An Exploration of Iranian Leadership DynamicsThe U.S. ability to "read" the Iranian regime and formulate appropriate policies has been weakened by lack of access to the country and by the opacity of decisionmaking in Tehran. To improve understanding of Iran's political system, the authors describe Iranian strategic culture; investigate Iran's informal networks, formal government institutions, and personalities; assess the impact of elite
Exploring the Reach and Limitations of Iranian Power in the Middle EastIn an analysis grounded in the observation that although Iranian power projection is marked by strengths, it also has serious liabilities and limitations, this report surveys the nature of both in four critical areas and offers a new U.S. policy paradigm that seeks to manage the challenges Iran presents through the exploitation of regional barriers to its power and sources of caution in the regime
Assessing the Domestic Roles of IranA's Islamic Revolutionary Guards CorpsBoth high import payments for petroleum motor fuels and concerns regarding emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are motivating interest in possible fuel substitutes. Petroleum products derived from conventional crude oil constitute more than 50 percent of end-use energy deliveries in the United States and more than 95 percent of all energy used in the U.S. transportation sector. Almost 60 percent of
Political Islam in the Age of DemocratizationAs a wave of popular unrest toppled autocratic rulers across the Middle East and North Africa, many in the West watched with growing concern as Islamists came to power. The continued prominence of Islam in the struggle for democracy in the Muslim world has confounded Western democracy theorists, who largely consider secularism a prerequisite for democratic transition. In Political Islam in the Age
Iranian Foreign Policy Since 2001
Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern PoliticsExamining Iranian foreign policy, with a focus on the years since 2001, this book analyses the defining feature of Iran's international and regional posture, its strategic loneliness, and the implications of this for the Islamic Republic's foreign policy. Iranian Foreign Policy since 2001 offers an in-depth analysis of the key drivers behind Iran's foreign policy; power, strategic culture, and
Guardians of the Revolution:Iran and the World in the Age of the AyatollahsFor over a quarter century, Iran has been one of America's chief nemeses. Ever since Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Shah in 1979, the relationship between the two nations has been antagonistic: revolutionary guards chanting against the Great Satan, Bush fulminating against the Axis of Evil, Iranian support for Hezbollah, and President Ahmadinejad blaming the U.S. for the world's ills. The
Talibanistan: Negotiating the Borders Between Terror, Politics and ReligionThe longest war the United States has ever fought is the ongoing war in Afghanistan. But when we speak of "Afghanistan," we really mean a conflict that straddles the border with Pakistan--and the reality of Islamic militancy on that border is enormously complicated. In Talibanistan, an unparalleled group of experts offer a nuanced understanding of this critical region. Edited by Peter Bergen,
The Politics of Violence, Truth and Reconciliation in the Arab Middle EastIn the last five to ten years, pressure for political liberalisation, and the growth of civil society and independent media, inside Arab countries have prompted the debate about violent events in the postcolonial period. This book features studies of six Arab countries in which legacies of political violence have been challenged through various initiatives to promote "truth-telling" and
Iran: From Regional Challenge to Global ThreatThis anthology of 31 recent studies by eleven leading security and diplomatic experts outlines the Iranian threat to Israel, the Middle East region, and the West.

Middle East Security Issues: In the Shadow of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation - WMD, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Persian Gulf, Arab PerspectivesThe Middle East is an international flashpoint, a place where open warfare could erupt at any time. It is the home of numerous countries possessing some combination of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) (nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons), and is an area where states are developing an increasing capability to deliver such WMD by missiles and/or aircraft.

It has also highlighted how little is really known about the patrons and supporters that enabled al-Qa'ida's charismatic leader to hide in plain sight, and communicate with his key lieutenants, for so

Introduction to Market Failure
Market failure happens when the price mechanism fails to allocate scarce resources efficiently or when the operation of market forces lead to a net social welfare loss
Market failure exists when the competitive outcome of markets is not satisfactory from the point of view of society. What is satisfactory nearly always involves value judgments.
Complete and partial market failure
- Complete market failure occurs when the market simply does not supply products at all - we see "missing markets"
- Partial market failure occurs when the market does actually function but it produces either the wrong quantity of a product or at the wrong price.
Markets can fail for lots of reasons:
- Negative externalities (e.g. the effects of environmental pollution) causing the social cost of production to exceed the private cost
- Positive externalities (e.g. the provision of education and health care) causing the social benefit of consumption to exceed the private benefit
- Imperfect information or information failure means that merit goods are under-produced while demerit goods are over-produced or over-consumed
- The private sector in a free-markets cannot profitably supply to consumers pure public goods and quasi-public goods that are needed to meet people's needs and wants
- Market dominance by monopolies can lead to under-production and higher prices than would exist under conditions of competition, causing consumer welfare to be damaged
- Factor immobility causes unemployment and a loss of productive efficiency
- Equity (fairness) issues. Markets can generate an 'unacceptable' distribution of income and consequent social exclusion which the government may choose to change

