Steve Scalise on Energy & Oil
Republican Representative (LA-1)
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Young, R-AK]: The Americans suffering from $4 a gallon gas today must feel like they're experiencing a sense of deja vu. In 2008, when gasoline prices reached a record high of $4.11 per gallon, the public outcry forced Congress to act. That fall, Congress lifted the offshore drilling ban that had been in place for decades. Three years later, most Americans would likely be shocked to learn that no energy development has happened in these new areas.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Markey, D-MA]. In the first 3 months of this year, Exxon-Mobil made $10 billion off of the American consumer; Shell made $8 billion; BP made $7 billion. So what are these companies asking for? These companies are now asking that we open up the beaches of California, Florida & New England to drill for oil. People who live near those beaches don't want oil coming in the way it did in the Gulf of Mexico. Right now, those oil companies are centered down in the Gulf of Mexico. People are concerned because those companies have blocked any new safety reforms that would protect against another catastrophic spill. We have to oppose this bill because, first of all, they already have 60 million acres of American land that they haven't drilled on yet, which has about 11 billion barrels of oil underneath it and an equivalent amount of natural gas. This bill is just a giveaway to Exxon-Mobil and Shell.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill is a direct assault on the Clean Air Act. Its premise is that climate change is a hoax and carbon pollution does not endanger health and welfare. But climate change is real. It is caused by pollution, and it is a serious threat to our health and welfare. We need to confront these realities. American families count on the EPA to keep our air and water clean. But this bill has politicians overruling the experts at EPA, and it exempts our biggest polluters from regulation. If this bill is enacted, the EPA's ability to control dangerous carbon pollution will be gutted.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. ED MARKEY (D, MA-7): For the first time in the history of our country, we will put enforceable limits on global warming pollution. At its core, however, this is a jobs bill. It will create millions of new, clean-energy jobs in whole new industries with incentives to drive competition in the energy marketplace. It sets ambitious and achievable standards for energy efficiency and renewable energy from solar, wind, geothermal, biomass so that by 2020, 20% of America's energy will be clean.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. BOB GOODLATTE (R, VA-6): I agree that this bill has very important consequences, but those consequences are devastating for the future of the economy of this country. It's a fantasy that this legislation will turn down the thermostat of the world by reducing CO2 gas emissions when China & India & other nations are pumping more CO2 gas into the atmosphere all the time. We would be far better served with legislation that devotes itself to developing new technologies before we slam the door on our traditional sources of energy like coal and oil and and nuclear power. We support the effort for energy efficiency. We do not support this kind of suicide for the American economy. Unfortunately, cap and trade legislation would only further cripple our economy.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes: Rep. RICHARD NEAL (D, MA-2): This bill contains extensions of popular tax incentives that expired at the end of last year. This needs to get under way. The R&D tax credit is important. This bill includes a number of popular and forward-thinking incentives for energy efficiency. This is a very balanced bill which does no harm to the Federal Treasury. It asks that hedge fund managers pay a bit more, and it delays an international tax break that hasn't gone into effect yet. It is responsible legislation.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. DAVE CAMP (R, MI-4): We are conducting another purely political exercise on a tax bill that is doomed in the other body because of our House majority's insistence on adhering to the misguided PAYGO rules. The Senate acted on a bipartisan basis to find common ground on this issue. They approved a comprehensive tax relief package containing extenders provisions that are not fully offset, as many Democrats would prefer, but contain more offsets than Republicans would like. Why is this our only option? Because the Senate, which has labored long and hard to develop that compromise, has indicated in no uncertain terms that it is not going to reconsider these issues again this year.
[The bill was killed in the Senate].
Congressional Summary: A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide Tax incentives for energy production and conservation, to extend certain expiring provisions, and to provide individual income tax relief.
Opponents argument for voting NAY: Sen. SPECTER: H.R. 6049 would revive important tax provisions that expired at the end of 2007 and extend provisions that are set to expire at the end of 2008. I support extension of the R&D tax credit, the renewable energy tax incentives, and many other important provisions in this package.
Despite the positive elements of this legislation, the main sticking point is whether temporary extensions of tax relief should be offset with permanent tax increases elsewhere. The White House issued a statement recommending a Presidential veto of this bill in its current form. [Vote NAY to] allow the Senate to work its will and pass legislation that can be quickly signed by the President.
No Climate Tax Pledge: "I pledge to the taxpayers of my state, and to the American people, that I will oppose any legislation relating to climate change that includes a net increase in government revenue."

AFP believes reducing the size and intrusiveness of government is the best way to promote individual productivity and prosperity for all Americans.
The House Committee on Energy and Commerce has operated continuously--with various name changes and jurisdictional changes--for more than 200 years. The Committee has developed what is arguably the broadest (non-tax-oriented) jurisdiction of any Congressional committee. Today, it maintains principal responsibility for legislative oversight relating to telecommunications, consumer protection, food and drug safety, public health, air quality and environmental health, the supply and delivery of energy, and interstate and foreign commerce in general. This jurisdiction extends over five Cabinet-level departments and seven independent agencies--from the Department of Energy, Health and Human Services, the Transportation Department to the Federal Trade Commission, Food and Drug Administration, and Federal Communications Commission--and sundry quasi-governmental organizations.
Congressional Summary of H.R.97:
Congressional Summary of H.R.153, "Ensuring Affordable Energy Act":
OnTheIssues Explanation:These two related bills exclude the EPA from taking on global warming by defining greenhouse gases as a "pollutant." These bills do not directly oppose regulating greenhouse gases nor cap-and-trade; either could still be accomplished by an act of Congress. Instead, they REQUIRE an act of Congress, rather than letting the President and the EPA bypass Congress by regulatory implementation instead of legislative implementation.

