Papa don't preach: Hardline Islam 'breeding a generation of Egyptian atheists'
"Son, it is time for Friday prayers, you will be late."
"I am not going."
"What? Why?"
"I am just…not going. I will pray here at home."
And a discussion began where my friend pushed to know why her 17-year-old refused to go to mosque. After much coaxing, the boy said: "Why should I go where the imam keeps making me feel like an atheist, where my political ideology is under question and evaluated from a religious perspective, with the conclusion that I am an atheist?"
My friend stopped there. She was cornered and her son doesn't go to the mosque anymore.
Another similar incident was with a mother of a 13-year-old, where her son refused to go pray at the mosque because the imam kept slandering unveiled women and the boy couldn't take any more insults to his mother.
Religious education of their kids can be the biggest challenge facing middle class Egyptian women, specifically their boys because they are weekly exposed to sheikhs in mosques.
Egyptian society is probably the only one where millions of boys and men flock to mosques for Friday noon prayers regardless of how religious they are, or whether they in fact perform the rest of the week's prayers. Egyptian men might be partying Thursday night, drinking and dancing, but they wake up on Friday to join the prayers.
More often than not, these boys and men eventually lean towards stopping whatever is deemed "sinful" as they grow older. This is why it is widely believed that Egyptians are religious "by nature".
Regardless of whether the family is conservative or not, religious or not, Friday prayers are above question for Egyptian boys; they must go. Call it tradition, hidden religiosity, or even hypocrisy if you like, but this is who we are.
We send our children to international schools which give the worst Arabic and religious education possible, so we get private tutors to teach them religion. Regardless of how irreligious we are, this is what we do. We want our children to know their religion and we want them to be as good as they should be when it comes to their relationship with God.
We are a people who believe in heaven and hell, reward and punishment, sin and good deeds. We live by the saying that "good deeds erase your sins", and we do both; we sin at night and wake up to Friday prayers, hoping for God's mercy!
A shocking moment for me was when my 12-year-old suddenly started disrespecting sheikhs. Although I am not exactly a model of religiosity myself, it pained me to see such disdain from my boy towards those who are supposed to be holy men. And the worst part was that I could not defend the sheikhs, given that I do not want him to listen to the monstrosities these men utter.
We are now all torn between the reality of our religion, and the message coming from the bearded bunch. What are we supposed to tell our kids? Listen to the sheikh, or don't listen? Go to the mosque, or don't go? Should we monitor every speech they hear, every imam of every mosque, and pick a suitable rhetoric? Or should we drop this religious education altogether?
Now mothers are wondering what happens when their sons stop going to mosque every week. What happens if the religious curriculum at schools is modified to fit the ultra right-wing, conservative and mostly distorted ideology of our rulers?
What happens when our children are pushed away from their religion?
Our rulers are letting those who defame and deform our religion speak in mosques and on television. They are leaving those who want to form morality police to do as they please on the streets. They turn a blind eye to those who are working to destroy the largest, most important Islamic institution in the world; Al-Azhar.
Left to themselves, our Islamist rulers will succeed in breeding an atheist generation. But will they be left to themselves? I think not, January 25 is impending.

I hope that Egyptians (and Muslims everywhere) have the courage to stand up and speak out against their divisive, conservative religious leaders when they no longer believe that the message of said leader is morally sound. Think about right and wrong for yourself and with your family/friends, but don't just blindly follow your politically motivated leaders. Atheists in the West and atheists in the Middle East will ultimately be the ones to mend the divide between our cultures. The type of world piece and love that we all crave so deeply will not come from the conservative Christians and Muslims, but from secular humanists.
Every religious believer is always convinced that the more extremist of their preachers is somehow warping their beliefs. Nothing could be further from the truth: when you base your life on a revealed religion that requires interpretation, you cannot pretend to be surprised when people take the most conservative interpretation in order to serve their own ends. This is ultimately the problem with religion. It is incompatible with modern ethics. Its why regardless of whether or not it's Islam, Christianity or the other countless failed attempts at explaining the Universe, the people who try to control you with revealed religions are nothing more than manipulative people who only want power in this life, despite pretending to care about your second life.
The incompatibility of religion with reality will continue to push people further away, until we emancipate ourselves from such profound ignorance.
In the age of the internet, religion(all religions)that use forceful tactics to keep and gain followers will disappear or change their ways. The world has become more civilized over time for a reason. If a religious institution wishes to overthrow a population that has already overcome religious oppression, they should be careful for what they wish for. Preach love or embrace failure.
Parents should be guided by the following: Look at your holy book (Quran, Bible, whatever), a supposedly perfect book. If there is ANYTHING in that book that you would not personally agree with, abandon the religion that is based on that book. Otherwise you are a fraud. If you feel that you MUST have a religion, create your own, based on what YOU feel is right.

