Through fiscal year 2018, Mathematica offered fellowships to graduate students through the Disability Research Consortium, a cooperative agreement with the Social Security Administration. We have made all awards at this time. Information about the programs and recent fellows are below.
Beginning in fiscal year 2019, Mathematica has partnered with the Boston College Center for Retirement Research (CRR) on the Retirement and Disability Research Consortium (RDRC). CRR offers grants to young investigators and graduate students working on their dissertations. More information on these programs is available at http://crr.bc.edu/about-us/grant-programs/.
The summer fellowship program is an opportunity for students in master's programs or early in doctoral programs (pre-dissertation phase) to spend a summer at Mathematica's Washington, DC, office to learn more about conducting an independent research project related to disability policy.
The dissertation fellowship program offers financial support to students conducting their doctoral dissertation research on topics consistent with the DRC's mission. In contrast with the summer fellows program, dissertation fellows remain at their home institution, with financial support provided to continue cutting-edge dissertation research.

Old Trafford. Wednesday night. Over the last two decades the home of Manchester United football club has been the location for some stunning and memorable football matches involving an English club in Europe, and if David Moyes is serious about the longevity of his position of manager at this most famous of teams he will probably require another this Wednesday.
Known as the Theatre of Dreams, Old Trafford is arguably the place which English football fans would call the perfect setting for a huge evening of dramatic, atmospheric and exhilarating European football. It must be said that Anfield may have lay claim to that title in the past and it may do so again in the very near future. However, such has been the dominance of United since the formation of the Premier League; Champions League games have been almost as permanent as domestic league fixtures in the Red Devils calendar. Despite all of this, the past and future few days could see the end of any real challenge in both competitions, surprisingly early for United as we only now sit in mid-March.
United trail Greek triers Olympiakos 2-0 from a first leg that saw their performance described as woeful, inadequate, one-paced and directionless. Moyes himself agreed, saying of his overwhelming disappointment of not only the result, but perhaps more importantly the way that his charges played in what many suggested was one of the kinder draws that they could have received in the last 16 of the competition, avoiding teams like AC Milan and Galatasaray. There was no fight, no desire, no passion, and the league performances haven't proved to be much better. On Sunday old foes Liverpool rode into town, and after 90 minutes left Manchester with three points, three goals and more than three reasons as to why they are now without question challenging for the Premier League title. United, the current champions lest we forget, conversely sit an incredible twelve points behind fourth place and a further six behind current league leaders Chelsea, albeit with one game in hand. Never mind retaining the title, qualifying for the Champions League is now an almost impossible task. Winning the competition seems to be the easiest way to do that, and nobody in football can seriously see that happening.
It has been such a fall from grace that, almost inevitably, cracks are starting to appear within at this most famous of clubs. Moyes suggested in his pre-Olympiakos press conference that "this club does not work on short-term vision; it works on a long-term vision." Maybe so; certainly an unquestionable statement when concerned with previous manager Sir Alex Ferguson. However there now surely have been too many poor performances and poorer results to maintain the belief that Moyes will have the chance to stay for the duration of his six year contract. Following the Liverpool debacle United have won only six of their fourteen home league games this season, and have a goal difference of just +3 to show for it. This is not the Manchester United we know, certainly at Old Trafford. An unconfirmed fanzine report suggested that a senior player called Moyes 'clueless' after the Liverpool defeat and that wouldn't have happened in Ferguson's time. Captain Nemanja Vidic, sent off against Liverpool, will leave at the end of the season, and speculation surrounds Robin Van Persie, who was also said to be unhappy at some of the Scotsman's training methods.
Moyes publicly retains the support of Ferguson, Vice-chairman Ed Woodward, the Glazer family and the dressing room. Turning around the deficit against Olympiakos is vital to maintain such a standing, and he can expect a strong showing from the club's supporters at Old Trafford come 7.45pm on Wednesday. It is without doubt though that should they fail to progress to the quarter finals then the manager who was so successful at Everton may be facing his own Greek Tragedy, and be in serious risk of losing one of the most important jobs in world football before this most competitive of Premier League seasons is complete.

Open Letter to You. Because You Are Awesome.
(I couldn't let that vile ranting stay on top. Not when there are so many beautiful people in the world!)
My darling friends:
We may not see each other often, hell- we may not know each other in real life at all! But your lives are so important to me. Thank you for sharing them. I DO actually care about what you had for lunch, and I DO care about the funny things your kids say and do. Quite honestly. I am voraciously greedy and voyeuristic about you because I find each and every one of you absolutely fascinating. I think we could all be best friends, if only given the chance. You are all much funnier than I am, too. I'm jealous, but I deal with it because we are friends and I wish the best for my friends.
If I am seemingly stand-offish in real life, it's because I'm so painfully self-conscious. In my head, I am running up and giving you all big hugs and telling you how great you look today. Because you do- I'm not about to blow smoke up your asses. You are my friends, and my friends deserve the truth. You can't help it that the truth is that you are always so devastatingly gorgeous to me. But I hold back from displaying it in person because I don't want to embarrass you by being seen with me.
When you comment, it's like the heavens have opened and sunlight is pouring into my heart. It's glorious. And it's not because I'm an attention whore (maybe just a tiny bit). Instead, I think "Look! My friends! Who I adore and care about every day! They are caring about ME today! It's reciprocal!" Basically, when you comment I feel less like a stalker and more like a friend, which is all I want to be.
If you think even a word of this has been facetious, you are wrong. Nor is it a plea for more comments (though they are ALWAYS well appreciated, of course). No, I truly feel this way about each and every person I read every day. No matter how different we are, your life is special to me. I think you're wonderful.
You should think you're wonderful too. Go on- only the best for my friends!

Chameleons live in different climates around the world and can be found in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Madagascar. They spend their lives in the trees and their feet are specially adapted to help them grip and balance on branches with ease.
There are many types of chameleon available as pets and their appearance and colour vary greatly from green, brown and red. Some chameleons can change the colour of their skin, this is usually due to fear or aggression, or even to camouflage with their habitat for safety.
Some chameleons can live for around 10 years, so you must be sure you're ready for a long-term commitment. They are not generally social animals so they are best kept singularly.
Never release a pet (companion animal) into the wild. It is illegal and for most species, this will lead to an untimely and possibly lingering death, as they are not native to this country. Any animals or plants that do survive might be harmful to the environment. This includes the need to properly dispose of the soiled substrate so that eggs and live food can't escape into the wild.

