Match Report
Rob Nugent was sent off for two bookable offences as FC United slumped to a disappointing 3-1 defeat against lowly Worksop on Wednesday night in Ilkeston.
The game started slowly but the first chance fell to the Reds with captain David Chadwick having a header saved from a superb cross from Ben Morris. A minute later, the game turned, when Rob Nugent picked up his second yellow card for a second trip on a player he had got the wrong side of.
Worksop took the lead from the resultant free kick with a diving header by Daniel Bacon at the far post. The first half continued with United having most of the ball but with sloppy errors from players putting the team in trouble. Sam Ashton was called into action when he had to pluck a chip out of the air after a slip by Danny Warrender.
The second half started in a similar way to the first and it took 10 minutes for the first piece of action, with a run and shot from the hard working Ben Deegan that just flew wide.
On the hour mark, after a good spell of United pressure, Chaddy nearly got the Reds back on level terms with a header that was tipped round the post. From the corner, somehow the ball was played onto the bar, seemingly from a mix of a head of an attacker and the fingers of the keeper. From the rebound Worksop broke quickly and a mix up between Carden and Ashton gave Ben Tomlinson the chance to roll the ball into the empty net.
Despite this, United did continue to press for the goal to get back into the game, Carlos Roca having a shot wide and substitute Jake Cottrell stabbing the ball wide.
With having the extra man, Worksop were always capable of a breakaway and so it proved on 74 minutes when they broke down the left and the ball was fired home by Bacon from the edge of the box for his second of the night.
Tong did pull a goal back on 81 minutes and despite having the vast majority of the ball FC couldn't pull themselves back into the game with a lack of penetration and final ball being a problem.
United must now pick themselves up for their trip to North Ferriby in the second qualifying round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Mop Top Island is filled with food-come-to-life, but there are problems brewing in this surreal land that resembles the inside of a human body. The Sweets are threatening to take over and a peace conference has been called to prevent war. Two of the six delegates are in attendance, but where are the other four? Each delegate corresponds to a different food group, and Pajama Sam needs to help find characters such as Chuck Cheddar and Pierre LePain.
Littered throughout the Island are cookie box tops, and players help find 20 of them along the way. Other mini-games and activities include the Powdered Sugar Slopes that involve skiing down the slopes while avoiding rocks and signs, a Bean Counting and Sorting Machine, and Jumbled Jokes in which kids must help unscramble the punch lines to a comedian's jokes. There are more activities to be found throughout the game, but be sure to play the game in different pathways in order to play them all! The adventure can be different the next time around, though the general mission is the same.
Our copy came with an activity book and a Pajama Man comic book too! We always appreciate goodies inside those fair-sized software boxes.
Pajama Sam titles never fail to draw a (mostly) pint-sized crowd around the computer. This series is one of the most engaging and truly spectacular lines of software around. Pajama Sam is so personable that kids easily and readily identify with him he is curious, a little mischievous, and really quite polite and thoughtful, too.
Though this title is remarkably creative and original, its predecessors were slightly more so. The quality of the artwork is a little lower, and the adventure itself is a bit less challenging than the first two titles in the series. Though I personally find Pajama Sam 2 the best of the bunch, PS3 will not disappoint! It contains loads of visual appeal, delightful imagination, and opportunities for kids to put on their thinking caps without complaint. The nutritional theme is a practical one and helps kids learn the importance of a balanced diet. A secondary message is one about restoring order, negotiating, and making peace.
An important thing to remember is that the younger kids in the suggested age group will love to watch their older siblings play, and perhaps do a few simple things, but will not have the ability nor the follow-through to take on the challenges. This is probably perfect for kids aged 6-10, and even better when there is more than one child involved two or more heads are better than one. It is an excellent program for teamwork and collaboration.
Technically Speaking
Minimum requirements are Windows 95/98, a Pentium 90 processor , 16 Mb RAM, and 4X CD ROM. Mac users require an 80 MHz PowerPC with 16 Mb RAM, System 7.5.3 or higher, and at least 4X CD ROM.
Skills Covered
problem-solving, awareness of nutrition and the importance of a balanced diet, inductive and deductive reasoning, listening, decision-making, sequencing, memory
Educational Value
It doesn't cover typical curriculum, but it is a wonderful exercise in logic and critical thinking skills. Kids must complete multi-step tasks in order to complete this adventure.
Entertainment Value
A feast for the imagination on all levels, this title will entertain kids like few other programs on the market. The characters are heart-warming and quirky, the story line is fantastic, and Pajama Sam himself is great fun.
It doesn't take long for kids to figure out how to navigate through the program. Pressing F1 will pull up a detailed help screen when kids get really stuck.
The objects are randomized so that each game is different. As well, there are different pathways that create more challenges.
Dollar Value
Most parents will agree that the suggested retail price of $25 US is more than worth it.

