Hold you out
This is how they do it
You scream and shout
often time I'll notice
Rise and fall
powerful deceivers
Bring down
This world as we know it
My feeling in my heart
cause I'm inside it, inside
I was getting too high
I've seen it all
Seasons change
is happening all over
Reaarranging of
governments much noble
The air they speak
strait from the creator
For centuries now
the message in a beam of wealth
My feeling in my heart
cause I'm inside it, inside
I was getting too high
I've seen
I've seen it all
Hold you out
this is how they do it
While you scream and shout
often times I'll notice
Rise and fall
powerful deceivers
Bring them down
This world as we know it

Went with my husband to Ben Avery Shooting Range just north of Phoenix Arizona for the State Long Range matches. The weather wasn't the best but I loved the clouds and the desert was starting to turn green. I always have loved the desert and find the starkness very beautiful.
Ah Sharon - this is one of those picture that one loves or hates. I love it! Using your HDRI you have created an almost surreal image very like the old 'water colour' filters that was once the rage. I can imagine this as a 3*2 foot picture on the wall of that olde Mexicana canteena. Anyway, well Done. Herb
Hi Herb. The sky reminded me of a Van Gogh type sky. I was mostly interested in the Saguaro cactus in the center of the photo and then saw the ones in front, I forget the name right now, but I decided I liked them too. I know it was a little over the top but I think Nature is Art and I put my little spin on it. Thanks again for looking and the comment. You have great work so I appreciate your comments. They mean bunches. Sharon

Reports to- day to the fuel administration told of continued widespread suffering in New York, Philadelphia and other cities. Apportionment of coal will be left largely to federal fuel administrators in the states in-which supplies are short. They will work under general instructions from Fuel Administrator Garfield to supply first householders and next industries producing war materials. Many in- dustries whose products are npt necessary for waging the war probably will be required to shut down at least three days a week until the fuel crisis is over. Fuel Administrators in the various states already have been given rather wide powers in apportioning coal in cases of emergencies, but the shortage has become so throughout the east that Dr. Garfield has decided specific instructions concerning distributions must be The less essential industries will be treated alike in all the eastern states .and fuel administrators will be asked to, observe the general rules to be drawn._________ Of German Descent. .He was always a yojii steady and temperate after .receiving hisv -n of bu .nnaire last week, became silent and mo- rose.

Railroad executives representing 177 roads and 90 per cent, of the mileage in the United States at a conference held here to-day to consider plans for safeguarding the interests they represent while under federal man- agement, decided to ask Congress to limit government control to the period of the war. The executives believe the bill now pending in Congress is too vague because it does not set a derinito date for the government to relinquish the railroads. They could see no reason, it was why it should not lie fixed for the duration of the war as has been the case with other industries which have come under federal management.

Pn accordance with new govern- ment rulings the drafting of neu- tral allies has been made impos- sible.

According to a voluntary de- cision submitted yesterday to Carl F. Siemon, chairman of the local fuel committee, the saloons of Bridgeport will not open for business to-day until this morning, instead of as first announced. The saloons will close to-night at 10 :30, making a saving of four hours consumption of fuel and light. This action was reported to Administrator Siemon, who informed The Telegram last night, following a meeting of the Bridgeport Beer, Wine and Liqupr Dealers' association on Saturday. Cabarets to Follow Suit. "The cabarets must follow the same. hours as the saloons." Mr. Siemon said last night. "The ho- tel bars and the club bara will also be expected to close at the hour voluntarily designated. by the sa- loon men. If they refuse, to co- operate, then the committee 'must refuse to allow them coal, "when' there are so many other needs for the fuel." The fu'el-'; committee is at the present time devoting- a'large'share of its attention to the advancement of fuel conservation in Bridgeport. They are working at all sources, a'nd' results are being obtained constantly. "Our idea Is to help in every way Mr. Siemon told a T.ele- gram reporter last night.

