Chris Christie: Historical Illiterate

Chris Christie: Historical Illiterate
-By Warner Todd Huston
On Tuesday, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced that he was joining the other 75 or 80 candidates for the 2016 GOP nomination for president. But during his announcement, Christie seemed to prove that he is illiterate about American history.
One of Christie's great themes during his announcement is that the nation needs a great compromiser in chief, a candidate who will "reach across the aisle" and work with "our friends the Democrats."
But in touting his fealty to "compromise," Christie made an analogy to the Founding fathers that was both clumsy, and completely incorrect.
A little less than half way through his comments, Christie delivered this paragraph:
And both parties. Both parties have failed our country. Both parties have stood in the corner and held their breath and waited to get their own way. And both parties have lead us to believe that in America, a country that was built on compromise, that somehow now compromise is a dirty word. If Washington and Adams and Jefferson believed compromise was a dirty word, we'd still be under the crown of England.
Firstly, when he said, "If Washington and Adams and Jefferson believed compromise was a dirty word, we'd still be under the crown of England," this doesn't even make any sense at all. None of these three founders "compromised" with England. Neither did any of the other founders. Once they chose separation and independence there was no longer any thought to compromising with the British government.
So, right there that line makes no sense at all.

Historical Ignorance: Anti-Gun TV President Claims Slavery is 'In The Constitution'

Historical Ignorance: Anti-Gun TV President Claims Slavery is 'In The Constitution'
-By Warner Todd Huston
The faux President of the United States on the ABC TV show Scandal gave one of those typically left-wing TV speeches that is more like an uninformed screed meant to push a leftist agenda than truthful commentary. In this case the actor pretending to be president scorned the Second Amendment and then said incorrectly that slavery was enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
On the TV show, "President" Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) noted that the Second Amendment was "set in stone" in the Constitution, then as an aside said, "So was slavery, by the way."
No it wasn't… by the way. It is a lie the left tells.
In the show the "president's" son was killed in a mass school shooting sending this "President" into his screed.
Here was the relevant part of the segment.

New Nationalized History Curriculum Eliminate Founding Fathers, Teaches Country Built on Hate
-By Warner Todd Huston
Looks like the Obamaites are once again attempting to tech our children that the U.S. is an evil country with new nationalized "history" standards for our schools that eliminate the founding fathers and focuses only on a relentlessly negative interpretation of the birth of the country.
I am late to this story, I know (it is impossible to cover everything, certainly), but this one is egregious, so I just had to hit it. Still, it is of a piece with the way the left is attempting to destroy this country by tearing it down in the eyes of our youth so that they grow up with the left's preconceived notion that this country is evil.
Late last moth documents were uncovered that reveals they way that College Board authors have redesigned the AP U.S. History (APUSH) Framework from a previous five-page, cursory outline that leaves a lot of what is to be taught to teachers and school districts to a massive 98-page document describing in minute detail what is to be taught and more importantly what isn't to be taught.
The College Board, the administers of advanced placement (AP) courses and tests, is unveiling the new scheme for AP U.S. history which is to be given to 450,000 students who take these history classes across the nation.

238 Independence Days and Counting, But What Does it all Mean?
-By Warner Todd Huston
Today America enjoys the celebration of 238 years of existence as a nation by noting the day we declared our independence from our Mother nation, England. Sadly, that celebration has, for too many, become the "July Fourth" holiday, a day of picnics, rote parades, "white sales," and for some a day off work. Of course, we should not and don't celebrate any "July Fourth." We celebrate Independence Day, the day we formally separated from our parent nation and took those first unsteady steps into the world as a nation of our own.
So, what is this Independence Day all about? Well, for one thing we celebrate the gifts that our Creator has given us. That's right, our Founding Fathers started this nation celebrating the gifts of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and those natural rights given to us by God, rights that no man can take away from us, rights no man can legitimately prevent us from observing.
Contrary to the God averse America we have devolved into, the Declaration mentions God, the Creator, or the divine multiple times and the Founders rested their entire claim of liberty and freedom on the claim that no government can legitimately take away the natural rights that mankind should and must enjoy.

Guns And Abortion: States Starting to Rebel Against Federal Control
-By Warner Todd Huston
As a conservative it is easy to look at Washington and find nothing but despair. Socialism is once again on the march with autocratic Democrats and left leaning "Republicans" all seeking to raise taxes, spend more, destroy the integrity of our borders, eviscerate our military, spy on us all, and impose a one-size-fits-all education scheme. In DC, the Democrats are practically indistinguishable from the Republicans. But a bright spot is seen in those states who are rebelling over this top down control by liberalizing gun laws, restricting abortion, and otherwise beginning to look for ways to assert their long dormant powers.
When the founders created this country they imagined that they had practically eliminated the chance for tyranny by creating a governing plan that featured a segmented system. The founders expected each segment to zealously look to protect their rightful powers.
The founders thought that Senators would fight for their states, Congressmen would fight for that segment of voters who elected them, Presidents would guard their own enumerated powers, states would strenuously reject any expansion of federal powers, counties would reject state interference and cities would vigorously enforce their own authority.
There was a time when states' rights weren't just some false call used to protect slavery!
Unfortunately, this country lost its once proud obstinacy and everyone began to fall to a socialist-styled assumption that the federal government should control everything from Washington D.C.
It is easy to imagine that the founders would have already started shooting at and/or tar and feathering government officials by now, but the tide of this un-American control from the top is starting to show some signs of collapse. A bloodless revolution seems to be forming.

