In the days before Michel Platini and Zinedine Zidane, the darling of French football fans everywhere was Raymond Kopa. Small in stature (1.68m) but massively gifted, the prolific playmaker with a knack for beating defenders helped take Reims to the summit of the French game before tasting European success with Real Madrid in 1957, '58, and '59.
Player of the tournament at the 1958 FIFA World Cup Sweden™, despite the thrilling emergence of a certain Pele, Kopa shone alongside team-mate Just Fontaine and also won that year's Ballon d'Or. The legendary former player spoke to FIFA.com about his glorious career, from his early days at Angers to his time with Reims and Madrid, and shared his thoughts on the game today.
FIFA.com: Raymond, could you start by telling us what you are up to nowadays?
Raymond Kopa: Everything's going well. At the moment, I'm spending my retirement back and forth between Corsica and Angers. I'm a happy man. All that matters these days, given my age, is staying healthy – and everything's fine on that front, both for myself and those around me.
Do you still have a passion for football?
Naturally I keep a very close eye on football news, though I must admit that I've always preferred to follow my passion by playing rather than watching. Still, that doesn't prevent me from being the honorary President of Stade de Reims. They're my club in France.
Your name is indelibly linked with Reims, of course. What has it been like seeing the club back in Ligue 1 after a 33-year absence?
It's given pleasure to a lot of people – not just me but our many supporters as well. Of course, I was there to celebrate the promotion. We started the season well and were even fifth at one point, and everything was going well. Then we lost five out of seven matches and quickly found ourselves in trouble.
In your own heyday, Reims were a real powerhouse of the game. You won several French titles with the club and played in a European Cup final, but what is your most cherished memory of those years?
It's still my arrival at the club – being discovered by them at a time when I'd been playing for two years with SCO Angers in Ligue 2. Reims offered me the opportunity to play at the highest level for a good ten years. They were an exceptional club and provided more players to the France team than any other side.
After Reims, you played for Real Madrid. What was the background to your transfer?
Transfers like that were rare at the time. I was sold at a very high price – 52m francs. I don't really know how much that would be today, but at the time it was the equivalent of three houses. Either way, Reims benefited from that money: they strengthened even more by buying three internationals in Just Fontaine, Roger Piantoni and Jean Vincent. So I managed to be of some use! I say that because there were people who criticised me, saying that I'd abandoned Reims. I loved Reims, though, and at the time they were the second greatest club in Europe. Real were the only team ahead of them, so my decision to leave was logical. And it was the right one too, because I spent three wonderful years in Madrid.
You joined the likes of Ferenc Puskas, Alfredo Di Stefano and Francisco Gento. Which player impressed you most?
My idol has always been Ferenc Puskas. I found out about him very early on, while I was at Reims. When we finished as champions for the first time in 1953, the club's officials gave us a trip to London to watch the match between England and Hungary. It was our reward for having won the league and that's when I discovered Puskas. He found things tough when he first arrived in Madrid. He needed to settle in, of course, but the Spanish journalists were impatient and quickly started to criticise him. I used to say, 'Just wait, talent doesn't disappear overnight.' Everyone knows what happened after that. He was the top scorer in Spain. Every goalkeeper began to tremble whenever he got within 35 metres of goal. He didn't just have a superb shot, he could also strike the ball with incredible precision. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten Di Stefano either. In fact, he's the one people still talk about the most over there.
My Real team were at least as good as this Barça side. We were, quite frankly, unbeatable at the time.
You won the Ballon d'Or in 1958, three European Cups, two Spanish titles and several trophies in France. Which honour means the most to you now?
To win the Ballon d'Or was a real high point. It's the trophy that's dearest to me because it capped a year filled with other trophies. I never would have received that magnificent honour without my Spanish title win, the European Cup and my third place at the World Cup. 1958 was my year.
As a former Madrid player, do you still follow Spanish football?
Of course. I'll be particularly interested to see who wins the FIFA Ballon d'Or because it's between three La Liga players. I think [Lionel] Messi will win it, but you mustn't forget that he doesn't do what he does alone. To play well, you need quality players around you. That was true for me and it's also true for Messi.
The similarities between yourself and Messi do not end there either. Like you, he is not especially tall, but his dribbling skills and eye for goal often make the difference.
Yes, there are similarities. We're exactly the same height, and my strong points were dribbling, speed and precision. It's an honour to be compared to him. Some people also say that the Barcelona team of today are a little like the Reims team of old, but I can tell you that my Real team were at least as good as this Barça side. I only lost one match in three years with Madrid. Yes, it was the worst possible one to lose because it was a 1-0 loss to Atletico, but we were, quite frankly, unbeatable at the time.
What are your thoughts on the rivalry between Madrid and Barcelona?
Real are still a notch above! I think that Barça must wait a few years yet before they can match Real's list of honours. I have to admit that the Catalans play the better football at the moment, but that didn't stop us having a magnificent season last year. Things don't look great for us right now, though – 16 points between the teams is a lot.
Given that you refer to them as 'us', you seem to still be a Madrid player at heart.
Absolutely. I still love going to Madrid. I get on the plane as soon as I receive an invite. I always feel that the people there are happy to see me.
What do you think of the current France side?
For me, the most important thing is how you carry yourself. What's happened in the France ranks in recent years has been unacceptable, and I've been the first to criticise it. But France still have players who are capable of great things on a pitch, as they've proved recently. I hope with all my heart that that continues.
Over the years, France have been lucky enough to have yourself, Michel Platini and then Zinedine Zidane pulling the strings. Who do you see filling that role next?
I couldn't have done what Platini or Zidane did on a pitch, but then again they couldn't have done what Kopa did. Either way, I was a big admirer of those players. For me, the next in line hasn't been born yet.

The Four Corners Rifle and Pistol Club junior shooters hit their marks this year.
Cortez had three shooters place in the Montrose Small Bore Rifle tournament on Feb. 4-5. In the junior class (age 17-19), Ashley Lingo took match winner and also high woman, with a distinguished 500-41X out of a possible 500-50X, an astonishing once in a lifetime score. Jason Doyel banged out an impressive 489-26X, which gave him fourth-place. Elijah Winkles shot a fantastic 476-19X in the intermediate-junior class (14-16), but it was not quite enough to place out of the 18 shooters. In the largest class, sub-junior (10-13) with 22 shooters, Kayleen Bowie placed second with a remarkable 470-9X. Dani Olson and Kate Treinen both shot brilliantly with scores of 437-7X and 436-7X. Other Cortez shooters with excellent match results in the sub-junior class were Cody McKinney (353-2X), Chance Chaffin (353-1X) and Taylor Willbanks (332-2X). In the Tyro Class (9U), Tia Imel was met by a formidable opponent, a strong 402-7X slid her into second-place. In the team shoot, Cortez placed fourth, but there was only five points between first and fourth. As always, Montrose hosted an outstanding tournament.
The Four Corners Rifle and Pistol Club Junior Shooters hosted the annual Elzey Garland Memorial Jr. Shooting Competition March 3-4. A total of 54 shooters from three clubs participated. The Grand Valley Marksman from Grand Junction, the Montrose Rod and Gun Club and 23 competitors from the Cortez Junior Shooters. The participants in the competition are taught to shoot in four positions; prone, sitting, kneeling and standing. Although it takes a long time to master these positions, competitors only shoot in the positions they are most comfortable using. There were no age groups set in this match and they were divided into four categories. Category 1 shoots four prone targets. Category 2 shoots two prone targets and two sitting targets. Category 3 shoots one prone, one sitting and two kneeling targets. Category 4 shoots one prone, one kneeling, one sitting and one offhand standing target. There are 400 possible points in each category.
Category 4 had 14 competitors and four of those competitors were from the Cortez team. Lingo again took match winner and high woman with her superior score of 389-11X. Doyle was out of trophy consideration, but scored a 345-12X, Bowie was close behind with a 344-6X and Cole Crawford scored a 311-2X.
Category 3 had eight competitors and Cortez shooters won first and third in this category. Winkles took first-place with an impressive 352-8X and Imel was third with a notable score of 340-7X. Aarron Butler scored a 218-2X.
Category 2 had 12 shooters, which proved to be a tough group of competitors. Cortez did not place as a squad. The top three shooters from Cortez were Treinen with a 342-1X, which placed her in sixth. Chase Fury was close behind with a 338-1X and Bailey Duran with a 300-2X.