A previously unheard of group is declaring jihad against the Manas Transit Center in Kyrgyzstan:
Мы не хотим быть рабами и жертвами праведной ответной атаки иранских ракет! Уже 10 лет нашу родную землю топчет сапог американского солдата. Центральный аэропорт страны, носящий имя Великодушного Манаса, превращен в склад и базу захватнической армии. Армия, которая ведет войну против наших братьев мусульман в Афганистане и Ираке, готовит удар по Ирану и Сирии. Кыргызские джигиты, братья узбеки, уйгуры, дунгане, татары, чеченцы и ингуши, русские братья, мы все, сообща, должны выкинуть с нашей страны позорное ярмо".
"We do not want to be slaves and victims of a justifiable Iranian missile counterattack! For 10 years, our native land was trampling under the boots of American soldiers. The central airport of the country, bearing the name of Manas the Generous, has been turned into the arsenal and base of an occupying army. The army that is waging war against our brother-Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq, is also preparing a strike on Iran and Syria. Kyrgyz horsemen, Uzbek brothers, Uighurs, Dungans, Tatars, Chechens and Ingush, Russian brothers, all of us, together, must throw away our country's shameful yoke."
The group calls itself the "Muslim Resistance Committee of Kyrgyzstan," and the group urges Kyrgyz workers at Manas to wage jihad on Manas by diluting kerosene, breaking equipment, poisoning food, and killing Americans (I cannot independently confirm that any of these things have actually happened yet). The Committee has issued an ultimatum to newly inaugurated president Atambaev: remove the Americans from Manas, or they will remove him from office.
Is it an interesting statement (full text here, in Russian), if only for being grounded in Atambaev's own Iran-based fear of an attack on Kyrgyz territory. It is also part of a broader system of increasingly heated political rhetoric by politicians of all stripes in Kyrgyzstan.
But there also seems to be a growing consensus that there's actually very little Muslim about the Resistance Committee. In the link above, Vesti.kg quotes several religious scholars who had never heard of this group before; it also has no known ties to international terrorism. Each religious scholar Vesti.kg quoted speculates that it is really a political group trying to oppose the American military base while couching its opposition in religious terms.
Last month there was a small rally outside the U.S. Embassy in Bishkek which demanded Manas be closed down immediately. Those rallies rarely seem to excite more than token interest from mainstream Kyrgyzstan, however.
Maybe this new Resistance Committee thinks it can get more attention if it couches its political demands in religious terms. There is a tendency to assign relatively banal or small scale incidents in Kyrgyzstan Religious Significance to establish a threat. The biggest downside to this, which the Resistance Committee might not realize, is that turning resistance to Manas into a jihad issue will not exactly make the U.S. military want to leave — rather, it will make the U.S. military want to stay even longer to make sure it has neutralized the "jihad threat."
From a strategic perspective the Resistance Committee is not angling for success, in other words. Also? When Vesti.kg is the only outlet reporting on a group it's fair to question if that group really exists or if it's just an artifact of a letter writing campaign or some ominous internet postings. No one seems to know who or what this Resistance Committee is, save that it's probably not worth paying attention to.
So no, there probably is not a new jihad threat in Kyrgyzstan. There probably is, however, a marginal political group desperately angling for relevance. Doesn't sound quite so ominous now, does it?

Fein Brothers gives back with Soup Kitchen Makeover
Fein Brothers, 2007 N. Martin Luther King Dr., has sold food service equipment to restaurants and cooks of all kinds for 85 years. In honor of the anniversary, the staff wanted to do something to give back.
Todd Minkin says he and his co-owner, cousin Ben Minkin, called a staff meeting at which the 15 employees came up with the idea of a Soup Kitchen Makeover.
Fein Brothers partnered with other food service industry professionals and will give away thousands of dollars worth of kitchen supplies and equipment to non-profit meal sites in Southeastern Wisconsin.
To apply, meal site coordinators sign up here through Friday, May 23, and every registered site will receive a gift basket of kitchen supplies valued around $200. Businesses or individuals who want to donate items can do so through Saturday, May 31.
The online form asks for basic information about the meal program and why it should receive a kitchen makeover. There is also a "kitchen wish list" section so the makeover will be tailored for the particular site's needs.
Minkin, along with other food service industry sponsors, will then tour the facilities and pick one (or possibly more than one) meal site to completely remodel with new appliances, storage shelving, stainless steel work tables, utensils and whatever else they need to provide the best service.
"We are looking for the site or sites most in need," says Minkin.
Minkin bought Fein Brothers in 2009 after working for the business for 25 years. He started sweeping floors as a kid and later drove a delivery truck during summer vacations and eventually became a full-time employee of the company. His father worked for Fein Brothers for 50 years.
Fein Brothers has been in business since 1929 and has expanded many times. It currently has 30,000 square feet of showroom space with an additional 30,000 square feet of warehouse space.
The showroom stocks more than 60,000 kitchen-related items.
All of the meal site coordinators will be invited to an event in June at Rail Hall, owned by Gravity Marketing, where the winner will be announced. The exact date and time of the event will soon be announced.
"Anyone in the community who participates in the Soup Kitchen Makeover in any way is invited to the event," says Minkin.
Fein Brothers continues to thrive despite the strong presence of chain suppliers. Minkin says what sets Fein Brothers apart from other larger companies is pretty simple.
"There is a lot of competition but our customers appreciate our extremely high level of customer service," says Minkin.
The fact the business is based in Milwaukee has been key to the company's success.
"This is a community that really understands and supports local business," says Minkin. "It embraces businesses like Fein Brothers. Because of this, Milwaukee has allowed us to be in business for this many years. And that is exactly why we have chosen to give back to the community."
Fein Brothers is open Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

