Women's Soccer Battles to 0-0 Draw With Loyola
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – In a tough non-conference Sunday battle, the Green Bay women's soccer team drew a scoreless tie against former Horizon League foe Loyola at Santaga Stadium.
The draw put Green Bay's overall record at 4-3-4 and concluded a four match homestand with a record of 2-1-1. Loyola evened its record at 4-4-4.
"I was very happy with the defensive performance in the game today, it's our second shutout in a row," said head coach Trevor Warren. "I feel we didn't have the finishing touches to the chances we created like we did on Friday, but we certainly had the better of the scoring opportunities in the game."
A back-and-forth opening half saw both teams trying to establish their offenses, posting a combined four shots. Loyola's best opportunity came in the 20th minute as a header by Ashley Bovee went towards goal before Green Bay keeper Nastacia Behle (St. Paul, Mo.) collected the shot and sent the ball toward the other end of the field for a waiting Hekla Palmadottir (Akranes, Iceland). However, Palmadottir's breakaway shot sailed wide of the net.
The Phoenix applied offensive pressure to open the second half as Emily Friedl (Kenosha, Wis.) put a shot on goal less than a minute into action, and Heidi Hartmann (Plymouth, Minn.) followed with two more shots over a two-minute span. Offensive intensity continued to build as Renee Therrien (Winnipeg, Manitoba) and Ahna Logan (Roseville, Minn.) also forced Loyola keeper Monica Gonyo into save situations.
Momentum swung in favor of the visitors to close the half, but the Green Bay defense held strong and shut down the Ramblers to force extra minutes.
It was a quiet first overtime, with Loyola putting two shots on the board. The Phoenix held the advantage in the second session with three shots and had a prime scoring opportunity with 1:40 remaining. Katie Schulz (Plymouth, Minn.) served the ball into the box after a Loyola foul and the Phoenix saw several touches and attempts to score as the ball bounced around before a shot from Hartmann sailed wide and ended the threat.
"It was reasonably comfortable game for us defensively against the direct play of Loyola," said Warren. "We won most of the headers from the long balls and crosses into the box and also on the set plays. The defenders positioning and ability to win those balls was excellent. Nastacia was great in goal again today, and really controlled her penalty area."
Green Bay led in shots for the match, 11-9, while Loyola held a 6-4 advantage in corner kicks. Hartmann finished with a match-high five shots. Behle played the entire match and made two saves en route to collecting her second-consecutive shutout and third of the season.
Green Bay returns to action next Saturday, traveling to Youngstown State in conference action.

Surat Fatir, Verse 25
If they deny you, those before them also denied the truth. Their Messengers came to them with Clear Signs, and psalms and the Illuminating Book.
" If they deny you, those before them also denied the truth." This refers to our Prophet (saas). It is really puzzling that people were loveless in all ages. For instance our Prophet (saas) is amazingly sweet, very radiant, he is as sweet as a candy. How can one accuse such a beautiful, high quality person of being a liar? That is flat out unjustness, a flat out smear and nothing else. That all stems from their immorality. Our Prophet (saas) is such an amazing, such a decent person with a radiant face and he is highly civilized. There isn't even an exaggeration in any of his words and you say "You are a liar" to a person who has never ever told a lie all his life. Why would he ever tell a lie? That is flat out lovelessness and nothing else. . "Their Messengers came to them with Clear Signs, and psalms and the Illuminating Book." All of them receive the same reactions. It is all because of man, as Almighty God says; "Man is wrong-doing and ignorant." Almighty God says; " ...thalooman jahoolan." A great majority of the people in our age are wrongdoing and ignorant as well.
Surat Fatir, Verse 26
Then I seized hold of those who were unbelievers and how absolute was My rejection!
God either grinds those lands into the dust or creates civil strife or overthrows them economically. In general God ruins those people either by setting them against each other or by inflicting another country upon them.
Surat Fatir, Verse 33
They will enter Gardens of Eden where they will be adorned with gold bracelets and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk.
" They will enter Gardens of Eden where they will be adorned with gold bracelets and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk." Notice that in the Qur'an we see the value of adorning, the importance of adornments and how God likes those who adorn themselves. Does God like those who adorn themselves or not? He does. Radicals are the ones who do not like it. But God likes it. Look at what God says; "...with gold bracelets." So they will have gold on both their arms but that will be the gold of Heaven. "...and pearls." Pearls of Heaven. "..they will be adorned." They will be shinning brightly. " ...and where their clothing will be of silk." And you hate silk, you hate gold. God likes them; you do not. God says that silk is beautiful; you call it ugly. God regards silk as a blessing of Heaven; these men say; "Beware." They refrain from gold, they are revolted by pearls and they do not like silk. They have no love left in their hearts.
Surat Fatir, Verse 34
They will say, ´Praise be to God who has removed all sadness from us. Truly our Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Responsive to Gratitude:
" They will say, ´Praise be to God who has removed all sadness from us. " That is to say that there is an inclination towards sadness in the human soul. People have a tendency to feel sadness for 24 hours. They attempt to feel sadness about everything, everything that comes to their minds. For instance, they sit at a table and get sad about that; someone comes along and they get sad about that, something happens and they get sad about that, the wind blows and they get sad about that, rain falls and they get sad about it, sun shines and they get sad about it. See the verse: "They will say, ´Praise be to God who has removed all sadness from us." Look; first of all, God takes it away and then removes it. Praise be to God, Alhamdulillah." Truly our Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Responsive to Gratitude." Truly God forgives when one commits a sin. You say "Astagfirullah." You say "My Lord, forgive me." May God forgive us all. The verse reads; "Truly our Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Responsive to Gratitude." See that when you say "Alhamdulillah" God accepts that gratitude.
"Alhamdulillah" is one of the invocations God likes the most. For instance you have been bestowed a blessing and you say Alhamdulillah. There is a beauty in front of you; you say Alhamdulillah. You hear a nice word you say Alhamdulillah. One should approach God by praising, by giving glory to God. We should increase our thanks to God. When that is increased, the blessings bestowed upon one would increase as well. How does that work? God does that without making it felt. The more you send your thanks to God; the more the blessings bestowed upon you increases. All this increases from aspects you do not know of, from aspects you cannot even think of.
Surat Fatir, Verse 35
" He who has lodged us, out of His favor, in the Abode of Permanence where no weariness or fatigue affects us."
" He who has lodged us, out of His favor, in the Abode of Permanence where no weariness or fatigue affects us. " The greatest instinct man has is the instinct for infinity. Man constantly want that in their spirit. God satisfies that urge in the Hereafter. They become infinite and then find relief. That is because that instinct would thus be satisfied completely. " .. in the Abode of Permanence where no weariness or fatigue affects us." That is to say weariness and fatigue is given specifically in this world. The man gets up from his bed and still feels fatigued. He goes on a holiday and comes back feeling tired. He lies down on a sunbed and rests yet he still feels tired. Fatigue is specifically given for the test. "..where no weariness affects us." People might feel weary of many things. One can never be bored of love or affection; one can never be tired of the love of God. However the feeling of weariness, of boredom exists in the human soul. Muslims are able to overcome this feeling with their faith. For that reason an ordinary man gets tired of his wife, or his beloved ones; but a Muslim would not because of their faith. However in disbelief, weariness enwraps a person very easily. A Muslim might feel weariness about difficult things, about difficulties. But in the Hereafter that feeling is completely removed. With the power of faith weariness is crushed. It can be crushed in proportion to that person's faith. There is a tendency to boredom in the human nature, in the human soul in proportion with that person's faith. However a Muslim would not be bored, would not feel weary of love, a Muslim would not feel weary of beauty and affection, insha'Allah. For instance Muslims get bored by empty talks, from monotonous approaches. They search for richness, I mean they want novelties, they want beauties. The feeling of boredom is removed in the Hereafter. There is no such thing, no such feeling in the Hereafter. Muslims see the blessings of Heaven quadrillions of times but they never get bored. They see the same blessings a quadrillion times quadrillion but never get bored. For instance they do not feel bored by pearls, by bracelets; they like the bracelets every single time, they like the pearls every single time, they like those rivers of Heaven every single time they see them. They never feel bored with the rivers, they never feel bored with the houses of Heaven. They feel an excitement about them every time they see them as if it is the first time they are seeing them.2013-08-03 00:59:53

