Are you tired of making small splashes in the rain puddles this summer? Make a big splash at Georgia's water parks!
1. Six Flags White Water in Marietta: Six Flags White Water is one of the Travel Channel's Top Family Water Parks in the United States. The park is packed with more than 50 water rides from the Cliffhanger's 90-foot free fall to the S.S. Feathersword, an interactive play ship that is perfect for kids.
2. Splash Island at Wild Adventures in Valdosta: Get swept down the Wahee Cyclone at Wild Adventures' Splash Island. The cyclone will flush riders down a 45-foot funnel into the waves below. Splash Island also offers a less adrenaline-pumping tube ride down Paradise River among other rides.
3. Splash in the Boro in Statesboro: Splash in the Boro is home to the only dual flowrider in Georgia. Surf Flowrider's unbroken wave, and ride up the wave's surface. If you aren't up for hanging ten, grab an inner tube, and float down the 800-foot Lazy River.
4. SoakYa Water Park at Lake Winnepesaukah: Celebrate SoakYa Water Park's five-acre expansion, the largest expansion in the park's history. Splash in the pools, fly down the new slides and soak up the sun on the poolside beach.
5. Summer Waves Water Park in Jekyll Island: Watch out for the larger-than-life splash bucket in the Splash Zone at Summer Waves Water Park. The bucket will tip over and drench you if you aren't careful. Also, beware of Nature's Revenge on the Tornado and Hurricane water slides.
6. Lanier World at Lake Lanier Islands Resort: The Big Beach at Lake Lanier offers fun in the sun for kids and adults. From the kid-friendly Wiggle Waves to the twists and turns of the Twister, Lanier World has something fun for the entire family.

Renovations to a big piece of American history began Monday in Appomattox County.
The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park started renovating the McLean House on Monday. That's where General Lee surrendered to General Grant to end the Civil War.
Crews are replacing the front porch. The house will remain open during the renovation, but visitors will have to enter the house through the back door.
The biggest change will be for people looking to take pictures in front of the porch. Large portions of the porch are being replaced. Scaffolding will also be in front of the building.
It's been more than 20 years since any restoration work was done to the front porch. The front stairs, decking on the porch, and support beams underneath the porch will all be replaced. All painted surfaces will be stripped and repainted.
The work is expected to be completed this fall.

Face-Off for a Cure
On Monday March 21st, over 450 guests came together at the spectacular Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City to celebrate "Face-Off for a Cure: An Evening to Benefit Autism Speaks and The Gillen Brewer School" – an event in partnership with the National Hockey League.
The evening began with cocktails and a silent auction in the museum's Great Hall, with guests bidding on items such as tickets to the 2012 Winter Classic, a jersey signed by dozens of NHL Alum players, and an All-Star branded hockey puck, signed by Rick Nash, #61. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman posed for photos with such hockey greats as Pat LaFontaine and Ken Daneyko, as well as Coach Scott Wiley of the Colgate Women's Hockey Team. After cocktails guests moved into the awe-inspiring Temple of Dedur in the Sackler Wing, where the light of the setting sun was simulated on the temple walls, and guests gathered to hear remarks by event emcee, NBC Nightly News Correspondent Peter Alexander.
The evening's honorees, Frank D'Amelio, EVP, Business Operations & Chief Financial Officer, Pfizer; Brian Monihan, Senior Vice President & General Manger, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia; Andrew Robertson, President, Chief Executive Officer BBDO Worldwide; and Richard Segal, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Seavest, Inc., each addressed the crowd with mentions of their own personal relationships to autism and philanthropy. The night's end brought a special surprise for the audience- a visit from Lord Stanley himself- The Stanley Cup- after which guests had an opportunity to make pledges towards two specific programs for Autism Speaks and The Gillen Brewer School. Face Off for a Cure raised over $1.1 million and counting.
Autism Speaks would like to thank our event Co-Chairs, Henry Schacht, Chairman, The Gillen Brewer School; Tim Solso, Chairman and CEO, Cummins Inc.; Gary Bettman, Commissioner, National Hockey League; Paul Tagliabue, Former Commissioner, National Football League; and Suzanne & Bob Wright, Founders of Autism Speaks. We would also like to recognize our friends at the Gillen Brewer School, the NHL, the evening's honorees, special guests and our many wonderful sponsors and patrons who supported Face Off for a Cure to make it a resounding success.
For additional coverage of the event, please visit The Wall Street Journal.

Result: Beat Louisiana Tech 52-43
Grade: A
Comment: Tough to award an A+ when the opposition scores six touchdowns and gains 541 yards. But the Spartans actually played well defensively -- LaTech had been averaging more than 50 points per game. ... SJSU converted 8 of 13 third down chances, gained 610 yards and averaged 5.9 yards per rush. ... Loads of sparkling individual performances, from Bené Benwikere's three second-half interceptions to De'Leon Eskridge's 217 rushing yards. .... Victory caps a remarkable turnaround for the Spartans, who were 1-12 two years ago. Now the program is in better shape than many of those in their new home, the Mountain West.
Next up: Bowl game
The matchup: Unknown. The Spartans probably won't participate in a bowl game in the Pacific time zone. SJSU is likely to land somewhere in the eastern half of the country (the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit, for instance). ... The other great unknown is the future of coach Mike MacIntyre, one of the hottest names in the country and a potential candidate for any number of vacancies.

