Education and knowledge are not just highly valued in the workplace, they also help strengthen our nation's communities and economy. That's why the Marine Corps makes sure every Marine has the ability to pursue their educational objectives. During Service: As a Marine, up to 100 percent of your education expenses may be paid by the federal government through programs like Tuition Assistance, the Post 9-11 GI Bill and the Marine Corps College Fund. Select Marines may earn a degree through the College Degree Program, which has both a four- and two-year option. Both options cover the cost of tuition, fees, textbooks and uniforms at certain selected colleges and universities.
In addition, Marine Corps Officers have the opportunity to earn Master's Degrees and law degrees under the Advanced Degree Program, Special Education Program and Funded Law Program, all of which are partially funded by the Marine Corps. After Service: These education benefits extend well beyond active duty and are awarded based on the number of years served and the specific education program in which you enroll. In some cases, the benefits may also be transferred to your spouse or child. Request more information and talk to a recruiter for specific questions about financial aid or educational opportunities in the Corps.
Tuition Assistance
- Academic credit available for a graduate degree from an accredited college or university
- Financial assistance toward tuition during active duty
Special Education Program
- Study a curriculum tailored to the billet needs of the Marine Corps while maintaining pay status
- Tuition and some related expenses covered by the Marine Corps
Advanced Degree Program (ADP)
- Selected officers allowed 18 months away from the Marine Corps to attend graduate school full time
- Officers receive regular pay and allowances
- Officers pay their own tuition, but GI bill often will cover academic expenses
Every Marine family makes a commitment to our nation. In return, the Marine Corps makes a commitment to every Marine family. The Marine Corps provides many benefits and opportunities for families not found in the civilian world, including full health coverage, access to on-base medical facilities, free on-base housing, monthly housing allowances, low-cost mortgage loans and educational funding. In addition to the support Marine families offer each other, they have access to services such as day care options, family-friendly base amenities, family counseling, deployment support and relocation assistance. As much as service in the Corps ensures the future of our nation, it also creates a better future for those who serve. Ours is a family that takes care of its own, in every way.
To be an effective force in our nation's defense, our warriors must not only be highly skilled, but also highly educated and financially secure. If you earn our title, we will invest in you—advancing your mind, your career and your future. Whether you remain in the Corps for a single term or for an entire career, you will retain numerous benefits earned by keeping this nation safe and free. Our title is earned, never given. However, those who earn it gain access to a range of benefits unequaled in the civilian world. The educational opportunities and financial incentives we offer make for a more capable warrior—and a more secure nation.
Marine Corps Benefits
The advantages of becoming a Marine far exceed a simple list of benefits: those who earn our title are supported by the Marine Corps brotherhood. Tangible benefits include financial resources, family healthcare and insurance, housing and facilities, education, travel, vacation, and recreation.
Beyond Benefits
The advantages to becoming a Marine far exceed a simple list of benefits. Each Marine is supported by the Marine Corps brotherhood, as well as a range of personal and professional resources. Earning the title means one can forever call on the principles instilled in them, the Marines beside them and the commitments made to them in the Marine Corps.

Brand New 6 Tier Cupcake Holder
Retail Price - $150+
After searching a set of these for our own event, we found this item sold by other websites to be extremely expensive. After many requests from our customers for this item, we've completed the mission for an inexpensive & excellent quality cake stand.
Here's what is included:
Special Feature:
**Our tubes are clear acrylic, which means you can decorate the inside of the tube with theme color flowers, battery lights, or other colored items to match your theme.
cupcake holder:
5 tier: 30-35
6 tier normal: 50-60
6 tier Lrg with 16" plate: 75-85
6 tier XL with 18"plate : 100 - 105
Please note these are approx figures, there are not specific spacing on the
stand, so how many can fit depends on the size of the cupcakes, how it's spaced
out, and whether if it's suitable to use all tiers under certain wind
conditions. This set is meant for cupcakes, not full sized cakes.
HOW TO USE: when putting the plates and tubes together, insert tube into the plate hole, once tight and firm, that's it, you're done, top
your cupcakes and wedding favors on the display plate. Do not keep pressing tube all the way in when assembly is already tight/firm, as
this may cause the plate to break. For heavy loading, super glue is suggested for hold strength

Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Drugs
Supreme Court Justice (nominated by Pres. Clinton 1993)
The defendant entered into an agreement with the prosecution to plead guilty to crack cocaine possession. Following this plea, the sentencing guidelines federal judges must consider when they impose prison terms were retroactively revised to lower the prison time required in crimes involving cocaine base [crack cocaine], which were higher than those for powder cocaine. The law permitted defendants who were sentenced based upon the old guideline to seek the lower prison sentence if the guideline was revised downward.
A Texas Border Patrol Agent boarded a bus to check the immigration status of its passengers. He squeezed a canvas bag above Mr. Bond's seat and noticed that it contained a "brick-like" object. After petitioner admitted owning the bag and consented to its search, the Agent discovered a "brick" of methamphetamine.
The Fourth Amendment protects against government intrusion that upsets an "actual (subjective) expectation of privacy" that is objectively "reasonable." But an individual cannot reasonably expect privacy in respect to objects or activities that he "knowingly exposes to the public." Nor can I accept the majority's effort to distinguish "tactile" from "visual" interventions. Whether tactile manipulation (say, of the exterior of luggage) is more intrusive or less intrusive than visual observation (say, through a lighted window) necessarily depends on the particular circumstances, [which would] lead to a constitutional jurisprudence of "squeezes," thereby complicating further already complex Fourth Amendment law. For these reasons, I dissent.
Indianapolis operates vehicle checkpoints on its roads in an effort to interdict unlawful drugs. Mr. Edmond was stopped at such a checkpoint, and filed suit, claiming that the roadblocks violated the Fourth Amendment's rule that a search or seizure is unreasonable absent individualized suspicion of wrongdoing.

Abstract # 12-GM-A-2499-ASM
The isolation of high quality DNA from environmental samples such as soil is essential for use in downstream applications. Two common issues often encountered with the purification of DNA from soil are the ability to fully lyse microbial organisms in the soil as well as the sufficient removal of inhibitors that are commonly found in soil and copurify with the DNA. Here, we describe an automated method for the purification of DNA from soil samples using the Maxwell® 16 instrument.

