Cardinal John Onaiyekan of Abuja, Nigeria, was asked last week at the celebration of Black History Month in Toronto if he thought that the time was ripe for an African pope. His answer attracted much cheering from the crowd of over 500 Catholics of African descent.
He said: "The time for an African pope was ripe even in the time of the Apostolic Fathers in the first century of the church.
"I am not saying that I wish to be considered for the papacy, but the fact that the Gospel is to be preached to all peoples, languages, and races means that the highest leadership of the church should be open to anyone from any race, language and nation. I will not be surprised to see an African pope in my lifetime."
None of us who listened to him expected that a week later, the prospect of an African pope will be put to the test in the next conclave in March as a result of the sudden resignation of Pope Benedict XVI.
For many Catholics, where a pope comes from may not be as important as who the pope is, but for most African Catholics the election of an African pope will be a wonderful sign that African Catholicism has come of age, and they hope that such a pope will address squarely the particular challenges facing Africans today and integrate African culture and socio-economic priorities into mainstream Catholicism.
Within the last three decades there has been a shift in global Catholicism. The center of gravity in World Christianity has moved from the West to the global South.
This is not only with regard to African Catholicism but to African Christianity in general. British Missiologist Andrew Walls argues: "African Christianity must be seen as a major component of contemporary representative Christianity, the standard Christianity of the present age, a demonstration model of its character. That is, we need to look at Africa today, in order to understand Christianity itself."
This is a view shared by many who watch the exponential growth and diversity of African Christianity at a time when Catholicism is dying in the heartland of Europe, weakened by sexual abuse, a crisis of leadership, and a crisis of faith and secularism.
According to recent figures, 70% of Catholics now live in either in the Americas (48%) or in Europe (24%) and more than a quarter live either in the Asia-Pacific region (12%) or in Sub-Saharan Africa (16%).
For the first time in history, Latin America and Africa provide more than half of the population of Catholics in the world today.

Oak Harbor schools flourish with levy support | Letters
January 18, 2013 · Updated 3:55 PM
If the school levy doesn't pass, it will greatly affect Oak Harbor schools. It is very important that children today get the best academic experience possible because they are the future generation.
I am a Seventh-grader at Oak Harbor Middle School and I am 12 years old. Currently there are many things that need to improve. First of all, we have many outdated and/or damaged textbooks. In my World History class, over half of our textbooks are in poor condition. Several are held together by duct tape. If the levy is passed, $600,000 would go to the replacement of outdated/damaged textbooks.
Many of our computers need constant maintenance and all of the computers need updating. Our computers are outdated and it can take as long as 5 to 10 minutes to log in. If the levy does not pass, broken computers would not be repaired.
If the levy doesn't pass, many educational opportunities would be out the door.
School athletics only serve half of the students who want to participate. Passing of the levy would restore middle school athletics and protect it from cuts.
Oak Harbor schools are deeply impacted from loss of money from the state. Our investment into schools is at risk because basic support is not longer there for needed repairs and routine maintenance. The levy would add $600,000 for major maintenance. I am a trumpet player in the Oak Harbor Middle School band program, and want to be a professional musician when I grow up. If the levy is not passed, music, clubs and other activities would be unprotected. The levy will protect Advanced Placement classes in the high school so students can continue to flourish. The levy will also protect 30 extra minutes every day for elementary math and reading.
Budget cuts have caused the middle schools to lose 30 minutes per day of class time. If the levy is passed, 30 minutes every day for middle school will be restored and so will after school tutoring.Please vote "yes" for the school levy.