• Diarrhoea: This can be caused by many problems including incorrect feeding or internal parasites.
• Mouth rot: Cheesy deposits appear in the mouth.
• Respiratory problems: Signs include fluid or mucus from the nose. This can be caused by too low temperatures or too high humidity.
• Metabolic bone diseases: Signs include deformed, swollen or paralysed hind limbs and/or spine. This can be due to a lack of calcium, vitamin D3 and/or lack of exposure to UVB/UVA light. It can be reversed if caught in time and properly treated.
If you are at all worried about the health of your chameleon you should consult your vet as soon as possible. It is recommended to seek a vet that has experience with reptiles.
Your pet should also be insured against unexpected veterinary cost.
A healthy chameleon will be bright, alert and active with its body and leg muscles appearing well-formed and strong with a tight grip. It should also have no signs of injury to the body and the eyes shouldn't be sunken.
A tall, escape-proof vivarium with good ventilation is the most suitable housing for a chameleon. As these reptiles spend the majority of their time in trees it is important that the vivarium is as tall as possible.
All reptiles are cold-blooded and need an external heat source to maintain their body temperature and each species of lizard requires different degrees of heating. One end of the vivarium should be heated to create a thermal gradient, allowing the pet to choose its preferred temperature. The ideal thermal gradient is 26-28°C at the cool end and 35-40°C at the hot end. Night temperature can be dropped to a minimum of 16-18°C, which will benefit your pet as this reflects his natural environment.
Background heat can be provided by using heat mats and more intense heat by spotlights or heat lamps. Your pet shop can advise on heating products that are suitable for your particular set-up.
Digital thermometers should be placed at each end to monitor the temperature range and the maximum temperature of the heat gradient should be controlled by a thermostat. You should fit wire mesh guards
overexposed heat sources to prevent thermal burns.
Chameleons are diurnal lizards and require high-intensity UVB and UVA lighting to fully absorb and utilise the calcium in their diet. This light should be left on for 12-14 hours in the day. The bulbs will need replacing
regularly as their UV output decreases with use.
Humidity is very important to your chameleon. A hygrometer will help you maintain an ideal humidity of around 70 percent. Spray the cage with water twice daily, especially leaves of plants, which allows your pet to
drink the droplets as it would in the wild.
The floor of the cage should be covered with a suitable substrate, which your pet shop can advise on. Sand can be used but it is recommended to feed from a height to prevent the animal ingesting too much sand whilst eating. Chameleons will only eat the sand if lacking in calcium so to prevent this ensure correct vivarium temperatures and supply an extra source of calcium.
It is highly important to provide plenty of artificial and/or real plants, branches (of differing widths) and leaves for your chameleon to climb, rest and hide in – your pet will rarely go on the floor of their habitat.
Remove droppings and any uneaten fresh food daily. Water bowls should be washed, dried and refilled regularly. Vivariums should be completely cleaned out and disinfected with a pet safe disinfectant on a regular basis. Soiled substrate should be disposed of and replaced daily through a spot-cleaning regime.
Chameleons are insectivores mostly feeding on live insects. Feeding should take place daily and you can offer crickets, locusts and giant mealworms. Waxworms should be fed sparingly as they have a high-fat content. When feeding crickets feed a few at a time if they are eaten readily feed a couple more. Remove any uneaten live food after around 30 minutes as they annoy chameleons by nipping at them during the night.
It is important to feed the live food a nutritious diet and water to ensure your pet is also receiving a balanced diet. This is also known as 'gut loading' the live food.
Some chameleons will eat plants, suitable fruit and vegetables to feed your pet include kale, dandelion, watercress, carrots, courgettes, parsley, apples, pears and berries (in limited quantities). Fruit and vegetables should be washed and dried before feeding and offered in bite-size pieces.
It is very important that live food should be dusted with a vitamin and calcium supplement on a regular basis; once or twice a week for non-breeding adults and all food for juveniles and egg-laying females. Failure to undertake such dietary supplementation may result in metabolic bone diseases and other such problems.
Chameleons may not recognise still water as drinkable, as in the wild they drink droplets of water suspended on leaves. Therefore, it is highly important to spray your pet's habitat with water at least twice daily. You
can also provide a shallow water bowl, which may encourage your pet to drink.
Regular handing will help you build a bond with your pet. Some species of chameleon do not like to be handled, whilst others may be content with handling. You should encourage your chameleon to walk onto your
hand, rather than trying to pick it up, as you may damage its feet if it has griped tightly onto a branch.
Reptiles can carry a form of Salmonella, which can be transferred to humans. Good hygiene and washing your hands after handling your chameleon should be sufficient to prevent any risk of infection.
The Animal Welfare Act 2006 means all pet owners have a legal dutyof care to their pets. Anyone who is cruel to an animal or is found notto be providing the five animal welfare needs, as listed below, can be fined and sent to prison.
The Five Animal Welfare needs:
1. Environment: Pets should be given the correct housing according to its size, this includes shelter, space to exercise and a secure, comfortable place to rest.
2. Diet: Pets should be offered the correct type and volume of food to cover all their nutritional needs alongside access to clean, fresh water.
3. Behaviour: All pets should be allowed to exhibit normal behaviour patterns and should be provided with the facilities to do so.
4. Company: Some animals require the company of their own kind, whilst others should be kept on their own.
5. Health: All animals should be protected from pain, suffering, injury, and disease, and given veterinary treatment if they become sick or injured.

