OUR perceptions, in Johannesburg at least, of the Czech Republic are skewed. We forget Pilsner Urquell, Bata Shoes and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra as our minds race to peroxide-blonde bouncers in a steroid rage and heavyset women reporters holding microphones up to the mouths of insensate gangsters emerging from courtrooms after yet another tepid bollocking. We think of the murdered corpses of naughty or just unfortunate men, or of cagefighting or indiscriminate mockeries of justice. There is no talk of Franz Kafka, Milan Kundera or Vaclav Havel — but there is no talk of Czech coal either.
That is both surprising and not. The latter, it could be argued, because many locals are too busy, say, fiddling with credit card scammers, contemplating their next tattoo or going to the bathroom all over themselves when they see a photograph of Julius Malema.
But what has happened in the real Czech Republic and Poland is strange and goes against the grain. It is a rare case of small countries confronting a big bully — the biggest of them all, the European Union (EU).
The EU's proposals on climate change involve a series of targets: under Connie Hedegaard, the commissioner for climate action, it committed to reducing carbon-dioxide levels to 20% below 1990 levels. At the same time, legislation has been adopted to raise the involvement of hydroelectric, solar, wind and biomass energy to 20% of market participation.
No doubt arranging these targets and associations was one of the most bureaucratic exercises ever undertaken, so it must have been infuriating for the unelected commissioners with their calculators and spectacles and ill-fitting suits to tolerate Spain's abolition of solar photovoltaic subsidies in July, or the UK's decision in August to freeze solar subsidies for the rest of this year.
But the Czech Republic didn't just denounce renewables. Like Poland, it declared that it would double its reliance upon the most vulgar, explicit word in energy — coal.
It's a funny situation, but Brussels isn't laughing. Behind the dour expressions of its middle-management equivalents, the European Commission is livid because of the well-documented fact that it doesn't like its members — whom it treats like petulant children — to think for themselves, exercise any form of sovereignty in its energy policies or even consider what might be best for their own citizens.
Against a set of one-size-fits-all policies and projections, Poland and the Czech Republic have been brave enough to say the costs associated with renewable programmes are not conducive to their own economic growth. But this position will inevitably pit them against the environmental lobby groups that the EU has inexplicably accommodated in policy formation units. It remains to be seen whether these two countries will be censured for their insolence.
In 2011, the former president of Czech Republic addressed an audience in Sydney, Australia, where he drew parallels between communism and the global warming doctrine. Those who declare Poland and the Czech Republic's respective decisions to revert to coal as sacrilege should remember two important points: first, no economy wins any prizes for poverty; second, these countries happen to know a totalitarian movement when they see one.

Three generations of the Politis family are what "made" GP's restaurant in Jersey City, NJ Monthly restaurant reviewer Karen Tina Harrison says in this month's issue.
The "gratifying" Italian restaurant, located at 94 Pavonia Ave., is one of two locations, with the other in Guttenberg.
The menu features "time-honored" recipes such as GP's Classics, which features meatballs and a chunky Bolognese ragu made from pork, veal and beef "simmered four hours in white wine, milk and fresh herbs," according to Harrison's article.
The menu also offers appetizers designed for sharing, small plates that include gorgonzola polenta with grilled vegetables and an antipasti menu with cheese and salumi samplers, the article reads.
"Start with the best ingredients, and don't over-handle or overcook them," Chef Jim Galileo said. "Because you can't fake it."

Themes in The Devils Arithmetic
Sacrifice plays a very big part in the devils arithmetic. For instence, when Hannah got to the camp she had to give up the blue ribbon in her hair. Also she had to sacrafice herself to save the little kid who didn't get in the thing in time.
Tone and mood in Devils Arithmetic
In the beginning of the book Hannah was being a little selfish brat and was only thinking about herself. But twards the middle of the book Hannah has come to appreciate how much she took for granted. Then twards the end of the book Hannah's mood is sad and longing for her own life back.
Metphors in "Song of the wandering Angus"

2. white moths were on the flickering wing
3. little silver trout
4. fire-a-flame
5. silver apples of the moon
6. golden apples of the sun
A movement in the mid 19 century america that coincided with the American romantic period
A direct comparison of dissimilar objects using like or as: "I wandeder, drifting like a cloud"

Third person point of view
A point of view in which the narrator does not interact with the story but is, rather, an observer in the action.
Third person omniscient
The narrator of the story is all knowing, and can recound actions of character(s)
Third person limited

Situational irony
The difference between what the audience or reader expects to happen and what actually happens.
Stream of conconsciousness
The unedited recording of a character's thoughts, which may resemble random, abstract thinking or free association.
Progression of Hannh/Chaya in the Devils Arithmetic
Throughout T.D.A. Hannah changes much as a character.In the beginning she is selfish and only cares about herself. In the house with gilt and Yitzchak hannah becomes more aware of things and less selfish of things. Then in the concentration camp, hannah is trying to help others and is making sacafices so other people are helped. But saddly this ends up killing her. So hannah in this book changes frequently due to the change of the book and the change of setting.
How does the setting effect the plot in T.D.A
The setting of the book changes frequently and due to this it makes the scenes be more life-like. Also they seem to be in the wong place at the wrong time because as soon as hannah gets there germans come and takes them to a constration camp. Also, its ironic that hannah goes back in time to the holocaust when there talking about it at the seder dinner.

