An Eastern Carolina native was sworn in today as the leader of the State Highway Patrol.
Col. Randy Glover took over as commander of the Highway Patrol on August first. He was sworn in officially as commander today.
Glover is a native of Nashville and a resident of New Bern.
Gov. Beverly Perdue says she had watched Glover rise through the ranks from the time he was assigned in 1987 to patrol the roads around her hometown in New Bern.
Glover is a 29-year veteran of the patrol, where trooper conduct and controversial personnel decisions have been problems. Perdue said Glover has ordered a review of the patrol's management practices and new ethics training for all supervisors.
He replaces Col. Walter Wilson Jr., who announced his retirement in June after one year in the top job.

Allegations against Bishop Charles Blake Declared False by Prominent Pastors
(Los Angeles, CA) Bishop Charles E. Blake, the presiding Bishop of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), the world's fifth largest denomination, and pastor of the West Angeles Church of God in Christ, filed a defamation lawsuit against Earl Carter, a minister within the Church of God In Christ.
As detailed in court documents filed on Friday, December 11, 2015, in Orlando, Florida, "Over the past several months, Mr. Carter has engaged, and is threatening to continue engaging, in outrageous and malicious attacks upon Bishop Blake that should be punished to the maximum extent under the law. Mr. Carter has viciously used the Internet to falsely profess to the world that, among other things, Bishop Blake is immoral, homosexual and a pedophile. Mr. Carter's goals are to destroy Bishop Blake's stellar reputation, interfere with his relationship with Church Of God In Christ, Inc. ("COGIC"), and drive visitors to Mr. Carter's websites where he seeks to illegally profit off of Bishop Blake's good name."
Uleses Henderson, General Counsel for COGIC states, "Bishop Blake refrained for several weeks from taking action against Mr. Carter hoping that Mr. Carter would have a change of heart and would, on his own, retract his false and defamatory accusations and apologize to Bishop Blake for the harm he has caused to his family. Unfortunately, Mr. Carter has not done that and, instead, has escalated the nature of his false accusations, such that they are now extremely inflammatory and reckless. Accordingly, Bishop Blake is now compelled to file this lawsuit."
The complaint continues, "Mr. Carter, who is a COGIC minister, delivered a sermon against homosexuality at the 2014 Holy Convocation, during which he made an inappropriate statement beneath the dignity of COGIC and its divine calling … As a result of Mr. Carter's inappropriate statement, COGIC received a backlash of negative publicity, from within the church and from the outside media. In his role as Presiding Bishop, spokesman and leader of COGIC, Bishop Blake publicly apologized for Mr. Carter's inappropriate statement, while reaffirming the Church's teachings about homosexuality. Mr. Carter perceived Bishop Blake's apology as throwing Mr. Carter "under the bus. Shortly after the apology, Mr. Carter embarked on a vicious campaign to attack Bishop Blake's character, ruin his reputation and have him ousted from COGIC leadership."
Henderson continues, "While COGIC believes that homosexuality is a sin, COGIC believes that the Bible commands us to speak the truth in love. Bishop Blake believed that, while Mr. Carter's overall message was consistent with COGIC's beliefs, the brash and graphic nature of some of Mr. Carter's remarks were offensive to many and did not reflect the views of COGIC. As the leader of COGIC, Bishop Blake felt that he was obligated to protect the reputation and views of the Church."
Well-respected ministers, who were mentioned in Carter's videos have offered support for Blake. The complaint notes, "In the Flyer and YouTube videos, Mr. Carter has falsely attributed various untrue and defamatory statements about Bishop Blake to certain individuals who categorically deny that any of those allegations are true, while others have no first-hand knowledge of the untruths Mr. Carter asserts to be factual…"
Specifically, Bishop Patrick Wooden, a COGIC pastor for 34 years, declares in a written document that Blake, "is a devoted family man who has been married to his wife for decades. I have spent substantial time around Bishop Blake and his family. He is heterosexual. He has never said or done anything in my presence which in any way expressed or suggested – whether explicitly or implicitly – that he is gay or sexually attracted to men, or that he had engaged in any sexual conduct with another man. Mr. Carter's accusation that Bishop Blake is a practicing homosexual is a particularly offensive and incendiary allegation…"
Wooden, who has known Blake for over 20 years, further declares: "There is not a shred of evidence to support Mr. Carter's lie that Bishop Blake is a pedophile. In the time I spent with hm, Bishop Blake has never said or done anything inappropriate around children. Mr. Carter's allegations that Bishop Blake is a pedophile and/or a child molester are outrageous and completely false. I would totally trust Bishop Blake around my own children and anyone else's."
Dr. David Wright, a medical doctor and pastor of the Community Church Of God in Christ, declared, in response to Earl Carter's repeated defamatory allegation that a grandmother confided in him about alleged improper conduct with her grandson, "Specifically, I am not privy to any information that would support Mr. Carter's charge that Bishop Blake is a pedophile or child molester. Bishop Blake has never, to my knowledge, engaged in any improper conduct with any minor, young adult, or anyone else. I am also not aware of any "grandmother" who claims that Bishop Blake molested her grandson."