Willbanks also received the most improved award for the four position competitions, improving her score of 261-2X in the Elzey Garland Memorial Jr. Shooting Competition. Willbanks shot an inspiring 306-3X in the Montrose Rod and Gun Club tournament.
The Cortez Junior Shooters wrapped up their season with the Grand Valley Marksmen Western Slope Invitational. It was junior smallbore rifle prone and team matches in Grand Junction on April 14-15.
The divisions were broken into four categories at junior (17-19), intermediate junior (14-16), sub-junior (10-13), tyro (9U) and team competition, where each member of the team shoots a different position.
In junior, Lingo finished out her shooting career with an extraordinary 497-37X, which earned her the first-place trophy and high woman. She will be greatly missed by the Junior Shooters next season.
For intermediate, Winkles turned in a magnificent score of 485-21X that placed him just out of trophies.
In sub-junior, Cortez had a great turn out with seven shooters and Bowie had a brilliant performance to bring home the first-place trophy and a score of 491-31X. Caisey Duran placed third with an outstanding score of 474-20X. Other sub-junior shooters were Chaffin, McKinney, Bailey Duran, Willbanks and Skinner.
In tyro, Imel blew away the competition with a first-place win and a skillful score of 461-7X. Torey Duran received the third-place trophy with a score of 188-1X.
For the team shoot, Cortez received the award for highest out-of-town score. Team members include, Caisey Duran, Bowie, Winkles and Lingo.
Chaffin achieved the most improved award for the prone competitions. He improved his score of 353-1X in February at the Montrose Small Bore Rifle tournament to an amazing 457-10X in the Grand Valley Marksmen Western Slope Invitational.
The Junior Shooters are instructed by Cody Lingo, Travis Imel and Tim Hunter. The Junior Shooters had a very successful season.
The 2012-13 campaign will begin in the fall.

The City of Markham is committed to meeting the challenges of managing growth, containing urban sprawl and building an attractive downtown core with the active involvement of the local community.
Throughout the 1990s, the City held numerous public meetings and workshops to share and discuss the proposed plans for the Markham Centre lands. This work culminated in the adoption of the Markham Centre Secondary Plan in 1994 and Ontario Municipal Board approval of the Official Plan Amendment 21 in 1997.
Today, Markham continues to consult with our citizens as we take the first significant steps with the individual landowners to implement the downtown vision.
The City of Markham and the Markham Centre Advisory Group hosted five public workshops during the summer and early fall of 2002 to get more specific input from residents and business representatives regarding their priorities for Markham Centre. Participants helped to develop the best practice benchmarks with which to guide and monitor all future development applications in the downtown.
The information gathered in these workshops culminated in the Markham Centre Public Conference and Open House on September 28, 2002.
The Public Conference featured award-winning scientist, environmentalist and broadcaster David Suzuki speaking on "Sustainability: The Sacred Balance." Dr. Suzuki talked about Smart Growthand the leading edge practices Markham is employing in Markham Centre. Visit the Sustainable Development Research Initiative website for even more information. Also speaking was MP York West Judy Sgro, Chair of the Prime Minister's Caucus Task Force on Urban Issues.
The following links provide access to the minutes of the five previously held public workshops as well as the Breakout Group Results from the Sept. 28, 2002 Open House for each of them:
For your further reference, we invite you to review the speaking notes from the conference and look at our photo album and conference statistics.
As an outcome of the conference, the Advisory Group agreed to work with City staff to ensure that implementation plans for Markham Centre adhere to the 11 Guiding Principles that were developed through citizen involvement and their expressed priorities and concerns.
An exciting opportunity to participate in shaping Markham was held on Saturday, April 3, 2004.

Mass Readings: Exodus 32:7–14/John 5:31–47
Have you given up something for Lent? We're much more than halfway through the season, so unlimited amounts of chocolate are in your near future (as long as you avoid the sin of gluttony). For many years now, I've given up cream and sugar in my coffee for Lent. I've never liked black coffee, but give up the additives so I can continue to feed my caffeine addiction and suffer at the same time. (Strange Catholic reasoning, I admit.) The taste of black coffee is for me the taste of Lent.
But Sundays are different. Then we celebrate the Resurrection, even in the midst of Lent. The Crucifixion leads to, is even necessary for, the Resurrection. So next Sunday, enjoy a piece of chocolate, as I will enjoy doctored coffee, to anticipate the Easter joy.
Prayer: In the midst of Lent, Christ Jesus, let us also rejoice in Your Resurrection.

HIRAM, Ohio – Allegheny became the 35th team in the history of NCAA Division III to surpass 500 victories after closing the 2012 campaign with a 13-0 win at Hiram on Saturday. The Gators forced a season-high four turnovers while running back Tim Werley manufactured the team's top individual effort in six years, as Allegheny reached the historic milestone with a definitive performance.
The Gators, who have earned top-10 national rankings in eight seasons since winning the NCAA Championship in 1990, have an outstanding tradition of excellence on the gridiron that includes 67 All-Americans and nine North Coast Athletic Conference titles. Since 1986, the Gators have finished the last 27 years at or above .500 in every season but one.
Allegheny delivered an outstanding all-around effort in securing its first shutout since Oct. 9, 2010. Defensively, the team was tremendous. The Gators held the Terriers to just 110 yards of total offense, including 29 yards rushing on 17 carries. The totals marked the team's best statistical performance since the 2009 season. In addition, Allegheny's smothering defensive corps had two interceptions while recovering a pair of fumbles.
From the offensive's perspective, the day belonged to senior Tim Werley. Emerging as the team's primary ball carrier after a rash of injuries decimated the gators' depth chart, Werley was outstanding in the last two games of the season. Against Hiram, Werley totaled a career high 130 yards on 32 carries while adding 58 yards receiving on four grabs. Finishing with 188 all-purpose yards while authoring 14 first downs, Werley's rushing total marked the best single-game performance by an Allegheny player since Mario Tarquinio dashed Ohio Wesleyan for 160 yards during the 2006 campaign.
While Werley's second consecutive 100-yard day fueled the offense, the Gators received a nice boot from rookie quarterback Kyle Smith, who added 53 yards to the team's ground total. Allegheny closed the afternoon with 178 yards rushing, its highest total of the year, while amassing over 40 minutes of possession for the first time in three years.
Kicking field goals of 21 and 37 yards, Ryan Mong accounted for all of the scoring through the first two quarters. The defense forced Hiram to punt on five of its six first-half possessions, while senior defensive end John Douglas was credited with his first career interception to thwart Hiram's second drive of the day.
After a quiet third quarter, Allegheny extended its lead early in the fourth behind a 12-play, 70-yard drive. Werley shouldered the load during the lengthy assault, while rookie fullback Anthony Opet capped the drive with a two-yard touchdown rush.
On Hiram's ensuing possession, Raysean Glenn picked off Hiram's Zach Bailey on the first play of the series. Taking over the ball with just under six minutes left, Allegheny ran 10 plays to run out the clock.
Playing in his final collegiate game, Rudy DeStefano had a team-high six tackles as well as a fumble recovery. Fellow senior Bill Devlin, who has ranked among the NCAC's leaders in tackles all season, also recovered a fumble while adding five tackles.

