Michael Nazir-Ali—How to Save Marriage From Hitting the Rocks
The Christian church based its approach to marriage and the family, as it found it to be in different places, on the one-flesh union of man and woman. They were not only given a common mission (known as the cultural mandate in the world) and created and ordered towards one another for the birth and nurture of children, but also for their own fulfilment and security. It is very important to understand this.
Throughout the course of Christian history there have been many expressions of this view of marriage and the family, but I want to examine just one. His is a name difficult to avoid on the topic: St Augustine, the great Bishop of Hippo in North Africa. Augustine saw marriage first of all as the coming together of man and woman for the sake of children, but also for the sake of the security of the partners. This is what you might call the contractual view of marriage. It needed to be understood in a lifelong sense because, apart from anything else, the human child takes a long time to grow up.
But Augustine didn't stop there. He went on to speak of the commitment that is necessary — contract is not enough — so that we do not use one another simply as a means to our own selfish ends, but commit ourselves to the other as a person.
Read it all.

White Sox advance to World Series
Emotions high as club clinches first AL pennant in 46 years
ANAHEIM -- If the White Sox were looking for one moment from the past few weeks to capture the feelings from this amazing 2005 season, one instance that could be immortalized on everything from T-shirts to highway billboards to even cocktail napkins in the Bard's Room at U.S. Cellular Field, look no further than a scene taking place minutes after Sunday's 6-3 victory over the Angels at Angel Stadium.
Sure, the celebration shot of White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko embracing winning pitcher Jose Contreras in a bear hug, after Konerko retired Casey Kotchman on a grounder to first to lock up the team's first American League pennant in 46 years, would be a good choice.
And don't forget the ensuing chaotic celebration on the field, the third of its kind for the White Sox, growing in intensity from the American League Central clincher to the Division Series to the American League Championship Series.
But the perfect metaphor for this current campaign came from reliever Dustin Hermanson, a hurler who has not tossed a single inning during the club's dominant 7-1 postseason run. As the position players hugged and screamed together between the mound and first base, Hermanson took a full-out leap into the pile off a dead sprint.
Remember, this is the same Hermanson who has battled back problems for most of the second half of the season. Much like the White Sox and their euphoric fan base, Hermanson has never flown further.
"That was one of the greatest leaps I ever had," said Hermanson, drenched in champagne, but otherwise none the worse for wear. "My back hasn't felt that good this whole season as it did at that point.
"You have to give Kenny [Williams, GM] and Ozzie [Guillen, manager] credit for what's going on in here," added Hermanson, pointing to the on-going celebration. "Kenny brought the people in, and Ozzie did a [heck] of a job. They put the team together and we did it."
What the White Sox did exactly is make baseball history. They ended years of frustration and even misery for their supporters, past players and even the ownership group, led by Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn, by reaching the World Series for the first time since 1959.
And they did it in impressive fashion.
Forget about the breaks the White Sox received, and there were more than a few along the way. Their in-your-face style of baseball, coupled with the best starting quartet in franchise history, created their own brand of luck.
No wonder one fan sitting behind the White Sox dugout, one of 2,000 to 3,000 who stayed to help the South Siders celebrate, held up a sign reading, "Cooper for MVP."
"That's my uncle," said pitching coach Don Cooper with a smile, when asked by Reinsdorf about the support. "It's the best feeling I've ever had in baseball, and I'm sure it's the same for most everyone in here.
"We've waited a long time as an organization, and it's certainly more than worth the wait. The people in Chicago, I'm sure they are going crazy right now."
A brief moment existed Sunday where those fans probably watched their party atmosphere grow a bit sullen, as the Angels grabbed a 3-2 lead heading into the seventh. But Joe Crede tied the game with a homer off reliever Kelvim Escobar, his third straight extra-base hit against the right-hander with nasty stuff, and then delivered the game-winning infield hit off closer Francisco Rodriguez in the eighth.
Crede's two-out grounder up the middle, coming two pitches after Rodriguez appeared to nail Crede with a sweeping curve on a 1-2 offering, scored a hard-charging Aaron Rowand all the way from second. The inning stayed alive moments earlier when a call ruling A.J. Pierzynski out at first was overturned, as it was decided Escobar missed the tag on a ground ball that he picked up after it bounced off of his back side. Konerko, the ALCS Most Valuable Player, doubled home a run in the ninth, followed by a Rowand sacrifice fly.
Working with the three-run lead, Contreras cruised through the final frame to seal the Angels' fate. The big right-hander retired the final 15 hitters.
"I think the biggest reason we are where we are is because of Jose," Guillen said. "Every time we need a big game, he got it for us."
"It never crossed my mind once to throw a complete game," added Contreras through translator Ozzie Guillen Jr. "I was just thinking, 'Get the W.' After the fifth inning, I started concentrating on the batters and that's where my strength came."
The White Sox strength this season has come from so many areas. Williams was the architect, Guillen was the conductor and the players made the plans come to fruition.
Now, they wait to see if Houston can finish off St. Louis and complete the All-Central Division World Series, after the White Sox became the third World Series entrant to come from the AL Central since realignment before the 1995 postseason. The excitement was palpable in the clubhouse. The emotions were overwhelming at times.
In order to soar as high as Hermanson did on Sunday, though, the White Sox still need four more wins.
"We haven't won the World Series title and that's where we are at," Williams said. "Without that, this celebration will turn south very quickly. Right now, let's party on."
"It's incredible," Pierzynski added. "But the fans have been waiting since 1917 for a World Series title, so hopefully, we get that too."