To the editor: We are a government of, by, and for the people. It concerns me when I hear some talking about what is good for Dover, as if we homeowners are subjects of the City of Dover.
There are pluses and minuses of a TIF project and these points should be thoroughly discussed and understood before a vote is taken by our City Council. Bad weather kept the attendance low at the public hearing on the 19th of February.
Compounding that problem, the people that stayed at home that evening may have missed the live transmission and also missed part of the testimony. I discovered the next day that the TV streaming of the council hearing started with Chris Parker explaining his position on the TIF benefits to Dover. The testimony of both myself and Ted Anglace, who oppose the TIF, as well as the comments of all other speakers were then not available to the public.
There are two items of concern with one being that monies that should be allocated to the improvement of our worn out school buildings would be diverted to improving the downtown of Dover. Secondly, it was our concern that the total debt of the city would increase and our real estate taxes would go up in the short term.
Speculation is that in 5 or 10 years from now, Dover could be obtaining a higher amount of tax revenue from our commercial properties but at this point I believe it is just that — speculation.
The mayor is the one that sets the council agenda and I hope Mayor Weston will schedule another public hearing on this issue of the TIF so that there could be more public input.
In the spring of 2012. there were over 100 citizens that had the opportunity to testify on the override of the spending cap. They were provided with plenty of time to express their reasons.
In our current economic climate, what would be the negative impact, of putting off the council vote on the TIF by either a month or two or better yet to the fall and include it with the discussion of the CIP. At that time. we will have a better idea of how the economy is absorbing the costs and disruption in the business community.
It is important that everyone hear both sides of this issue and I thank you for considering this at this time.
David Scott
To the editor: Just a quick response to the previously published letter written by former Democrat State Rep. Rich DiPentima from Portsmouth, in which he repeatedly claims that legislation to expand background checks to include the private transfers of firearms between law-abiding residents of New Hampshire has the support of 90% of the population of New Hampshire.
A week before that misleading talking point filled the email in-boxes and Facebook pages of anti-gun rights activists everywhere, I received the phone call from the polling outfit cited therein.
The question I was asked was (and I paraphrase), "Do you support expanded background checks for gun purchases to keep guns out of the hands of violent criminals?". That's as loaded a question as you'll ever find. Talk about leading the witness! Note, they didn't ask, "Do you support laws that make it easier and more affordable for law-abiding women to defend themselves, so that they get raped less".
Who's going to answer no to that?
The only numbers that matters are the numbers on the tote board showing the votes of the representatives of the people of New Hampshire. Blame the evil "gun lobby" bogeyman all you want (and that's a lot apparently — NINE times in three paragraphs), but We the People have spoken. Now move on.
Bruce MacMahon
Former State Representative
To the editor: Thank you for publishing my letter in support of Michael Rollo for Rollinsford Select Board (Feb. 19). Despite the last sentence, I am not urging residents of Rollinsford to vote early. I do, however invite Rollinsford voters to join me at the polls on Tuesday, March 11.
Lorraine L. Hansen
To the editor: I am concerned that Dover City Councilors will make a snap decision before probing the downside of the TIF. What the TIF will do is expand the amount of debt and interest that we Dover homeowners pay. How much additional tax revenue will it generate and when?
I am afraid that some councilors believe TIF as found money. It is not. It is money borrowed by the City of Dover which we the property owners of the city of Dover must repay.
The TIF allows the city to borrow money based on Chris Parker's estimate of what the market price of the property in the TIF area will be 5 or 10 years. Who on the council believes the property values in the TIF area will be higher rather than lower than at present? If the property values remain constant or become lower where will the additional tax revenue come from to pay the debt service on the increased borrowing?
I was 5 years old when the depression started and it lasted for 9 years. Properties were seized by the banks and property values decreased. It wasn't until the start of World War II that the recession ended and property values started increasing.
Now the American economy is standing on the edge of depression. The economic situation is getting worse. Our nations total debt is enormous and growing. Employed people are being cut to 29 hours to avoid the costs of ObamaCare. That means less earned money in circulation. Retail sales are declining. Are we starting on another 9 year depression.
What businessman will purchase new property and hire staff in the present economic environment. If there are no buyers property values will not increase but will decrease.
Interest rates are currently as low as they have ever been. If interest rates go up property values go down. Which City Councilor believes interest rates will stay at their present low rate? Which councilor believes in 5 years the proposed TIF area property values will be higher than today? If higher how much higher? What is the return on investment?
Take time to understand the economics of the TIF. The TIF It is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It may turn out more like the waterfront disaster, or the McConnell Center disaster which was supposed to cost $2.5 million and ended up at $9 million
Jack Towle
To the editor: On Friday night, Feb. 21 I had the opportunity to attend a boy's high school basketball game at Somersworth High School between Tri-City Christian Academy and Bradford Christian Academy.
The two teams are members of the New hampshire Small Private School Athletic League. It is a league of small schools where the teams struggle to have enough players to fill out the roster and usually receive little fanfare for their labors. But I must say that this did not affect the excitement and level of competition on display.
The evening had a greater intensity because Tri-City was attempting to complete an undefeated season and Bradford fought valiantly to deny them this honor.
Both teams were well coached and displayed real skill in functioning as a unit and leaving all they had on the court. It had echoes of the excitement basketball junkies found in the great Hollywood classic Hoosiers years ago. In the end Tri-City prevailed and held up to the numerous runs Bradford made and accomplished their goal, an undefeated season.
The joy of the players, coach, student body, and supporters was a wonderful sight to behold and revealed the great value that team sports can bring to a community. I commend both schools for their effort and their level of sportsmanship and skill.
In a time when discouraging things can dominate the news cycle and the challenges of a long winter can be overwhelming, genuine joy and accomplishment is a great elixir. I think all those in attendance left the gymnasium uplifted by what they experienced, again due in large part to the wonderful work of the two coaches who led their teams into battle.

Psychoanalysts claim that our behavior is automatic because our mind is "10% conscious and 90% unconscious." Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss founder of analytic psychology, emphasized the role of the "unconscious" even more than psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud. He wrote the book "Psychology of the Unconscious." Dr. Jung's theory of the unconscious explains types of personality such as either introverted or extroverted by looking at the development of 4 functions: sensing, thinking, intuiting, and feeling. One of the most popular personality tests today used in diagnosis and therapy, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is based on Dr. Jung's theory.
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2)

Controversial plans for a "superhighway" of up to seven lanes in north Wales have been abandoned, it was announced today.
A public inquiry was held in the autumn following an outcry from people living near the A494 in Flintshire.
Today Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones said he accepted the recommendation of an inspector not to widen the two-and-a-half mile stretch of road from Ewloe to Drome Corner.
Going ahead with the plans, which prompted about 2,300 objections, would have meant rehousing some people living nearby.
Mr Jones said the size of the scheme would have had a "significant impact" on the landscape and would affect cycling and walking routes.
But he suggested new plans could be brought forward to improve the flow of traffic in the area and speed up transport between north Wales and north-west England.
Mr Jones, who is responsible for the economy and transport in the coalition government, said: "I have also noted his (the inspector's) remarks that while he considers that this section of the A494 will need some form of improvement in the foreseeable future he considers that the scale of the scheme as originally proposed is greater than required."
Tory AM Brynle Williams said: "I welcome the decision to abandon this plan but also recognise that something must be done to alleviate traffic problems in the area.
"Abandoning this superhighway was the right thing to do. It is something many people have called on the government to do for some time."
The decision, five months after the inquiry hearings, will delight residents who organised a determined campaign against the construction scheme which they feared would blight their lives and properties with noise and pollution.
Up to 50 homes have been earmarked for demolition to make way for the new highway to be built by McAlpines on the main route between North Wales, Merseyside and the M56.
Residents in Aston Mead and Hillfield Road, alongside the A494, have already been forced to move out to make way for the road. But it is understood the level of public opposition to the impact of the scheme on the local environment was a key factor in the rejection of the proposed orders.
The Assembly Government had argued that the new 2.5-mile road between St David's Park, Ewloe, and the River Dee, was justified because traffic was had grown beyond well in excess of the recommended maximum volume.
An average daily flow of 62,000 vehicles use the dual carriageway. More than three quarters of the traffic (77%) entering Wales at Deeside has a destination beyond Northop on the A55.
During holidays extra traffic to and from North Wales causes further congestion and delay.
The scheme had been seen as a vital link in upgrading the A55 and A494/A550 to make a non-stop trans-European highway, removing bottlenecks between North Wales and the motorway network in England.
The plan was to widen the existing two-lane dual carriageway to three and four lanes, building new bridges and closing the local access roads.
The aim was also to improve road safety with promises that the road would be screened from nearby housing wherever possible by landscape mounds and noise barriers.
But Aston councillor George Hardcastle, chairman of campaign group the Coalition Committee, said: "We don't want the road full stop. That's our aim."
Now it is expected that the protesters will have their wish although highways planners will have to rethink other potential measures that may be needed to cope with the expected future growth in traffic congestion.
Alyn and Deeside AM Carl Sargeant had called on the transport minister to intervene, and warned: "For the local residents who will be affected by the scheme, the only decision can be to say 'no' to the proposals."
Work had been due to start on the road improvements in spring 2007 and take around 30 months to complete until it was set back by the demand for a public inquiry.

