Out-of-School Time
Out-of-school time settings are the places where kids spend their time before and after school, during school breaks, and over the summer. These are prime environments where youth can be encouraged to eat healthier and move more.
Out-of-school time providers across the country are already supporting the healthy development of young people. To build on these efforts, we use our knowledge and experience to give staff the most comprehensive support to increase healthy eating and physical activity.
|Watch Our Program in Action
Healthy Eating
A focus on healthy eating includes evaluating the snacks and beverages kids consume during the time they are in their out-of-school time setting. Healthy foods rich in nutrients will provide youth the energy they need for an active life.
Physical Activity
Physical activity during out-of-school time can help kids achieve their recommended 60 minutes of physical activity a day. Out-of-school time environments may be the only place some youth feel engaged enough to participate.
Youth Engagement
Engaging youth to be a part of your healthy changes helps sustain those changes. An invitation to be involved is welcomed by young people and gives them the confidence and self-respect to continue making healthy choices over time.
Our trainings are visually-engaging, recorded presentations led by expert staff to provide guidance as you and your staff work toward your specific goals at your own pace.
Our roadmaps give you an overview of standards, tell you why they are important, and offer first steps and resources to get you started developing your Action Plan.

HANOVER, N.H. -- Vice President Joe Biden took the stage to the cheers of roughly 1,300 students and local residents at Dartmouth College on Friday to deliver a stump speech aimed directly at the young voters who could prove crucial to the Obama campaign.
Underscoring the importance of this year's presidential contest to young people, Biden told the crowd, "There is no group of Americans to which, quite frankly, this should matter more than to all of you on this campus and on campuses all across America."
Calling the assembled students representative "of an incredible generation," the vice president highlighted the Obama administration's support for Pell grants and student loan forgiveness programs.
"I know the average student in America, as they walk across the platform to receive their diploma this May, will also get a bill for $25,000 on average," Biden said, before pivoting to criticize cuts in education spending supported by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
Biden did not shy from drawing a stark contrast with Romney on broader ideological issues, pointing to the Republican candidate's disparaging comments about Americans who pay no federal income tax and receive government benefits as evidence of a fundamentally flawed view of society.
"How could he be so profoundly wrong about America? How is that possible?" Biden asked to rising cheers from the crowd. "Not in my neighborhood. Not where I grew up. Not the people I know."
Perhaps the most important part of his speech to a friendly college-town crowd in a swing state, however, was Biden's response to his listeners' vocalized dislike for Romney.
"I don't need your boos," the vice president reminded them. "I need your help."

There has been plenty of frustration to go around in a perplexing St. Louis Cardinals season that has seen the club struggle to find its stride through the first five months of the campaign.
Now that the Redbirds have finally found their way to first place with a month to go it seems like the players casual fans have pointed fingers at during the down times are the ones who have come together to carry the Cardinals in the clutch.
Jon Jay had his job taken away from him not in spring training -- but before camp even started. He didn't pout and he didn't whine, all he did was win his job back -- twice. Folks who carried over their frustration from his late 2013 slump seemed unwilling to let him back into the good graces of Redbirds Nation.
Even when he was out-hitting fellow center fielder Peter Bourjos by 70 or 80 points, some corners of Cardinalsdom were still complaining that Bourjos was a better player. But Jay kept on producing and seems to have won over 90 percent of the folks who were rooting against him. He's hitting .311 for the season and .382 over the last month. And a hefty portion on his offense has come in the clutch, sparking the Birds to much needed wins.
"Why is Daniel Descalso even on this team?" Is a question that I've heard repeatedly over the past few months. I didn't really get it because, in my mind, it was because he could play four defensive positions well. He isn't necessarily on the team because of his bat. His presence allows other players to be on the team because of their bats.
Still, Descalso is a guy who has come through with big hits in the past. He didn't get much of a chance to play earlier in the season because Matt Carpenter plays every day at third base, Jhonny Peralta has been reliable at shortstop and Mark Ellis was signed to backstop rookie Kolten Wong at second.
But with Ellis out with an injury and Carpenter and first baseman Matt Adams slumping, Descalso has had a chance to put together a few at bats over the past month or so. And he has done an exceptional job.
He hit .389 in August in 44 plate appearances and has a .488 on base percentage. He's been forced to face a lot of lefty pitchers this season. While he's only batting .198 against righties, he's batting .355 against lefties for the season.
But the favorite whipping boy of all has been the guy who makes $17 million a year out in left field.
Holliday has become something of a target for complainers because of his relatively large paycheck. He hasn't exactly hit his usual numbers of a .300 average with 25 or so homers and 90 plus runs batted in. But he hasn't been terrible, either. Holliday's game-winning RBI Monday against Pittsburgh was his 21st of the season which leads all of Major League Baseball.
But lately he has carried the team. He's been the power supply with slugger Matt Adams shorting out and he's pushed into the 80s in RBIs with 17 homers.
It's a good thing the Redbirds have stuck with these three proven producers. It's paying off big time.

