Every Christian who loves a challenge should love Richard Dawkins.
Christians should see him as the great non-religious hope, the man who believes it is his destiny to dethrone God.
He is the kind of person who makes bigotry and prejudice chic. He considers himself intelligent and smart, yet publicly denigrate a real scientist, a Nobel Prize winning one at that, whom he lauds as being just the "manager" of the Human Genome Project, simply because this man believes in a personal God. It is obvious to Dawkins, and in his view, ought to be obvious to every scientist, that anyone who believes in any kind of "God" cannot be considered intelligent, regardless of his/her scientific qualification or acumen. I love this guy Dawkins!
Christianity needs a polemicist like him warring against it. If the Christian faith can demand the sustained attention of someone who thinks so highly of himself then there may just be something to it after all. Here is a reportedly and self-professed smart person who nevertheless "believes" that he has a duty to crusade against the demise of a non-existent God and yet be taken seriously. Every Christian should love this guy!
Dawkins says Christianity has too much clout, particularly in the U.S.A and, apparently, he has been sent by, whomever it is that sends atheist to "pull down the mighty from their seats" and to exalt the supposedly intelligent people who have no need - at the moment or in the forseeable future, for any friends in "high places". The world should like this guy!
Dawkins is a perfect example of what the ancient Greek called hubris. In fact, that could almost be his middle name. Never in the history of mankind has one individual sought to bring religion to its knees while actually believing it was possible. If one were seeking lifetime work that would be it. Truthfully, Dawkins reminds me of another Greek saying: "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad".
Trust me, you can't help but love this guy if you are a believer of any kind since he is the epitome of faith. Every religion should love this guy!
While I certainly can't argue that Dawkin's work won't incite a backlash, I can certainly understand where he's coming from. Thinking people the world over are understandibly getting fed up with continually having to defend rationality against superstition passed down from the Bronze Age.

Before the mother's membranes have ruptured (water has broken) a belt containing a receiver similar to an ultrasound can strapped to her abdomen and used to monitor the fetal heart rate and uterine contractions. After the membranes have ruptured and the cervix has dilated, an internal monitor can be attached directly to the baby's scalp. There are other tests that can be used to monitor the fetus during and before labor such as ultrasound, scalp pH measurements, and others.

1.0 mil red plastic mulch not only suppresses weeds and retains moisture but it also increases production of tomatoes and strawberries. Red mulch has been shown to increase tomato production from 12-20% due to the reflection of certain growth-enhancing light waves from sunlight on to the plant. Strawberry plants were also shown to produce larger berries when grown with this mulch. Field tests at the Agricultural Research Service in Florence, South Carolina have indicated that red plastic mulch suppresses root-knot nematode damage in tomatoes.

Lansing motorist killed in crash with Amtrak train
DELTA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Officials say the driver of a car who was killed in a collision with an Amtrak train near Lansing drove around lowered gates at a road crossing.
The Eaton County Sheriff's Office continued to investigate the accident Friday.
The driver of the car who was killed was identified as Hermes Fernandez-Lopez. The 39-year-old was from Lansing.
No one on the train was reported injured in the Thursday night accident.
The train was travelling from Chicago to Port Huron with about 145 passengers when it struck the vehicle shortly after 9:10 p.m., authorities said. Train passengers left the scene on buses.

Stay tuned Union County taxpayers
From Vernon Long
In regards to my presentation at the Nov. 5 supervisors' meeting: I am deeply compassionate for the 17 families who live closer than I to the 10,000-head newly permitted hog houses to be. Their lives will never be the same again, by no fault of their own. Many of these are retired folks, some with serious health problems who have spent their lives supporting the community and do not deserve to have imposing worries purposefully created by an absentee owner.