CREATIVE youngsters are being urged to put pen to paper for this year's York and Area Pre-school Art Competition.
The competition, which is run by Terrington Hall School, in association with The Press and its sister paper, the Gazette & Herald, is in its third year.
It has proved a big success with nurseries and pre-school children, aged two to four, from across Ryedale, York and the surrounding area.
Last year, more than 500 artwork entries were submitted on the subject of best-selling children's book Aliens Love Underpants, by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort.
This year, with the early years' theme of minibeasts as its focus, the competition offers even more scope for young imaginations, said Veronica Whitfield, head of Terrington Hall Junior School.
She said: "There are so many subjects to choose from – butterflies, ladybirds, dragonflies, snails, worms, centipedes, bees, ants or grasshoppers – and a wealth of books to encourage children's natural artistic creativity.
"Nursery favourites at Terrington Hall include Eric Carle's timeless The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the rhyming text and bold illustrations of Mad about Minibeasts! by Giles Andreae and David Wojtowycz and the delightful Superworm by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler."
This year entries will be judged by children's books illustrator and artist Simon Mendez.
Simon studied art at York Technical College, before gaining a degree in scientific and natural history illustration from Blackpool College. His varied career has ranged from advertising to illustrating children's books, for which he has won a number of awards, including successive years at the Association of Illustrators. He lives in Terrington with his wife, five-year-old twins and Dillon the dog.
Mr Mendez said: "I am thrilled to have been asked to judge the competition. I have plans to illustrate a book on bugs later this year so it's a good chance to keep an eye on the rising competition from the younger generation."
Once again, artwork entries, including paintings or collages, are welcomed from nursery and pre-school children.
This year, every entrant will receive a ten per cent discount voucher from new competition sponsor, Hobbycraft.
Each child's work will be considered and Hobbycraft vouchers totalling £120 awarded to the leading young artists at ages two, three and four and to the nurseries or registered pre-school they attend.
For the best overall entry from across all age groups, vouchers totalling £225 will be awarded to the child and their nursery or registered pre-school. There will also be ten £10 vouchers for highly-commended artists.
The prizes have been sponsored by local businesses Barnitts, Minster Alarms, Ray Chapman Motors and Rodgers of York, as well as Hobbycraft.
All entries will be on display at Terrington Hall School on Saturday, June 7, when Simon Mendez will be on hand to present the prizes for the most imaginative entries. Doors open at 10.30am. The fun-filled family morning will include children's craft activities and light refreshments. All are welcome.
Jon Glen, Terrington Hall head teacher, said: "I am looking forward once again to viewing the entries for this competition.
"We are honoured that Simon Mendez has agreed to be our judge and I look forward to welcoming the competitors and their families to the exhibition."
Individuals, nurseries and pre-schools (such as registered playgroups and registered childminders) wishing to take part should phone Terrington Hall School on 01653 648227 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for an entry form. Closing date for receipt of entry forms is Friday, March 14. Closing date for receipt of artwork is Wednesday, April 30.

I am completely thrilled with this wonderful and very precise tutorial. I have been using illustrator for number of years now but i have a learn a lot of new Technics in this lesson and i am quite sure many experience users will find this very refreshing and can enhance your skills to another level.
I am a graphic designer and illustrator raised in the Great Northwest, now living in Austin, Texas with my wife and two little kids. After graduating with a BFA in graphic design, I started my career as an information designer and illustrator at Column Five Media. The digital illustration courses I took in college paid off, as I found that more and more clients were requesting illustration work in their designs. Merging both skills together I have been able attract all types of work, including my work in advertising at Arnold Worldwide.
Now, my wife and I run our own design and illustration studio full-time, named Brave the Woods. We also started the company Artists for Education, which brings artists together to create beautifully designed, educational artwork for teachers' classrooms and your living room.
You can also find me on Dribbble, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.

Bulls are probably the only team that I absolutely don't want to see win. I don't feel completely one way about the rest of the teams.
Oops. I read the poll wrong. Now I feel like a big dummy head.

I want Dallas to win for sure. I always have liked Dirk, Kidd, and Peja.
I voted for the Lakers as the team I don't want to win. I've hated them ever since the 2000 Finals.
I don't know how anyone isn't repulsed by the Lakers.
I dislike many of the remaining teams, but I don't care who wins the championship as long as it's not the Lakers.
NO lakers, NO bulls, NO celtics. Like thers have said, they've had theirs.
I would love to see OKC or Dallas from the west and Miami and Atl from the east.
I want OKC or Dallas to win it all, but I wouldn't be disappointed if Miami did either. I think the amount of unwarranted hate they get makes me root for them.
I hope Miami and Atlanta play in the eastern conf. finals and OKC and Dallas play in the western conf. finals.
If OKC makes it out of the west, then I will root for them, otherwise I will root for who ever makes it out of the east.
I'm rooting for the Grizzlies, but realistically, the Thunder will probably win the series. Both are likable teams so I'm happy for whoever wins.
However, my argument about Miami is more holistic: I fundamentally recoil at their overall strategy to wipe the slate clean, salary-wise, and then go out and buy an entire team of free agents all at once. Teams like Miami and New York can do that because of location (marketing opportunities, climate, nightlife, etc.). Indiana and most other teams do not have that option ... and I would gag (out of we-drafted-him loyalty principles) even if we could.
Not a chance of happening, but I want Memphis and Atlanta in the finals.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
I never had an issue with the Lakers(well except in 2000 of course) they have always been an interesting team to watch through the years and well namely despite my disdain for Phil(who doesn't bother me now as much as he did on the Bulls) and Artest(you really shouldn't have to ask why) I still have no issue with rooting for the Lakers.
Kobe is also one of my favorite players and I'm all for him getting more rings than Jordan if possible.
In that order.
No Boston or Jokelahoma City. Other than that I'm good.
Jokelahoma City? Really?

