Have a Good Summer
By Marsh Chapel
"Have a good summer!" Has someone said this to you recently? Or, something similar? "Are you having a good summer?" "How's the summer?" "What a great summer!"
It is such a simple phrase, but to the needy, reflective ear, it raises a mortal question, a singular and, perhaps shattering, perhaps justifying question: What is a good summer?
In the most cotidian of clauses, there lie embedded sacred moments which deserve and require our attention, our full and alert attention. Please…Thank You…Hello…Goodbye…God bless you…Have a nice day…Have a good summer.
What is a good summer?
Before addressing this question, I digress to offer a story. You perhaps know it. Or perhaps you have told it. A farmer had an odd habit of feeding his only pig in a distinctive way. He would hold the pig in his arms, and carry him under an apple tree. There the pig would happily eat his fill as the farmer, arms aching, waited. At last a neighbor asked: "John, that is one way to feed a pig, but, in addition to straining your back and arms, it must take a whole lot of time. Aren't you worried about that lost time?" "Oh", said the farmer, "Of course you are right, it is a lot of time, but, then…what's time to a pig?"
In the distance that lies between pearls and swine, between the precious pearl of great price and the swinish disregard for the Holy, between a glorious moment known as this summer, and our human capacity to miss the significance of the precious gift of such time, there may emerge an articulation of the good news.
The Gospel then is a warning to those of us, like me, who raise such questions, and those of us, like you, who chew on them. What is a good summer? A mortal question, to be understood, and a saving truth, to be told, depend on hearing. Faith, that is, comes by right hearing, and such hearing by the word of God.
Thus the simple sentence, "Have a good summer", is, like much in life, a very thin ordinary veneer covering a deep, existential interrogative: just what is a good summer?
What constitutes a good, a godly summer? Perhaps with your help, and under the shadow of the Holy Scripture, which towers over our experience like a steeple towers over our communion today, we can respond by raising other questions. One good question deserves another.
1. Interruption
Has your summer allowed an interruption? Of what? Of routine, of the usual of set patterns, of your own plotting and planning, of comfort, of discomfort, of what has been. Has summer provided a pause? Many of the parables of Jesus help us here, like that of the Rich Fool, a warning word from Jesus for the followers of Jesus. "One's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
Wait, stop, think, heal write.
A Hindu proverb says: During its lifetime, the lordly goose looks down upon the humble mushroom. But in the end, they are both served up on the same platter.
Life is meant to become a rich offering toward God, not a laying up of treasure on earth where moth and rust consume, and thieves break in and
steal. Life is space and time when the bone wearying labor of pulling on oars against a mighty wind, may give way, by interruption, to a vision of the divine. Against all odds, He walked to them, and sat with them, and spoke to them, and blessed them.
Mark 6 carries the account of Jesus unexpectedly appea
ring to astonish, and so to encourage, his wayward disciples.
Speaking of interruptions, of thieves breaking in, and of the unexpected, please allow this brief digressive interruption.
It reminds us of the ostensibly humorous story of the burglar, speaking of greed and covetousness, who slipped with his flashlight into a dark suburban home. He took jewelry and cash. Then in the dark he heard a voice: "Jesus is watching. I'm warning you." The burglar trembled, wondering who had spoken. Turning on the light, he saw a parrot in a cage, who said, "My name is Moses, and I warn you, Jesus is watching." Relieved, for the moment, the burglar smiled and said, "What kind of silly suburban people name their parrot Moses?" The parrot replied, "The same kind of silly people who name their long toothed, ferocious dog, Jesus. I warned you, Jesus is watching."
Life is more than security. The best things about life are free. Travel light…I shan't be gone long, you come too…
2. Inflammation
Has your summer involved some inflammation? Has the season brought spirit to a fever pitch? Is there around now any love on fire? The country is scorching hot. Various volcanoes are flowing with lava. And in your heart? Where is the fire? What is it that you love so much that it makes you…now nostalgic, now tender, now torrid, now angry, now remorseful, now hot, now vengeful, now envious, now determined, now happy?
One religious worker told us this week of his moment of calling, when he heard at a prayer meeting, "There is nothing better you can do with your life than to give your life to something greater than yourself."
The Bible readers among us are right to suspect that Hosea 11 smolders here. Listen to this loveliest of passages again: "When Israel was a child I loved him…"
I am not talking about passion only, eros only, the body only, feeling only. Though I mean all that. I mean, rather, something beyond mere 'sloppy agape'. I mean the heart. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Julia Kristeva, French philosopher, said of summer that there are "three great things in life: to think, to heal, and to write." A Schweitzer would have agreed, and said, "There are three great instruments—the Bible, the pipe organ, and the stethescope." I say: find a way, your way, every day, to preach and to sing and to love.
Somewhere in every life there is a hot, scorched, midwestern summer. Remember it. Somewhere in every life there is a potent lava flow, about to burst, bursting, having burst. Seek it. Somewhere in every life there is the love of Hosea 11, God like a mother holding an infant to the cheek. Recover it.
Has your summer involved some inflammation?
For many years, across the river at MIT, Huston Smith taught religion to engineers. His passion, inflammation, was world religions. In many ways, he was a generation ahead of his time. But in his eighties he is on fire. He is on fire to help us understand the world's great religious traditions, in the large as well as in the little. There on the bookstore shelf is Why Religion Matters. There is The Soul of Christianity. There is Huston Smith reminding us, with fire, that "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence", and that "we are in good hands and so it well behooves us to bear one another's burdens".
Some summer reading will kindle our passion for the tru
e and the good and the beautiful. We need reminders of all three, in a world that has ample reminders of their absence. A train bombed in India. A tunnel collapsing in Boston. A Middle East in turmoil. A war of our own making now remaking us. And a broken leg, a knee to replace, a sudden loss, a new boss.
Have we forgotten the love we had at first? Now is the time to rekindle that holy fire. Out on the Cape. Along the coast in Maine. Up in the White Mountains. Along lake Winnepesake. And in the heat of the city, and in the thick of things too. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein…
3. Institution
Has your summer included the care and feeding of an institution? Yes, I could have used another word like 'incarnation', more theological and perhaps more accurate. But then we all would have gone home unclear, un conflicted, un confronted, and un helped. Operational incarnation means institution.
Life does not give ground before individuals apart from institutions. Transformation, lasting good change, in history, happens not through individuals only, nor through movements only. Real traction in history involves institutions. Like corporations, governments, businesses, schools, parties, universities, associations, cities, and, churches. A movement is not superior to an institution. An institution is a movement that has grown up.
The reading from Ephesians 1 ( I commend to you this wonderful chapter), coming from the hand of a disciple of Paul of Tarsus, is a reminder to us of the need for institutional life. Here is the gracious beginning of an account of 'God's people'. In the corporate life of the church—an institution itself which as Tillich reminded us is both a revelation and a distortion of the divine—we are given adoption, inheritance, spirit, promise, forgiveness, fullness. tells us to "set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth." Christ, here, may be your lips, Christ, your reward, Christ, your glory, Christ, your new person, Christ, your Lord may truly be revealed in and through you. recites the tradition of deliverance, liberation, rescue, redemption, that is your birthright…
"In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will…"
Has your summer involved an institution?
4. Inspiration
Has this summer brought inspiration? Something? Something fine and true? Something sensual? Something grand and loving? I truly hope so. "A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
2 Samuel 6 recalls David dancing furiously before the Ark of the covenant. The travels of this remarkable symbol, including to and from the home of Obededom the Gittite, are the subject of another sermon. Today is a happier moment in the account of the Ark, but not the only account, and others are less cheery. Nonetheless, here at the least the great King David is enthralled by a moment of uncontrolled glee.
I saw an eagle soaring in the mountains last Tuesday. Karl Barth, said that "the gospel is the freedom of a bird in flight". And I remembered the proverb: "Three things are too wonderful for me, and four I cannot understand. The way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a ship upon the high sea, the way of a serpent on a rock, and the way of a man with a woman."
Has the summer brought inspiration?
David Bentley Hart, an Eastern Orthodox theologian, brought a different kind of inspiration, recently, in response to the disorders and tragedies in the natural world, notably the Tsunami. At least he is writing about God and Creation, and that itself is inspirational.
If nothing else, the Gnostics of the early centuries inhabited the same imaginative and spiritual universe as the earliest Christians: they no more than Paul took the principalities and powers and elements of this world as myths or allegories; they not less than Paul proclaimed themselves free from the tyranny of the 'god of this world'. And, like Paul or the author of John's gospel, the Gnostics understood spiritual liberation as something subversive of the order of the cosmos…a glorious escape from the kingdom of death. Any Christian who has not felt at least an occasional stirring of the pathos of Gnosticism…and a rage against the fashion of this world, and of a mysterious yearning for another and perfect world, at once strange and familiar, cannot in all likelihood fully appreciate the spiritual and moral sensibility of the New Testament.
Have a good summer
A summer that allows interruption
A summer that involves inflammation
A summer that includes an institution
A summer that brings some inspiration
(And, as you probably suspect that the sermon more deeply intends, in the same ways, have a good life).

