NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) Matt Hunter led five players in double figures with 21 points and seven rebounds and Brandon Peel posted his first career double-double to help Central Connecticut State hold off Sacred Heart 84-78 Thursday night in a Northeast Conference battle.
Peel, a freshman who has started the last three games for CCSU (6-8, 2-1), finished with 17 points and 17 rebounds, both career highs. Kyle Vinales added 15 points and seven assists, Malcolm McMillan tallied 12 points and seven rebounds and Terrell Allen pulled down 11 boards for the Blue Devils, who grabbed a season-high 49 rebounds.
CCSU took its first lead, 53-52, behind two McMillan free throws with 9:02 left. From there, the score changed eight times before Hunter converted a 3-pointer that sparked an 18-13 run over the final 4 minutes for the Blue Devils.
Shane Gibson and Steve Glowiak had 22 apiece for Sacred Heart (4-10, 2-1).

In the following verse, did Jesus in fact say the word, the name of God, that no Jew would dare to say aloud at that time?
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground (John 18:6)

In the following verse, did Jesus in fact say the word, the name of God, that no Jew would dare to say aloud at that time?
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground (John 18:6)
Jesus seems to have followed, out of courtesy, the taboo by the Rabbis on pronouncing the Lords name (יהוה) Yahweh as though there was something sacred about it. This was not the original practice of the Hebrews but a ban on pronouncing the name started to appear around the time of Antiochus IV (175 BC).
Simply from the fact that the New Testament never brings up any kafuffle about the name it is clear Jesus respected the superstition as a man of peace. The Jews wanted to kill him for declaring He was Jehovah, not for simply pronouncing the name. Curiously there is 'another modern movement' based on seeming high degrees of confusion over the so called 'sacred name', and there is even a website dedicated to arresting its development here.
The verse itself seems to simply mean that when Jesus spoke, his breath was like his infinite power bringing his enemies to their knees. It signifies that Jesus could have destroyed them all in a 'burp' but it was His will to surrender as a Lamb to be slain.
Regarding the taboo itself as it is not even mentioned in the Bible anywhere it was never considered significant enough to respond to, or even record the history of.
I am writing this as an expression of disappointment with the answer provided by Mike, particularly their statement
... Lords name Yahweh as though there was something sacred about it
"as though there was something sacred about it' is very strongly disrespectful to the One who brought about Mike's existence.
Firstly, writing
Lords rather than
LORD's indicates his incomplete understanding of the significance of the name even when applied to the realm of established Christian theology. If not incomplete understanding, then at least complete disregard for established Christian theology on the matter.
Where this phenomenon is widespread in lay-theologians' frustration with the intransigence of Jews' accepting the Christian gospel. An acceptance that would complete their confidence in their own Christian faith. Just as much as Jews' acceptance of the Quran would bolster the confidence of Muslims in their faith.
This phenomenon is exhibited by Watchman Nee's insistence that the Sabbath is put on hold, until the "2nd coming of Jesus". I have heard many radical Evangelical hard-driving pastors express such views and Mike's opinion of Jewish superstition. Despite that Jesus declared that he is the provider of Sabbath and that observance of Sabbath:
Come unto me all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.—Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
I wish people to understand why Jewish "refusal" to pronounce the Name is not a superstition and not a kerfuffle.
The source of "the problem":
Of course, discussion of this topic is incomplete without quoting Exodus 20:6 (20:7 in Christian translations)
לא תשּא את שם יהוה אלהיך לשוא
You shall not act/tolerate towards Name of
the LORD your g-d in void/emptiness/futility.
You will not come before the presence of your LORD empty-handed and in futility.
It is not a refusal to pronounce. Jews believe in pronouncing the name of the LORD. Except that the Name cannot be pronounced verbally.
To pronounce the Name of the LORD verbally is pejorative. Pronouncing the Name yahweh would be like meeting a Chinese person and calling him/her "Chink". Very quick and efficient but totally inaccurate way of describing that person. Not to say disrespectful.
Encouraging pronouncing yahweh is not only pejorative, but perjury - bearing false witness to the nature of our Creator.
Many radical Evangelical layman have sought a quick and painless way to address the issue of "simplicity of the gospel". I had a childhood friend with whom I attended Engineering school, who believed that the message of the gospel of Jesus is so simple that the only scripture that need to be read is the KJV. When I tried to go into the exegesis of the Greek or Hebrew, he would sweep aside my attempts saying that his god will not provide a gospel which required believers to attempt complex exegesis in order to gain salvation. I realised that many in his religious social circle held similar views too.
If Mike is also of such nature, I rest my case.
It was a relatively "recent phenomenon"
Proponents of the yahweh pronunciation point to the Jewish refusal to pronounce the Name as "relatively recent" phenomenon. It started only 200 years after the building of the 2nd temple, and therefore such Jewish practice is fraudulent.
First of all, there is no proof that this tradition did not exist during the time of David or Moses.
2ndly, to say that being a "relatively recent" phenomenon is to invalidate 1Peter 1:7 or Proverbs 17:3.
To say that after trials and tribulations of wars and conflicts and exile, and the subsequent Jewish return to their homeland is not entitled a more accurate understanding of their LORD, of the Name of the LORD. That the Jewish graduation towards a more precise understanding of the nature of their Creator is indeed fraudulent.
If such Jewish enlightenment 200 years prior to the appearance of Jesus is fraudulent, then the enlightenment of Jesus must indeed be fraudulent too. Would you say that?
Knowing your Creator
I read JI Packer's book, but after 1/4 I started flipping.
The Jewish view is that our Creator is unknowable - meaning that we humans are capable of knowing a tiny dot of the whole infinite nature of the Creator. To say that we can know His complete nature, and therefore qualified to pronounce the Name verbally, is the actual fraud.
Do you think that the high priest would survive his once-a-year encounter within the Holy of Holies if he had not pronounced the Name properly for the whole year? Would he survive if he came to the Presence of the LORD empty-handed? That he did not save a widow from being bullied by her neighbours? That he proposed against the collection of taxes to provide health-care to those who have none - would he survive the encounter?
What is pronouncing the Name? By saying "yahweh"? Just a quick simple efficient dropping a coin in the box and buy your salvation through such an indulgence? Superstition?
The Calvinist quarters of Christianity has driven too deep a dichotomy between Faith and Works. That so long as you have Faith, Works can take a back seat and your salvation is assured. Not realising that the Hebrew word for faith encompasses assuredness, trustworthiness, confidence, truth, agreement. Not realising that the word for prayer and devotion is the same word as Work - avodah.
Faith and Works are the two sides of the same coin. You cannot even start attempting pronouncing the Name without indulging yourself in good works. Vice versa, that your good works are but vanity without the equivalent Faith.
Thou shalt not come to the Presence of the LORD empty-handed in futility and in vain. Not to say that good works and faith completes the pronouncing of the Name - I dare not say that. That would be committing a presumptuous sin.
I counsel thee to buy from me gold that is purified by fire, so that you can cover your embarrassing nakedness - I know there is such a verse in Revelation 18 somewhere.

