ABA and BBA Major Field Test
MFT Testing Dates
What it the MFT?
What if I don't live within 60 miles of a Davenport campus? Schedule a Distance Proctored MFT.
The Major Field test (MFT) is an exam given nationally that measures the understanding of the core business concepts of accounting, economics, informations systems, marketing and management. This exam will allow you to gage your readiness for a career in business as well as your abilities in comparison to others in your field. It will aid Davenport University in its refinement of curriculum and programs.
The exam will take approximately 2 hours to complete and is made up of two individually timed, 1hour sections and a required survey. You are asked to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled testing time to sign in.
Sample questions and further information regarding the test are available at http://ets.org/mft/about
How do I register?
The Major Field Test is a graduation requirement for the Associates (ABA) and Bachelors (BBA) of Business Administration degrees. Your advisor will enroll you in the BUSN288T or BUSN488T Major Field Test class in your final semester before graduation.
What do I need to bring?
- You will need photo identification in the form of a state issued ID or DU student ID.
- You will also need to know your DU student ID # and Davenport University email address.
- No personal items will be permitted during testing. No mobile phones, calculators, food or drinks are permitted at any time during testing.
- You will be provided scratch paper and pencil prior to the beginning of your exam. For testing security reasons you will not be permitted to use your own.
What if I need accommodations?
Please contact the Major Field Test Desk at firstname.lastname@example.com to ensure that your accommodation requirements are noted. When you arrive for the test, you will also need to ensure that the proctor is notified so that they can ensure the proper accommodations are elected before approving the test to launch. This often requires a few extra minutes as accommodations must be handled on an individual basis at time of testing through contact with the test provider, ETS.
What if I miss the test or need to reschedule?
If you have missed your test or need to reschedule, contact your advisor.
What if I live out of state or need to schedule my exam off campus?
Please go to MFT Distance Proctoring for directions on how to schedule to take the MFT somewhere other than a Davenport campus.
What if I have further questions?
See Major Field Testing - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Please see your advisor or contact the Davenport Major Field Test Staff at email@example.com or 616-698-7111 x5485.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Sue Rogers
"Ever wish you could get that restaurant-style rotisserie chicken at home? Well, with minimal preparation and about 5 hours' cooking time (great for the weekends!) you can! I don't bother to baste the bird, though some like to for the first hour. The pan juices always caramelize at the bottom, and the chicken will turn golden brown...fall-off-the-bone good!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

4 teaspoons
2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon
onion powder
1 teaspoon
dried thyme
1 teaspoon
white pepper
1/2 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
garlic powder
onions, quartered
2 (4 pound)
whole chickens
Made this last night for 2nd time with some minor changes, and it was SO good - hubby said it was possibly the best chicken I ever made and as good, if not even better than the store rotisserie chickens (which, in our opinion, are extremely yummy). The only things I did differently were I used a large 7+ lb. roaster instead of the 2 smaller ones. For the spices, I eliminated white pepper (who has that?) and cut the cayenne and paprika in half, and increased the garlic powder to a full teaspoon. Even doing that there is still plenty of kick in the spice mix. Like another reviewer I added a couple Tbsps. of minced garlic to the onions in the cavity. The biggest change? Last time I just seasoned and stuck in oven. This time, I wrapped in double plastic wrap (with the onions/garlic in place in the cavity) & ended up marinating for over 24 hours in the fridge - purely by accident, but it made all the difference!! Slow-roasting at 250 (I did go up to 275 for about 45 min. in middle of cooking to ensure it would be done in time for dinner) cooked the bird perfectly in exactly 4 hours (Use a meat therm. - take out at 170, and let it rest before carving, it will be perfectly cooked but not dried out). Made gravy with the drippings, but the white meat was so moist it didn't even need it. I will never make a roast chicken any other way!! P.S. when the chicken is done, drizzle some pan drippings over it, the chicken will suddenly glisten and look picture perfect for the table.
We followed the recipe exactly and the skin turned out very dry and tough. The meat was still moist but it did not remind me of rotisserie chicken. It was really just okay. Not bad but not amazing. I honestly think the 5 hour cooking time was just too long and that's why it ended up being so dry.