AMERICUS, Ga. – In a battle of league unbeatens, the University of South Carolina Aiken men's basketball team remained perfect in Peach Belt Conference play with a 67-64 road win over Georgia Southwestern on Thursday evening at the Storm Dome.
The game started with neither team really able to claim any separation over the first 10 minutes with the score knotted at 14-14.
USC Aiken (7-3, 3-0 PBC) would then go on a short 6-3 run over the next two and a half minutes to go ahead by three at 20-17.
The two teams would enter intermission with the game tied at 30-30.
USC Aiken closed out the first half shooting 44.4 percent (12-for-27) as a team. Georgia Southwestern (6-4, 2-1 PBC) shot 55 percent (11-for-20) from the field as a team in the first stanza.
Seven different Pacers scored in the first half with Paul Larsen leading the way with eight points.
With just over 10 minutes to play in the second half, Georgia Southwestern owned a narrow one-point lead over USC Aiken at 46-45.
Behind a 3-pointer by Santoine Butler (Augusta, Ga./Gardner-Webb) and two consecutive treys by Kinley Branch (Stone Mountain, Ga./Arkansas State) the Pacers were able to go on a quick 9-0 run to take a 54-46 advantage with 8:51 to play in the second half.
Georgia Southwestern would then battle its way back into the contest and the game would be tied at 59-all with 4:17 left in the second stanza.
USC Aiken would then go on 8-2 run to pull ahead by six points at 67-61 with 2:43 left in the contest.
The Pacers would be held scoreless the rest of the way, but Jamon Hawkins' 3-point attempt at the buzzer for Georgia Southwestern to send the game into overtime would fall short to allow USC Aiken to secure the three-point win.
In total, USC Aiken held Georgia Southwestern without a field goal for the final 5:18 of the game. Georgia Southwestern's final eight points of the game would come at the free throw line.
MERICUS, Ga. – The nationally third-ranked University of South Carolina Aiken women's basketball team showed no ill effects from its 15-day holiday hiatus in a 84-51 Peach Belt Conference victory over Georgia Southwestern on Thursday evening at the Storm Dome.
The win helped the Pacers improve to a perfect 10-0 on the 2012-13 season. In the midst of the best start in program history, the Pacers are now 3-0 in Peach Belt Conference action.
USC Aiken at 10-0 presently is now just two wins away from tying the 2011-12 Pacer squad for the longest winning streak in program history. The 2011-12 Pacers won 12 straight games from Nov. 12, 2011-Jan. 16, 2012.
USC Aiken behind three 3-pointers from Daniela Tarailo opened the contest on an 11-4 run over the course of the first two and a half minutes of the contest. Tarailo's third trey of the game forced Georgia Southwestern into a time out with a little over 17 minutes remaining in the first half.
Tarailo (Crown Point, Ind./Crown Point HS) would continue to pile up the early points with her 14 points in the opening minutes of the game along with six points from Kayla Harris (Raleigh, N.C./Wakefield HS) helping to guide the Pacers to a 20-6 advantage with just under 15 minutes to play in the first stanza.
The Pacers would eventually extend their lead to as many as 34 points in the first half before entering intermission with a 51-20 advantage.
USC Aiken closed out the first stanza shooting 54.1 percent (20-for-37) as a team. The Pacers held Georgia Southwestern (2-8, 0-3 PBC) to just 28.6 percent (8-for-28) shooting as a team in the first half.
Both Tarailo (18) and Harris (10) closed out the first half in double figures.
Brittany Hill (Mechanicsville, Va./Quinnipiac) assisted on 10 of USC Aiken's 20 made field goals as a team in the first half.
The second half would be much more competitive, but the Pacers nevertheless had still pushed their lead to 35 points at 82-47 with 3:21 remaining in the contest.
USC Aiken would go on to outscore Georgia Southwestern, 33-31, in the second half.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Many days this winter have been almost spring-like, which is great for hikers, bikers and skiers looking to ply the slopes in T-shirts. But it's bad for bears, who need their seasonal slumber and a wet winter to provide for their summer feasts.
"We started to get really worried," said Ann Bryant, executive director of the BEAR League. "A lot of them that had gone to bed were waking back up."
But with the generally warmer weather and little precipitation, bears have been reported wandering from their dens. The unusual conditions have also impacted other forms of wildlife in the Lake Tahoe Basin.
The BEAR League has received more than 25 calls from people reporting bear activity, Bryant said.
"I just got hit myself last night," said Cheryl Millham, one of the founders and the director of Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care.
The bear broke down the door to Millham's aviary, looking for food, she said. She's never had bear problems this time of year, she added.
"This guy was obviously hungry," she said. "We've never had them break down doors before."
Millham has also been keeping an eye on the birds around Lake Tahoe. She's seeing migratory species here now that don't usually arrive until March and April.
"The bird movement around here is about a month-and-a-half early," she said. "The robins are already up and they don't typically come until spring."
A snowstorm could spell the end of the robins and threshes that are here for warmer weather, Millham said.
"If we get a big storm, the birds that are here are all dead if they can't find food," she said. "They won't leave again until after the season."
But some biologists don't agree that anything especially out of the ordinary is happening.
"It may be a little atypical in the number of bears this year, but it's not unheard of for bears to not hibernate," said Cristen Langner, an environmental scientist with the California Department of Fish and Game who focuses on bears in the Lake Tahoe Basin. "Even when they do hibernate, it's not uncommon for bears to wake up and leave the den."
Carl Lackey, a wildlife biologist with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, said he's responded to a few calls of bears sleeping under houses, but that's about it.
A dry winter poses bigger concerns than just waking up bears from their beauty sleep, Lackey said.
"The spring precipitation we hope for is what really brings on the late summer, early fall berry crop," Lackey said. "Without that, a lot of bears will come down and get into the garbage."
Bryant is also fearful of what could happen if the vegetation doesn't get the precipitation it needs to bear fruit. She remembers the exceptionally dry summer of 2007 when there were as many as 25 bear break-ins a day.
"We don't want a repeat of that," Bryant said. "We need some moisture, some storms."

You have probably heard that aspirin prevents heart attacks in people with heart disease . But did you know that it also works in healthy people without pre-existing cardiovascular problems? Research has shown that aspirin is effective in preventing first heart attacks in healthy people who have risk factors for the disease. It does this by staving off blood clots that can trigger heart attacks. But does this mean everyone should be taking aspirin therapy? According to the studies, the answer to that question is no, unless you have risk factors for the disease.
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent panel of medical experts, recommends aspirin therapy in the following groups:
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends aspirin therapy for people who are considered to be at high risk of having a heart attack. A person is high risk if they have conditions such as established heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, chronic renal disease, or diabetes. People may also be at high risk they have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or smoke.
Heart disease is more common in people age 65 years or older, especially men. The risk is higher in people of African American, Mexican American, Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Asian American descent.
According to the AHA, major risk factors for heart disease include:
If you think aspirin therapy may be right for you, be sure to discuss the pros and cons with your doctor. The discussion should take into account your calculated risk for heart disease, the known protective effects of aspirin, potential side effects (such as gastrointestinal bleeding), factors that increase your risk of side effects, and your personal preferences about medical care.

