It's not clear of the origins of golf and is still being debated and researched. Still it's a general acceptance that modern day golf began in Scotland around the Middle Ages. The game remained popularity only in Scotland until around the 19th century. It then started to gain notoriety as it began to spread throughout the rest of the United Kingdom. From there it spread in the United States of America.
The game has developed from there into a science to include a set of stringent rules and a landscape filled with pit falls at every turn. Sand traps or silica sand bunker, ponds, hills, even level turf, and of course the rough, all design to exhilarate the senses.
Golf has become synonymous with high profile players such as High ranking military personal, politicians, business persons, and a variety of super star entertainers. However golf has long been opening itself up to the general public where profession and beginners alike can enjoy the game.
In summary, it's a great outdoor sport that's easy going, a non-contact sport that can be played by any age group, if it's your cup of tea.

Sachin and Menik tease relationship drama for the Kapoors
Ajay and Priya Kapoor may seem like they have it all, but upcoming episodes will tell a different story. Sachin Joab and Menik Gooneratne give us the lowdown.
Teaser alert!
Neighbours' Ajay and Priya Kapoor may seem like they have it all, but upcoming episodes will tell a different story.
Things aren't quite so harmonious for Ramsay Street's newest residents when Ajay buys number 24 without consulting Priya - and their relationship goes downhill from there as one of the biggest revelations of 2012 begins to unfold.
Here's some inside gossip from two people closest to the drama - Sachin Joab, who plays the affable Ajay, and Menik Gooneratne, the feisty and determined Priya.
Ajay and Priya seem like the perfect couple. Why do you think cracks are starting to show in their relationship?
Sachin: They work too hard! I think they are so busy with life and Ajay wants to do everything for his family's future that they're actually forgetting about living in the moment.
Menik: Priya is the one that keeps it together, and when Ajay makes decisions without her involvement, she doesn't like it. I think it's been brewing for a while.
Who do you think is the real boss in this relationship?
Menik: Definitely Priya. She makes the hard decisions.
Sachin: Well, I'm not going to argue with that! Definitely Priya.
Do you think they are have let their careers influence their relationship?
Menik: They are both high achievers for all the right reasons, but they have unintentionally put their careers first.
Sachin: Everything Ajay does is for his family, but he is forgetting about what's important and that is being with them.
Are you anything like your characters?
Menik: I'm not sure if I'm quite the achiever Priya is, but I'm pretty determined when I put my mind to it.
Sachin: He is probably a better drummer. Definitely the way he loves his family and how important they are to him.
Viewers obviously know you best as Ajay and Priya. What do you think they'd be surprised to learn about you?
Menik: In another life I was behind the lens as a photographer.
Sachin: I was into hip hop dancing in my younger days and entered a few competitions. You can stop laughing, Menik.
You have both been on Neighbours for nearly a year. What's been the highlight so far?
Menik: Definitely going to Ramsay Street for the first time and my little scene with Dieter Brummer, because as a teenager I was madly in love with him when he was Shane on Home and Away.
Sachin: Working with some great directors and experienced actors, like Alan Fletcher, Jackie (Woodburne) and Stefan (Dennis).
There was quite a lot of interest in the Kapoors when they were first announced. How are things now?
Menik: We're just part of the furniture now; we just blended in.
Sachin: I think people see us as normal now, and our cultural backgrounds are barely mentioned.

Where did the Bible come from?
By Matt Slick
First of all, the Bible is the result of God's act where he inspired various people to write different books of the Bible over a period of about 1500 years. The Old Testament has 39 books1 written in Hebrew, and the New Testament has 27 books written in Greek. The New Testament tells us that Scripture is inspired (2 Timothy 3:16) and that the Holy Spirit is the one who moves people in this process of writing (2 Pet. 1:21). Second, the people of God, the Jews in the Old Testament period and the Christians in the New Testament period, recognized what is and is not the word of God. Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." This means that the Christians (the sheep) hear God's voice in the manifestation of both the Old and New Testament Scriptures. They accepted those books that we now have today in the Bible because God worked though the Church to give us the New Testament. Therefore, the Bible comes from those who are moved by the Holy Spirit both to write and to recognize God's word.
In the Old Testament, God moved various Jews to write the books. These men were recognized as prophets because they were often able to work miracles which verified the authority given to them by God. In the New Testament period, the criteria by which canonicity was determined was basically as follows. First, the documents needed to be penned by the apostles of Jesus or those who were under the apostles' direction. Second, the writings had to demonstrate authoritative style and theological orthodoxy consistent with other writings held to be inspired from God. Third, Christians recognized the writings as authoritative within the church.
Are the Biblical Documents Transmitted to us trustworthy?
Because the Bible is inspired by God, it is necessarily inerrant in the original writings. God doesn't make mistakes. This means that the direct writing of the original documents were without error. However, it is true that the copies of these ancient documents are not perfect. There are copyist errors, but this does not mean the entire Bible is untrustworthy. Both the Jews and the Christians took extreme care when copying the biblical documents. Those whose reproduced Scripture considered the work one of the most important things to do. They considered it to be the very word of God, so they were meticulous and extremely careful when copying and would not add opinions or reconstructions of text from memory. But small errors did happen--though infrequently. In fact, we have so many copies of New Testament documents that have been spread throughout the ancient Mediterranean area that we can reconstruct the originals to almost 100% accuracy. The Bible is extremely reliable.
- 1. In 1546 the Roman Catholic Church added seven books to the Bible in response to the Protestant Reformation. They are Tobit, Judith, Maccabees 1 and 2 Wisdom, Sirach, and Baruch.

