Young people walked away from a popular video game console and large flat screen TV.
Similarly, a nearby ping-pong table gained little of their attention.
Even the enticing aroma of fresh-baked pizza on a Friday night did not distract the group of youth from listening intently to Abdur-Rahman Taleb as he discussed Islamic teachings on love.
Taleb, the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City's new youth director, said while activities like ping-pong and video games are fun aspects of the small-group gatherings he leads, Islamic studies will always be the key ingredient.
"I'm responsible for developing young people through programs that will nurture every aspect of their lives so that they will become members of society who strive for God consciousness, social justice and who will convey Islam with utmost clarity," Taleb said.
Several local Muslim leaders said Taleb's hiring is a sign of the times: the need for the youth director arose because of the growing metro Muslim population.
"This is the final brick in building the community," Adam Soltani, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Oklahoma chapter, said, noting that the Islamic Society now has an expanded mosque and a school complex. "The youth are the future and I think that's for any community — they want to hand the community over to young people at some point."
Imad Enchassi, the Islamic Society's imam and president, shared similar sentiments.
"Our community in Oklahoma City is growing, the American Muslim community is growing and so are the challenges of raising well-balanced citizens in our nation," Enchassi said.
Focusing on youths
Taleb, 24, said he was born and raised in Richardson, Texas. He said growing up he took part in MAS Youth, the Muslim American Society's thriving youth program that attracted Muslims from the large Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Taleb said much of the programming he is developing for Oklahoma City area youths is a smaller-scale version of The Dallas area programs he participated in. He said he also visited a youth director in San Diego, Calif., to get other ideas for programs and activities.
Taleb said Enchassi initially asked him to consider the youth director post in Oklahoma City. He said he visited Oklahoma City in September 2012 and presented an Islamic sermon first at the society's Islamic school called Mercy School, 14001 N Harvey, and later at the society's mosque, 3815 N St. Clair. He said he was hired shortly afterward and his official start date was Nov. 1.
Taleb said he is responsible for an after-school youth program at Mercy School which includes tutoring and homework help as well as recreational activities like foosball, video games and basketball in the new youth center at the school complex. Taleb said another program gaining in popularity is Friday Night Lights, a weekly youth program that has been attracting between 40 and 50 young people each week.

I have a php script which send email using the email addresses stored in mySQL DB. But Since my website host limit the number of emails sent to 15 / minute, I need to include some kind of delay. Which means, the emailing system shouldn't send more than 15 emails/ minute. Is there a way to do that.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Miscarriage Overview
A miscarriage (also termed spontaneous abortion) is any pregnancy that spontaneously ends before the fetus can survive. Any vaginal bleeding, other than spotting, during early pregnancy is considered a threatened miscarriage. Vaginal bleeding is very common in early pregnancy. About one out of every four pregnant women has some bleeding during the first few months. About half of these women stop bleeding and complete a normal pregnancy.
A miscarriage occurs when a pregnancy ends without obvious cause before the fetus is capable of survival, typically corresponding to the 20th week. This time is measured from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. Miscarriage is a common complication of pregnancy. It can occur in up to 20% of all recognized pregnancies. This ending of pregnancy is called a spontaneous abortion. In the medical field, the term abortion is often used to describe a miscarriage.
Miscarriage Causes
Miscarriage is caused by the separation of the fetus and placenta from the uterine wall. Although the actual cause of the miscarriage is frequently unclear, the most common reasons include the following:

28 U.S. Code § 1912 - Damages and costs on affirmance
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 954.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 878, andsection 1141(c)(4) of title 26 U.S.C., 1940 ed., Internal Revenue Code (R.S. § 1010; Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, §§ 117, 289,36 Stat. 1131, 1167; Feb. 10, 1939, ch. 2, § 1141(c)(4),53 Stat. 165).
Section consolidates section 878 of title 28 with section 1141(c)(4) of title 26, both U.S.C., 1940 ed., with changes in phraseology necessary to effect consolidation.
Words "prevailing party" were substituted for "the respondents in error," contained in said section 878 of title 28, since writs of error have been abolished.