I find all the Miami hate hilarious. Honestly they are the team I am rooting for now. OKC is a close second though.
Yes, the Miami hate is quite annoying.
Follow me at @Bluejbgold
I agree mostly, but I still like OKC better.

I like D. Rose as a person and as a player , but I absolutely DETEST him as competition.. He is absolutely tough, can put a team on his back if need be, and has a killer instinct in crunchtime.. I guess in that aspect, I hate/like him exactly like I did Michael Jordan.. (NOTE: I'm not comparing him to MJ basketball-wise)
The only good thing that would come out of ChI winning it all, is knowing that they were the ones that knocked us out, but that we absolutely took it to them and made them EARN IT.. Other than that I can understand the feeling of not wanting them to win.. Me, I am indifferent to it either way..
I don't want Miami , Lakers nor Boston to win it all.. If Boston won , I'd just be glad it wasnt Lakers or Miami .. lol .. the lesser of the 3 evils ..if you will.. lmao
There are however a few teams that are still in the playoffs, whom I'd like to see win the championship..
Dallas .. I'd like to see Dirk FINALLY get a ring, I think he deserves it..
OKC .. I like Durant , and this team has been fun to watch over last few years. IT would be nice to see this young team do well..
Memphis .. The underdogs , this team has been dangerous in the playoffs thus far.. plus this is the 1st time that Memphis has made it out of the 1st round ...... EVER! ..Gotta love Z-Bo averaging like 26 and 12, or close to.. while playing like a superstar..

"They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football." - T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos
I want to see them get to the Finals because it will be very entertaining to see them play whoever comes out of the West.
If it becomes LA-MIA, I can just see the story lines already:
"Kobe takes down the King of South Beach and his royal friends to cement his place in history"
"The King stomps down the Black Mamba on way to first ring"
If it became OKC-MIA, then the story lines would definitely be about how the two teams are both great but built completely differently.
Dirk's been the best player so far during the playoffs. He's been absolutely killing teams in the 4th quarter. Isn't that another gear?

Water distribution has been an issue in Guernsey County for as long as we can remember, so it was welcome news a couple of weeks ago when the commissioners filed an application with the Court of Common Pleas for the establishment of the Guernsey County Regional Water District.
Under Ohio law, Courts of Common Pleas are responsible for deciding the validity of requests to set up such water districts.
This application was filed on behalf of Western Guernsey Services Co. Inc., which currently serves water customers in western Guernsey County and eastern Muskingum County.
The water district designation would allow them to be classified as a local government entity, said Commissioner Steve Allen. It would give them options regarding seeking funding, such as applying for grants. They would be designated a district area to serve the townships they already serve, similar to a political subdivision. But, it would not change their service area
Many forward-thinking individuals in Guernsey County have been preaching the virtues of regionalizing water services here for years. There has been misguided reluctance in some quarters to embrace a regionalized water system because to them it looks like a power grab.
That is not the case. The truth is that centralizing water services in the county is the only sensible way to solve an old and nagging problem and move ahead.

