I am an atheist/ agnostic but after careful thinking, I've decided that perhaps virulently promoting atheism (as this community is doing) isn't really good for society. Please don't get offended, just read my arguments below calmly and rationally. If you can argue that I am wrong, I will listen to those arguments and change my opinion.
Note 1: I am using science in all my arguments, not religion.Not all my links point to scientific studies, but I'm sure you could find relevant evolutionary psychology papers if you googled for it.
Note 2: Please don't take offense, I'm not a sexist or a misogynist. I am trying hard to be as unemotional as possible in my arguments.
Argument 1: Polygamy is bad for society
What percentage of our (pre-civilizational/ barbaric) ancestors are males? The answer is not 50%. As evolutionary psychology points out, 80% of our female ancestors managed to reproduce but only 40% of our male ancestors did so. (Link: http://www.psy.fsu.edu/~baumeistertice/goodaboutmen.htm). Simply put, in barbaric societies, males were the high-risk high-reward sex whereas females were the low-risk low-reward sex.
Males are genetically polygynous (interested in sex with as many women as possible - this makes sense as men can produce millions of sperm every day and have a low reproductive cost)
Females are naturally hypergamous (interested in only one man but the best; the top 'alpha' man - this makes sense as a female produces one egg per month and has a high reproductive cost due to pregnancy and child birth).
When sexuality is uncontrolled, the combination of male polygyny and female hypergamy results in polygamy a.k.a harems (one man having sex & children with multiple women).
The ones who suffer are the beta males - the ones who have been sexually selected out. They typically become violent and don't contribute to society. There is an argument to be made that the Taliban practices polygamy and this is the source of violent behavior of terrorists from that part of the world. (Link: http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200706/ten-politically-inco...)
When promiscuity is controlled through strictly enforced monogamy, every man gets a wife. This reduces violent behavior and unlocks the productive capacity in males. I don't have the link available but a man who is already married or believes that he will marry in the future will be 4x productive as an unmarried man who does not believe that he will ever marry (e.g.) Japanese grass-eaters ostracized by an increasingly promiscuous Japan (Link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/27/japan-grass-eaters-sala...)
Alpha men don't significantly contribute to society - they are not scientific geniuses or hard workers. They are typically physically aggressive men. Contrary to feminist dogma, physically dominant men (even dominant to the point of abusive) are attractive to women because they exhibit alpha tendencies - The Dark Triad of Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy.
Alpha men understand their higher attractiveness (compared to betas) and adopt a pump-and-dump sexual attitude. They have many sexual partners but don't bother helping with raising their young; some of their young will die due to lack of resources but they make up for it in numbers.
Betas adopt a nourish-and-protect sexual attitude. They have only one sexual partner, whom they win by proving their love and commitment. Then they have children with only this partner, but provide resources and protection to ensure their children grow up successfully.
Monogamy is the cornerstone of civilization. See the Moralia versus Libertalia argument (Link: http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2011/10/14/relationshipstrategies/how...). In a monogamous society, with greater male economic participation and lesser violence, prosperity, rule of law and art flourish.
Argument 2: Promiscuity naturally leads to beta ostracism and harms society
Promiscuity - Defn: Any form of sex outside of monogamous marriage (including exclusive relationships)
Non-exclusive relationships (polyamorous relationships) are almost always polygamous (one alpha man with many women). This results in many beta men losing out.
Exclusive relationships also result in beta men losing out - Why? If enough alpha men are not available, hypergamous females would rather not enter into any relationship at all rather than be with beta men - "The Where have all the good men gone?" tirade from many women in modern promiscuous culture.
Promiscuity is the leading cause of single motherhood. Many women will rather have children with alpha men (who will later abandon them) rather than with good beta providers (whom they find dull and boring).
The social effects of unleashed promiscuity are enormous - 40% out of wedlock births, single motherhood and increased Govt debt/ taxation to support single motherhood by the State which steps in to replace the father.
Single motherhood produces children 2 to 10 times more likely to suffer from:

Argument 3: Atheism promotes promiscuity (Edit: by being silent about it)
I am not saying that atheism caused promiscuity (that happened in the 60s due to a variety of other reasons including feminism) but atheism has played a role in the rise of moral relativism, especially with respect to promiscuity.
The Golden Rule is perhaps the first tenet of religious morality but it is not the only one. The second most important tenet of religious morality is monogamy.
I have seen many arguments about how atheists are equally moral (if not more so) than religious people. In all these arguments, people assume that morality = Golden Rule.
Based on my personal experiences, many atheists seem to think that:
Morality = the Golden Rule
Promiscuity = personal freedom (i.e.) promiscuity is acceptable behavior that the Church restricts because the Church is old and stupid. Many atheists don't seem to realize the far reaching social effects of promiscuity.
This moral relativism on promiscuity is obvious even in this site. For example http://www.thinkatheist.com/forum/topics/atheists-are-not-moral-peo... does not deal with promiscuity at all. http://www.thinkatheist.com/forum/topics/what-is-your-stance-on-mar... has answers from many atheists clearly exhibiting moral relativism on the subject of promiscuity.
[Edit: The majority of your arguments were against this. I can understand why this may look like a strawman argument. Let me clarify:
There is a strong correlation between divorce risk and low IQ. There is also a strong correlation between high IQ and atheism (giving you folks a compliment, take it :) ).
Atheism as a movement, originated primarily amongst high IQ society. But it has now gone mainstream and is growing fast, scarily fast almost. As Uncle Ben put it, "with great power comes great responsibility". But Atheism does not seem to be taking up that responsibility from the Church. Yes, the Church is broken and old and corrupt and its practitioners are bigots and hypocrites. But, it is still the only thing out there taking a stand against promiscuity. Atheists seem to walk away from the responsibility of condemning promiscuity and most Atheists promote sexual freedom.
Morality naturally comes to Atheists because they are high-IQ individuals who are better able to visualize the impact of their life choices in the future. But, as atheism goes mainstream and the Church dies out, what happens to all the voices condemning promiscuous behavior?
We are not more evolved now in anyway than we were in the past. We are, still at our core, apes struggling to build great civilizations. We all (especially low IQ individuals) need moral guidance to help us in this struggle, to make better life choices.
Can you point links to me about prominent Atheists condemning promiscuity? Is the Atheist movement willing to take up the mantle of promoting social morality from the Church after slaying it? ]
[Edit 2: I am not a troll, I've just been super busy last few days, I will have more time this weekend to reply to some comments below. The essential thing I am trying to say is that religion is not pure evil, and we should not look at it in terms of black and white.
There are definitely good things about religion. There is a very interesting theory that religions also evolve over time and the most popular religions are the most useful ones to society, and they became popular precisely because they were an advantage to societies that adopted them. For example, societies with religions that promoted monogamy were almost always more successful in combat over societies that had religions that did not emphasize monogamy. The reason is because in societies that practiced monogamy, soldiers had a genetic stake in survival of that society (they had their own children to protect). Rome fell because of polygamy - the top politicians had harems and orgies and monopolized the women, resulting in loss of morale amongst troops who did not get the chance to be fathers. Rome was increasingly forced to rely on mercenaries rather than patriotic troops to protect her. After the treasury ran out, Rome collapsed because disenfranchised beta males, who had no genetic stake in Rome, simply walked off and allowed the barbarians to invade.
My point of view has always been "What is best for society?", and not "What is true?". Atheism is the correct working hypothesis because there is no proof for God and we have to use Occam's razor at all times. I don't see any downside consequences of high IQ people discovering/ discussing Atheism. But, we have a moral obligation (as the high IQ elites in our society) to do what's best for society. Imagine a ghetto filled with the poorest, uneducated people in our society. We have to make the decisions that will benefit them.
I don't really have a problem with Atheism, but I have significant issues with the Atheist Movement. For instance, take the advertisement "There is no God, Relax". This advertisement is targeted at people who have made bad choices in their life and have been sexually irresponsible. They are probably feeling guilty about these choices and the Atheist Movement is offering them an easy way out. It tells them "There is no Hell or Heaven, so relax and continue making bad choices". In reality, there is no hell or heaven, but there are societal consequences of your choices. In reality, guilt is often a very useful biological mechanism for correcting bad behavior, but Atheism is offering them a way to rationalize away their guilt so that they can continue making bad choices. I am speaking about this from personal experience, I have known people who commit adultery and rationalize their guilt because they think that the concept of 'sin' is meaningless as there is no God.
Also, to all people accusing me of being a sexist and having double standards, I am not asking for double standards from men and women; I am demanding high standards of expected social morality from both sexes. How is that sexist in any way?]
I am going to judge the merit of a social construct on the basis of its usefulness, not on the basis of its truthfulness. I will only promote an idea to society only if I am convinced it will help society.
If the Traditional Conservative Church (not the Modern version that tolerates no-fault divorce) is useful to society as an institution that encourages monogamy, I would rather have that than Atheism.