First you need some chalk, a plastic bag, and a hammer or mallet. We can get chalk fairly cheap at discount stores, so I don't feel bad chopping it up! ***You could also use worn down pieces from your collection if you don't want to use brand new pieces!
Next, put about 2 pieces of chalk in a plastic bag, twist the bag shut and start crushing the chalk. Be careful of your fingers!! I did some and let Cassie try it too. It was very empowering for her to use the hammer and help!
After crushing the chalk you may want to check to see if you need to hammer more...we needed to a bit more to get some of the larger pieces.
Place your crushed chalk carefully in a container and then add about a cup or so of water. Mix with a stick or paint brush and now you have instant chalk paint! You can always add more water as you are painting if the water dissolves quickly.
Here is Cassie painting away! What fun! She started right away! As you can see we made 3 colors which makes it much more exciting!
We had a lot of fun! We made flowers, people, splatter paint, spirals, and even mixed our pink and blue to make purple!
DIY Crushed Chalk Paint has become a tradition we have done since Cassie was 2 1/2! I have a feeling it will continue from year to year!

It would be nice to be in the top 50!

A Good Week
March 18, 2012
I made a lot of progress on my jacket. It's ready to be sewn but I still have the rest of the outfit to deal with. It's ridiculous how excited I am and I think it has to do with the material. It's just so awesome.
The final fabrics–glitter suede and lambskin.
My pullover was also worked on, mainly in the evenings when I was catching up on all my shows (Do you watch My Strange Addiction? Did you see the urine drinker?!). I'm almost done with the first sleeve and I'm gonna try and power through the second one. I must finish this before summer starts!
There's me and my sister looking like jerks. It was the fourth time in a week we wore the same shirt as the other. So weird.
Did you have a good week?