'Jurassic Park 4' Shelved For Need of Not-Dead Writer
Nobody should have to die to stop a bad idea from becoming a reality in Hollywood. Nevertheless, it happens, as producer Frank Marshall alluded Sunday during the junket for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where a long-gestating sequel-of-a-sequel-of-a-sequel rumor was extinguished for good.
Universal has planned a fourth installment of Jurassic Park since 2001, when Joe Johnston inherited the franchise from Steven Spielberg on the way to $368 million globally. Among the plotters: Michael Crichton — the original source novelist who succumbed to cancer a month ago — and Park producer Marshall himself, who took a moment over the weekend to discuss what precisely that means for JP4:
When asked if there was any development on the long-anticipated sequel, Kennedy responded, "No... I don't know. You know, when Crichton passed away, I sorta felt maybe that's it. Maybe that's a sign that we don't mess with it."
Or maybe that sign came with John Sayles and William Monahan's script draft that surfaced four years ago, to which even some of the Web's easiest-to-please critics reacted with horror over the story's "Dirty Dozen-style mercenary team of hyper-smart dinosaurs in body armor killing drug dealers and rescuing kidnapped children." We're just saying. It could have been anything.
That said, if the Crichton factor allows for a more dignified closure, we'll take it. Can we somehow invoke his passing to spike Beverly Hills Cop 2009? What about this Arthur remake? Surely he'd be as outraged as the rest of us.

FGD: A Lone Star State Of Mind
Ryan Pike
October 24 2013 12:22PM
The Calgary Flames conclude their lengthy five-game road trip – their first of three of that length this season – tonight in Dallas with a game against the Stars. Puck drop is at 6:30pm and the game is covered by the usual suspects (Sportsnet Flames, Fan 960 and us during/after game).
The Flames are getting healthier, having welcomed back Mike Cammalleri in LA and David Jones in Phoenix. Matt Stajan is primed to join the returners club, but some moves need to happen for him to play tonight. Either way, the Flames are 1-3-0 in the first four games of their trip, so they're probably excited that a veteran center who can win face-offs is healthy, because that's a huge, gaping hole in their game right now.
Despite their woes on this trip, the Flames boast a fairly respectable 4-3-2 record – technically below .500 but good for a team that everyone was predicting to finish 30th (or 31st) in the league. Most impressive, as pointed out by Sportsnet's Charlie Simmer on the Phoenix broadcast, is that the Flames have been in every game they've played – even the ones they've lost. Again, for a young team that up until this week was missing their three best non-Glencross forwards, that's full marks.
Via DailyFaceoff, lines:
Glencross – Stajan – Stempniak
Galiardi – Backlund – Jones
Cammalleri – Monahan – Hudler
Bouma – Colborne – Jackman
Russell – Wideman
Butler – Brodie
Breen – O'Brien
Karri Ramo gets his third start, both in part because Joey MacDonald was a bit rambunctious against Phoenix (and lost) and because Ramo was excellent against the Kings and only got rested because it was a back-to-back. Notable by their absences from the Flames projected line-up are Roman Horak (likely back to the AHL), Sven Baertschi and Brian McGrattan (scratched) and Mark Giordano (day-to-day). Giordano reportedly didn't skate today or yesterday, and indications it's a "wait-and-see" type of injury, not a "legs are broken off" one.
The Baertschi scratch is interesting but not shocking – he's got appreciably less points than his two regular line-mates (Hudler has 12, Monahan has 9, Sven has 4) and with Stajan and Cammalleri's return, he doesn't really fit into the top nine. He also doesn't really fit a checking role, so perhaps a stint on the sidelines is what he needs to re-focus. Maybe in future games, Jackman rotates out, Galiardi plays with Bouma and Colborne and Baertschi returns to the line-up? I'm just guessing.
The Stars are one of 13 NHL teams officially worse than the Calgary Flames, boasting a 3-5-0 record through 8 games. A lot of that can be attributed to some weak offensive starts – Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn are producing, but that's it – and an injury to Kari Lehtonen (who's great) requiring them to rely on Dan Ellis (who's capable but not great).
Via DailyFaceoff, some lines:
Jamie Benn – Seguin – Peverley
Whitney – Eakin – Chiasson
Cole – Horcoff – Nichushkin
MacDermid – Fiddler – Roussel
Dillon – Robidas
Daley – Jordie Benn
Connauton – Gonchar
Aaron Rome cleared waivers but hasn't been re-assigned as of yet. Kevin Connauton slots in for Alex Goligoski and makes his NHL debut. Erik Cole was nursing some malady but will play tonight. Lehtonen gets the start. The Stars have been off since Saturday and have lost four of their last five, including dropping back-to-back games to LA and Anaheim over the weekend.
Oddly, the Stars boast a lot of 30-and-older players: Cole, Vernon Fiddler, Shawn Horcoff, Rich Peverley, Ray Whitney (who's 41), Trevor Daley, Sergei Gonchar, Stephane Robidas and Ellis. Heck, Kari Lehtonen joins the club next month. Considering how the NHL is shifting towards a game predicated by youth and speed, their roster construction seems a bit strange.
Of course, the unit to watch is also one of their youngest - the top line of Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverly. Seguin and Benn are significant offensive talents and can be handful if left to their own devices.
The Flames are finishing up their road trip and while they probably won't have their captain tonight, they will get Matty Franchise back. For a team that's suffered greatly due to losing a boat-load of face-offs, gaining Stajan's services once again will be a huge step towards proving they really are as good as they've played in the past three weeks.
Well most of the games have been fun to watch...Need a BIG pushback and some soft goals would help... Need shots for that though
The curse of the second period rears its ugly head once more.
October 24 2013, 08:08PM
Two bad break downs and a fluke deflection.
The team should probably waive Breen after this and bring up Cundari or something.
October 24 2013, 08:08PM
Feels like the Flames first line is getting hammered tonight. Aside from that one Stemps goal.
Two bad break downs and a fluke deflection.
The team should probably waive Breen after this and bring up Cundari or something.
Why Cundari? We don't need another undersized defenseman.
Looks like they put Brodie with Russell trying to stop the bleeding. Breen and Butler to AHL, bring up Cundari and Ramage.
Cundari can shoot skate plays with an edge, has to be better than any of the bottom 3.
October 24 2013, 08:22PM
As O'Brien and Breen ably demonstrate, size isn't the lone consideration. I can't think of another defender as close to NHL ready in the org.
As O'Brien and Breen ably demonstrate, size isn't the lone consideration. I can't think of another defender as close to NHL ready in the org.
If a 5'9 inch defender who was not considered much of a prospect by anyone is our best option, we better stay the course or get another def
Cundari can shoot skate plays with an edge, has to be better than any of the bottom 3.
He's not. That's why he was cut so early on.
October 24 2013, 08:37PM
And now it's getting into ugly territory.
So far we've been able to rally around work ethic. Can't say the same after that last powerplay.
Ramo overplayed on that one. How many times have our goalies seemed to wander this year...
Might as well get Breen some playing time for the rest of this one.
Just tuned in to the game.
Of what's left of it.
As a veteran of many (MANY) Dallas beatdowns, I can empathize.
Gotta think Ramo's Save % will e pretty terrible. All even strength I think.
Makes you wonder where this Stars team would be if they'd kept Neal.
October 24 2013, 08:56PM
Maybe we'll see some effort now.
October 24 2013, 09:02PM
Great pass by Hudler to O'Brien and the Monahan to Hudler. Really good vision by Monahan on that one too.
October 24 2013, 09:10PM
Well that was the worst game of the year so far. Looks like they took a page out of the Oilers D zone play book.
On a positive note PK was good in the 3rd.
Flames kept that closer than the score would lead one to believe based on chances and shots.
Hopefully 5 goals against doesn't mean McDonald back in net.