Our inaugural rant is a summer tribute, Chicago's lollapalooza ranch, from Robinson's No.1 Ribs. It didn't come easy, the first attempt gave only a few feeble sprayed ranch droplets. Luckily, our friendly cashier brought out a fresh full bottle of cold goodness.
Unfortunately, the ranch wasn't worth the anticipation and was actually even inferior to the BBQ sauce.

banana and coconut
three-milk cake
- 180g unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (220g) caster (superfine) sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana (approximately 3 small bananas)
- 1½ cups (225g) self-raising (self-rising) flour
- 1 cup (250ml) coconut milk
- 1 cup (250ml) milk
- 395g can condensed milk
- 2 cups (500ml) single (pouring) cream
- ½ cup (25g) coconut flakes, toasted
- Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Place the butter, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 6–8 minutes or until pale and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the banana and flour and beat on low speed until just combined.
- Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 22cm springform cake tin lined with non-stick baking paper and cook for 45–50 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool completely in the tin.
- Using a skewer, make holes all over the top of the cake. Place the milks in a large jug and whisk well to combine. Place the cake tin on a baking tray to catch any leaks, and gradually pour the milk mixture all over the cake. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours or until the milk mixture has been absorbed.
- Remove the cake from the tin and place on a plate. Place the cream in a bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until soft peaks form. Top the cake with the cream and sprinkle with the coconut flakes to serve. Serves 8.

Hi Siri, the condensed milk does need to be sweetened. The DH Team.
Siri Rattana-Ngam
The condensed milk doesn't have to be sweetened, or does it?
Pippa Lin
I Loved this cake. It was moist and delicious. A perfect dessert.
Carla Moore
Accidentally rated this 3 star, meant to go 5.! ( fat fingers) Loved this cake. It looked beautiful, dinner guests loved it. Added some milk choc chips that dropped to the bottom and mixed nicely with the condensed milk. A new favourite
Liz Winterbottom
I was so looking forward to making this cake (and eating it) but have to say was so disappointed. The milk mixture tasted heavenly but did not seem to impart any of its flavour or creaminess to the cake? Also cake was very dense and heavy. It ended up being a very ordinary banana cake. Such a shame.