The death penalty may be prohibitively expensive when it comes to prisoners. But that doesn't mean we should eliminate the death penalty entirely.
California still needs a death penalty for local governments.
One reason for such a penalty is the sheer number of them: more than 4,500 local governments.
U.S. & World
That's simply too many governments for citizens and the press to monitor and hold accountable.
Local governments' responsibilities and regions overlap, making it unclear to citizens who is in charge of what. So local governments need to be open and transparent.
But many of them are anything but.
That's the second reason for a penalty.
Local governments simply ignore essential laws requiring them to provide public information. Just take a look at this piece from Thomas Peele of the Contra Costa Times.
He describes how local governments won't provide the most basic public information -- how much they are paying people.
If you won't tell the public -- and that means any member of the public who asks -- how much you are paying people, then you are a government that simply can't be trusted.
And a government that exists so outside the law shouldn't be allowed to stick around.
That said, local governments in California need more authority, especially over programs they administer.
Gov. Jerry Brown and a host of good government groups are trying desperately to move the state in that direction.
But it is crucial that, if such authority is to be returned to the locals, governments abide by basic rules on public information.
Of course, there are virtually no penalties for local governments who won't meet their basic legal responsibilities.
There need to be. One of those needs to be the death penalty -- the elimination of governments who won't tell us what they're doing with their money.


text: Bill's back! And his subject this week may be the ultimate example of a truly astounding piece of engineering that we all tend to take for granted: The computer hard drive. A favorite college physics professor once admitted to me that the hard disk drive impressed him more than almost any other single piece of modern technology, and I have since found that, the more I think about it, the more I agree with him. As always, Bill Hammack does a great job of explaining things in a way that will appeal to both experts and amateurs. [Thanks, Bill!]

We found no results!
Try your search again, but first:
Opening equipment for maintenance and inspection purposes requires preparing the system as quickly and economically as possible. Preparation includes addressing contaminants including residual liquid hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon deposits, and inorganic salts and scales, such as iron sulfide. Iron sulfide must be controlled because it may be pyrophoric. Nalco Water has developed technologies and strategies to address each of these challenges.
In the case that there are hydrocarbon deposits in the system, proprietary chemistries may be used to flush the deposits from the system in a rinse.
Nalco Water Enterfast™ cleaning and degassing technologies may be implemented via water wash or steam injection in order to remove residual hydrocarbons and degas process equipment. The chemistries applied also work to modify the iron sulfide to non-pyrophoric forms as it is removing other contaminants.
Our Enterfast programs remove residual hydrocarbons, vapors and deposits in preparation of exchangers, piping and vessels during maintenance activities to minimize costs associated with system preparation. The capability to clean and degas quickly and reliably is a significant benefit to the refiner to safely and efficiently enhance turnaround inspection and maintenance activities.

Distorted Images and the Long Road to Truth
1947 - Vermont - A Canadian-American father's "nice/bad surprise" for six-year-old Michelle never happens but becomes the family secret that leaves her with distorted images of both her parents and sweeps her away from home to a boarding school in Canada and then to New Hampshire. In Canada she meets eight-year-old JP and together they go out looking for God. Instead, they find Ivan, an ex-convict whose life is changed radically by this meeting.
In the meantime, Michelle is sent to live with her ambitious, independent Aunt Lena and is introduced to a lifestyle that she could only dream of. But she continues to long for home and for the very doubtful love of her parents. Then, at sixteen, the "family secret" is revealed to her, and she is devastated not only by what her father had been planning but also because the incident had caused her to have such twisted thoughts about her mother and father. The truth was the opposite of what she had come to believe since she was six years old.
Then, the year of her graduation from high-school, her father is imprisoned and she has to choose between living with her aunt or going back to her small home town help her mother. Her decision brings JP and Ivan back into her life and changes everyone's course for the better.

Overall, I felt good! Around dinner, I started to notice a lack of energy and the gym felt harder than usual; however, that could be because I haven't been to the gym in a week. Oops…
breakfast – 10:00 am
Rice Krispies cereal with soy milk and bananas. I had time to make biscuits, but I didn't have any margarine that didn't contain whey (and obviously can't use butter). I thought it was going to taste weird, but I could honestly barely taste the difference between regular milk and soy milk. I'm so glad I bought that Silk last night!
Snack – 12:00 PM
A few chips with salsa and a square of chocolate. Around this time, I was super excited about the vegan possibilities and decided to go grocery shopping!
I bought tofu (nervous about it), vegan "cream cheese," hummus mix, falafel mix, lots of veggies vegan wonton wrappers (!!), pasta, whole wheat bread, and pita bread. I, upsettingly, could NOT find ANY egg substitute! It was so frustrating! Granted, I was at a regular ol' grocery store, but being vegan shouldn't mean I have to shop at special stores. Ugh. I mean, they had tons of vegan stuff, but NO egg substitute! Infuriating.
lunch – 3:30 pm
I had sort of a late lunch, but it was so worth it! I made the falafel / hummus mixes and enjoyed a savory Mediterranean meal!
First, I made the falafel balls according to the package instructions, then prepared a piece of pita bread with a tablespoon of both the hummus and my vegan cream cheese.
Then, I cut up some tomato, lettuce, and cucumber. I added it all to the pita bread, folded it like a taco, and ate up!
I was so excited at how yummy it was! I felt like I was in another country. It's so fun to have so many different types of food.
Not-related Adventure of the Day:
Around 5:30, I went to a master class / open rehearsal with violinist Joshua Bell. The friend I went with is getting his masters in music and raved, giggled, and skipped with excitement as the thought of us getting to see (in his words) "the world's best violinist" for free. I was skeptical. Bell started out by saying it was just a sound check and he probably wasn't going to play very much. Then, he busted out the full Devil's Trill by Tartini! He played the whole thing! Oh my gosh, it was a dream. Do yourself a favor and listen to it:
When he finished, he just sort of shrugged. Shrugged! I'll tell you something, I went in not super ready to be impressed, but I quickly was won over. He was so non-assuming. I also heard he did an experiment. I saw the article back when it was posted, but didn't read it. I just finished reading it. You should too. He also answered a ton of questions from the audience and gave fantastic responses. I was so inspired. I even took notes.
dinner – 8:00 pm
A bean and rice burrito was my dinner. I was going to make a tofu stir fry, but I wasn't all that hungry. I also munched on some carrots while doing my homework!
nutrition information
Grade of A- (up from yesterday's C+!).
- 25.9% fat
- 12.5 % protein
- 61.6% carbs
According to USDA recommendations, I had too little vitamin C, calcium, iron, and potassium. I bought iron vitamins at the store today, but I had almost enough iron in my food, so I didn't want to take a pill and get too much. I don't know if that's a thing, but I didn't want to risk it.
I went grocery shopping, to the gym, cooked my first truly vegan meal, and got to see one of the world's best violinists perform for free, and talk about music and truth. I'd say a pretty good day!