A New Kind of Single Serve Coffee: Convenience with a Conscience
Single serve coffee is the fastest growing segment in the coffee market today. Even though the consumer gets a high quality, cost-effective cup of gourmet drip coffee, many have voiced stark criticism about the blind eye that is being turned toward the environmental impact of the trend. Keurig, owned by Green Mountain Coffee, is the driving force behind this burgeoning market segment. This year alone over 5 billion Keurig K-Cups will be sold, used and then discarded by consumers. Most of those non-biodegradable plastic-and-foil K-Cups will end up in our landfills.
Eko Brands, LLC is a Seattle based company determined to be ecologically responsible in the single-serve coffee segment. Because of this conviction, the Ekobrew, a reusable filter for use with Keurig single cup coffee brewing devices, was born.
Eko Brands, LLC was created by businesspeople with over 22 years in the coffee industry. Eko Brands also produced Ekojava, a single-serve coffee packet. The packets offer a gourmet coffee alternative with a significantly reduced carbon footprint and can be used not only with most single serve brewing devices but multi-cup coffee makers/brewers as well.
At Eko Brands we don't care if consumers use our Ekojava coffee packets or their own favorite coffee in the Ekobrew unit. By design and intent, both Ekobrew and Ekojava are viable as stand alone products. The main thrust of both products is to reduce the environmental impact of single-serve coffee consumption without compromising convenience or quality. The future looks bright not because of our innovation at Eko Brands, but because people are increasingly aware of their daily consumption choices and are making more responsible decisions.
Eko Brands plans to introduce additional earth-friendly, single-serve products in the near future.

EAST GREENWICH – The wait was worth it.
After three-and-a-half hours of baseball, the East Greenwich Junior Division All-Stars beat Narragansett 16-7 at East Greenwich High School in a game that was stopped one inning short due to darkness, moving the team to the losers' bracket semifinal Monday against Westerly at the Trombino Complex at 5 p.m.
"We plan on going all the way to the districts and beyond," EG coach Neil Fraden said. "We got off to a bad start but that's behind us. We've got a really good team and we put a really good game together."
It started with the offense.
By PAUL J. SPETRINI
NORTH KINGSTOWN—Ed Tarbox stands on the showroom floor of his brand-new car dealership on Quaker Lane in North Kingstown Friday afternoon and, for a moment, pondered all the obstacles he had to overcome during the past nine years to make the 49,000-square foot complex a reality.
It is the day before the official grand opening celebration.

I was going to try and say Broner should stay at his weight by then i seen who was in Jr welterweight and my decision is already changed. He needs to move up pronto and take thats division.
Rios, Judah, Marquez, Khan, Matthysse, and Garcia?!?! dammmmmm those are all prizefights with broner fighting them. I dont want to say i see Broner beating and dominating all of them. He easiest of them all would be khan. Then probably judah or garcia. I cant look down on marquez, he could get dominated, but he is bigger/better than he was against mayweather so its up in the air. Rios impressed me his last fight, i'm not going to lie, but if anyone is beating him, its Broner, I wont be surprised if i see broner get cracked good a few times either. Matthysse i think is the toughest of them all, no joke. This fight could go either way, the one i want to see the most because im not sure.
Or if he didnt move up he could wait and fight Gamboa, Russell jr, and donaire.
If he was a real OG double OG triple OG. He fights all the names listed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , i wouldnt be mad at that.

The two lasting images from Fernando Torres' time at ChelseaBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle56 mins ago
It's finally happening. Chelsea have announced that Fernando Torres will move to Milan on an unusual two-year loan deal that will take the Spaniard who has been the subject of all of the world's jokes, pity, hand-wringing and hope since joining the club in January 2011. The loan will take him to the end of the five and a half year contract he signed upon joining Chelsea in a then British record £50 million deal.
Torres' time at Chelsea began with a run of 903 minutes minutes without a goal that finally ended when he scored against West Ham three months after making the move from Liverpool and leaving their fans feeling unforgivably betrayed. Goals were like Loch Ness Monster sightings during his time at Chelsea — rare, exciting and never believed by those who heard about them second hand. But trophies and attempts to rationalize his sudden fall from being one of the most feared strikers in the world to one of the most spectacularly ineffective proved confoundingly common.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's expert analysis of the Champions League group stage drawBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle14 hrs ago
The 2014/15 Champions League group stage draw has been completed and this time it is personal. For Zlatan. This is interesting to me because I am Zlatan.
Before I begin Zlanalyzing the groups, I must make something clear. This will be the year that Zlatan finally wins the Champions League. And if not this year, then next year. And if not next year, then the Champions League must be renamed to the League of Lies, because if the ultimate champion goes his whole career without winning it, then it was clearly never actually for real champions. I have spoken about this with Arsene Wenger and he is in total Zlagreement. But this is definitely the year that I will win it. Not even David Luiz can stop me.
Group A
Atletico Madrid Juventus Olympiacos Malmo
Zlatan Zlays: This group includes two of Zlatan's former clubs and four that now live in fear of Zlatan. Last season was very magical for Atletico, winning La Liga and reaching the Champions League final, but when you use up all your magic spray at once, there is nothing left but pain or the awkward moment when you must stop pretending to be injured without the aid of magic spray. This is a Zlientific fact.
Karim Benzema drives his €2 million chrome Bugatti Veyron to training because he's gotta drive it somewhereBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle20 hrs ago
Not to be outdone by teammate Alvaro Arbeloa's super cool Morgan 3 Wheeler, Karim Benzema arrived at Real Madrid's training complex in his black and chrome Bugatti Veyron, which costs roughly €2 million. He documented the occasion on his Instagram account.
Benzema's car might have served a purpose beyond making everyone jealous, though. Cristiano Ronaldo once raced a Bugatti Veyron in a Nike commercial. Maybe Benzema was simply facilitating a rematch.