Activity note: Depart North America on flights to San José, Costa Rica. Refer to your personal air itinerary for specific flight information.
Afternoon: Upon arriving at the hotel, check in and get your room assignment. Then take some time to freshen up and relax before our Orientation session. The Group Leader will be on hand to provide assistance as needed. 6:00 p.m. The Group Leader will greet everyone with a warm welcome and lead introductions. We will review the up-to-date program schedule and any changes, discuss roles and responsibilities, logistics, safety guidelines, emergency procedures, and answer any questions you may have. Traditional Costa Rican food is healthy with generally mild seasoning, often featuring fresh vegetables and fruit. Rice and beans are an important part of the local diet, commonly served in one form or another at almost every meal, including breakfast. This program includes a number of bus transfers. The air-conditioned Road Scholar bus does not have a bathroom on board. However, the program includes stops for program activities, meals, and/or basic pit stops that help to break up longer travel times. Stops are built into the schedule for every 1.5 - 2 hours of bus travel. On day 5 we will be visiting a local school. Participants often enjoy donating small school supplies such as colored pencils and markers. Free time is reserved for your personal independent exploration. Please note that program activities, schedules, and personnel may need to change due to local circumstances. In the event of changes, we will alert you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
Dinner: This meal has been excluded from the program cost and is on your own to enjoy what you like. The Group Leader will be happy to offer suggestions.
Evening: At leisure.
Activity note: The transfer from San José to Sarapiqui, in the Caribbean lowlands is about 55 miles, taking approximately 2 hours.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: We'll have a presentation by a local expert to provide an overview of Costa Rica. After checkout procedures, we'll then depart for a field trip to the Gold Museum. This unique underground museum showcases an impressive collection of Pre-Colombian gold. The 2,000-piece collection weighs more 20,000 Troy ounces making it one of the wealthiest spots in the nation. For the stamp collector, the complex also contains a philatelic museum, and coin collectors might be interested in the adjoining numismatic museum. After the field trip, we'll begin our transfer to Sarapiqui in Costa Rica's Caribbean lowlands.
Lunch: En route.
Afternoon: We'll continue our journey to Sarapiqui. This is one of the richest sites for birds in Middle America with well more than 400 species recorded. Nearby, the La Selva Protection Zone and the Braulio Carrillo National Park form the only significant corridor of forest on the Caribbean slope linking the highlands with the lowlands, a corridor crucial to birds and animals that undertake seasonal altitudinal migrations. Once we arrive at the lodge we will check-in with some time to freshen up and relax before our next activity. We'll regroup for a presentation by a local expert on the Mesoamerican biological corridor.
Dinner: At the lodge.
Evening: At leisure. Meet with new Road Scholar friends on the porch, enjoy a nightcap while relaxing to the sounds of the rainforest, and get a good night's rest for the day ahead.
Activity note: Early morning birding on flat trails and lodge paths. Padding during stretches of our rafting field trip. Please wear a bathing suit and shoes you don't mind getting wet.
Breakfast: At the lodge.
Morning: We'll ride by motorcoach to a rafting drop-off site along the shores of the Sarapiqui. Once on site, put on your assigned gear and listen to a safety orientation before getting started. A rafting expert will sit at the back of the raft and navigate. Participants will be invited to assist with paddling at various stretches along the river. We'll then return to the lodge and change into dry clothes.
Lunch: At the lodge.
Afternoon: We'll have some "down" time before our next activity. You might like to take a walk around the lodge grounds, settle into a comfy chair, cool off in the pool, practice your photography skills, or use this opportunity to do some bird watching. For our next field trip we will take a short walk to the Sarapiqui Conservation Learning Center (SCLC). Founded in the mid-1990s, the SCLC is a registered non-profit organization whose mission is to link communities and conservation through education and ecotourism in the Sarapiqui region. Programs include environmental education, ecotourism activities, English classes, an ecology club, community outreach, a women's group, and many others. Here we'll meet local people for a "charla" — Spanish for "chat" — to foster communication and understanding. During this informative session led by a local community member, we'll learn about life in Sarapiqui, local ecosystems, immigration, domestic life, and artisan work. We'll conclude with a Q&A session.
Dinner: At the lodge.
Evening: Latin dance! We'll have some lessons with local people to learn three styles of Latin dance: Merengue, Salsa, and Cumbia. The local dancers will demonstrate the style of dancing, then lead us through the dances step by step. Finally, we'll have a chance to practice with a partner.
Activity note: The boat safari is approximately 1 hour. Ascend/descend about 3 fights of stairs, with a handrail, to reach the boat dock. Bus drive from Sarapiqui to Arenal is about 60 miles, taking approximately 3 hours with pit stops.