Vastavam web: North Korea said on Sunday its intention to denuclearise, unveiled at a historic inter-Korean summit, was not the result of U.S.-led sanctions and pressure, warning the United States not to mislead public opinion.Impoverished North Korea has been hit by a series of U.N. and U.S. sanctions in recent years in a bid to rein in its nuclear and missile programmes.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in vowed "complete denuclearisation" of the Korean peninsula in the first inter-Korean summit in more than a decade on April 27, but the declaration did not include concrete steps to reach that goal.The United States should not "deliberately provoke" the North by moving to deploy strategic assets in South Korea and raising human rights issues, KCNA said, citing a foreign ministry spokesman.
"This act cannot be construed otherwise than a dangerous attempt to ruin the hardly-won atmosphere of dialogue and bring the situation back to square one," the spokesman was quoted as saying.U.S. President Donald Trump, who plans to meet Kim over the next few weeks, has said he will maintain sanctions and pressure on the North and "not repeat the mistakes of past administrations" and has said his tough stance had led to the breakthrough.
Trump told the National Rifle Association's annual convention in Dallas on Friday that he had toned down his rhetoric in anticipation of the talks after labelling Kim "Little Rocket Man" last year and threatening him with "fire and fury".The White House said that Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, met his South Korean counterpart, Chung Eui-yong, on Friday and both said there were no plans to change the U.S.–South Korea bilateral defence posture.

At 3:56 am my alarm goes off. Seriously. F*** the trainer. Again. Ugh. Immediately, a list of absurd excuses race through my head: "It's too early; I can always hop on it after work and my swim tonight; I don't know where my shoes are; My Ipad battery is dead; My speaker is dead; It's too cold; It's too hot; My water bottle has old water in it; It can wait until tomorrow." Finally, after much internal bickering, I convince myself to man up and get out of bed and hit the bike. With one foot on the pedal, my son wakes up and cries for me…awesome. Saved.
The bike has never been my favorite part of a triathlon. I find it redundant and boring. Many people enjoy this time to refuel, rehydrate and cruise. I hate it. Joe Friel described a triathlon as "a bike race with a swim warm-up and a jog to the finish." When you think about it I guess he has a point, with more than half the time you have to complete an Ironman spent on this fancy combination of carbon and aluminum.
I hate the trainer. I despise it so much I would go so far as to say I consider it one of my worst enemies. I am pretty sure there is nothing more mind-numbing in this world than bouncing up and down (insert dirty mind visual) at varying speeds staring at the same TV screen for an hour or more. I will find any excuse to skip it, but with the majority of your time during a triathlon spent on the bike, I am sure that there is some value in the thing other than a cheap thrill.
The trainer does have some benefit in my social life--I recently have developed a relationship with the neighborhood squirrel. We have now met on three separate occasions. Now I hate squirrels, I find them to be rats of the suburbs, just mildly cuter…but not much. This particular squirrel knows it and mocks me every chance he gets. He reads my mind and knows I am in my version of Hell while on this thing. This demonic rodent struts by me, then walks up to my porch and steals a gourd (which have yet to see the trash now that we are fully into the winter). He then scurries back across the yard, but not before glancing at me with a smug "ha ha you are on the trainer and I stole another gourd" look on his face. Thief.
That squirrel knows. He knows the only thing that keeps me going on the trainer is the guilty pleasure I find in watching reruns of Orange is the New Black. I can watch that show for hours. My friends recommend watching past Ironman World Championships--I cannot handle that. If I wanted to watch a race I would go. Plus, you already know who wins. I, on the other hand, prefer to watch the soft-core porn Netflix offers.
However you choose to occupy your mind on the dreadful trainer, it does serve its purpose. Riding 112 miles without hitting the trainer is rough--not impossible, but rough. Take it from me, I know. Friel was right. It is a bike race, but, short of moving to a warmer climate, there has got to be a better way to get off on cycling…perhaps looking at pictures of Jesse Thomas and Matt Lieto in the 2015 "Men of Triathlon" calendar will help!

Three members of the YSS Committee – David, Simon and Elizabeth – attended the Parliamentary Links Day on Tuesday 25th June on Science and Diversity. The day was hosted by Dr Julian Huppert MP, Andrew Miller MP and Stephen Metcalfe MP representing the three main political parties, highlighting the across-the-board understanding of the importance of Science.
Representatives from the many learned societies were present and formed panels that gave their views and took questions on aspects of diversity within Science. Shabana Mahmood MP spoke as the Shadow Minister for the Universities and Science, highlighting the poor retention rates of both women and BME groups in Science.
The session was concluded by the Rt Hon David Willetts MP, the Minister for Universities and Science giving his view of the importance of focusing on diversity within science, highlighted by the poor current statistics he quoted.
Elizabeth then attended lunch at the House of Lords with Hetan Shah and John Pullinger where many representatives from learned Societies praised the work of the YSS.

