him. Media decides that by killing his children Jason will feel the depth of the pain loving him has caused her. Letting him live with that pain was the ultimate revenge.
brian Mcgill
The flaws that this story has is great , the gold dress to start off, is poisoned, is going to kill the princess. The dress used a a weapon is something odd, why not a club or sword to kill off Jason and King Kreron? The flaw of Jason is he is a brut, he has wondering eyes, The other flaws is he is a man.
Jason brings Medea to his lands, she is the one who kills her own people in her land, she has the flaw of being to impulsive.
This story showes humans are flawed in ways of love, revence, and in acting on feelings of good intent showen by the Nurse.
Shannon Colbert
group one
Medea's tragic flaw is her passion and undying love for Jason. He left her with a broken heart and she is raged and mad as any woman would be. She claims to the women of corrinth that she is hurt and that her pain should go revenged upon Jason and the women agree with her. The passion corrupted her mind to make her slightly insane until Kreon came upon her to ask her to leave. She gathered her mind of sanity back and came up with a plan of revenge upon the king, his daughter and Jason. Her tragic flaw of so much love for Jason put her in the position to hurt him as much as he hurt her so she consumed a power of selflessness and killed their two children where Jason will pain forever for the loss of his two sons.
Connie Hong
I agree that Medea's tragic flaw is her overflowing love for Jason. She loved him so much that his ignorance towards her fueled her rage to revenge her title as a woman. She wanted him to feel the pain she was inflicted by him and the only way out was to kill the people close to him.
Donna Sewell
Oedipus' tragic flaw is his curiosity. He is curious about who killed Laius. He is curious about who are his biological parents. Due to his curiosity he finds himself as the prime suspect of Laius' murder and also the husband of his biological mother. Neither of which he would have discovered if he had not went in search of answers.
Oedipus' pride is also a tragic flaw. He shows his pride when he promises the people he will find and punish Laius' murderer, before he realizes that HE is the murderer. But because of his promise he still feels compelled to bring forth the punishment, even when he discovers that he is the one who will suffer.
Like Oedipus, Medea's pride is her tragic flaw. She is concerned about how others will treat her once she loses Jason. She is also concerned with how her two sons will be treated since their father has left them for another wife. Medea describes death as less painful than living alone and betrayed.
Katherine Bates
I agree with Oedipus' tragic flaw, however, in the case of Medea, I still feel as though it is passion that serves as her tragic flaw. Medea commits murder to her brother and Pelias all because of Jason. Pride and worrying about how she appears does not seem to be the case because frankly, she does not care. Medea feels secure of being a foreigner because she feels safe in Jason's love. Medea's passion causes her to seek revenge, not necessarily her pride, because wouldn't she be worried how she looked then, killing her own sons?
Quianna Williams
Oedipus' tragic flaw is that he is that he is blind regarding the truth about his own lineage, and about the grave state of his kingdom. Oedipus refuses to see the obvious facts regarding the death of his own father, and the notion that he has not only married his mother, but has committed the great crime of insest, by having children with his mother. Even with Tiresias prophecy that Oedipus is indeed the cause of the plague on the city, Oedipus is metaphorically blinded to the truth.
Madea's tragic flaw would be her initial eagerness to please her husband, Jason, by habitually tricking others to murder, and gain others trust to assist her in the deeds that ulimately causes Jason to lose his fiancee', father in law, and his two children that were bore by Medea.
The weakness that both characters share is their swiftness to intervene in situations without giving though of consequences. Oedipus curses the murderer of the prior king, and even when the truth is presented, he is still in denial.
Medea swiftness to intervene in a situation that brought her misfortune lead to the deaths of her husband, his wife, and their two children.
marvin caldwell
The famous Greek heroes Oedipus Rex and Meda both share qualities that make them heroes, and both have flaws that lead them to a tragic end. Oedipus Rex and Meda both share the same qualities such as intelligence. Oedipus answers the sphinx's question without hesitation, and Meda's manipulation of women into siding by her was powerful. The flaws of Oedipus and Meda differ, Oedipus' flaw was his arrogance and Meda's was her passion. In the Play Oedipus, when Jocasta found out that she married her son and birthed his children she suggests that Oedipus stops the search for the previous king's murderer. Meda's passion for Jason causes her to commit murder and betray her own family; she does this willingly to later realize that Jason wants to marry the King's daughter of Creon. Both Meda and Oedipus let these flaws lead to their downfall.
Erika Lloyd
Oedipus and Medea are in many ways similar. Medea's downfall was to love Jason with "her heart on fire" (ln. 8). This line is significant because fire is symbolically destructive and warming at the same time. Her flaw therefore, is to love so much that it becomes destructive. Oedipus' flaw is to love a woman so much that he marries Jocasta without the knowledge that she is his mother. But Oedipus also has another tragic flaw, and that flaw is intelligence. Oedipus, in a sense, is too smart for his own good. He solves the riddle of the sphinx and becomes uplifted with pride and arrogance. He fails to see due to his intelligence that Jocasta is his mother. Medea has the same intelligence as Oedipus. Her wittyness and cunning allow Jason to retrieve the Golden Fleece, which leads to her downfall. She becomes swollen in pride, and thinks that Jason would never leave her because she is so intelligent. When Jason marries another woman, it crushes her, because she, like Oedipus, was too smart for her own good. Their flaws are both their strengths and their weaknesses. Their love for their spouses is what makes them great, and ultimately what humbles them. Also their intelligence makes them great, but at the same time cripples their knowledge and common sense, leading to their downfall.
http://grlucas.net/ GRL
I find the argument that someone is too intelligent a problematic one. Didn't we discuss this in class? I would need further convincing than what you provide here. If anything Oedipus doesn't think enough.
