I saw Atonement the second weekend that it was in theaters and it was amazing. I don't like Keira Knightley at all, like some people have posted, but I was really looking forward to seeing a great story with beautiful cinematography and I just decided to ignore Keira Knightley lol. I recommend this movie to anyone who is thinking about going. I am not interested in seeing the Golden Compass-- I don't think the storyline is interesting enough to pay so much money for and anyways, some of the ideals taught in Golden Compass concern me.

Last weekend we saw a sneak preview of The Golden Compass. My husband had read the book, I hadn't. I liked the movie, he didn't love it.

Word of advice... if you liked the book The Golden Compass there is a very big chance you will hate the movie... I did at least... it was terrible.

I read Atonement and the whole storyline made me MAD MAD MAD. It's just so sad and terrible. I don't know if I want to put myself through that again or if I really want to watch Keira Knightly having sex with James McAvoy against a bookcase...erm...James, maybe. ;) Golden Compass looks interesting, although I just read a review of it on EW.com and....not such a good review, after all.

Golden Compass! And the New Yorker already gave an entire summary in their review of Atonement, don't need to see the movie now :-P

I'm a bit more excited about Atonement, but I also really want to see The Golden Compass.

The His Dark Materials books are AMAZING (Golden Compass is the first of the three). THAT is what everyone should do this weekend if neither movie interests you. I'll definitely be seeing The Golden Compass, myself. I've also read Atonement and if they've screwed around with the ending (which is the whole POINT!), then it would make me bitter.

Atonement! I refuse to watch Golden Compass... Looks lame.

I must have had a very realistic dream awhile back because a few days ago I swore up and down that The Golden Compass had been released already and got horrible reviews. When I first saw a trailer for it, I thought it was because it was out on DVD. Might be crazy, but I'm going to believe my dream and avoid the movie. I'll definitely be seeing Atonement though.

PJ, armored bears are inherently cool, and an armored bear named "Iorek Byrnison"? Cooler than an ice queen's ice palace!

The Golden Compass is not really my type of movie, but ever since I read about it I've been wanting to go see it. It might be because Daniel Craig & Sam Elliot are in it, but I'm fascinated by the Ice Bear characters. I have no idea why!

I voted Atonement although I'm pretty sure I won't be seeing either films in the theatre. I am more excited for I am Legend, National Treasure 2 (yes, it's my guilty pleasure) and so many more that I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Seeing The Golden Compass this weekend, and I want to see Atonement, I loved the book, but I doubt that it'll be released here yet, so I'll probably have to wait till it comes out on dvd.

anything other than the golden compass- those books were so important to me growing up that i just can't bear to watch it onscreen with actors who aren't "right." i still refuse to watch harry potter too!

I actually think the idea of a single, unified, development environment like what you're after is somewhat antithetical to OS X design principles. One of the great things I've found, since switching to OS X for development work about a year ago, is that many OS X application developers share my own personal philosophy when it comes to software: do less, but ...
The current low level Mac Mini with an upgrade to 4GB memory is probably the best bang for your buck. That's what I have except with 8GB; got my memory from Amazon for $130, cheaper than Apple memory. It's a very capable machine.

To elaborate on @Martín's answer, a MacBook is perfectly fine for development, I use one myself and never had issues. But you could improve it.

If you are looking for Java development on the Mac, both NetBeans and Eclipse have a distribution for Mac OS X. Xcode also has support for Java, but it is not a Java-centric tool.
That depends on what your problems are with your mac and whether Linux solves them. Gotta give more detail than that, man.

A unix-ish package manager is clearly the way to go. I have moved from fink and Macports to homebrew, which has a recipe for cvs: brew install cvs For historical completeness, you formerly had to use the (slightly hard to find) recipe for cvs: brew install homebrew/dupes/cvs. After only very minimal testing, it seems to work.
Xcode 6 currently requires an active iOS or Mac Developer Program membership, available from developer.apple.com/programs, as Xcode 6 and Swift is not publicly available yet.

The easiest way for most programs is to install with a package manager like Macports, Homebrew or Fink.

Rest in peace. I think this obituary provides a public service in reminding people that the range of traffic accident injuries is a lot more complicated than just fatal or non-fatal.

David was a school mate from elementary to high school. We spent time together at summer camp and other activities. My thoughts got out to his family and friends. Be at peace, Dave.

Seeing David's picture brings back so many memories of high school and earlier days. He was full of fun and laughter with a kind and generous heart. I feel privileged to be able to say we were friends. To Margaret, Nancy and the rest of David's family, I am sorry.

I will always remember David as a kind, fun, generous of spirit and smart person. He was one of those with that certain sparkle about him. My deepest sympathy to the Pierce family. May you find comfort in knowing of the wonderful care that you provided for David, and that he is in the greatest care of all now. Rest in peace, David.

