How crazy are things in the topsy-turvy AFC? Consider that the Colts, Patriots and Steelers -- who have combined for six Super Bowl titles and nine AFC championships this century -- all lost at home Sunday.
The last time that happened? Not in this decade of dominance. You have to go back to Nov. 17, 1991 -- when Chuck Noll was still Pittsburgh's coach, Bill Belichick was Cleveland's boss and Peyton Manning was in high school.
The Colts are cooked this year sans Manning. But the Patriots and Steelers still have strong chances to reach Indianapolis for Super Bowl XLVI. The last time one member of this AFC triumvirate didn't represent the conference was 2002, when the Raiders went to Super Bowl XXXVII. ... Will the three-way conference monopoly continue?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Delia from Love this product Hi. I am 69 years old and have always had the most delicate skin. It runs in my family. Just about anything breaks me out in blisters or worse. This is the only skin cream that keeps my skin smooth, wrinkle-less, lightens my spots, tightens everything, and does not give me blisters. I have been using Strivectin for about 10 years and people think I am 15 to 20 years younger. Hey, their words not mine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cheryl from Two favorites If I could, I would buy every Strivectin product. They all fulfill the promises made on the label. Using Strivectin SD, my scars faded and brown spots did too. The eye concentrate faded my lines and dark circles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Marcia from The Perfect Pair I have used these two products since 2004. I am 50 years old and my skin is almost ageless. These two products are very powerful and do perform magic. I don't even wear any makeup (except eye shadow and mascara) because my skin is so clear. These products will last a year used daily so even the cost is exceptional. I will never change products!

A market, as defined by Highlights magazine, is a place where Gallant buys fresh produce for his mother and Goofus sets bear traps for Gallant. Follow Gallant's good lead with today's deal: for $10, you get $25 worth of gourmet groceries and deli fare at Messineo's Gourmet Market in St. Petersburg.
Open since June, Messineo's burgeoning stock of upscale market goods and natural health foods saves shoppers from having to harvest wholesome fare the hard way, such as hoarding a winter's worth of cage-free chicken eggs for spring planting. Messineo's departments service each block of the food pyramid with delectable precision, from its full, fresh bakery to a produce section filled with local fruits and veggies, many of which are grown no more than 10 hours from the shop. Local dairies provide the milk and eggs, and artisan cheeses comprise a model U.N. of cheese-making traditions. The butcher counter is a carnivore's paradise of fresh, sometimes organic meats and poultry, including boneless, skinless chicken breast ($4.99/lb) and beef tenderloin ($12.99/lb), and pescatarians can grin with Captain Ahab's vengeful delight at Messineo's deep-sea delicacies, including the fresh tuna loin ($15.99/lb) and the snow-crab legs ($4.99/lb).
Shoppers who hate to cook but nevertheless must absorb nutrients into their villi may opt for the deli counter's array of gourmet sandwiches, fresh salads, and hearty soups. Get your greens with a rosemary-ham chef salad ($8.99) or slurp a seasonally inappropriate side of broccoli-cheddar soup (cup $4.99, bowl $7.99) while using free WiFi at an umbrella-covered outdoor café table.
This Groupon is valid for in-store purchases only.
The St. Petersburg Times covered the opening of Messineo's Gourmet Market in June, and the blog Creative Loafing reviewed them as well.
- Mason is stressing service and convenience. Customers can shop at lunch and have their food delivered free after work. Or grab a sandwich and salad and eat at an outside table. Maybe a little blue cheese cole slaw. Not bad. – Dirk Shadd, St. Petersburg Times
- When he was a manager at Wild Oats, before its merger in 2007 with Whole Foods, Mason saw the chain stores getting bigger and bigger. "I wanted to be able to see someone walk in the door and know who they are, know what they're looking for and what they like," he says. And even though Messineo's has only been open about a week, that's just what happens a few minutes later, as he beelines away from me to talk to an incoming customer he knows by name. – Brian Ries, Creative Loafing

First deliveries of the Sikorsky S-76D medium twin–an upgraded derivative of the S-76C++–are now pegged for 2012 following FAA certification, expected in the fourth quarter of next year. This revised schedule means the program has been delayed by at least six months. The U.S. helicopter manufacturer is giving little explanation, citing only "an unexpected event" that prompted suspension of flight tests in April. The issue was solved "quickly" with engine maker Pratt & Whitney Canada and flight testing has since resumed. The two prototypes in the flight-test program have now accumulated 95 flights and 171 hours. A third aircraft will join the test fleet early next year, although Sikorsky had said in February that this addition was planned "soon." One year ago deliveries were still slated for 2010 before being postponed to 2011 in February. Sikorsky is counting more than 70 "deposited customers," down from the 100 "delivery position agreements" that were touted last year. The launch customer for the S-76D is VIP charter operator Falcon Aviation Service in the UAE.
Sikorsky S-76D Program Delayed Again

