Any ideas?

Americans are racked with spasms of orientation differences by a plethora of moneymaking private and taxpayer government programs that incarcerate our citizens, particularly our youth, more than any other nation on earth.

This is achieved through coercion, prevention, surveillance, snitching, prohibition, incarceration and too often, unnecessary mandated treatment programs that deny and suppress our natural and benign human activities. Oftentimes, some intrusive moral restriction is the order of the day. More often, the laws are not based on sound scientific, medical, economic or human anecdotal evidence.

Hey Now, tonight, from 8 until 9pm, From Ear to There presents a smokin' set of live blues rock.

I recently returned several books and CD's to the library, leaving them in the indoor slot. To my shock, one of the CD's is marked on my account as not having been returned. A librarian checked, and it was not on the shelf. Since I am absolutely certain that it was returned, I am wondering if perhaps someone ripped it off from the slot. Has anyone else been told that something that they definitely returned was not received by the library?

Claremont 7, Keene 0

Keene managed to get a runner to second with one out in the eighth, but Myers fanned the next two batters to extinguish the rally.

Josh Duford led the offense with two hits and a run. John Grainger smashed an RBI triple deep to the triangle in left and Myers helped his own cause with a double and two runs.
