Police are trying to determine if a trio of robberies within hours and miles of each other in College Station are linked, and they have one suspect to go on.
College Station resident Vance Wade Pullen, 20, was arrested Monday and charged with robbery.
Police believe Pullen was one of three men who held up the Stop 'n Go Sunday just after 10 p.m.
Officers say the clerk was assaulted before the suspects fled the store with stolen items.
That convenience store is located at 1500 Holleman.
Then around 1:00 a.m. Monday, officers say two men broke into a home in the 1600 block of Brentwood.
The suspects held the resident at gunpoint and stole his wallet before fleeing.
Just four hours later at approximately 5:13 a.m., the Lexington Apartments on Holleman were hit.
Two men kicked in an apartment door, held that resident at gunpoint and stole cell phones and watches.
A third suspect stood as look-out outside.
College Station police are trying to determine if the three robberies are connected.
They say they're also looking at any links to the recent rash of hotel robberies.

I think Toni Morrison's writing style is highly unique. Her book, Beloved, takes place in the middle of the action and never stops running. The foundation of her story is clear, yet there are many undertones, relationships, and past events which constantly shape the story. Her style of writing truly struck me in chapter 6. The chapter begins when Beloved comes out of the water, seen by both Denver and Sethe. The conversation concerning Sethe's diamond earrings, though, was the conversation that stood out to me as striking.
Morrison managed to use the tangible object of mere diamond earrings to explain the relationship between Sethe and Beloved. More of Sethe's, and even Beloved's past, is revealed. Denver, too saw the distinct relationship between Sethe and her Beloved. Denver also sees more of Beloved and can come to grips with her past, and her "life" now.
Yes, from just one simple discussion about diamond earrings, a whole internal story unfolds. A story which shows the vivid personalities of the various characters in the novel, and one which quickly progresses the storyline of the novel. Morrison's writing is eloquent, yet concise. Descriptive and narrative, and overall wonderful. She makes the book interesting to read.

State should expand Medicaid
I must take exception to state Rep. Alan Clemmons one-sided Feb. 5 Medicaid expansion column. He basically concludes that South Carolina cannot afford the Affordable Health Care Act's Medicaid expansion because it will increase state costs over time.
His thinking is why the Republican Party is becoming increasingly irrelevant. I'm a Republican (maybe not for long) and I do not agree with him. Here are some points he conveniently ignores.
South Carolinians pay federal income taxes. We, the taxpayers of South Carolina, will be footing the bill for Medicaid expansion in 40 or more states without getting any benefit for South Carolina. I would like my taxes helping our state – not New York or California.
My health insurance premiums are very high, in part because the 500,000 low income South Carolinians who don't qualify for Medicaid are forced to use hospital emergency rooms when they need care. Expanding Medicaid will reduce hospital costs and thus reduce my private health insurance premiums.
I personally know several people who cannot afford health insurance, who work hard, and who do not qualify for either Medicaid or for the new health insurance subsidies.
Clemmons, and others, seem to imply that the 500,000 medically under-served South Carolinians are deadbeats or otherwise not worthy of the kind of medical care the rest of us receive. Simply not so.
Adequate medical care should be available to everyone. Clemmons' solution is "the haves should get it, the have-nots should tough it out." We're better people than that and the Republicans should be better people than that.
ObamaCare is not perfect and hopefully our legislators will get serious with controlling medical cost inflation.
In the meantime, we should take the 90 percent cost sharing Obama offers and help our people – not help the poor in other states.

HARP refi » Refinance while loan rates are rock bottom
Dear Dr. Don,Our lender offered refinancing at a lower payment or adding $50 more to the current payment and cutting the years I owe. I don't understand how this works. I have a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage that I have been paying on for five years at 6.75 percent interest. They also want to charge me to continue the process. Is this normal?
Any advice would be helpful.
-- Dylan Dilemma
Dear Dylan,
You can use Bankrate's mortgage calculator and amortization table to see how making an extra payment every month shortens your mortgage loan term and reduces your total interest expense. There shouldn't be any fees or expenses in pursuing this strategy.
Given today's market rates, and the fact that you're only five years into a 30-year mortgage, refinancing a 6.75 percent loan makes perfect sense. At this writing, Bankrate's national average for a 30-year loan is 4.95 percent. If your credit is good and you have enough equity in the home to make this work, refinancing can work for you, assuming you plan to be in the house long enough to recoup the costs of refinancing.
That's no doubt what the bank people were talking about when they talked about charging you to continue the process. Bankrate's 2010 Closing Cost Survey pegged the national average for closing costs on a $200,000 new-purchase mortgage at $3,741. A refinancing should be a little less, but it won't be free. You can use Bankrate's refinance mortgage calculators to figure out how long it takes to recoup your financing costs and the expected interest savings.