Morning: We'll check out of the lodge and take the bus to the Puerto Viejo dock. There we'll board a river boat for a leisurely journey on the Sarapiqui River. The boat captain and our Group Leader will put their expert spotting skills to use and point out riverine wildlife along the way. Some of the animals we hope to see include caimans, turtles, iguanas, bats, monkeys, sloths, kingfishers, and Anhingas. After our boat safari, we'll transfer to a local plantation to examine the environmental and economic impacts of agriculture in Costa Rica. We'll then move on to the Arenal area.
Lunch: En route.
Afternoon: We'll continue our journey to Arenal. Arenal was once Costa Rica's most active volcano and a main draw to the town of La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano National Park. The volcano lords over the countryside with its perfectly conical shape and occasional smoke and gas emissions. While minor activity excites visitors, they are rarely acknowledged by the locals who have learnt to accept the antics of the volcano as part of their daily lives. The thermal waters emanating from the volcano, the clean air and the energy associated with Arenal, makes this a favorite destination for health spa enthusiasts and nature lovers. Arriving at the hotel, we'll check in with some time to freshen up and relax before dinner.
Dinner: At the hotel.
Evening: At leisure.
Activity note: Walking on forest trails and hanging bridges. Comfortable clothing, closed walking shoes, and a pair of binoculars are suggested for this activity. Although not required, participants oftentimes enjoy bringing colored pencils, markers and other basic supplies to donate during the school visit.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: For our next field trip, we'll transfer to Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges and explore some of its many trails and scenic bridges. This private nature reserve in La Fortuna de San Carlos features a network of standing bridges, hanging bridges, and trails that crisscross more than 600 acres (250 hectares) of tropical rainforest. The park's mission is to provide natural history education in a responsible and sustainable way. Visitors are able to view the rainforest from different angles and heights, from ground level to canopy level, learning firsthand about this fascinating and biologically diverse environment. We'll then return to the hotel.
Lunch: At the hotel.
Afternoon: We'll board a motorcoach and drive to a primary school where we'll enjoy a charming dance presentation performed by local children.Next, we'll visit a local farm to learn about the history of the property and the agricultural practices of this fertile region. The small and painteresque town of Fortuna has changed quite a bit from the village that witnessed the eruptions of Arenal Volcano in 1968. Once a small agricultural community, Fortuna has grown in the shadow of the colossus that once burned and devastated large areas. Although now on a second level of economic importance, many plantations in the surrounding areas still produce important amounts of papaya, sugar cane, tapioca and ornamental plants. At the farm, we'll work-up an appetite while learning to make tortillas and cooking them on a traditional wood stove.
Dinner: At the farm, we'll enjoy a traditional dinner hosted by the owners.
Evening: Returning to the hotel, the remainder of the evening is at leisure. Prepare for check out and transfer in the morning. Please pack any items you will need tomorrow in your day pack as we will be traveling separately from our luggage.
Activity note: Boat ride is about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to Monteverde is about 21 miles, taking approximately 1.5 - 2 hours on unpaved roads; en route stops for lunch and field trip. Our motorcoach will transfer separately with our luggage. Please pack any items you will need for the day in your daypack, since we won't have access to our luggage until late afternoon.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: After checking out, we'll transfer to the dock for a boat ride across Arenal Lake. We'll then board a motorcoach for an uphill drive along scenic unpaved back roads up to Monteverde. We'll then ride to a local coffee plantation.
Lunch: At the coffee plantation.
Afternoon: During our coffee farm field trip, we'll learn about the harvesting and processing of coffee as well as the history of this crop from its beginning in the Arabic countries and Ethiopia. We'll also gain insights into the importance of the golden bean — grano de oro — and its impact on Costa Rica's social, cultural, and economic development. Arriving at the hotel, we'll check-in with some time to freshen up and relax. There will be an opportunity to watch the sunset! We'll regroup for a presentation by a local expert on the effects of climate change on conservation initiatives at Monteverde.
Dinner: At the hotel.
Evening: At leisure.
Activity note: Walking on forest trails and irregular terrain; potentially muddy conditions. Wear a good pair of walking shoes and consider bringing a lightweight rain poncho.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Our first field trip of the day is to a cloud forest reserve at Monteverde for an expert led exploration. While walking on forest trails, we will learn about the characteristics of a cloud forst and stop along the way to study is flora and fauna. The edges of this rich forest system, often cloaked in clouds and blowing mist, are home to more than 350 avian species and a myriad of other creatures and critters. The Monteverde area is perhaps most famous for breeding Resplendent Quetzals, Three-wattled Bellbird, and Bare-necked Umbrellabird. While these charismatic species can be elusive, a host of other cloud forest birds and amphibians are found in the area.
Lunch: At a local restaurant.
Afternoon: Next, we'll head to the Bat Jungle, an educational space designed and managed by noted U.S. bat biologist Dr. Richard LaVal. Informative displays help to explain about bat biology, bat diversity, and their crucial role in nature as pollinators. The Bat Jungle also has more than 90 bats, representing 8 different species, housed in a recreated nighttime cloud forest environment. Glass windows give visitors the rare opportunity to look inside the forest enclosure and observe bats feeding, flying, and socializing. Special microphones capture the high pitched bat vocalizations and broadcast them through loudspeakers in the bat viewing area. We'll return to the hotel for a presentation on the Quaker story from a local expert. In 1951, a group of American Quakers, fearful of their nation's growing militarism, fled the United States. The Quakers found Costa Rica, a nation without a military, to be the most inviting nation for their pacifist beliefs. This group settled Monteverde and intended to transform the area into profitable farmland. The Quakers developed a fairly successful cheese industry but they also recognized the delicate nature of the land and helped establish the area's first wildlife sanctuary.
Dinner: At the hotel.
Evening: At leisure. Prepare for check out and transfer tomorrow.
Activity note: The transfer from Monteverde to San José is about 90 miles, approximately 3.5 hours. Travel is broken up by en route stops for program activities and lunch.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Check-out. We'll board our motorcoach and drive to the Monteverde Butterfly Gardens and Arthropod Education Center. As we accompany a resident naturalist on a walking exploration of the gardens, we will view insects and learn about their life cycles and the roles they play in nature. Since opening its doors in 1989, Monteverde Butterfly Gardens has made it its mission to help educate people about butterflies and other insects, as well as arachnids. The nature center houses more than 20 species of insects and arachnids as well as 30 different species of butterflies in 4 separate habitats. Butterflies are fragile creatures and require extreme care as they develop and grow. Every species feeds on a different variety of plants. Unlike most butterfly gardens, which buy their butterflies as chrysalides, all the butterflies you will see here were bred and raised on the premises. We'll begin our transfer to San José via the crafts town of Sarchi.
Lunch: En route.
Afternoon: Stopping in Sarchi, the Group Leader will take us through an oxcart workshop to observe how they are made and decorated. Just a few miles from Grecia, Sarchi is well known for its centuries-old tradition of making oxcarts. The brightly colored and intricately decorated carts are a national symbol and can still be seen in use in rural communities. Sarchi is also known for its handcrafted furniture and wood housewares. Arriving in San José, we'll check in to our hotel with time to freshen up and relax before dinner.
Dinner: At the hotel, share your favorite experiences with new Road Scholar friends.
Evening: At leisure. Enjoy our last evening together as a group, say farewells, then prepare for check out and departure in the morning.
Activity note: Hotel check out by 11:00 a.m. Refer to your personal air itinerary for specific flight information.
Breakfast: At the hotel (depending on flight schedule). This concludes our program. If you are returning home, safe travels. If you are staying on independently, have a wonderful time. If you are transferring to another Road Scholar program, detailed instructions are included in your Information Packet for that program. We hope you enjoy Road Scholar learning adventures and look forward to having you on rewarding programs in the future. Please join our Facebook page and share photos of your program.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks for the advice, guys. Sounds pretty basic as long as I follow a few guidelines. Appreciate the help!
|Mont the pump as close to the tank & low as possible. Also use a relay when wiring it up.
|sugar ray
im running a similar set-up with a small block chebby, however im using a holley street electric pump with a edelbrock 750 carb. so your pump and fittings are very similar to mine and i've had no issues!
i do NOT think you will absolutely need a regulator. Just the electric pump should be fine by itself, but maybe one of the great minds can correct me on that??
its a breeze to wire it up.It should only have 2 wires coming from the pump. one is for ground and the other is your power supply. you COULD wire it up to an IGNITION-on wire that way when your turn your key your pump goes on. I didn't do it that way. I chose to go with a toggle switch for it. Just a nice feature to be able to cut off your pump in case of an emergency at the 1/4 mile track.
As far as the lines, i just used good rubber fuel hose from the steel fuel line up to the carb. Again i assume you have steel fuel line that runs from your tank up to the front of the motor area?
Mounting is important. Remember, a fuel pump will PUSH better then it will PULL. Thats why most pumps are mounted in the tank or near the rear of the vehicle.
good luck
Electric Pump with Performer Carb
I just got my '97 Silverado motor in the Chevelle and I'm ready to bolt on carb and accessories and go!!! Finally. Thanks for all the help up to this point.
Now, I'm going to have to run an electric pump since my block does not have a mechanical provision. I was thinking of using Carter's #P4070, which is a "street" pump rated at 72 gph with 5 psi, using 1/4" npt fittings. I would think this would work well with the 600 cfm edelbrock performer I'm using on this mild 350. A few questions, then:
1) Will this pump work well?
2) Do I need to use a regulator?
3) Can I just wire it in to a "keyed" slot on my fuse block?
4) Where is the best place to mount it and a good way to plumb the lines to the carb?
Thanks everyone! Almost there. . . .