Many respected preachers have submitted letters of support for Blake. The letters are located on COGIC.org. Bishop James L. Whitehead, Jr. and Bishop Roger L. Jones, who have known Blake for over 50 years, offered letters attesting to Blake's integrity since the days of his youth. Whitehead wrote, "During the 52 years I have known Bishop Blake, I have never, never, never, seen the slightest indication that he had any inclinations other than being 100% male." Jones wrote, "During our many years in this church as young ministers, I cannot say that I have observed any inappropriate behavior … At all times I have found Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. to be above reproach; any suggestions, allegations or accusations otherwise, are despicable and ungodly!"
The declaration of Wooden further pronounces, "Bishop Blake is not a thief or embezzler; he has not misused or misappropriated Church funds. COGIC is run by a Board of Directors, and its accounts are independently audited. I am not aware of any credible allegations of financial impropriety on the part of Bishop Blake, and I have never witnessed any such conduct in the almost 20 years that I have known him."
The lawsuit is an action for damages in excess of $75,000.00, as well as for injunctive relief, based on Mr. Carter's blatantly false and outrageous public statements about Bishop Blake.

Preaching against the Practice of Homosexuality is Nothing New
The Church of God in Christ since her founding has stood for and called for holiness and righteousness. The practice of homosexuality is one of several activities of mankind that the Bible and our church deem to be sinful and immoral. (I Corinthians 6:9-11). Throughout our history, our Presiding Bishop, Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. and those of us in ministry have rightfully been relentless in our stand against the practice of homosexuality and all other manifestations of sin. That is a responsibility we have rightly fulfilled for over 100 years and that we will continue to fulfill with all diligence.
As we preach, we must be led by the Bible which teaches us that a loving and humble spirit should govern our words.
In Col 4:6, we are encouraged to, "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." NKJV
The Apostle Paul, in Titus 2:6, admonishes us: "Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you." NKJV
On November 8, 2014 at the Annual Holy Convocation of the Church of God In Christ, Elder Earl Carter spoke against the practice of homosexuality. With that, we have no problem. However, in that message, Elder Carter made a statement which was inappropriate and beneath the dignity of our church and our divine calling. Specifically addressing male homosexuals, he indicated his "wish" that they would experience monthly anal bleeding "like a girl." His words were crude, offensive and base. It is with that specific statement alone that we take exception. Sadly this statement has been heard by millions of people around the world.
As Saints, we must always serve God in ways that reflect His righteousness, dignity and unremitting love.
What Godly person would wish rectal bleeding on another human being? Why would a man, called by God to introduce souls to the loving salvation of Jesus Christ, seemingly hate men to the degree that he would wish such a fate upon them? And, why would any preacher speak from the pulpit about a female bodily function in a way that implies that women are somehow inferior?
Ultimately, Elder Carter's inappropriate statement became the subject of a major negative, shameful news story captivating the talk show circuit and news media, projecting the church as a source of hate and anger.
Inappropriate Behavior Demands Correction
In his role as Presiding Bishop, spokesman and leader of the Church of God in Christ, Bishop Blake publicly apologized for Elder Carter's inappropriate statement while again reaffirming our stance against the practice of homosexuality. In the same statement, he reaffirmed our stand for righteousness and holiness and our commitment to "speaking the truth in love."
In Ephesians 4:15-16 the Apostle Paul wrote, "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." NKJV
The Appropriate Response to Correction
Correction should produce humility and repentance. We believe Hebrews 13:17, "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you." NKJV
Elder Carter should have humbled himself and submitted to the correction of the Presiding Bishop and apologized for his poor choice of words. That likely would have brought the matter to a close.
Instead Elder Carter Continues to Mount a Vicious and Personal Attack
He did not apologize but chose instead to launch a scandalous and deceitful attack against our leader, accusing him repeatedly of immoral behavior without the slightest substantiation.
Elder Carter's actions are reckless, hurtful, inflammatory and intensely damaging to the reputation of the Church of God in Christ, the office and person of the Presiding Bishop and, his family.
We believe that attack against the Presiding Bishop is an attack against all leadership and the church herself.
Elder Carter's behavior, in direct response to correction, is egregious and threatening to the very order and discipline of the Lord's Church.
Rebellion Must Be Dealt With In a Timely and Appropriate Way
We cannot sit back and watch any ordained elder launch an unwarranted, baseless and demonic campaign against our church and our leader without responding aggressively. The ramifications of inaction are commensurate with waving a white flag of surrender to the enemy of our souls.
We now stand in defense of our leader who appropriately and courageously stood in defense of the dignity and name of our God and our great church.
We, leaders of the church, protest and denounce both Elder Carter's initial inappropriate statements and his subsequent attacks upon the Church and the Presiding Bishop. We call upon Elder Carter to apologize for his unbecoming conduct, to retract his statements against Bishop Blake and finally, to cease from making future derogatory statements about this matter so that he may continue to enjoy the fellowship and support of our great church.
We remain hopeful that Elder Carter will comply but, if he does not, then we believe the fellowship and privileges of ministry in the Church of God in Christ should be withdrawn from him.
In affirmation of our support, we affix our names to this statement and direct that a copy should be conveyed to Elder Carter by registered mail immediately.
We hope that others will choose to join in with us in affixing their names at the soonest possible opportunity. (Submit your name below. Names will be updated daily.)

A Special Message from Bishop Charles Blake, Lady Mae, and the Blake Family!
