Something to ponder while evaluating media commenting on "science"
The NYT dismissed Robert Goddard as a crank back in 1920.
On 17 July 1969, when the Apollo crew was on the way to the first landing of man on the Moon, The New York Times finally printed a correction:A Correction. On Jan. 13, 1920, "Topics of the Times," and editorial-page feature of the The New York Times, dismissed the notion that a rocket could function in vacuum and commented on the ideas of Robert H. Goddard, the rocket pioneer, as follows:
Remember folks - the media elites know more about science than you do.
Your economy is wrecked?
Its getting colder?
Your crib just got flattened by an advancing glacier?
Your wallet is empty and you can't buy an ordinary lightbulb anymore?
Not a problem!
The Times regrets the error.

Do something nice to brighten someone's day
In recent weeks, we've been reminded how compassionate and caring people can be. Not more evident than after the shootings in Newtown, Conn. in December and the bombings in Boston. The kindness displayed was amazing during these horrific disasters as life and limb were lost in seconds. The many personal challenges faced by caring men and women have re-enforced our faith in humanity.
From shielding and comforting men, women and children and moving them to safety, to opening homes to stranded runners, donating blood, offering free food and helping runners who returned to the streets of Boston to collect their personal things the day after the marathon, the inherent goodness in all of us is heartwarming.
The need to do good and to do what we can to help others is a gratifying feeling harbored in everyone.
Again this year, Country Meadows (CM) in Bridgeville set April aside as Practice Random Acts of Kindness Month in honor of Mary Jane Leader, Pennsylvania's former first lady and cofounder of Country Meadows Retirement Communities. Born in April, Mary Jane was known to be a daily example of kindness to others and was a great inspiration to the CM staff. Her motto was to always be courteous to residents, clients, coworkers and prospects with hope to brighten someone's day.
The generosity of the human spirit continues to live on at CM. U.S. Army veteran and resident for 22 years, Bill Burke enjoys helping his fellow neighbors each Thursday. When they return from shopping, he loads their packages on a cart and delivers them to the shoppers rooms. He also enjoys walking his neighbor's terrier, Sam, mornings and evenings. Bill waters plants and flowers on the patios all summer and is sure to turn off lights each evening and even sees that the building's doors are locked before retiring. Bill's a Bingo caller, plays pool with residents and is always on hand to guide new residents.
Another resident, Nancy Goth is a former Bethel Park music teacher and has called CM home for seven years. Nancy shares her love of music with everyone and entertains with her piano music every chance she gets. Nancy leads a sing-a-long a few times a month and provides the music for Mass celebrated at CM by Father Richard from Holy Child Church. Nancy also delights young children with music at Noah's Ark Preschool in McMurray.
Former staff member Loretta Barr from Scott Township has returned to CM as a volunteer. For about two years, Loretta has been a Bingo caller in Bldg. 4.
Country Meadows will recognize the many men and women who are generous and compassionate at its annual Volunteer Luncheon on May 2. Knowing well that they are happier and healthier as they practice the simple joy of giving and spreading kindness, these volunteers stress that their own personal challenges seem less critical as they help others.
Acts of kindness can be as simple as making someone laugh or giving up a parking space. Being kind can be powerfully contagious.

Iran Claims to Have Snared Another U.S. UAV, Navy Says It's a Lie
Jason Mick
December 4, 2012 1:24 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Iran said it was forced to capture the drone after it "invaded" Iranian airspace
Is the U.S. in the midst of drone debacle 2.0? Iran
claims so
I. Iran Say It's Captured Mid-Sized U.S. ScanEagle Drone
hostile Middle Eastern superpower
's police/military organization -- the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) -- claimed on its website on Dec. 4 to have "captured"
a U.S. unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
that had been hovering around its air space for several days.
Iran claims that the UAV -- a relatively commonplace low-cost flier model
called "ScanEagle"
, built by defense contractor The Boeing Comp. (
) -- entered its airspace, at which point it was forced to capture it.
The nation's state-run IRIB news agency carried a message from Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi who said he would use the captured flier as evidence at the UN of American violations of Iran's sovereign airspace. He said he would file a formal complaint "via international bodies" against the U.S.