Neiman Marcus testing app that tells it you are in the store
Updated at 10:15 a.m.
Neiman Marcus is braving some new territory in the mobile space.
It's testing a new app in four stores in Texas and California that tells it a customer has arrived and allows sales associates to interact with her.
The test stores are in Dallas (at NorthPark Center), Austin, San Francisco and Palo Alto. The app which was developed by Signature and is called NM Service, is only available on iPhones.
Those concerned with privacy issues may balk, but like Four Square and other coupon apps that have been in use for a couple of years, the customer is opting into the service agreeing to be detected. Some people want instant information that's relevant to them on their phones as they shop.
When a customer downloads the app from iTunes she has to opt into the service.That will allow in-store location sensors to detect her, automatically prompting NM Service to act.
The customer receives a list of her preferred sales associates who are currently in the store. The feed includes upcoming store events, new product arrivals and sales, and emerging fashion trends.
Customers can also mark favorite products, which will automatically be visible to her sales associates. The app allows customers to make appointments or leave messages for store staff.
For the sales associate, the app makes them look really smart with alerts that their customer is in the store, provides access to the customer's purchase history at its stores and online and includes a Facebook photograph of the customer.
"The NM Service app allows us to take our service philosophy into the digital era. We look forward to using this cutting edge technology to make our client-sales associate relationship even stronger, and further enhancing the Neiman Marcus shopping experience," said Jim Gold, president of specialty retail at the Neiman Marcus Group.
Signature CEO David Hegarty said the mobile app has been designed by the San Francisco-based company to "re-imagine the personal touch" and "set a new benchmark in customer service."
Dallas-based Neiman Marcus is also reporting earnings later today.

Science education, as it is presented on many TV documentaries, in my humble opinion, seems to rely on the assumption you have to have everything fast and flashy. It's nothing new. TV news is often the same way, as are other programs. It's not only TV. A few years back I had an opportunity to return to a major planetarium which I had not visited for well over 20 years. Sitting under the huge dome, as the lights went down I hoped for a relaxing presentation of the beauty of the night sky.
Instead, the program was presented with rapid and bright- and very noisy- special effects, taking the visitor on an imagined cosmic ride that would have given Dr. Albert Einstein whiplash. The lesson was brought out about the current, prevailing theory of star formation and how generations of stars, through supernova explosions, spread heavier elements across space and add to the composition of developing worlds.
Although I enjoyed much of the show, my misgiving was in the impression that space, as we experience it, is fast and active. It certainly is, with particles of matter and energy flying at nearly the speed of light, and some dense stars whirling about at incredible rates.
The distances, however, are so vast that they are practically unfathomable on human terms. This perspective puts the human view of the Universe at an incredibly still pace. It seems so still, that the constellations you see tonight are virtually exactly the same that the builders of the Egyptian pyramids or the first Native Americans who hunted down the last of the mastodons, admired over their heads.
Rather, the night sky as we see it, is subtle and quiet. Ideally, its only musical backdrop is a chorus of crickets or peep toads, the hooting of an owl or howling of a distant coyote. We do witness the march of the sky as it slowly revolves, as the Earth spins around. If you use a backyard telescope and start locating distant star clusters or galaxies, you find them in their expected position in comparison to nearby foreground stars, as if they don't move at all. They are even plotted on paper in star atlases and charts, which are good to use year after year. Yet, those star clusters and galaxies are moving at great speed. They are so distant you don't notice it.
Astronomers are able to detect their relative speed and if the object is moving away or towards the observer, through use of a spectroscope, which breaks up the light into its rainbow of colors. Elements making up the stars in the cluster of galaxy- hydrogen or helium for example- absorb specific wavelengths of the light. The result is fine black lines at specific places in the spectrum of color. This information tells the astronomer both what elements are present, and the speed and motion of the object. Stars receding from us move towards the red light; approaching, towards the blue end of their spectrum.
Page 2 of 2 - This is done through noticing how the black lines slightly shift, either towards the red (longer wavelengths) or violet (shorter wavelengths) of the spectrum. This shift is called the "Doppler effect." It is very much like the changing pitch of a car engine as it races past you, and the accompanying police siren that hopefully is not too far behind.
You can certainly get a lot out of TV documentaries and planetarium shows. Naturally, they only have so much time to present a lot of facts, and often the visual explanation is the best way to explain complex concepts. Many are worth watching or seeing. Balance the presentation, if you can, with even a few minutes outside under the night sky, or a view from a window with the room lights turned off. See how the incredibly distant stars sail by ever so slowly as the night goes by, and the constellations keep their familiar shape.
Whether you see for instance the Big Dipper low in the north, or the Great Square of Pegasus nearly overhead on a mid-autumn evening, they remain the friendly stars, looking the same year to year and just as your great grandparents enjoyed as well.
New Moon is on November 3.

Dental hygienists – are you looking for a pair of safety glasses that won't slide down your nose?

Habitat for Humanity and WomenBuild volunteers- You have come to the right place. Try our exclusively designed women's tool pouches. They are perfect for DIYers and weekend warriors, but heavy duty enough to be on any job site everyday of the week. Is your tool belt too heavy?

And we actually stock women's fall protection gear for immediate shipment, because when you need fall protection there is no time to wait. We have the number one women's safety harness – Ms. Miller.
Charm and Hammer has the largest variety of women's safety products you will find anywhere on the planet – speaking of the planet – we ship worldwide! Yes all over the world. We've shipped to so many countries; it is easier to name the ones we have not shipped to. Where do you live? I bet we have shipped women's safety gear and a pink tool belt to your town or city nearby. We also ship to US Military address (APO/FPO) as well as Hawaii, Alaska the US Virgin Islands and yes we have even shipped to the US Embassy in Russia. Okay only once, but how many companies can say that even once! We have shipped over ten thousand safety equipment and women's workwear orders since 2002.
We have appeared in the Style section of the Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Fort Worth Construction News, and the Who's Who in Safety Directory of Workplace Magazine. Charmandhammer.com was featured in a magazine in Japan. Unfortunately the only words we can read are the title of the article (Help Protect Women with the Right PPE) and the name of our website (lol). If you are able to translate it we would sincerely appreciate your effort. Over the years, we have been featured in Builder Magazine, BLR, National Safety Council's Health and Safety Magazine, and an occasional guest columnist in Lift and Access Magazine , and a variety of articles and feature products in other trade magazines. We don't always toot our own horn, because, after all, that is a man thing, right?
We are a 100% U.S. women owned small business. And we like to find other businesses that are like us. Small businesses such as our safety vest manufacturer that employs a handicap shelter and the hard hat manufacturer that gives fifty cents from EVERY wholesale order to the local catastrophic care hospital and supports breast cancer awareness organizations. We go out of our way to chose manufacturers that give back to the community. Our purchasing department personnel (me, myself and I) research the vendors and where the products come from. We cannot say that all of our products are made in the US. Rest assured if says it is made in the US, we've researched it and chose that product over another vendor for that reason.
For women who prefer pink, we carry hard hats in a variety of shades of pink: some call the hot pink, neon or hi-vis, but we prefer good old fashion hot pink hard hat – this is our best seller. Other pink hard hats include light pink , although some refer to the light pink as barbie doll pink, bubblegum or pale pink. There is even a manufacturer that calls it palace rose (fit for a queen don't you agree?) . Then there is the vented pink hard hat , I would call this pink a lavender pink. Who know there were so many shades of pink hard hats. We didn't always carry pink, in fact we refused to carry pink safety equipment at first. We did not think people would take us seriously. But after years of countless requests to carry pink, we thought perhaps pink was in. So we added pink, purple and every color in the rainbow and then some. Much to our surprise, pink is in and so is red, black, purple and did I mention purple – yes our purple hard hat is gaining in popularity. In fact our purple tool belt and hard hat gift set out sells all the other tool belt gift sets. Some women aren't afraid of wearing bold colors that designate them as a different gender on the job. Though we realize that does not represent every woman on the job site. So we offer the typical safety equipment – still sized and designed for women of course just not in the bold colors.