Robertson wrongly attributed declining number of teen girls having sex to "welfare reform"
On December 13, Reverend Pat Robertson attributed a recent significant decline in the number of teenage girls having sex to "the welfare reform bill." During the news segment of the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club, host and Christian Coalition of America founder Robertson stated that prior to the passage of the 1996 federal welfare reform act [1], "young teenage girls from poor families, essentially black families, thought that they had a duty to have babies in order to get on the welfare rolls because each baby was being paid two or three hundred dollars a month or more." Robertson was responding to a report by CBN News anchor Lee Webb on a recent government survey [2] by the National Center for Health Statistics [3] (NCHS), which showed that the number of teenage girls having sex declined from 38 percent in 1995 to 30 percent in 2002. But Robertson's explanation for the decline, which relies upon the unfounded and racially charged stereotype of the "welfare queen," is not supported by the facts.
An April 24 U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means Democratic issue brief [4] flatly rejected the assertion that the decline in teen pregnancy is attributable to the 1996 changes in welfare law. The brief noted that according to National Vital Statistics Reports by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, "teen birth rates started to fall well before the federal welfare act was being implemented by states in late 1996 and in 1997 and that the rate of decline was continuous and similar throughout the entire time period after 1991 [through 2002]" (as depicted in "Chart 1" of the brief). The brief went on to note that "for these and other reasons, federal welfare reform does not appear to have influenced the decline in teen birth rates to any significant degree."
In addition, the "welfare queen" stereotype that Robertson referenced, claiming that poor teenage girls had babies in order to get welfare payments prior to the 1996 federal welfare law, is an unfounded smear perpetuated by former President Ronald Reagan, among others, that has long since been debunked. A June 26, 1995, Orlando Sentinel article, which defined "welfare queen" as the idea of "lazy women having babies for federal checks," debunked the myth of the "welfare queen," pointing out: "Since 1970 the number of children in the average welfare family has declined from three to two." A June 11, 1998, Boston Globe editorial noted: "For years citizens were treated to visions of welfare queens -- lazy women who fraudulently drained the nation's wealth. Their abuses were chronicled by skilled storytellers, including Ronald Reagan, who ultimately had to back away from a tale that turned out to be less than true." An October 15, 2000, New York Times article referred to "Reagan's apocryphal stories about welfare queens driving Cadillacs."
After Webb reported findings on teenage girls from the NCHS survey, the following exchange took place on the December 13 edition of The 700 Club:
WEBB: Pat, how do you account for this drop [in the number of teen girls having sex]?
ROBERTSON: I would like us to understand what the welfare reform bill did, you know. There was a time when young teenage girls from poor families, essentially black families, thought that they had a duty to have babies in order to get on the welfare rolls because each baby was being paid two or three hundred dollars a month or more, and so they'd help support the family that way. I think when the rewards of that program were taken away, I think that a lot of them said, "This isn't worth it. I'm not going to do that." Now maybe education has helped, maybe sex education has helped -- I don't know, maybe abstinence programs have helped. But something's doing it.

While she was away, ladies figure skating suffered quite a bit, but we saw improvement in Kostner, and some new young skaters on the scene, while Mao seemed to start over. Which of these ladies has the best chance of beating Yu na Kim at the 2013 worlds?