text: Posted December 19, 2012 So first let me tell about how my morning started, and then I'll get to my questions. My fiance and I live in a condo in Peachtree St. in Midtown Atlanta. Say what you will about crime in Atlanta, but this is not a bad part of town. I walk out of the front door of our building at 8:00 this morning for my usual two-block walk to work. As soon as I open the door and step out onto the sidewalk, I hear two "thuds" to my left. I look over and there's a guy getting up off the ground and running across Peachtree St. There are two maintenance guys outside that look at me dumbfounded and say "he just jumped!" and pointed to a third story window. Sure enough, the window's open and the awning for a retailer on the first level is damaged - he bounced right off a supportive metal bar in the awning on the way down. So here I am, watching this guy that just jumped out of the window, bolt across Peachtree St and through behind another condo building. I'm concerned somebody's just been assaulted or something in our building and this guy is trying to leave as quick as possible. So I run down to our management office hoping our property manager is there already and start to call the police. Property manager isn't there yet, so I go back outside, and look up at the window as I'm talking to the dispatch. Three ATF agents in full gear (bullet proof vests, all kinds of tactical crap) appear and shout "which way did he go?" I point dutifully and they proceed to run downstairs to street level and take off in different directions. I waited for fifteen minutes or so, talking to neighbors, and then left for work not knowing what the hell had just happened. My office is two blocks away. As I'm walking up to the building, I see one of the agents walking back on the other side of the street out of breath. I kind of shrugged my shoulders and said "what just happened, man?" No lie, he makes the universally-known jerking off motion with his hand and says "you win, you lose some." WTF So that brings me to my two questions: 1) Why would three ATF agents be raiding someone's condo at 8:00am? 2) Since they didn't catch the guy, what steps should our building management take?

Hello Guardians!
I had originally meant to post this last night to replace the regular 10m content, but unfortunately I was stupid and forgot to fully download the PTR client :( – in any case, here's everything you need to know about the new ability Guardians are gaining in 5.1: Empowered Maul
For reference I've included links to the tests performed below:
Control Test
Haste Test
Hit Test
Combat Test
Absorb Test
Proc Rate / ICD
In the brief testing I did last night, it didn't feel like it had a PPM restriction or an ICD. However the real way to figure this out is with actual combat logs. Our "control" test was done at 0% Haste (2.5s Attack Speed) vs a lvl 60 target dummy, to remove any possibility of missing the target. Our 2nd test was done with as much Haste Rating as I could find with a premade. This got me to 18.39% Haste (2.11s Attack Speed). Both tests were conducted over a period of about 15 minutes and 15 seconds, give or take.
Control Results
The control test resulted in 369 melee attacks, generating 152 Empowered Maul procs. Simple math gives us a proc rate of ~0.412, which is basically the stated rate of 40%. The appropriate combat log information from the control test is included below.
Haste Test Results
The haste test resulted in 431 melee attacks, generating 178 Empowered Maul procs. Again with simple math we see the proc rate has not changed from the control test of ~0.412. If this ability had a PPM limit of any kind, we would expect that the number of procs would be unaffected by Haste. Clearly this is not the case. Combat log exerpts included below.
To check if there is an ICD – which seems fairly unlikely from the Haste test results – all we need to do is pull up WoL's Expression Editor. By using the simple query sourcename="Ariellee" and spell="Tooth and Claw" we limit the results to only the procs we are interested in. Right on the front page we see that it can proc as fast as the melee attack speed I was able to get. Now it is possible there is an ICD of a lower value than the 2.11 attack speed I was able to achieve, but I think that's unlikely.
Hit Test
The next test is to see what effect having to hit your target has on this new proc. To do so I took a character with 0% Hit and 0% Expertise, and let them smack a boss dummy. This resulted in a total of 282 attacks landing on the target, while 87 did not. Now if you are required to land a melee attack, we would expect that the number procs would go down from the control test. And they do. I ended up with a total of 113 procs for this test. Comparing this to the number of attacks that landed we find that the proc rate is essentially exactly 40%. We can conclude from this that you must hit your target with an auto attack (it can be blocked or be a glancing blow) in order to proc an Empowered Maul.
It's fairly easy to find out if it works with the glyph. Simply add the glyph, stand next to two targets, and see what happens. Unfortunately WoL is mean and won't upload logs that are "too short". However I've included a snippet of the appropriate log to show that the glyph does not allow you to debuff more than 1 target with 1 Maul.
The only remaining test is actual combat conditions. When is the damage reduced? How does it work with Savage Defense? To test this I took my level 90 premade out to fight a random neutral crane. The very first thing we see is that this acts like an absorption effect. If this was intended to reduce unmitigated damage, I would've taken some damage no matter how much the auto attack was reduced. However since the auto attack is reduced to 0, we know for a fact that it is calculated after standard mitigation like Armor and percentage damage reduction cooldowns.
But what happens if you dodge the next auto attack? The debuff stays on the target. As you can see in the combat log below, the crane is afflicted with Tooth and Claw right before I dodge its next autoattack. However the debuff does not fade, and it instead affects the next autoattack that hits me. This makes Empowered Maul incredibly powerful with Savage Defense.
Update – Absorb Test
Wens was able to download the PTR and help me out with testing the absorbs from Tooth and Claw. It turns out that the absorb stacks (although I don't have a combat log of that) from multiple applications. However what I do have is a combat log to show that applications from one person will reduce the damage taken by another. I've included an excerpt of the combat log below.
As you can see the Tooth and Claw that I applied to the mob reduced the melee damage that Wens took. He died shortly thereafter (because he fails at dancing). But this is definitely one of the things I was worried about with regards to this ability. I have a feeling this will get fixed in short order because it's ridiculously overpowered. So it stacking the absorption amount (for obvious reasons).
- This is certainly a really neat way of making Maul more attractive than pooling Rage. It's obviously not as powerful as either Frenzied Regeneration or Savage Defense, nor should it be. However it does become a better option than simply sitting on your butt with a full Rage bar waiting to take damage.
- The value of Haste as a stat will increase dramatically with this change.
- The desire to be Hit and Expertise capped is further reinforced.
- This cannot affect damage taken by others. Otherwise we end up with exactly the same situation as Bearcat – something only we can do when not tanking. Easiest fix to this is to drop the floor off of it, and have it only be affected by Vengeance.

