Keston Center for Religion, Politics, and Society
In the winter of 1959, Canon Michael Bourdeaux received a handwritten note from a group of believers in the Soviet Union asking for help. After receiving this note from Prof. Nicholas Zernov, the young seminary graduate set out for the USSR to learn of the atrocities being committed against the church and, if nothing else, to document its destruction. After meeting the very women who penned the letter, Michael Bourdeaux took up their call to "be our voice," and thus began what would evolve into the Keston Institute.
Officially formed in 1969, at its height the Keston Institute was a vibrant part of the Oxford community and employed a large staff of researchers, published its own journal (Religion in Communist Lands, later renamed Religion, State, and Society), and was also involved in publishing many books that documented the fight for religious freedom by believers living behind the Iron Curtain.
The core of Keston's operations was its vast library and unique archive. In the words of Keston Institute Chairman Xenia Dennen, "The archive contains many examples of heroism, texts which will one day become spiritual classics. By collecting material on all religions and Christian denominations during the communist period, Keston created a source of exceptional value for all those who recognize the importance of the 20th century religious witnesses in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union: they defended freedom of mind and spirit in the face of a political system which claimed total control over all aspects of human life. They and their message must not be forgotten."
In 2007, the Keston Institute passed on the care of its archive and library to the newly-formed Keston Center for Religion, Politics, and Society at Baylor University. As part of the Baylor University Libraries' Special Collections, the Keston Center works with the Keston Institute in Oxford in carrying out its mission:
To promote research and encourage the study of religion in communist, post-communist, and other totalitarian societies and the relationship between religion and Marxism.
The Keston Center for Religion, Politics, and Society has joined with the Keston Institute to achieve its mission and is committed to the preservation and utilization of the library and archive. The Center seeks to promote the research, teaching, and understanding of religion and politics in communist, post-communist, and other totalitarian societies.
The Keston Center is located on the 3rd floor of Carroll Library, Room 316. Normal hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm although the Center encourages researchers to make appointments. Call 254-710-4647/4405 or email Keston Center Archivist Larisa Seago to schedule a visit.

Rail traffic showed shows annual gains for week ending June 3, says AAR
June 10, 2011
After a few weeks of uneven volumes, rail traffic showed positive growth for the week ending June 3, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Carload volume—at 273,584—was up 1.1 percent annually, but behind the week ending May 28 at 288,049 and the weeks ending May 21 and May 14 at 295,148 and 294,271l, respectively. It was also behind the week ending April 2, which hit 305,905 carloads, marking the highest weekly carload tally since the end of 2008.
Carload volume was up 1.9 percent in the East and up 0.6 percent out West. Carloads on a year-to-date basis are at 6,384,231 for a 3.1 percent annual increase.
Intermodal volume—at 205,565 trailers and containers was up 7.2 percent over last year. This was behind the last two weeks at 234,668 and 234,235, respectively. Intermodal continues to make strides on the domestic side due to fuel price pressure and its ability to provide service comparable to truckload at a more favorable rate, say shippers and analyst.
Of the 20 commodity groups tracked by the AAR, 15 were up annually. Grain was up 17.4 percent, and iron and steel scrap were up 18.7 percent. Primary forest products were down 15.2 percent.
Estimated ton-miles for the week were 30.4 billion for a 2.4 percent annual increase, and on a year-to-date basis, the 714.6 billion ton-miles recorded were up 4.2 percent.

Ever since Gutenberg invented the printing press which enabled everyone to read books, artists have tried to portray the relationship of a reader and his/her book.
Garrett Stewart's book, The Look of Reading: Book, Painting, Text, explores the relationship of reading and art.
We are familiar with words describing images, but not so familiar with images describing words and the impact reading has on our lives.
Artists from Rembrandt to Picasso have explored the interaction of people with their books.
Everywhere I go in the world, I see young and old, rich and poor, reading books. Whether readers are engaged in the sacred or the secular, they are, for a time, transported to another world.
Reading a good book is a universal activity, and people read while they do just about everything else.
Susan Sontag said, "The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality…" The same can be said for reading books
"When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." — Erasmus