Five district court judges in the 8th Judicial District are running for re-election, but only one — Judge Lonnie Carraway — is facing a challenge.
The 8th District covers Lenoir, Greene and Wayne counties. Incumbent judges David Brantley, Timothy Finan, Charles Gaylor III and Les Turner are unopposed in Tuesday's vote
Carraway, however, is being challenged by Ericka James, an assistant district attorney in the 8th District.
Both candidates spoke to The Free Press this week about their backgrounds, why they are running for the seat on the bench and what they would change about how district court operates.
Judicial races are nonpartisan, so neither candidate bears a party label. Even voters who choose a straight party ticket must cast individual votes for judges.
Ericka Y. James — challenger
James is a native of Petersburg, Va., who currently resides in Wayne County. She has been a prosecutor in the 8th District since 2010, and had previously spent about 2½ years prosecuting cases in the 1st Judicial District, headquartered in Elizabeth City.
James obtained her law degree from Regents University in Virginia Beach, Va., in 2002 and before becoming a prosecutor worked as a public defender in Norfolk, Va., and a private-practice attorney in Elizabeth City, focusing on real estate, family and criminal law before becoming a prosecutor. He worked for five years as a paralegal in the Virginia Attorney General's Office before attending law school.
She is also married with three children.
"I think it's time for a change," James said. "I'd like to see some new ideas brought to district court."
She noted District Court typically has a "docket that's running 400 cases per day," and suggested moving qualifying criminal cases from the courtroom docket to mediation.
Cases that could go to mediation include disputes between neighbors that currently involve criminal charges.
Cases can be referred for mediation by either a judge or prosecutor, or requested by the parties involved.
James said legislation has been passed in Raleigh requiring mediation in judicial districts where it is already available. It is currently being used in Wayne County and could be brought to Lenoir and Greene.
"If we can farm these cases out to mediation, that would free the prosecutors up to deal with some of the weightier cases that come through district court," she said.
James also recommended that judges should keep regular office hours — she said it would make it easier for prosecutors to get an order signed by a judge, for example.
"Having been a prosecutor and a defense attorney, that gives me a unique perspective to be able to see both sides of an issue," she said.
Lonnie Carraway — incumbent
Carraway has served on the District Court bench since 2000, when he was appointed by then-Gov. Jim Hunt. He is now seeking re-election to his fourth four-year term.
The Greene County native practiced law for 17 years in his home county before he was appointed as a judge. He obtained his law degree from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 1983.
"I see people come (to district court) that are in circumstances that I have been in, that are in a tough situation," he said. "I empathize with them, I try to treat then fairly and with respect so they don't feel like they're a piece of meat when they're taken out of the courtroom."
Carraway recalled growing up in a sharecropping family, working on a five-acre tobacco farm. He remembered once working for a fellow farmer in exchange for the use of that farmer's tractor — a trade initiated by his father.
"I don't want them to feel like I've just laid the hammer down, that I think I'm better than they are," he said of those who come to district court. "I've been poor and I have been treated differently and I know what the difference is."
Carraway noted district court is a "big-volume court," but said he would not change how the courtroom functions.
"I'm satisfied," he said. "I think we're doing a good job."
He said the courts have suffered in recent years due to cutbacks in state funds as a result of the poor economy.
"We're just kind of doubling up and pushing on as best we can until hopefully the economy turns around," Carraway said.
He thanked those who have supported him during the campaign, including some friends he has not seen for years.
"I appreciate their support and vote," he said. "I'd appreciate the opportunity to serve four more years."

