CHADRON – The Chadron State College football team found out Monday it is ranked 20th in the American Football Coaches Association Preseason Division II Coaches Poll.
Chadron State, which went 9-3 and qualified for the NCAA Division II Playoffs a season ago, ended the 2012 campaign ranked 18th. However, Grand Valley State (14th) and West Alabama (16th) both jumped ahead of the Eagles in the preseason poll after finishing behind them in the final ballot in 2012.
"It's always nice to be ranked but ultimately we have to take care of business on the field," second-year head coach Jay Long said.
Valdosta State, which won its third D-II national championship in 2012, received 26 first place votes to secure the top spot in the preseason poll. Minnesota State-Mankato is second and West Texas A&M, Chadron State's opponent on Sept. 12, is third.
Colorado State University-Pueblo, which will play at Chadron State on Oct. 12, is ranked eighth. In addition, the Eagles' opponent in the season-opener, Missouri S&T, received votes.

Holding Adonis
In another place and another lifetime,
gazing into eyes that gazed back with passion.
Kissing you, loving you and how you touched me.

Are you in the world, my sweet lover? Are you?

Blessed was I to hold you so closely. I was

Megalodon, a monster shark that scientists believe died out some 65 million years ago, might still exist and just might still be marauding the sea lanes off the coast of South Africa. Or at least that's the premise of "Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives," which is one of the newest editions to the video annals of Shark Week on the Discovery Channel.
That's right. It's Shark Week again, that time of year when all things shark-related seems to center around the Discovery Channel, unless it's shark-related preposterousness, then that would be the province of the Syfy Channel and movies like "Shartopus" and "Sharknado." And to show they are not above such preposterousness or attempting to cash in on the paranormal and cryptozoology crazes, Discovery went all "X-Files" this Shark Week season, Yahoo TV reported August 2, and delivered a documentary positing that megalodon might still cruise the waters off South Africa, wreaking havoc
Of course, Discovery has been in these murky, cryptozoological waters -- that realm of quasi-science and speculation inhabited by Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster -- before (sort of). They traveled them with their highly questionable and rather unscientific look at mermaids. But "Mermaids: The New Evidence" was an online sensation and a ratings winner for sister channel Animal Planet. It was the follow-up to the successful "Mermaids: The Body Found."
So where else could they go? Apparently into Peter Benchley's nightmares. They didn't get so far as to rearrange John Williams music for "Jaws" by way of Rob Zombie, but given time...
Enter Megalodon, a yacht-sized shark that's three times the size of a Great White. It has a massive jaw structure that holds 275 teeth, each larger than Richard Dreyfuss' head.
And... it might still be alive!
Hardly. Still, as Yahoo TV points out, unlike a few species that were thought to be somewhat legendary (like the giant squid), megalodon has left no actual trace of its existence (except as a fossil). Still, for the diehards, some species have proven to be other than extinct (like the coelocanth). And then there is the discovery of heretofore unknown species, like the oddly unaesthetic -- and rather large -- mega-mouth shark, which was discovered in 1976.
Discovery visited megalodon territory before, producing "Sharkzilla" for Shark Week 2012. With the help of the guys from "Mythbusters," producers built a massive mechanical megalodon.
"Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives" premieres on the first night of Shark Week 2013 at 9 p.m. (EST) on Sunday, August 4.

Victoria Centre's £35m revamp given a thumbs-up by shoppers
Posted: April 10, 2013|
SHOPPERS have welcomed plans for a £35 million makeover of the Victoria Centre.
Owner Intu Shopping has unveiled the plans which include re-cladding the main entrance between Boots, in Lower Parliament Street, and the entrance to John Lewis in Milton Street.
A planning application is to be made later this month with a view to starting the project after next January's sales.
Shopper Ann Walker was pleased to hear the rejuvenation of the Victoria Centre had moved a step closer. The 56-year-old from Stapleford said: "It will be great. It should be more like the Westfield Centre in Derby – especially with the Broadmarsh being so poor.
"The Victoria Centre needs to be more open with more light and I'd love to see more seating areas and maybe a food court.
"We could do with bringing some more individual shops in too. The shops are very much the same.
"It can feel quite claustrophobic, like you are underground. More people will come as well after its is refurbished, especially to start off with."
The refurbishment works are expected to take around 15 months.
The plans also include removing staircases and creating "break out" areas around the lifts for uses such as coffee bars.
Fellow shopper David Cross, of Hyson Green, thought the news was really good for Nottingham.
The 49-year-old said: "The city deserves better, it needs to be done.
"I come nearly every day and I think it's all right, but it needs a bit of work doing. It will be good for the city.
"The plans look really, really good. It's going to make Nottingham more modern."
Erminea Johnson uses the shopping centre regularly and lives in Mapperley Top.
The 75-year-old said: "The shopping centre in Derby is clean and shiny – this is a bit embarrassing in comparison.
"Overall it seems like a good idea. It should be much brighter, so that would be nice.
"Redoing the outside would be really good – it looks dated at the moment."
However, Rebecca Hurd, who lives in Kegworth and occasionally visits the Victoria Centre disagreed.
She said: "It looks just as good as in the plans now. If the place was empty I would understand. It looks good anyway.
"I only come occasionally to meet people for coffee. I think it's adequate – the facilities have always been good enough.
Another shopper, who did not want to be named said the refurbishment was a good idea. The 74-year-old from Lambley added: "It is something we need. It's got a decent reputation as a shopping centre we just need to tart it up a bit."
The centre was last refurbished in the 1990s.