Queenstown Shotover River White Water Rafting
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Queenstown Shotover River White Water Rafting. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Absolutely fantastic
The water rafting was excellent on massive rapids and the guides were all fantastic even the bus ride there was entertaining and extreme.
We did this trip with 2 young teenage boys and they want to go again!!! Our leader was Michelle, he looked after us really well and made sure we had a spill at the end!! This was really well organised and we felt safe at all times even though the river was high... The drive to get there also provided some great scenery and some hair raising moments. We will do this again if ever we are lucky enough to be in NZ again.
This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, KC, was very experienced. Everything that you need was provided. The drop off location is right in the middle of town, so close to accomodations.
Robin B
Awesome!!! Beautiful and fun!
The bus ride to the put-in point was completely frightening! We should have fallen off the cliff a dozen times! The raft ride was good - probably not enough water in the river to make it excellent, but that's no one's fault. Our guide was terrific - a young woman whose name escapes me. Safety was considered a priority with this group, so that was much appreciated. I would do it again if I was in Queenstown again.
Great time
Awesome and informative trip. Ride to Skippers canyon was exciting given there are no barriers on that road. Guides told some interesting background stories about the location and during the rafting. Rapids were enough of a challenge and still provided a relief when we made it past them.
Guide was fabulous and made the day worthwhile even though the actual river ride was less extreme than I expected....the river was too low at this time of year. Nevertheless I would recommend to anyone.
Wasnt as exciting as I wanted it but the guide was really safe and gave very clear instructions.
Really well organised. Coach ride to gorge along Skippers was awesome - not sure I'd like to drive it myself even in a 4WD let alone a coach towing inflatables. First part very pedestrian but gave guide chance to 'train up' the crew. Never done rafting before but lack of experience no prob. Most rapids tame but the level 4 bits were good fun. The guides really seemed on top of everything in case of any misfortunes but there weren't any. Most of the time it was a very pleasant journey down the gorge. Would like to do some more rafting now.

The Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops recognizes the need to reform access to health care in the United States. The Catholic Church has been and continues to be an advocate for health care reform that provides medical care for all in an accessible and affordable manner.
According to church teaching, health care is not merely a privilege, but a basic human right. In Pacem in Terris, Pope John XXIII stated that "rights are universal and inviolable, and therefore altogether inalienable." These include, but are not limited to, the "right to medical care," and "to be looked after in the event of ill health." The New Testament Scriptures further reveal an apostolic duty, commanded by Jesus, to heal the sick while proclaiming the Gospel (MT 10: 7-8).
For centuries, Catholic hospitals have served and ministered to the sick and the dying. Other Catholic institutions have welcomed and served the elderly, handicapped, expectant mothers, newborns, and others with physical, emotional or spiritual needs. This is an important expression of our respect for the innate dignity that lies within every human being, regardless of race, nationality, religion, political opinion, or social class.
This respect for life and dignity directs us to urge congress to support reforms that:
Exclude public health care monies for abortion;
Prohibit any form of euthanasia;
Protect the right of conscience of a health care professional or institution;
And Respect the right of a physician and a patient to decide treatment for the healing of that patient without interference.
Finally, in shaping public policy on access to health care, we appeal to congress for a plan that ensures basic affordable medical care for all, including legal immigrants, and a plan that protects the role of personal and private entities in carrying out their health care mission.
The bishops urge that any health care plan embraces all of these principles, and invite all Catholics to pray for all legislators that they will be enlightened by God to know what is good for our society and particularly those in need.

This show was incredible in the first season. It had the great emotinoal story line, about Michael trying to break his brother out of prison, to save him from death penalty for a crime he didnt commit. Thee casy was amazing, and realistic acting made this show so very good.
Story developed pretty well over the 4 seasons, but in my opinion, going back to a prison story in season three was a huge mistake. And whats the thing about using half a season making a plan and execute it only to see it fail, then you do the same thing in the other half of the season. This was also the plan for season 3, but because of the writers strike, they had the failed try in the 6th or 7th episode and the one where they succeed in the 13th and last episode. Ridicilous is the only word to describe it. So extremely predictable.
The thing that makes me give the show a 9, is the end of the series, and the movie they made. The endings for both were incredible to say the least.

Summary: Do the rich have responsibilities toward society in the use of their wealth for the public good? In this volume, some of the leading scholars of philanthropy explore that question. The book opens with Andrew Carnegie s touchstone essay, The Gospel of Wealth,�'' in which Carnegie enjoined his fellow millionaires to act as trustees to the poor, to help those who will help themselves,�'' to administer the wealth of the community far better than it could or would have done for its ...show moreelf.�'' Historian Barry D. Karl looks more closely at Carnegie s ethics of responsibility,�'' and Albert Anderson returns to Aristotle to examine the concept of responsibility and what it means to be philanthropic. Jonathan Riley suggests ways to encourage through legal means a revival of liberal philanthropy. Kenneth Fox studies the history of corporate philanthropy and concludes that corporate giving has failed to carry out Carnegie s creed. Louise W. Knight discusses the example of Jane Addams, whose view of the responsibilities of wealth provides a sharp contrast to Carnegie s. In the concluding chapter Robert L. Payton argues that a more effective and responsible philanthropy will come about only by paying closer attention to philanthropy s religious roots. ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 92

Salido Beats Up JuanMa, Again.
By Alexander Damien
Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico- In a all out war, WBO Featherweight champion Orlando Salido (38-11-2 26 KOs) stopped Juan Manuel Lopez (31-2, 28 KOs) Saturday night in the 10th round to retain his championship belt.
From the opening bell, the fight was fast and furious. With Salido dominating the exchanges with harder, cleaner shots being landed. Lopez's defense was nowhere to be found, similar to their first encounter, in which Salido knocked out Lopez in the 8th round.
In the fifth, Lopez showed signs of life by knocking Salido down with a quick, short right hook, in what was his best punch of the fight.
The ninth round was an all out war between the two. Both fighters landed huge, punishing shots with neither going down. It could easily be called the "Round of the year".
In the tenth, Salido was able to put a strong combination together to put the Puerto Rican star out. With 32 seconds left in the round, the ref stepped in and called the fight as JuanMa was completely out of it.
With the win, Salido can either move ahead and face up and comer Mikey Garcia, or he can put his title on the line one last time against JuanMa and complete the epic trilogy.

