Congratulations on Your Upcoming Graduation from UW Oshkosh!
To celebrate the significant academic achievements of our graduates, each spring and fall UW Oshkosh hosts commencement. These ceremonies, steeped in tradition dating back hundreds of years, are formal events complete with pomp and circumstance.
At UW Oshkosh, we celebrate commencement in May (9 a.m. and 2 p.m.) and December (9:30 a.m.). While the ceremonies are not mandatory, candidates for graduation are encouraged to attend commencement. Graduates may invite as many friends and family members as they like: there is no guest per graduate limit and tickets are not required (unless guests require special seating accommodations outside the bleacher area).
Students do not need to fill out a special form to participate in the ceremony. Students who apply for graduation with the registrar's office and follow the commencement checklist will have done all that they need to do to participate in the ceremony.
This website contains all of the information graduates need to know to prepare for commencement and make it a memorable event. Please browse these pages and share the details with family and friends. Also, plan to visit the commencement open house, Countdown to Commencement, in Reeve Memorial Union to take care of all of your remaining commencement needs in one place at one time.

Have two different usb drives and have tried multiple copies of Backtrack 5 yet keep having this problem.
Using UNetBootin (Universal USB Installer) Backtrack installs onto my USB just fine. I boot it up. Go online, mess around with settings. Then shut it down.
Now on the next boot up I get a error.
Error.Deleted inode refference 642614.
This cycles endlessly.
It must be a hardware problem or something.
16gb Transcend USB 3.0 bough specifically for this purpose. Fat32. Tried persistent memory at 4 gb then scaled it back to 2.5. Both Gnome and KDA. x64. (Can't remember if I tried the x84.)
I've reinstalled at least 4-5 times and it keeps happening....? ? ?
Using an Alienware MX17 with USB Renesa drivers.
Appears to only be a problem when using persistent memory. Have absolutely no issues when loading the forensics for example. Here's whats really strange. I also experimented with USB Windows 7 and
a Ubuntu 10... and again, doesn't work.
Wish I understood why.

Nice to see Hoover with a clean inning.
It would be even nicer if the Reds could take advantage of the pen's efforts to keep it relatively close, but I'll take any silver lining I can from a game like this
They are beating Rolen up. He swings one armed all the time. How much longer is he on our payroll? I know we restructured to pay the piper into retirement.
Ludwick needs to keep his bat still right before he swings, he no longer has the bat speed to stop twitching it and then take a cut.
I'm wondering how long before they cook up some sort of "injury" for Rolen and DL him.
George Grande deserves some blame here. Not exactly sure why or how, but he does.
This is funny. I turned the game on and saw we had the bases loaded (with 1 out) and were down big. I then realized George Grande was doing the game and
1. understood why we were down big.
2. realized there was no way they would get a run in with the bases juiced and less than 2 outs.
Why do the Reds continue to ask George FREAKING Grande to come back and spew his cliches for 3 hours? His act is very tired! Maybe it is to drive viewers to the park? It worked, I'm taking my 6 year old tomorrow because of it.
Reds sure no how to squander runs even when their down by 5 runs

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - The St. Louis Rams fired defensive coordinator Tim Walton on Wednesday after just one season and will reportedly bring back Gregg Williams.
"I would like to thank Tim for his hard work and contributions to our defense," said Rams coach Jeff Fisher. "I wish him well in the future."
Walton was tabbed to replace Williams, who was hired as defensive coordinator but never coached a down for the Rams after being suspended for the entire 2012 season for his role in the New Orleans Saints bounty program.
The Rams opted to go with a committee approach that season rather than replacing Williams, then brought Walton on board last February.
Multiple media outlets reported that the Rams have re-hired Williams for the job.
Despite defensive end Robert Quinn's 19 sacks, Walton's defense gave up 364 points last season, 13th in the NFL. It ranked 19th against the pass and ninth against the run.

Les Miles roamed the indoor practice facility Wednesday during LSU football media day as reporters fired questions at his players.
Then Miles stopped in his tracks.
"Hey linebackers, what's the matter?" Miles asked. "No one wants to talk to you guys today? Don't worry, just remember, y'all want the postgame interviews."
Freshman linebacker Clifton Garrett didn't know that feeling.
Being one of only three freshmen in a corps that contains eight upperclassmen, Garrett remains one of the few LSU linebackers who has yet to experience the electricity of Tiger Stadium. He hasn't been in the press room after a close contest.
Not yet, at least.
For Garrett, the attempt to break through as a starting linebacker for the Tigers has come with its share of hurdles.
Before even adjusting to the speed of Southeastern Conference competition or the LSU defensive scheme, Garrett first had to fight a less conventional adversary.
Being a Plainfield, Illinois, native, Garrett's first real test was surviving the Louisiana humidity.
"You've just got to come out here and just push through it and get used to it," Garrett said. "Coming out every day and training helps. It's a mindset thing. You've got to be mentally tough about everything. It's just pretty moist down here."
Once the rookie got his legs under him early in camp, he quickly began turning heads as he worked side by side with his veteran teammates. At 6-foot-2, 242 pounds, Garrett is the biggest linebacker on the squad.
It didn't take long for his fellow linebackers to make note of his potential.