The images we see of Islam in the media often conjure images of international terrorism, submissive women, or angry mobs in protest somewhere overseas. In this flood of stereotype-inducing images, we often lose sight of the more elegant and rich parts of Islamic civilization and culture. A new documentary film, Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World by Unity Productions Foundation (PBS broadcast summer 2012) seeks to present some of the riches of Islamic artistic contributions to an American audience.
On March 10th, this new film will be premiering in Chicago at the Muvico Theater to an audience of civic, faith-based, and Muslim leaders throughout the city. The film opens a window onto the larger field of Islamic art — a window that we don't often look out of — one that starts in the seventh century Arabia, and continues to today in every corner of the world. It tracks the predominant art forms, motifs, and accomplishments of Muslim artists across many different countries.
A documentary, like any film, is a journey. It starts with a question. In the case of this film, the filmmakers asked: What is the story of Islamic art? To answer this question, we engaged a dozen leading experts, art critics, and artists from across the world, and we take you to multiple continents and bring you up close to the most dazzling monuments and artistic achievements that Islamic culture has contributed to the world.
The 90-minute documentary is produced and presented by Unity Productions Foundation, a nonprofit media foundation that has made several other PBS films, including Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet, Cities of Light: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain, and Prince Among Slaves. It is directed by the Emmy award-winning filmmaker Robert Gardner, and narrated by Academy Award-winning performer Susan Sarandon.
The Chicago premiere will feature a keynote address from the film's executive producer, Michael Wolfe, author of a number of books on Islam, including The Hadj: An American's Pilgrimage to Mecca.
Exploring five themes that are central to Islamic art: the word, space, ornament, color and water, the film traces the arc of Islamic art as a universal human endeavor that frequently interacted with people of other faiths and the cultures, making a contribution to world civilization. Islamic art is the result of a surprisingly multicultural and adaptive set of artistic approaches and creations. Muslim artists would frequently adopt artistic expressions from other cultures that they integrated as new art forms were developed and it expanded upon.
Two great examples of this artistic syncretism are the Great Mosque of Djenné, the largest mud brick building in the world and the mosque is thought to be a hybrid of Islamic architecture and Sudano-Sahelian architectural forms. Of course the Taj Mahal in India is another magnificent example of cultural collaboration. Made of marbles used from countries including Rajasthan, Punjab, China, Tibet, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East, it was a combination of Persian, Islamic and Indian architectural styles.
The film takes on the controversy of whether Muslim artists are uniformly opposed figurative images. In fact, there have been many times in Islamic history where figural representations have been the norm. One striking example of this brought forward in the film is a beautiful ivory box, made during 10th century Cordoba, which is exquisitely carved with animals and other natural scenes.
We also learn how and why Islamic art turned the written word into masterpieces through the development of calligraphy, and how it made water into an expressive, useful art form.
Like all art, Islamic art carries with it the fundamental values and perspectives of the artists who created it as well as those who commissioned and paid for it. It incorporates the basic themes of transcendent beauty common to all creative endeavors. For those of us that are interested in developing a shared admiration for the artistic projects that link our rich tapestry of cultures together, we look to the material objects of great beauty, for which we don't have to have any special knowledge of to appreciate other than our own senses and universal human awareness.
As one of the scholars in the film, Dr. Fairchild Ruggles professor of landscape architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign points out, "Sometimes material objects can be the bridge between one world and another. Translucent glass is beautiful regardless of your religious background. Monumental tall domes that stretch over the heads like the heavens above are awesome whoever you are."

