Tuesday was a good time to be on top of the Southwestern 4A basketball standings.
Unbeaten Myers Park High clinched the girls top seed at next weeks tournament with a 77-37 win against Independence while the Patriots boys did the same with a 71-56 victory against the Mustangs.
Myers Parks girls (23-0, 13-0) never trailed and had 10 players break into the scoring column, paced by guard Aliyah Mazyck with 23 points. Saadia Timpton followed with 16 and Rydeiah Rogers pumped in 11.
We just want to play hard all the time, and I felt like today was one of the first times for 32 minutes we just played hard, Mustangs coach Barbara Nelson said. I think the kids wanted us to have something positive to say today.
There were plenty of positives for Myers Park, which made quick work of the Patriots, bolting to a 31-2 lead after one quarter behind Mazycks 11 points and Timptons eight. Both had 14 points at halftime, and the Mustangs held a comfortable 46-9 advantage. Defensively, Myers Park limited Independences (3-17, 3-10) possessions and disrupted the Patriots attempts to establish rhythm outside of Laquisha Taylor, who scored 20 points in the second half.
I thought we played hard and I thought we were very focused, Nelson said. We knew what we wanted to do tonight and we looked like we knew what we wanted to do. We shared the ball really well and I thought we got on the boards.
Independence (18-5, 11-2), which won two games last year, continued its breakout boys season by pulling away from Myers Park (10-13, 6-7), which is battling Rocky River for the fourth seed and a postseason berth. The Patriots, who clinched the top spot with Rocky Rivers 44-41 win against Ardrey Kell, led 13-12 at the end of the first quarter, then exploded for a 26-11 run in the second to grab the momentum for keeps. It feels great, just to see the kids success coming their way because they work so hard, Patriots coach Preston Davis said.
Four Independence players scored in double figures, paced by Jeffery Dennis game-high 16 points and followed by Deion Lanes 15 and 11 each from Workpeh Kofa and Marcus Graves.
Once Independence asserted dominance, the Patriots were never seriously threatened as the defense kept Myers Park off balance while jump-starting Independences transition attack. When the Patriots settled into their half-court offense, they mixed drives to the basket with clutch perimeter shooting to stay in front.
I told them prior to the game were not going to hide (anything), Davis said. Were trying to win the conference title outright and Myers Park is playing for a playoff spot, so we knew they were going to play aggressive.
Three Myers Park players hit double-digit scoring, led by Zaquan Matthews with 15 points and Clayton Masseys 12. Jake Hackworth added 10 for the Mustangs, who close at Rocky River.

It's an exciting time in the world of cellphones.
Verizon Wireless held a pep-rally for it's South Florida employees on Monday in Plantation to talk about the newest phones hitting the stores in October and November. Afterward I was able to take a gander at the new batch of phones, and some of the models are nothing like what customers have seen before.
First out will be the Verizon Wireless Juke by Samsung. It's not thin like a Razr, but it sure is long and skinny. Aside from it coming in a bright red, teal or blue, it's the way that it opens that will catch people's attention. It's not a clam shell, or a slider -- it's a switch blade. The cover flicks 180 degrees counter-clockwise to reveal a keypad.
As its name implies, it is designed for music lovers. But unlike other phones, it is not V CAST music capable.
"We listened to what young customers told us," said Verizon Wireless Florida spokesman Chuck Hamby, and young customers didn't think it was necessary to download through the V CAST network since they can just connect it with their computers to add music. So to bring down the price, the V CAST music technology is not included. It's certainly a device aimed at younger people. For starters, the cover is just so fun to flick it's like a toy. And secondly, the screen is pretty small, so young eyes will have a much easier time using it.
Next out this month is the BlackBerry Pearl, which only Verizon has in a silver-grey color. It's much thinner than other BlackBerrys, and big fingers might have trouble with the squished keypad. Aside from business professionals, Hamby said stores expect this phone to attract working moms on the go wanting a sleek-looking smart phone.
The Venus by LG will hit stores in November (no exact date released yet) and will have not one but two touch screens, one above the other. The larger screen on top slides upward to reveal a number keypad. It comes in both black and pink (we all know how important colors choices are) and has a 2.0 megapixel camera and camcorder. The lower touch screen menu gives a little vibration when a screen button is pressed to confirm you've hit a button.
Similar to the Venus (but much cooler in my opinion) is the Voyager by LG. It has one large touch screen with a great resolution to view videos and browse the web. Like the Venus, it also gives a slight vibration as feedback when an on-screen button is pressed. It flips open sideways to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard with easy-to-press, spaced-out buttons. (Now if only it'll come in pink...)
In the past, Verizon has never announced new phones before they have hit stores. Perhaps the company wants to build hype similar to what Apple has done?
"I can't say that didn't push us," Hamby said of how the iPhone was marketed. But what also influenced the company was that customers were wanting to know what phones were coming out so that they could plan ahead.
Hamby has been visiting employees all over Florida, and South Florida store employees seemed to be most excited about selling The Voyager, he said. Customers in South Florida are serious about buying phones with the cool factor -- more so than in other areas, he said. And if you're not already aware, thin is no longer the big fad. Touch screens are the new thin. These phones may not be paper thin, but it's just not an exceptionally important feature anymore to consumers, Hamby said.
So if you're looking to buy a new phone from Verizon, I'd definitely hold out for another month for these phones to hit stores. If you want to be notified when the phones become available or pre-register to buy any of them, visit verizonwireless.com/next.