"The biggest thing is his hard head," junior linebacker Deion Jones said. "He strikes those offensive linemen real hard and his hand placement is really good. He still has a lot of little things like footwork and grasping the scheme to work on, but other than that, he's been doing really good."
That being said, there's still plenty for Garrett to improve on before his name skyrockets to the top of the depth chart.
It's the same challenge every freshman on LSU's defense faces — learning and thriving in defensive coordinator John Chavis' scheme.
Lucky for Garrett, he has more than enough tutors to speed up the learning process.
"I've got a bunch of good guys around me," Garrett said. "All of the guys know the system, so when I have a question about something and Chief is busy, I can look to my left and my right and there's guys who know what to do in certain situations. I can always count on those guys to answer the questions I have."
Senior linebacker D.J. Welter said there's another area most freshmen, including Garrett, have to work on when they arrive in Baton Rouge: the mental aspect of being a linebacker.
Garrett has had to endure those mental growing pains early and often.
"It's about not getting frustrated when you make a mistake," Welter said. "It's about clearing your mind after that one play and focusing on your technique the next play. It's about climbing that mountain and getting better every day."
Through the first few weeks of fall camp, Garrett said he isn't worried about that mountain.
Though there are roughly six names standing between him and a starting linebacker title, Garrett said the position battle is more of a confidence boost than a concern. It's a fight to improve, not to take another's job, according to Garrett.
Regardless, Garrett said he'd do whatever he could to get on the field, whether it was on defense or special teams.
So as Miles' words rang through Garrett's ears on media day, the freshman could look in either direction and find a player who has run through the tunnel and into the roar of more than 92,000 fans.
Both Jones and Welter said they can't begin to prepare him for the first time he sprints out to more than 100,000 at the newly expanded Tiger Stadium.
For now, Garrett can only dream.
"It's going to be an amazing feeling," Garrett said. "I can't really explain how it's going to be because I already get chills just looking at the stadium. I'm extremely excited, and I can't wait for the opportunity."

And so here we are back in Colin Fassnidge's Neverending Kitchen. Tonight, Angela sinks into the Swamp of Sadness, Matt is chased by a racing snail, and Ashlee finds herself in a life-or-death battle with the evil wolfbeast Gmork. Which is another way of saying; it's time for Comeback Kitchen, chapter 358 in a series of psychological experiments to test the boundaries of human endurance.
We begin on a mysterious street in Sydney, where Ashlee and Sophia show up to a mysterious address, mysteriously wondering why they have been mysteriously summoned there, and certainly not clearly knowing exactly what's happening because it is obvious to anyone with a higher IQ than a finger bun that they are being given a chance to get back in the competition. Kerrie and Craig also show up to pretend to be imbeciles, and Colin "as obnoxious as my hair makes me look" Fassnidge welcomes them to Comeback Kitchen.
And then the remaining Comeback teams emerge, and Ashlee and Sophia are disgusted to see Angela and Melina enter the room; and to be fair, finding out that Angela and Melina are still in the competition is a bit like discovering a rosebush growing in Antarctica.
Colin then explains that as usual, one team will be eliminated on the basis of their first dish, before the restaurant opens, because it's very important that the episode creates the impression of spanning several geological eras. Off they go to the kitchen, Kerrie crying, "Can you believe it? Another chance!" in an almost-passable impression of someone who is surprised. For a few minutes the contestants stand around looking dumb, before Colin informs them their time has already started and everyone gets to work. A quick cutaway to Angela allows her to waggle her hands and emit a series of incomprehensible grunts, just to show how heavily she's been drinking.
The kitchen is all activity. Craig is busily reminiscing about the dish that reminds him of when he and Kerrie used to go out and he still retained some kind of will to live. Kerrie and Craig are cooking meat and vegetables, and also describing how to cook meat and vegetables, a clever tactic as it doubles the screen time consumed.
Mick is cooking venison, his Bambi fantasies coming to the fore under pressure, while Matt is diligently performing his usual function of looking sideways at Mick as if worried that he's suffering from advanced dementia. "We can't afford a mistake tonight mate," says Mick, clearly not having realised that Angela and Melina are in the kitchen and there's almost nothing they could do short of stabbing themselves in the face that would make them perform worse than those two.
Meanwhile Angela and Melina call each other "babe" and are immediately hit with a lawsuit by Ashlee and Sophia, who step up their own babe-frequency to prove that there is only one pair of babe-queens in this kitchen. Already the viewers are so close to breaking point that the ad for Mrs Brown's Boys Live that follows seems almost tempting.
Back in the kitchen, Colin is shouting the rules at them. Everyone replies "Yes chef", but surely this isn't necessary when all the chef is doing is explaining to them the same thing he explained to them five minutes ago? I feel like they're really demeaning the office of chef.
Anyway, Ashlee and Sophia are screaming "babe" across the kitchen at each other, which causes Angela and Melina to mock them, even though they've actually been doing the same thing. Kerrie and Craig go into a huddle with Mick and Matt to discuss the best way to murder the other four.
We are then subjected to a montage of various contestants lying about how their dish has to be "perfect". Not a single dish has been perfect this whole series, so it's pretty obvious that this is not the standard being aimed for.