VIDEO REPORT: Nissan Murano Production Heads to Canton, Miss., in 2014
CANTON, Miss. – The next-generation Nissan Murano is on the move to the U.S. where it will be assembled by workers at Nissan's Canton Manufacturing and Assembly Plant beginning in 2014.
This news comes as Nissan begins celebrating 10 years of manufacturing in Mississippi where it currently builds the award-winning Altima, the Armada full-size SUV, the Xterra mid-size SUV, the Titan and Frontier pickup trucks and NV commercial and passenger vans.
"As we look back on ten years of manufacturing in Canton, it's become clear throughout the Nissan network that 'Made in Mississippi' is a stamp of quality and great people," said Bill Krueger, vice chairman of Nissan Americas."With the addition of this new model in Canton, Nissan is well on its way toward meeting our goal to manufacture 85 percent of the vehicles we sell in the U.S. right here in North America."
The new Nissan Murano will showcase a progressive crossover design, and the company will unveil styling cues for future Nissan crossovers on a concept vehicle debuting at the North American International Auto Show on Jan. 14.

I'm already having to think about replacing it.
From: Chris, California
Comments: I purchased this stick a couple weeks ago. Good stick for the price. Not too heavy yet very durable. I've tried other sticks around this price point, and this was the best so far. I play in a adult REC league, and this stick handles it well. I would recommend this stick.

"I'm gonna drop a double cup on your tennis balls!"
Depends on if youre going to OC.
At stock speeds theyre pretty close performance wise, they trade blows pretty evenly.
However, both oc to about 4ghz fairly easily, and at that point the i5 generally wins as its more efficient clock for clock.
Even then it depends on what you want to do, core i series cpus are very, very good at number crunching, so things like FAH and video encoding/decoding and other extremely CPU hungry tasks are dominated by them.
AMD cpus tend to work better for gaming, that AMD cpu trades blows with the i7 920 in games.
Its pretty much a personal preference thing, although in many cases you would get a larger game performance difference saving 30 on the cpu to spend 30 more on the GPU.

Stephen Lynn Kraft
Stephen Lynn Kraft, known to most as Steve or "Grumpa," passed away at his home in Cortez on Nov. 27, 2012, at the age of 75 years old. Steve was born the first of three children on Aug. 7, 1937, to Carl Emery Kraft and Ina Mildred Hawkins in Clinton, Ill.
After graduating from Kremling Union High School in 1955 he entered the United States Air Force. He served for six years and while stationed in Roswell, N.M. he met the love of his life, Delilah Najar. They were joined in marriage May 1, 1959. By the next year they welcomed their first son. In 1962 they moved to Denver where their four other children were born. In 1982 they moved to Cortez where they raised their three youngest children.
Steve ran his own business, Raintight Seamless Gutters, and all the while enjoyed golfing, hunting, fishing, going to the casino and all Colorado-related sports. Being an avid Broncos fan, his family grew up with a passion for the Broncos. Steve loved having his family over so he could barbecue his famous ribs. He loved his family very much and often bragged of them to others.
Steve is survived by his children, Stephen C. Kraft and wife Brenda of Alamosa, Colo., Karen L. Randolph and husband John of Cortez, DeIna S. Robson and husband Robert of Cortez, Randell Ray Kraft of Mesa, Ariz.; and Joni L. White and husband Bruce of Cortez.

At the time, we used the kind of tungsten lighting that had been the standard for decades –– it was heavy, taxed the wattage of the auditorium's outlets, and took hours to cool down to be packed away at the end of the night. If we were producing that show today, we'd use LED technology to do the heavy lifting on stage. While LED technology has been around for decades, until a few years ago the combination of low luminescence and a limited range of color temperatures prevented it from becoming a practical alternative to incandescent and fluorescent technologies. Not anymore.
My experiences with that talk show now has me excited about the new generation of LED lighting kits, which would have made my life (and my production team's life) much easier on location shoots. LED lighting offers some great advantages over tungsten, beginning with a power requirement that's a fraction of what tungsten lights consume; an operating temperature that makes the light fixtures cool enough to handle with your bare hands (even while they're on); and a projected life span of 30,000 hours or more while maintaining consistent color temperatures over the life of the fixtures (this contrasts with incandescent lamps that begin shifting their color temperatures almost immediately).
More and more companies are now making LED lighting products. Some are LED specialists who have pioneered the use of this technology on-set, while others are stalwarts in traditional lighting technologies who have chosen to leverage their expertise to develop LED products that meet the demanding needs of their clientele. To get a feel for where the market currently stands, I checked out the offerings of some prominent players in the LED arena. Here is a representative sampling of some of the newest products out there.
Nila is focused on the high-yield end of the market. Nila President Jim Sanfilippo says their products are best compared to par and HMI lighting units. Each JNH module shoots out the equivalent of a 200W daylight (HMI) or 350W tungsten fixture, while drawing only 65W. The company's flagship JNH line of lights could be called the "Lego of LEDs" due to their ability to stack together in line in configurations of up to five and up to a 2x3 six pack providing up to 1200W daylight (HMI) or 2000W tungsten light-equivalent output, while drawing only 390W of power.
Cinematographer Christian Sebaldt, ASC has been shooting movies and television shows for over 20 years. He was just nominated for an ASC Award for the Television Episodic Series/Pilot category for "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - Family Affair," a Jerry Bruckheimer Production. Sebaldt was one of the first people to field-test Nila's SL and Boxer lights. The Boxer is a 250W fixture that puts out as much light as an 800W HMI and comes with a DMX-controllable dimmer, while the SL is a direct replacement for a 6000W tungsten space light that draws only 850W. Even though the SL is built as a safe light, Sebaldt used it as a par. "I use the Nila lights on 'CSI' as a quick backlight on the actors or for splashes along the walls in the background," says Sebaldt. "They are strong, but very compact and easy to hide. Sometimes a last-minute little accent light is needed on the set and, since they are easily dimmable, they come in handy for that as well." Sebaldt recently shot the feature film Don't Fall Asleep with a digital SLR on a very low budget. "We had to shoot in a house built in the 1930s with limited power resources, and we couldn't use a generator," he says. "With these lights we were able to completely light the set using existing power from the house." Sebaldt also used the SL as a backlight source with 150 feet of extension cord to have an exposure on the street where they were shooting.