Say Goodbye to Aéropostale…Possibly Forever
Fashion| | By Lauren Boudreau
Something about the store just isn't attracting shoppers like it used to. Perhaps the large, cartoonish logos and same shirt and pant combinations but in 12 different colors isn't fulfilling teens' clothing needs. In a world where every youth strives to be different and authentic, Aéropostale just doesn't have the inventory. CEO Julian Geiger said according to Forbes, "We have chosen to take more decisive and aggressive action to create a leaner, more efficient business that is well-positioned to compete and succeed in today's retail environment." The retailer's stock did so poorly that the New York Exchange delisted it two weeks ago. However, they are implementing cost-cutting measures and focusing on re-branding. Will it be enough to save them? So far, no one can tell, but American teenagers probably don't mind much either way.

just ordered from here earlier and had to order again before they closed! they are amazing great knowledge of their Bud's and pay attention to customers likes. very very please with the customer service! waiting on 2nd delivery but sure I wont be disappointed.
The private reserve and gorilla glue are really potent. Good communication and owner is a down to earth guy.
I love this business. The owner is a super nice guy, always polite and professional. Im a huge fan of Blue Diamond, it never fails. They also have delicious Strawberry Moon Rocks! Hit them up!
Amazing flowers! Nice old school folks just like me. Will not go anywhere else.
I wanted to take the time to write some truth about Rapid Relief.. They treat us like family they always give us special deals and the meds are absolutely the best consistently. Roy the regular driver in this area is a sweet heart and always polite. They are always ontime and if they are late they call ahead and adjust the ETA. If consistency matters to you call Rapid Relief and you will not be un happy we never have been one time.
to many fast, professional services for me to turn to this place again. Delivery took almost 2 hrs, 1 hr past their original eta. Parked in front of a neighbors driveway after driving up and down the block a couple of times. way to high key for me. Bud wasn't labeled, ordered their PR and was i got was good but with no label it just makes me suspicious. you would think since we cant see them weigh it out they would be more strict about proper labels with name and weight. 5g for 50 for ftp of pr, but a 2 hr wait and a lost drive with the audacity to still fish for a tip. Too many strikes to recommend to someone else, especially if you like your service with any amount of professionalism
Dear Valued Patients... This review is rather astonishing. How do you get good meds at a good price yet still post a review like this... There is a reason this person waited longer than he may have wanted (1:31 which included a significant delay due to a traffic accident on the off ramp).He did not mention 3 days prior he placed an order then after the order had been processed and was sent out he cancelled while the delivery was enroute because we could not be there in 30 minutes He also provided the incorrect address. When he called again I seriously considered not serving him. Against my better judgement I served him gave him free meds in spite of stiffing us earlier.Our delivery times is always an hour or less however like any delivery service we do get backed up and it may take a little longer. OUR DRIVERS NEVER ASK FOR TIPS MEDS ARE LABELED ON THE BOTTLE AND THE BAG. If that was not the case here why didnt you call.
quickly verified! buds have great smells and taste as well . definitely ordering again!
Always deliver with in an hour or less. I often get my meds in 20min. Great bud that never fails!
They NEVER fail me. The meds are the kine they are always on time and professional cool people
If your looking for good meds and concentrates these are the guys you need to call they will give you good prices and the quality is good

CHICAGO (AP) O'Hare International Airport can't use federal stimulus money for its ongoing $15 billion expansion because of the Obama administration's criteria, but instead it will finance two smaller projects at one of the nation's busiest airports, Chicago officials said Monday.
The Chicago airport got $12 million from the stimulus package President Obama signed last month — a relatively small sum compared to typically massive cash injections for airport projects.
Asked whether he was disappointed, Mayor Richard Daley said, "It's better than nothing."
"People talk about a billion, trillion, but $12 million is a lot of money," Daley said. "We're very grateful."
City and state leaders announced at an airport news conference that the $12 million would be used to repave an existing runway and widen a taxiway.
Officials overseeing the multibillion O'Hare expansion had hoped for a cut of $1.1 billion set aside in the stimulus for airports. But guidelines drawn up by the Federal Aviation Administration excluded the possibility, Rosemarie Andolino, the city's aviation commissioner, said Monday.
One of the criteria, for example, is that planned projects cannot depend on airport-generated revenue — something the expansion project relies on heavily, said Andolino, who is director of the expansion project.
Funding the improvements of the runway and taxiway would fulfill the objectives of the federal stimulus, as would creating an estimated 75 jobs for the projects, said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
In the first phase of the expansion, O'Hare inaugurated a $450 million runway in November — its first new runway in nearly 40 years. But the airport hasn't secured funding for a second phase of expansion, which includes another new runway and terminal.
With stimulus money not a possibility, the city will look to other sources. Negotiations are ongoing with cash-strapped airlines to secure money for the second phase, Andolino said.
"Not receiving the $50 million or any amount of money, it will just be funded under our traditional methods of funding airport construction projects, which would be general airport revenue-backed bonds," she said.
She added that, despite the funding challenges, she was confident the expansion project would be completed by 2014.