Every now and then, a video comes along that changes the face of the internet as we know it. Everything you thought you knew about online culture has been blown to pieces, thanks to a new video that follows in the steps of iconic feline Keyboard Cat.
Today, we celebrate Piano Pug, a doe-eyed black canine whose undeniable ability to bang out a tune on a kiddie piano (all while wearing a bow tie and looking particularly defeated). For today is a day like no other, a wrinkle in time that will forever be remembered in its dutiful role as That Time We All Watched Piano Pug.

Gaining exposure and recognition for one's work starts with putting
finished pieces in the public and critical eye. This can mean
participating in local community shows or full-fledged exhibitions,
entering competitions, and hanging pieces in galleries. It is an
exciting prospect, but it can also be stressful to prepare works for
shipment and display.
The RayMar Art annual fine art competition is in its fifth year and has
become a premier juried exhibition and contest in the art community. It
is RayMar Art's way of simultaneously recognizing exceptional artwork
and supporting working artists with substantial cash prizes.

Your mother is more likely to have a good sit down chat with you about money, but it's dad who can be more likely to dole out the cash – for certain things. So says a recent study, Money Across Generations II , released by Ameriprise Financial.
There are significant differences in how American men and women approach money matters, especially when it comes to their grown kids.
A vast majority, 93%, of baby boomers say they've provided financial support to their adult children, but fathers are significantly more likely than mothers to have helped by putting up cash for a car (58% versus to 48%), or co-signed a loan or lease agreement (42% vs 32%). Similarly, the survey showed that men are more likely than women to have paid for their grown kid's car insurance (51 percent versus 43 percent), or helped with car payments (37 percent versus 29 percent). More boomer fathers than mothers say they would help their child buy a car or pay off credit card debt than say they'd continue contributing to their own retirement savings.
However, when it comes time to talk, it's all about mom. Boomer women are significantly more likely than men to report having regular conversations with their relatives about finances (54 percent versus 46 percent), healthcare costs (45 percent versus 34 percent), and family issues (59 percent versus 46 percent). Boomer women seem to be breaking tradition – two-thirds of their daughters say they regularly discuss money with their families, compared to 59 percent of their sons.
"Women really do tend to do more of the talking about money matters – with both their parents and their children – while men are more likely than women to hand over the cash to help family members, says Suzanna de Baca, vice president of wealth strategies at Ameriprise Financial.
"Whether or not female or male family members from every family fit into these roles – the talkers or the helpers, the truth is, that the financial role that a family member plays can affect the way he or she communicates," says de Baca.
What was shocking, she adds, was how strongly Boomers' support for family members follows stereotypical gender roles. "For instance, the numbers show that fathers are more likely to have helped their children buy a car and pay for car insurance. It seemed as though these men learned from their 'silent generation' fathers, who were also more likely to help their children purchase the same kinds of things."
What's the bottom line? "Couples and entire families should absolutely be talking about finances with each other, especially if money is exchanging hands. People of different genders and ages think about things differently, and multi-generational families can be very diverse. Having regular, open conversations with your spouse or partner, as well as your extended family, can help ensure the decisions you're making are the right ones – for everyone involved," says de Baca.
She offers the following advice.
Don't be afraid of the tough stuff. "It's absolutely fair for a baby boomer parent to ask their college-aged child what his or her plan is to pay back their student loans, or to ask their aging parents how they plan to pay for healthcare and if they anticipate needing help."
Create a written financial plan. That plan should integrate the support the couple is providing, or would like to provide to family members. Documenting financial arrangements can help clarify the type, and level of support they're giving to family, and will provide a written record to go back to in future conversations.
Get help if needed. For sure it can get emotional when families talk money. If your crew is prone to drama, consider getting a third party, like a financial professional to help sort out your game plan in an objective, unemotional way.