First Peoples: Asia
What happened when early humans ventured out of Africa and into Asia? Where did they go and whom did they meet along the way? The latest evidence suggests they left far earlier than previously thought and interbred with other types of ancient human - Homo erectus, Neanderthals and also the Denisovans, whose existence was established only five years ago when geneticists extracted DNA from a tiny fragment of finger bone. Because these ancient humans mated with our ancestors, their genes have found a home in our DNA. More than that, they've helped us survive and thrive. more info | more stories like this

I'm having issues setting the delegate of a Core Data object to a certain view controller I have. I'm getting and error which leads me to believe it's not synthesizing the accessor methods:
2012-06-23 18:21:20.566 App[34164:12803] -[NSManagedObject setSyncDelegate:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x907cf30

The NSManagedObject, SavedPhoto, has the following .h:
@interface SavedPhoto : NSManagedObject
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *fileName;
@property (nonatomic, strong) id<SyncPhotoDelegate> syncDelegate;
and .m:
@implementation SavedPhoto
@dynamic fileName;
@synthesize syncDelegate = _syncDelegate;
And I'm trying to set the delegate in a view controller like so:
AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [appDelegate managedObjectContext];
SavedPhoto *savedPhoto = (SavedPhoto *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"SavedPhoto" inManagedObjectContext:context];
[savedPhoto setSyncDelegate:self];
Where "self" is a view controller that implements the protocol SyncPhotoDelegate. Is it even possible to have a synthesized property in an NSManagedObject?

"We were very pleased with our stay. The cabin is well taken care of and we had no problems at all. The bonfires were awesome and we had fun fishing on the lake (brought our own boat). Our week stay was quite misty but when it cleared, the view of the lake was amazing! I always received prompt responses if I had questions before our stay and it was very easy to get ahold of the owners during our stay if necessary. Thank you for a great family trip!"Guest: Family vacation Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: April 16, 2015View listing

Blog Entry
Officials had concerns about Dozier's SAT, too
Posted on: June 2, 2009 5:11 pm
On the same day that the University of Memphis released its response to NCAA allegations that Derrick Rose had someone take his SAT for him, sources told CBSSports.com that Rose's former teammate, Robert Dozier, only played for the Tigers because the University of Georgia declined to enroll the in-state product over concerns that he might've similarly had someone take his SAT.
According to a source, Dozier took the SAT once before trying to enroll at Georgia, but that score was flagged after the school received a tip that the score might be "fishy." At the time, Georgia was still dealing with charges of academic fraud under Jim Harrick and determined to be extra careful with everything. So the school asked Dozier to take the SAT again, and a source with knowledge of the situation told CBSSports.com that the second score was "not enough to resolve the issue." Put another way, Georgia officials were not properly convinced the first test and second test were taken by the same person, which led to the end of Dozier's time as a Georgia recruit in August 2004.
Dozier subsequently enrolled at Laurinburg Prep along with four other future Tigers (namely Antonio Anderson, Shawne Williams, Kareem Cooper and Roburt Sallie). About a month later, he committed to Memphis for a second time -- Dozier was actually committed to Memphis before he ever signed with Georgia -- and eventually helped the Tigers make the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 NCAA tournaments under John Calipari while becoming the winningest Division I men's basketball player in history (along with Anderson and Chance McGrady).

J.J. Watt is so in demand this offseason he had to post a blanket message on social media to politely decline all the prom invitations pouring in. Watt is heeding advice to take advantage of (almost) all the opportunities that come as the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year. He also must ensure his schedule allows for his full training regime. "All the cool stuff I'm doing is great," the Houston Texans end said in a phone interview Thursday. "All that will go away if I don't play well." Watt figures he's been on a plane 20-25 times already this offseason, compared with eight or nine flights at this point last year. The one trip he absolutely wanted to make was to join an NFL USO trip to visit American troops in the Middle East. He'd heard coach Gary Kubiak and others rave about the experience. Watt had hoped to go last year but the timing didn't work out. He started talking to organizers early on this time to make sure the dates came together. The fellow stars on the trip includ...