I love this recipe and make it often. My only suggestion is to get a jar and mix up a lot of the seasonings at one time to keep in your cabinet. I changed the servings to 64 and the ingredents came up in cup and tablespoon amounts for easy mixing. Then when I make a chicken I have the "mix" at my fingertips. It takes 3 to 4 tablespoons of mix per chicken. I normally serve this "rubber chicken" style with lots of veggies so I have leftover chicken. The next day I make enchiladas with the leftovers. Then I boil the bones for tortilla soup. This gives 3 meals my family of 5 loves. Even my picky son eats these 3 meals.
I normally make this in the crockpot for easy cooking, but the roasting it in the oven yeilds better results.
My kids simply LOVE this chicken recipe (7 year old & teenagers)! Chicken always comes out so tender & flavorful. They especially love the gravy this makes: I add a can of chicken broth mixed with a tablespoon cornstarch to the pan juices, and let boil till thicken. And here's another tip for those days where I can't find 5 hours to spare to roast a chicken: I take 5 or 6 chicken breasts with bone, I skip the onions & skip the overnight marinating step. Instead, toss seasonings & chicken in a large oven roasting bag, shake till chicken are all evenly coated. Bake in 350 oven for 1-1/2 hours. MOST REQUESTED CHICKEN in my household! I highly recommend this recipe!!
Wow! What a great "fix it and forget it" recipe! So moist, so tender, I cut it with my fork and barely had to chew it! My chicken was 4-1/2 pounds, so I found I only had to roast it about 3-1/2 hours, roasted to 170 degrees. I marinaded it in the spice rub the night before, using half the salt called for and a tad less pepper, and it suited our tastes perfectly. Overooking this, of course, would totally ruin it, so I would treat the directed roasting time only as a guide and use a meat thermometer if possible.
Wish I could give this one more than 5 stars. I followed the recipe as stated, exception of white pepper, did not miss it. I did leave in fridge overnight. And then I cooked for 4 1/2 hours. I also did not have a whole chicken, but had wings as I always do. I greased my roaster pan with little oil then laid layers of onions in my pan I laid my wings over my onions I roasted for three hours then I put my rack in my roaster pan and put my wings on the rack and cooked 1 1/2 hours more, this was the best chicken ever, can not wait to roast a whole bird. but it's good to know that chicken pieces work as well. My wings came out very juicy and moist. this is more than a 5 star chicken. YOU MUST TRY IT!!!!!!!.Update!!!! I cook this again using a whole bird and it was as great as my wings, very juicy and the skin was crispy. I did let it sit overnight and then on my lunch break at 12:30pm yesterday I went home and popped it in the oven. When I got home the house smelled so good and I still had and hour left to prepare my rice and fried cabbage. This time I also made pan gravy from the drippings. A Sunday meal on a Thursday with little effort. Yum Yum.
This is THE BEST chicken ever! We buy lots of chickens when on sale, then coat with the seasoning mixture and freeze. Recently I have been making the sticky chicken in the crockpot and it turns out just as delicious and it's lots easier. The drippings make the most fantastic gravy ever. I try to have this on the menu a few times each month. Terrific!
This is a GREAT chicken recipe. I'm sure most of it has to do with the baking technique, but the spice combination is great too. This chicken was falling off of the bones! I baked a 4 lb chicken for approximately 4.5 hours, and that was probably a bit too long. I followed the recipe, halving it as I was only baking one chicken. I did make some changes as follows:
*Only used 1 tsp salt
*Kept the onion powder and garlic powder amounts the same, didn't halve them.
*I didn't have an onion to put in the cavity, but did have a bunch of green onions. I cut them in 3rds and stuffed them inside the chicken along with some minced garlic.
*I brushed the chicken with melted butter prior to rubbing the spice mixture on (had some spice mixture left over).
* I took four pats of butter (about 2T total) and shook them into the remaining spice mixture, completely covering them. I then put 2 pats under the skin of the chicken on top of the breast on each side.
* I cut up potatoes and carrots and placed them in the bottom of the pan, placing the chicken on top when baking it.
This turned out great. The skin was crisp, the meat was juicy and tender. The juices made an EXCELLENT gravy. Definitely a keeper!

Prometheus acts as a shepherding satellite, constraining the extent of the inner edge of Saturn's F Ring. Prometheus is extremely irregular and has visible craters -- some up to 20 km (12.4 miles) in diameter. However, it is much less cratered than its nearby neighbors Pandora, Janus and Epimetheus. The density of Prometheus has been estimated to be low; it is probably a porous, icy body.
The potato-shaped moon is about 86 km (53 miles) across.
The Voyager 1 science team discovered Prometheus in October 1980.
How Prometheus Got its Name:
Moons of Saturn were originally named for Greco-Roman Titans and descendants of the Titans. But as many new moons were discovered scientists began selecting names from more mythologies, including Gallic, Inuit and Norse stories.
Prometheus [pro-MEE-thee-us] was the son of the Titan Iapetus and brother of Atlas and Epimetheus. He is best known in Greek mythology for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to humanity.
Prometheus was originally designated S/1980 S27.

Ana's winning run in Linz moved to 12 matches as she reached the quarter-finals with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Germany's Andrea Petkovic.
The second seed sought to get in command from the very beginning of the match. However, after squandering a break opportunity in the second game of the match, she was painfully broken herself one game later as she served two double faults.
To her credit, she immediately broke back, and this set the tone for topsy-turvy encounter. Both players earned six break points during the set, but it was Ana who proved to be the more effective player. The pair traded breaks once more in the eighth and ninth games, before the 24-year-old eventually broke a third time to claim the first set.
Also in the second set, the 2008 and 2010 Linz champion kept piling pressure on the Petkovic second delivery and forced the German into making a handful of double faults, after Ana had ruthlessly punished some weaker serves earlier.
Ana raced into a 3-1 lead, also thanks to a flurry of crushing groundstrokes, but similarly to the first set, she could not maintain her advantage.
Petkovic tied at 3-3, but as Ana started cutting out the unforced errors, there was to be no stopping her. She reeled off three games to wrap up victory in 81 minutes.
Ana marked her win with a big hug at the net for her friend and former doubles partner, who is on her way back from several injury issues that kept her away from the tennis courts for most of the year.
Ana will taken on Belgian qualifier Kirsten Flipkens in Friday's quarter-finals. The match is scheduled as the third of the day on Centre Court, with play beginning at 2pm local time (8am Eastern Time). Therefore Ana is expected to take to the court sometime after 5.30pm local time (11.30am Eastern Time).