One area of blowing dust pushed through the Lubbock, Texas area around 4pm Tuesday. Shortly after, another area of blowing dust worked into the Northern Texas Panhandle -- after moving south out of Colorado.
As the dust reached Texas, twitter and social media responded. Below is a look at some of those tweets (in no particular timeline)

Paul Singer on the Financial Crisis and Public Policy
The founder and manager of the Elliott Associates hedge fund, Paul Singer, was one of my partners in the New York Sun and is the chairman of the Manhattan Institute. He recently passed along some perspectives on the financial crisis and public policy that our readers may find of interest. Before I dig into the details, one overall point is worth making – this is a climate in which people who invest for a living are spending a lot of time thinking about politics and policy, because the government is such a big player in the economy now that it's often hard to make reasonable investment decisions without making judgments about how government will act.
Much of Mr. Singer's document is an analysis and criticism of the financial regulation bill passed by the House of Representatives, the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009. Mr. Singer notes drily that the bill has already been passed by the House, notwithstanding the fact that the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission that Congress created and tasked with investigating the crisis isn't scheduled to report until December 2010. There's some precedent for this; Congress passed the Patriot Act long before the 9/11 Commission reported. But it does seem a bit backward.
One complaint Mr. Singer has with the legislation is its creation of a "bailout fund" to be filled with "unlimited assessments on banks over $75 billion and hedge funds over $10 billion" in assets. Mr. Singer says this won't work:
Another concern is with the "resolution process," which, under the bill, would allow the FDIC and the Treasury "astonishing and nearly uncontrolled discretion." Mr. Singer writes:
Mr. Singer also warns of inflation:
I don't agree with everything Mr. Singer has to say. He's a fan of the Interstate Highway system: "A fine example of the kind of stimulus spending that has multiplier effects in unlocking sustainable growth was the Eisenhower-era interstate highway system. The program built the backbone of America, and stimulated growth and jobs for decades. Towns and cities literally sprang up along the highway. It is illustrative of our point even though it was motivated primarily by national defense rather than economic stimulus." I think one has to reckon with the downside of that highway system, too; Michael Sandel describes it in his book Justice as "reliance on the private automobile, suburban sprawl, environmental degradation, and living patterns corrosive to community." Or as Amity Shlaes conceded in a pro-highway column on Bloomberg, "The outcome of the interstate highway program wasn't optimal. It favored truckers over cities. The roads cut off some downtowns from the commerce that had heretofore sustained them. Minorities pointed out that their communities often bore the brunt of construction. According to Rose, some black political and business leaders spoke of white men's roads going through black men's bedrooms. As for budgeting, the interstate so far outran its original cost estimates that Senator William Proxmire awarded it his so- called golden fleece prize for federal profligacy." Never mind the fact that road-building might have been left to state governments or private companies.
Mr. Singer supports "a global, comprehensive increase in margin, reserve and capital requirements to limit leverage," a limit on "all institutions, not just 'regulated entities." He insists that "such limitations are not an unnecessary impingement on freedom. They are not harsh restrictions imposed on a previous state of pristine and peaceful utopian bliss." I tend to disagree that such limits are necessary, desirable, or workable, for reasons I explain more fully here, here, here, here and here.
Mr. Singer writes, "The winners and losers in the financial engineering epoch of the last ten years grew so far apart that the disparity framed the societal anger now coursing through the political system." I actually don't think the anger is rooted in the disparity between winners and losers. Poor and middle class people aren't angry at winners like Oprah, the Google guys, Bill Gates, or Warren Buffett. Again, Professor Sandel, quoting President Obama, has a point: "This is America. We don't disparage wealth. We don't begrudge anybody for achieving success. And we certainly believe that success should be rewarded. But what gets people upset – and rightfully so – are executives rewarded for failure, especially when those rewards are subsidized by U.S. taxpayers." So maybe the anger relates less to the last ten years but to the last year and a half, and less to winners but to losers who are paid like winners, and with tax dollars.

A grip for the handle of a golf club having a single polyurethane-felt panel that is wrapped about an underlisting sleeve. The side edges of the panel are adhesively sealed together. The unitary grip reduces impact shock and also provides a feeling of tackiness in the manner of a spirally wrapped polyurethane-felt grip.
1. A grip for the handle of a golf club, such grip comprising:
a resilient underlisting sleeve having an opening configured to receive a handle of a golf club, a cap, a nipple, and a main portion with an exterior surface;
a single panel that includes first and second side edges and a polyurethane outside layer bonded to a textile inside layer, the side edges of the panel comprising compressed polyurethane wherein at least a portion of the outer surface of both side edges is recessed inwards from a generally circular shape formed by the outer surface of the panel, such panel having a configuration corresponding to the exterior surface of the resilient sleeve;
the single panel being adhered to the underlisting sleeve with the side edges of the panel cooperating to define a longitudinal seam extending from the interior surface of the textile layer to the exterior surface of the polyurethane layer, wherein the seam further includes a deposit of polyurethane over both recessed side edges, said deposit cooperating with said outer surface of said panel to form a continuous surface covering said seam.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/062,046, filed Feb. 18, 2005, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/392,480, filed Mar. 18, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,857,971.
This application hereby incorporates by reference U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/392,480, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,857,971, and Ser. No. 11/062,046, in their entireties.
This application relates to an improved grip for golf clubs.
The golf club grip of the present invention may be manufactured at considerably less cost than existing spirally wrapped grips, since the intensive labor of spirally wrapping a strip around an underlisting sleeve within specific pressure parameters is eliminated. Additionally, the single panel grip of the present invention will not twist either during manufacture or after it is adhered to an underlisting sleeve. My new grip has an appearance similar to conventional molded rubber grips so as to appeal to professional golfers and low-handicap amateurs, and also provides a greater area for the application of decorative designs.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to the drawings, in
More particularly, referring to
Preferably, the thickness of the polyurethane layer will be about 0.3–0.5 millimeters and the thickness of the felt layer about 0.8–1.7 millimeters. The polyurethane layer 60 provides a cushioned grasp of a golfer's hands on a golf club and also enhances the golfer's grip by providing increased tackiness between the player's hand and the grip. The felt layer 62 provides strength to the polyurethane layer and serves as a means for attaching the bonded-together polyurethane and felt panel to underlisting sleeve U.