LUZERNE COUNTY– It was a bit of a soggy start for the holiday weekend at Frances Slocum State Park in Luzerne County, but the forecast for the weekend is looking good.
Folks have packed campgrounds like Frances Slocum State Park.
"Looking forward to it, we're hoping the pool is going to be open. We brought our swimsuits and everything so should be a good family weekend," said John Stephenson of Wilkes-Barre.
For many, camping on Memorial Day weekend is a tradition.
"We started two years ago today with the first one, my daughter Elizabeth and the dog and my husband and we got hooked and we've been doing it ever since," said Jill Brooks of Bucks County who is camping in tents along with her husband and now three children.
It was a long and cold winter and the warmer weather in the future has many happy to get back outdoors and enjoy camping and cooking out.
"It's nice to be camping when we don't have to use the zero degree bags, yeah," laughed Kevin Brooks of Bucks County.
" Now if the summer would be as long as the winter, that would be good," laughed Barry Shaver of Noxen who was camping with his wife and grandchildren.
"We love it. We absolutely love it," added Jill Brooks.

Mercy Established
from Chris Donato Jan 30, 2009 Category: ArticlesFor it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever. Keep Reading
Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 29, 2009 Category: ArticlesSuch a standpoint cannot be found in the New Testament. The Christ of Scripture was profoundly concerned with this world. This world was the site and purpose of the Incarnation. The God of heaven so loved this world that He sent His Son to redeem it. This is the world God created. This is the world God is redeeming. There is no other theater of God's redemptive action than this world. There is a profound sense in which we are called to be secular people. Keep Reading
Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 3)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 28, 2009 Category: ArticlesFor secularism, all life, every human value, every human activity must be understood in light of this present time. The secularist either flatly denies or remains utterly skeptical about the eternal. He either says there is no eternal or if there is we can know nothing about it. What matters is now and only now. All access to the above and the beyond is blocked. There is no exit from the confines of this present world. The secular is all that we have. We must make our decisions, live our lives, make our plans, all within the closed arena of this time--the here and now. Keep Reading
Secularism: Ignoring the Eternal (pt. 2)
from R.C. Sproul Jan 27, 2009 Category: ArticlesHistorically, the word secular is a positive word in the Christian's vocabulary. The church has always had a good view of that which was regarded as secular. In the Middle Ages, for example, men were ordained to a specific role in the priesthood that was called the "secular priesthood." These were men who had responsibilities which took them out of the institution of the church to minister in the world where there were specific needs requiring the healing touch or the priestly mission of the church.

Moses was a man of stuttering speech and a quick temper, yet he was the one chosen to lead a nation, to represent them before God, and to receive His law and deliver it to them.

