By Kathleen Sprows Cummings, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Kathleen Sprows Cummings is an associate professor of American Studies at the University of Notre Dame and the Director of the Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism. The views expressed are her own.
Conventional wisdom was that a short papal conclave would result in the election of a front runner. So when I heard that there was white smoke after just five ballots, I prepared for a TV interview by reviewing notes about Cardinal Angelo Scola of Milan. Not visible on camera was a thick packet on my lap containing profiles of other candidates, just in case. Luckily, I had it arranged in alphabetical order, and quickly laid my hands on the rather slender file of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
In Catholic circles, it is relatively rare to witness events without precedent. And yet we have seen so many of them in the space of a month. Close on the heels of Benedict's resignation came the election of an unexpected successor, who, it turns out, had a few more surprises in store for the faithful. In his first public moments as pope, Bergoglio engaged in a little self-deprecating humor, led the people in three of the most unifying prayers of the church, requested a blessing and humbly bowed before them. The most astonishing thing of all was his new name. Bergoglio became the first pontiff in history to adopt as his patron a beloved saint who may be best remembered for his love of animals and the simple life, but who was above all a reformer who called on a flawed institution to repair itself.
U.S. Catholics can be certain of this: Papa Francesco will make no abrupt reversals, least of all on issues over which they find themselves most disconnected from church teaching. But during a time when so many of them are clamoring for change, they are likely to be encouraged by any break with precedent at the highest levels of church leadership. In particular, the elevation of an Argentinian to the papacy represents a monumental shift in the church's center of gravity that should resonate with Catholics throughout the Western hemisphere. I happened to be with a group of third graders at a Catholic parochial school when the white smoke appeared. Many of them were captivated by the possibility of an "American" pope – by which they meant a person from the United States. As I expected, there are still no stars and stripes in the vicinity of the Sistine Chapel.
More from CNN: Pope Francis' complicated past
But Francis is nevertheless an American pope, and my young Catholic friends will grow up in a nation that increasingly understands itself as part of one America, in which economic realities and human migration render national borders less relevant.
Bergoglio's style may signify an even more meaningful departure from longstanding tradition. By now, everyone knows that the Archbishop of Buenos Aires eschewed many of the privileges that come with being a prince of the Church. And if the first day of his pontificate are any guide, he plans to continue doing so, at least to the extent it is possible. My Facebook feed yesterday was full of gleeful pictures and posts: Pope Francis rode the bus with the cardinals! He refused the papal limo on his trip to Santa Maria Maggiore! He paid his own hotel bill! At a time when clerical privilege is widely viewed as, at best, a vestige of a spirituality that no longer holds, and, at worst, justification for sheltering criminals, any sign of resistance to it at the Vatican will be most welcome.
Catholics in the United States have always grappled with the tension that comes from living in a culture that adapts readily and rapidly, and being faithful to a church that changes only slowly and with great caution. The chasm between Rome and America may seem especially wide at this historical juncture, and how effective Papa Francesco will be in bridging it remains to be seen. What is certain is that the tone of the first 24 hours of the new pope would have been markedly less optimistic had a Vatican insider stepped out on that balcony.
Can this Pope bridge the gap between America and Rome? A more important question would be, will the Pope denounce once and for all, the use of those ungodly drones and Apache helicopters to slaughter people like cattle in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen? And will he also denounce the aggressive wars that we're currently engaged in? He should as these have already been outlawed at the U.N. but disregarded in 2003 by both George Bush and Tony Blair when they invaded Iraq!
Well said, Quigley. In fact, you're the only one on this web page who said anything at all. Why is that?
@Quigley & Kerry, haven't you heard popes preach? They all urge for peace. But they don't want to get into politics. Not since the end of World War II. Honestly you wouldn't want to have theocrats and religious fanatics. Haven't you seen enough of them in the Middle East already?
Yes, Pope Francis will be a bridge-builder and he gives the impression of determination. His background and personality will be his assets in dealing with the cardinals inside the Church as well as faithful and critics in the outside world.
Tell you what, you be our ambassador and head over there and negotiate a cease fire. Maybe when they're have your head half way lopped off you'll realize it's better kill them before they find the means to do to the same. It sucks, but that's reality.
Nothing short of denouncing being catholic, the US church is doomed.
The gates of Hell will never prevail agains the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church
I don't care what the Pope does. It's a matter for Catholics. Who else cares?
You do not sound as James, but as "Korean Gangnam". We in Europe want America be run from Americans, and not imported "Korean-inteligence-officials". There is no gap between USA and EU, but there are big gaps between USA-EU and North and South Korea.
I've no idea what you're talking about, Roberto
It matters greatly James, because the Catholic church in the U.S. and elsewhere has inserted itself into the public square. It's not enough for the church hierarchy to tell it's own adherents what to do, they want to tell everyone else what to do as well. They want all of us to live by their rules. I for one am deeply offended by that.
Culturally, I do not see a gap between America and Rome.
America is a collection plus of all Human races around the Globe.
In addition, from wherever we all brought any Religion and Culture, we are free to exercise it in America. Many thanks for those Christians (Great Britain heroes) who challenged all the past hardships and welcoming us by opening the bright door of America.
Remember, America is established only by Christians.
Just curious. If I am wrong, let Almighty GOD forgive me.
I tried to get the extended family trees of the current Argentina born, His Holiness Pope Francis. I did not get it, that much.
However, just by observing his facial expressions and structures, he seems Jewish descendant. I figured out by matching his Ears, Nose, Chicks and his focus.
I need CNN and the audiences to respond.
As we know, the World we are living is changed.
If American priests would quit subverting the church and start teaching what is in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we wouldn't have a gap to bridge. How about teaching what the Church actually states is truth?
100% ETHIO – you're absolutely right – the world is changing, unfortunately the Catholic Church is not, which will ultimately be the catalyst for its demise....
IIsrael deposed the vatican decades ago.
Not everyone likes religion being forced upon them, which is the case here. The Amereican media, is telling the populus that this guy (pope) is important to you. This is compltete violotion of religious freedom when the political leaders and media alike force this guy upon us. Sorry, but there is a seperation of "church and state" and my/our religious freedon is being violated. All the recent events(including the selection of the pope) relate to masonic numbers...such as number 13...and 3..and 7, and 6. Weird coinicidence !