Nadine Kessler, Cristiano Ronaldo's museum win UEFA's Best Player in Europe awards
Cristiano Ronaldo's museum and Nadine Kessler are the recipients of the UEFA Best Player in Europe and Best Women's Player in Europe awards, respectively. Both are deserving first-time winners of the relatively new awards. But only one of them vowed to put their new trophy in a real museum dedicated entirely to themselves (again, it's Cristiano Ronaldo).
Ronaldo set a Champions League scoring record (17 goals) on his way to winning the tournament with Real Madrid last season and beating out Bayern's Manuel Neuer and Arjen Robben to the award.
"I'm really happy so I must say thanks to my team-mates because without the team, individual awards would not be possible," Ronaldo told the crowd in Monaco. "I don't have this trophy in my museum, so my brother is going to put it there."
Bafetimbi Gomis researched Swansea by playing as them on Football Manager before joining the club
When Bafetimbi Gomis left Lyon at the end of last season, he prepared to join Swansea City by researching the club and playing video games at the same time. Naturally, he did this by playing as Swansea in Football Manager.
From the Guardian:
We can only hope that Gomis introduced himself to his new teammates by informing those he sold off in his game upon meeting them in real life.
The next time someone asks you why you spend so much time playing video games, following Gomis' lead and just tell them that you're simply doing research for a career move. After all, if you're going to be the night security guard at Hull City's training ground, you need to have a comprehensive understanding of every player's attributes.

Western Sydney Wanderers accuse Guangzhou Evergrande fans of orchestrating bus accident before match
Western Sydney Wanderers eliminated 2013 AFC Champions League winners Guangzhou Evergrande in the quarterfinals of the 2014 tournament on a 2-2 aggregate score, despite losing the second leg 2-1 in China. Tomislav Juric's 59th minute penalty for Western Sydney to advance on away goals, but just making it to the stadium was something of a victory for the Australian side.
The Western Sydney players were subjected to the customary prank phone calls and pounding on their hotel room doors the night before the match, but they're also accusing some fans of Marcello Lippi's team of trying to orchestrate a traffic accident on the way to the stadium.
From SBS:
And defender Shannon Cole was even more certain of foul play than Hamill.
Whoever decided to bring the spare bus probably deserves to win Man of the Match. Misinterpreting Jose Mourinho's strategies has never worked out so well.

Goalkeeper gets sent off, defender makes two saves (and scores himself) in Champions League qualifying shootout
Bulgarian club Ludogorets qualified for the Champions League group stage in a way that has made all Hollywood films seem even more unimaginative than they already did.
Down 1-0 to Steaua Bucuresti after the first leg, Ludogorets scored a dramatic equalizer in the 89th minute of the second leg to force extra time. Neither side could score a deciding goal in the additional periods, but then something happened that would make this the Champions League qualifying playoff to end all Champions League qualifying playoffs.
Ludogorets goalkeeper Vladislav Stoyanov was sent off in the 118th minute. With penalties seeming inevitable, this was made into an even bigger problem by the fact that Ludogorets had already used all of their substitutions. So they were forced to make the move that immediately wins the support of all fans everywhere: having an outfield player put on the gloves and step into goal. And Romanian defender Cosmin Moti, who previously played for Dinamo Bucuresti, was that hero.
Malmo's Magnus Eriksson scores absurd looping volley from distance
Magnus Eriksson helped Malmo become the first Swedish club to reach the Champions League group stage since 2000 with a truly spectacular volley. It came in the 19th minute of Malmo's 3-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg and you really just have to see it to believe it.
Malmo advanced on an aggregate score of 4-2. Somewhere in Paris, Zlatan is either feeling very proud or slightly jealous of that goal.

Real Madrid's new third kit features two dragons that may or may not be having sex with each otherBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle2 days ago
Adidas unveiled Real Madrid's new black third kit to be worn during this season's Champions League campaign. It features two dragons who appear to be in the throes of coitus on the front of the shirt and it actually looks pretty great.
One of the intertwined mythical beasts is a dragon king, which is supposed to symbolize "the greatness, the glory and the power" of the reigning champions of Europe. The other is a dragon bird, " an animal that is able to relive in the most hostile situations" and "represents the clubs resistance, determination and agility on its way to the victory."
The images that prove third-division MK Dons actually beat Man United 4-0 in the Capital One CupBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle2 days ago
A day that was supposed to be full of pride for Manchester United with the acquisition of Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid for a British record fee ended up shrouded in embarrassment by a 4-0 loss to League One side MK Dons in the second round of the Capital One Cup. Winless in the Premier League through two matches and now eliminated from the League Cup, the start to Louis van Gaal's reign Man United is actually going worse than David Moyes' last season — something that scientists and pundits believed to be impossible.
Again, 20-time English top-flight champions Manchester United lost 4-0 to MK Dons — a team moved to a town that has only existed since 1967. This has actually happened in real life. And here are the images to prove it...

At the Beta Theta Pi house in Chapel Hill in the 1980s, the brothers typically focused on academics, sports, parties and girls.
Except some of the brothers were thinking about guys.
Terry Bowman was one of them. By his senior year, he had come to terms with his sexuality. Bowman started coming out shortly after graduation from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1985 and told some of his closest fraternity brothers in the year or two following graduation.
Each was straight. Their reaction was mixed. One told Bowman they could no longer be friends. When Bowman told another friend that he was gay, the confused brother said, "In what way?"
Bowman's closest Beta friend immediately told him that he loved him just as much as he had five minutes earlier. "His reaction was pretty advanced and evolved for that time period," Bowman told me.
About brotherhood
Bowman, now 51, is executive director in the New York region for a nonprofit that encourages low-income kids to become entrepreneurs. Bowman and I are fraternity brothers and lived in the Beta house on South Columbia Street in 1982 and '83. Bowman, a prestigious Morehead Scholar, was thoughtful, curious, good-natured and well-liked.
I thought of him when the spring edition of the national Beta Theta Pi Magazine reported on a survey of 2,250 undergraduate Betas across the country. The survey included questions about race, religion, politics, economic background and sexual orientation. "To be clear, this article isn't about creating or obstructing diversity," the magazine wrote. "This is about brotherhood."
In the national survey of Betas, 60 percent said at least one of their brothers is gay or bisexual, and 6.5 percent reported being gay or bisexual. Chase Furr, a junior from High Point who is president of the UNC Beta chapter, told me that none of the current brothers is openly gay. How would the chapter react if a brother came out? "There might be a little shock, a little question at first, but I think we would completely rally around him," Furr said.
A need to belong
Bowman, who is from Winston-Salem, was the first in his family to go to college. He joined a fraternity because he felt a need to belong. "My desire to be in a fraternity was as much about being a working-class kid as anything else," he said.
He lived at the Beta house for three years. Many of the brothers from more affluent families had experiences he hadn't had, such as traveling. He embraced fraternity life, which he said was "just a hell of a lot of fun. I never looked back and never regretted it. It was a very valuable growing experience for me."
While some of his fraternity brothers turned away from him in the 1980s, that has changed. The brother who told him they could no longer be friends eventually wrote him to apologize. When Bowman sees his straight brothers now, he is greeted warmly, as he was at a gathering in Chapel Hill a few years ago. "The world has changed in ways that are so much more dramatic than we ever could have imagined," Bowman said.
Nearly 30 years since graduation, Bowman remains close to some of his fraternity brothers. For so many of us, the friendships we formed as young adults are among our deepest, most enduring alliances, the relationships that help carry us through a lifetime of joys and disappointments.
"There was something about some of the friendships from those days," Bowman said, "that prevailed through everything." His old friends realized he's the same guy he always was.