Styles Flamenco • Latin

He is available as a solist or duo for all manner of functions and events, being at home on the concert platform aswell as providing background accompaniment for all types of function. In addition to the mainly "instrumental" repertoire, the duo can be enlarged to a 3 or 4 piece band, adding songs to the set to create a lively performance suitable for all occasions.
Although there are no sound clips currently available, you can listen to him playing in his Latin Guitar Duo on this page: Spanish Guitar Duo Nottingham

The booking process was altogether relatively straightforward and any issues were resolved.
The gallery also felt the guitarist completely changed their event adding another dimension and atmosphere. They would love to have him back again when Fabian Perez next returns to the UK.
Thanks very much for all your help" Jess Lambert, Demontford Fine Art May 2013

Did you ever hear the analogy of the shoemaker with holes in
his shoes? ...or the dentist with bad teeth?
Too often professionals find themselves too busy taking care
of their businesses and their clients to look after themselves. This all-too-common
phenomenon hits almost every trainer at some point. Long hours, fatigue,
burnout, stress and lack of focus combine to create a situation where it
becomes really easy for your fitness levels to slip. When you are around fitness
and training all of the time, there are periods when the last thing you want to
do with your free time is work out.
I can say that after 20+ years in the industry, it has
happened to me on more than one occasion. It has taken some real focus, discipline
and planning for me to maintain my edge and actually remain a fitness role
model for my clients. The way that I've done this is to treat myself like
a client and design a plan for me that evolves and changes over time.
When we meet with a client, one of the first things that we
do is create a "Yearly Plan." It is an idea that we have adopted from
Juan Carlos Santana's Fundamentals training manual. I really
believe that this is THE most important part of a personal training plan and
will determine if someone is successful or not. It is the roadmap and the guide
that will influence every single workout that you do.
To make someone's (in this case, my) plan meaningful and
effective, we take a Yearly Planner and write in "peaking moments" on
the planner itself. In my case, the Warrior Dash race in July, hockey season in
October, beach holiday in November, mountain bike race in April and then the
next Warrior Dash in July again. The point is to create mini-periodization
plans so that it doesn't feel like you are on an endless treadmill getting you
To prepare for hockey season requires an entirely different
type of training and different nutrition than looking good on the beach! I look
at the length of each of the mini-plans and then break them down into training "phases."
As each plan will be of a different length, the phases will be anywhere between
two and four weeks in length. Knowing that any plan or program you are doing
will change in four weeks or less makes it much easier to stick with and to
really focus on a specific outcome.
The different phases that we use at All Canadian Fitness are
Conditioning, Strength, Hypertrophy, Endurance and Metabolic Training. These
words have become part of our language and make it simple to know what ANYONE
is working on at any time.
We all have to work out and eat right, and the Yearly Plan
and phase training has given me a valuable tool to prevent me from losing my
focus and then losing my fitness edge. Doing it myself has also given me the opportunity
to tweak things for our clients as I have found out what works best and what
just doesn't work.
If you don't look after YOU first, you cannot help your
clients. If you don't help THEM, you won't have a business and you will no
longer be an entrepreneur.

Flow Yoga Magazine (Flow) is a new yoga magazine dedicated to promoting Yoga. From yoga poses, sequences, teachers, anatomy, culture, music and lifestyle, all we do is yoga.

These are the people that seek publications such as Flow to explore the many different aspects of yoga.
Flow Yoga is a fusion of the many different facets of yoga. Flow Yoga Magazine represents this fusion in yoga. A flow yoga class is a unique experience, it blends a wide variety of different yoga poses, sequences, lineages, breath work, meditation, philosophies, and music. Flow Yoga Magazine will showcase this uniqueness. We intend to offer a diverse showcase of different yoga styles, methods, and philosophies. Flow is about helping people explore and find what works best for them in their practice, while inspiring a healthy lifestyle. Our mission is to capture the essence of Flow, while helping people create that Flow in their lives.

Magazine and Advertising Specs
Creating and designing ads can be an intimidating process. We can design your ad campaign to spec for $40 hour (most ads take 2-4 hours to complete).
Final Magazine Trim Size: 8.375 x 10.875
Perfect Bound
Artwork Submission:
-Documents and files provided from outside sources must be created to trim size.
-For bleeds, pull out a consistent 1/8" on three sides (head/face/foot).
-Live matter cannot be placed closer than 1/4″ to the trim edges.
-Additional "safety areas" are required on perfect bound jobs: the inside front cover/first text page, and the last text page/inside back cover (due to hinge cover).
-Files provided from outside sources (advertisers, etc.) must be placed into your template to ensure proper file size is submitted.
-Set offset to 0.125" (do not use the default of 0.80").
-Export single page (not grouped) PDF files.

The Environment
Our biggest focus as a magazine printer is honoring that from which we take. We intend to stay at the cutting edge of technology to minimize our impact on the environment and deliver the highest quality product to our readers. Media is changing and evolving at a rapid pace. Web used to support print and now we move toward print supporting web. As Flow moves into print, we look at doing so humbly, and in the most sustainable way. We're starting by using a minimum of 30% Post Consumer Recycled paper in the magazine. We will also be using soy based inks, and we have created a program with the Nature Conservancy to plant a tree for each tree we use. We're also looking into ways to purchase carbon credits to offset our energy usage on the website and during shipping of the magazine. These things matter and are very important to us.