Colin asks Angela and Melina what they're making. Melina explains that she is not de-boning her quail, because her nonna taught her that people enjoy eating tiny bones. She informs us that her family loves it this way, but she has failed to account for the fact that today she is cooking for someone with no emotional incentive to lie to her.
Elsewhere Ashlee calls Sophia babe twice and Sophia calls Ashlee babe once. Repeat. Sophia is filleting her fish, and taking her time because she wants to show the fish respect. Apparently Sophia applies different rules to fish than to human beings. Colin approaches to ask why Ashlee and Sophia have placed a chopping board on the floor. Sophia explains that she didn't know where the sink was. Colin indicates that maybe she could walk around the kitchen and find out. Sophia is incensed: walking was not part of the deal.
Meanwhile Kerrie has burnt her rhubarb jam, and Craig finally has some decent ammunition in the domestic war. This is a good time for Kerrie to explain to us for the fifth time that it's Comeback Kitchen and they're cooking for a chance to blah blah blah.
With 45 minutes to go, Mick and Matt are continuing to be boringly efficient, although Matt is feeling a little stressed as he wrestles with what he calls a "pastry", but looks more like a recently run-over wombat.
Sophia is finding the fish takes longer to fillet than she expected – the fish isn't showing her enough respect. Sophia boasts about how much technique she's showing, being under the impression that "technique" is fancy culinary jargon for "being really frigging slow". "Show respect to the produce and it pays off," she blathers as she begins to lose her mind. She begins sewing a tiny dress for the fish and books it two weeks' holiday in Bali.
Time is a problem for everyone, as Kerrie rushes to make a new batch of rhubarb jam and Matt struggles with his enormous brown tart. Mick suggests he make a smaller tart, and Matt is hit with inspiration: what if he made a smaller tart? Mick's genius has saved the day, but quickly dissipates as it is revealed he is pouring any random liquid he can find into the diane sauce.
Melina explains how to make a potato and zucchini fritter, as Angela slips into a coma beside her. Together, they attempt to make custard sound much more dramatic than it is.
We haven't heard Colin yell for a while, so he yells the rules of the challenge again, which is Sophia's cue to tell us the rules of the challenge, triggering Mick to explain the rules of the challenge to us.
Matt sticks his tart in the oven and starts to hyperventilate, while Melina starts making pea mash for some perverted reason. "We've gotta make this spectacular," Angela tells her, trying to repress her knowledge that they completely lack the ability to do so.
In other news, Ashlee and Sophia have developed OCD and are convinced that they can only postpone the coming of the Antichrist by opening and closing the oven door every five minutes. Mick objects to this, the proud father leaping to the defence of his son and his son's tart. Sophia declares that Mick is set to make her "lose the plot", although given the way the producers keep stretching things out, it might be good to lose the plot and let everyone improvise for a bit.
With ten minutes to go, Colin hopes they're using every minute they've got, rather than going down the obvious path of having a bit of a lie-down. Sophia has to make a sauce for the fish, babe. It's just butter and garlic, because anything more elaborate would be disrespectful.
Disaster has struck Angela and Melina, who once more are suffering the dreadful bad luck of being woefully incompetent. Their custard is far too runny. They will replace it with chocolate. Really original girls.
Meanwhile, Matt takes his tart out of the tin and Kerrie's puddings aren't ready, which might be a reference to her dessert or some kind of foreplay code that she and Craig use. With 10 seconds to go everyone is hurling sauce in all directions and pulling puddings out of ovens and smearing custard on plates and time is up and Ashlee and Sophia jump up and down and squeal as if merely spending 90 minutes in a kitchen without dying represents an achievement. Sophia is sure their dish looks better than everyone else's, but then she was complimented far too often as a child.
Kerrie and Craig are the first to be judged, and Colin meets their friendly smiles with the expression of a man who can remember the exact moment that life ceased to have any meaning for him. Mick and Matt are next, and Matt is almost in tears at the thought his tart filling may not have set: every young boy's nightmare. Then up come Ashlee and Sophia, who Colin knows well from his Jerks Anonymous meetings. Ashlee isn't feeling too safe, until she remembers that Angela and Melina are definitely hopeless. Melina is happy with the way she's cooked the quail, but it is likely that, as in every challenge they have participated so far, she is horribly mistaken.
Colin lines the teams up to deliver his judgment, but must first wait for the orchestra to finish their bloated flourish. He tells Kerrie and Craig he wanted more sauce on their meat, and their pudding was a disappointment liable to cause suicidal ideation. Mick and Matt served up good meat and a good tart, but Colin hates raspberry coulis, probably because it looks too much like happiness. Ashlee and Sophia's fish was cooked well, but Colin points out that people at restaurants don't want to eat a bowl of butter – a stunning revelation for the girls. Also their crumble wasn't crumbly enough – Colin likes his crumble so crumbly it could get a discount at an RSL. Finally to Angela and Melina, who have done a lot of things wrong because doing things wrong is their area of expertise.
And the team that's going home is ... Seven News Update. After screaming "WHY?" at the TV for a few minutes, we're back in the kitchen to hear the contestants explain how they'd prefer not to lose while they wait for Colin to finish his sentence ...
... and it's Kerrie and Craig. Kerrie has made that oldest of errors: too much rhubarb. They leave with hugs and the sad delusion that their children are proud of them.