Senate Revision Amendment
By Senate amendment, all provisions relating to the Tax Court were eliminated. Therefore, section 1141(c)(4) of Title 26, U.S.C., Internal Revenue Code, was not one of the sources of this section as finally enacted. However, no change in the text of this section was necessary.

LITTLE VALLEY, NY - A former Southern Tier science teacher is headed to jail for the next six months for sending inappropriate texts to an underage girl.
That was the sentence handed down Tuesday by State Supreme Court Judge William Boller to 39-year-old Shane Riethmiller on charges of disseminating indecent material to minors and third-degree sexual abuse.
Police say the Dunkirk man, who taught at Salamanca High School, sent and received nude pictures from the girl over a period of three months back in 2011.
Riethmiller will spend five years on probation after he gets out of jail and was required to surrender his teaching certificate as a condition of his plea.

Shippensburg University's MEd in Special Education has been designed to conform to the Special Education Standards of the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and to the standards and regulations for graduate education at Shippensburg University, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), and the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC). Ship's Special Education programs are now nationally recognized by NCATE/CAEP (Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation).
The Special Education program is designed to reflect the current knowledge base, including existing and envisioned practices in educational institutions, and clearly delineated models. Curricular coherence is strengthened through faculty study and dialogues on purpose, course content, and intended student-learning outcomes. The program also uses procedures and problem-solving techniques indicative of the reflective educator model.
The purpose of the program is to equip special education teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to instruct students from several categorical areas:
Graduates of the Special Education program will possess the necessary skills to provide instruction to students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. Students' learning will reflect:
Specifically, students will be equipped with knowledge about characteristics of children and adolescents with mild/moderate/severe learning disabilities intellectual disabilities/autism, and emotional/behavior disorders, and methods and strategies appropriate for instruction in the least restrictive environment regardless of the exceptionality category.
Our PA master's in special education program combines theory, research and experience. This helps mold students into well-prepared teachers who can meet the needs of 21st-century learners.
Students who pursue a master's in special education have a diverse range of interests. Our program gives students the opportunity to specialize in a specific area. Faculty focus on detailed, individualized curriculum. Each track's curriculum better prepares students for a future special education career.
The Master of Education in Special Education degree has four tracks. One can earn comprehensive certification in special education while earning the master of education degree in PA. Alternatively, someone holding special education certification or other educational certifications can pursue work in the specialty areas of behavior disorders, learning disabilities, or intellectual and developmental disabilities without certification.
The department offers the following graduate degree specializations in special education:
The master's degree with certification requires a minimum of 33 credits of course work plus 9 credits of student teaching. It is designed for individuals who already hold either a Pennsylvania elementary (K-6, PreK-4), middle (4-8), secondary (7-12), or reading specialist (K-12) teaching certification. Applicants interested in special education certification must present transcripts that demonstrate the following courses or their equivalents have been taken at an undergraduate or graduate level:
Additionally, applicants must hold a current Pennsylvania teaching certificate prior to applying for the special education certification. Applicants from other states must obtain a Pennsylvania certificate prior to applying for special education certification from PDE. The following certifications are approved as prerequisite teaching credentials for the special education certificates:
The master's degree without certification requires a minimum of 33 credits. This program is primarily for teachers who already hold special education certification or for regular education teachers who wish to develop skills for working with students who have disabilities who are in the general classroom. The special education master's degree without certification provides flexibility in tailoring a graduate program based on the past learning experience of the student as well as his or her future personal and professional goals.
Applicants for admission to any area of specialization in the Special Education program must meet the specific requirements for the area of specialization in addition to the
general requirements for admission to graduate study including:
Each applicant will be required to:
Students are encouraged to begin this process six months before they begin classes.
Students will be provisionally approved until they provide evidence that the following are on file with the Office of Field Studies:
For Students Seeking a 7-12 Certification:
Shippensburg University has been educating public and private school teachers for more than 120 years; thus, teacher education is part of the very fabric of the university. A number of specialized curriculum laboratories are located on campus. A Curriculum Materials Center provides a wide range of teaching resources for the master's in special education program:
A Reading Center provides materials for teaching reading and language arts. Departmental and university microcomputers have curriculum software for various areas of study. Two student computer labs are located in Shippen Hall. One is reserved exclusively for graduate students.