About the Book
Widely regarded as the modern C. S. Lewis, N. T. Wright, one of the world's most trusted and popular Bible scholars and the bestselling author of Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope, presents a manifesto urging Christians to live and pray the Bible's Psalms in The Case for the Psalms.
Wright seeks to reclaim the power of the Psalms, which were once at the core of prayer life. He argues that, by praying and living the Psalms, we enter into a worldview, a way of communing with God and knowing him more intimately, and receive a map by which we understand the contours and direction of our lives. For this reason, all Christians need to read, pray, sing, and live the Psalms. By providing the historical, literary, and spiritual contexts for reading these hymns from ancient Israel's songbook, The Case for the Psalms provides the tools for incorporating these divine poems into our sacred practices and into our spirituality itself.
One of the world's most trusted Bible scholars, N. T. Wright turns his attention to the central collection of prayers that Jesus and Paul knew best: the book of Psalms. Wright points out that the Psalms have served as the central prayer and hymnbook for the church since its beginning—until now. In The Case for the Psalms, Wright calls us to return to the Psalms as a steady, vital component of healthy Christian living.
Reading, studying, and praying the Psalms is God's means for teaching us what it means to be human: how to express our emotions and yearnings, how to reconcile our anger and our compassion, how to see our story in light of God's sweeping narrative of salvation. Wright provides the tools for understanding and incorporating these crucial verses into our own lives. His conclusion is simple: all Christians need to read, pray, sing, and live the Psalms.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"A characteristic blend of learning, personal insight and spiritual perception. This book will be of enormous help to Christians who want to know how to make fuller use of one of the greatest scriptural resources for prayer." — Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury
"Prayer is an act of rebellion. In this incisive and fresh look at the Book of the Psalms, N. T. Wright invites us to enter an alternative worldview that the Psalms embody. Let this book lead you to the Psalms—but beware, it's the wardrobe door into a new world order." — Scot McKnight, author of The King Jesus Gospel
"In The Case for the Psalms, Tom Wright invites readers to enter the biblical world of praise and prayer and be transformed by it. With characteristic clarity, vividness, and depth, Wright's book will not only encourage you to read the Psalms, but to live them." — Peter Enns, author of The Evolution of Adam: What the Bible Does and Doesn't Say about Human Origins
"N. T. Wright urges both believers and church communities to revive the practice of praying, singing, living and 'breathing' psalms in everyday life…Helpful for pastors or any Christian seeking a new perspective on the Psalms." — Bible Study Magazine
"All our greatest treasures have a way of getting lost--then rediscovered. I can think of few greater treasures than the great songbook of the songs. I can think of no one better suited to explaining why and how they are to be treasured than N. T. Wright." — John Ortberg, author of Who Is This Man?
"Wright… knows the Bible about as well as he knows his name, and on this go plumbs the Psalms. The author's reflections are pastoral, urging the reader to understand and then pray and sing the Psalms." — Publishers Weekly
"Wright finds both personal and ecclesiastical possibilities in the Psalms . . . mining poems for their meaning, seeking context, and searching for resonances in other locations . . . both informed and affecting." — Library Journal
"[N.T. Wright] writes a context for what he quotes that is almost as graceful, if not as stunningly beautiful, as the Psalms themselves." — Booklist

Drop box available for worn-out flags
Published: Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 7:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 7:29 a.m.
The House of Flags Museum in Columbus installed a drop box to accept retired flags. Residents wishing to dispose of worn-out, frayed or discolored U.S. flags can drop them off in the drop box located outside the front door of the museum at 33 Gibson St. at any time.
The flags will then be "destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning," in accordance with U.S. Code.
Newly-elected House of Flags Museum board member Ed Britton's two-year quest for a customized drop box finally came to fruition thanks to fellow board member Scott Camp, Bill Crowell (Saluda Forge) and Pam and Chuck Mattern (Sign Source).
In preparation for flag disposal ceremonies, a custom-built burning pit is nearing completion in front of the museum. Local veterans organizations, scouts and House of Flags staff will soon be able to schedule and conduct flag disposal ceremonies at the museum.
The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays, or groups by appointment. Visit www.houseofflags.org or call 828-894-5640 for more information.

Baltimore Sun: If not firearms, how about fireworks control?
As it happens, New Hampshire's laws on the subject are more lax than Massachusetts', so that explains why the suspects may have needed to cross state lines. But New Hampshire's rules are actually more strict than in states like Mississippi or Alabama, where there's little oversight of any kind.