Currently, more than 222 million women in developing countries want to delay or avoid pregnancy but are not using a modern method of family planning. World Contraception Day , which takes place on September 26, 2013, draws attention to the importance of increasing access to contraceptive information and services for all who want them.
Every day, an estimated 800 women lose their lives due to pregnancy- or childbirth-related complications. By enabling women to delay pregnancy and space pregnancies at safe intervals, family planning could reduce maternal deaths by 30 percent and save the lives of more than 1.6 million children under 5 each year. When individuals or couples have the ability to choose the timing and spacing of their children, they are better equipped to provide for their family's well-being and invest more resources in the health and education of their children.
USAID programs and services are designed to protect individuals' rights to affordable, high quality family planning information, commodities and services as a means to improve their health and quality of life. As the world's largest bilateral donor of family planning, USAID is committed to meeting the reproductive health and family planning needs of women and men around the world. USAID supports Family Planning 2020 's goal to reach 120 million more women and girls in the world's poorest countries with access to voluntary family planning information, contraceptives and services by 2020.

Brian Lehrer had a good show on today about Twitter.
From the site:
"Farhad Manjoo, Slate's technology columnist and the author of True Enough: Learning To Live in a Post-Fact Society talks about what Twitter means and how different groups use it. "
Listen to the show here.
Yes, I have decided to embrace this new technological networking tool and have decided to scour my news feeds for Biker tweets. Eventually I would like to use twitter to have up to the minute reports for road conditions, street closures and perhaps where the police are harassing cyclists.
My twitter is: twitter.com/greenbiker
Here are few things I got linked too:
BikeRater has lots of Bicycle related news stories from the pros to recreational rides. Here is a link to a NY Times article about biking along the historic path of the underground railroad.
Noneck found this definition in Wikipedia for "Copenhagenization" (from the site) "Copenhagenization is a concept in urban planning and design relating to the implementation of Copenhagen-style bicycle lanes in cities. Namely creating segregated bicycle facilities for utility cycling. The term is said to have originated with urban design consultant Jan Gehl."
twitter.com/brooklynbybike who runs the blog brooklynbybike.com posted this from Treehugger, ahhh, McDonalds in Chicago has indoor bicycle parking?

InspiringI was 15 when I went to this show. I was so inspired by the cars around the stage that when my mother asked me how I wanted to decorate my room I chose white with big red flowers. Thank you U2 for your inspiration. I had the pleasure of taking my 10 year old son to the 360 tour in Chicago 20 years later. You opened with Actung Baby songs and made my night. Thank you for the opportunity to share this with my son. I am a forever fan.

"Biafine!!! This product is great! I recently had surgery (Breast Augmentation... under arm incisions) and put it on my scars for a quick heal. I also love this for sunburns." – J. Lewis

Biafine Applications and Uses
Biafine cream is used by a vast percent of French people and it's increasing in popularity around the globe for its unique properties. Biafine has non-toxic ingredients and is okay for use by people of all ages. It is in a cream emulsion form, and its manufacturers say it can be used daily without adverse reactions. Thus, almost anyone can use Biafine except in rare cases noted below.
Customer Review
"Biafine is the BEST. I use this post laser and IPL - nothing is better to promote quick healing. Very quick shipping and great price on this website." – J. Donnelly
Biafine Ingredients
Purified water, liquid paraffin, stearic acid, ethylene glycol, paraffin wax, propylene glycol, squalane, avocado oil, Trolamine/sodium alginate (an active ingredient), triethanolamine, cetyl palmitate, methylparaben (sodium salt), sorbic acid (potassium salt), propylparaben (sodium salt), and fragrance. Biafine is non-comedogenic, because it stimulates tissue debridement, hydration, regeneration.
Categories of Biafine Users
Individuals with severe burns use Biafine in hospitals, by applying up to an inch of the cream on severely burned areas, and then bandaging the area with standard dressings. The dressings are changed in typical fashion and frequency with noteworthy results.
On the other end of the spectrum users also are typical sunburn sufferers spanning from the French Riviera, to Australia, to Florida. The product is featured in fashion editorials about must-have products from France frequently and in testimonials from models and celebrities jet-setting the globe.
Other users include people who have had laser peels during facials which can leave skin quite raw. Biafine is popular thus among cosmetic- and plastic-surgery patients treating large areas, and also wishing to minimize scarring from incisions such as after breast-augmentation surgery. (Another reason perhaps for its popularity among the jet-set in addition to average people.)
Net-a-Porter Feb. 28 Issue—"Biafine is a super-rich lotion that acts like Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream for the entire body. Whether it's sunburn, dry skin or minor abrasions, this soothes skin back to health."
Essential Day Spa Forum—"Biafine is the holy grail as far as post-laser, cosmetic peels or microdermabrasion, IPL's and procedure healing."
Cancer patients make up the third distinct user-group, due to the popularity of Biafine after chemotherapy. The number of individuals searching for post-radiation burn treatments online is staggering and indicative of the prevalence of cancer as a whole in society, unfortunately.
Studies exist regarding the efficacy of Biafine for patients undergoing radiation therapy and in 2006 the United States' Food & Drug Administration approved Biafine. The product has been used in France for more than 25 years and can be found in most medicine cabinets in homes similar to products like Vaseline® in the States. (It is available over the counter.)
Biafine cream is a topical non-steroidal medication also used to treat scrapes. It has an herbal base which hydrates skin tissue, heals tissue, and promotes anti-bacterial processes for less contamination.
Because Biafine is water-based, it can easily penetrate skin to hydrate the layers below it. Plus, it is an emollient which means that it can soften scar-tissue and dead 'superficial' tissue. In technical terms, Biafine increases a process called 'autolytic debridement', by way of increased macrophage recruitment to wounds. The net result is less need for surgically removed dead tissue.
In essence, when used properly, Biafine creates an ideal moist environment for healing superficial wounds, dermal ulcers, donor sites, radiation dermatitis, 1st and 2nd degree burns, minor abrasions, and one former Miss America claims she even uses it nightly as a mask simply for turning back the clocks on wrinkles. It's quite the broad spectrum due to its effectiveness and general safeness.
Biafine cream should not be used for wounds that are bleeding, or skin rashes related to food allergies, or medicine allergies, or when a person happens to be allergic to one of the ingredients.
Of course Biafine should never be ingested, as safe as it is, or used internally. For radiation therapy, it is not supposed to be used 4 hours or less prior to a treatment session. In the case of skin grafts, it shouldn't be used until the graft has taken.
Any 'normal' side effects are quite limited, such as possible tingling following the application of Biafine for 10 to 15 minutes. (This appears to be rare and harmless.)
Topical use of Biafine for most scenarios means applying a thick layer.25 to.5 inches thick to the area. More serious applications like wounds, abrasions, and grafts involve cleaning the area, dampening the dressings, and leaving them on for 24 to 48 hours over the thick layer of Biafine.
For burns and sunburns, Biafine cream should be applied as soon as possible on and around the affected area(s) in the same thicknesses described above. Sans dressings, it can sit on the skin's surface until no longer absorbed leaving a white waxy residue. After this if pain persists additional thinner layers can be applied until pain has ceased.
In the specific case of radiation dermatitis, such as after chemotherapy, Biafine can be applied three times per day, every day of the week to the treated/affected areas, gently massaging the areas until it is absorbed. Biafine can be used until the skin has fully recovered. It is advised to not interrupt applications during the course of radiation therapy even for a day. Again, it should not be applied 4 hours or less prior to a therapy session.
Allow 5-7 business days for delivery. Any order not received in 30 days is eligible for a full refund or replacement order. Scroll further for company contact information.