UN reports refugees from Congo war swelling
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A new U.N. report says the number of refugees fleeing the war in Congo swelled by more than 350,000 in just the past few months as fighting escalated, pushing the number of people uprooted in the long-running conflict to 3 million.
The Congo conflict is a spillover from the 1994 genocide in neighboring Rwanda. Hundreds of Hutus who participated in the mass slaughter escaped into Congo and still fight there. Fighting has continued over two decades.
The report to the Security Council released Monday said that as of the end of August, about 440,000 Congolese had become refugees in neighboring Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda. A report three months ago put that number at 70,000.
An estimated 2.6 million Congolese have been driven from their homes but remain inside the country.

LG and Samsung Showcased Their Latest Display Technologies At SID 2014
Samsung is pushing small-sized OLED panels, while it is heavily investing on ultra high-definition LCD panels. In contrast, LG Display is pushing a "dual-strategy" by pursuing both UHD and OLED panels for televisions.
LG Display exhibited the IPS technology-based 65 and 105" UHD curved LCD TVs, which offer wide viewing angles without causing color changes, together with 55, 65 and 77" UHD curved OLED TVs.
LG's 55-inch full high-definition OLED TV was introduced last year and uses patented W-RGB OLED technology with an oxide TFT backplane, the firm's technical solution of choice for large-sized OLED panels.
In addition, this company showcased a QHD resolution 5.5" mobile display, which providing QHD (2560x1440) resolution at 538ppi (pixel per inch).
LG Display also released the world's largest 98" UHD electronic board. With high brightness and resolution more than eight times that of a HD level projector type electronic board, this electronic board can be used in video education even during the day without light control.
In addition, LG Display showcased a number of next-generation commercial display products, such as a 47" transparent display, a video art wall comprised of four 55" inch panels with 3.5mm bezel piled up vertically and a high brightness 47" display with a function to prevent fogging effect in order to offer clear and bright picture quality even outdoors.
Samsung Display showcased curved displays of various sizes, such as a 105" UHD (5120x2160) curved TV with 4200R, the largest radius of curvature (the degree of bending of a circle that has a radius of 4200mm), a 65" UHD (3840x2160) curved TV and a large-screen curved monitor.
Samsung Display also exhibited 1.84" and 5.69" flexible displays adopted first by wearable devices and smart phones. In addition, it showcased mobile OLEDs in various sizes ranging from 1.63" to 5.69" and the eco-friendly and power-saving 'Green LCD.'
Samsung Display said that its 5.68-inch curved super AMOLED display panel was nominated as "Gold Award Winner" at the exhibition. The panel was selected for Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Round smartphone which was commercialized last year.
Samsung says that the curved screen is more readable thanks to a significant reduction in light reflectance. It is expected to later evolve into bendable and foldable displays that will further revolutionize the use of smartphones and other mobile-product form factors.
The 400R curvature of Samsung's full HD curved, super AMOLED display is the key to a series of optical effects that have resulted in reducing interference from reflected ambient light. It improves screen readability, image contrast, color accuracy and overall picture quality, and can also increase the battery run time because the screen brightness and power consumption level can be lowered, due to reduced light interference from ambient reflections.
The Samsung curved Super AMOLED display is a flexible display that can be bended by evaporating organic light-emitting diodes on a polyimide substrate made of a very thin plastic material. It has a 0.28mm thickness, remarkable color reproduction and an unlimited contrast ratio.

The research of Cristina C. Almansa Menchero, Ph.D., focuses on the functional gastrointestinal disorders, a group of diseases without a clearly recognized biochemical or structural cause that affect all segments of the gastrointestinal tract.
Dr. Almansa and her colleagues have been working in the association of these with fibromyalgia and psychological distress. They are assessing potential mechanisms of chronic cough and investigating which is the role of acid reflux and whether there is also a relationship with functional gastrointestinal disorders and psychological distress.
Understanding the overlap and potential relationship between functional gastrointestinal disorders and other extraintestinal conditions of uncertain origin, such as fibromyalgia, might help to improve their current management.
It may also enable clinicians to offer a more personalized and integrative approach to people who experience symptoms related to different organs and systems, and it may eventually lead to new therapies that target the pathophysiology of these conditions.

Steven W. Shirley Named President of VCSU
BISMARCK, N.D. - The State Board of Higher Education today named Steven W. Shirley, Ph.D., president of Valley City State University in Valley City, N.D.
Shirley is vice president and dean of student affairs at Dakota State University, Madison, S.D. He is responsible for undergraduate admissions and oversees the university relations department. He is a former business faculty member and director of study abroad at the University of Minnesota, Crookston.
"Members of the State Board of Higher Education were very impressed by Dr. Shirley's passion for and understanding of Valley City State University. His leadership and teambuilding skills will be strong assets to this university," said John Q. Paulsen, SBHE president. "The Valley City State University presidential search committee brought a tremendous amount of energy and commitment to this process, and they forwarded two highly qualified finalists for this position. In the final analysis, however, Steven Shirley's professional experience more closely parallels the expectations of the VCSU presidency."
"Dr. Shirley has a strong understanding of what's important to students," said Bill Goetz, chancellor of the North Dakota University System. "His background clearly demonstrates that he is someone who can drive the growth of this university."
Shirley holds a doctorate in teaching and learning: higher education, a master's degree in marketing and global business, and a bachelor's degree in marketing and management, all from the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, N.D. He also is a graduate of the Institute for Educational Management at the Harvard Graduate School of Education Program in Professional Education, Cambridge, Mass.
Shirley will become president of VCSU July 1, 2008. He will succeed Dr. Ellen Chaffee who announced her upcoming retirement in Sept. 2007 after 15 years of distinguished service. He will be paid an annual salary of $155,000 and will have a three-year contract.

