TROY - Troy University political science lecturer Dr. Michael Slobodchikoff has released his second book, "Building Hegemonic Order Russia's Way: Order, Stability and Predictability in the Post-Soviet Space."
This book examines Russia's emergence after the collapse of the Soviet Union and its creation of a security architecture in the post-Soviet space. Many scholars argue that Russia is a coercive power in the region that forces states to act in only its own interests. While acknowledging Russia's power, Slobodchikoff argues that it is not able to merely force states to behave as it wants them to. Instead, Russia must use bilateral and multilateral cooperation to develop a security architecture that provides order, stability and predictable behavior for both Russia as the hegemon and the weaker powers in the region.
"While Western politicians have argued that Russia has tried to reestablish the Soviet Union through coercive means, the reality is much more of a nuanced interaction among all of the states in the region, which ensures state sovereignty while allowing the weaker states to pursue their own interests," he said.Read More

"For me the best part is that I am native Montgomerian," she said. "I've lived a bunch of places and around, and was constantly asked about Montgomery—and it was always in the negative. You're last in everything. And for me the thing is, shake my hand and thank me. Because as Alabamans, we aired our dirty laundry to the world and made the world a better place."
For more than 13 years, Norman has helped ensure that an important chapter in the airing of Alabama's dirty laundry—the Montgomery Bus Boycott—remains understood and relevant to current generations in her role as director of Troy University's Rosa Parks Museum. She will retire at the end of September, and under her leadership the museum has hosted more than 564,000 visitors from around the world who have heard the story of Rosa Parks and the events Dec. 1, 1955.Read More

Renowned Malayalam poet and social activist, Sugathakumari, has called upon the Centre to cancel whatever clearances it had given for setting up a private Greenfield airport at Aranmula that required conversion of a vast expanse of paddy fields, wetland and demolition of hills.
Ms. Sugathakumari was addressing a march staged by the People's Joint Action Council to the post office at Aranmula for sending a mass memorandum to the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday.
She claimed that 72 of the 140 members of the State Legislature, that includes six UDF MLAs, have signed the memorandum.
The poet said the proposed project would be a bane to the heritage village of Aranmula as it would lead to destruction of the age-old agrarian culture and tradition and not to speak of the hazardous socio-environmental implications in store. She said the Aranmula Puncha (paddy land) has been the riparian flood plain area of river Pampa and implementation of the proposed airport project would lead to the river's death.
Ms Sugathakumari alleged that the State government too has been supporting the private project and has even accepted the 10 per cent equity offered to it by the airport company.
A large number of people, including leaders of different socio-political organisations and women, took part in the march that began from the steps of the centuries' old Sree Parthasarathy Temple.
V.D. Satheesan, C.P. Mohammed, Palode Ravi, T.N. Prathapan, all Congress(I) MLAs; T.A. Ahamed Kabeer, MLA of Indian Union Muslim League and M.V. Shreyamskumar, MLA of the Socialist Janata (Democratic); V.R. Krishna Iyer, former Supreme Court judge; K. Sukumaran, P. K. Shamsuddin, P. S. Gopinathan, all former High Court Judges; Cardinal Mar Baselius Cleemis Catholicos, Archbishop Susaipakiyam, Gabriel Mar Gregorios Metropolitan, Swai Golokananda of Sree Ramakrishna Mission, Swami Sandeepananda Giri, religious leaders; V.M. Sudheeran, O. Rajagopal, Mullakkara Ratnakaran, Panniyan Raveendran, M.A. Baby, C.P. Narayanan, V. Muraleedharan, Binoy Viswom, N.K. Premachandran, political leaders; M.T. Vasudevan Nair, O.N.V. Kurup, literary personalities, and Adoor Gopalakrishnan, renowned film maker, and Kummanam Rajashekharan, Aranmula Heritage Village Action Council chief patron, were among those who have signed the memorandum.
Addressing the march, Mullakkara Ratnakaran, MLA, alleged that it was not at all befitting to a democratically elected Chief Minister to feign ignorance towards the two-year old mass agitation against the airport project. He alleged that Chief Minister Oommen Chandy's statement that the private airport project would be implemented was nothing short of challenging the people who have launched a crusade to protect the paddy land, water and the nature as a whole.
V. Muraleedharan, BJP State president; K. Surendran, BJP State general secretary; Thomas Joseph, RSP State secretariat member; Malethu Saraladevi, KPCC member, K. I. Joseph, CPI(ML)-Red Flag, Kummanam Rajashekharan, P. Induchoodan, AHVAC president; K. Krishnankutty, co-ordinator; P. Prasad, CPI district secretary, and A. Padmakumar, CPI(M) district secretariat member, also addressed the march.
The memorandum was sent by post to the Prime Minister from the Aranmula Post Office, later.