Brought to you by and the .Vail official report: 1" new snowVail Daily field report: 4" new snowWeather: SnowingLiftline status: Surprisingly uncrowded for a powder dayRun of the day: Zot was a great powder run that had no tracks at 9:15 a.m.Breakdown: With the highways a mess this morning (there was an accident in Dow Junction) coupled with the fact that Vail only reported 1" at 5 a.m., today's a great powder day for those out there to enjoy it. Crowds aren't bad and the snow is wonderful. But it's not bottomless powder, probably only 4 inches, so you're likely going to scrape the bottom on your turns. For that reason, the runs that were groomed yesterday will be great today, as they had a smoother surface for the new snow to layer on top of.Snowcast: It's supposed to continue on and off today and tomorrow, say forecasters

Obama Plans to Travel to Mexico, Europe and Asia
For the next several months, Washington won't be seeing as much of President Barack Obama as usual.
In February, March and April, the president is traveling to nine countries: Mexico, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines. His trip to Mexico is next week. He is heading to Europe in March and Asia in April.
On Friday, Mr. Obama is traveling to California to visit the drought-stricken Central Valley and meet with Jordan's King Abdullah II at Sunnylands, the Annenberg estate in Rancho Mirage. The president's domestic travels are expected to pick up as the midterm elections approach.
The trips offer Mr. Obama the chance to get away from Washington and Congress, something he relishes every time he leaves the Beltway—even if just on a short trip to suburban Maryland.
They also give him the opportunity to promote America's interest abroad, repair relations and, in the case of his trip to Italy, meet with Pope Francis.
His meeting with Pope Francis in Italy will likely garner the most attention. While the president's health law has faced legal challenges from Catholic groups, Mr. Obama has heaped praise on the pope for his efforts to highlight the plight of the poor and concerns about income inequality.
A host of foreign policy issues will also likely come up during his trips, including Iran's nuclear program, the crisis in Syria and, in the case of Japan, the dispute over East China Sea islands and China's new air-defense zone.
The Obama administration has condemned China's new air-defense zone and said it increases the risks of a miscalculation in the area that could lead to further conflict. Mr. Obama will likely be asked to address the issue while meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Statement from Jamie Williams, president of The Wilderness Society on the Nomination of Michael Connor to Serve as Deputy Secretary of Interior:
The Wilderness Society applauds Subcommittee on Public Lands for continuing to support wilderness and other conservation measures
Testifying before the U.S.
A bill to protect an additional 22,000 acres of wilderness adjoining the existing Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area and designate nearly 30 miles of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River and 10 miles of the Pratt River as Wild and Scenic Rivers was heard by the House Natural Resources Committee's Su
The Wilderness Society issued the following statement from Kitty Craig, Pacific Northwest regional representative:
WASHINGTON (July 15, 2013) – The Wilderness Society applauded Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker for reintroducing legislation to designate new wilderness areas on the Cherokee National Forest.
The federal government is continuing to lease out land for energy development at a faster rate than it is protecting sensitive wild lands, according to The Wilderness Society. However, there are growing opportunities for land protection both from Congress and the Obama administration.

Bradenton man wanted in fatal shooting case
Published: Sunday, March 31, 2013 at 1:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 31, 2013 at 1:33 p.m.
CITRUS COUNTY - Sheriff's detectives in Citrus County are searching for a Bradenton man they say fatally shot a woman in Floral City.
In January, Gregory Scott Holub, 29, registered as a sexual offender at two addresses: 5200 block of 26th St. W., Bradenton, and a home on East Anglers Court in Floral City.
In 2005, Holub was convicted in Citrus County of lewd or lascivious battery on a victim 12 to 15 years old. He served a prison sentence.
Just before 4 a.m. today, dispatchers received a call about a shooting at a home on East Rabbit Lane in Floral City. A female victim later died at Citrus Memorial Hospital.
Deputies regard Holub as armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call CrimeStoppers of Citrus County at (888) 269-8477.

Knitter's Review
January 1, 2009
Happy New Year!
By the time you read this, I should be swimming in a sea of yarn while my cat sits nearby with a bemused expression on his face.
The sea of yarn in question is my entire stash, much of which hasn't seen sunlight in at least a decade. It's shameful, it's gluttonous, and I'm taking advantage of the New Year to bring my stash back to sanity. If your stash feels out of control, join me in some slow stashing.

Reba opens the second set and the composed sections are a bit rocky at times, but the jam is nice and piercing like a good Reba jam should be. Good stuff. Next up to bat is a big, relentless series of tunes that are all treated well. My copy of Bag cuts all over the place for a little while, but it's evident that it's a very energetic version with great soloing from Trey. The Curtain is very good and leads into a joyful Dog Log. Slave follows and Grippo returns. This is a nice version, with Trey repeating the same gorgeous riff for a little while until it gets really heavy. Dave is pretty hard to hear on my copy though, Trey and Page muffle everything else quite a bit. Highway To Hell follows and is pretty funny, everyone belts out the vocals at the top of their lungs.
YEM is a welcome addition to this show, and this one is a hoot. Dave adds tons of texture here. The Frankenstein jam near the end is sweet, too. La Grange emerges from the vocal jam and a respectable little jam follows. Contact and BBFCFM end the show in a unique way before a Fish-led Whipping Post encore.
There are some nice moments here, but most everything is just typically nice Phish. 3 star show, but be sure to catch the Truth tracks if you like a side of horns.

Verbal Valentines Work Wonders in Relationships
One of the keys to healthy relationships is spoken appreciation. Other kinds of appreciation (such as touch or giving a hand with a chore) are great, too, but spoken appreciation is highly valued and easy to do. We recommend a technique we call verbal valentines, which work wonders in any kind of relationship.
We give each other 10-second verbal valentines all year long. We believe it's one of the main reasons we're more in love now than when we met 32 years ago. Verbal valentines are not just for lovers, either. You can give them at work, to children, to other family members and to cherished friends.

I was asked for a follow-up on my post about how I coverted my Single Speed to an 8sp. I rode it for about a month before swapping back to single to get ready for cross season. Here's a couple bullets on the good and the bad.
The good:
- Having gears is super helpful for towing my kid around in the trailer. I've got a 42-19 on there and when I drop into the "Granny gear" I can get up all the local hills without issue.
- The gear range was about as big as I needed. The big gear was comfortable at ~22mph which is plenty for what I'm after for the bike. - Drop bar shifter location is easy to use. - Shifting while stopped is pretty cool actually - especially when towing my son. Getting back up to speed after stopping at a light is a lot easier if I can start in an easy gear. - Swapping between geared and non-geared mode is pretty simple. - No derailleur simplicity! - It adds a completely new dimension to a bike for only a couple hundred bucks.
The bad: UPDATE - I'm wrong - the Hubbub can be tightened using an Allen. I need to reef on it next time to see if I can keep from un-tightening it during normal shifting use> - The Hub-Bub. Shifting causes it to loosen. Apparently there's an allen bolt in there so I'll see if I can tighten it more solidly. - Changing a rear flat is slow and can be a challenge with normal seat-pack tools. Getting the no-spin washers out was a challenge. - 36 holes is too much for my use. It would be nice if they had a 32 hole option as it would open up rim choice options. - It's heavy. Hanging the bike in my garage is tough for a skinny-armed dude like myself.
Other observations: - Some gears just don't "click". I have to play with the shifter a little to get 5th to work just right sometimes. - The Nexus just doesn't feel as solid as a traditional derailleured setup. For my purpose it's fine, but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing a out-of-the-saddle sprint workout, or maybe even a race. I just think the hub will last me a lot longer if I don't "try to break it". - I don't think friction would work well. After posting on the Hiawatha Cyclery setup, I just don't think it's that easy to know where you need to be. - If this rumored bar-end shifter for Nexus/Alfine happens I'll be all over it. That just seems to make all the real issues go away. - This bike pulls chicks. Well, maybe not chicks, but at least I get a lot of looks and comments from bike geeks like myself. I've never had so many people ask me "how do you like that hub?".