On December 18, 2015, Bishop Charles E. Blake was awarded an honorary doctorate of divinity degree by Biola University.
News release from Nov. 11:
Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. to Receive Honorary Doctorate from Biola University
Influential Los Angeles pastor Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. will give Biola University's 2015 fall commencement address at the undergraduate and graduate ceremonies on Dec. 19. In addition, Blake will receive an honorary Doctorate of Divinity degree from Biola for his extensive work as a pastor demonstrating an unwavering commitment in obedience to the Word of God.
"Bishop Charles Blake is highly regarded as a leader of leaders. His ministry has impacted millions, and he preaches and teaches the Word of God uncompromisingly," said Biola President Barry H. Corey. "Bishop Blake has demonstrated a commitment to the ideals we cherish in Christian higher education, and he exemplifies the Gospel through his wide influence throughout the city of Los Angeles and his leadership across the world."
Blake is the pastor of West Angeles Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles, Calif. — one of the country's largest megachurches with more than 25,000 members. He is the presiding bishop of the entire Church of God in Christ denomination, which boasts nearly 6.5 million members from more than 60 countries worldwide.
"It has been a great joy to serve as the presiding bishop of the Church of God in Christ for eight years and the pastor of West Angeles Church for 46 years," said Blake. "I appreciate [Biola University's] recognition of the work I've accomplished in assisting others through the Word of God and my call to ministry. Luke 12:48 says 'to whom much is given, from him much will be required.' I am compelled by this honor to pursue even greater service to my Lord and master, Jesus."
West Angeles Church of God in Christ is sometimes called "the church to the stars" due to its geographical location and attendees like Denzel Washington, Stevie Wonder, and Samuel and LaTanya Jackson. Described as a "man of great integrity" by Washington, Blake humbly uses his platform to give back to the local and international community. West Angeles has established more than 400 housing and commercial properties for the inner city of Los Angeles and Blake has assisted thousands of Los Angeles County residents by implementing various educational, financial and social programs. Furthermore, Blake founded and is president of the Pan African Children's Fund (PACF) organization. "Save Africa's Children," a program within PACF, supports more than 420 orphan care programs, 200,000 children and 24 nations throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

FACT SHEET: White House and Department of Labor Launch $100 Million TechHire Grant Competition Including $50 Million for Young Americans
Today, U.S. Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith, Cabinet Secretary and Chair of the My Brother's Keeper Task Force Broderick Johnson, and Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez, will travel to Baltimore, Maryland to announce new steps to advance the President's TechHire initiative and expand opportunities for young Americans to get trained and placed into well-paying tech jobs. Baltimore is launching its TechHire initiative to expand pathways into tech jobs to those who have historically been left out of Baltimore's economy and those who are underrepresented in tech fields.
America has about 5.5 million open jobs today. Over half a million job openings are in information technology fields such as software development, network administration, and cybersecurity—rapidly growing sectors with many more jobs than just a decade ago. Whether in manufacturing, advertising, retail or banking, the average salary in a job that requires information technology (IT) skills is 50 percent higher than the average private-sector American job.
Businesses have added 13.5 million jobs over 68 straight months of private-sector job growth, extending the longest streak on record. While this progress is significant, employers are in critical need of tech talent and too many Americans lack the skills and experience to access these well-paying jobs. Over six million young Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 are out of school and work, which represents a significant untapped resource of productivity and talent for the country.
That is why in March 2015, President Obama launched TechHire, a bold multi-sector effort and call to action to empower Americans with the skills they need, through universities and community colleges, but also nontraditional approaches like "coding bootcamps" and high-quality online courses that can rapidly train workers for a well-paying job, often in just a few months.
Since then, 35 cities, states, and rural areas with more than 500 employer partners in need of this workforce, have begun working together to find new ways to recruit and place applicants based on their actual skills and to create more fast track tech training opportunities. The President has set a goal of reaching more than 40 communities by the end of 2015.
Today, the Administration announced new steps to ensure that Americans, including youth and young adults ages 17-29, individuals with disabilities, individuals with limited English proficiency, and individuals with criminal records, get access including:
A historical marker has been erected outside the Holmes County Courthouse in Lexington in honor of our Founder Bishop C.H. Mason. The dedication ceremony was held at the south end of the courthouse and was attended by several speakers as well as state and local elected leaders.
Church of God in Christ, Inc. roots in Lexington run deep. Mason initially started COGIC in Lexington, about 150 miles south of Memphis. He preached from the steps of the courthouse before eventually establishing St. Paul Church of God in Christ, which became known as the denomination's mother church.
Mary Patterson, the widow of former Presiding Bishop J.O. Patterson, leads the Pentecostal Heritage Connection and was responsible for initiating the effort for the marker. Mary Patterson asserted the following: "If Memphis is the Church of God in Christ's Jerusalem, then Lexington is its Nazareth."

