Let Sleeping Rogues Lie
Sabrina Jeffries
2008, European Historical Romance (1820s England)
Pocket, $7.50, 400 pages, Amazon ASIN 1416551514Part of a series
I have never so enjoyed a book with such an unlikely plot. Even though I had to work really hard to suspend disbelief throughout Let Sleeping Rogues Lie, it was definitely worth it.
Madeline teaches mathematics and natural history, an unusual subject for young ladies, at an exclusive girls school. Forced into work after a scandal that cost her father his livelihood, Madelines real passion is her scientific work. Nevertheless shes cheerful and hardworking, if also stubborn, determined to have her way, and occasionally manipulative. However, not once is she described as feisty or any of the other annoying adjectives used for historical heroines who act a little out of the norm.
She meets the Anthony, the new Viscount Norcourt, when he comes to the school to enroll his newly orphaned niece. He knows the only way he will be granted custody of Tessa is if he can prove that he will provide her with a good education, and he wants to keep her out of the clutches of the evil aunt and uncle who raised him. Because the school is full and Madeline needs his help to clear her fathers name - Anthonys uncle is the man who destroyed her fathers reputation - she strikes a deal with him that includes his teaching the schools pupils rakehell lessons. He is to teach the young heiresses how to recognize and avoid insincere and inappropriate behavior from fortune seekers. A good idea, but an unlikely course. Anthony and Madelines mutual attraction develops as he spends more time at the school and also reluctantly helps her solve her problems.
I enjoyed almost everything about this book, from the intelligent, independent and pragmatic heroine, to the deliciously troubled hero. The characters were complex and dynamic and the setting refreshing, as it took place outside of London society. The attraction between Madeline and Anthony was genuine and believable, and they didnt fight their feelings for one another too much.
A theme explored in the story was the use of nitrous oxide, both as an anesthetic, and as a recreational drug. I enjoyed reading about as it signified advances in medicine and technology - in a way that many of Lisa Kleypas characters are involved in industry and manufacturing - but it also came across as a little silly. In one scene, for instance, Madeline attends a nitrous oxide party populated by actual historical figures like Josiah Wedgwood, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Peter Roget of thesaurus fame.
Reading this one entertained me a great deal. I wanted everything to work out for all the characters, not just Madeline and Anthony. The scenes during which Anthony finds self-acceptance were especially touching. Even though the plot of Let Sleeping Rogues Lie is somewhat implausible, Jeffries writing talent more than makes up for it.

Electronic Payment Issuance Card (EPiC)
General Program Information
The Maryland Child Support Enforcement Administration (CSEA) offers an Electronic Payment Issuance Card (EPiC) as the alternative choice to receiving child and spousal support payments by mail or direct deposit. EPiC is a Visa Debit Card. EPiC makes it easier, faster and safer for families to receive monthly child support payments.
You do not need to have a bank account to receive a card and use EPiC. If you have a checking account, you may apply instead for Direct Deposit.
EPiC provides access to your funds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can use your EPiC to make purchases everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. You will also have cash access via PIN-based point-of-sale (POS) terminals and ATMs.
Cardholders can check the balance on their cards and review all their account transaction activity 24 hours a day using the Bank of America Website or by calling 1-866-213-4074.
Here's how the cards work:
- Enrollment in EPiC is automated. Approximately 30 days after you receive your first payment by check you will receive your EPiC.
- Whenever you are due to receive a payment, CSEA will send the funds by Electronic Funds Transfer to your EPiC.
- You can then use EPiC to make purchases or withdrawals until the funds are exhausted.
- You cannot make any additional deposits to the account. Only CSEA can fund the card.
- This is not a credit card and attempting to use your card for purchases that exceed your balance will result in the transaction being declined.
If you currently have a bank account and would prefer to receive your child support payment via direct deposit into your existing bank account, please call 1-800-332-6347 to request a direct deposit form. You may also pick up this form at your local Child Support Office or download and print it from our Website.
There are thousands of merchants and financial institutions that accept Visa debit cards for purchases and cash withdrawals. However, there may be rare situations when a customer is unable to participate in the EPiC or a direct deposit program. In these cases, you may file for an exemption from these two options. Exemptions will be authorized under specific conditions as outlined below:
- Cannot access the funds due to:
- physical or mental disability;
- language barrier;
- literacy barrier; or if
- there is no financial institution within 10 miles of your home or place of employment.
*Fees for withdrawals from a non-Bank of America ATM will apply. You may make one, free cash withdrawal each week at bank and credit union teller windows that display the Visa logo. Additional withdrawals in the same week will incur a $1.50 fee per additional withdrawal. If you are using a check cashing service, please compare. You may be paying higher fees than those associated with the use of EPiC.

A study of the Nature's Path Organic Flax Plus Pumpkin Flax Granola box is an ultra positive experience for those who care about the earth. It has several encouraging logos and information about the family-run American company.
Nature's Path Flax Plus Pumpkin Flax Granola
The front of the box states that the Pumpkin Flax Granola is an excellent source of ala omega-3 and contains 5 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein and 0 grams of trans fat per 55 gram serving.
A review of the ingredients list shows all but the sea salt and tocopherols marked with an asterisk as organic including rolled oats, evaporated cane juice, soy oil, brown rice flour, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, oat syrup solids, molasses, and cinnamon. There are no hydrogenated fats or high fructose corn syrup in this cereal, but it does contain soy and has that warning. Read the suggested articles on the truth about soy products. It also warns that the cereal is "produced in a facility that uses wheat, peanuts or tree nuts."
The green icing on the cake is that there is a message on one side signed by Arran Stephens, Founder & Garden-keeper, that explains the company, located in Blaine, Washington, is family-run and independent. The Nature's Path Organic logo on the front of the box notes "3 generations".
Arran says that he learned the importance of being a good steward of the land from growing up on an organic farm. His father Rupert taught him, "Always leave the Earth better than you found it." That affects everything they do at Nature's Path in putting people first, tracking down super foods, "supporting family & organic gardening, championing wildlife conservation and showing leadership in support for food banks and urban gardens."
If a consumer is not "thrilled" with the product, the company asks that they be contacted on the website and they will "make things right." They also list their Facebook facebook.com/naturespath and twitter @naturespath sites.
The first on the box front is the USDA Organic label that certifies it is made with organic products. A side panel notes that it is third-party certified organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI) and displays the logo as proof.
On the package back under CERTIFIED ORGANIC, it says "Unlike 'natural' label claims, certified organic products are guaranteed to have been grown without chemical herbicides and pesticides, and there are never synthetic preservatives or additives. Because really, who wants any of that for breakfast?"
The side panel bears the Whole Grain Council logo that says the cereal has 31 grams (this picture that says 8 grams is a logo example) or more of whole grains per serving. It is suggested that consumers eat 48 grams or more of whole grains daily.
On the back of the box under WHOLE GRAINS, it explains that "Foods made from whole grains have all the essential parts and naturally-occurring nutrients of the entire grain seed, and the Whole Grain Stamp'll let you know how much you are getting per serving."
The NON GMO PROJECT VERIFIED logo appears on the package top along with the Non Gmo Project website
nongmoproject.org. Further explanation on the back of the box says "'GMO' stands for 'Genetically Modified Organisms'. Doesn't sound too tasty, does it? The Non-Gmo Project doesn't think so, and their verification ensures you our products are made in a kitchen - not in a lab."
The Non-GMO Project is a 501c3, the only one in North America that provides third party verification and labeling for non-GMO food and products.
One side panel has the EnviroBox™ "Less Package. More Sustainable" symbol with the explanation "We're committed to being as sustainable as possible, which is why we are always trying to make our packaging as small as we can. That said, you may have noticed this box is a bit smaller that it used to be - with the same amount of cereal."
The logo was registered as a U.S. federal trademark by Nature's Path Foods Inc. in 2004.
On the box side is the Universal Recycling Symbol with the words noting that the box is made of "100% recycled paperboard". The logo originated with the Container Corporation of America in a contest in 1970 won by Gary Anderson, a University of Southern California student. The company applied for a design trademark which was challenged so it became public domain.
There is also the U in the circle logo showing that the cereal is certified "Kosher". Nature's Path Foods hired a Rabbi's services to inspect and verify that the company complies with the strict regulations of the Union.