EBay's RedLaser app now includes local deals and in-store mapping.
Consumers using the RedLaser app from eBay Inc. will now find local offers from retailers such as Best Buy Co. Inc., Toys 'R' Us Inc. and Sears Holding Corp. in the app.
EBay updated the mobile commerce app this week with a new Local Deals tab, and other functions like the ability to clip coupons, view weekly circulars, receive push notification alerts when in a store that has RedLaser offers, and interact with in-store mapping of Walgreen Co. and some The Home Depot Inc. locations.
Consumers can use the RedLaser app in a variety of ways. The opening page of the app suggests products, including recommendations based on prior product searches after first use. They also can tap to see the day's top deals and offers near their locations. Other options include scanning a product bar code and searching by keyword or image.
To take advantage of the Local Deals function, consumers can browse for nearby deals by tapping a button labeled "Browse deals around you." Doing so opens a page with a small map of nearby participating retailers and a list, from nearest to farthest, to select from. Selecting a retailer on the list opens a new page with details about the store, including its available weekly ads, in-store coupons, online offers and an in-store map, if available. Once the in-store map is open, the consumer can search for a product; if the product is available, a pin will then appear on the map to display its location.
RedLaser also can display online product search results, and consumers can make purchases on a retailer's e-commerce site within the RedLaser app. Consumers also can use PayPal Mobile Express Checkout to buy products within the app from select retailers, such as Target Corp., Toys 'R' Us, Sears and Best Buy. The prices of those items have a green background. Other prices have no colored background.
Of course, consumers can view eBay search results within RedLaser. To make an eBay purchase, the consumer taps the item in RedLaser, which opens the eBay app.
To use a coupon, the consumer displays the coupon within the RedLaser app and shows it to a cashier who either scans a bar code on the coupon image or enters a code found on the coupon. For online purchases, the consumer must enter the coupon code upon checkout.
Consumers also can activate the store alerts function in the app to receive push notifications of offers when they are inside stores. The function relies on geofencing to determine the location of the smartphone. That may abet some retailer anxiety of consumer use of smartphones inside of stores, especially for showrooming, in which a consumer visits a store to view a product but purchases it from an online retailer while in a store.
"RedLaser's local shopping update is part of eBay's move from e-commerce to all of commerce," says Rob Veres, RedLaser general manager. "Shoppers can opt-in to receive notifications when they are in or near stores that have deals available. This allows retailers to engage and transact with their consumers when they are in-store."
These latest RedLaser features are available only in the iOS version of the app, but eBay expects to update the Android and Windows Phone versions, a spokeswoman says. Versions of the app have been downloaded 26 million times and contain information on more than 38 million products, eBay says.

Former NFL running back Tiki Barber, who made news after he left his pregnant wife of ten years for an NBC intern, has now announced the two (that have since been married) are expecting their first child together. Barber and wife Traci made the announcement on the television show "Bethenny" while participating on a couples pannel. Not, sure how a philandering husband and his jump-off turned wife would be asked to be on a couples panel, but I digress. Congrats to the two on the new addition. Hopefully they can set a better example for their child that Tiki did for his other children, but I'm not putting my money on it. H/T: Larry Brown Sports