Mike Napoli homered and drove in three runs to lead the Boston Red Sox over the Cincinnati Reds, 5-4, Wednesday afternoon at Great American Ball Park.
Daniel Nava added two hits and scored a run and Brock Holt scored a pair of runs for the Red Sox, who swept the two-game set and won all four games against the Reds this season.
Yoenis Cespedes added an RBI, but left the game with a sore right hand, as the Red Sox have won three straight and five of seven.
"He was fighting me a bit, but it was precautionary," said Boston manager John Farrell.
Called up from Triple-A Pawtucket to start for the struggling Brandon Workman, Anthony Ranaudo (2-0) picked up the win in his second career start. The right- hander surrendered four runs on eight hits over six innings.
"He gave us six solid innings," said Farrell "He's a fly ball pitcher and that's risky in this ball park. He battled."
Skip Schumaker homered, finishing 3-for-4 for the Reds, losers in four of their last five.
Cincinnati starting pitcher Mike Leake (9-11) also homered, but it wasn't enough to help him avoid his second straight loss. The right-hander was charged with five runs on eight hits over five innings, striking out three and walking one. The five runs allowed were his most since yielding five on June 10 against the Dodgers.
Trailing 3-2, the Red Sox put up a three-run fifth to take the lead. Cespedes' two-out single plated Holt, who started the rally with a one-out double, to tie the game. Napoli followed with a homer to put the Sox ahead 5-3.
The Reds got a run back in the home half of the frame when Todd Frazier's sacrifice fly plated Kris Negron, who started the inning with a triple, but that was it for the Reds.
Ranaudo finished up with the sixth inning and Burke Badenhop, Junichi Tazawa and Edward Mujica worked an inning each to wrap it up.
Mujica got out of a two-on, no-out jam in the ninth by striking out Ramon Santiago on a bunt attempt, getting Billy Hamilton to fly out and inducing a ground out by Negron to pick up his third save of the season.
The Red Sox got going with a pair of first-inning runs courtesy of a Nava RBI single and Napoli fielder's choice grounder.
The Reds cut the deficit to 2-1 in the third when Devin Mesoraco's sac fly plated Negron and then took the lead, 3-2, in the fourth when Schumaker and Leake hit solo homers.

Screen International's good friend Nikki Beach made its long-awaited debut at Sundance and sure as snow (well, actually it didn't snow while Screen was there) the celebrities did follow.
The global luxury lifestyle and hospitality brand set up shop in Park City with a pop-up restaurant and lounge on the fourth floor of the Sky Lodge Hotel, affording some pretty darn gorgeous views of the surrounding vista.
Matthew McConaughey, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ringo Starr, Daniel Radcliffe, Alicia Keys, Gael Garcia Bernal, Jennifer Hudson, Paris Hilton, Michael Cera and Tony Danza – yes he of Taxi fame, who steals the show in Gordon-Levitt's well-received feature directorial debut Don Jon's Addiction – were among the stars who rubbed shoulders at the hot-spot.
"We are very pleased with the debut of our Nikki Beach Sundance pop-up during the first weekend of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival," said Jack Penrod, Nikki Beach Worldwide founder-owner.
Penrod added that Nikki Beach will be attending Cannes this year for the 11th time and all of us at Screen are looking forward to celebrating with them. We're just saying…
Separately Adam Leipzig, the former president of National Geographic Films who is never short of a venture or two, used the Park City platform to launch his new book on Thursday.
Inside Track For Independent Filmmakers: Get Your Movie Made, Get Your Movie Seen And Turn The Tables On Hollywood purports to offer a "no-nonsense" guide to the independent movie landscape.
"Sundance and Slamdance have given independent films the visibility they deserve, yet independent film-makers still face daunting odds getting their movies made and seen," Leipzig opined. "This book aims to close the information gap with up-to-the-minute insider information to make their path to success easier."
The book is published by Cultural Weekly Press and goes on official release on Jan 28 priced $14.95. It is also available on Amazon and at select bookstore. Visit the official website for more details.

We send our state lawmakers to Columbia to represent us and to pass legislation for the good of the people. All of the people.
Our local lawmakers had several priorities and issues to work on during the session that just ended.
We want to commend our local lawmakers for being public servants and for spending time in Columbia away from their families and businesses. But we also want to remind them that a few local issues of interest remain on their "to-do list" for when state lawmakers reconvene in January.
One reform that we are disappointed that didn't get resolved was the Freedom of Information Act. There was a bill that literally put teeth in the law and was also supported by both Rep. Bill Herbkersman and Rep. Weston Newton.
The provision we were most interested in was the one that would eliminate an exemption protecting legislators from releasing their correspondence and "working papers" to the public. But there were others worth consideration and that we support. These include:
• Shortening the initial response time for public-records requests to 10 working days, down from 15 business days.
• Setting a 30-day deadline to fill a request in contrast to no deadline.
• Requiring that copies of records be furnished at a cost that can't "exceed the prevailing commercial rate."
• Creating an "Office of Freedom of Information Act Review" within the S.C. Administrative Law Court to handle appeals of open-records requests.
• Establishing harsher penalties for violations of the FOIA.
One of the other reforms that failed to gain support was ethics reform. This was a political struggle from the beginning and lawmakers ended the session without making much headway and Gov. Nikki Haley promised to make ethics reform a priority in January when the Legislature reconvenes.
We're disappointed ethics reform failed to gain traction and get much attention. Until our lawmakers spend time on it and make needed reform, taxpayers and residents of this state will continue to be mocked and rightfully so. Between campaign-finance abuse and other allegations against other lawmakers, the Palmetto State gives people ammunition.
Tougher income disclosure requirements for lawmakers, requiring all political groups to report their activities and probably the most important reform - not allowing lawmakers to investigate ethics complaints against lawmakers - all deserve support and reform.
Last, but certainly not least, on our short list of action items left undone is funding for the Waddell Mariculture Center. Lawmakers passed a budget that failed to include about $1 million needed to make repairs to the aging center. The center was granted a recurring $350,000 for operations. Herbkersman and Newton failed to get the repair money back into the budget. But they tried.
The research facility needs this money as it helps support the state's $1 billion saltwater fishing industry and sustainable seafood efforts.
The work in Columbia is not done and we are counting on local lawmakers to go back to the table and fight for what is important. That's why we have them representing us in the statehouse.