Amazing Alaska: Star Princess Cruise Review by Sky&Health
Overall Member Rating
Amazing Alaska
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
Boarding in Seattle was simple and efficient. We were on deck 12, Aloha, so information requested we arrive at terminal at 130 pm which we did. Process took about 1 hour from unloading off the shuttle to waiting in line at the lunch buffet.
Cabin was nice and this great price was for a balcony cabin which we enjoyed. The weather on the trip was unbelievably good so we really got to enjoy the balcony. Early or late season trips would render the balcony not very usable due to cold. This ship is built a little different. Most of the bars are on deck 7 and rooms from 8-12. As a result you get to walk a lot of stairs or wait for the elevator. Buffet was on More standard Lido Deck, 14, so it was an easy walk up one flight of stairs to pool, buffet etc. Health club on 15 and our cabin was forward so no excuse not to go to the treadmill.
Once we got use to the ship layout we enjoyed it. We did go to the Crown Grill one night on a last minute idea. They were able to accommodate us and we had a very nice meal of surf and turf. Service was ok but not great. Waited almost half hour from salad to entre being served. Had no place to go so it wasn't really a problem but just seemed like a long time.
As previous reviews have mentioned, the Princess singer and dancers where only fair. I have seen more impressive acts on other cruise lines. Saw one of the comedians and he was good. Normal activities during the day were standard fare for any cruise lines. We did not participate in the movie on deck. Great idea if weather was good. It was on our cruise but often cool on deck being Alaska.
Greatest thrill of the cruise was Capt. McBain's decision not to go to Tracy Arm as scheduled due to 3 other ships in the fjord. Instead we went to Endicott fjord and the Dawes glacier. Oh my God. We got 300 yards from the glacier and just as we arrived it caved an iceberg then a rare shooter iceberg. A shooter is a chunk of ice from beneath the glacier which come shooting up from under water. Very rare event. Then 3-4 more caving events and another shooter! According to the Captain you could come to Alaska 20 years and not see a shooter and we got two!
Didn't do much of anything in Juneau as we had been there previously. Go to Mendenhall Glacier if it's your first visit. In Skagway we did the Yukon and White Pass train to the top of the mountain. Really nice. Highly recommend this trip. Ketchikan was a previous stop so didn't do anything except see a dentist as my wife chipped a tooth. He wasn't able to do much but was very kind and helpful. Victoria was new and I walked into town. Took about 30 minutes and got to see some of the local neighborhoods. Beautiful evening so enjoyed the street festivals going on and walked back to the boat.
Disembarkation was very simple. We chose to do standard process and get bags on the dock. Our flight home was not until mid afternoon so we waited in the assigned Crown Grill. Used Seattle Express Shuttle from the hotel to the ship and from the ship to the airport. Great service. Use them if flying in, 206-793-8430. Charge is $12 per person each way. It's important to make a reservation on front end as the service fills up. Cab is $30 or more and last stop on the light rail from the airport is still a long way to Pier 91 so $2.75 train ticket and taxi plus hassle factor isn't worth it. Use seattleexpress.com.
For those of you considering an Alaska cruise. This ship or Holland America Westerdam from Seattle is really the way to go. You get to experience most of Alaska unless Denali is really important to you. Denali is really cool and we did it on the previous trip but airfares get expensive flying into or out of Fairbanks and Vancouver. Glad we did Princess and will likely try them again. Nice mix of people, food ok, not as nice as Holland and ship is large, 2700 people versus 1900 with Holland. We are not a fan of larger ships especially the new mega ships. This cruise should really be on your bucket list. Alaska is really an amazing place. Less

Every five years the British Deer Society undertakes a survey plotting the current distribution of all species of deer wild in Great Britain and Northern Ireland and uses it to monitor and record changes from the previous survey to see if the range has changed or expanded.
Data is collected from various sources. Help is asked not just from BDS's own members but from everyone with a shared interest including wildlife groups, government departments, the general public and most importantly from the countryside and stalking fraternity who recognise the deer species and can contribute good accurate information.
The mapped results show both overall distribution and changes in range of the various species over the five years since the last survey.
Over the decades the mapped results have been acknowledged as the accredited record of where deer are located wild within the UK. The BDS maps are used widely by scientists, researchers, students and the media and have appeared in books, scientific publications and been used to illustrate a number of countryside TV programmes.
The survey can now be carried out online, which we hope will ensure wider cross-country participation enabling BDS to produce an even more accurate picture of the presence of deer species across the UK.
Please participate in the 2016 survey
The 2016 survey is currently underway so please do participate at www.bdsdeersurvey.org.uk.
In case you are not sure what species of deer you are looking at, within the survey tool you can access images of all deer species to assist with accurate identification. You can also use the guides below.
For 2016 we are also looking at where reindeer have been seen, whether wandering wild, living in zoos, farms and collections, or even visiting shopping centres at Christmas.

"This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
--T. S. Eliot, The Hollow Men
The level of maturity of the New Atheism movement was on florid display at the national convention of the Freedom From Religion Foundation this past weekend in Seattle. A high point apparently was a "non-prayer breakfast," where six hundred attendees were reminded of the oppressive civic functions where people often are asked to bow their heads for a moment of silence. Instead, the atheists were encouraged to exhibit a moment of "bedlam", shouting, clinking glasses and who knows what? How liberating!
A top draw attraction at the convention was Ron Reagan, a middle-aged "unabashed atheist" who is best known for....well, for being a son of President Ronald Reagan, who was a favorite target of people like the conventioneers. President Reagan often ended his speeches with the benediction, "May God bless America." Ron derives whatever significance he enjoys from repudiating his father's worldview. It's not much of a gig, is it? And it also is not much of a threat.
The other good news for non-atheists is that the chief philanthropy of the New Atheism--its most heartfelt project, in fact--seems to be....bus signs. Richard Dawkins is using profits from his books for the signs. Lesser-known, latter-day Clarence Darrows and H. L. Menckens likewise are using their savings to invest in bus cards that sally forth in cities from London to Seattle. The seasonal placards now up in Seattle announce that, "Yes, Virginia, there is no God."
We also are to be treated to bus messages from Thomas Jefferson that "Religions are all alike--founded on fables and mythologies." And from Benjamin Franklin: "The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason."
It is hard to gauge who might be the audience for these bus cards, however. For example, how does one make anything of the sign that says, "Yes, Virginia, there is no God," unless he knows a little American history? (The New York Sun in 1897 ran an editorial that answered a letter to the editor from a little girl asking if Santa Claus exists). You are not going to know what the "no God" bus signs are satirizing if you don't know the history. Thanks largely to the ACLU, hardly any young people today know any history with religious content, let alone the charming, "Yes, Virginia story." That means that the average person seeing the bus signs about Virginia will have no idea what is going on (or care).
As for Jefferson and Franklin, the bus card quotations are out of context and give the false impression that the two men in question--ranking near the top of the pantheon of American founders--were atheists. They weren't. They were not conventional Christians, but they were Diests who believed in God.
At the Constitutional Convention it was Franklin who proposed "a three-day adjournment to cool tempers," supplemented by the hiring of a chaplain, who would "introduce the business of each day by an address to the Creator of the universe, and the Governor of all nations, beseeching Him to preside in our council, enlighten our minds with a portion of heavenly wisdom, influence our hearts with a love of truth and justice, and crown our labors with complete and abundant success!''
And it was Franklin who stated,
"'If Men are so wicked as we now see them with Religion what would they be if without it?'"
Then there is Thomas Jefferson. In his first inaugural address he said that Americans were "(E)nlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man; acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter—with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?"
Also, this:
'''And may that Infinite Power which rules the destinies of the universe lead our councils to what is best, and give them a favorable issue for your peace and prosperity."
Some atheist.
It is probably too much to expect the New Atheists and their foundations to put the real, considered and settled religious views of people like Jefferson and Franklin on their bus cards. Pity.
But, on the other hand, if such is how they want to spend their money, may they spend it all that way!
This is the way their world ends,
Not with a Big Bang, but wimpy bus signs.