Venice is expensive and this Hotel is no exception but the rooms are spacious and well appointed - luxurious actually. The staff is superb - endless patience with our questions and inability to operate the electronic keys ;-) They also added a third bed to a room when an additional niece joined our group at the last minute. The location is just a block off the grand canal very close to the Rialto bridge which really helps when you get a little lost in the maze of Venice streets and canals. Make sure you understand the electronic notification system for getting your room cleaned. We didn't and accidentally left the occupied light on all day so didn't get maid service.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Just opened in 2006, Hotel a La Commedia is located in one of the most lively areas of the historical centre a few steps away from Rialto bridge and the most famous San Marco's Square. ... more less

Did Richard Gere Diss 'Pretty Woman'?
In a recent interview with Woman's Day, the 62-year-old actor said, "It's my least favorite thing. People ask me about that movie, but I've forgotten it. That was a silly romantic comedy. This is a much more serious movie that has some real cause and effect."
What?! The 1990s film, about a call girl with a heart of gold (played by Julia Roberts) and a business man finding love, is considered by many to be a classic. The film also launched Gere and Roberts into superstardom.
What do you think of Richard's diss? Sound off in the comments!

We did not stay here, we stayed next door at the Beau. We just had the buffet and gambled in the casino. I like the ambience and the decor, being a rock fan. It is a little smoky in the casino. The buffet was really good, but the crab legs were a little dry... when I cracked them, they would not come out in big juicy pieces, but flaked apart. Good taste, but frustrating and a lot of work.... The desserts in the buffet were amazing though. I ate alot of the cookies and they even had chocolate fondue fountain with fruit and marshmallows and fudge to dip in it... Yummm!! There went my diet, LOL! I will definitely eat here again and may try staying here in the future, especially if they comp me a room!