I think the problem with this article is that he is putting Atheism into the same category as religion and needs to be stopped. Atheism is just not believing in god(s). To say that Atheism promotes anything other than reason and logic in life is ignorant and misinformed. If he wants to leave Atheism, he can, but he needs to know that Atheism is not a religion.
How does the "There's no God, Relax" campaign target people who have made bad choices and/or have been sexually irresponsible? That's ridiculous.
I do believe religious people are far more immoral, irresponsible and definitely more hypocritical than Atheists.
Certainly, what religions class as promiscuity - I do not - used to be married, and the circumstances have coloured my opinion. He was catholic, he and his mother went to church every Sunday, etc. etc. ditched the wife and kids, dead beat dad. xianity nor marriage does not protect anybody from being abandoned - and in my experiences with xians, they are the worst cheaters, dumpers, charlatans, liars and immoral cowards. There are so many of them, they have numerous dating sites, after they have divorced. Hypocrites personified.
The ones who suffer are the beta males - the ones who have been GENETICALLY locked out, because they are simply inferior. So you think females should have someone who is inferior, siring their children?
Promiscuity is the leading cause of single motherhood - more crap - the leading cause of single motherhood, are fathers cheating, leaving, not supporting their family, ditching the wife and kids, also known as dead beat dads. Of course, women cheat, but they do it for different reasons. Just as many christian men watch porn as Atheists, America being one of the porn capitals of the world, a christian country.
Just because a female becomes pregnant, keeping in mind, this is not a miracle pregnancy - does not make her , in your words, 'promiscuous'. What is your definition of promiscuous - it is not in my vocabulary - it is a lack of knowledge, especially for girls, who don't understand the testosterone drive of the male, and will go weak at the knees as soon as anybody says I love you -
Knowledge is power, that is what is missing in todays civilized societies, where the church will not allow sex education.
Forewarned is forearmed - tell kids from as young as four or five, what nature is about, what birth is about, and when ready, tell them about intercourse. Education and information is the key to babies having babies. Make both male and female knowledgeable, they will be more confident, and not fear the other sex.
A true, working polygamous community is the one that works well - the best genetic material available, when women do not have to rely on the male to support them while having children, when the women can go to work, education, or staying at home looking after the kids - that is how polygamy is supposed to work.
But no, you now have the mormons, old men marrying young gils, pregnant at fourteen - that is polygamy today. Or in muslim communities, where the women are kept at home, no education, not going out for any reason without male accompaniment, repressed and psychologically damaged.
Single mothers used to be left in a ditch - therefore
Single motherhood produces 2 to 10 times more likely to suffer from etc. etc.
Only because society did not step up. Education is the key - keep young mothers at school, or help them get a job, generally support them. The talent that is being wasted, just because a girl had a baby, is disgraceful.
Sexually transmitted diseases - wear a condom, every time. Education.
When a woman, say in a tribal setting, is pregnant, all the woman help, they have been there, done that, the wise ones.
Hopefully, society is starting to catch up, allowing pregnant and new mothers to go back to school, the days of taking babies away is, at least in Australia, long gone - women are now being supported like never before, the result, less pregnancies, less single mothers.
Atheism promotes promiscuity - Nooowww, you are really stretching it - by the by, I don't think you are an Atheist, you are a closet christian, or still have remnants of a past xian life.
I would pitch an Atheists morals against christian morals any day.
Promiscuity is because the church restricts because the church is old and stupid. Noooo - because the church will not allow education about sexuality - by the by, one of the results being the sodomisng of hundreds of thousands of children, by thousands of priests, lets not go to what frigging islamist's are doing to it's women - AAAAAgggghhhhhh - it breaks my heart.
Can you point links to me about prominent Atheists condemning promiscuity? What is promiscuity? What is your fear of sex - very sad.
There is a strong correlation between divorce risk and low IQ. - Noooo - it is because men are polygamous by nature - it takes a strong bloke not to have sex outside a relationship - I am not married, and have a delightful, fun, happy relationship for, hmmmm 30 years. Would not get married again, it proved nothing, certainly not security.
Is the Atheist movement willing to take up the mangle/mantle of promoting social morality from the church after slaying it? Atheists are not scared of sex, which is your problem, and religions problem. Talk about it, explain it, being in darkness promotes fear, knowledge takes away the fear, education is always the key.
Good people are good people, religion doesn't come into it in any way shape or form. the church is full of hypocrites, charlatans, protectors of pedophiles and misogyny - so why do you keep on saying how moral the church is - because it most certainly is not.
RE: "The ones who suffer are the beta males -"
AND: "If enough alpha men are not available, hypergamous females would rather not enter into any relationship at all rather than be with beta men"
If women would prefer no man to Beta men, how would monogamy possibly resolve that? Your entire premise sounds to me like the plaintive cry of the Beta Male --
RE: "When promiscuity is controlled through strictly enforced monogamy"
So you're suggesting, what? - the Morality Police?
RE: "There is a strong correlation between divorce risk and low IQ."
Believe it or not, as you wish, but I have a very high IQ, and as incredible as it may sound (funny story, that --), I've actually been divorced more times than I've been married!
RE: "There is a very interesting theory that religions also evolve over time and the most popular religions are the most useful ones to society, and they became popular precisely because they were an advantage to societies that adopted them."
Which religion would you recommend? The one that tells you to stone your children to death if they curse you, or the one that tells you to kill everyone who doesn't believe as you do?
RE: "In reality, there is no hell or heaven, but there are societal consequences of your choices."