Scoop: AMERICAN DAD on FOX - Sunday, June 15, 2014
Thwarted in their efforts to secure dates for the upcoming high school prom, Steve (Scott Grimes) and Snot (guest voice Curtis Armstrong) turn to the CIA's cloning machine to churn out two willing ladies. But, when the device produces two uber-fast-growing newborn babies, the boys must break out their fathering skills to ready them in time for prom night. Meanwhile, Stan (Seth MacFarlane) takes home the CIA's cloned pet, Daren the Dodo, with disastrous consequences in the "Steve and Snot's Test-Tubular Adventure" episode of AMERICAN DAD airing Sunday, June 15 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX (DAD-801) (TV-14 D, L, S, V)
Voice Cast: Seth MacFarlane as Stan Smith and Roger the Alien; Wendy Schaal as Francine Smith; Rachael MacFarlane as Hayley; Scott Grimes as Steve; Dee Bradley Baker as Klaus; Jeff Fischer as Jeff.
Guest Voice Cast: John Cho as Jewel, Mae Whitman as Glitter
AMERICAN DAD follows staunch GOP supporter and CIA agent STAN SMITH (Seth MacFarlane) and the misadventures of his unconventional family in Langley Falls, VA. The series returns this fall for a 10th and final season on FOX.
Stan's blissfully unaware wife, FRANCINE (Wendy Schaal), has an unfaltering loyalty that allows her to turn a blind eye toward Stan's unabashed arrogance. Meanwhile, Stan constantly butts heads with his 18-year-old left-wing activist daughter, HAYLEY (Rachael MacFarlane), who knows just how to push her father's buttons, whether it's by helping the homeless, demanding women's rights or advocating gun control. Hayley's 14-year-old brother is the geeky yet cocky STEVE (Scott Grimes), a kid who spends his time playing video games and obsessing about the opposite sex.
The Smith cabinet is rounded out by two rather unconventional members. There's the sassy and sarcastic space alien ROGER (Seth MacFarlane), who lives in the attic, loves to play dress-up and ran for U.S. President in 2012; and KLAUS (Dee Bradley Baker), an attention-starved goldfish with the brain of a German guy who always throws in his two cents regardless of whether anyone is listening.
This screwball family full of radically different personalities is just trying to figure out how to love and trust one another in a bi-partisan world. And with a guy like Stan in charge of national security, it's guaranteed to be one wacky ride.

"Delicious! I made 15 pops in paper cups -- and the hint of using a muffin tin is wonderful! I made a few minor changes to the recipe however, instead of vanilla yogurt (didn't have any on hand) I used plain/low-fat yogurt with a splash of vanilla and a spoonful of sugar added. I also used fresh strawberries which I pureed in the blender as indicated but then added the juice/yogurt to the blender and blended all together before pouring the mixture into the paper cups. Thanks for sharing this super easy recipe!"

Tennis's 10 Greatest Rivalries
Wimbledon is upon us. Will Federer and Nadal face off yet again? Or Will Novak Djokovic make his presence felt? To prepare we declare tennis's tensest duels
2. Chris Evert vs. Martina Navratilova
Head to Head: 43–37, Navratilova
Essential Match: 1984 U.S. Open Final, Navratilova 4-6 6-4 6-4
Again, two players wildly dissimilar in style, personality, and demeanor. Evert was the All-American girl who hugged the baseline. Navratilova, the lesbian from the Eastern bloc, was an expert at charging the net. They faced off about as often as the Yankees and Red Sox with Navratilova holding the slight edge—she won 13consecutive matches over Evert from 1982-1984, including the 1984 U.S. Open Final, which was played on the most celebrated day in tennis, Super Saturday. Both players won 18 Grand Slam singles titles and remain close friends to this day.