Penguins 'best fit' for former Quinnipiac star goalie Eric Hartzell
Penguins/NHL Videos
A whirlwind weekend saw Eric Hartzell lead Quinnipiac to the NCAA national championship game, finish as a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award and be named a first-team All-American.
It would have been a perfect ending to his college career, if only the Bobcats had beaten Yale for the NCAA title Saturday night at Consol Energy Center.
That didn't stop Hartzell from celebrating Sunday, when he signed a one-year, entry-level contract for $925,000 with the Penguins.
"Pittsburgh turned out to be the best fit. It's not only the best fit but the greatest organization in hockey," said Hartzell, 23, of White Bear Lake, Minn. "I'm excited to be a part of that. You've got a bunch of great people on the staff. I see a great opportunity. Pittsburgh didn't guarantee me a thing, but they were very straightforward.
"Everything about Pittsburgh is amazing. The hospitality they showed all the teams at the Frozen Four was just unbelievable. That's an awesome thing for Pittsburgh. Consol is probably the best rink I've seen in my life, the best in the NHL. I fell in love with it."
The 6-foot-4, 187-pound goaltender was 30-7-5, with a 1.57 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage with five shutouts in 42 starts this season, leading the NCAA in minutes and earning ECAC Player of the Year and Ken Dryden Goaltender of the Year honors.
"Eric was our best player," Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said after the Bobcats lost to Yale, 4-0, in the NCAA final. "I think he was the best player in college hockey. I thought he was the most dominant player in college hockey, for what he did for us in taking Quinnipiac to the championship game."
Penguins general manager Ray Shero said Hartzell was the only college goaltender the club pursued, dating back to a February meeting with him at Quinnipiac.
"This is a culmination of an entire year of watching him and evaluating him. We were more than happy to sign him," Shero said. "He's got great size, obviously. He's got God-given size, nothing you can teach. He's improved his game every year. He certainly battles. You saw that in the championship game. He was the go-to guy for his team the entire year. He played every game. He's a guy we hope is getting better."
Shero said the Penguins have "no plans" to play Hartzell in goal this season, and because he was signed after the NHL trade deadline he isn't eligible for the Stanley Cup playoffs or to play for their Scranton/Wilkes-Barre affiliate in the AHL playoffs. Instead, Hartzell will have a chance to spend time around the team, much like goalie Brad Theissen did in 2009, when the Penguins won the Cup.
"He's going to be the third goalie, soak things up and be around the team," Shero said. "Having Eric here will be good for his development."
Hartzell, who is still finishing the final 15 credits toward his marketing degree at Quinnipiac, is expected to join the Penguins on Wednesday and is looking forward to watching and learning from his new teammates.
"I can be a little shy at first. I'm sure I'll be shy in Pittsburgh, around guys like Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin; being in the room with those guys is going to be incredible — I'm just excited to work for them," Hartzell said. "Whatever I'm asked to do, I'll do that, plus more."

Many of the products that engineers design experience cyclic stresses during use that are below the material's yield stress; unfortunately, these stresses can still be the primary reason for failure. Thus, engineers and designers must find ways of including the effects of cyclic stresses when designing products for long-term use.Read more ⇢

|Effect of Chronic Pretreatment of Angiotensin-Converting Receptor Blocker on No-Reflow Phenomenon in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22953997 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Aims: Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) exert favorable effects on the vascular system, which are not directly related to hypertension lowering function. The no-reflow phenomenon determines the prognosis in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Early ARB treatment has many beneficial effects on the prognosis after AMI. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that ARB treatment before admission would have beneficial effects on the development of the no-reflow phenomenon after infarction. Methods: We investigated 276 consecutive patients with AMI undergoing successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). No-reflow was defined as Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade <3, which was determined by the TIMI frame count method using angiographic images obtained just after PCI and stenting. Results: Compared with patients without ARB treatment, patients with ARB had more frequently hypertension and ST resolution (P<0.05 respectively), but no significant difference was found in the other clinical characteristics (age, sex, Hyperlipidaemia, Diabetes mellitus, etc) between the two groups. A total of 51 patients receiving chronic ARB treatment before admission have lower incidence of the no-reflow phenomenon than those without chronic ARB treatment (8.7% and 26.7%, P = 0.003). However, the incidence of the no-reflow phenomenon between the patients with and without hypertension had no significant difference. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that ARB pretreatment was a significant predictor of the no-reflow phenomenon, whereas blood pressure was found to be insignificant. Conclusion: Chronic pre-treatment of ARB is associated with the reduction of the no-reflow phenomenon in patients with reperfused AMI and could preserve microvascular integrity after AMI independent of blood pressure lowering, which may contribute to better functional recovery.