It should be understood that the outer surface of a grip embodying the present invention may be coated by means of a brush or spray with a thin layer of polyurethane (not shown) to protect such surface, add tackiness thereto, and increase the durability thereof.
A golf club grip of the present invention provides the several advantages over existing wrapped grips described hereinbefore. Additionally, such grip has the appearance of a molded, one-piece grip familiar to professional and low-handicap golfers. Although some of such golfers are reluctant to use a non-traditional wrapped club, they are willing to play with a structurally integral grip of the present invention, since such grip affords the shock-absorbing and tackiness qualities of a wrapped grip.
Various modifications and changes may be made with respect to the foregoing detailed description without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
148:7-14 Even in this world, dark and bad as it is, God is praised. The powers of nature, be they ever so strong, so stormy, do what God appoints them, and no more. Those that rebel against God's word, show themselves to be more violent than even the stormy winds, yet they fulfil it. View the surface of the earth, mountains and all hills; from the barren tops of some, and the fruitful tops of others, we may fetch matter for praise. And assuredly creatures which have the powers of reason, ought to employ themselves in praising God. Let all manner of persons praise God. Those of every rank, high and low. Let us show that we are his saints by praising his name continually. He is not only our Creator, but our Redeemer; who made us a people near unto him. We may by the Horn of his people understand Christ, whom God has exalted to be a Prince and a Saviour, who is indeed the defence and the praise of all his saints, and will be so for ever. In redemption, that unspeakable glory is displayed, which forms the source of all our hopes and joys. May the Lord pardon us, and teach our hearts to love him more and praise him better.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 7. - Praise the Lord from the earth. The counterpart of the clause in ver. 1, "Praise ye the Lord from the heavens." Earth must join with heaven in the praise of God. Ye dragons; or, "ye sea-monsters" (comp. Psalm 74:13, where the same word is used). Hengstenberg translates by "whales;" but all the greater sea-animals are probably included. And all deeps. The extreme "ocean depths" are meant - "lower deeps," in certain parts of what was commonly known as "the great deep" (Psalm 36:6).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Praise the Lord from the earth,.... Let his praise resound from all creatures on earth, and reach him in the highest heavens; this phrase comprehends all terrestrial beings afterwards particularly mentioned; all in the terraqueous globe, all that arise from it, are upon it, or within it;
ye dragons, and all deeps; either land dragons, or rather sea dragons, the water or sea being the proper place of them, Psalm 44:19; these, as cruel, as poisonous, and pernicious as they are, are made to honour and praise the Lord, Isaiah 43:20; and such as are mystically signified by, them, as Satan, tyrannical and persecuting princes, and antichristian ones, as Pharaoh king of Egypt, Rome Pagan and Papal; out of whom the Lord has or will get himself praise in the deliverance of his people from them, and in the destruction of them, and in the confessions they have been obliged to make of him, Revelation 12:3; these seem to be set in contrast with the angels. The word is used for the great whales the Lord made, which are thought to be the same with the "leviathan" of Job; of whom so many things are said, which declare the power and wisdom of God in the formation of it, Genesis 1:21, &c. and these may be put for the innumerable creatures in the sea, which in their way show forth the praise and glory of God, Psalm 102:24; as "all deeps" do, deep waters, especially the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants of them; where the wonders of God are to be seen, and give occasion to those that go down to the sea in ships to praise his name, Psalm 107:23.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
7-10. The call on the earth, as opposed to heaven, includes seas or depths, whose inhabitants the dragon, as one of the largest (on leviathan, see on [636]Ps 104:26), is selected to represent. The most destructive and ungovernable agents of inanimate nature are introduced.
Psalm 148:7 Additional Commentaries
Praise the Lord from the Heavens!
…6He has also established them forever and ever; He has made a decree which will not pass away. 7Praise the LORD from the earth, Sea monsters and all deeps; 8Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;…

President Obama, hosting the G20 meetings that kick off today in Pittsburgh, has asked Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to deliver a presentation on his country's elimination of fuel price subsidies, replacing them with needs-based grants to poor consumers. The U.S. estimates that if developing countries were to follow Indonesia's example they could reduce fossil fuel emissions by 12%. The question is whether President Obama is willing to follow his own advice.
According to the International Energy Agency, the biggest developing countries spend over $300 billion a year to keep the price of gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and bottled gas artificially low. In developing countries, these subsidies matter a great deal to poor households that need kerosene and gas for lighting and cooking, and to taxi drivers and other small business operators who depend on affordable gasoline and diesel. In Nigeria, taxi and motorcycle delivery drivers will wait for hours – sometimes days – to buy gasoline at the official price, while those who have the means to pay the market price jump to the head of the queue. Threats to reduce or eliminate subsidies can bring tens of thousands of people into the streets and threaten to topple governments. One Indian energy expert, quoted in The Financial Times, says that phasing out fuel subsidies is "an extremely long shot. It's politically absolutely non-feasible."
The United States is just as addicted to fossil fuel subsidies as India or China, Iran, or South Africa, which are among the countries that offer the biggest subsidies. But in the United States, as much as motorists grumble about the pump price of gasoline, the main beneficiaries are in the energy industry itself. Much fanfare has been raised about the Obama Administration's subsidies and grants for alternative energy, but according to a recent report by the Environmental Law Institute, from 2002 to 2008 the U.S. Government spent over $72 billion in subsidies for fossil fuels, mainly in the form of tax breaks and reduced lease payments – though cash grants amounted to more than $15 billion – versus only $29 billion for alternative energy. But more than half of that $29 billion, or $16 billion, went to subsidize corn-based ethanol, not a fossil fuel but as big an emitter of greenhouse gases as gasoline.
Fuel subsidies are bad for the environment, it goes without saying, but they are bad fiscal policy as well. In the United States and other northern countries, it makes sense to help poor people buy heating oil or gas to get through the long, cold winters, but this can be done by means of cash grants, fuel vouchers, or tax credits. It doesn't require that all consumers – and the producers too – also get subsidies from the taxpayer.
I would love to see India, China and the rest agree to phase out blanket fuel subsidies in favor of targeted assistance to the poor. I would love to see the United States do the same. I wonder which, if any, of these countries will take the plunge. My money is not on the U.S.