Registration has begun for Vance County cleanup
Henderson area residents should start organizing now for the fifth annual Henderson-Vance Spring Litter Sweep week that starts April 15, said event organizer Terri Hedrick.
Hedrick said signing up groups from schools, churches and from programs like Adopt-A-Highway, Neighborhood Watch, volunteer fire departments and other civic organizations should start now so more people can plan on overwhelming last year's numbers of about 300 organized participants.
"This is our fifth year we're doing this," Hedrick said. "We have typically had several hundred come to us, wanting to help."
Having more volunteers out would help with an added mission that is new this year: recycling. Hedrick said groups and individuals getting trash bags this year will notice some are labeled for recycling, and instructions will be available for bagging separately recyclable materials.
"This is the first year we have attempted to use separately labeled bags for recycling," Hedrick said.
Hedrick hopes areas where people live will be done in advance of the major push April 15-20, allowing more areas to be cleaned.
Hedrick said that city and county gear includes gloves and large orange trash bags, plus bright-colored vests that should be used by several in a typical group if they're working along roadways or other traffic areas.
The Vance County Appearance Commission and the Henderson Community Appearance Commission are co-sponsors of the spring litter sweep week, which is part of the N.C. Spring Litter Sweep that runs April 13-27.
"We need everyone in the community to pitch in in some way," Hedrick said. "We have a list of roadside areas where the need is greatest."
Hedrick added the focus of the week is to get as much community participation as possible to clean up blighted areas in the city and county.
Materials will be on hand starting April 10 at the Vance County Schools' Administrative Services Center on Graham Avenue, the City Operations Center on Beckford Drive and at Perry Memorial Library on Breckenridge Street, all in Henderson.
At 8 a.m., April 20, a Saturday wrap-up is planned. Volunteers can pick up supplies outdoors in the parking lot of the City Operations Center.
Also, old electronics items will be collected there for recycling.
Spring Litter Sweep Week volunteers will receive tickets for a hot dog lunch that starts at 11 a.m., April 20, again at the City Operations Center.
The Wisdom for Life Ministry of Jason Brown, a former NFL football player who grew up in Vance County, is sponsoring lunch.
The roadside trash bags will be gathered by city workers in Henderson and DOT crews working on the following Monday.
Hedrick said anyone interested in volunteering can contact her at (252) 492-2127, extension 2100, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Baryon number and electric charge fluctuations in Pb+Pb collisions at SPS energies (2006)
- Event-by-event fluctuations of the net baryon number and electric charge in nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied in Pb+Pb at SPS energies within the HSD transport model. We reveal an important role of the fluctuations in the number of target nucleon participants. They strongly influence all measured fluctuations even in the samples of events with rather rigid centrality trigger. This fact can be used to check different scenarios of nucleus-nucleus collisions by measuring the multiplicity fluctuations as a function of collision centrality in fixed kinematical regions of the projectile and target hemispheres. The HSD results for the event-by-event fluctuations of electric charge in central Pb+Pb collisions at 20, 30, 40, 80 and 158 A GeV are in a good agreement with the NA49 experimental data and considerably larger than expected in a quark-gluon plasma. This demonstrate that the distortions of the initial fluctuations by the hadronization phase and, in particular, by the final resonance decays dominate the observable fluctuations.
- Particle number fluctuations in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions from microscopic transport approaches (2005)
- Event-by-event multiplicity fluctuations in nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied within the HSD and UrQMD transport models. The scaled variances of negative, positive, and all charged hadrons in Pb+Pb at 158 AGeV are analyzed in comparison to the data from the NA49 Collaboration. We find a dominant role of the fluctuations in the nucleon participant number for the final hadron multiplicity fluctuations. This fact can be used to check di erent scenarios of nucleus-nucleus collisions by measuring the final multiplicity fluctuations as a function of collision centrality. The analysis reveals surprising e ects in the recent NA49 data which indicate a rather strong mixing of the projectile and target hadron production sources even in peripheral collisions. PACS numbers: 25.75.-q,25.75.Gz,24.60.-k
- Charmonium chemistry in A+A collisions at relativistic energies (2005)
- Charmonium production and suppression in heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies is investigated within di erent models, i.e. the comover absorption model, the threshold suppression model, the statistical coalescence model and the HSD transport approach. In HSD the charmonium dissociation cross sections with mesons are described by a simple phase-space parametrization including an e ective coupling strength |Mi|2 for the charmonium states i =Xc,J/psi, psi'. This allows to include the backward channels for charmonium reproduction by DD channels which are missed in the comover absorption and threshold suppression model employing detailed balance without introducing any new parameters. It is found that all approaches yield a reasonable description of J/psi suppression in S+U and Pb+Pb collisions at SPS energies. However, they di er significantly in the psi'/J/psi ratio versus centrality at SPS and especially at RHIC energies. These pronounced differences can be exploited in future measurements at RHIC to distinguish the hadronic rescattering scenarios from quark coalescence close to the QGP phase boundary.
- Transverse pressure and strangeness dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion reactions (2005)
- Transverse hadron spectra from proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 AGeV to 21.3 ATeV are investigated within two independent transport approaches (HSD and UrQMD). For central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions at energies above E lab ~ 5 AGeV, the measured K +- transverse mass spectra have a larger inverse slope parameter than expected from the default calculations. The additional pressure - as suggested by lattice QCD calculations at finite quark chemical potential mu q and temperature T - might be generated by strong interactions in the early pre-hadronic/partonic phase of central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions. This is supported by a non-monotonic energy dependence of v2/pT in the present transport model.
- Kaons and antikaons in hot and dense hadronic matter (2004)