By FELICIA FONSECAAssociated Press
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - Two cousins who started the largest wildfire in Arizona history could be on the hook for $3.5 million in restitution for property damage and other losses.
Caleb and David Malboeuf are on probation following last month's sentencing on charges of building a campfire without clearing flammable material and leaving it unattended. They were camping in eastern Arizona in May 2011 when their campfire spread outside its rings, sparking the Wallow Fire.
The blaze burned about 840 square miles, in Arizona and parts of western New Mexico before it was contained.
The prosecution and defense filed a joint motion Friday outlining the restitution costs. They agreed on more than $3 million in claims but say other claims totaling nearly $500,000 do not have enough documentation.
A restitution hearing is set for Oct. 15.

Silver Surfer Vaporizer Reviews
Write Your Own Review
Had a Silver Surfer Vaporizer,I believe it was this model because of the logo's. But regardless I was expecting to be disappointing by this Vaporizer. You must be very cautious when in use and try not to draw it or knock over almost like a glass water pipe. Only one worth spending money on that I've used and had the DIGITAL VOLCANO VAPORIZER. It's a great product and works but it has glass pieces too so glass eventually break's. I WOULD SUGGEST NOT TO LEAVE IT EASY ACCESS IN YOUR ROOM or anywhere where are. People who don't know how to use it tend to think they can figure it out but they usually can't and sometime's I use just say i will load it and you just inhale when i tell you and see vape by SLOWLY INHALING the tube when Glass is not plastic and or metal and will eventually break or chip. :( For home use I LOVE THE DIGITAL VOLCANO HANDS DOWN BEST THING EVER! I would rate this has number 2 right behind the Digital Volcano because if DONE CORRECTLY you get almost the exact same kinda draw from the Volcano! But if you can't spend that much on Valcano GET AN ATMOS-A PEN (510) VAPORIZER.Great for driving and concerts!!!
Ordered on a Sunday. Hadn't shipped by Mon eve, so I called. The rep took matters very seriously. Seems the color was on backorder. I expressed my desire to have the vape over color choice. Not only did she help, she helped me upgrade shipping, and I recieved it the next day, and in the color I wanted! Great customer service! The vape itself is wonderful. Works as designed, and has saved my lungs! Bravo!

It would be nice to know from where these people are moving here from.
East coast, illegal immigration or H1-B visas?

Santa Clara county has more population than some of the other states do.
on May 2, 2013 at 8:16 pm
This is a mixed blessing, in my opinion. I'm pretty sure part of the increase is people moving here because they were hired here. But, to the extent that's true, it means people already living here, and out of work, were not hired.
In other words, the growth in population is not helping our jobs situation as much as I wish it was.

|Eagle netters end season with loss at Mosinee
The Northland Pines volleyball team traveled to Mosinee for the first WIAA Division 2 Regional tournament match last Tuesday, and ended the season with a loss of 3-0.
The seventh-seeded Eagles battled the second-seeded Mosinee Indians, but Mosinee won 19-25, 18-25 and 24-26.
"Pines started the match off pretty slow and progressively picked up their level of play as the match went on," said Pines coach Julie Smith. "I really feel that we determine how we are going to perform before the match even begins. The confidence level and the desire to compete needs to be there from all of the players and it just wasn't evident in pregame."After losing the first set to Mosinee purely on lack of hustle,

In a way its a bit sad how this whole election could potentially work out. Coons wouldn't have stood a chance (most likely) against any other GOP contender besides the self-destructive O'Donnell.
Its a sad day when admirable Senators like Russ Feingold are ousted as idiots like Sharron Angle are all but on their way to being sworn in.