We evaluate the sustainability of every item we purchase to ensure that our decisions are in the best interest of our environment, of the social and economic systems on which our food depends, and of the health of those to whom we serve food.
We also take our waste and your waste very seriously. All of our kitchens compost scraps from food preparation and recycle plastics, cans, foil, and paper and we've become the only foodservice provider on campus to convert all of our serviceware, from straws to sushi trays, to compostable options.

The food we choose to eat can have a significant impact on the environment. In fact most estimates suggest that the food we consume accounts for over one quarter of our total environmental footprint, when you consider the impact of production, transportation, preparation, and disposal. Studies have even shown that the type of diet you choose to eat can have a greater environmental impact than the type of car you choose to drive. Compared to the many ways in which our decisions can have an impact, food is unique among them in that we have an opportunity three times every day to make a difference.

Page 5: Making The Chocolate ~ Winnowing, Grinding & Pressing The Beans
This is Page 5 of a 10-page article on chocolate production. Click on the black links below to visit other pages.
Making The Chocolate
7. Winnowing (Shelling)
Winnowing means shelling, and prior to the Industrial Revolution, this was a manual process (in many third world counties, grain is still winnowed by hand). After the beans have been roasted and cooled, their shells are thin and brittle. They move to a machine called the winnower, which cracks open the shells. Air blows away the cracked outer shell and the husk, and sorts the remaining nibs by size. The nib is the heart of the bean (also called the kernel or the meat), from which the chocolate is made. Nibs (photo above) contain about 400 different chemical compounds responsible for the flavor of the final chocolate product. Modern factories no longer use old-fashioned equipment like the antique at the right, which still gets the job done for the Grenada Chocolate Company.
The roasted nibs are now ready to be ground into a paste that will eventually become chocolate.
8. Grinding / Mélangeur
There are usually two stages of grinding in the manufacture of fine chocolate. In the first stage, the nibs (photo above) are ground into a thick paste similar to fresh-ground peanut butter, called the chocolate chocolate liquor (photo at right). The latter is a confusing name to anyone outside the industry, as it is neither liquid nor contains any alcohol. To add to the confusion, chocolate liquor is also called cocoa or cacao liquor, chocolate mass, cocoa mass, cocoa solid, or pâté de cacao (cocoa paste or chocolate paste). In the United States Food Standards of Identity, it is known simply as chocolate. Once further refined, it also is called unsweetened baking chocolate. Chocolate liquor is the main ingredient in chocolate. Photo courtesy of Stollwerck.
Since cacao beans are more than half fat, the chocolate liquor is made up of rich cocoa butter (53% to 60% depending on the varietal) with fine cocoa particles suspended in it. The heat and friction generated by the grinding metal plates causes the cocoa butter in the nib to melt into a fluid mass (photo at right), hence the name "chocolate liquor." The chocolate liquor is not yet officially chocolate, but it smells like it! Photo courtesy of Amano Artisan Chocolate.
For eating chocolate, the appropriate amount of sugar is added (except for 100% cacao bars). The size of the particles in the chocolate mass is now about 100 microns. To avoid a grainy taste in the finished chocolate, another grinding takes place to reduce the particle size to about 18 microns (the tongue can sense grains of 18 microns or larger).
Chocolate liquor destined to be made into chocolate candy and confections then goes to be blended (Step 10). That which will be made into cocoa powder goes to Pressing.
9. Pressing (For Cocoa Powder)
If cocoa powder is being made, the chocolate liquor is further processed into "press cake" or pressed cake, and cocoa butter. The chocolate liquor or mass is put into hydraulic presses and extremely high pressure, 6000 pounds per square inch, is applied to drain off the clear, golden liquid cocoa butter. The press cake that is left is cooled, pulverized and sifted into cocoa powder. Photo of cocoa powder courtesy of CocoaTree.org.
Note that some companies sell "drinking chocolate," which is sweetened cocoa or sweetened chocolate discs or squares, ready to be mixed with hot milk or water to become a beverage.

The Details
Avery Ottoman
Dimensions: 30" w x 16" h x 23" d
Item#: 207519
Composition and Construction
Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled.