Just an observation . . . The label "balls" links to four blog entries, which tells us something about the kind of year we've been having in children's lit. But this is apparently the first time Roger has--in his own estimation--taken the kind of risk that might reasonably lead to eternal damnation. . . at least since he started using these cool labels.

AIKEN - Plans for a center highlighting the history of the Savannah River Site and the people who were displaced to make room for the nuclear facility are gaining momentum.
Although years away from opening, the proposed Heritage Center is being designed.
After that comes the hard part, said J.W. Joseph, a board member of the SRS Heritage Foundation. That's when the group will start raising the money needed to retrofit a building on SRS property for the center to house 30,000 artifacts.
Mr. Joseph said he's recently received initial designs showing how the parking lot will look and where exterior exhibit space will be located.
The center, he said, will not be open for four years.
"That's two years roughly for fundraising, less than a year for design and a year for construction," Mr. Joseph said.
Though organizers don't know how much money it will cost to retrofit the building, "we estimate that it will be several million dollars. But we don't know that yet," Mr. Joseph said.
He said the foundation plans to lease from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The site chosen for the center is behind security fences on SRS property.
Jim Giusti, a DOE spokesman, said the agency no longer is using the building. Once the center is located there, the department will make it accessible to the public.
The Heritage Center will feature indoor and outdoor exhibit space, classrooms, a lecture hall, gift shop, food court and resource center for people researching family members who were forced to move in the 1950s.
When SRS moved into southern Aiken County, federal officials forced 6,000 residents to move from the town of Ellenton and surrounding communities.
Most of the artifacts the foundation plans to display are being stored in an unused reactor building at SRS, Mr. Joseph said.
The board does not know how the center will fund its operations, and a "nominal" entry fee might be required by the public to help defer costs.
"We'll have to set up some sort of endowment," he said.

At Least 13 Fires Set Overnight In Lancaster
Investigators were questioning some people about a rash of fires that occurred early Thursday.
At least 13 fires were reported on the city's south and east sides, 10TV's Tino Ramos reported.
A house fire was reported that forced a family outside, along with cars and trash can blazes.
SLIDESHOW: Images From Scenes
The first fire calls were reported shortly after 1 a.m., Ramos reported.
Each location appeared to be signs of arson, including multiple fires that occurred on the same street.
"We got out," said Micki McGee, a homeowner whose house caught fire. "People doing this need to get caught. If we didn't wake up, our kids could have died. This is ridiculous. They need to stop this stuff."
No arrests were immediately made, Ramos reported.