Ralph Malbrough / Contributing Writer
The Saints 2012 season ended like a bus on fire going over a cliff and Drew Brees was the crazy bus driver. Brees' consecutive games with a touchdown ended after the worst game of his career. He threw five interceptions, mismanaged the clock right before the half, and had too many tipped passes to count. Brees was so bad - the last time a Saints quarterback threw five interceptions was in 1973 when Archie Manning did it. That's 39 years and practically dozens of horrible quarterbacks ago. Kenny Stabler, Richard Todd, Dave Wilson, Bobby Hebert, Wade Wilson, Jim Everett, Heath Shuler, Danny Wuerffel, the nine Billy Joes and Aaron Brooks never threw five interceptions. No one saw this coming, and I know I didn't.
The screw up right before the half is Exhibit A for why the Saints miss Sean Payton. Brees said he thought there was more time on the clock then there actually was. I can guarantee that never happens with Sean Payton on the sideline. Why am I so sure? Because in the six years Payton has been on the sideline, you can't find one clock issue nearly as bad. Hell, I don't think Payton has ever mismanaged the clock as Saints coach. Great head coaches matter, they just do.
The shame of it was in spite of all the mess Brees had caused, the Saints had the ball and were only down 17-13. They had scored 13 unanswered, had all the momentum and Brees throws his third interception. I think he just threw another one.
Even worse was Brees wasted the best Saints defensive performance of the year, heck it might be the best defense they've played in two years. The defense held Atlanta to 284 yards and 1 for 11 on third down. The Falcons started the game with an 80 yard touchdown drive, which included 68 yards rushing but they barely got 200 yards the rest of the night.
For the first time all year I didn't have abject terror when the opposing team had the ball. Terror was reserved for whenever Brees dropped back to pass in the fourth quarter.
The defense is turning the corner. Akiem Hicks and Cam Jordan are officially good NFL players and might even be worth building around. The secondary covered the very good Falcon wide receivers and did so with out another young talented rookie Corey White.
The improving defense is the end of the positive notes in this column because the rest of 2012 is a long slow march to nowhere. The Saints aren't likely to have all the teams ahead of them or tied with them lose again so they'll be two games out with four games left. It's over.
Ok, one more positive note to cheer you up: I'm convinced Atlanta is primed for another playoff failure. If they play Chicago, Green Bay or the Giants to open playoffs they will go down. Any credible defense can stop them, and an offense that doesn't implode will score 30 on them.
Usually by December bad teams like the Saints have shown you what they are and what they aren't. As we head to the final quarter of the year, I have no idea how the Saints will play, what they'll do well or where they will struggle. The first 10 weeks it was defense. Now it's the $100 million future Hall of Fame quarterback.
Turn out the lights the party's over. Wait, that's not true. The party never really started for this miserable excuse for a football season. It was D.O.A. the moment Roger Goodell brought down the thunder. Brees playing the worst quarterbacked game in Saints history and having his touchdown streak snapped against the team we hate the most is the poop cherry on the poop sundae otherwise known as the 2012 Saints season.
If the 2012 Saints season were a horse we'd take it out back to put it out of its misery. I'll be honest and tell you I'm two more Saints losses from rooting for 5-11 and a better draft pick. Rip me if you want, but what exactly does 7-9 or 8-8 accomplish at this point, and I say that as someone who will be flying into see the final two home games in person. Very depressing thought.
It's about time to start worrying about 2013 draft position because we are near the point where victories mean nothing. Been a long time around these parts since we had to watch meaningless December football. I'll sum up 2012 in one word...miserable.

3. The human library was part of the will-breaking process.
"Because we had other prisoners in our black sites, we would be able to check information against others. And they [detainees] knew that," said Rodriguez. In this way, simply holding detainees in opaque confinement gave interrogators leverage.
4. We had tested enhanced interrogation techniques on ourselves.
Rodriguez said he quickly accepted the use of enhanced interrogation in part because "I knew that many of these procedures were applied to our own servicemen. Tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers had gone through this." If these methods were safe and moral to use on Americans, weren't they safe and moral to use on our enemies?
5. Freelancing was forbidden.
Rizzo outlined some rules for enhanced interrogation: No interrogator was allowed to use a waterboard without first submitting written justification, and only the CIA director could approve it. So, for what it's worth, there were internal checks on the practice, at least because the CIA would be politically accountable for what its interrogators did.
6. Rules were a weakness, and ambiguity was leverage.
While citing the program's rules as a moral defense, the panelists also groused that the rules cost them leverage. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, for instance, noticed a time limit on waterboarding. "Pretty quickly, he recognized that within 10 seconds we would stop pouring water," said Rodriguez. "He started to count with his fingers, up to 10, just to let us know that the time was up." Hayden said that when the incoming Obama administration ruled out enhanced interrogation, he requested a caveat: "unless otherwise authorized by the president." This, he explained, would create "ambiguity" so that anyone captured in the future couldn't be "quite sure what would happen" to them.

TODAY | November 01, 2012
>>> even as new york city struggles to recover from sandy, it's going ahead with one of the biggest events every year. mayor michael bloomberg says the new york city marathon will take place this sunday as scheduled. but not everyone is onboard with that decision. mary wittenberg is the ceo and president of the group that organizes the marathon. good morning. nice to see you.
>> good morning, matt.
>> were you in agreement with this decision?
>> once the mayor said let's go forward. we're here to support the city, ready to do whatever we can.
>> if he said to you, mary, do you think it's a good idea? would you have had said yes or no?
>> i would say, what come sunday would be the best for new yorkers. and when he said the best thing is to go, the answer is to do everything we can to support the city and help it get back on its feet. and we're going to take advantage of the opportunity to really help elevate the relief efforts and help people come together in the city.
>> he's the one that made the call. and i don't mean to put you on the hot seat. i'm a fan of the marathon. i like it. but i have not seen one person here in our informal survey that thinks this is the right idea. you have 600,000 people without power in the city. the subways are only operating on a limited basis, there are streets that are closed, no power downtown, there's gridlock. the governor declared a transportation emergency, and we saw that picture a second ago of the traffic, people waiting to get into new york city . add to that 47,000 runners, 8,000 volunteers, some 2 million spectators, why is it a good idea?
>> well, i think first, matt, our hearts go out to everybody impacted by the storm. it's been really tough here. and the marathon is a day that's all about the triumph of the human spirit and the idea is that come sunday to really help bring new yorkers back together.
>> could we have delayed it, though? until the city's a little bit more on its feet after struggling through this week?
>> we'd be prepared to go forward however the city thinks best or not go forward. but we respond and get prepared for what we're asked to do. and, again, the idea is come sunday to bring the city together and help the world unite to really support this relief effort.
>> we've got airports running at far less than capacity. can you get the runners in? do you think the runners coming from across the country and by the way, around the world, i think some 20,000 of them come from other countries, can they get here? can they get around the city once they get here? will they have places to stay?
>> and what we're hearing is that the flights have been rebooked, people are coming, people want to be here and support. we hear a lot of support of people saying, i want to help new york, i want to help get back on its feet. i want to be there, i want to support local businesses that have been out of business for a while. so far we're hearing people are coming and, you know, on sunday, i think what's really important too, is we have modified all plans. first of all, we canceled most every event except for sunday morning, opening ceremonies friday night canceled, a saturday morning race for 8,000 to 10,000 canceled. so the focus of sunday morning also in terms of transportation, we've gone entirely to a transportation system . all buses, no public transportation . and so that's the idea is to be here. our job is to respond to what the city needs and asked us to do. and to do so without draining any of the resources that are really rightly focused on the recovery.
>> do you expect some of the money raised for charity to go to the relief efforts?
>> yes, we're going to use this platform to say here's how you can help. donate to red cross , help americans get back on their feet. and we're on national television and global television , that'll be the chance to help new york and the entire area move forward and rebound.
>> hopefully monday morning people will have a different opinion of this decision, at least some of them. good luck with the race on sunday.
>> thanks so much.