St. Croix Career and Technical Education Center issues 259 certificates
Published: June 16, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. CROIX - The St. Croix Career and Technical Education Center issued certificates of completion to 259 students Sunday during the center's 19th annual certification ceremony held at Educational Complex.
The students, 92 of whom were enrolled in the center's adult evening classes, finished coursework in a variety of career technical programs.
According to Principal Willard John, obtaining technical certification will give students an edge above non-certified counterparts. Assistant principal, Joseph Schrader agreed, saying that today's employers are in search of "skilled and schooled" candidates to fill open positions.
Jocelyn Velasquez, 18, who achieved first honors recognition, received a certificate in architectural drafting. Velasquez said she feels "excited" about her accomplishment.
"I am proud and just happy to be graduating and being certified in the course of architecture," she said.
However, the teen admitted that the coursework was challenging.
Velasquez praised her architecture instructor, Larry Francis, for providing the motivation she needed.
"It was something different," she said. "It was kind of difficult at first, but my teacher helped support us and taught us very well."
"He was very encouraging; he was always supportive," she said. "He helped us in any questions we needed."
Pedro Estien, 17, achieved second honors and received certification in business computer information systems.
Like Velasquez, Estien praised his instructor for helping him succeed.
"My teacher was very positive; he was very encouraging," Estien said. "He always helped us in anything we needed to do."
One of the evening's highlights was the keynote address from chef Digby Stridiron, a Career and Technical Education Center graduate who was recently named V.I. Culinary Ambassador by the V.I. Tourism Department and Chef of the Year by the Caribbean Tourism Organization.
In his passionate address to the graduates, Stridiron encouraged them to "take in the moment" and to "work hard for what you want."
In addition, Stridiron said students should dream big, but never forget the virtues of local culture and cuisine.
"Never let anyone hinder you from your potential, but always be proud of where you are from," he said.
And to help one youngster fulfill her dream of pursuing a career in the culinary arts, Stridiron awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Kaylisha Jarris, who will attend the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vt., this fall.
Velasquez's next stop is Drury University in Springfield, Mo., where she will study architecture in the fall. She received a dean's scholarship award from the university.
Estien will attend the University of the Virgin Islands to study computer information systems and eventually take advantage of the university's study abroad program. He has received grant and scholarship awards from the university.
In the center's evening program, Ann-Merrie Hendrickson and Laurie Samuel both achieved first honors, and received certification in commercial baking and cake decorating. Sasha Carr achieved second honors and received certification in cosmetology.

We dont say, No. We say, How?
George Davis, to the Every Child Advisory Committee
Typically, journalists just say No.
When it comes to involvement in public affairs, the easiest answer is the black-and-white approach: No.
In fact, our Principles for Ethical Conduct in Gannett (parent company of the News-Leader) specifically call for us to maintain independence:
We will remain free of outside interests, investments or business relationships that may compromise the credibility of our news report.
We will maintain an impartial, arms length relationship with anyone seeking to influence the news.
If only it were that easy. You see, our Principles also call for us to serve the public interest:
We will seek solutions as well as expose problems and wrongdoing in order to effect change for the good in the communities we serve.
We will provide editorial and community leadership.
At the fulcrum of our Every Child public service journalism project, we try to balance these competing ethical principles.
And as we proceed carefully, we seesaw a bit.
Our reporters and front-line editors sit on one end and assert their independence even as the executive editor and publisher exert leadership on the other end.
We try to do our best and try to be as transparent about it as we can so ultimately our readers and the community at large can judge what we have done.
This is what we promised at the launch of the Every Child project some 18 months ago:
To focus public attention on critical challenges facing children in our community.
To foster discussion among leaders and the general public.
To build on existing community initiatives and lead people to action.
We explained that we had invited a group of 20 (now 22) community leaders to help us with the project for a simple reason: While the newspaper can shine a light, it lacks the ability to act.
We asked the Advisory Committee to educate us and offer us advice as we researched key issues facing children. We asked it to work with us to explore alternatives and solutions, including potential policy changes and ways to address funding issues.
We believed the committee could help us engage all of the organizations and individuals with a stake in the future of our children and also to engage all of you.
But, we also noted that the group had no authority to do anything. (That has in part led to the announcement on todays front page of efforts to form a legitimate coalition to develop a comprehensive plan of action.)
And, from the outset, we did not promise anything to the Advisory Committee other than to listen. Our reporters and editors have made all of the final decisions about what topics to cover, how to cover them and what to publish. Likewise, our Editorial Board has retained control over the opinions stated in Our Voice on these pages.
Finally, all of our committee discussions are on the record, and we have reported on each meeting of the committee to let all of you know what the group is saying and proposing to do.
It has put the committee, as well as the News-Leader, in an unusual position.
But these are unusual circumstances.
As corporate and individual citizens, the News-Leader and its leaders are obligated to help this community move forward, to serve the greater good by addressing the critical issues facing our children.
We cannot just say: No.
We are forced to ask: How?