Deacs Beat Navy and Advance to NCAA Third Round
Nov. 24, 2013
Final Stats | Quotes | Photo Gallery | Final Stats (PDF)
By Steven Wright, Wake Forest Athletic Communications (@WakeMSoccer)
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Ricky Greensfelder scored his first-career goal in the 54th minute and it proved to be the game winner, as 14th-seeded Wake Forest defeated Navy 2-1 in the Second Round of the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship on Sunday night at Spry Stadium.
The Demon Deacons are now 10-5-5 on the year and will advance to the Third Round for the first time since 2009 and the eighth time in school history. Wake Forest is now 21-13-3 all-time in the NCAA Championship and 20-9-3 under head coach Jay Vidovich.
The Deacs will travel to play No. 3-seed Notre Dame next Sunday in the Third Round. The Fighting Irish defeated Wisconsin 4-0.
Navy had their 15-game win streak snapped with the loss and end the year with a 16-4-2 record. This was the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
Not only did Greensfelder score his first-career goal in the game, but he also dished out an assist on Wake Forest's first goal for his first-career three-point game. Sean Okoli was the recipient on the first score, as he tallied his team-leading ninth goal of the season.
Michael Gamble, Luca Gimenez and Chris Duvall also picked up assists on the night, while Andrew Harris needed to make just one huge save to earn the victory.
Nav's Nick Dubee had a chance in the 21st minute after he maneuvered around a Wake Forest defender on the left side. His strike was powerful and on frame, but Harris was able to make the great diving save toward the near post and keep the score at 0-0.
Not long after, Okoli put Wake Forest on top for the first time in the 27th minute. Gamble played Greensfelder through on the left side, and Greensfelder played a beautiful cross to Okoli who just needed to tap the ball into an empty net for the goal.
The Midshipmen struck back quickly, when Jamie Dubyoski got behind the defense and blasted a shot from distance into the back of the net just 4:41 after Okoli scored.
Each team had a chance in the first few minutes of the second half, but they were both turned away. Gamble had a shot saved for the Deacs, and Dubyoski was called offside instead of being able to take an open shot all in the first three minutes.
Greensfelder then provided the game winner in the 54th minute for the Demon Deacons. This time, Gimenez played Duvall through on the right side, and Duvall's cross was met by a left-footed strike from Greensfelder into the net.
Navy pressed forward and had a few chances at the end of the game, but the Deacon defense held strong and did not allow a shot on goal.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - The OVAC Cup girls' soccer tournament hasn't been kind to Wheeling Park in the last three seasons. On the other hand, St. Clairsville shocked previously undefeated Wheeling Central in the quarterfinals a year ago.
Thursday night at Red Devil Stadium, the Patriots (9-4) ended their recent frustration by never allowing the seventh- seeded Red Devils (7-4) a chance in a 7-1 domination on the artificial surface.
With the victory, second-seeded Wheeling Park advances to Saturday's semifinal round at Wheeling Island Stadium. The Patriots will meet No. 3-seeded Brooke at 11 a.m. The Bruins defeated Madonna in Thursday night's second game.

Wheeling Park's Briella Taylor (19) looks to make a move around the defense of St. Clairsville's Kayla Dusz during action of their game Thursday in St. Clairsville.
Briella Taylor, the daughter of Patriots coach Aubrey Taylor, put the game away early as she scored a natural hat trick in the first 16 minutes, 19 seconds of the game.
After Wheeling Park goalkeeper Devyn Nickerson denied the Red Devils' Carlee Gillespie at the 7:56 mark, the Patriots' talented Taylor took over.
Finding herself all alone just outside the top of the box, the junior let loose a strong right-footed laser that sailed just under the cross-bar and just past the outstretched fingertips of St. Clairsville goalkeeper Brianna Sowers for the first goal of the game at 12:12. A little more than four minutes later, Taylor found the net again, this time using her left foot to send the ball sizzling along the carpet and just inside the post to a helpless Sowers' left. Mikia Mueller logged the assist.
Taylor completed her first three-goal outing with a direct kick from about 25 yards out that barely eluded the leaping Sowers at the 16:19 mark.
"That's her first hat trick this season," Coach Taylor proudly said with a huge smile. "This is one of the fields that she likes to play on. When she scores she scores more because her confidence level rises.
"We wanted to make sure we got some early goals to put the pressure on them (St. Clairsville), and that's what we did. That (scoring early) gave our girls more confidence and it made their girls attack a lot more. That opened up their defense and allowed us to get open for some goals."
Attacking the Patriots was just what first-year St. Clairsville coach Wes Stoner had in his game plan.
"The goal all week was to attack them," he said. "We didn't in the first game and we played one of our better defensive games against them, but we didn't attack and kind of let them possess the ball the entire game.
"This time I wanted to try and attack instead of playing defense first, but as I just told the girls, this was our worst performance of the year, especially defensively. We just didn't play well and it was a team-as-a-whole. We were out of position at times and we were kicking the ball away."
Wheeling Park made it 4-0 before the half ended as Lizzie Sellers banged home a rebound after Sowers had denied Emily Cook's point-blank shot.
A trio of goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half bumped the margin to 7-0 and Taylor assisted on each one.
Carly Collins made it 5-0 at 2:28. Valerie Julian's goal at the 17:15 mark made it 6-0, and Cierra Yantz concluded the Patriots scoring at 9:29.
St. Clairsville avoided the shutout when Eberle Ferrell found the back of the net with 12:18 remaining. Gillespie charted the assist. Sowers, who was peppered with 21 shots, made 14 saves.
"Honestly, Brianna played a great game and unfortunately, the scoreboard didn't show it," Stoner said.
Meanwhile, Nickerson barely broke a sweat in stopping four of five shots.