The species that now dominates clam farming in BC is the Manila clam (Tapes philippinarum). Like the Pacific Oyster, Manila clams are not indigenous to the Pacific Northwest but were accidentally introduced. Some clam seed was inadvertently included with Pacific Oyster seed brought in from Japan in the 1930's. The first specimens were found in Ladysmith Harbour in 1936. It lives along much of the BC coast as far north as Bella Bella. It occupies an area higher in the intertidal zone and does not burrow as deeply as native species such as Butter clams (Saxidomus giganteus) and Littleneck clams (Protothaca staminea). It has managed to co-exist well with its other clam species while supporting both a wild clam harvest and a growing aquaculture industry.
Manila clams have been harvested along the British Columbia coast since the 1970's but only since 1985 have they been farmed. Techniques developed in Washington for clam culture were adapted for British Columbia and the industry has continued to expand since then.
The production cycle for Manila clams begins with the hatchery production of larvae. Hatheries maintain broodstock for the production of clam seed sold to growers. Most hatcheries will aim to have seed available in the spring but it is up to the grower to make sure orders are placed well in advance. To plan production, hatcheries must begin conditioning broodstock for spawning in winter. Spawning is induced by manipulating temperature and feed. The larvae are grown for two weeks until they set and may be reared for a further period in the hatchery until they are large enough to be shipped to growers. Experimental methods to set clam larvae on specially prepared intertidal sites are under development. For details on clam seed go the seed page.
Growers who choose to buy post-set juvenile clams in the spring will not usually plant them directly on the beach. They will be boosted to a larger size under more controlled and gentle conditions. Hatcheries will often undertake the first stage of nursery rearing in indoor upwellers, which can be used to raise seed from the time they have set (somewhere around 0.2mm in size) up to the specific sizes growers can purchase (e.g. 2-3mm, 3-4mm, 4-6mm, 6-9mm). Growers may build their own upwellers, either on land or floating (FLUPSY), to boost the seed further after purchase. The size at which to purchase seed depends on the rearing system to be used. However, it should be remembered that the lower cost of smaller seed can easily be offset by higher mortalities. Many growers prefer to start with larger seed which have higher survival rates thus making production more predictable. One method is to use a combination of spat bags held in tray stacks or trays lined with fiberglass window screen. How large to grow the seed in the nursery depends on when and how the grower plans to put them out on the intertidal beach growout area. They can be reared in off-bottom systems up to a size of 20mm before having to be planted. If they are grown larger there will be shell erosion and mortality. For details see nursery page.
Prior to seeding the beach with clams, the area must be properly prepared (assuming the site meets suitable biophysical criteria). Just as fields for agriculture are plowed, disked and harrowed, plots for clam culture require substrate enhancement, measures to minimize storm and wave damage, and predator control. The clams are removed from the nursery system and spread at a specific density on the prepared subtidal plots. If the seed is started in the spring this may be done in the fall. In other cases seed may be nursery reared through the winter and outplanted on the beach the following spring or summer. Once seeded on the beach, the clams will burrow into the substrate, ideally a mix of sand and pea gravel.
It is recommended that the area be covered with a plastic mesh material to protect the clams from ducks, crabs and other predators. The netting can be secured by digging the perimeter into the substrate, staking it down with rebar or cedar stakes or putting large rocks around the mesh perimeter. If it is staked or weighted with rocks a lead line can be threaded around the perimeter to keep the edges from floating up and allowing predator access. In many instances, clam farms will benefit from some natural recruitment of Manila clams, enhancing production and offsetting some of the inevitable stock mortality. For details see the intertidal page.
Depending on site characteristics, clams may take from 2 to 4 years to reach marketable size. To harvest clams, the predator cover (if present) is removed and clams are dug out of the substrate and collected. This is still usually done by hand using a long-tined rake. The substrate is turned with the rake and clams are brought to the surface in the process. They are hand-picked and collected into mesh bags. A tined scoop has been devised by one grower to dig and grade clams from areas with poor tidal drainage (see the harvest page). Mechanical harvesters are under development in BC and a couple of prototypes have been tested.
The harvested clams are generally wet stored, either by the processor or on the grower's site, for at least 24 hours to purge sand. They can be wet stored longer, in the low intertidal or in sink floats, until ready for delivery. For beach storage mesh bags of clams should be set out in a single layer on firm substrate and turned and gently shaken daily.
Yields of clams on well-managed farm plots can reach to over 2kg per square meter each year. Wild harvested clams on average yield only 0.05 to 0.1kg per square meter per year.
While Manila clams will likely continue to be the mainstay of clam farming in BC, culture of another clam species is currently under investigation: the large and valuable Geoduck clam (Panope generosa). Development of subtidal grow-out methods may soon lead to commercial viability.

This Software Reduces Soft Costs For Solar Installations
According to an NREL report, about half the cost of a residential solar installation is non-hardware soft costs. Reducing those costs is the mission of Sighten, a software tool set for solar installers. Co-Founder and CEO, Conlan O'Leary explains, "To date, most solar companies and financing providers have had to use horizontal software like Microsoft Excel or had to build software of their own. Those approaches were ultimately too unwieldy, inefficient and not scalable." O'Leary says Sighten is on a mission to reduce the soft costs.
With the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently issuing its first-ever rule limiting carbon pollution from existing power plants, many policymakers in Congress and state capitals are wondering: How can states meet the proposed standards most cost effectively?
Republicans, Democrats, and Independents can get behind two affordable, reliable, and business-friendly solutions that are ready today – American wind and solar power.
In a deeply troubling decision, the U.S. Department of Commerce today imposed new tariffs on solar modules from China that threaten to derail the rapid growth of the U.S. solar industry.
In the ongoing war on pollution, there's an increasingly bright light shining through the haze: solar energy.
Arno Harris, SEIA Board Chairman and Nat Kreamer, SEIA Board Vice Chairman, write that under SEIA president and CEO Rhone Resch, SEIA has helped our industry achieve an impressive list of policy successes, allowing solar to become one of the fastest-growing industries in America, as well as the fastest-growing source of renewable energy.
Today, President Obama announced at a Walmart in California that 300 leading U.S. companies have taken the "solar pledge," committing to install nearly 1 gigawatt (GW) of new solar as part of their business plans. For America's solar energy industry, this is like getting a triple-A investment rating from Moody's or Standard and Poor's. Solar has become a 'street-smart' investment. These companies are expanding their use of solar because it makes sense from both a business and social responsibility viewpoint. Having worked closely with both the Administration and the private sector to increase the use of clean, reliable solar nationwide, SEIA applauds this exciting, new initiative, and we look forward to assisting commercial businesses, home builders, rural coops, governmental entities and America's financial community in bringing these new solar installations online.
As expected, a non-partisan committee of experts released its 148-page National Climate Assessment (NCA) report today, offering the starkest warning yet about the dangers of climate change. After reading the report, I was left with one inescapable conclusion: We're in real trouble unless we dramatically ramp up our efforts to curb pollution.
In 1970, the first Earth Day was held to demonstrate broad global support for environmental protection. At the time, the world's population stood at 3.63 billion. Today, that number has more than doubled.
Well, guess what? Greenhouse gas emissions have doubled since then, too. Simply put, the world is in real danger, locked in on a collision course with disaster.
According to new industry data, a growing sector of the U.S. solar energy industry has reached a major new milestone, with 5 million square feet of building-integrated solar air heating collectors now installed in North America. These systems represent 250 megawatts (MW) of thermal energy and displace nearly 100,000 tons of CO2 each year from the atmosphere.
Last year, my father did what too many Floridians want to avoid but can't: he broke his hip. I spent a good deal of time flying across the Sunshine State visiting him, often under sunny skies that showcased stunning views while I sat buckled into a window seat.
With a total of only 1,231 square miles, Rhode Island is the smallest state in America. But in a short period of time, the state is starting to have a big impact on the development of renewable energy resources nationwide. Wind and solar power have economic benefits that reach far and wide. They have become increasingly affordable, attracting billions in private development, and today are both mainstream and reliable energy sources across America.

