Congressman Sherwood Boehlert and Mayor David Brenner announced Friday confirmation of a $991,800 federal grant for the first phase of the expansion of the Oneonta Municipal Airport.
In addition, negotiations are continuing for another $297,254, bringing the total Federal Aviation Administration grant to $1.28 million, Boehlert said.
The grant will be used to extend the runway at the airport by another 800 feet, to create a clear zone for landing planes and to relocate the Bert Brown Road. The city has already received $197,000 from the FAA for land acquisition and engineering studies.
Bruno Bruni, assistant city engineer, said the city is moving ahead on property acquisition, and has had several rounds of negotiations with property owners.
However, Brenner said the condemnation process allows the city to be on the land prior to taking title. Work on the project is expected to begin this fall.
Ninety percent of the project is being paid for by the federal government. The city is hoping for an additional $3.5 million over the next four years to complete expansion, with the total cost estimated at $5.6 million.

This question is not for me, but it is for my dear brothers(In Islam.com...) who keep asking "Is masturbation Haraam?" I answered them Yes it is.(Please read): [ http://islam.com/questions/7147/masturbation-is-haram?page=1#9451 ]
But one day, I asked myself "If they know it is haraam, but they can't resist, so how to stop masturbation?" Even a muslim, who prays 5/5 per day, can sin. Asking Allah for help + Answers(Techniks) will help more

— MIAMI (AP) — Love 'em or hate 'em, it's hard to turn away from Notre Dame and Alabama.
They are storied programs that stir plenty of passions, college football's North and South versions of the New York Yankees.
Well, now they're facing each other for the biggest prize of all.
A national championship.
"Having those two traditions come together in a game like this certainly creates a lot of national interest," said Alabama coach Nick Saban, "which is probably really good for college football."
Indeed, this was shaping up as one of the most anticipated games in years, a throwback to the era when coaching giants named Bear and Ara ruled the sidelines, when it was a big deal for teams from different parts of the country to meet in a bowl, when everyone took sides based on where they happened to live.
"I'm pretty aware of our history. I've become more aware of theirs over the past few months," said Barrett Jones, the Crimson Tide's All-American center. "I know that they are a very storied program. We both are. I think that's part of what makes this matchup fun."
ESPN executives were hopeful of getting the highest ratings of the BCS era. Tickets were certainly at a premium, with a seat in one of the executive suites going for a staggering $60,000 on StubHub the day before the game, and even a less-than-prime spot in the corner of the upper deck requiring a payout of more than $900.
"This is, to me, the ultimate matchup in college football," said Brent Musberger, the lead announcer for ESPN.
For Alabama (12-1), this is a chance to be remembered as a full-fledged dynasty. The Tide will be trying to claim its third national championship in four years and become the first school to win back-to-back BCS titles, a remarkable achievement given the ever-increasing parity of the college game and having to replace five players from last year's title team who were picked in the first two rounds of the NFL draft.

Cometh the hour, cometh the Connor . . .
To begin with, Michelle seemed to be a welcome addition to t'cobbles. She stood up to the shrieking harridan that was Liz McDonald. It wasn't long though before she was trudging through a series of dreary storylines - bisexual lover, various sons with bad hairstyles, Steve as a lover, playing the tart with Peter Barlow and then Luke Strong followed by a stint as the world's most improbable trainee manager at the factory.
Michelle's autumnal return looks set to end in misery but will the viewers feel any sympathy for her? Or will she forever wander the Street as a feckless bint, deprived of the love of a good man and a decent hairdo? Will Carla make the same mistake twice and employ her again? What next for the raven-haired temptress and more to the point, does anyone care?
Michelle Connor - are we welcoming her back with open arms or should we stand her under the viaduct and hope that a tram pays her a 'visit'?

Personally I'm moist with anticipation. Michelle Connor is an icon, a legend, and the most attractive humanoid in Western civilisation; I can't wait for her arrival, and for Kym Marsh to show all these amateurs what REAL acting is all about.

We should organise a street (or maybe Street) party to celebrate her return. I'll bring the sausage rolls . . .
- 21 October 2011 20:35
That's it, I'm throwing meself off the viaduct. She'll be back and twittering her self-righteous non-sense whilst peddling her personal tragedy at the nearest book fair.
- 21 October 2011 23:26
I'm glad she's coming back. :)
- 22 October 2011 01:04
I'm keen for her return! :D
- 22 October 2011 08:46
You must be joking, posteruing, hands on hips stance, that grating voice, Vanity thy name is Me Me Me Michelle - pointless tramp.
- 22 October 2011 09:05
Im quite looking forward to it. At least she can act, unlike Kate ford and some others on the street
- 22 October 2011 09:39
Actually, I don't think she can act unless you count sighing and looking skywards as acting. We have a number of young, attractive actresses in Corrie at the moment, who are pretty hopeless (Helen Flanagan excepted). I haven't missed Michelle at all but she'll bring Ciaron with her so it's not all bad news.
- 22 October 2011 11:19
Haven't missed her at all.
- 22 October 2011 15:17
Some people in real life sighs and roll their eyes. We don't want to see clones on the street. I think Michelle is a different person like Eileen is different to Tina. I like her, you don't. That's fine, but don't insult us okay?
- 23 October 2011 01:05
I fail to understand how people's comments for and against Michelle Conner and/or Kym Marsh can be taken as a personal insult by anyone reading these comments who is not Kym Marsh but just another fan. Persecution complex?