Then again, you could save yourself the trip (and a whole lot of lip fungus) simply by reading our list of the top 50 Irish sayings and proverbs. These colorful expressions are short and sweet and — unlike the Blarney Stone — they don't smell like Chapstick and Guinness.
1. May the luck of the Irish be with you!
2. If you want praise, die. If you want blame, marry.
3. Here's to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold pint and another one!
4. If you're enough lucky to be Irish... You're lucky enough!
5. May you have the hindsight to know where you've been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far.
6. A man may live after losing his life but not after losing his honour.
7. "All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed." - Sean O'Casey
8. You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your father was.
9. It is often that a person's mouth broke his nose.
10. It is better to spend money like there's no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there's no money!

|Expression of Angiotensin II Receptor-like 1 in the Placentas of Pregnancy-induced Hypertension.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22498939 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Angiotensin II receptor-like 1 (APJ), a G protein-coupled receptor that was identified as a homologue of angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, exerts antagonistic effects on AT1-mediated vasoconstriction. Studies on pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) revealed aberrant activation of AT1 downstream signaling. In contrast, little is known about APJ in the pathophysiology of human pregnancy. In this study, we investigated APJ expression in normal human and PIH placentas. mRNAs were extracted from 50 placental villous tissues of 18 cases with severe PIH (8 late-onset, 4 early-onset, and 6 superimposed PIH) and 32 control pregnancies (including 6 preterm cases). Histopathologic studies were conducted using paraffin-embedded placental tissues from 12 control placentas (from 23 to 39 wk) and 23 PIH placentas (from 24 to 41 wk). Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction showed that APJ was cooperatively expressed with its ligand apelin and AT1 in controls and in late-onset PIH placentas but was significantly downregulated in early-onset PIH placentas with poor fetal growth. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed upregulated APJ in late-onset PIH placentas but significantly downregulated APJ in early-onset PIH. In immunohistochemical staining, APJ was detected strongly in villous capillary endothelial cells and trophoblasts of late-onset PIH placentas. In contrast, APJ was poorly stained in endothelial cells of hypoplastic villi of early-onset PIH placentas. Collective data indicate that the apelin-APJ system is involved in fetoplacental circulation during human pregnancy. Impaired APJ expression in early-onset PIH placentas may reflect an aggravated placental condition with poor fetal growth.

Dear Rev. Graham: Our daughter is in her first year of college, and she announced over Thanksgiving that she's abandoned the Christian faith. She said Christians have always oppressed women and minorities, and she doesn't want anything to do with such a backward religion. Where did she get this? -- Mrs. J.K.
Rev. Graham: You might ask your daughter where she got these ideas, but I suspect they came from a professor who has a strong prejudice against the Christian faith. Sadly, although many of our great universities were founded on Christian principles, most today have rejected their Christian heritage, and in many cases have become aggressively secular.
Why do I say that someone who holds these views is prejudiced? The reason is because the charge that Christians have been responsible for oppressing women or minorities simply isn't true. Jesus was born into a world of oppression; over half the population of the Roman Empire were slaves, and women had very few rights or access to education.
But in time, all that changed -- because Christians took a stand for righteousness and justice. It took centuries, and in fairness, some who claimed to be followers of Jesus instead followed the ways of the unbelieving world. But Christians took seriously Jesus' command to love others as much as we love ourselves. The Bible says that in God's eyes, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28).
Pray for your daughter, and urge her to examine the claims of Christ with an open heart and mind. Let her know that you still love her -- and God loves her, too. In addition, talk with your pastor about ways your church can better prepare young people for the challenges they'll face in college or the workplace.

|Critical solution behavior of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) in ionic liquid-water mixtures.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23299223 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The wide diversity of room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) presents opportunities for studying, and controlling, polymer phase behavior. We have examined the phase behavior of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) in imidazolium ILs and their mixtures with water. We find there is a strong influence of the IL anion; specifically, the tetrafluoroborate anion yields a complex phase diagram with both LCST and UCST-type regimes. PNIPAM is generally miscible at intermediate IL-water compositions, although this range depends on the polymer molecular weight. Solvatochromatic characterization of both neat and mixed solvents reveals a key role for the interplay between PNIPAM-IL hydrogen-bonding and ion-pairing within the IL. These results demonstrate that appropriate selection of ILs should allow for increased control over polymer phase behavior.

ARAB, Ala. (AP) - Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert Bentley is attacking Democratic opponent Ron Sparks' plan to create a state lottery to pay for college scholarships. Bentley says it's not the government's job to pay for college education.
Sparks is criticizing Bentley's promise to work as governor
without pay until unemployment drops to normal levels. Sparks says he will take the $112,000 salary because, unlike his opponent, he's not a wealthy man.
The two squared off Thursday at a forum in Arab. It is one of several forums they are having before the election Nov. 2.