Iran has not yet shown pictures of the allegedly captured flier.
II. U.S. and Israel Fight Silent War With Iran
Iran has been zealous in its accusations that the U.S. and its ally Israel have been carrying out a campaign to sabotage its nuclear and oil production facilities via assassinations,
, and
traditional espionage
The U.S. intelligence community has responded with allegations that Iran has funneled money and weapons into the Gaza Strip, using the impoverished locals as
soldiers of fortune against Israel
Militants in the Gaza Strip recently put up billboards thanking Iran for its
"support" of their military. [Image Source: AP]
There have also been unconfirmed claims that
recent cyberattacks on U.S. banks
originated in Iran.
Both the U.S. and Israel also have accused Iran of plotting to develop nuclear weapons, despite Iran's insistence that
its nuclear ambitions are peaceful
. President George W. Bush, who
initiated the preliminary cyberattacks
(allegedly) against Iran's nuclear program, famously dubbed the Middle Eastern state as part of "the axis of evil".
Precisely a year, ago Iran captured a far more valuable target than a ScanEagle -- an RQ-170 Sentinel drone, flying on a surveillance mission for the
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA). Initially the U.S.
expressed skepticism
that the capture was real, but eventually they admitted that the drone was indeed captured and
demanded its return
. Iran responded by
sending U.S. President Barack Obama a pink toy replica
of the captured flier.
III. Iran Has Filed Complaints to the UN
This October, Israel tracked a drone launched by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, which invaded its airspace. The Israel Defense Force (IDF) promptly shot down the flier, which they say showed telltale signs of being
manufactured in Iran
This November Iran and the U.S. filed complaints against each other before international regulators. The U.S. claimed its UAV was flying in international airspace when it was fired on by Iranian warplanes. The Iranians claimed instead that the drone had violated Iran's sovereign airspace. It was unclear if that drone was destroyed in the incident, but Iran promised "decisive" action against future intrusions.
Iran has complained to the UN about alleged U.S. violations of its sovereign airspace.

In his letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Khazaee called the alleged U.S. airspace violations "illegal and provocative acts". In the letter he claims that Iran has recorded seven different airspace violations in the Bushehr region near its nuclear plant.
IV. U.S. Navy Commander Denies Story About Captured Drone
U.S. Naval Forces Central Command has denied the latest Iranian claim of a drone capture, saying that all its drones are accounted for. In a statement to
, Commander Jason Salata comments, "The U.S. Navy has fully accounted for all unmanned air vehicles (UAV) operating in the Middle East region. Our operations in the Gulf are confined to internationally recognized water and air space."
The U.S. Marine Corps also makes use of ScanEagles, so it's possible that the Navy could be unaware of the loss if it was from the Marines, a semi-autonomous sub-branch.
ScanEagles are largely used to safeguard oil platforms against attack by pirates or terrorists in the Middle East. The 4-ft (1.25 meter) fliers are made from off-the-shelf components and aren't exactly top secret. They can be launched by catapaults mounted to vehicles or small ships. The catapults can also be positioned as a tripod-like ground-based launcher.

Once in flight the drone flies on pre-programmed routes taking pictures and video, aided by onboard global position system (GPS) circuits. When returning to base the drone is snagged with a "Skyhook" system in which the drone catches a rope hanging from a 50-ft (16-meter) high pole.
If Iran did "capture" the drone (which the U.S. currently denies) it may have done it by broadcasting fake GPS signals to the flier. That's allegedly
how the Iranians "hacked" the RQ-170 flier
to land in a specially designated capture site.
The incident comes at a time when Israel is putting pressure on the U.S. to respond with harsher sanctions and more decisive efforts to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions. Israel has threatened to launch missile or bomber attacks against Iran's nuclear sites if the U.S. fails to satisfactorily halt the development. Iran has promised it would respond to any such assault.
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