Off-Campus Dining:
Everything from bar food to Indian food to Turkish food is within walking distance of campus. I've been at New Paltz for 3 years and still haven't tried all the restaurants in town. Just DON'T go to China House.
Honestly, competitive sports aren't that popular here. Not many students go to games. However, club sports are very popular, and students here are generally very health conscious.
I can't speak for other majors, but my academic experience has been great for the amount I'm paying. I have had great professors and plenty of experience meeting professionals in the field.
I honestly think New Paltz has one of the best International Relations programs of state schools around the US, especially for it's small size. My professors are extremely knowledgeable. Last year I took the United Nations Semester course, which was a six credit class that involved weekly trips to the United Nations for briefings with UN diplomats and civil servants. I have studied abroad twice for a fraction of the cost I would pay at a private school. This upcoming semester I'll be participating in the Global Engagement Program, in which I take classes in NYC while also interning full time at an NGO in the city. One negative in my opinion is that languages aren't part of the major, which makes me less competitive in the job search and for graduate school. In addition, a lot of students aren't really passionate about IR as a field, and only choose the major because they "like to travel". For the most part though, I love the program.
Library hours and dining hours aren't great, but we have a beautiful gym, really good theatrical productions, and enough computer labs and study spaces to reasonably get by.
Guys & Girls:
Everyone is very nice here. A lot of hipsters, but for the most part we're all average students who just want friends, a reasonably priced college experience, and a job after we graduate.
Campus Dining:
Campus food is what you'd expect campus food to be. It's no different from any of the other SUNY schools, and we have the same provider as most schools around the country (Sodexo). However there are a lot of organic/vegetarian options through agreements with local businesses. We have a small vegan section in the dining hall, and every on campus venue has options specifically for vegetarians. One downside is that the hours of operation for food venues aren't flexible. The only place open after 10 is Oscar's, and the only place open after 12 is the giant, overpriced vending machine on campus that doesn't accept dining dollars.
Campus Housing:
Generally campus housing is fine. Dormitories are about the quality of the average university. However the school is in the process of renovating many residence halls, and these buildings have a lot of perks. In addition, our RHSA, Hall Government, and NRHH organizations are very active and make on campus living more interactive. Otherwise, residence life is average.
Campus Strictness:
The school has a very strict two-strike marijuana policy which many students, including myself, disagree with. If you're found in possession of any harder drugs, it's immediate expulsion. On the other hand, underage drinking policy is fairly lenient. It is a two-strike policy like with marijuana, but if a student is blacked out, UPD usually tries to keep them safe rather than "catch" them.
SUNY New Paltz is lacking in black, latino, and international students, and the vast majority of students are from New York State (because we're state school obviously). However I will say that New Paltz is extremely diverse in terms of sexual orientation, gender identity, and socio-economic status. When there is a racial incident or otherwise on campus, it typically begins a campus-wide discussion that most students engage in informally.
Off-Campus Housing:
Living in the town of New Paltz is very expensive as a student, but if you have a car you can live in nearby Poughkeepsie or Newburgh. If you do choose to live in New Paltz, it is very easy to find an apartment within walking distance of campus. The problem of course is the price, but for some people it's worth it.
Local Atmosphere:
The town of New Paltz is beautiful. Mohonk Mountain is visible anywhere in town, and there is a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and outdoor attractions in the area.
The main street in town is a 5 minute walk from campus and it's lined with plenty of bars ranging from very cheap to upscale.
Campus Dining:
There are a few varieties of food on campus. They are priced reasonably. If you take a short walk of campus into town there are a ton of options. We are located in the Hudson Valley so there is a huge focus on local farms and products. There are many farm to table options and health eating is very easy. There is a higher level of exception of food from the local residents and there for you are able to benefit from that as a student. You don't have to live on classic late night junk food but of course that is still an option too.
Local Atmosphere:
New paltz is a hippy town. If you're in to that than you'll love it. Also if you're in to hiking and being out doors there are a lot of great options
Overall Experience:
I love new paltz. I didn't think I'd end up at a suny school but I happy I did I'm having the time of my life here
New paltz has a decent amount of ethnic diversity the problem is there is no diversity of opinions it's a very libral campus
Campus Dining:
The dining hall is the worst the food get old so fast and leaves you feeling gross. Also on weekends the dining hall doesn't even open till 11 which sucks if you're an early riser
Campus Housing:
I live in gage which is the athletic dorm although I am not an athlete nor are any if my friends that live there. Gage is great but it's known for being the party dorm. This means the bathrooms are always gross with throw up on the weekends and it's loud but the rules are never In forced
Greek Life:
At new paltz there's a few frats and a few sororities but no one really cares if you're in them.
The work load at new paltz isn't too bad depending on your major. the registration process though can be hell. You get in to classes based on you how many credits you have which works well in theory but if you're a semester a head it can end up screwing you over
I love new paltz. But it's not the school to be a math major in. Some of the math professors are not good, but because the department is so small you have no choice but to take them.
Off-Campus Dining:
The town of new paltz is home to lots of great restaurants. Just by walking five minutes off campus your have all kinds of food at you're finger tips from vegan pasta at Rock da Pasta to late night pizza at Fat Bobs thers always good food to eat

Most students love going to school at New Paltz. They love the professors, their fellow students, the town and local atmosphere, and the close proximity to Hudson Valley nature. SUNY New Paltz isn't so big that students are in huge classes where they feel like numbers, and it's not so small that kids get stir crazy or catty.
One of the coolest things about New Paltz is the diversity. There are tons of different kinds of people from really different backgrounds—whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, hipsters from the city, bros from Long Island, stoners, workaholics—everyone lives and interacts harmoniously. You can basically do whatever you want, whenever you want, as long as you stay on top of your schoolwork. If you want to learn and contribute to a cultural and educational hub of the Hudson Valley, you will love New Paltz.