Building on a long tradition of innovation, Lazer decided to combine all elements of a high performance helmet and push each feature as far as possible.
At 225 grams (CE certified Medium size) it is the lightest helmet Lazer ever made without sacrificing style, safety or comfort. Styling wise it has the looks of a contemporary high performance road helmet with an integrated wing on the top of the helmet.
To make the helmet comfortable we made an upgraded extra light version of our award winning Rollsys® system, called ARS or Advanced Rollsys System. This provides a snug, yet comfortable feel to last throughout the ride.
Ventilation wise the helmet is designed with optimal airflow in mind to provide sufficient cooling when the weather is hot. Deep channels and minimum contact in between head and helmet
If it's cold outside, or if you want additional aerodynamic performance the Z1 helmets allows for an Aeroshell to be installed. That way you can use the helmet the whole year round.
And to top it all off we have adapted the design of the helmet to provide additional coverage at the side of the head. We called it T-pro, or temple protection. The sides of your skull are weak points that are often vulnerable in case of a crash. But with the T-pro design the helmet is lower in that area to provide a better protection of the most crucial part of the head.
To top everything off, the Z1 was designed to work together with the Magneto eyewear. Each helmet is delivered with two specifically designed Magdocs so you can place your Magneto eyewear on your helmet when you don't need them.
The Z1 helmet is the complete package delivering high performance at a low weight.

The Executive MBA program is offered in a cohort format with a lockstep curriculum. The program spans two-and-a-half years, September-May the first two years and September-February the final half year, with summers off. Classes are held from 8 a.m. – 1:20 p.m., offered on Saturdays during the University term.
Through a multi-faceted learning approach that complements in-class lectures and case study discussion, our goal is to develop intellectually nimble managers focused on developing as effective strategic leaders within their organizations. The integrated, lock-step curriculum is sequential and includes core and advanced courses. And, in addition to high-profile guest speakers such as Harry Markopolos and corporate site visits such as The NY Stock Exchange, you'll also gain true global business experience as you and your classmates embark on a nine-day international field study to an emerging market in Asia, South America, or Europe.
Our unique, Jesuit values-centered approach to business guides all that we do by emphasizing reflection, discernment, and a commitment to ethics as key management tools and cultivating self-awareness as a key leadership competency. Our goal, first and foremost, is to inspire exemplary and adaptable leaders and to equip them with an ethical compass so that they are ready to respond to the challenges of an increasingly ambiguous and constantly changing business environment. Along the way, you will learn practical skills such as time management at an executive level or how to facilitate meetings or deliver polished presentations.
It is because of this dynamic combination—a rigorous, relevant curriculum, a highly engaged cohort learning environment of talented experienced professionals, and a proven, values-centered approach—that Sellinger grads find themselves so sought after. They are leaders who make a difference in the world because of the difference a Sellinger education continues to make in them.
An outline of the lockstep curriculum is below:
Information Sessions
Info Session and Class Test Drive — Columbia. Tues., June 2
Graduate Business Programs Info Session — Timonium. Sat., June 6
Master of Accounting Virtual Session — Online. Wed., June 10
Emerging Leaders MBA Virtual Session — Online. Thurs., June 11