Teju Cole's Dictionary of Received Ideas
Yesterday on Twitter, Teju Cole shared a series of definitions—some ironic, some
hilarious funny, all perceptive.
The series of definitions immediately reminded me of Ambrose Bierce's sardonic work The Devil's Dictionary, but Cole later tweeted that he had Gustave Flaubert's Le Dictionnaire des Idées Reçues (The Dictionary of Received Ideas) in mind as a model.
Cole reiterated Flaubert's influence again when he published the tweets today at The New Yorker under the title "In Place of Thought"—a little sample:
AMERICAN. With the prefix "all," a blonde.
CHILDREN. The only justification for policy. Always say "our children." The childless have no interest in improving society.
HILARIOUS. Never simply say "funny."
HIP HOP. Old-school hip hop, i.e., whatever was popular when you were nineteen, is great. Everything since then is intolerable.
HIPSTER. One who has an irrational hatred of hipsters.
INTERNET. A waste of time. Have a long online argument with anyone who disagrees.
JAZZ. America's classical music. The last album was released in 1965.
LITERALLY. Swear you'd rather die than use "literally" as an intensifier.
POET. Always preceded by "published." Function unknown.
Bonus—from Flaubert's Dictionnaire:
BLACK – Always preceded by "pitch".
CHILDREN – Affect a lyric tenderness towards them, when people are about.
INTRODUCTION — Obscene word.
LITERATURE — Idle pastime.
METAPHORS — Always too many in poems. Always too many in anybody's writing.
OPTIMIST — Synonym for imbecile.
POETRY — Entirely useless; out of date.
THINK (TO) — Painful. Things that compel us to think are generally neglected.
Read 45 Small Fates from Teju Cole
If you follow Teju Cole on Twitter, you've likely already read many of his small fates, tweets he composed over two years drawn from Nigerian newspapers. The project follows the spirit of Félix Fénéon's faits divers, three-line tragedies collected from the news.
Cole has written about the project in detail at his site, as have a number of other sites, but I can't recall seeing the small fates put together in one place before The New Inquiry published 45 today under the title I don't normally do this sort of thing. Cole's small fates operate on a wonderfully strange axis of comedy and horror; they are brief but rich, ironic but intensely real.
Read the rest of I don't normally do this sort of thing.
theNewerYork, a Worthy Alternative to Your iPhone
Like many (maybe most) Americans, my first impulse when I have to wait somewhere is to pull out my smart phone and dick around. I like to dick around on Twitter, which often leads me to stuff that I scan or gaze or graze through, with a kind of distracted, even half-hearted, attention. Because I'm also attending to something else—the waiting.
I had to wait, or be patient, or be a patient, or what have you several times last month, and each time I brought with me the newest or forthcomingest issue of theNewerYork—issue 3 (or III, depending on press materials). It fits neatly in my pocket and most of the pieces are a page at most—a perfect alternative to my iPhone, with none of the eye-deadening numbness that so often happens with long binges on a tiny screen.
theNewerYork describes itself as
a weird sort of literary mag. Our rule: no short stories, no poetry, no essays. We want to play around with literary form and narration, we want to screw with your mind! There will be personal letters, flash-fictions, glossaries, aphorisms, manuals, lists and other absurdities. We received over 600 submissions from all over the world. We've got flash fictions of sex and drugs, teenage romances, philosophical treatises, pretentious definitions, web forums, silly, sappy, scary stuff.
That's a pretty apt description. To hijack and cannibalize my write-up of the last issue, theNewerYork's "willingness to showcase experimentation in what goes on paper for people to look at and read is both a strength and a weakness." This third issue sees an all-around increase in quality, from the production design, to the art, to the writing.
Highlights include Panayotis Pakos's "Les Innumerables (A Binary Tale)," a Calvinoesque flash that imagines the dream-life of numbers, and Shane Jesse Christmass's "My Delicate Response to a Child's Writing Prompt Website" (quick sample: "If there were no television I'd beach my television set down within the dunes…"). Zach Davidson's "Unstandardized Testing" claims (truthfully?) to present a set of scrambled questions from a trash bin; the testtaker is tasked with creating proper order (sample: "too lazy to do lazy something you are if you are still?")
The most affecting piece in the collection is Anton Nimblett's "Show & Tell: An American Game," an analysis posing as a chronology. I'll share only the nineteenth century portion, and, at the risk of spoiling, let you know that the story ends with the line "Show birth certificate (again, again, again)."
The list-form, along with (or combined with) the second-person POV seems a favorite for "experimental" fiction, which can occasionally be grating (but only when it doesn't work)—but most of the pieces here work. And if they don't, there's something coming up that does.
Despite the disparate tones, approaches, and geographies of its contributors, theNewerYork coheres—the little magazine has a clear (if discursive vision). Good stuff. Check out their website for more.
"Tao Lin" — Michael Kimball
Tao Lin was born in Flagstaff, AZ. He had a very busy childhood that involved practicing the piano a lot. When he was 5, Tao remembers writing little books and selling them to his mother for 50¢. When Tao was small, his neighbor had a rabbit farm and sold them for money. Being near that changed Tao, and, because of it, he talks less shit about people publicly and makes fewer grand pronouncements.
Growing up, Tao played kickball and baseball and basketball in the neighborhood, but not at school. When he was 10, he was playing poker with his neighbor and bet his entire coin collection. The neighbor won and Tao picked up his coin collection and ran back to his house and locked the door. The neighbor knocked a lot and said things like this: "Just give me half. I won't be angry."
Tao kept practicing the piano until he no longer owned a piano that worked. Then, at New York University, he studied journalism, but he would have studied creative writing if there had been a program. His sophomore year, he broke up with his girlfriend and then decided to focus really hard on writing. After that, Tao wrote and published a few books. As Tao has noted in interviews, his writing expresses crippling loneliness, severe depression, and the arbitrary nature of the universe. Also, Tao enjoys repeatedly looking at Statcounter, Sales Rank Express, Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, and Tumblr. When a number changes, he feels like something has happened. His job is to promote himself to ensure money will come to him 2-3 years from now, and then even after that.
Everything is just something Tao does. It can be either good or bad depending on the way he thinks about it. Once, Tao thought about peeing in an empty FYXX energy drink bottle and selling it on eBay. Another time, after he ran out of money, Tao sold 10% shares of his second novel to six different people for $2,000 per share. He will never get another real job for the rest of his life. Tomorrow, Tao would like to eat only raw vegan foods.
Update : Tao published some more books. He also married Megan Boyle and they later separated.
"Tao Lin" is part of Michael Kimball's new book Michael Kimball Writes Your Life Story (On a Postcard), which is new from Mud Luscious Press. Interview and review forthcoming. This piece is republished with the kind permission of the author.
The Universe Within (Book Acquired, 12.15.2012)
The Universe Within is new from Pantheon early next year. Their blurb:
From one of our finest and most popular science writers, and the best-selling author of Your Inner Fish, comes the answer to a scientific mystery as big as the world itself: How are the events that formed our solar system billions of years ago embedded inside each of us?
In Your Inner Fish, Neil Shubin delved into the amazing connections between human bodies—our hands, heads, and jaws—and the structures in fish and worms that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. In The Universe Within, with his trademark clarity and exuberance, Shubin takes an even more expansive approach to the question of why we look the way we do. Starting once again with fossils, he turns his gaze skyward, showing us how the entirety of the universe's fourteen-billion-year history can be seen in our bodies. As he moves from our very molecular composition (a result of stellar events at the origin of our solar system) through the workings of our eyes, Shubin makes clear how the evolution of the cosmos has profoundly marked our own bodies.
University of Chicago paleontologist Shubin wrote about the fishy origins of humanity in 2009's Your Inner Fish. In his new book, he goes farther back and further out, explaining how humans bear the markings of cosmic phenomena; as he puts it, "Written inside us is the birth of the stars." Here, the author surveys everything from glints in "Greenlandic rocks" to the spreading signs of supernovae to reveal "deep ties to the forces that shaped our bodies." He demonstrates how mammals owe their "high-energy lifestyle[s]" to oxygen released hundreds of millions of years ago as continents spread apart, and how color vision arose after continental drift cooled the planet, diversified flora, and resulted in biological competition that favored those organisms who could identify nutritious plants according to hue ("Every time you admire a richly colorful view, you can thank India for slamming into Asia"). Shubin is a leading proponent of the fusion of paleontology, developmental genetics, and genomics, and the result of his efforts is a volume of truly inspired science writing. Appropriately vast in scope, Shubin deftly balances breadth and depth in his search for a "sublimely beautiful truth."
In Which Bret Easton Ellis Finally Comes to Understand Women
Bret Easton Ellis took to Twitter last night to share some more of his profound insights.
Here, he sets the stage for us and delivers a powerful thesis (all in under 140 characters!):
And of course, some supporting details (including a bit of biology):
Mr. Ellis even replies to one of his followers! (I like the touch of self loathing):
A rousing conclusion statement:
And a fitting epilogue:

Late 16th-century engraving by Theodor de Bry, after a watercolor by Jacques le Moyne, depicting Native Americans transporting crops to a storehouse by means of a canoe. The storehouses were constructed by stones and mud with low roofs. Although de Bry never set foot in the New World himself, he made many copies of watercolors by the French artist le Moyne, who observed the Timucua tribe of Florida first-hand. The engravings are some of the earliest, if not necessarily the most accurate, surviving records of the Native Americans of the period.

Hopefully you have at least one road trip planned for the summer. And whether you're driving in a Toyota Prius or a '64 Chevy Impala, a solid soundtrack is a must. It's an important list, one that requires the requisite consideration to match the tempo of the ride and the terrain of the pavement.
We take our road trip playlists seriously. After all, conversation with your fellow riders can only last so long.
So as a public service, we've pinpointed five road trip songs that will get your list started on the right foot, errr… wheel.
"Drive My Car" – The Beatles
Coming off the British version of1965's Rubber Soul, the story goes that "Drive My Car" grew from the Beatles' first recording session that extended past midnight, as Paul McCartney and George Harrison put together the basic rhythm.
"Drive My Car" features a thumping bottom end that is great for rolling down the windows and revving the engine, with an R&B feel that calls to mind the bass-heavy tracks that came out of Memphis's Stax Records.
"Beep, Beep! Beep, Beep! Yeah!" indeed.
"Rebel Rouser" – Duane Eddy
The king of twang could have several entries on our playlist, with his signature guitar sound shining so bright on every track he released. But Eddy's "Rebel Rouser" has a rambling groove that is well-suited to flat country roads. The instrumental hit is accentuated with bleats from a saxophone as it winds down, adding a car chase feel to the tune.
But don't accelerate too fast. It's best to just take in the scenery when Eddy is doing his thing.
Highway to Hell – AC/DC
Written by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young and the late Bon Scott, "Highway to Hell" is a paean to the rigors of touring and life on the road with "no stop signs/speed limit."
The riff is instantly recognizable and makes you want to put the pedal to the metal, as it sears through the brain and has the ability to instantly conjure an adrenaline rush. Now, this fact might also make the song a dangerous one to drive with, but sometimes you need to drive fast and take chances.
Just watch out for the speed traps.
"Tush" – ZZ Top
Whether you're going to Dallas, Texas, or Hollywood, "Tush" fits the bill. The opening riff immediately commands the listener to pull on their sunglasses and secure their cowboy hat. The original recording was found on Fandango and was ZZ Top's first Top 20 single, with good reason.
Billy Gibbons takes two turns with searing slide guitar solos, and Dusty Hill's strong bassline rumbles just as much as the engine. The Texas trio's hit is definitely at home when traversing the Lone Star State, but there is certainly room for a lot of "Tush" on the Sunset Strip.
"Long May You Run" – Neil Young
"Long May You Run" is an homage to Young's beloved first car, a hearse that was known as "Mort." Seriously.
But this hearse has a lot of historical significance. It was the vehicle that carted Young and his original band around Canada. It broke down in the early 1960s in Blind River, Ont., but that spawned Mort's successor, another hearse named "Mort Two" which ended up carrying him from Toronto to Los Angeles. There, Young met Stephen Stills and eventually formed Buffalo Springfield.
So long may you run, Mort, in that scrapyard in the sky. We'll appreciate the song you inspired with our wheels firmly on the pavement.