City and school board officials are set to discuss keeping our schools safe. This is all in wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
Come Tuesday morning, the LPS school board and the Lincoln city council will officially begin trading ideas on how to keep our schools free of violence. They say they'll start with evaluating the measures they already have in place and make adjustments.
"We need to ask, 'what makes sense for Lincoln, Nebraska? How do we protect our children and not impede the education, not put them in a penal system?' So, a lot of factors there," said Councilman Jon Camp.
Lincoln public schools already have several safety measures in effect. Visitor sign-ins are standard practice and lock downs are put into order should the need arise. One thing officials do plan to address Tuesday is open communication amongst students and teachers. LPS Board President Dr. Ed Zimmer says this is the first step in preventing incidents.
"The real basis of it is people watching out for each other. Adults watching out for children, children knowing they can trust their adults," said Dr. Zimmer.
Some parents have said the only way to ensure their kids are safe in school is to have an armed officer on each campus. Some city officials say that would cost $2.5 million to start up and $6 million to maintain each year. Dr. Zimmer says he expects to see this topic on the table, but stopped short of discussing the possibility of adding metal detectors or security cameras. He says whatever is decided, will be carefully constructed.
"Both city government and those of us in positions of responsibility to the schools are concerned and entrusted. We're used to working together," said Dr. Zimmer.
The meeting will begin at 7:30 Tuesday morning in the County/City building. It will be open to the public.

"Charity is Never Dead" was more of a sappy, Lifetime Network movie of the week. 1 star--not one of my favorites.
Davy Joe, 2012-07-19 23:02:30
This play centers on the lives of two women who have recently been injured in a disaster. The younger woman is afflicted with amnesia as a result of the trauma and the older woman is blinded. The older woman believes the younger woman is her granddaughter but neither can prove the relationship because of their injuries. In the end, we learn the truth.
Carmella, 2012-12-12 23:50:31
In the aftermath of an explosion at a department store, an elderly woman emerges critically wounded pleading for her granddaughter who was with her. Another woman survives but seems to have lost all memory of who she was and where she belongs. The old woman, struck blind, is certain the young woman is her granddaughter, and there is no evidence to the contrary… yet is there no evidence that to prove that she is either. The need of the dying woman for a family connection in her dying moments, and the need for the amnesiac for some sense of identity lead the two down a trail of discovery and fulfillment

The Dallas Mavericks leveraged the No. 26 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft to land a proven veteran with a penchant for shooting. Unfortunately, that proven veteran happens to be Rudy Fernandez.
Gained: Rudy Fernandez, rights to Petteri Koponen.
Gave up: Rights to Jordan Hamilton.
Synopsis: Hamilton actually seemed like a good pick-up, a lottery talent at a position of need going forward for Dallas. Fernandez? In theory, it sounds good. A shooter who can, like seemingly every other Mavs guard not named Jason Kidd, provide some "instant offense" (just add possessions!). The problem is that Fernandez has been awful off the bench for most of his NBA career, and his shooting has gotten worse and worse every year. The Mavericks don't play a whole lot more up-tempo than the Blazers, and he's not likely to get many more minutes. The chances of this working out really well seem to be rather less than Rudy not helping, and Hamilton being a good young player for the Nuggets.
All the NBA's a prediction, and mine is that this is not great for Dallas. If Koponen, a Finnish point guard, actually comes over? Burn this post.
Grade: C-.