Privatizing liquor hasn't brought price down
Genna Martin / The Herald
Employee Dakota Bond restocks shelves and prices items at Mountlake Terrace Liquor & Wine on Friday afternoon.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Tommy Sterns, a salesman at Mountlake Terrace Liquor & Wine, restocks shelves with Crown Royal on Friday afternoon.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Employee Dakota Bond restocks the shelves and prices items at Mountlake Terrace Liquor & Wine on Friday afternoon.
In fact, prices overall took a jump immediately after the changeover and have stayed near that level since.
The average price per liter of hard liquor after taxes statewide in October was $24.06, according to figures from the state Department of Revenue.
This is down slightly from the first month of privatization in June, but still more than 10 percent higher than the $21.59 at state liquor stores in October 2011.
"It's gone up quite a bit," said Trudy Brodie, of Edmonds, who manages the bar at the North City Eagles Club in Shoreline.
She was at Mountlake Terrace Liquor & Wine on Friday buying stock for the bar.
"We had to raise prices," she said.
Stores larger than 10,000 square feet, along with some locations previously occupied by state liquor stores, were allowed to sell hard liquor starting in June following the passage of I-1183 in November 2011.
The ballot measure was designed to keep state and local governments from losing money in the transition.
The state's previous spirits sales tax and liter taxes stayed in place. The state's 51.9 percent mark-up went away, but has been replaced by fees of 10 percent on distributors and 17 percent on retailers.
"The private sector is adding its own markup as well," said Brian Smith, a spokesman for the state Liquor Control Board.
Backers of I-1183, which passed with 59 percent of the vote, steered clear of claiming it would bring down prices, though it was mentioned as a possible by-product. Instead they touted other potential benefits.
"Yes on 1183 will create true competition in liquor and wine distribution and sales, strengthen liquor law enforcement, benefit Washington taxpayers and consumers and generate vitally needed new revenues for state and local services," according to the argument for the initiative in the 2011 voters' pamphlet.
The fee charged to distributors is scheduled to be cut in half in 2014, to 5 percent, which could help bring prices down, Smith said.
In June, the average liter price was $25.35, more than a dollar higher than October, according to state figures.
Some prices have gone up since then, some have dropped.
Some of the prices at smaller stores are higher than at large chain stores because the small retailers can't get bulk discounts from distributors, said Leonard Daniel, who owns and operates Mountlake Terrace Liquor & Wine with his wife, Lori.
Also, each brand is often available from only one distributor, Leonard Daniel said. The right to distribute a brand is bought by the highest bidder.
"There's no competition until you get down to this level and we're just fighting for the crumbs," he said.
The Daniels say they make up for their disadvantages with customer service and product knowledge, and by carrying a wider variety of brands and sizes than many of the bigger stores.
Lori Daniel managed the store on 44th Avenue W. when it was part of the state's system. Sales have slowed since the changeover, she said.
"We're very fortunate to be in the community we are," she said. "They've really supported us."
Brodie of the Eagles Club said she buys directly from distributors as well but goes to the Mountlake Terrace store to get items that aren't available from distributors.
"They're pretty good to me and they're local," she said of the Daniels.