And so the final three teams will compete to gain entry to the finals. The team that makes the least money will be automatically eliminated, while the team judged best by Colin, Pete and Manu will re-enter the main competition. Angela and Melina high-five each other in a comical display of dramatic irony. Sophia says she wants the other teams to bow down, because it's well-established that she sucks as a human being.
And so it is time to prepare to serve food to real people who are coming to a real restaurant expecting to get a really cheap meal. Mick is going to change his potatoes, which he considered too old-fashioned the first time, so he will sprinkle them with glitter and put a phat beat behind them.
"I'm cutting the apples now babe!" calls Ashlee, well aware that if she goes 15 seconds without saying something banal her heart will explode. Ashlee and Sophia have abandoned their butter sauce in favour of fish broth, which sounds absolutely revolting.
Angela and Melina are going back to basics, which I guess means they'll be mentioning their nonnas a lot.
Meanwhile Mick looks at Ashlee and Sophia and can't believe what he's seeing: a gigantic pile of unfilleted fish. It's like the basement of a fish serial killer, and Sophia's average rate of one fish filleted per week may leave them struggling to meet deadline.
Angela and Melina are spending their time pretending they're genuine Italians, causing Angela to say "bella" and Melina to pronounce "ragout" bizarrely.
Mick has entered a spud-peeling trance, blindly peeling potatoes in a frenzy as Joe Esposito's You're The Best plays, Mick finishing off his peeling session by crane-kicking Colin in the face.
In contrast to Mick's Myagi-esque confidence, Sophia is in tears over her inability to finish filleting the fish by Anzac Day. She explains that she is letting her emotions take over, which represents a shocking twist to viewers, who had no idea that she had any emotions.
It's been about 30 seconds since someone explained the rules of the challenge, so Angela does so. Colin approaches Sophia to tell her that he was told she was a fighter: but he actually misheard; he was told she is a "biter". Sophia continues to fillet the fish agonisingly slowly, and begins regretting showing it so much respect – the fish is now mocking her, and she hears snide fish laughter echoing in her demented ears.
Meanwhile Mick is really happy with the way Matt's going, and tonight the boy will not have to sleep in the yard. Elsewhere Melina is grilling quail and getting stressed over cannoli in a scene very reminiscent of the assassination of Bruno Tattaglia in The Godfather. Melina notes that they have been over-ambitious, though to be fair for Angela and Melina operating a microwave without losing a limb is over-ambitious. Angela tells Colin she has 75 more cannolis to make: Colin restrains his guffaws.
Ashlee and Sophia are feeling better because they're getting things done. Colin reminds them that they're supposed to be making a crumble: this comes as quite a surprise to them. Ashlee's only worry about the dessert is that the crumble cooks correctly: in some ways this seems like quite a major point.
Another major point is that Angela's cannolis aren't working. Colin screws up his face, as if his nostrils have just detected the stench of failure. It's possible Angela and Melina may have to just grind up the cannoli shells and serve them as mentally ill biscuits.
It's six o'clock and a whole army of people who are looking forward to not having to pay for their dinner floods into the kitchen. "We're testing so much more tonight than cooking skills," says Matt, but he's a bit confused, because actually they're not. For her part Sophia is disgusted by the thought of working alongside Angela and Melina, and briefly considers strangling them and making a run for it. But there's no time, because orders are coming in and Mick is so excited he drops his timer into a saucepan in what is probably a really distasteful metaphor. At this point Melina says "ragout" weirdly again, the pressure affecting her brain in unexpected ways.
An order comes in for Ashlee and Sophia's bream, and Colin drops the bombshell that could Change the Game Forever. "Her name's not Babe tonight," he barks, and suddenly Sophia's world comes crashing down around her. Her nervous system goes into severe spasms and she suffers catastrophic respiratory distress as she wonders how she can possibly go on if she's unable to call people Babe. Why not tell a nightingale not to sing?
Sophia takes a breather to explain the rules of the challenge for those who missed the last 20 explanations, and then explains how there is no way any other team can possibly win because that is what Satan promised when she signed the contract.
The teams are getting flustered as it becomes clear that Ashlee and Sophia don't understand how a kitchen works, which considering Angela and Melina already don't understand how food works, is a burden. Even Matt and Mick are feeling it, repeatedly forgetting to put food on plates.
A crisis erupts as Sophia is forced to throw some fish in the bin due to the fact that Sophia is incapable of cooking bream and talking to people at the same time. Her previously cordial, sisterly relationship with Melina is fraying at the edges.
As if by a miracle, the teams somehow begin to do their jobs properly, but it's at this moment that customers begin complaining that their meat is too pink, but given that they only have to pay whatever they want, I don't see they have grounds to bitch. To tell the truth they just seem greedy, given they're eating half their quails before sending them back, obviously hopeful of getting multiple quails for the price of ... well, none, really.
A quick break for an ad that gives away the result of tonight's show, and it's back to the kitchen, where everyone is moving in fast-motion and Pete and Manu have arrived, which means Ashlee and Sophia decide to stop cooking for anyone else and just cook for the judges because they are true professionals. "I just dunno what's going on here," sobs Mick, possibly referring to the girls' shenanigans, but also possibly just having a senior moment.