JJ Barea is only 6'1", but the Minnesota Timberwolves' reserve point guard did not come up short against Denver on Thursday night. He posted 17 clutch points. Rather, it was the home town Nuggets that left their fans wondering how a lesser division team could come into Pepsi Center and deliver a blow to the Blue and Yellow..
For weeks fans have been hearing that January would be Denver's month. After a navigating the NBA's toughest schedule for two months, the Nuggets would get cooking at home and start climbing in the Western Conference rankings. 2013 began with a nice win over the Clippers, winners of 17 straight games coming in, and the hopes of the fans began to swell. Then the Timberwolves came to town and the air escaped from the balloon again.
Thus is the fate of a Nuggets fan. The only thing that can be counted on is that the Nuggets will eventually let you down.
They will have many more impressive wins over the course of this season. They'll have a lot of head-slapping losses, too. We will get up. We will get down. We will get slapped around by our own expectations from this team. In the end, they will be eliminated in the first round, or if we are lucky, the second round of the playoffs...again.
The Lakers era in the Western Conference is waning. But, instead of the Nuggets claiming their rightful place atop the conference - the one that they have been in line for for nearly a decade under George Karl, the likes of the Oklahoma City Thunder and the L.A. Clippers (of all teams) have staked their claim to the throne. Those teams have emerged seemingly out of nowhere over the past few seasons while the Nuggets, a perpetual contender, have failed to take the next step.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
Every pre-season they are considered to be a contender. They are always a popular choice to be a team that rises. But they've been in constant flux and never bad enough to hit the lottery in the draft. The Nuggets are trapped in NBA purgatory and there's little chance of that changing so long as they continue to finish amongst the top eight teams in the conference. They're always just good enough that they can't be counted on.

University of Portland receives $150,000 RISE Campaign gift from Tom and Mary Herche, of Seattle, for upgrades to the baseball stadium
The gift will help finance improvements of Joe Etzel Field, formerly Pilot Stadium, which was completed prior to the 1988 baseball season. The stadium was renamed in the summer of 2004 in honor of former Portland athletic director and long-time head baseball coach Joe Etzel.
The Herche family gift is the third gift of $100,000 or more toward the project in the past six months for a total of $500,000. The gifts are part of the University's RISE Campaign, which was announced in December 2010 and seeks to raise $175 million by 2014. The RISE Campaign, which has raised more than $162 million to date, is one of the largest development campaigns ever for a Pacific Northwest private college or university.
"This multi-phased project is critical for Portland Pilots baseball," athletic director Scott Leykam said. "It is ambitious for the University, athletic department and the baseball program, but is imperative to take the program to the next level. We will rely heavily on the University of Portland baseball community to make this project a reality in the short- and long-term both as part of the RISE campaign and future fundraising efforts on the UP campus."
The first phase of the baseball stadium upgrade is currently scheduled to include installing artificial turf, in place of the natural grass field, stadium lights and outfield/perimeter fencing. Pending continued fundraising progress, the athletic department would like to begin construction on the first phase as early as the conclusion of the 2014 season with other phases to follow in subsequent years.
Following the initial renovation phase, a long-term phase II of the project is being developed which will include new grandstands, improved concession and ticketing facilities and baseball specific programming.
The RISE Campaign's goals are divided into four major themes, each with funding targets: (1) Pursuing academic excellence and faculty funding – $70 million; (2) Providing access for all students and direct assistance – $45 million; (3) Developing faith and leadership – $10 million; and (4) Enriching the campus community and physical resources – $50 million.
The University of Portland is Oregon's Catholic university and has been closely affiliated for more than a century with the Congregation of Holy Cross in South Bend, Indiana. U.S. News & World Report ranks the institution as one of the top ten regional universities in the American West. It is the only school in Oregon to offer a College of Arts & Sciences, a graduate school, and nationally accredited programs in the schools of business, education, engineering, and nursing.U.P.

The newest patent has been awarded for the design of a spectroscopic probe that mounts directly to a standard microscope in order to add spectroscopic function to the microscope with minimal alteration to the microscope's optical path.
When portable Raman spectrometers were originally attached to standard microscopes in order to convert them to Raman microscopes, it created a smaller form factor than traditional Raman microscopes, but at a cost. In order to accommodate the Raman spectrometer attached, modifications had to be made to the optical path of the microscope, which affected the microscope's original functionality.
The innovative probe design from B&W Tek was able to resolve these issues. The fiber probe is mounted directly above the objective lens of a standard microscope in order to add a spectroscopic function. It consists of minimal optical components and is compact enough that little alteration is necessary for the optical path of the microscope. Using different excitation wavelengths that are easily reconfigurable, the probe and microscope are able to perform micro-sampling, Raman analysis, and fluorescence analysis.
"We are thrilled to have received our 18th awarded patent," says Travis Thompson, Raman Product Specialist at B&W Tek. "These types of innovations not only keep B&W Tek on the cutting edge of portable spectroscopy, but also allow us to enable our customers to perform measurements never before thought possible. For example, this technology has allowed archeologists to perform Raman micro analysis in the field to measure things like cave art and even the paintings on the ceilings of ancient churches."
To view the official United States Patent awarded to B&W Tek, for "Fiber Spectroscopic Probe Mountable On A Microscope" patent number US 8,135,249, contact one of our sales specialists by calling 302-368-7924.