When we read Mike Bardon's letter to the editor in the Emery County Progress entitled "Time For Change" we were amazed and a little saddened by the authors' failure to understand the facts of Congressman Matheson's record representing us in Congress.
For those of us who have paid attention to what our Congressman is doing, Congressman Matheson's ability to appreciate the issues facing rural Utah has been more than satisfying. He voted in favor of President Bush's Healthy Forests Initiative�which is something that will help rehabilitate our forests and in most cases provide economic opportunities for rural areas.
Congressman Matheson is also the only member of our Congressional Delegation that has been working to find a solution to the century old conflict over the Gooseberry Narrows conflict. This is an issue that would have major detrimental impacts on the water source for Carbon and Emery counties.
Congressman Matheson is the only member of our delegation that has introduced legislation to amend President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act�an act that has disproportionate negative impacts on rural Utah. And rural Utah will also benefit from Congressman Matheson's attempts to ensure health effects are considered before nuclear testing is resumed in Nevada.
Congressman Matheson voted for the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that was signed by President Bush in November�in fact the President even invited Matheson to be present at the signing of the bill; He also voted in favor of the Unborn Victims of Violence Act.
Congressman Matheson is representing the interest of Rural Utah.

fantabulous!!!!! These wedges are classy and beautiful...had to have em they look good with almost everything and are loaded with bling!!! May 5, 2013
These shoes has great quality Omg!!!!These shoes are Beautiful!!! When I first saw them I had to have these shoes I got them in black thinking about ordering the tan ones!! May 1, 2013
Great Quality and Fit Love this shoe, very comfortable and goddess looking!! May 1, 2013
I'm broken hearted :( Why? Why does the second strap (in the ankle) has to be so big??? The first one (top - ankle) is loose but not as much as the second one, I can't do like that, it's not adjustable. It looks very bad, the fit on that part is just w-r-o-n-g ... They are gorgeous otherwise, run true to size, are lightweight and are comfortable to walk in but all my friends and I passed on this one because of that inconvenient strap. Both colors have the same problem. I have normal ankles, not skinny nor fat and yet the shoe looks very SILLY once on. Please try in store before you buy or else you'll be disappointed ... April 29, 2013
Not the best fit The shoe looks beautiful and it is comfortable, the cork is lightweight and easy to walk on. The problem is the straps around the ankle and foot are too large and shake when walking. The sole fits perfectly. If you have narrow feet or tiny ankles, these will not fit you properly. Sending them back. April 28, 2013

By CONNIE COPENHAVERGreen River
Dear Editor,
As a citizen volunteering in my community to suppress the use of tobacco products and assist quit-smoking programs, I am concerned about a proposal to require the FDA to regulate tobacco products.
Now included as part of the FSC/ETI bill set to be considered by a Senate-House conference committee in September, the DeWine/Kennedy amendment would provide the Food and Drug Admin. (FDA) with certain authority to regulate tobacco products.
If this bill were enacted, the current public discussion regarding the possible benefits of tobacco harm reduction could be seriously curtailed. This bill essentially makes FDA the gatekeeper for what information the media, and the consumer, may have access to. The passage of this FDA regulation would suppress important health information about the relative risk of tobacco products. This bill would change the core mission of a federal agency without having the issue ever studied by Congress. The 600+ page bill never had a committee hearing, markup or floor debate. It has not been discussed with FDA officials to determine if they would even be able to handle it. This legislation needs to be thoroughly reviewed by Congress so that its impact is understood, and not attached to a different bill without any study.
The FDA bill will allow monopolies of big tobacco companies by suppressing any new or smaller companies, and curtailing the necessity of big tobacco to continue public dialogue regarding tobacco harm reduction.
The millions, perhaps billions, of tax dollars it will take to set up a new "Bureau" could be much better spent on existing programs for quit-smoking and non- smoking ad campaigns, and for grass-roots programs, to educate children on the harmful effects of tobacco products, to encourage them to never start, and help them, and their adult parents, manage the problems inherent with quitting.
If you would like to stop this bill from happening, you need to contact Senator Hatch immediately with a written letter or email at Senator Orrin Hatch, 104 Hart Senate Office Bldg., Washington, D.C. 20510, hatch.senate.gov.

I saw Doors of the 21st Century on New Years Eve 2004 in Anaheim. That was a great fucking show.
American Football in the Gobi preferably at night
Since we are on the topic of emo bands, how about Further Seems Forever. They released a new album this year with the original lineup that is actually pretty good.
I would be happy with Chris Carraba doing "The Moon is Down" but I think reunions like Texas is the Reason and Jawbreaker are more on par with Coachella.
Youre probably right about TitR...hopefully I'll snag a couple on Friday when the go on sale for DC.
I could die happy if I ever got to see Jawbreaker play live.
Man, a Capn' Jazz or preferably an American Football reunion would be awesome.