A Thanksgiving Proclamation in George Washington's Own Words
By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor — and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be — That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks — for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation — for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war — for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed — for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted — for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
[sic] and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions — to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually — to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed — to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord — To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us — and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

237 Independence Days and Counting, But What Does it all Mean?
-By Warner Todd Huston
Today America enjoys the celebration of 237 years of existence as a nation by noting the day we declared our independence from our Mother nation, England. Sadly, that celebration has, for too many, become the "July Fourth" holiday, a day of picnics, rote parades, "white sales," and for some a day off work. Of course, we should not and don't celebrate any "July Fourth." We celebrate Independence Day, the day we formally separated from our parent nation and took those first unsure steps into the world as a nation of our own.
So, what is this Independence Day all about? Well, for one thing we celebrate the gifts that our Creator has given us. That's right, our Founding Fathers started this nation celebrating the gifts of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and those natural rights given to us by God, rights that no man can tax away from us, rights no man can legitimately take by force.
Contrary to the God averse America we have stumbled into, the Declaration mentions God, the Creator, or the divine multiple times and the Founders rested their entire claim of liberty and freedom on the claim that no government can legitimately take away the natural rights that mankind should and must enjoy.
The fact is the Founders did not want a nation free from religion (there is no such founding principle as a "wall of separation" as many think of it today, but that is another story for another day). This is not a Godless nation, but a nation based on Christian ideals.
Secondly, the Declaration of Independence is also a list of the wrongs and slights that England perpetrated against us. In the list of crimes against us that the English Crown and Parliament perpetrated against us is detailed many of the rights that free men must enjoy to truly be free men. This list of slights is not just stuffy old history but are timeless principles which should guide all men even today.
And lastly, to that "all men" point just noted. Our Founders did not write a Declaration that only pertained to their situation in their focused pint in history. Instead they wrote a document to inspire every people to take up freedom and liberty as their own. The Declaration of Independence is not just a document for America. It is one that should inspire all men everywhere to throw off the shackles of government-imposed slavery. It is a document that is not just for the nascent American people, but one that insists, "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
The Declaration of Independence is for humanity. Not just America.
And so that is also our charge. Freedom is a cause for all men, not just Americans. The United States should not shrink from the charge to aid and encourage freedom and liberty for all men.
Please take a minute to read the entire Declaration below and re-famliarize yourself with our founding ideals.

Nancy Pelosi Recommends We 'Celebrate' Obamacare on July 4th

-By Warner Todd Huston
California Democrat, Representative Nancy Pelosi recently informed the nation that July Fourth isn't just for fireworks and dissing the Brits any more. It is also the day we should "celebrate" Obamacare.
Sure July Fourth is traditionally celebrated as the day we declared independence from Great Britain, an action that preceded the Revolutionary War and set the tone for our nascent nation. But now it has another significance. As far as Pelosi is concerned it is "health independence" day, too.
"Next week, when we celebrate Independence Day we'll also be observing health independence," Pelosi said during a press briefing recorded by CSPAN. She goes on to say that, "this week marks one year since the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act. It captures the spirit of our founders. The spirit they wrote in the Declaration of Independence… So, we've had Social Security, Medicare, and now health independence, and that's something our members will take home to celebrate over this Independence Day."
Pelosi also bent history to chide the GOP saying that if Paul Revere was a Republican, today he would be running through the streets shouting "sequester is coming!"
You must read her full "health independence" statement to get the full effect…

What Is This 'Well Regulated Militia' Business, Anyway?

What Is This 'Well Regulated Militia' Business, Anyway?
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Question:
The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, 1789: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
We talk about the "right of the people" to "bear arms" all the time. But we don't often talk about the "well regulated militia" part that precedes it. So, what is it about? Is this militia still relevant to us today? Can we just ignore it? If unnecessary, does the lack of a need for the militia make the whole Second Amendment null and void?
Our founders had just fought a war with one of the greatest powers in the world. In the mid 1780s, British forces were considered the best of the best. But our founders hadn't joined a war with a "foreign power." They had fought a war with their own government in order to separate from it and start anew. This was because we Americans felt England had violated our very rights as Englishmen.
As our Declaration of Independence notes:
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Danny Glover's Revisionist History: 2nd Amendment Was for Protecting Slavery

Danny Glover's Revisionist History: 2nd Amendment Was for Protecting Slavery
-By Warner Todd Huston
Actor and hardcore progressive Danny Glover should add revisionist historian to his growing resume of left-wing activism after a recent visit to Texas A&M University where he told students that the Second Amendment was mainly meant to keep African Americans in slavery and to kill Native American peoples.
During his January 17 appearance at the university, Glover thought to teach the students attending about the real purpose of the Second Amendment.
I don't know if people know the genesis of the right to bear arms. The Second Amendment comes from the right to protect, for settlers to protect themselves from slave revolts and from uprisings by Native Americans. So, a revolt from people who were stolen from their lands or revolts from people whose land was stolen from. That was the genesis of the Second Amendment.
This is simple historical revisionism. Slave revolts had yet to become the constant, nagging fear it was later to become for southern slaveholders. There was no such preoccupation in the late 1780s during the debate over the Constitution or in the decades previous to that and it certainly wasn't a cause for northerners to worry.
Glover is completely wrong in every respect.