Area's festive events benefit from weather
By KEVIN WELCH
Globe-News Staff Writer
Mild weather mixed well with festivals across the region on Saturday.
Activities ranged from shining silver airplanes in the blue skies above Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico, to the red- and yellow-tinted foliage in Quitaque and Canadian, to the yellow brick road in Liberal, Kan.
Events at the Air Power Expo '98 at Cannon, near Clovis, N.M., began with 113 walkers and runners who competed to benefit the Officers Wives' Club welfare fund, said Debbie Skotnicki, who organized the event with Cindy Breedlove.
Breedlove's husband, Col. Phil Breedlove helped provide the action above the ground.
"We were worried about the weather, but were blessed," said Phil Breedlove, Operations Group Commander.
Doug Schultz, 51, of Quincy, Ill., flew a MiG-21 in Saturday's show.
"Primarily, we fly very fast and very loud and do very steep climbs and hard turns - a high-performance combat-type of demonstration of the plane's capabilities," Schultz said.
Riders on bicycles and horses toured the Caprock Canyons Trailway near Quitaque in that community's Fall Foliage Festival. Musicians played guitars and fiddles in town, said Guy Young, a member of the Quitaque Chamber of Commerce.
"The crowd numbers were off a little this year and the cottonwoods are just now turning a little yellow," Young said.
The leaves in Canadian have not reached peak colors either, but the Fall Foliage Festival there offered about 2,000 visitors some hints of what's to come.
"On the drive to Lake Marvin, the sumac bushes and soapberry trees are red, orange and yellow," said Remelle Farrar, community development director for Canadian and Hemphill County. "The poison oak and ivy are colorful, too, just don't pick anything red."
Canadian's festival continues today, along with the 10th annual Oztoberfest in Liberal, Kan.
Guests of honor at Oztoberfest include three of the actors who played munchkins in the "The Wizard of Oz," and the niece of the actress who portrayed Glenda the good witch, said Tory Robinson, coordinator of the event and director of the museum where most of the events took place. Globe-News regional editor David Stevens contributed to this report.

Director Bertrand Blier shifted focus to a female protagonist in this winner of the Cannes special jury prize. A successful car salesman (Gérard Depardieu) is happily married to his gorgeous wife (Carole Bouquet, actress and longtime face of Chanel, who won a César for this performance), but finds himself falling in love with his rather plain new secretary (Josiane Balasko). The couple learns they share the same feelings and begin an affair. But this particular relationship is harder for his wife—who lives with the burden of people resenting her for her beauty—to accept. The trio periodically addresses the camera directly with their speculations about adultery.
"From the classic triangle, almost farcical, (Blier) tells a shocking story of love through his dreamlike and poetic writing." —actress Josiane Balasko

New Twitter abuse arrest
A 25-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of harassment by officers investigating Twitter abuse aimed at Caroline Criado Perez, 29, and Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy, Scotland Yard said.
Live updates
Clegg welcomes police action over Twitter abuse
Nick Clegg welcomed police action over Twitter abuse after a man was arrested on suspicion of harassment after threats were aimed at a feminist campaigner on the social networking site.
It comes after Caroline Criado Perez faced a deluge of threats on Twitter over the course of more than a day after she successfully campaigned for a woman's picture to be put on a new bank note.
The Deputy Prime Minister said: "What is unacceptable offline is unacceptable online."
He added that he had "probably" received lots of abuse on Twitter.
Twitter bosses to be called before MPs
Twitter bosses are to be called before MPs' to explain their response to abuse posted on the social networking website.
A 25-year-old man was arrested today on suspicion of harassment by officers investigating Twitter abuse aimed at Feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez and Labour MP Stella Creasy.
The head of trust and safety at Twitter, Del Harvey, told ITV News that policies were in place to protect users against harassment but agreed it could do more to tackle online abuse.
ITV News UK Editor Lucy Manning reports:
Threat of rape or violence 'not protected by Twitter'
Del Harvey, head of trust and safety at Twitter, has said that the company's policy is: "We don't want people to use our platform to do things that are illegal that's not something that we support."
"I think a lot of times people think that we stand on the whole 'Twitter is a platform for free speech - so anything goes' and that's just not the case," she said.
"We do have policies against a lot of harassment ... and a threat of rape or violence is not something that's protected by that sort of concept of anything goes."
Twitter urged to 'get a grip' on abuse
Feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez says Twitter needs to "get a grip" on security as it emerged bosses were likely to face a grilling from MPs.
The campaigner, who was besieged with sexually explicit threats on Twitter after she campaigned for the faces of women to be included on banknotes, said the social network was ill-equipped to handle episodes of sustained abuse and needed to work more closely with police to deal with internet trolls.
Ms Criado Perez, 29, met Twitter directors on Monday along with MP Stella Creasy who received a similar torrent of abusive messages after she offered support to the freelance journalist.
Man, 25, arrested after Twitter harassment claims
A 25-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of harassment by officers investigating Twitter abuse aimed at Caroline Criado Perez, 29, and Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy, Scotland Yard said.
A police statement read:
"This arrest will form part of two ongoing MPS investigations relating to allegations made to police by two separate victims, who made reports of malicious communication to police on 25 and 29 July."
The arrest comes after Labour MP Stella Creasy complained to police after she was threatened with rape on Twitter.
ACPO: Twitter threats 'will be taken seriously by police'
Head of the Association of Chief Police Officers, Chief Constable Andy Trotter has said threatening messages sent via Twitter are "disgraceful" and will be taken seriously by police:
Police investigate Twitter attack on Stella Creasy
Police are investigating a series of sexually explicit and violent tweets sent to Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy after she spoke out in support of a feminist campaigner who received threats to rape and kill her via Twitter. Scotland Yard said:
Stella Creasy urges Twitter users to block trolls
Labour MP Stella Creasy has urged Twitter users to block people who send abusive tweets, after she received threatening messages under the hashtag #takebacktwitter.
Twitter 'not blind to the reality' over abusive tweeters
Twitter's senior director has said the firm are "not blind to the reality" that some users would use the service to post abusive tweets.
Del Harvey admitted that the company could not manually review every tweet due to Twitter's "global reach" but insisted that systems were in place to evaluate violations of rules.
In a statement posted on the website's UK blog, Mr Harvey said: "While manually reviewing every Tweet is not possible due to Twitter's global reach and level of activity, we use both automated and manual systems to evaluate reports of users potentially violating our Twitter rules."
"These rules explicitly bar direct, specific threats of violence against others and use of our service for unlawful purposes, for which users may be suspended when reported."
Mr Harvey stressed that Twitter was continuing to work to make the systems and processes for reporting abuse better.