No one is forcing this on you. All you have to do is refuse to read the articles or watch the news about this particular topic. I don't like and am not interested in lots of stories in the media. That doesn't mean my rights are being abridged. I just don't read them.
What are you ranting about? Masonic numbers? Where did that come in? If you feel your religious freedom is violated by this (or any news article), the solution's simple....don't read it.
The 3 great evils in the world are Islam, the Catholic Church, and the Republican Party.
Penny.....if u had said Islam, secularism, and the Democratic party, I'd have wholeheartedly agreed with you.
you left communism the biggest evil in the world
Now yours is the most idiotic comment I've seen here yet, vvi3! In fact, if being stupid were to be a virtue, you'd be a living saint!
Short answer is no. Unless Francis decides to change the traditional stances on gay marriage,condom use and woman priests. There is no middle ground the church needs to modify itself for the times.
No. The Church will not change what it teaches. American Catholics need to decide whether they want to believe what the Church teaches and go along with it, continue to be mad and fight it or just join another church. The Roman Catholic Church will not budge on the social issues and both Catholics and non-Catholics need to understand this.
Well said Jim Bob.....what American catholics (some, not all) fail to understand is that it is WE who need to adjust our ways and behaviors to abide by God.....not the other way around.
Ah, but the Catholic Church has changed in many ways over the centuries. Any belief, if it be truly God's will, will endure, and any belief that is the result of the flaws of men will eventually fade. However, you must take care not to be too quick to interpret the absence of change as evidence of the justness of the status quo; to the extent that false beliefs do not fade, it often more a sad testament to the hardness of human hearts than evidence of God's will. Only time can truly answer such questions with absolute certainty.
Since we live in a world of limited resources, how can we continue to survive without limiting population growth? Ah I guess it will be self limiting at some point thru starvation. Do we really want to go there. Abstinence does not work, all sane people know that. Doesn't it make more sense to keep the sperm and ovum from getting together than to have children, and ultimately the entire population hungry and starving?
Sir, if you think there are too many people in the world, why don't you get off! You folks just don't seem to understand that the church does not dictate how anyone should or should not live their lives. The catholic church has for years assumed that role but not followed teaching from the Holy Scriptures. I wouldn't listen to anyone who teaches anything contrary to the Word of God. I was raised in the catholic church and like many commenting on this here, became "lost" in the direction the catholics were leading me. I found God, not in any church, but in the Bible. I challenge any catholic, or anyone, to start reading the bible for answers. You'll find words or wisdom you've never heard from any catholic priest.
Article is ridiculous. There is no gap to bridge. Always interesting to se these "journalists" who compare the church and popes to countries and politicians.
Actually the Pope is a transnational figure who has a lot of power with the masses.
He won't "reach" the masses though by watering down the words and teaching of Christ.
He will reach the masses through solid exegesis of Scripture.
The thing about a secular society at any time in history is that eventually man's solutions can feed its hungry heart.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after God" spoke Christ.
My bet is that we are at a pivotal point in that "the muck" and the "malaise" in western "civilization" may cause a number of people to listen to not simply this man, i.e., the new Pope, but to God.
You may not, others may not, but many will.
Catholics, your souls will be erased forever if you do not learn how to repent correctly.
Read what Jesus said and answer the question after:
Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.' Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."
Where did Jesus say pray a Rosary, an Our Father, or a Hail Mary?
Not everything Jesus wants us to do is explicitly stated in scripture.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states it much more eloquently than I:
1459 Many sins wrong our neighbor. One must do what is possible in order to repair the harm (e.g., return stolen goods, restore the reputation of someone slandered, pay compensation for injuries). Simple justice requires as much. But sin also injures and weakens the sinner himself, as well as his relationships with God and neighbor. Absolution takes away sin, but it does not remedy all the disorders sin has caused.[62] Raised up from sin, the sinner must still recover his full spiritual health by doing something more to make amends for the sin: he must "make satisfaction for" or "expiate" his sins. This satisfaction is also called "penance."
1460 The penance the confessor imposes must take into account the penitent's personal situation and must seek his spiritual good. It must correspond as far as possible with the gravity and nature of the sins committed. It can consist of prayer, an offering, works of mercy, service of neighbor, voluntary self-denial, sacrifices, and above all the patient acceptance of the cross we must bear. Such penances help configure us to Christ, who alone expiated our sins once for all. They allow us to become co-heirs with the risen Christ, "provided we suffer with him."[63] The satisfaction that we make for our sins, however, is not so much ours as though it were not done through Jesus Christ. We who can do nothing ourselves, as if just by ourselves, can do all things with the cooperation of "him who strengthens" us. Thus man has nothing of which to boast, but all our boasting is in Christ . . . in whom we make satisfaction by bringing forth "fruits that befit repentance." These fruits have their efficacy from him, by him they are offered to the Father, and through him they are accepted by the Father.[64]
I might be wrong, but in Matthew, 6:9 Jesus said, ""This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven..."
Just sayin'....
The Romans are the ones who killed Christ. Why would any sane person worship the same church that killed its leader? If your mom or dad got murdered, would you worship their believes? I didnt think so.
I'm not Catholic, but to address your concerns, Jesus Christ was supposed to die. Good that statement and find out what I mean. The prophets of ancient Israel wrote of one who would be wounded and die for the griefs and sins of mankind.
Also, you can't equate a government decision by 1 Roman leader with all Romans.
Really? You think the Romans who crucified Christ were "Roman Catholics"? C'mon man......
When all the adulterers get arrested at the masses, then he bridged the gap.
Does anyone really care if he bridges the gap? He will probably get tired of the scandals and resign as the previous pope did.
The best thing for pope to do is to announce that Christianity (and any other religion) is just a myth, tell the believers not to waste time, money and energy with that nonsense and to abolish the church. That would be the first and only time that a pope did something useful.
Yes, you sound like an expert in these sorts of things....