Some Texas Schools Teaching Boston Tea Party Was Terrorism
-By Warner Todd Huston
It has been revealed that some Texas schools were teaching that the Boston Tea Party, an event widely understood as having helped spark the American Revolution, was actually a "terrorist" attack on British authorities.
At least up until January of 2012, Texas schools utilizing the history curriculum from CSCOPE, a non-profit and supposedly non-partisan education service, taught that the most famous tax protest in American history was akin to terrorism.
The tact taken to discuss the event was to engage kids as if the Boston Tea Party had just occurred and was a current news report.

What We Are Thankful For
-By Warner Todd Huston
Like most conservatives, I felt Election Day was the end of the United States of America. I am not convinced going forward that it isn't, either. But on this day of giving thanks for what we do have, it would be a mistake not to be grateful for the things with which we have, in our good fortune, been blessed. There are things that we should and must be thankful for.
What are those things? What should we be thankful for? Well, certainly there are all manner of things we should be thankful for as individuals. Our loved ones, friends, perhaps our health and good fortunes. But, as a nation, there are many things to be thankful for, even if those things seem fleeting. Granted, there are many things other than what I list below that we should be thankful for. I have no intention of claiming this list is comprehensive.
So, first and foremost, as a nation we should be thankful for our founders' vision of a nation created on the premise of self-government, freedom and liberty.

Atheists Lie And Do So On a Billboard!
-By Warner Todd Huston
Talk about making a mistake everyone can see! Atheists in California have done a disservice to their own crusade to spread atheism by launching a new billboard campaign that ascribes a false quote to Thomas Jefferson. That's right, they've essentially become liars for atheism.
In Costa Mesa, California a group of atheists calling themselves Backyard Skeptics have unveiled a billboard to sell atheism to the general public that features a quote they claim came from Thomas Jefferson, the Third President of the United States.
"I do not find in Christianity one redeeming feature," the billboard "quotes" the president as having said. "It is founded on fables and mythology," this quote concludes.
That would be a stinging rebuke of Christianity, indeed… were it true. Unfortunately for this little atheist group it seems that their quote is a fake quote the group found on the Internet and assumed was real.

U.S. Rep. Roskam Marches in Wheaton Memorial Day Parade
-By Warner Todd Huston
Memorial Day Parade, Wheaton, Ill– Illinois Congressman Peter Roskam (R, 6th District) walked in the Wheaton Memorial Day Parade to some applause and ended the exercise by speaking to those assembled at the Wheaton Cemetery to commemorate those that have served us in peace and war and those who gave their last full measure so that we could remain the last best hope of the world.
The weather could not have been better as the parade stepped off this morning. The skies were clear and Summer temperatures had finally arrived. As the route rolled on the heat did tend to rise, though. Still, compared to the dismal weather we've seen the last few months, this Memorial Day was a welcome respite.
Rep. Roskam had a group of about fifty supporters march with him and I joined them to document the event. As we walked the distance from downtown Wheaton to the Wheaton Cemetery it was obvious that the congressman had many fans along the route. There were surprised smiles and a healthy amount of applause as the congressman and his lovely wife led the contingent.

Is The Tea Party Like A Starfish, Like the Apache… Like al Qaeda?

Is The Tea Party Like A Starfish, Like the Apache… Like al Qaeda?
-By Warner Todd Huston
Politico's Kenneth Vogel has an interesting piece on a book that Tea Party activists are starting to glom onto as an administrative guidebook of sorts. The book, "The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations," is a book that explains how leaderless organizations work and can be effective. Of late tea partiers have accepted the tome as a way to explain the success of their movement as well as a way to legitimize their hold on a certain amount of power into the future.
The book, written by two lefty Stanford MBAs, has become what Vogel calls an "unlikely" guidebook for a conservative movement.
The principle of the book is in its title. The spider of the title is the typical top-down organization. Cut the spider's head off and you have a dead spider and presumably, in the analogy, a dead organization. However, a starfish can regenerate itself if it loses an arm. Further that severed arm can also become a starfish that lives on because there is no "head" per se in a starfish. Cut up a starfish and you have many smaller starfish, not a dead one.
The thought is that the tea party movement is like a starfish. No head, no hierarchy, no way to "kill" it in the traditional sense.
Now, I must say one thing about Vogel's piece. It will certainly destroy the left's contention that the tea party movement is an "astroturf" effort. For the entire first year of its existence the left has tried to claim, falsely, that the tea party movement was invented by Fox News, or is a top-down creation by folks like Dick Army, former Congressman and top man for FreedomWorks.

Are We Headed Toward Another Revolution?
-By Warner Todd Huston
We see this sort of thing off and on as political eras wax and wane. The question of whether or not we are only just behind a new revolution starting up in the United States has been repeatedly asked almost since the instant the first one (or even the second one — the Civil War) came to a close.
But are we? Are we about to be plunged into a second revolution of some sort or another? And who will be on what side of this revolution? Angelo Codevilla, professor emeritus of international relations at Boston University, asks this question in the recent issue of the American Spectator and I must say he presents compelling reasons why we might be headed for another revolution.
It's all about "America's Ruling Class," says Codevilla. These elites have lost touch with America and are now solely interested in whats good for the ruling class and not whats good for America and it people.