Hawaii New Years Singles Vacation Daily Itinerary
Vacation Day 1 - Sunday: Arrive in Honolulu
Arrive at Honolulu airport and take our provided shuttle to the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort.
Tonight meet and greet your host and fellow vacationers. Then enjoy a wonderful Hawaiian welcome dinner, poolside with live music by legendary Hawaiian entertainers.
Vacation Day 2 - Saturday: Grand Circle Island Tour
The Grand Circle Island Tour is Oahu's most popular narrated tour, and a great way to get oriented to the island if it's your first visit—or learn new things even if you've been to Oahu before. We will cover 120 miles of Oahu, from end to end, in this day-long trip.
Starting in Waikiki , we will travel aboard an air-conditioned bus through the upscale neighborhoods of East Oahu, through Hawaii Kai, and along the rugged southeast coastline past the Halona Blowhole and Sandy Beach. See the cliffs of Makapuu with their stunning view of Rabbit Island, continue through the Hawaiian Homestead lands of Waimanalo, and then into laidback Kailua town. Travel up the tree-lined Pali highway for a stop at the 1,186-foot Pali Lookout, the site of King Kamehameha's last battle and unsurpassed views of the windward coast.
From there, continue on to the North Shore, passing through rural towns like Haleiwa and Waimea Bay, where the winter surf can create legendary 30-foot waves. We will get to see other famous surfing spots like Sunset Beach, Ehukai, and the Banzai Pipeline. The tour continues past the quaint towns of Kahuku and Laie, home of the Mormon Temple and the Polynesian Cultural Center. Last but not least, we will continue through Punaluu all the way to Kaneohe town before heading back to Waikiki after a full day's sightseeing.
Our day-long tour also includes a stop for lunch (cost not included) at the Coral Kingdom restaurant and gift shop on the windward side of the island, plus a stop at the Dole Plantation in central Oahu
Enjoy your Welcome Dinner at a casual Waikiki hangout
Vacation Day 3 - Sunday: Hanauma Bay Snorkeling
Hanauma Bay is a protected marine life conservation area and one of the world's best places for novice snorkelers. "The water is very clear once you get away from the beach. … You can feel the waves but it is a very easy swim." Within the bay's calm waters, you can swim through a coral reef with more than 450 species of vibrant tropical fish, a quarter of which are native to Hawaii.
Our half-day excursion includes round-trip transportation from Waikiki (about 25 minutes each way) and all the equipment we will need. You'll get a silicone-tempered mask, "J"-type snorkels, and endurance vinyl acetate fins, plus a defogger for your masks—all of it sanitized after each use. Additional snorkeling accessories (like underwater cameras) are available onsite for an additional cost, and you can bring your own gear if you prefer.
En route to Hanauma Bay, a DVD presentation of Hawaiian marine life will get you inspired with a glimpse of the fish and sea creatures you might encounter. Once we arrive, our driver will give us an overview of how to use our gear. There is also a 10-minute mandatory orientation video that runs on the half-hour.
The walk to the beach is a bit steep, so keep that in mind when deciding what to bring with you. Lockers are available on the beach, and there is food at the top of the hill.
Vacation Day 4 - Monday: Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour
The Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour is one of Oahu's most popular sightseeing experiences and gives you a special look at Honolulu's history.
We will travel first to historic Pearl Harbor, where we will have time to tour the renovated Pearl Harbor Memorial Museum and Visitor Center, the hub for all four Pearl Harbor historic sites: WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument (USS Arizona Memorial), USS Bowfin Submarine Museum, USS Missouri Memorial, and the Pacific Aviation Museum.
After our visit, we are off on a fully narrated tour of Honolulu city highlights. We will pass Punchbowl Crater, part of an extinct volcano and now home to the National Cemetery of the Pacific. Downtown see the state capitol and Washington Place, former home of Hawaiian royalty and Hawaii's governors.
A stop at the King Kamehameha statue allows time to take photos. View Iolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil (and an attraction that you can visit later using your Go Oahu Card), and Kawaiahao Church, where services are still held in the native Hawaiian language. Our tour winds up with a drive through Chinatown before returning to Waikiki in the early afternoon.
Vacation Day 5 - Tuesday: Manoa Waterfall Hike - Catamaran Sail
Manoa Valley is home to verdant rainforest and waterfalls that feel untouched by man. Pass through a bamboo forest and mountain apple and guava trees on our way to the 150-foot Manoa Waterfall. (Be warned that like any waterfall, it won't be as large during dry spells.) We will have plenty photo opportunities of tropical birds, mountain pools, and island flowers.
Once at the trailhead, we get bottled water, snacks, and binoculars. The hike is about 30 minutes to the waterfall and rated for beginning hikers.
Wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting muddy, pack bug spray, and be ready for humidity or even sudden downpours no matter what the weather was like at the hotel—this is a rainforest after all.
This afternoon we will travel the open waters of the Pacific on our 2 hour Whale Watching Catamaran cruise. You'll be amazed at how easily the catamaran slices through waves while still offering an ultra-comfortable ride. Our crew will take us along Oahu's shores, during which time you should be alert for dolphins, flying fish and sea turtles.
Winter time is whale watching season in Hawaii, when 3,000-5,000 majestic North Pacific humpback whales leave their summer home in icy Alaskan waters and migrate 3,000 miles to warm Hawaiian waters
Tonight is our New Year's Eve dinner at a local restaurant and midnight fireworks on the beach of Waikiki.
Vacation Day 6 - Wednesday: Waikiki Beach
Free day to enjoy our wonderful vacation resort and the beach at Waikiki
Vacation Day 7 - Thursday: Polynesian Cultural Center - Luau - HA Breath of Life Show
What better way to enjoy our final vacation afternoon than to immerse ourselves in the many cultures of the Pacific Islands at the 42-acre Polynesian Cultural Center? We will stroll through a complex of recreated villages in Aotearoa (New Zealand), ancient Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. At each stop, we will find hands-on activities and demonstrations showing cultural wonders like the art of fire dancing, climbing 50-foot trees in bare feet, spear-throwing, coconut-husking, and the Haka warrior dance!
Enjoy the regional culinary delights of Polynesian culture as you sample Tahitian coconut bread or "poi", the staple Hawaiian food made out of taro. Explore some of the traditions of the different islands like lei-making, or try your skill at playing derua and making Fijian music.
Then we will enjoy a luau, one of the best on the island, and includes an all-you-can-eat buffet with authentic Hawaiian food. The PCC's "Ambassador of Aloha" emcee will explain the imu ceremony where the roasted pig is lifted from its cooking pit, and also introduces an evening full of Hawaiian music, entertainment, and hula.
After dinner experience "HА™" - the spectacle of over a hundred performers from across the Pacific, drums, dance, all new music and special effects, a fire spewing volcano and a world renowned fire knife performance. Come. Breathe it in. And let the island spirit live in you long after our departure.
Vacation Day 8 - Friday: Depart Hawaii
Sad to say but our vacation ends today and it is time to say Aloha to Waikiki and all your new travel friends. Board the airport shuttle according to your flight schedule.