Glee Review: "Born This Way"by Chris O'Hara at . Comments
Five stars for Glee's "Born This Way" episode and only because I'm not allowed to give it more. After reading a lot of criticism following last week's episode I have to believe that those left wanting had their prayers answered this week.
Spontaneous songs were back! I don't care if you are a Jackie or Marilyn, Peggy or Joan, Rachel and Quinn's I Feel Pretty/Unpretty mash-up was amazing. The choice of songs was made even more spectacular when we later learned about Quinn's past life as Lucy Caboosey.
While I could have done without the creepy child pageant scene, Lauren played a necessary evil this week as she was instrumental in exposing Quinn's past.
Great Carrie reference from Quinn, by the way, when she mused about Lauren being soaked in pigs blood in front of the entire school.
Speaking of potential humiliation before an entire student body, Kurt's return on the steps of McKinley was anything but. The Warblers soared as they sang farewell to their friend with their rendition of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know."
I know, I know, I couldn't believe no one clapped either. Very much like no one came to the concert last week. We just have to let these inconsistencies slide off our backs and focus on the more genius moments and overall greatness of the show.Like as Kurt received hug after hug goodbye before finally coming face to face with Blaine, was it weird or amazingly appropriate that all I could think of was Dorothy when she said goodbye to the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and lastly Scarecrow?
Sadly though, I think this emotional farewell was a prelude of things to come. The way the camera held on Blaine as he watched Kurt being embraced by his friends sent chills through my body and not the good kind like I got at the beginning of "Born This Way."
I then recalled how just moments earlier Kurt told Blaine that he would never say goodbye to him. That sealed it, sadly, for me. I fear our beloved Blaine will join Pavarotti in the big music hall in the sky, by the end of the season.
For as much as I didn't want to believe my sad realization, I did want to believe Karofsky's apology was genuine. Even if it was scripted by Santana it was good to hear someone on the show talk about the dangers of bullying. She also deserved some snaps for her bevy of memorable quotes this week highlighted by her claim that the only kind of straight she is, is straight bitch.
Fans of Finn were treated to a great solo complete with a healthy dose of his adorably awkward dance moves. Mike Chang accompanied him in green and black and reminded me of Jiminy Cricket as he helped Pinocchio learn how to act like a real boy should. Finn has certainly looked like he was made of wood in the past but he did Sammy Davis Jr. proud on all counts.
Kurt killed it in the Flash Mob scene at the mall and looked smashing in that USA tank from Toddland that has gotten so much press. His real moment of course came as he belted out Barbara's "As If We Never Said Goodbye." Seriously, the first word that came to mind was Emmy! If that performance didn't scream Emmy I don't know what would. All this just days after the 50th anniversary of Judy Garland's famous performance at Carnegie Hall. Kurt returned home from over the rainbow in a sense and will never again be alone. We will continue to watch him fly and teach the world new ways to dream.
In addition to the many memorable quotes from this week, I just wanted to mention a few last things that I loved about this episode.
- All of Santana's mean quips, Finn's puffy pyramid nipples included.
- Sam's Hunt For Red October quote to Santana as she wore that fur Russian Trooper hat.
- The whole fathers and sons meeting in Figgins' office.
- Kurt as he demanded Karofsky learn about both Eve Harrington and PFLAG if he was to be gay.
- How even Santana was moved by Kurt's solo.
- Puck's Jewish pride.
- Emma for getting help finally for her OCD.
- Rachel for realizing how beautiful she really is.
- Lastly the shirts, all of them, Amaze!
OK you've had your fill of Oz references for today, I have rambled on long enough. Lady Gaga you should be proud. As for the rest of you, I am dying to read what you all thought.
i could not have been more happy about this episode! after last week i was left doubting whether or not glee would ever return to its old ways this week was incredible!!! i had started rewatching season 1 and watching last nights episode it fit in perfectly to the old feel. was so happy about the random breaking out and singing by rachel and quinn...that was something that i had missed so much from season 1! great episode glee! you are back on the right track!
but btw. if blaine is killed off i will be more upset than you could imagine!
I think the flash mob scene was filmed in the EXACT same spot as the one from last year where Artie daydreams he can walk. This was indeed like the shows of yesteryear. I breathed a sigh of relief watching an episode that had a message and didn't beat you over the head with it. Two thumbs up.
I'm likely thinking too hard, but the flash mob or the students in the assemblies ... I've kind of figured those are fans of Glee (like weren't there an awful lot of "teachers", meaning older people, in the stands at the Tik Tok assembly[?], who through some promotion or another get to come in to be the audience or, in the mall flash mob ... I thought the scene was likely really filmed at a mall with the dance directors giving some brief direction to the mob and letting the fans go for it, and cutting the film to make it work. I'm probably wrong, but would they have really hired all those people when fans would do it for free? If anyone knows better, please correct me ....
Oops forgot Puck was wonderful and so was Santana that straight up bitch line is added to my favorites.
Loved this episode sang a long at the top of my lungs and cried when the Warblers said goodbye to Kurt. They have to find some way to get Blaine over to New Directions he fits in so well with the show it would be such a loss if he left.
Blaine won't die.... i remember reading it up somewhere that blaine's gonna audition for the new directions in season 3..... also.. he's a great character.... killing him off would be stupid!
wtf blaine can't die!
Anyone else find Kurt's motion during the "orient" phrase (which really, GaGa, why the fuck is that in there? There's accepting yourself and there's belittling others) rather derogatory? I mean, thank god he didn't actually pull back his eyelids in a "slant" motion but jeeze. No? No? Not surprising.
What a sad, sad world we live in. Five stars for Glee. Seriously? It's the worst written show on television. Possibly the worst written show in television history. But the world loves cover versions of songs they hear constantly on the radio, so . . . . Sigh.
I think "Born This Way" episode was by FAR the best episode we've had in a while. It was entertaining with surprising twists (with Quinn's Lucy kaboosey), I was pretty satisfied. However, the flash mob at the mall was totally uncalled for. I mean, wth was that? If I remembered the Safety Dance flash mob, even though it was only a fantasy, this one was boring, uninspiring and rather sloppy. Having said that, I love the Emma storyline, the acting, the dialogues, it was fantastic. My favourite performance was definitely the I Feel Pretty/Unpretty song. Kurt's singing was great, it could stand for an Emmy, but Rachel-Quinn's mash-up was just very moving. As for who I think might die, since rumour has it it's going to be female, I'm betting it on Sue's sister. She's bed ridden and Sue didn't even show this episode. I'm guessing she's gonna play a major part later and besides we haven't seen her sister in a while. If that's going to be true, I just hope the writers are able to make use of her death as best as they possibly could, really wring it dry to get all the juice out.