Here's a photo of Jannik Hansen from the Canucks' first-round series with the Kings. I'm not entirely sure what's going on in it. It looks like, maybe, Hansen collided with Rob Scuderi along the boards and the two went down.
But it also sort of looks like Hansen convinced Scuderi to let himself be used as a beanbag chair. The LA defender's nickname is "The Piece". Maybe that's only half of it, and the second half is "Of rumpus room furniture"?Continue Reading —›
April has been a rough month for Roberto Luongo. On the 5th, he was pulled in favour of Cory Schneider in a game versus the Anaheim Ducks, and the Rogers Arena fans jeered him as he left the crease. In the playoffs, he was one of the Canucks' best players in their first two games and for this, he was replaced by Schneider once again, never getting back into the goal.
Then, he watched from the bench as the Canucks were eventually eliminated in just 5 games, leading to a long offseason full of speculation, much of which will be focused on him. Has he tended goal in Vancouver for the last time? This week, he admitted he would waive his no-trade clause if asked, then a report surfaced that he had asked to be asked, so… perhaps. It's an unstable time for the man either way.
But, if there's one thing about Luongo that remains a constant, it's that his super-secret suspected Twitter account will remain one of the best things on the Internet.Continue Reading —›
Just three days ago, Roberto Luongo indicated that he would be willing to waive his no trade clause, if he was asked to. I thought this was a mature, magnanimous response that was a further indication of his professionalism, but didn't think much else would come of it. It was good to know that he wouldn't hold the team hostage if they found the right deal, but to me it didn't mean all that much.
It didn't mean that Gillis had asked him to waive his no trade clause, nor did it mean that Gillis would ask him to do so. I certainly didn't think it meant that Luongo himself would ask for a trade.
According to reports, however, that's exactly what he did. Nick Kypreos reported that Luongo said in his exit meeting that he wanted out, while James Duthie and Dan Murphy started tweeting teams that were on Luongo's list of eligible bachelors. It was a startling revelation that Mike Gillis denied, albeit weakly. So, unless the reports are erroneous or some sort of ploy, it seems that we already have the answer as to which of the Canucks' two very good goaltenders will be traded.
But I have to admit that I do have one big concern about keeping Cory Schneider rather than Luongo. The issue is fairly simple: there have been a lot of young goaltenders in the NHL that have experienced tremendous success in their first full season in the league, then faltered badly afterwards.Continue Reading —›

Bristol Rugby not at their best, but it's six wins in a row
Posted: December 24, 2012|
BRISTOL produced the least convincing of the six consecutive wins they have now accumulated – but the most important headline from their latest victory is that it puts them in the top four of the Championship.
The hosts, who had led bottom-of-the-table Doncaster 26-6 with six minutes to play, finished the game looking jagged and slightly disjointed as the visitors found an extra gear that allowed them to score two tries.
The late scores caused mild concern, if not outright panic, in the Bristol ranks – but time was always going to be against Doncaster, who finished without so much as a losing bonus point after Jamie Lennard missed a drop-goal attempt with the last kick of the match.
Head coach Liam Middleton felt his team had allowed Doncaster – who sank to the bottom of the table following Jersey's surprise win over Leeds 24 hours earlier – back into the game after making a series of late replacements that affected their tempo and continuity.
Related content
But, while it is true Bristol were not at their polished best, the league table now shows they have clambered into the top four from the mid-table obscurity of last month – and they have discovered how to win when even playing below their best.
"We find ourselves, at the end of the year, in the top four – and several weeks ago we were languishing in eighth place," said Middleton. "So, well done to the boys for pulling that back – now we've got to sit up and ask ourselves 'are we going to push this on?' I thought there were aspects of the game today where we had the potential to push on and we've just got to get back to work.
"I don't think system-wise or selection-wise there are any issues, it's a maturity around accuracy and understanding how we apply pressure. I think we could have applied more pressure to Doncaster, and that's in different ways."
In reality, Bristol only dropped off once they had gathered an unassailable lead, Mitch Eadie and George Watkins' second-half tries turning a 9-6 lead into a 26-6 advantage that had Doncaster on the ropes.
And while Bristol never quite managed to execute the knockout blow, allowing their visitors back into the contest through late scores from the impressive full-back Connor Braid and Chris Planchant, they were deserving winners of a distinctly average contest.
Bristol's staples of scrum and driving line-out – aided by the return of Jason Hobson, who is free to play until the Rugby Football Union hear his appeal against a 12-week ban for biting – gave them the upper hand, while Adrian Jarvis again controlled the play with calmness and authority from fly-half.
The returning David McIlwaine, playing against his former club, also looked lively on the wing, while Redford Pennycook and Eadie ensured the home side enjoyed the better of the back-row exchanges.
The game will not be remembered as a Christmas classic, which is a shame given that 6,045 supporters – a season's best for Bristol – turned out to watch them extend their winning run in the league to four matches.
The real stars of this latest Bristol victory, however, were probably the Memorial Stadium ground staff, who, after seeing Bristol Rovers' match against Rotherham called off the previous day, worked tirelessly to not only ensure that the game went ahead but that the pitch played superbly.
Any fears Rovers supporters had over yesterday's match ruining the Memorial Stadium surface were, fortunately, unfounded.
After an uninspiring first half, Bristol led 9-6, with three Jarvis penalties outdoing the two scored by Lennard for Doncaster, and Glen Townson being held up over the line as Bristol's best try-scoring opportunity of the half went begging.
Middleton's men did enough after the break, though, with Eadie powering over as the Doncaster defence, after initially resisting, were driven back over their own line from 20 metres. Jarvis added the conversion to make it 16-6 – and then kicked a penalty to increase the lead to 13 points.
Doncaster spurned a glorious chance to grab a try when centre Will Simpson, after showing excellent skill to get within a few inches of the line, spilled the ball, which was punished when Watkins beat Tyson Lewis for pace on the outside after James Grindal's quick tap-and-go and a fine pass from Jack Tovey.
With the game won, Bristol eased off, allowing Braid to create a huge gap for himself to score his side's first try, with Planchant then going over after lock Matt Challinor's break.