Reclaiming Our Founding Principles
-By The Heritage Foundation
Happy Birthday America! America is 234 years old. She was born on July 4, 1776, with the passage of the Declaration of Independence. Since then, America has grown from thirteen colonies on the east coast to fill a vast continent. Her economic and military power is envied around the world. And the American people are hardworking, churchgoing, affluent, and generous.
Independence Day is an opportunity each year to remember the root of our success — our founding principles as set forth in the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence serves as a philosophical statement of America's first principles. As Matthew Spalding describes, the Declaration affirms that all men are created equal. By nature, men have a right to liberty that is inalienable, meaning it cannot be given up or taken away. And because individuals equally possess such inalienable rights, governments derive their just powers from the consent of those governed. The purpose of government is to secure these fundamental rights, and the people retain the right to alter or abolish a government that fails to do so.
These principles have made America the great nation it is today. But, since the early 20th century, these principles have been under attack in the academy, the media, and popular culture. So-called progressives have rejected the existence of self-evident truths in the Declaration of Independence and elsewhere. Instead, they embrace the notion of "Progress"that is constant change towards an unspecified end. From these faulty principles, it follows that, all men are not created equal; some people are further along in the historical process than others. There are not permanent rights with which man is endowed. Government creates rights, and these rights evolve according to the demands of the time. There is no need for consent of the governed, just experts who will tell us how to live and how to progress.
This is a serious attack on our principles, but not an insurmountable one.

America is fast coming to a crossroads from which there will be no return if we take the wrong path. Do we take the road that leads away from America and toward a Euro-esque way of governing? Do we cast aside our American character and bury our great nation in a grave of socialist-styled authority? Do we damn our progeny to a failed superstate that violate every tenet of our original ideals?
I say we do not. I say we reject the democrat's Euro-esque ideas and refocus ourselves on American exceptionalism. Our federal system has strayed far from our founding ideals and we may soon find that its time for a new Declaration of Independence from a tyrannical government that has usurped power from proper authority.
Since it is Independence Day this weekend, I offer this new Declaration as a rallying cry to all those willing to return to our true American character…

Publisher's Warning Label: That Constitution and Declaration is No Longer Valid Thinking

Publisher's Warning Label: That Constitution and Declaration is No Longer Valid Thinking
-By Warner Todd Huston
A Virginia-based publisher has decided that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and other founding books are likely offensive and they want their readers to understand that these old documents are no longer valid ways of thinking. And so the publisher, Wilder Publications, has put a warning label on its reprints of America's founding documents and books to shield American's delicate sensibilities.
The warning label reads, "This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today. Parents might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work."
The warning labels appear on copies of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Thomas Paine's Common Sense, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federalist Papers, as well as other founding books and documents the company reprints.

New Navy Ship to be Named After General Benedict Arnold

New Navy Ship to be Named After General Benedict Arnold
-By Warner Todd Huston
Veterans and citizens both have become alarmed at the Navy's plans to name a new amphibious ship after disgraced Revolutionary War General Benedict Arnold. The Navy's newest vessel, a 684-foot, San Antonio class landing-ship, will be named the USS Benedict Arnold said Navy officials.
Arnold was initially a hero of the Revolution before turning against his service and country. His name has become synonymous with traitors ever since.
Despite the glowing comments about the traitor by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, many are rising up in anger over this choice. A Facebook group called "People Against Naming A Navy Ship USS Arnold" is was becoming a clearinghouse for angry comments about the proposed naming…
Oh, wait. That's the USS John P. Murtha, we are talking about. So sorry. It's all so easy to confuse traitor Benedict Arnold with traitor Murtha! There's not too much difference between their public actions after all.

Why Can't Old Media Get History Right Part 2: Boston Herald Muffs Rev War
April 20, 2010 | Filed Under Britain, Democrats/Leftists, Liberals, Media, Media Bias, Newspapers, Revolutionary War, Warner Todd Huston | 1 Comment
-By Warner Todd Huston
Last week I posted a deconstruction of the muffed WWII history as penned by NPR commentator Cokie Roberts. Today I have another example of muddled history in the Old Media. This one is misconstrued Revolutionary War history as published by the Boston Herald. Hard to believe that the Boston Herald, a paper that sits in the cradle of the Revolutionary War, can get Revolutionary War history wrong but such is the degraded state of the Old Media.
In Lexington, Massachusetts on April 19, 2010, reenactors of the Rev War celebrated the 235th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. The Boston Herald reported on the event later that morning and made a mash of its allusions to history.
Re-enactors took to Lexington Green today to recreate the opening moments of the Revolutionary War in front of a crowd of thousands, who gathered for the early-morning ritual.
…The battle that produced the "shot heard 'round the world" was the result of a confrontation between Lexington militia men and British "red coats" on Lexington Green, which escalated into a daylong fight involving 3,500 militia men and 1,500 red coats.
Notice that the Herald called the battle at Lexington between Patriot militiamen and the British Red Coats as the one that, "produced the 'shot heard 'round the world.'" As any first year history student knows, however, the battle that is identified as the one that produced the "shot heard 'round the world" was the Battle at Concord, not the Battle of Lexington.
The phrase comes from the famous poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson who wrote the lines for the 1836 unveiling of the Obelisk erected in Concord, Massachusetts commemorating the Battle of Lexington and Concord.