WILKES-BARRE - Ron Felton, president of the Wilkes-Barre NAACP issued a statement today on the shooting death of 14-year-old Tyler Winstead.
The statement follows:
Wednesday a candlelight vigil was held on Public Square by the Wilkes-Barre NAACP, and the Peace Center in a show of support to the family of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17 year old who was shot and murdered on February 26, 2012. Trayvon was shot and murdered while returning from the store with a bag of Skittles, and a iced tea. His parents are seeking justice in that the man who murdered their son is arrested and brought to justice.
Less than forty-eight hours after the candlelight vigil, another innocent unarmed 14-year-old boy was shot, and murdered less than three doors from his home. The victim of a drive-by shooting, I'm deeply disturbed, and depressed by this shooting since I know the family of this young boy, Tyler Winstead. This most recent violent incident has occurred right in our own backyard on Hill Street in Wilkes-Barre. My most sincere and deepest sympathies are extended to the family in their period of mourning.
Dr. Scott Richardson, of the Diversity Institute, Misericordia University, made mention of this exact type of violence during the candlelight vigil. Already, I've received a call from a concerned citizen offering their support in a public protest of this violent act. However, at this point, I encourage anyone with information that can assist law enforcement in capturing, and bringing those responsible to justice, to contact the Wilkes-Barre Police Department (570) 208-4200. I would like to applaud Mayor Thomas Leighton for the urgency, and priority he has assigned to this case.

Nationals trade just-acquired David DeJesus to Rays
Aug 23, 2013, 1:18 PM EST
All that speculation about how the Nationals didn't necessarily even want David DeJesus when they claimed him off waivers and then acquired him from the Cubs last week? Looks pretty spot, as they've now traded him to the Rays.
That means DeJesus' stint with Washington lasted all of three games and four plate appearances, which makes general manager Mike Rizzo's quotes about why he acquired the veteran outfielder pretty damn amusing.
DeJesus' contract has a $6.5 million option or $1.5 million buyout for next season and the Nationals have a set outfield in Bryce Harper, Denard Span, and Jayson Werth, so it never made a whole lot of sense. However, in Tampa Bay he should play fairly regularly down the stretch (and possibly into the playoffs) and could have a sizable role for 2014.
DeJesus can play all three outfield spots and is usually good for an OPS around .750, including good on-base skills and modest power. Tampa Bay is sending Washington the standard player to be named later or cash considerations.
- edelmanfanclub - Aug 23, 2013 at 1:24 PM
Overall a decent player, hasn't done much since he left KC but good for a WAR around 1 or 2. Not a bad pickup since they didn't give up much.