c. 771 BC
|Reign of Amulius:
|Reign of Didius:
Following the removal of all threats to Amulius' reign, he would begin consolidating power in his kingdom. Amulius' descendants would continue his efforts, establishing themselves as a powerful union in the peninsula, matched closely by the Etruscans, who expand unhindered, and several other native tribes.
Italic People
Several weeks after the removal of Rhea Silvia's children, she too would meet a similar fate, falling ill in her prison cell. She died, further removing all possibilities of a male heir challenging Amulius. Dealing with the small crisis accordingly, Amulius turned his focus back toward the duties of Alba Longa. He retired back to his palace, residing in the city of Lavinium, first founded by Aeneas centuries earlier. Looking to further establish himself as a force that would not be removed, Amulius secured the borders of Alba Longa, from Lavinium to Albanus Lacus, where the city of Alba Longa stands. Years earlier the city of Alba Longa had been the site of the founding of the Latin League, a loose confederation of Latin towns and villages, acting as a buffer to Etruscan expansion from the north. The land of the Latin people stretched from the Tiber River to the promontory of Monte Circeo, separating the Latins from Etruria via the Silva Ciminia, an unbroken and feared forest to the north of Lavinium.
More exact borders were drawn by Amulius, and a careful eye was played upon the forest, toward the Etruscans and the Sabines to the east. For this purpose, and to prevent another wealthy individual usurping his kingdom, Amulius commissioned a small militia known as the Diogmita Latinum, drawing men from several local clans and villages. The group was paid small wages, and tasked primarily with pursuing robbers outside major cities. Several paid guards would also be stationed in the palace at Lavinium.
Guards were paid with primarily with pecus, sheep, much like most of the peninsula. For most of the early Latins, bartering had been the dominant form of trade, used in small local marketplaces to buy basic necessities. Trade was local, especially farther inland, the only exception being sea trade, to which the Latins were mostly excluded.
The Etruscans benefited greatly from trade over the seas. With settlements spread across the peninsula, trade commenced from the Po Valley, in the far north, to the Campania region, and to the Etruscan homeland of Etruria. Etruscan traders are also known to have contacted Greek colonies in Sicily and southern Italy.
The Etruscans imposed their cultural and political institutions over the native people of the north, creating a second Dodecapolis, a federation of twelve cities, much like the twelve main cities of the first Dodecapolis in Etruria, founded by Tarchon and his brother Tyrrhenus. The Etruscans were able to trade with several cities states along the Adriatic Sea, transporting goods along the Po River, from cities such as Mantua, to ports in the east, such as Atria and Spica. Throughout Umbria and several city states in the area, imported goods from Greece and Etruria became common, as well as the production of local pottery.
Alba AmuliusIn 749 BC Amulius died of natural causes, leaving his oldest son, Alba Amulius to be crowned king. Under his reign Alba Longa would extend its influence over the Latin tribes, and lay the foundations for future towns.
Alba Amulius was seventeen years of age when he became leader of Alba Longa. At his coronation in Lavinium many looked on with mixed thoughts. The new king was smaller and less experienced than his father, having little experience in actual combat. At his first Feriae Latinae as king, the Latin Festival, first established generations earlier, Alba Amulius allowed his people gathered on Alban Mount to feast and celebrate heavily.
As part of his first real acts as king Alba Amulius commissioned the creation of several large pastures near the city of Alba Longa. Trade along ancient Sabine trails would help the Latins to secure salt from the Adriatic Sea, mostly through trade. This trail would eventually become known as the Via Salaria, due to its importance in the salt trade.
Alba Longa's small militia began to be paid in salt, as well as pecus from the northern pastures. This military improvement, which increased the loyalty of the Latin militia worried the tribes north of Alba Longa, across the Tiber River, known as the Fidenates, an Etruscan
The Fidenates led a raiding party into Latinum in 747 BC, destroying a hand full of Latin farms near Alba Longa. Alba Amulius gathered a small army of Diogmita, backed by a larger force of militia supplied from the wealthy countryside, where the fighting had inflicted a personal toll on the clan leaders. Messages reached all the Latin tribes of the league, mustering additional aid within a few days. All together, a force of about three centuriae of Diogmita, ten centuriae of militia, and about ninety horsemen, led by Alba Amulius himself, departed from Alba Longa for the north.
The initial Fidenate raids primarily revolved around the Via Salaria. Hundreds of pounds of salt from the Adriatic Sea were raided from the trade route by parties of Fidenates. On 13 Maius 747 BC the army of Alba Amulius attacked the Fidenates several miles northeast of Alba Longa. The Fidenates were stunned by such a large army, but met the Latins on the battlefield. Each side suffered heavy casualties, but the Latins managed to rout the Fidenates, who fled to their city of Fidenae.
Etruscan reinforcements from Veii, a militant city allied with Fidenae, moved toward the city, hoping to intercept the Latins as they crossed further into Etruscan land. Eager to make quick territorial gains, Alba Amulius ordered his army toward Fidenae, into the combined forces of the Etruscan tribes of the Tiber.
Alba Amulius positioned his main force in the east, using the local terrain to his advantage. The first Centuriae Diogmitiae accompanied by five centuries of militia advanced to the southwest, taking cover behind small outcroppings and trees to cover their advance. The Etruscans sent their primary force east, surrounding themselves from the east and south. When fighting broke out, a second force of Etruscans engaged the southern Latin flank. Although the Latins held the upper hand, they were forced to retreat from such heavy losses. Alba Amulius, fearing that the Veii would get support from the entire Etruscan Dodecapolis, he dedicated the remainder of the campaign to holding his position and guarding the Via Salaria.
The Fidenates pushed onward after the retreating Latins, suffering far greater losses, and exhausting the Etruscan supply lines. The advances collapsed, and on 1 Quintilis the Latins surrounded Fidenae. The Latins entered the city the next day, slaughtering Etruscan settlers, and taking whatever supplies they could. The town was razed, and the Latins took their plunder and captives back to Alba Longa.
The Tiber River was used by the Latins as a natural barrier for future attacks. Raids from both sides were common, with little territorial changes being made. Veii was never able to secure the manpower needed to push past the river defenses, instead raiding the increasingly defended Via Salaria.
Alba Amulius died on 4 Novembris 744, presumably from a riding accident. As people gathered for his funeral, the conflict continued just outside the city.
Reign of Servius