A 65-year-old man was justified in shooting two of three teenagers who were attempting to rob him as he rode his bicycle along a popular river trail Wednesday morning, authorities announced Thursday.
The ordeal unfolded shortly before 11 a.m. on the Thun Trail in Cumru Twp., Berks Co.
The teens knocked the man off his bicycle and onto the ground in their third random robbery attempt in about an hour's time, said Berks County District Attorney John Adams.
Two of the teens were assaulting the man when he pulled out a gun and shot them, police said.
"While I don't condone violence, the bike rider had no choice," said Adams. "He was in danger of death and serious bodily injury. The bike rider did not provoke the situation."
The man is licensed to carry a gun, said Adams.
One of the alleged assailants, Julius Johnson, 16, a student in the Reading School District who skipped school Wednesday, died at the scene of a gunshot wound to the chest, officials said.
Another teen, a 15-year-old student in the Governor Mifflin School District, was also shot and taken to a hospital for surgery. He is expected to be charged when he's discharged from the hospital, Adams said.
The third teen, a 16-year-old boy, was uninjured and committed to the county's Youth Detention Center.
Johnson had previous run-ins with the law and skipping school violated his probation, Adams said. Probation officers went to his home Wednesday morning, placed an electronic monitoring device on him and told the other two teens to go back to school, Adams said.
"Mr. Johnson and the two other juveniles did not go back to school, and Mr. Johnson did not obey his probation officers."
Instead, Adams said, the teens went into West Reading and assaulted an elderly man and another man before targeting the bicyclist.

Borderlands 2 is the hungrily awaited sequel to the innovative game Borderlands, released in 2009. Developed by Gearbox Software for release on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, Borderlands 2 carries on the ingenious tradition of the prequel in combining the first-person shooter genre with the best elements of the role-playing genre, making for exhilarating, non-stop action, and progressive gameplay.
Borderlands 2 Come And Get Me
Set five years after the original Borderlands, a power-hungry villain by the name of Handsome Jack is taking credit for the heroism of the four previous vault hunters' actions, and in turn seizing control of the planet Pandora. The game introduces four new ferocious Vault Hunters to the fray who set out to stop the evil mastermind, and also the CEO of the Hyperion Corporation, from opening a vault and letting loose an ancient evil: an alien known as "the Warrior". In order to achieve and succeed in this deadly and dangerous mission, you will need the help of the original four...
Borderlands 2 makes full use of its signature gameplay style of role-playing shooter, with you playing as one of the four vault hunters. The classes of the characters range from Axton (Commando), Maya (Siren), Salvador (Gunzerker), and Zer0 (Assassin), each having their own unique special skill set and weapon proficiencies, such as Salvador possessing the ability to dual-wield guns and go on a berserk rampage. The weapon options are bursting at the seams due to the help of the new gun system that expands on customisation, along with the variety of style of guns, meaning millions, if not endless possibilities. Alongside the almost limitless multitude of guns, there are grenades, procedurally generated shields, Alien Artifacts, and class mods to get your hands on, to name but a few. Prepare to shoot and loot your way through Pandora as one of these colourful characters.
Quests will be assigned via non-player characters or from bounty boards, and the rewards can vary from experience points, to money, and everything inbetween. Killing enemies and completing in-game challenges will also reward you with experience points, which can then be used to grow in level, and also allocate skill points into the three branch skill trees. These trees allow you to progress through and enhance your character's special skill sets, giving you the ability to completely tailor your character to your preferred style of decimation, amongst other things. Other gameplay features range from and include the beloved Borderlands multiplayer options, where you can team up with up to three other players online, or team up with a friend and play on split-screen as a duo, because mayhem and madness is always more fun when shared.
Borderlands 2 has been careful to only expand and improve upon the unique features and systems that were introduced in the original game Borderlands, staying true to the almost overly enjoyable manic chaos that is the game's signature play style. This is Borderlands 2, now go get hunting, shooting, and looting!(Cat Emerson)