RELEASED: Jan. 27, 2006
EAU CLAIRE — An estimated 800 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students are expected to learn about the off-campus housing market during the 9th annual HOUSE Day (Housing Off-Campus University Student Event).
More than 60 landlords representing an estimated 500 Eau Claire rental units will participate in the event, which is slated for 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Jan. 31 in the Council Fire Room of Davies Center.
The Student Senate organizes the annual event to increase communication between students and landlords in an effort to reduce complications associated with signing leases, said Michelle Madsen, the Senate's director of student services, who organized the event with Justin Greif, chair of the Senate's tenant affairs committee.
Landlords are invited to participate in the event after Senate members have determined that they adhere to health codes and are honest with students.
A number of Student Senate members will attend the event to distribute information relating to renting.
Any student who plans to rent — whether they are first-time renters or experienced renters — are encouraged to attend, Madsen said.

Family & Friends
I pray for healing for a young man, J, who has cancer. This illness seemed to come from nowhere and has had a devastating effect on him and his family. Miracles can be done, in Jesus' name, and I pray that J will be fully healed. I pray for Your angels to watch over him and his family, in particular his parents, over the next months – which will be so hard. Let them know how very loved they all are.

The VFW proudly announced this week that its partly owned veterans jobs board has secured an exclusive employment initiative with Alberta, Canada, that could see thousands of skilled U.S. veterans heading north to work on their oil pipeline.
"Though America's Keystone Pipeline is delayed, the Canadians are moving forward on their side of the border and have an immediate need for tens of thousands of workers," said Ted Daywalt, founder and CEO of VetJobs. There is an anticipated shortage of 114,000 workers in the Alberta area. The positions being offered are long term, with many paying as much as 30 percent more than similar industry positions in the United States.
Some positions will require a move to Canada, but many others will allow veterans to commute — working several weeks in Canada, then one week back home.
"This is a fantastic opportunity and I'm proud of our affiliation with VetJobs," said VFW National Commander Richard DeNoyer. "Helping thousands of veterans to get well-paying jobs in an important industry just further proves that no one does more for veterans than the VFW."
To apply, go to www.vetjobs.com, click on Search Jobs, then type "opportunity awaits" into the company search field. Additional job postings will be added in the coming months as the Canadian pipeline project progresses. To read the VFW's full statement on the announcement, click here: http://www.vfw.org/News-and-Events/Articles/2012-Articles/CANADA-WANTS-U-S-VETERANS-FOR-PIPELINE-WORK/

(WVLT)- The Knox County Health Department's ongoing battle to keep you and your family safe from the West Nile Virus continues Thursday night.
The virus was found in some standing water in the area near West Fourth Avenue near I-275.
That's where the spraying will take place from 9 till midnight. It covers a good part of the surrounding area.
You're asked to stay inside and keep your pets inside as well during the spraying.
A follow up spraying will be done on Thursday, September 1st.
The health department says while the spraying helps, it's a up to everyone to kill off the illness before it can spread.
You can do your part by getting rid of any standing water.
Keep changing the water in any bird-baths on your property.
Keep pools properly chlorinated.
And make sure roof gutters are properly draining.
Once temperatures drop to below 55 degrees on average at night, the threat should be over.