After reading your comment I now realize that I was completely wrong. I have just decided to (a) base my life on the beliefs of Bronze age tribes despite the fact that there is absolutely no evidence for any of that and, of course, (b) to give the church a part of my salary. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Seems simple – as was Jesus – either believe and practice (join the club) or not. That some decide to follow does not make them sinners – they have a right to their beliefs – as we all do – if you do not think the Catholic teachings are relevant – then tune it out. That people condem this religion because their beliefs do not mimic their own – only reinforces a simple saying – let he without sin cast the first stone.
the bigger Q is can he bridge the muslim christian gap ( and guess where Obama is on this)
Pope Francis is a Jesuit – in terms of intellect, he has the left and the right beat hands down – he understands the logic and art of compromise.
if Arafat was still around, Obama would want to suck his, well you know.
you know how some people hate change? the catholic church has a patent on that thing.
One thing the Pope needs to change and that is, it's stand against Euthanasia. No one should be forced to live in a constant state of misery due to some terminal illness or a debilitating stroke due to some outlandish belief or law. People should be given the choice whether to tough it out or die with dignity and not the government or some right-wing minority group.
Life is very fragile and people die all the time.
Some died in Turkey in the past days. More died in my part of Europe because of some really bad floods in the past
week. On monday I have witnessed a horrible car accident where some old woman died in front of me.
You know what's the good part? There are more than 7 BILLION human beings still alive on this earth.

The Derek Hough In London Mystery…and Dr. Phil?
Out of all the pros on DWTS, Derek Hough is, without question, the one most likely to keep you guessing as to just what in the hell he's doing at any given moment. I don't think they make them any tighter lipped than Derek. On the one hand, I find the discretion/humble-ness/whatever it is very refreshing in terms of both DWTS pros and celebs in general….but as a Derek fan it's enough to make ya nuts. 🙂 Why is he in London AGAIN, so soon after a mystery project with Peta (one part of which we think is the TV show Red & Black)? Well, he's been to Wimbledon, and he's been to The Brompton Club (see below, courtesy Cozy Cot)….but beyond that, Derek fans haven't a clue. And he ain't tellin' except to say that it's 3:30 in the morning and he's watching UFC. 🙂
As for Dr. Phil – well, he's not in the show promos, but here's what the Dr. Phil show site says for Wednesday, July 11th:
Hollywood hopefuls Dalia, Nandra, Krissy, Hunter, Justice and Grant continue competing for luxurious prizes, including a new car, performing scholarships, a walk-on role on a major daytime soap opera and six months of free rent at a Los Angeles high-rise. Plus, Dr. Phil makes a house call to set the mothers straight. Do their kids want fame as much as they want it for them? And, do the families have a backup plan? Actress Florence Henderson and Dancing With the Stars great Derek Hough offer their expertise before the kids are put to the ultimate test: a talent show in front of a live studio audience. Watch as the children perform for a panel of celebrity judges — and the winner is revealed! Does anyone crack under the pressure? And, do you agree with the judges' decision? Watch and weigh in!

Hi everyone,
I need a bit of help in trying to create a simple hill climbing algorithm in order to solve the travelling salesman problem.
I have some pseudo code that i cannot turn into java, mostly because i have not done Java in a while. I was hoping someone on here could help me.
Here is the first bit of pseudo code i have:
1) Create a random integer p that ranges between 0 and n-1.
2) Create an empty new string say x.
3) Copy from elements 0 to p-1 from scasol to x.
4) Copy the changed version of position p of string scasol to x.
5) Copy from p+1 to n-1 of scasol to x.
6) Set scasol to be x.
and here is what i have done so far on it:
public void SmallChange() { Random rand = new Random(); rand.setSeed(System.currentTimeMillis()); int n = scasol.length(); int p = Math.abs(rand.nextInt() % n); String x; }
I've basically converted the first two bits of pseudo into java but cannot do the rest, can anyone help? Would really appreciate it.
Here is the second pseudo code:
1) We need to add a For loop that iterates for the specified number of iterations.
2) We need to create an initial random solution of size n.
3) We need to evaluate the fitness of our current solution within the loop.
4) We need to copy the current solution (say oldsol).
5) We make a small change to the current solution and evaluate the fitness to another variable.
6) If the new fitness is worse than the old, we copy oldsol back to being our current solution.
7) After the For loop has completed we return the current solution.
I cannot do this one at all so i was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction? I'm really worried about doing this since i've become really stuck.
I would greatly appreciate anyones help on this. I've tried do this for a few days now and i've hit a brick wall so i was hoping that i could get some help.
Thanks in advance.

The ultimate: Steven Braden sells and sells
When the next $10 million property sells around here, a well-placed realtor or two will pocket some serious change. But what about the folks who sell houses for the rest of us?
Although realtor Steven Braden's $4 million sales for the year might pale compared to those who hit it big by selling Mirador or Castle Hill, Braden earns his money the hard way one property at a time, for a total last year of 29 transactions.
"To sell that many houses takes a lot of hard work," says Jim Duncan of Manley Associates, "and having good systems in place to make sure nothing falls through the cracks."
Duncan notes that the hardest part of being part of so many transactions is "maintaining the balance between work and family life."
Braden would agree. He and his family were living in Aspen, Colorado, when the lure of Virginia began to pull them eastward.
While many people might consider exotic resorts like Aspen glorious places to live, Braden points out the drawbacks: "House prices are extraordinarily high. There were no sports programs in the schools, and the academics were weak."
His wife, Cathy, an Orange native, is a UVA graduate, and they had maintained close ties to the area. They decided to "come home."
"We have two children at Covenant and one at PVCC," says the 41-year-old father of four. "One reason we came is the good schools.
"We knew that Charlottesville is a good mix of small community and big city, with an abundance of cultural amenities and natural beauty" Braden says, sounding like a good-will ambassador.
And that's understandable, considering that his job as realtor often casts him in that role.
As an agent and developer, Braden has gotten to know city neighborhoods intimately. He's particularly thrilled by the changes taking place in Belmont and Fifeville, many of which he's helped to broker.
There are two sides to Braden: the gregarious real estate agent who stops when he sees a renovation in progress, introduces himself, and kibbitzes about the character of the place or some architectural oddities. That's the guy just named "Rookie of the Year" by the local real estate board.