Borderlands 2 is the best shoot and loot game of all time.
A cracking game. Plenty of fun to be had creating various sorts of mayhem!
Borderlands 2 is a good game. It's not excellent, but not bad either. It's just here, with its greatness and the rest. Borderlands 2 has a really great universe, which is interesting and funny at the same time. But this game suffers from the limitation of our era. Four players in co-operation maximum, with matchmaking and it could be much better. It could be way more fun. But still, Borderlands 2 is a good game, no more, no less.
The humor in Borderlands 2 is great. This game is amazing and I recommend it to anyone who liked the first one!
Borderlands 2 is awesome! It's an RPG shooter with great graphics and funny game play. 5 stars.
I've played a number of FPS games and Borderlands 2 is just amazing. It's a game you don't want to play on your own but with groups of people because you'll die a lot if you play on your own (i tried it). It's a game I would recommend to anyone who's either an FPS fan or likes playing with friends.
Borderlands 2 is my first borderlands game, I have never played Borderlands 1. This game have a great universe and background. Graphically speaking, it's beautiful, the cel shading is well done. The humor is ever-present and the characters have interesting backgrounds. The borderlands-regulars will find many characters that were on the 1st episode. The map is gigantic, there are many side quests related to the background. The possibility of doing the campaign with friends is cool, it's always a pleasure. A game with a good gameplay and a splendid design.
Borderlands 2 is just as crazy and fun as the fiirst, but is in all respects better prepared with more diverse locations and offers interesting challenges. Game mechanics are more sophisticated, everything works like a well oiled machine, and if you like to mix FPS and RPG then Borderlands 2 is for you. You will have so much fun, especially in co-op.
Borderlands 2 is a very good game and is easy to play.
I ordered this 3 weeks ago and since then I have played it for hours and hours. This Game is so addictive!
Borderlands 2 is just awesome!
Took the best parts of the first game, and expanded on it. It feels a bit slow at the start, but soon picks up the pace again. Not a fan of the gold key/premium item nonsense, but otherwise really enjoyed this game.
Bought this for my son, he loves it. Game wise, if you like shoot em ups you'll love this.
Borderlands 2 is a great game.
Received quickly at best price around!!!
I bought Borderlands 2 as a present. He will be one happy boy when he gets this.
Excellent graphics. Good game i haven't stopped playing it since i got it.
Very nice game, has a nice group of characters, each has his own skills and special powers, lot of fun missions and parts. The co-op mode is sweet! But the developer could make a little longer campaign for a game without a multiplayer.
I love borderlands! The choice of classes are brilliant, and I feel I can have a lot of choice in my fighting style. Great characters, great voice acting, some witty one liners and the story is well written (so far). I would totally recommend it.
Borderlands 2 has more tactical gameplay and more deep black humour and of course fantastic, great gameplay. It's one of the best games of 2012 and of course it offers many hours of fun and fantastic teamplay in co-op mode, on or offline!
Anyone who has played the original Borderlands will love this; more of the same, bigger and better. If you're trying Borderlands for the first time, expect a balanced FPS mixed with expansive RPG elements, great character classes and varied environments, all in a great adventure that's oozing with a fantastic sense of humor. Buy it.
Borderlands 2 is an excellent game. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys FPS games.
Bought Borderlands 2 as a treat for my teenage son who was hoping to get it as a Christmas present this year. He was over the moon and hasn't stopped playing it since it arrived.
This is such an improvement on the first game - if you liked Borderlands, you will love Borderlands 2! I found the difficulty curve a little off in places (too easy) but overall this wasn't a problem. Gameplay, humour and story are all fantastic. The best game I've played this year!
Borderlands 2 is by far the best triple A title released this year. Though most people say that it is just an expansion to the first installation(which is true), but who said that is a bad thing? It adds a bigger world to explore, better graphics and improved story line, what more could you ask for! And an even better thing is a new system that has been added called the "Badass Rank"; it allows you to increase your stat's every time you complete a challenge, which is carried on to any character you make.
Absolutely awesome, it actually beat my expectations. Also zavvi.com is very professional, very fast delivery, awesome service, this is why i keep coming back. Also the prices too...99% of the time they are unbeatable. I would highly recommend purchasing form zavvi.com and also Borderlands 2 is a definite must have game of 2012.
If you played the original Borderlands then you will know exactly what Borderlands 2 is about - guns, loot and shenanigans. This is a straight up evolved continuation of the first one that's even better. It's been tweaked in the right way, so it doesn't feel like they have tried too hard. There is still abundant amounts of loot, the jokes are hysterical - and the way the new character classes play is really enjoyable. The new settings and graphics are so pretty, so very pretty. The soundbytes from the enemies will crack you up, and slaughtering midgets may become your new unhealthy obsession... electronically speaking. The game is as forgiving as the first one, you die - no big deal, you lose some money and then charge back in again and resume. Playing it online with friends is the way to do it, and with the loot system amended so that you can share loot across your own various characters, you can save up cool stuff and use it across various playthroughs. If you liked the first one, then odds are you already have this game. If you don't then get it. Seriously.
Like it's prequel the perfect match of action FPS with RPG elements. The co-op integration and playtime makes this a must buy for anybody who likes FPS. It's a fine shooter for single player but it really shines in co-op gameplay (you can even play split screen). Highly recommended.
Unbelievable, and 10 times better than the original. It makes a change from the usual games and I guarantee you will laugh as there's plenty of comedy. Everything just works in the game and the amount of fun you can have, even after finishing the game, is great. There are hundreds of Easter Eggs, including Lord of the Rings and Minecraft. Surely game or the year!
I ordered the wrong PC format of this product the first time round and zavvi were very happy to allow me to return it, even though the celophane had been removed. I was very happy with the hard packaging it came in. This being said, however, the delivery time of both the original incorrect format and the correct format (once ordered again) were not within the ETAs provided by zavvi. Good supplier but I think this is my 3rd order through zavvi and all 3 products have arrived late. Don't expect to get your goods on time but do expect them to come in good condition.
This game is great! It has lasting appeal, and it's great to play with friends or by yourself. The amount of guns and re-playability is ridiculous, the game always has a better and new gun. Buy it, it's a bargain!
Fantastic game to play in co-op. Works so well if you have a group of friends with the game like myself.
Customer service brilliant!
Borderlands 2 is an amazing game, and still an awesome game after so many hours of playing.
Borderlands 2 is awesome!
It's a great game and the service was great as it arrived at my house by 2pm the same day it was released.
Excellent!! Came the day it was released and its a very good game... game of the year i think.
Has to be one of the games of the year to date. Frantic shooting action and plenty hours of game play.Replay value in this game is second to none. What will you be. Gunzerker, Assasin, Siren or Commando.
Borderlands 2 is a fantastic RPG FPS game with an enormous selection of guns to find. The large amount of quests to do means this game provides hours of fun on Pandora.
Best Game in the World - Bar None!!! Great service and delivery from Zavvi
If your looking for a game with humor, action, rpg and fps elements then look no further. This game is not only all of the above but it is long as well, you are definitely getting your moneys worth here. If you never played borderlands one then i suggest you buy that as well and play it first, not for the story so much but just to see how they took one great game and made it even better. A rare feat indeed. As for Zaavi, i pre-ordered the game and it arrived on the day of release with no problems.
The game is crazy good! Fantastic, unreal, must have!
Look - Shoot - Loot Crazy game play. Wonderful leveling. Amazing characters. More enemies than you can imagine, but less than you can kill.
I pre-ordered Borderlans 2, and I think it will be the best game of all time for sure and I am thinking of getting loot chest edition right now.

Egypt's Shares Jump to Highest Since Uprising on FDI Optimism
Egypt's shares surged to the highest level since the first days of last year's uprising as prospects of foreign direct investment from the U.S. and oil-rich Gulf Arab states boosted investor confidence.
Commercial International Bank Egypt SAE, the country's biggest publicly traded lender, climbed to the highest level since April 2011. Ezz Steel, Egypt's largest producer of the material, jumped to the highest since July 2011. The benchmark EGX 30 Index climbed 1.6 percent to 5,697.48 at the close in Cairo, the highest since Jan. 26, 2011.
Egypt's benchmark has surged 57 percent this year, making it the best performer among 92 gauges tracked by Bloomberg. The measure rose 3.4 percent in the last four days as U.S. and Saudi Arabian businessmen held meetings with government officials in Cairo to discuss investment opportunities. Qatar pledged last week $18 billion of investments in the North African country and Prime Minister Hisham Qandil said Egypt seeks to complete talks for a $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund by the end of November.
"FDIs are the name of the game," said Ashraf Akhnoukh, Cairo-based senior manager for Middle East and North Africa markets at Commercial International Brokerage Co. Investors are looking at pledges from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the IMF and interpreting it as a sign that "Egypt is a safer investment environment even though we may not be that stable yet," he said.
Egypt Raised
Last year's revolt ousted President Hosni Mubarak after a three-decade reign and prompted the Egyptian Exchange to halt trading for about two months. The benchmark index tumbled 49 percent in 2011.
EFG-Hermes Holding SAE, the biggest publicly traded Arab investment bank, raised Egyptian equities today to overweight from neutral, citing increased political stability and improved prospects for external financing. CIB and carmaker GB Auto were added to the investment bank's Middle East and North Africa Top 20 list.
CIB rose 1.3 percent to 32.88 Egyptian pounds. Ezz Steel advanced 4.4 percent to 10.41 pounds. GB Auto climbed 4.5 percent to 25.9 pounds, the highest close in a year.
Shares valued at about 944 million ($155 million) exchanged hands today, the highest level since June 2011.