Curiosity drives discovery. But what, exactly, makes us curious?
Roald Hoffmann
The title phrase, said with just the right intonation, could be dismissive: a polite, thinly veiled way of saying "I am not really interested." But my concern here is with the sincere variant of the expression—particularly in science, when it is said to oneself, sotto voce. For this statement is how curiosity is stirred. And, as I will argue in a continuation of a small campaign to value the "unmathematicizable" in science (I've also written about the importance of metaphor and storytelling), psychological interest is a progenitor of scientific creation itself.
As a descriptor of an experiment or theory, interesting resides more or less comfortably between beautiful and strange. Aesthetic judgment, such as attribution of beauty, is generally avoided by scientists as they write—paradoxically so, I'd say, for they would like nonscientists to value not just the technological utility of their labors, but also the elegance. Is it reticence that leads one to avoid writing "this molecule is beautiful" in a scientific paper? No, I think it is a fear of the spiritual, as if calling a molecule beautiful in a paper would put one in the company of art critics. Or, God forbid, priests. And strange, when used to describe a scientific observation, can carry a hint that something might be amiss: a spectrum not quite correctly interpreted, a mistake of sign in a derivation. But interesting, when said without a veiled smirk, is very much a positive valuation. That is, as positive about other people's work as scientists often allow themselves to be in public.
The word's etymology is revealing. The noun came into English from French, which took it from Latin. There, it derived from the verbal phrase inter esse, meaning literally "it is in between." (So the Oxford English Dictionary says; there is some debate about this point.) That construction, inter esse, meant that something made a difference and thus it was important. The claim for value in diversity was explicit: To be different, to be in the middle, neither this nor that—all these things mattered. In the same spirit, I entitled a book about chemists and chemistry The Same and Not the Same. Diversity in the structure and function of molecules is exactly what gives chemistry its power and value.
But when interest first came into English, it was used only in the legal sense of having a right or title to something. Only at the end of the 18th century did the word begin to signify curiosity about a person or thing. Now, as then, to be in between is to be not understood in a world ruled by dichotomizing logics. To be in between is to transgress. For instance, the late anthropologist Mary Douglas described how the Lele people of central Africa avoided eating flying squirrels. According to their taxonomy, the creatures were "not unambiguously birds nor animals," Douglas wrote in her 1966 book Purity and Danger. It's a tense place, that middle. But maybe, just maybe, it's the place where understanding is waiting to be found.
There is a strong psychological component in the word interesting and the feeling it describes. That's clear from the waning of interest, which is as much a part of the experience as is its rise. I recently caught myself saying "Electronically, the dodecaborate anion (B12H122-) is uninteresting." I remember the day in 1961 that the inorganic chemist Fred Hawthorne walked into the office of one of my research advisors at Harvard and told us that he had made K2B12H12. Before that, I had read Linus Pauling's prediction that neutral B12H12 would be stable. And I had studied a calculation, performed by theoretical chemists H. Christopher Longuet-Higgins and M. de V. Roberts, which instead predicted that this polyhedral molecule would be stable only as a dianion. Hawthorne had just confirmed the prediction of Longuet-Higgins and Roberts. At the time, I couldn't have imagined a more interesting molecule.
But now, 50 years later, I had said it was not interesting. What I meant was that I had seen many substituted B12H122- ions since the 1960s, so I was familiar with the structure. It is a "closed-shell" molecule, with a big gap between its filled and unfilled orbitals. Its salts are generally colorless and unreactive. All this was settled, and now I was looking for excitement, looking for electronic trouble, looking for molecules that were not insulators but conductors. The geometric beauty of the Platonic solid had ceased to move my jaded mind. A molecular degenerate, that's what I was. I should put those words of disinterest in lovely B12H122- back in my mouth. But my naysaying illustrates a point: Interest falls off as novelty fades. We get bored with that simple melody. Even our teenage children eventually (albeit too slowly for us) move on to the next hit.
Abnormality, like novelty, can evoke interest. But any given anomaly may be viewed as interesting or not, depending on the cognitive setting of the observation. The observer first has to know what is normal in order to care about what is not. Tetraamminelithium (Li(NH3)4), pictured at right, is a bronze-colored metallic liquid (this combination of properties is interesting by itself) that crystallizes into a metallic solid at 89 degrees Kelvin (–184 degrees Celsius). That is a low temperature, but so what? Other elements and molecules solidify at lower temperatures: molecular hydrogen (H2) at 14 degrees Kelvin and helium not at all. But none of these other atoms or molecules is a metal. Li(NH3)4, a liquid and a metal, has a freezing point nearly 150 degrees lower than that of any other liquid metal. How am I to think about the way intermolecular forces (responsible for solidification of all compounds) interweave with the free motion of electrons that is the hallmark of being a metal, to make Li(NH3)4 melt at such a low temperature?
When we make new observations, we compare them to the way we think the world works. And that's something we are constantly revising: In one's mind is a dynamic, shifting conception of how the pieces of the world fit in, now and in times past. With some parts of this world, one accumulates a lot of experience, as I have with chemistry. I've been at it long enough to form an intuition. But most subjects, from Venezuelan literature to the ecosystem of the Kazakh steppe, I know less well. And I assess an observation differently when it pertains to a field that I do know. A new touring-ski wax will not get my attention, but when a graduate student of mine brought to a research-group meeting the structures of two related organometallic molecules, illustrated to the right, I sat up. Each of these molecules, synthesized by Kanazawa University's Kiyoshi Isobe and his collaborators, has a rectangle of sulfurs, bonded to iridium atoms in one case, to rhodium atoms in the other. Rhodium appears directly above iridium on the periodic table, and the two elements are expected to have similar properties: What happens for rhodium, in the way of molecular geometry, should happen for iridium. But the rectangle is turned one way in one molecule, the other way in the other. Now that was interesting! Enough so that it formed part of the Ph.D. work of Anne Poduska, the student who found the structure of these molecules in the literature.
Of course one also has to learn discrimination. Many of the world's anomalies are unimportant, little zags where a number of variables combine to make something appear more abnormal than it really is. Others are just experimental mistakes. But there are anomalies worth worrying about. The molecule with an unexplainable feature sits there, staring you in the face with its peculiarity. "Understand me if you can," it says. "Make me if you can." The challenge is there, put forth quietly as I sit at my desk. In response, I will build an explanation. For that is my métier. And the next issue of a journal will provide me with a new puzzle.
Anne and I readily admit that coming up with an explanation for our perplexing dance of rectangles did not shake up the world. And yet, and yet—everything is connected to everything else. I believe that by solving a thousand such bonding puzzles, each of tiny significance, and keeping one's eyes open for the inevitable connections between those little pieces of the world, ultimately one will have the world, at least the chemical part of it.
Incidentally, making those connections is inherently interesting, for it brings together two or more parts of our universe, parts that previously stood apart. Here is a personal example: Many inorganic molecules could be thought of as being built from fragments such as ML3, ML4 and ML5 (where M represents a transition metal atom and L an associated ligand, such as CO, PH3 or Cl). The Lego blocks of organic chemistry could be seen as CH3, CH2 and CH. I once realized (based on the foundational work of others) that, despite the traditional separation of organic and inorganic chemistry, the electrons in both sets of building blocks moved in orbitals that resembled each other. Here was a mapping that allowed one to see like features in the structures and reactions of both organic and inorganic molecules. Making that connection was one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. Which brings me to the joy of creation.
So, an interesting thing is new and unusual, but not so new that one cannot describe it. I think of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes when, a hundred years ago, he saw the electrical resistance of mercury drop to zero for the first time. There were conflicting ideas among physicists of the time on what would happen to the resistivity of metals as they were cooled. Onnes was in the position to make the first measurements of the conductivity of metals at the lowest temperatures, just made available in his own laboratory by the newly liquefied helium. I also think of interesting molecules and interesting theories—such as the one that led Paul Dirac to the puzzling but valid negative-energy solutions to his foundational 1928 equation for the quantum-mechanical and relativistic behavior of electrons. Taken seriously, those odd solutions resulted three years later in the prediction of the positron. Such anomalies, faced by individual scientists in solitude, are, I believe, the stimulus to much creation.
In the psychological literature, I found support for my assessment that scientific interest springs from stimuli that are novel but understandable. In his book Exploring the Psychology of Interest, Paul J. Silvia calls interest "an eccentric emotion," and he describes the experiments he uses to characterize it. In one, his subjects viewed and rated randomly generated polygons with respect to interest. At the same time, he gauged the subjects' curiosity and openness to experience. In another experiment, participants rated as interesting (or not) some abstract images, and simultaneously appraised the comprehensibility of the same pictures. Silvia concludes that interest derives from an "evaluation of an event's novelty-complexity" and its "comprehensibility." Other psychologists have studied the adaptive function of interest, how interest derives from appraisal of a situation, and the obvious role of interest in learning. The late Daniel Berlyne, who was a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, singled out novelty, complexity, uncertainty and conflict as the qualities appraised in a judgment of interest.
The psychology literature helped me understand a distinction between interest and interests that I couldn't quite put my finger on before. The strange case of the sulfur rectangles that Anne Poduska found was really exciting. But I also have less rousing interests. I am interested, quietly and expectantly, in the behavior of molecules under high pressure, such as that found at the center of the Earth. I'm interested in carbenes, metastable molecules with two groups attached to a carbon atom. I am also interested in Caucasian rugs and indigo and too many other things. Notice that I do not say that I am interested specifically in, respectively, silane (SiH4) under high pressure, methylene (CH2), an Akstafa carpet, or indigo made in ancient times from Murex snails in the Mediterranean, as used ritually by the Hebrews. My interests are broad and quiet. They are like beaches that I watch, waiting for interesting flotsam to wash up. But how do I decide which beach to watch, out of millions that I do not? Here the metaphor breaks down. I built those beaches. I did so out of a combination of chance and curiosity. The specific molecules I named, that particular Caucasian carpet, the Biblical blue—those were the novel initiating interests of my beach building. Now I wait quietly, with the confidence that something else will float up on the same shores.
That expectant interest is different from the feeling of mental arousal spurred by the atypical. Also different is a kind of interest that borders on obsessive. It happens to all of us. I watch the turning of a water wheel, one that once drove a millstone. Although its motion is repetitive, I can't stop watching it. Or perhaps I can't stop because the motion takes this form. I go out of my way to find other water wheels, so I can again immerse myself, figuratively, in contemplating them. Clearly there is interest here, as Michael Weisberg, a philosopher at the University of Pennsylvania, reminded me. The motion of the water wheel is fascinating (a lovely adjective, still true to its origin in the Latin fascinare—to bewitch). I am indeed enchanted as I watch the water wheel. But is this the sense of interesting that I want?
I don't think so. The familiar obsessive fascination with objects or motions might be one, normal end of a spectrum of autistic behavior. To me it seems to have something to do with resting states of mind, with meditation and biorhythms. The interest that puts us on the path to discovery is something else. It breaks a spell and feeds on mental arousal.
I think that the exciting kind of interest is intimately connected to the beginning of understanding, and it is in this way that the psychological intertwines with the epistemological. Understanding rarely comes ab initio, by simply tracing the consequences of a theory. Even the epitome of Dirac's positron prediction had a small struggle for understanding embedded in it: Dirac first thought the proton was the antiparticle to the electron. He had to tweak his worldview to solve the puzzle and propose the positron instead.
Something is judged to be interesting because of our inability to explain it or, as Anne Poduska points out, it just has not been posited before. That judgment is not generally announced in broadsides or by community consensus. (There are exceptions, such a David Hilbert's 23 mathematical problems. He proclaimed them as interesting, and because of Hilbert's stature and intuition, they inspired a good deal of later research.) But I believe that, for the most part, the judgment ("now this is interesting") is made in solitude, or perhaps in the setting of a small research group. This is what happened for Anne Poduska and me in that small problem of the choosy sulfur rectangles.
Faced with a puzzle, and excited by it, I do try to understand the anomaly before me. My failure to find a ready explanation, and my feeling that the phenomenon is nonetheless understandable—these are both motivating psychological actions. In time, if I am fortunate, my thinking brings me to an explanation that makes sense not only to me, but to the community of chemists. I wouldn't have gotten there without thinking, "That molecule is really interesting."