With the tax deadline just around the corner, the pressure is on for procrastinators who still haven't filed their taxes - and if you're one of those people struggling to get your papers in, financial professional Scott Maxwell from Talis Advisors is here with a few last-minute tax tips to help.
Q: Let's get everyone on the same page - what is the actual deadline for filing your taxes?
A: You have until Tuesday, April 15th at to send in your tax return. Whether you are filing by snail mail or online, remember you have to have your return postmarked or time-stamped by 11:59pm. I recommend my clients file their returns electronically. That will help you avoid those long lines at the post office, and you'll get your return quicker, too.
Q: What would you tell someone who has procrastinated until now - what is the #1 thing they should focus on when they're putting their taxes together?
(Graphic #1)
A: Just get it right – two of the most common mistakes on tax returns are listing an incorrect Social Security number or doing your math wrong. These mistakes are completely avoidable, but sometimes in the last-minute rush, people overlook them. Make sure to double-check because these errors can cost you money in your tax refund or flag you for an audit.
Q: When should you ask for an extension?
A: A lot of people think that filing an extension is a bad thing - but it is not 'frowned upon' by the IRS. In fact, they prefer that people ask for an extension so they can get it right the first time. If you can't get all of your paperwork together by the deadline, an extension will give you an extra 6 months to file. But, remember if you owe taxes, you still need to pay them by April 15th. So, make your best estimate and make sure you get your return filed by October 15th.
Q: Is there a fee for filing an extension?
A: Basically, there are two penalties the IRS charges fees for: a late filing fee and a late payment fee. If you file an extension and you get your return in within 6 months, you may still get hit with the late payment fee, but you can avoid the late filing fee altogether.
Q: What is the biggest pitfall of waiting to file?
A: If you are expecting a refund, you'll have to wait longer to get your money. The longer you wait to file, the longer it takes the IRS to process your return. You can get your money quicker by e-filing and using direct deposit. Direct deposit is also a safer way to get your money because your check isn't sitting in your mailbox.
Once you've filed you can track your refund through the IRS - I've put a link on my website talisadvisors.com.

According to Loopy, Veto and I will one day welcome you into our family. In my mind's eye I visualize the two of you strolling as above, only Loopy's head will retain it's normal size and perhaps you will see clear to lose the sailor hat. We already have one adrift sailor in our landlocked hometown and I wouldn't want to see you have to compete with Dan. That aside, I have no doubt that you will be a good match for our most dear and precious Loopy and that you have been raised well and come from a good family and it will all work out just fine.
I would like to mention to you a few things about your future wife that you would be advised to stuff under your captain's hat for future reference. No doubt this information will enable you to transition to married life smoothly.
Loopy is the kindest and most soft-hearted girl, but she is... how shall I put this... finnicky. You may have to learn to subsist on a diet of mac and cheese, plain pizza and Lucky Charms. Of course, if you were to suggest one of your most favourite foods to her, say, broccoli or spinach, she would gladly make an effort to expand her repertoire. You are quite likely the only person on earth that could persuade her to ingest vegetables at this time.
That brings me to the most important part of all: Loopy is no pushover. She has been raised with the Saucy Relationship Philosophy. Let me share the first lesson with you.
There are two kinds of girls: bags of chips and dessert. The bag of chips is very easy for a boy to get hold of, and it's not really that good for him. It ruins his dinner, is filled with sodium and fat and holds absolutely no food value whatsoever. Your mother doesn't want you to consume bags of chips, hence your purity ring.
Dessert, while somewhat high in calories... some might even say labour-intensive or also known as a treat, is a reward that comes when a good boy like yourself eats a good and balanced meal. You must prepare in advance to be eligible to receive a portion of dessert. And even if you are eligible for dessert, you may not gorge upon it and you will certainly appreciate it after eating all that spinach and broccoli... do you get my point here, son?
So while it is tempting to gorge on salty snacks and ruin your appetite for the hard work of preparing and consuming a balanced meal, the reward in doing so is to be presented with the most delicate and sweet dessert possible.
In short, of all the baking I have done in my entire life, Loopy is my finest to date. If you were so lucky as to make her acquaintance, fall in love with her at first site (and that is your destiny I am told), you would be the luckiest young man alive. So treat her with the respect one shows a masterful creme brulee, but know that she is one tough cookie. She will return the affection in kind.
And lastly, would you and your brothers please record a cover of the 1980's Joe Jackson song, "Is She Really Going Out With Him?", I think you should every single time it pops up on my iPod.