SALISBURY - The man Salisbury police say robbed a bank, shot two people and fired at police officers after a vehicle chase is not the evil person he's being portrayed as, family members said Friday.
The Salisbury Police Department says Paul Jones III, 25 - who had recently been living in Salisbury but has a previous address on Pinyan Pine Lane in Charlotte - went into the Wells Fargo bank on West Jake Alexander Boulevard about 5 p.m. Thursday.
Police said he shot 61-year-old Jose Santiago, then shot Larry Darnell Dalton, 45, before stealing his car. Police say Jones fired at officers after taking them on a high-speed chase and crashing the stolen car into another vehicle.
Police officers returned fire, striking Jones, who died at the scene.
Donna Sifford said Jones was her nephew. She described him as a sweet kid and not a drug addict or the criminal he's being described as.
Another family member, who asked not to be named, said Jones was loving and kind-hearted.
"Our fear is that he will be portrayed to be evil or as a criminal. This was not the case. Was he perfect? No. No one is," the relative said.
The woman said Jones comes from a loving, God-fearing family.
"Sadly, he suffered from a mental illness. The family has been trying for months to get him help, but due to how the laws are in North Carolina, he never exactly fit the criteria for an involuntary commitment," she said.
The relative said Jones never made threats to harm himself or others although his "behavior had become increasingly concerning over the past few months."
"We are heartbroken over the situation in its entirety. Yes, he committed a crime but he is also a victim. He is a victim of a broken mental health care system. The health care system that is currently in place failed him, and the end result is ultimately his life," she said.
She said the family is praying for everyone involved, including the community.
"We ask that people please don't be quick to judgment," she said.
Jones attended East Rowan High School and graduated from Independence High School in Charlotte, the relative said.
Police response
At a Friday news conference, Police Chief Jerry Stokes defended his officers handling of the chase.
"In my initial review of the information we have at this point, I am comfortable saying that all officers, including those who fired their weapons, acted with the utmost bravery and valor," Stokes said. "They clearly saved other people's lives yesterday. We don't know what led Mr. Jones to commit these evil acts, and we don't know what else he could have done had the officers not been able to locate him fleeing the area."
Police received a call about an armed robbery at the bank at 5:04 p.m. Thursday. While officers were en route, they learned that someone had been shot inside the bank. Stokes said Jose Santiago, 61, of Salisbury, was shot in the face and remains in critical condition at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. It's not clear what led Jones to shoot Santiago.
Stokes said it was reported that shots were fired at Brenner Avenue during a carjacking in which Larry Darnell Dalton Jr., 45, was thrown from his vehicle and shot in the head and arm. Dalton remains in stable condition, also at Wake Forest hospital. Dalton was the only person in the 2015 Acura that was stolen by Jones, police said.
"I would like to first say our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and family of the man shot at the bank yesterday, the victim and family of the man who was shot by the suspect during a related carjacking, and the family of the person the officers shot," Stokes said. "There are many other victims, including our community as a whole, that were impacted."
Stokes said an officer began to pursue the Acura in the area of Lincolnton Road and South Fulton Street. The chase returned to the area of Jake Alexander Boulevard, where the suspect crashed into two vehicles near the intersection of Jake Alexander Boulevard and Mooresville Road.
He said the State Highway Patrol investigated the crash and he did not have the name of the person whose car Jones struck. Stokes also said he did not know how fast Jones was driving or how long the chase took.
He said Jones fired a weapon at least once and that officers defending themselves fired on the vehicle. Officers had approached the vehicle to arrest Jones when they were fired on, Stokes said.
Three officers discharged their firearms:
? Sgt. Michael Colvin, who is assigned as the supervisor of the narcotics detectives. Colvin has been with the Salisbury Police Department for 21 years.
? Officer Jay Basinger is a patrol officer and has been with the department for two and a half years.
? Officer Joseph Martinez is a K-9 officer assigned to patrol operations and has been with the department for four and a half years.
Stokes said a number of officers were wearing body cameras at the time of the shooting and he has reviewed the footage. He said it shows multiple viewpoints of the shooting.
The chief said Jones fired at least one shot at Officer Basinger and the officer returned fire and sought cover. Both Sgt. Colvin and Officer Martinez then engaged the suspect, who had not yet dropped the firearm, and fired at him, Stokes said.
Stokes confirmed that all of the officers fired more than one shot, but he didn't know which officer may have struck Jones.
The officers removed Jones from the car and began to administer first aid. Jones was conscious for a time, Stokes said. A Rowan EMS crew arrived and took over efforts to save Jones, Stokes said.
No officer was injured in the exchange of gunfire.
Stokes said the SBI will conduct an investigation of the shooting by the officers. It will present the findings to the Rowan County District Attorney's Office, which will determine if the officers' actions were lawful.
"Once that investigation is complete, we will review the matter internally to ensure all policy and procedures were followed and if there are any lessons to learn," Stokes said.
As is common practice, the three officers who fired their weapons have been placed on limited duty, meaning they are not in an enforcement capacity while the investigation continues.
"I am saddened by the events of yesterday. No officer wants to take a life, and the violence has no doubt affected our community sense of safety," Stokes said.
He said supervisors working Thursday, Lt. Andy Efird and Sgt. Brandon Casper, are to be commended for how they took control of a very active and dangerous incident that spanned three scenes.
The chief said Efird maintained control and command of the pursuit and, while there were many officers surrounding the car after it stopped, the shots were controlled and not excessive given the threat. Casper effectively directed the response and enabled the officers to locate the suspect as he fled, Stokes said.
"I cannot express how proud I am of the bravery and valor shown by Sgt. Colvin, Officer Basinger and Officer Martinez. They faced a clear threat from an armed person intent on doing evil and did their duty," he said.
The FBI is investigating the bank robbery.
Betsy Cauble was sitting at the traffic light at the intersection preparing to turn when the Acura swerved to miss hitting her car. She believes the driver tried to correct himself but still hit a vehicle in front of her.
"He came out of nowhere and swerved to miss me. When he tried to correct, he started going sideways," Cauble said.
"He crashed into that car, and immediately police were right in front of us," she said.
Cauble said police officers surrounded the car and were "all around me, and there was nowhere for me to get out. I couldn't move or leave."
"Police were there, and shots were exchanged. They broke out the window and pulled him out of the car," she said.
Cauble described an ordeal that took minutes but felt longer to her.
"I was shaken up. I literally tried to hunker down. I've never been around gunfire. It was quite scary," Cauble said.
She was stopped near McDonald's restaurant waiting to turn when an officer sped through the intersection of Mooresville Road. The car in front of Cauble drove through the intersection and, when she saw another police car, she drove through the intersection to get out of the patrol car's way.
Cauble learned of the bank robbery, shooting and chase only after her husband and son told her. Cauble said she was so scared and still in shock that afterward when police asked her to give a statement, she never thought to ask about what led to the chase.
She called her husband and son to drive her home.
"I was just in shock. I sat there with the engine running for a long time," she said.
Cauble said she feels the officers handled the situation in a professional manner.
Rodney Fortner, who witnessed the shooting, described the "horrifying" events as he sat in his vehicle stuck in traffic beside the getaway car.
Fortner was on the phone with his wife with the intention of going to Taco Bell. He saw multiple police cars descend on the area.
While talking with his wife, Fortner said he saw three or four police cars headed toward Wells Fargo and then saw another four cars near Katana restaurant. He knew at that point that something big was going on, but he wasn't sure what.
He then saw the vehicle Jones was driving slam into another car. Fortner's vehicle was trapped between the stolen vehicle and a tractor-trailer.
"His car stopped right beside mine. I said to my wife, 'I think I'm about to be in a car accident,'" Fortner said.
He said he saw police immediately surround the vehicle. An officer tapped on the window and Fortner said he heard a "pop, pop."
Fortner said he saw the airbags in the Acura deploy, obstructing his view of the driver. But he said he clearly heard what he knew as gunfire. He saw the officers step back and then step forward to return fire at the car.
The whole time, his wife was screaming hysterically on the phone, and Fortner said he was trying to get out of harm's way. He was blocked in by traffic but was eventually able to move and drove home.
"It was horrifying. There were shots that came from the car before they shot," he said of police officers.
"I never even saw the person who was in the car. I didn't see anything in the car," he said.