On Wednesday, October 31, the Los Angeles City Council passed an ordinance banning the retail sale of cats, dogs, and rabbits. The ordinance goes into effect on December 17. This is very good news. It means and end to animals from puppy, kitten, or rabbit mills in Los Angeles pet stores. This is another blow to this horrendous industry, as jurisdictions around the country are joining the bandwagon and passing similar legislation.
Puppy mills* need to go out of business for one reason, and one reason only. They are cruel, hellish places that breed dogs only for profit, and keep their overhead as low as possible by not treating their dogs with even a modicum of care. Dogs live their entire lives in small wire-bottom cages with no bedding, never having any significant human interaction, never getting proper vet care to the point where their teeth rot and tumors, infections, and other conditions go untreated, they never get bathed or brushed or groomed, they're fed low-quality food that is often stale, even moldy, their drinking water often has a film of green slimy algae, they're forced to live in blistering heat with no air conditioning in the summer, and freezing cold with no heating in the winter, their water bowls often frozen solid. The females are kept pregnant constantly, then have their puppies taken away from them before they are properly weaned.
This is how millions of dogs have to live out their entire lives, and most of it is perfectly legal. Puppy mills churn out dogs for sale at pet shops and on the Internet, and USDA regulations allow for treatment that would appall any decent person.
But if you listen to people at pet store protests or speaking in front of city council meetings, you will hear them give another reason they believe puppy mills should be banned. You will hear them say that buying puppies at pet stores causes animals in "shelters" to be killed. Their logic is that animals are being killed in pounds because of "overpopulation." "Too many animals, not enough homes." And therefore, the thinking goes, every time someone buys a puppy at a pet store, they are in essence adding to the overpopulation and causing the death of an animal in a pound. At pet store protests, these people will hold signs that say "every dog bred means a shelter dog dead," "don't breed or buy when shelter pets die" and even "pet overpopulation is NOT a myth."
In fact, at times this message seems to drown out the very real one of cruelty. In fact, the text of the Los Angeles draft ordinance reads, "whereas, the sale of commercially bred dogs, cats and rabbits contributes to the proliferation of homeless or unwanted animals that end up in public animals shelters; and whereas, prohibiting the sale of commercially bred dogs, cats and rabbits in pet stores, retail businesses or other commercial establishments may lower the City's shelter animals euthanasia rate and lead to a greater adoption rate of shelter animals...." but nowhere does it give the slightest mention of the cruelty and horrific neglect suffered by dogs in puppy mills, which is the only valid reason for shutting down puppy mills.
Puppy mills are horrible places, and must be closed down.
Killing of animals in pounds is unconscionable, and must stop.
However, these are two completely separate issues, because overpopulation is a myth, and buying a pet store puppy is not what is causing the killing in the pounds. What is causing the killing is a failure on the part of the leadership of the pounds to do what it takes to end the killing. We already know how to do this, with a proven set of protocols, the No Kill Equation.
The cruelty perpetrated on the parents of the pet store puppies in the mills is quite certainly enough of a reason all by itself to fight to end the mills. We don't need to bring in a false reason to help the cause. It doesn't help, and in fact, it can hurt not only the puppy mill cause, by diluting the message and causing people to lose sight of the very real reasons to end puppy mills, but it can also damage the attempts to bring about an end to pound killing, because the only way we are going to end that killing is by first recognizing and accepting that overpopulation is a myth.
Also, by making a blanket statement that pets die in pounds because of breeding, we alienate reputable breeders, and this is a mistake. These breeders could be a valuable ally against both puppy mills and pound killing. If we could only separate mass breeding for profit from breeding by people whose motive is not profit but a love of the dogs, we could get a much larger number of people to be vocal on our side.
Protesters at pet stores, as an explanation of why we know pet stores sell puppy mill animals, will rightly say that reputable breeders do not sell their animals to pet shops. But at the same time, they are carrying the "every dog bred is a shelter dog dead" signs, and spouting the corresponding rhetoric. Very mixed message. Can you imagine any breeders joining in a protest that voices these platitudes?
And by not distinguishing reputable breeders from puppy mills, we are also alienating another group of people: those who won't go to a shelter or rescue, can't be persuaded to, and feel they must have not only a purebred dog, but a puppy, and don't care that purebred puppies do come into the pounds. If they are given simply a choice between pet stores and the pound, and not helped to find a good breeder, they will be pushed to choose the pet store.
There is a connection between pet stores selling puppies and pounds killing animals, but it is not at all that which the "overpopulation" believers are trying to tell us. It isn't that animals are being killed in pounds because they are being displaced by puppies sold in pet stores, rather pet stores are able to sell more puppies in part because shelters are not meeting the needs of the dogs and the public–not having offsite adoptions, not having convenient opening hours, not advertising–and therefore killing more animals.
As Nathan Winograd says in Redemption:
[T]he more animals dying in a given community (which traditionalists claim means lack of homes), the greater number of pet stores that sell dogs and cats (which shows homes readily available). Generally, pet stores succeed when a shelter is not meeting market demand or competing effectively, and because animal lovers do not want to go into a shelter that kills the vast majority of the animals....
Someone posted a message on a Facebook page that noted that there are about four million animals dying in "shelters" every year, and that about that same number of dogs are bred in puppy mills each year. Her point seemed to be that if we got rid of puppy mills, the killing could end. The post ended by saying, "number don't lie."
But this isn't about numbers. If it were, we would be a No Kill nation today, because there are many more people looking to bring an animal into their home, and undecided on where to obtain that animal and therefore could be persuaded to adopt, than there are animals killed.
Of course it is true that, without the pet store option, some people would turn to a pound to adopt an animal, and that could only help get more animals out of pounds. But even if no pet store ever again sold an animal, even if every puppy mill went out of business today, that would not come close to ending the killing. The "overpopulation" people have it backwards. Shutting down puppy mills will do little to end "shelter" killing; however if the "shelters" begin implementing the No Kill Equation, not only will the killing end (and we know this, because it is already happening in communities across the country), but, by diverting people to the shelters, it will also go a long way to shutting down the puppy mills.
Shirley Thistlethwaite in her "YesBiscuit!" blog has stated it beautifully. The title of one of her blog posts is "Directors of Pet Killing Facilities Keep Puppy Mills in Business." Think about that.
In the blog, she writes:
By killing approximately 3 million healthy/treatable shelter pets that an estimated 17 million people planning to get a new pet are open to adopting, shelter directors are driving those 17 million people to other sources....Killing health/treatable shelter pets ensures that puppy mills will continue to meet the demand for pets that shelters are not.
Sadly, though, people will continue to conflate puppy mills and pound killing as long as the myth of pet overpopulation continues to be pervasive. Because if pet overpopulation did exist, the logic would be sound. But as more and more people are able to step back from their tunnel vision and disengage themselves from the received wisdom of "pet overpopulation" that has been drilled into them for years, and finally open their minds to the proof in front of their eyes, No Kill communities will start springing up even faster than they are now, and at the same time, puppy mills will start falling like houses of cards.
*I speak of puppy mills, because that is where so much of the cruelty is being exposed. However, whenever, for convenience, I simply use the term "puppy mills," I am including the places that churn out kittens, rabbits, and other animals, all equally egregious.