Yes... I'd bring in a 3B and it doesn't have to be a ton of money to do so. I just don't know who that guy is... Someone has to play the position if Plouffe... Plouffes it up in 2014 again. I'll take a D guy with no bat if Plouffe... Plouffes it up again. Anything is better than penciling him into the lineup everyday while he disappoints nearly every single day. Give me some competition for all positions.A Skeleton walks into a bar and says... "Give me a beer... And a mop".

Here is why. IMO, there is no way this team contends even within our division unless and until the prospects have proven themselves and are making this club a winner. By this I mean that among the current group of Arcia/Dozier/Pinto/Hicks/Florimon/Pamelee/Plouffe and the future group headed by Buxton/Sano/Meyer/Rosario/May, and others who might surprise us along with the 2013#5 enough of them have to pan out to make us a contender or very close.
Very best case scenario these prospects lift us to contention in 2016 but more likely 2017. So, free agent additions now make us respectable but not contenders. Therefore, I am not trading prospects right now. Buy 2-3 year FAs instead. I would much rather trade in 2016 or 2017 when we are in a much better position to determine the necessary pieces that put us in contention for several years. I am also not giving up draft picks that could provide a piece that would help toward the goal of contention. I recognize the 42-45th pick is not real likely to provide that type of player but it does not make sense to give it up for a slightly better team now. 5 year deals right now, especially with the SPs available this year put 2017 & 2018 at risk.
No, we don't need the money today but it is not a simple as putting incremental profit in the Pohlad's pockets. What some people appear to ignore is that if the player does not work out, we are stuck with that players (IE Blackburn) for the duration of the contract. The odds of that player not performing or being lost to injury go up significantly with more years, especially with SPs past 30. The difference is that these contracts are big enough to severely limit our ability to add a final piece when we actually have a team that could contend. I would much rather sign the best 2-3 year players I can get now and not risk that the players available today are performing at a level that brings us to contention in the final 2 years of their contracts. Far too many fail to jeopardize 2017 & 2018 for the sake of a few more wins for a roughly 500 team.
The meat of their offense is populated by Pirates prospects. McCutchen, Marte, Walker, Alvarez, Tabata, Mercer.
The pitching staff is starting to be populated from young guys from their minor league system. Locke, Cole, Watson, Wilson. (there's a ton of pitching help on the way in their farm system for the next 1-2 years)
Then they start to take fliers on free agent pitching as the team isn't far away.

I can see us spending in the neighborhood of up to 15/16 million per season on a 3/4 year contract for 1 player. I do not see us going much, if any higher than that. I have our ceiling pegged at Nolasco and more likely Arroyo and or Kazmir. All 3 of those pitchers get the job done. So one of those 3 probably Arroyo at this point is likely to be signed by us. Kazmir is who I think we should go after on a 2 year deal. I can also see us signing a project player or trade (if we can match up with someone).

"Put 2017 & 2018 at risk."
The Twins deemed 2008 "a rebuilding year" and consider what might have happened had the Twins not slashed the payroll so much from 2007 and acquired a bit more talent.
Are we fans expected to "just shell-out" for sub-standard talent because the GM is afraid he might jeopardize the team four years from now? Maybe he should acquire players who will actually be useful four years in the future rather than the detritus he has been signing?

There is a need to spend money to put butts in the seats. You need to sell season tickets. You need to offer hope. When you have bad starters and are losing games in the first inning, people DO stop coming to the games. On the flipside of spending 52% of income on players...when attendance and TV.radio and concessions and other stuff fall, then you might not have 52% to spend because of overall overhead (heaven forbid you open only half the concession stands...wait...that did happen at times). You have money to spend on players. You spend it. It doesn't carry over. You don't know if you are going to win or lose (see Toronto in 2013, even the Angels). You have to be prepared to eat salary. The Twins ate Mauer for x-amount of games last year even. But you have to do your best effort to put a sellable product on the field. Build it, and they will come...it helps if they win!Joel Thingvall

I have to say, we should contact Milwaukee on Aoki. Aoki is a lead off hitter something the twins need, he's got a good arm and good defense, He has a good amount of speed (20-30 sb guy) and not to mention his team friendly contract as he only makes like 1/23rd of Mauers contract. His flaw is three things: He's getting older up in age (32), doesn't have good RBI or hr numbers, and he's on his finally year of his contract (which means we should get him if we think we can contend in 2014). Who to trade for him... Hmmm...
I guess we could give Deduno to them as Deduno is not really a proven starter but has some success in the bigs, or we could give up a relief pitcher maybe Burton as we have some depth in our bullpen. If we were to trade Deduno we could give Gibson, Worley, Diamond, or Hendriks. The thing i like about this trade is that if we did sign ellsbury(doubtful)we could put him in right and move Arcia to left. If I was to make a blueprint this would be on it but my blueprint is crazy I have a very creative imagination. (Note: this trade will not work if we don't plan to try to contend so pretty much 1/75 chance)

These are my timelines for when the Twins pitching prospects will arrive in the big leagues. If they don't make it by the year given or the following year - they won't be anything more than average to just not cutting it. It's the years listed (+1) or break.
2014: Alex Meyer, Michael Tonkin, Trevor May (late)
2015: Mason Melotakis, Luke Bard, Zack Jones, DJ Baxendale
2016: Jose Berrios, Tyler Jones, Brett Lee, Felix Jorge, Kohl Stewart, Ryan Eades, Stephen Gonslaves, Corey Williams, Michael Sulbaran
2017: Yorman Landa, Randy Rosario, Fernando RomeroWe should be able to take care of our starting pitching needs internally.
I also never stated that all free agents would be aces signed to 5+ year contacts, just that they would fill a role on a winning team. Some may be top of the rotation guys, others might bring stability to the back of the rotation during the regular season. Some might be signed to short term contracts to prove they have value, some may be long term 9 figure contracts.
Do you believe that any team that wins the World Series over the next 5 years will do so without any contribution from a free agent starting pitcher?