On campus, the university maintains the
Grace B. Luhrs University Elementary School, one of the finest demonstration laboratories in the country. The school serves a heterogeneous group of children from preschool through fifth grade.
Additionally, the university network of educational facilities includes schools accommodating students with special circumstances such as those for the migrant workers community.
The Special Education faculty at Shippensburg University are highly sensitive to the impact of cultural diversity on the growth and development of children. While these factors are important in the development of curriculum in any educational program, they are especially critical in the educational planning for students with disabilities.
The curriculum consistently demands the critical examination by students of the assumptions, both implicit and explicit, made in the selection and use of measurement instruments and instructional procedures and materials for any particular child. The Shippensburg faculty continuously adjust the special education master's degree curriculum to meet the needs of 21st century students.

Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregonby Chuck Palahniuk
Staff Pick
Not your typical hotel-gift-shop guidebook, Fugitives and Refugees makes no pretense at objectivity. This is a decidedly idiosyncratic and personal book. Palahniuk's Portland is eccentric, dysfunctional, and perverse. If you're new to Palahniuk's work, this book may win you over.
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
"Fugitives and Refugees is more than a book about the weird people and dark corners of Portland. Tucked surreptitiously between chapters are eleven 'postcards,' which, cobbled together, make up a sort of memoir of Palahniuk's years in his adopted city. Told in Palahniuk's signature voice — a blend of nihilism, pathos, and biting wit — these stories make the book. Most readers will never drive out to Newberg to the self-cleaning house, or get groped in the Shanghai tunnels. But any reader with an ear for a well-turned anecdote will appreciate these dark, funny, poignant stories of life on the fringe. A few may even discover that the world outside their Outback windows is a bit more fascinating, and less predicatable, than they'd realized." Chris Farley, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)
Publisher Comments:
Want to know where Chuck Palahniuks tonsils currently reside?
Been looking for a naked mannequin to hide in your kitchen cabinets?
Curious about Chucks debut in an MTV music video?
What goes on at the Scum Center?
How do you get to the Apocalypse Café?
In the closest thing he may ever write to an autobiography, Chuck Palahniuk provides answers to all these questions and more as he takes you through the streets, sewers, and local haunts of Portland, Oregon. According to Katherine Dunn, author of the cult classic Geek Love, Portland is the home of Americas "fugitives and refugees." Get to know these folks, the "most cracked of the crackpots," as Palahniuk calls them, and come along with him on an adventure through the parts of Portland you might not otherwise believe actually exist. No other travel guide will give you this kind of access to "a little history, a little legend, and a lot of friendly, sincere, fascinating people who maybe shouldve kept their mouths shut."
Here are strange personal museums, weird annual events, and ghost stories. Tour the tunnels under downtown Portland. Visit swingers sex clubs, gay and straight. See Frances Gabes famous 1940s Self-Cleaning House. Look into strange local customs like the I-Tit-a-Rod Race and the Santa Rampage. Learn how to talk like a local in a quick vocabulary lesson. Get to know, I mean really get to know, the animals at the Portland zoo.
Oh, the list goes on and on.
"Written as much for first-time visitors as for those who already share Palahniuk's passion for the city....Palahniuk's fondness for his not-so-sleepy hamlet comes through in each gritty detail..." Publishers Weekly
"For Palahniuk, the more acute the angle the better, but his is another solid entry in the Crown Journey series, with its premium on deep-dish subjectivity." Kirkus Reviews
"Fugitives feels like a guide to Portland, but one written by and for a Portland resident....You can't go wrong by picking up a copy yourself, and joining...in the search for the minutia of Palahniuk's Portland." Erik Henriksen, The Portland Mercury
Book News Annotation:
The author of the best-selling novel Fight Club reveals his favorite Portland, Oregon landmarks in this autobiographical travel guide that describes the City of Roses as "the home of America's fugitives and refugees." Covering a bit of culture and a bit of history, the guide begins with a Portland vocabulary lesson and then offers descriptive listings of selected restaurants (with key recipes), architecture, museums, swingers' sex clubs (gay and straight), events, transportation, shopping, and photo opportunities, along with wry commentary from the author. The guide does not include maps, photographs, or an index. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Kicking off with an introduction featuring Katherine Dunn, author of the bestselling classic Geek Love, and her theory that Portland is highly attractive to America's "fugitives and refugees" — or as Palahniuk sums it up, the "most cracked of the crackpots" — this journey showcases "a little history, a little legend, and a lot of friendly, sincere, fascinating people who maybe should've kept their mouths shut."