Retailer Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., which sells small appliances, has posted a 37-percent increase in its profit for the quarter. This topped the U.S.'s Wall Street expectations on solid gains in sales as the home goods retailer added new stores.
The Union, NJ, U.S.-based company also raised its outlook above analysts' forecasts for both the first quarter and current fiscal year, citing plans to open between 80 and 90 new stores in fiscal 2004.
For its fiscal fourth quarter ended Feb. 28, 2004, the company said net income rose to U.S. $144.2 million, or $0.47 per share from $105.3 million, or $0.35 per share, a year earlier.
Analysts on average were expecting the company, which operates 581 Bed Bath & Beyond stores in 44 states and Puerto Rico, to earn $0.43 cents per share, according to Reuters Research.
Joan Storms, analyst at Wedbush Morgan Securities in Los Angeles, CA, U.S., called the quarter "phenomenal" and said the stock may have dipped because some on Wall Street were looking for stronger growth from the Christmas Tree Shops the company acquired in June 2003.
"They had a phenomenal quarter," said Ms. Storms, who has assigned a 'buy' rating on the stock and does not own any shares. She said Christmas Tree sales issue "is very small in the scheme of things."
Bed Bath & Beyond said fiscal fourth quarter sales at the chain of stores selling seasonal gifts and decorations were $87.5 million compared with $86.9 million a year ago in part due to disruptions related to the acquisition.
The seller of pots, pans, small appliances, and decorating items also said same-store sales during the fourth quarter increased about 8.1 percent compared with an increase of about 4.1 percent a year ago.
Bed Bath & Beyond opened six new stores during the quarter to help net sales climb to $1.30 billion from $1.05 billion.
The company also said in a conference call with analysts that its strong quarter was a factor in causing it to raise its 2004 earnings target to a range of $1.53 to $1.56 per share, and $0.25 a share for the first quarter.
Analysts had forecast earnings of $1.53 per share for the full year and $0.24 cents during the first quarter. (Reuters)

My name is Catherine Tress and I am the Property Tax Collector of our community. Stephanie Lattanzio is my part-time assistant in the office.
As a Pennsylvania Qualified Tax Collector, it is my pleasure to serve this community and assist every taxpayer to the best of my ability within the authority and legal powers of this office. In addition to providing residents and businesses with important tax information and professional service, one of the primary functions of any community tax collector is to be the independent collecting agent for a municipality and school district under Pennsylvania law. A tax collector does not set property assessment values, tax millage rates or collection due dates and does not have the ability to reduce penalties, delinquent fees or accept payments once the property has been turned over to the delinquent tax collecting agency.

IMPORTANT: ONLY THE CURRENT TAX YEAR is permitted to be collected in the local Moon Township Property Tax Office. After December 31, all delinquent and unpaid taxes are to be turned over to the delinquent tax collection agency depending on the tax. For Moon Township (municipal) taxes, the agency is Keystone Municipal Collections. For the Moon Area School District taxes, the agency is Law Office of IRA Weiss. Once that occurs, additional costs will be added to the 10% penalty amount of the tax by those agencies for their collection services which could increase your bill significantly.

Even though the infants were Jewish, not Christian, Christians honor them because they died for Jesus, the intended target of their brutal king. The traditional Catholic holiday may be disturbing to those who do not comprehend a feast for the martyrdom of the innocent children.
This slaughter is described in the Gospel of Matthew. It took place at the time of the visitation of the Wise Men, or Magi, "from the East." They had travelled a great distance to
Upon learning of the presence of the Magi in
After Herod consulted with the religious leaders, he learned from the Hebrew prophecies in the Tanach (Old Testament) that the Messiah would be born in
When he learned of the Magi's departure without coming back to him to reveal the child's location, Herod's true nature as a jealous king exploded.
According to Matthew, "When Herod saw that he was mocked by the Magi, he was greatly enraged, so he sent forth and had all the infant boys in Bethlehem and its suburbs killed, from two years old and under, according to the time that he had inquired from the Magi."
Such brutality shocks people who read of the massacre today, but it also causes skeptics to ask why this incident appears nowhere else in contemporary historical accounts. The lack of corroboration has been used by scholars to attack the credibility of Matthew's account.
To put an event like the massacre of infants in the context of history is a way to make sense of it. In this case it is especially important since the incident is mentioned in just one contemporary historical document: the Gospel of Matthew.
Scholarly historical analysis interestingly seems to allow those who disparage the lack of corroborative accounts as valid criticism. However, some academics tend to discredit the Bible as a trustworthy source of historical information. Yet, this appraisal is usually based upon what presuppositions one brings to the study table. Scholars of faith accept it as eyewitness testimony.
Suspension of bias, sometimes deeply embedded bias or prejudice stemming from an individual's own set of religious or non-religious education or experiences, is not easily accomplished. So, if an individual can accept the existence of God and miracles, then the Gospel of Matthew usually receives a more benign examination. On the other hand, if a person is gnostic, or is outright atheistic, and discounts the possibility of miracles, then the Gospel of Matthew is often discounted as religious fable or mythology. The evidence for this fills the pages of many texts. Unfortunately, open minds are increasingly hard to find among those whose minds are already stuffed.
A key point often overlooked by people is that the world of 2,000 years ago saw infanticide as unimportant. The Greeks often left defective or female infants to die of exposure.
Despite people believing in specific religious doctrine, they were still capable of killing their own children. Very few governments had enacted laws to prevent infanticide, and it was acceptably practiced almost everywhere and primarily the manner of death varied with the geographic region or culture. Who would raise an issue with a king who chose to kill a few children? The current estimates of the number of those infants killed through Herod's command is about 15 – 20 Hebrew children based upon the actual population of
It is important to remember within the context of history that these times were dangerous times of tyrants and usurpers of power. Herod, the "King" of the Jews, was only a tetrarch allowed to be a tyrant in limited manner over the Jewish people. Herod, a foreigner, was simply a pawn of the Roman Empire and he was allowed his measures of tyranny as long as it did not interfere with Roman dominion. However, his action of beheading his grown son even shocked the Roman Emperor, Augustus. The historian Macrobius relates that when Augustus learned about Herod's murder of his own son, he said: "It is better to be Herod's hog, than his son."
The comments of Emperor Augustus demonstrate an understanding of King Herod's ruthlessness. It also shows the Emperor's awareness of Jewish law as he sarcastically alludes to the law of not eating pork, and consequently not killing swine.
Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian, also acknowledged Herod's cruelty, as when he singled out individuals for public execution as well as the mass slaughter of opponents in the last years of his reign. But, he does not mention the slaughter of the children of
This year in the United States, there was politically motivated media uproar surrounding the Trayvon Martin shooting incident in
This Massacre of the Innocents was not beyond the ruthless King Herod. Fear of a rival king sought by the Magi, enemies of the Romans who installed Herod as King, he ordered the murder of the baby boys.
In a world of treachery, Herod the Great could get away with murder. This incident is eerily parallel to the story of Pharaoh, who ordered Hebrew midwives to kill all Hebrew sons at birth to ensure the continued enslavement of the Hebrew people in Egypt.
Thank God America is a nation founded upon the fundamental principles of the unalienable rights of Life,
Perhaps, as President Obama told the world, America is no longer a Christian nation. It may be time to re-think this point in light of the American "massacre of the innocents."