Dialogue only possible way to move forward : Armenian President
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has addressed the opposition alliance Armenian National Congress' (ANC) call for a dialogue.
Below is the full text of his address as it appears on an official press release by the presidential office.
For the forces, which are concerned with the problems of our people and development of our state, the only logical and acceptable way to move forward and find solutions to the existing difficulties is dialogue and discussions. All other methods can be dangerous, full of inevitable losses. We have been speaking about it constantly and will not recoil from repeating it again and again. After the presidential elections in 2008, my first public statement was a call for cooperation directed to all political forces and non-governmental groups. And ever since, the working style of the authorities remains unchanged.
No matter how difficult, at times even tough the discussions have been, the Political Coalition has been able to maintain constructive cooperation with the parliamentary opposition – Armenian Revolutionary Federation and Heritage Party – for the benefit of Armenia's advancement. We have not only been absolutely open for cooperation with all political forces, but have created corresponding mechanisms. The work format with the extra parliamentary parties allowed to juxtapose approaches existing in the political field and related to the issues which are vital for our state and our nation. The establishment of the Public Council also was aimed at the attraction of as many social groups as possible in the decision making processes, and we always consider proposals coming from that structure.
Dialogue with the Armenian National Congress has also been initiated by us. We have started the process and it was done not under any pressure, as some forces embarrassed by that dialogue are trying to present, but as a result of our deeply conscientious conviction. I assess positively our work with the ANC for last several months and hope that there is mutual understanding that the launched process should be upheld and advanced through the joint efforts. To destroy is easy, however political maturity is manifested through the ability to add to whatever has already been done. I believe, if the parties are able to abstain from the temptation to corner each other and the process by one-step, unreasoned moves, it will be possible to resolutely move forward and bring greater benefits to our people and our state. From this point of view, the essential principle is clear: ultimatums are unacceptable, and talking in ultimatums is a road which leads nowhere, and turning a dialogue into negotiations is simply unacceptable.
I would like to restate: we have always been open and ready for any kind of discussion. If there are political forces, which have concrete and reasonable proposals, we are ready to provide concrete solutions; If among the numerous problems facing our people and our country the ANC is interested exclusively in the elections, the Speaker of the National Assembly is ready to personally receive the representatives of that political body and hear them out. If, however, there are suggestions aimed at the rise of our economy and solution of the social problems existing in the country, then the Prime Minster personally will receive them and discuss these issues. If there are issues which command intervention by the President, the Head of the Presidential Staff will receive them and discuss all issues.
However, if instead of negotiations, which are unacceptable, the Armenian National Congress is genuinely ready to continue the dialogue on the outline of the country's development, essential issues of the country's foreign and internal policies and desires to do so through the specially designated individuals, the representatives of the Coalition parties can sit down at the negotiation table with them. The Political Coalition is ready to conduct such discussions with all political forces which possess concrete proposals.
We have embarked on a very important road, and it is important not only for today. I am confident that if somberness of mind does not leave us, we will be able to install a new political culture which is extremely important for independent Armenia.

The National Foundation for Credit Counseling and Experian are collaborating in an effort to provide more effective borrower counseling assistance in 2014.
Experian is committing 80,000 free, 12-month memberships to NFCC customers nationwide through the freecreditscore.com website.
Experian is investing in financial education intended to remove the mystery surrounding credit reports and scores, said Victor Nichols, CEO of Experian North America. Memberships are expected to simultaneously educate consumers and demonstrate the impact that credit education products can have on a persons long-term financial wellness.
Program features are designed to increase consumers understanding of credit and help them make educated financial decisions.
The goal is to enable counselors to help people be aware of their financial behaviors, good and bad, and use that as a powerful motivator, says Dawn Lockhart, president and CEO of NFCC Member Agency Family Foundations.
The freecreditscore.com membership includes access to Experian credit reports, credit scores along with credit monitoring, new activity alerts, mobile app alerts and updates, and access to fraud resolution agents. Plus, Experians Score Planner shows consumers how various financial actions impact credit scores.
It will support NFCCs Sharpen Your Financial Focus program introduced to the public in September, to complement financial education services provided by NFCC member agencies.
In addition to online access to information the program offers one-on-one financial reviews with an NFCC certified financial professional and a financial education workshop.

Question:Not Able to Send Voice Memo Via MMS
I just bought the 3GS today and am playing with the voice memo app. When I went to share my voice memo, I wanted to mms it, but the only options that pop up are to e-mail it or cancel. On Apples voice memos page (http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3g-s/voice-memos.html) it shows that you have 3 choices: e-mail, mms, or cancel. Is there something wrong that Im doing or with my system, or is the information that Apple put out wrong and you can only e-mail a voice memo? Thanks.

Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic was announced in a recent Tokyo press conference as the 2005 spokesman for martial arts goods manufacturer BODYMAKER. Mirko will appear in BODYMAKER's TV commercials from the end of March. Previous BODYMAKER representatives include Kazushi Sakuraba and Hayato "Mach" Sakurai.
Susumu Nagabuchi, President of BODYMAKER developer BB-SPORTS, explained the move. "Among a wide variety of sports, martial arts are something great that we can send from Japan to the world. If we think about Japanese sporting good makers, martial arts goods makers still aren't even known among the hardcore fans. We wanted to break that wall down and, with the help of PRIDE, a minor sporting goods maker will become a giant sporting goods maker, and Mirko Cro Cop will become our representative. I really wanted Mirko, who captured the hearts of Japanese fans with his deadly left high-kick, to share with us his power."
"The fighters are the stars on the PRIDE stage," Dream Stage Entertainment CEO Nobuyuki Sakakibara commented on the collaboration. "BODYMAKER supports that and with the appointment of Mirko as their spokesman, I hope we will be able to give each other advice. Our business philosophy of ??rom Japan to the world' is the same. I want to cooperate closely with them as an enterprise and continue to grow."

Intense, Spice, Black Cherry, Medium-bodied
Wine Spectator - Bordeaux, France - "This is very pure, with a mix of damson plum, black cherry and red currant fruit all steeped together and backed by juicy bergamot, toasted spice and licorice notes. There's nice freshness through the finish, with a tarry edge hanging just in the background."