A Solemn thing within the Soul
To feel itself get ripe --
And golden hang -- while farther up --
The Maker's Ladders stop --
And in the Orchard far below --
You hear a Being -- drop --
A Wonderful -- to feel the Sun
Still toiling at the Cheek
You thought was finished --
Cool of eye, and critical of Work --
He shifts the stem -- a little --
To give your Core -- a look --
But solemnest -- to know
Your chance in Harvest moves
A little nearer -- Every Sun
The Single -- to some lives.

"I can't think of a better way to celebrate Independence Day than being with the men and women of our armed forces. The band and I are always happy to hit the road with the USO. We love performing for troops, because their sacrifices make it possible for the rest of us to live our lives. They deserve so much more, and this is just one way for us to let them know we appreciate what they do." - Gary Sinise
Emmy Award-winning actor Gary Sinise and his 12-member band, the Lt. Dan Band, celebrated Independence Day with over 4,000 military families at an exclusive USO concert, sponsored by TriWest Health Care Alliance, at U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwoehr in Germany, July 4, 2010. Over the past seven years, Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band have entertained nearly 150,000 troops and military families in the U.S., Japan, South Korea and Afghanistan.
On Saturday, July 10, Sinise and band will travel to Italy to put on another USO show, also sponsored by TriWest, for troops and military families serving at NSA Naples. Can't make it to Italy? Then check out the Jonathan Flora documentary "Lt. Dan Band: For the Common Good," which chronicled the band's journey around the globe in support of U.S. troops. It's almost like being on the front row.
As always, we love having Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band on tour in support of our Troops. If you were there, let us know what you thought of the concert! And be sure to check out more pictures below…

Leaving Mighty For Mediocre? Tony Stewart To Make His MoveJuly 9, 2008
It is widely rumored that in 2009, two time Sprint Cup Champion Tony Stewart will leave the NASCAR powerhouse Joe Gibbs Racing for one of the cars of Haas Racing.
If one looks at the facts, leaving JGR makes little sense. Tony has earned two championships, 32 wins, and enjoys one of the most stable, consistent driver/crew chief relationships in NASCAR history. Stewart has been with Gibbs since his rookie season in 1999. Does Tony have no loyalty? Is he unhappy? Is HE CRAZY?
It all started last season when the rumors began that Joe Gibbs Racing would move from Chevrolet to Toyota. Stewart, a long time Chevrolet man, was quiet about the move—too quiet. So as 2008 moved along, the rumors surfaced that Tony Stewart was looking. But what was he looking for?
For all that Tony Stewart is, he is a competitor. If you read the headlines closely, you will find out that he is not just going to drive for Haas, he is becoming part owner.
Stewart Haas Racing will be the Tony Stewart we come to remember. As he finishes his career here—successfully I might add—he will take on the challenge of becoming one of the elite owners in NASCAR. His teams will grow to battle the Hendricks and Roush teams on into the middle of the 21st century.
Along with a much wanted reunion with Chevrolet, this move is more about the Tony of the future than the Tony of right now. While the move seems like a risky move for the driver, for Tony the owner, it makes all the sense in the world.