Braden's other persona is a passionate devotee of ultimate Frisbee, which he calls "the ultimate winter league sport." Not only is he an avid player, but he's a valuable board member of the Charlottesville Ultimate Disc Organization, according to organizer Chris Smith.
"He's newer to the sport than a lot of us," Smith says, "but he's already taken on a leadership role."
That seems to be true of Braden's career as well– with those 29 sales.
"That's outstanding production for a first year," says agent Joan Esposito of Roy Wheeler. "It's clear Steven jumped in with both feet."

The first of two shotgun deer hunting seasons begins Saturday. John Mertz, Iowa State Conservation officer in Marion County, says he expects area hunters to be successful in filling their tags.
"In Marion County, we're always about in the top ten of number of deer taken for the deer season, so everybody should have a good hunt, be able to see deer, and have an opportunity to harvest one," says Mertz.
Mertz reminds hunters to make sure their blaze orange apparel is in good condition and says careful planning can help prevent most hunting accidents.
"Plan your hunt and hunt your plan. The other thing that happens sometimes is target fixation," says Mertz. "Just make sure of what's beyond your target. Not everybody gets what you're trying to shoot at, and you want to make sure that beyond your target is also a safe area. You don't want to be shooting toward any houses, people, livestock or anything like that."
Mertz adds that hunters need to make sure to ask permission before hunting on private land and to make sure and report any harvested deer to the DNR. An estimated 90,000 hunters are expected to take part in the first shotgun deer season, which runs from Saturday through Wednesday, December 9th.

FINAL 2011 State Legislative Agenda: Executive Summary (Text)
In drafting the City's legislative agenda, the Office of Government Relations has solicited input from council offices, City bureaus and the public. The draft legislative agenda was developed with consideration for the difficult economic times facing the state and the ramifications the current economic crisis has had on state and local government revenue sources. Given the budgetary challenges facing Oregon, the City is pursuing legislative solutions where state investment will help the economic recovery. This draft agenda focuses on maintenance and expansion of local revenue raising authority and policies which help to drive economic growth and maintain critical government services. Additionally, the City is supporting initiatives that will help government work more efficiently and policy issues that will promote public safety, neighborhood livability, and help those members of our community in greatest need.
(legislative issues of the highest priority to the City of Portland)
SUPPORT FOR PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT – Actively advocate for adequate and stable operations and facilities funding for pre-kindergarten through post-secondary education including funding for full-day kindergarten and a summer jobs program for students and job training. Support legislation that empowers local work force boards.
PREEMPTIONS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY – Strongly oppose any legislation that would preempt the City's authority to develop and enforce local ordinances, manage its bureaus and functions, raise local revenues, or avoid state imposed tax expenditures on local government. Support legislation that would lift preemptions and grant cities greater authority.
STATE SHARED REVENUES – Preserve the City's share of state liquor, tobacco and 9-1-1 emergency communications revenues. These revenues fund essential public services such as police and fire.
FILM AND VIDEO PRODUCTION INCENTIVES – Support the extension of the Oregon Production Investment Fund (OPIF) and the Greenlight Labor Rebate program, both of which are set to sunset January 1, 2012, so that Oregon is competitive in attracting film and video production to the state.
BUSINESS ENERGY TAX CREDIT – Support extension of the Business Energy Tax Credit (BETC) to provide incentives for public and private sector investments in energy and fuel conservation projects, small-scale renewable energy development, and renewable energy technology manufacturing facilities. Maintenance of the BETC is critical to projects that provide a significant public benefit, such as upgrades to community centers and other public facilities, as well as helping to facilitate the development of an energy efficient economy.
MENTAL HEALTH AND LAW ENFORCEMENT – The City will engage in the development and support of legislation, policies and budget proposals that decrease the number of mentally ill individuals involved with the police and criminal justice system and mitigate the potentially adverse outcomes of an encounter between a mentally ill individual and the police. Such proposals may include the design and funding of the community mental health system.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING – Support the Oregon Housing Alliance's legislative agenda that seeks to maintain the funding dedicated to putting affordable housing -- both rental and homeownership opportunities – within reach for more Oregonians and to fund programs designed to end homelessness.
HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT – Support funding for high capacity transit projects from Portland to Lake Oswego and along the Southwest Corridor.
SUPPORT FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES – Support and advocate for issues of importance to our rural partners that will enhance the health, safety, and economic vitality of the entire state.
(The City of Portland will be the primary sponsor for the following bills)
BROWNFIELDS REDEVELOPMENT – Introduce legislation to incent the cleanup and economic reuse of brownfield properties.
NON-DISCLOSURE OF 9-1-1 AUDIO TAPES – Introduce legislation prohibiting the release of 9-1-1 audiotapes without the consent of the victims, their families, or the caller. The public will be provided with written transcripts, upon request.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING – Introduce legislation to increase the supply of affordable housing and support livable communities by renewing tax abatement for multi-unit housing in core areas/transit-oriented districts.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CONFIDENTIALITY – Seek a narrow exemption from state public records law for records pertaining to domestic violence victims who are receiving support services from a domestic violence center that is also a public agency.
SPEED LIMITS – Introduce legislation creating a "Neighborhood Greenway" designation that would establish a reduced speed limit of 20 miles per hour (mph) in particular areas where improvements have been made to address bicycle and pedestrian safety.
USE OF TRAILS – Introduce legislation to encourage the development and use of trails by extending the same immunity protections for property owners enjoy for the recreational uses of trails on their land to include the use of trails as a means of travel.
FORFEITED DRUG ASSETS – Introduce legislation to allow the use of civil forfeiture money from drug cases to be used for drug treatment programs.
(The City of Portland's position on legislative matters which are important to the City)
ENTERPRISE ZONES – Support legislation extending the Enterprise Zone program, an important economic development tool which has helped to attract and retain family-wage jobs in Portland.
9-1-1 CLOSING PREPAID WIRELESS LOOPHOLE – Support legislation that would establish a mechanism to collect from pre-paid wireless devices the same 75 cents per month tax that is levied on every other device capable of accessing 9-1-1. This fee is critical to supporting the operation of the emergency communications system.