"However, in Tampa Bay he should play fairly regularly down the stretch (and possibly into the playoffs) and could have a sizable role for 2014."
His splits are absolutely horrendous against LHP'ers the Rays might as well have a cardboard cutout standing in the batters box when it's time for DeJesus to bat.
- Ben Cerow - Aug 23, 2013 at 1:49 PM
Probably won't play a lot against lefties, but decent splits against RHP's. So he'll play quite a bit against against righties, who are like 75% of MLB pitching, in other words… "he should play fairly regularly down the stretch"…
- uyf1950 - Aug 23, 2013 at 2:27 PM
Not sure your numbers are that accurate it's probably closer to 60 or 65%. And against the teams in the AL East who they play most often it's probably closer to 60%. And let's remember they haven't played the Angels yet this season and while the Angels are struggling they do have 2 very good lefties (CJ Wilson and Jason Vargas). I'm just not sure he's going to get as much action as either you or the writer of the article thinks. We'll see.
- delsj - Aug 23, 2013 at 3:02 PM
They don't need him against lefties, they just signed Delmon Young.
- APBA Guy - Aug 23, 2013 at 1:58 PM
Plus, he's got a good OBP against righties, so he may bat somewhere near the top of the order, .346 v RHP.
This gives the Rays the flexibility to keep Zobrist at second with Joyce, DeJesus and Jennings in the OF and Myers at DH vs righties, plus numerous other matchup and rest possibilities.
- buddaley - Aug 23, 2013 at 3:58 PM
I am guessing that Joyce goes to DH and DeJesus plays LF with Myers in RF. DeJesus is a pretty decent defensive outfielder while Joyce has struggled there this year. And I think the Rays want Myers to get as much time in the field as possible; he has been ok so far and will probably get better with experience.
- natstowngreg - Aug 23, 2013 at 2:09 PM
It was odd to hear Rizzo talk about the Nats having another run at the playoffs, while Davey talked about looking at some guys in September. With the DeJesus and Suzuki deals, looks like Davey's view is the operative one.
Adam Kilgore tries to explain the DeJesus situation. If he's confused, I'll be damned if I know why this situation happened.
- delusionalcubsfan - Aug 23, 2013 at 2:12 PM
He's a very solid player. Works counts, plays solid defense and is a good clubhouse guy. Should fit in well with the Rays and now he gets a real chance to help a playoff team. I still don't understand why the Nationals traded for him in the first place though.
- nolanwiffle - Aug 23, 2013 at 4:02 PM
I was hoping to see his wife at Nats Park before the end of summer. Alas…..
- TheMorningStar - Aug 23, 2013 at 2:49 PM
…while up in the Bronx Brain Cashman scratches his head in amazement thinking " the Devil Rays traded for a halfway decent player and they did it wirhout having to eat half his contract like i had to with Vernon Wells??"
- coloradogolfcoupons - Aug 23, 2013 at 4:42 PM
Due to who he has played for…Royals, Cubs, and I don't root for either, and they are not staples on national TV…I don't think I have ever seen him hit. As much as I watch MLB.TV, and regional and national telecasts, that seems an impossibility. I have probably seen Jesus as much as DeJesus, and lord knows I haven't seen Jesus much.
- sumerduckman - Aug 23, 2013 at 5:30 PM
Something about this smells. Mike Rizzo wouldn't go to all this trouble just to keep the Braves from signing him, would he?
- acdc84 - Aug 24, 2013 at 1:12 AM
My initial reaction was that WAS claimed him to block a team they're chasing from picking him up for the home stretch, but after checking the standings it looks like WAS wont have to worry about chasing anyone for a playoff spot THIS year.

DC-area officials cheer federal 'shelter-in-place' snow strategy
Capital region officials cheered the Office of Personnel Management's "shelter-in-place" option for snow emergencies. Having people stay at the office during sudden or extreme snowstorms would lessen gridlock, officials told lawmakers Wednesday. They also urged area workers to know their children's school emergency policies and have backup childcare arrangements in place.

One of the largest federal-employee unions has called on Congress to pass new legislation to retain a pretax mass-transit commuter benefit, which is set to be cut nearly in half starting in January. In a letter to members of the House and Senate, NTEU President Colleen Kelley said reducing the $230-a-month transit benefit would affect tens of thousands of federal employees that rely on public transportation to get to and from work.

We recently received this email from one of our users:
"Hi guys, my name's Kev and I'd like to share with you my strategy for winning on virtual football.
"Most bookmakers now have the facility to bet on virtual football matches. These are real teams but played in a virtual world. Each season lasts just an hour so rather than waiting for Saturday to come round you can play 24 seasons in a day.
"Now the results are generated and each league has a resemblance to current statistics. ie. You will always see Man United near the top.
"All teams will win lose and draw each season as normal. So this is how I make consistent profit.
"Method 1. Select any team to draw if they have not done so by around week 15, then starting with a small stake back this team to draw for every match until they do so. Sure this is progressive betting but you will receive odds of between 3.5 to 5.5 so the progressive stakes will never get too large. When you record your win stop and wait until the next season.
"Method 2. This is my favourite method but the stakes will be progressively higher than backing the draws.
"a. Firstly check past seasons results and determine which teams finish in the bottom 3.
"b.Select one of these poor teams and back them to lose home and away, you should never have more than 4 losing bets on the trot, and follow them until they have recorded 15 losses for the season. (They will probably lose 20 times or more but don't get greedy)
"c. Even by starting with a stake of 10p you should expect to make between £2 and £4 for that season.
"This system works for me all the time – test in demo mode first until you understand everything and remember keep starting stakes low until your bank increases by betting on virtual football.