In the hours leading up to July 31st's MLB trade deadline, it was uncertain if the Cardinals would make another move after acquiring Justin Masterson from the Cleveland Indians. Some thought bringing in a new hitter should be the move, while some thought the Cardinals should go after the big prizes like David Price, Jon Lester or Cole Hammels. The St. Louis Cardinals did neither. Instead, they went after 35 year old right-handed pitcher John Lackey of the Boston Red Sox. In exchange the Cardinals sent outfielder Allen Craig and pitcher Joe Kelly to the BoSox.
Through this season, Lackey does have much better numbers than Masterson. Lackey brings a 3.60 ERA to St. Louis compared to Masterson's horrible 5.51. Lackey also had a good season last year finishing with a 3.52 ERA after having two bad first seasons with the Red Sox. If you go back even further to his days with the Los Angeles Angles, he was solid, successful pitcher.
Lackey will not wow anyone with a high number of strikeouts like Masterson is capable of, but he is effective and doesn't walk too many hitters. At least if you were to compare the two pitchers' walks per nine innings ratio, Lackey's 2.1 easily beats Masterson's horrendous 5.1.
Another big difference between the two is the team that they were traded away from. Lackey pitched on two very successful and talented teams while Masterson has been with struggling the Indians organization for all but two of his major league seasons. Now both pitchers have been removed from their failing teams this season and are thrown into the thick of the NL Central playoff race.
Even with good numbers for this season, it is still hard to justify trading away Craig, who was signed to a financial-friendly contract and Joe Kelly who is only 26 years old. And then to only get a guy who is 35 years old and has an expiring contract. But there are two sides, negatives and positives of this trade.
The negatives first? Well for starters he is 35 years old to start and most likely won't be resigned after 2014 or 2015 unless he takes a big pay cut. But the biggest negative is not what the Cardinals received, it's what they had to give up. Yes Craig is struggling right now, but the Cardinals should make the playoffs and if they do, they need a bat like Craig's in clutch situations. There might not be anyone else on the team who the Redbirds will want at the plate in tight game, 8th or 9th inning and the tying runner sitting at second base. Craig has been nothing but full of big, clutch hits during his post season experiences with the Cardinals. Then we make our way to Joe Kelly. If fans don't remember, Kelly was the guy the Cardinals leaned on during the final stretch of last season. He performed admirably and was a big reason why the Redbirds made the postseason. Kelly is only 26 years old and should be the least of a general managers problems when it comes to money and contracts. Kelly is not an expensive arm to have on the roster. The St. Louis Cardinals lost two critical pieces of their ball team.
While two fan favorites were traded away, there are a couple positives to take from this trade. First off, Lackey is very cheap for the 2015 season at only $500,000 due to a special clause in his contract if the Cardinals choose to pick up the option. The biggest positive though is that Oscar Taveras will not have to worry about playing time. At 22 years old and being considered the best hitting prospect in the organization since Albert Pujols, there is some weight on his shoulders no matter what anyone says. Taveras will not have to worry anymore about going 0-4 at the plate and being benched the next day because of it. This now will give Taveras a chance to break out of his slump and help the Cardinals reach the postseason. Whether you like it or not, Taveras will out produce what Craig gave the Cardinals during the 2014 season.
Another positive comes from the fact that there was a log jam in the starting rotation when pitchers are healthy. Some don't realize that Kevin Siegrist is actually a starting pitcher. With Jaime Garcia always hurt, Siegrist could thrive as the lefty in the starting rotation with Kelly gone. In the minors, Siegrist went 22-11 with a 2.74 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. The Cardinals have yet to use Seigrist in the rotation, but if Shelby Miller and Carlos Martinez continue to struggle, he will get his chance eventually. Kevin Siegrist would be the perfect fit in an already good rotation.
There are definitely mixed emotions about this trade from fans, people within the organization and even the players. But the Cardinals made this trade to help a struggling back end of the rotation and to give the highly touted Oscar Taveras more playing time. If Lackey pitches as well as he has for Boston the past season and a half, it should be enough to help the Cardinals get to the postseason. Just getting to the playoffs might not be enough to satisfy Cardinal Nation after giving up two fan favorites and players that still have good years ahead of them. Only time will tell if the Cardinals regret this trade or if it propels them to and through the playoffs.
Seeing your team play in the SuperBowl is priceless. Watching the SuperBowl live in the stands for $1 per week is beyond priceless. Find out how at TicketScore.com, the future of Championship Tickets.

Geof Stone on Constitutionality of NSA's Bulk Telephony Metadata Program, Part II
Is the NSA's Bulk Telephony Meta-Data Program Constitutional: PART II
In my last post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/is-the-nsas-bulk-telepho…), I described the evolution of Fourth Amendment doctrine to set the stage for analysis of the constitutionality of the NSA's bulk telephony meta-data program. As we saw, in thinking about the Fourth Amendment, the initial question turns on the meaning of the word "search."
To briefly review, a "search" historically was understood to be a physical intrusion into a physical space. The paradigm was a search of someone's home or briefcase. In the 1960s, the Supreme Court decided that, in light of modern methods of invading privacy, that definition was too narrow. It therefore re-defined a "search" for Fourth Amendment purposes as an effort by the government to obtain information about an individual that violates society's "reasonable expectations of privacy." Under this new definition, wiretapping, which had been held not to be a "search" under the traditional definition, was for the first time brought within the scope of the Fourth Amendment.
But that gave rise to a new question: How should "reasonable expectations of privacy" be defined? As a baseline, the Court assumed that methods of obtaining information that were known to the Framers and were not thought by the Framers to be "searches" should not be deemed "searches" under the new definition. Rather, the Court's primary concern was with new methods of invading privacy that, if left outside the scope of the Fourth Amendment, could dramatically shrink the degree of privacy that individuals had historically enjoyed.

South Dakota Editorial Roundup
We're 'red,' but not like Wyo.
South Dakota is not far behind Wyoming as one of the most conservative states in the nation. Our neighbor to the west takes the top prize, while we rank fourth.
Otherwise, there are several degrees of separation, according to the latest Gallup poll.
Wyoming also tops the nation when it comes to anti-Obama sentiment. South Dakota didn't make the top 10.
And our Republican leanings aren't nearly as strong as Wyoming's, where 56 percent of respondents identified themselves as Republicans, or leaning toward Republican beliefs, compared with South Dakota's 45 percent.
To put that in context, a Democratic candidate in Wyoming faces a disadvantage of minus 28 percentage points, compared with minus 7 in South Dakota. When it comes to Republican states, Wyoming comes in second to Utah. South Dakota is ninth.
It's no revelation that South Dakota is a conservative Republican state.
What's interesting about the poll results is that we're more conservative than we are Republican, reflecting a more independent nature in thinking that doesn't necessarily align with party politics.
In fact, at the end of last year, the combined number of South Dakotans who described themselves as moderate (36.1 percent) or liberal (15.8 percent) outnumbered self-described conservatives (44.4 percent).
Those numbers have since moved in reverse, with 50 percent weighing in as conservative versus 46 percent moderate or liberal.
That same trend is happening nationwide as exuberance generated by the last presidential election wears thin.
What does that mean for Democratic candidates up for election this year in South Dakota?
They've got a fighting chance, though very slim, mainly because a fair number of South Dakota conservatives belong to the Democratic party. And they think for themselves.
That's something to be proud of in this polarized political world. It also indicates that even though South Dakota is staunchly conservative, it's not as red as some might think.
... One interesting footnote to all of the numbers is the fact that the tea party movement has such a heavy presence of conservative Republicans, that one political analyst described it this way: ... the tea party movement is more a rebranding of core Republicanism than a new or distinct entity on the political scene."
How the tea party will impact the November election also remains to be seen. Gallup's latest research indicates it will be less than expected.