Eighteen rights based coastal organizations on Saturday criticized the government for what they said its inaction in protecting coastal people from recent floods and tidal surges.
"Government's silence on this issue (coastal catastrophes due to flood caused by tidal surge) is a human right violation while coastal people has the right to live as the country's citizen," said AHM Bazlur Rahman of Bangladesh NGO Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC).
His remarks came at a human chain organized by the 18 organizations outside the National Press Club.
The organizations included BNNRC, Online Knowledge Society, United People Trust, Unnayan Dhara Trust, Coastal Protection Movement, EquityBD, Kishani Shova, Charfassion Shorif Para Ekota Songho and Coastal Development Partnership.
Leaders of the organizations demanded immediate steps to protect coastal people from natural disasters.
Aminur Rasul of Unnayan Dhara Trust said if coastal people keep coming to the densely populated capital for employment losing their lands for river erosion, it will cause a social disaster.
Rezaul Karim Chowdhury of COAST and EquityBD said government and donor agencies have spent about Tk 2000 crore in the name of climate trust and resilience funds, but money is hardly allocated or spent for protecting coastal lands and people.
Sawkat Ali Tutul of COAST Trust placed eight points specific demands which include emergency allocation for immediate maintenance of embankments, developing fast and transparent tender process of Water Development Board (WDB) and reducing system loss and deployment of army and use their expertise in critical places as necessary.

Falling Springs-Franklin County-9/18/13
2013/9/6 11:40
From Greensburg
Posts: 132
9-18-13 Falling Springs Branch..(Earlier in town i walked the banks of falling spring where i met a guy named Took who is a fly angler who writes excellent blogs on PAs trout streams, and you can see his blogs at thetroutscout.net to read some of his great storys.) Today was by far my best day in the heritage section on FSB this year, today was a quantity/quality day and I lost track after 15 or so fish. I knew drys wouldnt entice too many fish being that the temps were low, but I fooled one on a 14 Letort Hopper at Edwards Ave and missed 2 more. Then switched to an olive nymph and picked up 3 more little rainbows, one of them being in a tiny pocket of fast water that I never knew would hold a trout because of the highly turbid water. After the quick trip to Edwards Ave is when the trip started getting good up at the Greenway parking lot. My all time favorite fly for the heritage section is a size 14 olive wholly bugger, yes it's rather small, but it works better than any other fly I have thrown at them, and I hate revealing the secret fly but I trust that the people who read this report release these fish with care.(hopefully). I started at the bridge and threw my wholly bugger under from upstream and let the line go slack, half way under I let it swing and a sharp tug was felt and a nice 13"-14 beautifully colored rainbow came to hand. I then walked upstream to the next bridge and did the same thing and got the same results with one rainbow being about 10" and the other around 13". I proceeded up stream to the next bridge and tossed the beat up bugger under and as soon as I started the swing a rod bending reel screeching fish took alot of line off, I was prepared with my 4x tippet for I got him landed quickly for it was another rainbow of about 14-15" my biggest yet today . The day was getting late and I decided to fish some new water, and I intended to walk however long to find new water, and I'm sure glad I did. All this new water, far from the roads looked prime. I kept my bugger on and fished a beautiful bend in the stream that looked to be 2 ft deep near the bank, I pulled 3 rainbows of around 8-10 inches out of that one hole. I kept moving downstream through canopied woods where s nice deep run extended for about 35ft catching a small rainbow here and there, I noticed a huge fish swim up under the far bank, but I still was able to pull 2 more rainbows out of the run, both about 10". I was ecstatic, and was ready to go home when I noticed I missed the one bridge down below greenway meadow, I slowly crawled over to see 3 fish rising under the bridge and the one looked big. I stealthily tossed my bugger to the far side so it would go passed all the risers and as soon as it hit the water, I saw a wake in the water shoot over to where my bugger just landed, I set the hook and my line took off, the big trout ran far over to a huge log in the water on the far side, but I was able to put just enough pressure on to steer him away with my 7' 4weight, seconds later a 16" wild brown was quickly admired and released. Couldn't of ended my day any better.

Surplus offsets deficit
May 19, 2013
LISBON — The school district spent more money than it took in for the second consecutive year, and again the deficit was eliminated because of a substantial budget surplus carried over from the year......
School districts, and I am including all surrounding districts, monetary problems are created by the unions. Take a look at the benefits the teachers receive vs private sector benefits and you will be outraged.

Maybe the Board should look into why Lisbons student population has dropped by so much. Lisbon use to be one of the better schools in the area. Is the issue the upper management? Is it the unfairness within the sports programs? Is it the issues with students being bullied and the Board and upper management pretending its not a problem? Maybe you should take a step back and open your eyes see what's really going on in Lisbon School District.