So why not teach that, rather than support a religious philosophy that, by your own admission, abounds in fallacy?
RE: "In reality, guilt is often a very useful biological mechanism for correcting bad behavior, but Atheism is offering them a way to rationalize away their guilt so that they can continue making bad choices."
Sounds to me like you're describing 2000-year old Catholic Confession --
RE: "I am going to judge the merit of a social construct on the basis of its usefulness, not on the basis of its truthfulness. I will only promote an idea to society only if I am convinced it will help society."
We all know - at least those of us who have spent any time studying the history of the Bible, that the Bible was not written in the manner that it says it was, by the people who it has been claimed wrote it, and it has been demonstrated and accepted by most reputable biblical scholars, that many of the characters of the Bible were simply invented, and never actually existed. Is it at all possible that someone, or a committee of someones, decided, "I am going to judge the merit of a social construct on the basis of its usefulness, not on the basis of its truthfulness. I will only promote an idea to society only if I am convinced it will help society."
RE: "There is an argument to be made that the Taliban practices polygamy and this is the source of violent behavior of terrorists from that part of the world."
No man practices polygamy who cannot afford to support multiple wives and multiple children - logic dictates that while the "polygamous Taliban," if such is the case, may well be sitting in his home, planning terrorist activities, others - more likely sex-starved Beta males - are carrying out his instructions, while he's safely tending his business, to continue making the money it takes to support multiple wives and children, which he wouldn't be able to otherwise keep.
I have no statistics to back me up, but I have every reason to believe they're out there, if anyone wishes to look for them (the older I get, the fewer frivolities I choose to waste my time on, and spending hours researching, to respond to your points, is not one of those), but I suspect that one will find a direct correlation between sexual repression and aggressiveness. The army of men who "ain't gettin' none" is likely to be far more ferocious that one that is "getting it" regularly - I'm just sayin' --
Here's your "Morality Police" in action:
(CNN) -- Outraged Tunisians took to the streets by the hundreds Tuesday, angrily protesting the treatment of a woman who was allegedly raped by police officers -- and then charged with public indecency when she filed a complaint.
"At best, charging the victim of a rape by police officers instead of protecting her from intimidation and stigma highlights the deep flaws on Tunisian law and criminal justice system," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, deputy Middle East and North Africa program director at Amnesty International.
"At worst, it is an insidious attempt to discredit a rape victim and protect those she accused of raping her."
The case began September 3 when three police officers approached the woman and her fiance while they were in their car in the capital Tunis, the woman's lawyer told Amnesty.
Two of the officers then raped the woman inside the car, while the third took her fiance to a nearby ATM to extort money from him, the woman claimed.
It was only after she filed a complaint against the officers -- and they were charged with rape and extortion -- that the officers said they found the couple in an "immoral position" in the car.
"This case first shocked public opinion since the innocent woman was raped by policemen," said Salah Eddine El Jorshi of the Tunisian League of Human Rights. "But when the verdict was announced, we were shocked even more that they tried to take this to another level by targeting the victim herself."
Authorities have not specified what they meant by "immoral position," but the claim was later repeated by the country's interior ministry, Amnesty said.
The couple was charged with "intentional indecent behavior," which could yield up to six months in prison.
Both have denied the charges. Tuesday's session is the second of what is expected to be several court hearings on the matter.
Interesting! I worked with a fellow from Tunisia for a few years. Now looking back, after telling him off and quiting, that his atitudes to others almost matched the Tunisian authorities. Amazing!
If you've taken nothing else, Shankar, out of what I've said, at least take this:
In saying, "I am going to judge the merit of a social construct on the basis of its usefulness, not on the basis of its truthfulness," you are, in effect, saying that you believe - as eons of religious leaders before you - that Humanity is, on average, too stupid to ever behave in a sensible fashion (though I'm not sure whom you would cite as a decision-maker, as to what constitutes "sensible" behavior), that you feel it is necessary to lie to them, to cause them to fear and feel guilty, in order to elicit that "proper" behavior.
Further, you stress, "there are societal consequences of your choices." I said it above, and I want to stress it again - teach in your schools, that there are societal consequences of your choices, alongside evolution and comparative religions, which should include a lenthy chapter on those who reject all religions and the reasons for doing so. Then, having instilled a sense of societal responsibility, give people the freedom to choose what they wish to do with their lives.
Whether you're raising children or teaching children, you can never dictate morality - the best you can hope for is to lead by example and advice - the child will determine how effective you have been. But a child reared in guilt, lives in shame, and a child raised in fear, lives in fear - instilling either of those in the minds of an innocent child, is, in my opinion, immoral.
A child reared in guilt, lives in shame, and a child raised in fear lives in fear.
It is not only immoral, it is child abuse.
It is unclear how anyone could tell the difference between a sociopathic disturbed male and a A-male. Or if B-males are really all that different. Is there a check list? If I told you my height, IQ, education, and number of times married, or number of degrees, would this help? Or does an A-male really act more like a silver back gorilla, or a crazy with a gun fetish and motorcycle? In short, A-male is a bad boy, just like some women like them! LOL
A-males who are bad boys - the girls they attract are also dumb - and they breed, to produce more of the same - give me geeks and nerds any day.
Sadly, I never owned a motorcycle, but I recently added to my private lab a used spectrophotometer and a time delayed digital camera 4MP! Sexy huh?