NBA salaries & contracts: the Northwest Division
The NBA offseason approaches. The draft on June 26, free-agency in July. Some rosters will change significantly, some barely at all. Today we'll start a series looking at each NBA team, a division a day, and how it's roster is impacted by contract status.
A few items to remember: the luxury tax threshold for 2014-15 is expected to be $77 million, so teams will try to stay under that amount. Also, the terms for contracts can be confusing. Player option means a player can end the contract. Team option means the franchise can end the contract. Qualifying offer means a team must make that offer to a player, else he becomes a restricted free agent. Restricted free agents can take their services to the open market, but the team reserves the right to match any offer.
The salaries listed below are from hoopshype.com.
Today, the Thunder's Northwest Division:
Under contract: Kevin Durant $20M, Russell Westbrook $15.7M, Serge Ibaka $12.25M, Kendrick Perkins $9.1M, Reggie Jackson $2.3M, Nick Collison $2.2M, Jeremy Lamb $2.2M, Steven Adams $2.2M, Perry Jones $1.1M, Andre Roberson $0.8M.
Team option: Hasheem Thabeet $1.25M.
Free agent: Thabo Sefolosha *$3.9M, Derek Fisher *$1.4M, Caron Butler *$0.4M, Grant Jerrett *$0.03M.
Salary commitments 2014-15: $68M.
Outlook: The Thunder loses three veteran role players. The core and the young brigade are retained. But the Thunder doesn't have a ton of room to stay under the luxury tax. About $9 million for three spots.
Under contract: LaMarcus Aldridge $15.2M, Nicolas Batum $11.4M, Wesley Matthews $7.25M, Thomas Robinson $3.7M, Damian Lillard $3.3M, Joel Freeland $3.1M, Dorrell Wright $3.1M, C.J. McCollum $2.4M, Meyers Leonard $2.3M, Victor Claver $1.4M, Allen Crabbe $0.86M.
Player option: Mo Williams $2.8M.
Team option: Robin Lopez $5.3M, Will Barton $0.9M.
Free agent: Earl Watson *$1.4M (*2013-14 salary).
Salary commitments 2014-15: $56.8M with player options; $50.6M with no player options.
Outlook: The Blazers have their impressive starting unit back at a decent price. But the bench is thin; keeping or adequately replacing Williams is a priority.
Under contract: Ty Lawson $11.6M, JaVale McGee $11.25M, Danilo Gallinari $10.8M, Wilson Chandler $6.7M, J.J. Hickson $5.4M, Timofey Mozgov $4.65M, Randy Foye $3M, Kenneth Faried $2.4M, Anthony Randolph $1.8M, Evan Fournier $1.5M.
Player option: Darrell Arthur $3.5M, Nate Robinson $2.1M.
Team option: Quincy Miller $0.9M.
Free agent: Jan Vesely *$3.5M, Aaron Brooks *$1M. (*salary in 2013-14)
Salary commitments 2014-15: $64.7M with player options; $59.6M without player options.
Outlook: Nuggets have the core of their team locked up. Lawson, Faried, Hickson, Chandler, Gallinari returning from injury. But McGee is eating up a ton of salary space.
Under contract: Kevin Love $15.7M, Nikola Pekovic $12.1M, Kevin Martin $6.8M, Ricky Rubio $5.1M, Chase Budinger $5M, Corey Brewer $4.7M, J.J. Barea $4.5M, Luc Mbah a Moute $4.4M, Alexey Shved $3.2M, Shabazz Muhammad $2.0M, Ronny Turiaf $1.6M, Gorgui Dieng $1.4M.
Free agents: Dante Cunningham *$2.2M, Robbie Hummel *$0.5M, Othyus Jeffers *$0.05M (*2013-14 salary).
Salary commitments 2014-15: $66.5M.
Outlook: T-Wolves have their team – or do they? If Kevin Love wants a trade, Minnesota could be in major rebuilding mode.
Under contract: Derrick Favors $12.8M, Enes Kanter $6M, Alec Burks $3.2M, Trey Burke $2.5M, Jeremy Evans $1.8M, John Lucas $1.6M, Rudy Gobert $1.1M.
Team option: Malcolm Thomas $0.9M, Diante Garrett $0.9M, Ian Clark $08.M.
Qualifying offer: Gordon Hayward $4.7M.
Free agents: Richard Jefferson *$11M, Marvin Williams *$7.5M, Brandon Rush *$4M, Erik Murphy *$0.03M.
Salary commitments 2014-15: $29.1M.
Outlook: The Jazz should retain Hayward, and if so, all the promising young talent is secure. But there's no Durant or Westbrook in the bunch, and there's still a roster to be filled.