The Country Summer festival in Santa Rosa, Calif., got off to a big-time start on Saturday with Cassadee Pope's high-voltage set.
The Season 3 winner of NBC's The Voice has been taking the country world by storm with a platinum debut record and a billing at the 2015 edition of Stagecoach, and she continued that momentum at the Sonoma Country Fairgrounds.
From the start of her 1:30 p.m. slot, Pope had the enthusiastic audience at rapt attention, both with her unbelievable singing ability and her stage presence.
Diving into smash solo album Frame by Frame, Pope opened with "I Wish I Could Break Your Heart" and "Champagne," which had Pope strutting up and down the catwalk that reached out into the crowd as she showcased her incredible range.
She also added a little bit of a snarl on the track "Proved You Wrong," which she originally wrote when she was fronting her Florida pop-punk band Hey Monday several years ago. The track sounds like a breakup lament, with heavy relationship imagery, but it is actually about the obstacles she's faced in the music industry.
Pope also featured "This Car," "Easier to Lie" and "Everybody Sings" from Frame by Frame, which was produced by Dann Huff, another musician who made the jump from rock to country, having worked with artists ranging from Megadeth to Faith Hill.
In addition, she pulled out two bonus tracks that appeared on Frame by Frame's deluxe edition – the chunky riff-driven "Cinematic" and "Edge of a Thunderstorm."
To pay homage to a few classic rockers, the West Palm Beach, Fla., native turned in a killer cover of the Eagles' "Hotel California" and a joyous version of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' "I Won't Back Down."
As uptempo as Pope's catolog is, she also shined in a poignant moment during the song "11," which she explained was the most personal she's ever written. Dealing with her parents' divorce at the age of 11, one could tell that Pope gets emotional every time she sings it.
At several points during her performance, Pope was generous with those who sat up front and held up things in the hopes of getting an autograph. She also was successful in getting people to stand and dance along to her pop- and rock- influenced country tunes.
But Pope's voice was a real stunner, showing range and passion no matter the pace of the songs.
Judging by the enthusiasm of the crowd, the country world is welcoming Pope with open arms.

Will fewer ideas submitted for the SAVE Awards lead to more applause-worthy offerings?
The government is streamlining its annual search for money-saving ideas from federal workers in the hope that gathering fewer ideas will yield better ideas.
Agencies are being given more time to evaluate proposals, according to a July 26 memo from acting deputy director for management and CIO Steven VanRoekel. Deadlines for agencies to nominate SAVE Award (Securing Americans Value and Efficiency) candidates is being pushed back to Sept. 20, and agencies are being asked to identify just the top three to five money-saving ideas – down from five to 10 in years past. Additionally, agencies are being asked to package their SAVE Award ideas with their fiscal year 2015 budget submissions.
SAVE Awards reward federal employees who come up with practical ideas that save the government money, improve operations and can be easily replicated across government agencies. Agencies are required to submit a list of ideas to the director of OMB, who picks a group of finalists. The public is then invited to vote on the winning entry.
This year, agencies are being directed to avoid ideas that are similar to past finalists. The winning 2012 idea proposed making sure federal employees receiving public transit benefits are shifted to lower senior citizen fares as soon as they are eligible. In 2011, a NASA employee won with an idea to create a lending library of specialized tools, to avoid duplicate purchases.
The SAVE Award competition has generated more than 85,000 ideas since it was instituted in 2009.

Syracuse coach Scott Shafer has dismissed Markus Pierce-Brewster and Davon Walls for violating team rules. Both players were charged with felony burglary and misdemeanor petit larceny in connection with the burglary of a campus apartment in late February. On Tuesday, Shafer said he would let the legal system play out before making a decision on the two players, but he said that decision would be one that was best for the team. Pierce-Brewster, a starter at defensive end, transferred into the program before last season from City College of San Francisco and appeared in 12 games, recording 30 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery. Walls, from Brooklyn, N.Y., appeared in three games last year after transferring from Coahoma Community College in Mississippi. The Orange start spring practice next week.