Hitachi to provide world's fastest elevator
Published on April 21, 2014 by pmnews · No Comments
Japan's Hitachi has said it will provide the world's fastest elevators, which can clock speeds of up to 72 kilometres (45 miles) per hour, to a high-rise building in China.
The lifts will be delivered to the 111-storey, 530-metre (1,740-foot)-tall Guangzhou CTF Financial Centre due to be opened in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou in 2016, the electronics and engineering firm said.
The elevator will be able to travel the length of the 440 metro shaft, from the first to 95th floor, in a stomach-churning 43 seconds.
Hitachi will install a total of 95 elevators at the tower, including two of the superfast lifts, as well as slower machines such as double-decker lifts, the statement said.
The centre will be the tallest building in Guangzhou, complete with office, hotel and residential space.
The world's fastest elevator uses a newly developed permanent magnet motor that achieves both a thin profile and a high output, the statement said.
It is also equipped with a braking system capable of withstanding the terrific heat that might be generated if a malfunction ever develops.
China accounts for about 60 per cent of global demand for elevators and is at the centre of fierce competition among the world's elevator makers, a Hitachi official said.
The world's fastest elevator currently in operation is the 60.6 kilometre per hour lift at Taipei 101, in Taiwan's main city, he said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For the second time in 6 months, a trailer full of horses, owned by Three Angels Farm in Lebanon, wrecked on a busy Nashville highway.
Traffic was slowed on Tuesday afternoon after the horse trailer wrecked on Interstate 440 westbound, south of downtown Nashville.
It happened around 12:45 p.m. at the split from I-24, near mile marker 7.
No injuries were reported, but several police cruisers and TDOT incident trucks were on the scene as they worked to clear the scene.
Officials said the horses were being taken from Lebanon to Texas. Police said there was no collision with another vehicle, the trailer just somehow gave way. Thirty-six of the horses inside had to be moved to another trailer while one had to be euthanized when it couldn't stand up.
Police said the trailer belonged to Three Angels Farms in Lebanon. In January, a tractor trailer from Three Angels Farms hauling 36 horses overturned on Interstate 40 outside Nashville. Approximately 36 horses were on board at the time of the crash. Four of them died in the crash.
Initially two lanes were blocked while crews worked to clear the scene.
Officials with the Tennessee Highway Patrol were inspecting the truck and said that charges could be filed pending the results of the investigation.