Flooded Stafford road currently being pumped
Posted: January 02, 2013|
A FLOODED major route through Stafford closed for more than a week is currently being cleared with tankers and pumps.
Staffordshire County Council closed the A51 at Weston on Christmas Eve and have kept it closed over the holiday period.
Diversions put in place around the blocked area will remain in place until the road is ready to reopen.
Resident Ken Pyatt, 88, said the closure had caused 'chaos and mayhem' in the area and expressed concerns that people were continuing to drive through the flood even though it was closed.
"It's absolute chaos," he said. "I did a survey of that road for the county council a few years ago and 15,000 vehicles use that road."
My Pyatt said motorists were ignoring the road closed signs and driving through the flood anyway.
"I haven't seen a policeman there since it closed," he said. "There should be someone there stopping people."
A spokesman for Staffordshire County Council said she expected the road to be reopened later today.

Economy: As of June, there are 7.5 million people who work at part-time jobs because they cannot find full-time work. Getty Images
- Filed Under
For years, Washington politicians have said that our economy is turning the corner. They said it in 2011, in 2013 and again last week -- every time they report a quarter with 4 percent economic growth. But each time, the economy has turned sluggish again.
Like most Americans, I am deeply concerned about our weak economic recovery and its effects on millions of families. Opportunity, especially for the young and disadvantaged, is declining. High underemployment has become our new norm.
The effects of underemployment are not just economic, they are also social and psychological. Real work is ...

I`m looking to buy a saddle from GW Crates, here is a link to the saddle:
15" G.W. CRATE LADIES WADE ROPING SADDLE CUSTOM HERMAN OAK FREE SHIP RANCH TRAIL | eBay
Just need some more opinions, on both your own experiences with this saddlery, and on this specific saddle. Hope anyone can help me decide wether or not to buy this one, or from GW Crates in general. I`m at a bit of a loss..
As for the saddle it looks great from my point of view, and just to specify, the saddle company makes custom saddles, but this specific one is in stock and ready to ship, so that means that what you see a picture of is what I actually would be getting. I think it looks well made, but I`m not that experinced I`ll see flaws just by a picture. The one thing I noticed is there seems to be a bulk from the stirrups just below the seat, that may be bothersome for my thighs. What do you think?
Also, what`s most important, other than it fits me, is that it fits the horse, and this is practically made for my horse.
I`ve been reeding reviews and forum posts regarding gw crates and riders choice, some are good, and some are bad and not satisfied at all. So I guess the odds of getting a good quality saddle is 50/50?
Here is a link from a review I found, which is pretty positive:
Riders Choice G.W Crates Master Series Wade Roper Saddle AR Buckle Roping Saddles Reviews @ Horse Tack Review
I could save up and get a saddle from a well known saddlery, but I really like the idea of a custom made, especially when it comes to finding a saddle that fits the horse. And since you get what you pay for, this one isnt really that cheap either, so the quality should be great, right? And its a wade!
Appreciate any help I can get, thanks!

While the calender still says January, it was almost like 'March Madness' Thursday night at Cisne, in the consolation bracket girls basketball game between West Richland/Clay City and Cisne, in the 2012 Midland Trail Conference Tournament, at Cisne.
The Lady Wildcats and Lady Lions battled it out end-line to end-line, tooth and nail, back and forth, and in the end needed an overtime to decide the final outcome. Finally, after 36 minutes, WR/CC came out on top 45-39.
"What a win," said Lady Wildcats Varsity Coach Mark Weiler. "We lost to them by four (points) on our court (Nov. 28). Didn't play very well in our second game of the year. We came down here with a little bit of a game-plan and for the most part stuck to it. And a win is a win."
Now, the Lady Wildcats play Webber Township for the consolation bracket championship, at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, at Cisne. WR/CC is 5-8 on the season, while Webber Township is 5-10, including a win over the Lady Cats on Dec. 5
"We lost to them (Webber Township) at their place in a game we felt we should have won," Weiler said. "We didn't execute or play very well down there. It's another chance so to speak."
Along with the intensity on the court between the teams, there was also some tense moments due to injuries. In the fourth quarter, Cisne's Brandae Gill, in a scramble for the ball, hit the floor hard. She was treated by EMT's and taken off the court on a stretcher and transported to the hospital.
"First and foremost our thought are with the Gill girl," Weiler said. "We pray that everything is going well with her, and for her family. It's an unfortunate thing."
Later, to open the overtime, after WR/CC won the OT tip, Amber Drewes drove in for a bucket, and was fouled. The Lady Cat freshman hit the floor, injuring her knee. After a few minutes, she was helped off the floor. Drewes was coming off an injury to the other knee.
"She's just recovering from a bruised meniscus and we just got her back this week," Weiler said. "She's a girl who goes hard and plays hard, it's just unfortunate."
Drewes score broke the 35-35 tie that forced overtime, and put WR/CC up 37-35. Two bonus free-throws by Whittney Reynolds followed, and the Lady Cats led 39-35 at 3:10 of the OT. Then, Kayelee Royse intercepted a Cisne pass in the backcourt and took it in for two, and WR/CC led 41-35 at 3:05.
WR/CC spread the floor and drew the foul, and Katie Royse hit 1-of-2 foul shots, giving the Lady Cats a 42-35 lead.
But Cisne crawled back into it via free-throws. Shae Bullard and and Katelyn Maloy combined to for four straight points on free-throws, making it a three-point game, with one minute to play.
However, in an attempt to get the ball back, Cisne was forced to foul.
Putting the Lady Cats at the line, Katie Royse pushed WR/CC's margin to 44-39 with two free-throws at the 30 second mark. Then, with just eight second left, Taylor set the final score and outcome, hitting 1-of-2 free-throws.
Hitting 4-of-7 free-throws and five shots from the floor, Taylor led West Richland/Clay City with 14 points.
Hali Paul led Cisne with 14 points, while Chynna Byers was also in double-figures with 10 points, before fouling out of the game at 3:03 of the fourth quarter.