Five USC players Arizona could have targeted as transfers
Friday, June 11th, 2010(NOTE: Since this was posted, the Pac-10 has opted to not follow the NCAA decision and will not waive its transfer waiver for within the conference. So, any USC players who wants to leave and stay within the conference will still have to sit out a year. So, what follows is just a what-could-have been situation.)
The NCAA has ruled — in the wake of imposing a two-year postseason ban on the USC football program — that the team's juniors and seniors are eligible to immediately transfer without having to sit out a year.
OK, then …
Which players should Arizona coach Mike Stoops go recruit off the USC free-agent roster?
Just for fun, here's our top five list of Trojans who would make good Arizona targets. This isn't a list of the best USC juniors and seniors — but the ones who would be the best fits from a talent/position/need standpoint.
1. CB Shareece Wright
The senior missed all of the 2009 regular season because of academic problems, but he returned for the bowl game and intercepted a pass against Boston College. If Arizona could have paired Wright with junior Trevin Wade, the Wildcats might have had the best pair of cornerbacks in the country.
2. DT Jurrell Casey
Arizona is replacing its starting interior defensive line, and although there is depth at the position — and an intriguing fall newcomer in Willie Mobley — there is no sure-fire star. Casey, a junior who had 59 tackles, including nine for loss last season, would have provided that star power while joining potential all-conference ends Brooks Reed and Ricky Elmore. Nice.
3. C Kristofer O'Dowd
The Salpointe Catholic graduate could have come home for his final season of college football. Arizona doesn't have a need here because it has senior Colin Baxter … but having two All-American-caliber centers would have been a pleasant problem to have, and one of those guys could have just slid to guard.
4. LB Malcolm Smith
Arizona isn't set at weak-side linebacker, listing junior college transfer Paul Vassallo and sophomore R.J. Young as co-starters heading into the fall. Smith, a senior, started at the position for the Trojans last season, making 72 tackles — including 10 vs. the Wildcats. Given Arizona's inexperience at all the linebacker spots, junior middle linebacker Chris Galippo and senior strong-side 'backer Michael Morgan would have been welcome transfers from USC, too.
5. RT Tyron Smith
Smith, a former Parade All-American, has big upside after starting as a sophomore, and he is projected as one of the top offensive tackles for the 2012 NFL Draft. He would have fit nicely, given that right tackle is the only spot on the Arizona offensive line that doesn't have a returning starter, although senior Phillip Garcia has experience.

Stritch is the largest Franciscan institution of higher education in North America.
We serve students of all faiths and ages in four colleges: College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Management, College of Education and Leadership, and the Ruth S. Coleman College of Nursing.
With two regional offices and several additional satellite offices, Stritch is the largest Franciscan institution of higher education in North America. The main campus is in suburban Milwaukee, but classes also are held in convenient sites throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois.
Stritch is one of the few Franciscan institutions in North America that grants a doctoral degree.
Stritch is led by President James P. Loftus and a Board of Trustees made up primarily of lay people.
Despite its overall size, Stritch is an intimate, dedicated community. The student/faculty ratio is 16 to 1.
Stritch faculty and staff are committed to the values of St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226): creating a caring community, sharing compassion for others, reverencing creation, and peacemaking.
The University's total enrollment for 2012-13 is about 4,600.
About 28.6% of Stritch undergraduate students are ethnic minorities (African-American 22.4%, Hispanic 3.9%, Asian 1.8% and Native American 0.5%). About 11.6% of Stritch graduate students are ethnic minorities (African-American 8.3%, Hispanic 1.9%, Asian 1.2%, Native American 0.3%).
Cost is a significant factor in choosing a college, but we believe it should never be a barrier. That's why Stritch tuition rates have continually ranked among the lowest of the 20 independent colleges and universities in Wisconsin, and about 93% of Stritch students receive some form of financial aid.
We invite you to find out more about tuition rates, room and board, and financial aid information.
We have 105 full-time faculty members. We also employ several hundred adjunct faculty, who remain practitioners in their fields and provide highly skilled instruction.
Stritch offers more than 60 fields of study. Degrees offered:
Athletics plays an important role at Stritch, with 18 intercollegiate teams for men and women and numerous intramural leagues.
The arts are integral to a Stritch education, and our diverse offerings aim to entertain and inform the community as a whole.
Our talented theater students present four productions a year, from musicals to the classics. The work of contemporary and historical visual artists, as well as Stritch students, is exhibited in our Northwestern Mutual Art Gallery. Recitals, concerts and musicals are offered throughout the year in an array of musical genres.
Music and theater performances are in the Joan Steele Stein Center for Communication Studies/Fine Arts, which includes the lovely 400-seat Nancy Kendall Theater. On-campus parking is well-lighted and free.
The Stritch Library has more than 139,000 holdings, lends laptop computers and tablets to students, and can access, online, materials at five other Wisconsin colleges.

Where in fact the time I the day and I started covering war I was for some -- sent to Libya.
Weigh in -- was bombed an 86 and that's the first.
Not really a war but certainly -- first time -- was bombed.
And it was by American did you get there before the fourteenth of April.
Yes I was there couple weeks before.
And get a few interviews with Qaddafi.