Before his sudden death this spring, New York Times Middle East correspondent Anthony Shadid was interviewed by Terry Gross on NPR's "Fresh Air." Most riveting was when he talked about being one of four Times reporters captured in Libya by Gaddafi's soldiers in April 2011, when his driver was killed, and they all thought they'd die.
The last question was about where he felt most at home, since he'd grown up in Oklahoma, spent his career covering war in the Middle East, and had just written a book about renovating his family ancestral home in Lebanon, due out in March 2012.
"Home is where you want to be, and for me it has to be the family ancestral home in southern Lebanon," he said. "My wife and I feel, once we're there, tethered to it. There's a certain peacefulness when I get there."
What? How does a war correspondent find time to restore an ancestral home? No one even mentioned the title of the book. I wanted to find it.
Sadly, the title, "House of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family and a Lost Middle East," became a key part of his obituary when he died, at age 43, just two months after the interview, from an asthma attack while getting out of Syria. Suddenly everyone wanted to read that well-reviewed book, with about 100 people ahead of me on the wait list at the Denver Public Library.

by Throwback at Trapper Creek
Our winter squash supply serves as our pumpkin supply for pies and other desserts too. Instead of thinking of recipes and going from there, with a staple like winter squash, I like to keep some cooked on hand. Like canned pumpkin only I don't can it, I just keep a stash of cooked squash on hand in the refrigerator during the dark days. The squash keeps well in storage until the following summer, so I just constantly monitor the squash and cook about one or two a week.
Sweet Meat winter squash
We like these cake-like cookies because they are soft and not too sweet, and they are a good way to use up extra squash leftover from dinner or just an excuse to cook up another squash and make cookies.
PUMPKIN COOKIES 4 dozen
4 c flour
2 t baking powder
1 t salt
4 t pumpkin pie spice or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger etc., to taste
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 T vanilla
2 cups cooked squash or pumpkin
1 1/2 c raisins
Preheat oven to 375 F. Measure dry ingredients into sifter and set aside. Cream butter and sugar together, add vanilla, mix well. Add pumpkin, mix well. Add dry ingredients gradually and mix until well blended. Stir in raisins and mix until well distributed.
Drop teaspoonsful of dough on parchment lined baking pans. Bake 10 -12 minutes. Cool.