Live Coverage
Tour de France 2013 Stage 5
Live team coverage of stage 5 at the 100th Tour de France, presented by Clif Bar
Good morning everyone! Welcome to our live coverage of stage 5 at the Tour.
We've got a 228.5-kilometer route from Cagnes-sur-Mer to Marseille today. There's hardly any flat road on this bumpy course, which features four categorized climbs.
Stage 5 profile
GC standings entering today's stage:
1. Simon GERRANS, Orica-GreenEdge, in 12:47:24
2. Daryl IMPEY, Orica-GreenEdge, at :00
3. Michael ALBASINI, Orica-GreenEdge, at :00
4. Michal KWIATKOWSKI, Omega Pharma-Quick Step, at :01
5. Sylvain CHAVANEL, Omega Pharma-Quick Step, at :01
6. Edvald BOASSON HAGEN, Sky, at :03
7. Christopher FROOME, Sky, at :03
8. Richie PORTE, Sky, at :03
9. Nicolas ROCHE, Saxo-Tinkoff, at :09
10. Roman KREUZIGER, Saxo-Tinkoff, at :09
There were some major story lines yesterday: Orica-GreenEdge's sizzling ride in the TTT that led to a 1-second victory over Omega Pharma-Quick Step ...
Simon Gerrans (Orica) taking over the race lead a day after his thrilling sprint victory in stage 3 ...
And the story regarding Cannondale's Ted King, the young American making his Tour de France debut. Ted crashed in the opening stage on Saturday and suffered a separated shoulder. He rode through the pain the next few days. In the TTT, he fell behind his teammates and was ultimately time cut by race organizer ASO.
Cannondale pleaded with officials to allow King back into the race but it ultimately was not a fruitful effort.
"They didn't want to listen to our explanation," said Cannondale spokesman Paolo Barbieri. "Ted was racing with a shoulder injury, and he raced with a road bike. He was very brave. He did not stop fighting. Those are the qualities of cycling, yet they did not want to change their minds. It is Ted's dream to race the Tour. We cannot believe it."
Velo Magazine Editor-in-Chief Neal Rogers, who is on the ground in France, wrote an opinion piece here: velonews.competitor.com
For now, let's move back to today's stage ...
We've got a six-man escape group at the moment.
The breakaway group: Thomas De Gendt (Vacansoleil-DCM), Yukiya Arashiro (Europcar), Kévin Reza (Europcar), Romain Sicard (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) and Anthony Delaplace (Sojasun)
Through the first 80 kilometers, the gap between the break and the peloton is 10:30.
Tour organizer ASO posted some interesting tidbits regarding the yellow jersey to its website this morning:
"There are three Orica-GreenEdge riders in the first three places of GC after 539.5km of racing in the 100th Tour de France. Simon Gerrans is the sixth Australian to wear the yellow jersey, and the third man this year. As there has not been an individual time trial (and thus not fractions of a second to take into consideration) the order on GC is based on positions in each stage. If Gerrans finishes nine places (or more) behind teammate Daryl Impey, he will surrender the yellow jersey to the South African."
More from ASO:
More from ASO:
"No South African has previously worn the Tour's yellow jersey. Impey is the second from his country to win a stage (yesterday's); the first was Robbie Hunter in Montpellier in 2007."
Here's some info about the four climbs in today's stage. The peloton is making its way toward the top of the second ascent now.
Km 22.0 - Côte de Châteauneuf-Grasse1.4 kilometre-long climb at 8.4% - category 3
Km 93.0 - Col de l'Ange1.6 kilometre-long climb at 4.1% - category 4
Km 154.0 - Côte de la Roquebrussanne3.5 kilometre-long climb at 4.2% - category 4
Km 198.0 - Côte des Bastides5.7 kilometre-long climb at 3.1% - category 4
The peloton just crested the Col de l'Ange climb. Orica-GreenEdge is leading the charge, with Stuart O'Grady pulling out front.
Through 100 kilometers, the peloton is 1:10 behind the breakaway group of six riders.
The breakaway riders just rode through the intermediate sprint of the day. Results:
1. De Gendt (VCD) 20pts
2. Lutsenko (AST) 17pts
3. Delaplace (SOJ) 15pts
4. Arashiro (EUC) 13pts
5. Sicard (EUS) 11pts
6. Reza (EUC) 10pts
Entering the day, Peter Sagan (Cannondale) led the green jersey standings with 74 points. A distant second was Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano) with 57. Third was Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) with 48.
123 kilometers in, and the gap is down to 9:55.
Correction: With 123 kilometers LEFT, the gap is down to 9:55.
Close sprint between Sagan, Cavendish, Greipel, and Kristoff as the peloton crosses through the intermediate sprint point. Too close to call but it looked like Greipel nipped everyone by a fraction of a wheel.
After the foursome crossed the sprint line, Sagan bumped shoulders with Cavendish. There was no intent, and Sagan immediately apologized.
should be a test for Cav today with this bumpy route... See how badly he wants green.
Full results from that intermediate sprint:
1. De Gendt (VCD) 20pts
2. Lutsenko (AST) 17pts
3. Delaplace (SOJ) 15pts
4. Arashiro (EUC) 13pts
5. Sicard (EUS) 11pts
6. Reza (EUC) 10pts
7. Greipel (LTB) 9pts
8. Kirstoff (KAT) 8pts
9. Sagan (CAN) 7pts
10. Cavendish (OPQ) 6pts
11. Rojas (MOV) 5pts
12. Henderson (LTB) 4pts
13. Sabatini (CAN) 3pts
14. Boeckmans (VCD) 2pts
15. Sieberg (LTB) 1pt
Just before the sprint a few moments ago, a very disappointed and emotional Ted King spoke to Belgian TV about the early end to his rookie Tour. "We made a petition last night," he said. "But it's just a very hard 7 seconds to prove one way or the other. We were looking for extenuating circumstances, you had the stage one crash, which is just a circumstance of the race. Then yesterday was the fastest time trial in Tour de France history... I would have hoped for a little empathy, but--"
Speaking of sprints, today and the next two stages will likely end in sprint finishes. Velo's European correspondent Andrew Hood has more: velonews.competitor.com
On the difference between his official time and his computer time, King said, "I looked at my results afterwards, I was doing the calculations. I understand they're not going to look at that, that they're not going to look at my computer, but that's part of the disappointment." He added that it was especially hard to have seen his time and think he made the cut, then find out later that race officials did not agree.
Great stuff, Dan. Thanks for chiming in.
King also said he felt that if he had made it through the TTT yesterday, he could have finished the Tour. "I am on the mend," he said. "I knew the first week was going to be enormously difficult. It was a huge roller coaster. [After the crash] I thought I was out immediately, but then I got the scans and there was no fracture. I thought I could get through today fine, the next few flat stages, then would have a rest day to recover." He said he will now spend some time with his parents, who are at the race, then take a short midseason break before deciding on his program for the remainder of the season.
Sure, Jason! On a personal note, I have to add how disappointed I am that I won't be able to see Ted King race in person when I join Velo's coverage team on the ground next week. I know journalists are supposed to be unbiased, but I used to live in New Hampshire before moving to Belgium, and it's impossible not to cheer for a hometown hero like him.
I agree, it's tough to see a kid like him go home early. I also grew up near Ted's hometown so I was rooting for him too.
Another ongoing story at this year's Tour has been that of Geraint Thomas. The Sky rider broke his pelvis in a stage 1 crash and has remained on his bike since, riding through the pain.
Geraint surprisingly rode well in the TTT, even doing some pulls at the front of Sky's paceline on the 25km route. He held on with his teammates until the final kilometer, at which point he dropped back and finished solo.
Geraint Thomas after the TTT:
"I think the adrenalin, being really up for it, [helped]. I managed to grit my teeth and stay with the boys. Once we were at speed it was okay. In the line you can sort of stay in there, and I even gave them a couple of turns, everything I had. I'm really chuffed that I can put out a bit more power now so the pain is definitely getting less."