- Abstract: The medium modification of kaon and antikaon masses, compatible with low energy KN scattering data, are studied in a chiral SU(3) model. The mutual interactions with baryons in hot hadronic matter and the e ects from the baryonic Dirac sea on the K( ¯K ) masses are examined. The in-medium masses from the chiral SU(3) e ective model are compared to those from chiral perturbation theory. Furthermore, the influence of these in-medium e ects on kaon rapidity distributions and transverse energy spectra as well as the K, ¯K flow pattern in heavy-ion collision experiments at 1.5 to 2 A·GeV are investigated within the HSD transport approach. Detailed predictions on the transverse momentum and rapidity dependence of directed flow v1 and the elliptic flow v2 are provided for Ni+Ni at 1.93 A·GeV within the various models, that can be used to determine the in-medium K± properties from the experimental side in the near future.
- Transport theories for heavy ion collisions in the 1 AGeV regime (2004)
- We compare multiplicities as well as rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of protons, pions and kaons calculated within presently available transport approaches for heavy ion collisions around 1 AGeV. For this purpose, three reactions have been selected: Au+Au at 1 and 1.48 AGeV and Ni+Ni at 1.93 AGeV.
- Nonequilibrium models of relativistic heavy-ion collisions (2004)
- To be published in J. Phys. G - Proceedings of SQM 2004 : We review the results from the various hydrodynamical and transport models on the collective flow observables from AGS to RHIC energies. A critical discussion of the present status of the CERN experiments on hadron collective flow is given. We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function from 1 to 50 A.GeV: here the hydrodynamic model has predicted the collapse of the v2-flow ~ 10 A.GeV; at 40 A.GeV it has been recently observed by the NA49 collaboration. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed at this energy we interpret this observation as evidence for a first order phase transition at high baryon density r b. Moreover, the connection of the elliptic flow v2 to jet suppression is examined. It is proven experimentally that the collective flow is not faked by minijet fragmentation. Additionally, detailed transport studies show that the away-side jet suppression can only partially (< 50%) be due to hadronic rescattering. Furthermore, the change in sign of v1, v2 closer to beam rapidity is related to the occurence of a high density first order phase transition in the RHIC data at 62.5, 130 and 200 A.GeV.
- Strangeness dynamics and transverse pressure in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions (2004)
- We investigate hadron production as well as transverse hadron spectra from proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 A·GeV to 21.3 A·TeV within two independent transport approaches (HSD and UrQMD) that are based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom. The comparison to experimental data on transverse mass spectra from pp, pA and C+C (or Si+Si) reactions shows the reliability of the transport models for light systems. For central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions at bombarding energies above ~5 A·GeV, furthermore, the measured K± transverse mass spectra have a larger inverse slope parameter than expected from the default calculations. We investigate various scenarios to explore their potential effects on the K± spectra. In particular the initial state Cronin effect is found to play a substantial role at top SPS and RHIC energies. However, the maximum in the K+/..+ ratio at 20 to 30 A·GeV is missed by 40% and the approximately constant slope of the K± spectra at SPS energies is not reproduced either. Our systematic analysis suggests that the additional pressure - as expected from lattice QCD calculations at finite quark chemical potential µq and temperature T- should be generated by strong interactions in the early pre-hadronic/partonic phase of central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions.
- Review of QGP signatures - ideas versus observables (2004)
- We investigate hadron production and transverse hadron spectra in nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 A·GeV to 21.3 A·TeV within two independent transport approaches (UrQMD and HSD) based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom. The enhancement of pion production in central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions relative to scaled pp collisions (the 'kink') is described well by both approaches without involving a phase transition. However, the maximum in the K+ p+ ratio at 20 to 30 A·GeV (the 'horn') is missed by ~ 40%. Also, at energies above ~5 A·GeV, the measured K± mT-spectra have a larger inverse slope than expected from the models. Thus the pressure generated by hadronic interactions in the transport models at high energies is too low. This finding suggests that the additional pressure - as expected from lattice QCD at finite quark chemical potential and temperature - might be generated by strong interactions in the early pre-hadronic/partonic phase of central heavy-ion collisions. Finally, we discuss the emergence of density perturbations in a first-order phase transition and why they might affect relative hadron multiplicities, collective flow, and hadron mean-free paths at decoupling. A minimum in the collective flow v2 excitation function was discovered experimentally at 40 A·GeV - such a behavior has been predicted long ago as signature for a first order phase transition.
- Dynamics of strange, charm and high momentum hadrons in relativistic nucleus nucleus collisions (2003)
- We investigate hadron production and attenuation of hadrons with strange and charm quarks (or antiquarks) as well as high transverse momentum hadrons in relativistic nucleus-nucleus col- lisions from 2 A·GeV to 21.3 A·TeV within two independent transport approaches (UrQMD and HSD). Both transport models are based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom, but do not include any explicit phase transition to a quark-gluon plasma. From our dynamical calculations we find that both models do not describe the maximum in the K+/ + ratio at 20 - 30 A·GeV in central Au+Au collisions found experimentally, though the excitation functions of strange mesons are reproduced well in HSD and UrQMD. Furthermore, the transport calculations show that the charmonium recreation by D + J/ + meson reactions is comparable to the dissociation by comoving mesons at RHIC energies contrary to SPS energies. This leads to the final result that the total J/ suppression as a function of centrality at RHIC should be less than the suppression seen at SPS energies where the comover dissociation is substantial and the backward channels play no role. Furthermore, our transport calculations in comparison to exper- imental data on transverse momentum spectra from pp, d+Au and Au+Au reactions show that pre-hadronic e ects are responsible for both the hardening of the hadron spectra for low transverse momenta (Cronin e ect) as well as the suppression of high pT hadrons. The mutual interactions of formed hadrons are found to be negligible in central Au+Au collisions at s = 200 GeV for pT e 6 GeV/c and the sizeable suppression seen experimentally is attributed to a large extent to the interactions of leading pre-hadrons with the dense environment.