Fans boycott Coventry City
Thousand of fans are expected to boycott Coventry City's first 'home' fixture to be played out of the city for 130 years. The club will play fixtures at Northampton's Sixfields stadium after leaving the Ricoh because of a row over rent arrears.
Coventry explain League's 'one-in-one-out' rule for transfers
Coventry City have explained how they are able to sign players whilst they are subject to a transfer embargo.
It means that as long as a player has left the Sky Blues, the club can sign another player, as long as their wages are 75% less.
Development Director Steve Waggott explain how the #skyblues can add to the squad while under embargo http://t.co/QIBvGgSl8f #pusb
Football League allow Coventry to bring in players
The Football League have allowed Coventry City to bring in players, by partially lifting the transfer embargo imposed on the club.
It has enabled the Sky Blues to sign free-agent striker Mathieu Manset on a one-year deal with an additional one-year option.
Coventry City statement on judicial review decision
– Coventry City statement
Coventry City Football Club has noted the ruling by Mr Justice Males on the Judicial Review and will consider the decision before taking its next steps.
Ricoh owner pleased with 'correct decision'
The owner of the Ricoh Arena, ACL, have responded to a High Court judge's decision to throw out an application for a judicial review by Coventry City.
The owners of the club, Sisu, brought forward the legal challenge after Coventry City Council took on the Ricoh Arena's mortgage.
We note the announcement today that the High Court has dismissed the application by SISU to seek a judicial review of Coventry City Council's decision to take over Yorkshire Bank's loan to ACL. We are pleased to see that what we believe to be the correct judgment has been made in this unfortunate situation.
Indeed, Mr Justice Males has made the reasons for his judgment very clear. We note, in particular, his reference to the withholding of lawfully owed rent by SISU as a means of exerting pressure on ACL in commercial negotiations, which had led to an unsatisfied judgment in the High Court in ACL's favour.
– Arena Coventry Limited (ACL) statement
We are also pleased that Mr Justice Males has included in his judgment the decision that ACL's costs in relation to this dismissed case should be borne by SISU.
Council 'delighted' over judicial review refusal
A High Court judge has thrown out an application for a judicial review of the decision by Coventry City Council to take on the Ricoh Arena's mortgage.
We are delighted that permission to apply for a judicial review by Sisu-related companies (including Coventry City Football Club Holdings Ltd) into the Council's decision to restructure Arena Coventry Limited's loan at a commercial rate from Yorkshire Bank, has been refused in the strongest terms by High Court Judge Mr Justice Males.
While we always knew we had a strong case, there was always the possibility that a judge could allow the case to be heard, tying up the Council in lengthy and complex litigation which would, whatever the outcome, have benefitted no-one.
– Joint statement from Cllr Ann Lucas, Leader of Coventry City Council and Cllr John Blundell, Leader of the Opposition, Coventry City Council
The judge has thrown out the case at the earliest possible opportunity, and while the applicants can appeal the decision at an oral hearing we hope the robust refusal of the application will allow us to move forward.
For the past few months the threat of litigation has fettered the Council. We've been unable to speak out about this issue or talk about the reasons why we've taken the decisions we have. That's been very difficult for us all; we know how important the Ricoh Arena and the Sky Blues are to Coventry people and how desperate people are for us to do what we can to find a solution.
The Council also said: "We're clear about our priorities; our primary focus is to support the development of a very important asset for the city, continue the regeneration of this part of Coventry."
"We also want a successful and sustainable football club playing at the Ricoh. Our aim is to work hard to deliver this."
Breaking: Sky Blues council judicial review thrown out
A High Court judge has thrown out an application for a judicial review of the decision by Coventry City Council to take on the Ricoh Arena's mortgage.
Sisu, the firm which owns the Sky Blues, brought forward the legal challenge, claiming it mounted to illegal 'state aid'.
The council spent £14m buying out the loan from Yorkshire Bank.
The judge ruled that the decision was justified, because Coventry City had stopped paying £100,000 per month in rent.
More to follow...
Coventry City will welcome investigation into stadium controversy
Coventry City have released a statement in response to attacks from Ricoh Arena against the Joint Administrator Paul Appleton, the Football League and SISU.
Arena Coventry Limited initially said:
– Arena Coventry Limited
The liquidation process allows for detailed investigation of the failed business and we will be watching carefully to ensure this is carried out in an appropriate manner in the case of Coventry City Football Club Limited.
We hope also that because of the questions being asked by supporters and other stakeholders about his actions, Mr Appleton will allow new, independent liquidators to investigate the actions of the Company and officeholders if the Company does go into liquidation, which we note has still not been publicly confirmed.
In response Coventry City have welcomed an investigation into dealings at the club.
– Coventry City statement
We can answer every single point put forward and have nothing to hide. In fact, we welcome any investigation that examines this whole affair – including the property and financial deals relating to the move from Highfield Road, which is where this all began.
We are also happy for an investigation into why previous owners of the club set up the Limited/Holdings structure in 1995 and any transfer of assets since then.
Football League 'dismayed' at continuing dispute
The Football League has said it is "dismayed" over the continuing disagreement between the the owners of the Ricoh Arena and Coventry City's administrators that has left the club on the brink of liquidation.
Earlier today, the owners of the Ricoh Arena, Arena Coventry Limited (ACL), rejected proposals drawn up by the club's adminstator that would of brought the club out of administration.
Football League Chairman, Greg Clarke said: "Once again, it is a source of immense frustration to everyone involved that the two parties in this dispute have failed to reach any agreement. The Board is dismayed at the level of intransigence being shown."
The association insisted that it would continue its efforts to get the parties to enter "meaningful negotiations" so that Coventry City can return to Coventry "at the earliest opportunity".
Coventry City criticises Ricoh Arena bosses
– Tim Fisher, chief executive of Coventry City Football Club
There has been a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the club's future but this decision by the Football League means we now have certainty and the club's future is secured. We can now get on and put our future plans into action which means building and owning our own stadium in the Coventry area.
It's made all the harder by the fact that the adjournments pushed the club right up to the deadline for the start of the season.
Surely the events of the last few days and the abuse of the administration process highlight that the club had been left with very little room for manoeuvre.
– Tim Fisher, chief executive of Coventry City Football Club
Indeed, I am sure that all the fans are aware that the very reason ACL stated for filing for administration in the first place was to avoid liquidation and a points deduction this season. Liquidation is exactly what they pushed for and succeeded in getting today.
None of us want to start the season away from the club's home city but previous refusals to take up our offer of negotiation or arbitration meant we were forced to find a ground to complete our fixtures.
Football League criticises Coventry City creditors
– Greg Clarke, Football League Chairman
Once again, it is a source of immense frustration to everyone involved that the two parties in this dispute have failed to reach any agreement. The Board is dismayed at the level of intransigence being shown.
Nonetheless, The League will continue with its efforts to get the two parties to enter into meaningful negotiations, so that Coventry City can return to Coventry at the earliest opportunity.
The Board's decision means that these attempts can now be conducted against a backdrop of Coventry City as a continuing member of The Football League.

