With the economy in crisis and 16,500 Americans losing their jobs each day, Congress acted rapidly, transparently, and responsibly to pass an economic recovery package for American families. The bill is not perfect and may yet be improved, but it is a reasonable and decisive step out of economic chaos. I voted for H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, because our families and localities need this lifeline.
This past week the House of Representatives considered the so called "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act". This legislation, which will cost the American taxpayers more than $1.1 trillion including interest, is just another example of wasteful Washington spending at its worst disguised as an economic stimulus bill. The goal of this legislation was to provide tax relief to families and invest in infrastructure. Unfortunately, the legislation has been loaded up with pork barrel spending like $600 million to buy new cars for government workers, $44 million for
The Bedford Museum and Genealogical Library has honored those that have made history in the past. This year the Museum is honoring those that are making history today.
Bedford is proud of Charles Nelms, Sergeant of the Bedford Police Dept. Nelms was born in Body Camp and attended Body Camp Elementary School. After graduating from Staunton River High School he served three years in the Marines achieving the rank of Corporal. Charles is serving his 23rdrd year in the Bedford Police Dept.
Are there 1,840 things wrong with Virginia? That's how many bills legislators filed for this year's General Assembly session. Every one of those bills proposes some change to the Code of Virginia, the laws that govern our commonwealth. Every bill, however, will not become law.
The refusal of the Republican Party in the House to support President Obama's economic stimulus bill raised a basic question about the GOP as the new president attempts to carry out the mandate he was given.
Will Republicans work with the president or will they continue to rely upon the failed policies - and the wrong-headed notions behind those policies - that got them beaten so badly in November?
I'm not sure exactly what the "Democrat'" stimulus plan will stimulate beyond the national debt. It threatens to open a deficit chasm that will make the Bush deficits look like ruts in an unpaved country road by comparison. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner ought to think twice about antagonizing China with accusations of currency manipulation as we are going to need them to buy up all this debt the Treasury will be issuing. But, maybe Geithner didn't really mean that and just made an honest mistake.
According to newly sworn-in President Barack Obama, he won and those who disagree with his initiatives are just going to have to learn to deal with it.
President Barack Obama's inauguration, last week, was historic. For one thing, he's America's first black president. It's historic because there are still people alive who can remember a time when the only way a black man would have gotten into the Oval Office would have been to clean it.

While away, I thought a lot about where I am and where I want to be. My vision is easily clouded under "business-as-usual" circumstances. So, the break came at a good time.
The Blog
When I started the blog several years ago, it was fun. I was busy creating things and doing projects around our home - still am. I always said that I would continue blogging as long as I enjoyed it - which I do.
I want you to be comfortable here and to be inspired. Sound good? That said, I may be posting with less frequency, but hopefully with more meaning and purpose.
Around Our Home
Blogging is fun because it pushes me to try things that might be too risky with a client. I like being the guinea pig, but am ready to settle down so that I can really focus on my work. That said, I have been sifting through countless images over the break really studying rooms and trying to find myself - or at least my most favorite decorating style. As much I LOVE working with my wonderful clients, sometimes I do not have time to think about our own home.
The holiday break gave me time to carefully consider what I like to see on a daily basis. I'm sure that my design buddies can agree that sometimes we are tired of seeing patterns & colors before the rest of the world embraces them. Guess it just comes with the territory. I have a plan in place for our home - just fine tuning really, which I will share on the blog. However, I do have a couple of pretty big projects in the works. More on that later. Also, Rick and I went through closets and drawers and purged like crazy! I have listed furniture and a rug on Craigslist as well as a few things on Ebay. We dropped off several boxes of stuff at the Goodwill trailer. Paring down never felt better!
All this to say...
I'm back. Re-freshed & focused.

AIA Calls for Sobriety in Defense Budget Talks Says it's Time to "Put Cards on Table"Jul. 15, 2011
Marion Blakey, president and CEO of the Aerospace Industries Association, today responded to the president's remarks on defense spending.
"For months, there have been calls from a number of quarters for severe cuts that would undermine our dominance in the skies, fail to recognize the dynamic and changing security realities that we face in an age of asymmetrical warfare and which would undermine our industrial base and research capabilities for decades.
"Instead of hiding behind abstract numbers pulled from thin air, it's time for everyone to put their cards on the…

We export chopsticks to China? Yes, believe it or not, we do. Seems an entrepreneur in South Georgia realized that the poplar and sweet gum trees that grow by the thousands down there make almost perfect chopsticks. The wood is flexible and doesn't splinter very easily. So now Georgia Chopsticks exports millions of pairs of chopsticks to China every day. Isn't it amazing how the free market can work when government keeps out of the way?