Following the death of Alba Amulius, his brother would be crowned king of Alba Longa. Servius, son of Amulius, opened up peace negotiations with the Etruscans. On 1 Martius 743 the Etruscans and Latins agreed to peace, decreeing that the Etruscans shall never again settle across the Tiber River. The Latins would retain all land to the south, including most of the ruined lands of the Fidenates. Both parties would also retain the right to use the Via Salaria for peaceful trade with the Adriatic Sea city states.
Following the war's end Servius greatly disarmed the Latin League, sending veterans of the frontier war back to their homes. The militia was discharged, and the remaining volunteers were trained as Diogmitiae to protect the border against robbers and other threats. Vast government property was distributed to former officers, to begin a plentiful network of farms and pastures. Houses were also constructed along the Tiber, using supplies raided from Fidenae, beginning small-scale river trade.
Servius was known to be a peaceful ruler, serving until his death in 722. Of his three sons, his son Tiberinus would follow as king.
Reign of Tiberinus
Tiberinus became king in 722 and was crowned in the capital city of Alba Longa. Cautious of Etruscan expansion, Tiberinus began his reign by stationing several units of Diogmitiae along the Tiber River, the Latins' border against Etruscan aggression. Believed by many to be a paranoid individual, Tiberinus would commission a vast earthworks defense system along the Latin-Etruscan border. Taking several years to complete, the defenses known as the Aggeris Tiberini, or Tiberinus' Rampart, measured about thirty km in length, reaching four meters in height in most parts.
The defense network partially drained the Latins' coffers, forcing Tiberinus to focus on ways of improving his kingdom's economy. The layout and organization of farms in central Latinum were improved to produce a steady stream of food in case of war, eventually through trade and agriculture, Tiberinus would stabilize the kingdom's treasury. Tiberinus ruled until his dead in 698, leaving his son, Didius to rule over Alba Longa.
According to Greek legend, the Ἡρακλεῖδαι, or Heracleidae, were the descendants of the Greek hero Heracles, proclaimed son of Zeus and Greek champion. It is believed that Heracles was destined to rule over the kingdoms of Argos, Lacedaemon, and Messenian Pylos, but his rightful possessions had been stripped by Hera and had fallen into the hands of Eurystheus of Mycenae.
The Heracleidae fled to Athens, following the death of Heracles, finding refuge there from Eurystheus. Eurystheus demanded that they surrender to them, and later led an attack on Athens. The attack was unsuccessful and Eurystheus was slain in battle.
Following the attack Hyllus, son of Heracles, and his brothers led an invasion into Peloponnesus, finding moderate success. The forces of the Heracleidae were eventually forced to withdraw after one years time following a strong pestilence. The Heracleidae fled to Thessaly, the land of Aegimus who had aided Heracles against the Lapithae years earlier. Aegimus adopted Hyllus and gave him sections of his territory, alongside Aegimus' sons, Pamphylus and Dymas. After the death of Aegimus his two sons submitted to Hyllus, who became the ruler of the Dorians, one of the main four ethnic groups of the Greeks, alongside the Aeolians, Achaeans, and Ionians.
Desiring to reclaim the lands destined to be ruled by Heracles, Hyllus prepared for war. After consulting with the Delphic oracle Hyllus waited three years, as spoken to him in his hearing, receiving word that after "three fruit" had been met, he would travel over a narrow passage and succeed. His forces marched across the isthmus of Corinth after the third year, attacking the city of Mycenae. Hyllus met on the fields of battle with Atreus, successor to Eurystheus. During his campaign Hyllus would be killed in single combat after a challenge from Echemus, king of Arcadia.
Another attempt to take Mycenae would be led years later by Cleodaeus, son of Hyllus, and grandson of Heracles. This attempt would also be repulsed. A fourth attempt under Aristomachus, son of Cleodaeus would be attempted, meeting the forces of Tisamenus, king of Argos, Mycenae, and Sparta, and again being repulsed. Finally the Aristomachus' sons, Temenus, Cresphontes, and Aristodemus met with the oracle, complaining of its fatal, and unsuccessful instructions. Here they received word that the "three fruit" was instead referring to three generations, which had now passed, and that the "narrow passage" was not Corinth, but the Straits of Rhium.
Temenus met with the oracle a second time, this time being told that a guide with three eyes would lead him. He returned to Naupactus, on his way meeting an Aetolian named Oxylus, who had one eye. Temenus perceived this as a sign and pressed him into service. The Heracleidae managed to prepare a fleet, and set sail from Naupactus for the Peloponnesus. The state of Elis in Arcadia, from which Oxylus originated, aided the Heracleidae, as did the Aetolians. Temenus, accompanied by Oxylus and the forces of the Heracleidae, led the Aetolian and Dorian invaders, meeting a united Peloponnesian Achaean army, excluding Arcadia, lead by Tisamenus. The Heracleidae were successful and Tisamenus was slain in battle.
Following the successful battle, the Peloponnesus was divided among the three commanders, despite resistance still present in the region. Temenus would rule over Argos, Procles and Eurysthenes, sons of Aristodemus, would rule over Sparta, Cresphontes, son of Aristomachus, would rule over Messene, and Oxylus would rule the fertile lands of Elis.
Heraclid Rule
Following the successful conquests of the Heracleidae, much of the Peloponnesus was declared under Dorian rule, and the previous rulers, the Neleides and the Atreids, were forced to emigrate to Athens. The Dorians would heavy colonize Sparta, growing it from a small city state on the east of the central Eurotas valley to a large city state. Aristodemus' untimely death left his infant sons Procles and Eurysthenes to rule Sparta. The problem of no designated successor was eventually resolved by decreeing that both children would rule the city state, creating a dual monarchy. Until their maturity Sparta was ruled by a Theban regent known as Theras, who was the brother of the childens' mother.
In Messene Cresphontes was eventually able to be accepted as king, marrying Merope, the daughter of the Achaean king of Arcadia. This was successful until an insurrection was led by the Archaean noble families, assassinating Cresphontes and all of his sons, except his youngest, Aepytus, who was receiving schooling in Arcadia.
Years later, with assistance from the Dorian kingdoms of Sparta and Argos, and the Achaean kingdom of Arcadia, Aepytus would be restored as king of Messene. The insurgents were executed, and the locals were eventually swayed to follow Aepytus, who founded a new dynasty known as the Aepytidae. The Aepytidae would assimilate into Achaean culture, taking the ancient shrine on Mount Ithome as their own. They would also eventually join the yearly festival to Apollo at Delos, which was a central idea of the Ionians.
This rapid assimilation provoked and angered the Dorians of Messenia who viewed themselves as dominant over the Achaeans by right of conquest. This view was also supported by the Spartans who had managed to maintain Dorian cultural dominance over the Eurotas valley, forming the local Achaeans into the Spartan social class of perioeci, who were free, non-citizen Spartans.