text: We had such a great round of golf on the George Fazio Course at Palmetto Dunes in Hilton Head. It was a beautiful morning with perfect temperatures and a cooling breeze for our 7:52am tee time. The air conditioned golf carts were a key ingredient to us finishing the round strong as we approached mid-day temperatures. The course is in excellent condition, and offers beautiful views from start to finish. This par 3 on the 17th is intimidating as you hit over the water to the green, but my playing partner managed to land one about 20 feet from the hole to set up for a birdie putt (which she missed!) - and we both escaped with par. We are looking forward to our next trip to Palmetto Dunes, and hoping to play the Hills Course the next time around.

"On Golden Pond"
We loved everything about the house! We decided last year to give our sons and their families a Christmas gift...a week away together! They had loved the Dells growing up, so we decided to head north. We knew that we wanted to be close to all of the many activities that the Dells provide; but at the same time, we really wanted to stay somewhere away from the crowds and all of the hustle and bustle. We found that place! As soon as I started reading about the Lighthouse, it almost seemed too good to be true. It reminded me of the movie "On Golden Pond"....a lovely home set back in the woods, on the water. Every room had its charm...the painted murals on the walls, the décor that fit the surroundings perfectly. We found the house and the grounds to be so well-maintained. And Mark, the owner, was so accommodating, friendly, and available. We would highly recommended this property...a wonderful place to build memories...Enjoy!
Nice family vacation home
Beautiful views of river included magnificent bird-watching and gorgeous sunsets. The kids loved the nearby park and use of the canoe and rowboat were huge hits. A very relaxing retreat that provided all the necessary modern conveniences. The mosquitos were certainly voracious but the bug spray seemed to tame them a bit. The wine and flowers upon arrival were appreciated as well! Would definately return under the same circumstances.
Perfect ending
The description on line was to the t. The cottage had practically everything you needed. The senery was beautiful and relaxing. The boys had a blast with having the boats for use when ever they wanted. We hope to come back again. Only thing missing was a clothes washer, that is the only thing keeping it from being perfectly flawless. Thank you for sharing your piece of tranquility. Lisa

Optima Beverage Tub 453 504
A frontgate Best Bargain This tub surpasses anything I've seen in both looks, performance and size. Is on loan now with son and wife doing a large backyard party. Good bargain, I think. April 27, 2010
Best Multi-Functional Beverage Tub Ever This beverage cooler can be used for a variety of uses and is truly beautiful to look at! The brushed aluminum finish is extremely attractive, the tub can hold 3-4 bags of ice, it's construction is non-condensating - never a mess to clean up around,and the ice stays ice for several hours! Definitely a ***** product. April 15, 2010
Excellent size A beautifully crafted beverage tub. It is attractive and very versatile. No condensation forms keeping your bar dry. Is deep enough to hold large bottles. April 12, 2010
LOVE THIS!!! We bought Tthe Beverage Tub to use for our St. Patrick's Day Party. It held several bottles of wine and looked amazing. It did not have water melting on the outside which is amazing! LOVED the sale price! April 12, 2010
great purchase! I ordered the beverage tub mainly because I had shopped around and not seen anything this size for the price. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at how heavy and well made it was. I haven't used it yet, but I'm very excited to have friends over for a bbq in the backyard. Amazing purchase! April 9, 2010
Great Product! This tub is fabulous! Works great and chills for hours! April 5, 2010
beverage tub-excellent Beverage tub is so much better than the picture. It is very large and does what it says- keeps everything cold without any sweating. We still had ice in the tub the next morning! April 4, 2010
Exception Product This is a very well made and classy beverage tub. It is a solid tub with possibility of holding many bottles and cans. April 2, 2010
a thing of beauty our country club uses these for ice and they really do a great job! No sweat/no melt and look expensive. What more could you want? April 1, 2010
It doesn't drip! This is a handsome addition to our party plans. We have used various containers to serve wine and beer at parties, and for the first time, we have a container that is functional, good-looking and proud to be on our bar! The best part is that it works-- there is no moisture dripping on the outside. Thanks, Frontgate, for giving me a beverage tub I really can use. April 1, 2010
Great Purchase My sister bought the tub in Dec. My son-in-law just loved it. I waited for it to come back on sale, even at a better price. I got the tub for him as an early birthday present. March 31, 2010
Best purchase ever It was worth every dollar. There was no condensation after 8 hours. It looked beautiful and I also have the ice bucket to match and the two together was wonderful. Alot of people asked where I purchased them. FRONTGATE OF COURSE March 31, 2010
Great look, heavy duty and large for sale price We borrowed a friends beverage cooler from Frontgate and loved how well it worked and looked. Then it was on sale so I bought one for myself. The only downer is that it is VERY heafy so when filled it is very heavy. This makes it difficult to have it anywhere but on the floor. I'd love to see a sturdy stand made to handle the weight of this. It is large so setting it on a counter or table just doesn't work; it pretty much has to go on the floor/ground. A stand to get it up to hip level and off the ground would be terrific. Overall we love the purchase and would do it again, especially for the quality at that price. March 31, 2010
great product I purchased a Beverage Tub a few years back and realized how great the product is that I needed a second beverage Tub. This product saves me time in setting up and cleanup. There are no issues with leaks or sweating which allows for indoor and outdoor use. March 22, 2010
LOVE IT! I'm very impressed with the size and quality of this tub. I've been looking for a long time and this one was worth the wait. I can't wait to use it! March 19, 2010
Best Beverage Tub Ever! This beverage tub is of the utmost quality! It's the largest tub I could find and the workmanship is outstanding. It will be frequenting out events for years to come. March 19, 2010
Great product at a great price (on sale when I purchased it). This is the 2nd beverage tub that I have bought from Frontgate March 18, 2010
Beverage Tub Looks very nice, bigger than it looks on the pictures. We can't wait to use it in our next party... March 17, 2010
ITEM MOST BORROWED This by far is the BEST beverage Tub!! It keeps all of our drinks cold without sweating. I have purchased 3, 1 for myself and 2 for gifts. Everyone keeps borrowing it!! March 17, 2010
beverage tub Just received the two tubs ordered. One is gift and one for myself. Look very good but will not use until Memorial day weekend. I have been happy with past purchases so I'm assuming they will be great. March 17, 2010