A second win in a row, two goals for Archibald, Wolves overwhelm Bulldogs.
Patrick Johnston
December 14 2012 02:47PM
After two goals and a fight against Hamilton, did Darren Archibald go get himself a beer?
(Photo: Chris Jerina/AHL in Photos)
In a middling season, are the Chicago Wolves' fortunes about to swing back up? The Canucks' minor leaguers opened the year with four straight wins, but until last night's win over Hamilton, they hadn't won two successive games since that ferocious opening.
Powered by two well-taken goals by Darren Archibald - plus a fight from the big winger - the Wolves controlled the game nearly to the end. A pair of late goals from the Bulldogs made it close on the scoreboard (4-3), but it was an impressive performance by a Wolves squad that hasn't had many impressive performances this year.
More on Darren Archibald after the jump. (Oh, and yes, on the rest of the team, too.)
- First up, the chance counts. Through two periods, it was firmly the Wolves night. The Bulldogs were kept outside and they fired many shots from very low-percentage spots. The Wolves, on the other hand, were confident driving to the net and the chance count reflects that. It was 7-3 after one, and 16-7 after two.
- With their third goal of the game (Darren Haydar's second of the season) coming just 1:25 into the third period, the Wolves looked well-and-truly on their way to victory. Chasing the game, the Bulldogs managed 3 goals from 9 chances, bringing the final tally to 19-16 for the Wolves.
- Billy Sweatt was outstanding, using his speed to cause trouble all over the ice. He had an outstanding shorthanded chance in the second period, where he forced a turnover at the Hamiton blueline and then roared in on net. No goal, though. Finishing is always going to be a problem, that much is clear, but he does so many things well. He may be verging on the Jannik Hansen-third liner track.
- Archibald's first goal wasn't a chance, as he whacked the puck towards the front of the net from the side of the net; the puck caromed into the net. It was one of those 'take-what-you-get' goals. His second was very impressive. Archibald was causing havoc in front, and when the puck squirted away to his left, he showed great balance in strength in twisting to collect the puck and firing it past Bulldogs goalie Cedrick Desjardins.
- Just over a minute later, Archibald threw down with Zack Stortini. It wasn't much of a tussle, just a few blows each way, but if you are looking for a willingness to stick up for himself and thinks it represents something, this would be a fine example.
- Playing with Brett Sterling and Andrew Ebbett, Zack Kassian had a strong first period. Recording three chances off the rush, Kassian showed off his strong, powerful skating. They were tough shots for Desjardins and Kassian's linemates were close to pouncing on the rebounds twice. Ebbett and Sterling both picked up chances late in the second, off quick passing plays, but neither found their way to the back of the net.
- Darren Haydar played with Jordan Schroeder and Sweatt; they were a dangerous trio all night. The veteran captain managed four chances in the game, his goal coming off a rebound produced from a strong wrap-around effort by Sweatt.
- Peter Andersson's first goal in North America was a good wrister from the top of the circle that found its way through a screen. Desjardins barely moved. Chalk it up as 'got be good to be lucky.'
- Tim Miller and Mike Davies were useful in limited minutes, with Davies having two fine chances to score. Alex Friesen started the game as their centre, but didn't see much ice. Nathan Longpre took a few extra shifts in his place.
- Matt Climie was solid, though he didn't have much challenging work until a late 5-on-3 for the Bulldogs.
- Until the late advantages, Hamilton's powerplay was totally inept, showing very little movement off the puck and not asking much of the Wolves' pk unit. Even with the two man advantage, they couldn't find a goal, though they managed three quality chances.
I haven't seen a lot of coverage on the defense lately, how's Tanev and Connauton doing? Is Arniel still keeping them on different pairings?

Rated 4.9 out of 5Â by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NE native Comfortable and pretty I have theses sandals in white and am thinking of getting an additional color. They are extremely comfortable....even with plantar fasciitis. They are forgiving if your foot is a bit wide....I often wear a wide shoe but not in these. I do think they run a bit short but with the open toe it's not a huge issue. I will likely go up a bit in size with next pair as that will provide a roomier fit. So...if you are in between whole sizes, go up. Either way, these shoes will be very kind to your feet for many hours during the day. July 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Skk Love the way they look! They are comfortable, however they run a little small. I normally wear an 8 or 8 1/2 I had to return them for a 9. Keep that in mind when making this purchase. Love them! June 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by shereegee pretty, comfy shoes I wanted shoes that looked very nice but we're comfortable with a rubber sole for an upcoming cruise. After wearing these shoes around the house to see how they feel, I've found them. A new summer season, a new pair of go to summer sandals! March 24, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Persnickity Pretty shoe This is a pretty shoe and comfortable, but they run a little small. March 24, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Burgandy Women's Leathr Cutwork Slingbacks The shoes are beautiful! Very comfortable and the leather is soft. The only thing to me seems like they run a half size smaller, maybe even an 8th smaller than USA ladies dress shoes. I can wear them but my toes are almost to the very end of the shoe in the front and my heel almost to the very back of the shoe. No toes or heels hang over so I am keeping them but next time I order these type shoes I will order a half size larger. September 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by DanceCat Comfortable from the time you put them on. Nice white Italian leather is soft and comfortable. Support of wedge is great for resolving lower back problems. Easy to wear and nice style. Only issue is trying to figure out the right size to order. I normal wear an 8 US, but ordered the larger 8-1/2 and they fit perfectly. I will likely order in another color. June 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MI Senior Lovely Shoes ! Very comfortable shoe, did not require a "breaking in" period. Best of all, a "dressy" or lady-like look to the shoe, for those of us who can't wear the heels or dress-up look any longer. June 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Pupsy Why I bought the same shoes again. I bought the first three pair of these shoes last year. The shoes are very comfortable, they are elegant, the colors are basic(black, white and beige), they are leather, they are well made and the cost is reasonable. I liked those three pairs of shoes so much that I decided to buy two more pairs this year just in case. May 29, 2015