WHEELING - According to John Marshall coach Bob Montgomery, Tuesday evening's baseball game between the Monarchs and Wheeling Park was just another chapter in a great rivalry.
''It was a real good game,'' he said. ''John Marshall and Wheeling Park have been battling since 1976.''
Patriot's skipper Mike McLeod agreed.
Article Photos
John Marshall's Ryan Davis (3) awaits a pitch during Tuesday's game. Catching for Wheeling Park is Matthew Hackathorn.
''It was a great high school baseball game played in the cold,'' he added. ''We had some runners left on base and had some opportunities early we didn't cash in, but you hang in there and hope the ball rolls your way.''
The ball eventually did roll Park's way as the hosts defeated JM, 3-2, at Wheeling Park high school.
The Patriots (5-0) got things going early as Andrew Kowalo hit a fly ball into center field to bring in Eric Banks after Micheal Grove laid down a sacrifice bunt to get Banks to second.
Shane Wellman helped the cause for John Marshall (3-4) in the top of the third with a double into center field that brought in Chris Minder to tie the game at 1-1.
Trevor Stewart helped Park answer right back as the senior hit a pop-up single that landed right behind second base as Ethan Jacobs crossed home plate to give the Patriots a 2-1 advantage.
Solid pitching from Wellman kept Park from stretching the lead during the next three innings as he struck out three, but it came as no surprise to the Patriots.
''The Wellman kid is a great pitcher,'' McLeod said. ''He one-hit us down there last year and we knew we were going to have a tall task at hand and we persevered.''
Kowalo came on in relief of Eric Crow for Park in the top of the seventh and gave up a two-out double to Mitch Whorton to send Tanner Filben in to tie the game at 2-2.
''I think he feels he kind of let us down a little bit giving up the run in the seventh, but great players expect to get the job done when they come in,'' McLeod said. ''I told him there's going to be some ups and downs and (Tuesday) was one of those things where he didn't get it done early, but as a unit, we picked him up.''
After a failed squeeze by the Monarchs in the top of the eighth, the Patriots did just that as Julian Figaretti stole second before Banks was hit with a pitch that set the stage for a Grove deep single into left field that brought in Figaretti for the winning run.
''Sometimes you make it up as you go along and that's what we did,'' McLeod noted. ''(John Marshall's) a pretty darn good team.''
In the visitors dug out, Montgomery was happy with his team's performance after two outings against two tough opponents.
''We're trying to find ourselves,'' he said. ''They're unbeaten and going a long pretty good. We just got beat by Steubenville (Monday) night. They have a pretty good team, of course. I was real proud of our guys. It's April 2, so there's still a long ways to go.''
With the victory, Park remains undefeated on the season, but McLeod says he's not too worried about the team's record this early in the season.
''I would rather be 5-0 than 0-5, but you know, baseball is not like football,'' he said. ''You have to peak at the right time. I hope we're not peaking (yet). We're 5-0, but, you know, come sectional time in late April that's when you want to start peaking. We have a long way to go. We had a lot of mental errors (Tuesday) and there's some things that happened that I'm not too happy about, but we'll clean it up and get ready for Steubenville (today). Hopefully the sun will come out.''

I have a few customers with 500+ contacts in their address book. They are needing to create contact groups for subsets of their address book. The most convenient way of doing this would be to show all of their contacts and allow them to highlight the contacts for a group. However, the problem for which I cannot find a solution is that when you are on the New Contact Group screen, you can search for contacts, and you can even enter an asterisk to show all; however, the asterisks only returns 50 results.
Does anyone know of a way to show all contacts when creating contact groups?

Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Peanut butter layer:
1 cup no sugar added peanut butter
1 cup powdered erythritol
12 drops EZ Sweetz (equivalent to 1/2 cup Splenda)
1 tablespoon coconut flour
2 tablespoons softened butter
2/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Thoroughly mix all ingredients for the peanut butter layer. It will be similar to a dough in consistency. Line an 8 X 8 pan with parchment paper. Leave the paper hanging out to make removing the candy easier. I sprayed mine with a little non-stick cooking spray. Press in peanut butter mixture firmly.
Melt chocolate and butter together. I used the microwave, but a double boiler is safer if you are worried about burning the chocolate. Remove from heat, add the cream, and stir thoroughly. Spread over the top of the peanut butter mixture. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. These are also good frozen.
Remove from baking dish and cut into 16 squares. I invert mine while I'm cutting them. That way the chocolate doesn't tend to break and the peanut butter doesn't get smushed.
Watch your portions with these. They are addictive, and peanut butter obviously isn't the lowest carb option available. I definitely wouldn't use these during induction. However, they are an awesome dessert for ongoing weight loss and maintenance.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
EAST CAROLINA: The Pirates (6-4, 5-1) went into their bye week just one game
behind UCF in the East Division standings. ECU's loss to the Knights earlier
in the season will make it very hard for it to earn a trip to the league
championship game. ECU has to defeat Tulane this week and Marshall on Nov. 23
and hope UCF loses out for a chance to become league champions.
HOUSTON: The Cougars (4-6, 3-3) continued to struggle under coach Tony Levine
as they were defeated 41-7 by Tulsa at Robertson Stadium. Tulsa held a massive
505-262 edge in total yards and controlled the ball for the majority of the
game with a nearly 16-minute edge in time of possession. David Piland
completed only 15-of-32 pass attempts for 144 yards and was intercepted twice.
Piland was pulled in the fourth quarter for Crawford Jones who completed 3-
of-7 passes for 36 yards and the team's lone touchdown pass. With Charles Sims
sidelined with an injury, Kenneth Farrow led the team on the ground with 15
carries for 54 yards. Sims is doubtful to return to action when the Cougars
head to Huntington to play Marshall on Saturday.
MARSHALL: The Thundering Herd (4-6, 3-3) suffered a backbreaking, 38-31,
setback to UAB at Legion Field. Marshall now has to win both of its final two
games to become bowl eligible. The Herd, which came into the contest with the
third best passing offense in the FBS with a 374.4 yard average, managed just
216 yards through the air in the loss. MU's total of 337 yards on offense was
its season-low. Rakeem Cato threw for 216 yards, two touchdowns and an
interception while completing 25-of-34 pass attempts. In the process, Cato set
a new program single-season record with 343 completions. He also extended his
streak of games with a touchdown pass to 14. Gator Hoskins made a touchdown
catch for the third game in a row. The Herd return to Joan C. Edwards Stadium
on Saturday to host the struggling Houston Cougars.
MEMPHIS: Justin Fuente managed to pick up the second win of his head coaching
career as the Tigers (2-8, 2-4) downed Tulane, 37-23, a Liberty Bowl Memorial
Stadium. The 37-point scoring output was the most by Memphis since it tallied
41 points against UT Martin in 2009. Jacob Karam completed 14-of-18 attempts
for 270 yards and two touchdowns. Brandon Hayes paced the rushing attack with
51 yards on 16 attempts. Marcus Rucker reeled in four catches for 55 yards
while Jesse Milleson made three grabs for 52 yards and a score. The Tigers'
defensive unit came up big with four interceptions, a fumble recovery, and
three sacks. Fuente will aim for the first winning streak of his career when
Memphis visits Legion Field to play UAB on Saturday.
RICE: The Owls (4-6, 2-4) had a bye week after winning their second game in a
row on Nov. 3. Rice returns to action this Saturday when it hosts SMU for its
home finale.
SMU: The Mustangs (5-5, 4-2) were dominant in their 34-6 rout of Southern Miss
at Ford Stadium. SMU outgained the Golden Eagles in total yards of offense,
435-178, as it cruised to its third win in four outings. Graham Gilbert
completed 27-of-43 attempts for 249 yards with a touchdown and also rushed for
94 yards and two scores. Jeremy Johnson and Der'Rikk Johnson each made eight
receptions in the contest. Johnson tallied 97 yards and Thompson finished with
66 yards. Zach Line was the most frequent ball carrier with 22 carries which
he turned into 92 yards and six points. Margus Hunt made an impact on the