Canyon junior Brett Shepherd was a disappointing fourth a year ago in the District 1-3A cross country meet at Thompson Park. Friday morning, he more than atoned for that with a blistering pace that paved the way for a convincing win in the 1-3A meet.
Shepherd conquered the thick grass of the 5K course, winning in 16:39. In a race that featured two of the top three runners in the area, Tulia's Ryan Maney was runner-up in 17:02. Any time under 17 minutes is considered exceptional because of the course.
"I was just trying to redeem myself from last year," Shepherd said. "I ran the first mile on pace (4:58), maybe a little bit faster, with the intention of running a good second mile. That didn't happen, but overall, I'm pleased. This course, with the terrain and thick grass, is always hard to run fast on."
Shepherd's sister, freshman Brooke, won the girls' two-mile race and led a young Canyon team to 18 points and a team title. The Canyon boys weren't so fortunate as Perryton's depth gave the Rangers a winning 31 points, edging the Eagles' 35.
"We don't have a Brett Shepherd," Perryton coach Allan Herbert said, "but we got a lot of runners who run well together, and we try to get them in a pack as high as we can."
Indeed, the Rangers' Jorge Cornejo (18:02), Yuta Yamaguchi (18:03), Juan Vital (18:08) and Shota Yamagucuhi (18:19) came through in fifth through eighth place. Fernando Medina was 10th (18:26) to round out Perryton's scoring runners.
That was just enough to top the quality of Canyon, which was led by Shepherd and fourth-place Chris Pacheco (17:46).
"We just told them to look for a purple shirt (Canyon's color) and stay with them and let them pull them along," Herbert said.
Staying with a purple jersey in the girls race was tough. The Lady Eagles placed their top five scoring runners within the top seven spots to finish with 18 points, just off a perfect mark of 15. Borger was second with 54 points.
"Our goal was to get the top five spots. We didn't quite do that, but we ran really well," Canyon girls' coach Brittany Lanehart said. "They are just so competitive. We talk to them about having the 'C' on their jersey and that comes with the attitude that nobody is going to beat us. They can be loud, aggressive and a little bit arrogant."
And very young. Of the top five, four are freshmen and one is a sophomore. Shepherd, runner-up Lauren Simpson (12:22), No. 5 Yvonne Kemei (13:11) and No. 7 Danielle Peddy (13:21) are freshmen. Sierra Manning, sixth in 13:18, is a sophomore.
"Lauren ran a great race, and Brooke is such a tremendous competitor," Lanehart said. "Somebody has got to really be better than her to beat her."
Shepherd, who's run as fast as 11:37, surged to a big early lead. She led by about 100 meters with a 12-mile to go. Simpson, who dueled with Tulia's Addison Lemaster for second, cut the gap almost in half. She finished in 12:22 while Lemaster was in 12:23.
"I sure felt a lot better than the first race in Amarillo," Shepherd said. "We cut our mileage this week. I felt a lot more rested, and my legs weren't as fatigued. I felt ready to race."
The top three teams, plus the top 10 individuals, advance to the Region I meet Saturday in Lubbock.

Safe shopping tips from the Woodinville Police Department
The holiday season is here. To help you make this busy time of year a pleasant one, the Woodinville Police Department offers some safety tips:
€ Shop with a friend. Also, some stores may provide an escort to your car.
€ Park in well-lit and well-traveled areas. When returning to your vehicle, watch for anyone hiding in or loitering near your car. If you feel unsafe, return to the store and ask for assistance from security.
€ Carry only the cash you need. Use checks or credit cards and avoid carrying a purse, if possible.
€ Be cautious when giving out your credit card number over the phone and the Internet. Know who has access to that information.
€ Be wise when using ATM machines. Try to use them during daytime hours. If you need to use them at night, be sure the area is well lit. Nowadays, a number of grocery stores have ATMs located inside where it is well lit and well-populated.
€ Don't advertise your purchases; keep them out of sight when shopping. If driving to several stores, make sure you place valuables/purchases in the trunk before you park and walk away. If close to home, it would be even better to drop them off.
€ Avoid displaying presents through your living room window. After presents are opened, don't let your trash bins announce the new acquisitions. Record the serial and model numbers of your gifts before you give them or as soon as you receive them.
€ Protect your holiday mail. Empty your mailbox each day; place a lock on it if possible. Also, when sending mail, use the slots inside the post office to avoid mailbox tampering.
€ Drive with extra caution. Allow an impatient driver to pass rather than escalate hostilities. Avoid gridlock.
€ Do not jaywalk. Make sure drivers see you by taking the time to cross the streets at the corners. During the holidays, more pedestrians are victims of traffic accidents than at any other time of year.
€ Be a good neighbor. Call the police if you observe people knocking on doors in your neighborhood without a legitimate reason.
€ Remember that it is important to report a crime. If you report it, the police can allocate resources where they are most needed.

There's already the Royal Mint's wedding coin and the Royal Collection Trust's bone China to commemorate the April 29 nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Interested in more practical – and drinkable – memorabilia?
Look no further than the German company Donkey Products, which is manufacturing his and hers teabag sets emblazoned with cartoonlike images of William and Kate. Dubbed "KaTEA & William," the tea bags, which also come with a greeting card. Luckily Pylones-USA.com & all Pylones stores in New York City are also carrying them for $8.00 a piece.
Think of it as their first joint diplomatic mission … or simply a welcome (and fun) way to enjoy high tea.

EEM Professor Appointed Executive Director for New Climate Change NGO
EEM Adjunct Professor Jigar Shah recently was named Executive Director for the Institute for Industrial Productivity, an NGO headquartered in Paris focused on reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions. Dr. Shah, who taught the EEM courses EMSE 6260 Energy Management and EMSE 6285 Analytical Tools for Energy Management for most of the past decade, is taking a leave of absence from his reaching duties to start up the new NGO.
The Institute for Industrial Productivity was established by the ClimateWorks Foundation (http://www.climateworks.org) in 2010 to focus on greenhouse gas emission reductions and energy efficiency for the industrial sector worldwide, a sector that has the second-highest potential for greenhouse gas reductions after the power generating sector.
In his role as Executive Director, Dr. Shah is developing a global hub of expertise and information on investment options and innovative technologies for private sector entities seeking to build cleaner industrial facilities. Dr. Shah is focusing his initial attention on emerging economies with the greatest potential for emissions reductions, principally China and India.
The Institute is providing technical support and research assistance to industrial entities on the best available technologies and global benchmarks for greenhouse emissions. In addition, the Institute is providing financial expertise to government and financial institutions in designing policies and financial mechanisms that provide companies and projects with effective financing options for energy efficiency investments.
Dr. Shah is well qualified to undertake this daunting mission. He has over 25 years of experience in energy efficiency and cleaner production for the manufacturing sector. Prior to joining the Institute, he served at the International Finance Corporation (part of the World Bank Group) in assisting private sector entities in developing nations to undertake climate friendly investments in energy efficiency, water management, and resource conservation. In his capacity as Executive Director, Dr. Shah is splitting his time among headquarters and regional Institute offices in Paris, Beijing and Washington, D.C.

Minerva's Den DLC for Bioshock 2: Very, very good, an engaging story and it was great to be immersed in Rapture one last time. Quite challenging as well, as long as you play on difficult and switch off the VitaChambers. Sweated out more than a few fights, particularly the skirmishes w/ the Big Sisters.

Another name for the vagina. Of course getting its name from the soft squishy feeling, and mitten.... well because things go in there.
After I was done with her squish-mitten, I came in her face.

Quite simply a vagina. This comes from how it fits around you like a squishy mitten.