We investigated the genetic differentiation of five X-chromosome STR markers among five native South American Amerindian populations inhabiting three different areas of the Gran Chaco: Mocoví, Chorote, Wichí, Lengua, and Ayoreo. The observed genetic structure showed correspondence with geographic distribution more clearly than previous information obtained from autosomal STRs for the same samples. On the other hand, X-chromosome STR data did not agree with linguistic affinities. These markers proved to be informative for the study of the native populations of the Gran Chaco region.

The report, detailing the background of the project, research plan, progress to date, and future timeline, was approved by the MGC on December 3rd and submitted to the legislature on December 18th.
This first annual report offers a detailed summary of the SEIGMA team's plans for researching impacts in three different areas: social and health impacts; economic and fiscal impacts; and problem gambling services. It also includes a summary of the progress the team has made so far to fulfill the MGC's research agenda. Thus far, the MGC and the SEIGMA team have made significant progress in laying the groundwork for the wide scope of the research agenda. They have developed, pre-tested, and launched a general population survey and online panel, which was approved by the UMass Amherst Institutional Review Board. They have also created a detailed list of the range of measures that will be collected, tracked, monitored and presented over the course of the project. Throughout this process, they have collaborated and established agreements with agencies across the state, including the Massachusetts Council on Problem Gambling and the Massachusetts Department of Health and Human Services.
"The research currently being undertaken by SEIGMA is a significant step toward understanding negative or unintended impacts so we can strategically work toward mitigating them," says Mark Vander Linden, Director of Research and Problem Gambling at the MGC.
The findings from this project will be used in informing how funds from the Public Health Trust Fund and Community Mitigation Funds are expended. Both funds will be used to improve problem gambling services and advance the overall quality, effectiveness, and efficacy of prevention and treatment of gambling disorders. The study will all provide all Massachusetts stakeholders with data for strategic analysis and decision-making. A copy of the full report as well as an Executive Summary can be found here.
The SEIGMA project began in April 2013, when the MGC engaged a team based in the School of Public Health and Health Sciences (SPHHS) to undertake a comprehensive research project on the economic and social impacts of casino gambling in Massachusetts. The SEIGMA project is crucial to the MGC's legal requirement to establish a yearly research agenda and make scientifically-based recommendations to the Massachusetts legislature.

The capital of Oman is not a city itself rather is is a group of cities and towns which make up the 'Municipality of Muscat' or the 'Capital Area.' These towns and cities border the Gulf of Oman . Muscat is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East and it has been historically associated with the trade of frankincense and myrrh. The actual epicenter was an area the Greeks used to call 'Khouri Rouri' and it lies 500 miles south of Muscat near the city of Salalah.

Do the cops have to read me my Miranda Rights in Maryland after a DUI stop?
This is a common question that we get at Bruce Robinson and Associates, Maryland's DUI Law Firm. Lawyer T.V. shows tend to portray lawyers as having a glamorous job they misrepresent a few things about lawyers and the law. It works the same way with medical dramas. After a few episodes of E.R. I feel like I can diagnose any disease.
Often people have assumptions about the law because they saw something on T.V. Most people who haven't been living under a rock believe that the police have a legal obligation to read you your rights during an arrest. This can be correct depending on the type of case but it is also misleading. The origination of these rights stems from a landmark criminal case known as Miranda v. Arizona which involved kidnapping and armed robbery, among other crimes perpetuated by a laborer that was in and out of trouble his whole life. It had to do with a coerced confession without counsel- of defendant Ernesto Miranda.