Although she never had received any formal vocal training, Glendale, AZ's Jordin Sparks managed to make her way into the final 24 on the sixth season of American Idol. Only 17 at the time of her audition, she was one of that year's youngest competitors; as the competition winded down in May 2007, Sparks found her fiercest competition eliminated, and was eventually crowned the next American Idol. She continued her music career and eventually moved to acting, making her film debut in Sparkle (2012), which was Whitney Houston's film final role. Her next major film role was in 2014's apocalyptic thriller Left Behind. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Skip to comments.Fallen 9/11 priest emerges as an icon for gay Catholics (Catholic Caucus)
Posted on 08/27/2011 1:21:53 PM PDT by NYer
Fr. Mychal Judge, the fallen chaplain of the Fire Department of New York City, will be honored with a statue in front of his former parish, according to a story from Religion News Services (via The Huffington Post):
When All Saints Church sought to signal its hospitality to gays and lesbians, the Catholic parish in Syracuse, N.Y., turned to a well-known image from the 9/11 attacks: five firefighters carrying a body from the wreckage of the World Trade Center.
The body belonged to the Rev. Mychal Judge, a Franciscan fire chaplain who rushed to the burning buildings and was killed by falling debris. Later, a half-hidden secret emerged about the gallant priest: he was gay.
All Saints hopes the statue will demonstrate that the parish, following Judge's lead, is committed to closing the chasms between rich and poor, black and white, gay and straight, said the Rev. Fred Daley, the church's pastor.
The story is an interesting one, given the Church's hard-line teachings on homosexuality. The article explores Fr. Judge's priestly vocation and his sexuality, with insight from America's own Fr. James Martin:
The gay Catholic pundit Andrew Sullivan has called Judge's death an "emblem of service and holiness and courage," and argued that, by the Vatican's logic, the priest "should never have been ordained."
Researchers estimate that thousands of gay priests like Judge serve the church while remaining faithful to their vows of celibacy. Only a few, however, have publicly revealed their sexual orientation, leaving a dearth of positive role models for gay Catholics, Daley said.
The Rev. James Martin, culture editor of the Jesuit magazine America, said some Catholics are uncomfortable with Judge's sexual orientation and downplay that aspect of his life.
"But why should they be? For all we know, he lived a perfectly celibate life," Martin said. "He lived as the Catechism asked him to live and kept his ordination promises. Gay, straight or somewhere in between, he's a hero. If you rush into a burning building to minister to people, while knowing that you might die, that's true holiness."
Omitting any mention of Judge's sexuality, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has used Judge's heroic life and death for its own ends: in promotional materials encouraging men to join priesthood.
"One's orientation should never dominate one's ministry as a priest," said Sister Mary Ann Walsh, a spokeswoman for the bishops. "Clearly, it did not dominate the ministry of Father Judge, who by all reports was held in high esteem by many, especially by the fire department he served so well."

There's one thing they're ignoring here .... being homosexual and committing acts of homosexuality are two different things.
Now, if this priest committed such acts, he's guilty. If not, then he set the example for gays to follow ... celibacy.
Just to further clarify my first comment...
Yes, this article acknowledges gay, celibate priests. My point was that the gay community, while seeking to honor Fr. Judge, are at the same time ignoring the message he (and others like him) lived right in front of them. Even if he was gay, he didn't (as far as I know) act on it. That's the model they should be following.
hmmm...I had read that people who actually knew him said that he wasn't gay, or at least no one knew because all indications were that he led a chaste life.
Yup. The really sickening part is that he's passed on and could not defend himself. The fags truly are a screwed up bunch.
Its very unusual for gays to glorify someone who was openly chaste. They usually only celebrate promiscuity
Check out "gay history" anywhere and see how they distort sources to abduct people into "The Gay Community" after they're dead: King David, Jesus Christ, Abraham Lincoln, whoever they can get their hands on.
Even the LGBT's symbolic equivalent of Martin Luther King --- Harvey Milk --- is largely a posthumous creation. Yes, he was gay (and an active sodomite.) But he did not notably campaign for gay issues, and the guy who murdered him did not do so for anti-gay reasons: it was an unstable political rival with an unrelated grudge.
Fr. Mychal Judge's friends and his religious order should move strong and fast to set his story "straight".
Judge's family and close friends say he was not a homosexual. The homosexuals are expropriating him for their own purposes. Hell,they tell the poor dumb kids in high school and college that people like Lincoln and Washington were homosexuals.

And yet no religious involvement with the 10th anniversary celebration. And no first responders.
He embodied both.
Placemark - turning comp off due to big thunderstorm heading my way, hearing thunder now.
I found many of the comments in that magazine disturbing, to say the least. One poster threw out the weird assertion that half the priests in the US are homosexuals. Others were not as ridiculous, yet their arguments were far from what I would expect from Catholics, even nominal Catholics.
Arguments similar to what might come from atheists, or liberals committed to dragging the church into the umbrella of leftism, subverting it totally to another cause.
Wonder if the church will also want close the chasm between adulterers and faithful, or incestuous and normal too?
I was just thinking about the Baptism of the Lord by John the Baptist, how Christ Himself closed the gap between God and sinners, by standing with sinners.
Yes He did this, standing with sinners as if He Himself, the sinless One, needed baptism; sharing His Life with sinners, calling sinners to repentance and reconciliation, and dying for sinners.
Close the chasm? Yes. By the unthinkable riches of the Mercy of God.
So true. I hope folks won't judge Fr. Judge harshly based on those who want to use him for their own political purposes. He was truly selfless for putting himself in danger to minister to those in the shadows of the towers.