ECOSYSTEM CREDIT MARKETS – Support potential legislation emerging from the Ecosystem Services Markets working group to promote watershed restoration projects.
GREEN BUILDING – Support for legislation containing recommendations related to the creation of Energy Performance Scores for new and existing buildings and updates to related energy and green building codes.
CLIMATE CHANGE: BUILDING A GREEN ECONOMY – Monitor and support legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote energy efficiency and encourage the development of green jobs throughout Oregon.
GRAY WATER – Monitor legislation pertaining to gray water reuse and disposal systems. The City supports regulations which would allow for gray water systems, while simultaneously providing the necessary protections to public health.
PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP – Support legislation that would establish a statewide product stewardship program for compact fluorescent light bulbs and other products containing toxins. 4
ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM – Support full implementation of the Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Technology (EEAST) program, making it easier for business and households to finance energy efficiency upgrades, saving money on utility bills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Full implementation will support Clean Energy Works Portland and Clean Energy Works Oregon.
SINGLE-USE PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS – Support legislation that would establish a statewide ban on single-use plastic shopping bags.
FUNDING FOR DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES – Support efforts to minimize cuts to the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) budget – specifically, the department's funding for alcohol and drug treatment programs, community mental health programs, and mental health services for adults and families, including young adults exiting foster care. The City also supports policies that would direct more DHS resources to alcohol and drug treatment programs, community mental health programs, and mental health services.
DRAFT AUDIT REPORTS – Support legislation amending ORS 192.502 to include preliminary draft audit reports and public work papers among the materials that are exempt from public disclosure. All records would be made fully available once the audit is completed. This legislative change will allow for errors to be addressed and the audit to be completed in a manner that will prevent misinformation from being released prior to the audits completion, which can undermine the credibility of the audit.
GUN SAFETY – Support statewide legislation to reduce illegal gun use and restrict access of minors to guns.
SEX TRAFFICKING – Support legislation aimed at reducing the incidence of sex trafficking and ease the way for those coerced into prostitution, to access appropriate services.
SAFETY IN ESTABLISHMENTS SERVING ALCOHOL – Support legislative proposals that will allow local governments to address immediate threats to public safety that arise out of the sale and service of alcohol and provide the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) with criteria to intervene earlier to address problem establishments. Given the connection between alcohol service and public safety, the City will also support a requirement that the OLCC membership include a position for a public safety representative on the commission.
STATEWIDE TAX REFORM – Support changes to the state and local tax system that will provide stability for state and local government and avoid regressive results.
BEER TAX – Support legislation that will increase beer taxes in Oregon, providing increased funding for local public safety. Additionally the City would support an increase that also includes funding for mental health and drug and alcohol treatment.
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES – Monitor efforts that would substantially alter the system development charge (SDC) framework that has been in place since 1989. Oppose efforts that would combine and/or cap existing SDCs with new SDCs.
RIGHT-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT – Oppose legislation that would limit the City's ability to manage and maintain the public right-of-way.
POLE ATTACHMENTS – Oppose legislation that would classify local governments as "licensees" for purposes of being subject to fees imposed by pole owners.
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING FOR ALL MODES – Support efforts to maintain and expand funding for all transportation modes including automobile, transit, rail, ports, pedestrian and bicycles.
IDLING REGULATIONS – Support legislation to limit unnecessary vehicle idling. Unnecessary vehicle idling wastes gas, money, and generates needless greenhouse gas emissions, and restrictions on vehicle idling is an easy, low-cost way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions statewide.
STATEWIDE INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES STRATEGY – Support the Oregon Water Resources Department in their development of a Statewide Integrated Water Resources Strategy.
MUNICIPAL WATER CONSERVATION – Monitor potential legislation pertaining to water conservation mandates for municipal water providers, oppose legislation that would expand water conservation requirements to municipal water suppliers and tie the requirements to water right processes.
WATER AND WATER QUALITY DEPARTMENT BUDGETS – Monitor budget cuts and possible fee increases relating to the budget for the Oregon Water Resources Department (WRD), Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and Oregon Drinking Water Program.

Refinement. It's a word we've come to associate (sometimes incorrectly) with luxury brands and upscale dining. Musically, maybe the term conjures up a string quartet. It's not what you see emblazoned on welcome signs to little Appalachian Mountain towns like Luttrell, Tennessee.
But to properly consider the career of Chester Burton Atkins, native son of said mountain town, the true meaning of refinement ("to make improvement by introducing subtleties or distinctions," says Webster) could prove more than a little useful. Chet's not the only small-town kid to become a major-league musician, cultural force, and executive, though few have achieved so much with such humility. But on the guitar, where nails meet strings, Chet stands pretty much alone. He didn't just create new techniques, à la Earl Scruggs and the banjo. He brought refinement from a most improbable place to a most improbable genre. His genius was in taming the wild hillbilly guitar and taking it to places it had never been, including pop radio, major symphony halls, and even the White House.
Where there had been 6-string chunk and jangle, he brought intricacy and grace. Mother Maybelle Carter, whom Chet revered, had already enlivened the country strum with melody notes that seemed to float above a steady harmony part. Chet developed that idea with his fingers, because melody was his beacon and the secret of his popular success. Chet, also via radio, copped from Merle Travis and taught himself to weave bass lines and melodies together in lacy patterns, backed by a fingerpicking bounce. And although the great Andrés Segovia imperiously snubbed Chet when they met, Chet fused Segovian technique and sophistication with Travis' walking bass lines and Maybelle's mountainside soul. This remarkable approach was mature by 1950, and Atkins spent the next 50 years refining it even further.
The accolades have been many, and Chet was well rewarded on Earth as he is, one trusts, in the beyond. But it is unfortunate that among the general public nowadays, Chet is not as well known as he might be in the pantheon of great American musicians. He's at a seeming disadvantage to fellow instrumental pioneers who also did a lot of singing, such as Louis Armstrong, B.B. King, or Bill Monroe. Popular music has methodically purged instrumental music— Chet's purview—from radio, television, and Top 40, so parts of whole generations have grown up never having heard a solo guitar tune. Guitar playing in pop music has all but vanished in the mix, and country guitar has become largely indistinguishable from rock guitar of the 1980s. Chet's approach—arguably the apex of guitar artistry in country—lives on in careers like Tommy Emmanuel or the much younger Ben Hall. And there's a marvelous annual gathering of the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society every year in Nashville. But America, and American music, could use a lot more Chet Atkins and his musical values.