other side of the ball with a tackle for loss, sack, and interception. The
Mustangs can become bowl eligible this weekend when they go on the road to
play Rice in a Lone Star State showdown.
SOUTHERN MISS: The Golden Eagles (0-10, 0-6) were held to a season-low 178
yards of total offense as they fell, 34-6, to the SMU Mustangs at Ford
Stadium. The Golden Eagles achieved only 10 first downs and played three
different quarterbacks in their 10th straight loss. Chris Campbell completed
8-of-18 attempts for 93 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions. Jamie
Collins continued his strong play on the other side of the ball with seven
tackles, two tackles for loss, and a forced fumble. USM will host Texas-El
Paso for its home finale this Saturday.
TEXAS-EL PASO: Despite a strong effort, the Miners (2-8, 1-5) lost for the
second time in a row as they were defeated 31-24 by UCF. UTEP overcame a 14-
point deficit in the second half before the Knights' Latavius Murray broke
away for a 47-yard touchdown run to bury its hopes. The Miners played tough
and gave their fans a glimpse of the future with freshman Blaire Sullivan
managing the offense. The rookie went 5-of-11 for 79 yards with an
interception, but made an impact by rushing for 74 yards and a touchdown on 23
carries. Nathan Jeffery racked up 175 yards and two scores on 23 carries,
while Jordan Leslie made two catches for 51 yards. Josh Fely and Shane Huhn
made 10 tackles each for UTEP's defense. UTEP will try to avoid their third
loss in a row when they visit Hattiesburg for a bout with the winless Southern
Miss Golden Eagles on Saturday.
TULANE: The Green Wave (2-8, 2-4) were unable to overcome their four turnovers
and lost 37-23 to Memphis on the road. Memphis held a 286-291 advantage in
total yards of offense in the contest. The miscues limited the offense that
had produced an average of 51 points per game over the team's last two
outings. Ryan Griffin struggled under center with a season-high three
interceptions and only 211 yards on 25-of-43 passing. Ryan Grant continued to
excel by making 11 receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown. Darion Monroe had
a strong showing on the defensive side of the ball with nine total tackles,
two fumble recoveries, and a defensive score. Tulane will try to bounce back
on Saturday when it hosts the East Carolina Pirates at the Mercedes Benz
TULSA: The Golden Hurricane (8-2, 6-0) kept their perfect league record intact
by completing a 41-7 rout of Houston on the road. Tulsa led 41-0 before
allowing a late touchdown to the Cougars. The Golden Hurricane gained 505
yards of total offense in the victory. It was the first time they gained more
than 500 yards since Sept. 15. The Golden Hurricane forced four turnovers on
the way to their 17th win in their last 18 C-USA games. Alex Singleton set a
new school record for touchdowns with 18 by rushing into the end zone twice in
the opening half. Ja'Terian Douglas had a team-high 87 yards on 12 carries.
Trey Watts had 11 carries for 57 yards while Cody Green had 10 attempts and
scored a pair of touchdowns. Green went 17-of-31 for 130 yards with an
interception under center. Tulsa will face its toughest league opponent of the
season on Saturday when it hosts UCF.
UAB: The Blazers (3-7, 2-4) picked up their second win in a row as they earned
a 38-31 decision over Marshall at Legion Field. UAB's defense held MU to a
season-low 337 yards of total offense as the team strung together wins for the
first time in 2012. The Blazers rushed for over 200 yards for the third
straight game as they ended with 209 and two TDs. Darrin Reaves rushed for 184
yards and a pair of touchdowns on 32 attempts. Austin Brown threw for 197
yards and two touchdowns but was intercepted three times in a 20-for-34
passing effort. Eight different receivers caught passes for UAB. The Blazers
stay at home to host Memphis this weekend.
UCF: Although it was not pretty, the Knights (8-2, 6-0) managed to fend off
the Miners and earn a 31-24 victory over Texas-El Paso in Texas. The win was
the sixth in a row for the team. UCF saw a 14-point lead slip away in the
fourth quarter before Latavius Murray put it back on top with a 47 yard
touchdown run. Murray tallied 117 yards on 23 carries. Blake Bortles played
well under center, completing 16-of-27 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown.
Bortles also rushed for 39 yards and two scores. Rannell Hall made three
catches for 72 yards while Jeff Godfrey reeled in three receptions for 67
yards and a touchdown. The Knights' defense forced four total turnovers. Ray
Shipman anchored the unit with 14 total tackles. UCF needs just one more win
to secure a spot in the league championship game. It will try to get that done
this Saturday when it faces the only other C-USA team without a loss in league
action, Tulsa.