Epochal changes in society can, and often do, inspire new vogue vocabularies and expressive styles. The social turbulence that the sudden increase in the pump price of petrol stirred in Nigeria activated many hitherto passive vocabularies and brought to the surface many distinctive usage patterns in Nigerian English. I chronicle a few of them below.
1. "Subsidy." Perhaps the biggest linguistic gain of the petrol price hike embroilment of the last few weeks is the promotion of the term "subsidy" to the front burner of the linguistic consciousness of Nigerians of all social classes. Before now "subsidy" was a passive terminology that was used only by the highly educated stratum of the Nigerian society. Now almost every Nigerian knows what it means.
A clear marker of the integration of this otherwise "big," formal word into the everyday speech of Nigerians is its continuously creative vernacularization and humorous contortions. For example, a protester in Kano inscribed the following words on the back of his T-shirt: "Subsidy is my soul." This simple yet pithy catchphrase captures the depth of the helplessness and angst of the Nigerian masses in the face of government's overt economic hostilities against them. Similarly, because the angry protests that accompanied government's action led to many deaths in such cities as Ilorin, Lagos, and Kano, Nigerians coined the term "subsidie" to capture the slaughterous character of the moment.
Interestingly, when the word "subsidy" first entered the vocabulary of the English language from about 1100 to 1450 by way of Norman French ( i.e., the language of the French men who conquered England in 1066 in the Battle of Hastings and colonized it for over 300 years), it was spelled as "subsidie," according to the Oxford Dictionary of English. The word is derived from the Latin "subsidium," which literally means "assistance."
Music of lamentation and anger over the misery that the petrol price increase has visited on ordinary Nigerians is now called "subsidy blues." YouTube is suffused with scores of "subsidy blues" from upstart Lagos musicians.
"Subsidy" has even made inroads into the lexis and style of Nigeria's native languages. There was, for instance, a popular social media joke during the protests that said a Yoruba couple had a son during the petrol price hike crisis and decided to name him "Subsideen" to mark the circumstances of his birth. This is obviously a play on such names as Muyideen, Sharafadeen, Shamsudeen, Tajudeen, etc., which Yoruba Muslims have a particular fondness for. The female version of Subsideen is "Subsidat," also a play on such popular female Muslim names as Rashidat, Muyibat, Habibat, etc.
There is another joke about an Igbo man whose wife gave birth to a son during the "subsidy crisis" and who chose to name the son "Chibusubsidim," which stands for "God is my subsidy." Other Engligbo ( i.e., English with Igbo inflections) "subsidized names" (as one Nigerian blogger creatively called it) are Chukwubusubsidim (a male name, which also means "God is my subsidy"); Nkechisubsidilanyi ( a female name that translates as "one that God has subsidized for us"); Chinwesubsidi (a female name that translates as "God owns all subsidies"); Subsidibuifeoma (a female name that translates as "subsidy is good"); Chukwuemekasubsidi ( a male name that translates as "Thank you Lord for the subsidy"); Chinasubsidisikasi ( a unisex name that stands for "God is the ultimate subsidizer"); Chukwukasubsidi ( a unisex name that means "God is mightier than subsidy"); Nkesubsidinye (Engligbo for "born as a result of subsidy"); and Ikesubsidi (a male name that means "the power of subsidy").
All these names are creatively humorous lexical and semantic contortions of such popular Igbo names as Chibuzo, Chukwuemeka, Ifeoma, Nkechi, Chinwezu, etc.
The Ibibio version of the "subsidy" jokes said a child born in Akwa Ibom State during the petrol subsidy removal crisis was named "Subsi-obong." Another was named Subsi-abasi. Obong means chief or king in Ibibio. Abassi means God.
It was also said that during the mass protests the commonest form of greeting in the Yoruba states of Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, and Ondo was "eku subsidi" in mimicry of such formulaic Yoruba greetings as "eku ise" (for someone who is working), "eku faji" (for people in a conversation), etc.
2. "Fuel." For some reason, the word "petrol" seems to be receding from the active idiolect of Nigerians. It is being replaced with "fuel" - in more ways than has ever been the case before. In both American and British English, fuel is not synonymous with petrol. Among its many meanings, fuel is the umbrella term for all substances that produce energy such as coal, petrol (which Americans call gasoline or gas for short), kerosene, diesel, etc. So, technically, the Nigerian government didn't remove subsidy on fuel on January 1; it only removed subsidy on petrol.
But I have come to accept "fuel" as Nigerian English's synonymous term for petrol or gasoline. When I write for a Nigerian audience I too habitually - and intentionally - interchange the two terms. Curiously, in their coverage of the Occupy Nigeria protests, even the American and British news media appeared to have accepted the Nigerian usage of "fuel," at least in their headlines. This is perhaps because they assumed that the price hike also involved products like kerosene and diesel.
3. "Premium Motor Spirit (PMS)." When Nigerian newspapers don't call petrol "fuel," they call it "premium motor spirit." No other variety of English in the world calls petrol by that name. None of my American friends, for instance, had the slightest hint what the term meant when I asked them if they ever encountered it. So I concluded that it probably came to Nigerian (media) English by way of British English.
It turns out that the term has no currency even in British English. My research showed that from the late 1800s up to the late 1930s, business rivals of Carless, Capel & Leonard (now renamed Petrochem Carless Ltd), one of Britain's first oil companies (which also invented the term "petrol") chose to differentiate their product from Carless, Capel & Leonard's "petrol" by calling it "motor spirit." But when "petrol" became a generic term by the 1930s "motor spirit" went out of circulation. It's amazing that our journalists still use this long-dead British archaism in their reportage.
4. "Cabals." This became a part of the active idiolect of Nigerians during the dying days of the Umar Musa Yar'adua administration when a renegade group within the administration alleged that the president had been held hostage by a "cabal." Now Nigerians talk of the "oil cabals" that is reputedly the beneficiary of government's multi-billion-dollar oil subsidy payments. This is all creative, except that cabal can't be pluralized when we are talking about just one conspiratorial clique of power and influence peddlers in the oil industry. The plural form of cabal is legitimate only when we are talking about different cabals, such as the Yar'adua cabal, the Jonathan cabal, and the oil industry cabal.
5. "Palliative." Nigerian government officials have said repeatedly that they would put in place "palliative measures" to help working-class Nigerians cope with the dramatic increase in the cost of living that has attended the sharp increase in the pump price of petrol. But a palliative, properly conceived, only temporarily relieves pains without curing the cause of the pain. That means government will relieve the grief it afflicted on the people only in the short run and thereafter leave the people to wallow in their agony and distress forever. It is obvious that this is not what the government wants to be understood as saying, although that is indeed what they have in mind. Here is a classic case of incompetent grasp of grammar betraying the real motives of people in power.