Drought drives groundwater drilling frenzy
Sasha Khokha/KQED
Drillers are bringing in large rigs like this one from all over the west, to drill deeper wells in the quest for water.
The drought has meant a drilling boom in California for water.
There's been hardly any help from the sky or the Sierra snowpack this year, so farmers and ranchers are leaning heavily on pumping groundwater. New studies show that as groundwater is drained from the huge aquifer in the Central Valley, it's putting more stress on the San Andreas Fault, triggering earthquakes.
The California Report's Sasha Khokha has the story.

In a perfect storm of British rakishness, custom tailor Duncan Quinn has fully kitted out a London double-decker bus with custom suits and cocktails. And he's on his way to a town near you.
We got a sneak peak at the whole operation last night over a few barrel-aged rum cocktails (yes, those will be along for the ride) in the upstairs speakeasy and were duly impressed with the roominess of the downstairs menswear shop on wheels. The tour began last night in NYC with a three-night stint and will continue in Miami for another three nights starting February 20. It will then make its final stop in LA for another three nights starting March 26. As you can imagine, time and space is limited, so drop Mr. Quinn a line if you'd like to get suited up when he's in town.
Here are a few more sneak peeks at the magic school bus of handsomeness that will be making the tri-coastal voyage.»

The Britons have been doing pretty well for themselves lately, but we're surprised to see the latest trend coming from a corner of history we overlooked. Remember the Raj? Apparently Savile Row forgot too.
The empire may not have worked out so well, but certain designers are indulging in a little Kinks-y nostalgia. Duncan Quinn—whom you may know from a MOTH or two—just unveiled his latest line of ready-to-wear ties, inspired by the British Raj, and paired with a few of our favorite helmets, in case you need protective headgear to go with your new look.