Kristoffer Houlihan Komfie Manalo, Opalesque Asia:
This coming fall, expect hedge funds, private equity funds or early-stage companies to start pitching opportunities to buy into the once 'for elite-only portfolios as the Securities and Exchange Commission lifted the 80-year ban on advertising by private placement offerings.
But Kristoffer Houlihan, founder and Managing Partner at independent strategy and risk advisory company Armilla Partners, warns that the lifting of the long standing ad ban could trigger a risky, black box investment culture that takes undue advantage to gullible investors.
"The new rule could evoke more interest about hedge funds and more need for evaluation. We expect more request for information about hedge funds and other private placement offerings in the coming months. People will start asking questions," Houlihan said in an interview with Opalesque.
However, the new SEC rule did not change the restrictions on hedge funds. Houlihan noted that the same rule applies that private funds can sell their products to accredited investors with at least $1m in net worth, excluding their primary residence, and those who earned more than $200,000 annual over the past two years.
This could hurt entrepreneurs and small businesses that the JOBS Act intended to protect and promote by finding new ways to fund their businesses in the first place, Houlihan warns. Fund managers must establish the qualificat......................

Her role on the judging panel of X Factor USA still hasn't been officially confirmed but Britney Spears is already in the firing line about her ability to judge pop wannabes.
Outspoken 'shock jock' Howard Stern - who is a heeeuuuuge name in the States - made his feelings known at a press conference for America's Got Talent, which he'll be replacing Piers Morgan on for the next series.
Speaking about Britney taking Nicole Scherzinger's seat on The X Factor he said: "Well, I think it's a wonderful decision. Britney still thinks the earth is flat. I don't anticipate great opinions from her.
"I think she's [going to] sit there like J.Lo, 'Oh, you're wonderful, you're terrific. You think I can get a perfume endorsement out of this?'"
Despite this, the DJ said he'll still be tuning into the show because he thinks Britney will be a 'train wreck'.
"As far as any real criticism, I think Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid will do that," he said. "I think Britney will sit there and eat a lollipop and wear a sexy outfit... I'll tune in to see what kind of train wreck she is, absolutely."
Britney is believed to have signed on the dotted line for a whopping £9m which will see her take a place on the panel alongside Simon Cowell and LA Reid.
A fourth judge - replacing Paula Abdul - has yet to be announced for the next series which is due to hit screens in September.
A source recently told E! News: "The contract is signed. There's been a lot of back and forth over the past few weeks as they negotiated the small details, but [Britney's] on.
"It's all completed and Britney is beyond excited... She can't wait to sit down next to Simon at the judges' table and give this everything she's got. She is excited about showing the world that she can do this, and do this well.
"This is the perfect next stage in her career. Both Britney and Simon are very excited to work together."

ATLANTA -- The 2010 census makes it clear that there is a modern-day migration underway, as black families leave Atlanta and relocate to the suburbs.
But contrary to what a lot of people thought, it's not the displaced poor who are behind those numbers.
During the last decade, the city's urban landscape underwent a profound metamorphosis, as the public housing projects were demolished one-by-one. In many cases, new upscale developments replaced what were basically dangerous crime factories.
But in order to do that, thousands of residents had to be uprooted and displaced.
The conventional wisdom was that they left the city and went to suburban communities like Clayton, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties, all of which saw large population spikes among African-American residents.
But researchers say that's a myth, quite literally an urban legend. Because most of the former public housing tenants stayed in Atlanta.
"80 to 85 percent of the people in our study moved within the city limits," said Georgia State University sociology professor Deirdre Oakley. "And typically they moved within three miles. That's the average moving distance from their public housing homes. So we didn't find very many at all that moved outside the city of Atlanta
Professor Oakley says the reason people stayed put is simple: Public transportation. Most relocated near MARTA lines.
While some of the displaced residents returned to the new and improved developments, many more simply took their vouchers from the Atlanta Housing Authority and relocated to other places. Typically these were still poor communities, but respondents to the survey felt the neighborhoods also had less crime and fostered less fear.