Are you sure about that, Mr. Buffett? There is a great quote by Warren Buffett in a Wall Street Journal article on why billionaires should donate more to charity while they can. "You're thinking more clearly at 70 years old then [sic] when you're 95, with Anna Nicole Smith sitting on your lap," the Sage of Omaha said. If it weren't for his willful blindness about Obama's tax-the-rich schemes (which I wrote about last week), you know what? I'd probably agree with him.
Hotel fires employee for wearing a U.S. flag pin. The Casa Monica Hotel, one of the historic hotels in St. Augustine, Fla., fired an employee for wearing a lapel pin of the U.S. flag. It seems hotel policy declares that "no other buttons, badges, pins or insignias of any kind are permitted to be worn." Here's an idea: Instead of banning a flag pin, how about encouraging employees to wear one? Guess which policy the public would like better?
Trying to shoot the messenger. After Standard & Poor's recognized the obvious and downgraded Federal debt, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it was launching an investigation of S&P's rating of subprime debt. And the Justice Department said it was launching its own investigation of suspected criminal activity by the firm. Does anyone think these are not retaliation for the debt downgrade? But where has the national press been on this story?

MASSENA A foreign language teacher, a half-time social studies teacher and a guidance counselor were among the positions restored Thursday night by the Massena Central School District Board of Education.
The board voted to reinstate Joseph Mittiga as the half-time high school social studies teacher at a salary of $21,962, Van Alexander to the guidance counselor position at a salary of $58,474 and an unnamed foreign language teacher.
Board members also opted not to reinstate Claudeen Watkins from her full-time keyboard specialist position to her previous human resources specialist position. Instead Ms. Watkins will remain as a keyboard specialist and the district will hire one more keyboard specialist, acting Superintendent Stephen M. Putman said.
In addition, board members voted to combine two Massena Building Administrators Association positions, allowing Athletic Director Timothy J. Hayes also to serve as dean of students at J. William Leary Junior High School.
I recognize this could be a bit of a challenge, Mr. Putman said, suggesting that the move be monitored to see how it plays out.
A resolution to reinstate a management confidential position was scratched from the list of recommended actions after board members returned from an executive session that stretched for nearly an hour.
Board members also voted to reinstate two food service workers for two hours a day. One was a food service motor vehicle operator, and the other was a food service helper.
Mr. Putman said the 2013-14 budget had cut three foreign language teachers out of nine, and when officials decided to reinstate one of those positions, they had to offer it the person with the most seniority who was certified for the job. He said the person who was reinstated Thursday night is certified in French but must be certified to teach Spanish before the start of the school year.
Spanish teacher Joseph Boyle, who chairs that department, had told board members in June that one of his concerns with the cuts was that teachers would be asked to instruct outside of their area of familiarity.
Youre asking a Spanish or French teacher to teach a language theyre not really trained for. We dont think its good for students, he had told board members.
Mr. Boyle had said he was also concerned about class sizes, pointing out that a study had determined class sizes above 25 in foreign languages was a serious detriment to learning.
The half-time social studies teacher position was restored because of concerns about class sizes. Mr. Mittiga, whose position had been eliminated in the budget, had also shared his concerns with board members in June, noting he was concerned about having teachers instructing in an unfamiliar area.
You are currently proposing next year that two social studies courses be taught by an English teacher, he had told them, noting the district had highly qualified social studies teachers who are currently laid off.
The guidance counselor position was restored because of concerns about the ratio of high school students to counselors. There are nearly 900 kids in high school and only three guidance counselors scheduled to be there, Mr. Putman said.
It was the second consecutive month that positions were reinstated in the district.
During their June meeting, school board members also reinstated several positions after reviewing their projected end-of-year expenses. Former Finance Committee Chairman Michael J. LeBire, who finished his term in June, had recommended that seven positions that had previously been abolished during the boards April 22 meeting be reinstated.
They included one alternative education liaison position, three reading teaching assistant positions, one psychologist position that was scheduled to become a BOCES position, a one-half business teacher position, a one-half mathematics teacher position and one English teacher position.
Facing a $5.6 million gap in their 2013-14 spending plan, district officials had eliminated 29.25 full-time equivalent positions.

Over the years Mike Hargrove Field in Perryton has been a tough place for the Borger Bulldog Varsity Baseball team. But after run ruling the Perryton Rangers in their first District 1-3A meeting on March 31st, the Bulldogs entered Tuesday's contest in Perryton with feeling confident about getting a win and putting their woes in Perryton behind them.
Unfortunately, the Rangers home field once again proved to be hard place for the Bulldogs to leave with a win, as Perryton pulled away for the 10-0 win in five innings.