The worst thing for most organization's not named the Yankees or Dodgers is to be strapped with bad contracts.
I would rather see the Twins go after multiple reclamation projects this season instead of the guys like Santana, Jimenez or Nolasco. Kazmir could be had on a 2 year but instead add 2-3 million on the top of annual salary. Same with Josh Johnson. Worst case we overspend on them and they bust, but its over in two years. Blackburn's deal was only $4.5-5.5M, but that thing lasted like 19 years! Going back to the Cardinals and its philosophy; drafting, signing & developing young talent is the foundation of an organization. Supplement through free agency talent on high upside, but short-term deals (see Beltran, Berkman and even Furcal). All of these deals worked. Furcal was very injury prone, but worst case, they only "ate" the bad salary like one year. He was serviceable to good the others. Spend more on less years.
The 2010 & 2012 SF Giants had Barry Zito, but he didn't pitch much in the playoffs and world series. It was on Cain, Lincecum, & Bumgarner - all system guys.
I don't see the Twins signing a FA pitcher this year that would be 'the guy' who puts us over the top and is still contributing in 2016 or 2017.
If it's 2017 and Meyer just won 15, Stewart 14, Thorpe 14, and Romero, Berrios, and Eades showed promise...I'd be trading for David Price to trying to sign Tanaka to Arroyo.
But, we're at very different circumstances.
I'd be curious to know this stat, how many FA pitchers, signed 4-5 years earlier from another team, contributed to a playoff run, two, to a world series?

I agree that spending on FA pitching on 1-3 year contracts is best. 2 would be the number and I also would add dollars to get the 1-2 year reclaimation projects to come here. Kazmir I would risk 3 only if I had to, Johnson 1 year with an option hopefully, Johan if it comes to that 1 year with an option. Twins need to put people in seats and give the fans hope, some signings will take care of that. And as stated above signings of no greater than 3 years do not block any pitchers.
That is mentoring young pitchers. When you read stories about playoff teams -- particularly thinking of specific comments from Tigers and Rays pitchers but there were others as well -- they often talk about how important it was to learn from a teammate (or former teammate). That's clearly true in terms of the way Scherzer and Fister and Porcello talk about Verlander. I also remember reading it about David Price and James Shields and Edwin Jackson.
There is something to be learned from a good, veteran pitcher that can't be learned from a pitching coach. It seems to be primarily in how the player conducts himself. To me, that type of mentoring (even if you don't call it that) can have long-lasting effects that DO "contribute" to a playoff run or world series -- even if the player is no longer on the team.

By Cindy Allen, Managing Editor
While many may agree with the depiction of the Obama administration by Gen. Stanley McChrystal in an explosive Rolling Stone article that publishes later this week, there just can simply be no tolerance of this by the president.
McChrystal gave a stunning interview to Rolling Stone in which he explicitly made his reservations about his boss (the commander-in-chief) known.
This is an expressed and serious no-no for any military troop member, especially the one charged with the nation's military strategy in a war zone.
Generals have gone "rouge" before. The most well-known time was when esteemed General Douglas MacArthur made contrary statements to the press regarding the official position of Washington in negotiations during the Korean War. President Harry Truman fired him.
In the United States, we have a very direct and explicit chain of command we expect our military and their civilian bosses to operate under. It doesn't matter what a military person's personal feelings are regarding a particular president or administration, verbalizing those feelings can cause serious harm to the overall strategy of an operation.
McChrystal is no dummy. He had to know that his comments would be seen as insubordination and could possibly get him dismissed. Once the proverbial poo hit the fan, he started issuing apologies for what he said.
My thought is, either he meant what he said or he didn't. I think he knew what he was saying and said it anyway, probably because he believes it in his heart.
The problem is, if he believes it in his heart and is willing to say it in an interview, he shouldn't be the one tasked with carrying out the Obama administration's war strategy.
McChrystal will appear before the president tomorrow, and I expect him to either resign or be fired. And even though in this age where everything can be politicized, I think even the most ardent Republican Congress members would agree that McChrystal overstepped his bounds.