As the fourth season of "Revenge" gets closer to airing, more spoilers and hints are being released. The latest is the addition of a new character that will surprisingly be in Victoria's corner. TV Line reported on Monday that actor Nestor Serrano will be playing Edward Alvarez on the drama. The actor's credits include "Blue Bloods" and "Dexter" as well as "90210."
Edward Alvarez will be a recurring character on "Revenge" season 4. The character is described as being a "commanding and perceptive police chief" who is in Victoria's corner. Executive producer Sunil Nayar said that Alvarez will have Victoria's back at a time when she really needs it. More information was not released because they are just starting to explore the character. Sunil said that they are not sure where they are headed with the police chief, but they do like the idea of Victoria having a friend in a position of authority.
For Victoria Grayson to have a police chief in her corner might not turn out so well for Emily Thorne. Even though Emily will try to live in truth next season, Victoria wants payback. She isn't the type to forgive and forget, so it makes sense that fans are speculating that Victoria and Alvarez will make Emily's life difficult. It will be interesting to see if Victoria manipulates him or if he knows exactly what kind of friend he has.
Other new characters joining the "Revenge" family include Yeardley Smith (The Simpson's) as a mental patient, Brian Hallisay (The Client List) as Ben and Elena Santine (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) as Louise Ellis. James Tupper, the actor who plays David Clarke, has been promoted to series regular.
What do you think of Serrano joining the show? What will his storyline be on the upcoming season? ABC's "Revenge" will return on Sept. 28.