|Knode Realty opens new Holyoke branch
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
Knode Realty and Auction opened its Holyoke branch last Wednesday, June 17. The office is located at 111 W. Emerson in Holyoke.
Owners Tyler and Laura Knode of Haxtun have been in the realty business for over a decade, helping many in and around Haxtun buy and sell. Working with the couple in the Holyoke office will be Kristin Hadeen.
On the realty side of things, Laura Knode noted they work with residential, commercial and some farms. In auctions, their specialty is farm equipment and land auctions. They have also handled some estate auctions.
Tyler, a long time resident of Haxtun, started his auction company in 1999. He received his realtor license in 1996. After he and Laura were married, Laura decided to earn her license as well. To this day, Tyler focuses more on the auction aspect of their company, but both he and Laura have an extensive background in realty.
Before starting Knode Realty and Auction, both worked at Smith and Company Realty. Before long, they bought out the company and made it their own. There they have been serving Haxtun's buying and selling needs since 2002.
Being based in Haxtun, most of their work has been done there. They have, however, served some people in Holyoke. The town's interest, said Laura, was the reason they wanted to open a Holyoke branch. "People kept asking us to," she said. So Laura and Tyler began the process of adding another office.
With just the two of them, said Laura, they couldn't manage two locations. Fortunately, Hadeen earned her licence in April, making a Holyoke branch a possibility. Hadeen had been working with the company for a year already as an assistant before making the transition to a realtor.
The three truly enjoy their jobs as realtors. Laura noted she loves meeting so many different people and seeing the houses. You never know what kind of taste a person will have or what kind of homes you will see until you get there, she said.
As they begin working with the Holyoke community, Laura stated she looks forward to being a useful service for people. Their goal is to make the process of buying or selling as easy and hassle-free as possible. They don't want there to be any surprises.
Knode Realty and Auction has had some of the largest sales in northeastern Colorado. Through the company, listings are advertised nationwide, including on their website www.knode-realtyauction.com.
For those looking to buy a house, Knode said she can show all homes that are on the market, and they work with many lenders to find the right one for their customers.
Even for auctions in the fall, it's not too soon to start looking into Knode. The sooner people come in, the sooner Knode can make arrangements for an auction, said Laura. She encourages anyone who is curious about buying or selling to stop by to see what Knode can do for them.
Tyler, Laura and Kristin will be in their Holyoke office Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. They will also be seeing customers on Tuesdays and Thursdays by appointment. To contact them, call the office at 854-4400.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- I was thoroughly impressed Friday at the Wizards introductory press conference of Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza.
There may not be a happier player in the league than Okafor. Constantly smiling and shaking hands with the new folks in Washington, the eight-year veteran knows it's his duty to impart wisdom amongst the youthful Washington players, especially John Wall.
"Being the face of a franchise is difficult, especially at a young age,"said Okafor, who recalled his days of representing the Charlotte Bobcats. "All you can do is just play your game. Be young; have fun. Make mistakes; learn from them. And continue to grow."
Ariza, 26, was more of a wild card to judge personality wise. Blessed with a tepid sense of humor, yet a smooth business talker, Ariza realizes this chance in Washington is redemption for his downtrodden years in Houston and New Orleans.
"Being in Houston, I took a lot of bumps in the road, trying to figure out what I [could] do. I'm still trying to figure out what I can do," said Ariza, who also told reporters he's still trying to find the confidence that made him the player he was with the Lakers.
Ariza, more than any other Wizard, may benefit the most from Wall's style of play. The two actually played on the same pickup team in Los Angeles the day the small forward was dealt to Washington.
"I think he has unbelievable talent. I watched him play last year and got to play with him a little bit during the summer. I can't believe somebody can really be that fast with the basketball and that explosive," marveled Ariza.
"And from what I've seen, he's been working on his shots. I didn't think in previous years he was that comfortable shooting the basketball. Teams would go under on him a lot. This year I'm not so sure if teams are going to be able to do that," praised Ariza.
Wall was incredible at the rim last season, netting 61.9 percent of his attempts. From everywhere else on the court though, it was a constant struggle.
These are Wall's specific shooting stats according to HoopData.com: From 3-9 feet (28.3 percent), from 10-15 feet (32.1 percent), from 16-23 feet (29.0 percent) and from three-point range (10.7 percent).
So in reality, Wall's 42.3 field goal percentage in 2011-2012 is quite skewed. Here's to hoping Ariza is right.

Who do you believe is the worst team in the nfl. I put the teams for the poll I believe are in a class of their own. Not just all the 0-3. Im torn between the rams and the chiefs. But the Lions are there as well
chiefs chiefs chiefs and the chiefs
chiefs are starting to show life.... Rams are pathetic ..... they may go 0-16.
This post is pending approval of site sponsors.
The Chiefs will lose their 15th straight going back to last year this weekend and I'll be there to enjoy it.
KC just wants the #1 draft pick - QB Tebow next year.
I will be at Arrowhead in October to watch them lose to the Titans
I support my team by voting for the Rams as worst team.
32 years later and I am still riding on the back.
I don't sweat the petty things,... I pet the sweaty things
Being a pro football fan in Missouri is like kissing your sister.
Ironically, they love that down there.
Lions. Bastion of suckitude.
Jim Rome might get his dream of a team going 0-16 this year.
KC wins next week.
I live in Iowa, so am I in the clear on the sister thing?

I'm always amazed that with a salary cap there is still such a large disparity between NFL teams. The NBA makes sense where one player can make a huge difference, but with the shear number of players on an NFL team you'd think it would be more balanced.The talent shouldn't be THAT much different from team to team. So what exactly makes these teams so bad? Coaching? Quaterback play? I think it is amazing to have a team to undefeated, or defeated for that matter.
Lions just got dominated by the 49rs, you are the going to beat this year?

I voted for the Lions because they have been bad for a long long time! The NFL tries its best to set the league up in ways that allow bad teams to get good (draft, scheduling)...but the Lions just are never good!
I think these 4 teams should get together and have a round robin tournament.
Which would be the end of civilization as we know it.