MASH Final Thoughts
Photo by Mike Martin
MASH CA is complete. As we began the journey, I wrote that "carrying a hard tempo throughout will require the highest levels of performance from our equipment, bodies, and minds." That certainly was the case but, looking back, I realize that I was thinking primarily about the point-A-to-point-B and much less about the context of our efforts.
The Tour organizers have claimed that almost two million spectators watched the race. Whether or not you believe that particular number, you can't deny that there were a lot of people, every day. It was interesting to see how varied the crowds were from stage to stage. Some days, it was all about Lance. Other cities had mainly local crowds, drawn by the novelty of the race coming to town. In a few places, like Solvang and Mt. Palomar, the majority of the spectators could be considered "true" cycling fans.
Photo by Mike Martin
There was something about this race that appealed to everyone, and it was awesome to see how many people – especially hardcore road riders – appreciated what we were doing. People saw us every day on the road and cheered when we came by. For me at least, that was one of the goals of the trip: to show that track bike culture is about more than bombing traffic and doing tricks, that it's respectful of and connected with other forms of cycling. I'm proud of how we were able to demonstrate that without losing the essentials of MASH's city roots and artistic vision.
We didn't see anyone else riding fixed this week, but I hope that we will next year. There's no ride that can't be done on the track bike, although frankly I had my doubts going into the trip. It's a tool with which you can explore not only the city, but also the world beyond.
All that being said, the point of our undertaking wasn't to change the world or raise awareness for anything. What appealed to us was taking a road trip where we could challenge ourselves, generate great content, and hopefully see a little bit of pro bike racing. Everything else was incidental.
Photo by Mike Martin
A few thank-yous:
Will Meeker flies below the radar, but he's an integral part of MASH. From driving the scooter, to working on bikes, to processing photos until 2am, Will was the glue that held this trip together. None of us would have completed this trip in one piece without him. Hopefully his professor at CCA will cut him a break for missing that one class…
No matter how tired he was or how late he'd stayed up completing his non-MASH duties as Clif Bar's senior sports marketing manager, Matt Sharkey was always quick with a joke or a story about his friends in a certain industry. In addition to his help with logistics and general road trip know-how, Matt's positive energy was a key to this trip.
MASH has received incredible support from many sponsors. Incase, Clif Bar, Cinelli, Vittoria, Selle San Marco, Lazer, Prowheelbuilder.com, North Face, SAG, SRAM, Specialized, and others. Thank you for sharing our vision.
Finally, I'd like to thank Mike Martin. He has carried this project on his shoulders and his photos and videos bring it to life. Balanced with his dedication to friends and family, Mike pours everything into his work and the results speak for themselves. I wish him all the success in the world. And some rest.

See you on the road,
MASH Spectators
Photo by Josh Kadis
Friday was a different kind of race for the pros and a different kind of day for us. It was a time trial stage, meaning that riders are timed individually over a short distance, rather than racing in a pack over long courses like the one's we've been covering. Because there were only fifteen miles to ride, the MASH crew was able to sleep in and cruise around at the venue for a while.
Time trial days are great for spectating because you get to see so much. On the road stages, the teams have been showing up about an hour before the start and leaving within minutes of the finish. But at the time trial, the riders took off at 1-3 minute intervals, starting with last-place Francesco Chicchi at 12:00:00 and concluding with race leader Levi Leipheimer at 14:07:00.
Plus, the course started and finished in Solvang, so the pro squads were posted up there all day. Each team roped off an area around their vehicles for working on bikes, warming up, and hobnobbing with sponsors and media. For us bike nerds, it was pretty overwhelming.
Photo by Josh Kadis
By far, the best moment of the day was checking in with the Garmin-Slipstream crew that we met last week at the Clif Bar event. Jonathan Vaughters, the man behind the program, hadn't been able to attend the Clif thing, so it was great to meet him finally. He has done amazing things to grow that program intelligently and set the bar really high not just in terms of clean racing but also in the quality of his organization.

Allen Lim is the team's physiologist; he writes the riders' training programs and analyzes their power data from racing and training.