Pete and Manu receive their bream, and Sophia gets emotional at the thought of them eating her food. That's the thing about emotions: once you start having them you can tear up over anything, no matter how stupid. The fish seems like a success, and now it's time for Angela and Melina's quail, which makes Angela so nervous her heart is pounding "a million miles a second", her nerves having destroyed her ability to measure time. Lastly the venison, which Pete seems suspicious of: has it been sufficiently alkalised? Manu finds the venison cooked well, but can't put his finger on the sauce – luckily, because that's what a fork is for. Pete thinks that if anyone had reservations about eating venison, this would change their minds, his contempt for the sham ideals of animal liberationists dripping from every word.
Dessert time, and immediately Ashlee must do her crumble again. Matt yells that his tart will be five minutes. Mick berates him viciously. Orders for cannoli stream in, and Angela and Melina begin running out of cannoli, though it is not their fault, as they were born this way.
Colin announces it's the last order. The contestants cheer. "What are you cheering for?" snaps Colin, the concept of joy and celebration biting painfully into his icy heart.
Pete and Manu do not like the cannolis much because they have chocolate and lemon combined in them, a dead giveaway that they have been constructed by crazy drunken women. The crumble is better, but not crumbly enough: damn you Ashlee! Will you never learn the true meaning of crumble? Up comes Matt's chocolate tart, causing Manu to say "Ooh la la!" because he heard a French dude say that in a movie once. Pete and Manu adore the tart, and Matt has once again proven his credentials as the Prince of Tarts.
As the teams take a deep breath, Sophia ducks into the pantry to cry and talk painfully slowly to the camera. Elsewhere the customers are deciding how much to pay for their meals, and proving what a mob of cheapskate gits they are. Why anyone would worry about how good the food is escapes me, given the restaurant was filled with the sort of people who will offer $12 for venison without even blushing.
Back in the kitchen, everyone is relieved to have finished, and lining up to find out who will win: will it be Mick and Matt rewarded for their skill and hard work? Will it be Ashlee and Sophia rewarded for their lack of human decency and unjustified conceitedness? Or will it be Angela and Melina rewarded for their utter absence of ability?
Colin begins by telling Angela and Melina they did OK, to which Angela reacts by saying that they deserve to be back in Kitchen HQ because she's been smoking something. Colin tells Ashlee and Sophia they did very well and it becomes instantly clear that Angela and Melina have once again been foiled by the fact they're not as good as Ashlee and Sophia. Colin tells Mick and Matt that Manu loved their sauce (ooh la la!) and that the judges used a series of "words" to describe their dessert.
All the teams demonstrate their ignorance and illiteracy by referring to "kitchen haitch-cue".
The team that made the least amount of money is now announced, and it is ... Angela and Melina, who are extremely unlucky to get exactly what they deserved. "I think we've done an awesome job," says Angela drunkenly.
Now time to announce the actual winner, who will return to Kitchen HQ for a chance to lose again. Mick says he thinks they deserve to be back, although he doesn't want to sound like a bighead. Sophia, in contrast, is well aware that horse has bolted.
And the winner is ...
Mick and Matt!
A just reward for the plucky Tassie father-and-son Jerry Lewis impersonators. Angela and Melina are happy for them. The camera avoids panning to Ashlee and Sophia, because they are currently literally on fire, shattered by the fact that they won't be on TV anymore until they get their own late-night dating show. Melina then jumps on Mick in a lather of erotic desire, and Comeback Kitchen is finally over, after what by my calculations has been 15 glorious months of culinary drama.
Tomorrow it's back to Kitchen HQ, where Jake and Elle will attempt to create new life in a test tube using only pineapple juice and cherries.

HANOVER, N.H. – The 2014 season has come to an end for the University of Pennsylvania softball team, which fell in the third game of the Ivy League Championship Series to Dartmouth at the Dartmouth Softball Park on Sunday afternoon. The Quakers held the lead until the Big Green put up five runs in the bottom of the sixth and never looked back. The Red and Blue went down in order in the top of the seventh, ending the game 7-3.Game 3 ILCS
WP: Kristen Rumley (17-7), 7.0 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 8 K
LP: Alexis Borden (11-10), 5.2 IP, 7 H, 7 ER, 4 BB, 1 K
In the first two games of the series, the Quakers were first on the board and they kept the trend going in the third game. After two scoreless innings, the Red and Blue cracked the score board in the top of the third when sophomore Kanani Datan recorded an RBI single. Before Datan got the hit through the right side, junior tri-captain Sydney Turchin stole second for the go-ahead run.
Penn then extended the lead to 3-0 with two more runs in the top of the fourth. Freshman Leah Allen led off for the Red and Blue with an infield single and stole second -- her 14th of the season. Allen then scored easily when senior Kayla Dahlerbruch singled up the middle, for the 2-0 lead. Sophomore Korinne Raby kept the hitting streak going, singling through the right side, putting up the third run of the day for Penn when freshman pinch runner Vera Barnwell slid safely into home.
The Quakers held the 3-0 lead until the bottom of the fifth when Dartmouth's Kara Curosh hit a two-run homer over the left field wall. Penn still held the lead, but the Big Green took their first lead of the day with five runs in the bottom of the sixth, which were ultimately the winning runs.