Torch Lake became an Area of Concern (AOC) due to fish tumors of unknown origin which resulted in fish consumption advisories. The 1987 RAP document identified three Beneficial Use Impairments (BUIs) for the Torch Lake AOC. Fish Tumors; Degraded Benthos; Fish Consumption Advisories.
The Torch Lake Area of Concern is located on the Keweenaw Peninsula within Houghton County on the northwestern shore of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and on Lake Superior's southern shore. The region is locally known as the Copper Country. Deposits of native (elemental) copper are found in the Portage Lakes Lava Series, a long narrow bedrock formation which extends from the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula southwest to the Michigan-Wisconsin border covering a distance of over one hundred miles.
Copper-bearing ore on the Keweenaw Peninsula contains copper in its native or natural metallic form. For this reason, it has been a source of copper for people for thousands of years. More recently, it is the waste products from the industrial milling, smelting, and leaching operations of the mined copper bearing ore that have created the present environmental concern. These industrial processes began during the 1840s and continued for more than a century until all mining and related operations ceased in 1968. Those processes left stamp sands and slags deposited either on the surface of the surrounding landscape or in adjacent lakes and streams. Portions of the surficial materials eroded into nearby waterbodies.
It is estimated that more than 10.5 billion pounds of copper were produced in the Copper Country between the mid-1840s and 1968. Half of this output was processed at sites scattered across the Copper Country landscape. The remainder was processed along the western shoreline of Torch Lake, a 2,700 acre body of water in Houghton County. About 200 million tons of copper ore tailings were deposited in Torch Lake, displacing about 20 percent of the lake's original volume (MDNR 1987).
The Torch Lake Area of Concern Boundary was described in the 1987 Torch Lake Remedial Action Plan (RAP) document "…..Torch Lake and its immediate environs." Immediate environs can be described as those areas along the shore of Torch Lake proper where wastes from the production of copper contributed directly to the contaminate loadings of Torch Lake. These areas had stamp sands and water quenched slags dumped on the shore and into the lake during the copper production process. The AOC boundary was formally agreed to by the Torch Lake Public Advisory Council (TLPAC), U.S. EPA and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in 2005.
Beneficial Use Impairments
- Restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption
- Degradation of benthos
The 1987 RAP document identified three Beneficial Use Impairments (BUIs) for the Torch Lake AOC:
- Fish Tumors
- Degraded Benthos
- Fish Consumption Advisories
Delisting Targets
The Torch Lake AOC Public Advisory Council has requested that the State of Michigan begin the AOC delisting process for their AOC. A technical committee was developed comprised of staff from state and federal agencies and the PAC. The technical committee determined to use delisting criteria based on the recently released Guidance for Delisting Michigan's Great Lakes Areas of Concern (PDF 508Kb 61 pages) document, released January 2006.
RAP Development and Status
- December 2005: First draft of the Delisting Determination Document for the Torch Lake Area of Concern completed. (unavailable)
- 2002: Draft Remedial Action Plan Update completed. (unavailable)
- 1987: Michigan Department of Natural Resources Remedial Action Plan for the Torch Lake Area of Concern (PDF 3.35Mb 80 pages) completed.
RAP Implementation
Remedial Actions
The Torch Lake Area of Concern included four of 14 Superfund Areas that were divided into operable units (OU). Two of three OUs, i.e. OU 1 and OU2, as designated under the two Superfund Record of Decisions, were applicable to the Torch Lake Area of Concern. These were:
- OU 1 - includes the stamp sands, water quenched slags and other mining wastes deposited along the Torch Lake shoreline.
- OU 2 - includes ground water, surface water and submerged stamp sands and sediments in Torch Lake, Portage Lake, the Keweenaw Waterway/Portage Ship Canal, the Lake Superior Shoreline from south of the North Entry to Freda/Red Ridge, Boston Pond and Calumet Lake
The selected remedy for OU 1 was to cover with soil and seed down to prevent erosional actions by wind and water. Remedial actions for the Torch Lake Superfund Site were completed by September 2005. Some parcels have already been deleted from the National Priorities List (NPL). Once all parcels are deleted, planned for 2008, the state will assume Operation and Maintenance of the areas which includes long term monitoring of all OUs. Under the ROD for OU 2, natural attenuation was the selected remedy for the lakes. OU 2 has been deleted from the NPL.

Community Involvement
Public election of the members of the Torch Lake Public Advisory Council (TLPAC) took place in the spring of 1997. In less than one year the group adopted its by-laws, mission statement, goals and objectives, and incorporated as a tax-exempt, nonprofit Michigan corporation. It has received contributions from local governments, businesses, environmental groups, and private individuals to help defray logistical expenses. In addition, TLAPAC has been awarded over $24,000 from agency grants and private foundations.
Currently, there are seven schools within the AOC that have instituted Adopt-A-Stream projects. The Keweenaw Waterway Trail Association, in cooperation with local and state agencies, has developed a series of low-impact boating campsites along the waterway.