"Forgiveness brings inner peace. Do we have a deal?" Melissa
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." Mahatma Gandhi
"Forgiving is not forgetting. It's letting go of the hurt." Kathy
We always hear how difficult it is to say the words, "I am sorry." I would agree that admitting blame of any kind takes courage and strength. No one should question how tough it is to do. Most of us perhaps never forgive every one of every perceived wrong-doing towards us. It likely is human nature to hold onto a grudge. With time one sometimes manages to come forth and ask for repentance.
The person who has been injured at one time or another may wonder why the one at fault doesn't appear to be contrite right after the incident. They may also question how little the transgressor thought about what they had done. Most of the reviewing at least in the beginning of a conflict, appears to come from the person that got hurt. Perhaps the pain reaches the heart and soul a lot quicker and leads one to reflect on the reasons a bit more. Continue reading

Best Sunscreen Lotion - Protects with Safe Ingredients

Best Sunscreen Lotion - Protects with Safe Ingredients
The best sunscreen lotion protects your skin using safe ingredients so you can feel good about what you are putting on your skin and your family's skin.
As a registered nurse, I knew that many of the ingredients in today's sunscreen were not good for you - whatever that means. Little did I know that while I was protecting my skin from UVA and UVB rays, I was exposing my body to carcinogens, allergens and hormone disrupters.
Your skin is your largest organ and what you put on it is just as important as what you put in it.
Did you know that some sunscreen ingredients can actually promote aging and skin tumors? Other's can contribute to eczema, irritate the skin, and add to your body's toxic burden. Children and teens are especially vulnerable to the effects of even small amounts of hormone disrupting chemicals.

All of those meetings in LA last week, and still no one is calling.
The "hurry up and wait" is the worst part of this business.
I have to remember that sometimes success is not linear. Sometimes success comes after years of preparation and often times when you least expect it.
When I left my job, at one of the big networks back in 2000, one of my bosses said to me, "Why would you ever leave a broadcast network to go to a cable channel? They don't even have any shows on the air." I responded by saying, "If I put just one successful show on the air, I will be a hero. If I fail, I will be out of a job in two years and no one will remember I was ever there."
At that time, basic cable (USA, TNT, Lifetime, FX, etc.) were not remotely competitors to broadcast television (ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX), which was still king.
When I went to head up Scripted Programming at that cable channel, I took only one script with me. A script that we were unable to find the right lead actor for. I was betting that my old network would eventually give up on the script. Two years later, my new cable channel acquired the script and turned it into a series. That series broke all kinds of records for basic cable. It was a huge hit and ran for several seasons.
The following year that lead actor was nominated for an Emmy. The cable channel had never been nominated for an Emmy in such a prestigious category. It was a big deal.
While I had been to the Emmys a number of times, this was the first time I was going alone. I was going through a divorce, so I was not offered a "plus 1" ticket. My bosses were married, so they brought their wives and sat together in the same row. I was in a separate row in a completely different part of the auditorium. Sitting alone.
As I have mentioned, award shows are stressful enough. You start getting ready (hair, makeup, manicure, pedicure, the right dress, the right shoes, the right purse) hours before you go to the actual event. Then you have to leave at least two hours early because of traffic. It is truly an all day and all night event.
But dressing up in black tie attire and driving yourself in bumper-to-bumper traffic is another level of stress. My "best friend," who worked for another network, had offered to take me in her limo, but then changed her mind at the last minute, so I had to drive myself.
I arrived by myself. Sat by myself. Feeling quite out of place and alone.
When they announced our star had won, we all jumped up. He went on stage to give his speech and then I heard MY name. He was giving a special thanks to me.
As I exited the auditorium, dozens of people were congratulating me on my "shoutout." For a moment, I was famous too. My "best friend" called me and said, "If I had known that you were going to win the Emmy, we would have taken you in our limo." (Yeah. I thought that was tacky too.)
The "shoutout" probably did more for my career than all the years that preceded it. Success is not always linear and sometimes it happens when you least expect it. I had told my former boss, at that broadcast network, I only needed one hit. I finally had one. Ironically it was because they passed on the script that enabled us to make it as a hit show and win our very first Emmy!
So as I wait to sell my first project, I have to remember that it took almost three years for that first hit to come, when I made my big move from broadcast to cable 16 years ago.
But today the phone is not ringing and my projects are not selling, so I am feeling very much alone in that single seat in the metaphoric auditorium of Hollywood.

I put off my nightly blogging duties for a few hours to catch up on the really important things in life. You know, things like Jersey Shore and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (aka RHOBH).
So what does RHOBH have to do with being a girl's girl? Or maybe you are wondering, what exactly is a girl's girl? If you are a girl and this is your question, you likely are not one. First of all, a girl's girl is NOT a man-hater. It is not even a requirement that you dislike sports, beef jerky, or urinating outdoors.
Here let us consider Camille Grammer of RHOBH. From the limited TV time I've spent with her, it is clear she is a classic example of someone who IS NOT a girl's girl. Honestly, it is not jealousy that stirs me when I'm watching Camille acting all sexy and cat-like while she paddle-surfs. My general feelings toward her are not unfavorable. Rather, it is true concern that I feel as she speaks of the support she is missing in her life. She says that she lacks the support of a husband, true friends, and close family. That almost makes me feel sorry for her. Truly, my main worry as a kind-hearted viewer watching from home is related to her support system. Seriously. Have you seen the size of her boobs in comparison to the rest of her body? My honest concern for her is the "support" she must need simply trying to keep her body upright!
On the other hand, a girl's girl truly appreciates and loves her girlfriends. Her gut reaction toward other women is not that of jealousy or competition. When a girl's girl meets a new girl at a party or event, she is genuinely willing to start a friendship or acquaintance. She is not mean to the "new girl" simply because she can be (Kyle Richards, anyone?)…Since this cast doesn't have much to choose from, so far my only hope for a true girl's-girl on this season of RHOBH is Adrienne Maloof (please don't prove me wrong, girl!).
In closing, please remember- Being a girl's girl does not mean you are never bitchy toward other girls. It's just that you reserve those bitchy actions for girls who truly deserve it. You know, girls like Camille Bitch-Hammer. Whoops! I mean Camille Grammer.

Hello Dwellers and Welcome To The Basement...
So days after being intrigued by what was going out in Iowa, Pat Toomey got on my radar... obviously being close to Pennsylvanian, I sorta of have a front row seat to see how he's perceived... and there is a lot of concern from what I can tell even from those within his political party.
Granted that a good deal of that concern comes from him publicly stated he'd back the Republican President Candidate Donald Trump, but his rather odd out views in regards to things like gun control and Planned Parenthood, as well as catering to the western half of the site with the coal mines puts him at odds with the eastern half of the stated. Sure he's in the Senate and doesn't deal directly with these issues in the Keystone State... which is amazing considering he started his run as a career politician up in the Lehigh Valley.
Now sure, many residents of the state consider the man to be out of touch, ineffective and all the usual jazz associated with guys in political office for more than two terms... but the problem is that the person running against him is Katie McGinty... and no one seems to know who she is! Sure she has run for office, and held a few positions, but for whatever reason she is flying under the radar and some of the polls I've come across is clearly showing that.
Which brings me to the trouble of the two-party politics in general: It's too easy for someone to stay in office when their opposition, unless a career politician, has a zero chance of winning... sure that's not a guarantee, but in my life time, a lot of the same faces have served multiple terms unless someone new is able to really shake up the status quo... and I don't think that's gonna happen in terms of his particular senate race in Pennsylvania.