If you tell a lie long enough.....Isn't it interesting that there was not a peep or whisper of homosexuality until the poor man was dead? Gay men leave trails. Where are the lovers? Where are the witnesses who saw him in the clubs? Where are the family members who say oh yeah he was gay? Where is the parishioners who say they saw young men hanging around at all hours of the night? Where is the housekeeper who changed the sheets? Where? They don't exist. The poor man's memory is being used.
Even if he was gay, he didnt (as far as I know) act on it. Thats the model they should be following. >>
he wasn't gay, he ministered to gays. The homosexual agenda used fr. m's death to advance their sick lifestyle.
That's sick. What a twisted bunch of people.
It was St Vincents in NYC who took care of Aids patients during the epidemic. They went broke because of it as other patients were scared off and went to other hospitals in the city. They never financially recovered as most of the patients didn't have money or insurance for the care. That along with 9-11 made them shut their doors 1-2 yrs ago. Homosexuals have very short memories. Fr Mychal Judge was one of many who cared for them. He wouldn't leave the WTC and stayed to give confession. When part of the building fell on him he was actually hearing a confession. We need to claim him back and the only way to do that is to have him as a Blessed that way everything in his life must be examined with the utmost scrutiny.
Judge was considered a saint by many who knew him but if he was a saint it was because he struggled against temptation with the help of God's grace. Many gays do the same, and will probably make it into heaven before the homophobes
That said, the problem here is that those seeking to legalize promiscuity (homo and hetero) in the Catholic church are using him to promote the gay lifestyle.
And that is a problem.
In Catholic piety, we can pray to anyone in heaven to intercede with us to God, including our friends and relatives. So if you want to pray to Judge, go ahead.
Being declared a saint is a bit more difficult, since it requires an examination of their life and writings, a lapse of time to eliminate over enthusiatic followers, and a couple of miracles though their intercession for God's okay in the matter.
Lots of "heroes" who the libs want to make saints (e.g. Kennedy and Martin Luther King) were promiscuous to the end of their lives, and would never pass the test of sanctity.
So I think that the magazine is mixing up fame with sanctity.
Who cares what sexual orientation he was? He was a brave, selfless man regardless.
This is an urban legend. First Things reported shortly after the event that the priest was NOT gay. But the homosexual lobby has to have a hero so they made one up. Disgraceful and tawdry they would smear this good man just to have a squalid trophy martyr of their own.
The big thing that always annoys me is the false association that some make for their own interest. If the priest did not practice homosexual acts, then he was not gay or homosexual, and exemplary to how people attracted to the same gender should be living their lives. Feeling attracted to the same gender and practicing certain behaviors are totally different things.
I have heard the wierdest arguments from all sorts of people that Abraham Lincoln, Isaac Newton, and who knows who else were homosexual, but at most it's cherry-picking, when you get into more of the details about any of these people from various accounts.
Exactly. If anything, if he was a same-sex attracted individual who abstained from sexual relations because of his faith he's exactly what the "gay rights movement" does not like and in fact despises.

Our Mission
Colorado Fourteeners Initiative protects and preserves the natural integrity of Colorado's 54 14,000–foot peaks—the "Fourteeners"—through active stewardship and public education.
Colorado's Fourteeners contain rare and fragile native alpine tundra ecosystems that are uniquely adapted to living on these high peaks. These tundra plants–some of which exist nowhere else on earth–are ill-adapted to being trampled by the estimated quarter-million people who climb these peaks every year. In many places resource damage is past the point of natural recovery.
CFI partners with the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land management, passionate volunteer partners and donors nationwide to:
- Create a structure for engaging local communities in the protection of Colorado's highest peaks
- Build and maintain sustainable hiking routes on the Fourteeners to accommodate hiking use while minimizing damage to native alpine ecosystems
- Close, stabilize and restore trampled and eroded areas to protect sensitive alpine plant and animal communities
- Educate Fourteener hikers about Leave No Trace principles and sustainable recreational practices designed to lessen ecosystem impacts
Through this unique, voluntary partnership, Colorado's Fourteener ecosystems are protected from harm while continuing to make the peaks accessible to hikers without burdensome restrictions and fees.

Focus on Uranus
Riddle, Bob, Science Scope
The solar system as we now know it is changing, with new objects and moons regularly being discovered. For many centuries the solar system was known to only contain the Sun, our Moon, and six planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. It wasn't until the invention of the telescope that we started to realize that there was more to the solar system than first believed. However, it wasn't until 1781, when William Herschel aimed his six-inch reflecting telescope toward the skies, that our solar system quite literally doubled in size with his discovery of another planet. At first named after his patron King George III, this newly discovered planet was known as Georgium Sidus; it was also referred to as Herschel, but eventually was re-named after the Greek god Ouranos, or Uranus as it is now spelled.
William Herschel was born in Germany, but spent most of his life in England. As a young man, Herschel played the oboe for Hanoverian Guards, a military band that was transferred to England. In later years, as a band director, he composed many symphonies, but he also had an interest in mathematics, astronomy, and making telescopes. The latter soon became the focus of his life. Working with his sister, Caroline, he built more than 400 telescopes and spent much of his time searching the skies for comets and observing the known planets, nebula, galaxies, variable stars, and double stars. His accomplishments include discovering additional moons around Uranus and Saturn, determining the proper motion of several stars, concluding that the Sun was moving through space, and surveying enough stars to allow him to suggest the shape of our galaxy. But it was his observation of double stars that led him to the discovery of the planet Uranus.