I never thought otherwise, tobi meaning the number of people to have gained access to the sage's power (rinnegan), not meaning an individual represented a single path.
As for "two of the paths now one being".. i think it's not so badly translated when you take into account kabuto's approach to becoming the "fourth" sage of the 6 paths. His approach was to infuse the powers of specific bloodlines into his body. Each bloodline in this case is either a major or minor bloodline originating more closely from the sage. When you also remember that orochimaru was after ultimate knowledge and jutsu, experimented with senju powers and had very unique subjects in his hideout (which now comprise taka /hebi) , bloodlines, certain ones, contain a fragment of the sage's power. Sasuke walking with members of those minor bloodlines (Karin as uzumaki would be one of the three major bloodlines) can now be considered to have sage potential depending on how he wants to approach it. If course, it seems nobody can truly have the sage's power without rinnegan. I think tobi meant that statement to stand on face value.
That's my take, anyway. Paths can mean either realm, bloodline, or power stemming from either. The bloodline and realm must share the base in order to correspond on each end.
Edit: thanks to jean-marie i was able to address my own problem. Always wondered why senju was so important when uzumaki is often used synonymously by having arguably better vitality and stamina, not to mention they preserved and used ultimate sealing techniques (senju have squat except for hashirama's mokuton). It seems that in tobi's lecture he points out the key senju trait. While it isn't necessarily a technique or jutsu it is key property of all things. The senju bloodline contained the power to grant life. I know it was obvious for a long time, i just never really discerned it as a unique thing to treat senju differently than uzumaki. While uzumaki have abundance of vitality for its,members, it lacks the mystic quality of "breathing life" into imagination and vitality isn't the same thing.
Now, i wonder if namikaze will be revealed to be a minor bloodline like jugo and suigetsu's bloodlines seem to be. If the cloud village had so many treasures and traditions from the sage then there must be descending clans from either brother. Since minato's abilities were in the raikage's league i wonder if namikaze comes from cloud originally and was part of the clouds piece of sage heritage /lineage.

"I've purchased several Carter's brand sneakers over the years, and was very pleased with the infant shoe sizes in this stylehowever, when I purchased these in a toddler 11, I was very disappointed. Seems like the quality took a dive. This shoe was very difficult to put on, the heel part is soft and folds into the shoe when trying to slip his foot in - needed a shoe horn to get them on properly. Even more frustrating, my son wore these for a little over two months, and the rubber sole is completely separated from the front of the fabric of the shoe on both shoes. My son is pretty easy on shoes, and we've never experienced this problem before with other brands - I will not be buying toddler sized Carters again."

Harley Earl to Reign as Miss USU Eastern 2014.
A five-foot-five-inch point guard on USU Eastern's basketball team was crowned Miss USU Eastern 2014 on March 19 in the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center. Harley Earl from Corrine, Utah, will represent USU Eastern at the Miss Utah Pageant in Salt Lake City in June. The daughter of Cobly and Stacie Earl, is the diversity representative for the student association and is majoring in elementary education. She graduated from Box Elder High School in 2012.
The 20-year-old sophomore sang "Let It Go" for the talent portion of the contest and maintains a 3.6 GPA. Her platform was to get kids involved in sports. "My best relationships I developed in my life all happened because I was involved in sports," she said. "It's a niche that I love and will always be thankful for."
Earl said she had never competed in a beauty pageant before and it is a crazy story of how she ended up being part of the pageant. "The student government adviser asked me to help with the pageant because they were trying to get more women involved. My best friend agreed to be part of the pageant and I told her that I would do it to support her. My friend ended up dropping out and I stayed in."
"So I tried something new and here I am Miss USU Eastern," she said. "It is not something I would have thought I would do, in fact, I would probably tell people, are you kidding, I'm not beauty pageant material."
She liked the skills she learned in the pageant including the interview. "I can see myself successfully interviewing for a job and carrying myself with confidence."
Because of her athleticism growing up, she admits to learning how to be more lady-like around people.
Earl plans to return to USU Eastern her junior year as she continues her degree in elementary education.
The first runner up was Samantha Jones of Price. She is the daughter of Scott and Joelle Jones. She serves as a cheerleader and community relations representative for the USU Eastern Student Association. Her major is legal studies.
Second runner up and Miss Congeniality is Bonnie Jean Blackburn of Centerville, Utah. The daughter of Brent and Carolyn Blackburn, she is the captain of the USU Eastern swing club, an ambassador and member of The Eagle staff. She is studying early childhood development.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Another one I think would be good could be based on the computer animated TV series Shadowraiders. The show has been cancelled for a while (Booh! Hiss!) but there is a LOT there to work with MMO-wise. Four initial races based on primary elements (Fire, Ice, Rock and Bone), plus the Beast Planet. You could have fleet battles, politics between the various races, do resource raids since each planet doesn't produce enough of various resources, etc...the MMO could be based before the series, so during the resource wars, or perhaps just after the series ended and the Beast Planet shows up again since it was able to absorb the warp engine technology of the prison world.
Where's the any key?
Hands down...
The series Rings of the Master by Jack Chalker. Mankind invents a super-computer and imbedded in it's programming is the rule to save mankind. The computer takes out all other technology, reverting earth to the 14th? century and then transforming man to colonize space, thereby "saving" mankind. Four books in the series and a great read. This series is so ripe for a MMO conversion, not only the layout of the worlds, time and the plot, throwing in the controlling computer for spice.
"Long ago, the machines had rebelled, wiping out most of humanity and exiling the survivors in widely scattered reservations. Master System ruled unchallenged, the key to breaking its power -- five microchips disguised as gold rings, carefully hidden away. But then an Amerindian called Hawks stumbled across information about the five rings, and suddenly Master System developed an interest in seeing Hawks dead . . ."
Night Watch was brilliant, even if the storylines became a little confusing later on (for me) both films were great too.
My IP vote will always go to a Stargate MMO - one that gets made and delivered that is. So much potential