Despite an impressive tenure in TNA to this point, Samoa Joe was never given a singles opportunity to capture the NWA Heavyweight championship. His first title shot came at Destination X as he did battle with "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage. With the Impact Zone firmly behind him, Samoa Joe put on a stellar performance, however, he wasn't able to realize his destiny.
Samoa Joe has battled through many adversities in TNA. The odds have always been stacked against him. At Destination X, Samoa Joe walked into the main event with an even playing field. Christian Cage didn't have his cronies behind him to back him up, it was one-on-one. Samoa Joe entered after a Samoan ritual, complete with tikki torches. Cage followed, confidently strutting into the Impact Zone.
The match started hot and heavy, with Joe landing several hard blows on Cage. The action was so intense that it wound up in the seats with Joe tossing Cage into a wall. The action finally made it's way back to the ring with Joe in firm control. Cage quickly turned the tables, DDT'ing Joe onto the ring apron. Joe tried to fire back with a Muscle Buster, but Cage escaped and hit a reverse DDT for a nearfall.
Joe fought back to a vertical base and went to town on Cage, eventually locking in an STF and then a crossface, however Cage was able to roll through and force Joe to break the hold. Some back and forth action led to Cage getting speared off the ring apron and to the floor by Joe. Cage tried to leave, but was stopped by Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Senshi and Petey Williams. Joe hit a huge powerslam on Cage, but Rudy Charles was out of position and by the time he got back it was too late as Cage barely kicked out.
Joe went to hit Cage with a running boot, but instead caught Charles knocking him out. Joe went for another dive on Cage to the outside, but was met with a steel chair. Cage went for the cover, but realized that Charles was out cold. Cage went for another chair shot, but missed and was hit with a Muscle Buster for a near fall. Joe went for the rear naked choke, but was low blowed. Joe fought back, placing Cage on the top rope and locking in the Rear Naked Choke, he laid back and Cage rolled through, using the ropes to pin Joe down and retain the title in a great main event.
The show began with a package hyping all the major feuds.
Match One -- Ghetto Brawl -- LAX ("The Notorious 187" Homicide and Hernandez) w/ Konnan vs. Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon)
This was just a huge brawl that wound up going all over the Impact Zone. Team 3D eventually called for tables, but the Latino Nation intervened. Johnny Rodz came down for an attempted save, but was beaten down. Another group hit the ring and fought the Latino Nation causing a gang warefare situation. With all this going on, Alex Shelley came out and whacked Brother Devon with his camera, laying him out on a table and then hitting a Frogsplash on him as Homicide made the cover for the win.
Winners Via Pinfall -- LAX ("The Notorious 187" Homicide and Hernandez)
Match Rating -- 7/10
In the back, Jeremy Borash caught up with "The War Machine" Rhino who said that he was actually fearing the Elevation X match, but said he was focused on winning it.
Match Two -- Double Bullrope Match -- James Storm and Jackie Moore vs. Petey Williams and Gail Kim
Jackie jumped Gail from behind to start things off. Nothing really special here, but still fairly solid. Storm tied up Williams at one point. Williams attempted the Destroyer on a few occasions, but with no success. On his final attempt he was low blowed by Moore and superkicked by Storm for the win.
Winners Via Pinfall -- James Storm and Jackie Moore
Match Rating -- 6/10
Leticia caught up with Scott Steiner who promised to show Kurt Angle his dominance. Christian Cage interrupted and told Steiner that Tomko was being selfish and that he needed his help. Steiner said that they were never together and that Cage was on his own.
Match Three -- Crossface Chicken Wing Match -- Senshi vs. Austin Starr
Back and forth action here, with Senshi landing several kicks on Starr. Pretty basic match with Starr getting distracted by Mr. Backlund, falling prey to a Crossface Chicken Wing. Senshi locked it in and forced Starr to give it up. Afterwards, Starr put a Crossface Chicken Wing of his own on Mr. Backlund, as security scrambled to break them up.
Winner Via Submission -- Senshi
Jeremy Borash interviewed AJ Styles who said that Rhino's ego is what caused everything and said that he would pay in the Elevation X match.
Christy Hemme came out to introduce her mystery team, but was interrupted by VKM. Kip James ran her down like usual before she introduced...The Heartbreakers.
Match Four -- The Heartbreakers (Romeo Roselli and Antonio Thomas) w/ Christy Hemme vs. VKM (BG and Kip James)
VKM showed their smarts early on, as Thomas went to hit a splash on Kip James, who moved out of the way and let Thomas crash into Roselli. Hemme tried to get involved by hitting a low blow on Kip, but to no avail as Kip pulled out a cup and shoved it in Hemme's face. Lance Hoyt then came out and took Hemme away. The Heartbreakers fought back, but couldn't get the win as BG hit Thomas with the Pumphandle Slam for the victory. Afterwards, Hoyt celebrated with VKM. Hemme hit the ring with a whip and yelled at the Heartbreakers for losing as Kip laughed.
Winners Via Pinfall -- VKM (BG and Kip James)
Match Five -- Two out of Three Falls Match for the X Division Championship -- Chris Sabin (C) vs. Jerry Lynn
They started off with some back and forth action, before Sabin hit the high road and led Lynn on a chase around the ring, baiting him back in and taking control. Lynn fought back and hit a Tornado DDT for the pin and fall number one.
Fall One Via Pinfall -- Jerry Lynn
The action spilled to the outside with Lynn diving over the guardrail into Sabin. The match made its way back into the ring with Lynn getting a near fall. Sabin countered with a powerbomb/pinfall combination with his feet on the ropes for the pin and the second fall.
Fall Two Via Pinfall -- Chris Sabin
Tons of near falls and reversals here. Lynn looked to have things going his way when someone with a Sting mask jumped the rail and distracted him. Sabin took advantage of the distraction and hit the Cradle Shock for the win.
Fall Three Via Pinfall -- Chris Sabin
The individual hit the Angels Wings on Lynn and revealed himself to be Christopher Daniels. He then whacked Sabin with the X Division title and walked off. Daniels is now sporting some symbol on his face, very interesting.
Winner and STILL X Division Champion -- Chris Sabin
Jeremy Borash was in Jim Cornette's office as he hyped Lockdown. Christy Hemme stormed in and told Cornette she still had some surprises up her sleeves. She brushed Cornette with her whip and walked off as Cornette pondered using her as his secretary. He wanted to know if she took dictation. O...kay.
Match Six -- Elevation X Match -- "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. "The War Machine" Rhino
Styles and Rhino danced around a bit, before Styles made his way up the structure. Styles was very confident while Rhino struggled to get up. Lots of near drops here with both Rhino and Styles grabbing onto the steel beams to avoid falling down. Styles at one point, slipped inside the beams and rested while Rhino looked around for him. Rhino eventually found him and they went back and forth, punch for punch. Styles tried to use some powder on Rhino, but had it slapped back in his face. With Styles disoriented, Rhino hit the Gore and knocked Styles down, but not off. Styles grabbed onto the beams and dangled. Rhino then stood over him before stomping on his hands and letting him drop.
Winner -- "The War Machine" Rhino
A package was shown hyping the Scott Steiner/Kurt Angle feud, leading to...
Match Seven -- Scott Steiner vs. Kurt Angle
Angle started off with a headbutt to Steiner early on the busted him open. Angle then followed up with some punches and a clothesline that sent Angle over and out. Steiner tried to fight back, but was hit with an Olympic Slam for a nearfall. Angle then locked in an Ankle Lock, but Steiner fought out. Steiner was able to get the Steiner Recliner locked on Angle, but he fought out and hit another Olympic Slam. He went for another Ankle Lock, but Steiner fought free. The match ended when Angle went for a sunset flip off the top rope, but Steiner held on to the ropes to avoid going down. After a bried struggle Steiner came down and was pinned, giving Angle the win.
Winner Via Pinfall -- Kurt Angle
In the back, Jeremy Borash caught up with Samoa Joe who said that he was going to take the NWA Heavyweight Championship.
A package was shown hyping the Sting/Abyss feud, leading to...
Match Eight -- Last Rites Match -- Sting vs. Abyss
There were candles, tombstones and a casket hanging from above. Sting was all over Abyss for the early going, until Abyss whacked him with a candle stand, busting him open. The casket was then lowered as a "Fire Russo" chant erupted out in the Impact Zone. Abyss placed Sting in the casket, but couldn't shut it all the way. Sting came back with a Scorpion Deathlock forcing Abyss to tap out, but no submissions could be counted. Sting then took a tombstone and cracked it over Abyss' face with a baseball bat, he threw Abyss into the casket, but couldn't shut it fully. Abyss came out and hit a chokeslam on Sting onto the casket. He then took another tombstone and placed on two chairs and went to suplex Sting off the top rope through the tombstone, but Sting fought back, using a candle stand to whack Abyss off the ropes and through the tombstone. He then brought Abyss over to the casket and threw him in, shutting the lid for the win.
Winner -- Sting
A package was shown hyping the Christian Cage/Samoa Joe feud.
In the back, Christian Cage was screaming at Leticia about not having any backup. The Great Muta and an interpreter walked in. Cage greeted Muta and talked about them both being champions. He made the wrong move asking Muta if he was doing take- out delivery as a new career. Muta yanked off his mask and spit mist at the lockeroom doors as Cage ran away.
Text Messaging Results: Christian Cage wins: 52% -- Samoa Joe wins: 48%
Match Nine -- NWA Heavyweight Championship Match -- "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage (C) vs. "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe
Winner Via Pinfall and STILL NWA Heavyweight Champion -- "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage
Match Rating -- 8/10
Overall Event Rating -- 7/10
Chris Sokol is from Long Island, NY and thinks that TNA should do a Text Messaging Poll on whether or not Russo should be fired, but judging by the Impact Zone, it looks like the results would be pretty obvious.