The overwhelming concern and support among the faith community for these Central American refugees has been a huge blessing for these children both at the national and local level. If you are wondering how you can help with this urgent need, here are some options on where you can donate your money or time.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Rhonda Rowe and her team gathered around a diagram of the nursing home's floor plan and determined how to split up to avoid praying with anyone twice.
Rowe made her way to a room where a 93-year-old woman lay in her bed while her 87-year-old roommate sat in a wheelchair. Rowe knelt between them and went through her "Nursing Home Gospel Soul-Winning Script."
"Fill me with your Holy Spirit and fire of God," the 93-year-old repeated. "I'm on my way to heaven. I have Jesus in my heart."
Rowe was soon off to the next room, but before she left, acknowledged that she might never see them again on earth. "I'll see you girls in heaven!" she chirped.
Welcome to the world of nursing home evangelism, where teams of lay evangelists target senior citizens for one last chance in this life for glory in the next.
No abundant bright bloom of flowers on the CD cover or obscure Latin in the title or gentle dance of cursive font describing the song list, nothing can hide that this is not your light-and-breezy summer release of cruising-with-the-top-down jams, but rather, a full-blown concept album of folk hymns about the art of dying.
The Art of Dying (officially Ars Moriendi) represents a brave and risky move for the make-it or break-it breakout album of an up-and-coming band. The Collection's courageous collection of orchestral pop hymns chart and curate the grieving heart of a gifted songwriter and the community of bandmates and fans that surround him.
At a time when the flame of the alternative folk explosion still burns bright despite much backlash, this North Carolina ensemble shows up as the son of Mumford and Sons, married to Edward Sharpe's second cousin, with too many members to pack the tiny stages of clubs and bars, with a sound fit for mountaintop vistas, and songs as mystic visions that pierce the veil between life and death.
Despite the heavy earnestness of the entire package, it's exactly the grief-support-group that my ears need, and I imagine a rendering of fragile faith and hope against hope that our world craves. The Collection manage to sing about Jesus and Thomas and the prodigal son without getting pushy, dancing on the fringe of explicit CCM, exploring sacred-meets-secular crossover paths and gritty crossroads that groups like Needtobreathe, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, and Gungor have already traveled.
Death remains that earthly finality to render our denial mute — and our religious musings about whether it represents cosmic reunion, bodily resurrection, or eternal rest are powerless when we admit that the mysterious premonitions of the "heaven is real" crowd are but passing glimpses and not bulletproof facts. The Christians that remain relevant in our world have invested in the Kingdom here, now, and all around us, and they don't shove tracts that guarantee afterlife fantasies in our faces on the same street corners where tramps and hobos sleep and sometimes starve.
[Gilberto] shared about the man who had been deported at 51 years old after living in the U.S. for 50 years. Because this man's parents came to the U.S. when he was 6 months old, he knew no other home than that of the U.S. When he landed in Tijuana, it not only felt like a foreign land, but he didn't even know Spanish.
He shared about the U.S. military veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan but after serving his time in war zones, was deported to Mexico.
He shared about the man who had recently been deported and was now desperately trying to return to his wife and young children in the U.S.
With each story, the layers of isolation, dehumanization, and misunderstanding began to be peeled back. We had all heard the stories of deportation in the headlines, but none of us had come face to face with the humans behind the story.
Mesmerized by this sage who cast such a strong aroma of Jesus, we asked, "What would you encourage us to say to our congregations regarding the plight of the immigrant?"
He quickly responded with words I'll never forget:
"Tell them to read their Bibles. Jesus told us to care for three types of people: the orphan, the widow, and the stranger. It's been 2,000 years and we're still doing a pretty bad job."
Corporations are not people — no matter what five Supreme Court justices and a failed presidential candidate may say.
I take that position on the basis of my religious faith, the very test that the justices applied in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby.
My tradition tells me to ask essential questions.
So here is where I start: May a golem be counted in a minyan? A minyan is a quorum required for certain Jewish prayers, and a golem is a mythological creature created from clay and animated by a sacred incantation.
The golem's "sculptor" controls its actions; it has no real will of its own.
Amid mounting protests in Europe against the Gaza conflict, political and religious leaders in the region have sharply denounced anti-Semitism within their borders.
"Anti-Semitic rhetoric and hostility against Jews, attacks on people of Jewish belief and synagogues have no place in our societies," the foreign ministers of France, Germany, and Italy said in a statement Tuesday from Brussels.
Fears of escalating unrest are perhaps sharpest in France, home to Europe's largest populations of Jews and Muslims. Many have roots in North Africa, and violence in the Middle East resonates strongly here. Thousands defied a government ban against Paris-area protests over the weekend, staging pro-Palestinian rallies that degenerated into violence.
"The final perversion is the reversal of who is the real victim here: the commander of a military base whose drones kill innocent people halfway around the world, or those innocent people themselves who are the real ones in need of protection from the terror of U.S. drone attacks?"
Today leaders from the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) and the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention will join the Catholic Bishop of Brownsville in Texas to visit two facilities for migrant children. This is not the first time evangelical and Catholic leaders have worked together on this particular issue—the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops held a joint press call with the Evangelical Immigration Table earlier this year and then together met with members of Congress in March.
The Internal Revenue Service said it will monitor churches and other houses of worship for electioneering in a settlement reached with an atheist group.
The settlement was reached Friday in federal court in Madison, Wis., where the initial lawsuit was filed in 2012 by the Freedom from Religion Foundation, a Wisconsin-based atheist advocacy group that claims 20,000 members nationwide.
The suit alleged the IRS routinely ignored complaints by the FFRF and others about churches promoting political candidates, issues or proposed legislation. As part of their tax-exempt status, churches and other religious groups are prohibited from engaging in partisan political activity.
Colloquially known as the "Monkey Trial," the Tennessee v. John Scopes trial ended on July 21, 1925, but 89 years later, the American public is still debating on where it stands with religion and science education.
John Scopes, a public school teacher, was charged by the state for teaching evolution because one of its laws prohibited any public school curricula that contradicted creationism. The trial began on July 10, 1925, and Scopes pled not guilty. Along with other members of the community, Scopes had planned the curriculum as a publicity stunt.
Eighty-nine years ago today, Scopes was found guilty and sentenced to pay a $100 fine — an estimated $1,300, when adjusted for inflation.

Oakley's Dungey Continues Streak, Wins Fourth Straight in Colorado
The fifth round of the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship translated into a exceptional day of racing under threatening skies and a jam-packed hillside of exuberant Colorado fans for the Toyota Trucks Thunder Valley National from Thunder Valley Motocross Park. Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey, of Belle Plaine, Minn., extended his 450 Class points lead with his fourth consecutive overall victory while Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Christophe Pourcel, of France, also added to his championship advantage with his second overall win.
Since round two of the 2010 season, Dungey has been on a mission, showing his peers that despite being a rookie, he is more than ready to lead the way in the title fight. On Saturday, he maintained the form that has put him in the driver's seat early on, securing a runner-up effort in Moto 1 and going on to win his sixth of the last eight motos in the final race of the day.
"I've been fortunate to win some races (this year)," said Oakley Factory pilot Dungey. "I just want to keep it up and win as many races as possible. I didn't know what to expect (coming into the season), so I came in with an open mind. Hangtown wasn't what I expected, there just wasn't enough time. But I put it behind me and we're moving forward. They let the track go today and it got rough which was cool. It made for some great racing."
Oakley's Ben Townley, of New Zealand, posted his best finish of the season, grabbing the runner-up spot (6-2) while Brett Metcalfe, of Australia, finished third (4-4) and assumed the runner-up position in the season standings. Defending champion Chad Reed, of Australia, finished ninth (10-7) and fell from second to third in the points.
Dungey now holds a 51-point advantage heading into the halfway point of the season, leading the most laps in the class at 62 and holding the best average finish of 2.7.