Dartmouth got a head start in the inning with two reaching via walks. Pitcher Kristen Rumley then smacked a double to left center to score two runs, for the Big Green's first lead of the day, 4-3. Dartmouth continued to ride the momentum, scoring three more runs to take a 7-3 lead.
With one final chance at bat, the Quakers struggled to put the ball in play and went down in order.
Penn ends the 2014 season with a 19-22-1 overall record.

Colorectal cancer -- cancer of the colon and rectum -- is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in America. Colon cancer occurs in the large intestine. If the cancer is in the last 6 inches of the colon (the rectum), it is considered rectal cancer. The colon is the lower part of the digestive system, which processes food for energy and rids the body of solid waste. Together, these cancers are referred to as colorectal cancers. Most colorectal cancers begin as benign adenomas, or polyps that grow on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. These growths spread very slowly, taking from 10 - 20 years to become cancerous. Regular screening tests can identify and remove polyps before they becomes cancerous. Once colorectal cancer is diagnosed, the prognosis depends on how far the cancer has spread.
About 150,000 cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed every year in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. Most cases occur in people over 50. Although colorectal cancer is expected to be responsible for about 52,000 deaths a year, it is highly treatable if caught early.
Unfortunately, most people with colorectal cancer don't experience any symptoms in the early stage of the disease. That's why screening tests, such as a colonoscopy, are so important.
In general, signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer can include the following:
These symptoms may be caused by colorectal cancer or by other conditions such as infections, hemorrhoids, and inflammatory bowel disease. It is important to tell your doctor about any of these symptoms.
More than half of all colorectal cancers occur without any known cause. Studies also suggest that genetics may play a role. Some people with colorectal cancer carry specific genetic mutations or have relatives with the condition. Those with a family history of specific genetic syndromes -- such as familial adenomatous polyposis, Lynch syndrome, juvenile polyposis, and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome -- are also at an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. About 25% of patients have a familial component. Smoking and eating a high fat diet also raise the risk of developing cancer. Both genetics and lifestyle factors may play a strong role in determining which "at risk" individuals develop the disease.
Risk factors for colorectal cancer include:
You doctor will take a complete medical history, perform a physical exam, and may order one or more tests to diagnose colorectal cancer. Standard tests used to diagnose colorectal cancer include sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and barium enema. During a sigmoidoscopy or a colonoscopy, a biopsy (sample of tissue) is removed from the colon or rectum and examined under a microscope in order to detect abnormal growths. If the doctor finds cancer, a series of tests (chest x-ray, abdominal CT scan, and blood tests to check liver function) will be done to see if the cancer has spread and to help determine the stage (or extent) of the disease. Stages of colorectal cancer include:
Colorectal cancer is highly preventable, even curable, when detected early. Regular screening for colorectal cancer detects polyps before they become cancerous. Current guidelines recommend these screening options, starting at age 50 for people who have an average risk of colon cancer:
Those with a family history of colorectal cancer should have a colonoscopy every 3 - 5 years, starting at least 10 years before the age of the relative at the time of his or her diagnosis.
Diet and Exercise
Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon and halibut) and calcium (such as sea vegetables and kale), can help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Limiting alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, and reducing the intake of high fat and fried foods, particularly red meats, may also protect against developing colorectal cancer.
Maintaining a proper weight and exercising regularly also cut your risk of developing colorectal cancer. Even small amounts of exercise on a regular basis can help. The American Cancer Society recommends at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most days.
Surgery to remove the part of the colon containing tumor is the primary treatment. Depending on the stage of the cancer, surgery is generally followed with chemotherapy. If the tumor is particularly large, you may need radiation before or after surgery.
Some medications or supplements may help prevent the development of polyps or colorectal cancer. Making lifestyle changes, especially eating less red meat, losing weight, quitting smoking, and getting more exercise, may help prevent the disease -- even in people with a family history of the condition.
Even if you have no family history of colorectal cancer, an unhealthy lifestyle can increase your risk of developing the disease. Some experts believe making healthy lifestyle changes may decrease the risk of developing colorectal cancer by as much as 70% for some people.
Many studies support the association between colorectal cancer and lack of exercise and obesity. Research continues to show that exercise and low calorie diets may help to prevent colorectal cancer.
A large, population based study of men and women in Hawaii found that the following lifestyle factors were linked with colorectal cancer:
After surgery, chemotherapy (the use of anticancer drugs to destroy cancer cells) may be given to kill any cancerous cells that remain in the body. Chemotherapy controls the spread of the disease and improves survival rates over time. The following chemotherapeutic medications are often used alone or in combination to treat colorectal cancer:
Long term use of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are being investigated in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. However, these drugs have risks of their own, including an increased risk of stomach bleeding. NSAIDs may also increase risk of heart problems.