BROAD CREEK — Croatan was a split second too late from keeping its undefeated record intact.
The Cougars' Austin Saunders had a putback as time expired waved off by the officials, and Croatan fell to Clinton 55-54 on Wednesday night in an East Central 2-A Conference boys' basketball game.
Earlier, Clinton defeated Croatan 59-41 in the girls' game.
The Croatan boys' (10-1, 1-1
Jacques Chambers then got the ball in front of his team's bench and missed a desperation shot, only to have Saunders tip the ball into basket as time expired, setting off a wild celebration by the Cougars and their faithful.
However, the officials quickly waved off the shot, which resulted in a victory for the Dark Horses (8-2, 2-0).
"I was hoping with it being home court, I thought he (the official) would give us the call, but…," Croatan first-year coach Kirk McDougle said.
Clinton first-year coach Randy Jordan said he knew right away that Saunders' putback was too late.
"I knew it was no good," he said. "You could see that the light had already gone off when it was still in his hands. I saw the official in the corner then wave it off."
The almost game-winner was certainly the play both teams will remember from this game involving two of the teams who figure to be in the running for the
Dementio Bryant made two free throws with 20 seconds left that gave Clinton a 55-54 lead and polished off a 7-0 run to end the game.
"Bryant at the foul line, that's being a senior leader," Jordan said.
Croatan appeared en route to remaining undefeated as the Cougars took a 54-48 lead with 1:40 left on a layup from Mitchell Smith to cap a 10-4 run.
But 34 seconds later, Clinton's Will Pearson made a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 54-51. Clinton then forced a turnover and Greg Smith followed with a layup with 46 seconds left to make it a 1-point game.
The Cougars turned the ball over again with 36 seconds remaining, setting up Bryant's go-ahead free throws. Croatan again turned the ball over with 4.6 seconds left. After a couple of fouls, Clinton was called for an offensive foul, setting up the controversial finish.
"We were frustrated and there was a lot of finger-pointing (after the game). I told the guys, 'If you learn anything, you can't live your life like that,'" McDougle said. "We can't complain about the refs because if we would have taken care of our jobs and done what we were supposed to, the refs would not have been a factor.
"I told the guys that we had sloppy turnovers, missed shots and missed execution and that all it would have taken was just one play (to have won the game)."
Croatan, the defending ECC champ, hopes to bounce back Friday when it travels to Northside (10-0, 2-0).
"Here lately we have gotten away with sloppy plays, but hopefully this loss will be a blessing in disguise and a wake-up call," McDougle said. "We got Northside waiting for us. So it doesn't get any easier."
Smith ended with 16 points while Chambers added 15 for the Cougars.
Clinton 59, Croatan 41: Clinton scored the first six points and never looked back en route to an ECC win at Croatan.
The Dark Horses (9-3, 2-0) led 33-13 at halftime, but the Cougars (3-6, 1-1) got to within 40-29 in the third quarter before Clinton pulled away by scoring the first six points of the fourth quarter.
"You take away the first quarter and I think they just beat us by three," Croatan coach Andrew Gurley said. "That first quarter hurt us. In the locker room at halftime I told them to keep their composure and that we had to keep playing hard and play our game."
Sammy Jo Layko scored 15 points for the Cougars.
Clinton was led by Kristen Glapser's 24 points.

Comments about Yakima Doubledown Rack:
works great with thin framed 26" mountain bikes, but the 29ers wide frame makes it hard to fit the angle of the bracket under the frame to wrap a strap around, unless yakima has longer straps to accomidate these new, highly recomended, mountain bikes!

Lezyne LED Lights are Engineered Design. Lezyne spent two years researching and developing their high performance lighting systems. They strived to create super efficient, bright, and long lasting lighting systems. All of Lezyne's high performance lighting systems utilize a mirror- finish reflector dish to project brighter light in the center of the beam. The focused central beam illuminates father objects while the wider more diffused light illuminates objects up close.
The Mini Drive is a compact 150 lumen light, built for night riding. Lezyne builds products that hold up to the rigors of cycling. Therefore, the Mini Drive's housing is 100% CNC machined aluminum. To keep you riding longer, the Mini Drive has a high capacity Li-ion battery. The battery will last 1.5 hours when on the medium power setting. Furthermore, the battery is rechargeable and replaceable. Choose between three steady modes and two high visibility blinking modes.

Comments about Lezyne Led Mini Drive Front:
It is predictably small and light. Not quite as finsished as other lezyne products. It works rather fine, is small and light. It also has a replacable rechargable battery.

Opening night of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Summer 2010 tour! The band certainly did not disappoint the sold-out crowd at the majestic Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside of Denver, CO.
Joe Cocker began the festivities with a breezy and inspired set of hits including "Unchain My Heart," "With a Little Help from My Friends," "Feelin' Alright" and a cover of The Beatles' "Come Together," which he recorded for 2007's Hymn for My Soul.
The excitement and anticipation at Red Rocks was undeniable as the Heartbreakers struck the first notes of tonight's opener, "Kings Highway," off Into The Great Wide Open. The guys tore through classics "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and "Breakdown" before surprising fans with a blazing version of the rare "Driving Down to Georgia" off the recently released The Live Anthology. Scott's wicked harmonica riff helped kick start "Jefferson Jericho Blues," which began a string of songs from Mojo, due out June 15. The capacity crowd was treated to live debuts of "First Flash of Freedom," "Running Man's Bible," "I Should Have Known It," and "Good Enough," all of which promise to be strong staples on this summer's tour. Wrapping up the set with "Refugee," Tom and the Heartbreakers returned to the stage and treated the audience to an intense triple-encore of "You Wreck Me," "Mystic Eyes," and the finale "Runnin' Down a Dream."
Check out the photos from last night and stay tuned for updates, photos, and more from every night of the tour. It's going to be a fun summer!