Couples Coping
How do you keep your relationship healthy while coping with every day stresses.
See All
My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
I take medicine for depression. My primary care physician switched up my medicine to help with my libido issues and I started to see a psychiatrist. They both told me it might take a while to notice a difference. My husband still seemed different and very distant. I was kind of expecting flowers or some kind of 'butt kissing' but that didn't happen. I was confused. I was in the process of looking for a marriage counselor. I planned a getaway for the two of us to focus on each other. Then one night I just felt suspicious. I couldn't take it anymore so I went snooping. I found emails supporting that my suspicions were true. Very flirty emails back and forth and an indication that they had phone sex previously. Then I found mix CD's she made him along with other gifts.
I confronted him again. And he said he didn't know what his problem was and that he loves me and wants to be with me. We started to see a marriage counselor. He agreed that all contact with her would be broken off.
Then a week later I found a present from her to him with a flirty note. And I check the cell phone bill. There were 3,263 out going texts and 3,331 incoming. I looked at my outgoing 76 and incoming 73 and thought... well he's been interacting with someone other than me quite a bit. I confronted him with both of these things. And he says that she is very upset about the divorce and upset about him trying to fix things with me. She had been committed to the hospital for depression and that she tried to hurt herself and he didn't want that on his head. Our counselor said that in order for our marriage to continue, he needs to cut off contact.
After that I was really not wanting to have sex with him. And I was very very upset. He keeps putting it back on me... that I don't make him feel appreciated and that he feels that I'm just not into him. My friends think I'm crazy for trying to continue to fix things. People ask me "do you really think they are going to stop talking? Divorce and marriage counseling isn't working."
I could tell he was trying to be extra nice and he put in a lot of effort. This lasted a couple of weeks and then I felt the distance again. I got the feeling she was back in the picture. Last week I checked our home phone records. She called my house and talked to him for 2 and a half hours while I was out having a team dinner with my co-workers. WTF!!! Then they talked for another hour and a half the next night.
I confronted him again. He blows it off again saying I don't give him attention.... She just needs someone to talk to. blah blah blah. Well now I am making him sleep on the couch. I suggested that he leave and that I need time to myself. He won't leave and I don't feel that I should have to.
Now he's sort of doing nice stuff for me... like going for walks with me and stuff (he used to not want to have anything to do with that).
I'm so confused. I love him, but now I feel like I have a roommate that is dating someone else. Its the weirdest most difficult thing I've ever been through.
Help! I need some advice. Is our 10 years of marriage really over?
Do not allow him to continue with disrespecting you. You need to back away from him physically and emotionally. He will continue to make you depress and stress you out. Give him time to think about his actions.
Pray and prepare yourself to the changes that are going on in your life. If it is meant for you and your husband of 10 years to be together, you will be together. However, sometimes things are brought to the light so you can see what is going on around you . This allows you grow emotionally, spiritually and pyschologically,
I am currently remarried to my best friend in the whole world. I was once on depression medication and I couldn't get the engine to turn over in bed. HATED IT!! It was messing with what is so beautiful between myself and my husband. We had it in the beginning and we have always had it. I wasn't going to let some medication tear my marriage to bits in the bedroom.
Some questions to ask yourself: Do you love him? Does he love you? What are the reasons you are on meds? Can you find a different way of handling your depression?, ie, working out, diet, therapy? I was on meds because of some serious stuff my preteen had gotten into and she moved away from me to live with her father. The sadness is temporary and then you learn to get past it.
What I am getting at is I couldn't function in the bedroom on the meds... huge problem. My marriage was more important so I tried to find a way to work around it. After a week of dropping the meds, the orgasms came back...thank you Jesus!!
One thing is for sure.... not be sexist, biast or anything like that.... men need sex. Not just for sex but for love.... it is a CRUCIAL part of them...very important. I am in a very happy marriage and when it goes a week or so.... things start to build, it is an unseen frustration. I want my husband to come to me when he needs it.... this is where we began.
Where did you begin? Can you get back there? If there have been underlying problems from the get go and this is why you are on meds.... then yes, evaluate your situation. But if you and your husband haven't had sex for as long as you can remember.... then the ball falls in your court sweetie. He needs you....
AND GRANTED.... it is not a reason for him to cheat, verbally or physically.... but this is why he is reaching to others.
You need to talk ... both of you.... if you sincerely took an effort on "your" part as well and he could see that you "wanted" him.... "needed" him and that "he" was important to you.... you might see a huge change.
Maybe he is looking for that "ray" of hope as well. Is he doing all of the nice things...? are you expecting him to do it all? When a marriage fails... it takes 2 parties... I had a failed marriage once..... it is awful. I was also a guilty party.
So, don't misunderstand... but if there was love in the beginning... and there is still love now, you will "both" have to take steps forward to get it back.... this is not a one way deal.
AND YES.... he needs to CUT HER OFF....PERIOD!! It is only getting in the way of putting this back together. But you have to try too.... he can't do it by himself.
GO GET HIM!!! Don't let somebody else take your man from you!!!
Much love!
These type of people are generally (IMHO) only concerned with how they feel and what they want. Every marriage has problems - our sex life however was never the problem. So, good sex life or not .. affairs happen and when people are looking - there is always someone to fill that gap.
I am very sorry you have had to go through this, but my advice to you would be to cut your losses early on and get out while you still can. Cheaters do not change .. and most likely he will cheat with the "new" woman as soon as the relationship becomes boring.
In my opinion, part of the problem with our society is that everything is "easy" and that no one takes responsibility. We are stuck in social adolescence versus the evolution and maturity that comes to those who grow together.
I say get out! RUN! and take the time to build your life without the necessity of a man. That way when the time is right and you are ready to meet someone who will uplift and cherish you, you will be ready!
Love & Light to you,
End your marriage. No man is worth what he is putting you through. He has no remorse and may be incapable of it.
He is also trying to make YOU the guilty party. Enough is enough. Being alone is MUCH better than being a doormat. Trust me Sweetlady. I KNOW what I am talking about. I went through the same thing.
Staying together for kids, finances or fear of being alone are NOT reasons to stay in a marriage.
A divorce will give you the emotional distance you need to heal. It will also force him to begin respecting you again if he is capable. Maybe he never did, that I do not know.
You will heal from this.
There is a great book out there by Melodie Beatty...Codependent No More. I suggest you read it and re-read it. You will not like it when you recognize yourself in the pages...but it will help you to see the whole picture a little clearer. That will helop to give you the leverage you need to create change in YOUR life.
You will not heal overnight but if you make the decision now that you can....you will feel a difference once you commit to standing your ground.!
Do NOT give him anymore chances. YOU move forward and BE STRONG.
You are enabling him to pull you into his problem. Wash your hands of HIS problem and focus on yourself, your family and your future and making all three of those areas the best you can.
Make a decision to seek counseling for yourself...leave him out of it altogether. ONLY talk to your counselor or Preacher about what you are going through. Leave your friends out of it.
Only you can help yourself.
If you and your husband are meant to be together it will happen. You need distance now; Not him or any other man for that matter.
And...despite what he says....The other woman has no plans to step away from him and he does not want her to.
Trust me...you will feel whole again and that pain will vanish. YOU WILL ALSO FIND COMFORT IN TIME. Time heals!
As I said, I have been through it all.