According to PR Newser Ken Auletta reports in his book, Googled that Larry Page told his PR department that he would give them "a total of eight hours of his time that year for press conferences, speeches, or interviews."
Supposedly the Google founders aren't fond of PR. Although Google apparently has 130 people working in the PR department so maybe they don't find PR so distasteful after all . . .
The interesting thing, to me anyway, is that if I were Larry Page – and I'm a long way from being Larry Page – I'd probably do the same thing. In fact it strikes me as a pretty sensible approach for Google right now.
Let me explain.
A lot of times public relations professionals focus on two things – the message and the pitch – at the expense of all else. But there's a third quality – connected to messaging and pitching – that we don't spend enough time thinking about and that is at the heart of strategic public relations: the narrative.
The narrative, as the name implies, is the story of the company or organization over a set period of time. It has protagonists, antagonists, plots, plot devices, climaxes and denouements. There's never just one of course and large brands such as Google always have several narratives they want to be associated with, several they wish people would forget, and several they hope never get told.
There was a time when the 'silicon valley whiz kids behind that oddly-named new search engine' made sense as Google's dominant narrative. That narrative got old a long time ago. The story Google is telling now, the narrative they deserve to be known for, needs to be spun around the various ways they are unlocking access to various types of data and the incredible array of talent – beyond Brin and Page – who are making that happen.
The Page/Brin celebrity gets in the way of that narrative and obscures it. It may be harder to secure a journalist's attention without them – I wouldn't know – but if staying consistent with the right narrative takes more work then isn't that what you have to do?

White Gold Explained
I think it is important that the properties of white gold, its limitations and care needs are fully understood prior to purchasing an item of jewellery. That way you will know what to expect and understand the best ways to care for your jewellery.
The most important thing to note is that gold is a naturally yellow metal; white gold does not occur naturally but is produced. It undergoes a number of procedures to ensure we see the bright white finish that we are used to and that appeals to us so much.
To achieve this colour, gold is mixed with various white metals to produce an alloy; commonly silver and palladium are used. The result of this alloy is a pale greyish yellow colour. I like to think of it like mixing paint, it doesn't matter how much white paint you add to yellow you can never create a true white. To achieve the brilliant and bright white finish that has made white gold so popular, the piece is rhodium plated. Rhodium is a hard wearing bright white metal however as with any form of plating, the rhodium will wear off over a period of time to reveal the pale greyish yellow metal beneath. The amount at which the plating wears off depends on what the item comes into contact with. For example if it is exposed to chemicals such as perfume, hand cream or cleaning products, it could wear off more quickly. It will therefore be necessary to have white gold rings re plated from time to time; the time frame depends on the wearer. We always recommend that jewellery items are removed when doing any sort of manual labour, lifting, carrying or cleaning. This will prevent the items being knocked out of shape accidentally or getting scratched or damaged.

text: News from the Heights If you need more information, call Le Moyne's Office of Communications at 315-445-4555 or contact via email Joe Della Posta or Molly McCarthy. Read past issues of the magazine Le Moyne College Hosts McDevitt Lecture on Spirituality and Academic TheologySYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … Le Moyne College will host a talk by J. Matthew Ashley on Thursday, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. in Grewen Auditorium. The talk is titled "Jesuit Spirituality and Academic Theology" and is part of the McDevitt lecture series on "Science and Religion in Modern America." While St. Ignatius did not found the Jesuits with the explicit idea of establishing and operating colleges and universities, this is probably the accomplishment for which they are best known today. But what are the connections between Ignatian spirituality and the multi-faceted work of a modern college or university? This lecture draws on Karl Rahner and Ignacio Ellacuria — two 20th century Jesuits who worked in very different settings — to illuminate this important issue. J. Matthew Ashley is associate professor of systematic theology and chair of the department of theology at the University of Notre Dame. He holds a bachelor's degree in theology and physics from St. Louis University, a master's degree in systematic theology from Weston School of Theology and a doctorate in theology from the University of Chicago. Ashley's talk is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the McDevitt Chair in Religious Philosophy and the McDevitt Center for Creativity and Innovation. For more information, call (315) 445-6200. "Science and Religion in Modern America" is an initiative led by the McDevitt Chair in Religious Philosophy and the McDevitt Center for Creativity and Innovation at Le Moyne. Its principal aim is to engage members of the campus community, as well as the broader Central New York community, in a candid, respectful conversation about the complex and seemingly disparate subjects of science and religion. The central pillars of this two-year endeavor are nine public lectures by eminent scholars, which will be held over the course of three academic semesters, and a concluding conference, which will be held in the spring of 2014. All of these events will be digitally recorded and made available on the McDevitt Center website, located at www.lemoyne.edu/mcdevitt #####posted on: 1/8/2013