WERE is an AM radio station licensed to Cleveland Heights, Ohio and operating on 1490 kHz. The station's studios are in downtown Cleveland, while the transmitter is along Euclid Avenue near East 118th Street, adjacent to the Case Western Reserve University campus. It uses the on-air slogan "The People's Station," and features a news/talk format. The majority of WERE's shows are syndicated by station owner Radio One and USA Radio Network.
Prior to June 4, 2007, the station had operated at 1300 kHz frequency, where it had been at since 1949. That frequency is now home to sister station WJMO.
During the 1950s, WERE was the first popular Top 40 station in the market, spearheaded by now-legendary personalities like Bill Randle, "Captain" Carl Reese, Phil McClain, Ronnie Barrett, Howie Lund and Bob Forster. Randle was the most influental of the group, as he was the first major-market disk jockey in the Northeast United States to play Elvis Presley, and bolstered the careers of a number of young musicians, including The Four Lads, Bobby Darin, and Fats Domino.
WERE had obtained a construction permit in the mid-1950s for WERE-TV on channel 65. However, due to the vageriancies of the UHF dial at the time, the television station never made it on the air.
In the 1960s, the station was a middle-of-the-road radio station with personalities that included sportcaster Bob Neal in morning drive, the team of Jeff Baxter and Jack Riley in afternoon drive, and Bill Gordon with a nightly talk show from his apartment on East 30th Street. From 1951 until 1972, WERE was the flagship station for Cleveland Indians radio broadcasts.
Around spring 1975, the station's finances got rocky as it was bought out by city-council president George Forbes and other unspecified investors. They turned it into an all-news station that completely lacked the drawing power its immensely-popular talk shows had brought it. Eventually, WERE moved back into an all-talk format, which it more or less maintained for the rest of the century.
During the 1980s, the station underwent a number of changes in ownership, to Metropolis Broadcasting on August 25, 1986. Bob Fuller was the morning drive host, followed by syndicated talk show host Michael Jackson. Longtime Cleveland broadcaster Merle Pollis followed in the Noon - 2pm time slot. Another longtime Cleveland broadcaster, Joel Rose, was Pollis's foil in the 2 pm - 4pm time slot. Local news took over during drive time, with CBS Radio at the top of the hour and Mutual Radio at the bottom of the hour. Jim McIntyre hosted. At 7 pm Greg Brinda (now with WKNR AM 850) hosted his local call-in sports talk show. The station changed hands again on September 22, 1988 to Metroplex Communcations, headed by veteran local broadcasters Norman Wain and Bob Weiss. WERE was a charter affiliate for Rush Limbaugh's national talk show in 1989 (WWWE AM 1100, now WTAM, picked up the program in June 1990), and still had a variety of local hosts throughout the balance of the day. While easily accessible in downtown Cleveland and in the eastern suburbs, WERE's position in the Cleveland market has been hampered by a directional broadcast signal that misses the fast-growing suburbs just to the west of Cuyahoga County.
In 1992, locally-originated talk on WERE was replaced by an audio simulcast of CNN Headline News, with local news at :15 and :45. Hosts employed by WERE such as Merle Pollis, Joel Rose, and Les Levine were let go, with the only local talk shows left on the station being brokered programs, in which a host/producer buys the time from the station.
The local news product was eliminated in August 1993, as news staffers Jim McIntyre, Bob Fuller, Tom Moore and Cindy Lin were let go. An article in The Plain Dealer on August 13, 1993, referred to this as a "shifting of the station's emphasis from local news to cheaper syndicated and community programming."
Select programs on WERE during this period ranged from "America's Workforce" (labor issues in the Cleveland area), to "The Gay 90's" (homosexual and diversity issues) to "Talking Books" (interviews with literary figures), to "Those Antique Guys" (appraisials and commentary on antiques).
One of the most popular shows on WERE during this period was the 'Your Music' Show, a daily weekday block of a variety music from the 1940s through the 1970s programmed by Jim Davis, who also served as an on-air host from 1-3pm (after illness took Carl Reese off the air), followed by Ted Hallaman from 3-5pm after WRMR 1420-AM signed off permanently in July 2004. The 'Your Music' Show was sponsored by the Original Mattress Factory and aired from August 2004 through January 2006 when the WERE daytime format was changed.
Today, WERE is programmed by Kim Hill (who is also part of the new morning show), and carries a news/talk format with a locally based morning show offering news, traffic, sports and weather hosted by Hill and local community activist Basheer Jones (6 a.m. - 9 a.m. and a half hour "best of" show at 5:30 p.m.)
WERE's full lineup is as follows:
5-6am--Daybreak USA (USA Radio)
6-9am--Basheer Jones & Company (local)
9-10am--Paid Programing
10am-1pm--Warren Ballentine Show (Radio One)
1pm-1:30pm--Paid Programming
1:30-3pm--Jim Sumpter Show (USA Radio)
3-5pm--Point of View with Kerby Anderson (USA Radio)
5-5:30pm--Paid Programming
5:30-6pm--Best of Basheer Jones & Co.
6-10pm--Various/Brokered/Paid Programming
10pm-1am--Laurie Roth Show (USA Radio)
1-2am--Golden Age of Radio (USA Radio)
2-3am--News Wrap USA (USA Radio)
3-5am--Point of View (USA Radio)
Long-running ethnic programs also continue throughout the day on Sunday.
There had been several reports that Radio One and WERE may air ESPN Radio programming in evening and overnight hours, to supplement Good Karma Broadcasting daytime outlet WWGK's sports/talk format as "ESPN Cleveland". The arrangement had been hinted on WWGK's website, though a companion logo was since removed. There has been no official word from WERE's station management that such an arrangement was even attempted, and WWGK's owners ended up purchasing WKNR in December 2006.