Great value for exceptional product The beverage tub was purchased during its time as an experience Frontgate item. Initially it was backordered, then a defective one was sent (Frontgate quickly initiated the replacement process) but it was backordered again. However, it has finally arrived and it was well worth the wait. Our neighbours have one and it performs as advertised - sweatless while filled with ice at a party. We're looking forwatd to our first use! March 16, 2010

PEORIA, Ill. -- According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, African Americans, more than any other ethnic group in the United States, suffer from Sickle Cell Anemia.
Statistics show that one out of every 12 African Americans are born with the blood disorder when one of their parents have the trait.
There is a program in Peoria which has helped improve the quality of one patient's life.
Jackie Lewis, 53, is working out at a Peoria Gym, something she could not do a couple of years ago.
"The lack of oxygen that you use when you're exercising would throw me into a crisis, so I couldn't," said Jackie Lewis, Sickle Cell patient.
Jackie is one in about 100,000 African Americans in the United States born with Sickle Cell Anemia It's a condition that causes excruciating pain in limbs and organs. That's because red blood cells are misshaped and block blood flow.
"A normal blood cell is round, in sickle cell disease instead of that round shape the chemicals that make up your blood cells are different shape, they get flattened, they tend to get stuck," Dr. Mark Wolfmeyer, OSF St. Francis Medical Center.
Lewis has spent a lot of time in emergency rooms and hospitals, but now she takes her treatments at this Sickle Cell Clinic inside OSF St. Francis Medical Center.
"I can actually call the night before, tell them I'm having a crisis, give them a pain scale and Cami will say okay I'll see you at 8 in the morning," Lewis said.
Lewis is now on a regime of vitamins and says visits to the clinic are less often. She looks forward to spending more time exercising where she's also seeing positive results.
For information on the Sickle Cell Clinic at OSF St. Francis Medical Center call 624- 8818.

FRANKTON — Once flying under the radar, the soaring Frankton boys tennis team is now forcing the competition to take notice as it is amidst one of the best seasons in the program's history.
A strong foundation is key when building anything, whether it is a house or a sports team. Frankton coach Brett Sanders began his construction project four years ago.
"The first year I taught at Frankton, (this year's) juniors were in my eighth-grade science class," Sanders said. "They heard just about every day as they walked through my door, 'Did you buy a tennis racket yet?'"
They did, and it is paying off, as Frankton is 14-1 this season. But, it was not an overnight success story. The Eagles have experienced steady improvement during Sanders' tenure. In his first season, the team played to a 5-13 record, then 9-9 and last season 12-5.
"When I first came out here my freshmen year, we didn't have the best record, we just kept progressing," No. 1 singles player Lucas Bolt said. "I have worked very hard, and I know everyone else has worked very hard. It probably means just as much to all of them as it does to me."
The senior is one of the leaders Sanders said has set the example for the underclassmen to follow in order to keep success coming Frankton's way.
"Lucas Bolt works his absolute tail off," Sanders said. "Everyday in practice he is going to bring his best and work hard. Every Sunday he goes out and hits on his own. He really shows those guys what it means to work hard."
Bolt is just one of the core group of players that was key to changing a team's mentality. Sanders praised that core for playing like winners as well as being leaders.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance helicopters to blaze a trail across district's buses in advertising campaign
3:47pm Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
Yorkshire Air Ambulance helicopters will blaze a trail on the district's buses as part of a charity campaign.
Nearly 500 adverts promoting the rapid response charity will appear on First Bus vehicles across Yorkshire.
The space – valued at about £100,000 – has been donated by Exterion Media, which specialises in outdoor advertising on transport networks throughout the UK.
John Ainley, Exterion Media business director north east, said: "We have worked with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance for many years now. They deliver an incredible service – often in life and death situations – but do it all by relying on donations from people and businesses across the region.
"As our media reaches people right across our region we feel it is a privilege to take this message out and help ensure this vital service continues. None of us ever know when the air ambulance will be called on to help us!"
Yorkshire Air Ambulance needs to raise £9,990 every day to keep its two helicopters in the air – the equivalent of £3.6 million a year.
Abby McClymont, marketing and communications manager for Yorkshire Air Ambulance, said: "The offer of advertising space from Exterion Media has been invaluable to us.
"Having nearly 500 of our adverts being driven across the Yorkshire region is just fantastic and is helping us to spread awareness about the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and the work we do.
"As we are an independent charity, we have to rely on the support of individuals and business such as Exterion Media, and we cannot thank them enough for this."