EastwoodIn the 1970s, Curt Strohacker began repairing cars in his spare time and quickly realized that he could save a ton of time in his projects if he had the proper tools and learned the right techniques. To serve others like himself, Strohacker created Eastwood. The first Eastwood catalog was only eight black and white pages of metal-finishing tools. In the early 1980s, Eastwood began printing the catalog professionally, distributing 5,000 copies annually. Soon after, some of Eastwood's products received endorsements from car clubs and industry acceptance, further helping the company grow. Eastwood continued to expand throughout the 1980s by advertising in numerous popular magazines, which led to an expanded, 96-page catalog that reached over 100,000 auto restorers on a bi-monthly basis.
In the late 1990s, Eastwood added their HotCoat Powder Coating System, which completely changed home workshops. This system earned Eastwood recognition with the Pennsylvania Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence due to its low environmental impact. As the company continued to expand, they added a highly successful and useful website, a monthly catalog and a new headquarter in 2000. Eastwood expanded significantly in their new facility in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, which is near Philadelphia, moving in in July 2000.
CJ Pony Parts has over 150 parts available from Eastwood. These Eastwood parts include the popular HotCoat system, welding tools, plenty of paints and undercoating products, plus many 'how to' guides that can help you through dozens of common Mustang maintenance or upgrade projects. Many Eastwood products are in stock and will ship the same day that you order. Most Eastwood products also feature free shipping from CJ Pony Parts.

"Do Not Rejoice When Your Enemies Fall"
"Do not rejoice when your enemies fall,
and do not let your heart be glad when they stumble."
—Proverbs 24:17
Photographs of firefighters killed on 9/11 are seen outside the World Trade Center site after the death of accused 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden was announced May 2, 2011 in New York City. Bin Laden was killed in an operation by U.S. Navy Seals in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. (photo: Mario Tama/Getty Images)
We feel compelled to respond today to the killing of Osama bin Laden by the United States and to the jubilant response across the nation.
A nation has a right to defend itself. From the perspective of the fundamental national security of the United States, this action is legitimately viewed as an expression of self-defense.
But as Christians, we believe that there can no celebrating, no dancing in the streets, no joy, in relation to the death of Osama bin Laden. In obedience to scripture, there can be no rejoicing when our enemies fall.
In that sense, President Obama's sober announcement was far preferable to the happy celebrations outside the White House, in New York, and around the country, however predictable and even cathartic they may be.
For those of us who embrace a version of the just war theory, honed carefully over the centuries of Christian tradition, our response is disciplined by belief that war itself is tragic and that all killing in war, even in self-defense, must be treated with sobriety and even mournfulness. War and all of its killing reflects the brokenness of our world. That is the proper spirit with which to greet this news.
This event does provide new opportunities for our nation.
President Obama's respectful treatment of Islam in his remarks, and his declaration that Osama bin Laden's body was treated with respect according to Islamic custom, offers all of us an opportunity to follow that example and turn away from the rising disrespect toward Muslims in our nation.
A second opportunity is for the United States to reconsider the questionable moves we have made in the name of the war on terror. From our perspective, this includes the indefinite detentions of scores of men at Guantanamo Bay, the failure to undertake an official investigation of detainee interrogation practices, the increase in Predator attacks in Pakistan, and the expansion rather than ending of the ten-year-old war in Afghanistan.
We also now have the opportunity for national reflection on how our broader military and foreign policies — including the placement of our troops throughout the largely Muslim Arab world, our posture on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and our regular military interventions around the world, create a steady supply of new enemies.
There can never be any moral justification for terrorist attacks on innocent people, such as the terrible deeds of 9/11. But we must recognize that to the extent that our nation's policies routinely create enemies, we can kill a Bin Laden on May 1 and face ten more like him on May 2. Might it now be possible for us to have an honest national conversation about these issues?
May we learn the right lessons from the news of this day. For Jesus' sake.