During the spring of 1781, as Herschel was systematically plotting positions of double stars in the constellation Gemini, he observed a pair of stars. He described one as being somewhat like a comet in appearance. A few nights later, when he observed this same area, he noticed that the position of one of the objects had shifted. Over the next couple of months, as Herschel and other astronomers observed this moving object and its orbit was plotted, it was determined that the object did not follow a comet-like path and that it was twice as far from the Sun as Saturn was. William Herschel was given credit for discovering a new planet. Interestingly, Uranus had been observed and plotted several times by astronomers, including Galileo, but their telescopes were not as good as the ones made and used by Herschel and were unable to resolve Uranus into anything more then a nebulous blur.
Uranus is the seventh planet outward from the Sun at a distance of 19.2 A.U., and follows an 84-year orbit around the Sun that is essentially the same shape (eccentricity) as the other three Jovian planets. Uranus is currently known to have 27 moons of which two, Titania and Oberon, were discovered by Herschel. Eighteen of these moons are regular satellites of the planet, while the remaining nine are considered to be irregular satellites (those captured by the planet's gravitational field rather than forming with the planet). Within the moon system are 12 faint rings, nine of which were discovered in 1977 as astronomers observed an occultation of a distant star by Uranus. As the planet occulted (eclipsed) the star, the star's brightness decreased and returned to normal several times on either side of the planet. Several years later, Voyager 2's cameras revealed two additional rings. The 11th ring was discovered in 2004 by astronomers using a ground-based telescope equipped with an adaptive optics system.
Lying on its side with a tilt of 97.92[degrees], Uranus is one of two planets with an axial tilt dramatically different from the others. This sets up an interesting seasonal pattern as Uranus orbits the Sun. Both polar regions are directed toward the Sun at the solstices, while the sides of the planet are sunward on the equinox. …

George Silk/ TIME & LIFE Pictures
The President's Poet
At 86 years old, Robert Frost was, in 1961, America's greatest living poet. A four-time Pulitzer Prize winner and the quintessential New England bard (albeit born in California), he penned a new poem for the inauguration, but the intense glare of the January sun made it impossible for him to read his own manuscript. After struggling for a bit, and after LBJ stood and tried to help (using his own top hat to shield the page), Frost abandoned the effort and instead recited, from memory, another, more famous work: "The Gift Outright," written nearly 20 years before, which reads in part, "we gave ourselves outright … To the land vaguely realizing westward."

Four Qassam Rockets Fired at Israel; Sderot House Hit
5 militants killed, 23 hurt in IAF strikes on Hamas posts in Gaza; strikes part of effort to curb Qassam fire.
Five Qassam rockets were fired at Israel by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Saturday.
In a barrage of four rockets fired at Israel on Saturday evening, two Qassams hit Sderot, one of them destroying a house, and three rockets landed south of Ashkelon. There were no casualties reported.
Israeli aircraft fired missiles at Hamas security posts in northern and southern Gaza Strip late Saturday, Palestinian security officials said.
An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson confirmed a strike on a Hamas post in the northern town of Jebaliya, but had no immediate word on the strike reported near the southern town of Rafah.
No casualties were reported in either attack.
The Israel Air Force launched four missile strikes on Hamas targets a few minutes apart Saturday morning, killing at least five Hamas militants and wounding at least 23, doctors and security officials reported. The strikes were part of an ongoing effort to curb Qassam rocket fire on Israel from the Gaza Strip.
The first strike hit a Hamas installation in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighborhood, and another airstrike hit a Hamas training camp on the outskirts of Shati refugee camp.
Minutes later, a third strike hit a Hamas installation in the southern town of Rafah, security officials said. The officials didn't know of any casualties.
A fourth strike targeted a Hamas training base near the southern town of Khan Yunis.
Earlier Saturday, the IAF fired missiles at five targets throughout the Gaza Strip causing damage and wounding at least three Palestinians.
Helicopter gunships fired missiles at several Hamas facilities, including a wood shop and a guardhouse outside the home of Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. Haniyeh was not hurt in the attack.
According to the Israel Defense Forces spokesman, the targets of these strikes were three structures used by Hamas in Gaza City, a Hamas military post in Gaza City, and a structure used by Hamas in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Palestinian sources reported at least three people had been wounded in the attacks, including an 11-year-old boy.
On Friday night, at least two Hamas militants were killed in an IAF strike on a car in Gaza City, shortly after a Qassam rocket fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip lightly wounded three Sderot residents when it hit their home.
The IDF confirmed Friday's strike, saying it had targeted Hamas militants who were on their way to fire Qassam rockets at Israel.
According to the IDF, the missile strike was followed by a secondary blast, which is evidence of explosives in the car.
In the Qassam strike on Sderot, 10 people were treated for shock, and the four-story apartment building suffered serious damage. The wounded individuals were sitting inside their home when the rocket hit the yard.
The three injured and four of those in shock were taken to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon for treatment.
Another Qassam hit a factory in Sderot later Friday, causing damage to property but no casualties.
Hamas claimed responsibility for both attacks. A total of six rockets were fired at Israel on Friday.
Earlier Friday, the IAF struck a Hamas position south of Gaza City, residents said.