Scott Bakula may be following in the footsteps of past Star Trek captains William Shatner and Patrick Stewart, but as far as the star date on the captain's log, he's way ahead of both Kirk and Picard.
In a preview of the new fall show Enterprise (which dispenses with the Star Trek name in the title altogether), Bakula tells Entertainment Tonight, "I am the first captain of the first starship to go out into space. This is 150 years from today. This is 2151, 100 years before Kirk and Spock. So we are the first. We've just figured out how to use the propulsion system and we are going out in warp speed for the first time."
Learning How to Beam Up Scottie
The former star of the sci-fi series Quantum Leap says that Trekkies, excuse us, Trekkers, will "get a kick [out] of" the new show, especially when certain technologies are still in the developmental stage. "I think [seeing these things used for the first time] will be fun, not only for the people who know the show really well, but also for newcomers," says the 46-year-old actor.
However, Bakula balked at discussing whether anyone will be "beaming up" yet. "Oh, no, I can't tell you about the beaming thing. There will be surprises," he promises.
Although the show is set before the original, low-budget 1960s series, with its foam-and-cardboard sets, it will be a challenge to make the ship look less advanced than the creaky crate Kirk commanded, acknowledges Bakula, who says that they ended up with a "submarine type of feel" to the new set.
As for the costumes, which have changed with each new Star Trek series, Bakula says his new spacesuit is the envy of one Next Generation star. "They're kind of jumpsuit-y, but with pockets. Jonathan Frakes came by and was almost in tears [when he saw them]: 'We would've killed to have pockets! And a zipper?' We have those things, so we're feeling pretty cozy in them, but they're not leotards, which is great."

Patrick Regan
has kindly shared the material
from his Robert Buchanan site with readers of the
As thro' the Town of Vanity I trod,
I heard one calling in the name of God,
And turning I beheld a wan-eyed wight,
Clad in a garment that had once been bright,
Who, while a few pale children gathered round,
Did plant his faded Peepshow on the ground.
Trembling the children peep'd; and lingering nigh,
E'en thus I heard the ragged Showman cry: —
Now first your eye will here descry
How all the world begun:
The earth green-dight, the ocean bright,
The moon, the stars, the sun.
All yet is dark; but you will mark,
While round this sphere is spun,
A Hand so bare moves here and there,
Whence rays of ruby run.
I pull a string, and everything
Is finish'd bright and new,
Tho' dim as dream all yet doth seem;
And this, God wot, is true.
Now this, you see, is Eden Tree,
In Eden's soil set deep;
Beneath it lies with closÎd eyes
Strong Adam, fast asleep.
All round, the scene is gold and green,
And silver rivers creep;
Him on the grass the wild beasts pass,
As mild and tame as sheep.
My bell I ring; I pull a string;
And on the self-same spot,
From Adam's side God takes his Bride;
And this is true, God wot.
There still doth shine the Tree Divine,
Flush'd with a purple flame,
And hand in hand our parents stand,
Naked, but have no shame.
Now Adam goes to take repose
While musing sits his Dame;
When, over her, the blest boughs stir,
To show how Satan came.
A Snake so bright, with horns of light,
Green leaves he rustles thro',
Fair Eve descries with wondering eyes;
And this, God wot, is true.
Now pray perceive, how over Eve
The fruits forbidden grow.
With hissing sound the Snake twines round,
His eyes like rubies glow.
'Fair Eve,' he says (in those old days
Snakes spoke) and louteth low,
'This fruit you see upon the Tree
Shall make you see and know. . . .'
My bell I ring; I pull a string;
And on the self-same spot
Fair Eve doth eat the Fruit so sweet;
And this is true, God wot.
A Child.
Please, why did He who made the Tree,
Our Father in the sky,
Let it grow there, so sweet and fair,
To tempt our Parents' eye?
My pretty dear, it is most clear
He wish'd their strength to try;
And therefore sent, with wise intent,
The Serpent swift and sly.
I pull a string, and there (poor thing!)
Stands Adam eating too!
And now, you mark, all groweth dark;
And this, God wot, is true.
Now, you discern, a voice so stern
Cries 'Adam, where art thou?'
'Tis God the Lord, by all adored,
Walks there; and all things bow.
But with his Bride doth Adam hide
His guilty, burning brow;
And of fig-leaves each sinner weaves
A guilty apron now.
My bell I ring; I pull a string;
And from that pleasant spot
A Sword of Flame drives man and dame;
And this is true, God wot.
Now wipe the glass. And we will pass
To quite another scene:
In a strange land two Altars stand,
One red, the other green;
The one of blood right sweet and good,
The other weeds, I ween!
And there, full plain, stands frowning Cain,
And Abel spruce and clean.
I pull a string; and every thing
Grows dark and sad anew, —
There Abel lies with dying eyes!
And this, God wot, is true.
The wicked Cain has Abel slain
All with a burning brand;
And now, sad sight, an Angel bright
Doth mark him with his hand.
A Child.
What specks so red are those that spread
Behind them as they stand?
The sparks you see the wild eyes be,
Countless as grains of sand,
Of all those men who have, since then,
Shed blood in any land!
In grief and pain they look at Cain,
Aghast on that sad spot;
And all around blood soaks the ground;
And this is true, God wot.
My bell I ring; I pull a string:
Now, Father Noah you mark —
Sleeping he lies, with heavy eyes,
All full of wine, and stark.
But now, behold! that good man old
A Voice in dream doth hark;
And the Voice cries, 'O Noah, arise!
And build thyself an Ark.'
Again I ring; and pull a string;
And all is water blue,
Where, floating free, the Ark you see;
And this, God wot, is true.
Thus God the Lord, with his great Word,
Did bid the waters rise,
To drown and kill all things of ill
He made beneath the skies.
The Lord saved none, but Noah alone,
His kith and kin likewise;
Two of each beast, both great and least;
Two of each bird that flies.
My bell I ring; I pull a string;
And on the self-same spot,
The water sinks, the bright Bow blinks;
And this is true, God wot.
O day and night, unto your sight
Such wonders shown might be,
But to conclude this Peepshow good,
You Heaven and Hell shall see:
The shining things, with spangled wings,
Who smile and sing so free;
The crew of shame, who in hell-flame
Complain eternallie!
My bell I ring; I pull a string;
And you them both may view —
The blest on high, the curst who cry: —
And this, Got wot, is true.
A Child.
How can they bear, who sit up there
In shining robes so gay,
From Heaven to peer, without a tear,
On those who scream and pray?
Why, those who burn had, you must learn,
As fair a chance as they —
But Adam's fall doth doom them all
Upon God's judgment day.
I thus conclude with moral good,
Not soon to be forgot;
And you must own what I have shown
Is solemn sooth, Got wot.
A Litle Boy.
O look at him, that showman grim,
A frown is on his cheek;
Come away quick, for I am sick
Whene'er I hear him speak!
A Girl.
Along this way, last Holy Day,
In blessÎd Whitsun' week,
There passed a wight, so sweet and bright
He seemed an Angel meek:
He bare, also, an old Peep-show,
But prettier far to view,
And loud cried He 'O look and see!
For all, God wot, is true!'
And did you peep? and did you weep
To see the pictures wild?
Ah nay, ah nay, I laughed, full gay,
I looked and laughed and smiled!
For I discern'd, with bright face turned
On mine, a little Child;
And round him, bright burn'd many a light,
And cakes and sweets were piled;
And scents most rare fill'd all the air
All round the heavenly spot,
While loud and wide that Showman cried —
'This is our Lord, God wot!'
First Child.
'Twas Jesus Child! so good and mild!
He grew on Mary's breast!
Sweet were his eyes, his look was wise,
And his red lips were blest;
I longed, I wis, those lips to kiss,
And by his side to rest.
This man's Peepshow is strange, I know,
But the other was the best!
Now let us go where daisies blow,
Sweet ferns, and speedwells blue,
And Posies make for Christ His sake,
For He is bright and true!
Showman (solus).
Folk, I'm afraid, are changed; my trade
Grows worse each day, I know.
How they did throng when I was young,
To see this very Show!
My rivals pass, and lad and lass
Follow where'er they go,
While up and down, from town to town,
I creep, most sad and slow.
I too must try some novel cry,
Lest I be quite forgot:
These pictures old that I unfold
Have ceased to please, God wot!
(From Miscellaneous Poems and Ballads, 1878-83.)