Grammar is not the problem of Nigeria, the issue requiring action this minute is peace and security, then deciding if southern Nigeria should continue an alliance with dangerous Northern Nigeria.
There is no single country in the world (including the west) without some form of grammar irregularity. My Australian work colleague has just come in and shouted "gid dayy" as supposed to good morning.
You so called educated in that country have your priorities set wrong and so the blind ordinary citizens continue to be misled by you.

Experienced outdoor adventurer hosting several presentations at Carter Caves
OLIVE HILL, Ky. -- Carter Caves State Resort Park will host adventurer Andy Niekamp in April for the last of three presentations about trails, hiking and the outdoors.
Niekamp, a park volunteer from Dayton, Ohio, is the lead adventurer for Outdoor Adventure Connection. He has backpacked more than 13,000 miles, has hiked the Appalachian Trail three times, and is leader of the Dayton Hikers group.
The three presentations are free to the public and will be at the Carter Caves lodge. Arrive early and have dinner at Tierney's Cavern restaurant. There will be all-you-can-eat catfish for $9.99 a person or Little T's sandwiches (catfish, chicken or cheeseburger) for $6.95.
At 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 22, the presentation will be "7,800 Miles On A 2,200 Mile Trail. Lessons Learned From An Appalachian Trail Long Distance Hiker."
Since 1994 Niekamp has hiked 7,800 miles on the Appalachian Trail (AT), a continuous footpath that runs through 14 states from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Katahdin in Maine. He has been awarded three "2,000 miler" certificates by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, which is conferred on hikers who have completed the entire AT; and he is a Life Member of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. His average hike on the trail is 10-15 miles per day, but he has walked up to 40 miles in one day. He labels himself as a chronic section hiker of the AT. He finds each successive end-to-end hike gets easier and more enjoyable. His favorite areas of the trail are the southern Appalachians, New Hampshire and Maine.
Most of his AT hiking is solo, but occasionally he has friends join him for short sections, and he has met many interesting people along the way. The presentation includes photos and tips and advice about hiking the AT.
"The physical and mental demands of long distance hiking are a great way to recharge one's internal batteries and get a fresh look on life," said Niekamp, in a news release.
Carter Caves State Resort Park features a lodge and vacation cottages. The lodge restaurant offers a variety of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. There's also hiking, camping, horse camping, golf, mini-golf, fishing, horseback riding, gem mining and cave tours. The park in northeastern Kentucky is four miles off Interstate 64 between Grayson and Olive Hill (Exit 161). Call 1-800-325-0059.