My first thought was of Riverworld, but I never expected to see it in the thread. I was quite surprised to see it in the first post.
I was also thinking of a series by the same author (Phillip Jose Farmer) where the world was to crowded so everyone could only be animated one day a week and the other six days they were put in a state of suspended animation. Of course some of the people figure out a way to get around it. Can't recall the name of of the series, think it was Dayworld, or something, but I see a lot of potential for that.
How about a Dayworld MMO. The future setting is an overpopulated world so humans are put in a state of suspended animation for six days out of the week, and are allowed to live one day a week, thus only 1/7th of the worlds population is active at any given time. Of course the main plot of the stories are people that figure out how to get around the suspended animation to be active on the days they should be asleep.
Written by Phillip Jose Farmer who wrote Riverworld. (I tried putting this in my quote of Keoughs post, but must have goofed up.)
Soulmirror, I really enjoyed Rings of the Masters. That would be a good choice too.
The world of Lone Wolf (Magnamund).
Eclipse Phase or Cthulhutech.
"As a foulness ya shall know them."
Deadwood or some other Old West setting. I think it would have to be a full sandbox style game. Having too much of the world already built would take away the best aspect of the setting which would be building your own towns and businesses.
I tried to come up with some answers, but the thought of seeing another IP that I love and cherish being destroyed by the likes of EA or ATARI just seems unforgivable.
If I were to list one favorite old school Playstation game that I wouldnt mind seeing fleshed out into a MMO, it would be "Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen". However, I can't see the replayability in something like that.
The only things that stand out for me that would make it unique would be that the player has to level and unlock new skills in order to reach new areas and solve new puzzles to progress further in the game.
I could see the choice between becoming a "Good Vampire" by feeding only off of evil creatures, and a "Bad Vampire" who feeds off helpless humans being a pivotal feature, with good and evil townships that are safe-havens for each, but then it gets into the murky waters of being another clone based on factions, and that's getting stale unless you throw more than two factions into the mix (ala DAoC).
But we already have CCCP's "World of Darkness" based on Vampire: The Masquerade on the way, so the vampire thing is already being done.
I didn't read all the comments but did see the words Shadowrun, Rifts and Pokemon plus the article said Magic which I would love to see all of them as well done MMOs but not sure if they would be.
Since playing videogames and reading the books about planeswalkers then Magic does seem like it could be a lot of fun if you actually had to go and recruit creatures and learn spells and make connections with the lands.
Pokemon seems like one that should be so good to do. With the ability to do battles, contests, training, breeding and all the other activities then that would be one that seems to offer so many options. Enough lands with championship battles that could actually have large events ever few months.
Rifts just has so much stuff that could be used.
Shadowrun is one that I am not sure how well it would work but sounds interesting with Rigging and Decking combined with bioware and cyberware with magic being alive but seems like it would be more of a heavily instanced game with potential PvP missions but still small numbers of people.
The only decent MMO adaption was Star Wars Galaxies. Let's please stop trying. They never work. The more money that goes into an MMO, the more boring and disappointing it becomes.

I'm right there with you. There were a few TSR games that got over-shadowed by D&D. Add Gamma World, Boot Hill, and even the Cold War setting of Top Secret to that list. There are so many possibilities for each of those. When I was a kid we played mixed Car Wars and Gamma World rule sets and played some Gamma World by itself. Top Secret is kind of dated and limited as an MMO. TSW fills the action spy concept much better, but I don't like how some of the core details, especially the cash shop part.
I loved Traveller. It was my favorite. There was so much you could do with that universe. It still has a lot of potential.
The devil is always in the details with any MMO and they never end up how the early concepts envision them. The closer they come to release the more they take on practical aspects of revenue generation, mass appeal, publisher demands and requirements, advertising, and so on. The more the practical comes into being it seems the more the deeper appealing concepts get watered down.
The World of Ravenloft: Done with the Mists and all
Farscape/Firefly/ Homeworld/ Mass Effect: A scifi MMO that can manage to mix grit into the fantastic is sorely needed.
Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series: Multiple branches of magic in sprawling areas with multiple hostile races/ furies in the setting of the Roman Empire.

Look, I know you guys need something to write an acticle about, but these "What IP/World would make a good MMORPG?" discussions arent helping move the genre forward.
In fact I believe it contributes to holding it back.
We dont need any more established IPs becoming MMOs. They all fail.
Putting up articles like this, and having people respond with their own ides, just adds fuel to the wildfire that is substandard and shallow MMOs because it gives game companies the idea that we the players would prefer them over something original.
Please, please, please! Game Development Companies! Create something unique to you. Not something already thought up by someone else.
Original MMO Worlds > Pre-established IP Worlds
Just because you have a famous IP doesn't mean you can't have good gameplay too. The fault is with gamedevs/companies take the easy/less risky route, not IP vs original creation.
I'd like to see an MMO set in a distant,melancholy future ala Philip K. Dickian style.
I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.
I always thought that Vampire Earth would make a good MMO setting.
Quislings vs Territorials
WHEEL OF TIME!!!! WHY?!?!1 Because you couldnt handle it! The world is to massive!
Hero Evermore
Guild Master of Dragonspine since 1982.
Playing Path of Exile and deeply in love with it.
I loved the Watch books. It could be very interesting: in the 4th book they had progressive layers of the gloom-you could have PVP maps that would get progressively more difficult to master or something. And of course the whole Alan Wake flashlight thing is straight out of it.
When the films came out I bought a very strange Russian RPG based on it -running around Moscow hunting vampires and shape-shifters.

The more money that goes into something (the licensing fees and critical attention) the more likely a game is to be a boring WoW clone like LotRO, Age of Conan, or SWTOR. I've only ever see one adaption that worked out and it was SWG, and even that game had huge issues (even before NGE)
The Wild Cards series would make an amazing super hero MMO
* Harry Potter (Durrrrr)
* DAOC 2 (Please!!!!!!!)
* Star Trek (Because STO doesn't do it justice)
* Big Trouble in Little China (Oh yea...you know you'd be on that like white on rice!)
Gotta agree with Harry Potter
I would die if i heard of a Resident Evil MMO (think of it like outbreak but good because you can actually communicate)
Grand Theft Auto/Saints Row style MMO that doesnt require missions for PVP. (talking about you APB)
Nobunaga's Ambision or Bushido Blade (these titles may be a little old for you Youngins)
Because i can.
I'm Hopeful For Every Game, Until the Fan Boys Attack My Games. Then the Knives Come Out.
Logic every gamers worst enemy.

ill agree with Shadowrun, so long as they have permadeath. if no permadeath in the game then its not shadowrun.
Because i can.

Shadowrun would be great, but I doubt they'd ever manage to create something that comes even close to its potential, so we might be better off without it.
Also quite ironic how half the suggestions by the writer in a column titled "No Elves Allowed" has elves in it.