Kunsberg School at National Jewish Health is a free day school for 90 chronically ill students in kindergarten through eighth grades. Its mission is to provide a safe, friendly and healthy school environment where students succeed academically, medically and socially. Many students are minorities, and most families are at or below poverty level. Typically, they have fallen behind their peers in school because of illnesses including severe asthma and/or allergies, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other respiratory and related disorders. Kunsberg students receive care and learn to manage their illnesses from three nurses and National Jewish Health pediatricians. They eat nutritious meals, exercise daily, and practice positive social interaction. The students learn in small classes from teachers with advanced degrees using the latest educational technology tools; they demonstrate their knowledge by showing steady improvements on the CSAP test and outpacing their peers in similar schools. Upon graduation, Kunsberg students have the skills to lead healthy, productive, meaningful and active lives.
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish Health remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. Since 1998, U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish Health the #1 respiratory hospital in the nation.

Augusta, Ga--A big change in the high school coaching ranks today as Aquinas's Matt LeZotte has notified the school he's taking a job as an assistant at Wayne County,
LeZotte took a program at Aquinas and turned them into a true contender in the state mix. After two years as an assistant, he took over as head coach four years ago and amassed a 28 and 16 record, including the last two in which the irish hosted playoff games for the first time ever. The last two years were the best with 8 wins last season and nine the previous year.
"It was definitely my career" said Matt LeZotte "Just taking different stages of my career that I wanted to be a student of another system, larger program, and this will give me the opportunity to do that with all the tools. I'm very thankful for the opportunity that I've had here and you know you always want to leave a place in a better situation then when you got it and we definitely did."
LeZotte will join the staff with another former Augusta area coach, Jody Grooms, who spent a few years at lakeside. Wayne County is class 4-A so its a big step up

Research In Motion Ltd. is launching Wednesday an updated version of its business-software service, its latest effort to hold onto its core business customers ahead of next week's roll-out of a new operating system.
The product, called BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, allows companies to securely manage employees' smartphones and tablets, whether they use BlackBerrys or devices from competing smartphone makers like Apple Inc. or Samsung Electronics Co.
RIM is launching its new, long-delayed operating system, called BlackBerry 10, next week, along with two new BlackBerry smartphones. The Waterloo, Ontario, company has seen its U.S. smartphone market share dwindle over the past four years as shoppers flocked to Apple's iPhone and devices running on Google Inc.'s Android operating system.
But RIM still has a good chunk of the market in highly regulated industries like government, the financial sector and the legal sector. With its new service, RIM is hoping to maintain that position and grab a slice of the so-called Bring Your Own Device trend, in which companies allow their employees to bring any kind of smartphone to work.
RIM is essentially offering companies a smartphone and tablet management system that would incorporate any type of smartphone. The system would help companies control things like security settings for phones that employees use, whether they are BlackBerrys or not.
RIM is also launching an application storefront specifically aimed at businesses, called BlackBerry World for Work.
"We continue to be the leading smartphone in enterprises, yet we recognize it is a heterogeneous world," said Peter Devenyi, RIM's Senior Vice President for Enterprise Software. "That's why it's so critical for BES 10 to support not only BlackBerry devices but other devices."
RIM says 1,600 companies in North America have signed up for a training program for the service, and that 130 corporate customers have been testing an early version of the service, which will cost a one-time fee of $99 per user. RIM is also offering two incentives for its business-focused service.
Existing customers can upgrade to the new service for free, and a company's IT staffer will get a free BlackBerry 10 device if the company signs up.

Paul Murray's first novel, An Evening of Long Goodbyes, was shortlisted for the 2003 Whitbreat Award. His second novel, Skippy Dies, was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Murray studied English at Trinity College Dublin and received his Master's in creative writing from the University of East Anglia. Skippy Dies takes place inside and outside the walls of Seabrook College, an established Catholic boarding school in wealthy South Dublin. Daniel "Skippy" Juster, one of its fourteen-year-old students, does die, on page 5 of the prologue. Murray spends the rest of the 661 pages telling us what led up to and what follows Skippy's death on the floor of Ed's Doughnut Shop – revealing much about contemporary Irish society along the way.
SL: How did you come to write Skippy Dies?
Paul Murray: Well, I finished my first book and I had no idea what I was going to do next. I had a two book contract and I remember the publisher saying "have you any idea for your second book?" and I said "no," which kind of alarmed them. But then it started off. It was initially a short story, actually, about a teacher, Howard, who gets the feeling that something is terribly wrong with this boy in his class, Skippy. But as soon as I started writing it I found that I really enjoyed the environment of the school. Ideas kept coming to me for characters and situations, and the writing kept going. That's just the way it works sometimes. You never really know which stories you're going to feel at home in or an affinity with until you actually start writing them. In this case, what started off as a short story then turned into this 1,000 page monster. Then there was a long period of trying to cut it back. It took seven years to finish. It was fun to write, that's why it got so long.
SL: How did you enter the mental space of your teenage characters?
PM: I just tuned in. My inner fourteen-year-old is still quite vocal and present. I enjoy humor and comic writing and I found that with school-age characters you can almost have them saying anything you like. I found it quite easy – maybe scarily easy – to regress into my fourteen-year-old state. I'm still friends with a lot of the guys I was in school with and when we hang around together I find that that's what happens: you find yourself slipping back into that way of speaking. It really wasn't a huge stretch for me, I'm afraid to say.
SL: You mentioned that you enjoyed working with the environment of a school, which is something I found particularly interesting about Skippy Dies: schools are such specific places, with their own strange populations, rules and possibilities. What did setting your book in a school allow you to do?
PM: It allowed me to write about the world that I had come from, which is the world of South Dublin: one of the wealthiest parts of Dublin and Ireland. It is quite a conservative place – quite money oriented and status oriented – not an especially inspiring place to grow up. I thought that a school was a really interesting prism through which to look at that world. In a school you learn your maths and history, but you're also inculcated with a set of ideas about how the world works and what it is to be a citizen of that world. So what better way to look at a society than to look at a school? In this case, one where you're told that to be a significant and successful person is to tick various boxes: study hard, go to college, get a job in business, buy an SUV and a big house and have kids. That's very much what they presented you with in my school, and in the school in the book.
Writing about teenagers was very liberating since, like I've said, they can be quite extreme: they can do and say things that adult characters might not. Also, I would argue, teenagers are the ones who experience the changes in a society most directly. What we adults experience as a change, they experience as a reality. In the 90s and 2000s, Ireland changed really drastically. The morality imposed by the church was overturned and was replaced by this new, very materialistic kind of thinking. Many people were at sea in this new kind of world, but for their kids these changes were presented as established, finished facts. It was the Celtic Tiger, and the kids of this generation were known as the "tiger cubs." They were the first generation, basically, in Irish history that had never known widespread poverty. Obviously there were many parts of the culture that were still completely marginalized and left out of the discourse, but a lot of kids were very indulged and grew up thinking that they would automatically get jobs and that they would never have to emigrate. All those things that had haunted Irish society for the last one hundred years didn't exist for them. Then the way they thought the world worked turned out to be a total fiction and now they're the ones who have to bear the brunt of that. I found school to be a really interesting way of looking at all the crazy changes.