Two missiles hit the position used by Hamas gunmen, a short time after the site was struck by a salvo of four missiles.
Hospital officials said four civilians were wounded in the secondary attack, including a reporter working for a pro-Hamas radio station. The hospital officials said none of the injuries were particularly serious.
An IDF spokesman confirmed the air strike.
The attack followed a series of seven overnight air strikes which rocked the Gaza Strip early on Friday, targeting several Hamas and Islamic Jihad positions.
Earlier, IDF troops at the Hawarra checkpoint near Nablus in the West Bank also arrested a Palestinian who was carrying three pipe bombs in his bag.
It was the ninth incident of its kind this year.
Palestinian militants continued firing Qassam rockets on southern Israel on Friday, despite the Israeli military operation meant to curtail the rocket fire.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad took responsibility Friday for firing four Qassam rockets at the Negev in the morning, causing no injuries. Some 11 rockets struck the area Thursday.
During the operation on Thursday, the IAF struck close to the northern Gaza home of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, Palestinian security officials said.
One Palestinian was killed by IDF tank fire in northern Gaza on Thursday, and Palestinian sources said a second was killed by fire from the Israel Navy. They identified the latter victim as a 28-year-old fisherman, Said al-Attar. The IDF confirmed that naval ships had opened fire on an abandoned fishing boat that had moved beyond the permitted sailing zone, and said it was investigating the incident.
In addition, Amal Daoud, 40, died in an Israeli hospital Thursday of wounds incurred from IDF gunfire last week.
Ten Palestinians were wounded in the air strikes, Israel Radio quoted Palestinian sources as saying. Palestinian medics said the casualties included a child and a Palestinian police officer.
The site near Haniyeh's home that was struck in the IAF raid was a tin shack where Haniyeh's guards sleep, the Palestinian security officials said, adding that it was vacant and that no one was hurt. The Israel Defense Forces said it hit a building used by Hamas in the Shati refugee camp, and that the proximity to Haniyeh's house was incidental.
Haniyeh, wearing an exercise suit and sneakers, inspected the site, but guards pulled him away because IAF planes were still in the air.
A short time earlier, the IAF hit four Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets in the southern Gaza Strip, as part of continuing moves to halt the Qassam rocket fire that has plagued southern Israel for more than a week.
The air force struck a car carrying members of a rocket-launching crew in Gaza City on Thursday. It also bombed two positions held by members of Hamas' Executive Force, in Gaza City and Dir al-Balah, and the offices of three money changers in Gaza City. The IDF said that the latter were used to transfer money to Hamas from Iran. Several Palestinians were wounded in these attacks. The targets also included an Islamic Jihad weapons production facility, Israel Radio reported.
Hamas remained defiant, however, vowing on Thursday night to continue the Qassam strikes that the military operation is meant to curtail.
"Rockets will be fired as long as the Zionist aggression against our people continues," said Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri. His comment came after Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas described such attacks as "pointless and needless."
At sundown Thursday, Gaza militants fired two mortar shells at the Erez crossing, a main transit point for people between Israel and Gaza. There was considerable damage to two of the processing lanes, but no one was hurt, the IDF said. Israel closed the crossing in the wake of the attack.
Also Thursday, the IDF and the Shin Bet security service arrested 33 members of Hamas' political wing, including one cabinet minister, in the West Bank. The arrest raid was part of a broad Israeli offensive against Hamas in response to the rocket barrages on southern Israel. On Saturday, another Hamas minister was arrested.
Sderot emergency status extendedThe Knesset Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee agreed Thursday to extend the special emergency situation declared in the Sderot area for an additional 10 days.
Defense Minister Amir Peretz declared the emergency situation in Sderot and other nearby communities on Sunday, in the wake of the ongoing Qassam fire. In addition, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced that Gaza-area communities would receive frontline status.
The committee refused Thursday, however, to approve the government's request that the emergency situation be extended for an unlimited amount of time. The panel said another extension would be granted only if the government reported on the measures taken to protect the residents of Sderot and the surrounding communities.

EPIX Pharmaceuticals achieved a key milestone related to the third of three discovery programs under its collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), triggering a $5.5 million payment.
Using its integrated computational-medicinal chemistry approach to drug discovery, EPIX has identified three lead candidates to move forward into lead optimization in its GPCR discovery research.
EPIX is now entitled to receive a milestone payment of $3 million and an additional $2.5 million for its overall progress in the discovery partnership with GSK. EPIX previously received two milestone payments totaling $6 million for the other two discovery programs. "Our in silico approach to drug discovery continues to deliver results and has allowed us to rapidly progress lead candidates into lead-optimization programs," notes Sheila DeWitt, Ph.D., vp of discovery at EPIX.
In December 2006, EPIX and GSK announced a worldwide, multitarget strategic collaboration to discover, develop, and market novel medicines targeting four GPCRs for the treatment of a variety of diseases. EPIX received total initial payments of $35 million, including $17.5 million through the purchase of its common stock.

Disney's 'The Kid' Finds Its Inner Child,But Loses Audience Along the Way
A beautiful red biplane climbs, rolls and soars in the opening shot of "Disney's The Kid ," and in several brief sequences that follow. It's a potent symbol of spiritual freedom in an otherwise groundbound fable of a middle-age man, Russ Duritz, who not only finds his inner child but can't get the chubby elf out of his life until he comes to terms with his unhappy past. This movie is an exercise in willed magic. All the pieces of an inspirational comedy seem to be in place, and now and then "The Kid" taps into their intrinsic power. Yet pieces they remain, stock elements from some dream factory in disrepair.