FELLSMERE, Fla. – Racing in their final fall regatta, the Jacksonville University women's rowing program had another great outing at the FIRA Fall Classic on Saturday at Canal 54. The Novice 8 was the lone crew to finish in a top spot as they held a 52 second advantage over second place University of Florida.

In the Varsity 4+ race, JU's A Boat finished eight seconds behind the first place crew to place third.
The Varsity 8 crews crossed the finish line with times of 13:25 and 15:09 to finish third and seventh, respectively.
A couple of seconds shy of snatching their third first place finish, the Freshmen 4 crew placed second in their heat with a time of 15:34.
"Overall, we had a pretty decent and fun fall season with a few boats showing good results," continued Mitchell. "Now, we need to make sure we keep the training momentum throughout the winter if we expect to do big things this spring."

NEW ORLEANS -- While Crystal Hot Sauce definitely has a kick with its fiery taste, it's clear that heat isn't what separates it from the competition.
"We believe we sell flavor and not heat," said Al Baumer Jr, CEO of Baumer Foods. "And we were able to develop and maintain a distinct flavor to it, and that's what everybody likes about it."
That flavor has delighted Louisiana residents since the 1920s, helping it to become one of the biggest hot sauce brands in the country.
Voters chose it to be the best hot sauce in last year's Best of New Orleans Awards. (Click here to vote on this year's ballot!)
We visited the Baumer Foods facility in Reserve to find out how exactly the hot sauce is done.

ANDERSON, Ind. — About 15 Madison County retirees who object to proposed changes in Social Security benefits picketed outside City Hall on Tuesday.
Their protest was part of a national day of action organized by the Alliance for Retired Americans. The alliance opposes a new way of calculating benefits called the "chained CPI." Benefits are currently tied to the Consumer Price Index, but the new plan gaining traction in Washington could lead to lower benefits.
Protesters chose City Hall because U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, R-5th District, has an office there.
"This is something all the Republicans are going to agree on, but hopefully protests like ours will make a difference," said Jim Hensley, a retired General Motors employee and union activist.
But it also has support from the Obama administration, according to some published reports.
Cost-of-living adjustments to monthly benefits are supposed to help retirees keep up with rising living standards and costs.
The idea behind the "chained CPI" is that as costs go up recipients will find cheaper alternatives to the foods and other items they buy, according to a handout from the alliance.
However, what that doesn't take into account is the rising cost of heath care, which consumes a larger percentage of the income of senior citizens.
According to the alliance, the new calculation would mean an immediate cut in benefits, and could result in the loss of more than $6,000 over 15 years for someone who retired in 2011 at age 65.
"This is not going to help the budget deficit, or help the taxpayer," Hensley said. "They're just trying to cut our benefits."
The protesters were in front of City Hall for about an hour, and responded to the honking horns of passing motorists.

In the community of men who portray Santa Claus, there is a longstanding disagreement over the best way to embody the big man. You might call it the Great Beard Debate.
It is a discussion that happens away from the public, for part of the ethic of portraying Santa is to never pull back the curtain. But at Santa Claus schools and conventions, the topic is said to incite great passion and inflame egos, with each side willing to agree on just one thing: the other side has it wrong.

How do I know when it is time to come in for a checkup?
We recommend that patients with good oral health schedule a checkup and hygiene visit twice each year. If you need more frequent visits, we'll let you know. Checkups are important because, even if you don't notice any pain or problems with your teeth, we may find signs of potential problems. For instance, demineralization is a precursor to decay, oral cancer often goes undetected until the later stages, and gum disease can be very stealthy. At your hygiene appointment, we'll clean plaque, tartar, and hardened food particles from your teeth. We'll also make sure your gums are healthy and strong.
watch video - Regular Dental Visits
I avoid dental visits because of anxiety...is this normal? Can you help?
Many people fear dental visits because of negative past experiences or control issues. We understand dental anxiety and offer a solution to help you overcome your stress. With oral conscious sedation, and The Wand for anesthesia delivery, we can help you gain full peace of mind and body so that you can receive the dental work you need – and deserve.
My smile is missing teeth. What do you suggest I do?
You'll need to first schedule a consultation with the dentist. He can assess your oral health and discuss options for replacement teeth. In general, you can choose from crown and bridgework, partial or full dentures, or dental implants. As the most natural prosthetic to natural tooth structure, a dental implant offers the most long lasting, comfortable, natural-looking choice.

watch video - Removable Partial Denture
How can improve my smile?
That sounds like an easy question to answer, but it isn't! Your smile is unique, and we won't compromise your individuality with smile enhancements. Smile design dentistry done right requires an initial consultation in which we will discuss your goals, preferences, and options for care. Generally speaking, we may suggest porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, all-white restorations, and/or replacement teeth.