Kirstin Cronn-Mills writes young adult novels and adult poetry. She teaches at South Central College in North Mankato, MN, where she is the faculty advisor for SCC PRIDE (People Really Interested in Diversity Education). She lives with her husband and teenage son and very much enjoys goofing around. Beautiful Music for Ugly Children is her second novel.
DISCLAIMER #1: Some of these writers are my friends. They are not paying me to mention them. They just write great books.
DISCLAIMER #2: I'm stealing this line from my publisher, Flux, but it's eternally true: YA is a point of view, not a reading level.
DISCLAIMER #3: I am biased toward contemporary realistic YA. I realize it's not the fad right now, but I don't care.
DISCLAIMER #4: I will always suggest the Harry Potter series as a great way to get into YA. Yes, the series starts with a middle grade voice, but that has more to do with the concerns of the characters rather than whether the books are easy to read (see disclaimer #1). These books are deceptively complicated, and they take time to unpack. However, they're also just plain fun. If you want an introduction to YA, they're worth your time.
In my day job, I'm a college teacher—literature, academic writing, creative writing, critical thinking. All of those classes require some exploration of "what does this piece of communication DO?" And of course, communication can do different things for different people. But it's the first question I ask when I decide what to teach (or write): what do I want this book/idea/film/discussion to DO? I decided to approach this post with the same spirit: if you're going to read YA, what do you want it to DO for you?
First, as an aside—do you want your book to be a favorite of mine when I was young? Probably not, but if you do, you need A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle, Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell, or The Cat Ate My Gymsuit by Paula Danziger. I don't know if any would be considered YA (I'd call them middle grade), but they're still awesome books.
Back to today. Do you want your book to scare you? For me, that's dystopian YA—books set in the real world with a futuristic or science-fictiony or fantasy twist. The scariest book I've read lately is Delirium by Lauren Oliver. Love is illegal, and it becomes very scary business when Lena discovers what it means to be in love. My next-to-be-read dystopian is The Way We Fall by Megan Crewe. Virus books like this one—blabbing secrets! Hallucinations! Death!—scare the crap of me, because they seem possible.
Do you want your book to amuse you? There are plenty of funny YAs out there—too many to list—though humor isn't a subcategory of YA as much as it is a delightful spice in in the YA mix. Will Grayson, Will Grayson is my suggestion here. A double author book by John Green and David Levithan, the story revolves around Tiny Cooper ("It takes a village to date Tiny Cooper") and two Will Graysons. When you're a teenager, EVERYTHING is either deadly serious or highly hilarious. I like my novels with a mix of both, and this one delivers nicely.
Do you want your book to send you to other worlds? I'm not much of a fantasy reader, except for Disclaimer #2. However, my thirteen-year-old son has recently loved Divergent by Veronica Roth, and The Heir Chronicles by Cinda Williams Chima. We also enjoyed the Percy Jackson series, though those are more middle grade/early YA. In fairy tale retellings, I loved Ash by Malinda Lo. The easy tag line is "a lesbian version of Cinderella," but it's so much more lush and complex than that. I was also astounded by The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, which isn't fantasy as much as a reimagining of Nazi Germany through the eyes of Death (the character) and a girl named Liesl.
Do you want your book to remind you of your own teenage years? There are oodles of choices. Were you an athlete? I'd send you to Chasing Alliecat by Rebecca Fjelland Davis (competitive cyclists find a dead body) or anything by Chris Crutcher. I also loved Stupid Fast by Geoff Herbach. Everyone can sympathize with oddly athletic Felton Reinstein and his grew-too-fast body (and mind). Stupid Fast is also hysterical. Are you a fan of mean girls? Find Cracked up to Be or Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers. She's one of the best writers out there for yanking you back into the halls of high school, and Some Girls Are will freak you out with the lengths the mean girls go to in order to remain queen bees. Yowza.
And speaking of freaking out, do you want your book to reveal the grit in teenage lives? Man oh man, is there some great edgy YA out there! Be warned, however: these books often contain rough language, sexuality, drugs, and sketchy situations. My most recent love is Brooklyn, Burning by Steve Brezenoff. It's love without restrictions in some dangerous places. Anything by A.S. King is solid and wonderful as well, and she often slips in some magic realism, which I like. Will Grayson, Will Grayson also falls in this group, because of its gay characters. I've also appreciated Beautiful and Clean by Amy Reed. The intensity of the girls in her fiction will echo for many grown-ups. A book I'm looking forward to is Narc by Crissa-Jean Chappell. The title alone tells you it's not going to be an easy read.
Personally, I want a book to be my pal.
Obviously, books are for entertainment, but they were also my first friends as a child. I relied on them for escape, comfort, and general companionship, and it's still true today. When I stop reading and start writing YA, I do it for the joy of telling stories about awesome and hilarious people who happen to be teenagers. But I also do it with the secret hope that someone will pick up my book and think, "I love this story, and I can see myself in here. This book is my ally."
Hopefully one of these books will become your friend, too.