Finally, Christian Vande Velde was rad. Hearing the guy who placed fourth in the Tour de France asking, "Are the MASH guys here yet?" was actually kind of embarrassing. Christian's dad, a former Olympic cyclist himself, was there as well and told us stories about how he used to make Christian do intervals on the track bike on the road. Maybe we'll get to tape a bit with him some day…
A Day in the Life of MASH on the Tour
We've had some questions about our daily routine on this little road trip. Of course, every day is different but here's what a typical schedule might look like.
Photo by Josh Kadis
We usually meet in the hotel lobby at 7am and head out to breakfast at Denny's, IHOP, or something like that. A couple of the hotels have had edible breakfast in-house, which has been rad. By the time we eat, fiddle with our bikes, load up the vehicles, and drive to wherever we're starting from, it's usually between 9am and 9:30.
We have a great setup in terms of vehicles and support. The riders and photo/video equipment are transported in a rental passenger van, while the bikes and luggage roll in a biodiesel Dodge Sprinter provided by Clif Bar with a trailer. A lot of the taping happens from a Honda PS250 scooter, which travels inside the trailer as well.
Photo by Josh Kadis
Mike Martin is shooting video and photos, along with Gabe Morford for the first few days. They're the two filmmakers behind MASH. Will Meeker plays the role of production assistant and gets a litany of little things done. Steve MacDonald has been driving the passenger van and making sure that all the riders have what we need during the day. Matt Sharkey from Clif Bar has been with us the whole time, driving the Sprinter and helping us in innumerable ways. All the support has been awesome. It's what makes this trip possible, really.
Photo by Mike Martin
The riders, by the way, are Rainier Schaeffer, Jonathan Burkett, Garrett Chow, Blake Van Knopka, Walton Brush, Andy Peterson for the first couple days, and myself, although I won't be riding all the stages due to some other commitments at the Tour.
Anyways, once we hit the road it's pretty free-form. Sometimes we ride in a paceline and sometimes the group breaks up, it depends on the terrain and how people are feeling. We eat a lot of Clif product, supplemented by "real food" like ham and cheese sandwiches. I've been drinking 6-8 bottles per day.
Photo by Josh Kadis
The pro peloton usually passes us during the ride. It's kind of amazing how many cars are required to shepherd them. There's a "rolling enclosure" around the race, meaning that CHP officers shut everything down before the race comes through, then the roads open back up. We just have to wait. If there's a breakaway with a big lead on the main field, it can take well over half an hour.
A few of the pro riders know what we're up to, especially the Garmin-Slipstream team since we did an event with them at Clif Bar HQ in Berkeley last week. Svein Tuft always gives a head-nod. And it's been surprising how many spectators know MASH. A lot of people have seen us out there every day and cheer when we come by.
Photo by Josh Kadis
We're treating this as a road trip, not an official race. So we just ride as far and as fast as we can until we get as close as we can to where the race finished that day. Our arrival time has varied, but it's usually dark by the time we climb off our bikes, mill around for a minute, put on dry clothes, and load up the vehicles. We'll grab some dinner on the way to the hotel, and then get some rest.
Photo by Mike Martin
Slow going on Wednesday's stage. We rolled around 9:15 and reached the top of the final climb at maybe 5pm, having covered just 70 miles. At that point, the consensus was to pack it in for the day. We were still 45 miles from the finish.
A few of the delays:
- Cleat broken while skidding – 20 minutes
- Waiting for the race entourage to pass through – 40 minutes
- Many, many gear changes – 20 minutes
We started off under clear skies on gently rolling roads through the orchards outside Merced with the mountains on the horizon. But after the course left the valley floor, we didn't cross a mile of flat ground the rest of the day and there wasn't a climb or descent too small to warrant changing gears. I switched between 44×21 and 44×17, but I probably should have replaced the 17 with a 15. Oh well.
Photo by Mike Martin
That said, there was some amazing riding over snow-covered passes that had to be plowed earlier in the day because of the Tour. Mike got some gnarly descending shots from the scooter.
At least we knocked off all the day's difficulties; from where we stopped, it was all downhill to the finish. I guess that riding track bikes during the Tour is an inherently slow method to cover these courses. Sure, It was disappointing not to complete the stage but that's part of the adventure. Not every day is going to work out perfectly.
But one can always hope.
MASH Gear Selection During the Tour of California
Photo by Mike Martin
Other than the weather, gearing is probably our most frequent topic of conversation. These courses are throwing a really wide range of terrain at us; finding the perfect setup will be essential to make it all the way through the trip. But most of the roads are completely unknown to us and you can only learn so much from the course profile, so there's a lot of guesswork involved.
Tuesday's 100-mile stage* from San Jose to Modesto started with the super steep Sierra Road climb right off the bat, followed by some gradual descending, a smaller climb over Patterson Pass, another gradual descent, and then about 50 miles of pancake flat, windy roads through the Central Valley.
Our gear selections:
- Garrett: 44×20 and 44×15
- Blake: 44×22 and 44×14
- Walton: 47×19 and 47×17
- Josh: 44×21, 44×17, and 44×15
- Rainier: 46×21 and 46×17
Sierra Road is so steep that Cervélo TestTeam (including last year's Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre) told me they were going down to a 38t chainring. So all of us would have been more comfortable on a smaller gear, but we managed. I can only speak for myself but if that climb had been at the end of the stage, I would have really struggled.
For the rest of the stage, the 44×17 was perfect on Patterson Pass and the 44×15 was good for the flats. I was maybe a little overgeared for some of the block headwind sections.
Wednesday's stage has probably more total elevation gain than today but the climbs are more gradual. Sierra Road is roughly a 2,000 foot ascent in three miles, and the first climb tomorrow is about the same elevation gain but over maybe ten miles. I'm thinking that the 44×17 should be okay as my climbing gear, and I might run a 44×14 on the flop-side since there will be some long, wide-open descents. But it's all a crapshoot, really.
* We had to skip about 20 miles in the middle in order to get ahead of the race's rolling road closures. So it was more like an 80 mile day for us.
The Oldest and the Youngest on the MASH Team
Sunday's journey began in earnest. We set out from Davis in a steady rain, arriving roughly 100 miles and seven hours later in Santa Rosa in similar conditions. The pros left 2.5 hours after we did and finished about the same time. Rock Racing's Francisco Mancebo was incredible today; he rode solo off the front almost the entire race, then outfoxed two riders with much fresher legs who caught him within a couple miles of the finish.
Meanwhile, six of the MASH crew battled wind, rain, climbs and descents. Here are two of them, the oldest and the youngest. Meet Blake and Walton.