How to Effectively Read an Islamic Book
If we go through each book in that library, and cannot recall some change in our lives from that book, than we have not done justice to the knowledge in the book. Many of us just read books to be able to check it off of our lists, but we do not gain much from them.
Many of us have vast collections of Islamic books as part of our libraries, with books spanning all different topics of Islamic knowledge. But if we go through each book in that library, and cannot recall some change in our lives from that book, than we have not done justice to the knowledge in the book. Many of us just read books to be able to check it off of our lists, but we do not gain much from them. This is unfortunate because the works of authors like Ayatollah Mutahhari and Allama Tabatabai cannot be fully understood in just one reading. Many of these scholars have spent decades studying their particular subject, so we should put in some time as well. This article will just go into some simple steps that can be implemented by any reader in order to get the most out of one's Islamic book of choice.
Take Your Time: Books written by our eminent scholars need to be savored. Speed-reading through a book such as Divine Justice by Mutahhari will not do the book justice, and can in fact make the reader more confused. If you can only fully digest 10 pages in one sitting before getting distracted, then that is what you must do. Insha'Allah we will be given the capacity by God to learn and comprehend quicker, but everyone is at a different level and should recognize that and work from there, instead of plowing through chapter by chapter just to finish off a book.
Create the Right Environment: Curling up with a book of philosophy or ethics while the family is running around and the noises of the world are surrounding you is usually not a very good environment to learn. Again, everyone is different, but it is important to create an environment which is conducive to learning and comprehension. Some people need absolute silence while others do better with a little ambient noise. Find what is right for you and stick with it.
Re-read if Necessary: Many a time I have read a number of pages in a book, only to realize I did not really comprehend much of what I just read. In this case, it is easy to just move on, but if you are serious about gaining knowledge, you should simply re-read what you have missed, but with more focus this time around.
Take Notes: Most students take notes for their high school and college classes, but fail to take Islamic studies this seriously and just read without any other form repetition. Taking notes or highlighting important facts is a great way to remember and also a good reference in case you need to come back to the book. If there are any specific questions, you can note them down and ask a scholar at the next local Q&A session. It is said that when the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) used to speak, companions like Jabir ibn Abdullah would be taking notes, rather than trying to memorize everything. We should all continue this practice when reading about Islam.
Re-visit a Finished Book: Views and opinions change. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who has the same exact level of knowledge and the same opinions and viewpoints on controversial topics as (s)he did five years ago. Sometimes re-reading a book we may have read years ago will open up new ideas and ways of thinking. It can even seem like you are reading a totally different book! And it is always good to re-read a good book, as it can serve as a reminder to something we may have neglected
The best medicine available to cure someone's sickness is useless if it is just sitting on the shelf in its bottle and not being used to help the patient. Likewise, gaining knowledge and keeping it in our heads without using it practically is just as dangerous, if not more so. It is important then, along with gaining knowledge, that we actively strive to implement the knowledge into our lives and teach it to others when we are ready. Reading an Islamic book in an effective manner will reap all sorts of benefits. As Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) says, there are two kinds of people: teachers and students. And with a teacher such as our great Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them), there is no limit to the knowledge we can obtain.