Integrated Health Studies - B.S.
|College of Education, Health and Human Services
|School of Health Sciences
100 Nixson Hall
Tel: 330-672-2197
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Web: www.ehhs.kent.edu/hs
|The Bachelor of Science in Integrated Health Studies is designed for students interested in pursuing studies related to the health professions. The primary mission of the Integrated Health Studies program is to educate individuals to serve present and future needs of an increasingly diverse society in the professional fields associated with health and/or medical services. Fundamental to its mission is the education of students to excel as practitioners and provide leadership to their respective disciplines.
All students complete the university's Kent Core (Kent Core). Integrated Health Studies (IHS) students also take a core of courses that relate to health studies. The core consists of coursework related to medical terminology, health care ethics, health care policy and delivery systems, research design and statistical analysis, quantitative statistics, a writing intensive class and a professional seminar class at the end of the program. The program culminates in a practicum experience consistent with the student's career goals. The knowledge and understanding gained from the core coursework then are applied within the context of a specific concentration selected by the student based upon the student's interests. Each of the three concentrations, health sciences, health services, health care administration and services, prepares the student for specific occupational opportunities and/or advanced study in the health and human services fields.
The health sciences concentration includes a strong basic science core (biology, chemistry, physics) as well as an applied science core (physiology of exercise, nutrition). Integrated Health Studies majors in the health sciences concentration will be prepared for science-based graduate programs, especially physical or occupational therapy, and other advanced study options (such as physicians assistant programs).
The health services concentration provides comprehensive study of health professions, human development, and human services. The students completing this program find careers in the service delivery sector of the health care industry such as non-profit and/or government agencies (e.g., health departments, national/state/local health organizations). This health services program is designed to offer more flexibility in coursework selection for minors/certificates (eg. health educator, non-profit management, psychology); pre-nursing coursework; and provide students in associate degree programs in the allied health areas, such as physical or occupational therapy assisting technology, with the opportunity to obtain a highly relevant bachelor's degree.
The health care administration and services concentration is designed to prepare students for administrative positions in the health care industry. This concentration includes a business minor and includes courses consisting of marketing, management, finance, economics, and computer applications, as well as specialized courses related to long term care administration and social welfare polity. The students completing this concentration assume positions in the business sector of a health related industry. Other students may wish to pursue graduate study in such fields as business administration, health administration, exercise/leisure/sports administration, and public health.
|According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in health and human services areas will grow faster than average through 2012. Students completing the IHS health services concentration are prepared to assume a role in the service delivery sector of the health care industry. Others may wish to pursue graduate study leading to advanced professional credentials. Students completing the IHS health care administration and systems concentration are prepared for careers in the business sector of the health care industry though others may wish to purse graduate study to obtain mid-management administrative credentials. Students completing the IHS health sciences concentration are prepared to purse graduate study in health-medical fields. Possible graduate programs may include: Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Athletic Training, Sports Medicine, Physician Assistant, Gerontology, Business Administration, Health Administration, Public Health, Health Education, Clinical Psychology, Nutrition, and Exercise/Leisure/Sport Administration.
(Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics)