Is it OK to tweet during a business conference?
Should you stand up when shaking hands?
Do you get the boss a holiday gift this year?
These are all common etiquette questions that Anna Post, great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post, can answer correctly. For the rest of us, the answers often are not as clear, turning the most capable professional into someone who may be seen as a mannerless slob.
"Using poor etiquette can severely limit your opportunities," Post says. "To advance, you need to be able to build relationships. People don't want to work with people who are a pain to be around."
So that Metallica ringtone on your cellphone? It's gotta go. Any cellphone in the office should be on vibrate — and then not left to gyrate in a desk drawer for 10 minutes, she says.
Along the same lines, don't answer your cellphone when you're in the middle of conversation with another person unless it's an emergency call from home. For the record, Post says an emergency is a wife having a baby, not a child unable to find his tennis shoes. (And children should be instructed on what constitutes an emergency to cut down on such types of calls.)
"Giving someone our undivided attention is how we show our respect for others," she says. "When you divide your attention, then that person feels respect has been diminished."
Some other workplace etiquette dilemmas that Post, as a co-author of "Emily Post's Etiquette, 18th Edition," addresses include these:
1. Tweeting responsibly. If you're attending a conference where you're expected to tweet updates, the speaker usually understands that.
But if that's not the case, put your phone away and listen.
2. Getting the phone off the table. "It's not another utensil you need to eat a meal," she says. "If you put it on the table 'just in case,' then that means the potential is there for you to answer it. It's like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off."
3. Giving up texting. Again, if you're texting during a meeting or a conversation, you're showing disrespect to others.
4. Shaking hands. If someone offers a handshake, you should return it and make sure you're standing.
The only excuse not to shake hands is if you're sick. Then Post says she's not sure what you're doing at work in the first place because infecting other people is rude. Still, if you're feeling under the weather and somehow still find yourself offered a handshake, explain that it's nice to see the person, but you're not well.
5. Remembering you don't owe anyone a holiday gift. It can be seen a "currying favor" to give the boss a gift, and you don't owe a colleague a present even if he or she gives you one.
"And don't lie about it and say you have something for the person at home when you don't," Post says. "Just say thank you."
Gifts such as cologne or clothes should be returned to any officemate who gives them to you with an "I appreciate the gesture, but I feel this is inappropriate" response. She advises that any gift from the boss that crosses the line should be reported to human resources.
Another common holiday dilemma: fundraising, whether it's a colleague collecting for the local food bank or a co-worker helping a child sell cookie dough for school.
In those cases, Post says it's best to come up with a policy and stick to it or be prepared to go broke with an ever-growing number of fundraisers.
"You can choose to give on a first-come, first-serve basis to whoever hits you up first." she says. "Or, you have a set amount of maybe $5 that you give to each one. Or, you can simply say, 'No, thank you and good luck.' "