The Republic has died. Let's decide how to commemorate those responsible. Post your ideas!
Summary: Here we discuss the hidden history of our generation (hidden to us, obvious to future generations). At the end we announce a contest. What kind of monument best commemorates the two men responsible for killing the Constitution?
It lived only in our hearts. At first government officials moved beyond the Law in secret (organizations such as the CIA were explicitly setup to do this). Then they leaked their deeds, testing for acceptance. Now they boast, rewarded by our applause (enthusiastic acceptance).
The Presidential campaign provides its wake, as candidates boast how they'll take us into the post-Republic era. Obama has an advantage, as he can boast what he's done to destroy the Constitution. About killing by drones, about the execution of bin Laden. As we see in yesterday's advertisement pretending to be news in the New York Times: "Secret 'Kill List' Proves a Test of Obama's Principles and Will".
We'll see the movie later this year of a heavily-armed special operations team executing a old man.
The November election will provide a plebiscite ratifying the death of the Founders' dream, as we passively choose between two candidates each devoted to building the post-Constitutional America.
But if you are most people in the United States, your reaction is much more likely to be, good, I'm glad they are killing the bad guys, and I'm glad they're thinking hard about who they're killing and why before they do it. Clearly the administration wants to get across a message to the public that there is a serious process, even if the circumstances for making targeting decisions are novel.
— "The Secret 'Kill List' and the President", Kenneth Anderson, Volokh Conspiracy, 29 May 2012
This quiet coup was done quietly. Without force, without public opposition. Each step has been in the news. If there was a conspiracy, than we are the co-conspirators.
The book argues that the Madisonian system of separation of powers has eroded beyond recognition and been replaced with a system of executive primacy (which others have called the "imperial presidency") in which Congress and the courts play only a marginal role.
— Executive Unbound: After the Madisonian Republic, Eric Posner (Prof Law, U Chicago) and Adrian Vermeule (Prof Law, Harvard). You can download the first chapter at Amazon. Here is Posner's summary at the Volokh Conspiracy.
On another day we will discuss what we can do next. Today we can commemorate those most responsible for this historic event, the two men who changed the course of a great nation: George Bush Jr and Usama bin Laden. Partners in crime; perhaps some day Hollywood will made a action flick with them as odd couple buddies.
Bin Laden staged what might be the most effective single military operation in western history. Perhaps in world history. For details see:
- Was 9/11 the most effective single military operation in the history of the world?, 11 June 2008
- The vital things to know about 9-11, painful and so seldom mentioned today, 12 September 2011
Bush Jr was the President who most strongly changed America since Lincoln, second only to FDR (who navigated America through the Great Depression and WWII, laying the foundation for the awesome successes of the next two generations). He seized the opportunity bin Laden created, bringing bin Laden's dream to fruition. The US destroyed as a beacon, rebuilt as a tottering over-extended enemy of Islam. At this rate we might unify the Islamic peoples — against us.
These men will be remembered for a thousand years as the political power hitters of the 21st century, along with their counterparts of the 20th century — Lenin, Hitler, and Mao. Historians will ask why the top guns were all evil.
Now for some fun
We should remember these men who destroyed two centuries of work and sacrifice. What kind of monument do they deserve in Washington DC? Please post your ideas in the comments! Here are two ideas to start the contest.
- A giant marble hand, center finger thrust into the air — a pillar higher than the Washington monument.
- Statues of both men, arms clasped, staring out to the horizon — seeing we know not what.
For more information
There are dozens of posts documenting the fantastically rapid decline and fall of the Second Republic. See them all at the FM Reference page America – how can we stop the quiet coup now in progress?

At the center, the American family, the mother, the father, and the children — all healthy, clean and looking to the future, standing proud, while surrounded below by the Falluja dead from phosphorous shells, those tortured at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, the corpses of those killed by soldiers, by drones, by bombs, all of them, twisted with pain of their final moments. Our enemies, their spirits broken, shivering and cowering in fear and despair.

I'm young and I'm angry, but It's not just the elite that we need to worry about. It's them that need to worry about us. As long as they continue to take away our rights and push us further and further into indentured servitude, the more of us will make it our priority to not support such a system. And as more and more people continue to wake up the less people the elite will have as support for keeping this empire standing. If America falls, where can these elites go?
And if you say a sort of Tyrannical Oligarchy/Plutocracy will be able to run without the people's support, how long will it take before a revolution springs up? I tend to believe that Americans will only be able to take so much before before we throw a fit – I mean we are used to having it our way all the time. I guess I still have faith in the American people somewhat. They may be lulled/sedated by modern media/entertainment, but at least we tend to get emotional when one of our own are severely mistreated by government (I think). Am I too hopeful?
But anyway, as for the monument: I say have a statue built with Usama behind his wife pointing a hangun (doesn't matter what kind) at Bush Jr. with a burning constitution popped out of the gun!