You have some valid points. What I cannot understand is why religious books have to be on cheap paper with cheap quality print and binding. The Prayers Almanac or Mafatih are so thick that almost all books that I have seen has loose or torn spine.
If we want to attract people, specially children/youths then publishers need to pay attention to the quality of paper and printing. Maybe Mafatih can be sub-divided.
Thats a very good point brother. Presentation is an important part of spreading knowledge, especially to non muslims.
Br/Sr brings up a great point! Unfortunately, in Western society a book IS often judged by its cover. The problem lies not with the publishers, though. WE as the predominant buyers of these books like to haggle on the price, pay the least amount, and argue that the money should not be spent on the cover since the content is what's truly valuable. If this is the case, we never would have had leatherbound Qurans (starting from the Holy Prophet's time) that would safely protect the contents. We need to build the culture in our communities that books ARE the most valuable of possessions, and only if people have difficulty paying for them should they be given for free.

I disagree with splitting up the Mafaatih into parts, as the duas reference one another, are at times connected/similar, and also because people may only receive part of the supplications.
Salaam, some very valid points and handy tips are provided in your article.
I have been out of education for quite some time and have recently taken on an Islamic course to learn about Quranic Sciences. I have the material but was struggling to find my 'style' of studying. Your article has helped - jazakallah.

In regards to the poor quality paper used on our Islamic books, unfortunately what you are saying is spot on. We would pay £3000 for a plasma tv that is almost like the cinema in our living rooms, yet we fail to spend a free pounds on Islamic books.
I recently travelled to Iran and came across some books that were written by scholars such as Aytullah Hakeem... When I read the preface and forewords of some books, my heart was aching! What these scholars had to go through in order to get this knowledge to us, they were imprisoned, tortured, beaten, their work was taken away and torn or burnt and they would have to start all over again. All this because the likes of shah and saddam wanted the name Shia and Imam Hussain (as) wiped off. These books were written while they were in prison and they would have to be smuggled out by friends who came to visit them, they would take only a small amount at a time and eventually collate the book and have it publicised for us to read.