So far Fashion Week has been pretty much of a disappointment sartorially; blame it on the morons who decided to hold the thing in the middle of February, when inclement weather dictates that one must choose comfort over style, like it or not.
Still, we've seen a couple of standouts at the various shows and parties; first up, natty Nigel Barker, the London-born photographer and *America's Next Top Model* judge, pictured here at the Betsey Johnson show with fashion maven Mary Alice Stephenson.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Impact Your World
A Fundraiser's Resume
I was a consultant for the last 10 years of my 20 year career as a fundraiser and I was used to the mentality of "feast or famine", or as they say crudely in sales, "eating what you kill". The ebbs an flows of business development and clients was common place for me, and for that I am exceedingly grateful because it provided me with the tools necessary to adapt and reinvent myself in this new world.
I have had colleagues and friends call me who never thought in a million years they would be looking for another position after being let go from a job they loved. Although I am no longer personally fundraising, when I was, I was very good at it and I have spent two decades in the field and know what I would want to see in a fundraiser for a social enterprise or non-profit organization.
Yes, we could talk about realistic expectations of executive directors and board members at non-profit organizations, but for the time being, that will be a subject I will tackle another day. In the meantime, I want to focus on what minimum requirements and skills a good fundraiser should make certain to have on their resume.
Fundraising is not sales, but they share something in common – a track record. Unless you are starting out for the first time in an entry level fundraising position, if I were looking to hire a good fundraiser, I want to see on the resume a track record of performance. The most critical things for me would be the following:
• Dollars Raised – If I were a hiring manager, I want to see how much you raised in each of your fundraising positions, and I also want to see by what percentage you increased fundraising. For better or worse, fundraising performance is the biggest selling point you have with regard to obtaining a new job. For example, I want to know if you raised $10 million annually and increased fundraising revenue by 15%.
• Largest Gift – I want to know what the largest gift you had a hand in securing, whether it is an individual, corporation, foundation or trust. I recognize that fundraising is oftentimes a team effort, but it is important to let prospective employers know what you have accomplished. If you helped raise $250,000 for your organization, that is important to have on your resume.
• Management – In order to progress in your career, it is typically important to obtain management experience. The challenge is many non-profits tend to be small and sometimes there are few opportunities to gain management experience. If you managed staff, make sure to place that on your resume – even if it is one person. If you have not managed staff, if you have managed and coordinated volunteers or interns, use that experience.
• Education – The non-profit sector is full of highly educated individuals. Make sure you list your degrees and credentials. I have had conversations with a few people who decline to put their graduate degree because they think they will appear "over qualified". Perhaps that is so in some organizations, but would you really want to work there in that scenario? We all work hard and spend an enormous amount of time and money on our education, it's not something that we should have to deny.
• Professional and Volunteer Affiliations – Finally, if I were looking to hire a fundraiser, their volunteer and professional involvement in the sector, outside of work, is very important to me. Simply, it shows you have an interest in growing within your career and are seeking professional development opportunities.

Landlord convicted in fatal shooting over rent
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A Bridgeport landlord who once boasted he'd be acquitted of murder has instead been convicted in a shooting over rent money and faces up to 65 years in prison.
Jimmy Cunningham was convicted on Friday of fatally shooting an unarmed man he claimed was in self-defense. The Connecticut Post reports (http://bit.ly/15h7P7F ) that the 41-year-old Cunningham told court employees before the trial he would not be sent to prison.

.- Bishop Marcelo Raul Martorell of Puerto Iguazu, Argentina reminded Catholics on Nov. 14 that God will always watch over those who are persecuted because of their faith in Christ. Even in "the extreme cases of losing their lives," he explained, "they will have gained eternal life."
In his Sunday homily, the bishop noted that "our worries, protests or arguments will not obtain the victory for us, but rather our perseverance in faith in Christ and our trust in him, despite the storms that engulf us."
"Often in life it seems that evil triumphs," he said. Often, "those who ignore God find success and fortune while those who do good, who exercise charity and keep the precepts of the Lord suffer illness, sorrow and the inequity of man," he continued. Nevertheless, "the day will come when God himself will put things in their proper place and impart justice."
"The day of judgment will be like a devastating fire for those who spread death and do not respect life as a gift from God," the bishop warned. "We must be cautious and discerning," he noted. "We must not listen to those who contradict Scripture, and those who are not in line with the Church and the Pope's teachings."