Dr. Bruce Jones sounds like a hate-monger. Perhaps he should re-read the Sermon On the Mount. David Pasinski's letter is to the point. Anyone who self-identifies as Catholic or Christian should read Pastor Martin Niemoller's words and pray about them if prayer is truly how they receive spiritual guidance and not just a way they might exhort the creator to do their bidding.
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
What you refer to as "my" version is referenced in the Catholic Encyclopedia. Who do you think was being thrown to the lions? Christians were thrown into the area when they were persecuted by the Roman government. The original Christians? Jews, Ephesians, Greeks, and other people of the eastern Mediterranean. If you are so well educated in the history of your church, you would know this. Read Dominick Crossan. I myself was baptized and educated Catholic. I managed to find out my own history. Why don't you? We are entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts.
Christ did not institute the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was "formed" when the Roman Emperor Constantine's wife converted to Christianity and the emperor decided that he might not want to throw his wife to the lions. Constantine then legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire and some parts of Christ's teachings were utilized by the Roman Empire in its expansion plans. Many parts of Christ's teachings, such as "judge not lest ye be judged" and "love your neighbor as yourself" were marginalized. Lack of knowledge about church history is not surprising because church history is not even taught in Catholic primary schools. Unfortunately much of what is touted as "moral" or "religious" based "infrastructure" today is sex- obsessed, dirty- minded thinking. Children growing into responsible adults need love, nurturing and truth about their bodies and the world works.
Lilly Ledbetter might disagree with you Mr. Mitchell.
Homosexuality does not equate to pedophilia.
It sounds like you are looking to take the splinter out of your neighbor's eye while ignoring the log in your own eye.
Where's the love?
Delchiante writes: "And one equating race with sex preferences as equal inequality loses all credibility... But as a gay person you do feel oppressed by society because it hasnt fully accepted your perversions of Gods plan.. And that , pardon the pun, rubs you the wrong way.."
Nowhere did I say that I was gay. A person does not have to BE gay to recognize the humanity and equality of someone who IS gay.
Your "pun" is crude and dirty minded - your thought process, not mine, not Reverend Heath's. Maybe you need to look in the mirror.
Civil marriage equal rights should not be a states rights issue any more than slavery should have been a states rights issue. The fact is, marriages exist in the civil sphere and the religious sphere. Many civil marriages are not recognized by specific religions and that will not change. Gay marriage or marriage between divorced Catholics may still not be recognized by religions but those religions have no right to force their views on non-religious citizens of the USA. That should be against public policy. To the extent that "religion" cloaks pedophilia, violence against women of their own faith, violence against children of their own flock and violence against people of other tribes, cultures and belief systems, civil authorities have the right to step in and stop the violence. As for Biblical injunctions against gay marriage or in favor of stoning women, I would suggest that those hanging their hats on Genesis and Old Testament Books study the Zohar. It will take you a bit but you might learn something about thinking of those who studied those texts close to the time those texts were written. Otherwise, read another book. Ultimately, violence and denial of human rights to one is denial of human rights to all.
As for Sodom, the crime committed in Sodom was the rape of a man seeking shelter and hospitality. How many men today manipulate circumstance to get sexual access to little boys AND girls under the false pretense of "talking" or "counseling". THAT, my friends in Christ, is the crime of Sodom and it has nothing to do with gay sex and everything to do with deceit and sexual abuse.
I do not hate the Church. And you again, as generally, respond to those who disagree with you with your own psychological projections and not reality. The nuns in question, in their own lives, abide by church doctrine without forcing it on others. That is a good example of what Christ called his followers to do.
The victims and descendants of victims of the Roman Catholic Church may disagree with you about all the "good" done by the church. You are correct that other churches do damage too, but that is not a good rationale for discounting the damage the RC church has done to others - not to mention to its own people.
You are correct that people who don't agree with the Church are free to leave. Many do.
PS for nonaniceguy: The nuns being targetted by the office of the inquisition were meeting the needs of God's people without requiring those people to conform to Catholic doctrine. The nuns themselves followed vows of poverty, chastity and obedience in their own lives, but when ministering to the needs of the poor, they did not require the poor to follow Roman Catholic Doctrine.
A nun following Christ might well be ministering to her enemy. Christ called upon his follower to love their enemies.
Jewish people - who WERE the original Christians and little "c" catholics by the way, non-Catholic persons everywhere, children abused by priests, indigenous people slaughtered in the name of the Roman Empire and its church, so called witches - all of these people are not junk either and church doctrine - in support of the Roman Empire, supported their destruction. That you fail to believe church history is what it is is evident in your posts. That you discount the lives of the many "born" people ruined by the hegemony of the church is sad. Eric's letter was historically correct. It is what it is, my brother in Christ. I simply asked you who you pray to when you recite "lord have mercy." You can answer or not - it is none of my business personally. Whom, if anyone, I worship, is none of your business.
Eric's letter is spot on correct about the history of the Roman Catholic Church. Read the Catholic Encyclopedia if you don't believe it. Read the works of Dominic Crossan. Jesus of Nazareth taught love. If there is one God, and the RC church claims there is, then that God created everyone and God doesn't make junk. The Roman Empire itself crucified Christ. I wonder, Mr. notaniceguy, when you are kneeling and supplicating, "Lord have mercy", who is this lord you are asking mercy of? Are you praying to Jesus of Nazareth, the itinerant rabbi crucified by the temporal powers of the Roman Empire? Are you asking mercy of a violent overlord?
There are many issues which are not being addressed here: domestic violence perpetrated against children - often in the name of discipline - is FAR more prevalent than stranger danger sexual abuse. Being taught to accept physical abuse as punishment sets children up for being abused later. There is much much hypocrisy in discussions regarding sexual abuse. Most abuse occurs within families and neighborhoods. Much abuse occurs against low income, cognitively challenged and disabled victims. Much abuse against girls and women are covered up. Often when a child is abused, others hear about it and try their luck with that same child. Many moralistic institutions promote sexual ignorance, shame and the equation of sexual thinking as "dirty" which keeps everything hidden, surpressed, uninformed, marginalized and unhealthy. This sets the scene for sexual abuse: just look at the crimes committed within the Catholic Church. Look at the sexual proclivities of preachers such as Ted Haggart and Jimmy Swaggart. Sexual compulsion can be related to environment, brain function, abusers having been abused themselves. I might bet that many registered sex offenders have multiple problems and I bet that many of them are from the ranks of the poor. Regarding the case of the Syracuse DPW worker - as referenced in the letter - my question is: what makes a 15 year old boy willing to be "picked up" by a grown man? Here is another question: what made the call girls who provided sexual services to "difficult" customer Elliot Spitzer willing to do that?
Demonization of sex and sexuality leads to abuse and makes low income, lower status offenders easy targets so everyone can feel good about protecting the children. As long as institutional offenders and promoters of the debasement of human love and interaction are allowed to go on peddling their control freak shame based ignorance, sexual abuse will continue to occur. Sex offender registries don't protect anyone and unfairly target one class of offense. Good education and the inculcation of the value of self respect is the best way to prevent human beings both from being abused AND from wanting to seek out personally unsafe and unhealthy ways of getting their "needs" met.
There is a difference between a government oppressing people's freedom to practice their own religion and religious power groups seeking to impose their religion on non-religious people. A person who does not believe in religion - and many people do not - should not be subject to the religious beliefs of others. For instance, a woman who wishes to use artifical contraception should be able to obtain it. In a strictly religiously based system, a woman might not be able to obtain it if pressure from a church such as the Roman Catholic church, were brought to bear on local drug stores. As to the letterwriter's mention of the Bosnians, when Yugoslavia re-balkanized into religious based tribal states, those religious groups began to fight and kill each other and the slaughter was well documented. The fact is, under a FREE secular society, no one is ever surpressed from practicing his own faith in his own actions, he or she might simply be surpressed from imposing his or her own beliefs on another.
The people who walked through the "yes" door are people who want freedom of religion AND freedom from religion. It is as simple as that.
Dean Rubin states that Dan Maffei is not offering leadership regarding the president's healthcare bill. Dan Maffei voted for the bill and states now that it is a step in the right direction which is exactly what Dan Maffei said before. Dan Maffei provided MUCH leadership when he was in office and when alternatives were being debated by hosting panel discussions where constituents could hear the views and experience of people involved in health care locally. Our congressmen are supposed to represent our views. By providing information then Congressman Maffei assisted the electorate in forming opinions. Congresswoman Buerkle tells her constituency what she thinks and does not seem to solicit the views of those citizens she represents. Our differing branches of government and the different houses in the House of Representatives are supposed to function differently to provide full representation and checks and balances.
The Trayvon Martin story was significantly delayed for most readers. The NEWS of the Black Panther poster was delayed for most readers. Now, there is "moment to moment" coverage of the story and its context and sidebars. Who knows when Mr. Wright wrote his letter? We only know when it was published.
to Not a nice guy: the Black Panther wanted poster just came out. Trayon Martin was shot four weeks ago. Mr. Wright's letter may have been written prior to the "wanted" poster becoming news.
We have a quick news cycle - but it is not that quick.
Saltine warrior: E. Donald Wright's letter highlights the linkage between "in group" hostility and bullying and the victimization of "outgroups." In groups and those who want to be ingroups often further victimize victims by insulting them with terms such as "whiner" or "narcissist". When brave individuals such as Mr. Wright tell their stories in public, everyone has the opporunity to benefit and reflect. Be honest: the world is marked by violence against individuals who do not fit the stereotypical norms. In California, an Iraqi woman who wore headscarves was murdered in her home - she had received threatening a number of threatening notes. Christians in Iraq are persecuted by the increasingly militant Islamic majority. It depends who you are and where you are. who is "in" and who is "out". I thank Mr. Wright for his letter.
According to the article, the city pays 6k per employee per annum for health insurance. McClurg associates pays $4200. per annum per employee for individual health insurance and employees pay the rest. For those of us who now or in the future may need to purchase individual health insurance policies until we are eligible for Medicare, the cost can be $12000. to $14000. per annum. This disparity is because employers, municipalities and unions can negotiate in areas where individuals cannot. There should be a single payer plan or at least a public option. Read Your Medical Mind by Dr. Jerome Groopman or the Hypocratic Myth by Dr. Gerald Bloche. Finally, why does the federal government not allow individuals to carry FSA money over from year to year?
The Catholic Church is neither mentioned in P. Judge's letter nor my comment. If you are going to introduce Roman Catholicism here, I would suggest that the Catholic Church - which is the body of Christ and church hierarchy which is the political structure of the Vatican, are two different things. Jesus taught that we should love one another and I seriously doubt that Christ's spiritual message would include permission to call anyone a "slut."