If our scholars have gone through all this to get this knowledge to us then are we doing their work any justice by skimming through the book, or just having is sat on our shelves or hageling just couple of pounds to get it as cheap as we can?

Books are precious and we should make time to read them, even if it is a very small amount at a time. It's never too late no matter how old ŷõü are ....

|Fins For An Electric Cable In An Electric Radiant Heating System - A heat-transferring fin is attached to an electric cable or to a packaged double cable of an electric radiant heating system. The fins can be attached using twist clips. Each twist clip includes an upper gripping member, a lower gripping member connected to the upper member by an upright support member, and a handle portion looping downwardly from the lower gripping member to enable a user to hold the clip and to manually twist the clip to cause the upper and lower gripping members to rotate relative to the fin and cable such that the fin and cable are clipped together. This twist clip enables quick and easy attachment of fins to cables, which greatly reduces the time and effort required to install an electric radiant heating system. This technology can be used in electric radiant floor heating or electric radiant wall heating.

So Mark had plans to capture a ground-type Pokemon in the mountains after class. Everyone has plans these days. Actually, a ground-type Pokemon would work best against a fire-type. Kilik remembered Isaac's Quilave. It was a tough opponent. He'll consider looking for a ground-type some other time, but he won't forget.
"I guess we all have plans. I'm gonna be doing some training after class, with someone I've already met." Er, why did he say that? Perhaps he just felt like gossiping. No matter, they weren't gonna bother him after class anyway. "Maybe I'll go catch a Pokemon after class, if I have spare time." He added. But does he have enough time to meet up with N & see how the little boy is doing? So much to do after this it was almost stressful. Nothing Kilik can't handle.
Mistress as a Swampert looked at all the Pokemon out, feeling all-might for her size. She felt like king to them it almost made her giggle with delight. "It seems we've just about made it." Kilik reminded Mark & Daniel, nearing the swamps. He put his mask over his mouth for good preparation. Time to see where the 'lost' kid is.

Wiki engine hands-on test
Weaving the Web
Wiki engines drive patient data stores, repositories for ideas or documentation, and treasure troves of knowledge of all kinds. In this review, we put six of these engines through their paces.
Wikis (from the Hawaiian word for "quick") have been an important part of many computer users' private and professional lives for years. Wikis are even replacing expensive knowledgebase software in corporate environments. Wikis are perfect for weaving your own thoughts and words, and they make collaborative writing much easier.
The tools consist of a browser on the user's side and wiki software serverside. The number of engines on the market is well into three digits.

I want to purchase a new cassette for my felt, currently I'm rocking the stock chorus group set that came with my bike(minus the cassette which is an old 8 speed).
Im guessing its the groupset that was available in 2003 cus thats the year my bike was made, so my question is will the new 10 speed UD chorus cassettes be compatible with my groupset? Will i experience any problems?
Also what are the main differences between lets say chorus and centaur(one step down), will it just be weight for the most part?