By Love Transformed
Disappointed With a Word From God
Naaman's servants went to him and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, 'Wash and be cleansed'!" —2 Kings 5:13
Perhaps you have gone to church or to a Bible study hoping for a word from the Lord, and you have sat there thinking, Well, so far God hasn't spoken to me. I don't know why I even came.
Second Kings 5 tells the story of Naaman, who suffered from leprosy. He hears of the famous prophet Elisha through his wife's little Israelite servant girl. He makes all kinds of arrangements and finally goes to where Elisha is. But Elisha won't even come out to meet him! Naaman feels insulted. Here he is—a commander and an officer—and Elisha won't even greet him. Instead, the prophet sends a message (which Naaman doesn't like at all): "Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed" (v. 10).
Naaman goes away angry: "I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy" (v. 11). "How dare he insult me? Go to the Jordan and wash seven times?!"
Naaman's servants persuade him to believe that this really is a word from the Lord. Naaman goes into the Jordan once and comes out just like he was. The second time—still no change. When he goes in a third time, he thinks, Well, I'll start getting better now. But no. Even after the sixth time, there's no difference. But on the seventh time, lo and behold, he is healed completely!
It may be that God has given you a word and you don't like it. You want something else, some other word. Jesus said, "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much" (Luke 16:10). Accept what God has given you, and who knows what will happen in the end?