The Bulldogs struggled to get much going offensively by only having four hits in the game. However, it was a different story for the Rangers, as the home team used a grand slam to take a 0-4 lead after the first inning.
In the top of the second inning, singles by Chayse Tracy and Clay Ellis put the Bulldogs in scoring position with no outs. But the two Bulldog base runners would be left stranded, as the Rangers used two ground outs and a strikeout to get off the field without giving up a run.
Perryton added two runs in both the second and third innings, before forcing the ten-run rule in the fifth inning with the help of a lead off home run and a fielding error brought in the final run of the game.
The loss drops the Bulldogs to 3-2 in district, while Perryton improves to 3-2.
The Bulldogs will try to rebound on Saturday when they travel to take on the Pampa Harvesters at noon in Pampa.
Borger 000 00-0 4 3
Perryton 422 02-10 8 0

CUMBERLAND – The elite seedings for this weekend's state wrestling championships bear out the dual-meet rankings for the regular season.
Unbeaten Cumberland, the defending state team champion, collected four No. 1 seeds. Cranston West earned three, as did Warwick Veterans. East Providence was honored with two top seeds – sophomore heavyweight Jonah Aurelio and senior 160-pounder Jared Burrows. Bishop Hendricken, also expected to contend for the team title, got one.
CUMBERLAND – The elite seedings for this weekend's state wrestling championships bear out the dual-meet rankings for the regular season.
Unbeaten Cumberland, the defending state team champion, collected four No. 1 seeds. Cranston West earned three, as did Warwick Veterans. East Providence was honored with two top seeds – sophomore heavyweight Jonah Aurelio and senior 160-pounder Jared Burrows. Bishop Hendricken, also expected to contend for the team title, got one.
Two-time state champions Shaidai and Shoneil Lariviere of Cumberland received their customary top seeds for the third year in a row, this time at 119 and 125 pounds, respectively. The Clippers also got No. 1 seeds at 145 (Nick Maccini) and 189 (Tom Lacroix).
"I think the seedings were fair," Cumberland coach Steve Gordon said. "I'm pleased we got four No. 1s and I like our brackets in a lot of weight classes."
The team title generally goes to the group that gets place-winning performances from approximately half of its 14-man lineup so what happens with the top seeds is just icing on the cake. The majority of top seeds reach the finals. That's why they're ranked No. 1. The foundation for team championships is laid before the finals begin, as beaten teammates try to score points in the consolation rounds, where the incentive is to finish as high as third in their weight class.
This year's tournament begins at 5 p.m. on Friday at the Providence Career and Technical Academy fieldhouse on Westminster St. The quarterfinals will be wrestled later on in the evening. The semifinals are scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday. That's when the team race begins to take shape. The semifinal losers then drop into the consolation bracket, hoping to wrestle their way back to third place and accrue valuable team points along the way.
This tournament, tight as it appears to be among the top three or four teams, should come down to the outcome of Saturday night's individual weight class finals that are scheduled to begin around 7:30 p.m. (Ceremonies begin at 7 p.m. with introduction of past champions and the national anthem.)
The Lariviere twins will each be going after their third individual state titles. Both are undefeated inside the state and are ranked highly in New England circles. Shai's top competition should come from East Providence's Jacob Burrows, who is seeded second. Burrows moved up two weight classes when E.P. wrestled Cumberland during the dual-meet season.
Shoneil Lariviere has a similar situation at 125 pounds. E.P.'s Joao Vicente is the second seed here. Vicente has the tougher draw. If form holds true, he will meet defending 103-pound state title Mike Murphy of North Providence in the semifinals. Shoneil should meet Warwick Vets' Devin Hurst, whom he decked in the dual-meet last week.
Cumberland's Nick Maccini lost only one match at 145 pounds this season to a Rhode Islander. Defending state champion Everett Desilets of Cranston West moved up from 140 to beat Maccini earlier this month. Desilets is the top seed at 140 this week.
"Nick Maccini is our most improved wrestler this season," Steve Gordon said. "He did a lot of work at camps, he did a lot of lifting, and he learned how to win matches. Last year, he just couldn't get over the top. He figured it out this year."
The fourth Cumberland top seed, Tom Lacroix, might have been the team's most valuable wrestler (not counting the twins). Lacroix won several key matches at 215. He is a tall, lanky wrestler "who is hard to get away from," to use Gordon's words. Lacroix lost a tournament match in triple-overtime to Hendricken's Jeff Techentin, who is seeded third this week. He also lost to South Kingstown's Kevin Stone, who is injured and won't wrestle.
At 215, Ponaganset's Nathan Gould is seeded second behind Ryan Smith of South Kingstown.
"Gould is a big 215-pounder," Gordon said. "My guy (Andre Lussier) meets Gould in the preliminary round on Friday night."