Strange times -- for no phones and refined by italics and they just as bright the telex operator and feed your tapes through.
People can kind of steal test fixed eight -- and and then them being bombed that night I remember doing actually with Qaddafi.
Couple days before.
And I asked him the question.
Well you know you're sitting here and about being bombed by the Americans and some absurd question like -- feel -- your commission having.
And I said well I heard -- -- the BBC.
And if I -- jumped up across jumped up and ran across sermon turned on the BCs that these are very surreal days looking back on it.
It seems even stranger but I thought this was.
Will completely normal my first time.
-- there.
Only this.
Someone from -- probably -- And the coming out things.
I made the mistake I got back from Tehran of cash -- and took photos until hairdresser to -- but -- it.
The -- we would you ruined the whole war we do in that the certainly before.
Month couple weeks before the bombing.
And that more than -- and I stayed a couple of weeks after yours as you remember.
That night.
Violence -- the -- -- barracks were bombed he then disappeared it was old very unclear.
-- who's running the country where he was when it happens.
In retrospect it it wasn't.
-- private first.
The first Smart bombings since becoming it was it was quite specific -- he was found.
And a couple place sincere were bombed.
The time -- standing up on top of an -- goes and bingo match.
When the plan you -- here telling you strange -- this.
So you hit what did you did you -- okay let -- -- -- do you we're trying to assassinate him or not.
Well that's.
A ticket to -- for Republican talk about this afterwards I mean.
In in an operation like that if you became one of the casualties known was going to complain too much pictures.
-- eventually came out and later in the following years there were a number of missions undertaken to.
Trying to find exactly where was none of them successful.
We should know about you can did you think at that time.
But you knew where he would.
When we talk about -- it -- he wasn't in the -- We know that at.
If you came back from.
-- back to Paris.
Did you have it in mind then to become what we would call -- war correspondent.
And no.
I think it's it's -- quite.
Management -- -- -- it's very restrictive I still don't think of myself as workers money list I've covered the walls covered wars for fifteen years what what is -- -- I think that term is -- restrictive I've been in a lot of wars covered a lot of wars.
And you know my my interest -- in the Middle East and usually when you go on a story you cover in the Middle East if it does tend tend to be conflict Chechnya.
East -- Well initial definition or cards when it's in the cards wars but.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I have fell none.
This Chechen village today or.
That's not what I think.
Of myself as doing I think you know war is about -- -- -- people like by the -- people like you know I've covered.
Famine in Ethiopia and other places like that.
There's not really -- -- that I am a war correspondent but but more by default because the what does happen to people in a situation like that -- is what interest me and in Aussie accent there is here.
They know you're not gonna crack -- -- -- didn't try to look somewhat differently.
William Howard Russell and is widely.
Respected is the first war correspond.
He's the first independent journalist.
To be allowed access during the Crimean war corsets for.
And that's great newspapers.
And describes himself and is described by many others historically is a man who had great compassion for the people who were the victims of war.
Saw -- man's inhumanity to man and more.
And as a warrior and as a person now reports on American.
I can certainly agree with that assessment.
One does not therefore necessarily have to be.
To become a war correspondent as -- war one who is intimately familiar with every caliber -- and but rather one who has -- -- Perhaps a -- for reporting accurately.
What's happening to the people.
Not just the physical structures.
Am I -- that's.
What I do and I very much -- did.
After after Libya what's the first area of conflict.
He gets sent to -- -- the Sunday Times.
And was sent to Beirut civil war.
I'm very.
-- in a completely different situation Libya you're being -- from there it's quite specific.
You -- surviving account.
Beirut was.
Very different situation where it's.
Nervous moll it was stressful words I was in -- -- But you also -- the east.
Christian militias whoever wants to know -- what's -- and you had hostage takers.
That was that was a low level constant.
Anxiety which in a lot of ways is more difficult to deal with.
-- you get you get used to.
Before you went to Beirut.
Were you familiar with all the different factions and -- his beloved but there was also Islamic she -- You might -- me who was moving back and forth among all the various players and as you put the hostage takers the -- Suicide terrorists -- three times -- the American Embassy -- And eventually of course and -- beef and that was -- our lifetime went -- -- surgery -- Did it in in.
In preparing to go there.
Did you read up all of what was going and use.
The resources of the newspaper -- who are these people what's the Green Line all that stuff.
I read up extensively.
And talk to people and what I found just I found.
In a very much.
In almost every other situation.
Have been and it.
Didn't mean anything.
I can't.
You know that doesn't mean that this book isn't -- -- that -- isn't that good.
You know certainly I think going into any situation like that the history and and the ability to put.
Into context what's happening in a war in any situation like that is important that.
I've never felt.
To the extent that what was going on on the ground.
Had anything to do with what -- -- up except in the historical sense and I think.
-- I don't think that's a bad thing but once you've done it once or twice.
Most important thing to me and I think.
War correspondents as you get there and you you just have to be able to deal with.
Absolutely anything and expect anything if you go into a situation.
Where people are shooting at each other and.
And increasingly.
And I think that's -- change and in -- covering wars.