I had the same problem for few weeks since I have bought the phone (ICS 4.04 version).
I have found out that the cause for the problem in my case was the alarm clock!
So you need to freeze the android clockpackage.
I have used System Tuner application to do this (my phone is root) since freezing a system task requires the phone to be rooted
(I don't know if there is an application freezing system tasks without the need of the phone to be rooted)
Then I installed another clock alarm application from google-play for my usage.
I have verified that this is indeed the problem by unfreezing the clock task after a week without problems and then within a day the phone turned itself off. Again I have freezed the task and since then 2 weeks and I don't have the problem.
I hope it will be helpfull for you too.

Live stats and Audio are available through the links at the top of this page.
OPENING KICKOFF: Today's Centennial Conference (CC) game marks the 17th meeting between McDaniel (0-1, 0-0 CC) and Moravian (0-1 0-0 CC) in a series that dates back to 1972. The Greyhounds hold a 10-6 advantage in the all-time series, including three wins in the first three meetings since the renewal of conference foes in 2007. The Green Terror snapped that streak with a 13-10 victory in 2010 in Westminster and made it back-to-back victories with a 35-14 home win last season.
WHEN LAST WE MET: Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) matched a 41-year-old program record with 311 rushing yards to lead McDaniel to a 35-14 win over Moravian in the CC opener last season. The then-sophomore tailback was a large part of an offense that put up 436 total yards. Rollins added 20 yards on a kickoff return to give him a career-best 331 all-purpose yards. In addition to Rollins' big day, which included three touchdown runs, Nick O'Melia (Taneytown, Md./Francis Scott Key) added two receptions for 102 yards to account for the majority of then-freshman Nick Valori's (Treasure Island, Fla./Washington Twp. [N.J.]) 135 yards passing. The rookie completed 7 of 9 attempts in his first collegiate start.
LAST TIME OUT: Catholic scored 21 straight points to turn a 17-16 game into a 38-16 lead early in the fourth quarter en route to a 45-28 win over McDaniel last week. Nick O'Melia scored the first three touchdowns of the season for the Green Terror, racking up 154 yards receiving on six catches. Nick Valori threw for 231 yards, completing 14 of 32 passes. Greg Cordivari led the Cardinals with 312 yards passing and four touchdowns. He completed 21 of 33 attempts. Alonzo Cooke grabbed seven of those receptions for 156 yards and two scores.
WITH HONORS: Nick O'Melia and Erik Klugh (Millersville, Pa./Penn Manor) were named to their respective CC Weekly Honor Rolls last week. O'Melia was named the offensive ledger after leading the Green Terror with six catches for 154 yards, including three touchdowns. He caught scores of 62 and 60 yards among his grabs. Hill earned the defensive nod after recording a career-high 14 tackles and adding a pass breakup.
LEADING THE WAY: Tyler Lloyd (Broad Run, Va./Fauquier), Tim McLister (Leesburg, Va./Loudoun) and Kevin White (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Haverford Twp.) will captain the squad in 2012. White is a two-time captain while Lloyd and McLister will lead the squad for the first time as seniors.
OPENING STATEMENTS: McDaniel has won back-to-back CC openers after dropping four straight. After a one-year hiatus, the Green Terror returned to opening the conference slate against Moravian after last year. The Greyhounds won each of the first three CC meetings when the two teams meet in the first conference game of the season. The Green and Gold are 14-15 in conference lidlifters since the inception of the CFC. The Green Terror dropped its first eight openers after the creation of the CFC in 1983 – all to Gettysburg. For the first 20 years, McDaniel and Gettysburg squared off with the Bullets holding a slight 11-9 advantage. Ursinus was the first opponent on the Green Terror's CC schedule for the next four years. McDaniel won the first three of those meetings.
BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR: All four of the Green Terror touchdowns in the opener were scored through the air. Furthermore, Francis Scott Key High School graduates were on the receiving end of all four of Nick Valori's scoring tosses. Nick O'Melia caught the first three, including strikes of 62 and 60 yards before Keith Woodrow (Taneytown, Md./Francis Scott Key) got in on the action.
YOU'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR FIRST: For Keith Woodrow, his touchdown catch with 3:11 remaining in the fourth quarter last Friday was extra special. It was not only the sophomore's first touchdown reception but the two-yard catch along the back line of the end zone was also his first collegiate reception.
'BACKING IT UP: All three of McDaniel's starting linebackers in Friday night's opener reached double figures in tackles. Erik Klugh led the way with 14 stops from his middle linebacker position. Mike Cousar (Easton, Pa./Easton Area) and Zach Martin (Clarksville, Md./River Hill) reach recorded 12 tackles from their outside linebacker spots. The trio combined for 38 of the team's 94 total tackles.
IN THE NICK OF TIME: In his 10th career start last Friday, Nick Valori threw for 231 yards on 14 of 32 passing. For the sophomore, it was his sixth collegiate 200-yard passing game. As has been the case in half of his 200-yard passing games, Nick O'Melia was his favorite target. The junior wideout has had more than 100 yards receiving in three of his quarterback's 200-yard outings.
TWICE AS GRAND: Junior RB Joe Rollins enters his junior campaign with 2,024 career yards. He is one of three CC running backs all-time to rack up 2,000 or more yards in his first two seasons on the gridiron. Gettysburg's Paul Smith (1996-97) and the Green Terror's Eric Frees (1988-89) were the only other two backs to eclipse the two grand mark this early in their careers. Frees (5,281) and Smith (5,205) are the conference's all-time rushing leaders and the only two in conference history to hit 5,000 yards rushing. Rollins, a preseason All-American by Beyond College Sports Network, is already 34th in CC history and fifth in McDaniel program history.
IN A PINCH: Senior Matt Emerson (Moorestown, N.J./Moorestown) had one of his most productive offensive day in a Green Terror uniform even though the wide receiver did not catch a pass all night. Instead, he ran the ball five times for 47 yards in the absence of starting RB Joe Rollins.
TERROR TIDBITS: Nick Valori needs 131 yards to reach 2,000 for his career. He will be the 10th Green Terror signal caller to reach that mark… Brett Haas (Laurel, Md./Atholton) averaged 37.6 yards on five punts in his collegiate debut. He established a career long with a 56-yard boot for his first career punt… McDaniel has not won in Bethlehem since 1979. Moravian has won the first two meeting as CC foes at home… The Green Terror converted all three of its trips into the red zone last week.
COACHES' CORNER: Mike Hoyt is in his first season at the helm of the Green Terror, entering today's game with an overall record of 0-1. He spent the last eight seasons as the defensive coordinator, culminating with being a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year award in 2011. In his first season at Albright, his defense went from allowing an average of 235.4 yards per game to 175.1 yards per contest, helping to guide Albright to an ECAC South Atlantic championship. His tenure as defensive coordinator was marked specifically by stout run defense, ranking in the top half of the Middle Atlantic Conference in rush defense, total defense and scoring defense in four of his last five seasons. His 2008 defense led the conference and ranked 33rd nationally, allowing just 16.9 points per games and appeared in the ECAC South Central Bowl… Jeff Pukszyn is in his second season as the head coach at Moravian after serving 10 years as assistant head coach. He enters today's game with a record of 2-9 after a 2-8 debut campaign. He joined the staff as a part-time coach in 1997 after a three-year playing career under former head coach and current Director of Athletics Scot Dapp that saw him named to the All-Middle Atlantic Conference first team in 1994 and 1996. The two-time captain joined the staff full time in 1999 as defensive coordinator, a position he retains as the head man.