Night of comedy in Brewster
Comic John Mulrooney has performed throughout the Middle East, twice in Israel and Iraq. On Saturday, Nov. 3, he'll bring his comedy closer to home with a performance in Brewster, N.Y. That's where Temple Beth Elohim is hosting its 20th annual Comedy Night, also featuring comedian Marion Grodin.
The popular event will be at Vista on the Hill, located at 31 Mt. Ebo Road N. It's $35 for the show and dessert.
Mulrooney, who is Irish and was raised as a Roman Catholic, said he plans to come hungry because "Jews and Italians are similar; they feed you whether you want to eat or not!"
Performing in Israel was a thrill for Mulrooney, he said, because he had always wanted to visit the Holy Land and see the places spoken of in the Bible. On one visit he was there to do a charity show for the Koby Mandell Foundation, which helps people who have lost loved ones to terrorism. (Mandell and a friend were teens when they were beaten to death on the outskirts of an Israeli settlement where they lived with their families in 2001.) The benefit show was sponsored by Jerry Seinfeld.
At first, Mulrooney was concerned about his performance because he wasn't sure how religious the audiences would be and whether his humor would be the right fit. But there was no reason for worry.
"In Israel I was really struck by how great the audiences were," he said, adding his experience as a comic was helpful in deciding what to present. "I view each show as a chef views a recipe. I look at the audience as a spice rack. I know I'm gonna make a great meal; I'm just not sure of the ingredients yet."
When entertaining troops in combat zones in the Middle East in 2010, Mulrooney said the difficult part was how the soldiers viewed him. "The toughest part was being treated like a hero by real heroes," he said.
Sometimes he was at a "JSS" (Joint Support Station) with Iraqis and U.S. soldiers. "Some of these people had never had a helicopter land in their facility or in their perimeter. Three comics come out dressed like they're going to the Bahamas, with helmets and flak jackets. It's like watching the mother ship land. They were thrilled someone went out of their way to do something for them."
Especially touching, he said, was a show in Iraq where he was in a theater that seated 400 to 500 soldiers. About 10 minutes into the show a group of Marines came in "and tried to hide in the back" (sneak in so Mulrooney would not call attention to them with jokes).
"They didn't want to be picked on for being late; I called them out on it. There was a black guy as big as a mountain who had a smile like a search light. I brought him up on stage and we had a lot of laughs."
It turned out he was the commanding officer of the group and pilot of a Harrier Jump Jet, the kind that can "land like a helicopter and fly as fast as a jet," Mulrooney explained. They'd just come back from a combat mission where they had killed several enemy fighters and barely survived themselves.
The Marine thanked Mulrooney for performing his comedy act and Mulrooney said "You're welcome."
But then the Marine said, "No, you don't know what you did."
He told Mulrooney his men had been through so much and were so stressed out, he never thought he'd see them laugh again.
"I grabbed him and went to hug him and he was like, don't hug me, and then he suddenly collapses into me," Mulrooney said. "I could feel him go down. I said `I gotchya, I gotchya.' He didn't want his guys to see him like that. He stepped back and I could see he had big tears in his eyes. He quickly wiped them away."

The Arab League's human rights monitoring mission in Syria is seen as a sick joke by the victims on the ground. Protesters across Syria, reports Al Jazeera, are calling for it to end.
The mission is headed by Sudanese General Mohammad Ahmed Mustafa al-Dabi, whose main expertise on human rights abuses lies in committing them on a mass scale. As the Telegraph reports in detail, al-Dabi visited Homs and reported seeing no tanks, while a video shows the monitors standing next to a tank. The general tells the Syrian victims to believe in "dialogue."
You may ask: What does the Arab League know about democracy, and about making independent, critical evaluations ?
A glance at its Internet home page is revealing. Continue reading 'Arab League Poll Choices: Good, Very Good, Excellent'

Domenica Marchetti Wants You to Have a Nice Dish of Pasta
When I was growing up, my mom always served us nice food. A nice bowl of lentil soup. A nice frittata sandwich. A nice dish of veal cutlets. So when I opened Domenica Marchetti's latest cookbook, The Glorious Pasta of Italy, and read her first line, I knew I was going to love it. She writes, "At my house, we never have a just a dish of pasta. It is always a nice dish of pasta, as in, 'Who wants a nice dish of spaghetti and meatballs'?"
Despite being prosaic, the word "nice," carries significant meaning for Italian mothers and nonnas. Nice means delectable, comforting, good for you, made with love. And you'll find 100 nice recipes in The Glorious Pasta of Italy, a book "for the unapologetic pasta lover."
While Marchetti encourages home cooks to get the flour flying, the dough stretching, and the cavatelli rolling, she understands that using dried pasta is convenient and says either can be used in all of her recipes. But when you are ready to make your own pasta, you'll find easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Marchetti tells you the equipment you'll need, how to make, store, and cook homemade pasta, and even includes a glossary of 60 different types of pasta to enjoy. Yes, 60.
Recipes are divided by use with chapters including "Pasta with Sauce," "Baked Pasta Dishes," and "Stuffed Pasta and Dumplings." As with any cookbook, you should read through the entire recipe before jumping in since many require multiple steps or lengthy processes; several include suggestions "to simplify."
Busy cooks will appreciate the "Pasta on the Run" chapter with sublimely simple dishes such as Spaghettini alla Pizzaiola, which translates to "in the style of the pizza man." Get it? Pasta with summer tomatoes, olive oil, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil. Traditionalists will eat up "Classics Worth Keeping," such as Spaghetti with Meatball, while hipsters no doubt will tackle "Showstoppers," such as Spinach Codette with Sausage and Peas.
Marchetti even -- praise be to Italian nonnas everywhere -- includes a chapter on "Sweet Pasta." In these cocoa dusted pages, you'll learn how to make versatile Sweet Pasta Dough with Punch Abruzzese, a sweet, potent liqueur made from caramelized sugar and lemon and orange zest. There's also a recipe for La Cicerchiata, an exceptional Italian dessert consisting of dozens of petite fried dough balls glued together with sticky honey and colored with rainbow sprinkles.
Like the title itself, Frances Ruffenach's photographs are glorious -- artistic and downright sexy. You'll find yourself flipping through the book again and again to savor them.
So once you get yourself a copy of the book, invite some family and friends over, turn on some Sinatra, and get cooking. Roll some meatballs, stir some sauce, and twirl some spaghetti. It'll be the nicest Sunday you've had in a long time.
Penne Rigate with Sweet Peppers and Anchovies
Makes 4 servings
Printable recipe.
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 large cloves garlic, sliced paper thin
6 Rizzoli brand or best-quality imported Italian or Spanish anchovy fillets in olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 red bell peppers, trimmed, seeded, and cut lengthwise into strips 1/2-inch wide
2 yellow bell peppers, trimmed, seeded, and cut lengthwise into strips 1/2-inch wide
1 pound dried penne rigate, ziti, or other short, sturdy pasta
1/2 cup freshly shredded Pecorino Sardo or Pecorino Romano cheese
1. Put the olive oil and garlic in a large frying pan and place over medium-low heat. Saute, stirring from time to time, for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the garlic is softened but not browned. Stir in the anchovy fillets and 2 tablespoons of the parsley and saute briefly until the anchovies have dissolved into the oil.
2. Raise the heat to medium and add all of the bell peppers, stirring to coat them with the oil and anchovies. When the contents of the pan begin to sizzle, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender. If the sauce is done before the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
3. While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and salt generously. Add the pasta, stir to separate, and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water.
4. Transfer the pasta to the frying pan and gently toss the pasta and sauce to combine thoroughly. Sprinkle in half of the pecorino and the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and toss again, adding a splash or two of the cooking water if necessary to loosen the sauce. Transfer the dressed pasta to warmed shallow individual bowls. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and serve immediately.