A special, yearlong exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville will help rectify this situation. It fills only one room, but with video, documents, and a painstaking reconstruction of Chet's workbench, Chet Atkins: Certified Guitar Player offers a concentrated dose of all that Chet accomplished as an artist, executive, producer, and human being. There are cases full of guitars, Grammy Awards, photos and correspondence, but the workbench—exactly as Chet left it upon his death in 2001—is a highlight. It feels a bit like stepping into the cover of Chet Atkins' Workshop LP from 1961. It's full of vacuum tubes, pickups, homemade effects boxes, snapshots, and a soldering iron. It looks like the inveterate tinkerer just stepped out of the room. It's a microlevel look at an outsized legacy.
The exhibit tells Chet's story in a variety of ways, but most absorbing for lovers of the instrument will be the guitars themselves. Since Chet's death, the Hall of Fame has been the official caretaker of Chet's instruments, and seven or eight, including the D'Angelico Excel described below, have been on permanent display for years. But another baker's dozen were pulled out of storage for this exhibit. From the primitive Sears Silvertone to the sublime classical electrics, one can trace a story of passion and professionalism in these instruments. He didn't collect for collection's sake; he regarded the instruments as tools of a trade. He is said to have had one guitar or another in his hands nearly every waking hour of his life.
Chet's biography is not of special interest for its personal dramas or his profound complexities and paradoxes, as is the case with so many musical masters. That just wasn't him. Chet was as well-liked and well-adjusted a man as there has been on Music Row, and he was married to the same woman, the beloved Leona, from the 1940s until death did them part. His story is written almost entirely in music and with the guitars he played.

Laura Henriksen
ARMSTRONG – Funeral services for Laura Henriksen, 87, of Armstrong will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013, at Nazareth Lutheran Church in Armstrong with Pastor Vance Toivonen officiating. Private family services will be held at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Lotts Creek with Pastor David H. Bergquist officiating. Interment will be at Armstrong Grove Cemetery in Armstrong.
She went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013, at Mayo Clinic Health System of Fairmont, Minn.
Laura Louise (Radig) was born Oct. 23, 1926, on the family farm near Lotts Creek, Kossuth County to Alex and Emma (Krause) Radig. She was the youngest of four boys and four girls. She was baptized and confirmed at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Lotts Creek. She attended country school, Immanuel Lutheran Parochial School and graduated from Lone Rock High School in 1945. She attended college at Iowa State University and AIB in Des Moines. She met the love of her life, Dr. LeRoy Henriksen, and they were married Nov. 25, 1949. They lived in Chicago before Dr. LeRoy began an optometric practice in Armstrong in 1951. They became the parents of five children and were actively involved with their church and community. Laura taught Sunday School, sang in the choir and belonged to the women's groups at Nazareth Lutheran Church. She was a Cub Scout den mother and a 55-year member of General Federated Women's Club. Her greatest joy was her family. She enjoyed spending time and working on the family farm, playing cards and was an outstanding cook for her family and friends. The greatest gifts to her family and friends were her unconditional love and unwavering faith in her Christian faith. Dr. LeRoy died May 18, 2001. She continued to live in her own home thanks to all of her loving caregivers until her death.
Left to cherish Laura's memory are her children, Glenn Henriksen, of Armstrong, Dr. Paul (Kristy) Henriksen of Pipestone, Minn., Philip (Lisa) Henriksen of Armstrong, Mary (Lennon) Brandt of Swea City and Richard Henriksen of Minneapolis. Grandchildren, Jess (Alizabeth) Henriksen, Erik (Katelin) Henriksen, Berit Henriksen, Alex Brandt, Leslie Brandt, Adam Brandt, Natalie Henriksen, Rachel Henriksen, and great-grandson Jorgen Henriksen. Brothers, Gerald (Ann) Radig of Des Moines, Eugene Radig, Sanborn, and sister-in-law Kathryn Langerman, Colfax, N.C.
Preceding Laura in death were her husband Dr. LeRoy; parents; grandson, Karl Henriksen; siblings and spouses Donald (Lillian) Radig, Wilfred (Elisabeth) Radig, Helen (Harold) Gross, Verona (Glenn) Berntson and Evelyn (Jiles) Phillips; brothers-in-law, Clifford (Helen) Henriksen, Harvey (Lorene) Henriksen, Gerald (Lois) Henriksen and Marcus Langerman.

In case you have followed the action in NBA, you know that Kobe Bryant became the youngest NBA player to score 30,000 points after dropping 29 last week in a victory over the New Orleans Hornets.
Only four other players – Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain – hit that mark, so it is a meaningful accomplishment.
The funny thing is, while Bryant was the youngest to do it, aided by going to the NBA directly out of high school, he needed more games to reach that mark than any of the others, who are all Hall of Famers.
Malone, who entered the league at age 22, needed 28 fewer games. (Bryant started only seven of his first 150 games in the NBA, whereas Malone was starting, and playing 30 minutes a night, from almost the moment he entered the league.)
Jordan entered the league at 21 and left twice, in 1993 and 1998, despite leading the league in scoring the previous season. He did not hit 30,000 points until he was 38 and playing with the Washington Wizards. Still, he needed 220 fewer games – almost three seasons' worth – than Bryant to reach the milestone.
That Bryant needed more games than any of these other players might, in the eyes of some, mute the accomplishment. But it also serves to frame the achievement in a different light: It is downright incredible that he has played so many games at such a high level.
The crazy truth is that at 34, with all those games on his knees and ankles, Bryant is not only leading the NBA in scoring this season, he is also enjoying the most efficient scoring season of his career. Bryant's true shooting percentage (which incorporates the value of 3-pointers and free throws) is 61.1. Previously, his best TS percentage was 58.0, in 2006-07.