At the Heart Of Verizon-Vodafone, Differing Outlooks for the U.S. Market
At the center of what could be a $130 billion deal between Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group are sharply different views of the U.S. wireless market.
The companies' joint venture, Verizon Wireless, is the largest carrier in the U.S., a market with only four national players and a lot less pressure on price than in the hyper-competitive European market. But that is shifting, as No. 3 carrier Sprint and No. 4 T-Mobile US get better capitalized and more aggressive, raising the question of whether the market might be at its peak.
Verizon is betting the answer is no as it negotiates to buy Vodafone's 45% stake in Verizon Wireless and effectively double down in the U.S. Vodafone, on the other hand, may have been motivated to sell in part on the consideration that the value of its stake may not have much further to rise. The months ahead will show which was right.
Doing a deal now makes sense for Verizon because of rising interest rates. The company is expected to borrow $60 billion or more to do the deal, and each percentage point increase in rates could add roughly $600 million in interest costs.
Verizon has long said it wants full control of the wireless company, which generates two-thirds of the company's revenue. Controlling all of the wireless business will help the company cover its dividend and free itself of the need for Vodafone's approval for major transactions.
The idea of buying Vodafone's stake has been on the table for years. Vodafone had an option to sell its stake in 2004 for roughly $10 billion, but it didn't exercise it. Holding out will look like a smart decision if the deal goes through now.
Holding out further might not make as much sense. Even though the U.S. market is one of the world's strongest in both revenue growth and margins, there are more active cellphone subscribers than people in the U.S., and there are signs the industry may soon descend into a battle over price. Annual subscriber growth in the wireless business has shrunk to about 2%, down from around 15% nine years ago, according to Moffett Research.
After feeding subscribers to the largest carriers for years, Sprint and T-Mobile are shaping up to be tougher rivals. T-Mobile recently acquired the nation's fifth-largest carrier, Metro PCS, added the iPhone and has made progress building a faster, LTE network. After bleeding customers to its competitors for four years, T-Mobile added 688,000 subscribers last quarter.
Sprint, meanwhile, was acquired this year by Japan's Softbank for $21.6 billion and is now recapitalized. After buying out the portion of Clearwire that it didn't already own, Sprint gained access to more spectrum than the rest of its competitors and is investing heavily in its network.
That may be giving Vodafone more of a reason to sell, as Vodafone has seen what happens when Softbank enters a market, said Craig Moffett, senior analyst at Moffett Research. The U.K. carrier sold Vodafone Japan to Softbank in 2006. At the time, NTT DoCoMo was the dominant player in that market, but over the next six years the company lost market share and revenue per customer fell precipitously amid competition from SoftBank, Mr. Moffett said.
"If you've watched what happens when Softbank enters a wireless market, you might not want to watch it again," Mr. Moffett said.
To be sure, Japan's 125 million subscriber base is just over one-third the size of the U.S. market, and Softbank was bolstered by being the only carrier offering Apple's iPhone.
The market seems to think both sides are correct, as shares of Verizon and Vodafone are each trading up on the news of rekindled talks.
"The question of whether it turned out to be a good deal won't be known for years," Mr. Moffett said.

The first baby of the New Year, Delona Lillian Hayes, came as a surprise to nurses at Taylor Regional Hospital.
"We were surprised because 75 percent of our babies are male," said Registered Nurse Darlene Loy.
Born at 6:18 p.m. on Jan. 1 to parents Anthony Hayes and Erika Davis of Greensburg, Delona weighed 8 pounds, 3 ounces.
Davis said her daughter is healthy, for the most part, and the family was expected to go home on Saturday.
Her grandparents are Daryl and Sharon Davis and Eddie and Madeline Hayes, all of Greensburg.

A burglary suspect is in a Wichita hospital after being shot in the middle of the night by a rural Sumner County homeowner.
Sumner County sheriff's Capt. Mike Yoder told The Wichita Eagle the 31-year-old suspect is expected to survive. He was in stable condition Thursday at Wesley Medical Center recovering from a gunshot wound in the torso.
Neither the suspect nor the Mulvane homeowner has been publicly identified.
Investigators said the homeowner awoke to noises around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday and found a man in his garage apparently trying to steal his Harley Davidson motorcycle.
According to police, the homeowner reportedly told the man to freeze, but the burglar charged him and punched him in the jaw. The homeowner told investigators he then shot the man in the upper left torso.

Truckee senior Sydnie English was voted MVP of the Mount Rose League's Division I-A, while several of her Truckee teammates and North Tahoe players were also honored with All-League selections.
The All-League awards were voted on by coaches of the mixed-division Mount Rose League, which includes Division III and Division I-A schools around the lake, plus Sparks. The coaches determined a separate first team for the two divisions; the two divisions were combined for the second team and honorable mention selections.
Aside from English's MVP, Truckee senior guards Olivia Duner and Katey Hamill were voted to the first team, while senior Jackie Bolton made the second team and Lauren Peak and Cassandra Sawyer received honorable mention recognition.
For the Lakers, senior guard Elizabeth Buhler and sophomore guard Sara Trimm were voted to the Division III first team. Teammate Angela Wood was named to the second team and Sage Chador received honorable mention. Incline sophomore Molly Franklin was voted MVP of the Mount Rose League's Division III.