Reading this was like wrapping myself in a warm blanket (pretending it's not june). Sunday night dinners are so lost it seems. I LOVE pasta and hope the no carb fad diets die. Cut ou soda, have some wine, and eat pasta! My favorites are penne Arrabiata, pumpkin ravioli with sage butter and crushed hazelnuts, and orrecchiette with arugula and tomatoes. :-) thanks for posting this!

My very Italian grandmother is always asking for "a nice piece of cake". So I had to grin with reckless abandon at this. It's obvious I need this cookbook! That pasta sounds delicious! I love the flavor that anchovies give to anything they touch!

amee-I couldn't agree more. Life is too short to not enjoy quality meals with friends and family. And, clearly, we have the same taste in pasta dishes. ;)
val-Lucky, indeed! She's a dear.
joanne-Ha! Someone else who gets "nice." I love it. And I know what you mean about the anchovies; they really elevate this pasta to something special.

I can relate, even though I am not Italian Serbian babas have their word for "nice":)
The more I hear about this book, the more I want it. We all love pasta, and I am always looking for a new idea, especially if it is meatless.
A great review, Susan.

Stay Hydrated during exercise activity, have you heard that quite a lot?
You should have, it's very important to maintain body hydration during physical exertion. This is even more crucial in temperature extremes hot or cold. A recent FitFeed post, "7 Reasons To Drink More Water" authored by, Thorbjorg, provides information that adds more incentive to keeping properly hydrated.
Probably during these extreme training or competition events you fill like you're getting your value as an extreme conditioning enthusiast. This is likely very true on the short. However, extended activities in this range of intensity can deplete body recovery systems enough to intensify injury issues such as overuse injuries. Using periodization will allow for breaks to this intensity. Also, having physicals prior to engaging and reengaging the periods of the extreme conditioning will help identify possible negative effects.
Baca, Justin D and Len Kravitz, PhD. "Extreme Conditioning Programs: High-Risk or Vulnerable Risk Takers?" IDEA Fitness Journal 10.9 (2013). Database. 13 January 2014. <http://www.ideafit.com/fitness-library/extreme-conditioning-programs-high-risk-or-vulnerable-risk-takers?ACE_ACCESS=e5721b2d766a65611025b9560b0d56f4>.
Today, I was reviewing the IDEAS FitFeed posts. I came across a post, " Fitness fails: Workouts you need to stop doing in 2014 ".
After, looking at each of the exercises; I realized all of these attempts at exercise are used by some kind of specific training venue and not exercise focused venues. What each exercise trend attempter has done is lose perspective of what is actually perceptive, reasonable, and safe. Ask questions like these before you attempt anything:
1.Can I ever use ever utilize this exercise venue for my normal, physical, or other activities?
(Like chemical survival games i.e the gas mask exercise)
2.Can I afford medical problems should I have an accident?
(Higher risk and stress increase risk of accidents.)
3.Does my trainer really care about my wellbeing or just using interesting methods to pull money out of my pocket?
Yoga seems very simple. Yet, yoga engages the most complicated kinesiology that a human body is capable of doing. An IDEA Fitness Journal article, "Yoga Adjustments", authored by Stacy McCarthy communicates an intelligent approach to your client's yoga enthusiasm.
What is your fitness goal that you have going into your fitness program?
Is it to say the least, fitting your perception of yourself in a long term healthy state?
Are you ok with your goal objectively and practically?
Have you got issues with what think you're doing to get your goal accomplished?
Some goals are much more challenging than others. If you are the type of person that can take any challenge, great. However, if you're a person that needs to take in a respectable goal objective, followed by another, then another, and etc., do so. Before you know it, you'll be well above the same challenging goal that others may take in all at once. But, you are indeed less likely to burnout or obtain injuries taking the objective and practical fitness goal approach.
When utilizing or seeking a personal trainer.
Ask yourself:
What is it that you want or need to train for?
Do you know what your personal trainer is training you for?
Have you checked into they're profile?
What is it that you want or need to train for?
Do you need to lose weight?
Do you want to fit into a smaller size?
These two issues seem like they're the same. They are technically. However, losing weight may not get you into a smaller size. A person's hip ratio may not have a reduction from weight loss. The two issues are completely separate goals that can be addressed by the correct observations and communications. Make sure your personal trainer understands what your wants and needs are. Also, be realistic. Your pant size may not decrease with weight reduction, but with the correct training you can develop your body into looking like you've reduced your clothing sizes.
Do you know what your personal trainer is training you for?
Did you want to able to run marathons?
Do you want to be able to be functional for your entire life?
First, a personal trainer should never train a client for something they are training for. Second, a personal trainer should address you and your goals as an individual not as a group package with others. When training for a marathon or any other competitive event. The risk of injury and unneeded stress can increase. On the other hand, functional training activities can reduce risk of injury and unneeded stress substantially. Therefore, communicate with your personal trainer, others that train with other personal trainers, and review information regarding your goals from reputable sources. This will keep you more informed on your progress and confirm your trainers perception your needs and goals.
Noting, that some indirect methods to goal obtainment may be necessary for some clients to adhere to an exercise regiment.
Have you checked into your personal trainer's profile?
How did you find your personal trainer?
Does your trainer have a profile?
Has your trainer given you a chance review them?
The best way to find a reputable personal trainer is by reviewing profiles inside professionally recognized fitness sites such as "ACE" and "IDEA Health and Fitness Association". Then you can compare personal trainer profiles to your goals, that will allow a great match for your fitness program.
If you've obtained a trainer by word of mouth, did you look at their online profile? Looking at their profile may give you confirmations to where your money is going. It will also give an extra communication vehicle to them, where your thinking may be more clear or direct psychologically.
Finally, your personal trainer should be having you review them inside their online profiles. This will give you as a client a chance to participate in making critical assessments on how your exercise program is progressing Where, you may not fill comfortable communicating this directly. Also, this gives your personal trainer more creditability and assess-ability for future clients.
Many people think overtraining is related to heavy weight trainingand injury. However, overtraining is any exercise training that is excessive and can lead to injury. It can be from weight training, cardio machines, yoga, etc. Overtraining is from not allowing the body to get enough healing time from the last exercise session to the next.
Generally an exerciser that feels fatigued during exercise, loss appetite, and disturbed sleep intervals is likely over training. Also, specific muscle groups, joints, connective tissue, bones structures can be over trained individually. Some of these have outside and (or ) additional symptoms to the general symptoms that are indicated.
Be sure to allow yourself or your clients adequate recovery time. Knowing what exercises utilize what body componenets is a simple factor in advoiding overtraining. Be sure to acknowlegde your body's or your clients activies. Doing the same activity over and over can be resolved by adding exercise and muscle grouping varaition. This will allow the prior exercising muscle groups, joints, connective tissue, bones structures rest(healing) periods.
Other factors can be addressed when observing exercise activities such as age, weight, health, sex, diet, and type of employment. All these factors are very important when determining what could be excessive in an exercise program. Don't second guess these, if you are not sure ask your physician or get a qualified personal trainer.