Tory MP reveals extent of personal Twitter abuse
Conservative MP Claire Perry has revealed the extent of the abuse she has received from Twitter users.
Perry, who has been advising David Cameron on measures to tackle the spread of extreme pornography and child abuse on the internet, wrote, "I am tempted to shut down my Twitter account given the trolling going on incl. to me - but that would be giving in. #TakeBackTwitter".
The MP then retweeted some of the abusive messages.
Earlier Labour MP Stella Creasy revealed that she had complained to police after she was threatened with rape on the social networking site after supporting the feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez.

Buying good value wine isn't a mystery. It's an attempt to purchase a tasty product at a price that doesn't break your bank. As with most other purchases it involves a knowledge of the terrain. Below are three wines that cost less than $6 dollar a bottle and the reasons why. Working with these reasons should help you find other good value wines.
2012 Chardonnay "Valle Central" (Viña San Pedro "Gato Negro")
This is a clean, dry refreshing white wine made in Chile from the world's most famous grape. It's in the modern no-frills category of Chardonnay and is packaged in a screwcap format.
What makes it so inexpensive? Land costs are a factor. The label says it's from the "Valle Central" which is almost like saying "California" on a label of Golden State wine: hence, you don't know exactly where the grapes grew (and it's probably a blend from several areas anyway). The thing to note is that the most costly vineyard land in Chile goes for about $30,000 an acre (versus $200,000 in Napa or $1,000,000 or more along the choicest sites in Burgundy). So the vineyard land for this wine probably goes for a third the national max or even less.
Yields are another reason. Although the most interesting vineyards are kept to yields like 3 tons an acre or less, Chilean grapegrowers are known for getting twice that much and more. Grape costs are another. Specifics are not available but the California analogy is again helpful. If you are a producer of Chardonnay in the Napa Valley, you are looking at an average price per ton of $2,350 (2012). Think of that versus the average price for the grape in California at $850 per ton. Further, stainless steel fermentation and "ageing" obviates the need to buy costly oak barrels. This "un-wooded" or "un-oaked" trend, which started about 10 years ago, has really caught on in this country after having been initiated by Australian and New Zealand producers. (There is also the slightly less fruity version from another Chilean producer, Concha Y Toro which they call "Frontera": it's about $10 for a magnum, the only size format I've seen for it).
NV Vino Rosso d'Italia (Tavernello)
This is a light bodied, dry and tangy red wine from Italy. Like the Chardonnay above it is a blend of wines, in this case from regions across the central and southern portions of the country. The dominant grape is the Sangiovese so it might remind you of a light Chianti. A lot of people swear off dry red wines during the hot summer months as most are too heavy and/or too tannic (bitter) for the higher temperatures. This one you could chill down a bit and have it by the grill.
What makes it affordable is the fact that it's made in huge quantities (its importer says it is the "#1 selling wine in Italy"). It's also made by a co-operative in Emilia-Romagna. Co-ops tend to have lower marketing costs which are obviously NOT affecting consumer as much. It is also not a wine with an appellation, or better, "denominazione" like a Barolo or a Soave. Such wines tend to be more expensive not only because there's less made of any given one but there are fewer bureaucratic hoops to jump through. As with the Chardonnay, yields are undoubtedly higher and stainless steel is the name of the handling game. They also make a Bianco version at the same price.
2011 Ventoux (La Ferme Julien)
Ventoux is a region that is on the eastern outskirts of the classic Rhône River Valley. It is produced from the same grapes that grow in the Rhône proper – Grenache, Syrah, Carignane and Cinsaut – so it might remind you of their wines. However, Ventoux's vineyards are at a higher elevation and that makes for a lighter style of red than your average product from the area.
Ventoux is an appellation that has been around for a relatively short time. This means its producers have not had as much time as, say Châteauneuf-du-Pape, to develop their reputation. Hence, they can't – yet - charge the same prices as the more established appellations do.
It is also an exclusive of the Trader Joe's chain of stores made for them by the Perrin family of Ch. de Beaucastel fame. This kind of business plan is very common in the UK and becoming increasingly more common here. Such arrangements keep advertising and other marketing costs down. It's not been aged in small oak, but rather in vats and very large oak containers, further keeping costs down. Good value hunting!