Boys, it seems, just wanna have fun. Joe Ovelman has proof. The multimedia artist, whose sexy, diaristic snapshots have been popping up on Chelsea construction hoardings for years, brings his guerrilla aesthetic indoors with a show that's as shrewd as it is witty. Channeling Cary Leibowitz, Sean Landers, Terry Richardson, and chat-room porn, Ovelman fills the gallery with words, images, and oddly poignant relics, including a grid of 96 plastic baggies containing dirt-encrusted used condoms scavenged from the Central Park Ramble. That famous gay trysting ground is rendered as an austere Garden of Eden in the back room here, where every surface has been papered with Xeroxed photos of bare branches and blue sky. In between these installations, Ovelman has arranged a group of rude Post-It drawings and notes ("Knock for blowjob," "Raw's good," "Where do you want it?") and a juicy array of color and black-and-white photos (sailor, cop, hairy asshole, soaped-up boy in shower) pinned right to the wall. In Ovelman's queer take on sex and the city, raw is definitely good.

|UK version is a better deal
The reason for 8 movies is WB handled the international release of Sweeney Todd not the domestic release and it probably wouldnt be helpful buying the UK version due to region locks.

I believe all those movies are actually 1.77:1 ratio originally, with the exception maybe of Mars Attacks. Still widescreen, but not scope.

Casinos face a losing streak as economy recovers
Julie Jacobson, Associated Press
The card games and slot machines of the gambling industry are built on taking chances, but reports on the economics of the industry highlight how the real risk may be betting on the casinos themselves.
"Outside of Las Vegas — now home to only 20 percent of the nation's casino industry — casino gambling has evolved into a downscale business. Affluent and educated people visit casinos less often than poorer people do," The Atlantic reported. "Unfortunately for the casino industry's growth hopes, downscale America has less money to spend today than it did before 2007. Nor is downscale America sharing much in the post-2009 recovery."
The article explained that cities are failing to recognize the contracted market for casino gambling, relying instead on old-fashioned ideas about the boost casinos can offer to a struggling local economy.
"Casinos promise a new and easy flow of revenues to hard-pressed local governments. The promise however comes increasingly hedged with fine print," The Atlantic reported.
Beyond the ongoing money woes among the casino industry's target population, the market is facing overcrowding.
"Analysts, economists and casino operators warn that the industry is already suffering the effects of fierce competition, if not saturation, even in the Northeast, once a rich, untapped market. Winnings are flat or shrinking in many places," The New York Times reported.
The Times' coverage included an interactive graphic detailing "the crowded market for casino gambling" in the Northeast. Although total revenue has increased from 1990 to 2013, the market share for individual casinos is shrinking.
The gambling industry may also suffer from growing awareness of the social consequences a new casino can bring to town. The Atlantic highlighted the "Why Casinos Matter" report from the Institute for American Values, explaining that the "evidence should worry any responsible city government."
The report offers an overview of 31 different ways the casino industry impacts communities. It describes many negative side effects of building a casino, including lower property values for nearby homes and the weakening of other local businesses.
"Whether or not you personally gamble in them, the new casinos matter. They are influencing the nation as a whole. They are affecting our health, our economics, our politics, our ideas and social values, and perhaps even our sense of who we are as a people and what obligations we have toward one another. They appear to be connected in important ways to the rise of American inequality," the report explained.
But the American Gaming Association paints a sunnier picture of casino gambling. Its "Get to Know Gaming" survey reported that public support for gaming is at an all-time high and that "nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of casino visitors leave the property to spend money at neighboring local small businesses and other attractions."
Public opinion has evolved overtime, as the promise of high revenues encouraged government leaders to ignore the unsavory environment associated with casino gambling.
"Politicians of both parties were afraid to raise taxes and looked for alternatives," Article 3 reported. "When that wasn't enough to keep things in balance, they did just about the last thing possible — they legalized casino gambling."
An overcrowded market may turn the tide against the gambling industry, the article explained, as the decision to build a casino becomes a riskier bet.