Hurricane Alex Update #6
(This information is up-to-date as of 12 p.m. Central June 30, 2010, Further updates will be provided as needed.)
Shell concluded evacuations of our Central and Western Gulf of Mexico operations yesterday, bringing another approximately 30 personnel to shore. The total number of evacuated personnel is approximately 930. Remaining personnel offshore is 605 and current plans are to allow them to remain offshore because they are not in the projected path of the storm.
Given the evacuation of personnel and continued storm forecast, production has also been shut in from our South Texas operations.
We will continue to monitor this system closely and respond to further developments. We now begin planning the safe redeployment of personnel and production ramp-up.
The information on this site will be updated as necessary.
NOTES AND DISCLAIMERS: Shell-specific production shut-in numbers are not issued externally. You can contact the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) for overall Gulf of Mexico shut-in status, as of the previous day.

Cotton Jones
[Biology says: That people who live at high altitudes must develop physiological adaptations to the decreased amount of oxygen available in order to maintain homeostasis. The list of adaptations includes a heart that is proportionally larger than that of a person living at sea-level.]Michael Nau and Whitney McGraw have hearts - huge, questioning hearts - full of music that mixes elements of soul, rock and gospel into a gauzy cocoon of small-town sound.[It began as the Basket Ride, a few years ago, when the idea began to come to a head. Then, without intent, Cotton Jones became the core.]A new flexibility comes from a new name. These days Nau is making music very differently than he did in Page France. The original paranoia that haunted him has dropped off. "This feels like a new leaf to me. I've learned to let the music happen, rather than trying to invent something," says Nau, "I'm still sifting through some imaginary thesis, but it makes more sense now."The result of his personal revelation is Paranoid Cocoon: the debut full-length for Suicide Squeeze. It's an album full of quiet, wooden psychedelia that reflects the duos' casual pursuit of comfort and freedom under the mountains of Cumberland, Maryland, where creeks zigzag in the lonesome dark of the forest, and a red moon hangs overhead. These are songs of leaving, of dreams both good and bad, sung from surroundings they've known their whole lives. In "By Morning Light," Nau and McGraw's voices draw each other out of a contemplative melancholy and into a state of amazed gratification; the music here shimmers, always - the snare-drum cracks against the tug of the guitar - reaching the sublime crush of Yo La Tengo's "And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out." It's simple, understated perfection: they sound timeless from singing together forever. Shake me up, shake me up, shake me up, shake me up... I've gotta get to something new... Gotta move, gotta move, gotta move... gotta get on outta here...According to Nau, "There's no intentional theme behind these songs. Cocoon didn't span a lengthy duration of time, so head-space and moods tended to remain thread-like throughout. I believe there's a familiar mood from start to finish...the lyrics work like visuals of such moods." Listen at Last.fm