Mark Wise was a WPIAL and PIAA champion while playing basketball for Washington High School in the 1980s, but he finished 16 points shy of 1,000 for his career.
This past Friday, however, Wise was able to celebrate such an impressive accomplishment, even if it wasn't his own.
Mark Wise's son, Josh, drained a 3-pointer from the left wing in the third quarter of a 69-44 win at Fort Cherry to become the first in his family to reach the 1,000-point plateau.
The Prexies' senior scorer was, coincidentally, one of two area players to get to 1,000 career points Friday night – California's Brian Fisher was the other – and he celebrated with an emotional embrace from his dad.
"He just came up to me, gave me a hug, and told me, 'I'm proud of you,'" Josh Wise said. "That meant a lot."
Bet it did.
And for more than becoming the first Wise to reach 1,000 points.
Both Wise and Fisher, in separate conversations, admitted that the chase for 1,000 wasn't easy. That, at times, it could almost seem a bit burdensome.
When will it happen? Dude, you have to call me, make sure I'm there. Can you do it Friday, I can't make it next week.
Wise and Fisher also made sure to acknowledge that they have had no reason to complain, that it was a good problem to have.
"I just tried to enjoy it," said Fisher, who reached the milestone during the Trojans' 84-61 win over Bentworth Friday night. "I like the attention, but after a while, I did just want to get it over with.
I asked Wise, who was celebrating at Applebee's that night with a few friends, whether he had been carrying this around in his head all season.
Turns out that estimate was a bit on the conservative side.
"It's been on my mind since last year," said Wise, who averaged an area-best 20.3 points per game last season. "That's all I've been hearing about – hey, you're supposed to get to 1,000. It's good to say that I finally have it now."
Fisher said all week he was reminded that he was 12 points away, so agonizingly close that the senior guard could've simply made one free throw per game through the rest of the season and still reached the mark.
Not that anyone would've wanted that, considering Wise and Fisher each average more than 20 points per game, each in the area's top five.
But they aren't just scorers, either. Both thrive on making their teammates better – Wise with Billy Edwards, Jaylin Kelly and a host of others, Fisher with backcourt mate Tanner Huffman and fellow senior Evan Patterson.
It's one of the primary reasons Wash High is 10-1, California 9-1, and neither has lost a section game.
Still, the need to facilitate and the desire to score can be a tough balance to strike.
"Every shot you take you think, 'I'm one shot closer, I'm one shot closer,'" Wise said. "But at the same time, you have to go out and get your teammates open."
Ironically, both did it in the third quarter. On 3-pointers, no less. Wise from the left wing, Fisher from the right.
The only difference was that while Wise admitted he knew when his shot went down that he had 1,000, Fisher claims he didn't know he reached it until he heard his coach scream on the sideline.
Regardless, those magical shots give this area four 1,000-point scorers this season after Fisher's teammate, Tanner Huffman, reached 1,000 with 26 during a 69-62 loss to Steel Valley Dec. 28, and Carmichaels senior Morgan Berardi did it with 18 in a 48-35 victory over Charleroi Dec. 21.
Think about that for second: For an area that sometimes takes it on the chin when it comes to the quality-of-basketball argument, to have four players reach 1,000 points in one season is impressive.
It's an honor that nobody around here should complain about having to carry around.

The City of Washington is preparing to submit a contract proposal to take over police services for East Washington as borough officials consider what to do with their police department.
Washington Mayor Brenda Davis confirmed that city officials discussed making the proposal to the neighboring borough and are putting together a contract for East Washington to review.
"I can tell you that I would say that the city would entertain the idea of assisting police coverage because we could just incorporate them with the patrols," Davis said Monday. "I think we could provide a service for them."
There is no timeline for Washington officials to submit their contract bid, but East Washington Borough Council will hold a special meeting to discuss the future of its police department Nov. 18. East Washington Council President Blake McCandless said they want to investigate all options and have as much information as possible to make a decision on what to do with the department.
"We're still in the information-gathering stage," McCandless said. "We want to get all of our ducks in a row before making a decision."
He said contracting out police services to a neighboring municipality is just one of many options borough officials are considering. An independent study released in July suggested the borough's police department update its equipment, streamline personnel files and increase the chief's administrative duties, but stopped short of recommending it outsource police protection to a neighboring community.
However, there have been rumblings in recent weeks about contracting out police protection as a serious option. South Strabane Township supervisors had been approached about the idea but decided last week to forgo making a proposal. That most likely leaves Washington as the only other option if East Washington officials decide to outsource their police services.
Davis thinks it would be a natural partnership since East Washington currently uses Washington Police Department's holding cell and other resources.
"We have one of the largest police forces in the county, so we could provide them with additional coverage so they would have more manpower on a shift than they're currently getting right now," Davis said.
She said the city is not finished putting together its proposal and still needs to discuss with East Washington officials what level of police protection they would want. Davis added that it's far from certain that the two municipalities will agree to a contract.
"We've already discussed it and (City Council is) in favor of submitting a proposal depending on what East Washington would want," Davis said. "We would need to fill out what we can do, and then East Washington would have to make a decision."
That might make for a tough decision after numerous East Washington residents crowded into the borough's tiny council chambers last week in a push to keep the local police department. Residents said they prefer the local, around-the-clock patrols in the borough rather than partnering with a neighboring community.
The public will once again have a chance to comment Nov. 18 when the borough council holds its regular voting meeting at First Christian Church at 615 E. Beau St. The regular meeting is set to begin at 6 p.m. and will immediately be followed by a public hearing to discuss the future of the police department, McCandless said.
The borough spends about $200,000 a year – more than 25 percent of its annual budget – on police protection and employs a full-time chief and 16 part-time officers.