ATLANTA -- The latest entry into David Akers' rickety season came when he missed his only field-goal attempt Sunday for the 49ers, failing to tie the score from 38 yards out.
Akers' kick clanked off the top of the left upright in the third quarter of the 49ers' eventual 28-24, NFC-title win over the Atlanta Falcons.
"It's a game of inches, one way or the other," Akers said. "I struck the ball well, and it clangs on top of the goal post. If you figure that one out, let me know."
Asked if he figures to still have his job Feb. 3 when the 49ers face the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl, Akers replied: "I'm here until they tell me otherwise."
Akers spoke to reporters outside the locker room and expressed admiration for how well the 49ers persevered on a "very special day."
After Akers missed 13 of 42 field-goal attempts in the regular season, the 49ers signed Billy Cundiff on Jan. 1 to compete with Akers, who retained his job and made his only field-goal attempt in a Jan. 12 playoff-opening win over the Green Bay Packers. Cundiff was released Friday.
Harbaugh said: "We support Michael as a teammate. That process will play out."
York deemed it Harbaugh's call on whether to play Crabtree, who York noted has cooperated with police. "There was no issue from (the SFPD) standpoint," York said. "They're the ones conducting the investigation, not me."
Crabtree caught six of the seven passes thrown his way for 57 yards, including a 4-yard reception he fumbled at the Falcons' 1-yard line in the fourth quarter.
Hearst wasn't thinking of that career-changing injury amid the 49ers' celebration after Sunday's win.
"It was years ago, and now we've won," said Hearst, noting he was "so nervous" watching the 49ers from the sideline before kickoff.
Hearst rehabilitated for two seasons before winning the 2001 AP Comeback Player of the Year award. He watched Sunday's game from former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo's suite with former San Francisco teammates Charles Haley and Bryant Young, who served as honorary captains with DeBartolo.
Wearing an NFC Champions cap in the 49ers' postgame celebration, Young said: "Congratulations to these guys. They put in the hard work."
The sibling relationship was strained in 2000 by the legal problems that forced DeBartolo to cede control of the team to his sister. DeBartolo, 66, said before the game that this would be the 49ers' "warm-up game" for Super Bowl XLVII.
The victim, a Falcons fan, was stabbed after punching a 49ers fan, witnesses told the station. After being punched, the 49ers fan stabbed the Falcons fan in the throat area, according to the report.
The Falcons fan was transported to a hospital, but his condition is unknown, according to the report.

"If a man is a fool, the best thing is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking," declared President Woodrow Wilson to French academics after World War I's armistice in 1918.
Wilson's adage proved true when Fox News allowed Republican strategist Karl Rove on presidential election night to repeatedly assert that Mitt Romney would win Ohio. Fox's forecasters threw in the towel, conceding an Obama win. After Rove with pit-bull tenacity asserted again Romney's Ohio victory, Fox's newscaster Megyn Kelly became incredulous. She blurted out to Rove, "Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better?"
How's it that Rove made a bad call on Ohio? He's blinded because mental light is refracted through a prism Rove favors. He and radio's right-wing shock jocks focus only on what they already know to be true, even if it's false, like the errant call on Ohio.
Rush Limbaugh habitually peers through a crimped mental filter. After the election, he ballyhooed about no longer watching the Sunday morning political shows. Rush said he already knew what broadcast adversaries would say. Isn't it true, however, we often learn the most after assuming we know everything about a subject?
Rush is blind to what historian Jon Meacham lauds Thomas Jefferson for. "(He) understood a timeless truth: that politics is kaleidoscopic, constantly shifting, and the morning's foe may well be the afternoon's friend" (Thomas Jefferson: "The Art of Power," p. 112).
In the summer of 1976, Jefferson and John Adams were at loggerheads over whether to declare a wartime day of prayer. Jefferson had suspicions of orthodox religion dictating public policy. Adams favored the motion. When he barked loudly against Jefferson, Adams assumed his opponent would keep his distance. But Jefferson crossed the room and sat next to his acerbic-tongued colleague.
King Herod in Matthew's Christmas narrative shares the mental disability of incivility that afflicts Rush and Rove. After greeting wise men, Herod feared an omen that occurred under a burning star. A messiah was born. A star shone where the child lived. The star in this infant's halo made him a competitor to Herod's throne, so the king fantasized.
Slithering like a snake in the grass, the king requested the magi, "When you have found the child, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him" (Matthew 2:8). Herod read the signs of the times by his own dim lights. Like Rove making a bad election call, he assumed the Jewish savior would be bristling with hubris. He'd steal Herod's throne.
Herod, along with Rove and Limbaugh, jam complex issues into simple molds to justify skewed interpretations. Such judgments are often abrasive and imperious - qualities that detract from the power and veracity of one's message.
Guilt by association is a favorite tactic that mars reputations. Rush and Rove used this ploy when labeling President Barack Obama a socialist. The cracked prism through which their light shines on Obama creates distortions. The president, they charge, ducks hard work, wants to create a free-loader society, and allows big government to provide cradle to grave security for those on the dole.
The light Rove and Rush share about Obama's beliefs is eclipsed. Wall Street Journal fact checker Rex Nutting throws new light on the president's track record. "He (President Obama) has never advocated an entitlement society, in which 'everyone receives the same or similar rewards, regardless of education, effort and willingness to take risks,' as Mr. Romney said in a speech last December."
Nutting treats the president's naysayers like petulant children crying in rage at Obama's imaginary wrongs. "In reality, Mr. Obama talks constantly about hard work and taking personal responsibility," concludes Nutting. "He talks about the dream of an equal opportunity society, not an equal-outcomes society. He says we need to 'restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules,'" (Denver Post, Nov. 4, 2012, p. 13J).
Such shafts of truth don't shine on grumpy old white guys whose minds are made up behind gated mentalities. The stars they spy are of their own fearful making. Like King Herod, they blunder, conjuring threats that aren't real.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, under klieg lights serving as stars of sorts, Romney and Obama sang campaign songs. Romney's was an individualistic anthem, "(I Was) Born Free." President Obama sang a different tune, "We Take Care of Our Own," in which the government helps orchestrate a nation in which "we are all in this together."
Romney's shooting star fizzled. Obama's star appeared like the sun breaking through clouds. It reflected a community Bethlehem's child beamed - shining with grace, humility and compassion.