Stats: 6′2″, 190 lbs

Status: Married with 7 bikes
"I was surprised that I made it to Santa Rosa before the field. I rode so hard the last 30 minutes. I just didn't want to get caught and have to wait on the side of the road."

Hometown: Portland, Oregon
Stats: "slouchy" 5′10.5″, 155 lbs
Occupation: Industrial design student
Status: you'll have to ask
"Would I want to race seriously? I think it's more of a fad for me. It's way funner riding at times like these than racing."
Mash Rides the Tour of California
Our friends at Mash are crazy, they decided to ride the Tour of California on their track bikes (or "fixies" as some of you kids still like to call them). Josh Kadis will be blogging live from the road for us. Here is his first report.
A brief introduction… The Tour of California is a 9-day, 750-mile world-class bike race that invites only the top professional teams in the world. Taking inspiration from this competition of the world's greatest cyclists, we'll be expressing our own love of the bike with a parallel journey covering the same courses as the race, only on our track bikes.
Although MASH CA is non-competitive, carrying a hard tempo throughout will require the highest levels of performance from our equipment, bodies, and minds. Hopefully we're up to the challenge. Incase has been a great supporter of our project and we'll be posting more content here over the next 9 days.
Saturday was just a 2.4 mile warm up. We rolled 10 deep from Clif Bar HQ in Berkeley this morning and got to downtown Sacramento in time to watch the pros race. It was Lance Armstrong's first major race on US soil since 2005. The crowd was huge, but it was really inspiring to see that almost everyone was there for the bike racing first and Lance second. He got the biggest cheers of course, but not by much.
After the finish, we checked out the course for ourselves. Garrett and I crashed, taken out by a wayward passerby. No injuries sustained, although we're down a front wheel now.
The real test starts Sunday. About 100 hilly miles from Davis to Santa Rosa and the forecast does not look good.