Brennan: A little perspective needed on Sochi Olympics
- Sochi Winter Olympic Games are weeks away%2C but already have drawn plenty of negative publicity
- Recalling the finalists for the 2014 Games%2C it%27s hard to believe Sochi beat out Salzburg%2C Austria
- While security worries about Sochi are valid%2C previous Games have overcome similar concerns
The Sochi Winter Olympic Games are still two weeks away, but they're already memorable for all the wrong reasons.
It's the rare Olympic Games that make this much news before they begin:
There's a different ominous security threat almost every morning. There's Vladimir Putin. There's the international condemnation of his anti-gay propaganda law. Black-widow suicide bombers might already be inside the so-called "Ring of Steel" security perimeter. Olympic buildings are still under construction. The price tag to build these Olympics from scratch is $50 billion, and counting. The temperature in Sochi Wednesday was 54 degrees.
And to think these Olympic Games could have been held in Salzburg, Austria.
The International Olympic Committee's vote to select the 2014 host city took place July 4, 2007, in Guatemala. There were three candidates: Sochi; Pyeongchang, South Korea; and Salzburg. In the first round of voting, Pyeongchang actually received more votes than Sochi, 36-34. But Salzburg managed only 25, so it was eliminated.
In the next round, Sochi received 51 to Pyeongchang's 47, and that was that. Four years later, Pyeongchang was the winner in the voting for the right to host the 2018 Winter Olympics.
As we approach Sochi, how can our minds not wander to Salzburg, the beautiful and peaceful Alpine town that is best known as the location for The Sound of Music? At the time of the 2007 vote, we thought Salzburg was the loser. In hindsight, perhaps we were. Can we have a recount?
The answer, of course, is no. We're stuck with Sochi. And so, as expectations for these Games run from bad to worse, it's a good time to offer a little perspective.
This will be my 16th consecutive Olympic Games, winter and summer, going back to the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Many were not a walk in the park.
In 1988, there were violent protests in the streets of Seoul and concerns that the North Koreans would open their dams and flood South Korea's rivers – and the Games themselves. That didn't happen, but the fears were real as the Olympics approached.
Move ahead to 1996. Two days before the Summer Olympics opened in Atlanta, TWA Flight 800, scheduled to fly from New York to Paris and Rome, tragically blew up over the Long Island coast. It turned out not to be terrorism, but we didn't know that when President Bill Clinton walked across the stadium floor in the Opening Ceremony 48 hours later to officially open the Games. It was a moment filled with tension, but now it is all but forgotten.
A week later, domestic terrorist Eric Rudolph placed his home-made bomb filled with dynamite and nails in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park. It went off in the early morning of July 27, killing spectator Alice Hawthorne and injuring 111 others. A Turkish cameraman died of a heart attack as he rushed to the scene.
I was in my hotel room overlooking the park when I heard the explosion, and ended up reporting on what I saw from my window for several hours. Later that morning, I was surprised to see a security officer on my window sill, searching for shrapnel.
Security at the Olympic Games hasn't been the same since Sept. 11, 2001. Salt Lake City was the first to host the Olympics after the 9-11 attacks, but a land-locked, highly protected Winter Games did not turn out to be a target.
Athens, Greece, was riskier. The site of the 2004 Summer Olympics was a home game for terrorists, located on the Mediterranean, close to the most tumultuous region in the world. Being the Summer Olympics, it was the first post 9-11 Games that included almost every nation on earth, with all their inherent rivalries and conflicts. That there were no incidents at all still seems miraculous.
So here we are on the verge of Sochi. Never have expectations been lower for a Games in modern history than they are for this one. Never have we feared the worst more.
But it's also true that we've had worries about many Olympic Games, and they've almost always surprised us in the most pleasant of ways.

U.S. Supreme Court rejects challenge to DUI machines
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a motorist's challenge to the reliability of the machines used in California to test the blood alcohol content of drivers.
The justices, without comment, denied review of a state Supreme Court ruling in November that concluded that the machines are accurate and can be used to determine whether a driver's blood alcohol was over the legal limit of .08 percent.
The state court noted that the devices have been studied by the Legislature and certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The ruling meant that the defense can't present testimony from scientists who contend that breath-testing machines are inherently unreliable, although a defendant can try to show that a particular machine was defective or was used improperly, the court said.
The case comes from San Diego County, where Terry Vangelder was stopped by a highway patrolman in December 2007 after driving his pickup truck at speeds of more than 125 mph. With Vangelder's consent, the officer administered two breath tests that registered .095 and .086 percent.
At Vangelder's trial, the defense offered testimony by Michael Hlastala, a University of Washington professor of medicine and physiology. He said breath-testing machines are unreliable because they measure the content of exhaled air, which can be affected by the rate of breathing and other variables, rather than air that is deep in the lungs and closer to the bloodstream.
A trial judge ruled the testimony speculative and largely inadmissible. Vangelder was convicted of speeding and driving with an excessive blood alcohol level and fined nearly $2,000.
Vangelder's lawyer, Charles Sevilla, said Monday he was disappointed that the U.S. Supreme Court had refused to take up the case. The California ruling was "unduly trusting in the infallibility of government testing of these machines," he said.
The case is Vangelder vs. California, No. 13-1012.