You can't blame Bruce Willis, who did so well opposite a little boy in "The Sixth Sense," and who does well enough here. This time he plays the severely inhibited Russ, while Spencer Breslin plays Rusty, Russ's eight-year-old alter ego. Both man and boy do what they can with the facile script, which was written by Audrey Wells, and with Jon Turteltaub's dogged direction.
For a very long while, until Rusty appears, "The Kid" threatens to be about Russ's inhibitions and little else. A stressed-out image consultant who lives in a lavish but severe house built of pre-stressed concrete, Russ manages to be remarkably unpleasant to those around him. They, just as remarkably, care about him and try to love him. Lily Tomlin brings a wicked, understated wit to the role of his secretary. Jean Smart is so appealing as Russ's airliner seatmate, and later as his confidante, that you can't imagine why he never follows through romantically. Emily Mortimer is attractive as Amy, Russ's devoted assistant, but poor Amy is stuck with deadly earnest lines like "Sometimes I get the tiniest glimpse of the kid in you."
Given the extent of Russ's alienation, and his indifference to personal integrity -- the clients he serves and protects are all fancy scumbags -- it's a relief when the kid in him actually shows up. A relief and surprise, since Spencer Breslin is hardly a conventional pint-size charmer. Sad-eyed and double-chinned, he speaks in a foghorn voice and clumps around Russ's house, model biplane in hand, as if he's wearing galoshes. Yes, little Rusty dreams of being a pilot -- that's what prompted those aerobatic fugues -- and the boy is dismayed to discover what a dreary, pinched soul he's fated to grow into.
Yet Rusty's fate isn't fixed, far from it. In a plot twist as mawkish as it is arbitrary, man and boy travel back to 1968, a crucial year of their shared childhood. Russ gets to understand his troubled history (little love, lots of guilt). Better still, he gets to rewrite it. I suppose one could see this as a metaphor for psychoanalysis without the vast expenditures of time and money. Like analysis, the movie dredges up memories and raises questions that ought to be moving in the extreme: How did we get to be who we are, and what can we do to make ourselves better? On every level, though, "The Kid" is flat and pat, a glib gathering of too many Rosebuds.
'Scary Movie'
R arely has the cultural divide between adults and kids yawned wider than in "Scary Movie ," a gross-and-grosser metaspoof of teenage horror spoofs like "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Relentlessly crude, completely kidcentric and sometimes pretty funny (read hilarious and a surefire hit for its target audience), "Scary Movie" even dramatizes that divide in a scene with an audience of stuffy middle-age whites watching "Shakespeare in Love." When a young black woman sits down in their midst and starts eating a takeout order of fried chicken, the grown-ups turn against the noisy intruder and eventually kill her, while a psycho killer in a "Scream" mask watches in bemusement from the back of the theater. The point of the scene isn't white vs. black -- in its scattershot way "Scary Movie" is free of racial bias -- but old vs. young, with the polarity of power reversed, as required by the rules of adolescent fantasy.
In reality it's the kids who now hold the power of life or death over most new releases. Mainstream films for adults are usually consigned to a crowded exhibition ghetto that opens in the fall and closes after Christmas. During the movie summer, whose increasing length owes no debt to global warming, old folks in their 30s and beyond must forage for thoughtful entertainment in video shops while kids take over the multiplexes, their faces set for the latest junk feast.
This summer, of course, they're gorging on raunch. First "Big Momma's House," then "Road Trip" and "Me, Myself & Irene" tried to trump the triumphant tastelessness of "There's Something About Mary." Now "Scary Movie," which was directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans ("I'm Gonna Git You Sucka"), has topped -- or bottomed -- its progenitors, especially with a graphic take on giant genitalia. And the Motion Picture Association of America has thrown itself into the spirit of the thing by giving "Scary Movie" an R, rather than an NC-17, thus making a mockery of its own rating system.
Far be it from me to deny that I laughed at a libidinous ingenue (Anna Faris) fitted with an electrified chain-link chastity fence, or a slasher extirpating what proves to be a breast implant from Carmen Electra's chest. For all the ritual coarseness of its parody, which clearly derives from "Airplane!" and the "Naked Gun" comedies, "Scary Movie" occasionally rises to the level of inspired swill.
At the same time, though, I felt sad that this new raunch genre has become so impoverished so soon. Never mind that it seeks to exclude sentient adults -- that's part of the teen-flick mystique. What's dispiriting is that the genre's pop-cultural cannibalism excludes creativity, the sort of exuberant invention that has made "Chicken Run" a surprise hit with younger children and adults alike. Older teens and post-teens will flock to "Scary Movie," and will declare themselves thrilled with its scabrous recyclings of previously recycled goods. But that's because they don't know what they're missing, don't realize that they're the ones being slashed, and burned.
Video Tip: Bruce Willis was also a time traveler in Terry Gilliam's "Twelve Monkeys " (1995), a chaotic, often enthralling sci-fi drama loosely based on Chris Marker's classic 1962 short "La Jetee."