Surgery is the treatment of choice for colorectal cancer, and is best when the disease is found at an early stage. Polyps can be removed during a colonoscopy, before becoming cancerous. When colon cancer is present, a person may need a partial or total removal of the colon (colectomy) and rectum (rectal resection). It depends on how severe the cancer is, where it is located, and whether or where it has spread. During surgery, the surgeon also examines other organs for signs of cancer. If cancer has spread to the liver, a portion of the liver may be removed as well. After removing the tumor and nearby tissue, the surgeon reconnects the healthy portions of the colon or rectum. If the healthy parts of the colon or rectum cannot be reconnected, a temporary or permanent opening (stoma) is made through the wall of the abdomen to provide a path for waste material to leave the body. This procedure is called a colostomy. Radiation may also be used before or during surgery to shrink the tumor, and it may be recommended after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence. After surgery, colonoscopies are performed every 3 - 6 months for 3 years.
Colorectal cancer should never be treated with nutrition and dietary supplements alone. However, a comprehensive treatment plan for colorectal cancer may include a range of complementary and alternative therapies. Some supplements and herbs may help reduce side effects from conventional medications. Others may help reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer. Mind body therapies such as meditation, relaxation techniques, yoga, and qi gong may reduce the effects of stress and enhance your response to treatment. Ask your team of health care providers about the best ways to incorporate these therapies into your overall treatment plan.
Always tell your health care provider about the herbs and supplements you are using or considering using. Many supplements may interfere with conventional cancer treatments, including chemotherapy.
Follow these nutritional tips for overall health:
These supplements may also help reduce risk of colorectal cancer:
Herbs are generally a safe way to strengthen and tone the body's systems. However, herbs alone should never be used to treat colon cancer, and you should talk to your doctor before taking any herbs if you are being treated for colon cancer. Some herbs can interfere with chemotherapy and other treatments. As with any therapy, you should work with your health care provider to diagnose your problem before starting treatment. You may use herbs as dried extracts (capsules, powders, teas), glycerites (glycerine extracts), or tinctures (alcohol extracts). Unless otherwise indicated, make teas with 1 tsp. herb per cup of hot water. Steep covered 5 - 10 minutes for leaf or flowers, and 10 - 20 minutes for roots. Drink 2 - 4 cups per day. You may use tinctures alone or in combination as noted.
Acupuncture is not used as a treatment for cancer itself. But evidence suggests it can help reduce cancer related symptoms (particularly the nausea and vomiting that often accompanies chemotherapy). Studies show that acupuncture may help reduce pain and shortness of breath. Acupressure (pressing on rather than needling acupuncture points) may also help in controlling breathlessness. People can learn this technique and use it to treat themselves.
Some acupuncturists prefer to work with a patient only after conventional medical cancer therapy. Others will provide acupuncture or herbal therapy during active chemotherapy or radiation. Make sure you discuss these treatments with your medical team before proceeding. Acupuncturists treat cancer patients based on an individualized assessment of the excesses and deficiencies of qi located in various meridians. In many cases of cancer related symptoms, a qi deficiency is usually detected in the spleen or kidney meridians.
Relaxation techniques can help people undergoing surgery. One study found that patients who received standard care plus use of guided imagery audiotapes before, during, and after surgery experienced significantly better sleep and less pain following the surgery than patients who received only standard care.
Colorectal cancer may be hard to detect in pregnant women. That's because symptoms of the disease, such as rectal bleeding, nausea, and vomiting, resemble the symptoms of pregnancy. Pregnant women should avoid chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Surgery puts the fetus at risk. Usually folic acid and nutritional needs are maintained during pregnancy, and treatment is postponed until after the baby is delivered.
Follow up care after treatment for colorectal cancer is very important. If the cancer returns or if new cancer develops, it should be treated as soon as possible. Left untreated, colorectal cancer can spread to the liver or lungs, or a tumor may block the colon. In some cases, people with colorectal cancer may need to have their entire colon or rectum removed. If the surgeon cannot reconnect healthy portions of the colon or rectum, a temporary or permanent surgical opening (stoma) is made through the wall of the abdomen into the colon to provide a new path for waste material to leave the body. The person wears a special bag to collect body waste. People who have this procedure may need counseling on how to care for the stoma, as well as how to deal with any emotional difficulties.
The prognosis depends on how deeply the tumor has grown into the tissue and whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the abdominal region or to other areas of the body.

Chapel Sessions
Chapel services are a mainstay at Clear Creek. We strive to provide our students with spiritually relevant preaching. We have been privileged to hear from such biblical preachers as Dr. Paul Chitwood, Dr. Norman Geisler, Dr. Ergun Caner, Clear Creek staff and faculty, and various other KBC pastors. This is why chapel attendance is required for all students — even those who attend online. All of our chapels can be accessed online above.
Students play an integral role in chapel beyond attendance. Our senior students are given the opportunity to preach as a culmination of their studies. Other students participate by leading worship, singing solos, playing instruments, or participating in the Clear Creek Singers group.
As part of our chapel program, we host two endowed lecture series. The Barry Lectures are traditionally held every fall and are focused on enhancing the preaching content and style of our students. The Lacy-Lykins lecture series is held each spring and is focused on the marriage relationship.
Do you need to report your chapel attendance this week? Our new attendance portal has been launched and is ready for you to login securely and identify which chapels you have attended. Check it out.

Last week we joined Gracey The Tiniest Tiger in Hollywood for a star-studded pre-Oscar event to launch Gracey's newest venture, Triple T Studios. (Okay, Gracey wasn't actually in Hollywood, but Flat Gracey was there!) We attended the Secret Room Luxury Lounge where we met all sorts of cat-loving celebrities.