So Bryant might be a better scorer today than when he was 28 — when athleticism and experience often combine to produce peak years for NBA wings — which would be an accomplishment that speaks as much to what Bryant has done off the court as to what he has done on it. Even for all of Jordan's veteran guile, his TS percentage declined steadily after he won his second title with the Bulls as a 28-year-old in 1991.
Intense preparation
Any profile you read of Bryant will make mention of his intense preparation — not just in thousands of jump shots but in thousands of minutes with his feet in ice baths. In 2009, Rick Reilly followed Bryant around on game day for ESPN the Magazine, and noted that Bryant travels in a customised van that allows him to ice his feet and knees (which he does three times a day without fail) while he watches game video.
Earlier this year, when Chris Ballard profiled Bryant and his basketball star father, Jelly Bean Bryant, for Sports Illustrated, he included this description of Bryant's world of personal trainers, massage therapists and ice baths: "He travels with his own trainer, Tim Grover, and he persuaded the team to hire his longtime physical therapist, Judy Seto, so he could receive treatment at all hours. When the Lakers held a Super Bowl party in February at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia, all but one of the players relaxed and watched the game. Bryant sat in a corner with his ankle in a bucket of ice and directed Seto as she worked on his limbs."
There is no such thing as "off time" for Bryant.
Whereas most players will be remembered for their exploits on the court – and Bryant, with the five rings he has won in Los Angeles, will certainly be a legend for his footwork, his fadeaways and his snarl – Bryant's most enduring impact might be the example he set off the court. For goodness' sake, the man went to Germany to have an operation he could not have in the United States, so that his knees, worn thin from so many seasons and postseasons, would potentially have a bit more life.
Even if he did not change the game on the court the way, say, Jordan or Chamberlain did, he has done as much as anyone else to push the limits of off-court dedication.
No one has taken better care of his body (even Jordan drank and smoked cigars), which is why perhaps no one else has played at Bryant's level so many games, minutes and dunks into his NBA career.

I have to leave this afternoon, so there will not be an end of day report unless there are significant developments, and if there are it will be later this evening.
The move down today has been pretty tame with little impulse behind it. Again, we have positive seasonality, a buy signal on the weekly and a sell on the daily. Thus the market is behaving in a choppy and non-directional manner.
We're approaching oversold on the 30 minute stochastic, so there's a possibility of higher prices soon, although the 60 minute still shows room in both directions.
All the indexes broke down out of their bear flags, but have not reached their respective targets yet. The DOW has been the strongest and the RUT/NDX the weakest.
Note on the 5 minute SPX that we are right back at that old magnet of a blue line, the bottom of the old triangle at 860. We have broken beneath the large bear wedge, light blue line, and have now confirmed with a clean break on the bear flag (green lines). This 860/865 area is strong support and it now looks like it is turning into a small H&S neckline. If so, and it confirms, the target on that would be down in the 840 area. Note, too, the 'm' pattern that has formed today with a lower high – that's bearish.
Interesting tape though, as we are approaching oversold on the stochastic, it doesn't feel that bearish and has certainly settled down from the extreme volatility we were experiencing. Of course events can change that in a hurry either way.
Here's a 3 month daily chart of the VIX. Note that it went back up into that ominous triangle. Don't know, the charts are talking here… that is a huge caution flag. We'll see though, it has to regain the 50 dma first without falling back outside. Again, a break down of the VIX would be bullish – hasn't happened so far.
Here's a chart of the TNX (10 year T-note). Friday it produced what looked like a reversal hammer, but it did not confirm today.
As I've been typing the SPX has dropped further and is now beneath 860… looking a little more impulsive here on the downside. The VIX is rising even higher, now up 7.7% on the day so far.
I'll be taking just a little of my short positions off here this afternoon to let the stochastic work off that oversold on the 30 minute timeframe, but still think it's likely we reach the bear flag targets.
Have a good afternoon,
EDIT update: picked up some bullish impulsiveness in last half hour. VIX failed to make a new high, but is still inside the triangle. Took small profits on most of short positions, good time to be small!

" ... In 1986 an offer to share a workshop with an antique restorer friend started me thinking about using some of my enthusiasm and interest in wood to real benefit. I restored musical instruments for a time - but I soon decided I wanted to actually make something.
I was fascinated by boxes, and still am. Isn't everyone? ... boxes contain things and, more importantly, HIDE things from view. Human nature being what it is one naturally wants to know what is inside a closed box - so a natural reflex is to open it, and if it's locked you really want to open it. What is it that is being so carefully protected, or hidden - what can it be that justifies this special treatment, particularly if it is an elaborate and valuable box.
I wanted to create these 'precious' and fascinating items -the 'jewellery' of the cabinet makers art - and this also suited the logistics of being in a small, shared workshop surrounded by chests of drawers, tables, chairs and partner's desks. Actually I had made my first box around the time I moved into the workshop [click here] and this was so well received that I decided to phase out the musical instrument work to concentrate on the box making. Things just took off from there and I have been making boxes ever since. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

A different kind of lecture: students gather for class at Musician's Institute
The role of the guitar—and music for that matter—in academia has gone through incredible changes in the last 50 years. For decades, colleges and universities didn't recognize the guitar as a "legitimate" instrument and forced many aspiring 6-stringers to pick up a secondary instrument just to get by. For those more progressive institutions that did allow students to concentrate on guitar, the stylistic focus was usually limited to classical or jazz offerings. No "Devil's" music allowed.
As popularity of the guitar increased, the perception of the instrument moved into more favorable graces of even the most elitist programs. Today, during the course of pursuing a degree, students can study everything from the finer points of a B.B. King solo to the sonic soundscapes of The Edge. Add to that all the technological advances in the last decade, and you have the means to achieve an incredibly well-rounded musical education.
Options abound for high school students interested in pursuing music in college. From traditional four-year universities like the University of North Texas or the University of Southern California to more specific programs like those offered at Musicians Institute or Berklee, the right fit is out there for everyone. PG rounded up professors from some of the top guitar programs around to discuss how the role of the guitar in higher education has evolved and how best to prepare for taking the next step.