The ocean comprises 99% of the habitable space on Earth and yet we have only explored about 5% of it. Ocean Protection Advocacy Kids, Inc. (OPAK) wants to open up the un-explored 95% by getting kids to become curious about their local environments.
All of our actions, as humans, directly impact the oceans in some way.
However, we, as humans, seldom look into this fact.
OPAK is striving to get students to be interested in protecting the oceans by advocating for their local ecosystems. For example, on Cape Cod we want kids to be aware of their watersheds and the local estuaries that they impact. OPAK teaches the need to protect our oceans through a science-based education that simultaneously stresses the need for a strong background in advocacy taught through the arts.
We get kids to be hands on learners through experiments in the field and by creating music and art in the classroom. Music and the arts are natural ways for children to express themselves which provides a strong foundation for environmental advocacy. We strongly believe that all students should have the great fortune to enjoy and then advocate for nature because everyone has the ability to speak up for their environment, no matter their background!
This summer OPAK is going to launch its first summer program and we want this adventure to be on Cape Cod.
Last summer our directors were part of The Global Warming Express Program at Pleasant Bay Community Boating and they got to see first-hand that not all of the Cape Community is aware of the challenges the Cape environment faces.
We know that the OPAK mission can get kids to change this by providing them the tools to stand up and protect the ocean! The summer 2017 program will be from July 17th-August 11th(Monday-Friday) from 9am-2:30pm at the Old Harwich Middle School.
Each week will have its own theme based on a marine topic and will include at least two field trips, as well as, talks from local scientists. The week's themes are: Water Quality and Plankton, Estuaries and Crustaceans, Marine Megafauna, and Marine Debris and Clean Energy.
Please visit our website: www.opakedu.org/programsfor details on what will be covered during each week! Spots are filling fast, so please sign up quickly if you are interested. For any questions, please contact Jeffrey Morgan at email@example.com.

I've been agonizing over not knowing when The Ideal Cut would be released in the Goodreads M/M Romance Group summer Love Has No Boundaries event, and last week the edits turned up! Hooray! So it's probably still a few weeks out, but it gave me the kick in the pants to talk to my cover artist, S. Z. Warren. She threw this bad boy together for me in a matter of days, because she is amazing:
I am over the moon! It's a free goddamn story, and it's got the best cover I've ever had! I love it. I can't stand it.
Here, have an excerpt:
Clayton stood his ground. "What are you doing with my diamond?"
"Your diamond?" Theo looked taken aback. "What— oh, hell no." He looked down at the diamond in his hand and then quickly shoved it into his pocket. "Don't tell me Camilla hired you."
It was Clayton's turn to be surprised (again). "You mean she hired you?"
"Hey, pal," Theo said, pointing a finger at the middle of Clayton's chest. "I'm good at what I do."
"Which is what, exactly?" Clayton asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "Getting caught stealing priceless family jewels?"
Theo narrowed his eyes and took a step towards Clayton. Clayton swallowed hard, suddenly unsure of whether he was angry or turned on right now, whether he should feel threatened or aroused. The latter option was winning.
"Oh," Theo said, dropping his voice, "because 'Jeff from Annual Giving' was such a good cover story. Come on, man. Maybe that can fool the plebs down there throwing money at each other, but a real confidence man can smell a fake ID from a mile away."
"Did you just say 'confidence man'?" Clayton asked. "You sound ridiculous. I'm calling security." It wasn't the classy thing to do, but he needed to get out of here and fast. This job was smoked.
"How are you going to explain what you were doing up here in the first place?" Theo was advancing on him. "You just said your diamond, and I know for a fact you're not Sylvia Docker or any of her nearest relations. Camilla hired you, just like she hired me, to get this job done. The question now is why."
"What did she tell you?" Clayton demanded.
"What did she tell you?"
They glared at each other for a long moment. Clayton's heart was thundering in his chest. His diamond, his job, his multi-million dollar heist— they were all in this guy's hands. There was nothing he could do.
"Motherfucker," he said eventually, which was not an answer to anything.
"I should have known you'd have a dirty mouth," Theo said with a smirk.
"Okay, look," Clayton started, but Theo held up a hand before he could say anything else.
"Wait," he said, voice dropped to a whisper. "Did you hear that?"
Clayton knew better than to ask, Hear what? He held his breath and listened. The door behind him was ajar, and through it he could hear the sound of the party going on downstairs. But on top of that, there was the distinct sound of someone coming up the staircase. The footsteps were sure; not the drunken wandering of a party guest, but the deliberate stride of a security guard. They had wasted a lot of time being indignant. Rookie mistake.
"Through there," he said, pointing to a door behind Theo. They had to get out of this room fast, but with the diamond in Theo's pocket, Clayton wasn't going to let him out of his sight.
Theo obeyed, darting across the room and opening the door. "A closet?" he hissed.
"Fuck," Clayton said, "it's the one on that side— just get in!" He hustled Theo into the tiny linen cupboard— not what he'd been hoping for— and closed the door behind them. There was barely enough room for the both of them. Theo was crowded up against Clayton in the darkness, chest to chest, his broad body firm in all the right places. He smelled warm and spicy. Clayton sucked in a breath through his teeth, cursing himself.
"Maybe I was wrong," Theo whispered in his ear. "If this is how you do all your heists, you definitely should get the job."
"Shut up," Clayton hissed, feeling himself flush with an embarrassed, angry sort of heat. "This is thanks to your interference. I'd be out of here by now."
"If you'd picked the right door," Theo said, so Clayton punched him.

It is proved by the fact that, Firstly, distributors have broad experience and knowledge of the market. That's the reason why, they have a substantial potential that is very helpful in making a product of a relatively unknown company be farther accessible. Besides, we need to also remember that distributing requires many miscellaneous skills such as negotiating and thinking in the long-term, which also is connected with a necessity of running a distribution department in our company.
In the light of the points mentioned above, as we may discover the history of progress of different innovations in logistics, we may instantly observe that the trends improve pretty instantly. Hence, we are recommended to not forget that introducing Direct Store Delivery sooner than our competitors is likely to be a great move for the future and help us gain satisfactory market share pretty rapidly.