The Redskins rookie was pleased with the defense's performance tonight.
Redskins Talk
Joe Theismann made some frank comments in his assessment of RG3 and Kirk Cousins during Saturday's preseason loss to the Ravens.
With the starters playing the entire first half, the Redskins defense looked surprisingly strong while Robert Griffin III and the offense struggled in a loss to Baltimore.
RG3 looked unsure leading the Redskins first-team offense, adding up to a disappointing outing.
Trent Williams went to high school with a future Oriole. He's not ashamed to brag about it, either. Check it out.

MLS Regular Season
The weather for today's practice was perfect, hot and sunny but with a cooling breeze coming off the water.
Everyone was in practice today with the exception of Fernando Aristeguieta who is still trying to come back from an ankle injury.
Practice began with passing drills, working on the long through balls on the ground while utilizing only two touches. This then shifted over to long air though balls, trying to get the balls to drop in past the defenders(training dummies).
Goalies were again working on bouncing ball and reaction saves, working more on saving balls that fall into the box.
Practice then switched over to a game of transition possession, with three separate teams trying to complete 10 passes while under duress from an opposing teams. Michael Lahoud and Sebastien Le Toux did not participate in this but instead worked on rehabbing and doing other strength and conditioning exercises.
The three teams broke down like this:
Green: Sheanon Williams, C.J. Sapong, Eric Ayuk, Jimmy McLaughlin, Steven Vitoria, Fabinho, Vincent Nogueira
Orange: Cristian Maidana, Ray Gaddis, Brian Carroll, Richie Marquez, Raymond Lee, Conor Casey, Antoine Hoppenot
Grey: Zach Pfeffer, Maurice Edu, Dzenan Catic, Andrew Wenger, Fred, Ethan White
This then turned into small-sided games on a shortened field. Orange won the first two games, green won the next two, and then grey won the final game. Antoine and Sheanon looked particularly good, both scoring for their respective teams.
The Philadelphia Union take on the Montreal Impact at 7 p.m. tonight at PPL Park. Here is the lineup:
Formation: 4-2-3-1
ST: C.J. Sapong, MLS start No. 76, Union start No. 7

The Philadelphia Union U-18s were in action again today for the final day of group play in the US Soccer Development Academy playoffs. The U-18s took on LA Galaxy's U-18s in the final game for U-18 Group E.
The U-18's game was first, playing against the LA Galaxy at 9 a.m.. The Union U-18s are unable to advance beyond the group stage, making this the final game for some members of the team.
Today's lineup featured a bit of a shake-up, running a 4-1-4-1 formation with Yosef Samuel up top. This was Samuel's first game action in the USSDA playoffs.
The game started fast for the Union with Samuel getting off some good looks early and actually putting on into the goal in the 8th minute off of a long distance strike. After the goal, the game opened up more for both sides as both were playing for pride after being mathematically eliminated.
The Union continued to high press, even after the halftime break, causing some mayhem for the Galaxy. They took their foot off the gas a little bit but managed to keep it close. Towards the end, coach Peter Fuller started to put more on the seniors in, giving them the chance to play in their final game. They managed to hold the game as it was and when the final whistle blew, the Union had won 1-0.
Today was a good day for practice, with the weather being cool but humid, allowing the players to recover more and prepare for the game tomorrow.
Conor Casey, Dzenan Catic, and Michael Lahoud were all in practice today, though Lahoud only participated in warm-ups with the team before doing individual strength and conditioning work.
Practice opened up with triangle passing, working on the one touch pass and controlling the ball when if comes to their feet. Curtin stalked around the team as they did this, calling out mistakes and praising those who deserved it.
After the triangle passing, the team moved over to transition possession, where they had to complete at least ten passes before attempting to play it down to where the other team was waiting.
While this was going on, all three goalkeepers worked on their reflexes, especially pouncing on balls that bounce in the box.
Practice wrapped up with 10v9, where the team with 10 played without a keeper. The teams broke down like this:
Grey (10): Fabinho, Richie Marquez, Maurice Edu, Ray Gaddis, Vince Nogueira, Brian Carroll, Zach Pfeffer, Cristian Maidana, C.J. Sapong, and Eric Ayuk
Green (9): Sheanon Williams, Andrew Wenger, Ethan White, Antoine Hoppenot, Fred, Casey, Steven Vitoria, Catic, and Brian Sylvestre
After practice was over, the team voluntarily decided to work on shooting. Curtin told them the focus was getting it on goal rather than scoring a spectacular goal, something that should increase the number of rebounds in the box.