Many faiths, one community
February 15, 2011
By Christopher Huber
Issaquah is a melting pot of major religions from across the globe
The loud rock music echoes from the concert-worthy stage as worshipers lift their hands and sing in the main auditorium. Greeters smile wide and shake hands as families filter in through the main entrance. While the adults find their seats for the service, their children shoot down colorful slides into the KidZone, a place of fun and adventure that takes up the whole downstairs.
This is a typical Sunday morning at Eastridge Church.
Like Eastridge, dozens of churches and places of worship contribute their own cultural and religious style and flavor to make up the fabric of faiths in Issaquah.
In addition to the evangelical Christian faith Eastridge attendees practice, Issaquah residents attend Christian churches of a variety of denominations, including St. Joseph Catholic Church and School. Many others keep their Jewish faith alive at the Chabad of the Central Cascades near the Issaquah Highlands.
Issaquah is also home to growing Hindu, Muslim and Baha'i contingents, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints plays a major role in numerous community service events and activities.
While some might have an idea of what people of other faiths believe, religious leaders provide some substance to an important aspect, for many, of life in Issaquah. They discuss what they believe and dispel some common misconceptions.
Eastridge Church is considered Evangelical, said lead pastor Steve Jamison. Evangelical Christians believe in salvation through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, he said. Evangelicals also believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God.
Jamison acknowledged differences between Catholic and Evangelical worship styles, but said they share the same underlying belief in Jesus Christ's divinity.
Approximately 2,000 to 2,200 people attend on a given weekend at the Issaquah campus of Eastridge, Jamison said. The church hosts concerts and large community events throughout the year and strives to be a solid place to raise a family, he said.
A misconception he said people might have is that Evangelical Christians are labeled as being against things. That's the opposite of what he said the message should be.
"The message of Christianity is a completely positive message. Through Christ, we have an amazing invitation to God to be forgiven," he said. "Sometimes it gets painted with a really broad brush. The greatest message … the message of Christ, is a message of hope for everybody."
Catholics believe in God's plan of creation and salvation, as revealed in both the Jewish scriptures (Old Testament) and the New Testament, said the Rev. Bryan Dolejsi, of St. Joseph Catholic Church and School.
It differs from Evangelical Christianity in that Catholics believe the Roman Catholic Church is the unbroken line from the apostles of Christ — the original church — he said. To Catholics, the Pope is a living representation of the apostles.
"The Pope is the Vicar of Christ," Dolejsi said.
St. Joseph originally opened as a mission, located near Flintoft's Funeral Home, in 1896, Dolejsi said. It now serves approximately 1,300 households and holds five masses each weekend, drawing about 1,500 people weekly. During the week, the church's school serves about 340 students, he said.
One misconception Dolejsi said some people have is that Catholics worship Mary. He said Catholics don't worship her, but simply hold her in high regard since she was the mother of Jesus.
"We honor and respect Mary, but we only worship God," Dolejsi said.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe in the one God-head, and have faith in Jesus, who atoned for sin, said Greg Mackay, president of the Bellevue stake, a group of 11 LDS congregations in Issaquah, Sammamish and Bellevue. And believers become more like Jesus by doing good works, he said. They believe in modern-day prophets and that the Book of Mormon and the Bible are both the word of God.
The LDS church is completely run by volunteers, Mackay said. Two locations serve the Mormon community in Issaquah — one along Southeast Duthie Hill Road and another on Sixth Avenue.
One common misconception people might have is that Mormons are not Christians, he said.
"We may be one of the most misunderstood religions in history," Mackay said. "We work pretty hard to help everybody understand that we are focused on Jesus Christ and the Christian faith."
The foundation of the Jewish faith is that they were God's chosen people, and that it was the religion from which all other monotheistic religions stemmed, said Rabbi Berry Farkash, head of Chabad of the Central Cascades, on Black Nugget Road. The Torah — made of the books Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy — is the central text of the Jewish faith.
Chabad of the Central Cascades serves hundreds of families from east Bellevue to North Bend and even Ellensburg, Farkash said. It is primarily an educational center for Jewish families unaffiliated with a synagogue. The center provides various youth classes and holds religious and cultural events throughout the year.
"We create the setting to give people the opportunity to reconnect to their origins," Farkash said.
One misconception Farkash addressed is that people think Judaism is exclusive. It's not, he said.
"We know that all (monotheistic) religions emanated from Judaism," he said. "It is a message for the entire mankind."
Muslims believe in the one, unique, incomparable and merciful God, who created and sustains the universe, according to the Sammamish Muslims Association. They believe in prophets — including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus — who brought God's revelations to the world, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.
Currently, practicing Muslims in Issaquah and Sammamish might attend prayers and services at the Islamic Center of Eastside in Bellevue. Others may attend various annual celebrations held at Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Sammamish. But soon, the Sammamish Mosque will open along Southeast 20th Street, according to Wassim Fayed, of Sammamish.
Those who believe in the foundation of Islam then seek to practice it through prayer, charity, fasting and the Haj — taking a journey to Mecca, if financially or physically able, in one's lifetime — Fayed said.
One misconception Fayed said people might have about Islam is related to the treatment of Muslim women. He said Muslim women are highly regarded.
"Islam teaches us that women are to be respected as … the building blocks of society," Fayed said.
Whether or not you understand the concepts of Hinduism, there's no denying its impact on suburban culture, and sometimes the traffic. One of the newest and largest Hindu temples in the state, the Vedic Cultural Center in Sammamish, draws thousands of followers during its religious celebrations and Indian cultural festivals throughout the year.
Devotees adorn the building inside and out with lights and vibrant flowers. Inside the temple during these events, worshipers — with the women and girls dressed in richly died saris — chant to Krishna while leaders and youths sing and play unceasing worship music. Some decorate the deities, placed on ornate wooden altars, while others enjoy the free Indian cuisine downstairs.
Those who follow the Krishna Consciousness — a Hindu tradition — believe in one supreme God (Krishna) who is the origin of everything in existence, said Harry Terhanian, the center's co-director. Love and devotion to the Lord is the goal of life by which a human attains the pinnacle of his or her potential, he said. Followers receive God's mercy through acts such as eating according to God's suggestions in scripture (the Bhagavad-Gita).
Towering above 228th Avenue Southeast in Sammamish, the Vedic Cultural Center is one of the most noticeable religious structures in the Issaquah area. Serving about 300 families in Sammamish and Issaquah, the center is home to more than just the temple for followers of the Krishna Consciousness. Its facilities and staff offer numerous weekly cultural and spiritual education programs, and also play host to a variety of grand festivals and celebrations annually.
Terhanian addressed a misconception that Hinduism is polytheistic: "God is eternally a person that possesses infinite and inconceivable powers."
The basic principal of the Baha'i faith is the unity of mankind, said Saba Mahanian, a longtime Issaquah resident and member of the local Baha'i Spiritual Assembly. According to the Baha'i faith, all religions have been progressively working throughout history toward a point of unity.
Baha'u'llah, whose name means "glory of God," founded the Baha'i faith in Persia in 1844. Baha'i is an independent, monotheistic religion and is based on Baha'u'llah's writings and teachings. It has more than five million adherents in 236 countries, according to the Baha'i U.S. office of communications.
Currently, the Issaquah Baha'i organization has about 25-30 members, Mahanian said.
"All religions are from the same divine source," he said. "There needs to be a progressive evolution of faith."
Working together
Many of the community religious leaders said they are seeking ways to work together and promote understanding and community involvement. Also, during the difficult economic times, Jamison said he has noticed more people coming to church or seeking spiritual growth.
"There's lot of great churches in this community," he said. "We feel like there's some real spiritual hunger being expressed."