How arrogant to assume the epitaph of the United States will be ascribed to (y)our blog. And, to completely ignore the LBJ and Nixon contributions to enhancing non-elected federal power shows the FM affinity for histrionics.
"Bush Jr was the President who most strongly changed America since Lincoln, second only to FDR (who navigated America through the Great Depression and WWII, laying the foundation for the awesome successes of the next two generations)"
The reactive opinions on FM are truly going down hill.
Pluto permalink31 May 2012 11:52 am
Aesop, you are right that LBJ and Nixon vastly expanded non-elected federal power but you forget that LBJ flamed out because of Vietnam (richly deserved) and Nixon was not only caught but punished for his crimes, which firmed up the republic for a while longer.
Bush is unique because he did it in plain sight and got rewarded for it, thus blazing the trail for future presidents. Another unique factor about Bush is that he is a very moral man in many respects but so astoundingly clueless about other people and their intentions that he was easily manipulated. As near as I can tell, he finally started realizing in 2006 just how badly he had handled the situation and tried to repair some of the damage but was very ineffective. Probably the best that can be said of him in his last two years is that he stopped actively trying to do harm.
The sad thing is that Obama seemed like a reasonable counter to Bush in 2008 but has proven to be a secret partner in evil instead. The NY Times article has proven what I have grown to suspect, Obama is a remarkably amoral man who is far more concerned with preserving all of his options than in the morality of any of them.
I am beginning to think that electing Mitt Romney is our next best step because Obama has grown more cynical as he has learned to master Washington politics. Obama in his second term will likely be more effective (as George Bush was, even after he sent Cheney to the cellar) and I don't think we need even more amoral cynicism in the White House than already exists there. Admittedly Romney is no treat but at least he will be relatively ineffective.

Upon what evidence are these claims of yours based, Plato? At least in my opinion, Bush was far from being a moral man (I'm far from being the only person who thinks so) — and although I do think he was "clueless about other people and their intentions" in many ways, I frankly refuse to believe that Bush was the sort of naive and innocent victim that your words seem to portray him as being.
Granted, Bush was probably not "the Decider" that he portrayed himself to be and there was probably a fair amount of manipulation going on behind the scenes from the likes of people such as Cheney and Rumsfeld — I'm not disputing that — but I very much doubt that Bush was so oblivious that this went on without his awareness and consent. I also see very little persuasive evidence that Bush "finally started realizing in 2006 just how badly he had handled the situation." Signing the Military Commissions Act in October of 2006 was not the action of someone who was trying to "repair some of the damage"(!)…especially considering the ruling by the US Supreme Court in Boumediene v. Bush that the MCA's suspension of habeus corpus was unconstitutional.
If Bush came to any realization of his mistakes in 2006 (and I'm not entirely convinced this is so), it was most likely forced upon him from outside by the drubbing which the Republican Party received in the election that year (which he himself later described as a "thumping") — for the first time in the entire history of the United States, not one Republican managed to unseat a Democratic incumbent at the federal or gubernatorial level — instead of coming to him as the result of greater self-awareness.
sglover permalink31 May 2012 8:08 pm
Here's evidence that Bush the Lesser finally did begin to learn a thing or two: "U.S. Rejected Aid for Israeli Raid on Iranian Nuclear Site", New York Times, 11 January 2009.
So it only took the man-child eight years to figure out that while it's easy to waltz into a war, getting out is a whole different thing. Precocious!
My vote's with the Bush-bin Laden sculpture. I can't think of any historical examples of two adversaries who worked out such a mutually beneficial symbiosis. I also have to sadly agree that Bush was one of the most profoundly transformative presidents ever. Even without his imbecilic wars, the vandalism he inflicted on public finances will be felt for a generation.

Aesop remarks: "How arrogant to assume the epitaph of the United States will be ascribed to (y)our blog." I don't believe FM ever made that assertion. What FM did say was that "There are dozens of posts documenting the fantastically rapid decline and fall of the Second Republic" and that they can be seen at the FM reference page. That appears to be a demonstrable fact. But FM didn't say that he was the only person making such posts. If you've followed this blog, you'll notice that FM frequently references Glenn Greenwald, Tom Englehardt, Chuck Spinney, and many others who've been saying essentially the same thing.
More recently, better known pundits such as Arnaud de Borchgrave have joined the chorus. See "Commentary: Alarm Bells in the U.S."
My own suggestion for a monument to 21st century America's decline would be a giant statue of a riot-armored SWAT police officer wiping his ass with the constitution of the united states while he beats an American citizen to death, even as the American citizen licks the SWAT offer's boot. The American should be morbidly obese, clutching a giant economy-sized bag of Cheetohs and wearing a T-shirt that reads FREEDOM ISN'T FREE!

The monument to Bush and Bin Laden should obviously be a Janus – Bush on one side, Bin Laden on the other – a gateway into the new American century

Or perhaps we should simply chisel Voltaire's words on a stone plinth a mile tall and light it with floolights:
"Il etait digne de notre nation de singes de regarder nos assassins comme nos protecteurs;nous sommes des mouches qui prenons le parti des araignées"
(It was worthy of our nation of monkeys to regard our assassins as protectors; we are like flies taking the side of the spiders.)