NEH Announces First We the People Bookshelf Awards to 500 Libraries; 15 Classic Books on "Courage" Will Support Community Programs
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced that it has awarded free copies of 15 classic books from the first We the People Bookshelf to 500 school and local libraries throughout the country. The theme of this year's bookshelf is "courage."
"Libraries serve as beacons of learning in schools and communities," said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole at the Stark County District Library in Canton, Ohio, one of the libraries included in today's announcement. "The We the People Bookshelf enables younger readers to examine the meaning of courage from many perspectives. These books inspire readers with stories of characters, real and fictional, who demonstrated personal courage when faced with difficult situations in uncertain times."
Cole announced the new awards as part of the Endowment's We the People initiative, which supports projects that strengthen the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture. Selected public and school libraries in all 50 states and Guam each will receive a set of the 15 books, posters, bookmarks, and other promotional materials from NEH through the American Library Association, which is working in partnership with NEH.
The We the People Bookshelf on "courage" contains the following books:
- Grades K-3: The Cabin Faced West by Jean Fritz, Anansi the Spider by Gerald McDermott, and Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig.
- Grades 4-6: The Matchlock Gun by Walter D. Edmonds, The Dream Keeper and Other Poems by Langston Hughes, My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George, and Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
- Grades 7-8: Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass, and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein.
- Grades 9-12: The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
In June 2003 at the Vice President's Residence in Washington, D.C., Lynne Cheney and Chairman Cole announced the first We the People Bookshelf, an annual list of books for young readers on a theme related to American history and ideals. Cole also announced plans to offer complete sets of the books to school and public libraries for public programs in their communities.
At the first deadline on Oct. 15, 2003, the Endowment received 625 eligible requests. Because of the interest generated among libraries for this program, NEH will make an additional 500 awards to be announced later this year. The 625 applications to receive the "courage" books were examined by a committee of children's librarians, young adult librarians, and educational programmers. NEH agreed that the 500 top-rated applications should receive the books.
The awards will go to neighborhood and public school libraries, as well as private schools, charter schools, tribal schools, and military schools. Libraries selected to receive the awards will organize programs or events to raise awareness if these classic books and engage young readers.
For example, the Martin Monsen Regional Library in Naknek, Alaska, will display the books and posters prominently in the foyer of the library, bookmarks will be handed out at the circulation desk, children will be rewarded for reading and reporting on all the books in their age group at a special ceremony hosted by the town council, and the mayor will award prizes to adults who read as many as five of the books to their children. And the Hattiesburg High School in Mississippi will use the We the People Bookshelf as the basis for an "All-Mississippi High School Book Club." Many events throughout the state will be staged to promote the reading of these and other books by students of all ages at venues throughout the state.
A complete list of the first 500 school and public libraries to receive the We the People Bookshelf on "courage" is available as a PDF document in the above box.

Rhythm Initiates Phase 2 Clinical Trial of RM-493 for Obesity
BOSTON, Jan. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhythm announced today the initiation of a Phase 2 clinical trial with RM-493, the company's novel melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist, for the treatment of obesity.
"This Phase 2 study will greatly expand our understanding of RM-493's profile for the treatment of obesity," said Liz Stoner , MD, Chief Development Officer of Rhythm. "Based on the data from preclinical studies and early clinical trials, we believe RM-493 has substantial therapeutic potential for reducing body weight and insulin resistance in obese and diabetic patients."
The Phase 2 trial is designed to evaluate the effect of RM-493 on weight loss and safety in obese subjects treated for three months. The trial will also assess the drug's effects on glucose and insulin resistance. In 2012, Rhythm completed Phase 1 clinical trials with RM-493 in which obese subjects were treated for up to 28 days. These studies evaluated RM-493's safety, pharmacokinetics, and effect on body weight. Extensive preclinical studies in obese primates preceded these human clinical trials; primates treated for eight weeks lost an average of 13.5% of their body weight, with significant improvements in both insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular function.
"We have seen compelling preclinical and clinical results with RM-493 to date," said Keith Gottesdiener , MD, CEO of Rhythm. "RM-493's potential for double-digit-percent weight loss, its promising initial cardiovascular safety profile, and the improving regulatory climate for obesity drug development present a unique and exciting opportunity to improve the treatment of obesity and diabetes."
About RM-493
RM-493 is a small-peptide melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist that is in clinical development for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. The MC4 receptor mediates a key pathway in humans that regulates energy homeostasis and food intake. The MC4 pathway is well validated in humans; mutations of MC4R are associated with obesity and are estimated to be responsible for 4%-6% of all severe obesity.
About Obesity and Diabetes
Over 78 million U.S. adults and 12.5 million U.S. children and adolescents are obese. Obesity is also a risk factor for the development of diabetes and is likely the critical factor in the 25% increase in the prevalence of diabetes over the past 20 years. Of the 24 million people with diabetes in the U.S., two-thirds have a body mass index (BMI) exceeding 27. The World Health Organization forecasts the prevalence of both obesity and diabetes to double worldwide over the next 20 years, with substantial health and economic impact.
About Rhythm (www.rhythmtx.com)
Rhythm is a biotechnology company developing peptide therapeutics that address unmet needs in metabolic diseases. Rhythm is developing the ghrelin peptide agonist, RM-131, for the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis and other GI functional disorders, and the MC4R peptide agonist, RM-493, for obesity and diabetes. Rhythm investors include MPM Capital, New Enterprise Associates, Third Rock Ventures, Ipsen, and Pfizer Ventures. The company is based in Boston, Massachusetts.

Motion gaming just got a whole lot crazier – or it will, if Forcetek's Xio ever reaches the market. The gaming exoskeleton literally straps onto your arm and wrist like a prototype from Tony Stark's lab, then translates the motion of your arm directly into video games. Besides offering input much more complex that the simple swishing motions of a Wii controller, the Xio will eventually be able to mimic force – like simulating the weight of a basketball in the hand – to reinforce muscle memory and more closely simulate the motions from the screen.

Here's Stephanie Benoit talking about eye contact, her second priority for stepping up her speaking. Eye contact's basic and essential for good speaking: You can't succeed without it. Yet for many speakers, it's tough to focus on the audience. Why? Eye contact:
- May distract you.
- Means you have to confront your audience, directly.
- May show you an awkward or awful reaction.
- May give away what you're thinking or forgetting.
In my experience,all of those are valid concerns--but no reason to stop making eye contact! I'll be posting some coaching tips for Stephanie this week. But in the meantime, if you dread eye contact or have concerns about it, post them in the comments so we can broaden this coaching session with real-life experiences.