Jessica Mathews, R2009 "What does overtraining mean?" .blog, December 22, Ask the Expert Blog, ACE. Veiwed Dec. 22, 2012. http://www.acefitness.org/blog/493/what-does-overtraining-mean/
What is the difference?
Healthy Lean
- Proper Exercise
- Proper Diet
- Good Activites
- Regard for Personal Wellness
Unhealthy Thin
- Fad Diets
- Improper Exercise Trends
- Diet Drugs in most cases
- Improper Fasting
- Bad Activities
- Disregard for Personal Wellness
Today, a person that I had met in the gym identified himself as Mike and Personal Trainer. I began communicating about various aspects of my work-out during my work-out to him. In one component of communication, I discussed a flag that I use to tell myself that this exercise component should be discontinued for that session. Flag monitoring is always good idea for all clients . Some monitoring procedures are: monitoring heart rate, talk testing, and observational fatigue. Also, there may or may not be verbal ques that a client will give to confirm the exercise within the set is at or exceeding beneficial results. It is best to begin testing and monitoring immediately with maintenance intervals for your knowledge as a personal trainer. This transfers to your client's will being and benefits regardless of the exercise type or phase, stretching, weighted training, cardio-training, agility, etc.. These flagged observations and monitoring procedures make personally trained exercise beneficial with a specified degree of intensity that does not break your client or harm them through the exercise process.
Make sure to read the entire label on your supplements:
To ensure that your children and the kids your personal circles, exercise groups, and fitness facilities are completely aware of the age limitation on many labels. In fact, many supplements are not for kids at all. Only specifically recommended supplements that are for kids should be taken by kids.
Remember if you can get quality food, go with it first. Then supplement as recommended by doctor or as needed if you're under you"re dietary needs and your doctor approves.
With respect those that are training use your head as you precede with supplementation if you are and don't let go of common sense. Particularly, keeping the contents in check when stacking several supplements together. If you're getting too much it may too late know and problems may arises. Not everybody can take large doses of supplements and maintain good health.

Easy Writer: Bikers Risk Texting On Vietnam's Roads
Easy Writer: Bikers Risk Texting On Vietnam's Roads
Everyone knows that texting while driving isn't smart. Now consider this: texting while driving a motorcycle, in heavy traffic. It's not uncommon in Vietnam, where motorcycles are the primary source of transportation.
And it's got public health officials worried.
Pham Thi Thuy Linh is 21, a college student and — according to a recent contest sponsored by a mobile phone company — has the fastest fingers in Vietnam.
She says she can text 160 characters in 25 seconds, though she says she is a little slower texting with her eyes closed — or when driving her motorcycle.
"I think I'm about 20 or 30 percent slower texting on my bike. And it's easier to make mistakes because I'm trying to watch the road in front of me," Pham says.
She doesn't much care that texting while driving is both illegal and not too smart. And she isn't alone.
Vietnam may be a one-party state where political dissent isn't tolerated. But forget about traffic laws in this country where 29 million motorcycles, bad roads and a lot of people in a hurry make for a dangerous ride.
A 'National Calamity'
On a recent day, the floor of the emergency room at Hanoi's Viet Duc hospital is littered, literally, with patients. By early evening, there are more than 100 — the vast majority of them victims of traffic accidents.
Dr. Doan Quoc Hung, chief of the emergency room, calls traffic accidents a "national calamity." He says it is a public health emergency that's getting worse every day. And incidents involving people talking or texting while driving are becoming more common, he says.
It's dangerous not just for them, but for the drivers around them, too. Hung says the hospital performed 14 operations on this day, and all but three were the result of traffic accidents.
People know they shouldn't use their phones, Hung says, and they also know they shouldn't drink and drive. But they don't care, he says. New technology and more economic opportunity are great, he says, as long as people use both responsibly.
Most of these accidents simply don't need to happen, Hung says. And caring and paying for the injured and the dead puts a burden on both their families and society, he says. The hospital should be treating people with real illnesses, he says, and not spending so much time dealing with this.
Change Slow To Come
Tran Van Thanh is a senior official in the government's office of traffic safety. He understands the concerns about texting while driving, but says people's bad habits will take time to change.
He says that with limited resources, it's impossible to crack down on everyone for everything. Drunk drivers and reckless drivers are the priority now, he says, adding that the rest will come later.
At Viet Duc hospital, neurosurgeon Nguyen Duc Hiep is worried that later won't be soon enough. His head trauma unit is full of accident victims. And while he knows driving under the influence is still the chief cause of traffic injuries, he worries what will happen next month when local phone companies roll out cheaper packages for 3G phones. He predicts that those packages will lead to more people surfing the Web while on their motorcycles.
It's crazy, Nguyen says, the way people want to be on their phones, talking and texting all the time.
Meanwhile, the texting contest winner, Pham, says she can't wait to get one of the new iPhone packages.
She says it will enable her to text even faster than she does now, from everywhere — including her bike.