Students who do not meet the GPA requirements of their intended major may enroll as pre-majors for selected programs or EHHS General until which time they have the required 2.75 GPA.
Students are admitted to health and human services programs and educational studies using the university admission criteria (see the Entering the University section of this Catalog), with the exception of the sport administration program, which requires a 2.75 high school GPA for entering freshmen and a 21 ACT or 980 SAT score. Selective admission criteria are used in some programs in the college. Students who do not meet the GPA requirements of their intended major may enroll as pre-majors for selected programs or EHHS General until which time they have the required GPA.

Club competitions
National team competitions
The Basketball Federation of Serbia & Montenegro (KSSCG) will soon be looking for a new president after current incumbent Miodrag Babic offered his resignation at a recent executive board meeting in Belgrade.
The offer is expected to be accepted by the KSSCG's General Assembly at a meeting later this month.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Marko Jaric is fed up with being raked over the coals for Serbia & Montenegro's EuroBasket failure and has blasted coach Zeljko Obradovic for not standing by the players.
A proud hoops nation, hosts for the glamorous event, was left stunned as the two-time defending world champions lost 74-71 in the elimination round and Obradovic revealed afterwards that Jaric's poor relationship with fellow playmaker Igor Rakocevic had been the biggest problem.
Yugoslavian great Zoran Savic has defended embattled coach Zeljko Obradovic in the wake of Serbia & Montenegro's failure at the EuroBasket.
The former power forward has also blamed the team's early exit from the competition on the country's reluctance to blood new players for the event.
Bozidar Maljkovic, one of the best club coaches ever to emerge from Serbia & Montenegro, has cited a lack of leadership as the decisive factor in his country's shock elimination from the EuroBasket.
France ended the dreams of hosts Serbia & Montenegro in the elimination round, winning 74-71 in Novi Sad on Tuesday.

|May 27, 2014 Diana California, United States
The views and the course in general.
We ordered lunch from the restaurant menu by telephoning from the #9 tee. Lunch was ready when we arrived at the club house however we sat on the outside deck and low and behold there was a bar food menu on the table. We would much rather have ordered from the bar menu because the choices were much more to our liking. Just saying!!!

The location.
The scenery and the weather were fantastic.

I hope this deal comes up again. I would buy this package in a heartbeat Loved the course!
|May 22, 2014 Manuel California, United States
It is a gorgeous area, course was beautiful and the snow covered mountain is visible from many holes. It is fairly difficult for "recreational" golfers but even so, we loved it!! We had beautiful weather along with it, even if a bit windy.
There is a nice restaurant that is open until 2 pm, but even as we finished later, the lounge is open all afternoon and the food is really great!!