DePaul 4, Northwestern
DePaul 4, Northwestern 3May 28, 2005
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Northwestern fought to the end, scoring runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings Saturday afternoon at Flames Field, but DePaul survived the Wildcats' late run to win the game, 4-3, and advance to the Women's College World Series.
Northwestern (42-18) closes its season with the second-best win total in school history. Only NU's 1987 team, which won 43 times, came out victorious more. The Wildcats are now 19-18 all-time in the NCAA Tournament.
DePaul improves to 45-19 with its win, and will face No. 1 seed Michigan in its first WCWS contest.
Senior Erin Mobley (Santa Ana, Calif./Foothill) concludes her career as Northwestern's all-time hits, runs and total bases leader. She ranks in the top-10 of 12 different offensive categories for NU.
In her final game, she was 0-for-1 with a sharp lineout, a walk and a sacrifice. She finished the season with a team-best 11 sacrifices.
DePaul put the games' first run on the board in the bottom of the first. Ashley Parker reached base on an error, then stole second with two outs. She scored on a two-out single to put the Blue Demons ahead, 1-0.
Both pitchers cruised into the fifth inning. The Wildcats mustered just two hits through the first four innings, while NU starter Eileen Canney (Paradise, Calif./Paradise) struck out the side in the second and also allowed just two hits through four.
Northwestern tied the game in the top of the fifth. Junior Kristen Amegin (Sacramento, Calif./Elk Grove) led off the inning with her second hit of the game, a long double off the wall in straight away center. Junior Ashley Crane (Sammamish, Wash./Eastlake) replace her on the base paths, then moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from junior Shelia McCorkle (Costa Mesa, Calif./Mater Dei).
Freshman Darcy Sengewald (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln Way East) drove Crane in with a two-strike single into left field to tie the score, 1-1.
Back-to-back singles from DePaul to lead off its half of the fifth led to Courtnay Foster (Tucson, Ariz./Sahuaro) entering the game in the circle in relief of Canney. The next batter drew a walk to load the bases, then two consecutive slap singles into center plated a pair to give the Blue Demons a two-run lead, 3-1.
With one out in the frame, Sandy Vojik hit a sacrifice fly to make the score 4-1 before Foster ended the inning.
Megan Huitink replaced Blue Demon starter Tracie Adix to begin the sixth inning.
The Wildcats cut down some of the DePaul lead in the top of the inning. Mobley drew a one-out walk, but was erased when sophomore Garland Cooper (Mission Viejo, Calif./Santa Margarita Catholic) grounded into a fielder's choice.
Junior Jamie Dotson (Santa Ana, Calif./Foothill) drove Cooper in all the way from first with a double down the left-field line, making the score 4-2.
With Northwestern trailing by two in its final at-bat, McCorkle led off the seventh with a single to left field. Sophomore Megan Hinck (Hawthorn Woods, Ill./Lake Zurich) stepped up and drove a pinch-hit double into right-center field to put runners on second and third with no outs. Freshman Kelly Odell (Portland, Ore./Westview) re-entered the game for Hinck on second.
Sengewald drove in McCorkle with an RBI groundout, and moved Odell to third to make the score 4-3. Sophomore Katie Logan (Tempe, Ariz./Corona del Sol) then laid down a nearly perfect bunt, but was thrown out by just a half step at first for out number two.
Freshman Stephanie Churchwell (Lake Forest, Calif./El Toro) came to the plate and hit a fly ball into left field that was caught to close the game.
Canney took the loss, dropping her season record to 19-10. Adix got the win to improve to 23-8, while Huitink's save was her sixth of the season.