PORTSMOUTH — A probate court judge initiated legal proceedings in a dispute over a deceased resident's estate on Wednesday, when it was announced that more of the woman's former beneficiaries will contest the current will, which names a police officer as the prime beneficiary.
PORTSMOUTH — A probate court judge initiated legal proceedings in a dispute over a deceased resident's estate on Wednesday, when it was announced that more of the woman's former beneficiaries will contest the current will, which names a police officer as the prime beneficiary.
The dispute concerns the estate of Geraldine Webber, who died in December at age 94. According to public records, Webber endorsed a new will and trust on May 2, 2012, leaving Portsmouth police Sgt. Aaron Goodwin her riverfront home, stocks, a bond and a Cadillac.
Attorney Jim Ritzo has filed motions with the county probate court alleging Goodwin "romanced" Webber, who was incompetent when she endorsed her last will and trust after 25 years of having a contrary estate plan. During Wednesday's probate court hearing, Judge Peter Hurd accepted the May 2 will and trust, which was prepared by Hampton attorney Gary Holmes, who is represented by attorney Ralph Holmes.
Procedurally, that means objections will now be accepted and heard by the probate court. The judge announced he will schedule a follow-up structuring conference.
Portsmouth attorney Paul McEachern said earlier this week that he is representing Webber's former friend Barbara Wardwell and local supermarket worker Michael Williams. Wardwell was named as a $10,000 beneficiary in Webber's prior will, but is deleted from the subsequent one. Williams was a $25,000 beneficiary in the prior will, but is unnamed in the will and trust Holmes prepared.
During Wednesday's probate court hearing, McEachern announced he is now also representing Webber's daughter-in-law, Joanne Peterson, and Webber's mentally-disabled grandson, Brett Webber. Both were named as $25,000 beneficiaries of Webber's prior will, but are left out of the new will trust.
In a written statement dated March 6, 2013, provided to the Portsmouth Herald, Peterson said Webber "had dementia" in her last years and that "anyone who talked to her would have known it." Peterson also wrote in her statement that Webber's financial support for her grandson — a small monthly interest check on a certificate of deposit — ended when Webber met Goodwin.
McEachern informed the court Wednesday that he's also representing Webber's friend Betsy Lodge, who was named in Webber's prior will as a $10,000 beneficiary and is not named in the current will. McEachern also told the court he expects to represent Webber's friend Rene Currie, who was named in Webber's 2009 will as a $2,500 heir, but was cut from the last will.
City Attorney Robert Sullivan attended Wednesday's hearing as an observer and told the Herald that no decision has been made as to whether the city of Portsmouth will intervene in the case or object to the current will and trust. Webber's 2009 will left $250,000 each to the Portsmouth Police and Fire departments, while her current will and trust leaves them each $25,000.
Also attending Wednesday's hearing was Manchester attorney David Eby, from the Devine Millimet law firm, who is representing the Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Clinic in New York and the Shriners Hospital for Children in Boston. Eby told the Herald he had no comment about the case.
The will Ritzo wrote for Webber in 2009 stated her assets would be sold and, after her bills were paid, half of the proceeds would go to Eby's clients — the cancer clinic and children's hospital. The new trust gives those parties $25,000 each, about 90 percent less.
Ritzo alleges in probate court records that Goodwin "shopped" Webber's will around to "at least four" lawyers before Holmes took the case. He said he was her lawyer for years and her wishes remained consistent until she asked him to change her estate so she could "leave everything to Aaron."
Ritzo has asked the court to award him a $65,000 payment from Webber's estate for the quarter century he said he worked as her lawyer, but was not paid.
Goodwin provided the Herald with the following statement on Sept. 20, 2012: "The allegations that I exploited a member of our community are completely untrue." With that response, he attached letters from the state Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services, dated June 12 and Sept. 19, 2012, stating that two investigations into complaints of elder exploitation by him regarding Webber were conducted and both were concluded as unfounded.
Before she died, Webber told the Herald in a 25-minute interview that she first met Goodwin when he responded to her home after she called police to report that "members of the nation's gang" were on her property.
"You bet he is," she said when asked whether Goodwin was a beneficiary of her will and trust. "It's my money and my house and I'll do as I (expletive) please."
Six days after Webber died, Goodwin asked the probate court to remove him as co-executor of her estate, citing "conflict — potential litigation."

Josephine Pucci led the Crimson defense in holding Cornell to a season-low 14 shots (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In a fast-paced showdown between two of the top teams in the nation, the No. 9 Harvard women's hockey team couldn't light the lamp against No. 3 Cornell as the Crimson dropped a 2-0 decision Friday night at Bright Hockey Center. With the result, the Big Red claims the season series sweep and improves to 12-1-0 in the conference, while Harvard dips to 11-6-1 overall and 8-4-1 in ECAC action.
Harvard had ample opportunities to grab a lead in the opening stanza, earning a trio of power plays throughout the first period. The hosts got a handful of good looks that tested Cornell goalie Amanda Mazzotta, but the senior stood firm and kept the Crimson off the board.
After a pair of successful kills it was Cornell that broke through first as Rebecca Johnston stuffed home a short-range rebound after Kendice Ogilvie put the puck on the doorstep. The teams each received penalties in the final two minutes of the period, and after just 15 seconds of 4-on-4 play, the Big Red struck again with Brianne Jenner redirecting a Lauriane Rougeau shot past Laura Bellamy for a 2-0 lead after one.
The pace of the game stayed quick through the second period, but the defenses went into lockdown mode as neither team could muster a goal. Harvard once again held the edge in shots, 6-5 in the period, but entered the third frame staring at a 2-0 deficit.
The final frame was more of the same as the Crimson outshot the Big Red, 8-2, but was unable to capitalize on a handful of good chances. With 1:37 remaining in the contest, Harvard pulled Bellamy for an extra skater and gained a two-skater advantage soon after thank to a Cornell infraction. The Crimson managed to keep the puck in the Cornell zone, but Mazzotta stayed true and staved off a late Crimson flurry to preserve the clean sheet.
The Crimson allowed just 14 shots on goal in the game, a season-low total for the Harvard defense. Bellamy notched 12 saves in the game while Mazzotta picked up 22 in her shutout.
The Crimson wraps up its four-game homestand tomorrow afternoon in a 4 p.m. game against Colgate.