Increasingly at journalists you risk to be ready for everything and and not go in and say.
OK I'm an expert I know what's gonna happen here.
Never it never happened certainly think it's going -- When -- -- a hole in Beirut.
I didn't live in there I was in and out of Beirut after 86.
And up until then.
Early ninety's really but.
The kind of civil war chant it was it was the western militias and it was Leo own.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- This is the hardest I mean it's almost impossible to remember how many different.
Awards went on it.
We're we're just in -- -- -- Wondering if we're there -- Be really really infuriating if you were to hack into your -- Well as a in my what you're worried that.
-- For.
And went across.
The famous Harry Truman and prior.
Let's just talk about you have it it after Beirut.
You get sent on some.
Incredibly difficult assignments and I I think of Chechnya and of course Sri Lanka.
In terms of of getting sign.
Did you lobby the editor and say look something going on here that you need to cover that we don't have anybody here.
Did the editors say.
When it's time you go cover this.
I think every -- different Sunday Times.
And also I've been there so long.
And their fifteen years.
The way that it works if there's a a straightforward.
In my area being Middle East -- Some are now blossomed anywhere there's a war but.
For tablet is the Iran Iraq War which I covered and for the first gulf war 1991 and certainly in the last gulf war.
That's almost like a set piece of course you go.
I -- Chechnya.
It's the other way round I.
Felt that it was.
Not being covered.
Ways and it still isn't just a long running and awful war.
That is generally covered from the Russian side and on woman team.
I certainly talk to people but what was really going on there which which was essentially -- discriminate.
Bombing of Chechen villages thank you can't.
Cover that from the Russians because basically you're back with the artillery.
Which is bombing villages or.
You know journalists -- get -- to go into Russian planes which I certainly.
A two car shot out from under me so that they were bombing that you don't see that from the Russian side.
The same thing with Eckstein went through like -- Felt they were.
Limited their second I'm not trendy conflicts in -- way I mean -- maybe the wrong word but Iran Iraq effects.
That war.
You know affects the gulf.
The Iraq court the last two gulf -- American British soldiers and western world interest it.
There's just a lot of injustice.
And people being killed with no.
Maybe documentation is wrong word and almost -- -- say this is going on and have some kind of faith.
If you can document through or bear witness to it that somehow.
You can make a difference and.
Even -- to fifteen years after starting the -- I still think that that's what matters.
As a journalist and in terms of I want to do with him when you say make a difference.
Define that four.
That's good question I think.
You know I'm not.
In a Rambo going to go out there and shoot the bad guys.
It's not something I want to do it's not something I.
Would do well.
What I do you think -- in journalism.
I can go to -- place and say what is what is happening and that it is wrong and I I cannot believe that there is right and wrong in the world I don't believe I mean you can.
Say a lot about camp for example the American people who -- Over Europe.
I don't actually think people different I think as -- journalists and what I rhetoric is you know hey wait a minute you know for example.
In Chechnya.
Try to make someone feel that.
-- image here this could be my brother this could be my sister thinking not that complicated.
Wrong things are being done.
When when I was in Chechnya -- I went in with the rebels from Georgia and went.
Rebels like -- -- from Georgia and then men met them in connection and went.
To various villages that had been bombed and I think that is the way.
Well I've never stopped feeling a sense of outrage.
The Russians were recording we have him for example today.
Attacked and eliminated a church and force in this -- and when you get to that village.
You know very straightforward and one of the bodies and their old women.
They're poor people their children they're exactly the people who are not the rebels they're the people who can't get -- that people -- confirm.
You can only report if you go there.
Do it does say as a correspondent covering war.
Have an obligation to anything of -- What they say they seat -- -- or believed to be the truth.
I think -- Eight correspondent covering the war.
Has an obligation to.
Be scrupulously.
Accurate and scrupulously.

Overall view of a briefing you know from Downing Street or in Washington and all the wires giving you every single side I think you can report.
And something that you know and I very much care about this is what's happening here at this time and in this moment.
And I think that's you know the phrase rough draft of history.
You have to you have an obligation to be correct about it.
But you you may not necessarily have seen over -- picture but your bit of the pictures should be right.

And then we -- laying in this we -- in this field for.
About twelve hours mean freezing cold and the plane kept just sort of just when you thought it was safe the plane would come back and was clearly strafing the field there's no way act as -- mountains -- you can walk up them.

My opinion to the opinion of James King's (commander of Camp 141 of Sons of Confederate Veterans) letter in In My View from the Feb. 28, edition of The Albany Herald: I know of many, many historians who would strongly disagree with your opinion as to the cause of The War Between The States not being slavery motivated, but I also realize that many, such as yourself, would never agree on this being the cause, so my question is this,"What real difference does it now make?"
The war has long been fought and settled; nothing is going to change reality. The war is over. Slavery has been abolished in the whole of these great United States. The Union has been salvaged.
Can we not move forward together to make a better nation and let go the past, regardless as to the causes of such a terrible infliction of death and destruction to our country and our countrymen?