Date: Thursday, Feb. 8, 2001
Time: 6:30 p.m. MST
Location: Olson Court at McKale Center (14,545), Tucson, Ariz.
Radio: Wildcat Radio Network (Brian Jeffries/Joe Nehls)
TV: FSNA (Dave Sitton/Bob Elliott)
Game Data: No. 11 Arizona (15-6, 7-2 Pac-10) returns to McKale Center to play its only home games in February, beginning with Washington (9-12, 3-6 Pac-10) ... Over the last four home games, the Wildcats have held the opposition to less than 65 points three times ... Since 1995-96, Arizona is 32-9 (.780) in the month of February ... The Wildcats have won 15 of the last 16 games vs. the Huskies in McKale Center ... Loren Woods is 10 points shy of totaling 1,000 in his collegiate career ... In its last seven wins, Arizona has outscored the opposition by an average of 23.1 points per game.
The Rankings: UA fell to No. 11 in the current Associated Press poll and to No. 10 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll. Arizona opened the year as the nations top-ranked team in the media and coaches polls. Incidentally, UA has been ranked in the AP top 25 for 104 consecutive weeks, the longest active streak in the nation. The Cats have been ranked in 231 consecutive AP polls released during the regular season.
Arizona Head Coach Lute Olson . . . is in his 18th season at Arizona and his 28th overall as a head coach with a career record of 626-223 (.737) and 434-131 (.768)... He recorded his 600th career win and his 400th victory at Arizona last year and has the fourth most Pac-10 wins (242) in history, trailing UCLAs John Wooden (304, 1949-75), Oregon States Slats Gill (276, 1929-64) and Washingtons Hec Edmundson (266, 1921-47)... He has the second-best conference winning percentage in Pac-10 history (minimum three years), trailing only Wooden (.810/304-74) ... During his 18-year tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have won one national championship (1997), gone to three Final Fours (1988, 1994, 1997), won nine Pac-10 Conference titles and been to the NCAA Tournament for the past 16 years in a row, which is the second-longest streak in NCAA history (North Carolina, 26)... He also led Iowa to the 1980 Final Four... Olson has been named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year six times (1986, 88, 89, 93, 94, 98), the Big 10 Coach of the Year twice (1979 & 81) and directed the UA program to the nations best winning percentage over the past 13 years... In his collegiate career, he has produced 35 NBA Draft picks, including 20 at Arizona 15 alone on the 1990s... He has led Arizona to 13 consecutive 20-win seasons and has 22 overall in his career, making him one of only six head coaches in NCAA history to record 22 or more 20-win seasons... Under Olson, the Cats are 267-26 (.911) in McKale Center and have won 195 of its last 206 home games ... He is assisted by Jim Rosborough, Rodney Tention, Jay John and undergraduate assistant Josh Pastner. Olson is 26-11 vs. Washington.
Last Time Out: Michael Wright collected his second consecutive double-double and UA put forth a strong defensive effort in the 68-41 win over Oregon State. Wright was one of four Cats to finish in double figures and his 11 boards led to a 38-19 rebound advantage. Arizona held OSU scoreless for the first 10:21 and limited the Beavers to just 31.8 percent shooting. The Wildcats blistered the nets for 77.3 percent shooting in the second half and outscored OSU 44-23. Freshman Travis Hanour scored a career-high 11 points in the win.
Scouting Washington: Washington enters play tonight with a 9-12 record (3-6 Pac-10) after Saturdays 78-72 home win over Washington State. As a team, the Huskies average 67.0 points, 37.0 rebounds and shoot 41.6 percent from the floor, but allow 72.6 points, 38.1 rebounds and a 44.1 field goal percentage. Individually, Will Perkins leads UW with averages of 13.7 points and 7.6 rebounds. Perkins leads the Pac-10 with eight double-doubles this season.
The Series: Tonights game is the 47th meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 31-15 series advantage. The Wildcats have won seven of the last eight meetings, including an 89-64 win in Seattle on Jan. 13. Arizona is 18-4 in series games played in Tucson, 12-11 in Seattle and 1-0 in neutral-site games.
Last Meeting: Loren Woods registered the fifth triple-double in school history and Michael Wright added a double-double to lead the Cats to an 89-64 win in Seattle on Jan. 13. UA used a 27-9 run over 10:00 of the first half to take control of the contest in the 25-point win. Woods (13 pts./10 reb./10 blk.) and Wright (26 pts./10 reb.) combined to hit 13-of-22 shots in the effort. The Cats held Washington to just a 28.6 field goal percentage.
Milestones: Tonights game marks a small milestone for Lute Olson. It is his 850th game as a college head coach (No. 566 at Arizona). In terms of number of games coached, Olson ranks 13th among active division I-A head coaches. Entering this season, he ranked eighth among active head coaches in terms of winning percentage. In terms of UA history, Olson ranks second behind Fred Enke, who coached in 821 games while serving as the Wildcat mentor for 36 years.
Doubling Your Pleasure: Wright helped Arizona remain in second place in the Pac-10 by posting a pair of double-doubles in two road games this week. In two games, Wright averaged 19.0 points and 12.5 rebounds and shot .560 (14-of-25) from the floor. He scored 18 points and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds Thursday at Oregon. Ten of the 14 boards vs. Oregon were on the offensive glass (a team best this season). He answered that effort with game-high totals of 20 points and 11 rebounds in Saturdays win at Oregon State. He hit 7-of-10 shots from the floor. It marked his sixth double-double of the season and 31st of his career, a figure that leads all active Pac-10 players. It also marked the first time since the seasons first two games that Wright had posted consecutive double-doubles.
Straight shooting: In Saturdays win, Arizona shot a season-best .556 (25-of-45) from the floor. Included in the effort was a blistering .773 (17-of-22) FG percentage in the second half. The .773 second-half shooting was the teams best effort in any half this season. Arizona is 7-0 this season when shooting 50 percent or better from the floor this season.
Limiting the Looks: The UA defense also played well Saturday, limiting Oregon State to .318 (14-of-44) FG shooting, an opponent season low. Arizona held OSU to just seven field goals in each half, and held the Beavers scoreless for the first 10:11 of the contest. It marked the 11th time this season, and sixth time in the last eight games, that Arizona has held an opponent to less than 40 percent shooting. OSUs 14 field goals were an opponent season low.
Holding them Down: The defensive effort also held Oregon State to just 41 points. The 41 points equaled an opponent season low and marked the fourth time UA has held an opponent to less than 60 points. OSU managed just 18 first-half points, the third time an opponent had failed to score at least 20 points in the first half this season.
Behind the Arc: Led by Travis Hanours 3-of-4 shooting from three-point range on Saturday, Arizona hit 8-of-16 three-point FG attempts vs. Oregon State. It was the fourth time this year that the Cats have shot 50 percent or better from three-point range.
In Control: UA posted a 38-19 rebound advantage on Saturday. It was the 15th time this season that Arizona has outrebounded an opponent, and the fourth time the Cats have posted a rebound advantage of +15 or more this season. The Arizona starters outrebounded Oregon State, 30-19, on Saturday. It was also the second time that UA has held an opponent to less than 20 rebounds this season.
Steal Away: Arizona collected 10 steals in a game on Saturday, marking just the fourth time this season that the squad had reached double figures in that category. Richard Jefferson equaled a career high with three steals, while teammate Justin Wessel equaled a season high with two pilfers vs. Oregon State.
All-Around Effort: Richard Jefferson continues to play solid basketball of late, as the junior scored 10 points to go with six rebounds, six steals, three steals and a blocked shot. Over his last six games, Jefferson is averaging 10.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists.
Strong Contributions: Freshman Travis Hanour played 17 minutes vs. Oregon State, his most action since Dec. 2, and responded with a career-high 11 points. The Laguna Beach, Calif., native hit 4-of-5 shots from the floor, including 3-of-4 from three-point range. On the week, Hanour hit 6-of-9 FG attempts and totaled 15 points. That was more than half of the total number of points he had scored (27) in 10 games played prior to the weekend.
Unselfish Play: Arizona collected 20 assists on Saturday, two shy of a season high. It was the fourth time this season that the Wildcats have tallied at least 20 assists in a game. Sophomore Jason Gardner totaled five assists in the game, which improved the teams record to 21-4 in his career when collecting at least five assists in a game.
Stepping In: Sophomore Luke Walton replaced Loren Woods in the starting lineup on Saturday, his sixth start of the year. Arizona is 5-1 this season when Walton is in the starting five. He responded with five points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals and no turnovers in 29 minutes. The quintet of Michael Wright, Richard Jefferson, Walton, Gilbert Arenas and Jason Gardner was the seventh different starting lineup employed by the Wildcats this season.
Scoring 80: Perhaps no statistic is more telling of Wildcat success than the 80-point mark. This season, Arizona is 9-0 when scoring 80 points and 5-5 when it does not. Over the last three seasons, UA is 37-3 (.925) when scoring at least 80 points. Arizona has scored at least 80 points in five of its last six games.
Along the Oregon Trail: Having entered last weeks road swing averaging 83.0 points per game over its previous six games, Arizona hit a bit of a speed bump while up in Oregon. The Cats failed to score at least 70 points in either game, marking the first time this season the squad had done that in consecutive games. The good part of all of this is that UA picked up a win on Saturday to move its record to 1-3 when it scores less than 70 points.
Continuing his Climb: Michael Wright currently stands in 18th place on UA's career scoring list with 1,264 points. Just ahead of Wright in 17th place is Linc Richmond (1943-49) with 1,246 points.
Balanced Attack: It was a total team effort that led the Wildcats to victory on Saturday, as nine of the 10 players to see action received double-figure minutes. Its the fourth time this season that Arizona has accomplished the feat.
Olson Honors: UA head coach Lute Olson will be given the John R. Wooden Award Legends of Coaching award. The award was adopted by the Wooden Award Committee in 1999, and recognizes the lifetime achievement of coaches who exemplify Coach Woodens high standards of coaching success and personal achievement. Olson will be honored at the 25th annual John R. Wooden Awards program.
Farewell, Bobbi: A special memorial fund has been established in Bobbi Olson's name at the Arizona Cancer Center, where she had undergone treatment since her illness was diagnosed in June 1998. Contributions can be made payable to the Arizona Cancer Center/UAF and mailed to Arizona Cancer Center Development, P.O. Box 245013, Tucson, AZ 85724-5013.
TV/Radio Information: The Lute Olson television show airs every Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. on KTTU-TV, channel 18. Additionally, the Lute Olson radio show is broadcast live every Tuesday on Newsradio 790 KNST at 6 p.m. All Arizona basketball games are broadcast live on the Wildcat Radio Network, which consists of 13 affiliates in Arizona, Nevada and Mexico.