Anger is the right and just response to inequity and inaction. When people of color express anger regarding the racism they have experienced, the worst thing white people can do in response is shrug off those stories in an attempt to return to our emotional comfort zone.
On The Blog
Over the past three weeks there have been four separate incidents that have led to the deaths of four unarmed black men at the hands of police. ... Each incident serves as a reminder that as a black man in America, my life holds little to no value in the eyes of the general public.
But I thought it would be helpful to share a few thoughts how churches, Christians, and leaders can be engaging the events of this past 11 days in their respective churches – now and in the future.
If military action needs to be taken to protect civilians from further ISIS aggression, it should be multilateral not unilateral. American leadership no doubt will remain important, but the authorization for any forceful measures must come from the Security Council.
As a Christian I march because of verses like Isaiah 1:17, which instructs us to, "learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow." and Proverbs 31:8-9, which states, "Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy."
We need to (re)learn to be more human. And most importantly, remind yourself that YOU are loved. Not just merely by your loved ones but also by the ONE who created all that is good and beautiful.
What I came to discover is how much the world craves a listening ear. The biggest problem I have with evangelizing is that you enter into a relationship with a prescribed intention, and that stands in the way of listening well.
The fact is, violence has not only failed to create stability, in many ways it has acted to exacerbate the situation of instability and injustice which fuels terrorism. Violence does not stop violence, instead it causes it to escalate like a wildfire burning out of control.
According to a recent LifeWay Research poll of 1,000 Protestant pastors, 74 percent misjudge how prevalent sexual and domestic violence is within their congregations.

SuperCamp was one of the greatest learning experiences of my life, aside from being the greatest camp experience I've ever had. I went to the camp in California. (SuperCamp is offered at a number of places including Westfield State College in Massachusetts.) Arriving at camp that first day it was as though I had entered a temporary family. I was pretty nervous, being 3000 miles from home and not knowing anyone, but I was made to feel right at home by both the counselors and campers.
Memorizing lists by singing them as the lyrics of my favorite songs seemed like it wouldn't work, but it did! There are so many little tricks which I picked up that have helped me speed up the time it takes to do my homework - while increasing the quality of my work.
Rope climbing and tight rope walking helped me dig down inside myself and overcome my fears: to try to do those things that are more challenging for me. The most influential things that SuperCamp taught me were that I am a good kid and that what I do can make a difference not just for myself, but for other people. SuperCamp helped me to become aware of my strengths and how to use them to overcome my weaknesses and excel. The friends I made at camp were among the best I've ever had. After two years, I still keep in touch with one of my counselors.
I have been accepted by two very good colleges and feel that SuperCamp played a very important part in those acceptances. SuperCamp showed me who I am, how to utilize my abilities and to set goals. I learned to set goals to "go for" each day. Not only was it a great learning experience, it was the most fun summertime trip. Thank you, SuperCamp, for everything. n

Directed by Staller, the cast features Bryce Pinkham (Blunchli), Charlotte Parry (Raina), David Furr (Sergius), Tony winner George S. Irving (Petkoff), Cynthia Harris (Catherine), Marianna McClellan (Louka) and Jeff Ronan (Nicola). Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS executive director Tom Viola narrates.
The plot of the Shaw comedy, according to press notes, "follows a hunted soldier who, seeking refuge in a young lady's boudoir, starts in motion a series of highly engaging and unlikely comedic events. His unusual philosophies about love, war and life in general open up a world of thought she'd never previously entertained — certainly not with her dashing war-hero fiancée who also arrives unexpectedly."
Upcoming Project Shaw events include The Philanderer (Feb. 24); St. Patrick's Day Gala (March 17); An Oscar Wilde Evening (April 14); Heartbreak House (May 12); Getting Married (June 23); A 'Super Shaw' Evening (July 28); Village Wooing (Sept. 29); An Ibsen Evening (Oct. 27), The Millionairess (Nov. 24); and Major Barbara (Dec. 22).