I am not quite so certain that our "founding fathers" would be all that surprised. Andrew Jackson literally ignored a SCOTUS ruling in favor of Native Americans. Earlier he had been given orders (which everyone knew he would extend) to roust out the Seminoles in Spanish-controlled Florida. He went on to basically take Florida (this was during Monroe's time, I think).
Meanwhile, the idea of killing someone without trial is not all that new. FDR targeted Yamamoto (and succeeded). We took Hawaii from the Queen. We fomented rebellion in Panama so that we could build the canal (immediately recognized the "new" government and supported the separation from Colombia).
As for a memorial…how about the tomb of the unknown soldier? Remember, these plutocrats used the military to accomplish their nefarious ends.
2 June 2012 12:09 am
Concerning your vitriol on my comments: We targeted Osama Bin Laden, although we did not declare war (formally) on Al Qaeda, they did declare war on us. That they do not wear any distinguishing uniforms is not the fault of the US, nor does it exempt them from combatant status. Thus, one could easily argue, OBL and many others, by their actions and words made themselves legitimate MILITARY targets.
When I suggested the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as a memorial, it was a suggestion that Bush and Bin Laden both caused lots of deaths, many of them probably not even acknowledged, and that such a tomb would be a fitting slap in the face of both individuals. They were responsible for the deaths of many people who will likely not be remembered–thus any memory of the two miscreants should fittingly have to include one of their greatest crimes.
As for my easily adapting to a new, problematic-laden government, would I be reading or commenting here if I was all that easily satisfied? Perhaps if I wanted to troll, but that is not me (and I happen to comment on other blogs as well including, quite often, Rubini's and The Moderate Voice).

The idea of a fuck you monument has precedents in the comic book universes. In the (DC) Vertigo comic Preacher by Garth Ennis, a minor character devotes the remainder of his life to carving the words 'FUCK YOU' into the landscape of the American desert via explosives on such a scale that they would be visible from outer space.
From Grant Morrison's Supergods: "In a move that seems prescient, [artist] Jones and I had him [the main character Noh-Varr of the title Marvel Boy] attack Manhattan, burning the words FUCK YOU into the street grid, big enough to be read from space." (p 316)
Considering these examples in light of suggestions for monuments commemorating W and bin Laden in the form of middle fingers – What's going on? Seriously.
I'm not necessarily knocking the idea, and perhaps this is off topic for "what kind of monument they deserve in Washington DC?" I don't know what they, or I (although for the most part innocent of inflicting myself on others on such a scale) for that matter, deserve.
Here's an idea for what sort of a monument Ground Zero and citizens of the world deserve, though:
That's ok if you don't watch it, it's not going to be built anyway. But it sure beats my own idea of constructing 4 replicas of the world trade center towers in place of the 2 that were destroyed- like when you're playing a video game and shoot an enemy and it grows like a hydra.

Great comments.And it means the US, the real US, is not quite dead yet. Plus, contrary to what some people think, there are some people in the US with a sense of humour, irony, black humour .. etc.
US Citizens never seem to grasp the impact their actions have on the rest of the World. Especially their greatest things.
In the second half of the 20th century the 2 things that had the greatest impact of all were (not the military, not the bombs, not the.. you get the idea):
(1) The civil rights movements, which created a wave of change around the world. The recent (now being hit upon hard) Arab spring is simply a recent echo of that.
All the long fought human rights movements, with all their sacrifices can all trace their origin to then.
This was revolutionary stuff, yes ordinary people could make a difference, yes they could change things. And many have and continue to do.
(2) Nixon and (yes FM it was a bit ramshackle but it still worked) a President was brought down by the forces of the law. That is another one of the most revolutionary things that has ever happened. Though by the standards of today, Nixon was a saint.
'Top people accountable'? Never happens. Taxes … and laws … are for the little people. But there was the US, with all the issues it had (as everyone else in the World knew), brought a powerful President to heel .. as it should.
I originally come for the UK and remember watching the TV (telly as we called it) late at night of all the hearings in Congress. This was a true democratic system in action. The US at its peak. Something we could only dream about in the UK.
There are a lot of idealists in the US, possibly more per head of population than anywhere else. And by and large they are good idealists (though quite a few are a bit ignorant about the rest of World, but they can learn pretty quickly when they have to).
And they will be, in the end, the 'engine of recovery', from the time the US finally hits the bottom and starts to rebuild again.
Sadly the bottom is yet to be hit. But 'keep your powder dry', that time will come again. It will be the idealists and the competent (of which the US has an abundance even now) that will start the rebuilding .. just got to avoid the interim period of domestic drone strikes and 'camps' first of course.

The Mormon White Horse Prophecy: "the time would come when the Constitution and the country [USA] would be in danger of an overthrow; and … if the Constitution be saved at all, it will be by the elder of [the LDS] Church"
P.S: this is sarcasm.
From the Wikipedia entry for the White Horse Prophecy:
The White Horse Prophecy is a statement purported to have been made in 1843 by Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, regarding the future of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and the United States of America. The Latter Day Saints, according to the prophecy, would "go to the Rocky Mountains and … be a great and mighty people", identified figuratively with the White Horse described in the Revelation of John. The prophecy further predicts that the United States Constitution will one day "hang like a thread" and will be saved "by the efforts of the White Horse".

Clone them both!
This will outsource the need to use taxpayer money for public monument construction. If you want one (a B/B) you can buy and reproduce one through a tax incentive buy-back of B/B's DNA giving you a 5% reduction on overdue tax -or leniency by the Courts on tax evasion charges – or permanent citizenship [The B/B Act]. Fund raised by the sale of their DNA would be used to support Vets and their famillies. I would recommend further legislation later though, to protect these off-spring, because there could be thousands of them walking around in 40 years. That could prove a human-rights challenge (but it would be a monument).. [this is a satirical post by the way]

A Recipe for Sensory Play
We've had some warm days here in California. All other plans have been put on hold so that we can spend some time by the river. Our only agenda was to have an adventure. Okay, and maybe enjoy some sensory play.
Natural things like water, mud, sand, and flowers in limitless amounts. Only hands, feet, and curiosity to drive the play.

these are gorgeous pictures marisa!!! i must know where the river is?!
we too love our outdoor sensory play with nothing but sand and flowers and mud isn't that always the most fun?
have a great weekend!!