(12:30 p.m. EDT) -- Celebrity Cruises is the latest line to jump on the flexible-dining bandwagon with the introduction of Celebrity Select. The programme allows passengers who choose the flexible option to dine any time between 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. and to decide whether they want to eat with their own party or on a mixed table with other guests.
Celebrity has been one of the few remaining cruise holdouts when it comes to offering passengers a more relaxing alternative to the traditional dining scenario, in which lines dictate specific dining times and assign dinner partners.
The notion of flexible mealtimes was started by Norwegian Cruise Line in 2000 with Freestyle Dining and lines that have followed suit to offer passengers a choice between fixed and flexible dinner times include P&O, Princess, Holland America, Carnival and Celebrity's sister company, Royal Caribbean, which introduced My Time Dining in May this year.
The primary advantage to the Celebrity scheme, according to a Celebrity statement, is that dining can be pre-booked online on a day-by-day basis. That way passengers can vary their mealtimes according, for example, to when they will be getting back from long shore excursions and want time to wind down before dinner. This is an option not offered by other lines.
There are three ways to book Celebrity Select. Passengers can go online up to four days before departure and choose a dinner time each day -- although this seems to eliminate spontaneity somewhat.
Alternatively, reservations can be made onboard daily with the dining room's maitre d'. This allows more flexibility, in theory, but there's always a risk that the best times have already been snapped up.
It is also possible to turn up and see if there's a table -- but this may involve waiting in line.
Passengers have to opt for Celebrity Select or regular dining at the time of booking, although it's possible to change from fixed dining to Select within 24 hours of boarding the ship.
Celebrity Select makes its debut on September 26 on the new Celebrity Equinox and will be phased in across the remainder of the Celebrity fleet in January and February 2010.
One thing British cruisers may have trouble getting used to, though, is the fact that anybody who chooses Celebrity Select must pay gratuities for their various waiters, assistant waiters and dining room management before cruising. This amounts to $11.50 per person per day for guests in staterooms and $15 per person per day for those in suites. Under the normal fixed dining system and in the case of P&O, Princess, Holland America and Carnival, the flexible dining as well, the gratuities are added to each passenger's onboard account to be settled at the end of the cruise and can be adjusted if the service is not up to scratch. Only Royal Caribbean operates the same prepayment system as Celebrity.
For those who enjoy the traditional two-sitting cruise dinners -- a time-honoured way to make new friends and form a rapport with the dining room waiters -- there are still lines that offer only traditional dining. Passengers in Britannia class on Cunard's ships still enjoy first and second sitting, as do those on Fred. Olsen vessels, Costa and MSC. Crystal Cruises is the only luxury line to offer set mealtimes.

We reexamine the two-point correlation of density maxima in Gaussian initial conditions. Spatial derivatives of the linear density correlation, which were ignored in the calculation of Bardeen et al. [Astrophys. J. 304, 15 (1986)], are included in our analysis. These functions exhibit large oscillations around the sound horizon scale for generic cold dark matter (CDM) power spectra. We derive the exact leading-order expression for the correlation of density peaks and demonstrate the contribution of those spatial derivatives. In particular, we show that these functions can modify significantly the baryon acoustic signature of density maxima relative to that of the linear density field. The effect depends upon the exact value of the peak height, the filter shape and size, and the small-scale behavior of the transfer function. In the LambdaCDM cosmology, for maxima identified in the density field smoothed at mass scale M[approximate]1012–1014M[sun]/h and with linear threshold height nu=1.673/sigma(M), the contrast of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) can be a few tens of percent larger than in the linear matter correlation. Overall, the BAO is amplified for nu>~1 and damped for nu<~1. Density maxima thus behave quite differently than linearly biased tracers of the density field, whose acoustic signature is a simple scaled version of the linear baryon acoustic oscillation. We also calculate the mean streaming of peak pairs in the quasilinear regime. We show that the leading-order 2-point correlation and pairwise velocity of density peaks are consistent with a nonlinear, local biasing relation involving gradients of the density field. Biasing will be an important issue in ascertaining how much of the enhancement of the BAO in the primeval correlation of density maxima propagates into the late-time clustering of galaxies

Pousada de Mong-Ha is the perfect place to stay in Macao, especially if you are interested in more than gambling. Pousada means a place of rest and welcome and used to identify traditional Portuguese inns which date back to the middle ages. A pousada reflects the architectural, decorative and gastronomic characteristics of a region. The Pousada de Mong-Ha is the hotel associated with Institute of Tourism. Located on a hilltop that was once a 19th century Portuguese fortress today there are natural gardens and woods creating an ambiance of serenity. The hotel has small patios with fountains and traditional Portuguese title accents,
The 20 rooms present a blend of East and West and include all the amenities one expects from a more expensive hotel. The multi-jet shower is amazing. The complimentary breakfast includes eggs cooked to order and many homemade items including jams and breads.
There is a free one-way shuttle three times a day to central locations including the ferry station and A-ma Temple. The Educational Restaurant is beautiful offering a wide selection of wines. The restaurant also has a Happy Hour and Afternoon Tea. Keep in mind that it is a school so the restaurant is not open on weekends and holidays.
Needless to say, the service is excellent. The students are passionate about their position and desire to offer excellent service. For more information check http://www.ift.edu.mo/EN/Pousada/Home/Index/240.