By the mid 700's BC the rivalry between Sparta and Messenia was beginning to reach its breaking point. The Achaeans and Dorians had been in constant rivalry since the return of the Heracleidae and the assimilation period of Messenia. This hatred led to an outburst of violence in 768 BC in which the Messenians, led by king Phintas, attended an Ionian festival where the Spartans were worshipping. Although no one knows of the exact chronology of the "raid", several men were killed at the temple.
Another example of the hatred between the two groups is that of Polychares of Messenia, an Olympic athlete. Polychares leased lands from a Spartan named Euaiphnos, who sold his cattle to avoid them being used, claiming they were stolen. Polychares found out that cattle had been sold and demanded payment, so Euaiphnos departed with Polychares' son to go take back the payment. Once over the border however, Euaiphnos killed the son, fleeing from Polychares. The Spartan magistrates were petitioned for justice, and eventually a Spartan delegation was sent to the kings of Messenia. The two parties began reviewing the history of the two states, but it eventually turned to violence. Following the failed attempt at peace, a large Spartan army was ordered to invade Messenia.
First Messenian War
At the time of the war the Spartan Constitution was in effect, producing a large professional army for use in the war. Approximately 3,000 infantry, and 1,500 cavalry was fielded by the Spartans. under the command of King Alcmenes. Without any notification of war, the Spartans approached the city of Ampheia, on the western flank of the Taygetus. The city held no garrison, and the Spartans were able to easily storm inside the city. Many of the civilians were killed, and the rest sold into slavery. The city would later become the site of future operations into Messenia, housing the large Spartan garrison.
When news of the Spartan invasion reached the Messenian capital of Stenkleros, king Euphaes addressed a crowd of Messenians, encouraging his citizens to enlist in the military. Those suitable for battle inside the city were equipped and trained. The Messenian's strategy was to employ fixed defenses by fortifying inside well defended towns and avoid raids against the Spartans.
At first the Spartans focused on raiding small farms and undefended areas to seize grain and other valuables. The Spartans were were ordered to leave buildings and other natural resources unharmed for future use. With the Messenians deep within their many fortified towns the Spartans were unable to dislodge them, while the Messenians were unable to attack the main Spartan army up front. The war would continue like this, with the Messenians choosing to occasionally assault small undefended sections of the Spartan border.
By the summer of 739 Euphaes became determined to change the tide of the war. The Messenians were robbed of their countryside and were forced to attack the Spartans to remove them from their country. By now the volunteers from Stenkleros had been effectively trained and equipped, and Euphaes believed they were ready to meet the professional Spartan army.
Euphaes' army was ordered from Stenkleros toward the Spartans. Behind them their supply trains carried large quantities of timber and other stockade materials, planned to be used to construct a fortified base near the Spartans. Unknownst to the Messenians, the Spartans tracked the movement of the advancing army and ordered reinforcements from Sparta. As the Spartan army approached the Messenians Euphaes carefully selected a site for his army to defend. The Messenians established camp on the border of an impassible ravine, using their carried building materials to construct a fort.
Hoping to attack the exposed Messenians before their camp could be constructed, the Spartan commanders ordered their force upstream to cross the ravine and outflank the Messenians, but this was anticipated by the Messenians. A Messenian force under Pytharatos and Antandros of about 500 cavalry and light infantry met the Spartans at the end of the ravine, preventing them from getting to the camp, which was completed the next day. Blocked by the fortified camp, the Spartans were forced to withdraw from Messenia, leaving an inconclusive battle, and the Messenians the tactical advantage.
Magna Graecia
During the reign of Servius in Latinum, a large wave of Greek settlers reached Sicily in the south. The emigration was driven by several factors in Greece, most notably overpopulation and famine. The search for new commercial ports for trade led to the creation of several prosperous towns in southern Italy. Greece, largely surrounded by the sea, turned to trade over the vast sea early on, trading raw materials over the Mediterranean like never before.
The cities of southern Italy remained politically independent entities, maintaining strong religious and trade ties. Unlike the Greek homeland where marble was plentiful, the Greeks of Sicily and southern Italy crafted local limestone, creating large harbors for trade.
The city of Κύμη (Cumae) was founded in the 750's BC by Euboean Greeks, growing to become one of the dominant cities in the south. The colony thrived and would become strong enough to exert its dominance over the local area, aiding in several colonial foundings. The city become one of many influential trading stations, were Greek pottery, bronze, silver, gold, olive oil, wine, and textiles, were exchanged for luxury items and exotic raw materials from Italy. Much of the fertile Campanian plains would come under Cumae's domain as the city expanded, much to the displeasure of the inland Etruscans. The Greek city states would also make contact with the Samnites, who occupied the region of Samnium, south of Latinum. The introduction of Greek culture would lead to an increase in goods between Sicily and Latinum, helping to fuel the creation of several large towns and wealthy farmlands.
In the late 700's BC another powerful city would be founded looked over the Ionian Sea, approximately 14.5 metres above sea level. The Greek colony, surrounded by the Murgia plateau to the northwest and east, would be known as Τάρᾱς Tarās, and would later be referred to by the Latins as Tarentum. Immediately a city wall was constructed from local timber, and foundations were laid for a future temple. Most importantly, like all Greek colonies, a strong port was laid out to facilitate trade back to Greece and ship supplies and resources over the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. The city would be generally protected by sea by the two islets marking where the commercial port began. The area would also eventually house a flourishing fishing community and an important military port.
The city's founders, Dorian immigrants, would establish the city of Τάρᾱς Tarās as the first Spartan colony on the Italian peninsula. The immigrants were of a lower ranking class of Spartans known as Partheniae, who were sons of unmarried Spartan women and perioeci. The creation of the Partheniae is believed to have been decreed by the Spartans in an effort to increase the number of Spartans eligible for the military. After the Messenian Wars the low-ranking sons were forced to leave, seeing that their use was no longer needed.