Here are strange personal museums, weird annual events, and ghost stories. Tour the tunnels under downtown Portland, used in the 1800s for shanghaiing sailors and smoking opium. Visit swingers, sex clubs, gay and straight. See Francis Gabe's famous 1940s "Self-Cleaning House." Look into strange local customs like the I-tit-a-rod race and the Santa Rampage Oh, the list goes on and on. Readers will also be treated to some of Palahniuk's most humiliating personal Portland moments, making this a must-read for every one of his loyal fans, as well as anyone looking for cheap thrills in the Pacific Northwest.
About the Author
Chuck Palahniuk is the author of six novels, including the bestsellers Fight Club, Choke, and Lullaby. His latest novel is Diary. For more information, visit www.chuckpalahniuk.net.

Spaghetti alla Marinara
A marinara sauce is a simple tomato based sauce that has many uses. At its base, a marinara sauce is tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. My favorite marinara sauce also includes a nice selection of vegetables including onions, carrots and celery. Using the recipe as follows will provide you with a nice chunky sauce but sometimes I want a smoother sauce and it is easy enough to puree it a bit in a food processor to get the consistency that I want. This is a sauce that I like to play around with and I try out different things each time that I make it. Some things that I have found that work really well are adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a cup of wine. Simmering the sauce with the rind from parmigiano reggiano also adds a ton of flavour so I always freeze the rinds for use in sauces later on. During the late summer when tomatoes are at their peak I will use either fresh tomatoes or better yet, oven roasted tomatoes for even more flavour. Because marinara sauce is so useful in other recipes I often like to double this recipe and freeze the extras for later.
Marinara Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 stalk celery (chopped)
- 1 carrot (peeled and chopped)
- 1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon oregano (optional)
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
- 1 parmigiano reggiano rind (optional)
- 1 tablespoon basil (chopped, optional)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, optional)
- Heat the oil in a pan.
- Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add celery, carrots, salt and pepper and saute until the vegetables are soft (about 10 minutes).
- Add the tomatoes, oregano, bay leaf, salt and pepper, wine, balsamic vinegar and parmigiano reggiano rind and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens (about 30-60 minutes).
- Stir in the basil and parsley and turn off the heat.

Germany and Norway call for information on PFOA and related substances
March 6, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
The German and Norwegian authorities are working on a restriction proposal for perfluorooactanoic acid (PFOA) and PFOA-related substances and have launched a call for information, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA; Helsinki) has announced. Related substances include precursors that can be degraded to PFOA. The following substances are foreseen to be covered by the restriction proposal: perfluorooactanoic acid, any other linear- or branched perfluoroheptyl derivative, and any linear- or branched perfluorooctyl derivatives. The authorities wish to identify the...

For most high school baseball players, the American Legion season offers a chance to work on their skills for the next varsity campaign or to get ready to begin playing at the collegiate level.
But for Norwood-Norfolks Cody Smith it is providing him one last chance to play competitively a sport he loves.
Smith, a senior, will play for the Norfolk Rovers until early August when he leaves to join the U.S. Marine Corps.
I figured that would be a good option if I didnt want to go to college, Smith said. Right now, Im going in for infantry, but hoping after a few years, I can change out and try and do something else.
Smith hopes to be able to use his athletic skills during the rigourous basic training.
He was the Times All-North Northern Athletic Conference All-North Most Valuable Player this season.