TRAVELOGUE: Following the Natchez Trace in Mississippi
Natchez Trace Parkway photos by Brett Gover
The Natchez Trace Parkway runs from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee—a distance of 440 miles. It parallels the historic wilderness trail known as the Natchez Trace.
Today I drove the 90-mile stretch from Mississippi's capital, Jackson, to Natchez. It's the first leg of a road trip that will next take me north to Vicksburg and then up through the Delta.
The Parkway is a pleasure to drive. You find yourself wishing that there were more roads like it. It winds through a gently rolling landscape of lush forests, meandering streams, and sleepy farms. Hawks and turkey vultures float overhead, wild turkeys waddle through the grass, deer look up to watch you pass, and armadillos can occasionally be spotted plodding along the edge of the road.
The speed limit is a civilized 50 miles per hour, which encourages you to savor the drive. And traffic is very light—or at least it was today. Cars share the two-lane road with bicyclists, of which there are surprisingly many. (Biking the Parkway is not just allowed, it's encouraged.)
Every few miles there's a place to stop: a picnic area, a hiking trail, a historic site, a section of the old Trace, or an area of particular natural interest. Here are a few of the spots that I liked best:
- The Sunken Trace (mile 41.5): Here you can take a five-minute walk through a deeply eroded section of the Trace.
- Mount Locust Inn (mile 15.5): During the heyday of the Trace, there were more than 50 inns scattered along its length. Mount Locust is the only one that remains. The rustic structure has been restored and furnished to look much as it might have in the late 1700s.

What's worse, a collection of parents secretly conspiring against a respected high school coach with half-truths or flat-out lies, or a superintendent swallowing their accusations and firing him after nearly a quarter century? It's not a question for you, really, but one for the Williamsville School Board.
Al Monaco is a good man and a terrific basketball coach who Tuesday afternoon should have been coaching the Billies' golf team. Instead, he spent the day preparing for the upcoming school year as a teacher before going home. Apparently, the district has no problem with him teaching kids but a big problem with him coaching kids.
Go figure.
Coaches, beware, because the same can happen anywhere if enough parents make enough noise and the superintendent isn't strong enough to stand against them. Monaco coached basketball for 24 years and had a great reputation before he was fired for reasons that remained a mystery Tuesday. He certainly wasn't sent packing based on his performance.
So why was he removed?
Williamsville Superintendent Scott Martzloff has offered only vague responses, using phrases such as "it's a personnel matter" that allow him to answer questions without actually addressing the issue. From the outside, it looks as if his decision was based on parental complaints born of exaggeration if not utter fabrication and pettiness.
Imagine, teenagers telling tall tales about coaches. It's hardly a first, but most parents are intelligent enough to separate fact from fiction. Or you would expect an experienced school official to set them straight. My parents, under the same conditions, would have ripped into me for complaining about the coach. Apparently, that's not how things work in Williamsville.
Monaco appears to be a victim of a dangerous shift in culture in which parents think their kids can do no wrong, and teachers and coaches lack support from people above them. Certain parents, most of whom are removed from daily activities, have wrested authority from spineless administrators who allow it to happen.
Folks, that's frightening.
Monaco heard complaints about high school players tormenting eighth graders who were called up to varsity over them for basketball playoffs. Bullying understandably is a touchy subject in Williamsville, one Martzloff knows all too well. Monaco addressed the issue. He disciplined the offending players by not allowing them to participate in the summer hoops program, and his principal agreed with the punishment. The problem was solved until parents of the kids who were disciplined, in a strange twist, accused Monaco of bullying their kids and running a sloppy program.
Martzloff would have learned as much with a thorough investigation. It appears a man who made a career out of telling kids to do their homework failed to complete his own. A source Tuesday said he didn't interview other school officials about bullying or question the kids. Instead, he opened a case for firing Monaco.
Monaco is one of the best coaches of his generation. He has a 364-211 record over his 24 seasons. It speaks to success, not sloppiness.
It was no surprise to hear coaches from across the state have lined up to defend him. I would imagine more people called him to add their support than called the Amherst cops with accusations about him.
Martzloff insisted Monday his decision wasn't based on parents whining about playing time, but one district source Tuesday was adamant that it was precisely the reason for the heave-ho. If you know Monaco, and I have for 30 years, he would not compromise his team's success to play favorites. The accusation is ridiculous.
It would be nice to hear from South Athletic Director Kevin Lester, who said Tuesday that he wasn't allowed to speak on personnel matters. Monaco's firing should have been Lester's call given his job description. Was he even included in the process? If he's been stripped of his power, why does he have a job? Isn't that a waste of taxpayer money?
Ask the school board, which also should have a say in this matter. The board should start with outlining Martzloff's duties and deciding whether he should fire any coach.
The mess at Williamsville South is part of a scary trend in which parents gain satisfaction by taking petty complaints to the top. They don't like the first-grade teacher, so they march into school and switch the kid into a different class. They're not happy with the coach, so they complain to ... the superintendent? And then the police? That's pathetic.
The only time a parent should get involved with coaches, particularly in high school, is when safety is being compromised. Otherwise, the only interaction a parent should have with coaches is when they thank them after the season for teaching their kids a few things about the game and how sports translate to the real world.
Heaven forbid a parent would allow their child to fall down, to struggle, to not always get their way, and learn a few things about life. Too often lately, when something goes wrong, responsibility doesn't fall on the kids. Parents blame the teacher, or the coach, or create a means of rationalizing the shortcomings of their kids or, gasp, themselves.
These days, unfortunately, Mommy and Daddy believe everything Little Johnny says because Little Johnny wouldn't dare exaggerate the facts or take things out of context. And he would never, ever tell a fib because, well, that's not how Little Johnny was raised.
Goodness gracious, people, wake up.
Clearly, somebody is lying. Monaco is left without what he loves most and what he does best: coaching. He should have been holding golf practice Tuesday afternoon but instead was trying to put his reputation back together. He isn't talking, either, but he has retained a lawyer. It smells like a lawsuit.
Getting his coaching jobs back would be a start but, if I'm Monaco, it would only be the beginning. He should be allowed to challenge the very people who put him in this position in the first place. It would be interesting, if possible, to see parents on a witness stand and be held accountable for accusations that cannot be taken back.
Let's get everything out there to find the answer. Which is worse, a group of parents who worked against him or a school district that joined them?