Trudy Pickett gives tips on how to deal with mold and mildew.
Ammonia and bleach are equally effective weapons in the battle against mold and mildew. However, each has its own distinct applications. Under no conditions should the two ever be combined. When cleaning mold and mildew-laden areas, make sure you are in a well�ventilated area. For added protection, wear rubber gloves and a mask to be safest.
Clean the mildew off unfinished wooden patio furniture and picnic tables with a mixture of 1 cup ammonia, � cup vinegar and � cup baking soda and 1 gallon water. Rinse off thoroughly and use an old terry-cloth towel to absorb excess moisture.
To remove mildew from painted outdoor surfaces, use the same combination of ingredients. To remove mildew from wicker furniture, wash it down with a solution of 2 tablespoons ammonia in 1 gallon water. Use an old toothbrush to get into hard to reach twists and turns. Rinse well and let air-dry.
Bleach and ammonia are both useful for removing mold and mildew, both inside and outside your home. However, the two should never be used together. Bleach is especially suited for the following chores:
Wash mildew out of washable fabrics. Wet the mildewed area and rub in some powdered laundry detergent. Then wash the garment in the hottest water setting permitted by the clothing manufacturer using � cup chlorine bleach. If the garment can�t be washed in hot water and bleach, soak it in a solution of 1/4 cup all-fabric bleach dissolved in 1 gallon of warm water for 30 minutes before washing.
Remove mold and mildew from the grout in bathroom tile. Mix equal parts of chlorine bleach and water in a spray bottle and spray it over grout. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub with a stiff brush and rinse. You can also do this just to whiten bathroom grout.
Get mildew and other stains off unpainted cement, patio stones or stucco. Mix a solution of 1 cup chlorine bleach in 2 gallons water. Scrub vigorously with a stiff or wire brush and rinse. If any stains remain, scrub again using � cup washing soda (sodium carbonate, not baking soda) dissolved in 2 gallons warm water.
To remove mildew from painted surfaces and siding, make a solution of � cup chlorine bleach in 2 cups water and apply with a brush to mildewed areas. Let the solution set for 15 minutes, then rinse.
White vinegar is also effective when you want to remove mildew stains. It can be safely used without additional ventilation and can be applied to almost any surface � bathroom fixtures and tile, clothing, furniture, painted surfaces, plastic curtains and more. To eliminate heavy mildew accumulations, use it full strength. For light stains, dilute it with an equal amount of water. Hydrogen peroxide, 3 percent strength, can also be used without diluting on most bathroom surfaces to get rid of mold and mildew.

Former rep. testifies in own defense
Soltani accused of reckless conduct during police chase
The trial of a former state representative accused of interfering with a police chase wrapped up Tuesday with him taking the stand in his own defense.
Tony Soltani represented himself in the case. Shortly after his arrest in April, he told News 9 he felt compelled to get involved in the case, but Tuesday, he had a different recollection of that night.
Soltani told the jury he was being singled out and persecuted for his actions during the police chase in Epsom. Accused of reckless conduct, Soltani became emotional while talking about his background and service in the Coast Guard.
"And I decided from then on, I would live by a code," he said.
Soltani testified that he saw a police cruiser chasing a Mercedes and at one point used his car to try to block the exit from a parking lot. Soltani said he then tried to avoid a collision by moving his car, but he ended up side by side with the other car in the oncoming lane of traffic.
Swept up in the chase, he said, he tried to do the safest thing possible.
"I had the element of surprise; he did not," Soltani said. "I also had a front-heavy car; he did not. I was able to pull up and get in front of him."
Soltani was a part-time police officer in Epsom in the 1980s. He has butted heads with the Police Department in the past and said that was behind his arrest.
"Ask yourself if justice is what they seek, or is there an undercurrent of vengeance," Soltani said. "An undercurrent of silencing criticism."
But in closing arguments, prosecutors said Soltani had a simple motive.
"The defendant wanted to be part of this," said Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Michael Valentine. "The defendant wants to be law enforcement again."
The judge gave the jury instructions Tuesday afternoon, and it's expected the jury will begin deliberations Wednesday morning.