Norman, OK (Sports Network) - Landry Jones threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday, as the 10th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners destroyed the Kansas Jayhawks, 52-7, at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Jones completed 20-of-29 passes and Kenny Stills added six catches for 90 yards and a score for the Sooners (5-1, 3-1 Big 12), who have won three straight heading into a top-10 clash with undefeated Notre Dame next Saturday in Norman.
Justin Brown returned a punt 90 yards for a score and Roy Finch added a 100- yard kickoff return touchdown, marking the first time in school history that the Sooners have had both a kick return and punt return for a touchdown in the same game.
Kansas quarterback Michael Cummings couldn't get anything going against the stout OU defense, as he managed just 110 yards on 10-of-21 passing with a pair of interceptions for the Jayhawks (1-6, 0-3), who have lost six straight.

It is a comprehensive program designed to allow high school students to continue developing leadership skills by mentoring an elementary or middle school student.
Younger students identified to participate in the program have an academic, social or emotional need recognized by their teachers and guidance counselors.
Participating high school students have completed a youth leadership program or taken part in a Career Technical Student Organization that emphasizes leadership skills.
This program allows these students to put what they have learned into action by giving back to students in their school district.
Students meet once a month with their mentors for eight months beginning in October and ending in May. Since it was launched in 2010, more than 688 students have participated.
In 2010-2011, a total of 120 students were involved – 60 mentors and 60 mentees. In 2012, there were 274 students, which included 134 mentors and 134 mentees. This year, there are 294 students with 147 mentors and 147 mentees.
Once mentors (students) understand their role, they attend orientation with a guidance counselor about the importance of their role and learn required guidelines. An overview of the program, timeline, expected outcomes and previous feedback is part of the discussion.
"The program has had a positive impact on all students participating, mentors and mentees alike," said Katherine "Katie" M. Thomas, Career, Technical and Agricultural Education director for the Polk School District.
She emphasized that students are the heart of the program and efforts are made to assure each participant meets objectives necessary for positive youth development.
Kelley McLendon, a counselor at Rockmart Middle School, believes the program teaches students how to build appropriate and beneficial relationships.
"At our school, students have had positive things to say about our mentoring program," McLendon said.

Farewell Stainburn School! Pictures from the prom
Last updated at 08:40, Friday, 29 June 2012
Youngsters from Workington's Stainburn School put on their glad rags to celebrate the end of an era.
Decked out in glittering finery, the year 11 pupils marked the end of their time in secondary school with a prom at Hunday Manor Hotel, Winscales.
Prom dresses flounced and the boys were suited and booted to perfection for the get-together.
Students look forward to their prom – an American invention – as a rite of passage and for some is as eagerly anticipated as their exam results next month.

The best players earn the most money, and only the top PGA Tour money earners get the invite to the Bay Hill Club and Lodge to participate in one of the sport's most sensational events of the year. Come see the best on tour at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Featured Events
We're sorry, but we currently have no tickets available for this event.
Check out our full selection of PGA Golf tickets or sign up to be notified when tickets for this event are available.
Vivid Seats will not sell, share or distribute your information. View our full privacy policy.
Head down to Florida and bask in the beauty of the Bay Hill Club and Lodge by purchasing 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational tickets from Vivid Seats. Every March since 1979, the top money earners on the PGA Tour have come out to put on a show in honor of The King, and now you can witness the excitement of this 72-hole tournament where some of golf's most incredible shots have gone down, and greats like Tiger Woods, Lee Trevino, and Phil Mickelson have lifted the trophy. Order your Arnold Palmer Invitational tickets from Vivid Seats now and get close to all the action.
Tiger Woods has captured the Arnold Palmer Invitational title a record seven times, including at last year's event, and now the 14-time major championship winner has announced that he'll be returning to Orlando, Fla., to defend his crown. The action at the 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational is set to take place from March 18-24 at Bay Hill Club & Lodge, and once again, it will feature the top players on the PGA Tour's Official Money List. So far, some of the players who have also announced their participation in this year's event include Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, and Lee Westwood.
If there is any course that Woods feels comfortable at, it's Bay Hill, as back in 2012, Woods secured a five-stroke victory over Graeme McDowell by shooting a 2-under-par on the Championship Course. The win snapped a three-year PGA Tour drought, and if he can win again this year, it won't be the first time that he's won the event in consecutive years. Woods dominated the tournament with victories from 2000-03, as well as back-to-back wins in '08 and '09. A victory this year for Woods also would tie Sam Snead's record of eight PGA Tour wins at a single course (Sedgefield in Greensboro, N.C.). Arnold Palmer Invitational tickets are on sale for the full week and individual days, so purchase yours now and see if Woods can make history at Bay Hill.