Considered the Sistine Chapel of the modern era and overseen by the Benedictine monks at Saint John's Abbey in Minnesota, Illuminating the Word: The Saint John's Bible features portions of the first modern-day Bible entirely handwritten and illuminated in 500 years. World-renowned calligrapher Donald Jackson, senior scribe to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Crown Office at the House of Lords, serves as the project's artistic director from his scriptorium in Wales. Also on exhibit will be a page from an original Gutenberg Bible.
Compiled from Museum of New Mexico press materials.

Durham, NC (June 3, 2015) – M&F Bank celebrated the 2015 recipients of the Mechanics and Farmers Bank Founders Award during Tuesday's Annual Meeting of Shareholders of M&F Bancorp, Inc., recognizing Novant Health and Andrew B. "Andy" Widmark, Esq. The annual award recognizes individuals or entities that embody the "Founding Principles" based on hallmark values or attributes of the men who established the Bank in 1907, and which have guided the Bank ever since. Those Principles include: success through industrious labor; courage & leadership; embracing diversity; "doing well by doing good;" responsible citizenship; investing one's time & resources in the community; commitment to excellence and attention to detail; taking the opportunity to make a difference; and being a mentor and role model.
Novant Health, a not-for-profit healthcare system based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is the first corporate entity to receive the Founders Award. Novant's mission is to "improve the health of the communities it serves, one person at a time." The organization fulfills that mission by providing unreimbursed health services regardless of one's ability to pay, and supporting community health education groups, community screenings and other programs. A stellar example of Novant's commitment is its Community Care Cruiser, a mobile clinic that provides immunizations to uninsured and underinsured children in the greater Charlotte area. Representing Novant Health were Joe Muster, Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer, and Kevin Price, Director of Supplier Diversity. Noting that the theme for the meeting was "Transformation," Muster commented, " What I'd like to say to the shareholders is that one thing you should never change is your quality of service at M&F. Novant is a large organization, and we have relationships with other financial institutions, but we have such a sense of warmth and caring with M&F. I hope we continue our partnership for years to come."
The 2015 individual award recipient was real estate executive Andy Widmark. Widmark is the President & CEO of Mark Properties, Inc. and Mark Investments, Inc., which specialize in real estate management, brokerage, and investment. In 1993, he helped establish Downtown Durham, Inc. to serve as a catalyst for downtown revitalization. He was Professor of the Practice of Real Estate at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business from 1987 to 2013. Widmark's varied and vastly successful career also includes being partner in two different legal firms, and serving as Adjunct Professor at Rutgers University School of Law. "This is quite an honor. I've had a long relationship with M&F, and it's been a great one since the beginning. I appreciate the fact that working with them is simple, direct and hassle-free, and in my opinion, it's the people that make the difference," Widmark said after the ceremony.
Commenting on the Founders Award recipients for 2015, James H. Sills, President and CEO of M&F Bancorp, Inc. and M&F Bank, said, "Our honorees this year exemplify our Founding Principles in their dedication to excellence and commitment to community. Their examples remind us that we best honor M&F's traditions not looking back, but by moving forward consistently and with conviction, and by setting our standards high."
Mechanics and Farmers Bank (M&F Bank) is a state-chartered commercial bank founded in 1907, and has operated continuously and profitably since 1908. M&F Bank is one of few NC bank designated by the United States Treasury as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). Its vision is to be the preferred community bank in its markets. M&F Bank is the wholly owned subsidiary of M&F Bancorp, Inc., a one-bank holding company headquartered in Durham, NC, with assets of approximately $297.8 million as of March 31, 2015. M&F Bancorp's common stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market through the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "MFBP."