Promoter Process Timeline(Updated: 1/13/2011)
Over the past year, the promoter submitted the entire permit application, in particular the race flyer, without any prior review with the Permit Coordinator (PC) or Chief Referee (CR). What always ends up happening is that the flyer gets revised multiple times and PC had to go through a very time consuming and manual process to get all the paperwork corrected online.
The process outlined in this document is aimed at allowing the PC, CR, and promoter adequate time to provide feedback and corrections prior to anything being submitted in the system.
While it is still acceptable for the promoter to submit the permit application paperwork online or by mail prior to the PC review, there could be unnecessary delays in allowing the flyer to be published or registration to be opened.
Race permit questions should be sent using the form contained in the website listed below and by selecting Race Permits in the category drop down box; for officials' questions, use the officials drop down box.
Timelines listed here are suggested guidelines. The earlier a promoter and PC/CR review the more time errors can be caught and corrected without delaying the permit process.
0) New Race Venues
If the race is held on a brand new course and CR is not assigned, contact the PC and Officials' Coordinator (OC) as soon as possible to determine if a venue inspection is required. If the promoter does not contact anyone and submits the permit application, there could be delays in approving the event.
1) At Least 9 – 8 Weeks before event
The promoter contacts the PC with a proposed race flyer. The PC will be reviewing the flyer for accuracy. (Appendix 2 and 4e – IMPORTANT!)
Additional notes from NCNCA:
All promoters should provide a physical address for the location of their registration tent or the cross streets at a minimum.
Promoters are encouraged to align race categories with BAR/BAT.
The PC will work with the promoter to make any corrections required on the race announcement. Once all major corrections are completed, the PC will forward the race announcement to the CR to check for accuracy and feasibility of the event. The PC will give the CR 24 to 48 hours to review and provide feedback to the PC.
In regards to the feasibility of the event, the CR may review with the promoter a preliminary event checklist. Having this ready to discuss will alleviate problems as race date gets closer. (Appendix 4b)
In the event that a race was not scheduled or reserved during the annual scheduling meeting or does not have a CR assigned, the OC will need at least 3-4 days to appoint a CR for the event. If a CR cannot be appointed within the 3-4 days, the PC or OC will be the backup permit reviewer. This step here assumes that both the PC and OC allow a new event to be scheduled or existing event on the calendar to be rescheduled. As of 2010, the following NCNCA policies apply for an event that was not reserved at the scheduling meeting:
1) No date can have two road races scheduled together without the approval of both the Officials Coordinator and the Permitting Coordinator. This would include a road race that is part of a stage race. (Passed by NCNCA board of directors on October 2010)
2) No date can have three of the same type of race (Criterium, Road Race, Time Trial) scheduled together without the approval of both the Officials Coordinator and the Permitting Coordinator. (Passed by NCNCA board of directors on October 2010)
3) All race schedule requests subsequent to the November 1st, 2010 Scheduling Meeting will require a deposit of $150 per race date. This fee is refundable once the event is held or if it is cancelled a minimum of sixty days prior to the event date. If an event is cancelled within sixty days of the event date then the deposit is forfeit. (Passed by NCNCA board of directors on October 2010)
When all corrections have been resolved on the race flyer, the PC will notify the promoter to submit the application online. (Appendix 3)
2) Sunday of Week 7 or Sunday of Week 3 before event
The promoter should submit the flyer and event permit application online even if the race flyer and event checklist are still being reviewed by the PC and CR to avoid the late fee-- $100 charge will be incurred if you submit your paperwork 6 weeks before event; a $150 late fee, 2 weeks before event.
For online applications, the promoter must print out, sign, and mail a contract to USAC. For mail applications late fee would apply based on when the PC receives the application. (Appendix 3)
3) When the PC receives the permit application online or by mail*, the PC will download a copy or scan all the paperwork and provide to the CR. Only the PC may notify the promoter that the event is approved and may publish the event flyer and open registration.The PC will also communicate to the NCNCA webmaster that a race event is approved, and the promoter can then provide the online registration link or flyer for publication on the NCNCA website. (Appendix 4)
When the CR receives the permit application paperwork, he/she should already or will be in active participation, planning and preparation with the promoter to ensure a successful event on race day.
* USA Cycling is strongly encouraging promoters to use online submissions for race permit applications. Paper applications incur a $25 paper filling fee.
Additional notes from NCNCA:
All races should open registration once a week to facilitate notifying membership on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM. Promoters should provide a registration link, pdf version of flyer, and which Tuesday registration will be opened provided that the PC has approved the event.
Note1: Failure to obtain approval before publishing a race announcement may result in a fine of up to $500. (Rule 1I2 as of 2010)
Note2: Opening an event to entry without the approval of the PC may result in revocation/denial of permit, suspension of organizer, and a fine up to the entire amount of prematurely accepted entry fees. (Rule 1G5 as of 2010)
Note3: Any changes to the race event after this step must be approved by the CR. A fine of up to $500 can be levied to the organizer for any unapproved changes. (Rule 1I4 as of 2010)
4) Once USA Cycling has receivedthe signed contract for online applications or the permit application by mail, the permit# will be issued and USAC will request for insurance certificates from the insurance company. The promoter and PC will be notified when this has been completed.
5) PC will notify the CRonce the permit# has been issued.
6) 1 - 2 weeks before event– If it has been determined that vehicles or motorcycles will be used for the event.The process is outlined here http://tinyurl.com/249nsck [2]
The promoter should work with their CR to determine out how many vehicles will be needed to safely run your race and if any of the vehicle operators will need the additional liability coverage above. The insurance forms must be received by USA Cycling no later than 7 days before your race. (Appendix 6 and 7)
Additional notes from NCNCA:
Where the centerline rule applies at a race, two race numbers are requiredfor both sides of a rider, unless finish line judging stand is on the left. (Passed by NCNCA board of directors on May 2010). One number should be placed on the side of the judges stand and the other number placed low on the back where it can be seen from behind.
7) 1 week before event
Promoter should get a race packet from USA Cycling. This packet will include paperwork a promoter will need for the race.
In the event that a promoter doesn't get the race packet from USA Cycling then it can be downloaded online. (Appendix 8)
8) After the Event
Within three days of the event, the CR of the race will submit all forms and checks to the PC who will collect and send to USAC. The promoter will submit a copy of the results to the BAR/BAT coordinator and to USAC online.
1) Promoters should familiarize themselves with USA Cycling insurance coverage and information can be found at: http://www.usacycling.org/forms/EventInsurance.pdf [3]
2) All promoters should understand the rules pertaining to promoting an event outlined in the sections below. Rules can be viewed at the following site: http://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=4220 [4]
Section 1D2(b). Qualifying Distances for each category
Section 1G. Organizing Races

6) Vehicle Insurance Forms
1. Non-owned/hired motorcycle application supplement (http://www.usacycling.org/forms/waiver.php?moto=1&url=non_owned_motorcycle.pdf [14]). This form is required if your race will be using motorcycles, and the motorcycle riders need liability insurance coverage. Many private insurance policies will not cover someone if they have an accident while involved in a contest of speed and or they are being paid for their services when the accident happens. Mostly this coverage will be required in road races where you have motorcycle officials and or marshals out on the road with the racers.
All motorcycle officials will require that a supplemental insurance being purchased. Be advised that if the insurance is not obtained for the motorcycle officials, the CR may warrant the event unsafe and cancel the race. Please work closely with the CR in a timely manner to get this paperwork completed. He/she will also help you provide the detailed motorcycle information for each driver required in the form.
2. Non-owned/hired auto application supplement (http://www.usacycling.org/forms/waiver.php?moto=1&url=non_owned_auto.pdf [15]). Just like with the motorcycle coverage above this coverage may be needed for people who are driving lead/follow vehicles in a race in the event their personal coverage doesn't cover them when they are involved in a contest of speed or acting as a vehicle for hire.

text: I agree with what you're saying about corporations abusing the system. But as far as my losing credibility, your post says you are posting from Adams, Ma. Last time I checked that's a very small town with a small population so therefore you are most likely very sheltered from seeing wide spread welfare abuse so you can not possibly argue my point when you don't see what I do on a daily basis. Furthermore I stated that tax money should be used for only what is was intended for....this does as far as I know include schools, police and fire departments.If you think you get no benefits from your taxes, you must not drive or have gone to school or needed a policeman or fireman, etc., etc., etc.. You lose alot of credibility when you say you see so many people driving around in Mercedes and Beamers. While there are abuses of the system, you can't really believe that most of the people on welfare live that well. If you want to complain about people who abuse the system, complain about the corporations that pay no taxes and get multi million dollar hand outs from the gov., they waste more of your money in a minute than does the welfare cheat in a year.