Republicans' Budget Reconciliation Bill Makes Wrong Choices, Targets Seniors, Middle Class, Most Vulnerable
While Democrats are committed to reducing the deficit in a balanced way, the Republican budget makes the wrong choices and is not a serious attempt at deficit reduction. Instead of working with Democrats on a deficit reduction plan that calls on all Americans to pay their fair share and prevents sequestration from occurring through a balanced mix of spending cuts and revenues, the Republican budget ends the Medicare guarantee and destroys jobs, while cutting taxes for the wealthy. Today, the Budget Committee is marking up a reconciliation bill that lays out more spending cuts that target the most vulnerable among us and put our economy at risk.
- "Here come the House Republicans…shifting billions from poverty programs to the Pentagon, all within hours of adopting an entirely new round of tax cuts for those earning more than $1 million a year…the whole exercise seems less about debt than staving off defense cuts and tax increases in January. And just 24 hours after committees approved the deepest cuts from poverty programs, the full House voted along party lines April 19 to approve nearly $46 billion in new tax cuts." [Politico, 5/3/12]
- "Totaling a little more than $300 billion over a decade, the new cuts are aimed less at tackling $1 trillion-plus government deficits and more at preventing cuts to troop levels and military modernization... Fully one-fourth of the House GOP spending cuts come from programs directly benefiting the poor, such as Medicaid, food stamps, the Social Services Block Grant, and a child tax credit claimed by working immigrants.… Republicans would also eliminate Social Services Block Grants, a $1.7 billion a year program that gives states money for Meals on Wheels, day care, adoption assistance, and transportation help for the elderly and disabled." [Associated Press, 5/7/12]
- "House Republicans are set to advance legislation to replace automatic defense spending cuts they agreed to last year with cuts to programs for the poor and working class. The controversial measure is expected to pass the House and die in the Senate, making it largely a political exercise that allows the two parties to contrast the values at the heart of the 2012 election: Should the burden for addressing the country's long-running fiscal challenges fall to struggling people, or to the wealthiest people in the country?" [TPM, 5/7/12]
Some lowlights from their budget reconciliation proposal:
- Slashing food stamps by $33.2 billion at a time when families can least afford it: "An average family of four would face an 11 percent cut in monthly benefits after Sept. 1 and, even more important, tighter enforcement of rules would require that households exhaust most of their liquid assets before qualifying for help. This hits hardest among the long-term unemployed, who would be forced off the rolls until they have spent down their savings to less than $2,000 in many cases." [Politico, 4/16/12]
- Permanently eliminating the Social Services Block Grant program, which provides assistance for roughly 23 million Americans, including:
- Child care and related assistance for 4.4 million children,
- "Meals on Wheels" and other home-based services for nearly 1.7 million older Americans,
- Child protective services for 1.8 million at-risk children,
- Transportation, respite care and other services for nearly 1 million disabled individuals.
- Putting our nation at risk of another financial crisis by ending our ability to deal with banks that are "too big to fail."
- Politicizing the process of funding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an office created to protect consumers from predatory practices that contributed to the financial crisis.
- Eliminating the Medicaid and CHIP Maintenance-of-Effort (MOE) requirement included as part of the Affordable Care Act, putting 300,000 children at risk of losing health insurance coverage, according to CBO.
- Cutting the Prevention and Public Health Fund, which provided 61 communities and states with funding in fiscal year 2011 to implement health and wellness programs and benefitted approximately 120 million Americans, according to HHS.
- Targeting federal employees by cutting gross federal employee pay by 5% by increasing employee contributions to FERS (from 0.8% to 5.8% of gross salary) and CSRS (from 7% to 12% of gross salary) pension programs, at a time when federal employees are already experiencing effects of a two-year pay freeze.
Republican priorities couldn't be more clear: cutting taxes for the wealthy at the expense of seniors, the middle class, and the most vulnerable among us.

Now when junior complains that one of the evil neighborhood kids has stolen his favorite toy, hand him this Lil' CSI kit, complete with UV light, and get him dusting for prints.
G/O Media may get a commission
There's even an ID card and ink pad so anyone that enters said playroom can get their prints on file, in case any funny business should happen later, and some evidence sacks to bag up incriminating fibers. What every kid needs is their own high-security, civil-rights-violating border crossing station in his room. I had my prints lifted off a water bottle, so this thing works. It's $16 and available this fall. [Toy Fair 2009]