My wife and I raise chickens and have conventional and aquaponics gardens on our 2 acres.As it turns out Dadent is in our town...which sure seems to make getting equipment and such squared away!I'll be going to some Alachua bee keepers meetings, have read the dummies guide and working through langstroghs hive and honey bee and want to learn more...after glancing through threads it seems there is just a ton to learn...and wow is ccd controversial!I am planning on starting with a 6 5/8 super, beemax top feeder and a screened bottom...as well as a full insulated suit.Is it too late in the year to get a nuc and get it started? I'll check next week with Dadents.
Hea, that full insulated suit could bee good if its air conditoned. Maybe a little hard to get around in though. I love picking on people. I am in South Mississippi, I do have a full suit, thin, and needs more ventilation. I try not to wear it much. Welcome to the forum, and good luck. Beek is addictive.Joe

"'Twas the night before Christmas … The children were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads." Those firsts words from Clement Moore's classic poem, "Twas the Night Before Christmas," gives a lot of us happy memories.
However, there are countless children, some who might live just down the street from you, who will not have the luxury of a warm bed to nestle into as they await Santa. Rather, they find rest on some feeble substitute such as the floor and a blanket. For some children and youth, a sleeping bag or pillow is considered a treat.
In this season of merriment and glad tidings, there are families struggling daily to provide a roof overhead much less presents 'neath the tree. There are children who are desperate to receive a food bag at the close of their school day, which could very well be all they will consume between Friday afternoon and Monday morning. Not to mention, there are children living in homes that have holes in the floor in need of serious repair or an electric bill gone unpaid because of lack of income.
These are the tragic victims who we are dedicated to rescuing as devoted members of the Hardin County Schools Family Resource and Youth Services Center team. We go into homes to provide a "hand up" not a "hand out" because, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas also tells about a precious gift — a gift which we, as FRYSC team members strive daily to provide.
As the story continues, "The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there." That present is the precious gift of hope.
Whether providing the means for a parent to obtain their GED, making home visits to begin early childhood education through the First Connections program or sponsoring a parent involvement event at a local school which emphasizes the importance of literacy, Family Resource and Youth Service Centers are determined to make a difference in the lives of children each and every day.
Our community is the strongest asset in helping us assist our families. While many can see all the amazingly wonderful "troops" rally throughout the holiday season such as Helping Hand of Hope and Salvation Army, these partnering agencies provide so much more throughout the entire calendar year.
For example, where would many services be without the United Way's continual financial support which keeps the FRYSC's First Connections program educating our toddlers, the Community Health Clinic serving the public and Feeding America providing weekend food backpacks for our children?
And then, how could one forget all the many local businesses and individuals who "adopt" children in need especially during the holiday season?
We are blessed to live in a community that chooses to provide hope regardless of its shape. Hardin Countians give continuously to make sure friends and neighbors are comforted.
However, there always is a need. Whether it's paying the remaining balance on someone's water bill, a carefully selected present for a special "angel" from the Helping Hand of Hope or Salvation Army tree or even providing a bed for a child to nestle into on Christmas Eve, we truly can send the heartfelt wish of "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night."
Janay Sutton is director of Health and Family Youth Service Centers for Hardin County Schools.

Opening day on the Connecticut zone in the kingdom and we smacked 'em good.
Set up Sunday in the lowest water we have seen. Came back this morning and the water was up by three feet as the big rain had them open the dam probably. I thought I knew where a hole was and missed in and went up to my chest and completely submerged the beretta. Poured the water out of it and she was very good to go. Disassembled at home and we will hit them again this week.

Best of Mp3car.com community innovation and development
Ride Runner
The Unexpected
Ride Runner
New SkinCommunity Development
The community is helping DocBreezy bring a sleek new skin, named '506' to Ride Runner. by DocBreezy.
In addition to suggestions and beta testing, Treetop, Thunderstick, blk02si, Sonicxtacy02, GizmoQ, carputer1are lending a hand with advice and code support to bring it along.
506 also builds on the flexible plug-in architecture of Ride Runner by using:
- RRGas -Enforcer's gas price finder for US and UK
- Movietimes - a plug-in that retrieves movie times for your zip code (US only)
- Coverjuke - an implementation of Coverflow for Ride Runner.
Control your phone in Ride Runner. MyMobiler is a Windows mobile phone control program that can be controlled from the skin.
Skype for RR
Member lambosprit is at it again. As if solving the bluetooth problem wasn't enough, lambosprit has a basic plug-in for Ride Runner that brings Skype functionality to the car PC. It makes and receives calls between both Skype users and external phone numbers. Check it out.
Member pcpete has developed a plug-in for Ride Runner called Covermess. It's a Flash app that displays your albums in a pile, as if they were real CD's. You can select and play music from them, similar to the Coverflow display on an iPod. Check out the video in the first post for what it looks like. A really nice bit of programming!
Linux ICE and nGhost
Just in case you don't hang out on mp3car.com forums 24X7, you may not be aware that there is a flourishing open source car PC environment for Linux called nGhost.
Version 2.0.0 is details are available here and kev000 is one of the lead developers for a team of like minded community members including:
among others. You can find the nGhost download here
Shift by wire
Automated P-R-N-D-L - Member turbocad6 is at it again with a plan to replace his automatic shifter. The community has been tossing around ideas about how to do this and ways to implement it. Right now, it looks like an Arduino board and a linear actuator will do the job for push button shifting. Got something to contribute? turbocad6 will need help programming and engineering. Check it out.
Towards a more flexible front-end.
The front end is the software that ties together all of the functions that the computer offers into an easy to navigate and control 'face' for using the computer while driving. There are numerous front ends (Ride Runner, Centrafuse, nGhost, Streetdeck as examples). This thread is a brainstorming discussion about how to create a more flexible front end that requires less configuration and tinkering yet runs across platforms. If you've got ideas or want to see the community at work on an idea, stop by and check it out!
Lovely when a plan comes together. Check out member malcom2073's new front end, CarPal. The community is helping him to lay out a plug-in scheme for the front end, and Sonicxtacy02 is working on a skin for the new front end. A great example of the community helping to develop a software product.
The Unexpected
From spud cannons to automated pyrotechnics controllers the community continues to innovate and develop new and very unexpected uses for hardware. Find out how a plastic toolbox and a Fusion Brain = pyrotechnics controller.
The Fusion Brain is one of the most popular hardware add-ons for community members. Developed by two of the community members, 2k1Toaster and greenman, the FB allows your computer to interface with the outside world in both analog and digital fashion. Using standalone software, the FB can be programmed to read temperatures, control relays, stepper motors, infrared sensors and so forth. Car PC'ers use them to operate windows, switch relays on and off, read temperatures and even control Christmas lights on their car