Timberwolves see NorCal title slip from their grasp
By: Kurt Johnson, The Press Tribune
Woodcreek beaten by St. Francis at final buzzer
The victory that felt so close just slipped through the fingers of the Woodcreek High boys basketball team Saturday night at Arco Arena. The Timberwolves had possession of the ball, up one, with 15 seconds to go, but before they could celebrate a Northern California Division II basketball championship, St. Francis found a way to score the game-winner at the buzzer. Woodcreek came up on the short end of a 48-47 decision as its season came to an end one game short of a state title game. The one thing that was evident as the Timberwolves filed into the media room for the obligatory post-game news conference was that this was not the result they expected. This team felt like it was going to win and play again Friday night in Bakersfield. "Everyone is really disappointed right now," said Woodcreek coach Burnel Pinkerton, "but when they have a chance to look back on this great run, it will be a great memory for them." The contest was physical and low scoring, the kind of battle the Timberwolves have survived before but not the one they prefer. They nearly survived this one because they were able to match the St. Francis intensity with their own and were able to play some outstanding defense. "Definitely not our pace," Pinkerton said. "We always want to play faster." By slowing the game down, the Lancers were able to do their thing in the half court, and despite their disadvantage in the height department, it worked for them. Woodcreek was never really able to get its interior offense going, and its biggest problem came on the backboards. St. Francis killed the Timberwolves with 13 offensive rebounds in the first half alone, and just when it seemed that Woodcreek had fixed the problem in the second half, it reared its ugly head one last time, just before the final buzzer. After a Woodcreek turnover gave the Lancers the game's final possession with 12 seconds remaining, St. Francis star Tyler Johnson gave up the ball to Spencer Britschgi, but his open 3-pointer bounced away. It looked like a Timberwolf win until 6-foot-3 Lancer senior Patrick Crowley grabbed the offensive rebound and got the ball back up on the glass and down to turn a one-point deficit into a one-point victory. "It is one of those things you dream about," Crowley said. "I was lucky the ball bounced to me, and then I pump-faked, he jumped and I was fortunate to hit the shot." While the Lancers poured onto the floor to celebrate a dramatic win, Woodcreek was left to ponder on what might have been. "It's not a lot of run right now," Pinkerton said. "Our last three games have been very close. It's like life, a game of inches. If he hits the shot they are diving all over the floor, and if he misses it we're diving all over the floor." Shooting the ball was a nightmare for both teams, a combination of good defense and the difficulty of shooting at Arco Arena. Woodcreek hit just 16-of-46 shots in the contest, and St. Francis was 20-of-63 from the field. "We thought we could keep them from shooting well here, and I think we did well with that," Pinkerton said. The Timberwolves shot the ball well in the first half, and took a 15-10 lead after the initial period. With the inside being unkind to Woodcreek, the guards picked up the scoring load. In the first stanza, it was Ryan Milat with six points that led the way, while Ryan Sondhi and Devin Murphy were also solid at the offensive end. Woodcreek hit just two field goals in the second quarter as St. Francis go even at 23-23 by intermission. As the teams headed to the locker rooms, Milat had 10 points for the Timberwolves, but 6-foot-11 center Mike Kurtz and Sierra Foothill League MVP Nik Milani had just two points a piece. The second half was played much like the first, as the Lancers were physical with Woodcreek, and St. Francis pulled out to a six-point lead to open the third before Woodcreek answered to get right back even. The Timberwolves made some plays of their own, and survived the dynamic offensive game of Johnson, who had a huge third quarter before leveling off in the fourth. St. Francis led by two points after three quarters, and the game came down to execution down the stretch. A huge 3-pointer by Sondhi put Woodcreek on top 46-45 with just 1:15 remaining. With 1:02 left, Johnson's shot was rejected by Kurtz, his sixth blocked shot of the night, and then with 41 seconds to go, Sondhi was fouled while driving baseline to the hole. The senior point guard hit one of two shots to increase the advantage to a deuce. Britschgi missed a shot at the 25-second mark, and Kurtz battled for the rebound and then went to the charity stripe after being fouled. After the Woodcreek center missed the front end of a one-and-one, Johnson was fouled in the act of shooting, and he made just one of the tosses. Now leading by a single point with 15 seconds left, the Timberwolves attempted to get the ball in bounds to Kurtz, but under defensive pressure from Johnson, he lost the ball out of bounds and St. Francis was set up for its crowning moment. Johnson wanted to drive to the basket, but his path was taken away by outstanding Woodcreek defense, so he pitched the ball back to Britschgi for an open three staring straight down the barrel. The shot was not close, but the follow was good, and the celebration ensued. "I wanted to get to the hoop," Johnson said. "The cut me off, and then I saw the double coming from Spence's guy so I made the pass." Johnson, a 6-1 senior, scored 19 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for St. Francis. Britschgi added nine points and seven boards and Crowley had 10 rebounds to go with six points. "I just get them started and let them go," said St. Francis coach Mike Motil. "They go out and make the plays and good teams find different ways to win." The result sends St. Francis on to the state D-II title game Friday night in Bakersfield, while the loss ends Woodcreek's season with a spectacular record of 28-6. Milat finished the game with a team-high 14 points and also grabbed six rebounds. Kurtz scored 10 points and pulled down nine boards, while Milani scored six while ripping eight boards. Sondhi had nine points and Nik Stathopoulos grabbed six rebounds in the Timberwolves' final game of the year. "It was two great teams, evenly matched teams going to war and I have to give them credit," Pinkerton said. "Our kids have a ton of heart and determination and we are never out of games. We just play too hard. We are just a bunch of public school kids, old-fashioned kids playing hoop. We are old school."