Choose Your Own Adventure
Deciding what program is right for you is an important decision and factors like location, faculty, finances, and course offerings all make a difference. Typically, the degree types fall into two different camps: Four-year programs at universities that usually result in a bachelor's degree and two-year, more specialized certificate or diploma programs.
At many colleges and universities, there are several different degree paths for students to consider such as performance, music education, music therapy, music business, and music production, just to name a few. "I think the most important thing for someone starting their professional life is to really figure out what they want to do," says Jude Gold, director of the guitar department at Musicians Institute. "A lot of us have aspirations of doing multiple things. Also, some jobs require a certain degree, especially if you want to go into higher education as a career someday." That necessary focus on a possible occupation, even if it changes down the line, will give you the direction needed to progress through any course of study in college and might even lead to new non-musical discoveries.
Frank Potenza, chair of the studio guitar department at USC, feels the university setting has a lot to offer students, even outside the scope of the music department. "A university education offers the opportunity to take advantage of that vast array of courses and disciplines that just aren't available at a conservatory or places that are exclusively music schools," he says. "Many of our students are encouraged to minor in other disciplines such as philosophy or business to give them a more complete education."
Potenza and a small group of guitar students at USC
Two of the most well-known programs are on opposite sides of the country, Berklee School of Music in Boston and Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. Both offer two- and four-year programs that cover an ever expanding range of styles, instruments, and even concentrations.
Boasting more than 1,000 enrolled guitar students, Berklee has become not only a well-respected program but also a pioneer in online education (more on that later). With 12 majors of focus within the guitar program, many go beyond the typical performance or education focus that is common at many universities: music business/management, film scoring, jazz composition, music therapy, songwriting, and several more.
Established in 1945, Berklee was one of the first schools in the U.S. to teach jazz, the popular music at the time, in the classroom. Since then, the scope has broadened dramatically to include nearly every style imaginable. "I would say in the last 10 to 15 years, the course offerings have blossomed in more of an eclectic direction," says Rick Peckham, interim chair of the guitar department. "Berklee is famous all over the world for jazz and that remains the core focus of the theoretical information that every student gets, but there are many more options as far as the styles that are covered. We have labs that cover everything from Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck to Joni Mitchell and Chet Atkins."
Musicians Institute (MI) is based in the entertainment hub that is Los Angeles and has become the first stop for nearly every pop, R&B, or rock artist who is looking to round up some hotshot players to fill out their band. Most students attend MI for the two-year program, but a fair amount of students attend for the four-year Bachelor of Music program. Started in the late '70s as the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT), the school was based around the teachings of legendary jazz guitarist Howard Roberts.
"They come in with tons of information and we help turn that information that they already have into an actual musical voice and gain the ability to lock in with other musicians and speak that universal language," mentions Gold. That synergy between the students and the guitar faculty—all 49 of them—creates a close-knit community that fosters performance and real-world skills above all else. It isn't unusual to also find big-name pop and rock acts scouring the halls of MI looking for talented musicians to take on the road.
MI's Jude Gold moderates a clinic with Gus G., guitarist for Ozzy Osborne and Firewind.

Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask Lamar Community College a question
A small hick town where a country boy or girl will fit in very well. I was thrilled with the Horse Training and management and the Equine Busness Management programs. The horses seemed well taken care of and very happy.Read More
Lamar Community College is a place of assisted learning at a below average scale. Of the 45 hours I have completed, about 20 challenged me. The teachers who cared about the students desired success for each student and it shows in their curriculum.Read More

Live at Old South Church LP
Stream It:
2nd Pressing now available for pre-order! But rather than just repress the album, we decided to completely overhaul the artwork and the audio. The first pressing was done at Rainbo Records, and this new pressing is being handled by Pirates Press, they use a different vinyl mastering technique called DMM, or Direct Metal Mastering. You can learn more about that HERE. So while this is technically not a repress using the original plates from the 1st pressing, it is still officially the 2nd pressing of this recording. Artwork was once again handled by long-time collaborator and stud muffin, N.Shumaker/Northern Lights Industries.
500 pressed:
- 100 Translucent Yellow /100
- 100 translucent Green /100
- 300 Translucent Red /300
If you have not yet heard this mind-blowing LP, or as Rock Sound called it, "A master class in the art of the perfect post-rock performance...stunning...", you can bang it up above:
"On Friday night, October 22nd, 2010, Caspian played a benefit concert in Boston, MA at The Old South Church. the performance was a benefit for Amirah, a non-profit organization located in Boston dedicated to providing whole-person care for victims of human sexual trafficking. Now, we've wanted to release live Caspian material since the first time we ever saw them perform; if you've ever seen them play, then you know why. On this evening in particular, the band was in that special place that special bands go when things come together perfectly during a performance, and keep in mind we were in a MASSIVE, Gothic Revival style church built in 1875. I suppose the term "epic" would fail miserably in trying to convey the sheer size of the sound that was reverberating hundreds and hundreds of feet from wall to wall to ceiling to floor. Natural reverb, an organic wall of sound. Again, if you've seen the band perform, you have witnessed this impenetrable wall, but never like this. Not in a building this size, or in a room this conducive to utter aural bliss. For those lucky enough to be witnessing the event this evening, it's highly unlikely that anything ever felt quite so "religious". The audio of this experience was captured, and while it's true that there's nothing like actually being there, this recreation is about as close as it gets. It's our privilege to bring these first official live recordings of Caspian to you, in a way we feel is indicative of the sheer power on display when the band performs. If you've never seen the band, this should serve as the ultimate motivator in making that happen as soon as possible. If you have seen the band, just close your eyes and imagine.

I live inside my car leasing website all day Monday to Friday 9am-6pm. I lease the cheapest PCP and contract hire cars in the UK! - I am Ling, accept no substitutes
Thanks for taking the time to look at my headline cars. Please note I can quote on any car on Contract Hire, or any Lease Cars or Lease Hire. In fact I can supply any kind of car leasing. Leasing is a very general term. However, Contract Hire and PCP are by far my favourite products and my customers' favourite products too! The rest can be a little confusing although in a few (business) cases can be appropriate.
I publish all the best and cheapest deals I can source, above; so most bespoke quotes will by their nature be slightly more expensive. - Ling