The results of the November elections likely will have more impact on the surface transport bill than the next five weeks of negotiations in Congress before the month-long summer recess.
Signs abound that the Senate and House won't come to an agreement before August, the unofficial cutoff for passage of a bill before year-end. House Speaker John Boehner hinted earlier this month he might push for a six-month extension if Congress can't pass a bill before the funding extension expires on June 30, according to reports. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid isn't ready to give up on the bill, but said he favors a six-month extension to get negotiations past the election season if an accord can't be struck.
House proposals to cut transportation spending and shift funding "more fairly" to states suggest the chamber, which failed to pass a bill, is still divided. The House push for approval of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, along with easing regulation on coal ash, also face strong Senate resistance.
Sniping earlier this month shows just how ugly partisan rhetoric could derail conference negotiations. Reid, D-Nev., accused House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., of sabotaging conference negotiations to hurt the economy, according to Politico. A spokesman for Boehner called the accusation "bull___."
No wonder transportation groups such as the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials are calling on Congress to focus on the matter at hand: transportation. Some of this could be written off as political posturing, but the fact the chambers haven't begun discussing funding, the linchpin of the bill, suggests Congress won't beat the buzzer.
The looming Highway Trust Fund bankruptcy will only increase pressure on Congress to pass a bill no matter how the elections turn out, said Joshua Schank, president of the Eno Transportation Foundation. Although the precise date of when the main engine for federal highway construction will sputter is unclear, estimates range from early 2013 until later that summer. Congress will have to decide whether to cut funding to avoid exhausting the Trust Fund or to prop it up with dollars from the general fund.
The former options likely will be pushed more strenuously if the House keeps or expands its roster of fiscal conservative Republicans. A recent House motion on a proposal to instruct conferees to limit transportation spending to what could come from the Trust Fund failed overwhelmingly, but shows the difficulty House leaders will have in getting fellow members to agree to maintain current spending levels.
The Senate's two-year, $109 billion bill aims to maintain spending levels, though its use of "pay-fors" that will last for up to 10 years has drawn Republican criticism. The House failed to pass its five-year, $260 billion plan, and instead approved a 90-day funding extension in mid-April to enter conference with the Senate.
Much of how future transportation negotiations will fare depends on whether Republicans or Democrats gain a clear dominance in either chamber, Schank said. Republicans currently hold the power in the House, while Democrats have the voting edge by a slim margin in the Senate.
If Republicans sweep the election, they could see their wins as a referendum on their efforts to cut spending. A clear Democratic win, however, could find the party still at odds with House Republicans. A strong Obama win could embolden the president to push harder for proposals to spend billons more annually on transportation, but that would require a lot of "political capital," Schank said.
There is also a slight chance a surface transport authorization could be passed in the "lame-duck session," said Greg Cohen, president and CEO of the American Highway Users Alliance. An agreement on transportation spending might come out of a deal on the soon-to-expire Bush tax cuts or the looming debt crisis. Plugging the anticipated shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund with money from the Treasury is one option — it's been done before — but raising the fuel tax is unlikely, Cohen said.
"It looks like the next Congress will be even less into raising taxes than this one," he said.

Follow this Order of Service as you lead the opening of Workshop 9, Commitment.
Chalice Lighting
Guided Meditation
Welcome participants. Explain that this workshop is devoted to the concept of commitment. Participants will explore different forms of commitment and learn skills to help them protect and enhance their commitment to each other.
Light the chalice while reading the following words:
We light this chalice as a symbol of our faith: to seek truth and honesty, to build respect, and to foster greater trust among all people, beginning with ourselves. May we dedicate our time together to these purposes.
Introduce the guiding Unitarian Universalist Principle for this workshop:
We covenant to affirm and promote the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.
Our loving relationships are intimately connected with what happens in the greater world. Relationships can teach us to value — or devalue — community, justice, liberty, and peace. When we enact love and justice in our relationships, we are better equipped to enact them in the wider world. The commitments couples make with one another can fuel commitments to live their values socially and politically. By taking charge of personal behaviors, by committing to principles, by learning to cope with difficulties and change in a constructive manner, by living a life of generosity and good intention through loving and compassionate relationships, we help ensure that a similarly positive world becomes a more realistic vision.
Lead participants through the following guided meditation to center them for the rest of the workshop. Read the words slowly, pausing between phrases.
I invite you into a time of silence. Try to sit with your spine straight, with your feet flat on the floor. Perhaps close your eyes. Take a deep breath, inhale . . . and exhale. Take another deep breath . . . and exhale. Again; this time, as you exhale, let go of all the pressures of the day. Let go of the "to dos," the "should haves" . . . just let them float out of the room. You can return to them later. Take another deep breath. As you inhale, take in the energy of this place. As you exhale, let go of any tension or stress you might be feeling.
[Long pause]
Come into this place of connection. Envision yourself expressing your commitment to your partner. It is a gift you are giving each other. What does it feel like? What does it look like?
[Sit in silence for two to three minutes.]
Please maintain this spirit during the reading.
Read words by Judith Meyer, 672 in Singing the Living Tradition.
Sit in silence for a few moments before saying:
When you are ready, please bring your focus back into this room and join our check-in.