Lussier is seeded fifth in the weight class.
At heavyweight, Aurelio, just a sophomore, will compete in a division that always seems to produce upsets. Tolman's Jared Battersby is among the darkhorses to watch for. Warwick Veterans' Pearce Thompson is the second seed. Cumberland's Josh Delannoy, 12-4 during the regular season, is seeded fourth.
"It's going to be a really competitive tournament," Gordon predicted. "I think it will come down to which is the 'hot' team. Wrestling is a sport of momentum and that's a big part of the state tournament."
Cranston West, which had won four straight team titles before Cumberland broke through for its second win in six years last February, could build some momentum from its three top seeds – Ricondo Cole (135), Desilets (140) and Alex Pratt (152). Cole and Desilets won state titles last year.
Warwick Veterans leads with three-time champion Mike Meyers, who is seeded No. 1 at 130 pounds, ahead of Cumberland sophomore Erik Travers. The two wrestled last week in a match that was ruled a double default when Meyers, who shouldn't have stepped on the mat due to a finger injury, had to yield in the second period.
"What did I learn from that match?" Gordon asked. "I think we saw that you have to be very, very careful when you wrestle Mike Meyers. He is so dangerous. But I did like the movement that Erik showed when Meyers was riding him. It wasn't a case of Erik having his stomach flat to the mat."
Travers can't afford to look ahead. He has to wrestle each match as it comes, methodically going about his business, and only worrying about facing Meyers when and if the opportunity comes on Saturday night.
Bishop Hendricken has an odds-on favorite at 112 pounds in freshman Matia Alvarez, who could be the next great lightweight coming out of Rhode Island.
"He's legit," Gordon said.
Cumberland's Kody Beaudette is the second seed at 103 and gave top seed John Altieri of Warwick Vets a reasonable battle during their dual-meet matchup earlier this month.
Warwick Vets also has the No. 1 seed at 171 pounds in Nick Salois. The Hurricanes are a deep team in terms of talent and could match Cumberland across the board when it comes to picking up consolation round points from its entire lineup. Both teams are short only in two or three weight classes. The same could be said for Cranston West.
East Providence coach Tom Galligan has always been a master of preparing his elite wrestlers for state title runs and this tournament should be no different. With two top seeds and two No. 2s, the Townies are positioned for a top five finish in the team race. They possibly could edge out Hendricken for fourth place when the smoke clears on Saturday night. Or, if things don't go well, they might fall back to seventh or eighth place.
That's the beauty of the state tournament. This is a volatile format that can blow up when mistakes are made and favored wrestlers find themselves staring at the lights after trying to make a clever move. Tournament wrestling is about patience, especially against a dangerous opponent.
"It's going to be a great tournament," Steve Gordon said, knowing full well that his state title team last year clinched its trophy when Cameron Glad scored a victory in the 171-pound championship final.
The Clippers beat Warwick Vets by six team points last year. This year's tournament should be just as close. Look for Cranston West and Warwick to put a lot of pressure on Cumberland during Saturday's competition.

And a Rivalry is Born
Brian DiMenna
When this season began, the potential blooming rivalry between the Nets and Knicks was one of the more frequently discussed storylines. I'll admit, it was one I wasn't even all that excited about, with the prospect of another inner-city conflict leaving me all, "Can't we all just get along?" The welcome respite from crosstown hatreds that was basketball season had always been a looked forward to cooling of tensions, when Jet and Giant, Yankee and Met, could sit around at the table of brotherhood and root on the Knicks.
There was also the sense that this was largely a media creation. Despite spending years within only a few miles of each other, a Nets/Knicks rivalry had never blossomed before, with neither team ever clicking at the same time, nor really concerning themselves with the other all that much. So it was fair to wonder whether this alleged Brooklyn horde was really going to arise out of the ether.
But ultimately, fans and media don't really create rivalries, players do. And for all the talk coming from both sides that this was just another game, their play spoke otherwise. It was decided on that court last night that this is a game that matters. Amongst themselves, two teams made clear that there are stakes in these proceedings, and that who wins the battle of New York is a thing we should care about.
It certainly meant something for Carmelo Anthony, who didn't just want to win this game, he demanded it. Melo's much ballyhooed Brooklyn roots has often felt a little forced, as a way to make us all feel like he's really one of us. But for all the contrivance of his "Welcome Home" video blaring at MSG, Melo made clear it was authentic to him. He wanted to win in his hometown. He made certain we knew that it matters.
And so a rivalry is born, in the most organic way possible. Because no matter how much hype you throw around, or fake narrative we create, it only matters if it translates to that court. You can't fake what happened last night.