You may have heard the buzz about certain committees that are petitioning to get pole dance recognized as an Olympic sport. If you are laughing at this idea, then you're probably not familiar with the athletic pole dance competitions that are taking place all over the world. Yes, there is such a thing as athletic pole dance! And no, they do not have tailgate parties for this sport yet. Several years ago, pole dance became the new fitness craze, and husbands all over the U.S. were thrilled. Pole dance has clearly moved beyond strip clubs and is moving on to more prestigious things.
I recently spoke with Collette Kakuk, who is the founder of the Pole Fitness Association -- one of several organizations petitioning to get pole dance in the Olympics. A realistic goal for pole dance to be recognized is for the 2028 Olympics, but she is encouraging everyone to get on board now. And it looks like a lot of people are paying attention. The Pole Fitness Association's petition currently has signatures from supporters all over the world including Australia, Germany and the UK -- to name a few.
However, in order for this activity to be taken seriously by the Olympics committee, pole dance will need a significant make over. Or make-under depending on how you look at it. The pole dance community is in its infant stages of the quest to the Olympics, but one thing is clear according to Kakuk, and that is the stigma associated with pole dance needs to change.
Everyone is aware that pole dance and sexuality go hand in hand. In fact, I find it next to impossible to separate the two. Sure, you can put a pole dancer in spandex shorts and a spots bra, but when she is performing a vertical over-split, the word 'conservative' does not come to mind. I personally am a bit reluctant to get behind the idea of toning down the image of pole dance because I find that the raciness is half the fun.
It seems though that the sterilization of pole dancing's image would be mostly present when associated with the Olympics, and not necessarily for all of pole dance as we know it. Some of the things that would change for pole dance -- the Olympic sport -- would be:
- First, in the context of the Olympics, pole dance would be referred to as pole sport.
- Potential competitors can save their stripper stilettos for the Olympic after-party because Olympic pole competitors will probably compete barefoot. Stilettos are considered too risqué.
- And definitely no g-strings! Figure skating inspired costumes might be acceptable though.
- Potential competitors will also not be allowed to gyrate their hips or try to tempt the judges in any way. Which leads me to believe that rolling around on the floor could get a girl shamefully disqualified.
- Men's division? Yes!
- Under 18 division? Maybe. It is vertical gymnastics after all.
In addition to transitioning pole dance into pole sport, the Pole Fitness Association is working with several pole dance federations and fitness studios worldwide to create common terminology for pole maneuvers, the criteria required of a pole sport competitor, and so on. The Pole Fitness Association and other international pole dance organizations certainly have a long road ahead of them in their mission to have pole dance recognized as an Olympic sport. The current pro pole dancers seem to already have the strength, flexibility and stamina equivalent to Olympic gymnasts and rhythmic dancers, so pole dance in the Olympics is a no-brainer in my opinion. I just hope there will be a lenient policy regarding tattoos, or the pole sport competitor population may dramatically decrease!

NCAA Tournament: What the experts are saying about the OSU-Oregon game
By Anthony Slater – email@example.com - @anthonyVslater
There are plenty of opinions floating around the web, with differing stances on Thursday's intriguing Oklahoma State-Oregon matchup in San Jose. Here are some of them:
"No. 5 Oklahoma State over No. 12 Oregon: The Cowboys have a top-10 defense, and the play of freshman Marcus Smart will be the difference. Smart plays beyond his years, and Markel Brown is a special talent who is underappreciated. Oklahoma State does not shoot from the perimeter, with the exception of Phil Forte, but the Cowboys defend. Oregon is an excellent defensive team that does a solid job on the glass, but the Ducks turn it over on 21 percent of their possessions, 251st in the country. Oklahoma State will move on to play the winner of Saint Louis and New Mexico State."
"What's odd about this matchup is that Oklahoma State has strengths that counter many of the Ducks' best weapons. The Cowboys don't turn it over much (Marcus Smart gives it away some, but Markel Brown has a steady handle and reserve guard Phil Forte is second in the country in turnover rate) and they are better than average on the offensive glass. The Cowboys are too reliant on free throws, though (a stat our model has consistently targeted as a critical weakness for a high seed) and they don't shoot well (or often) from 3-point range. The Cowboys rank only 56th in offensive efficiency, which means Oregon should be able to hang around. And in March, we know that can mean for an underdog."
"No. 12 Oregon over No. 5 Oklahoma State. I love Smart and the talent that Travis Ford has assembled in Stillwater. But I just think the Ducks will prove, in a close game, that the committee undervalued them drastically."
"It's a disservice to Oklahoma State having to face a team of Oregon's caliber in the opening round, but the upside to the committee seeding the Ducks incorrectly is it does make for an intriguing early matchup. Oregon isn't playing at the same level as it was when it started the season 18-2 before an injury to Dominic Artis, but the Ducks do have their starting point guard back and they were able to play well enough in Las Vegas last week to capture the Pac-12 tournament title. What Oregon does well is speed up its opponents, force turnovers and dominate the offensive glass. Considering the Ducks will have a supportive crowd in San Jose and plenty of motivation courtesy of the selection committee, Marcus Smart, Le'Bryan Nash and Oklahoma State will have to be at their best to avoid an upset."
"No team was as disrespected by the selection committee as Oregon. A No. 12 seed for the Pac-12 Tournament champ that would've been the regular-season champ if not for a foot injury to Artis? That ought to put a chip on the Ducks' shoulders. This is a tough matchup, though. OSU's Smart might well be the best player in the country, no matter what his stats say. He makes everyone around him significantly better, and as the season has worn on, he's become more and more willing to take over games in crunch time. The Ducks' small points, Artis and Loyd, could have trouble trying to contain the powerful 6-4 Smart. Neither team is good shooting from the perimeter, so the team that doesn't settle for jumpers and instead drives the ball will win."
Not what I'd call an 'expert' opinion, but here's my take…
Oregon's underseeding does seem a bit unjust, and provides OSU with a harder than you'd expect opening game, but it shouldn't be used as an excuse. The Cowboys feel they have Final Four-type talent. Travis Ford has said they're in a group of about 20 teams who feel they can win on any given night. So go out and do it. You're going to face teams far better than Oregon on the potential road to Atlanta (like top-seeded Louisville in the Sweet 16). So view this as a necessary tune-up. Take care of business. OSU is better than Oregon. Question is: Will they play like it?