As my consulting work in the entertainment and intelligence business is finally getting appreciated and one of my more important clients is finally starting to pay for results, I am seriously considering switching to a more relaxing form of transportation like the Boeing Business Jet. It looks a bit bulky, but in the long run I think it's quite a cost effective option. Have any of the editors here considered the bbj or are you sticking to the gulfstream?

New Music: Two Steps on the Water "A Little Bit Scared"
I've known Two Steps on the Water for years now and seeing their progression from being relatively unknown to an act that sells out venues in Melbourne and melts every heart they come across has been nothing short of wonderful. With every release they seem to get stronger and stronger, and the new video for A Little Bit Scared truly reaches a whole new level. June has absolutely mastered her voice in the way that she intimately creaks with frailty yet still hits every note, all too heartbreaking as she asks "will I still be beautiful, even when I leave your sight?" These scenes are unsettlingly familiar to me, as someone whose mood is often so easily swayed by the harsh Melbourne winter, seeking comfort and nostalgia for warm love and double denim. Put together by Emmett Aldred, Amy Dellar and the band, the clip is awash with pink, soft tones as backdrop to the kind of scenes that help us survive the physical and emotional winter chill.

Another week, another update. The last update of April. Because April is ending soon. This time, we have a few new things! First and foremost are new enchantments and catalysts for them. Every dungeon boss, except the Bandit Leader, now has a unique enchantment type associated with it. That enchantment type cannot be found anywhere else in the game, except by items dropped from that boss, or as catalysts that they drop. The higher level the boss, the higher the chance for the catalyst to drop, as well.
Secondly, the Spatial dungeon boss has gotten a revamp; he has a few new moves that gives him his own identity instead of just being a Jammer Omega clone. You can fight him and all the other bosses in static dungeons now, as well; up to one boss monster will spawn in the static dungeons at a time, and while they don't drop cores, they do drop the new catalysts. Bosses have received an adjustment to the amount of bonus HP they receive; it's less when you're by yourself but more when you're in a full party. Some monsters have also received increased RES gain of varying degrees; we'll see how this shakes out.
New Enchantments - 9 new enchantments have been added.
- Includes 9 new catalyst items that drop from dungeon bosses (excluding Bandit Leaders).
- Some of these enchantments can enchant multiple equipment types.
- All of these enchantments are exclusive to a specific boss and cannot be generated except by them.
Spatial Boss Revamp - The Spatial Ravager has received several new skills and mechanics, replacing the old version of the boss for a more interesting one.
Roaming Bosses - Bosses can now roam around in static dungeons.
- Bosses in static dungeons do not drop cores, but can drop the new catalyst items exclusive to them.
Adjusted - Wings of Fire's Immolate has been changed; it now deals less damage than before, but has a chance to burn the target, and deals more damage than before if the target is burned.
Adjusted - The following monsters have had these changes made to their growths. This change is intended to make them more resistant to magic, to different degrees depending on the monster.;
- Spatial Corruptor - Reduced VIT growth by 50%. Increased RES growth by 110%. (No that isn't a typo.)
- Barghest - Increased RES growth by 50%.
- Spectre - Increased RES growth by 20%.
- Wings of Fire - Increased RES growth by 30%.
- Goblin Shaman - Increased RES growth by 30%.
- Vorpal Rabbit - Increased RES growth by 20%.
- Ocean Races - Increased RES growth by 10%.
Adjusted - Revive has received some adjustments to prevent stalemate/immortality scenarios, or at least make them less common.
- Going from 0 HP to a positive HP amount counts as being 'revived'.
- When you are revived, you lose 3 Momentum, as if you had been knocked down. (Skills that ignore knockdown or reduce its Momentum penalty do not take effect; it was just an example.)
- When you are revived, you gain a status called Badly Beaten for 4 rounds, with a starting LV of 1. Badly Beaten causes the Momentum you receive from a new round starting to be reduced by its LV. If you are revived and are already suffering from Badly Beaten, the duration is extended by 4 rounds, and the LV is increased by 1. (Note that status effect duration is reduced even during turns you are incapacitated, so if you get revived, then knocked out again, and 4 turns later you get revived, you will get a 'fresh' Badly Beaten, not a powered-up version.)
Adjusted - Boss bonus HP formula has changed from a flat 50% to 5% + 20% for each party member (including yourself. I.E., 25% solo, 85% with a full party of 4.)
Adjusted - Stalemate and Riposte can no longer trigger from attacks made directly behind your character.
Adjusted - Made enchantment catalysts dynamically load the effect of the enchantment when the item description is viewed. (You won't notice much difference, but it saves me a lot of work.)
Adjusted - Made the enchant altar's enchantment description box taller to better fit some of the new enchantments.
Adjusted - Dungeon fountains are no longer dense to prevent narrow hallways from being blocked by them.
Adjusted - Monster skill Demon Translation now increases all stats by 10%, gives +2 Move, and reduces all incoming damage by 20%.
Adjusted - Deleted the old quest log interface from the skin file.
* Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where Eternal Darkness was not reseting the duration of the target's Blind to 2.
- Fixed a bug where the quest log page turners would not show up.
- Fixed a bug where Nosu was forgetting to take his quest item from you after finishing his quest.
- Fixed a bug where Sidecut could put you into bushes.
- Fixed a bug where pull effects could set your character's facing direction to a diagonal direction instead of the nearest cardinal direction.
- Fixed a bug where battles initiated on the overworld would cause in-battle sprites to be scaled down.
- Fixed a bug where Youkai sometimes wouldn't face the target they were attacking or using skills on.
- Fixed a bug where prison benches in castle dungeons could spawn when the room was too thin, causing the door to be blocked by it.
- Fixed a bug where multiple people attempting to interact with a chest could cause issues. (Only one person can be interacting with a chest at a time now.)
- Fixed a bug where Firthrower's attack pattern was incorrect.
- Fixed a bug where Adol's vocabulary did not contain delivery, preventing the completion of a certain quest added in the last update.
- Fixed a bug where Ritual Sword was not summoning your Bonded Youkai next to you unless it was already summoned.
- Fixed a bug where Aliagmato could put you outside of the battlefield or inside of invalid tiles.
- Fixed an issue where emoticon bubbles were appearing behind furniture.

I love the modesty and unchanging presence of the Satyananda Yoga Centre (SYC), set amid the ever-growing wealth of its surroundings. It's a special place.