So the Knicks won another regular season game, though I suppose Brooklyn won a little something too. For years, the Nets just wanted everyone to notice them, "Hey! Look over here! We have uniforms and everything," a validation they may have finally earned.
We see you, Brooklyn. And now we must crush you. This should be fun.

Fifty Shades Freed (Fifty Shades Trilogy #3)by E L James
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
When unworldly student Ana Steele first encountered the driven, damaged young entrepreneur Christian Grey, it sparked a sensual affair that changed both their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and ultimately repelled by Christian's singular sexual tastes, Ana demanded a deeper commitment; determined to keep her, Christian agreed. Now, together, they have more—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of infinite possibilities. But Ana always knew that loving her Fifty Shades would not be easy and being together poses challenges neither of them ever anticipated. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian's opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own integrity, identity, or independence; Christian must somehow overcome his compulsion to control and lay to rest the horrors that blighted his past and haunt his present. Just when it seems that together their love can conquer any obstacle, tragedy, malice and fate combine to make Ana's worst nightmares come true. Alone and desperate, she must face down the poisoned legacy of Christian's past. Seductive, shocking, sad, and funny, Fifty Shades Freed is the compelling final volume in the Fifty Shades trilogy.

The idea for Mount Rushmore was conceived in 1924, when South Dakota's state historian contacted sculptor Gutzon Borglum about creating a sculpture out of a rock formation in the Black Hills. Borglum liked the idea and proposed that former presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln serve as the main subjects for the massive mountainside sculpture. That initial idea grew to include Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt.
Mount Rushmore is many things – monument, memorial, landmark – but the towering sculpture of those towering leaders also reflects something more. As Borglum put it, Mount Rushmore "bears witness, carries the likeness, the dates, a word or two of the great things we accomplished as a nation."
FOUR GIANTS. Washington was more than just a president. He was a warrior, his silhouette reminding us that our liberty and independence come at a price – and that the best way to avoid paying that price in blood is to pay it in preparedness. "There is nothing so likely to produce peace," he counseled, "as to be well prepared to meet an enemy."
Washington also represents the birth of what he called a "nascent empire" – a global power. Yet his stoic gaze warns against "entanglements" with foreign lands, providing a constant reminder that America is exceptional. As he put it, "Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course" than the Old World.
Washington himself pursued a different course. So revered was he that he could have been president for life or some sort of benign military monarch. If anyone was bigger than the republic, it was Washington, the father of our country. But his actions made it clear to his successors that no president is bigger than the republic. He resisted the temptation to amass personal power and bowed to the rule of law, setting crucial precedents on executive power, time in office and civilian control over the military.
Jefferson represents America's founding document, the Declaration of Independence, which declared to the world that "all men are created equal" and endowed by God with a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of what each defines as happiness. Jefferson's masterpiece was more than America's birth certificate, more than an announcement that the New World was ready to govern itself. It was the flame that lit the furnace of what he called "an empire of liberty." Indeed, Jefferson's assertive foreign policy expanded America westward, defended U.S. interests on the far side of the world, and made it clear to friend and foe alike that America would fight for its rightful place among the nations.
Just as Washington set lasting precedents in how he left office, Jefferson set them in how he entered office. His election marked the nation's first transfer of power from one party to another. It was a peaceful transfer, yet that was anything but inevitable. The election was bitterly fought, and the outcome was uncertain for weks. During the long stalemate, there was talk among Jefferson's opponents of transferring presidential authority to a Senate designee or leaving the office vacant. There were even fears of civil unrest.
But Jefferson patiently waited for the system to work. After dozens of ballots, a majority of House delegations chose him to lead the nation.
"We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists," he said poignantly in his inaugural address, thus laying the foundation for a political system where winners are not coronated like kings and losers are not treated like defeated enemies.
More than half a century would pass before the promise of Jefferson's masterpiece was fulfilled.
Lincoln initially focused on preserving the Union – as he famously explained in 1862, "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it" – but somewhere between Bull Run and Appomattox, Lincoln realized that saving the Union required America to extirpate the original sin of slavery.
"If God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword," he declared during his second inaugural, driving home his point and his own transformation by quoting Psalm 19: "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."
In abolishing slavery, Lincoln finished what was left undone at the founding. In laying out his vision for postwar peace, Lincoln reminded us of our responsibilities to those who fight and die for America: "to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan." And in preserving the Union, Lincoln transformed America from a collection of independent states into one nation – the "last, best hope of earth."
Finally, Roosevelt embodies America's entry on the world stage as a force for good. By building the Panama Canal, he connected east and west. By forging a truly global Navy, he wielded a "big stick" that projected U.S. power and deterred America's enemies.