Osterholm's study suggests this has been a general pattern in American public health history with relation to the flu vaccine.
"There is a real downside to the promotion (of the current flu vaccine), as it dampens serious investment and shuts down any real interest in start-ups to create a more effective vaccine," Osterholm said. "There is a sense that a 59% match is better than zero, but we wouldn't accept this with a disease like measles, which we seem to take more seriously."
The vaccine, however, is improving, according to Schaffner.
"Researchers are trying to make a genuinely better vaccine, including a universal vaccine that could combat all the different strains of flu that we could get every 10 years, as opposed to needing one annually," Schaffner said.
"So cross your fingers. All of us wish we had a better vaccine. We know what we have is good, but not perfect. Until we have one, we have to do as much good as possible by vaccinating as many people as possible -- and in the meantime I'll be watching the universal vaccine trials very carefully."

Biden pledges urgent Obama action on gun control
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden vowed urgent action against gun violence in America Wednesday, pledging steps by the Obama administration that he said could "take thousands of people out of harm's way" and improve the safety of millions more.
But a day ahead of a meeting with the National Rifle Association, which has sunk past gun control efforts and is opposing any new ones, Biden signaled that the administration is mindful of political realities that could imperil sweeping gun control legislation, and is willing to settle for something less. He said the administration is considering its own executive action as well as measures by Congress, but he didn't offer specifics.
"I want to make it clear that we are not going to get caught up in the notion that unless we can do everything, we're going to do nothing," Biden told an array of gun control advocates, crime victims and others at the White House. "It's critically important we act."
Shortly after last month's slaughter of schoolchildren at Newtown, Conn., President Barack Obama tasked Biden with heading a commission to come up with recommendations on gun policy by the end of this month. Obama supports steps including reinstating a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and closing loopholes that allow many gun buyers to avoid background checks.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says that some 40 percent of gun sales are made without background checks, such as at gun shows and over the Internet.
The tragedy in Newtown, in which 20 young children and six adults were gunned down by a man with a military-style semiautomatic rifle, has prodded the administration to act. Obama had remained largely silent on gun control after the 2011 shootings in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six people and wounded 12 others including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the Colorado movie theater killing of a dozen people and wounding of many more last July.
Connecticut is moving cautiously on gun control, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo in neighboring New York proposed a wide-ranging package of restrictions on Wednesday. He called for loopholes to be closed in a New York ban on assault weapons and ammunition magazines that carry more than 10 bullets. The Democrat also wants to require holders of handgun licenses to undergo follow-ups to make sure they are still qualified to possess a weapon, and he is calling for increased sentences for certain gun crimes.
Biden, referring to the Newtown shootings, said at the White House: "Every once in a while, there's something that awakens the conscience of the country, and that tragic event did it in a way like nothing I've seen in my career."
"The president and I are determined to take action. ... We can affect the wellbeing of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm's way if we act responsibly."
Biden said that the administration is weighing executive action in addition to recommending legislation by Congress. Recommendations to the Biden group include making gun-trafficking a felony, getting the Justice Department to prosecute people caught lying on gun background-check forms and ordering federal agencies to send data to the National Gun Background Check Database. Continued...
Some of those pieces could happen by executive action, but congressional say-so would be needed for more far-reaching changes such as reinstating the ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. Congress let the ban expire in 2004 under heavy pressure from the NRA. Democrats blamed a backlash against some lawmakers who voted for its enactment 10 years earlier for steep election losses that year.
Since then Democrats have been wary of legislating on guns, and efforts have fizzled in Congress. Already there are signs any new legislative effort by Obama could face tough going. Some pro-gun Democrats have voiced doubts, and the Senate's top Republican has warned it could be spring before Congress begins considering any gun legislation.
Obama has said that his efforts on guns can be successful only if he has the support of the public, and advocates who attended Wednesday's Biden meeting said part of the White House message was for participants to spread the word and keep up pressure on Washington.
"They have made clear that they're in this for the long haul and they want us to be in this for the long haul," said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
Advocates participating in Wednesday's meeting, some of whom have been critical of Obama's silence on guns in the past, said they were optimistic that the president and Biden are committed to the effort this time around.
"I think it's for real," said Shira Goodman, executive director of CeaseFirePA.
Biden also held a call with Wednesday with more than 30 governors, mayors and other state and local officials to get their input on ways to curb gun violence.
For Biden, Thursday will bring a tougher audience when the NRA joins a meeting at the White House along with other gun-owner groups and retailers including Wal-Mart. NRA officials didn't return messages for comment Wednesday but the group's executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, has dismissed the assault weapons ban as "a phony piece of legislation" and has recommended putting armed guards in all schools as a way to stop another school shooting.
Biden said he wanted to hear from "all parties, on whatever side of this debate you fall."
The president hopes to announce his administration's next steps to tackle gun violence shortly after he is sworn in for a second term on Jan. 21. Continued...