So, what's this actually all about? Gracey's mom Joanne McGonagle spent last summer living among the lions with the Maasai in Kenya as part of a Global Field Master of Zoology program. Joanne's blog, The Tiniest Tiger, which features her cat Gracey, has raised over $30,000 to help both domestic and big cat programs. Joanne and her business partner Maureen de Schepper recently created Triple T Studios to continue raising funds for similar global conservation programs. The Tiniest Tiger Hipster bag is the first product designed by Triple T Studios, with the proceeds from sales going to Lion Guardians. This appearance at the red carpet event was the official launch of Triple T Studios.
The Tiniest Tiger Hipster bag is a cool little quilted bag with subtle cat silhouettes sewn on the outside and lots of pockets to hold all your essentials. It's lightly padded and just the right size to hold an iPad. The bag can be purchased for a special introductory price of $59 on The Tiniest Tiger's website.
Just a few of the celebrities who stopped by to see us included Jackson Galaxy, Derek Mears, Alice Greczyn, Hal Sparks, and Angela Kinsey who plays one of TV's most well-known cat ladies, Angela Martin from The Office. They were all so nice and interested in what Triple T Studios is doing and everyone had their picture taken with Flat Gracey.
Here's your chance to win your very own Tiniest Tiger Hipster bag, including $242 of cat goodies and savings from the awesome companies and blogs that sponsored the pre-Oscar event! Check out all the sponsors and swag here.
To enter, please leave a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing and announced on March 6, 2012. One entry per person. This giveaway includes free shipping to addresses in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia.

Question: What is my coin worth?
Answer: We get frequent questions at the Museum as to the value of coins and medals (and other objects from a range of different areas) that people may be holding.
Unfortunately Museum Victoria is not able to provide valuations of coins, or indeed of any items.
Published price guides for items such as coins, antiques and stamps are often available through the municipal library system, and commercial dealers specialising in these items can be helpful.
A rough guide to current worth can sometimes be obtained by a search for similar items on online auction sites, although due caution should be exercised.
Another helpful resource is the Cultural Gifts Program's 'List of approved valuers'. This is a Commonwealth-approved list of professional valuers, listed by state and specialty. These experts may charge a fee for their services, but they can be contacted for confirmation of any applicable fees or charges.
You can view the list in the reference library in the Discovery Centre at Melbourne Museum.
To get your own copy of the list, and for further information about the Cultural Gifts Program, contact:
SecretariatCultural Gifts ProgramDepartment of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts GPO Box 787 Canberra ACT 2601 Telephone: (02) 6275 9651 Facsimile: (02) 6275 9664 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Website: http://www.arts.gov.au/tax_incentives/cgp (The 'List of Approved Valuers' is available as a pdf download in the right column of the website.)
Please note: Museum Victoria cannot tell you how much your object is worth. Please read this infosheet for further advice. We will not publish or respond to comments asking us to value an object.
Sorry, Sam - we're not sure which coin you're referring to. In any case, determining the validity of a coin is best done with the advice of a coin specialist who can examine the item in your possession and advise accordingly. Each mint had its own traditions regarding marking or not marking their coins.
Alfred, there were many coins and medals struck in relation to the 1880 exhibition. If you are proposing this medal as a donation to Museum Victoria's collection, please do so using this form, giving us as much information as you can about the particular item in your collection.
Hi Sharon,
Please refer to our Coin - Crown, Queen Victoria, Great Britain, 1897 webpage.
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the offer, but unfortunately, we won't be able to publish your photo. We will, however, eventually get around to photographing ours, but in the meantime, enjoy your medal!
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Was $99.95 NOW $59.95
This foot massager combines Japanese acupressure techniques with heat therapy to soothe and relax sore and tired feet. Unlike bulky foot massagers that are made from rough or rigid materials, this soft model is encased in fleece that is as comfortable as slippers. Inside, the massager has two customizable rotating nodes that target pressure points on the soles, simulating the fingertip motions used in Shiatsu to relax the muscles and facilitate blood flow. An adjustable heat setting, which can be used in combination or on its own, enhances blood circulation to soothe sore, tired muscles in the feet. Users select their desired settings with a tethered handheld controller. The lightweight massager is portable and has a machine-washable lining. Plugs into AC. 11 3/4" L x 11 3/4" W x 8" H. (3 lbs.)

Shiatsu Heated Foot Massager is great!
By Jewels
from Wilmington, NC
I have used my foot massage every day for the maximum time limit and found that my feet feel extremely relaxed and better circulation. I was using the higher speed when I started, but found that using the lower speed was just, if not more enjoyable. The size of the boot seems a little small, as I was going to recommend it for my son who is a runner, however, he wears a size 12 shoe, and I don't think he would be able to fit his feet inside comfortably.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My feet feel so good after using the massager. The only complaint I have is the remote wire is too short!

Christmas present for my husband
By Jans109
from Midland, TX
My husband found it very uncomfortable as there is little padding over the massage rollers in bottom. The heat was fine.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It does not emit enough heat to warm my feet, and the knobs that massage the feet are so hard that they hurt my feet.