to plot EER graphs with

The expert golfers will include Peter Jacobsen (pro golfer), Pete Dye (famous golf course architect), Brian McCallen (former travel editor of Golf magazine and author of Top 100 Courses You Can Play), Christie Kerr (pro golfer), and Donald Trump. There will also be a foreword by golf pro Mark O'Meara. Chapter contents will include interviews from the recommending personality, a brief bio, a history of the course, an experiential account with as much local colour as possible, and some "if you go" information.

(Updates with bond sale plans in second paragraph and economist's comments in third.)
Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- China's local governments can repay debts taken on by city and provincial financing vehicles as it encourages them to build affordable homes in cities where housing prices are high, the central government said.
Banks can lend to financing vehicles of municipalities that have been "cleaned up" or those that can pay back their debts by themselves, it said in a statement on its website. The companies can also sell bonds to finance the program, it said.
China plans to build 10 million units of affordable housing this year as home price gains threaten affordability. The State Council urged local governments to increase supply of economic housing, a category of affordable homes, in cities where home prices are "relatively high," according to the statement.
"The reiteration of supporting affordable housing itself says it all: top policy makers will not ease tightening policies on the housing market any time soon," Li Wei, a Shanghai-based economist for Standard Chartered Bank, said in an e-mailed reply.
New home prices climbed in all 70 cities monitored by the government for the first time in August from a year earlier, undercutting government efforts to cool the market.
'Financial Risks'
Local governments had total debts of 10.7 trillion yuan as of last year, according to a national audit released in June. Social housing, education and health care made up 9.5 percent of the money used, compared to 37 percent for city infrastructure, the audit said. A total of 42 percent of the debt is due to be repaid this year and next year, it said.
Local governments are not allowed to give guarantees to the financing vehicles to allow them to raise funds. In some cases local governments had illegally used their guarantee to allow the companies to raise money, the audit said.
"The borrowers and local governments should ensure they pay the loans on time, to prevent financial risks and debt risks," today's statement said.
County-level governments that want to invest to build public rental homes can use the provincial government to repay debts, and use a provincial level financing vehicle to raise funds, it said. Loans should not be longer than 15 years, and should be no lower than 0.9 times of the government benchmark lending rate, it said.

Workers in Kentucky have separated 42 sets of engine components from nerve-agent rockets left from the Cold War, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.
The development -- announced on Thursday by the operator of the Blue Grass Army Depot -- was part of an analysis to determine possible hazards such materials could pose as they are destroyed.
The findings may help the Army decide if it will carry out the elimination process inside the still-unfinished Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant. Depot personnel could alternately complete the procedure at another on-site location.
The separation process occurred "safely and without incident," the Blue Grass Chemical Activity said in released comments. The final M-55 rocket separation took place on Tuesday, the office noted in its statement.
Twenty-three of the separated engine parts are slated for delivery to New Jersey, where they would undergo assessment at the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center at Picatinny Arsenal. The Army depot in Kentucky is expected to retain the other 19 components for review at a later date.
The nerve-agent warheads were individually packaged and placed in housing designed to prevent any leaked contents from escaping into the environment.
The United States has already eliminated most of its chemical-weapons stockpile in compliance with provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention. It completed similar rocket-separation procedures as part of destruction operations at two other sites: the Umatilla Chemical Depot in Oregon and the Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas.