Town Square
Menlo council will review Stanford plan April 16

Don't be at all surprised if other developers now simply walk away from the zoo that is called the City of Menlo Park. MP is now a city without any credibility when it comes to zoning and planning - even thinking about removing parcels from the specific plan and moratoriums less than a year after the Specific Plan was adopted are clear signs of lunacy.
As for Stanford, I hope that they resubmit a plan which seeks NO public benefit bonuses and which therefore cannot be denied under the Specific Plan and which would not be subject to a council approved development agreement.
Residents of Menlo Park can look forward to lots of empty lots and empty stores and no increase in sales or property taxes from the Downtown area.

Memo from City Council to Planning Commission,
Sorry, but we don't trust you. Keep up the good work but don't make any important decisions. You have the necessary professional expertise but we are smarter than you are.

Suggested letter for Stanford to send to the Menlo Park City Council,
Dear Council,
Over the last five years Stanford has been an enthusiastic and supportive participant in the development of the Downtown Specific Plan. As noted in a recent staff report:
"The subject applicant, Stanford University, participated throughout the entire planning process, in particular by serving as a City Council-designated representative on the Oversight and Outreach Committee. In public correspondence and through remarks at meetings, the applicant repeatedly supported the community planning process and stated an intent to pursue a comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment proposal in compliance with the adopted Plan. At various points, the applicant provided detail-type critiques of some draft regulations and Draft EIR elements, but did not submit correspondence or make in-meeting remarks that committed to a particular type of future development proposal, nor did the Planning Commission or City Council make findings that their Plan-related actions were based on any particular assumption of what the applicant ultimately might propose on this site. "
After the Specific Plan was adopted by the council Stanford made a significant investment in a proposed development for our property in the ECR-East zone. That proposal included a number of public benefit provisions and was submitted to the city earlier this year. We subsequently met with the Planning Commission and also numerous neighbors and modified our proposal based on suggestions made in these discussions.
It now appears that the council is preparing to insert itself into the process at this stage in violation of the procedures established by the Specific Plan. Stanford does not wish to engage in months or even year longs debates on this project so we have decided to modify our proposal. As suggested in the Specific Plan Stanford has elected "to forgo the public benefit bonus because of perceived costs and risks." The modified project contains no public benefits and conforms entirely to the requirements of the Specific Plan. No public benefit bonus is being requested and no exceptions to the Specific Plan are being requested. Therefore, no development agreement is required and the city's review is limited to ensuring that the proposed development complies with the ECR-East zoning requirements.
As noted in the acknowledgment section of the Specific Plan:
"And the thousands of community members who did
the real work of the Specific Plan by providing direction
for their community for the next 20 to 30 years. Their
dedication to working in a constructive, collaborative way
to create a plan that will make our community the best it
can be is an admirable testament to our ability to achieve
the vision set forth in the Specific Plan."
Given that the modified plan fully conforms with the Specific Plan Stanford does not wish to engage in any discussions as to how the modified project can be further revised to meet the elusive demands of some who simply ignored this years long planning process.
We request that the city's review of the modified project plans be conducted expeditiously and without further deviation from the process defined in the Specific Plan.

Ambassador Gass, who is currently the British Ambassador to Iran, will take up his duties at the NATO Foreign Ministers' meeting in April.
"Ambassador Gass is a highly qualified diplomat who will bring a regional perspective to this important post," said the Secretary General. "He knows how important the civilian and political aspects of NATO's engagement in Afghanistan are, especially as Afghans start taking the lead for their own security in the first half of this year. At the same time, I want to thank Ambassador Mark Sedwill for his sterling work in strengthening the political component of our engagement in Afghanistan."
Ambassador Gass will represent the political leadership of the Alliance in Kabul both officially and publicly. The role of the SCR is to ensure that the governance and development work is closely coordinated with the security effort provided by NATO's International Security Assistance Force, ISAF.
"We are entering a period of transition in Afghanistan which will be critical for the country's stability and security. I look forward to working in partnership with the Afghan Government and other key actors to make a success of this challenging process so that the Afghan people can enjoy a more secure and prosperous future", said Ambassador Gass.