Sweetwater did its part on Tuesday to remain in the thick of the District 4-3A softball chase, defeating Monahans 6-2 at the Jerry Collins Complex.
And with an assist from Big Spring, the Lady Mus-tangs are now in a three-way tie for the district lead.
Big Spring threw the 4-3A race into chaos by beating Greenwood 3-1, while Sny-der was a 15-0 winner over last-place Wylie. Sweetwa-ter, Greenwood and Snyder are now all 3-1, just ahead of 2-2 Big Spring with six games left to play.
Sweetwater (17-10 overall) won't have very long to celebrate Tuesday's victory, as the Lady Mustangs will play at Wylie (0-4) at 4:30 p.m. Thursday to end the first half of district.
Monahans (1-3) was limi-ted to four hits by Sweet-water pitcher Maty Mont-gomery, who struck out five and had a shutout until the sixth inning.
Sweetwater, meanwhile, steadily mounted a comfor-table lead by scoring single runs in the first and third innings and adding a pair of tallies in both the fourth and fifth as the Lady Mus-tangs opened a 6-0 advan-tage over the Lady Loboes.
Almost everyone contributed, as Sweetwater's eight hits came from seven different players.
Megan Holsey led the attack with a pair of doubles and two RBI. Montgomery had a first-inning RBI single and Suede Shirley drove in the second run when her RBI grounder scored Kelsi Crosson, who reached on an infield error. Holsey's second double, which came with two outs in the fourth inning, scored Alyssa Heredia and Kendra Cros-son to make it 4-0.
Sweetwater got its final runs in the fifth after Kelsi Crosson doubled and Shir-ley singled to lead off the inning. Crosson scored at the end of a double steal, and Shirley came home on a passed ball.

1 pound
ground beef
1 medium
onion, chopped
1 (10.75 ounce) can
Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup (Regular or 25% Less Sodium)
1/4 cup
1 tablespoon
Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups
cooked corkscrew-shaped pasta or elbow pasta
With a few modifications- this is a good recipe. First I used lean ground beef, so less fat. I added chopped onions, green peppers, basil, oregano, and garlic to the beef as it was browning. Because there was not much fat- I DID NOT DRAIN. Thus keeping flavor. I increased the cheddar cheese to a whole cup, and everything came out pretty tasty!
This dish was an okay version of hamburger helper. Its needs a bit more flavor. I added oregano & garlic, but that didn't do the trick. Next time I will add some veggies.

I wanted to make a quick "cheeseburger" macaroni dish but didn't have the ingredients for my own personal recipe. This did in a pinch. I tossed some homemade hamburger seasoning mix over the ground beef while it was browning, I added in a little dijon mustard, and one drained can of petite diced tomatoes. This was inhaled by my boys. GREAT pantry meal for a Mom who's running low on ingredients.
I needed a "hamburger helper" type meal - fast and flavorful on the stovetop. This fit the bill... even with my on-the-fly modifications due to ingredients. I used turkey instead of beef, cooked it very brown, and then instead of tomato soup I used a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. I used a splash of Tabasco in place of Worcestershire sauce. This turned out excellent! Very flavorful and zesty. Will definitely do it again! I usually don't change recipes the first time, but this one is flexible enough to do so. Thanks!
I replaced the Worcestershire sauce with balsamic vinaigrette and white American cheese instead of cheddar. I also added peppers, onions, garlic, and a variety of spices including oregano, parsley, etc. It was delicious.
I made this for dinner tonight and it was excellent. I did make a few modifications, I didn't add onions because of a picky eater and instead used onion powder. I also added garlic powder, used a whole pound of pasta and two cans of soup, and added a generous amount of grated parmesan cheese. My family doesn't like pasta sauces with any sort of "chunks" so this is a great alternative for us. Would definitely make again.
I try not to mess with a recipe too much the first time around, but this one seemed like it would be bland. So I added garlic and a variety of seasonings. I was also out of cheddar cheese, so I ended up using velveeta instead. After it was finished I tasted it. Completely bland. I broke down and added some spaghetti sauce. The recipe is easy and isn't bad, just very bland. You might as well save yourself the time and just use spaghetti sauce and mozzerella cheese from the beginning.
My family loved this quick and easy meal. Since we always have the ingredients on hand, we can make it on very short notice. I recommend a little more pasta in it.