BOSTON—After struggling for more than 120 minutes to score even once, the Blackhawks beat Boston goalie Tuukka Rask a half-dozen times in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final to send the series back to Chicago tied two games apiece. Now that's an Original Six. Brent Seabrook's slap shot 9:51 into overtime gave the Blackhawks a 6-5 victory on Wednesday night, restoring the home-ice advantage to the Western Conference champions. Game 5 is Saturday night in the United Center, with Game 6 back in Boston on Monday. Adam GretzReuniting Toews, Kane pays off in Game 4 win
"I guess it was just our turn to score again," said Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane, who had a goal and an assist in the back-and-forth game in which Boston come back to tie the score three times. "It was a fun game to play. … I'm sure the fans enjoyed that, for sure."
It was the third overtime game in the matchup of Original Six franchises, but it bore little resemblance to the three tightly contested games that opened the series. The teams combined for five goals in the second period — as many as in Games 2 and 3 combined — as t bounced back from its first shutout of the season with its most prolific output of the playoffs. Bryan Bickell and Michal Rozsival had two assists apiece for the Hawks, who had scored only five goals total in the first three games of the series and hadn't gotten the puck past Rask in more than 129 minutes coming into Game 4. Corey Crawford made 28 saves, coughing up the lead three times.
"They keep coming," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "One of those nights."
Patrice Bergeron scored twice and Zdeno Chara and Jaromir Jagr each had two assists for Boston, which has won 11 of 14 playoff games; the three losses have all been in overtime. Rask made 41 saves but he was screened by Jonathan Toews on the game-winner, which quickly e Hawksquieted the building where Boston had earned a dominating, 2-0 victory two nights earlier — the only Blackhawks' shutout of the season.
"One of the things we have talked about, get pucks to the net," said Seabrook, a defenseman who also had the overtime goal in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. "I just tried getting it on net, we had a great screen in front. … It just found a way."
The Blackhawks led 1-0, 4-2 and 5-4, but each time the Bruins evened it up. The last, just 55 seconds after the Hawks took the lead, came when Johnny Boychuk slapped it over a sliding Johnny Oduya with 7:46 left in regulation. Boychuk, who had never scored more than five goals in a season, has six in the postseason.
"It wasn't a Bruins' type of game, but at the same time you have to get yourself back into it," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Our guys worked hard to score goals. Probably got ourselves out of what our normal game plan is. So we opened up and we scored goals, but we also gave them some goals, like the game-winning goal."
Seabrook plays heroSeabrook's OT winner evens Stanley Cup Final The overtime was even until the Bruins failed to clear the zone, and the Blackhawks got the puck to Seabrook at the right point. What seemed like a harmless shot eluded Rask, and the Blackhawks followed with a subdued celebration at the end of another long night.
"If he sees the puck, he's going to be almost impossible to beat," Quenneville said. "We want to make sure we get there and make it hard on him to find it, try to go on the second and third opportunity. Nice ending with traffic in the net, Seabs having a shot that tied us up."
The Bruins had trailed for under 60 minutes total of the almost 900 minutes they had played in the postseason. But the Blackhawks came out strong early in this one, recording the first seven shots and taking a 1-0 lead on a short-handed goal when Oduya was off for interference early in the first period. Brandon Saad picked Tyler Seguin clean in the defensive zone and brought the puck down the ice before flipping it across to Michal Handzus, who rattled it in off the post to make it 1-0. That snapped Rask's shutout streak that dated to the first period of Game 2, but the lead didn't last for long. None of them did. The Bruins tied it on the power play when Andrew Ference kept the puck in at the blue line, and Rich Peverley finished it off with a wrist shot. But it was in the second period that the teams really opened things up.Toews tipped in Rozsival's shot to put the Blackhawks back in the lead with 6 minutes gone. Just over two minutes later, took its first two-goal lead of the series when Kane converted a rebound to make it 3-1.It stayed that way for six minutes before Milan Lucic deflected Chara's shot into Crawford and then put back his own rebound to make it a one-goal game. Forty-nine seconds later, Kruger stuck with the puck until he had poked it past Rask and into the net to make it 4-2. That's when Boston got some luck.Chara's shot from the center of the blue line deflected off Crawford's left shoulder and over the net, where it hit the back wall, bounced back onto the top of the net and landed in the slot, right in front of Bergeron. He chipped it in to make it 4-3, then tied it two minutes into the third.
"You think you have a good lead at 3-1 and they made it 3-2. Then we had 4-2 and they scored on the power play," Kane said. "It was back and forth the whole game but a fun game to play."
Patrick Sharp gave the Hawks a 5-4 lead with 8:41 left in regulation — on an assist from Marian Hossa, who missed Game 3 with an undisclosed injury — but it lasted only 55 seconds before Boychuk tied it.
NOTES—Bruins Hall of Famer Bobby Orr, who also played briefly for the Hawks, was in the crowd, waving a yellow towel in support of the Bruins….Boston killed 29 consecutive penalties dating to Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, including the first 13 Blackhawk opportunities of the Final…..The Blackhawks had the first seven shots of the game despite a penalty that left them short-handed…..Jagr assisted on both goals by Bergeron, giving the 1999 NHL MVP 199 career postseason points. He is fifth all-time…..Midway through the first, Boston's Shawn Thornton hit the scoreboard when he lofted the puck out of the zone.
Hawks outlast Bruins 6-5 on Seabrook's OT goal. Finals tied 2-2, back to United Center.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Kevin Harvick made his No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet as wide as he could in the final laps, holding off repeated challenges for the lead on his way to victory Saturday night in The Sprint Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway.
On the last lap, Harvick blocked both Greg Biffle and Tony Stewart to win his third career Sprint Unlimited, NASCAR's fan-favorite non-points event that featured the debut of the Gen-6 race car. Harvick's previous Sprint Unlimited wins came in 2009 and 2010.
"Any time you're in Victory Lane here in Daytona, it's a great day," Harvick said. "When you're coming from white (flag) to checkered, it's whatever you have to do to make it happen. It was a great day for our Budweiser Chevy and I'm glad we got Speedweeks started off the right way."
Tony Stewart captured the event's first 30-lap segment, while Harvick won the second 25-lap segment and the final 20-lap dash. Overall, Harvick led 40 of the 75 laps.
"I was nervous about the 20 (Matt Kenseth) and the 14 (Stewart). I thought their cars were a little bit better than what we had," Harvick said. "I felt (Kenseth) had the strongest car and he could make a lot happen on the bottom by himself. So, I was glad to see him get shuffled back there."
Biffle and Joey Logano rounded out the top three while Stewart finished fourth.
"That is why I haven't won a Daytona 500 yet," Stewart said of the last lap. "I'm not quite sure exactly which move to make. We learned a lot. The good thing is we have 500 miles to get it done (next) weekend. This thing was fast today."
The format for selecting The Sprint Unlimited field of drivers returned to its roots in 2013. The eligible field of drivers consisted of pole winners from the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season and past winners of The Sprint Unlimited who have attempted to qualify for at least one race during the 2012 season.
In addition, race fans had the final voice in selecting the starting lineup, choosing from three different options. Fans in attendance on Saturday night voted that the 19-car field would line up in the order in which drivers won their first pole last season.
Also, fans in attendance were eligible to receive special upgraded race experiences including roles as Grand Marshal, Honorary Starter, and trophy presenter. Fans delivered the trophy to Gatorade Victory Lane and participated in driver introductions.
Race fans shaped the race by voting on race elements such as length of each race segment, type of team pit stop after first segment, how many cars would be eliminated after the second segment and the type of fire suit Miss Sprint Cup would wear.
Race activity picks up Sunday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. with Daytona 500 Qualifying Presented By Kroger.
Tickets for all Budweiser Speedweeks events are available online at www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP.
Fans can also stay connected with Daytona International Speedway on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest for the latest news all season long.

Barred Spiral Galaxies are Latecomers to the Universe
Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - 08:21 in Astronomy & Space
In a landmark study of more than 2,000 spiral galaxies from the largest galaxy census conducted by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers found that so-called barred spiral galaxies were far less plentiful 7 billion years ago than they are today, in the local universe. The study's results confirm the idea that bars are a sign of galaxies reaching full maturity as the "formative years" end. The observations are part of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS).