Washington hopes to make it two losses for Falcons
The Falcons (8-1) are coming off their first loss of the season, a disappointing 31-27 performance against the New Orleans Saints.
The poor showing by Atlanta makes a Cardinal victory appear possible. Linebacker Daryl Washington is hopeful that his team can make the Falcons' loss more than a one-time thing.
"Hopefully it can be two consecutive losses," Washington said. "Hopefully we can go up there and get a win. It is going to be a crazy and hostile environment."
Even though the Cardinals have just one win on the road this season, it came in a nail biter against the New England Patriots.
"We can win (on the east coast). Every game is important, every game you can win it or lose it," Washington said. "What we want to do right now is just get one win, take it one win at a time."
The Cardinals have not won in Atlanta since 1993 and were thoroughly embarrassed by the Falcons during their last visit in 2008, a 41-7 blowout.
In order to get that win, Washington feels the defense needs to stay true to themselves and execute.
"We have to just stay sound in what we are doing with are technique and making plays we know we can make," Washington said. "That is all you can do as a defense. Go out there and play as hard as you can, use your technique and play discipline football."

Update, May 16, 7 p.m.
CAUGHT: 'Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker' Arrested in Philadelphia
Original story, May 16, 2 p.m.
CLARK, NJ -- Police are on the hunt for an Internet celebrity identified as the suspect in the homicide of Clark attorney Joseph Galfy, Jr., 73.
Authorities are searching for Caleb Lawrence McGillvary, 24, better known as Internet sensation "Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker" on YouTube and Facebook. (Video here - warning, contains profanity.)
McGillvary became an Internet sensation in February: After saving a woman by smashing her attacker in the head with his hatchet, McGillvary's offbeat personality in an interview made for a YouTube video that garnered nearly 4 million views. He also recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
UPDATE: At a Thursday afternoon press conference, Union County Prosecutor Theodore J. Romankow revealed new details about the alleged murder, explaining that Galfy picked up McGillvary in Times Square on Saturday, May 11, and that McGillvary stayed overnight at Galfy's home on Starlite Drive before leaving for Asbury Park on Sunday.
Romankow says McGillvary returned to Galfy's home later on Sunday and allegedly committed the murder. McGillvary then left and traveled to Asbury Park, Philadelphia and Glassboro, where he met up with two of his fans, who are providing information to police. For a full timeline of McGillvary's whereabouts and additional details from Thursday's press conference, read:
McGillvary was last seen in Haddonfield, where he boarded a train to Philly, and is believed to be heading south, possibly to Georgia. Based on the investigation, authorities know that McGillvary has cut his hair in an attempt to alter his appearance. He is considered to be armed and dangerous.
In a Tuesday post on his Facebook page, McGillvary alleges that he was drugged, raped and ejaculated on and asks readers, "what would you do?" One commenter suggests that McGillvary use his hatchet, to which McGillvary replied "i like your idea."
McGillvary is homeless but considers himself "homefree," and relies on the generosity of strangers for food, lodging and transportation, said Romankow. He is also known as Kai Lawrence, Caleb Kai Lawrence and Kai Nicodemus.
Galfy was found inside his home on Starlite Drive on May 13 after officers were called to the residence for a welfare check. An autopsy performed the following day determined that Galfy died as a result of blunt force trauma. Galfy was found in his bedroom in underwear and socks, severely beaten.
Referring to Galfy, a neighbor said, "He was a real nice guy as far as I know. He would wave hi and goodbye and was very friendly. He has lived there at least 15 years, first with his partner, who died about five years ago. As far as I know, he was the only one living there now."
The Union County Homicide Task Force is working with local, state and federal officials to locate McGillvary, who has been charged with murder. Bail has been set at $3 million by state Superior Court Judge Stuart Peim.
The Union County Crime Stoppers unit is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to the arrest of McGillvary. All tips are kept anonymous and may be called into a special number related to this case: 908-219-6735 or the main line at (908) 654-TIPS (8477), www.uctip.org, or text UCTIP plus a message 274637.