Indeed, his policies provide a timeless example of how to deter war by being fully prepared to wage it. "We infinitely desire peace," Roosevelt declared, echoing Washington. "And the surest way of obtaining it is to show that we are not afraid of war."
Roosevelt also taught his successors that global leadership demands more than pursuing simple self-interest, that in becoming a great power the United States should not stop being a good neighbor. So he challenged America to resist "coldblooded indifference to the misery of the oppressed." Even when "our own interests are not greatly involved," he declared, there are times to act "in the interest of humanity at large."
Roosevelt's was the last visage completed. The monument was dedicated just weeks before Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor – a symbolic parenthesis to America's time of inward-looking isolation.
HEADROOM? To the novice, there appears to be plenty of room for more super-sized sculptures to the right of Lincoln. But National Park Service officials note that Borglum's son, who completed the project, concluded that the elder Borglum's design exhausted the carveable rock. Moreover, geoengineers are unsure how new excavations would affect the existing sculpture.
Geology aside, the nature of the monument – four U.S. leaders representing four distinct eras of U.S. history – has always invited discussion about who else belongs on Mount Rushmore. Polls suggest that Americans are open to the idea of adding another face or two. Whether or not Congress ever moves in that direction, it's an interesting thought experiment.
If the geological limitations could be overcome, the political limitations are certainly bridgeable. One can imagine a bipartisan compromise whereby a Democrat and a Republican are added.
A strong case could be made for two very different leaders: Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. One expanded and wielded the powers of government to fight the Great Depression. The other declared, "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem."
Yet despite their philosophical differences, they had much in common. Both believed deeply in U.S. exceptionalism. Both were optimists and principled pragmatists, skilled politicians and media maestros. And both used these traits to rouse America from periods of self-doubt, rally the country against existential threats, defeat brutal enemy regimes and help it achieve aims arguably as consequential as those achieved by the four men immortalized on Mount Rushmore.
DEMOCRACY'S DEFENDER. Love him as the man who ended the Great Depression and gave every ounce of himself to defeat the enemies of democracy, or hate him as the man who created the modern welfare state and called Josef Stalin "Uncle Joe," it's difficult to describe FDR as anything less than a towering historical figure.
At home, FDR launched programs aimed at reversing the Great Depression, getting America back to work, creating a safety net for tough times and laying the foundation for economic progress – everything from emergency programs like the Bank Holiday, Civilian Conservation Corps, the Works Progress Administration and other agencies to enduring programs like the Social Security Administration and Tennessee Valley Authority.
Crucially, FDR's efforts stabilized the country's political-economic infrastructure. "It was Franklin Delano Roosevelt who gave hope to a nation that was in distress and could have slid into dictatorship," Newt Gingrich once observed.
Indeed, Americans approved of Roosevelt's unprecedented government expansion and intervention, as evidenced by his victories in four presidential elections.
Overseas, FDR built the great arsenal of democracy, walked the United States back onto the international stage and steered it to a position of unmatched geopolitical power. He envisioned a postwar world founded on freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. And along with another giant of World War II, Winston Churchill, he crafted the Atlantic Charter, the principles of which still underpin the international system.
FREEDOM'S FIGHTER. The economic crisis America faced in 1980 – double-digit inflation, double-digit unemployment, double-digit interest rates – was compounded by what then-President Jimmy Carter called an "erosion of our confidence," a sense that the country was in the midst of irreversible decline.
Ever the optimist, Reagan believed that America's greatest days were yet to come. The key, in his view, was reviving the economy by cutting nondefense spending, eliminating unnecessary regulation, revamping the tax code and unshackling America's free-enterprise system.
The formula worked, as the nation enjoyed an unbroken 92-month stretch of economic expansion, an 18-percent increase in disposable income and a halving of unemployment.
With the economy reawakened, Reagan had the resources to outspend, outbuild, outmaneuver and outlast the Soviet empire. He challenged Americans to think of the Cold War not as a permanent condition to be managed but as a struggle between freedom and tyranny – one that could be won.
"The West will not contain communism," he promised in 1981. "It will transcend communism ... a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written."
Toward that end, he put a halt to the moral relativism and accommodation that had set in after a decade of detente. Reagan rebuilt a demoralized military, armed anti-communist rebels, rolled back Soviet expansionism, challenged the legitimacy of the Soviet state and used rhetoric like a weapon: "Beware the temptation of ... blithely declaring yourselves above it all and labeling both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire."
By the end of Reagan's presidency, the Cold War had melted away. Nine months later, the Berlin Wall was gone, the Soviet empire was in retreat, and America had gone from a nation in decline into an economic-military-cultural colossus without historical parallel or geopolitical peer.