Watch and learn
As kids transition from infancy to the toddler years, "nurture" overtakes "nature" in respect to developing eating patterns. "Children learn the rules of eating from their caregivers," says Mennella. Adult role models teach kids what constitutes food and how foods should be prepared. They set rules about when certain foods should or should not be eaten.
One of the foremost experts on the development of eating behavior in children is Jennifer Orlet Fisher, Ph.D., assistant professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Fisher's research, and that of her colleagues, shows that young children learn to prefer foods that are familiar and ones presented as "acceptable" in their homes.
During early childhood one begins to associate both positive and negative experiences with particular foods. Offering a child a certain food as part of a fun celebration or ritual (e.g., birthday cake) enhances his preference for that food. On the other hand, insisting that a child eat something in order to get a reward—"finish your peas and then you can watch television"—usually creates a negative food association. "These 'contingency' strategies are effective in the short run: they do get a kid to eat peas," says Fisher. "But over the long haul, they tend to backfire." In other words, bribing a child to eat something tends to reinforce the negative associations with that food.
The best way to teach someone that healthy foods are important (and delicious) is to eat them yourself. In a study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, Dr. Fisher and her colleagues showed that parents who ate lots of fruits and vegetables generally had daughters who consumed plenty of produce, too, whereas parents who pushed fruits and vegetables but ate few servings themselves tended to have daughters who had low intakes of fruits and vegetables. Moral of the study: If you're trying to help someone to eat a healthier diet, show—don't tell—them how to do it.
After speaking with Dr. Fisher, I realized that my parents never had to force me to eat vegetables or fruits because I'd learned to associate them with fun experiences, such as selecting fresh cherries at the farmer's market with my mother. These activities emphasized that a juicy peach or a watermelon was the prize. Seeing my mother enjoy salads and sweet potatoes reinforced that concept. Could watching me enjoy healthy foods have suggested to Jack that they were "good" and encouraged him to try them for himself? Perhaps. Says Fisher: "We see other people enjoying different foods, and so we try them too."

'True to the recent history of this series, the Sabres got up early and prepared to play a game of keepaway. That's worked for them in six of the last seven meetings between the teams, and it looked no different after someone named Ales Kotalik scored the first two.'

Council of Europe Anti-Racism Commission to prepare report on Azerbaijan
Strasbourg, 05.10.2010 - A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) visited Azerbaijan from 27 September to 1 October 2010 as the first step in the preparation of a monitoring report. During its visit, ECRI´s delegation gathered information on the implementation of the recommendations it made to the authorities in its previous report of 2007 and discussed new issues that have emerged since.
The delegation held meetings in Baku and Lenkoran with representatives of all relevant ministries, public officials, human rights NGOs and minority groups.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in the country. Among these, three will be revisited two years after the publication of the report as part of an interim follow-up procedure.
In its 2007 report, ECRI expressed concern that cases of racist and inflammatory speech against various minority groups or the promotion of religious intolerance by some media, politicians and members of the general public continued to occur. It also found that the unsolved conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh had a negative impact on the climate concerning Armenians.
In the same report, ECRI expressed concern over allegations of cases of harassment by law enforcement and other officials against members of some minority groups, as well as difficulties experienced by some categories of non-citizens in obtaining legal status. It also noted a lack of awareness on the part of the Azerbaijani population with respect to racism and intolerance in Azerbaijan and of the legal provisions designed to combat such phenomena.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member states. For more information on ECRI: www.coe.int/ecri

The Sabres made seven selections on Day Two of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. For the first time in recent history, the Sabres selected all North American players including three Americans.
Archives for June 2007
Reviewing the Sabres' 2007 Draft Selections
Philadelphia: The next Hockeytown?
'Brennan played with St. John's of the Quebec Junior League last season and displayed enough skills to make him a bona fide prospect. His slap shot has been timed at 97 miles per hour and that's high end even for the NHL. But his expectations are realistic. He's a boy in a man's (6-0, 204 pounds) body. "I'm not going to play in the NHL in the next couple of years," Brennan said, "but I'm going to do everything I can to get there."'
Big surprise for little Byron
'"He's a good pick. He's small, but, if he grows into his body –which he has plenty of time to do, he can play in (the NHL)."'
Brennan tops the charts
'"That's what I want to consider myself as, someone that makes the other teams say 'Watch out. He's carrying the puck.' "'
Brennan sees tale of the tape
'"But what you want to know is if they have a good understanding of who they are, even at a young age. If they're honest with themselves. You get a sense of their makeup and their acceptance of responsibility and accountability and things like that. It's interesting. It's something we've really only been doing over the last few years. For most of the guys they get to see some video, they see some good things, they get to see some not so good things and they're asked to explain what's happening. I think it's been helpful."'
Howell, Brighton standouts drafted
'Eno, who spent last year — what would have been his senior year at Howell — playing for the Green Mountain Glades of the Eastern Junior Hockey League, was taken with the 187th pick overall. That made for a busy day on the phone. "It's the most phone calls I've ever gotten," he laughed. "I left home at about 1 (p.m.), my agent called at 2 to tell me I'd been drafted and my phone hasn't stopped ringing since."'
Buffalo Sabres to give Moorestown's Brennan a shot
'"There were three or four players we had in mind, but Brennan was the guy everyone felt the most comfortable with and wanted the most," Sabres general manager Darcy Regier said.'
Brennan goes first on Day 2
'Both Buffalo general manager Darcy Regier and Brennan said they had good vibes coming out of a pre-draft meeting between team officials and the players. And although the Sabres, who didn't have a selection in the first round Friday, had considered trading the No. 31 pick to add more selections, Regier told Sabres Television they were more than content to keep the 31st pick when Brennan was still available.'
Five Stampede players drafted by NHL
'Tropp was also selected in the third round (89th overall) by the Buffalo Sabres. Tropp was the leading scorer for the Herd last season, posting 62 points (26g, 36a) in 54 games. He also led the Herd in playoff scoring with 13 points (4g, 9a) in eight games while leading the Stampede to their first ever Clark Cup Championship. He will attend Michigan State University this fall.'
Destinations determined
'"It's a real honor," said Eidsness, who learned about the pick via cell phone while on the golf course. "It's going to be a very good challenge for me."'
Sabres' silence deafening
'The general impression is Buffalo GM Darcy Regier is dragging his feet with Briere and Drury. He hasn't shown representatives for either of the club's top two players any willingness to make an offer. Surely, the Sabres are going to make an effort this week to keep either Drury or Briere. They've been afraid to say anything publicly because they don't want to look like they're choosing one guy or insulting anybody.'
Briere inching closer to free agency; Sabres yet to make an offer
'Without ruling out the possibility of re-signing with Buffalo, Briere's agent, Pat Brisson, said Saturday the chances are increasing that his client will test the market once NHL free agency opens July 1. "It's different now," Brisson said, noting this is Briere's first opportunity to be an unrestricted free agent. "We'll see. It's getting closer and closer."'
Sabres begin their Draft Weekend with two blueliners
'After waiting on the sidelines of Day One of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, the Buffalo Sabres used their first two picks – both in the second round – to select two defensemen.'