PITTSBURGH – Steelers offensive line coach Sean Kugler was officially hired as the new head football coach at the University of Texas-El Paso Monday, a day after his unit played perhaps its worst game of the season in a 34-24 loss to the San Diego Chargers at Heinz Field.
News of Kugler's hiring broke over the weekend and might have been a distraction for a group that had been playing well this season – until Sunday.
Though none of the offensive linemen would use the eventual loss of Kugler – who will finish out the season with the Steelers - as an excuse, the results from Sunday's defeat, which dropped Pittsburgh to 7-6, are hard to deny.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, making a return from a three-game absence because of shoulder and rib injuries, was pressured, hit or sacked on 19 of 48 passing plays. Taking out the five Roethlisberger scrambles for 31 yards, the running game produced 38 yards on 12 carries. The Steelers scored just three points in the first 40 minutes before producing three touchdowns after the game's outcome had been decided.
"Hat's off to (the Chargers)," said Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey. "They were bringing a lot of different looks at us, and we didn't do a good job of blocking it."
Things won't get easier.
Already missing right tackles Marcus Gilbert, who was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury; and Mike Adams, who sat out his second consecutive game with an ankle injury; the Steelers lost left guard Willie Colon to a major knee injury in the first half.
Colon, who will likely be placed on season-ending injured reserve, had missed the previous two games with a knee injury and was attempting to come back from that against the Chargers when he went down again.
It marks a continuing trend for Colon, who missed all but one game in the previous two seasons with an Achilles' tendon injury and torn biceps.
"It's terrible for him," Pouncey said. "For him to be dealing with that for the last couple of years, and now we don't know how this thing is going to turn out ... I feel terrible for him."
With Colon out, the Steelers slid Pouncey to left guard and inserted Doug Legursky at center, just as they did two weeks ago in a 23-20 win at Baltimore.
Moving forward, however, the Steelers could try to insert first-round draft pick David DeCastro into the starting lineup.
DeCastro, who was activated from injured reserve Nov. 26 after suffering a preseason knee injury, did not play against the Ravens, but saw action on special teams against the Chargers as the Steelers ease him back into the lineup.
That plan could now be accelerated with Colon out, though DeCastro was used strictly at right guard in the preseason.
Ramon Foster was inserted into the starting lineup at right guard when DeCastro was injured in the third preseason game and has played well, but the Steelers could put Foster or DeCastro at left guard in an effort to put their best five linemen on the field.
Whatever alignment the Steelers decide upon, they know they must play better on the offensive front if they are going to make the playoffs.
The Steelers currently hold the sixth, and final, playoff spot in the AFC, but need two wins in their final three games – including one over Cincinnati in two weeks – to assure a spot in the postseason.
"We are in control, but we can't go out there and play like we did (Sunday) in the last three games," said Pouncey. "That can't happen if we want to be where we want to be at the end of the season. I think we did a poor job, but we have to go back to work and turn this thing around."
Odds and end zones
The NFL announced it is moving the San Francisco-Seattle rematch in Week 16 to prime time. That means the Steelers' game at Heinz Field that weekend against Cincinnati will remain at 1 p.m.

My Mother-
I think that people often think of dementia as someone slowly losing their memory – and of course it is that, but it is so much more.
I think this is the sweetest story in the world. I will warn you that it might make your allergies act up and your eyes water a bit. I know it has that impact on me every time I think about it. It is about my mom and dad and I thought I would honor them today and post this:
Do you know what your grandfather looked like as a young man? Would you like to read – in his own words- about the smell of the apple orchard where he met your grandmother? What he felt when he first saw her, the color of her eyes, where they went on their first date? How about his long dangerous voyage from his homeland – how he felt when he stood on the deck of the ship and saw America for the first time? These are the details that slip through our fingers as history is passed from one generation to the next.
But not anymore.