American Idol viewers hate a villain. And they don't care much for showboats, either.
Curtis Finch Jr., the first singer from the Top 10 sent home this season, turned out to be both. Back in Hollywood, he made no secret of his disdain for the other contestants, particularly an ailing and awkward Charlie Askew. And his penchant for over-the-top urban gospel-pop ballads sealed his fate Thursday.
The beautiful irony? Askew was there for the announcement of the results. As the sixth-place male finisher in the semifinals, Askew and his female counterpart, Aubrey Cleland, sang for a spot on this summer's American Idols Live tour.
LIVE BLOG: 'Idol' as it happened
Askew performed an original song called Sky Blue Diamond, an odd but pretty number that might have earned him a spot in the Top 10 had he chosen to sing it last week. Cleland showed herself to be just another of this season's ballad singers, doing Out Here on My Own like she was competing for a county-fair beauty pageant.
The results night had other news, as well. For years, Idol has given viewers a Bottom Three. This year, Ryan Seacrest announced a Top Three -- Candice Glover, Kree Harrison and Angie Miller, in no particular order. (Don't be surprised if this Top Three is the Top Three near the end of the season, as well.) Then Seacrest gave rankings for fourth through eighth place: Lazaro Arbos, Amber Holcomb, Janelle Arthur, Burnell Taylor and Paul Jolley. (Note: Only one guy made the Top Six.)
That left Finch and Devin Velez in the bottom spots. And it also put Nicki Minaj in a weird spot, as she told Finch, "If you go home, I go home."
And even though the judges had made no secret they believed Finch had one of the season's best voices, they couldn't all agree to save him. Minaj, in particular, looked shocked and stunned, telling Seacrest she felt like they needed another minute and hadn't had a chance to fully discuss the situation. But she'll have to be persuasive more quickly in the future. "I know it's a live show," she said.
And, though Finch won't, Minaj will probably return for next week's show. (So don't get your hopes up, haters.) Maybe she'll even be on time.

Parsing the Power of Bishop Eddie Long and the Black Church: An Interview with Anthea Butler
Bishop Eddie Long (in white suit) embraces a friend in his first appearance before parishioners at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. (photo: John Amis/Getty Images)
Allegations that Bishop Eddie Long coerced four young men to have unwanted sexual contact have riveted the media. In his first appearance before his congregation of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church east of Atlanta, Bishop Long fell short of a resounding denial of these charges.
Understanding that his "anti-homosexual" theology and activism make these accusations particularly controversial, we invited religion scholar Anthea Butler to help us understand the dynamics at play within the black church and a scholar's perspective on the news coverage of this story.
She is associate professor of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and a regular contributor to Religion Dispatches. She is a past guest of this program and has written extensively about the role of women in the Pentecostal movement, especially in the Church of God in Christ, a predominantly African-American denomination that is the fifth-largest Christian tradition in the United States. We corresponded with her by email.
Is this story getting the coverage it deserves? Or is the coverage extreme? Would the story receive such prominence if his accusers were young women? Is it getting different coverage because he's African American?
Yes, the story is receiving the coverage it deserves, not only in America, but globally. He has staked a portion of his ministerial message on homosexuality as "sin" and same sex marriage is wrong in a global context, so it is also fair to question his alleged activities.
If the accusers were women, this case would not receive that much coverage at all, sadly. I don't think Long is getting different coverage because he is African American. I think the "responses" are different because the African-American community has been so shocked, and more importantly, his physical appearance (buffed out muscular body) is so unlike most pastors we see, Ted Haggard included, that his very physical being is also being critiqued along with the allegations.
You have written that this story presents a challenge to the black church in America to get over their homophobia. You recently wrote:
"The real story, however, is that this case explodes the cover of the black church's internal don't ask, don't tell policy which has had a profound effect on the community and its followers. It's very interesting that the Long scandal broke almost immediately after black pastors led by Bishop Harry Jackson came together with the Family Research Council to oppose the repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Act. Many black pastors have staked their entire ministries on the 'family' and the obsession with mainstream gender norms that encourage heterosexual marriage, abstinence, and patriarchal norms."
How are attitudes toward homosexuality in the black church distinct from the anti-homosexual theology of other Christian churches in this country?
The attitudes about the black church are distinctive because, even though the party line is anti-homosexual, there are plenty of gay people in black churches. The don't ask, don't tell policy of the churches allows for people to be a part of the congregation, welcomed, but consistently exposed to a message of "second class, sinful citizenship" because of their sexual preference. And that is wrong.
The other part that is different is that the black church's stance is not only biblical, but it's about social respectability and attempting to rectify disparities — for instance, the high rate of unmarried African-American women. Homosexuality is perceived to be a reason why black women are such a high percentage of those who are unmarried.

Among the elements that distinguish this story are that the alleged sexual contact was coercive (different moral ground hiring a prostitute, as in the Ted Haggard story) and that it involved young men for whom Long was a very powerful authority figure. You point out that the role of the central, powerful, charismatic pastor in congregational life is dangerous on many levels. And yet isn't it precisely those qualities that make churches like New Life [megachurch formerly led by Ted Haggard] successful, and draw so many people?
Yes, it is what make these churches successful, but in the case of New Life, the bishop is policing his members, but who polices/disciplines him? Charismatic authority can run amok, but it is in congregations like New Birth — that don't have an oversight board that can both protect and discipline the pastor — that these types of issues can get out of hand. If there is an oversight board for New Birth, the best way they could protect both Bishop Long and the congregation is to have him sit out a time period until the case is adjudicated. However, since New Birth is Bishop Long, I doubt that will happen.
Many of us are involved personally with religious communities that are organized in strict hierarchies that reserve power to a small number of leaders with few checks and balances. That's something we see a lot of in secular organizations as well (though without the presumption that the hierarchy is sanctioned by the deity). Arguably, this is a model of human organization that has proven consistently ineffective at best, and criminal at worst. Some people would say that religion itself, faith itself, is the problem. Is there a way in which religion can be part of a solution?
More oversight and a willingness to turn people in to the authorities (police) would be a start. Many communities harbor and move about leaders involved in scandals; the Catholic Church is the model for how churches move around problem clergy rather than taking definitive legal action. I do believe that, as these incidences rise, the privileges religious officials (non-taxable status for example) enjoy in this country right now could be on their way out in the next few years if the public outcry continues.
In the coverage we've all seen and in writings on this story, the term "the black church" is ubiquitous. I myself use it for convenience. But is it fair to use this aggregating term to represent African-American Christians? Is it dangerous to cast this as such a broad and monolithic category, like "the Muslim world?"
It's not exactly "fair" because this moniker means different things to different people. On the other hand, It is ubiquitous, and, although I would say that New Birth is not a traditional black church because of its size, it is because the majority of its population is African American. So to say the black church, the term that W.E.B DuBois used, is a "space" to hold lots of tensions that seem to aggregate around the social purpose of the black church (social justice and community) and the "practice" of the black church (song, prayers, preaching, etc.). It may be dangerous because it doesn't fully express the myriad of black religious expression in the United States. But, then again, it is a term that, when spoken, is recognizable. In that sense, I don't think it will fall out of use.