Usually people who want to correct someone on a practice first know and observe and teach what is the right practice. For instance, if you wanted to correct someone about a wrong kind of separation, you would first know and observe and teach a right kind of separation. People who never talk about separation to begin with shouldn't be the ones who are correcting anyone about wrong separation. You don't want the sequoia beam of no-separation in your eye, blinding you from the proper discernment about the toothpick of hyper-separationism.
If there is a hyper-separationism that is wrong, one would assume that there is a separationism that is right. The hyper-separation would be some kind of abuse of biblical separation, which really does exist. However, if you don't teach or practice separation, shouldn't you first be concerned about no-separationism? For instance, if we had someone who never brushed his teeth, he wouldn't have much room for criticizing the way someone else did brush his teeth. You've really got to do some teeth brushing to be enough of an expert to know what bad teeth brushing is.
Let's put the separationism doctrine or topic into the realm of dish washing. Someone may think that you hyper-wash your dishes. The critics are not washing their dishes, but that doesn't stop them from both thinking they know all about dish washing and then going ahead and criticizing actual dish washing. I've seen those in the real world. They wander into the kitchen where people are actually washing dishes. They haven't washed any, but they have lots of opinions about how dishes are supposed to be washed. And then let's say you've got a whole convention of non-dishwashers involved in rebuking the way others wash dishes. I could see how that people who don't like to wash dishes could enjoy the criticism of dishwashing.
You see, you don't have a whole, huge load of separatists out there. Separatists are really in the minority in the country and the world. It's not popular to be a separatist. So, when you are criticizing this major problem of hyper-separationism, it's hard to know who you are really directing that towards. Is there really some major movement toward hyper-separationism today? Separation of all kinds is becoming fast extinct because it's hard to do, kind of like love and mercy were hard for the Pharisees, so they stopped doing those. The criticism of types of separation seems to be on the side of getting rid of it all, especially from those who never, ever lay out a doctrine of separation in a positive way. The no-separationists would like to stand as the chief hyper-critics of how people practice separation. Typical, huh?
Toleration of everything is in the vast majority today. Mostly people want everyone to tolerate them. In their discernment conference, Todd Friel and Phil Johnson want to teach discernment by pointing out the errors of others. They don't think error should be tolerated. They think that their intolerance should be respected. It's their intolerance. It's got to be the good kind, since it's theirs. They want tolerance of their intolerance and tolerance, their perfect balance between the two. Not tolerating them, and then separating from them, would be hyper-separationism. Of course.
Usually separationists are doing a little more than pointing out error. Separationists are, of course, also separating over unrepentant error out of obedience to Scripture. Friel and Johnson never teach separation, however. They just teach against hyper-separation. Separation is in the Bible. They don't teach about that. They teach against hyper-separation, and never indicate what or where the warning is against that in the Bible.
And then we begin to consider this problem of hyper-separationism. It's a little like the concern over micro-chips in my cheerios or breathing in from the clouds of nanites that the government has released for purposes of brain control. All of that really could be a problem if it really were a problem. But is it? This is where the absurdity of their illustration comes in, and it shows that they need to spend some time breaking down what the Bible says about actual separation, before they move into abuses of it. There are abuses of separation. There are. But that really is not the major problem related to separation today. The major problem about separation is that people are not separating. They're tolerating too much. And then rather than separating, they're doing like Friel and Johnson say is best---make incessant speeches and hold conferences about the error.
Let's hit some of the problems with their presentation.
First, you don't separate from someone because you don't like them. That really is a ridiculous assertion. Friel and Johnson talk about that again and again, really misrepresenting the doctrine of separation with that claim. "You know, when someone separates from you, it's because they don't like you, so, um, don't be concerned about it." Separation is motivated by love, first love for God, and then love for the one from whom you are separating. That would have been a good thing to communicate by the two. That's how discernment really does work. You follow the Bible in decision making. Friel and Johnson represented separation as an act that was done because you didn't like someone. That bad misrepresentation will hurt the discernment of the audience to whom they are speaking.
The one who separates according to Scripture actually loves the person more whom he separates from than the person who won't separate. And truly the one who won't separate isn't loving at all. It's like a parent who will or will not spank his child. The non-spanking parent doesn't love the child more because he gives him incessant speeches about what he's doing wrong. I really do think that especially Johnson knows that, which, of course, makes their presentation a deceitful one. Johnson knows what Scripture says. He does. He's not ignorant. And for that reason, and I hate to say it, because I don't dislike Phil, but I believe he's lying about it. Again, he's not ignorant. Unfortunately, it's a type of lying that is pandering to an audience that doesn't want to separate, so they are eager to hear a tortured exaggeration of how it's practiced. They can pocket that built in excuse for disobeying the biblical teaching of separation. Todd and Phil gave them their own excuse for disobedience.
Second, when someone is unrepentant for an unbiblical practice, the biblical way of dealing with that is not what Johnson said: "you're never going to hear the end of it from me." That got a big laugh from the audience, and never ending speeches might sound like a tough thing to do, but it is not what the Bible teaches. You do talk to someone at the beginning of the process. Separation is the difficult thing to do. If someone won't obey the Bible, you don't continue with speeches, attempting to persuade the person to no end. The speeches are supposed to come to an end when the unrepentant will not hear. Jesus didn't continue dealing with people who wouldn't hear. He said not to cast pearls before pigs. He would leave a town that didn't heed His message. And He removes His candlestick from the church which would not repent. Friel and Johnson hurt biblical discernment with their instruction.
Third, you do separate from someone who won't separate. Separation itself is a command. Not obeying the command to separate is a sin. Friel and Johnson attempt to evade this simple point with the absurd. "If you don't like McGillicuddy and Franzen won't separate from him, then you separate from Franzen, and if Johanson won't separate from Franzen who won't separate from McGillicuddy, then you separate from Johanson, etc." And what's the point of all of this? Not to separate. It's to encourage more speech-making and discourage separating. But separating is what Scripture teaches. Friel and Johnson never make that point. This is a con job. It's a red herring. It's a smokescreen. It's a straw man. Yes. All of those.
You like McGillicuddy. He's disobeyed the Bible and won't repent. You like him so much that you separate from him. Franzen keeps fellowshiping with a disobedient brother. If he won't practice separation, then he is indifferent to McGillicuddy's disobedience. He's now an accessory to his evil deed. What Friel calls hyper-separationism is what some have termed "secondary separation," a pejorative Friel and Johnson attempt to discredit by turning it into the absurd with third, fourth, fifth, and sixth degree separation. We should act in faith and obey the Bible. Separation should be practiced. Their hypothetical doesn't stand as an actual reason to disobey the teaching to separate. Reducing separation to this absurdity is a common fallacious argument against separation.
Separatists don't actually get down to "one." I have fellowship with a lot of men who believe as our church does and practices separation like our church does. It's probably not a big enough group for Friel and Johnson. It wouldn't probably suit their purposes. But even if we did get down to "one," it's not a good argument. You don't develop discernment by using pragmatism as a basis for what you do. "If you don't want to work yourself down to one person, then you better not practice separation." What biblical basis do we have for that mattering? We don't have one. It's discernment ruination coming at a discernment conference, so that a crowd can avoid some problem that they'll call "hyper-separationism." And this coming from no-separationists.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Senior quarterback Jordan Rasmussen threw four touchdown passes, including the game winner in the third quarter, to lead Pacific Lutheran to a season-opening 27-20 football win over the host Hamline Pipers on Saturday afternoon at Klas Field.
Rasmussen connected with Kyle Whitford on a 9-yard scoring strike with 8:01 remaining in the third quarter for what proved to be the winning touchdown. The score broke a 20-20 halftime tie, and from there the PLU defense managed to hold off several fourth quarter drives by the Pipers.
Trailing 27-20, Hamline drove 69 yards in 13 plays only to miss a 38-yard field goal. Later in the final quarter, the Pipers started a drive at their own 42-yard line. They marched down the field with Blake Cook carrying nine times, including seven in a row, and got to the 2-yard line where a fourth-down pass fell incomplete. The 15-play drive took 7:34 off the clock, but the Lutes got the ball and were able to run off the final nine second to secure the victory.
Rasmussen hooked up with Isaac Moog for the game's first score, converting a four-down play with a 27-yard scoring pass. Hamline tied it at 7-7 on a 2-yard run capping a 66-yard, 11-play drive, and then took the lead with a quick-strike 53-yad pass from Adam Meyer to Tim Queck following a blocked punt.
The Lutes sandwiched a pair of Rasmussen-to-Greg Ford scoring aerials around a pair of Hamline field goals. First, Rasmussen connected with Ford on a 35-yard touchdown, capping a 74-yard drive, to make the score 14-14 with 12:39 left. After John Broback knocked through 25- and 42-yard field goals for the Pipers, Ford caught a 56-yard touchdown pass from Rasmussen to make the score 20-20 at the intermission. The last scored came at the end of a four-play, 91-yard drive.
At the half, the Lutes had out-gained the Pipers, 280-238 in total yards. The second half, however, was much more of a defensive battle as the Lutes finished the game with 383 yards on 51 total plays compared to 365 yards on 88 plays for the hosts. Hamline dominated time of possession, nearly 38 minutes to just 22 for the Lutes.
Rasmussen finished 19-for-29 for 278 yards with the four touchdowns and one interception. Ford caught 10 balls for 152 yards and Moog added four receptions for 89 yards. Alec Simmons paced the running attack with 65 net yards on nine carries.
Defensively, linebacker Richard Isett finished with 13 tackles, followed by defensive lineman Mychael Tuiasosopo with 12, and safeties Sean McFadden and Jordan Davison with 11 and 10, respectively. Both Tuiasosopo and McFadden are freshmen. Trevor Fox and Davison both had interceptions for the Lutes.
Meyer was effective through the air for the Pipers, going 21-for-38 for 232 with one touchdown and the two picks. Alex House had seven receptions for 73 yards and Queck finished with six grabs for 99 yards. Rhmondo Rodriguez toted the football a total of 30 times for 94 net yards. Hamline had a total of 50 rushes for 133 net yards and an average of 2.7 yards per carry.
Pacific Lutheran returns to action at 12:30 p.m. next Saturday at Puyallup's Sparks Stadium when it hosts California Lutheran in the home opener.