Sebastian Vettel and his Red Bull Racing team used the perfect strategy in the gambler's paradise of Monaco: they risked everything on stopping just once and it paid off handsomely with the World Champion's fifth victory of the 2011 season.
On a weekend when the beautiful harbourside circuit bared its teeth, Vettel started from his fifth pole of the year, the 20th of his career, pitted with less than a quarter of the 78-lap race distance gone, and profited from a late-race Safety Car period to extend his World Championship lead to a massive 54 points.
As the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button's McLaren completed the podium places, Australia's Mark Webber yet again produced the move of the race to overtake Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi on the final lap and claim fourth in the second Red Bull.
Webber also claimed the fastest race lap, a 1:16.234 on his final tour of the 3.34-km street circuit, his fourth of this season and the 10th of his F1 career.
"A crazy race", said Vettel, who added: "I think the roulette was spun last night and kept on spinning during this race."
The Safety Car was deployed for the second time in the race with 69 laps gone after a multi-car accident triggered by Jaime Alguersuari in the Toro Rosso. Attempting to pass Nick Heidfeld's Lotus Renault, the Spaniard was caught out when Lewis Hamilton's McLaren braked in front of him.
While Hamilton carried on with his car's rear wing askew, the main victim was Heidfeld's team-mate Vitaly Petrov. Left with nowhere to go between Monaco's intimidating barriers, the Russian hit the wall on the left and had to wait for medical crew to extract him as he complained of leg pains – though hospital scans revealed no broken bones.
The race was red-flagged with six laps left to run and some drivers, Webber included, admitted to being surprised that it was re-started – but the Australian was one of the few men to benefit when it did resume.
Webber produced a trademark passing move up the inside of Kobayashi at the chicane out of the famous tunnel to claim what had seemed an unlikely fourth place after a botched pit stop dropped him to 15th with only 16 laps gone.
"At Monaco you don't get away scot-free with a pit stop like that," said the man who dominated the Monte Carlo streets last year. "There was a communication problem in the pits, with the result that the guys weren't ready for me. I knew I was in for a difficult afternoon after that, but I kept my head."
The chicane where Webber pulled off the race's outstanding manoeuvre was the same one that had claimed the cars of Nico Rosberg and Sergio Perez earlier in a weekend that sparked fresh debate over Monaco's fitness to host the high-speed spectacle of modern Formula One.
Rosberg's Mercedes hit the barrier on the right out of the tunnel in the final free practice session and was briefly airborne over the kerbs but avoided the barrier that faces the cars head-on; in Q3 Perez replicated that accident but hit the barrier hard with the right-hand side of his Sauber and it took medical personnel a considerable time to extract the young Mexican, F1's find of the season so far.
Happily Perez suffered only concussion and bruising to his legs but was unable to race on Sunday, leaving 23 cars to start after the HRT duo of Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan did enough in practice to get round their failure to come within 107% of Vettel's pole-winning time.
Among the non-finishers was Michael Schumacher, for whom a fire in his car's airbox completed a miserable weekend for Mercedes.
In the race's other main talking-point Lewis Hamilton was penalised for causing an avoidable accident when he tangled with Felipe Massa at the hairpin, an incident that led almost immediately to the Ferrari driver's retirement and triggered the first Safety Car intervention.
Massa called for more penalties against the former World Champion for over-aggressive driving, while Hamilton claimed other drivers – Massa and Pastor Maldonado, whose Williams he also hit with three laps to go – were "stupid".
The World Championship now has a two-week break before round seven, the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Jacques Villeneuve, the almost equally spectacular island venue in the mighty St Lawrence Seaway in Montreal.

Darry Thornton is in his first season as the head men's lacrosse coach at Lees-McRae College.
Thornton brings over seven years of collegiate coaching experience with him to Lees-McRae, serving as the head coach at Mohawk Valley Community College and Mount Saint Mary College, as well as the assistant coach at former Conference Carolinas member Queens University of Charlotte.
A graduate of Oneonta State College, Thornton most recently served as the head coach at Mohawk Valley for the past two seasons, mentoring five all-conference players and playing an integral role in the defensive unit lowering its goals against average by 4.5. Under Thornton's direction, Mohawk Valley's offense steadily improved over the course of his two-year tenure, posting its highest-single game scoring effort in three years.
Prior to Mohawk Valley, Thornton established both the men's and women's lacrosse programs at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, N.Y., recruiting over 50 student-athletes in just six months in preparation for each team's inaugural season.
Thornton served as the assistant coach at nearby Queens during the 2009 season, taking over as the defensive coordinator with four games remaining, and mentoring the defensive unit to a goals against average of 9.0 in that span. The Schenectady, N.Y. native also served as the man-down coordinator, leading the unit to a penalty kill rate of 77 percent while coaching five all-conference players that season.
Before joining the Queens staff, Thornton spent one season as the assistant coach at Hartwick College in Oneonta, N.Y. and one year as the assistant at Oneonta State, playing a key role in each defensive unit holding opponents to less than 9.3 goals per game. Thornton mentored four all-conference players at Hartwick and five at Oneonta, serving as the man-down coordinator at Hartwick and mentoring that unit to a penalty kill rate of 81 percent.
Thornton has mentored 19 all-conference selections at three separate schools, while also coaching 10 regional all-star game selections and one all-region selection at Mohawk Valley.
A two-time all-star game head coach while at Mohawk Valley, Thornton graduated from Oneonta State in 2003 with a bachelor's degree in mass communication. During his two-year career at Oneonta State, Thornton helped lead the team to a 22-10 record, a No. 11 national ranking, and a berth in the ECAC championship game.
What they're saying about Coach Thornton
Mike Morgan, head men's lacrosse coach at Merrimack College: "Darry is a great guy with a lot of energy, a tireless worker, and a great recruiter. He has an eye for the right type of player, knows everybody and can evaluate talent with the best in the country."
Dan Mulholland, head men's lacrosse coach at Mount Saint Vincent: "Darry has a great rapport with student-athletes, and is very organized with his practices and recruiting. With his knowledge of X's and O's as a former goalie, he has been able to lead the defense while handling the other team's offense. He also has a great personality. "