That should help a little bit and give me a head start at least, Smith said. I suppose its going to be hard to adjust to training every day and tons of stuff you have to get used to. I hope I feel proud coming out of (basic training). It will feel good to be one of the people who have.
Said Flyers coach Don Peterson, I expect nothing but good things for Cody. Hes matured so much as a young man.
Hes got some very good priorities and has a very good family to support him, Peterson added. I think hell do just fine. He sets goals and he strives to achieve those goals.
Smith spent the spring leading the Flyers to a 15-3 overall record, an Northern Athletic Conference East Division championship and a Section 10 Class C championship.
He was the teams top pitcher with a 6-2 record and a 1.89 earned-run average. He struck out 65 and batted .475 with three home runs and 25 RBIs. He was given the Jim Pinkerton Award, which goes to Section 10s top overall player.
I was happy of course and proud of him as his coach, Peterson said. Hes worked hard. I put in his mind at the end of last year that he could be the (East Division) MVP his senior year, and I think he had that goal in his mind as well. Once he sets his mind to things, often times he achieves them.
I think his decision to go into the Marines, which was made early this school year, was a big part of his ability to grow and mature as a person and be able to control his emotions, to be available to do well and not take himself out of situations, Peterson added.
We had several younger players that got quite a bit of time and they saw Cody as an example and role model of how to play the game of baseball and how to be a leader. They wanted to do their best so they didnt let the seniors down at any time of the season.
Not only did the Flyers dominate the East Division, finishing with a 13-1 record, they also beat some larger schools this season, including Massena and Potsdam.
I thought it was pretty cool, Smith said. I dont think wed ever beaten Massena until this year. I expected to make it to states. I was hoping we could make it to the (state) final four. We didnt go as far as I expected.
Said Peterson, He put the team first before himself in every situation we had this year and he made himself available to the team to do whatever it took to win. He loves the game of baseball and hes been playing it since he was young. He worked out and he was in the (batting) cage working on his mechanics. He didnt just come to practice and play, he played throughout the entire year and worked out things constantly.
Because Smith is not going to college, this summer with the Rovers will mark the end of competitive baseball.
Its not really sad or depressing, Smith said. I had a good time while I was playing. I didnt think Id go too far with it, and I was glad to be able to play while I was here.

Notice the "Ventura College Approved Publicity" stamp in the left corner of this Durango 95 flier.
The members of Durango 95 started off as a band called the Strangers, according to frontman Frank Barajas. "We played at Andy's Barbeque Heaven," he says. "Those were our first steady gigs."
Durango 95 opened up for The Bodeans at this all-ages Ventura Theater show.
This photo appeared on the cover of Durango 95's 1986 album "Dreams and Trains." Pictured (from left) are Russell Anguiano (bass, vocals), Frank Barajas (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Matt Muldoon (lead guitar) and Chuck Herrera (drums).
World leaders throwing baseballs? Must be a Durango 95 concert flier.
A far cry from Durango 95's usually wacky style of flier design, this one — advertising a pair of Winter Dance Party concerts — seems almost reflective.
Durango 95 played the venerable Ventura Theater before it reached Majestic status.
This lime-green flier advertises Durango 95's monthlong residency at Charlie's.
Long before there was the Geico gecko, there was the band Art Gecko — and Durango 95 performed with them at the Ventura Theater.
Durango 95 had a busy September schedule by the looks of this flier.
Elvis and James Brown both got face time on this Durango 95 flier.
Richard Nixon and Elvis Presley — no strangers to Durango 95 fliers — share a shake in the White House on this Charlie's advertisement.
No, this isn't a flier for Durango 95's 2012 reunion. This one's vintage, from back in the Charlie's days.
Even egg heads like Durango 95.

I know this post is a bit overdue but I have been busy painting the walls in the kitchen. We still have to finish the red wall, and then another yellow wall and also all the trim and a door and all the cabinets! Yikes. We aren't even near being done. Breathe in, breathe out. No need for me to get in a tizzy. Anyway, because of all that painting and other life events, I totally forgot to write about the festival we went to two weekends ago. I present to you my experience of the Italian American Summer Festival in Berea, Ohio for 2010.