African Women Finding Their Voice In The Struggle for Social Justice
An all-women's panel at the Left Forum 2014 with speakers from the scholarly, academic, legal and media communities.
Sunday, June 1, 3:40-5:40
The kidnapping of close to 300 girls from their boarding school in Nigeria galvanized the international community - not only over the depraved, heartless action of the kidnappers but for the almost unprecedented response by hundreds and thousands of women who finally refused to let government to sweep another disaster under the rug. At this year's Left Forum panel, organized by Global Information Network, speakers will shed light on this and other under-reported stories – the stories of women calling for justice, protesting corruption, demanding decent wages, labor, property and conjugal rights. What are the issues on the front burner for women around the continent, what has independence brought? How are traditional roles changing and has it been for the better?

Oil-Producer Cooperation
and the Study of
International Political Economy
What determines the cooperative behavior among the oil-producing countries? That was the research question spelled out at the beginning of this study. The answer provided over the pages between the introduction and this conclusion is a complex story, as many factors influence the cooperation between the oil producers. The conclusions drawn in the different chapters have been conditional, as variables discussed in other chapters have been taken as constants. This chapter aims at drawing the findings of the different chapters together, and relate them to the study of International Political Economy (IPE).
Chapter 2 introduced the concepts "market structure" and "market power." The structure was defined as having a horizontal and a vertical dimension, while market power was defined as the ability of a group of market actors to influence the oil price or conditions for price-setting. The distribution of market power in the international oil market was related to three groups of actors: the international oil companies, the consuming countries, and the oil producers. The relationship between actors' behavior and the market structure was perceived as dynamic, since what actors do at t1 may change aspects of the market structure in a way that constrains the actors' behavior at t2. The argument in Chapter 2 was that the structure, the other actors' behavior, and the dynamic relationship between market structure and market behavior constrained the possibility of establishing successful cooperation between the oil producers. 1 The dynamics between oil-producer cooperation and such structural changes is further developed below.

Restoring the Yuba River
Guest post by Steve Rothert, American Rivers' California Field Office Director
The fight to restore the Yuba River and restore salmon and steelhead runs to the upper Yuba has entered a new phase. The Yuba County Water Agency recently started the process to obtain a new operating license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for its New Bullard's Bar Dam. The relicensing efforts are a great oppotunity to also get salmon past the first dam on the Yuba, Englebright Dam, and we are working closely with local partners like the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) in that goal.
American Rivers' hydropower program has used the FERC relicensing opportunity to leverage important restoration actions across the country, including removing dams on the Penobscot River in Maine and, most recently, on the Klamath where we just reached an agreement with PacifiCorp to remove their four dams.
The Yuba River has one of the last wild populations of spring run Chinook salmon in California, and getting them back up into their home waters will be critical to help them adapt to climate change.