NEW YORK CITY -- If they can make it here, they can make it anywhere. Pinball guru Steve Epstein is bringing the classic coin-op game back to Manhattan, but not in an arcade. Modern Pinball NYC on 3rd Ave. between 26th and 27th Streets is an interactive showroom featuring brand-new pinballs and refurbished models, dating back to the early solid-state era (late 1980s).
The retail showroom, where every game is for sale, is only 1,450 square feet, but it tidily packs up to 35 games. Small quarters in the back can be used for parties or as a staging area for events. Modern Pinball NYC is an official distributor for Jersey Jack Pinball, which began shipping its Wizard of Oz flipper game earlier this year. New games from Stern Pinball are also for sale, and are supplied and shipped by Modern Pinball's allied resellers, including Tilt Amusements (Ostrander, OH).
The pinball venue is roughly the same size of Epstein's former Broadway Arcade, (the second one at 52nd St.), which closed in 1996. Its clientele comprised local coin-op fans, Broadway cast members and celebrities like Roberta Flack, Matthew Broderick and Paul Simon. Lou Reed held his wedding reception -- with 50 guests, cake and gifts -- at the Broadway Arcade. The musician and songwriter died on Oct. 27, the same day Modern Pinball NYC "unofficially" opened for a private party to celebrate the second birthday of Epstein's twin grandsons.
Nostalgia aside, Modern Pinball NYC is about a coin-op institution that has been struggling to find a place in a digital society. Since the Broadway Arcade shut down almost 20 years ago, Epstein has been a go-to guy for collectors, promoters, tournament organizers and manufacturers, and a spiritual figure to soul seekers searching for the meaning of pinball. At Modern Pinball NYC, Epstein's business partner is Steve Zahler, a 44-year-old Web developer from New Jersey, and a serious pinball collector and competitive player.
"We're going to offer white-glove service," Zahler reported. "Every machine must pass a thorough checklist. And taking care of customers is the top priority."
VT recently toured the facility and found every game in it to be in excellent working order and in pristine condition. The Addams Family (Bally/1992), Fun House (Williams/1990) and Flipper Football (Capcom/1996), along with Dr. Dude (Williams/1990), Bram Stoker's Dracula (Williams/1993) and Punchy the Clown (Alvin G. & Co./1993) are some of the solid-state games on display. Stern's Star Trek and Metallica pins, among other new titles, are also in the showroom.
Zahler grew up in New Rochelle, NY, where he spent his youth playing pinball at Nathan's. He hopes Modern Pinball NYC will introduce the classic game to kids and teens, and perhaps make it a family experience. Games on display, all set on free play, can also be played after paying a small admission fee. Patrons are charged in units of time: $10 buys an hour of flipper, $20 gets an all-day pass. It's a similar fee model that's been used by the Silver Ball Museum in Asbury Park, NJ, which boasts 200 playable games.
With the devoted assistance of pinball enthusiasts Francesco LaRocca, Al Cihak and Eddie Cramer, among others, support for Modern Pinball NYC is growing. LaRocca is an experienced pinball tournament organizer; Cihak is a collector who has become one of the biggest pinball machine operators in the Big Apple; and Cramer is an expert at restoring games.
In addition to showcasing pinball machines and hosting special events, Epstein and Zahler are planning outreach programs to provide exposure to pinball to a much broader audience.
Epstein is a founder and co-chairman of the International Flipper Pinball Association, which is moving its official headquarters to the Modern Pinball site. The official opening of the venue will be celebrated this weekend, Nov.16 and 17, in conjunction with an IFPA tournament, the proceeds of benefiting the city's Food Bank.
Going forward, Epstein and Zahler, who is a top-ranking IFPA player in New Jersey, say tournaments will be a big part of their enterprise. Video footage of tournaments and player interviews will run on TV displays located throughout the store. TVs will also show high-score leaderboards.
The IFPA was created with the express purpose of encouraging, supporting and endorsing competitive pinball throughout the world. The organization provides oversight and assistance in establishing pinball leagues and organizing tournaments. At present, more than 450 IFPA events are staged annually.
The association endorses the World Pinball Tour events, which now boasts more than $500,000 in cash and prizes awarded each year. With 25 country directors around the world, the IFPA has created the first official player ranking system, which awards points based upon player performance. The World Pinball Player Rankings (WPPR) includes over 21,000 players from 40 different countries. And these numbers keep increasing, as people of all ages from all parts of the globe respond to the timeless appeal of the pinball machine's harnessing of Newtonian mechanics to human ingenuity to present an intriguing challenge to skill and quick reflexes.
"The staggering, explosive growth of the entire worldwide community of pinball players and enthusiasts has been nothing short of remarkable since we re-launched the IFPA just a few years ago," said association cofounder and co-chairman Roger Sharpe. "And the future has never looked brighter for pinball, with tournaments and leagues taking place around the world on an almost weekly basis. I know Modern Pinball NYC is going to become the must-visit place for everyone in the tri-state area."
For Epstein, creating a physical presence in New York City dedicated to pinball has been a long time coming. "Modern Pinball NYC will showcase the best that is pinball," the amusement industry veteran said. "And to have the IFPA headquarters based here is icing on the cake."
Modern Pinball NYC is located at 362 3rd Ave., New York, NY 10016. It's open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Information can be had by calling (646) 415-8440; For parties and corporate events, call (908) 358-7773.

National Louis Launches Criminal Justice Program
National Louis University is pleased to announce it is launching a new Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice program. This new program will prepare students to work in fields addressing the effects of criminality on individuals, communities, and society. Available to students beginning Fall 2012, this program adds to the university's extensive list of degree offerings in the fields of education, human services, counseling, management and others concerned with human and community development.
"The curriculum of this program was developed in consultation with leaders in law enforcement, security and corrections, and based on best practices from other exceptional criminal justice programs," said Richard Schak, National Louis Criminal Justice Program Director. "Students will get hands-on experiences at the FBI crime lab, Cook County Medical Examiner office and other municipal offices, along with guest lectures, to give them a realistic understanding of the field and the expectations of hiring managers today."
National Louis will offer the program in two concentrations. The first is criminal justice administration, which will include community policing, probation, parole, etc. for current police officers who want to advance their careers at the supervisory level. The second concentration is forensic social service and focuses on crisis intervention, child abuse and theories of the personality. Special topics will include terrorism response, homeland security, criminal investigation, transportation security and forensics.
National Louis identified a strong student interest in a criminal justice program, with more than 300 students having pursued a criminal justice minor. Additionally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that jobs related to criminal justice (police officers, detectives, etc.) are expected to grow nearly 10 percent by 2018 and specialist jobs (probation officer, correctional treatment, etc.) will see an anticipated 19 percent growth during the same time frame.
"For more than 130 years, National Louis has been committed to serving the community by preparing students to become change agents to impact social good," said Dr. Nivine Megahed, National Louis president. "The university's new program, with its focus on social service and criminal justice administration, exemplifies this ongoing commitment to serving the community."
The Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice program equips graduates to give back to the community in the law enforcement, courts, or corrections systems, or to work in related private industries. The degree requires 180 quarter hours and, depending on prior college work and experience, may include general education coursework, courses in business support areas, elective coursework and coursework in the major. Instrumental in the curriculum design was Program Director Richard Schak who brings 43 years of experience in the criminal justice field, including 27 years as a homicide detective and director of field operations and other university criminal justice programs.