Talk about a rotten year.
You'd have to do some serious research to come up with a worse year for fans of Pittsburgh's major pro sports teams.
Maybe 2012 could be called The Year of the Collapse.
Here's a look at what happened:
It started with the total collapse of the Penguins in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Yeah, it was the Flyers, but the Penguins didn't just go down three games to none. They collapsed, blew a 3-0 lead, lost the first game in overtime game, and then managed only to salvage a little bit of pride before being totally dominated 5-1 in Game 6.
Who knew it would be the last time they would play a game for 10 months?
If there is a 2013 season, none of it will matter until the Penguins advance at least one round in the playoffs.
If they don't, there will be talk about getting a new head coach.
Collapsing wasn't enough for the Pirates. When they stink, they set standards of smell never before experienced by the human nose.
Their collapse turned out to be the biggest nosedive ever taken by a team that was 16 games over .500 after 108 games. In the history of baseball, more than 500 teams had been 16 or more games above .500 after that many games. Every single one of them finished with a winning record.
They've made moves to guarantee that they will never suffer that humiliation again. They signed a washed up starting pitcher for $14 million and a .211-hitting catcher for $17 million and traded their closer – one of the best in the National League – to Boston for a bunch of guys who couldn't play for the Red Sox.
Pirate Fest set an attendance record and season ticket sales are ahead of last year. Auld Anxiety.
Would it be impolite to suggest that the Steelers collapse was every bit as epic as the Pirates, even if they manage to beat the Cleveleland Browns to finish 8-8?
The history may not match up but the math does. The Steelers were 6-3 after nine games, and if they beat the Browns, it will mean they lost five of their last seven. That's a lot like a baseball team losing 50 of it's last 70. Actually, mathematically it's almost exactly the same.
No matter how you cut it, that's a collapse. The Steelers have more legitimate reasons for going into the toilet – injuries being the most obvious – but they will have tanked every bit as badly as the Pirates.
If they lose to the Browns and their third string quarterback and make it six losses in their last seven games, they may have to win the Collapse of the Year award.
• I know it could change in the next five minutes, but as I write this, I'm feeling pretty optimistic about the prospect of having NHL hockey to watch for the next few months. Put me down as being more than happy to settle for a 48-game schedule.
Forget the talk about fans not caring. They stopped caring about the labor negotiations and non-negotiations a long time ago. Most hockey fans just want to see hockey again. You can bet that the Penguins' first telecast will get a good rating. And by the middle of February, no real hockey fans will care about the games that weren't played.
• If I were Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, I would be looking for a player or two to step up as a leader between now and next September.
Tight end Heath Miller, who was voted 2012 team MVP by his teammates, would be a candidate. He is never going to be a vocal guy and will always be a great leader by example, but somebody needs to fill the void left by Hines Ward and James Farrior.
Miller doesn't like drawing attention to himself, but he could send a much needed message to the team (especially the young receivers) by showing up at training camp wearing a shirt that says, "Shut Up And Play." That would he a great motto for the 2013 Steelers. Maybe Ryan Clark could wear the shirt as a message to the young guys in the secondary.
Troy Polamalu, who's not known for being a vocal leader, said after the loss to the Bengals that maybe the Steelers needed to be humbled. He'd look good in one of those T-shirts, too. But nobody would look better in it and be a better recipient of the message and a better role model than Ben Roethlisberger.
No matter who's coordinating the offense next year, Roethlisberger needs to establish the policy in mini-camp that he's not answering any questions about how he likes the offense. His answer should be, "I'm the quarterback. This year I'm going to just Shut Up And Play."
• Happy New Year

Immediately after last week's election, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon announced the state would not be setting up its own health insurance exchange. Next door in Kansas, Gov. Sam Brownback announced that Kansas will have no involvement in running a state exchange either. The moves open the door for increased federal involvement in health care in staunchly Republican territory.