Top Pick:
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Messed Up by Janet Nichols Lynch
Somebody by Nancy Springer
The Tomorrow Code by Brian Falkner
This is Week 1 of a 12-Week series of blog posts reviewing new young adult books. Check back each Monday for a new review.
For me, summer reading is all about escaping somewhere else. The new vista doesn't have to be pretty, but it does need to be interesting. The world of Incarceron, introduced in the novel Incarceron by Catherine Fisher, delivers an escape like nothing else (for the reader, although not for the poor souls trapped within). Incarceron is a prison, but not like the prisons we are familiar with. It is a world unto itself, with areas of ruins and forests, and some wildernesses so wild that they are only whispered of but never traversed. Incarceron is also aware in a way that most prisons are not - it reacts to the prisoners' actions, manipulating them, and watching them with a pulsing, Sauron-like eye.
Our hero in the world of Incarceron is Finn, a seventeen-year-old prisoner who is considered "cell born" and remembers only vague memories of his life before he became aware three years ago. He is part of a band of rogues that troll the prison, called the Comitatus. He also has some freaky fainting spells, complete with visions. He believes that he was born "Outside" but no one believes him because that is very rare.
Cafe Book 2010 has come to a close at Heim Middle School. We had a great time sharing new books and talking about them all while eating lunch. 7th and 8th grade students came together, ate, and talked about new books in the school library. After all the final votes were tallied ... the results are...
Top Picks:
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
In a future North America, where the rulers of Panem maintain control through an annual televised survival competition pitting young people from each of the twelve districts against one another, sixteen-year-old Katniss's skills are put to the test when she voluntarily takes her younger sister's place.
Eon Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman
Sixteen-year-old Eon hopes to become an apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune and learn to be its main interpreter, but to do so will require much, including keeping secret that she is a girl.
Other Favorites:
The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Messed Up by Janet Nichols Lynch
The Tomorrow Code by Brian Faulkner
Antsy Does Time by Neal Shusterman
If the Witness Lied by Caroline Cooney
For City of Bones, I would recommend,
Lament (and its sequel Ballad) by Maggie Stiefvater.
On the day of an important music competition, talented but painfully introverted and nervous Deirdre Monaghan is helped to perform by the compelling and enigmatic Luke Dillon and finds herself inexorably drawn into the mysteries and dangers of the faerie world.
Wicked Lovely (and its sequels Ink Exchange and Fragile Eternity) by Melissa Marr .
Or at least its harmful rays.
Spending the afternoon outdoors without sunscreen is asking for trouble now and way into the future. Burn marks are not attractive. Wrinkles--or worse yet, possibly skin cancer--will eventually be a problem if you don't protect your skin now. You will definitely need sunscreen so go ahead and get it now before you're spirited off on a picnic or a trip to the beach. Look for the SPF rating of at least 15 and also make sure it has UVA protection. Apply it half an hour before going out and reapply it after getting in the water or sweating.
If you're a fan of the Chaos Walking series, you'll be excited to hear that the third book in the trilogy, Monsters of Men, will hit U.S. bookstores on September 28, 2010. In the meantime, you can enjoy this trailer and maybe re-read The Knife of Never Letting Go and The Ask and The Answer.
If you haven't heard of this series yet (and you love intense, action-packed, dystopian novels), check out this blog post.
It was a dark and rainy night . . . but that didn't stop fans from coming out in droves to hear Maggie Stiefvater at the Salem Church Library, this past Monday! Books clutched in hands, hoping for an autograph, teens and adults alike were eager to hear this famous local author speak about reading, writing, and authorship.

By Rev. Linda Gunderson
Synod Minister
The central mark of a missional congregation remains constant – Resurrection: A missional congregation lives in the power of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. In the Risen Christ all things are possible. (Rev. Dr. Stephen Bouman, Executive Director for Evangelical Outreach and Congregational Mission, ELCA)
A culture of abundance is a mark of a missional congregation. As people of faith completely covered by God's grace, assuming scarcity harms the community's witness. Assuming scarcity and advocating fear stifles the generosity of individuals and community.
A culture of abundance releases generosity and celebrates, even in difficult times, the amazing grace of God who provides enough for all. Generosity is not contingent on wealth or economics, it is a matter of the heart, a matter of faith. A culture of abundance allows all the gifts of the community to be celebrated and put to good use in God's world. It asks everyone to participate and see their place within God's creation as a steward without regard for class, status, or tradition.
This fall pastors and leaders have participated in Excelling in Mission…A Generous Undertaking events in the Southeastern Minnesota Synod. Resources for mission planning and mission support are available online (semnsynod.org/excelling-in-mission) or from synod staff and other leaders. Planning in mission and mission support assumes abundance – that communities of faith, true to their tradition and looking to the future, know that God is at work and their work is God's.
Congregations with a culture of generosity that trust God's abundant goodness witness to the power of God's grace and their hopefulness in Christ. Such congregations are flexible in mission and able to address needs with open hands and hearts.
Pr. Linda

Ajmal Perfumes, a regional manufacturer of fragrances, announced Tuesday, August 7, the launch of a new fragrance for men called Expedition. Ajmal also began offering its fragrances for sale online this year.
The Middle East fragrance market is currently estimated at around five billion dollars a year, and has risen more than tenfold since 1950. Perfume-wearing habits in the Middle East are expected to undergo a radical change over the next couple of years, with consumers moving towards a more back-to-basics usage pattern, Nazir Ajmal, marketing director of Ajmal Perfumes told the India Abroad Daily.
The most popular fragrance under the Ajmal name was Sarah. Begining as a 5,000-piece test-marketing exercise, the Sara perfume sold over one million bottles across the region since its launch in 1991.
The Dubai-based group of companies, established by an the Indian Ajmal family in 1951, operates a sales and distribution network of nearly 50 exclusive retail shops spread throughout the GCC countries, in addition to some 500 dealers throughout the Middle East. The company plans to open five more stores in the GCC to mark its 50th year in business — three in the UAE and two in Saudi Arabia. — (Mena Report)

"If [American Idol] was the Olympics, I'd still get a medal. It was a great race." -Kimberley Locke
Kimberley Locke shot to fame on American Idol, where she finished third, out-voted by only Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard. She parlayed that success into a budding singing career of her own, with the hit singles "8th World Wonder," "Wrong" and "You've Changed," from her debut CD, One Love.
Millions watched and voted for her on American Idol in 2003, so Kimberley was certainly a household name. Her solid, though unspectacular, record sales mean that she's come down from that heyday; but as long as Kimberley produces excellent material, she may well maintain, and even increase, her fan base.
Kimberley Locke BiographyKimberley Dawn Locke was born on January 3, 1978, in Hartsville, Tennessee, just outside Nashville. Kimberley's parents, Christine and Donald, divorced when she was 7, and Kimberley went to live with her mother in nearby Gallatin, Tennessee.
Some of Kimberley's earliest memories were of singing along to tapes her mother had bought; she remembers one drive with her father where she didn't want the radio on so she could sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" after she had seen The Wizard of Oz.
When she was in the seventh grade, Kimberley and her friends formed an all-girl group called Shadz of U. They did a lot of gospel and a cappella material, performing at local churches. "On some Sundays," Kimberley later revealed, "we would perform at five different churches in one day." In high school, Kimberley joined the choir and was soon picked for the select group The Performers, which helped her develop her craft.