It's hard to know where to begin. As most of you know, I wasn't lucky enough to grow up with all of this. As a result, I don't have a switch in my brain that automatically goes on at a certain point in a game, I don't think about it after the first out like TBF does, I've had to train myself to watch for it. Even then, tonight, it was the last thing I would have expected. I didn't get out of work until 6:15, and I wasn't sure I was going to make it in time for first pitch.… [more]

Newcomer to Guest-Star in Second Season of GLEE
Series Returns with All-New Episodes Tuesday, Sept. 21, on FOX
Newcomer Chord Overstreet ("iCarly") joins the ranks at McKinley as a high school athlete who starts off as Finn's protégé but becomes his competition. Overstreet has been cast in the recurring role of SAM, and will make his debut in the season premiere episode of GLEE airing Tuesday, Sept. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
As previously announced, other notable guest stars in the sophomore season include singing sensation Charice, who comes to McKinley as an exchange student and becomes a formidable rival to one of the glee club's stars; and heartthrob John Stamos, who plays a dentist and potential love interest for EMMA PILLSBURY (Jayma Mays).
Entering its second season, GLEE is a biting musical comedy that has quickly become a pop-culture phenomenon. The highest-rated new scripted series of the season boasts critical acclaim, a loyal fan base of "GLEEks," two certified Gold albums, more than 10 million song downloads and an incredible 19 Emmy nominations – earning it the distinction of being the most-nominated series of the year. To top it off, the genre-defying, award-winning series has been picked up through its third season.
GLEE follows a group of eager and ambitious students as they strive to outshine their singing competition to win Nationals while navigating the cruel halls of McKinley High. Although New Directions lost at Regionals, they now have their sights set on making it to Nationals and defeating their arch rivals, Vocal Adrenaline.
The glee club's fearless leader is WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison), a talented young teacher with hip-hop skills and a heart of gold. New Directions' aspiring stars include RACHEL (Lea Michele), a pitch-perfect singer with an unfaltering determination to be popular; FINN (Cory Monteith), the heartbreakingly cool quarterback who struggles with his personal life; KURT (Chris Colfer), the baby-faced soprano with a fierce eye for fashion; MERCEDES (Amber Riley), a powerhouse vocalist whose diva attitude rivals the greats; ARTIE (Kevin McHale), a physically disabled performer with sweet vocals and a dream to dance; and TINA (Jenna Ushkowitz), a goth chick with a soft side. There's also arrogant and cocky crooner PUCK (Mark Salling); ice-cold queen-bee-turned-teen-mom QUINN (Dianna Agron); and the dynamic dimwitted cheerleading duo of BRITTANY (Heather Morris) and SANTANA (Naya Rivera). With his heart in the right place, Will is determined to help the kids take Nationals, but at every turn he must battle with his nemesis, SUE SYLVESTER (Jane Lynch), the conniving cheerleading coach; and his evil ex-wife, TERRI (Jessalyn Gilsig). Mr. Schuester's only allies at McKinley are OCD-afflicted guidance counselor EMMA PILLSBURY (Mays) and supportive parents like Kurt's dad, BURT HUMMEL (Mike O'Malley).
GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk, Dante Di Loreto and Ian Brennan serve as executive producers.

Chase The Fire
Which of these songs do you like the most?
Click here to see the results of Round 1 for Walkabout.
Chase the Fire...that was the easy one.
I am the winner in any event.
Same Here. I went with Chase The Fire because the first time I ever saw it done LIVE in 1986 (on the Moody Blues tour) it had the ever powerful bass drive that impressed me big time. And when Cy yelled "yeah" (after "you shout the lines") with an ensuing echo throughout the amphitheater - Chase was sealed as an all time fave for me.
Incedently, Camphor got nudged out by 1 vote under Built For The Future.
CHASE ... 3 times a charm.. way to go ADAM!!!!
I think some good songs got voted out.
Interesting album. Not The Fixx we know today. It's a different, more upbeat, rhythmical, even sort of a strange sounding album.
Make that 4 times for Chase. I also say, way to go Adam!
Secret Separation.....
My wife's favorite....so I'll go with it again....
"I knew a transsexual guy whose only ambition was to eat, drink, and be Mary." ~ George Carlin.
Hard to pick, I went with Built For The Future. Great positive vibe.
Cool lyrics. great tune. ...a conquer all, a desert stall that serves a drink to people under sun...
...when a breath inspires it's a sign of life...
Agree with The Flow...Built for the Future.
Sort of like The Fixx, themselves... visionary, always a step ahead. Kim
Didn't Adam write Chase The Fire?
I think Adam should write more stuff. Because when he does it is pretty top notch.
I can't vote Secret Separation because it was butchered by radio in my 80s digs. I guess the DJs liked it a lot but I'd rather hear One Thing 10 more times than Secret Separation.
Can't Finish is my all time fave from this album. And it's hard to decide which song I like second best. Built or Chase, both great songs. Ok for the positive vibes then: Built For The Future
I'm with you, Guido. Hated to see Can't Finish go down in Round 1. Of the surviving tunes in Round 2, I will pick Secret Separation. Love to sing along with Cy on that one. And you guessed it: he's the one with the much better voice. I'm just along for the ride.
Out of what's left I choose Secret Separation.
Been a Fixxture for a long time.
Built For The Future.
Just picked Built For The Future
Is this the way of the world, to take a boy and a girl and show them lying is real!

What Are Clarity Enhanced Diamonds
Yes! Clarity enhanced diamonds are real natural mined diamonds that come from the same diamond mines as all other diamonds. Some diamonds have better clarity than others. In the sorting process, those diamonds with imperfections that are considered "eye clean" are sold as is and those diamonds with visible imperfections that can be seen with the naked eye can undergo the clarity enhancement process which will improve their appearance!
Are Real Natural Earth-Mined Diamonds
30%-50% Cheaper Than Non-Enhanced Diamonds
By Spending Less Money, You Are Now Able To Get A Larger Diamond!
if you ever experience any issues with the enhancement on your diamond, we will take care of it at ZERO cost to you
JEWELRY APPRAISAl
Will be included with your purchase
How Does Clarity Enhancement Process Work
Clarity enhancement is the process of taking a diamond that has a visible imperfection and improving its appearance. By inserting a microscopic material into the part of the diamond that has the imperfection, we are able to eliminate the imperfection by making it look less visible to the naked eye.
In conclusion, clarity enhanced diamonds offer superb value when looking for high quality, larger or more affordable options of real, naturally mined diamonds. Plus, the clarity enhancement process is not visible by the naked eye and only a trained jeweler will be able to tell that your diamond has been clarity enhanced.