David L. Barrett Sr.
Retired pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Waynesburg
The Rev. Dr. David L. Barrett Sr., 77, of Waynesburg, passed away peacefully Saturday, December 29, 2012, in his home, following a lengthy illness.
He was born January 12, 1935, in Englewood, N.J., a son of the late Erna Heldon and Harold P. Barrett.
The Rev. Barrett was a 1952 graduate of Dwight Morrow High School in Englewood and was employed by Aluminum Company of America, until 1954, when he was drafted into the U.S. Army, serving in Tulle, France. It was during his enlistment that he first received the calling of God.
Upon his discharge, he enrolled at Barrington College in Providence, R.I., where he earned a bachelor of arts degree in history in 1961. While enrolled there, he met his wife, Carole Nichols. They were married in December 1958.
After graduation from Barrington, he enrolled at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, graduating in 1964. He was ordained to the Gospel ministry of the Presbyterian Church USA. He served as assistant youth pastor at Hebron United Presbyterian Church in Penn Hills from 1964 to 1967, served as pastor of Reed Memorial United Presbyterian Church in Lyndhurst, N.J., from 1967 to 1970 and served as associate pastor of Beverly Heights United Presbyterian Church in Mt. Lebanon from 1970 to 1975.
In June 1975, he accepted the position of pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Waynesburg, where he remained until his retirement in 2000.
In 1989, he was awarded an honorary doctor of divinity degree from Waynesburg College. He was a past president of the Waynesburg Ministerium and served on numerous boards, including chairman of the Salvation Army, Waynesburg Service Unit for 15 years, American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, Try-Again Homes, Habitat for Humanity and Greene County Association for Retarded Citizens.
In the Presbytery of Washington, he served on the evangelism committee, committee on ministry, personnel committee, committee on preparation for ministry and synod evangelism committee in New Jersey.
He was involved in numerous committees for church crusades and rallies. He participated in various community charities and fundraisers and spent much of his time visiting sick and elderly members of the community.
In addition to the numerous missionaries and religious dignitaries that he welcomed into First Presbyterian Church of Waynesburg during his time there, he and others traveled extensively in hopes of strengthening the church's relationship with God. Over the course of two decades, he and several other congregation members, as well as representatives of other community churches, traveled to various countries, including Mexico, Israel and Russia.
The Rev. Barrett was an avid fan of Pittsburgh sports teams, he loved to travel and greatly enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
Surviving, in addition to his wife, are a daughter, Amy L. Barrett Mackor; two sons, David L. Barrett Jr. and Stephen N. Barrett and wife Crystal; three grandchildren, Melissa Anne Burton and husband Brad, James David "JD" Barrett and Bryson Lewis Barrett; a niece, Robin McGill, and a brother, Harold P. Barrett, who make their home with his family; two brothers, Wilfred Barrett (Lorraine) of Boise, Idaho, and John Barrett of Hamburg, N.J.; and several nieces and nephews.
Deceased, in addition to his parents, are a brother, Kenneth L. Barrett and a sister, Violet McGill.
Friends will be received from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday and 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday in Behm Funeral Homes Inc., 182 West High Street, Waynesburg. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, January 2, in First Presbyterian Church, 169 West College Street, Waynesburg, with the Rev. William Sukolsky officiating.

A Bentleyville man who police said stole copper wire from "nearly every utility pole in the borough," was arrested Friday on charges of criminal mischief, theft and receiving stolen property.
Cory Wayne Thomas George, 24, of 138 Pittsburgh Road, was charged after he admitted the thefts when questioned by Southwest Regional police, according to court documents.
On July 8, Bentleyville officials reported to police that copper ground wire had been removed from nearly every pole in the borough. While responding to an unrelated call on July 16, Officer Thomas Schwartz noticed a piece of copper wiring and black casing under the rear deck of George's residence. The officer also saw burned casings and a large fire pit on the property. Fire pits are often used to burn casings off of stolen wire in order to sell the copper for scrap.
George agreed to speak with officers and admitted to stealing 6 feet of copper ground wire from at least 80 poles between June 27 and July 1. He told police he sold the wire at Ritenour's Auto Wrecking in Ellsworth for about $140. Video surveillance from the business shows George making the transaction, police said.
While there were no power disruptions as a result of the theft, Southwest Regional Chief John Hartman said the criminal action warranted stiff charges.
"The danger to the defendant who actually cut the wire and the danger to the equipment was self-evident," Hartman said.
"If the ground wires weren't necessary, they wouldn't be there."
George was charged with a felony count of criminal mischief and misdemeanor receiving stolen property and theft charges.
"If you damage utility equipment," the charges "rates up to a felony," Hartman said. "If something goes wrong we have a lot of people – police, fire, hospitals – that depend on electricity."
According to court documents, the copper wire belonged to FirstEnergy and caused $1,160 worth of damage.
George was arrested Friday morning at his residence. He was arraigned before District Judge Curtis Thompson and placed in Washington County jail on $25,000 bond.