.Women will soon be able to serve in combat, as things officially changed with the stroke of a pen today at the Pentagon.
At a joint news conference, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Charman Gen. Martin Dempsey signed a memorandum rolling back a 1994 directive prohibiting women from doing so.
"They serve, they're wounded, and they die right next to each other," Panetta said of women and men in the military. "The time has come to recognize that reality.
"If they're willing to put their lives on the line, then we need to recognize that they deserve a chance," Panetta said, noting that he wants his own granddaughters and grandsons to have the same opportunities in their lives and careers.
The change won't be immediate, however. While Panetta announced that thousands of new positions will now be open to women, he has asked the military branches to submit plans by May on how to integrate women into combat operations. He set a January 2016 deadline for branches to implement the changes, giving military services time to seek waivers for certain jobs

Pros: Friendly staff, reasonable price, TiFF Bermuda greens are always in good shape
Cons: Lax dress code (no cut offs or tank tops), can only walk in the afternoons during peak season
Interesting layout that offers challenge without a lot of punishment. Hazards are perfectly placed to encourage risk vs. reward shots. The greens are always in excellent shape, no matter whether it is April or December. A good mixture of open shots and tight shots to challenge your entire game.
I always enjoy a round of golf where I have to pull every club in my bag, and this one does that for me.

Ana is featured in the new issue of Hello! magazine in Serbia.
The following is a translated transcript of the interview:
What are your impressions of this year's Australian Open? What do you focus the most during the tournament?
Overall it was a great tournament for me. I knew I had prepared well for the new season but I tried not to have too many expectations. I was able to relax and enjoy me tennis, starting in Auckland. It was obviously a great feeling, to win my first title in over two years, and I took that form with me into the Australian Open. Beating Serena is one of the highlights of my career and I'm sure it is no surprise to hear that that is what I will take most from the event. It has given me a lot of confidence and I feel very positive about the rest of the season.
You have changed your associates, now working in a wholly Serbian team. What has this change brought to you? Is it easier to work with people from your homeland?
It's created a very fun, positive environment. Having fells Serbs in my team helps, because they understand me so much better than foreigners. We use less words, because we understand each other's thoughts and feelings due to our shared identity. Aside from that, we are all quite young and we fun together, joking around. But, most importantly, we are all very serious about achieving top results, and we motivate each other to do better.
How much do you hang out with the other players off the court? Did you go to cocktail parties and gatherings that the tournament organizers arrange or you're strictly focused on the game?
I am friends with quite a few players. Sorana Cirstea is my best friend. We go out to dinner together a lot, and we have even been on vacation together. I've become good friends with Flipper (Kirsten Flipkens) and we played doubles together in Auckland. We don't really go out to bars or anything like that, but we like to go out to restaurants together, and of course we chat a lot in the locker room.
Was there a party that remained in your memory?
There are many! I have been fortunate to experience many great social gatherings. Traditionally the best players parties are held in IW. Wimbledon and NewYork. But recently the party Mr Branson organised at Necker last November is probably the best ever.
Were your parents and your brother Miloš with you in Melbourne? How important to you is their support?
My parents were there, and my aunt and uncle live there. We're all very close. I am even good friends with some of the Australian friends of my aunt and uncle. The highlight of the trip is always spending time with my family in Melbourne. Unfortunately my brother couldn't be there, because he is soon finishing his studies in London, so he had to spend time at university.
You work much on your shape, as it's evident from the perfect line. What do you eat to be explosive on the court and at the same time very slim? It is known that carbohydrates provide energy, how many you ingest?
Because we spend so many calories on the court and in the gym, we can eat a lot without really gaining weight. Actually it is important to make sure you are taking on enough energy, to support your training. I have a good, balanced diet. I avoid friend foods and don't eat much red meat, but I allow myself some treats like frozen yogurt or pancakes now and then. I eat a lot of pasta, fish and vegetables.
What are your professional, and what are the private goals for this year?
My goal is to get back to the top 10, and to qualify for the WTA Championships in Singapore. Fortunately I've started the season well, I'm in the top eight already and now I have to work

A sigh of relief was heard when the Northside Library was given the approval to proceed with construction following a unanimous City Council vote on Tuesday March 25, 2014. The vote will surely satisfy many residents as they eagerly await the completion of the large city project which was promised to residents over 50 years ago.
The new 17,000 square foot state-of-the-art library, originally scheduled to open in December 2013, will now open by the end of summer 2014. The library was nearly complete when the state's dissolution of redevelopment agencies (RDA) caused construction to come to a halt. As residents grew upset and frustrated by the hold up, the Library Foundation & Friends Board of Directors worked to build a support structure determined to see the library doors open.
City Council and City Staff have worked diligently with the state to sort out all detrimental issues which stemmed from the dissolution of the RDA. The City of Santa Clara is pleased to announce construction will now recommence.
Please join the Library Foundation and Friends in celebration at the Northside Library this Sunday, April 6th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for library tours, magician Phil Ackerly and local food trucks. There will be opportunities for family participation in creating time capsule mementoes.