Here I am with a couple of the greeters/ticket takers. Don't you just love that hat? I didn't catch their names but I'm going to remember them as Angelo and Luigi!
First we parked at the wrong gate/parking lot and found we had a long walk to the actual entrance at the fairgrounds. But a nice gentleman in a golf cart picked us up and drove us over to the ticket booth/entrance. That was nice since it was about 90 degrees, sunny and humid as all get out. Goodness, it was so hot that we were not even that hungry. But the first thing we enjoyed was some wonderful gelato! We found a big tent to sit in the shade and enjoy this yummy treat.
Next we walked around to all the booths and food vendors to see what was there. I am going to be honest and say that I was disappointed. There were many commercial booths for home improvement, cable tv and the like. I did not expect to be "hawked" at by these folks and found it kind of rude. I know they are there for sales but really, how many times can I get new gutters or waterproof my basement? Does that bother anyone else when they go to fairs or festivals?
We looked at the schedule and found out the pasta eating contest was coming up at 6 PM. We decided to stick around for that event and then maybe leave afterwards. The crowd was small at this point so I wondered if anyone was going to show up. Back to the booths, we found two booths for Italian-American clubs, a few jewelry sellers, a t-shirt vendor selling all kinds of shirt with Italian sayings on them, some political booths and more gutter sellers. As for the food, the choices were more varied. We found a seafood booth, a sausage booth, someone selling Stromboli and pizza, a kettle corn seller, cold drinks, a beer/wine trailer, and of course elephant ears were being sold. Most of that is not Italian food! But then we did stumble upon Bruno's, which is a local restaurant and they had some great food there. We ended up getting our dinner from them. They were only one of a handful of local restaurants or stores who actually came to sell their food there. Another was Rito's Bakery and Deli where we bought a cannoli for my son and some biscotti to bring home.
Here I am with my food from Bruno's.
What you see is sausage stuffed banana peppers and eggplant lasagna, both of which were so yummy! My husband got the same thing. Here he is in his Oktoberfest beer t-shirt at the ITALIAN AMERICAN festival! Caleb is behind him looking very hot and sweaty.
I love him even if he wore that shirt! He loves my cooking and would not trade me in for anything, or so he says. I think I'll keep him. He is rather hott on his Harley! (If you are reading this honey, don't be mad! lol)
We did find that the Italians do in fact make beer and not just wine. They were selling Moretti beer, imported from Italy. It was really good! Of course the very next day Phil found out they sold this beer at our local store and brought home a six-pack. What a guy!
When it was getting close to 6 PM we decided to move up closer to where they were doing the pasta eating contest and it was a good thing we moved when we did. By 5:45 PM the place was filling up quickly. We learned that the current champ had won 3 years in a row and they told him if he won again, please don't enter next year! lol… His son also entered this year as well as a few women. One guy who was named Angelo for real, entered and he was just itching to get eating that plate of pasta. The contestants were not allowed to use their hands, just their mouths. They had to take breaks every 30 seconds when time was called. Well before the first break was even called, Jim won, again! They even gave him more pasta than the rest! Angelo was a close second place. Here are a few pictures of the contest. Oh yeah, Jim is Polish!!!
The emcees who were personalities from a local news channel and a short Italian guy who also comes from the Molise region like my family.
Jim is on the far left, Angelo is in the orange tank top. He skipped the protective poncho! lol…
One of the women contestants along with a few first time entrants.
Jim was presented with his award and a gift basket. It was a fun contest even if it was short. They also had a cornhole tournament going on that day. I guess later in the evening they had more music and maybe fireworks but we were so hot we left by 7 PM.
Like I said, I was somewhat disappointed because I expected more Italian experiences. They did offer grape stomping on Sunday so they did try. I figured after doing this for 10 years there would be more. I think if there were food demos or more interactive things going on there might have been a bigger crowd. At least there weren't any carnival rides! There was that rock wall and a bounce house for the kids but nothing else. I am not sure I am going to go again. I wish they had offered more.