After high school, Kimberley attended Belmont University in Nashville, majoring in business education. While she felt the university's school of music was too competitive, Kimberley continued to perform with local Nashville bands such as Black Widow and The Imperials.
In 2000, Kimberley stopped performing, finished her undergraduate degree, and by 2002, she was working as an administrative assistant and had enrolled in law school.
But Kimberley's sister-in-law and other friends urged her to try out for American Idol, which was looking for contestants for its second series. Kimberley decided to give it a shot, and kept progressing through the early rounds of elimination.
Eventually, she made it to Los Angeles, where she faced a choice: the auditions for the final round were to take place a week after she was scheduled to begin law school, so if she wanted to be on Idol, she'd have to postpone her admission.

Of course, Kimberley decided to stick with American Idol, which proved to be the right choice. She kept making the cut, into the Top 32, the Top 10, and finally the Top 3, when she was voted off the show by a narrow, 2% margin.
Nevertheless, she has no animosity toward finalists Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard, whom Kimberley had met and competed with early on in the competition. "I love Clay and Ruben, and I was happy for them," she said. She even got to sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," her childhood favorite.
After Kimberley left the show, her American Idol experience made a positive impact on her future. She returned for An American Idol Christmas in late 2003, and was featured on TV specials like Motown 45 and 101 Most Starlicious Makeovers in 2004.

Kimberley's high ranking on Idol also led to a recording contract with Curb Records. By spring 2004, she had released the single "8th World Wonder," which debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 Sales Chart at No. 1, as well as "Wrong" and the acclaimed "You've Changed" from her debut album, One Love.
In October 2004, Kimberley kicked off her first solo tour, One Love Live, in Springfield, Massachusetts.

"If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15)
"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." (John 15:10)
"...Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." (John 5:14)
"...Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." (John 8:11)
In each of these quotes, the Savior was telling us how to live our lives for Him. In two, He clearly invites us to keep the commandments. In the other two, we are commanded to "sin no more". What is sin? Sin is disobedience. What must we obey? The commandments.
We have explored the greatest commandment, the second greatest commandment, and the Ten Commandments. Did you know there are more? Much as the ten commandments teach us how to keep the greatest commandments, there are statutes which elaborate on the Ten Commandments and some are simply miscellaneous laws regarding civil matters.
Some may scoff at this, saying the Law was "nailed to the cross". This is true, but only a type of the Law was fulfilled, which is the ceremonial law. When the New Testament scriptures were translated from Greek to English, clarification of some words was lost. In the old Testament, there were two sets of Law. One set, moral laws, were placed within the ark of the covenant. Another set, the ceremonial laws, were placed beside it (Exodus 40:20, Deuteronomy 31:26).
Another argument for disobedience is that the Law was given to the Israelites only. Those who are called out by the Savior are descendants of the lost tribes (Matthew 10:6, 15:24)! If you have sincerely heard His beckoning, then you ARE a descendant of Israel and should yield to the Law (Matthew 5:17).
Additionally, without the moral law, there is no definition of sin. This means we are in a state of lawlessness. Therefore, all things would be lawful, including murder, rape, and theft. It is not for us to choose which laws we will obey, and which ones we will refuse. All of the moral law covers us, not just parts and pieces as we elect.
There is a small, growing movement in the Wapello County and Jefferson County area to remove pagan traditions from Christianity. To find a meeting, text or leave a message at 641-451-1111. Peace in the Savior.

I recently bought the ultimate edition of Dragon Age: Origins, which includes the Awakening expansion pack and all the DLC. It looks like the DLC is modular and isn't integrated into the game; do I need to play them separately? How do I access them?
The following DLC are integrated into the main game, and you can access them any time after you gain access to the region map:
The following are more-or-less item packs, and you should have access to them by the time you gain access to your party's camp:
The following are separate stories requiring you to select them as you start a new game:
Note 1: Can import your character from Dragon Age: Origins, but your companions don't follow you and you can't access the main storyline or the other DLC (except for the non-Feastday items that you might've imported with your character).
They tie into the main game. When you view your map, the DLC will unlock a few places that you can visit at anytime.
The DLC should be shown as a place you can visit with a Golden tint: Such as the The Stone Prisoner, etc.
To clarify, the DLC can be played side by side with the original Dragon Age: Origins. The Awakening expansion pack must be played separately as those events take place after origins.

Dec. 29, 2001
TUCSON, Ariz.- Arizona's head volleyball coach David Rubio has been the 2001 ASICS/Volleyball Magazine National Coach-of-the-Year, the publication announced on Friday. Rubio was honored as the nation's top coach for leading the Wildcats to a 25-5 overall record and the first NCAA Final Four appearance in school history in 2001. It is his third national coach-of-the-year honor in his 15-year career, but the first at the Division I level.

It is the second consecutive season she has been recognized by Volleyball Magazine, making her the first player in Arizona history to be named a two-time All-American by two different organizations. She was named to her second straight AVCA All-America team early this month.
Classmate Talbot, who was also named first-team All-America by the AVCA, garnered third-team honors from Volleyball Magazine.