Telus gets Treo Pro, Omnia
Canada's Telus is now offering the Palm Treo Pro smartphone, the handset maker announced on Monday, and has also recently added the Samsung Omnia handset to its lineup. The Treo Pro is being touted as an ideal handset for business professionals, as the 320x320 pixel touchscreen-and-QWERTY handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, has integrated Wi-Fi and 3G data network support through EVDO. Its keyboard has dedicated shortcut keys to the e-mail client and calendar.
There is also a button that turns on the 802.11b/g Wi-Fi connection, an integrated GPS sensor that works in conjunction with Telus' turn-by-turn Navigator service. The provider's visual voice mail is also part of the feature-set. Users can open ZIP files, edit Microsoft Word and Excel documents, as well as view PowerPoint presentations and PDF files.
The Telus Omnia has a 3.2-inch, 240x400-pixel touchscreen and no hardware keyboard, but adds a 5-megapixel camera with flash, face-detection, image stabilization and video capture capabilities. Its 8GB of built-in memory is complemented by an external microSD memory card slot. It also runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and other features are very similar to the Treo Pro, including Wi-Fi, an embedded GPS sensor and Office applications support. It also adds a TV output, FM radio tuner with RDS and Bluetooth 2.0.
The Palm Treo Pro's pricing via Telus ranges from $550 CAD ($444) contract-free to $150 CAD ($121) on a three-year term. The Samsung Omnia is priced at nearly $500CAD ($404) contract-free through Telus and drops to $130CAD ($105) with a minimum $40CAD ($32) voice, text and data plan to new customers on a three-year contract.