Dams need priority in S.D.
The washout of Rose Hill Dam recently raises again the issue of dam safety in South Dakota.
The dam was part of the Rose Hill Lake public area in Hand County along Sand Creek, about 10 miles south of Wessington. Rose Hill was managed by the state Game, Fish and Parks Department and promoted by GFP as a public fishing area. ...
The Legislature two years ago left the matter of dam repairs largely in the hands of local governments and local users, even though the state Office of School and Public Lands and GFP have responsibility for many of these Depression-era dams. ...
Dam safety frankly has been one big dodge at the state Capitol in recent years, as shown during the struggles to get money for an engineering study of Richmond Dam in Brown County and two other dams elsewhere.
Legislators said they didn't want to open the door to too many funding requests for dam repairs. The state agencies' managers claimed they don't have the money in their budgets for repairs.
It comes down to a matter of priorities. ...
It's human nature to spend money on new things, while deferring maintenance and improvements on what you already own. What happened at Rose Hill was an act of nature. We don't know yet whether anything could have been done differently at Rose Hill.
We do know that dam safety overall needs to be a higher priority and needs to be handled differently and better, starting right now.

CHERRIES manager Eddie Howe admitted to having had mixed feelings about Tokelo Rantie's international exertions with South Africa.
Howe said Rantie's experience of facing Brazil in a friendly would be "priceless", but also described his gruelling travelling schedule as "far from ideal".
Striker Rantie lined up in the first half of Bafana Bafana's 5-0 defeat on Wednesday and spent around 24 hours flying to and from Johannesburg for the clash.
Rantie was due to return to Bournemouth last night before today linking up with the Cherries squad for a flight to the North West ahead of tomorrow's Championship showdown with Blackpool.
Howe told the Daily Echo: "The amount of travelling in the middle of the week was far from ideal in preparation for a game of this importance.
"It is a great experience for him to play for his country, especially when you look at his past two games which were against Spain and Brazil.
"Those experiences will be priceless and something he will remember, probably for his entire career.
"While they are great experiences, there are two sides to it. From our perspective, we want the player in the best physical shape we can get and that won't be the case."
Howe said he would also assess Ryan Fraser ahead of naming his squad to face Blackpool, the winger having played and scored for Scotland under-21s in their 2-2 draw with Hungary in Dundee on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old Aberdonian, who won his third cap for the under-21s, had a much less punishing timetable than Rantie and arrived back in Bournemouth yesterday before spending the day recharging his batteries.
Howe added: "It was great to see him play and score for his country because it will do him the world of good.
"We had someone at the game and were really pleased for him. He is highly thought of by his country and, again, those experiences will be really important in his future development.
"It is just a case of trying to manage Ryan and make sure he is fit enough and fresh enough to play.
"We will take everything into consideration, I think it would be foolish not to. But, ultimately, we will have to speak to the players concerned to see how they feel and then make a decision.
"I will not make any decision on the players until after I have spoken to them so we will wait and see."

FM: India Won't Back Iraq Sanctions
India will never back the sanctions imposed on Iraq, Minister of External Affairs Jaswant Singh told journalists in Delhi, quoted by Novosty news agency.
It is India's firm belief that these sanctions are ineffective and harmful for the Iraqi people, he added.
According to the minister, introduction of the so-called no-fly zones was in no way sanctioned by United Nations Security Council's resolutions.
"We have always objected to these sanctions, although we do think Iraq must fulfill the appropriate resolutions of the UN Security Council," stressed Singh.
The UK, backed by the US, has suggested that UN sanctions on Iraq be lifted, but a ban on weapons imports is to remain in place.
Iraq's revenues from oil sales would be under UN supervision, according to the plan, which has so far been held up by Iraq, China, Russia and France – Albawaba.com

Pittsburgh -- American Eagle Outfitters' second-quarter net income more than doubled to $19.7 million from $9.7 million in the year-ago period. The teen retailer credited the jump on increased revenue, growing online sales and fewer markdowns.
Revenue for the period ended July 30 rose 4 percent to $675.7 million from $651.5 million, surpassing Wall Street's $652 million estimate. Same-store sales were flat compared with a 1% decline in the prior-year period.
Revenue for AEO Direct, which includes ae.com, aerie.com and 77kids.com, rose 16% on increased traffic and a higher conversion rate.
The chain said that increased cotton costs will likely squeeze its merchandise margin during the period.