As President Barack Obama observes, "Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America." That may explain why, for almost two decades, bills have been introduced in Congress to add Reagan's face to Mount Rushmore.
BUILT TO LAST. There is more to this discussion than politics or geology, of course. Perhaps the real question is a philosophical one: is Mount Rushmore a finished product or a work in progress?
Paul Menard of the National Park Service says his agency considers it "a completed work of art." Writer Ronald Fraser, who advocates adding FDR, counters that the monument is "a running chronicle of the American experience."
Whether or not anything is ever added to Rushmore, nature won't take anything away from it for a very long time. Geologists estimate that its erosion rate is barely an inch every 10,000 years.
That's a powerful metaphor for the timeless truths these men stood for – and very much in keeping with Borglum's hopes. "Let us place there," he wrote, "as close to heaven as we can, the words of our leaders, their faces, to show posterity what manner of men they were. Then breathe a prayer that these records will endure until the wind and rain alone shall wear them away."

regan was a turn coat and an actor,movie star. DON'T MESS WITH THE WALL.
would you care to expand that? Reagan a turncoat? etc.
With the deficit in the billions & many programs being cut or eliminated, why would/should we even THINK about directing more money where it does NOT need to be spent???!!!! Haven't we destroyed enough of the natural landscape already? Our "Old Man" was weakened & eventually collapsed because of blasting to extend I93 through Franconia Notch here in NH - do we really want to take the chance of weakening the existing "heads" at Rushmore????
What about MLK, not a president but did as much if not more to change the history of this country and make it a country who does shout freedom for all much better than it was before Dr. King.
Mt Rushmore represents all that is wrong and evil in America. The concept of a joint presidents mountain is fine somewhere else.Mt Rushmore was the number one holy mountain of the American Indians throughout that area for centuries."We the people" did not extend to the owners of this land. Only white males.Return Rushmore. The Presidents were WMDs for the Souix.
Asolutely! Someday he will be properly recognized for saving the world from nuclear destruction.
the talk is moot. there is not enough rock to do another face. you story is all most correct but you need to do a little more back ground you have a number of things twisted. but needless to say a park service that refused to cut the 60 ft trees under the faces on the rock pile will not do anything else up there.
IF we put JFK up there then we have to put MM up there too
My first thought was Ronald Reagan as my first choice. JFK would be my second choice
Leave the monument as is because it is a completed historical work.
In other words it ain't broke so don't try to fix it.
ron reagan
Reagan would be a disgrace. He is probably one of the worst presidents in history, if not no.1 Most people are totally ignorant on the damage this man did to the country. Leave it alone.
You are an idiot and apparently a communist too!
Hand down - Ronnie!
Interesting article - thanks.
It's also interesting to note that at least two of the four presidents on Mount Rushmore were Deists, that is, they believed in God based on the application of their reason and the laws and designs in Nature and rejected unreasonable claims and ideas. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were both Deists. It is believed by many that Abe Lincoln was a Deist, too.
Progress! Bob Johnson
World Union of Deists
No double, Ronald Reagan
Pres. Ronald Reagan....would be my choice.
The monument as it now exists, I believe should be left as is. It's a tribute to the four presidents exhibited. No one appears to object to the original carvings, but because of the current evidence of strong partisonship, any additions would most likely disturb the attitude of respect now given to this American tribute.
After reflecting on your comment, I realized my opinion of who else to add was being as self centered as these other people. A hundred people could have a hundred different opinions. It's Borglum's work. Leave it as it is. One can not stand before this magnificent American monument and not feel awed. Leave it AS IT IS !

DAMARISCOTTA LAKE, Maine(NEWS CENTER) - If you're lucky enough to visit author David Rosenfelt and his wife, Debbie, don't dress up. In fact, you might want to wear your jeans, because you're guaranteed to find yourself covered with dogs.
PHOTO GALLERY: http://bit.ly/195OwOJ
The Rosenfelts currently share their home with 20 dogs, including Golden Retrievers, a Lab or two, a pair of Great Pyrenees, a large Bernese Mountain Dog and even a giant Mastiff. They set up a deafening chorus when a visitor walks through the door, but eventually calm down to occasional barks.
The Rosenfelts say their dog family began in the mid-1990's when they were living in California. After Debbie's beloved Golden named Tara died, the couple started volunteering at an animal shelter. They saw large, older dogs being left in cages or even euthanized because no one wanted them.
So the couple formed the Tara Foundation, and over time say they found homes for about 4,000 dogs. Those no one wanted, if they were friendly, went home with Debbie and David. "At one time we had 42," says David. "So 20 seems normal."
Seven years ago, after a visit to Maine, the couple decided to move here. They bought a house on Damariscotta Lake that fit a special requirement: no neighbors to disturb. They fenced in a two-acre swath of woods to make an outdoor playground for the pooches.