Here is the team's injury report for this week:
|Sebastien Le Toux
|Left knee MCL sprain
|Mike Lahoud
|Right quad strain
|Ferndando Aristeguieta
|Left fibular contusion
|Conor Casey
|Left quad strain
The only new addition to the injury report is Le Toux who was injured after being subbed on in the U.S. Open Cup game on Tuesday against the Rochester Rhinos.
Today was a great day for practice, with the sun staying out for long periods of time while the breeze came in off of the water.
Practice today was a relatively easy day, especially for yesterday's starters, most of whom play 120 minutes. The starters did some warm ups before ending early with some stretching and conditioning.
Those who didn't start or are coming off of injuries proceeded to play small sided games with varying tasks. One of the people who returned to practice today was Conor Casey, his first game action since re-injuring his hamstring playing the New York Red Bulls.
Practice consisted mostly of various versions of 4v4. The first version was a normal 4v4 where Conor played offensively for both teams as an extra man.
Those teams broke down like this:
Brian Carroll, Jimmy McLaughlin, Ethan White, and Raymond Lee in gray
Sheanon Williams, Fred, Eric Bird, and Antoine Hoppenot in orange
The game then expanded to a half field where goalies were involved. This was a 3v2 set up where Antoine played offense on one end and Casey played offense on the other end. Everyone else were in teams of two and they rotated between moving forward against another team of two or defending against one.
Practice ended with a normal 4v4 with the exception of Conor and Antoine not allowed on to the defensive half of the field for their respective teams. Both Brian Sylvestre and Andre Blake looked good in goal.
After practice, Lee, McLaughlin, and Bird got some extra work in on receiving crosses. Antoine and Sheanon did extra conditioning work while Andre and Brian did some extra goal kicks.
The Union held their weekly press conferece today, pushed ahead from the usual Wednesday spot due to the US Open Cup game agaisnt the Rochester Rhinos tomorrow. This week, John McCarthy was the player giving his thoughts on the upcoming week. Here are some of his highlights:
Jim how do you approach the lineup for a game like this?
Yeah, it's a good team coming-in in Rochester. I've watched a bunch of tape on them; they don't concede a lot of goals – they've only given up four and scored 16, they're 8-0-4 so they haven't been beat this year. We're going to have to be on our game – can't take them lightly. They're a well-coached, organized team and they have a couple weapons. Fortunately, the Dos Santos kid – the striker – is suspended from the Harrisburg game. I don't think they'll press us in our building, but maybe they do, it'll be something we're ready for but I expect them to sit back a little bit, give us possession, and make us really have to break them down. Which will be a difficult task because they have some big bodies in there. They have guys that are MLS in one or two years and they're guys with a chip on their shoulder – lot of familiar names if you go through their roster, a bunch of guys that are playing with edge right now and winning. It'll be a tough task in terms of how we look at our squad – we're going to have to field a team that is up to the task and without going into too many details into my lineup, it's going to be a group that will go out and compete and a group that sets us up knowing that we do have a busy stretch. So there could be some younger guys that see minutes.
Those early games in the US open cup last year – especially against Harrisburg – definitely weren't a walk in the park. A lot of the guys who are on this team this year know that – are they taking that into account?
For sure, yeah. I've been warning them as much as possible all week. The early round games are in a lot of ways the toughest – because if you run into a Cosmos, or Rochester, this is a chance for them to knock off one of the higher league in terms of standings – they want to impress and say they belong in MLS as a team, as an individual. So that parts challenging – getting the guys motivated. The key is playing at a tempo and a speed that they're not maybe used to – when MLS games get ramped up, it is faster, it is a stronger league, but there is any given day a team that can come in here and give you a tough time. Last year you saw it with Harrisburg and the Cosmos – those were our two toughest games – because they are still good teams, they both can play, the guys get paid to play, so they are professionals, as well. It's challenging to get our guys to be ready for it, you see it so often though, these games become tricky, and MLS teams are going to lose in this round. That's a fact. Someone is going to go down, it happens every year, and you have to do your best to prevent it. The advantage is we have a home game, we don't have to travel which is good, and we have a big nice field we can play on. So we have to take care of business, it's up to us to execute and go on the field and put together a good performance on a Tuesday night.
Does it help at all, having a guy like John (McCarthy) who understands the other side and the mentality that Rochester is going to bring into this?
Yeah, for sure. He helps in the scouting, he helps in all the little things. So again, he's a guy who has been on both sides – he can speak to how good of a team this Rochester group is – they weren't as strong last year, but this year they have come in and really separated themselves from a lot of the other teams in the league and are doing really well. Again, we're not going to have a let down or be caught off guard or underestimate them in any way. John has played both sides, obviously he wants to get a win now for Philadelphia.

Aston Villa Hires Alex McLeish as Manager of Soccer Team
June 17 (Bloomberg) -- Aston Villa appointed Alex McLeish as manager five days after he resigned as coach of the Premier League soccer team's archrival Birmingham.
McLeish, 52, will assume his duties with immediate effect, Villa said in a statement on its website. He becomes the seven-time English champion's third manager in nine months after Martin O'Neill resigned five days before the start of last season and Gerard Houllier stepped down on June 1 because of heart problems.