Panitumumab, Docetaxel, Cisplatin, Radiation Therapy, and Surgery in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed, Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer or Cancer of the Gastroesophageal Junction
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to kill tumor cells or stop them from growing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with panitumumab and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving panitumumab together with docetaxel, cisplatin, radiation therapy, and surgery works in treating patients with newly diagnosed, locally advanced esophageal cancer or cancer of the gastroesophageal junction.
Adenocarcinoma of the Gastroesophageal Junction
Esophageal Cancer
Biological: panitumumab
Drug: cisplatin
Drug: docetaxel
Procedure: neoadjuvant therapy
Procedure: therapeutic conventional surgery
Radiation: radiation therapy
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant Therapy With Cisplatin, Docetaxel, Panitumumab Plus Radiation Therapy Followed by Surgery in Patients With Locally Advanced Adenocarcinoma of the Distal Esophagus
- Complete pathologic tumor response [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Near-complete response rate (≤ 10% residual cancer in primary tumor viable) [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Overall survival [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Disease-free survival [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Adverse events [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|January 2009
|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
- To determine the pathologic complete response rate in patients with newly diagnosed, locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus or gastroesophageal junction treated with neoadjuvant panitumumab and combination chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery.
- To determine the near-complete pathologic response rate in the primary tumor (≤ 10% residual viable cancer).
- To determine the overall survival and disease-free survival rates of these patients.
- To determine the safety profile of this regimen.
OUTLINE: Patients receive panitumumab IV over 1 hour, docetaxel IV over 1 hour, and cisplatin IV over 1-2 hours on day 1 in weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Patients also undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week beginning in week 5 and continuing for 5.5 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 6-9 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients with no evidence of metastatic disease undergo esophagectomy.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year OR every 6 months for 3 years.

What exactly creates high and low pressure...and is there a tendency for one to be found more frequently during certain times of the year?
High pressure is generated by sinking air, low pressure by rising air. They can be generated on a very small scale by air rising from heated pavement (you see hawks soaring in these thermals) or cold air moving down a mountainside into a valley (why the coldest temperatures are found in such places). Highs and lows can be generated on a much bigger scale by the large scale circulation of the atmosphere. The same basic principles (sinking air/high pressure, rising air/low pressure) apply. In terms of locations, high pressure is most commonly found on a global scale in the tropics and over/near the poles...low pressure over the equator and in what we call the mid-latitudes...essentially spanning the continental U.S. Highs and lows in this zone (the mid-latitudes) tend to shift; for example in the Pacific Northwest, high pressure is most common during the summer and early autumn months, low pressure in the late autumn and winter months.

Three weeks down, seven to go in the high school football regular season.
As with most years, there are some teams that have forged to the top and some that have struggled. There has also been a sprinkling of surprises.
There are seven area squads that are 3-0.
Penn Cambria, Richland and Somerset top the Laurel Highlands with spotless records. From the WestPAC, Berlin Brothersvalley, Blacklick Valley and Windber are all unbeaten while Ligonier Valley and surprising Homer-Center are undefeated in the Heritage.
Among all of the undefeated squads, both of the Rams squads have scored the most points. Ligonier Valley has accrued 159 points and Richland has 135.
Defensively, Ligonier allowed its first points of the season with the 15 that Blairsville scored against them last Friday, but Penn Cambria has given up just seven points in the Panthers' first three games.
Forest Hills, 2-1, has had two shutouts and allowed just 10 points in its loss to Bishop McCort while North Star has given up 20 points.
The Mountaineers defense has yielded 21 points and the Golden Eagles have given up 27 points.
There are still eight area teams looking for those elusive first wins.
Among the surprises have been some of the squads that were flying under the radar, including Somerset and Portage.
The Golden Eagles victory over Bishop McCort was their first over the Crimson Crushers in 23 meetings and added an impressive legitimacy to their 3-0 record.
The 2-1 Mustangs opened many eyes with their Week 1 victory at North Star over the Cougars, who were touted as preseason favorites in the WestPAC.
Northern Cambria got off to a strong start with its Week 1 victory over Penns Manor, but stumbled against the Wildcats the second week before getting back on track against United.
The Colts will face a huge challenge this week against Blairsville, which held its own for a time against Ligonier Valley last week.
The brother combination of sophomore quarterback Scott Thompson to older sibling Bobby has helped the Bobcats to their 2-1 record.
Bishop Guilfoyle has also raised some eyebrows with its 2-1 record and has a meeting with Forest Hills this week.
In terms of district rankings, Somerset is just behind unbeaten Clearfield in District 6 Class AAA while Penn Cambria is tied with Bald Eagle Area atop District 6-AA followed by Richland and Ligonier.
In the very competitive District 6 Class A battle, the top four teams are all unbeaten with Juniata Valley sitting on top, followed by Bellwood-Antis, the Wildcats and the Vikings.
State College and DuBois are both 3-0 In Class AAAA.
In District 5 Class A, Northern Bedford sits on top at 3-0 followed by the Mountaineers and the Ramblers. In Class AA, Chestnut Ridge is 1-2 while Bedford and Everett are each 0-3.
Finishing what they started: Ferndale will head back to Conemaugh Valley at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday so the teams can complete their Week 1 contest.
The game was called because of lightning with the Blue Jays leading 40-18. There was 7:35 remaining in the third quarter.
Both teams are 0-2.