Two years ago, they were finally ready to make the move. David chronicles that five-day odyssey in his latest book, Dogtripping: 25 rescues, 11 Volunteers and 3 RV's. And while the author will jokingly describe the trip as "misery", Debbie says "It was one of the greatest moments of my life".
They admit the dogs are a lot of work, especially the daily outdoor cleanup and all the trips to the vet. Then there's the food. A lot of food. David says that before he left for a two-week book promotion tour, he had to buy "500 pounds of kibble".
There can also be an emotional cost. These dogs they've rescued are older dogs, some with serious medical problems. The Rosenfelts know all too well the pain of having to put dogs to sleep. "You never get used to it," says Debbie. "But you... want them to have quality of life and have dignity. So when they can't hold their stuff and can't have dignity and are despondent, you kind of know." Adds David:"And you focus on the fact that for the time you had them, they were happy and loved. And that's the best you can do, otherwise you'd go crazy."
However, it's hard to talk about that sadness when you're surrounded by all those eager, wagging, barking, boisterous dogs, craving attention and even jumping 80 pounds into your lap. And there will likely be others coming to join them in the months ahead. David says they were down to just fifteen dogs two months ago, but while he was away on that book tour, Debbie found five new dogs that needed a home. In mock frustration, he complains: " ...she goes into a shelter like she's going to Bloomingdale's. She sees an old dog that need help, says I'll take you and you and you." And so the family grows again.

An article on June 8 in the Sun Advocate regarding the coal mining surge was great.
The county can handle any population growth and new miners in the county.
In the 1940's through 1960's there were 7,000 coal miners here. There was also a total population of 29,500 citizens.
So let's have the coal mines reopen and also keep the gas industry going as well.
The county will be able to handle it fine.

IHS WPC 2014: Industry must balance push from new supply against pull of global demand
March 26, 2014 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez in Houston
The cyclicality and volatility of earnings in basic chemicals remains one of the greatest challenges facing the market, said Mark Eramo, v.p./chemical industry insight at IHS Chemical in comments at IHS Chemical's World Petrochemical Conference in Houston on Wednesday afternoon. Industry's ability to balance significant new supplies against the "demand pull" on petrochemicals from economic growth will continue to determine profitability. The near-term outlook is positive, however, with global basic chemicals and plastics on an upswing that...

Post Game: Knicks 100, 76ers 84
In Case you missed it….
Carmelo Anthony once again led the Knicks in scoring with 27 points on 10-18 shooting, adding five rebounds and two blocks.
Twelve different Knicks made it onto the score sheet, including James White (One Point), Chris Copeland (Two Points) and Rasheed Wallace with three points.
The Knicks bench was led by J.R. Smith who had 20 points and nine rebounds. The Knicks bench outscored the Sixers bench 39-24
Wallace played only 3:40 in the fourth quarter and had three points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Philly was led by Jrue Holiday with 27 points and seven assists, but lost Jason Richardson two minutes into the game with a sprained ankle.
Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton combined for 23 points, four steals, seven assists and five rebounds in their second consecutive game as the starting backcourt.
This is the first time the Knicks have started 2-0 since the 1999-2000 season and only the second time since 1954 they have held their first two opponents to 84 points or less.
With the season only two games old, The Knicks are making it clear that Madison Square Garden is no longer an easy place to play
The defensive effort has become contagious among the players, including Carmelo Anthony as he dove into the stands in the first quarter for a loose ball. They continued to keep the Sixers out of the paint like they did with Miami and forced them into a jump shooting team.
Jason Kidd was a catalyst on both ends of the floor for the team as he was able to facilitate the offense both from the point guard and two guard spot and on the defensive end with three steals and hustle plays not seen in the box score.
The Knicks bench has been brilliant these first few games and shows the kind of depth this team has which can be key for an older team like they are. 39 points today off the bench after 31 points against the Heat.
J.R Smith led the way off the bench and even though we saw "Bad J.R." at times today, "Good J.R." was out there a lot more and even had Coach Woodson yelling at him to shoot more.
Poor Thaddeus Young, he could not guard Carmelo and eventually fouled out of the game frustrated that he had no answers on stopping him.
Nick Young, who played 31 minutes off the bench and had to replace Jason Richardson's minutes after he left with an injury was -29 today. The next closer Sixer in +/- that played 30 minutes plus was Evan Turner with -9.
The start for this team could not be any better, defending home court with wins over Miami and Philly. Now they head on the road for the first time and its their first second of a back to back this year as well.
The Knicks next game will be at 7:00 pm at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia against the Sixers tomorrow.