Being fond of using coconut oil to cook with, I was delighted when Tropical Traditions sent me a quart of their 'Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil' to review. When I opened the jar I noticed that it didn't have the "coconut" smell as with other brands. This is a good thing though, since their product is 100% organic virgin coconut oil, it wouldn't have the additional smell that other brands add in. If you have ever opened a fresh coconut and drink the milk inside, you would understand that the coconut smell and taste is not as vibrant as it is in man made products.
Cooking with this oil has left wondrous taste and nutrients values to the foods we cook. My family of five boys noticed that the fried foods wasn't oily and that the taste of the foods, such as the chicken, tasted like chicken and not the oils I was used to cooking with. Olive oil is another oil that I use when sautéing certain foods, but not in the last meal. I switched the olive oil out with the 'Gold Label' and found that the stir fry was tender and not withered down by the oil.
"Virgin Coconut Oil is a food, and is one of the best cooking oils you can use. It has been a staple cooking oil for thousands of years in tropical climates. As a cooking oil, its chemical structure is kept in tact and therefore is resistant to mutations of fatty acid chains even when used in higher cooking temperatures, unlike most vegetable oils. Research shows that the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil boosts the body's metabolism, raises body temperatures, and helps provide greater energy which can lead to weight loss," ("Gold Label® Virgin Coconut Oil," 2014).
Not only is this 100% organic and great for your cooking and body, but it is also great for your pets. We have been giving our dogs, who have dry skin coconut oil for weeks, as it is recommended by veterinarians, but there was not much of a change until we started using the 'Gold Label'. We have noticed much less scratching and itching among our loving dogs, which means less allergens flowing threw the air to attack my allergies. A truly great change in the way I cook and feed my family and animals.

"Inshallah [Allah willing], your throat got slit in the street, within days."
It's common practice for the vast majority of reputable Western media outlets, such as Examiner.com, to choose to self-censor certain photographs that may be considered either inappropriate or too graphic for public consumption. However, in the advent of citizen journalism and social media, there are many that adhere to the notion of a shocking first impression is the best. Case in point would be the Facebook protest of an Egyptian activist against the ISIS terrorist organization, as reported by the American news portal Breitbart.com on Aug. 25, 2014, as well as the Jerusalem-based Times of Israel on Aug. 24, 2014.
Whilst no Muslim-dominated nation or Western Islamic-centered news organization is willing to run the provocative photo of 23-year-old Egyptian activist Aliaa Magda Elmahdy and a yet to be identified veiled confederate, the duo make their feelings known by menstruating and defecating on the black flag of al-Qaeda on Elmahdy's personal Facebook page. Since the rise of ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), the Western Asia branch of al-Qaeda has adopted bin Laden's banner as their own. With few on the Muslim Street willing to even give the impression of insulting Islam, the publishing of Elmahdy's offending photo is strictly verboten due to the words "There is no God but Allah" printed on the flag. The photo of Elmahdy's protest is available on any of the three cited sources.
Elmahdy has made a name for herself in the Middle East for baring all in many of her public and internet protests against the violently oppressive ISIS terrorists. She initially burst on to the scene when she posted nude photos of herself along with various political slogans written on her body as a form of protest to "scream against a society of violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy" in her native Egypt. At the time, Egypt was ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government of the since overthrown leader Mohamed Morsi.
Now known simply as IS (Islamic State - Arabic: الدولة الإسلامية ad-Dawlah l-ʾIslāmiyyah), the jihadists have quite the sanguine history of kidnap, rape, torture and mass killings of those who refuse to adhere to their particular brand of Sunnni Islam. The most recent example of their handiwork was the internet video of their beheading of American freelance journalist James "Jim" Foley. Since Elmahdy's IS flag photo hit the internet, she has received a number of death threats which she's posted on the Facebook page. All threats are basically in the same vein as one posted recently "Inshallah [Allah willing], your throat got slit in the street, within days."

The host is very nice and makes you feel comfortable even if you are in a traffic jam and arrive later than expected. Great location, perfectly near to Beaches, Le Croisette and city center in a nice and safe environment. A bakery and a small supermarket are just 50m away. FREE parking in the streets around the building. A great balcony and a private roof terrace with BBQ and shower :-) The appartment has all comfort you need for a great stay and is clean and nice. Maybe some details could be improved to get five stars (e.g. a bit saggy mattress). The appartment is perfect and spacious for 2persons, but also with more it should be fine because of separate areas. We will come back next time :-)
Very good stay at the Residence "Les Fleuries"
Very well equipped. Short walk to the beach. Good shopping possibilities.
Gladly Again.