Jamyang – a London haven with a terrific history
As soon as I caught sight of Jamyang Buddhist Centre in London I knew it was a place I wanted to spend some time in and - to be honest - have a good look around. It has an intriguing, quirky history. Jamyang was originally a Police Court (then Magistrates Court) in Victorian times and hosted the appearance of some extremely high-profile…Read more
Haramaki: warmth and strength from the core

Surging UC Irvine reached double-figure runs for the third straight game, logging a 10-4 victory over UC Riverside on Friday night at UCR. The win was UCI's 11th straight, surpassing a 10-win streak in 2014 as the longest win streak in the "second era" of Anteater Baseball.
Keston Hiura (2 for 5, double, two RBI), Mitchell Holland (2 for 5, double, two RBI, two runs scored) and Cameron Bishop (1 for 4, double, two RBI) drove in multiple runs. Jerry McClanahan went 2 for 3 with a double and two runs scored.
Matt Esparza (6-1) pitched seven innings, allowing four runs and eight hits while striking out four. Bishop left his post in right field to relieve Esparza in the eighth and struck out two. Sean Sparling struck out two in a scoreless ninth to end the game and give UCI (17-10, 5-0 Big West) its 14th win in its last 15 games.
UCR (10-21, 0-5) scored twice in the third inning as Joe Chavez, who was 3 for 4, singled in Henderson from second and then plated a run on a wild pitch by Esparza. Vince Fernandez added a run in the fourth, hitting a two-out home run to right field.
CS Fullerton 2, Cal Poly (SLO) 1: The Titans took advantage of two Cal Poly errors in the sixth inning, scoring an unearned run to snap a 1-1 tie, and they held on to even the Big West Conference series at Goodwin Field.
An error in center field and another on a potential inning-ending double play ball extended the inning for Fullerton (15-14, 3-2) and designated hitter Jake Jefferies pushed across the go-ahead run with a grounder.
Junior right-hander Justin Garza (2-2) earned the win, allowing one run and seven hits over 72/3 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts. Closer Tyler Peitzmeyer earned his 10th save by securing the final four outs.
Cal Poly (10-17, 1-1) stranded runners at second and third in the seventh, first and second in the eighth and junior first baseman Ryan Drobny was thrown out at second base trying to stretch a leadoff single into a double in the ninth.
Cal Poly freshman left-hander Kyle Smith (2-5) pitched well enough to win most games, allowing two runs (one earned) and five hits in eight innings with seven strikeouts and no walks.
Long Beach State 1, CS Northridge 0: For the second week in a row, a Long Beach State pitcher took the ball on a Friday night and delivered a two-hit shutout, but this time it was Tanner Brown who won a pitchers' duel. Last week it was ace Kyle Friedrichs (San Clemente High) who shined, but Brown matched his two-hitter with seven strikeouts and just one walk. He picked a runner off at second base to end the game and help the 49ers (16-10, 3-2) clinch the series win at Blair Field.
Just five CSU hitters reached base safely, two of them were erased on the basepaths and none reached third. Nolan Bumstead's fourth-inning single was the last hit of the night for CSUN (20-10, 1-4), and he was erased on an inning-ending ground ball.
CSUN starter Jerry Keel went pitch-for-pitch with Brown, allowing just two hits, neither of which left the infield. Keel did not issue any walks – only three Long Beach hitters reached safely, including an error that put Eric Hutting on first in the eighth.
The 49ers made the most of their first baserunner of the night. Garrett Hampson pushed a bunt to the right side for a single. A charging Ryan Raslowsky tried to flip the ball to first behind his back to get Hampson but instead flipped it into the CSUN dugout, putting Hampson at second. Hampson advanced to third on Zack Domingues' ground out to second and scored the game's only run on Zack Rivera's chopper to second.
No. 8 USC 13, Arizona 6: Bobby Stahel had four of the Trojans' season-high 18 hits and Reggie Southall drove in four runs as USC (24-6, 6-2 Pac-12) used some early offense to clinch a series victory with its second win in as many nights in Tucson. Six different Trojans had multi-hit days, but Timmy Robinson (Ocean View High) and David Oppenheim had the only extra-base hits, both doubles.
The Trojans scored seven runs on eight hits – all singles – in the top of the first inning. Arizona pitcher Robby Medel was chased after facing seven batters and recording just one out (six earned runs, six hits allowed). Southall and Stahel drove in two runs apiece in the inning, and Jeremy Martinez (Mater Dei High), Dante Flores and Blake Lacey also drove in runs.
The Wildcats (22-8, 7-4) got on the board in the bottom of the third, as second baseman Scott Kingery hit his second home run of the series. An infield single from Bobby Dalbec scored Kevin Newman to cut the lead to 7-2.
The Trojans added two more in the fourth on a sac fly from Martinez and an RBI double from Robinson. USC struck for three more in the fifth inning when Southall had a two-run single and Garrett Stubbs had an RBI single that extended the lead to 12-2. USC finished the game 9 for 19 with runners in scoring position.
USC starter Kyle Twomey (El Dorado High) improved to 5-1, allowing two runs and seven hits in five innings while striking out three and walking two. Bernardo Flores replayed an ineffective Mason Perryman and pitched 3-1/3 innings, allowing just one run and three hits with one walk and five strikeouts.
The highlight for Arizona was Kingery. The leadoff hitter was a triple shy of the cycle, going 5 for 5 with two doubles and the home run, his third in the last four games.
No. 9 UCLA 4, Oregon State 1: A strong outing from senior pitcher Grant Watson and a trio of two-out RBI proveed to be the difference as the ninth-ranked Bruins (22-6, 9-2 Pac-12) evened their weekend series at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Watson (5-2) turned in one of his best outings of the season, striking out a season-high tying six batters, while allowing no runs and three hits. Grant Dyer and David Berg combined to strike out all six batters, in succession, in the eighth and ninth, Berg earning his seventh save.
Kevin Kramer went 2 for 5 with a double, two RBI and two stolen bases to pace the UCLA offense. Darrell Miller Jr. went 2 for 4 with a double and two runs scored and Ty Moore went 2 for 4 with an RBI.
UCLA struck for the game's first run in the bottom of the third inning when Moore hit a two-out single up the middle to score Brett Stephens from second base. One inning later, Miller began the inning with a single and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt from Christoph Bono and a groundout by Trent Chatterton. Kramer then squared up a 1-and-2 pitch and sent a hard line-drive back up the middle to score the UCLA catcher.
With one out in the sixth, Bono followed Miller's double with an RBI single to center field. Bono reached second on the play on an overthrow. Then, with two outs, Kramer delivered an RBI double to left for a 4-0 lead. OSU freshman Drew Rasmussen (3-2) allowed four runs and seven hits in 5-2/3 innings. The Beavers (22-8, 5-3) scored their run in the top of the seventh on a two-out double down the right-field line from Kyle Nobach.