Harvey intensifies to hurricane, likely a major Texas storm
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP - 8/24 3:00PM) — Tropical Storm Harvey intensified Thursday into a hurricane that forecasters said would be the first major hurricane to hit Texas in 12 years.
Sustained winds reached 80 mph (129 kph) more than a day before landfall was expected late Friday between Port O'Connor and Matagorda Bay, a 30-mile (48-kilometer) stretch of coastline about 70 miles (110 kilometers) northeast of Corpus Christi.
Forecasters said a "life-threatening" storm surge along with rains and wind were likely as Harvey was intensifying faster than previously forecast. A major hurricane means winds greater than 110 mph (177 kph).
As of midday Thursday, Harvey was about 340 miles (550 kilometers) southeast of Corpus Christi, moving to the north-northwest at about 10 mph (17 kph) .
Once Harvey makes landfall, it's possible the storm then could just stall inland for as many as three days, exacerbating the threat of flooding brought by tropical downpours, the National Hurricane Center said. Some forecasts indicated rain totals over several days extending into next week could exceed 24 inches (60 centimeters).
Harvey would be the first major hurricane to hit Texas since Rita in 2005.
Numerous cities were shipping in sandbags, extra water and other items ahead of the storm.
In Corpus Christi, dozens of people were waiting in line early Thursday at a local Sam's Club. Down the coast in South Padre Island, Dave Evans took advantage of the free sandbags, noting he and his fiancé live in an older house prone to flooding.
"The master bedroom floods every time the rain gets very strong. I think our home is below sea level," Evans told The Brownsville Herald.
Alex Garcia, of Corpus Christi, was buying bottled water, bread and other basics in Sugar Land, a Houston suburb, after dropping his daughter off at college in Houston.
He said grocery items likely were more available in Houston than back home, where Garcia, a beer distributor salesman, said stores were "crazy."
"We'll be selling lots of beer," he laughed.
Garcia's house is about 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the bay. While a seawall offers some protection, "It floods in Corpus all the time," he said.
"Harvey is looking like it's going to just meander around the area," National Weather Service meteorologist Penny Zabel said. "It's going to hang out for a few days, and that's why we're looking at such high rainfall amounts."
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered the State Operations Center to elevate its readiness level, making state resources available for possible rescue and recovery actions. Abbott also pre-emptively declared a state of disaster for 30 counties on or near the coast, to speed deployment of state resources to any areas affected.
Nearly all of the state's 367-mile (591 kilometer) coast was under a hurricane or tropical storm warning or watch as of Thursday.
UPDATE at 1 p.m.: While no mandatory evacuation is in place for Nueces County (Corpus Christi), the mayor urged residents to voluntarily evacuate, saying the area is up to and at the threshold of mandatory evacuations.
UPDATE at 12:15 p.m.: Mandatory evacuation ordered for Rockport, Port Lavaca, Port Aransas and Aransas Pass, along Gulf Coast. Several other coastal communities are also affected.
UPDATE at 12 p.m. on Thursday, August 24: Hurricane hunters say Harvey is now hurricane with 80 mph winds.

UPDATE at 12 p.m. on Thursday, August 24: The San Antonio EOC will hold a press conference to discuss preparations for Tropical Storm Harvey, which is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane and dump heavy rainfall across South and Southeast Texas.
UPDATE at 10 a.m. on Thursday, August 24th: National Hurricane Center expects Harvey to develop into a Category 3 hurricane by the time it makes landfall along Texas Gulf Coast.
San Antonio will go into under a Tropical Storm Warning on Friday (it was previously under a flash flood watch).

Harvey regains tropical storm strength in Gulf of Mexico
MIAMI (AP) — Harvey regained tropical storm strength as it drifted in the Gulf of Mexico toward Texas early Thursday and forecasters said it could become a hurricane.
A hurricane warning was issued for the Texas coast Thursday morning, covering an area from Port Mansfield to Matagorda.
The storm's maximum sustained winds had increased to near 45 mph (70 kph). The U.S. National Hurricane Center said additional strengthening was expected and Harvey could become a hurricane by Friday, when it's expected to approach the southern Texas coast.
As of 5 a.m. EDT, the storm was centered about 370 miles (595 kilometers) southeast of Port Mansfield and was moving north near 10 mph (17 kph).

Abbott also pre-emptively declared a state of disaster for 30 counties on or near the coast to speed deployment of state resources to any areas affected.
Emergency officials Wednesday asked residents along the upper Texas coastline to move or prepare to move inland. Those in low-lying areas were urged to seek higher ground, and those elsewhere were told to monitor official announcements closely.
A hurricane watch was in effect for Texas from Port Mansfield to San Luis Pass. A storm surge watch was in effect from Port Mansfield to High Island.
On South Padre Island, people filled sandbags and loaded them into cars and vans Wednesday to take to protect exposed homes and businesses. Others in the forecast path of the storm sought out generators, plywood and other goods from hardware stores. Meanwhile, rice farmers in coastal Matagorda County moved quickly to harvest their crops.