I registered to vote in college. It was quite simple, MTV was on site and was giving away T-Shirts for Rock the Vote! How could I miss out on a FREE T-Shirt from MTV! As I have grown older and wiser, I have taken a sense of pride in educating myself about the candidates, the propositions and voting.
These days when I go to the polls I notice that there are a lot fewer people who are voting and even less youth. An Infographic on Youth Voting determined that college youths are more likely to vote than young adult voters. The issues they are most passionate about are the economy, healthcare, social issues and energy.
My hope for the 2012 election is that more youth will be involved in voting and being active on the causes that are important in 2012. With 46 million young adults eligible to vote in the 2012 election I'm sure their votes will have an impact on the election. I'm not sure that giving youth T-Shirts will work anymore. However, as moms we can encourage youth to vote by educating them and making voting a topic of discussion more than once a year. Our kids won't vote unless we equip them with the knowledge to make them realize the impact their vote has on our society and its future. We can't make a difference if we don't vote.
Do you agree with the infographic on Youths and Voting? Will you be voting in 2012? How will you encourage youth to vote in your community? Can parents influence their child's likelihood to vote?

a couple years ago after my friend had her baby girl the nurse came in to have my friend sign the regular papers one was for the birth cer. well the baby daddy pos that he was wanted a paternity test. my friend kept telling the nurse that he wasn't going to sign it but the nurse wasn't getting it. my friend started crying and the pos just stood there holding the baby not saying a word!!
so i agree with you on having a nurse that can understand you just as much as you can understand them!

I'm pretty sure none of your nurses are entirely speaking another language. If it's an issue of not understanding their accent, there is absolutely no reason you cannot try to clarify what they mean since people all over the country have varying accents that may be difficult to understand. I'm from the NW, and sometimes I can't understand some southern accents so I just make sure to clarify.
That being said, I probably wouldn't have been as annoyed by your post had you not been basically, "If you disagree with me I'll just ignore you and I don't give an eff."
SO yeah.
ETA: I get it if you can't understand them and it interferes with their care but bleh.
I also dont know if being prejudiced makes you less likely to be able to understand accents. I suppose it could make you less open to trying to understand but some people have better linguistic capabilities. Accents are hard in any language. When I first heard a Cuban speak Spanish I couldnt believe it was Spanish! It took a few weeks for me to fully adjust my ears.

Incognito Wants Second Chance in Miami
Former Miami Dolphins player Richie Incognito has been everything but quiet in?the wake of his time in rehab. The most recent news surrounding this accused bully is that?his treatment worked and now he wants to get back on the field.
According to WSVN in Miami, Incognito wants to come back to South Florida and play for the Miami Dolphins. He says he'll do almost anything to get back on the field.
He told the Miami news station, "returning to the Dolphins was my number one goal from the time I got suspended.?I want to return to the community in Miami and resume my playing career as soon as possible."
When asked why he went away for medical treatment he said it was needed.
"Because I was stressed. I believe in post traumatic stress syndrome, and I believe in private mental health care."
Incognito was accused of bullying his teammate Jonathan Martin which eventually?led Martin ?leaving the team. There was a full investigation by the NFL that determined Incognito and two other Miami Dolphins players engaged in continuous harassment of Martin. Incognito was suspended from the team and missed the final eight games. He then became a free agent when his contract with the Dolphins expired.
Incognito says he wants to start over.
"I want a clean slate. I'm at peace with everything that happened. I'm at peace with the attorneys and myself. Go to my Twitter page. I'm back online, and I'm not mad at anybody."
Martin recently signed with the San Francisco 49ers and Incognito is only saying positive things about his former teammate.
"I was excited. He always felt welcomed up there at Stanford and with Coach Harbaugh. So I said, you know what? He's got an opportunity that he can run with. He can go play. I think it's awesome. The bottom line is, I'm for the people, by the people, and I just want to go back to work."
For his fans in Miami, Incognito has one message and that is that he ready to be back.
"Dolphins fans, Richie is well. Richie wants to come back and play. But the business has to handle the business end, and that's it."
Is he though? Just look at his Twitter account and see for yourself.
Feels good to finally be #FREEEEEE
? Richie Incognito (@68INCOGNITO) March 19, 2014
Do you think he deserves a second chance?

^ I don't think he's being misused. Sure he's spent most of the year in GR, but it hasn't hurt his development or the organization.
Think about it. Has Nyquist look like a poorly developed prospect? Also, he's dominated the AHL and is a big reason why GR have done so well this year, and now he's here helping the big club. Double win IMO.
Seems like they've actually done well with bringing Goose along.
This is me being positive and optimistic. But whatevs.
That would imply Holland and Babcock know what they are doing, but thats impossible.... or is it?

Lord God, you inspired your servants John and Charles Wesley with burning zeal for the sanctification of souls, and endowed them with eloquence in speech and song; Kindle in your Church, we entreat you, such fervor, that those whose faith has cooled may be warmed, and those who have not known Christ may turn to him and be saved; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
5 And now the Lord says,
who formed me in the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him,
and that Israel might be gathered to him,
for I am honoured in the sight of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
6 he says,
'It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to restore the survivors of Israel;
I will give you as a light to the nations,
that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.'
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and do not forget all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the Pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
13 As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.
14 For he knows how we were made;
he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for mortals, their days are like grass;
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
11Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.* 12Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. 13Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.15Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly;* do not claim to be wiser than you are. 17Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.
2and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. 3He said to them, 'Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money—not even an extra tunic. 4Whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there. 5Wherever they do not welcome you, as you are leaving that town shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.' 6They departed and went through the villages, bringing the good news and curing diseases everywhere.

Gohl came to ARC with 20 years of experience in Pennsylvania state and local government. From 1975 to 1995, he held positions including executive assistant to the mayor of Harrisburg; elected member of the Harrisburg City Council; deputy secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs; and director of the Pennsylvania governor's Washington office. As deputy secretary, Gohl awarded and administered $100 million annually in housing and community development programs benefiting communities within the Appalachian Region. He also managed several initiatives to strengthen the capacity of rural local governments to meet economic challenges.
From 1996 to 2001, Gohl served as a special assistant, and then as an associate assistant secretary, at the U.S. Department of Labor. There he was responsible for the development and implementation of legislative strategy in the areas of immigration policy, employment standards, affirmative action and federal workers' compensation programs, and international affairs, including child labor and core labor standards.
From 2001 to 2009, Gohl was the director of government relations/deputy director for the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration, where he formulated legislative and executive branch initiatives related to taxes, economic security, health care, education, nutrition, environment, homeland security, labor, housing, and transportation.
In his Senate confirmation hearing, Gohl stated that his objective as ARC federal co-chair would be to ensure that each federal dollar expended by the Commission was "an investment in the economic future of Appalachian families that will generate a return for American taxpayers."
Gohl holds a bachelor of arts degree from Rider College (now Rider University) in New Jersey and a master of public administration degree from Pennsylvania State University.