Media July–September 2006
|News Release: July 20, 2006
|View Printable PDF Version
|Docket No. RM06-8-000
Long-term transmission rights guidelines finalized
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission today finalized guidelines for independent transmission organizations to follow in developing proposals to provide long-term firm transmission rights in organized electricity markets. These guidelines will increase long-term transmission price certainty in the organized electricity markets and allow for new investments and other long-term power supply arrangements, the Commission said.
Commission Chairman Joseph T. Kelliher observed: "Long-term firm transmission rights are an important issue, particularly to wholesale power customers who want to enter into long-term transmission service arrangements without being exposed to unhedged congestion cost risk. This final rule goes far to reduce the risk exposure to transmission customers. Long-term firm transmission rights are also important to development of the grid."
The final rule implements section 1233(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which requires the Commission to implement a new section 217(b)(4) of the Federal Power Act for transmission organizations with organized electricity markets. Congress directed the Commission to implement this provision within one year of the August 8, 2005, enactment of the Energy Policy Act.
The Commission noted that the guidelines adopted in the final rule "will give transmission organizations the flexibility to propose designs for long-term transmission rights that reflect regional preferences and accommodate their regional market designs." The Commission also said that long-term transmission rights "must be made available with terms that are sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of load-serving entities to support long-term power supply arrangements used to satisfy their service obligations."
The final rule requires independent transmission organizations such as Regional Transmission Organizations and Independent System Operators that oversee organized electricity markets to make long-term firm transmission rights available to all transmission customers. The availability of such rights will provide an added measure of certainty to load-serving entities that wish to enter into long-term power supply arrangements to serve their load, which in turn should allow load-serving entities to more readily obtain financing for new infrastructure.
Consistent with current practice, the guidelines also require that long-term firm transmission rights be available to entities that pay for upgrades or build expansions.
In its February 2006 notice of proposed rulemaking, the Commission sought comment on eight guidelines. The Commission adopted the following seven guidelines in the final rule approved today:
- The long-term firm transmission right should specify a source (injection node or nodes) and sink (withdrawal node or nodes), and a quantity;
- The long-term firm transmission right must provide a hedge against day-ahead locational marginal pricing congestion charges or other direct assignment of congestion costs for the period covered and quantity specified. Once allocated, the financial coverage provided by a financial long-term right should not be modified during its term (the "full funding" requirement) except in the case of extraordinary circumstances or through voluntary agreement of both the holder of the right and the transmission organization;
- Long-term firm transmission rights made feasible by transmission upgrades or expansions must be made available upon request to any party that pays for such upgrades or expansions in accordance with the transmission organization's prevailing cost allocation methods for upgrades or expansions;
- Long-term firm transmission rights must be made available with term lengths (and/or rights to renewal) that are sufficient to meet the needs of load serving entities to hedge long-term power supply arrangements made or planned to satisfy a service obligation. The length of term of renewals may be different from the original term. Transmission organizations may propose rules specifying the length of terms and use of renewal rights to provide long-term coverage, but must be able to offer firm coverage for at least a 10 year period;
- Load-serving entities must have priority over non-load serving entities in the allocation of long-term firm transmission rights that are supported by existing transmission capacity. The transmission organization may propose reasonable limits on the amount of existing transmission capacity used to support long-term firm transmission rights;
- A long-term transmission right held by a load-serving entity to support a service obligation should be re-assignable to another entity that acquires that service obligation; and
- The initial allocation of the long-term firm transmission rights shall not require recipients to participate in an auction.
Today's final rule, "Long-Term Firm Transmission Rights in Organized Markets," takes effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Transmission organizations subject to the rule are required to make compliance filings within 180 days of the final rule's publication in the Federal Register.

Checking in on the… WACPosted by nvr1983 on January 29th, 2009
Kevin McCarthy of Parsing the WAC and Sam Wasson of bleedcrimson.net are the RTC correspondents for the WAC.
Last week was a week of opportunities. Some took advantage while others did not. Boise State took their opportunities by the horns as they completed a home sweep to put themselves into third place. New Mexico State on the other hand did not falling twice on the road after having a chance to rise to third in the standings, instead of coming out of the week in fifth place. Idaho had an opportunity at redemption and took advantage by avenging an earlier loss to New Mexico State, a game that head coach Don Verlin felt they should have won. This week is another week of opportunities. Utah State has the opportunity to give themselves a two-game lead on the rest of the league. Idaho has the opportunity to lay claim to being the best team in the state of Idaho and then the opportunity to sweep Nevada for the first time since the 1998-1999 season.

Hoboken-area technology entrepreneurs are developing a public Wi-Fi system for the town, a volunteer effort intended to provide a backup wireless system in the event of storm or outage.
Aaron Price, the founder of NJ Tech Meetup and livecube.co, is one of the leaders of the effort, and said the goal is to have the system running by Oct. 29, the first anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. He said the first priority is helping emergency personnel's ability to respond to events where wireless and telecommunications systems are badly damaged.
"The idea is we can build some infrastructure so that if something like Hurricane Sandy hits again, we'll have a backup infrastructure to support the town for emergency preparedness," Price said.
Price said the system would run based on mesh wireless networking, or a connection of wireless access points scattered around the community. Price said similar networks have been set up in places ranging from Brooklyn, N.Y., to Barcelona.
The project, called MileMesh, is being built with smart routers purchased with help from a $3,000 grant from NYCWireless. Price said the low-cost technology enables different parts of the community to connect online with one another.
The network will start with about 10 locations, which Price said can expand to add public venues and be used for nonemergency purposes.
The volunteer initiative consists of Price and members of NJ Tech Meetup, a network for aspiring technology entrepreneurs, lending their expertise. Details of deployment are still being finalized.
"We can't let Hoboken go off the grid like this again," the group says on milemesh.com, a website that helps organize MileMesh activities. "And we can't wait for Verizon or Cablevision to harden their systems. Despite repeated calls from Congress and the Federal Communications Commission, the telecommunications industry is resisting new requirements for backup power for cell sites and other critical communications facilities. We have to fix this problem ourselves so that our community is prepared for the next big crisis."