Another week, another fire
By Blaine Crimmins, email@example.com
For the third straight week, The Colony firefighters have put their skills to the test facing a significant residential structure fire.
At about 5:45 p.m. on Saturday, a major structure fire was reported in the 6600 block of Stewart Boulevard. Fire Chief Scott Thompson said crews arrived on the scene to find a working fire which had started in the back of the home and extended up the wall into the attic.
"When the units arrived there was heavy fire in the backside of the house and in the attic," he said, adding that the fire was soon upgraded to a two-alarm incident. However, "[firefighters] were able to get in pretty quick and knock it down."
No injuries were reported.
Thompson said the exact cause of the fire is undetermined but that it appears accidental. TCFD investigators have ruled out potential electrical causes and the chance it was caused by chemicals or flammable liquids.
"Because none of that was around, we secured [the scene] and turned the investigation over to the insurance company," he said.
Firefighters were called to the same home on Sunday afternoon when the blaze rekindled because of embers in the attic. The fire was quickly extinguished, Thompson said.
Another, smaller fire was reported on Larner the morning of June 19 but it was contained to the home's heating and air-conditioning unit and did not result in any damage.
On June 6, TCFD responded to a structure fire on Brentwood Lane that was caused by a lightning strike. On June 13, units were called to a major fire at a home on Aztec that was caused by cooking and took the life of the homeowners' pet cat.
"It's been busy. We went for a while without any major fires then we've had these three in a relatively short period of time," Thompson said. "(But) there's no correlation."
With the summer weather heating up, Thompson said there's a greater chance for firefighters to suffer heat exhaustion during such incidents so first-responders are more likely to quickly call for backup. "The heat dictates calling for help a lot earlier," he said.

And with that, for the first time since the April 2011 tornado that ripped through the city, the middle school was whole again. This was the day the eighth-graders were welcomed back as their new wing was complete. As Catoosa County superintendent of schools Denia Reese said, "This is last piece of major disaster recovery construction to be rebuilt after the tornado."
The 42,000-square-foot wing completes the middle school and contains 14 new classrooms and three science labs. It is not just for the eighth-graders, who had only begun their middle school careers at the time of the disaster, but all of the school's 750 students will get use out of the rooms for band, art and computer classes, according to Reese.
Doug Suits, the school system's director of facilities, said the building is extremely energy-efficient, easy to heat and cool.
"The middle school (students) especially like the mall atmosphere the new wing conveys."
The hallways are wide and open, with high ceilings. The chorus room is especially nice, with a wall of windows facing the outside.
Technology abounds in the new wing, as every classroom has a smart board installed and the contractor took advantage and re-wired the entire building, bringing it up to current codes. Both the architect, Ray Boaz, and the contractor, Shane Hurley, were on hand for the unveiling to the students.
Reese concluded her comments to the students by saying, "Adversity has revealed who we are. We are survivors. I am very proud of your Tiger spirit and proud to welcome you home."