Durham, NC (June 9, 2014)
Mechanics and Farmers Bank celebrated the 2014 recipients of the Mechanics and Farmers Bank Founders Award during last week's Annual Meeting of Shareholders of M&F Bancorp, Inc. The annual award recognizes individuals or entities that embody the "Founding Principles" based on hallmark values or attributes of the men who established the Bank in 1907, and which have guided the Bank ever since. Those Principles include: success through industrious labor; courage & leadership; embracing diversity; "doing well by doing good;" responsible citizenship; investing one's time & resources in the community; commitment to excellence and attention to detail; taking the opportunity to make a difference; and being a mentor and role model. This year, M&F selected award recipients in two categories: R. Kelly Bryant, Jr. and Lem Long, Jr. were recognized as Foundation Builders, individuals who have rendered many years of dedicated service in their respective fields; Christopher L. "Chris" Canty and Claude Z. Demby were recognized as Torch Bearers, those whose age or careers are not of the same duration as the previous category but who will carry their commitment to the Founding Principles into the future.
Local media dubbed R. Kelly Bryant, a well known and respected community activist, a "valuable repository of history." Over the years, Bryant has been called on repeatedly to participate in research-gathering efforts by local groups and universities who wish to hear his first-hand accounts of historic events that occurred in Durham and across North Carolina over the past half century. A native of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Bryant received a degree in Business Administration from Hampton University. Following his graduation, he moved to Durham and was hired by North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, where he worked for 41 years. Bryant also served as a scout master for over 37 years, during which time he guided over 400 boys in the principles and practice of scouting. Bryant has served as a trustee at White Rock Baptist Church, where he also, not surprisingly, serves as church historian. Bryant is a life-long NAACP member, and holds office with the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina. In accepting his Founders Award, the nonagenarian Bryant had these words for M&F Bank: "Keep up the good work. And I still have an account with you."Lem Long, Jr. is highly regarded as a businessman in the greater Charlotte area. He established his business, Long & Son Mortuary Services over 67 years ago, and today it is among the most successful and respected family-owned businesses in the region. Throughout his career, Long made it a practice to encourage young people to become established in their own careers, sometimes by providing jobs and often by assisting them with educational expenses. He helped M&F Bank generate business when the institution expanded to Charlotte in the early 1960s, and has supported them from that time on, serving on their City Advisory Board for Charlotte since its inception. Long later served as a member of the Bank's Board of Directors from 1982 until 1995; following his retirement from the Board, he served as Director Emeritus until 2009. Accepting on Long's behalf, his nephew, Brad Johnson said his uncle was "humbled, honored, and proud of his long association" with M&F Bank.
Baltimore Ravens defensive end Chris Canty received recognition not for his athletic ability, but instead received his Founders Award for his accomplishments off the football field. Canty puts into practice his philosophy of "planting good seeds in good soil" through the work of the Chris Canty Foundation, which is dedicated to enhancing the total development of youth, using the platform of sports to effect positive change. The Foundation's core principles are Hope, Service, Respect, Justice and Compassion, and their ultimate goal is "to mold and develop well-rounded, character-driven individuals possessing the mental, physical, and emotional strength to win in the game of life as well as promote local and global change through community service." To date, the Foundation's programs have served over 5,000 young people. Canty, in accepting the Founders Award, thanked M&F "on behalf of the Foundation, our employees and the army of volunteers who help make what we do possible. I want to let you know that we will continue to make a positive impact in the lives of young people in North Carolina and New York."
The evening's final award recipient was Claude Z. Demby, president and CEO of Noël Group, a privately held management group that manages niche manufacturing firms, and employs people in locations across the U.S., China and Europe. Since becoming CEO in 2008, Demby orchestrated the company's 180-degree turnaround from being severely in debt to being debt-free and poised for continued profitable growth. Demby serves as the Chairman of the Board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, is on the Board of Advisors for Duke-Raleigh Hospital, and is the Chair-elect for the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, where he will become that organization's first-ever African American chair. Along with his wife, Donna, Demby co-founded the Valour Academy, a private school in Raleigh. While at the podium, Demby related the story of being on vacation and pondering the things that were important to him; he decided at that time, to leave his job and to dedicate himself to economic development of communities. For Demby, that meant investing in and working with companies that would employ people in their local markets, and to start a school that would enfranchise young men from a population whose aggregate graduation from local public schools rate is less than 50%. Summing up why he is passionate about what he does, Demby said "I don't know what tomorrow will hold, but I know that tomorrow is up to each and every one of us."
Interim M&F Bank president, James Sansom, said "It is gratifying to see our Founding Principles reflected in the lives and body of work of such an impressive group. It bolsters pride in the heritage of M&F, and is a source of inspiration and hope for future generations."

So, on the eve of the opening match: controversy.
Florent Malouda is ineligible to compete for French Guiana, according to CONCACAF, as he has previously played for France. CONCACAF apparently runs its Gold Cup under FIFA rules, so even if their teams are not part of FIFA, they still have to abide by the change of nationality rules.
However, Jocelyn Angloma was allowed to play for Guadeloupe in the 2007 Gold Cup under similar circumstances...

Optical Elements with Subwavelength Structured Surfaces

Various optical elements with subwavelength structured surfaces have been developed. The periods of the subwavelength structures are too short to generate diffracted light waves. But the structures are equivalent to refractive index materials with form birefringence. Many new optical elements are realized using the artificial refractive indices of these subwavelength structures. Some typical elements are described here in the passive element regime, and fabrication methods of the elements are explained.