History of Piedmont College
Piedmont's Founding
In 1897, opening a college in the wilderness of northeast Georgia must have seemed to some like a prescription for failure. The area was accessible by few roads—mostly crude dirt strips paved with sapling trees. A narrow-gauge railroad did make a waterstop in the frontier town of Demorest, but it was laden with passengers and freight bound for points further north.
For a youthful band of entrepreneurs trying to forge a community of businesses, factories and schools in Demorest, however, a college was just what they needed. Under the direction of a Methodist minister, the Rev. Charles C. Spence, they obtained a charter from the State of Georgia, organized a board of trustees, bought books, hired a faculty, and secured space for classes and dormitories. On the first Wednesday of September 1897, amid much fanfare and ceremony, the opening exercises for the J.S. Green Collegiate Institute were held in downtown Demorest, and the entire student body, from first grade to college juniors, marched up the hill from the square to begin their studies.
What the detractors of the time failed to take into account was the thirst for knowledge that a small town like Demorest could harbor. As one early observer noted, the "students came in for miles around, some of them walking barefoot .... They came from the high ridges and hidden coves; they came from the little corn patches, the log cabins and the moonshine stills."
In its first year, the J.S. Green Collegiate Institute (the name was changed to Piedmont College in 1903), enrolled 367 students, an astonishing number given the rural nature of the area and the scant population. Parents in some cases sacrificed their meager possessions to make certain that their children could attend. One mother reportedly sold her cookstove, choosing to labor over an open fire, rather than have her son miss his chance at an education.
Today, more than 100 years later, the students of Piedmont College arrive from all over the world, still carrying that same unquenchable thirst for education. Some are third, even fourth generation Piedmont students. Some are the first in their families to venture beyond high school. But all of them find at Piedmont College an experience much like that of the students who paraded up the hill in 1897 - a small college town where the faculty and students form a community with a rich academic tradition - where anyone with a desire for knowledge is welcome.
Growth of Piedmont
By 1899, Piedmont was beset by financial difficulties. Enrollment was strong at just under 400 students, but the support the College founders had hoped for from the state's Methodist churches was not forthcoming. Strapped for funds after cashing in his own life insurance policy to support the College, Rev. Spence turned to the Congregationalist churches for help. "I have gone as far as I can," Spence told a church representative. "I am getting deeper and deeper in debt. You Congregationalists need a college. Here is a good beginning."
The Congregational Church had been founded by the Pilgrims in 1620 and already had a long history of supporting higher education. They had founded Harvard in 1636, Yale in 1701, and numerous other colleges across the U.S. As yet they had no college in the South, and so in 1901, the American Missionary Board of the Congregational Church took Piedmont under its wing. While remaining an independent institution governed by its own board of trustees, Piedmont has enjoyed a close relationship with Congregational churches ever since. Students from across the U.S. and around the world who might otherwise never hear of Piedmont College are introduced through the churches, and this association has historically provided the College with a rich mix of students from many cultures and backgrounds.
As Piedmont grew in the early part of this century, it began building a reputation as "the little college that could." Through two World Wars, the Depression and the turbulent 1960s, the College remained an oasis of learning. Whenever financial difficulties developed, the administration, faculty, students, alumni and friends who had grown up with the College were always there to step in to save the day. With their faithful and often extraordinary sacrifices, the campus slowly grew from a cluster of former homes to the beautiful 100-acre site that houses the College today.
Because of its small size, Piedmont College through most of its existence also has developed a "David and Goliath" outlook on just about all matters academic and athletic. Athletic teams, noted nationally in the 1960s for their proclivity to lose, were nonetheless respected for the character of their coaches and players. And even with a faculty that could be numbered in the teens, Piedmont over the years produced more than its share of leaders in government, education, business and the arts.
Today, Piedmont College is a classic, independent, church-related, liberal arts institution. With a substantial endowment, Piedmont is able to provide a high-quality education while maintaining tuition that is among the lowest of all private colleges in the state.
Piedmont's commitment to the liberal arts has not changed either. The College's core curriculum covers nearly half of the total credits required for a degree. This ensures that all students gain a broad competence in the liberal arts, regardless of their field of specialization.
Piedmont offers bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in 44 areas and in 1999 began accepting students in the bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program. The School of Nursing is nationally accredited and provides a community-based curriculum with a focus on health promotion. The College is also accredited to award Master of Arts degrees in education and business, as well as Specialist and Doctoral degrees in education.
Piedmont has an excellent teacher preparation program, with extensive training available in early childhood, middle-grades, secondary and special education. The small class size and the cohesiveness of the Piedmont community help students to develop their full potential and to acquire the skills needed for successful, professional careers.
Piedmont College is becoming more national and international in scope. Currently, more than 20 states and 10 foreign countries are represented at Piedmont. These students bring a diversity of backgrounds and beliefs to the campus, and their presence allows all students to develop an appreciation and understanding of other cultures.
Piedmont has residence halls available for men and women. Student life is enhanced with a variety of activities, including intercollegiate sports in men's and women's basketball, cross country, golf, tennis, lacrosse, and soccer; men's baseball; and women's softball and volleyball. There are active intramural teams in a variety of sports, and the College's fitness center features modern equipment and professional instruction.
Clubs and organizations on campus allow students to be involved in many areas of interest, from music and art to math and physics. Moreover, the College offers several enhancement programs, including Piedmont Scholars, Honors College and the Lyceum series. These programs enrich the lives of students by presenting many outstanding speakers and encouraging reflection in small discussion groups. Lyceum events include musical performances, plays and lectures for students and the surrounding community.
A Bright Future
From its modest beginnings in 1897, Piedmont grew steadily. In 1971, the College completed a building program and for the first time began to build a significant endowment. In recent years, the College has set its sights on larger dreams that are now coming true. In 1992, a new 38,000-square-foot, 100,000-volume library opened, signaling a new era in academic resources and support at Piedmont College. The library includes computerized indexes and databases, two computer labs, conference rooms and offices.
In 2000 and 2001, the college built Stewart Hall, a three-story math, science and technology center that houses state-of-the-art laboratories and analysis equipment. The college also opened the Mize Athletic Center with a new basketball and volleyball arena, fitness center and locker rooms. More recently, Piedmont completed a major renovation of the college chapel, which included the installation of a 3,675-pipe organ and construction of a wing to house additional classrooms and a recital hall. Five new residence halls have been added to house a total of about 500 students.
The Swanson Center for Performing Arts and Communications opened in October 2007, providing the Demorest campus with two theatre venues and classroom space for the mass communications department.
In the summer of 1996, Piedmont opened a campus in Athens, Ga., designed for students who want a small-college atmosphere but also want the amenities that a larger city like Athens can offer. Athens is a great academic and intellectual community, and our students are a part of that, while still having the benefit of small classes and more interaction with their professors. PC-Athens began with just 64 students and today has grown to about 800 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in day and evening classes.
The Athens campus offers undergraduate degrees in education, sociology, criminal justice, psychology, nursing, and business, as well as master of arts degrees in early childhood, secondary education, and special education E/BD. The Athens campus also offers the master of business administration (MBA) degree, as well as specialist and doctoral degrees in education.
Piedmont College is part of a global educational community made possible by the Internet and satellite telecommunications. Piedmont students may no longer arrive on campus to barter cows for an education, but they arrive just as ready to learn, just as thirsty for knowledge as their predecessors did some 115 years ago.

The NEC/Tufts Dual Degree program is a five-year program leading to a Bachelor of Music degree from New England Conservatory and a Bachelor of Arts or Science from Tufts University.
Each school grants admission independently, requiring separate applications, materials, and related fees. Therefore, eligible high school students must apply to both Tufts and New England Conservatory following the institutions' normal undergraduate application processes and indicating in their application that they are applying for the joint program. All offers of admission to the double degree program are made following independent notification of admission sent from each school in late March.
There are limited openings to this program, so it is possible that an applicant can be admitted to both institutions but denied admission to the joint program. There is no wait list for the joint program.
Once admitted, double degree students receive all financial aid from Tufts University. No financial aid is offered through New England Conservatory. For further information regarding Tufts University and/or to request application forms, please contact the Tufts Admissions Office by phoning (617) 628-5000.