We had a wonderful stay here. The apartment was a perfect location for where we had to be everyday. Helene was punctual when we arrived and very accommodating throughout our stay.
We would go back.
Excellent apartment in a quiet area two minutes from the sea.
Ottimo appartamento in una zona tranquilla a due minuti dal mare.
Perfect stay in nice, modern, sunny and big apartment near Croisette. Helene is very polite and helpful person. Thank u and see u in next year! :) Neli
Our say in Cannes was wonderful, beautiful place. we stayed (2 Persons) at Flat Near Beaches and Croisette, "La Rotonde" for one week. The apartment was very nice, clean, new renovated, fully equipped, very comfotable with a balcony. Close to La Croisette and beautiful beach, 5 minutes, located behind Hotel Martinez. Bus transport very close and frequently, for 1.5 Euro you can visit many places. You have the railway very close and you can see and hear the trains from the balcony, but with closed windows it is very quiet (in September, I don't know in summer).
The host, Hélene is very kind and helpful.
Wimdu is a good option if you want to make reservations, very good address and has a lot of flats to diferent prices and locations. They charge a comission for reservations and you get answers very quick.
Apartment was very nice and well located but a little bit hot despite mobile air conditioning.
The apartment "Les Fleuries" surprised us very positive! Everything looks just chic and new, just like the photos. Although we had on the first night An unpleasant encounter with a cockroach in the apartment, however we then saw no more, so we can say that the cleanliness (not superficial) was really good. The WLAN has except for a few misfires works great, although Hélène gave us previously noted that it is particularly well often times does not work so well at the weekend. But after a few minutes it was misfiring again with full signal strength since. The facilities we can only say that everything was clean and not by lowest quality! Bring soap, dish soap, hair dryer and possibly bottle opener, scissors salt, pepper etc. itself: A little tip. Otherwise, the kitchen and the bathroom is good ausgesattet. Sofa bed is also great! Even a parasol for the beach is available, which we and our skin was very grateful. There's even a concierge, the one is then available in an emergency to the side. TOP! The only thing that could interfere with, is close to the train tracks and the adjoining tennis court, leading occasionally to noises. However, this has now bother us not too. A bunny that every day has visited on the beautiful terrace us, gave us also prepares and joy when we just hold us day in apartment. Finally, a little tip on arrival if from the promenade 'Le Croisette ": By entering the street" Rue Dr Zamenhoff "and then go under the railway bridge and then you are already virtually in front of the apartment -> 4-minute walk to the beach! TOP!
Das Appartement "Les Fleuries" hat uns sehr positiv überrascht! Alles sieht genauso schick und neu aus, wie auf den Fotos. Zwar hatten wir am ersten Abendeine unangenehme Begegnung mit einer Küchenschabe im Appartement, allerdings haben wir danach keine mehr gesehen, von daher können wir sagen, dass die Sauberkeit (nicht nur oberflächlich) echt gut war. Das Wlan hat bis auf ein paar Aussetzer auch super funktioniert, obwohl Hélène uns vorher darauf hingewiesen hat, dass es besonders am Wochenende wohl öfter mal nicht so gut funktioniert. Aber nach ein paar Minuten Aussetzer war es dann wieder mit voller Empfangsstärke da. Zur Ausstattung können wir auch nur sagen, dass alles sauber war und auch nicht von niedrigster Qualität! Kleiner Tipp: Seife, Spüli, Föhn und Flaschenöffner ggf. Schere, Salz, Pfeffer etc. selber mitbringen. Ansonsten ist die Küche und auch das Bad gut ausgesattet. Schlafcouch ist auch super! Sogar ein Sonnenschirm für den Strand ist vorhanden, worüber wir und unsere Haut sehr dankbar waren. Es gibt sogar einen Concierge, die einem dann auch im Notfall zur Seite steht. TOP! Das einzige was einen stören könnte, ist die Nähe der Bahnschienen und des anliegenden Tennisplatzes, was hin und wieder zu Geräuschen führt. Allerdings hat dies uns jetzt nicht sonderlich gestört. Ein Häschen, dass uns jeden Tag auf der schönen Terasse besucht hat, hat uns zudem auch Freude bereitet, wenn wir uns mal tagsüber im Appartement aufgehalten haben. Zum Schluss noch ein kleiner Tipp bei der Ankunft falls von der Promenade "Le Croisette": in die Straße "Rue Dr Zamenhoff" einbiegen und dann unter die Eisenbahnbrücke gehen und dann seid ihr auch schon quasi vorm Appartement -> 4 Minuten Fußweg zum Strand! TOP!

Headlines & Highlights
Since its 1979 revolution, the Islamic Republic has been an ever-increasing challenge for the West to understand and to engage. But Tehran's controversial nuclear program, disputed 2009 election, growing violations of basic human rights, and angry rhetoric have generated deeper hostilities with the outside world than at any time since the revolution's early days. The stakes—and consequences—are greater than ever. Fifty experts—half Western, half from the Middle East—came together in "The Iran Primer: Power, Politics and U.S. Policy" to explain what lies ahead.
|Headlines & Highlights.pdf
"The Iran Primer"--Book Overview
The world's most comprehensive website on Iran, "The Primer" brings together 50 experts—Western and Iranian—in concise chapters on politics, economy, military, foreign policy, and the nuclear program. It chronicles events under six U.S. presidents. It also has leader bios, timelines, data on nuclear sites—and context for what lies ahead. New articles are added at the top.

Do You Love God or Religion?
On August 5th, 2012 I had the privilege to be the guest speaker at Breath of Life AG in West Carrollton, OH. This is my home church and I thank Pastor Michael Leatherberry for the opportunity.
Are you really in love with God? I mean really in love. Too many Christians today find themselves in a mundane rut of attending services, bible reading, and prayer out of a sense of obligation. If that is you, this message will remind you of the true depth of God's unending love.
You are sure to discover a new passion and joy in your Christian walk. I hope you enjoy the message.
Please take a moment and share your thoughts with me. Did God speak to you? I would love to know what you and your beloved discussed.
Filed under: Sermons
2 Responses to "Do You Love God or Religion?"
Thank you for sharing this. You gave me a lot to think about. I especially enjoyed your expounding on the 3rd commandment. After thinking on it a bit I thought why would I want to disrespect the one I love in any way? Of course, as you mentioned, being human we've all done it, but I am much more aware now of those "little" ways I do just that. Praise God He not only forgives me, but when I earnestly ask, He helps me to Love Him even more deeply, and to not repeat those disrespectful words or actions.

Lady Raiders Sign Another Student-Athlete
April 12, 2000
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Lady Raider basketball team has signed junior college standout Candi White to a National Letter of Intent to attend Texas Tech University in the fall of 2000. Tech has now inked six players, including the five who signed in November: Jolee Ayers (Canyon, Texas), Dionne Brown (Georgetown, Texas), Casey Jackson (Amarillo, Texas), Jia Perkins (Granbury, Texas) and Natalie Ritchie (Amarillo, Texas).
White, a 5-7 point guard from Canyon, Texas and Canyon High School, has spent the last two seasons at Seward County Community College in Liberal, Kan. In her first year at SCCC, she led her team to a 34-4 record and was fifth in the NJCAA National Tournament. She was a second-team All-Jayhawk Conference selection and named to the Region VI All-Tournament team, while being selected to the NJCAA National Select team that toured Hungary and Slovakia. White's team was also named the 1999 NJCAA National Academic Champions.
This season, White led her team to a 33-1 record and captured the Jayhawk Western Division title. SCCC was ranked No. 1 in the final NJCAA national rankings. White was an honorable mention All-American selection, while being named first-team All-Jayhawk Conference and first-team All-Region VI. White was also received Region VI All-Tournament honors.
White holds SCCC school records for career assists (577), season assists (354) and the single-game record for assists (16). This year she averaged 10.1 points, 10.4 assists and 3.6 steals per game.
"I am real excited to have Candi as a Lady Raider," said head coach Marsha Sharp. "She has had a terrific career at Seward County Community College. She has had two great coaches, Jim Littell at Seward and Joe Lombard at Canyon and will bring a lot of great qualities to the point guard position. She is a great passer and runs the floor well - a very solid player. I am most impressed with how she runs a basketball team."