NEW YORK - As Americans prepared to celebrate the nation's 238th birthday, Hurricane Arthur forced several East Coast cities to switch the dates of their Fourth of July shows and officials in the drought-stricken West urged caution in setting off fireworks.
Boston officials moved the annual Boston Pops July 4 concert and fireworks from Friday to Thursday because of potential heavy rain. They said they were rescheduling the celebration to the best of two bad weather days.
Augusta, Maine, moved its fireworks display to Aug. 2 while several New Hampshire cities moved their fireworks shows to either Saturday or Sunday. In New Jersey, Atlantic City and Ocean City moved their fireworks to Sunday.
In New York City the annual Macy's fireworks show will be back on the East River after five years on the Hudson River. A spokesman said the show, the largest Fourth of July fireworks display in the nation, will go on no matter Friday's weather.
Another New York tradition is the Nathan's hot dog eating contest at Coney Island, where champion Joey Chestnut, who ate 69 wieners and buns in 10 minutes last year, will defend his title on Friday.
Throughout parts of the drought-stricken West, fire officials are warning residents to take precautions when lighting fireworks. Hot and windy weather can make for dangerous conditions, and fireworks have been banned in large swaths of forested areas over concerns they could spark wildfires.
Some communities had considered canceling community firework displays on Friday but many are taking place as planned. In Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, officials moved a Thursday night pops orchestra concert indoors, but said the annual July 4 concert featuring the Roots and fireworks display would go on regardless of rain.
In Washington, D.C., composer John Williams was set to debut a new arrangement of "The Star-Spangled Banner" featuring choirs, trumpets, an orchestra and cannons on the National Mall on Friday.
This year marks the anthem's 200th anniversary. It was in September 1814 when Francis Scott Key was inspired by the sight of the flag over Baltimore's Fort McHenry after a 25-hour British bombardment.

The Ninth Gate shares a number of elements with another recent work from an aging enfant terrible -- Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. (Although Kubrick was 70 when he died and Polanski is now 66, it has always been impossible to regard either as an old man.) Both feature young stars playing thoroughly modern characters, wandering through a paranoid, surreal landscape that seems oddly anachronistic. Both feature castles full of wealthy people engaged in pompous, old-fashioned demonic rituals that are too ludicrous to be truly scary. At least Polanski seems more aware of the silliness of his demonic-ritual scene: The villain's entrance is hilariously dismissive of the tackiness of it all. Unfortunately, it's followed by another demonic ritual scene whose effect is far less comic.
It's easy to imagine that the villain's attitude is reflective of Polanski's toward the project itself. "Here I am," the villain seems to be saying, "a brilliant man, lowered to hobnobbing with superstitious inferiors. What has the world come to?" Likewise, Polanski seems disengaged by The Ninth Gate -- as though offended that this pseudo-profound spook story is the best material he can wrangle while in exile from Hollywood. (The scuttling of The Double, his Dostoyevsky project with John Travolta, certainly didn't help.) There are moments when The Ninth Gate shows the director's unique comic sense of creepiness: A scene with twin bookbinders -- both played by José L ópez Rodero, who is cleverly composited into one frame -- has the same droll, offbeat eeriness that informs much of Cul de Sac and The Tenant.
But such moments are too few and far between. Despite a game attempt by Depp and excellent support from Seigner, Olin and Langella, The Ninth Gate has a tired, offhand feel to it.