Elizabeth Lee
Both Oedipus and Medea have tragic flaws that lead to the tragedy. Oedipus is presented to have more than one tragic flaw. We see that Oedipus is full of pride that gets him introuble, and that he is hasty in making decisions. Oedipus is very impatient and it serves to be a big disadvantage. When introduced to Medea by the nurse we get to see why she is in the state that she is before hearing her talk. In this introduction it shows us from the very begining that she very passionate about Jason, and there "love" for one another. As this tragedy goes on we see that passion is the reason for most of her reasoning in killing. I weep to think of what deed i have to do next after that; for I shall kill my own children (775-776). His betrayal of there "love" has made her feel pain, and she wants him to feel the same way. Medea let her passion for love and wanting to be wanted overcome the situation. These two tragic heroes don't share any weaknesses but are both faced with them.
Randy McNamara
Oedipus' tragic flaw is his need and desire to be "the hero". He wants to be revered as the "savior" of the land he rules. His ego drives him to seek the killer of the previous king, only to find out that the prophecy he has trying to avoid has been fullfilled.
Madea's tragic flaw is her passion for Jason. She is so amored with him that it causes her to not think of the general logic of killing her own children.
Oedipus and Madea both share the the weakness of determination. It almost becomes an obsession to fullfill their plans or desires. Oedipus wanting to find out about his parents. And Madea's desire to make Jason feel the same amount of pain she felt.
brian mcgill
Medea as a woman is Smart NOT stupid. She gets revenge on Jason by killing his kids. Media is skilled in magic and ways to get rid of people, hence the dress she used to kill the Princess and any one else that touches it.
Medea althogh a woman from a diffrent land is in love with Jason, she is still a outsider and is not trusted by some of the people. Medea uses her charms to try to get others to help her along. Agieus wants her to give him kids, but she is just useing him to get back at Jason.
Medea knowes she is alone and decides to just Kill her kids as the get back at jason, she as a woman decides she does not want them dead, but is to late. She feels so much pain over this, but this is waht she wants to befall Jason and his house. .
Medea will lose her way of life and thus becomes a person on the run. She is crafty, smart, and very dangerous, if she were a live today doing this, she would have caused more damage then just getting her kids killed, she would go after ALL who may have caused her pain, useinfg not only her craft, but maybe more like guns or bombs.
Medea as a woman is powerful, smart, and does things out of anger that causes a mess for all who are around her. She hates Jason in the end, causes him pain and as a result, ends up a a person on the run.
Ashlee Collins
Oedipus's main flaws were his arrogance and paranoia. He felt that since he was the one to come in and solve the riddle, that he was above anyone in the city. Especially since he was an outsider who beat out everyone in the kingdom. He feels he knows more than everyone else and really cannot relate to the people and their concerns. That added with the huge dose of the fear that someone could overthrow him, it lead to his downfall. He could easily diffused much of the situation if he had listened to others instead of thinking he knew best.
Medea's flaw was the passion she had for Jason and revenge. She used that passion to help him get where he needed to be and when he was done, he dumped her. When she realized that he did not care about her, her passion turned into revenge for him taking advantage of her and essentially robbing her of her freedom and disconnecting her from her past and anyone else. In a sense, both of the characters are passionate people who make decisions without concern for anyone else, just as long as they get what they think is "justice or right".

Game Recap: Cubs 5 Cadinals 1 (Hangover edition)
In a game of absolutely not consequence, in which we could charitably claim that one starter started (the combined presence of Fukudome and Fontenot...two halves make a whole), the Cubs still won. So either the entire Cubs organization is really awesome, or the Cardinals just suck.
I'm not sure which gives me more joy.
So the heros ended up being Casey McGehee (yes, I had to look up that spelling) and Kosuke, Ronnie Cedeno and Felix Pie. A cavalcade of All-Stars, no doubt (wait, Kosuke was an All-Star! Who knew!). And yet, despite all that, the Cubs still won. God, the Cubs rule.
I think the most amazing thing out of all this is that Dempster ended up with 17 wins on the season (I suppose he might have a shot at 18, dunno). This is one of those great situations where nobody could have predicted this and anyone who claims to have done so is a drity, dirty liar. We've gone all season and Dempster revealed himself to be the ace. It's a crazy world.
The Cubs finish the regular season with 55 home wins, the most since 1935. The Cubs still have an outside shot at 100 wins. The Cubs have three aces and we have a poll up debate which should go first.
This is an amazing team and this is certainly my preferred form of hangover.
Go Cubs.