From The Editor
By Carol Berkin
In the decades immediately following the War of 1812, the face of America changed. Population grew and young Americans far outnumbered their parents. For many the West beckoned, and settlers poured into the region west of the original thirteen colonies until they reached the mighty Mississippi River. Pride, optimism and a keen nationalism replaced the founding generation's anxiety about the survival of thirteen separate and often quarreling states. An American school of art was flourishing; an American dictionary assured citizens that the English they spoke was not the English of their former masters; roads and canals linked the backcountry and the coastal towns and cities; and above all, politics had become the domain of the common man, as universal while male suffrage appeared to triumph over older restrictive rules of citizenship.
To many, the future looked bright. At the same time, a new anxiety crept into the American psyche: slave states and free states eyed each other warily, political parties fostered professional politicians rather than disinterested leadership, and the pursuit of profit and material goods appeared to some citizens as a sign of moral decay and the decline of the republic.
This was the world of Andrew Jackson. In his lifetime the abolitionist and nascent women's rights movements began to demand a place in the body politic. Old institutions, perceived as elitist by some, would crumble – the most famous of them, the Bank of the United States, destroyed by the president himself—causing economic instability. In the aftermath, Americans would discover that the direction of social mobility could be downward as easily as upward. For many historians, the hero of the Battle of New Orleans is the symbol of his age: contradictory and controversial, beloved and despised, democrat and, to Native Americans, oppressor.
In this issue of History Now, five leading historians examine the myth and reality of the man and his era. As an overview, Dan Feller provides the first essay, "Andrew Jackson's Shifting Legacy." Here he traces the changing evaluation of the man and his presidency as historians reinterpret the era. In "The Indian Removal Act," Elliott West introduces us to Native American cultures and to the government policies and expansionist impulses that threatened them. He shows us the tragic consequences of white society's land hunger and the government's willingness to satisfy this demand. In "Andrew Jackson and the Constitution," Matthew Warshauer reexamines the contradictory character and reputation of our seventh president through a close analysis of Jackson's interpretation and application of the Constitution. Warshauer demonstrates Jackson's willingness to overstep or ignore the Constitution when he felt the survival of the country required it. Catherine Allgor examines the larger social world of the nation's capital in "Female Trouble: Andrew Jackson vs. the Ladies of Washington," an essay that reveals the influence of women despite their exclusion from formal political power. The social networks created by the wives and daughters of congressmen and senators allowed them to play key roles in dispensing patronage, arranging political deals, and shaping policies. As Allgor shows us, Jackson discovered the power of these elite women in what came to be known as the "Peggy Eaton Affair." In Joanne Freeman's essay, "The Culture of Congress in the Age of Jackson," we are given a view of America's political leadership that may come as a surprise. Rather than dignified debate and erudite discussion, Freeman recounts a rough and tumble world of insult-hurling, scuffles, brawls, and the brandishing of weapons on the House and Senate floors. This atmosphere of violence and volatility stemmed from more than a code of personal honor; it reflected the highly charged and divisive issues that faced the nation in the age of Jackson.
Our interactive feature in this issue, entitled "Andrew Jackson Learns of the Chehaw Affair," provides teachers with documents that describe the Georgia militia's attack on a Chehaw village in 1818, as reported by Brigadier General Thomas Glascock to then General Andrew Jackson. As always, lesson plans for elementary, middle and high school as well as for AP History classes are provided with links to sources that can be used in the classroom. In addition, our archivist Mary-Jo Kline provides an annotated guide to a wealth of additional materials for your use.
As the end of the year approaches, we at History Now wish you the happiest of holidays and the brightest of new years.

Based on roles the singers have covered in Die Zauberflöte, L'elisir d'amore, Eugene Onegin and La rondine; the performance provides a platform for the Young Artists to show their talent.
The Jette Parker Young Artists Programme is designed to support the artistic development of talented singers at the beginning of their career, employing Young Artists as salaried members of The Royal Opera over a two-year period, during which time they are immersed in the life of the Royal Opera House.
Watch Antonio Pappano working with Jette Parker Young Artists Jihoon Kim and Michele Gamba:
The Young Artists participate in a specially-tailored programme, which includes extensive daily coaching in languages, stagecraft and vocal techniques, alongside preparing cover roles and performing smaller roles on the main stage.
Watch Language Coach Alexander Naoumenko working with Dušica Bijelić on her Russian for Kasper Holten's production of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin:
As the 2012/13 Season draws to a close, six Young Artists will leave the Programme to embark on their future careers: soprano Susana Gaspar, who recently competed in BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2013, mezzo-sopranos Justina Gringyte and Hanna Hipp, tenor Pablo Bemsch, bass Jihoon Kim and stage director Pedro Ribeiro all joined the Programme in 2011.
Jihoon Kim will join The Royal Opera as a Jette Parker Principal next season, completing a one-year contract performing roles with The Royal Opera while retaining access to the coaching facilities of the Programme. Five new Young Artists will also join the Programme. Find out more about the new intake and about former Jette Parker Young Artists.
The Jette Parker Young Artists Summer Performance, From Studio to Stage, takes place on 30 June at 3pm. Tickets are still available.

Russell Brand will show his "sensitive" side in Diablo Cody's directorial debut, co-star Julianne Hough has revealed.
The Rock Of Ages co-stars will reunite for the as-yet-untitled film, formerly known as Lamb Of God, alongside Holly Hunter and Octavia Spencer.
"I think you're going to see a different side to him in this movie. He still has his Russell-isms but not as much - and you really see a sensitive side to him, the side that I got to know," she said.
Julianne also can't wait to share screen time with Transformers heartthrob Josh Duhamel in Lasse Hallstrom's Safe Haven.
"I go to Southport to start shooting next week and I'm chopping all my hair off. I'm really excited," she explained.
"I feel like this is Josh's thing. People already love him - he's not a bad guy to look at, you know - but this is going to be really good for him."
The actress - who plays small-town girl Sherrie in Rock Of Ages - is excited about how her career is going.
"Lasse Hallstrom is the most prestigious director I'm going to be working with. This is such a growing point in my acting career," she explained.
"I've had my security blanket with my singing and dancing. That is what has made me more confident with the acting. The Diablo movie was super-dramatic, and with that and Safe Haven, I'm going to be stretching my acting chops so I'm very excited."
:: Rock Of Ages is in cinemas now.
